Chapter 492: Chapter 136: Total Overwhelming Domination! (Update 1)

“Humph, I’ll let you see how you lose today!”

Diao Yuan slammed the Pill Furnace, and the Pill Furnace instantly flew into the air. The Pill Furnace, emitting Dan Fragrance, kept spinning rapidly in the air, spinning faster and faster, to the point where its shape became blurred.

“What is Senior Brother Diao trying to do?” someone on the viewing platform asked in confusion.

“Who knows? There’s a fire source placed beneath the Pill Furnace beforehand, isn’t he afraid that spinning it might cause the fire source to fall out?”

The spinning Pill Furnace in the air caused many on the central viewing platform to frown slightly.

Xia Tianwu asked Elder Yuan Hu beside him, “Elder Yuan, can you see the purpose of spinning the Pill Furnace at such a high speed?”

Yuan Hu frowned, seemingly pondering for a moment, then shook his head, “I can’t see. Could it be to better blend the medicine powder?”

Xia Tianwu furrowed his brow, “Blending the medicine powder relies on Spiritual Sense. What does it have to do with spinning the Pill Furnace?”

Yuan Hu was taken aback, shrugged, and said, “Then I truly don’t understand.”

Li Ren interjected from the side, mocking, “It seems these Medicine Tower Branch disciples love to show off.”

After he said this, the other three did not respond, seemingly tacitly agreeing with his evaluation.

Below, Hua Cangzhu listened on the First Layer, feeling anger that he couldn’t express, inwardly blaming Diao Yuan for poor handling.

Si Mo watched remotely from the top layer, squinting his eyes for a moment, then turning calm.

The four at the arena’s edge saw Diao Yuan’s actions, their eyes pondering. Based on their understanding of Diao Yuan, he wouldn’t do something futile at such a time.

On the first platform, Mu Qingge was still methodically adding medicine powder into the Pill Furnace.

The grand actions on Diao Yuan’s side didn’t influence her at all, she didn’t even look over, as if whatever Diao Yuan was doing was mere childish folly.

The high-speed spinning Pill Furnace landed heavily on the table, producing a dull sound.

Diao Yuan slapped the table, using Spiritual Power to shake open the lid. He grabbed the last piece of medicine powder on the table and tossed it in. Amidst the medicine powder was a drop of crystalline liquid, unnoticed by anyone.

The medicine powder entered the furnace, and the Pill Furnace lid, opened by Spiritual Power, closed again.

At this point, Diao Yuan did not make the Pill Furnace spin again, but instead infused his Spiritual Sense into it, striving to blend the medicine powder inside. He overheard some of the murmurs around him.

Regarding others’ opinions, he inwardly sneered. ’Laugh, laugh. A bunch of fools!’ He had just used such flashy, baffling actions to attract everyone’s attention. While they were confused and pondering his purpose, he used the opportunity of adding medicine powder to also throw in the drop of potion given by his master that could enhance the Elixir quality.

On the high platform, Si Mo’s eyes flashed, revealing a hidden murderous intent when looking at Diao Yuan.

His gaze shifted lightly to Mu Qingge across the arena.

’Ge’er, your opponent has used a trick.’

A voice drilled into Mu Qingge’s mind.

Mu Qingge squinted her eyes slightly, replying in her mind: ’Ignore it.’

This response caused the murder in Si Mo’s eyes to vanish completely. His lips faintly curled up, a trace of warmth beneath his cold and distant eyes.

He loved Ge’er for her confidence!

As time passed, bursts of Dan Fragrance wafted from Diao Yuan’s Pill Furnace, so rich and pervasive it instantly spread to every corner.

The disciples on the viewing platform couldn’t help but inhale deeply, instantly feeling energized, the exhaustion from watching three days and nights of competition vanished.

“So fragrant!”

“Truly fragrant!”

“What Elixir is this, just smelling it feels like consuming a Low Level Elixir?”

“Could it be Advanced Elixir?”

“Gasp~! Advanced Elixir? If Senior Brother Diao also concocted Advanced Elixir, wouldn’t our Medicine Tower Branch suddenly gain three Advanced Alchemists in one day?”

Everyone was stunned.

Suddenly, they realized that heights they once thought unreachable weren’t so impossible after all.

People are like this; when no one reaches a height, it feels unattainable. But when some do, it feels not so impossible.

Three Advanced Alchemists emerging from the Medicine Tower Branch in one day nearly doubled the count of Advanced Alchemists there, which was a tremendous joy for the entire Medicine Tower Branch.

Driven by this collective sense of honor, most on the viewing platform hoped Diao Yuan was concocting Advanced Elixir and wished for its successful completion, solidifying the title of Advanced Alchemist.

Suddenly, from the hole in the lid of Diao Yuan’s Pill Furnace, wisps of Dan Qi rose up, forming clouds above the furnace.

“Quick, look! It’s Dan Cloud!”

“Senior Brother Diao is indeed concocting Advanced Elixir, and there’s even Dan Cloud!”

“With Dan Cloud, it means the Elixir is nearing completion, right?”

Having witnessed Mu Qingge’s stunning performance earlier, people at the Medicine Tower now knew what Dan Cloud and Dan Flower were. They also understood what the emergence of Dan Cloud represented.

“Actually produced Dan Cloud? Being able to create Dan Cloud while concocting Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, it seems this Elixir’s quality is good,” Xia Tianwu remarked in surprise.

Li Ren laughed indifferently, “Dan Cloud’s emergence doesn’t mean it’ll be successfully concocted. Alchemy is like this; until the Elixir emerges, no one knows for sure if it’ll succeed.”

This Elder always spoke with a hint of contempt for the Medicine Tower Branch, targeting not individuals but the place itself. Or perhaps, he felt superior because he was a Steward Elder at the Medicine Tower Headquarters.

Yuan Hu and Cang Erzi exchanged smiles, saying nothing.

“One, two, three… actually seven Dan Clouds emerged!”

Someone counted the Dan Cloud quantity rising from Diao Yuan’s Pill Furnace, seemingly replicating Mu Qingge’s scene from months ago.

Zhao Nanxing furrowed his brow, saying to Mei Zizhong, “How could Diao Yuan’s Alchemy Skill breakthrough like this in a month?”

Mei Zizhong also furrowed his brow, eyes showing confusion.

The four pursed their lips in silence, unable to guess the answer.

It’s not that they underestimated Diao Yuan’s talent, but his leap was too immense.

If he had only entered the Advanced Alchemist realm, they wouldn’t find it strange. Because everyone’s progress was slow but steady, breakthrough was just a matter of time.

But he not only broke through to Advanced Alchemist but entered the high realm within Advanced Alchemist, which was remarkable.

Just entering the threshold of Advanced Alchemist, it’s impossible to comprehend Dan Cloud and Dan Flower.

Only after exploring for a long time and gaining a deeper understanding of medicines’ commonality can one possibly trigger mystical phenomena. Diao Yuan just entered Advanced Alchemist, likely unstable in his realm, yet could produce Dan Cloud?

This was beyond their comprehension!

“Could it be that Headmaster Hua taught him some secret technique?” Shang Zisu pursed her lips, suggesting.

Zhu Ling shook her head, “Alchemy isn’t something where secret techniques can temporarily boost cultivation. Alchemy is straightforward and hard to cheat. He couldn’t have some secret technique shared with Diao Yuan; if he really cheated, it would only be in the Elixir.”

Zhu Ling, being Hua Cangzhu’s disciple, and Diao Yuan’s junior sister, understood both their personalities well.

Her words were closest to reality.

However, this was mere speculation; without proof, spreading such claims would rather harm Mu Qingge.

They all understood this, so despite their doubts, they remained silent, simply watching Diao Yuan’s actions keenly for anything unusual.

“The Dan Cloud solidified! They’re blooming into Dan Flowers!”

On the viewing platform, an observant disciple first noticed the transformation of the seven Dan Clouds.

Indeed, others heeding his reminder saw the flower shapes above Diao Yuan’s Pill Furnace, vivid and lifelike.

“The Branch disciples do seem well-versed with Dan Cloud and Dan Flower,” Cang Erzi chuckled.

Before Hua Cangzhu could explain, Lou Chuanbai suddenly spoke first: “That’s because two months ago, when my youngest disciple was competing in alchemy with Principal Hua’s disciple, he also condensed Dan Cloud and Dan Flowers, broadening the horizons of the Medicine Tower disciples.”

“Oh? How many did he condense back then?” Xia Tianwu asked with interest.

“Seven.” Lou Chuanbai replied with downcast eyes.

Xia Tianwu nodded with a smile and did not speak further.

After the conversation ended, Lou Chuanbai turned back only to meet Hua Cangzhu’s stern gaze. He coldly smiled and ignored it.

Seven Dan Flowers, increasingly lifelike. Diao Yuan’s face revealed a smug smile. He looked at Mu Qingge with a victor’s gaze and thought: ’Hmph, even if Mu Ge can refine the same grade of elixir as today, so what? The difficulty of this Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill is infinitely close to a Spirit Level elixir. Can you refine a Spirit Level elixir? I’ve already won!’

However, when he looked at Mu Qingge proudly, preparing to show off, he found that Mu Qingge was completely unaffected, her expression indifferent, focused on her Pill Furnace.

Diao Yuan felt a hatred in his heart, like a heavy punch landing on cotton.

The seven Dan Flowers floating above the Pill Furnace finally slowly merged into one, turning into a crystal-clear mist, which again drilled into the Pill Furnace.

Suddenly, the Pill Furnace in front of Diao Yuan trembled violently.

“It’s about to produce the elixir!” Many disciples in the stands stood up excitedly.

“The last step, don’t fail now!” Someone clenched their fists in nervousness.

“Hmph, really. This Diao Yuan is so bad, even if he refines a good elixir, what’s there to be excited about?” Wei Guanguan felt the excitement around her and said discontentedly.

Shui Ling explained: “What they care about is not Diao Yuan himself, but whether the Branch will produce another Advanced Alchemist. Even if it were someone else standing there instead of Diao Yuan, they would be just as excited.”

Wei Guanguan raised her chin in disdain: “Is being an Advanced Alchemist so impressive? I think Mu Ge will be even better than him!”

“Of course! How could Mu Ge lose to him?” Shui Ling nodded in agreement on this point.

The Dan Fragrance slowly receded, no longer dispersing outward, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering around the arena.

Diao Yuan focused his eyes, suddenly slapped the table, and loudly commanded: “Open!”

The lid of the Pill Furnace shot into the air, bursting into powder. A light blue elixir emitting a radiant glow slowly rose from the Pill Furnace. Six tracks appeared faintly around the elixir.

Cang Erzi squinted his eyes and said indifferently: “The Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, once ingested, guarantees survival from severe injuries six times. One revolution per cycle, and each exertion of the elixir’s medicinal power strengthens the physique. If it could truly bring the dead back to life, it would belong to the realm of Spirit Level elixirs.”

Spirit Level elixir, the spirit of the world, resurrection of the dead!

This resurrection does not imply literally bringing the dead back to life, but is a metaphor for turning decay into wonder.

Just like when the lady of Wei Mansion in Tu City had withered meridians, akin to deadwood, only maintaining life in a death-like state. Mu Qingge used a Genetic Transformation Agent in the elixir, barely meeting the requirements for a Spirit Level elixir. After taking it, Lady Wei broke through and reformed her meridians, exemplifying turning decay into wonder.

However, without the Genetic Transformation Agent, even if Mu Qingge could refine elixirs, she couldn’t produce such capabilities.

Cang Erzi’s words were filled with regret.

He seemed to admire the heaven-defying medicinal power of the Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, yet regretted that it was still a hair’s breadth from being a true Spirit Level elixir.

“I must have Diao Yuan send this Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill into the Hidden Pill Tower.” Hua Cangzhu said proudly.

Diao Yuan raised his hand, catching the slowly descending Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill, and placed it into the porcelain bottle he had prepared on the table.

According to the rules, both sides in the competition must wait until both elixirs are produced for evaluation.

Diao Yuan’s elixir was complete, a delightful surprise. At this moment, he was exceptionally pleased with himself, looking at Mei Zizhong at the side of the arena, seemingly mocking him for being unable to refine such a grade of elixir despite being an Advanced Alchemist for quite some time.

Yet Mei Zizhong remained calm, not even glancing at him, solely focused on the still-alchemizing Mu Qingge.

Diao Yuan’s face darkened. He had refined a Six Revolutions Small Returning Pill with difficulty infinitely close to a Spirit Level elixir, which ought to be a dazzling existence. However, the two people he cared most about simply ignored him, how could such a thing not frustrate him?

A grim look flashed in his eyes; he snorted coldly, retracting his gaze, and also looked at Mu Qingge opposite him.

At this time, Mu Qingge wasn’t deliberately ignoring Diao Yuan’s success; rather, she had entered an extremely mystical state during her alchemy process.

This state was not unfamiliar to her; she had experienced it before while in seclusion in her spatial arena.

In that state, she seemed to perceive the commonalities between medicinal materials more clearly. It was as if everything was exposed under a microscope, nothing could hide from her eyes.

Immersed in that mystical state, she forgot everything else.

She forgot about the competition, forgot about Diao Yuan, even forgot about her Pill Furnace.

All around her was a snowy-white void, yet wisps of multicolored light orbited her. These lights were extremely agile, serpentine, constantly weaving into different shapes, sometimes fierce, sometimes benign.

Mu Qingge stood there, head tilted upward, observing everything, as though understanding some underlying pattern. A voice within her kept repeating: ’Find a way to merge these different colored beams.’

Almost simultaneously with the voice’s sound, her Spiritual Sense erupted from her Spiritual Sea, morphing into a thousand hands. Holding each of the writhing beams, she fused them, dismantled them, refused them, dismantled again, extracting all resistance, expelling impurities from within.

On the arena, Mu Qingge’s eyes unknowingly closed, the surface of her Pill Furnace flickering with fire, as if forgotten by her.

“What’s wrong with Brother Mu?” Some asked with concern from the viewing stands.

Yet no one could provide an answer.

Observing the Pill Furnace that seemed on the verge of explosion, many people grew tense, whispering among themselves.

“What’s going on? Why did Brother Mu close his eyes? The condition within the Pill Furnace doesn’t seem good!” Zhao Nanxing, tense, approached Mei Zizhong and whispered.

Mei Zizhong pressed his lips tightly together, exerting so much force that they were faintly white, devoid of color.

He too couldn’t comprehend Mu Ge’s current state.

Zhao Nanxing’s brows furrowed even tighter, worriedly saying: “If an accident happens, Brother Mu will…”

“It won’t happen, Brother Mu won’t lose!” Shang Zisu’s voice was exceptionally firm despite her worried expression!

Shang Zisu’s firm tone made Mei Zizhong take note. He glanced at Shang Zisu, but her icy, beautiful features revealed no clues.

Mei Zizhong pursed his lips, telling Zhao Nanxing: “Sister Shang is right; we must have faith in Brother Mu.”

Zhao Nanxing buried his worries deep, nodding vigorously.

Mu Qingge’s abnormality drew not only the attention of the Medicine Tower disciples but also that of the Alchemy Masters and Elders from the Main Courtyard.

Xia Tianwu was the first to speak, asking the three others beside him: “What do you think is happening?”

Li Ren was the first to express his view, sneering: “What else? His Pill Furnace’s condition is extremely unstable now, with an imminent risk of explosion, undoubtedly due to an inability to control the rejection of the medicinal power.”

Cang Erzi shook his head: “I don’t think so. If he really couldn’t control the rejection of the medicinal power, this disciple wouldn’t be so calm.”

Yuan Hu agreed with Li Ren, saying: “I think he probably can’t control the rejection, thus putting on a façade.”

“I don’t think so. On the contrary, I feel he seems to have entered some state, though I can’t quite pin it down.” Xia Tianwu voiced his opinion.

The four Elders each held different views, sticking to their opinions.

Hua Cangzhu’s and Lou Chuanbai’s mindsets were completely different.

The former was overjoyed at heart, hoping for Mu Qingge to fail. The latter felt a subtle worry for Mu Qingge yet trusted her abilities.

From the highest stands, Si Mo watched Mu Qingge unmoved.

Gu Ya couldn’t help but ask: “Master, what happened to Little Lord?”

Si Mo suddenly curled his lips into a smile: “Little Ge’er has encountered an opportunity meant for her.”

An opportunity?

Gu Ya’s eyes flickered with contemplation and fell silent.

Since it was an opportunity, there was no need to worry.

Relieved, he straightened his face, standing behind Si Mo as a background panel.

On the first arena, Diao Yuan looked at the closed-eyed Mu Qingge, sneering coldly. In his view, Mu Qingge was doomed to lose, destined for failure.

Yin Zhe’s gaze moved to Mu Qingge’s Pill Furnace, watching the flickering flames on the furnace wall. He truly wished he could add more fire and make the furnace explode!

“Brother, will Mu Ge be alright?” Wei Guanguan asked.

It was rare for her to call Wei Qi brother.

However, at this moment, Wei Qi wasn’t paying attention. He just nodded vigorously at her words, comforting her, “We must believe in Mu Ge.”

For a moment, the stands were engulfed in an intense atmosphere of tension.

But Mu Qingge was completely oblivious to it. At this moment, she was lost in that mysterious realm, too exhilarated to contain herself. She felt like a ruling god of rules, freely manipulating the fusion of various lights. That sense of spiritual enlightenment was a prized treasure to her.

When all the lights merged into one, a seven-colored light pillar appeared before her eyes, reflecting her clear eyes into dazzling and enchanting jewels.

Looking at the seven-colored light pillar in front of her, Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a captivating smile.

She lifted her hand and grasped, and the seven-colored light pillar seemed to have life, being absorbed into her palm. When she absorbed all of it, her whole being seemed to be transformed into crystal, radiating a seven-colored gleam, even her hair shone the same.

A few moments later, the seven-colored glow vanished from Mu Qingge’s body.

The scene before her eyes flashed, switching from the previous white illusion back to the competition arena.

As she opened her eyes, she met Diao Yuan’s confident gaze. She returned his gaze with a smile, her hands lightly supporting the restless Pill Furnace, as an invisible force surged from within her, entering the furnace.

Gradually, the Pill Furnace calmed down once more.

“Dan Fragrance! I smell Dan Fragrance!” exclaimed someone a moment later, from the tip of their nose.

He even stood up from his seat on the stands, stretching his neck, head raised, trying hard to sniff.

Following his actions, many others also sniffed, leaning forward a little.

The Dan Fragrance grew more and more intense, permeating the entire venue.

Diao Yuan’s face turned sour.

“This Dan Fragrance… is so pure,” Xia Tianwu lightly sniffed and said softly.

The three people beside him didn’t argue this time, seemingly agreeing with his words.

This Dan Fragrance was purer than usual.

In the past, although the Dan Fragrance was rich, it always had a hint of impurities. But this time, the fragrance they smelled was extremely pure, with no trace of impurities.

Such purity was unheard of, as if just by smelling it, the chronic ailments in their bodies could be alleviated.

If four people working together felt this way, there was no need to mention others.

On the high platform, the smile in Si Mo’s eyes deepened.

Gu Ya took a deep breath of the Dan Fragrance, instantly feeling his body lighten, even dispelling some incurable ailments.

He exclaimed in surprise, “What elixir has little Lord refined? Such extraordinary effects! I feel some old injuries in my body are greatly healed.”

Hearing this, Gu Ye also took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes to carefully experience it, then suddenly opened them wide, excitement bursting in his eyes, nodding vigorously at Gu Ya.

Gu Ya’s words made Si Mo smile, for once explaining in good spirits, “This has nothing to do with little Ge’er’s elixir, but because the medicinal power in her elixir was perfectly released.”

“What do you mean?”

Gu Ya and Gu Ye asked humbly.

Si Mo paused for a moment, reflecting Mu Qingge’s figure in his eyes as he explained to the two, “You should know that every level of elixir has quality distinctions.”

The two nodded with understanding. They were aware of this basic knowledge.

“Within the same tier, quality determines superiority. However, to refine a higher grade, it’s not just skilled alchemy that’s required, more importantly, timing, location, harmony, and luck are critical. Thus, the ranking of elixirs has never guaranteed that you’ll produce a top-grade one time and again. But above the top-grade, there’s a level that few have, or one could say, almost no one has reached,” Si Mo explained.

“What is that?” Gu Ya eagerly asked.

Si Mo’s amber eyes flickered, his voice deep, “The Perfect Grade.” The Perfect Grade is a realm hard to touch, yet unexpectedly, his little Ge’er possessed such talent and fortune!

“Perfect Grade?”

Gu Ya and Gu Ye were astonished, as it was their first time hearing this term.

Si Mo slowly said, “The Perfect Grade means that a person with the Perfect Realm has fully mastered the fusion process of elixirs. In the future, no matter what level of Pill Master she becomes, as long as she practices alchemy, it will be beyond top-grade, reaching the Perfect Grade. Unmatched at the same tier!”

Gu Ya and Gu Ye both gasped!

When did little Lord Mu achieve the Perfect Realm? Having such an invincible presence is simply overwhelming all the opponents!

“The Perfect Realm! This is the Perfect Realm!”

After Si Mo explained for Gu Ya and Gu Ye, Xia Tianwu on the second-layer stands also suddenly realized, exclaiming with shock.

“What did you say!” Li Ren’s eyes narrowed sharply, questioning.

Xia Tianwu’s tone was no longer calm, staring at Mu Qingge in a daze, “I feel that this Dan Fragrance belongs to the Perfect Grade.”

“Impossible! That’s a legendary realm, no Pill Master has ever reached it!” Yuan Hu countered.

Cang Erzi also shook his head, “I don’t believe it either, this disciple is so young, only practicing alchemy for a few years, how could she master the Perfect Realm?”

“Perhaps it’s just luck. After all, we’ve never seen the Perfect Realm, who can say for sure?” Li Ren said deeply.

Xia Tianwu exhaled deeply, regaining his composure, “I’m just voicing my guess, you needn’t take it so seriously.”

Their conversation wasn’t hidden from those on the lower layer—Hua Cangzhu and Lou Chuanbai heard it all.

But, the Perfect Realm was too distant a concept for them, something they’d never heard before.

Listening to their discussion, they wanted to inquire but feared displeasing the four, thus keeping their curiosity hidden. Still, they discerned that the Perfect Realm seemed to be something very remarkable!

“This Dan Fragrance is so comforting! I feel my body is lighter, even my limbs more agile,” said a disciple on the stands comfortably.

Beside him, someone immediately agreed, “Huh? You feel that too? I thought I was the only one, hallucinating!”

“I feel it too!”

“Me too!”

“It seems everyone does!”

Amazed discussions spread across the stands.

The pure Dan Fragrance, like a fog, enveloped the entire stands like heavy dark clouds.

Suddenly, from the cloud layers of gathered Dan Fragrance, came low rumbling sounds, akin to a thunderstorm—

“This… this… impossible!” Hua Cangzhu stood up in shock, eyes fixed on Mu Qingge on the arena. The celestial phenomenon in the sky, he had seen before, back at the Main Courtyard, watching those real masters doing Dan Fighting.

Yet, even so, the scene he witnessed back then was nowhere as grand as this.

However, he knew very well in his heart what such a phenomenon represented!

“Spirit Level Elixir!” A definite voice came from behind him.

These four words also shattered Lou Chuanbai’s calmness, making him stand up abruptly, eyes bursting with intense joy. Spirit Level Elixir! Spirit Level Elixir!

His lifelong aspiration was now realized in his disciple?!

Overwhelmed with immense joy, Lou Chuanbai couldn’t help but slightly tremble the hands hidden in his sleeves.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

Thunderous sounds echoed from the thick Dan clouds.

In the stands, countless disciples stood up in astonishment, looking up at the Dan cloud, whispering among themselves.

Zhao Nanxing asked Mei Zizhong in shock, “Brother Mei, what is this?”

Mei Zizhong couldn’t answer him.

Zhao Nanxing couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Why does Brother Mu always create such a commotion whenever he practices alchemy? Although I don’t know what this is, it must be something good.”

Zhu Ling sneered, “Just look at Diao Yuan’s expression, you’ll know it’s not a bad thing.”

Zhao Nanxing and Mei Zizhong raised their eyes to look at Diao Yuan standing on the other side of the arena. Sure enough, the pride and excitement on his face had disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look, his eyes venomously staring at Mu Qingge.

Xia Tianwu, sitting in his seat, spoke with a tone full of satisfaction, “Unexpectedly, on this trip, I could witness a Spirit Level Alchemist! And so young, such talent is truly unprecedented!”

The other three people didn’t open their mouths to refute, seemingly agreeing with his words.

Spirit Level Alchemist? Haha, these four have only entered this realm for a mere dozen years. But this person before them? She’s probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet has already achieved the realm they have pursued for a lifetime!

What is most enviable is that she might have achieved the perfect realm that countless people on the Alchemy Path dream of!

“Advanced Alchemists, when reaching the peak of alchemy, can produce Dan Ash. And when Spirit Level Alchemists practice alchemy, the elixir’s quality is too perfect, causing… Dan Rain.” Cang Erzi stared at the increasingly dense Dan cloud, whispering softly.

“Dan Rain!”

Almost simultaneously, Si Mo also softly uttered the term from the highest stand.

Following his voice, the heavy dark clouds over the entire competition venue seemed to suddenly split open, as countless elixirs fell like rain, showering down on the stands and landing in every corner.

“What is this!” someone exclaimed in shock.

“Elixirs! These are elixirs!” Those who picked up the elixirs immediately answered the question.

“What?! Elixirs!” Countless people were shocked as they were struck by the falling elixirs.

Mei Zizhong casually grabbed a few elixirs falling from the sky. He opened his hand, allowing the faint Dan fragrance to flow out. Shock filled his eyes, and he said in an almost trembling tone, “These are… Intermediate Elixirs!”

Zhao Nanxing, Shang Zisu, and Zhu Ling all involuntarily narrowed their eyes.

At the moment, Zhao Nanxing disregarded his image and dove forward, grabbing elixirs from the ground and smelling them before his nose: “They really are Intermediate Elixirs!” After saying this, he looked up, shocked, at Mu Qingge, who was still focused on the Pill Furnace on the arena.

The Dan Rain seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Elixirs kept pouring down, causing a scramble on the stands.

Diao Yuan stood on the arena, continuously struck by the elixirs. At his feet, the arena was scattered with countless elixirs. These were real elixirs, not illusions.

He was mad with jealousy, repeatedly asking himself: ’Why? Why? Alchemy clearly involves this kind of magic, but how can there be so many elixirs falling from the sky? Clearly, he was already about to win, so why did he suddenly create such a big commotion?’

On the second-layer stand, Xia Tianwu sighed, “Such a scale of Dan Rain has really never been seen before.”

In the Main Courtyard, Spirit Level Alchemy doesn’t always produce Dan Rain. And those that do, according to the records of the Medicine Tower, have at most brought down a hundred elixirs. But now? It’s probably thousands, maybe even tens of thousands! The difference is simply…

Xia Tianwu wanted to say ’the younger generation can be formidable’, but it ultimately turned into a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, shaking his head slowly.

Some people simply cannot be compared to him!

On the highest layer stand, Gu Ya looked at Mu Qingge, then at his master: “Holy Master, this…”

Si Mo smiled gently, “Because little Ge’er has achieved the perfect realm.”

Gu Ya and Gu Ye both gasped, realizing more about the perfect realm!

Boom!

Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s Pill Furnace emitted a sound.

Cracks appeared on the Pill Furnace, seeming to exceed its limit, approaching the edge of explosion.

Diao Yuan, who had been closely watching Mu Qingge, brightened in his eyes, feeling stirred once again. If the furnace explodes, the elixir would be ruined, meaning he would still be the final winner?

His thoughts hadn’t ended when a louder explosion came from the Pill Furnace.

The Pill Furnace before Mu Qingge suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of dust.

“It’s exploded!”

The stands were in shock, even forgetting to pick up elixirs.

By the arena, Zhao Nanxing and the other three felt their hearts tighten, nervously watching Mu Qingge.

“How could it explode? Did that Diao mess with the Pill Furnace?” Wei Guanguan exclaimed anxiously.

Wei Qi pulled her back, reassuring her, “Don’t be in a rush, look at Mu Ge, doesn’t he look calm? Nothing will happen.”

“It exploded.” Hua Cangzhu sat down slowly, as if letting out a sigh of relief.

Lou Chuanbai stood tensely, eyes always locked on Mu Qingge.

Contrarily, Xia Tianwu’s group of four was very calm, as though it had been anticipated. Seeing Lou Chuanbai’s condition, Xia Tianwu said indifferently, “The Pill Furnace prepared for the qualification game can only withstand the crafting of Advanced Elixirs at most. The power of Spirit Level Elixirs is too strong, the Pill Furnace naturally couldn’t handle it.”

Cang Erzi also added, “Now, we’ll see whether he can maintain a calm state of mind and protect the elixir amidst the explosion.”

After hearing the two, Lou Chuanbai relaxed his tense body, and turning to the two, clasped his fists, “Thank you.”

Xia Tianwu and Cang Erzi both nodded with a smile in return.

But Hua Cangzhu’s face turned ugly again.

The four elders who came this time were all newly promoted after his departure, and he didn’t know them. Furthermore, he had left the Main Courtyard for over two hundred years, utterly unfamiliar with the current situation there, which was truly unfavorable to him!

Countless disciples watched Mu Qingge nervously, yet she remained unchanged, as if she had been aware of the explosion beforehand.

Unable to hold back, Diao Yuan mocked, “Brother Mu, explosions are common. If this failed, there’s always next time, why pretend so theatrically? Could you possibly make an elixir appear out of thin air?”

Mu Qingge lifted her eyes and smiled mischievously at him, “Who said that an explosion would definitely ruin the elixir?”

After speaking, she waved her hand, dispersing the dust from the Pill Furnace like a gust of wind. A brilliantly glowing elixir with a seven-colored glow and waves of pressure slowly revealed its true form.

Diao Yuan’s eyes widened suddenly, bloodshot lines covering his eyeballs, staring incredulously at the elixir floating before Mu Qingge.

There, the elixir was about the same size as a regular one, yet emitted a seven-colored glow, exquisitely transparent, with waves of pressure emanating from it, instantly enveloping the entire competition arena in a seven-colored glow.

“Wow! It’s beautiful!”

“Really pretty!”

“Like a dream!”

Bathing in the seven-colored glow, Medicine Tower Disciples displayed intoxicated and captivated expressions.

Si Mo was similarly bathed in the seven-colored glow, appearing even more heavenly and unassailable!

“It is preserved!” Xia Tianwu exclaimed in admiration. He enviously said to Lou Chuanbai, “Master Lou, your disciple truly makes others envious! I even want to snatch him from your hands!”

Lou Chuanbai, looking flustered, stood up and awkwardly smiled at Xia Tianwu.

Xia Tianwu laughed, “Don’t worry, I was teasing you. Such a peerless genius, perhaps neither you nor I are capable of teaching him.”

“The elder is right.” Lou Chuanbai nodded and sighed. He had long understood this. However, being nominally associated with Mu as a master-disciple bond, he was satisfied.

Diao Yuan stood in the midst of the seven-colored glow, stunned, seemingly unable to believe the scene before him.

Suddenly, the seven-colored glow emitted a strong white light. When it faded, there was no sign of the Dan cloud, Dan rain, or seven-colored glow.

Only a humble and unadorned elixir fell slowly from the sky, eventually landing in Mu Qingge’s palm.

On it, flashes of golden light seemed to hold some mysterious runes.

Mu Qingge held the elixir and smiled at the platform elders who were already dumbfounded, “Elder, I’ve done it.”
