Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Mo Di waved his hand and a long pitch-black flame whip immediately formed. With a thought, he viciously swung it at the medicinal cauldron hovering in the sky.
However, the expected explosion did not occur. The pitch-black flame completely covered the medicinal cauldron the instant it made contact with it, refining both the inner and outer layers at the same time!
On the stone platform, Xiao Yan involuntarily frowned when he saw Mo Di's move. From the moment Mo Di made his move, he could clearly sense that Mo Di's Spiritual Strength had suddenly increased by a large margin. It was also because of this that Mo Di had the guts to make such a bold move.
Although the strength was disappearing as Mo Di wantonly displayed it, Xiao Yan increasingly felt that something was amiss. Could it be that this fellow was hiding his strength?
However, from the rapidly dissipating Spiritual Strength, it did not seem like Mo Di was hiding his strength. Instead, it seemed to be some kind of temporary strength.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's frown deepened. Could it be that there was some kind of secret technique in the Yuanwu Continent that could temporarily increase one's Spiritual Strength?
Compared to Xiao Yan's doubts, Gu Li and Chi Lin, who were seated in the judges' seats, were currently staring at Mo Di with gloomy expressions. The two of them could not wait to strike and kill him!
"Blood Spirit Pill! That bastard! "
At this very moment, even Elder Xuan, who was hidden in the crowd, could not help but curse out loud. It was obvious that he hated Mo Di's actions to the core!
The young man beside him merely sneered. He used the jade fan in his hand to press down on Elder Xuan, who was itching to immediately stand up and attack. His indifferent voice rang out once again.
"There is no need to be anxious. After seeing such a method, there should be someone even more anxious than us. There will naturally be someone who will deal with this foolish old man …"
Upon hearing these words, Elder Xuan angrily snorted and once again sat down. His sinister gaze could not be bothered to look at Mo Di. Instead, it turned towards Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Gu Li and Chi Lin were exactly as the young man had said. While Elder Xuan was anxious, their hearts were filled with anger!
The method that Mo Di was currently using was strictly forbidden by the Pill Tower!
With the aid of the medicinal pill's power, one's soul strength could be greatly enhanced in a short period of time. Although doing this might be able to play a role in turning the tide at the critical moment of refining the medicinal pill, the refining method of this medicinal pill was something that all alchemists would abandon!
That was to transform living beings into pills!
If one were to use Xiao Yan's method of refining a person's soul, it could be considered as a direct obliteration. This method was still barely acceptable. However, if one were to use the method that Mo Di was using, it was an even more cruel method!
Transforming life into a pill required one to use a complete human's flesh and blood as an embryonic pill. One's soul was used as a catalyst to refine the body and condense it into a medicinal pill. After which, one's soul would be sealed within. This method would cause one's soul to gradually die in an extremely slow process. The pain involved would be even more unimaginable!
Some of these medicinal pills might not necessarily be consumed by others until the moment the soul within them was tempered to the point it completely dissipated. Thus, the degree of cruelty of these medicinal pills simply made one's hair stand on end!
Moreover, not only was the refinement method of this kind of medicinal pill extremely cruel, it would also not bring any benefits to the person who consumed it. On the contrary, it would plant a trace of resentment in the depths of the person's soul. On the continent, there was no lack of people who had gone crazy after consuming too many of these medicinal pills. The fates of these people were usually not good.
It was also because of this that the Pill Tower had strictly forbidden such medicinal pills. If anyone was discovered to be refining one, the Pill Tower's experts would immediately be dispatched to forcefully kill them!
The Blood Spirit Pill was one of the names for the Transforming Life Pill. It referred to the fact that this medicinal pill specialized in increasing one's Spiritual Strength.
The other name was the Blood Spirit Pill. It specialized in increasing one's Dou Qi or Genesis Qi. Although the names were different, their methods were similarly extremely cruel!
At this very moment, the powerful aura from Mo Di's body swiftly faded. The Gu Li duo could only watch as Mo Di swallowed the medicinal pill, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, Mo Di's aura had already completely disappeared. Even if the two of them attacked, they would not be able to take Mo Di down. There were not many people present who recognized an extremely cruel item like the Blood Spirit Pill. If they attacked, the other party would definitely retaliate.
Thus, at that moment, Gu Li and Gu Li could only watch as Mo Di continued in this manner.
The corners of Mo Di's mouth curled into an icy smile when he saw the gloomy yet helpless expressions of the Gu Li duo. With a wave of his hand, the surging black flames swiftly scattered. The medicinal ingredients in the cauldron were similar to the ones in Xiao Yan's cauldron. It was time to refine them.
Xiao Yan paid no attention to this. He did not know what had happened to Mo Di, but he knew that it was time to refine the medicinal ingredients in his cauldron.
...
As Mo Di returned the cauldron to its original position, the lively atmosphere returned to normal. However, the scene in the duo's cauldrons was completely different.
Various medicinal ingredients were gradually being refined under the intense fire. The useless parts had already been removed from the outermost layer, turning into powder that scattered at the bottom of the cauldron.
As these medicinal ingredients were slowly refined, some medicinal essence in the form of powder, liquid droplets or viscous substances were gradually extracted from these medicinal ingredients.
Medicinal herbs that were originally the size of a palm or as thick as an arm, after being refined and refined, the remaining essence was not even one-tenth of the initial essence.
This also reflected the preciousness of these medicinal ingredients.
Another day passed unknowingly.
Although the most difficult period of refining had passed, in order to refine medicinal essence that was sufficiently pure, the portions that had been extracted still had to be refined a second time by the flames.
This process was like a sieve that continuously filtered out the impurities in the medicinal ingredients. Only in this way could an alchemist ensure that the medicinal pills refined in the end were of good quality. This was a proof of an alchemist's ability.
Although the continuous refining for a few days was extremely boring, the audience did not disperse. Instead, most of them stayed behind to observe.
Although these audience members were not alchemists, they were still able to learn something from it. After all, regardless of whether they could understand the pill refinement skills of Xiao Yan and Mo Di, both of them were genuine Ban Di experts.
Even a small trick of theirs was an unimaginable existence in the eyes of these Dou Zun and Dou Sheng.
...
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since the Xiao Yan duo had begun refining pills. During this period of time, Xiao Yan and Mo Di opposite him had been paying full attention to the changes in the cauldron until these medicinal ingredients were refined to a sufficiently pure state.
After a week, the hundred medicinal ingredients in Xiao Yan's cauldron had already disappeared. At this moment, all that could be seen were some colorful liquids or powders.
Xiao Yan's tensed heart finally relaxed when he saw the final drop of Dragon Saliva in the cauldron being refined.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Yan waved his hand the moment the last drop of Dragon Saliva was completely refined. The lid of the Thousand Beast Cauldron emitted a 'bang' sound as it opened. Numerous rays of light that were wrapped by Heavenly Flames immediately flew out. Under the control of Xiao Yan's mind, they were placed into many jade bottles.
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan gently exhaled. He glanced at Mo Di, who was preparing to refine medicinal ingredients from the cauldron. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. His gaze once again landed on the medicinal cauldron in front of him.
"Next, it is time to fuse the pills and refine the medicine!"
Xiao Yan muttered in his heart. He ceased hesitating and widened his mouth. A large cluster of Heavenly Flames immediately spat out. They instantly surged into the Thousand Beast Cauldron in front of him. The fierce Heavenly Flames once again burned.
