279. Chapter 279: The Number One Prodigy, Gu Fei Is Worthy of the Title!

Next.

Following the commotion Gu Fei had stirred up.

Everyone in the arena felt shocked.

They saw Gu Fei raise his hand, and a ray of light flashed out from the center of his palm.

A small, short flame infant was quietly hovering above Gu Fei's palm.

The infant's body looked as if it were condensed from molten lava, every inch of its skin shimmering with brilliant flames, as if it contained the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

This little figure radiated a heart-palpitating high temperature from its entire body, momentarily making everyone present feel as if they were facing a miniature sun.

"Ying ying... ying ying!"

After Xiao Ying appeared, its gaze carried disdain, and those pink eyes swept contemptuously over the other three Exotic Fires in the sky.

It was as if it were saying that this level of power was nothing in its eyes!

"This is... an Exotic Flame Spirit?!"

Seeing Xiao Ying appear, the expressions of several top Alchemists in the entire plaza changed slightly; they gasped, flashes of uncertainty and shock appearing in their eyes.

For powerhouses of this level, the significance of an Exotic Flame Spirit was by no means simple.

As a legendary existence, possessing an Exotic Flame Spirit meant being able to completely control the power of an Exotic Fire, turning decay into magic, and reaching the ultimate realm of transcending the mundane and entering the sacred.

Moreover, this Exotic Flame Spirit was transformed from the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and also possessed purification abilities.

It would be no exaggeration to call it a cheat-like existence on the Dou Qi Continent.

"No way..."

"Young Master Gu Fei actually possesses that legendary Exotic Flame Spirit!"

Cao Ying revealed a look of surprise, her bright eyes flickering with a hint of envy. Let alone Cao Ying, everyone present, including several top-tier powerhouses, was probably drooling with envy right now. "Such a treasure should belong to my Soul Clan!"

Hun Xuzi could no longer hold back at this moment.

His expression was as gloomy as water, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. This guy's mind was probably constantly calculating how to snatch the Exotic Flame Spirit, Xiao Ying, away from Gu Fei. "I knew that when my husband made his move, he would definitely shock everyone in the arena!"

In the VIP seats, Xiao Yixian and Cai'er smiled at each other.

As Gu Fei's wives, they were also touched by a glimmer of radiance because of Gu Fei's brilliance, and were envied by others.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Ying followed Gu Fei's instructions.

The short, fiery little figure slowly opened its arms, its form seeming to expand slightly, and it spat out a burst of flames directly. The flames swirled in the air for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a massive fire cauldron over ten zhang tall.

At this level, ordinary alchemy cauldrons could no longer meet the requirements.

A fire cauldron condensed from Exotic Fire was the most suitable vessel!!

"This..."

"I simply cannot believe it, is this really the legendary Exotic Flame Spirit..."

"Honestly, this is my first time seeing this legendary existence with my own eyes."

"Sigh, comparing people is infuriating! Comparing goods, one just wants to throw them away."

At this moment, there was a constant buzz of discussion at the scene.

The next moment.

Four Exotic Fire cauldrons stood tall above the plaza, like four raging volcanoes.

Shennong Laoren, Yao Wangui, and Hun Xuzi each used their own methods to successively cast large amounts of medicinal materials into their fire cauldrons.

"Xiu xiu xiu..."

Wisps of strange smoke soon rose slowly from the four fire cauldrons.

The smoke swirled and intertwined in the air, eventually condensing into a bell-shaped smoke barrier. The entire space suddenly became misty and vaporous, as if one were in a dream.

Although this guy Hun Xuzi had a reputation among Alchemists that was basically ruined.

His alchemy attainments, however, were beyond doubt!

Back when he snuck into the Little Dan Tower to study, he had already displayed astonishing talent for alchemy.

Among his peers, very few could compare to him, and some were even surpassed by him.

"Hmph..."

On Yao Wanhuo's side, he was not to be outdone.

Various alchemy techniques were displayed.

In an instant, a scene of Hun Xuzi and Yao Wanhuo competing appeared on the field. At this moment, Shennong Laoren did not fall behind either, and was not a bit inferior to Hun Xuzi!

The four people's hand seals changed like flowing water, advancing layer by layer from simple to complex. The spectators at this moment held their breath, afraid that a single moment of carelessness would cause them to miss any brilliant detail.

"Young Master Gu Fei can actually refine over a thousand medicinal materials at once. It seems his soul power... has already surpassed mine!"

As a prodigy of the Yao Clan, Yao Ling felt a wave of emotion in his heart at this moment.

His tone revealed a bit of helplessness.

He was hailed as the Alchemist in the Yao Clan with the most hope of breaking through to the Emperor Realm Soul.

But only now did he realize that the gap between him and Gu Fei was truly too vast, like a chasm. Although the alchemy process seemed similar, a few tiny deviations could cause the entire pot of medicinal materials to be reduced to ashes! And the medicine produced would also be vastly different due to these tiny deviations! The methods the four were using at this moment truly opened the eyes of the Alchemists watching the battle, their greedy eyes staring tightly, afraid of missing any detail. This scene was a once-in-a-century event! "Power of Heaven and Earth, obey my command!"

A loud shout came from the scene. Hun Xuzi exerted his strength suddenly, his palm seals changing crazily, each gesture containing profound law-based power.

The surrounding energy of heaven and earth surged over like a tide, rushing crazily toward the fire cauldron in his hands.

Seeing this, Shennong Laoren, Yao Wanhuo, and even Gu Fei began to exert their strength.

Vast, sea-like energy was entirely swallowed by the fire cauldron transformed by Xiao Ying.

In front of Gu Fei, a terrifying suction field formed, absorbing the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.

"He is even plundering the power of heaven and earth..."

"What is happening?"

"Does this alchemy even require devouring the power of heaven and earth?"

"Damn, this is a real eye-opener."

At this moment, the expressions of the crowd changed drastically, and when they saw Gu Fei, Yao Wangui, and Shennong Laoren also begin to use the same method, they let out bursts of exclamations.

For a time, four enormous energy vortexes formed above the entire plaza, with the energy of heaven and earth swirling and circulating within them.

"Such a spectacular scene is only seen when refining a Nine-Rank Profound Pill!"

"I had long heard that refining a Nine-Rank Profound Pill requires devouring the power of heaven and earth; it seems this saying is true!"

Someone below the stage exclaimed directly. Looking again, Hun Xuzi narrowed his eyes and inadvertently swept a glance toward Gu Fei's side.

"This brat, does he want to refine a Nine-Rank Profound Pill at such a young age? He truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

A trace of surprise flashed in this fellow's eyes, and then he secretly sneered.

It was just that these words carried a hint of sourness. Although Hun Xuzi had long heard that Gu Fei was extraordinary.

But seeing such a scene with his own eyes, his heart still could not help but be greatly shocked.

He had always prided himself on being a genius Alchemist and knew deeply what refining a Nine-Rank Profound Pill meant.

Yet Gu Fei had already taken this step at such a young age! This kind of talent made a genius like Hun Xuzi feel deeply struck. (End of this chapter)
