While Young Master Tianqing and the rest were in their old residence, Xiao Fan was nearing the end of his pill refinement in the City Lord Mansion.
At this moment, the large courtyard was filled with a refreshing fragrance that caused one's entire body to feel extremely comfortable. This refreshing fragrance slowly spread. Not long after, everyone in the entire City Governor's Mansion could smell this refreshing fragrance that left one with an endless aftertaste.
"What is this smell? It's so fragrant! "
"It's really fragrant. It's so comfortable to smell it!"
"Where did this fragrance come from?"
Many people in the City Lord's Mansion temporarily stopped what they were doing and looked around. They were incomparably surprised as they discussed in low voices.
"How fragrant!"
When Shangguan Chen and the rest smelled the fragrance, they could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"What kind of pill is this? Pill clouds actually appeared before the pill was formed? " Compared to the others who were only amazed by the fragrance that appeared during Xiao Fan's pill refinement process, the leading alchemist elder in Red Rock City noticed something that others did not.
He very sharply noticed that above Xiao Fan's pill refinement furnace, there was a faint mist that did not dissipate. Perhaps to outsiders, this mist was a natural phenomenon that appeared during the pill refinement process. However, only an expert would know how extraordinary this mist, known as Pill Clouds, was.
Pill Clouds were a miraculous phenomenon that would only appear when refining a true supreme grade pill. At the same time, Pill Clouds were an important method to determine the grade of a pill.
The thicker the Pill Clouds, the higher the grade of the pill. The larger the area covered by the Pill Clouds, the higher the grade of the pill. If the Pill Clouds were not only thicker, but they also covered a large area. Then, the pill would be a supreme grade pill amongst the high grade pills and could be said to be priceless!
Right now, the pill cloud that Xiao Fan was refining wasn't particularly thick. It was only a thin layer, and the coverage wasn't large either. It only covered the alchemy furnace. However, no matter what, it was still a pill cloud. Out of ten thousand alchemists, there might not even be one alchemist who could form a pill cloud when refining. This was enough to prove that Xiao Fan's pill was not an ordinary pill and that Xiao Fan himself was not an ordinary alchemist.
"Perhaps, Xiao Fan is still weaker than Grandmaster Qin Yang!" Old Zhang thought in his heart. "Although his pill refinement technique is exquisite and unparalleled, even Grandmaster Qin Yang is only at his level, the Pill Clouds that appear during pill refinement cannot be compared to Grandmaster Qin Yang's level!"
"Therefore, his ability in pill refinement should still be slightly weaker. Perhaps I was wrong previously!"
"But this should be the case, it makes sense. Monstrous genius? How can there be so many monstrous geniuses in this world? "
Old Zhang muttered to himself in a low voice. He seemed to be comforting himself as he let out a long sigh from his mouth. Then, as if he had put down something, he felt relieved and incomparably relaxed.
However!
In the next moment, as if he was struck by lightning, his entire body suddenly stiffened on the spot. His eyes suddenly widened and there was a strong sense of disbelief and intense shock in them.
This was because he saw the Pill Clouds on Xiao Fan's furnace suddenly split into two. Then, the Pill Clouds on the left turned into an illusory dragon while the one on the right turned into an illusory tiger. The illusory dragon and illusory tiger could be said to be so vivid that even the scales and hair on their bodies could be seen clearly.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
The illusory dragon and illusory tiger suddenly opened their mouths and roared silently. Then, they seemed to have intelligence and life. They began to entangle and bite each other in the air, forming a strange scene of a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
"Eh? What's that? " In next to no time, Shangguan Chen and the others noticed the illusory dragon and illusory tiger above the cauldron, and then Shangguan Tong immediately cried out.
"What a strange scene!" Shangguan Chen and the grey-robed elder did not speak, but Zheng Yu was silent for a long time. He could not help but cry out in surprise.
"Elder, do you know what that is?" Shangguan Chen turned his head slightly. He whispered to the elder beside him.
Hearing Shangguan Chen's words, Old Zhang did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared fixedly at the illusory dragon and illusory tiger above the furnace, his entire body trembling violently.
"Old Zhang!" Seeing the elder's reaction, Shangguan Chen was a little stunned and immediately could not help but speak again.
"That! Is! Pill! Cloud! Transform! Form! "
Until then, Old Zhang finally spoke word by word with great difficulty. Moreover, every word was spoken very slowly and with great difficulty. After finishing this sentence, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and his entire body almost went limp on the ground.
"Pill Cloud Form? What's that? "Shangguan Chen frowned and asked again.
He really did not know much about alchemy. He could only roughly distinguish the level of an alchemist and the quality of an elixir. He was completely clueless about some of the exclusive terms in the alchemist profession.
"I won't be able to explain this matter in a few sentences. The only thing I can say is that Xiao Fan's alchemy standard has already surpassed Grandmaster Qin Yang and the other top alchemists in Tianqi Province!" At this moment, old man Zhang finally regained his senses and said with a bitter smile.
"What?" Hearing Old Zhang's words, Shangguan Chen and the others were all stunned. Then, they turned their heads and looked at Old Zhang with disbelief on their faces.
"The illusory dragon and illusory tiger that are like mist is what all of us alchemists hope to see the most when we refine elixirs. Pill Cloud!" Old Zhang began to explain in a low voice, "Pill Cloud is an important indicator to judge the level and quality of an elixir. The denser the pill cloud is, the higher the level of the elixir refined. The wider the pill cloud is, the higher the grade of the elixir!"
"An alchemist who can produce a pill cloud when refining pills is one in ten thousand. Once a pill cloud appears, then this alchemist is qualified to be called a master, just like Master Qin Yang and the other alchemist masters who are famous in the entire Tianqi County!"
"Right now, Xiao Fan has done it!"
"That's not right, Old Zhang!" Suddenly, another old alchemist under Shangguan Chen raised a question and said, "The denser the pill cloud is, the higher the grade of the elixir refined and the wider the pill cloud is." "The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the grade of the elixir. I also specially went to see the scene of Master Qin Yang refining elixirs in Sun Moon City!"
"Grandmaster Qin Yang's pill cloud is so thick that it's like a wall of fog. It's airtight. Furthermore, Grandmaster Qin Yang's pill cloud is so big that it's almost like a cloud in the sky. It's enveloping half of Sun Moon City. Although Xiao Fan has also produced Pill Cloud, his Pill Cloud is not on the same level as Master Qin Yang's in terms of density and breadth. How can you say that he is stronger than Master Qin Yang? "
"That's right. I have also seen the scene of Master Qin Yang refining elixirs in the past. That Pill Cloud is incomparably terrifying. Xiao Fan's Pill Cloud is simply incomparable!"
"This Xiao Fan is very strong. He is not an ordinary alchemist. However, Old Zhang, if you say that he is on par with Master Qin Yang, or even stronger than Master Qin Yang, then you are saying that he is not an ordinary alchemist. Isn't it a bit exaggerated? "
"I think so too!"
As the old alchemist spoke, the other alchemists also spoke one after another, expressing their doubts.
"You guys don't know!" Old Zhang sighed and said, "The denser the Pill Cloud is, the higher the grade of the elixir refined. The wider the Pill Cloud is, the higher the grade of the elixir refined. This principle is not wrong. However, very few of you know that there is actually a sentence behind this principle! "
"This sentence is that if the Pill Cloud can transform, then no matter how dense or wide your Pill Cloud is, it is useless. You are invincible! "
"Is there such a sentence?" The old alchemist frowned and asked, "Then why haven't I heard of this sentence?"
"I haven't heard of it either!"
"I haven't heard of it either!"
The other alchemists also whispered one after another.
"My teacher told me about the Elixir Cloud Transfiguration after reading about it in an ancient book. He also said that due to some special reasons, the information about the Elixir Cloud Transfiguration is basically in the hands of world-class alchemy masters who are famous throughout the Central Emperor Realm. Low-level alchemists like us have no way of knowing! "Old Zhang said very confidently," However, the Pill Cloud Transformation technique is absolutely terrifying. Because the Pill Cloud Transformation is one of the most important methods for an alchemist to kill a cultivator head-on! "
"Alchemist? Kill a cultivator head-on? " Hearing Old Zhang's words, not only were the alchemists stunned, but even Shangguan Chen and the others were dumbfounded. They were extremely shocked.
"In everyone's impression, cultivators are incomparably powerful and are unquestionably number one. As long as a Formation Master can find a powerful pet demonic beast, he can also compete with a cultivator in terms of combat strength. As a Weapon Refiner refines armor and swords all year round, he naturally has no lack of divine weapons. In terms of combat strength, he is also not weak!" Old Zhang said with emotion, "Only an alchemist seems to be able to become someone's subordinate and can only refine elixirs for others. No matter how high his alchemy level is and how high his reputation is, he is ultimately powerless and can't control his own fate!"
"However, very few people know that an alchemist also has his own unique way of fighting."
"And the most important part of this way of fighting is the Pill Cloud Transformation!"
"Pill Cloud Transformation? Do you think that the Pill Cloud Transformation is just for show? No, those illusory figures have powerful killing power. Moreover, as long as the medicinal power in the elixir hasn't dissipated, the illusory figures condensed by the Pill Cloud Transformation can exist forever and fight forever! "
"Immortal body, endless energy, terrifying lethality, and the power of the Core Cloud Transformation are beyond your imagination!" "Hahaha! Hahaha!
The surroundings were silent!
No one spoke because they were all shocked by Mr. Zhang's words.
Was this for real?
Pill Cloud Transformation?
Does an alchemist really have such a terrifying method? Can he compete with a cultivator in terms of combat strength?
"Governor, this Xiao Fan's background is absolutely extraordinary. His true identity and background may be … terrifying and powerful beyond our imagination!" Old Zhang turned his head again at this time, and then there was a trace of unconcealable fear in his eyes as he said to Shangguan Chen forcefully, word by word, "We'd better not offend him, not at all!"
"Otherwise, believe me, the consequences are definitely not something that any of us here can bear!"
"Even the Water Cloud Holy Ground, the Night Formation Guild, and the Wind Formation Guild, these giants in Tianqi County, can't do it. This is because if they see this scene, I'm afraid that all of them will tremble and kneel down!"
"Pill Cloud Transformation is something that shouldn't appear in our Tianqi County, our Qingyun Lower Prefecture!"
After a long silence, Shangguan Chen finally laughed bitterly and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Old Zhang. I understand!"
"Governor, it's best that you remember this matter, I …!" Old Zhang saw the seriousness in Shangguan Chen's eyes, and then he nodded his head in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, in the distant courtyard, Xiao Fan finally finished refining the Dragon Tiger Pill.
"Buzz!"
The alchemy cauldron suddenly shook a little, and then there was a low buzzing sound. Then, the illusory dragon and illusory tiger above the cauldron separated from each other, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were quietly waiting for the Dragon Tiger Pill to come out of the cauldron.
"Boss, guess how many pills are in the cauldron?" The Final Magic Sword in Xiao Fan's body suddenly laughed and asked.
"Twelve!" Xiao Fan replied.
"I guess eleven!" The Final Magic Sword shook its head and said.
"Why don't we have a bet?" Xiao Fan laughed.
"Sure, I can't ask for anything more. Say, what do you want to bet?" The Final Magic Sword was suddenly interested, and it immediately laughed and said excitedly.
"If I win, you have to give me three bottles of the Nine Heavens Dew Wine that you secretly kept. If I lose, I will go to the Netherworld Mountain in the future, and then I will persuade that little girl to come out. How about that?" Xiao Fan said with a smile.
"I only have ten bottles of Nine Heavens Dew Wine, and these ten bottles of Nine Heavens Dew Wine are treasures that I have been saving for countless years. Now that you want three bottles at once, isn't it too cruel?" The Final Magic Sword protested.
"Do you think that little girl is easy to persuade? You can't enter that place, and I'm afraid that it will be troublesome if I go in and persuade her to come out. Do you think I want to do this? "Xiao Fan complained.
"Okay, deal!" The Magic Sword hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. However, it immediately said, "But you have to promise that you will persuade her to come out. Otherwise, I won't do it!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Xiao Fan patted his chest and laughed. (End)
