Xu Zhen slammed his palm on the medicinal cauldron in front of him. He once again waved his sleeve and hundreds of colorful rays of light shot out. They rotated in the air before being thrown into the medicinal cauldron.
"Golden Gilt Flame, rise!"
With a low cry, Xu Zhen's palm violently slammed into the fire outlet. Immediately, a dazzling golden light filled the sky. The hot flame strength also instantly swept over the space around everyone.
The air instantly became dry and hot. Breathing in caused one's throat to become unusually dry. It was as though all the water in the world had been sucked dry.
The golden light scattered and a cluster of flickering glass-like golden flames fiercely burned within the medicinal cauldron. The fierce flame spat out from the cauldron and shot to the sky. That aura was just like that of a king overlooking the world.
"This … is the strength of Young Master Xu's Golden Gilt Flame? He is indeed worthy of being an elite Dou Zong. Just by revealing his aura, he is actually able to display such strength. It is indeed extraordinary!"
At this moment, quite a number of people revealed surprised expressions. Their expressions were filled with envy as they looked at the Golden Gilt Flame within the cauldron. Their tone also contained quite a lot of flattery.
"That's right, that's right! This Golden Gilt Flame is extraordinary. It is rumored that it is a flame that was born within the body of a rank 7 Magical Beast, the Golden Gilt Beast. Its ability is extraordinary and it possesses a high temperature that can burn the world. It is incomparably terrifying! Adding the body of the Golden Gilt Beast, this Golden Gilt Beast can be said to be invincible among rank 7 Magical Beasts! "
This person's words had just sounded when a cold laugh was quickly emitted before everyone's expression could change.
"Tch, all of you only know that the Golden Gilt Beast's strength is monstrous and can be said to be an invincible existence among rank 7 Magical Beasts. However, you do not know that the Golden Gilt Flame in Young Master Xu's hand was obtained from the body of an adult Golden Gilt Beast that Young Master Xu had personally killed."
"Therefore, the legend of the Golden Gilt Beast being invincible among those of the same class is merely a joke. No matter how strong a fellow is, in front of our Young Master Xu, hei, to speak the truth, one must lie down if one is a tiger and curl up if one is a dragon!"
Another uproar was stirred when these words were uttered. Looking at Xu Zhen's strength, he had only just broken through to the Dou Zong class. However, this Golden Gilt Flame had accompanied Xu Zhen for many years. It was really unexpected that Xu Zhen had personally killed a rank 7 Magical Beast before he had become a Dou Zong. This battle result could be considered frightening!
Unfortunately, while everyone was shocked by these words, they did not notice that the clan emblem of the Yanluo City's Xu Clan was surprisingly embroidered on the chest of his robes …
While everyone below the stage was discussing in amazement, Xu Zhen, who was in the middle of the stage, had a mocking smile on his face as he swept his gaze over the crowd.
"What a bunch of idiots. How could they believe such words? Heh, they are really stupid. Golden Gilt Beast, not to mention me back then, even the current me would have to think twice before dealing with a cub, let alone an adult magical beast. What a bunch of idiots."
Xu Zhen laughed coldly in his heart. He once again turned his gaze to Mu Ling. The expression on his face suddenly became warm. However, there was no need to mention the reason behind this expression.
"Brother Mu, may I know what kind of flame your flame is? It might be a divine flame that will shock everyone. Ha ha!"
Mu Ling stared intently at Xu Zhen. His expression suddenly became violent. The corner of his mouth was lifted into a playful smile as he laughed.
"Although it is not some natural 'Heavenly Flame', it should be sufficient to fight with you."
Mu Ling extended his hand and beckoned as he spoke. His eyes stared into Xu Zhen's eyes as a low cry was suddenly emitted.
"Green Flame Mysterious Flame, rise!"
A cluster of green-green flame suddenly rose in the air in front of Mu Ling following this low cry. A water vapor immediately rose in the air the moment the flame appeared.
Although it was called water vapor, the high temperature contained within it caused one to feel that one's body was incomparably hot after inhaling a breath. It was as though one's body would be incinerated. This flame was actually able to turn everything in the world into one's own use!
This scene was the complete opposite of Xu Zhen's Golden Gilt Flame. One had an extremely terrifying temperature that could evaporate everything and injure one's physical body.
The other was able to use the water vapor in the world as one's own weapon. It could directly attack one's weakest internal organs and injure one's foundation.
"Bang!"
Mu Ling suddenly extended his hand and inserted it into the green-colored flame in front of him. He immediately clenched his hand and held it in his hand.
Without waiting for anyone to react, Mu Ling's hand suddenly waved violently. The green-colored flame turned into a long flame whip. As Mu Ling continued to swing it, it soared into the sky.
The green-colored flame flew in the air. The green light on it was faintly discernible. If one did not observe it carefully, one would not be able to tell that there was a flame in this place.
Although the green-colored flame appeared ordinary, it was extremely powerful. If a person with a low cultivation level were to glance at it, his heart would heat up and his Dou Qi would become violent. If it was serious, he would immediately be set on fire. From this, one could tell just how powerful this green-colored flame was!
However, some people with sharp eyes immediately reacted when they saw the hot air being burned. This flame was the legendary 'Green Flame Mysterious Flame'!
"This is actually the Green Flame Mysterious Flame. It's the Green Flame Mysterious Flame! This is a powerful existence that is second only to a 'Heavenly Flame'! I did not expect that Mu Ling would be lucky enough to obtain it. The heavens are really unfair! "
The moment this voice came out, the expressions of everyone present were instantly startled. The crowd that had yet to quiet down once again began to exclaim in succession. Voices that carried a hint of shock rang out one after another.
"Green Flame Mysterious Flame! It really is the Green Flame Mysterious Flame! "
"This, this, this is the Green Flame Mysterious Flame! It is a terrifying existence that is second only to a 'Heavenly Flame'! "
However, within the crowd, there were also people who blindly worshipped Xu Zhen. Even at this moment, they were doing their best to suppress the shock in their hearts and refute those who believed that this was the Green Flame Mysterious Flame.
"Hey, do you think it is possible? How can an existence like the Green Flame Mysterious Flame be something that Mu Ling can obtain? This is most likely a smokescreen by this brat. He wants to use this to destroy young master Xu's confidence! "
"This person is really scheming!"
"Heh, now that the Mu Clan has fallen, what else can they not do?"
"I don't think so. If it is a smokescreen, it is impossible for this scene to appear."
"Humph! Whether it is real or fake, we will know when we see it! "
… …
Immediately, the originally noisy crowd became even more fanatical. The allure of the Green Flame Mysterious Flame was indeed extraordinary. Just the title of the number one flame below the 'Heavenly Flame' was already sufficient to cause this group of people to go completely crazy.
Xiao Yan also gently smiled at this scene. This flame had indeed aroused a trace of interest in his heart.
The combination of blazing and gentle water was somewhat similar to the Bone Chilling Flame. Although it was not on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, it was indeed pretty good.
Mu Ling's expression changed. Originally, he did not want to do this. However, since Xu Zhen had repeatedly mocked and ridiculed him today, he had no choice but to take out his true trump card now.
"Ha!"
With a stern shout, the green flame that hovered above Mu Ling's head suddenly brightened. A heroic aura that looked down on the world suddenly soared into the sky.
The moment this aura spread out, the Golden Gilt Flame, which had a heaven-defying might a moment ago, instantly became sluggish. It was as if a commoner had seen their king, swaying unsteadily.
At this moment, the Heavenly Flame in Xiao Yan's body was also a little stirred. As a Heavenly Flame, how could a Heavenly Flame allow another flame to lord over it?
Xiao Yan was naturally helpless. With a thought, he suppressed the Heavenly Flame and continued to look at the two of them.
When the scene of the Golden Gilt Fire was reflected in the eyes of the crowd, the faces of those who were still doubting Mu Ling instantly turned into shock. Their eyes were filled with endless greed as they looked at Mu Ling.
Xu Zhen also looked at Mu Ling in astonishment. There was an indescribable iciness in his eyes. Very evidently, Xu Zhen was rather displeased that Mu Ling had suppressed him in this matter.
However, immediately after, Xu Zhen laughed heartily and said:
"I have really underestimated Brother Mu. I did not expect Brother Mu to actually possess such a Heavenly Flame. Since that is the case, let us raise the stakes today."
"If either of us loses, we will have to hand over our flame. Of course, I know that Brother Mu's Green Flame Profound Flame is precious and my Golden Gilt Flame cannot be compared to it. Therefore, I will use something of the same value to add this Golden Gilt Flame to Brother Mu's wager. Otherwise, I will be letting down this Heavenly Flame …"
At the end of his words, there was an additional hint of greed in Xu Zhen's tone. When Mu Ling saw this, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Just as he was about to refute, Xu Zhen directly opened his mouth and blocked the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Brother Mu, don't say that you are afraid of my suggestion. If that is the case, I will treat it as you taking the initiative to forfeit and admit defeat!"
"You!"
When Mu Ling heard this, his heart was naturally filled with anger. This Xu Zhen had obstructed him time and time again today. This was truly infuriating!
However, Xu Zhen completely ignored him. After he finished speaking, he placed all his attention on the medicinal cauldron in front of him. Previously, because Xu Zhen was only warming up the cauldron, he had not started to extract the medicinal essence. Now that he had started, many people's gazes immediately turned towards him.
Just as Xu Zhen was feeling pleased with himself, Mu Ling's hands formed a seal and Spiritual Energy spread out. At the same time, the medicinal cauldron in front of him glowed brightly. Mu Ling's hand patted the body of the cauldron and the lid of the cauldron opened.
Mu Ling waved his hand and brilliant lights filled the air. Hundreds of medicinal herbs floated in the air. Each of them emitted an extremely rich medicinal fragrance that spread for thousands of miles. At a glance, one could tell that they were extraordinary items.
The pupils of the crowd below shrunk and they could not take their eyes off them. This was because they were fortunate enough to have seen these elixirs before. All of them were extremely expensive items. However, why were these elixirs in the hands of this trash?
"Humph! Deliberately mystifying things! "
Xu Zhen furrowed his eyebrows. His limelight in front of the crowd was once again stolen, causing him to feel a wave of displeasure. First impressions were the strongest. He had never placed Mu Ling in his eyes. Therefore, he could only assume that Mu Ling was just putting on a show.
Even so, Xu Zhen was not willing to be at a disadvantage. Soon after, his hands changed. In an instant, a tyrannical Spiritual Energy erupted from his hands and swept towards the medicinal herbs in the medicinal cauldron.
As the saying goes, the connoisseur looks at the skill while the layman looks at the excitement. Although no one in the crowd cared about the Dao of Alchemy, just by looking at this momentum, it still caused people to feel extremely excited.
With regards to the competition between the two, Xiao Yan was naturally not interested. However, Mu Ling's character was quite to his liking. Therefore, he had been waiting in his heart to watch.
As the refinement began, the two medicinal cauldrons were filled with various kinds of medicinal essence. Some were viscous liquids while some were powdered.
The competition between the two could finally be considered to have officially begun.
… …
A day quietly passed by. Batches of onlookers had been replaced by batches. However, the medicinal pills were still in the process of being refined. From the looks of it, it would take quite some time for the two to successfully refine the medicinal pills.
Among these people, there were also some who discovered that although the spectators in the periphery were continuously moving about, there was a black clothed figure standing straight in the middle of the arena without the slightest change. Only he was still observing the two of them refining medicine. It was as though he was startled and engrossed in it.
Xiao Yan casually swept his gaze across the embryonic medicinal pill within Xu Zhen's medicinal cauldron. A tinge of astonishment involuntarily flashed across his eyes. Although Xu Zhen was not a good person, his strength was indeed not bad.
After feeling slightly astonished in his heart, Xiao Yan once again turned his gaze towards Mu Ling. A glint flashed across the depths of his eyes.
"One is a tier 7 Great Cyclic Pill and the other is a tier 7 Poria Pill. Both of them are top grade healing medicinal pills among the tier 7 medicinal pills. However, the refining method of the Great Cyclic Pill is one that is easier to control. Xu Zhen also knows how to choose. In this way, his chances of successfully refining it is higher than Mu Ling's."
"In terms of medicinal strength, the Poria Pill refined by Mu Ling is indeed superior to the Great Cyclic Pill. However, the difficulty of refining it far exceeds that of the Great Cyclic Pill. It is really uncertain if Mu Ling will be able to defeat Xu Zhen."
… …
Time flew by. Five days later, the medicinal cauldron, which had not changed since the beginning, suddenly emitted a strange fragrance. This fragrance was the fragrance of a pill. Once this pill fragrance spread, the entire Yan Luo City instantly became lively.
"This is the fragrance of a pill! This is the pill fragrance that can only be formed by a tier 7 medicinal pill! Only a tier 7 medicinal pill can be formed. The denser the pill fragrance, the stronger the medicinal effect of the medicinal pill. Looking at this pill fragrance, this medicinal pill is definitely a top grade medicinal pill among the tier 7 medicinal pills! "
As the pill fragrance spread, everyone was once again attracted by the medicinal pill competition from five days ago. There were also people among them who shouted loudly.
"From the looks of it now, the outcome of this medicinal pill competition is about to be revealed. If anyone were to go now and satisfy young master Xu, they might even be able to obtain a tier 7 medicinal pill that he will personally bestow upon them!"
Once these words were uttered, everyone was encouraged. A tier 7 medicinal pill was a divine pill that they did not even dare to dream of. Now that they had the opportunity to obtain it for free, everyone would naturally not let it go so easily. Immediately, a large group of people swiftly rushed toward the arena where Xiao Yan was located.
In just a moment, the arena, which was still empty an hour ago, was immediately covered by countless number of people. The sky and the ground were completely surrounded until not even a drop of water could pass through.
Even the elite Dou Huangs were like cabbages that filled the sky at this moment.
Immediately, there were people who noticed Xiao Yan, who was standing between Mu Ling and Xiao Yan. Once they saw Xiao Yan, the turbulent human flow let out a cold snort. There was even a Secondary Dou Huang who opened his mouth and cried out.
"Where did this brat come from? Doesn't he know that young master Xu is refining a pill? All of us are standing outside the arena in accordance with the rules. What right do you have to stand in the middle? Get out here and don't disturb young master Xu's pill refinement! "
Before his rough voice sounded, that Dou Huang had already moved and grabbed at Xiao Yan.
He did not wish for the tier 7 medicinal pill that he had bitterly waited for to fall into the hands of others. At this moment, when he saw that Xiao Yan was actually standing between the two of them, a scheme immediately appeared in his heart.
At this moment, he had moved to grab Xiao Yan. Firstly, he wanted to show off in front of Xu Zhen. Secondly, he wanted to establish his might and let everyone see his strength. From there, he would be able to stand in a safe place.
His body moved and a powerful aura at the peak of the Dou Huang class suddenly swept out, causing the countless number of people to tremble. It was unexpected that this person's strength was actually this frightening. It was likely that they would not have a chance.
This thought had just surfaced in everyone's hearts when a cold snort that carried an unparalleled pressure was suddenly transmitted over.
"Hmph! You are merely at the peak of the Dou Huang class, yet you actually dare to be this bold. Get lost. There is no place for you in this place today. "
As this cold snort was emitted, the Dou Huang, who was charging explosively toward Xiao Yan, suddenly flew out from the air like a cannonball that had been shot. Everyone present was once again shocked. The person who had come was actually an elite Dou Zong!
Before everyone could react, that voice once again turned toward Xiao Yan. The calm old voice contained an overbearing feeling that could not be defied.
"Brat, the old me has saved your life just now and can be considered to have done you a favor. The old me does not need you to repay anything. You should leave on your own. This place is not suitable for you."
Everyone present instantly reacted when these words were uttered. This old man was actually relying on his seniority to directly chase someone away!
In an instant, everyone present sighed at this old man. He's already a senior, yet he's still so shameless. He's really living like a dog!
Xiao Yan's expression was slightly startled when he heard this. Immediately, the corner of his mouth was involuntarily lifted into a cold smile. His tone was indifferent as he replied.
"You saved me? Ke ke, did I ask you to save me? You are merely meddling in other people's business. "
"Bang!"
Everyone present was immediately startled when these words were uttered. Did this brat not know that the person he was facing was a true elite Dou Zong?
The fury within the elite Dou Zong's heart soared when he heard this. Xiao Yan's rude words caused him to feel a wave of humiliation in his heart. Even though this was the case, he was not stupid in his heart. His tone was soft and deep as he asked Xiao Yan.
"May I know which Elder of the Xu clan descendant you are? The old me was once on good terms with a couple of Elders of the Xu clan. The old me might even be acquainted with your Elder."
Xiao Yan smiled. The ridicule on his face gradually became denser as he replied with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I am not a member of the Xu clan. Additionally, you do not have the qualification to be acquainted with my Elder."
"Bang!"
Before Xiao Yan's voice sounded, the powerful pressure that belonged to an elite Dou Zong pressed toward Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan acted as though it was nothing. His body still did not move. His gaze continued to look at the medicinal pill that was about to be finished within Mu Ling's medicinal cauldron. His expression was calm.
"Huh?"
The old man softly acknowledged. Immediately, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold. He let out a cold snort and opened his mouth to let out a cold cry.
"Bold young fellow. Pretending to be mysterious. Come over here! Today, the old me will represent your Elder to properly teach you a lesson. I will let you know how to face your Elder! "
Before his voice sounded, the old man's body suddenly appeared in midair. His body flashed and he had already appeared beside Xiao Yan. His steel-like hand was extended and grabbed toward Xiao Yan's shoulder. Xiao Yan's face was covered in blood.
At this moment, a coldness was revealed on Xiao Yan's indifferent face. A somewhat icy calm voice was once again emitted.
"I have said that you are not qualified to be acquainted with my Elder and represent them. You are even less qualified!"
"Bang!"
These words had just sounded when that elite Dou Zong suddenly burst apart, transforming into nothingness. Even his blood did not remain.
In an instant, the entire place was silent. Even Xu Zhen and Mu Ling, who had placed all their attention into the medicinal cauldron, felt their hearts tremble. The Dou Qi within their bodies instantly became sluggish. Their entire bodies paused for a moment at this moment. The gazes that they used to look at Xiao Yan were replaced by fear …
