The seven flames, consisting of one Holy Flame and six types of Divine Flames, created a shocking spectacle that assaulted everyone’s eyes. However, many of the onlookers felt like An Lin was only doing this to show off.
Using these many types of flames to refine pills was simply impossible.
It would require god-like flame control in order to coordinate all seven types of flames at once.
Not only would the Pill Tower elders be unable to accomplish something like this, but even the Pill Sage might not be up to the task!
However, under the incredulous gazes of hundreds of thousands of onlookers, the seven flames moved at once… An Lin manipulated all the high-rank spirit medicines with one hand while controlling the seven different types of flames with the other.
The seven completely different, yet extremely powerful flames danced at his fingertips like obedient fairies. The flames coordinated perfectly to extract the essence of the medicinal ingredients.
“This… How is this possible?!” The flaming humanoid elder slapped the table before abruptly getting to its feet with incredulity etched on its face.
A mummy elder wrapped in purple bandages rubbed its crimson eyes in complete and utter disbelief. “This doesn’t make sense… How is he able to do something like this?”
“To be able to control seven different types of high-level flames so exquisitely and precisely, just how much flame control ability is required to do something like this?” the four-armed ape elder exclaimed after taking a deep breath.
Among all pill refinement masters, it was already considered extremely impressive to be able to expertly control one type of Divine Flame.
Controlling two types of Divine Flames at once was no longer just a case of double the difficulty. One had to consider whether these flames were going to come into conflict with one another as well as how to coordinate them in order to create harmony between their attributes and temperatures. Thus, even controlling two types of flames was exponentially more difficult than controlling one type.
Using seven different types of flames at once… The difficulty involved was unimaginable!
Even all the elders were completely shocked, let alone all the spectators in the stands.
All of them were staring blankly at the scenes unfolding before their eyes, as if they had seen something extremely bizarre and difficult to believe.
An Lin was definitely the most freakish pill refinement master they had ever seen!
Grey was just about to get up when he knelt down again upon seeing this…
The essence of the Ice Spirit Herb was extracted by the Setting Moon Flame, creating an ice crystal that shimmered within the cauldron. The outer shell of the Round Iron Lotus was stripped away layer by layer by the Heavenly Void Flame, thus revealing the black lotus flower within. The white Holy Flame pushed the ice crystal toward the lotus flower to give rise to something new…
Aside from that, all the Divine Flames had their own respective roles as they pounced onto one medicinal ingredient after another before extracting and fusing the essence of the ingredients. Each procedure was completed flawlessly without any mistakes.
The Pill Sage’s hands trembled as he stood at the top of the Pill Tower while overlooking the extraordinary display of pill refinement process that was taking place below. He really wanted to charge down there directly, but he repressed the urge to do so in the end.
A faint sigh escaped from his lips. “So terrifying… My daughter can rest easy knowing she was beaten by someone like this.”
Despair suddenly began to well up in Fanny’s heart upon seeing An Lin’s extraordinary display.
This wasn’t some fucking Supreme Stage pill refinement grandmaster coming here to fool around with the kids, was it?
An Lin’s pill refinement skills made Fanny feel like an absolute noob. Furthermore, she was a noob that was intent on provoking the master.
Fanny was extremely depressed and just wanted this competition to be over as soon as possible. An Lin’s display was making her head throb.
Everything appeared to be such a joke now.
Her confidence had been completely crushed by the seven types of flames that An Lin summoned, as well as his expert control over all seven flames.
One hour later.
Boom!
An extremely powerful energy fluctuation erupted.
A golden pill appeared in the air. It was as dazzling as a star and exuded a bright sheen. Fanny had successfully refined a first-grade spirit pill!
A raucous round of applause and cheers erupted from the spectator stands.
And then, everyone immediately turned back to admire the An Lin show.
Fanny: “…”
If she had refined this first-grade spirit pill in any other edition of this competition, she would undoubtedly have become the most scintillating individual in the entire Pill City.
Her name would even spread throughout the entire Opposite Shore Realm as the number one pill refinement master among the younger generation. This was also a situation that she had envisioned many times in the past. However…
Her successful pill refinement had only been greeted by a smattering of polite, obligatory applause and cheering…
Why was the reality so different from her expectations…
“Puah!”
Fanny involuntarily threw up a mouthful of blood due to the aftereffect of using her mystic technique.
However, even so, no one turned to look at her with concern. All of them were far too busy looking at An Lin. You could throw up all the blood you wanted, but just make sure you were not interrupting the An Lin show…
Fanny felt extremely crushed, and she almost burst into tears.
After all, she was just a young woman twenty-five years of age.
“Are you alright, Fanny?” a voice suddenly sounded at this moment.
Fanny faltered slightly upon hearing this as a dumbstruck expression appeared on her face.
She turned to discover a familiar man looking at her.
Fanny’s lips twitched, and her eyes widened in shock as she clasped a hand over her chest. “You… Don’t you need to look when you’re refining pills?”
That’s right, the kind-hearted man who had inquired about her wellbeing was none other An Lin, who was still in the process of pill refinement!
An Lin shrugged with a nonchalant expression. “That’s alright, I’m just casually refining anyway, so I don’t need to pay any attention. Are you really ok?”
“Pfff…!” Fanny couldn’t help but throw up another large mouthful of blood.
“Do you have any regenerative spirit pills?” An Lin asked again with a concerned expression. “How about I give you some?”
Fanny was Xiao Ze’s future wife. As Xiao Ze’s master, he had to look out for her.
“I’m begging you… Please stop hurting me like this…” Fanny clasped her hands over her heart as tears flowed down her distraught face.
An Lin blinked in confusion. How was this his fault?
However, what he didn’t expect was the huge stir his actions created.
“My God! What am I witnessing? He can refine pills without even looking?”
“Could this be the legendary blind pill refinement technique?”
“How terrifying. Is the human a monster? How could he be so outstanding?”
“My outlook on life has been turned on its head countless times today, all because of the man named An Lin…”
…
Grey continued to kneel on the ground. He felt like he was just going to kneel for all of eternity.
“Grey, why are you kneeling while watching the competition?” Julia asked with a curious expression.
“An Lin is too outstanding. I can’t bring myself to stand in front of him.” Grey sobbed.
Julia: “…”
In reality, it didn’t make much difference whether An Lin looked at his pill refinement cauldron or not.
The vermilion bird was the one doing the pill refinement anyway, and it could see the pill refinement cauldron as well as control the flames using its divine sense, so that was enough!
An Lin’s hands continued to dance through the air for a while longer.
Finally, the most critical moment arrived.
“Condense!”
