Chapter 692: Lotus of Destruction — Jiang Yan's Strange Actions

At this moment, seeing Tang Jingming's face full of pride, Yun Yangzi could not help but smile.

Having personally tutored his disciple for over ten years, he naturally knew what level the other's current attainments in the Dao of Alchemy had reached!

Therefore, he seemed to already be able to foresee the scene of his own disciple surpassing Zhou Yan.

"Old fellow, I'm now quite curious — once you learn that my disciple has surpassed your son, what will your reaction be?"

At the thought of his own disciple about to surpass his old rival's son, Yun Yangzi felt immense amusement.

However, just as both the Pill King Valley and the Profound Yang Sect felt certain of claiming first place in the Alchemy Grand Meeting.

On the other side.

Inside a room at some inn.

Jiang Yan sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes tightly shut.

Around his body, three kinds of light — blue, red, and gold — flickered!

If one drew closer, one could discover that these lights were actually composed of burning flames!

A scorching aura permeated the room, causing even the light to warp slightly!

If he had not held them back, these flames would only need to leak a sliver of their might to be enough to burn the entire inn to ashes, leaving not a trace, vanishing into nothingness!

And these three flames were respectively the Mysterious Grade top-quality strange fire that Brother Chen had fetched for him!

The Heavenly Grade top-quality strange fire gifted by the Clan Leader!

And the last....... Sacred Grade low-quality strange fire!

Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Feeling the vast and incomparably powerful force within his body, he could not help but murmur, "This secret art has finally been cultivated to completion......"

Two months ago, by a stroke of fortune, he had obtained this Sacred Grade strange fire within the Tailin Mountain Range!

Fusing it allowed the Flame Art technique to advance to Sacred Grade low-quality!

And now, he had further utilized the Flame Art's peculiar characteristic of embracing all fires to create his own exclusive strange fire secret method!

Its name: Lotus of Destruction!

Once the Lotus of Destruction was deployed, it could forcibly fuse the three strange fires he commanded, erupting with extremely terrifying might!

However, because his cultivation base was still shallow, he was temporarily unable to perfectly control the fusion of these three strange fires.

Causing him to fall into a weakened state after using it!

In other words, this strange fire secret method could only become a trump card in his hands that could not be used lightly!

And aside from the matter of strange fires.

During these three months, he had also cultivated his own cultivation realm to the ninth level of the Star Wheel Realm!

As for his Dao of Alchemy realm, his progress was even more astonishing — under Zhou Lao's strict training, he had already reached the realm of a High-Grade Three-Stripe Alchemist!

Such a terrifying pace of progress made even Zhou Lao exclaim in admiration!

At this moment, Jiang Yan slowly rose and walked to the window.

He stretched out both hands, pushed open the window, and let the warm sunlight pour over his body.

Jiang Yan's brow relaxed, and he smiled.

Then he lowered his head, gazing at the bustling scene of crowds surging through the streets below.

He calculated the time.

"The Alchemy Grand Meeting is about to begin. Now, it is also time to test my recent results......."

Jiang Yan's eyes shone brightly, revealing an indescribable excitement!

Immediately after, he did not linger, swiftly leaving the room and heading toward the venue arranged by the Mystic Pill Sect!

While hurrying along, he conversed with Zhou Lao, who was hidden within the ring.

"Master, please rest assured — at this Grand Meeting, I will surely claim first place and obtain the Blue Silver Grass for you!"

Jiang Yan clenched both fists and said in a deep voice.

In his life, he repaid kindness without fail and kept clear accounts of gratitude and grievance!

Thinking of the bits and pieces shared with his master over these past months, as well as the master's various meticulous teachings toward him.

He could not bear to sit idly by and miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to win the Blue Silver Grass for his master!

As Jiang Yan's words fell.

Zhou Lao also heard the other's determination from them.

He could not help but feel a surge of warmth within, moved.

However, he was ultimately unskilled at expressing such emotions, and merely silently kept them deep in his heart.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Young Master, you have now perfectly mastered the many techniques I taught. With these techniques upon you, let alone those alchemists inferior to you or of the same stripe as you, even those a stripe above you would find it extremely difficult to defeat you!"

"At this Alchemy Grand Meeting, you will surely claim first place!"

Zhou Lao's words revealed immense confidence!

One must know that his Dao of Alchemy realm had reached the Great Master Completion stage!
