Chapter 181: Challenging the Fifth Grade

"Little Yan, are you truly going to refine this Recovery Pill?" Yao Lao's words were still fresh in his mind.

The Recovery Pill, a Grade 5 primary medicinal pill, its function is to heal injuries on the human body.

And the reason Yao Lao tried to dissuade Xiao Yan was that Xiao Yan had attempted it many times, yet had never successfully refined a Recovery Pill.

Refining the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, losing was a defeat that still brought honor, after all, no one could have expected a Grade 5 Alchemist to suddenly emerge.

But refining the Recovery Pill carried a huge risk of failure; if he couldn't even refine the pill, he would lose face completely.

"Teacher, I will succeed!" Xiao Yan was giving Yao Lao confidence, and at the same time, he was psyching himself up.

He could not lose this Alchemist Grand Meeting!

"Sigh, what a stubborn little guy!" Yao Lao sighed from within the Ring.

However, he was becoming increasingly satisfied with the former; not every alchemist had the courage to take such a great risk.

And on the path of an Alchemist, this kind of daring is what is needed most; if one does not dare to pursue success, one cannot go far on this road.

Xiao Yan adjusted his state to the peak, then his Exotic Fire suddenly erupted, wrapping around each Medicinal Herb to begin refinement.

It must be said, just by that fluid, water-like refinement process, Xiao Yan attracted the gazes of a large group of people.

And Xiao Wu Yue was not to be outdone, his refinement speed was not a bit inferior, drawing exclamations from the crowd.

And this dragon-and-tiger-like competition also made the group of experts on the second floor sigh in admiration.

"That Yan Xiao truly has the possibility of refining a Grade 5 Medicinal Pill!" Fama knew just from Xiao Yan's skilled movements that Xiao Yan must have had contact with Grade 5 medicinal pill refinement.

Although he might not have succeeded before, at this moment, he already possessed the qualifications.

However...

Fama shifted his gaze again to the calm-looking Xiao Wu Yue; although the other party's movements were as rigid as a machine and lacked spirit, for some reason, he felt something strange from them.

This Grade 5 Alchemist's methods are truly bizarre!

And while everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the result of this match, two figures in the distance were watching the situation here from afar.

"A Grade 5 Alchemist under twenty years old, and this kid has been learning alchemy for less than two years, right? This kind of talent, even in the Central Plains, is a rare existence!" Xiao Yan's performance won Xiao Wu's praise.

Of course, when the other party said this, he had subconsciously filtered out a certain demoness from the Pill Tower.

If Xiao Yan was someone Heaven rewarded with food, that one was purely someone Heaven was feeding with a bowl.

Oh! Right, I seem to have heard that in the Dan Family, one of the Five Great Families of the Pill Tower, there is also a little girl whose soul is innately and exceptionally powerful, a rare alchemy genius!

"He hasn't refined it yet!" At this time, Xian'er struck a blow.

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu said somewhat awkwardly: "Isn't that just a matter of time!"

"Why, do you want to bring him into the Langya Pavilion in advance?" Xian'er asked from the side.

Although their Langya Pavilion's combat power was extremely strong, in terms of alchemists, they could only be said to be self-sufficient; they didn't have many alchemists with outstanding talent, and most relied on the accumulation of time.

And a genius like Xiao Yan, if he received the cultivation of the Langya Pavilion, would definitely be able to break through to an Eighth Grade Alchemist within ten years, and if the timing was right, perhaps he could even encounter the opportunity to participate in the Central Plains Pill Gathering.

"Let's forget about that!" Although Xiao Wu was tempted, he still had this much sense.

"Our Langya Pavilion cannot be exposed to the eyes of those guys right now."

He vaguely heard his teacher's wife mention that this child, Xiao Yan, seemed to be going to play a huge role and could not be easily approached.

Moreover, Xiao Wu understood even better in his heart that the person's teacher was the number one Alchemist on the continent, so how could he defect to their Langya Pavilion.

Isn't it better to be the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion!

"I hope this kid can keep growing!" Xiao Wu made his own wish.

Time passed bit by bit, and the time for the end of the match drew closer and closer; many contestants had already completed their medicinal pills.

Of course, there were also quite a few people who failed to refine their pills and lost the opportunity to continue due to time and material issues.

However, the people present did not care about these small episodes; their eyes were fixed on the five people in the center of the square, as those were the biggest favorites to win the championship.

And many experts placed more attention on Xiao Wu Yue and Xiao Yan; only those with sharp eyes and knowledge of the inside story would know the mystery within.

After another stick of incense passed, among the remaining five, two were finally about to finish.

Smelling the rich medicinal fragrance wafting from the Pill Cauldron, Xiao Gongzhu revealed a satisfied smile; now that the most dangerous step of pill formation had passed, as long as she maintained her state, this Four-Grade Pill would be successfully refined.

Today, Heaven was still favoring her, allowing her to successfully refine this pill with a very low success rate.

However, soon, the medicinal fragrance coming from not far away made her mood sink; after completing the step of collecting the pill, Xiao Gongzhu looked unhappily at Liu Ling, who was wearing a humble smile.

Unconvinced, she said: "This time, I'll let you off!"

From the medicinal fragrance between the two, one could clearly see that this time, Xiao Gongzhu was slightly inferior.

And after Liu Ling also successfully collected his pill, he cupped his hands toward Xiao Gongzhu and said quite apologetically: "Little Princess, you let me win!"

"Old Jia, it seems your girl can only settle for fifth place this time!" Hai Bodong teased.

"So what?" Jia Xingtian said indifferently, "That girl has displayed her highest level, and she has no regrets."

Jia Xingtian could only say that Xiao Gongzhu's strength was insufficient, and she was unlucky to run into such a group of monsters.

In past Alchemist Grand Meetings, it was the limit for one Fourth Grade Alchemist to appear, and this time, not to mention that Yan Li, an old fox, he's not worth mentioning!

And there's one Grade 5, one quasi-Grade 5, where is the logic in that?

It's just that, although he said he didn't care, in reality, Jia Xingtian's heart began to ache at the thought of Xiao Gongzhu causing trouble.

"Sigh! The palace is going to be in chaos for the next two days!"

"That Yan Li from the Chu Yun Empire should be about to succeed too, right?" At this time, Hai Bodong suddenly asked.

Seeing the gray-robed youth off-stage reveal a triumphant smile, Hai Bodong was very unhappy; to dare to cause trouble under the noses of old guys like them, he really didn't know how to live or die!

"Hmm!" As the only Alchemist present, Fama could be said to have quite a bit of say; just from the slightly purple-tinged medicinal fragrance of the other party, he could judge his grade.

"Moreover, that guy even has colored medicinal fragrance; to dare to come to our Alchemist Grand Meeting, this Yan Li really has some level."

"Colored medicinal fragrance?" Hai Bodong frowned. "What does that mean?"

"Medicinal Pill fragrance is divided into colored and colorless, and colored Medicinal Pill fragrance is basically the baseline for a Fourth Grade Peak Pill, and can even rival a Grade Five Medicinal Pill."

Although he kept saying how troublesome the other party was, Fama was not particularly worried.

Rivaling is always inferior to the real thing; there are still two people on the field refining Grade Five Medicinal Pills, and judging by the time, their success rates are likely not low, so where does this Fourth Grade Peak Pill come into the matter?

"Hm?" Just as Fama was thinking this, a surge of energy fluctuations suddenly erupted on the plaza.
