From the judges' seats, Gu Li watched as Xiao Yan sealed all the medicinal ingredients in ice with one hand and ignited the Heavenly Flame in the cauldron with the other. Gu Li could not help but frown slightly. However, before he could ponder any further, Xiao Yan had already thrown all the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron in the next moment.
It was only at this moment that Gu Li swiftly reacted. No wonder Xiao Yan would use such a strange move. So this was the reason!
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already completely recovered to his peak condition. On the other hand, Mo Di had already begun his first round of medicinal ingredient refinement. At this moment, Xiao Yan's refining speed was already much slower than before.
In order to catch up to Mo Di's speed, Xiao Yan first used the Bone Chilling Flame to seal the medicinal ingredients in ice. Then, he ignited the Heavenly Flame in the cauldron to create an even more terrifying temperature. Using the extreme temperature difference during this period, Xiao Yan was able to weaken the attributes of the medicinal ingredients in the shortest amount of time, making it easier to refine them.
Although this method seemed simple, it required the full cooperation of the two. Extreme heat and extreme cold only existed for a short instant. If the timing was not grasped, the outcome of these medicinal ingredients would be that they would be completely destroyed.
In order to achieve this, not only did one need extremely powerful Spiritual Strength and control, but one also needed sufficient courage!
After all, Xiao Yan only had a total of three sets of medicinal ingredients in his hands. Most importantly, he had never refined an Emperor tier medicinal pill before. This kind of bold experiment was not something an ordinary person could afford!
Moreover, it was likely that Xiao Yan was the only one among all the alchemists who could use such a method!
The Bone Chilling Flame was not something that every alchemist possessed. As for the ice attribute, there had never been such an exception among alchemists.
As for external help, it was even more impossible. The combination of the two temperatures had to reach a point where the results were completely offset. Otherwise, if there was any deviation, the medicinal ingredients would be destroyed.
Hence, this kind of technique could only be used by one person. It was likely that Xiao Yan was the only person on the entire continent who could combine the two.
As they glanced at the medicinal ingredients that were rapidly being refined in the cauldron in front of Xiao Yan, Gu Li and the rest could not help but feel astonished by Xiao Yan's method.
The young man in front of them seemed to always be able to break the rules that they knew. From their point of view, everything that was impossible seemed to have some leeway. To Xiao Yan, it was as though there was nothing that was absolutely impossible.
When Mo Di saw Xiao Yan's method, his heart could not help but tremble. Xiao Yan's ability was truly frightening. If he could not quickly suppress him, Xiao Yan would catch up to him!
Even though he had already reached this stage, Mo Di knew that he could not be anxious at this moment. After all, refining medicinal ingredients was merely the first step in pill refinement. Whether or not he could merge them into a pill was the most crucial part!
…
Time passed bit by bit. As the two of them continued to slowly refine and refine the medicinal ingredients, a day had already passed. Even so, the medicinal ingredients in their cauldrons were still split open, but there was no sign of their flesh being torn apart …
Mo Di was rather confident about this. His face was relaxed as he slowly refined the medicinal ingredients in his cauldron. There was not the slightest trace of anxiousness on his face.
On the other side, Xiao Yan also adopted an indifferent attitude. His attention was still focused on the medicinal ingredients in his cauldron, slowly waiting for the moment when they would give up.
One day, two days …
Time gradually passed. Until a certain moment, under the refinement of the Heavenly Flame, a yellowed ancient vine in Xiao Yan's cauldron, its surface, which had been as hard as a rock for a long time, finally began to crack a tiny crack.
Although this change was insignificant, it was still noticed by Xiao Yan under his close observation. Immediately, Xiao Yan knew that the critical moment of refining the medicinal ingredients was about to arrive.
When he looked at Mo Di again, although he still had an indifferent expression, from the slight frown on his face, one could tell that his heart was not as calm and unperturbed as he appeared on the surface.
Xiao Yan smiled. He did not pay too much attention to Mo Di. His mind controlled the Heavenly Flame in his cauldron and carefully carried out the subsequent refinement.
Under the burning of the Heavenly Flame, the tiny crack lines on the horned dragon-like vine gradually expanded at a rate that was undetectable by the naked eye. One could vaguely see green-green liquid flowing continuously within it.
Those were the ultimate goal of Xiao Yan's refinement of this vine. All the medicinal strength of this vine was within those green-green liquid.
Under the burning of the Heavenly Flame, the gradually yellowed vine seemed to have come alive as it slowly twisted its body. Its yellowed surface gradually turned into powder under the Heavenly Flame and scattered within the cauldron.
As for those green-green liquid within the vine, it also slowly flowed within it. It looked as though it was about to drip, but it ultimately remained attached to the surface of the vine, waiting for the Heavenly Flame to refine it a step further.
Xiao Yan's heart was extremely calm and natural when he saw this. He knew that the closer it was to such a moment, the more he could not be anxious in his heart. Slow work leads to fine work. These words were most appropriate at this moment.
While this side was refining the rattan branch, some of the other medicinal ingredients in the cauldron were also gradually defeated at this moment. The originally green medicinal ingredients gradually turned yellow under the refinement of the Heavenly Flame. Soon after, the essence of the various medicinal ingredients gradually appeared.
At this moment, Mo Di also noticed the changes within Xiao Yan's cauldron. Immediately, his expression involuntarily changed slightly.
Under the current circumstances, any slight change in the pace of the refinement process would affect the direction of the needle for the final victory. If one was not careful, one would miss a good opportunity.
However, when he saw that Xiao Yan had already begun to refine the medicinal ingredients, while he was still bitterly waiting here, Mo Di could not help but feel anxious in his heart. At the same time, he could not help but envy the benefits of Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame.
The frightening power of the Heavenly Flame allowed Xiao Yan to refine such high grade medicinal ingredients at an even faster pace. A Heavenly Flame was really something that people envied!
At this moment, Gu Li was watching the situation in the arena from the judges' seats. A smile involuntarily appeared on his face. In this kind of competition between high tier alchemists, regardless of which aspect was superior, it would change the final outcome. The current situation was naturally the outcome that Gu Li was most willing to see.
However, at this moment, while Xiao Yan was slowly refining the medicinal ingredients, the situation within Mo Di's cauldron suddenly changed. This caused the gazes of everyone present to involuntarily look over.
They saw Mo Di, who was refining the medicinal ingredients, directly stand up. His palm violently smashed against the bottom of the cauldron in front of him. After which, he suddenly exerted his strength and forcefully lifted the cauldron!
This also immediately attracted the gazes of everyone present!
"Humph humph … Yan Xiao, you have your Zhang Liang plan, and I have my ladder. This old man does not have your Heavenly Flame, but I wonder if you can do this old man's move!"
With a stern cry, Mo Di's hand, which was holding the cauldron, suddenly shook. This caused the cauldron to pause in midair. Immediately, just as the cauldron was about to fall, Mo Di's body suddenly circled around on the spot. After which, he heavily kicked the bottom of the cauldron.
"Bang!"
One could only hear a muffled bang sound. The cauldron in front of Mo Di suddenly flew into the air. Immediately, he swung his large hand violently. A long flame whip was instantly formed and violently smashed towards the cauldron!
