Chapter 134: Exquisite Fire Control Technique

According to the process, the elixir needs to be tested. This time, the Alchemist Guild was extremely well prepared. There was a secret in the bluestone platform for refining the elixir. After a series of tests, as expected, Xiao Yan's elixir quality was indeed far ahead.

Xiao Yuan, Yao Lao and Hai Bodong all found this to be not unexpected.

In terms of accumulated experience in alchemy, Xiao Yan's three years of accumulation is indeed not as good as Liu Ling and the little princess' more than ten years of accumulation, but in terms of talent, the level of the teacher, and the flame used for alchemy, Xiao Yan is really far ahead.

In this way, it is natural that the pills will be made faster and of higher quality.

However, this performance shocked the rest of the people.

The mere fact that he had the strange fire astonished some people, and the calm and smooth refining process also amazed those who knew the business.

Even Fa Ma was extremely surprised. After all, something like Strange Fire was not something that ordinary people could obtain. Some time ago, he had just received news that Gu He had gathered people to go to the Tagor Desert to look for Strange Fire, but still had not achieved any results. Now, the green flame in Xiao Yan's hand was clearly Strange Fire. It could be seen that this little guy's talent and opportunity, as well as the power hidden behind him, were not simple!

But then, Fa Ma's face suddenly changed slightly, and he uttered a light exclamation. His eyes swept across the huge square and finally stopped at a remote corner. There, a figure wrapped in a gray robe was slowly putting the pill in his hand into the testing machine.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Fa Ma's reaction, Jia Lao was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.

"That guy..." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his turbid eyes. Fa Ma tapped the guardrail lightly with his fingers and whispered, "That guy seems a bit strong..."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong and Jia Lao were both a little surprised. Their eyes instantly focused on the gray-robed man. Then they frowned and asked in confusion, "Didn't you notice anything wrong?"

"You are not alchemists, so your perception of soul power is not very clear, but in my perception, that guy's soul power is probably much stronger than Liu Ling, Yue'er, and even Xiao Yan. In the square below, his soul power should be the strongest. I remember that when Gu He participated in the Alchemist Conference, his soul power was not as strong as his..."

Shaking his head, Fa Ma frowned and stared at the bottom. A moment later, a bright green beam of light suddenly shot out from the stone platform in front of the gray-robed man. Its brightness was almost the same as Xiao Yan's.

The sudden green light almost instantly attracted the attention of people on the square. When everyone saw that the person who created such a beam of light was actually a gray-robed man huddled in a remote corner, they all couldn't help but wonder. His face was filled with astonishment.

The sudden appearance of the strong green light also attracted the attention of Xiao Yan and the other two. Looking at the green light that was almost as bright as his own and just surpassed Liu Ling and the little princess, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Teacher, this person, is there something wrong?"

In the stands, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice in his heart.

"Well, looking at his soul fluctuations, hehe, he is not young at all, at least in his forties. He must have used some tricks to deceive the review of the conference. His soul power is not weak, at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist. The soul power of you and Xiao Yan is much weaker than his."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao responded with a smile.

But obviously, he was not worried about this matter, and he had great confidence in his disciples.

With his experienced eyes, he could tell at a glance that this person forged his identity to attend the conference in order to win the championship with his strength far exceeding that of these young players. As for why he wanted to win the championship, Yao Lao didn't care, because the championship must belong to Xiao Yan.

"Haha, I guess President Fa Ma and the others will be the first to get restless, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan also smiled for the fun of watching the incident. Anyway, he knew that Xiao Yan would definitely win, so Xiao Yuan just treated this young alchemist disguised as an old man from the Izumo Empire as a clown.

As for Ya Fei who was standing aside, to be honest, she knew nothing about refining medicine, so after watching for a while, she really felt sleepy and was now sleeping on Xiao Yuan's shoulder.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Fa Ma and found that they were indeed busy. They were probably looking for information about this unexpected person.

The Izumo Empire didn't know what happened to the Little Doctor after they parted that day.
Xiao Yuan's thoughts were flying in his mind, and he recalled the days in the Warcraft Mountains.

Then he naturally thought of Yun Yun, until Hai Bodong spoke, he came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about, kid? Why are you so obsessed?"

Hai Bodong glanced at Yafei, who had opened her eyes and blinked blankly, and then asked Xiao Yuan helplessly.

Based on his experience, he suspected that Xiao Yuan was thinking about women.

"Uh, nothing. Hai Lao suddenly called me. Is there something wrong?"

It was naturally impossible for Xiao Yuan to mention another woman in front of Hai Bodong and Ya Fei, so he asked with a smile.

"Hey, something went wrong, so I'll take this opportunity to test you!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong raised his lips in a strange arc, and then pointed at the gray-robed man below and whispered:

"Fama suspects that the guy below has a strange identity, but his face is hidden under his hat, so it's hard to judge. So, I need you to control the cold current and freeze the guy's hat into powder silently. How about it, is it okay?"

Listening to Hai Bodong's tone, which seemed to be a discussion but was actually an order, Xiao Yuan shrugged helplessly and said:

"Control the cold current? It's possible, but it's easy to be exposed. Let's try another method."

Upon hearing this, not only Hai Bodong was stunned, but Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma, who were watching the situation from the side, also became interested.

What is this kid going to do?
Xiao Yuan did not elaborate, but silently released a stream of wind-attributed Dou Qi, mixed with a wisp of strange fire, allowing it to float down along the breeze and enter the gray-robed man's medicine cauldron silently.

The next moment, the wind-attributed Dou Qi turned back into wood-attributed Dou Qi, directly catalyzing the strange fire within it, which rushed out of the medicine cauldron and ignited the robe of the gray-robed man who was bending over to clean the table.

boom!
Although the gray-robed man reacted very quickly, his clothes were still burned to tatters by the terrifying high temperature of the strange fire, and the hat was naturally burned to ashes as well.

Without Xiao Yuan's fighting spirit to support it, the strange fire naturally dissipated. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed as if it had been extinguished in time by the gray-robed man himself.

"Hmm? My dear, you have an exquisite way of controlling fire!"

Seeing this scene, Fa Ma couldn't help but sigh, and he addressed Xiao Yuan with a little more respect.

"Haha, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and cupped his hands, but he was quite excited. This just now gave him a wonderful feeling.

When he is promoted to Dou Wang, and the Dou Qi of the five Qi Palaces can truly flow freely, I am afraid that when fighting against the enemy, the external Dou Qi can also be transformed in attributes. This is definitely a magic weapon for achieving a surprise victory!
The five types of attributes represented by the five elements almost cover the vast majority of attributes in this world. In other words, in terms of the attribute restraint of fighting spirit, Xiao Yuan was already invincible from the very beginning.

But then, there was an uproar in the venue. It turned out that the guy whose clothes became tattered after his hat disappeared was actually a teenager under 20 years old. He looked even younger than Xiao Yan.

However, Xiao Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this young man.

Because at this moment, the young man was staring with his blue eyes, casting a cold gaze at Xiao Yan, who was also looking at him with a look of surprise.

"puff!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and then covered his mouth.

This guy's soul perception is quite good and he detected the fluctuations of the strange fire.

But he didn't know that Xiao Yuan also possessed a strange fire, and he actually began to suspect Xiao Yan on the stage.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the VIP seats, looking at Fa Ma and the others with a cold smile, his lips moving slightly. Based on the shape of his mouth, Fa Ma and the others could clearly discern what he was saying: "I want to be the champion of this conference!"

"Tsk, there really is something wrong. If this guy is really seventeen years old, I'm going to eat this railing!"

Hai Bodong said with a sneer.

"Well, although it's not obvious that he's disguised, this person's age is definitely not as simple as it seems. Besides, disguise is not the only way to make one's face look like this... As an alchemist, you should know better than us that some strange herbs or pills... should have this kind of strange effect!"

Jia Xingtian also said to Fa Ma who was standing beside him.

"There are indeed some strange pills that can make a person look younger, but those pills are extremely rare and difficult to refine... But if someone really gets them, unless he admits his age, I'm afraid it will be difficult for outsiders to tell..."

Fa Ma nodded and pondered.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's face looked a little strange. He suddenly began to like the fighting skills of the Soul Palace. After all, the Soul Palace had a way to directly pull a person's soul out of the body, which was just right for this situation.

After all, elixirs can change one's appearance, but they cannot change one's soul.

Xiao Yuan was full of thoughts, while Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian on the other side were quite helpless. In the current situation, they didn't have any better ideas and could only count on their own seeded players to fight for it!
However, Hai Bodong grinned with some confidence. Knowing Xiao Yan's "strength", he was not worried about this competition at all.

As an alchemist who can refine sixth-grade elixirs, isn't it easy for him to control a fourth-grade alchemist?

After a while, the conference continued and the second assessment began.

This time, he was going to refine a third-grade elixir, the Wind-moving Pill. Its effect was to make the person who took it sensitive to the wind energy between heaven and earth for a short period of time, thereby increasing his movement speed.

This may be of some use to ordinary people, but to Xiao Yuan, it is purely useless.

Therefore, he was not very interested in this elixir, but he was quite confident about Xiao Yan and others' alchemy skills.

From a technical point of view, Xiao Yan's method is indeed the best one. After all, although Yao Lao was an abandoned person of the Yao Clan, the alchemy technique he learned was still the alchemy technique of the Yao Clan. In addition, he later learned from Xiao Danta. Compared with the exquisiteness of his alchemy technique, it is enough to be called top-level even if you look at the entire continent.

However, when it comes to refining medicine, everyone has their own habits, and Xiao Yan is no exception.

However, there are still some subtle differences in the techniques between him and Yao Lao.

As for the little princess and Liu Ling, they were also top alchemists who learned from the Jia Ma Empire. Their techniques were quite sophisticated and their proficiency was obviously higher than Xiao Yan's.

The grey-robed man was interesting; his technique was weaker than that of Xiao Yan and the other two, but his proficiency was visibly higher. This was why Fa Ma and the others could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with him. It would be difficult for a seventeen-year-old boy to reach such a level even if he had been learning alchemy since he was a baby.

Especially in a place like the Izumo Empire where poison masters are rampant, it is even more impossible to cultivate an alchemist of this level.

But watching these people refine medicine also benefited Xiao Yuan a lot.

As the saying goes, among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher.

Under the premise that his own talent is not yet fully suitable for alchemy, the difficulty of Xiao Yuan's alchemy every time makes people feel despair.

If Xiao Yuan had not known Yao Lao's strength and believed in his judgment on alchemy, he would probably not have been able to persist in failing again and again.

After all, every failure means burning medicinal materials and gold coins.

Although the medicinal herbs and gold coins were actually nothing to Xiao Yuan, who now had the support of the Mittel family, as a person who had been poor, Xiao Yuan really felt sorry for the medicinal herbs that he had wasted.

After glancing at the herbs below, Xiao Yuan frowned as he looked at Xiao Yan, who had a puzzled look on his face but was still refining the pill.

There are a total of nine kinds of medicinal ingredients in this prescription, but judging from the medicinal properties, one of the herbs obviously should not be in this prescription.

Wind-moving Pill, the ultimate purpose is to speed up movement speed.

However, among these nine medicinal herbs, Hou Tu Zhi has the effect of strengthening defense, slowing down the speed of human fighting spirit, and suppressing the runaway of fighting spirit.

This medicinal property is obviously completely opposite to the Fengxing Pill, which is more light and agile.

Xiao Yan suffered less and did not suspect that there was anything wrong with the prescription.

Xiao Yuan was able to notice this. After all, he still had the memories of his previous life and had some knowledge of medicine. When he was learning alchemy, he made analogies and discovered that the two worlds still had similarities in the compatibility of prescriptions.

With this kind of thinking, it is easy to develop corresponding logical thinking when learning alchemy, studying the medicinal properties and the composition of prescriptions.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan could tell at a glance that this prescription was wrong!
