The resplendent light pillar suddenly soared into the sky. Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the city, it directly penetrated the enormous formation that covered the sky above Jinyao City and entered the thunder clouds.
"What … what is this?"
Immediately, everyone present was stunned. Their eyes suddenly looked at what was happening in the pavilion. This scene was really unbelievable. It was merely the refinement of a medicinal pill. Yet, it actually caused such a huge commotion. This was a little too exaggerated.
While everyone in the air was secretly shocked, Xiao Yan was currently focusing all his attention on the medicinal pill in front of him. The little remaining Spiritual Strength between his brows crazily surged out and gathered around the 'Awakening Pill'. Under Xiao Yan's control, the 'Heavenly Flame' surged into the medicinal pill in front of him. Using a special method, the original quality of the medicinal pill was once again raised. The medicinal strength that had yet to be perfectly merged within the medicinal pill was once again merged.
Xiao Yan maintained this state for nearly ten minutes. At the same time, the strange and beautiful light pillar that appeared in front of everyone's eyes also lasted for ten minutes. Finally, the moment Xiao Yan withdrew his finger, the light pillar that reached the sky also instantly scattered.
With the help of the Pill Melting Ring, Xiao Yan easily retrieved the medicinal pill. After which, he once again hurriedly sat down. With a flip of his hand, he swallowed a large amount of medicinal pills without any hesitation. With the help of the 'Heavenly Flame', he wildly refined them.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was well aware of the situation in the outside world. All of this was within his expectations. Hence, recovering his original condition had become Xiao Yan's top priority. As for the Pill Lightning and those fellows outside, he would temporarily leave them to the Northern King to deal with. He would make a decision after he had recovered some of his strength.
In the outside world, Cheng Zhihui's expression was gloomy as he stared at the pavilion in front of him. He was just about to move when his ears emitted a rumbling sound of thunder.
"Rumble …"
"Association head Cheng, should we attack now?"
Behind him, a person asked doubtfully.
"No, let's not attack now. Since the Pill Lightning has already formed, it means that this fellow has already finished refining the rank 4 medicinal pill. In that case, why don't we wait a little longer and wait for him to endure the Pill Lightning? At that time, this fellow will definitely be exhausted. When we attack, not only will we be able to finish him off, we will also be able to take back the medicinal pill!"
Although they did not have a good impression of an alchemist, the value of the medicinal pill caused them to be even more moved. This time around, Cheng Zhihui's goal was not just to challenge the dignity of the array master in Jinyao City, but also to obtain the rank 4 medicinal pill!
Upon hearing Cheng Zhihui's words, a sinister smile appeared on the face of the person behind him. Immediately after, his gaze landed on the pavilion in the middle of the square. He was curious as to what kind of person would dare to refine pills in Jinyao City.
"Rumble!"
The rumbling sound of thunder resounded across the sky. Everyone in the sky stood at their original spots as though they had already agreed. Their eyes stared at the pavilion where Xiao Yan was located, as though they were waiting for the Pill Lightning to descend.
Han Dong, who was wearing a black robe, was standing at a certain spot within the crowd. At this moment, the latter's eyebrows were tightly knitted as he stared at the pavilion. There seemed to be a faintly familiar aura at that spot. However, he was unable to truly identify it. There seemed to be a layer of gauze surrounding that aura that covered most of that person's aura. Even though he was a rank 5 alchemist, he was still unable to easily break through the obstruction of that barrier.
Perhaps it was because of the owner of that aura, or perhaps it was because the other party was an alchemist, but at this moment, Han Dong's heart actually had an unknown worry for this person. With regards to this point, even Han Dong himself was unable to explain why.
On the other side, a young man wearing a white embroidered robe and a tall old man behind him were also staring intently at the pavilion where Xiao Yan was located.
These two people were naturally Qin Yun and Yan He, whom Xiao Yan had met once outside of Jinyao City.
Given the former's character, he had naturally guessed the identity of this mysterious alchemist long ago. However, the thing that caused him to be surprised was that Xiao Yan was only a rank 3 alchemist, yet he was actually able to refine a rank 4 medicinal pill. This was somewhat unimaginable.
However, just as everyone present had different thoughts in their hearts, the thunder clouds in the sky no longer waited. After a deafening rumbling sound of thunder, an enormous thunderbolt carried a terrifying aura that could destroy the world as it ruthlessly smashed towards the pavilion where Xiao Yan was located.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the sky tightened. There was anticipation, cold laughter, greed, pity, and at the same time, worry.
Seeing that the enormous thunderbolt was about to descend, Han Dong and Qin Yun in the crowd quietly circulated the Dou Qi within their bodies. They would immediately intervene should the situation not be within their expectations.
However, just as the thunderbolt was about to descend and Han Dong and Qin Yun were prepared to intervene, the thunderbolt emitted a 'bang' and heavily collided with the enormous formation in the sky above Jinyao City.
The frightening strength suddenly poured down and the expressions of everyone present instantly became dull. Only then did they recover. They had been anticipating that something would happen to Xiao Yan, but they seemed to have forgotten that there was an enormous formation in the sky above Jinyao City that was constantly protecting it. At this moment, when the Pill Lightning descended, the formation naturally performed its duty and forcefully blocked the first attack of the Pill Lightning.
"Ugh …"
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the dozens of factions in the city or the members of the Array Master Association, the expressions on their faces were extremely interesting. This was especially the case for the members of the Array Master Association. Their faces were green. It was unexpected that the large formation that was originally used to protect Jinyao City would actually help this mysterious alchemist block the Pill Lightning. This caused the members of the Array Master Association, who had always viewed alchemists as enemies, to feel extremely embarrassed.
However, following the scattering of the first Pill Lightning, the formation in the sky also gradually disappeared. It was not difficult to tell that someone had purposely scattered the formation to allow the Pill Lightning to descend.
Qin Yun, who was in the crowd, narrowed his eyes when he saw the large formation disappear. A mocking smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. Immediately, he turned his eyes and once again looked at the thunder clouds in the sky.
Although the formation had helped Xiao Yan break the first Pill Lightning, what followed next was only the beginning.
Qin Yun coldly laughed in his heart. The instant his eyes fell, he suddenly saw the invisible space above the building where Xiao Yan was located slowly distort. A burly purple-gold figure slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
From the looks of this figure, who else could it be other than the Northern King?
