  At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan was the real ace of this petition!

  Everyone had been drawn to the potential dispyed by Liu Ling and the Little Princess, causing them to momentarily fet that Xiao Yan was already a 4th-tier alchemist!

  All eyes turoward Xiao Yan's medial cauldron. Iwo snow-white medial pills had already formed. It could be said that the pill densation was plete.

  "This brat, such a crucial time and still wants to refiwo pills ich! If anything goes wrong, both pills will be ruined."

  Hai Bodong was exasperated with Xiao Yan. At a time like this, wouldn't it be better to focus on refining a single pill properly?

  Fa Ma's eyelids twitched violently. Due to the uure of the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill, refining two pills ich wasn't merely a matter of saving medial ingredients; it effectively doubled the difficulty.

  "Has he pleted the refi?"

  "But why is there no medial fragrance? Could it be just a tier 3 pill?!"

  Just as everyone uzzled by the ck of any phenomee Xiao Yan's pills having taken shape, Fa Ma said with a solemn expression, "The true challenge of the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill isn't in the refi of ingredients or the pill densation."

  "The real difficulty lies in f the pill lines with fmes after the pill has taken shape!"

  Xiao Yan even had the leisure to turn his head and look in Yan Li's dire. Yan Li, who had been ughing maniacally just moments ago, now had bloodshot eyes as he stared ily at his medial cauldron.

  Because he had realized what kind of pill Xiao Yan was refining!

  "Impossible! The 'Three-Lined' Green Spirit Pill requires three kinds of fmes, and the level of fire trol needed surpasses that of a 5th-tier alchemist. Refining two pills simultaneously is even more impossible! You 't possibly produce a gehree-Lined Green Spirit Pill!!" Yan Li roared hoarsely. He couldn't and refused to believe it.

  If the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill was hailed as the most reier 4 pill of the Chu Yun Empire, thehree-Lined Green Spirit Pill was undoubtedly the most legendary pill of the Jia Ma Empire.

  It recisely with the recipe for the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill that Fa Ma became the Chairman of the Alchemist Association.

  The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, a peak tier 4 medial pill, was simir to the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill in that they could both directly increase one's strength. However, its effect was limited to those at the Dou Grandmaster realm. If someone of that realm ed a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, they could not only increase their strength by oar but, most importantly, they could e two of these pills in succession.

  In other words, as long as one could obtain two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, one could steadily increase one's strength by two stars in one fell swoop.

  "Then open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"

  Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his Dou Qi cirg frantically within his body. His eyes sharpened as he suddenly smmed both palms onto the medial cauldron.

  Whoooosh!!!!! The sed, terrifying fmes gushed out from the medial cauldron!

  Three differently colored fmes untrolbly erupted from the cauldron's opening, spreading in all dires!

  "Three kinds of fmes?!!"

  "Oh my heavens, he really has three kinds of fmes!!"

  "trolling three kinds of fmes simultaneously!!" Fa Ma's eyes widened in shock, because this was not the method used to refihe Three Lines Green Spirit Pill.

  The 'Three-Lined' Green Spirit Pill required three kinds of fmes, with the switg between fmes being particurly critical. If the switch was too slow, the pill's temperature would drop, causing the lio fail to form; if too fast, the pill would be directly scorched into charcoal. The trol over the fmes had to rea exceedingly stri level.

  As for Xiao Yan's method of simultaneously using three kinds of fmes to form the lines, Fa Ma had sidered it before, but only in theory.

  Because it was simply impossible to achieve in practice.

  Using three kinds of fmes in succession and trolling three kinds of fmes simultaneously were entirely different cepts. Fa Ma could gee ordinary Dou Qi fmes with his own Dou Qi, then produother fme from the fire seed within his body, and finally use other methods to pre-pce a fme into the medial cauldron, a process known as 'borrowing fire.'

  Only in this way could he possess three kinds of fmes to refihe Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill.

  Now, the fact that Xiao Yan was trolling three kinds of fmes simultaneously meant that he had three kinds of fmes coexisting within his body!! How was that even possible? It should have caused his body to explode!!!

  But Fme Mantra had turhe impossible into reality!

  Last night, after obtaining the recipe for the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill, Xiao Yan immediately discovered that Fa Ma's creation had fws.

  Switg between fmes was extremely proo errors, so he modified the method.

  Boom boom boom boom boom!!! The three kinds of fmes wildly expanded outward, their seari giving rise to a t fire tornado that swept across the entire pza.

  "Retreat!!"

  "Holy hell! Are you refining pills to kill us!"

  The terrifying fire tornado forced everyone nearby to retreat; even Fa Ma had no choice but to step back.

  In the VIP seats, Ya Fei stood up nervously, her delicate face pale, her captivating eyes brimming with worry.

  "Don't worry. With his strength, this se 't harm him," Nan Yanran said calmly, her beautiful eyes watg the terrifying fming tornado in the arena.

  At this moment, ihe medial cauldron, the snow-white pills seemed like a vast o with three dragons swimming across their surfabsp;Bck, red, and greehree pill lines were like three dragons peting for the 'dragon pearl.'

  Whehree lines fully appeared, a smile tugged at the er of Xiao Yan's mouth as he retracted all the fmes. The moment all the fmes vanished, an inparably dense medial mist emerged from the cauldron.

  The white, smoke-like medial mist was imbued with three distinct colors!

  "Colored medial mist as well!!"

  Fa Ma nearly leapt up in unbridled excitement when he saw the twon-eye-sized Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills floating within the cauldron.

  "Success!"

  "It's a peak Tier 4 Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill!! He refi entirely on his own!"

  "Hahaha, well done, Xiao Yan, excellent!" Fa Ma finally couldn't tain his excitement and ughed aloud.

  "Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill?!" The words echoed in Yan Li's ears like thunder, exploding violently within his mind. His once smug and pt expression instantly turned ashen.

  "Impossible! How aeen-year-old brat possibly refine a peak tier 4 pill! You must have cheated; this repared in advance!" Yan Li roared with bloodshot eyes.

  Fa Ma sneered coldly, "Hmph, you're also a 4th-tier alchemist. Don't you know whether Xiao Yan refihis on the spot or not?"

  Seeing the surrounding gazes filled with cold ridicule and disdain, Yan Li knew he absolutely couldn't admit defeat. The moment he aowledged his loss, his life would be forfeit in the Jia Ma Empire!

  "Hmph, so what if he mao refihe Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill? Both the Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill and the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill are peak tier 4 pills. Although the Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill indeed increase one's strength by three stars, it's ultimately a risky gamble. If it fails, one's cultivation may even regress by two stars. In trast, the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is guarao increase strength by oar and be used twice! The Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill may not necessarily be superior to the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill." Yan Li's voice, infused with Dou Qi, echoed throughout the entire pza.

  A buzz of heated discussion rose from the spectator stands upon hearing his words.

  "He does have a point. If it were me, I would not necessarily gamble on those three stars. It would be a huge loss if the refi failed and my cultivatiressed. With two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, I could steadily increase my strength by two stars without any risk."

  "That's not necessarily the case. I would defiake the risk. While the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill indeed be used twice, you might not be able to obtain two of them. And two pills are bound to be more expehan a single one."

  The pza was instantly abuzz with discussions.

  Fa Ma's eyes turned cold. He wanted nothing more than to kill this imbecile right then and there.

  "Don't fet, Xiao Yan refiwo pills ich," even Liu Ling couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Xiao Yan.

  "Exactly! He refiwo pills in one go, doubling the difficulty pared to yours," the Little Princess sneered. How did this guy still have the gall tue?

  "Hmph, you never mentioned anything about refining two pills ich at the beginning of the petition. Your rules only stated that refining a single pill was required, with the winner determined by the pill's quality and grade." Yan Li stubbornly refused to admit defeat. He khat if he lost, his life would be unceremoniously snuffed out.

  Fa Ma narrowed his eyes and said, "Very well, since you're so unwilling to accept defeat, let's have someone verify the quality of the pills."

  Just as Yan Li was about to question the fairness of the judges and indefinitely dey things, Xiao Yan, who had been quietly the drama unfold beside his medial cauldron, rubbed his cheek and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um, sorry to interrupt."

  At the sound of Xiao Yan's voice, all the alchemists snapped out of their heated argument and turo look at him.

  "What's the matter, Xiao Yan?"

  Xiao Yaended a single finger and poioward the sky.

  Seeing his gesture, everyone instinctively raised their heads to gaze upward.

  !!!!!!!!!!

  "This is...!!!"

  A slight smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face, his calm voice eg throughout the pza: "I don't like winning by just a little in petitions. If I'm going to win, I want it to be an absolute, undisputed triumph."

  The extraordinarily dehree-colored medial fragrance emanating from the 'Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill' lingered in the sky, coalesg into a cloud of mist that refused to dissipate! It was even produg tangible energy ripples in the air!!

  "Colored medial fragraning clouds!! Could this be... a tier 5 medial pill??!!!"

  Xiao Yan took out a wooden box and pced the pills inside. He looked at Yan Li, whose face had drastically ged, and said, "Who told you I was refining the Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill?"

  "The reason it's called the 'Green Spirit Pill' is because the base color of the pill is green. Now, tell me, is the base color of my pill green?"

  Only then did Fa Ma suddenly realize that the base color of Xiao Yan's pill was white!!

  "Do yourself a favor and look carefully with those old, blurry eyes of yours. See how many lines are actually on this pill." Xiao Yan poio the topmost white yer of the pill. Only then did everyoice that the arra of the three visible pill lines was unusual. All three lines curved downward and weren't evenly distributed across the pill's surface.

  With Xiao Yan pointing it out, everyone used their Spiritual Strength to examihe pill. Only then did they abruptly discover that upon the white base was actually another faint, almost imperceptible white pill line!!!!

  It was just extremely difficult to dis with the naked eye because the base color was also white!

  "F-F-Four lines!!"

  Xiao Yan's lips twisted into a cruel smile as he fixed his gaze upon Yan Li and chuckled, "This is the Four Lines White Spirit Pill, a tier 5 medial pill, you dumbass."
