592. The Color of Danlei
There are only two days left until the end of the Dan conference.
These past few days, Xiao Yan has never stopped channeling flames into the medicine cauldron. His unwavering focus is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of the pills within.
However, time had indeed come to the final stage, and even if Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry, some people were worried for him.
"This is driving me crazy! Why isn't it ready yet?" one of the more impatient elders of the Dan Tower said.
However, no one in the Pill Tower blamed him for his lack of composure at this moment, because he had spoken the thoughts of everyone else. Everyone else was just as nervous. Xiao Yan's refining process had reached the final stage, and the pill could be ready to be produced at any time.
The elders of the Pill Tower, who had almost given up hope, had their hopes rekindled after seeing Xiao Yan's performance.
"Perhaps there's still a chance?" This was the hope that Xuan Kongzi dared not voice in his heart.
During this time, Ling Zhuo was also suffering. He was almost forced by Xiao Yan's actions to the point that he didn't even dare to close his eyes to cultivate and could only wait for Xiao Yan to refine it.
He glanced at Linghe on the high platform several times, but the latter just watched Xiao Yan refine it day after day without making any move.
"Young Master, I'll go and deal with him!" Ling Yu asked Ling Zhuo for permission. He couldn't bear to watch Xiao Yan get away with it so easily. Out of his hatred for Xiao Yan, he had to do something.
To Ling Yu's surprise, Ling Zhuo stopped him, controlling Ling Yu's body while shaking his head heavily.
"Xiao Yan's safety is now under heavy guard, and those people in the Pill Tower will absolutely not allow anyone to touch him. You can't do anything by going; you'll only be throwing your life away."
"But we can't just stand by and watch him succeed, can we? This time..."
Before Ling Yu could finish speaking, Ling Zhuo interrupted him forcefully in a deep voice: "Wait!"
……
Concern, hope, curiosity, tension...
These emotions were constantly brewing in the room; Xiao Yan's achievement was something that no one could ignore.
As a pill refiner, Xiao Yan still dared not relax for a moment. While others only focused on their final results, he had many more things to consider.
Despite the numerous limitations at this moment, Xiao Yan's mental state was already at its peak.
Xiao Yan remained unmoved by the countless gazes, each filled with different emotions. His expression was calm, but his eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron. After a moment, he took a deep breath and then suddenly waved his sleeve!
"clang!"
The earth-shattering energy fluctuations had just spread when countless stone platforms were shattered by the flame energy emanating from Xiao Yan's cauldron. The Black Demon Cauldron suddenly trembled violently, and then, amidst the astonished gazes of many, a massive three-colored pillar of fire shot into the sky with a whoosh! The pillar of light ignited by the three-colored strange fire was extraordinary in its sheer force.
A pillar of fire shot into the sky, its blazing flames clearly visible within a hundred miles. The faint energy fluctuations emanating from within the pillar of fire filled many powerful figures with dread.
"It's here. Just how many colors of pill lightning will it be?" Wei Jiangyuan stared intently at the sky. Xiao Yan's current movements indicated that the pill must be of the eighth grade. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was the color of the pill lightning.
Many people in the audience were so tense that they forgot to breathe, staring intently at the thunderclouds that were rapidly gathering due to the pillar of light.
As the thunderclouds churned, a dazzling silver light appeared swiftly, and a powerful pressure arose suddenly.
Immediately following the dazzling silver light, a cyan color emerged and expanded until both cyan and silver occupied half of the thundercloud area.
Lei Yun did not stop after undergoing such changes. A breathtaking red color followed one after another, and after more than ten breaths, the red color completely stabilized!
"Three-colored pill lightning, it's three-colored pill lightning again!"
"Xiao Yan actually refined three-colored pills twice! That's terrifying!"
"It's not over yet, here we go again!"
Amidst gasps of surprise, a dazzling golden light, like the sun hidden within the clouds, quietly released a ray of golden radiance from the churning thunderclouds.
With the four-colored lightning, this pill has reached a new level!
At this point, the pill lightning was so intense that many people dared not look directly at it. If the pill lightning were to fall uncontrollably, the casualties could be terrifying. However, as the golden pill lightning appeared, its rate of change slowed down, and the growth of the golden aura became increasingly difficult. Clearly, everyone understood that the medicinal power within Xiao Yan's pill was nearing its limit.
"Senior brother?!" Yao Qingyu covered her mouth with both hands, not daring to continue watching. She knew very well that Xiao Yan had given everything, but reality didn't seem to be going as planned.
"Still not working?" Disappointment uncontrollably appeared in Wei Jiangyuan's eyes.
Xuan Kongzi, standing on the high platform, clenched his fists tightly. The feeling of hope being ignited and then extinguished was extremely unpleasant.
At this crucial juncture, Xuan Leizi, who had become an inside agent of the Spirit Clan next to Xuan Kongzi, breathed a sigh of relief. He was the only one here who did not want Xiao Yan to succeed.
As Xuan Leizi had hoped, Xiao Yan's four-colored pill lightning stabilized completely during this period. Of course, a faint purple light eventually appeared within the thunderclouds, but that was the end of it. The pill lightning then remained unchanged, clearly indicating that the pill Xiao Yan had spent thirteen days refining could only be completed at this point.
Quasi-Five-Colored Thunder.
No one can say for sure what the result will be, after all, Xiao Yan's performance is already very close to Ling Zhuo's. If it weren't for Ling Zhuo's last crazy move, Xiao Yan would already be the champion.
But reality is cruel; even a thin line can create a huge gap. The outcome between a near-five-colored pill lightning and a true five-colored pill lightning is so clear that even experts don't need to explain it.
Ling Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he met Xiao Yan's eyes again.
In Xiao Yan's deep eyes, there was no trace of frustration at losing to Ling Zhuo; instead, there was only an unwavering calm.
"Xiao Yan, you've lost!" Ling Zhuo couldn't control his emotions at all and said to Xiao Yan in a show of defiance.
"Lingzhuo".
"Remember this well: you are not the only one who can rely on this continent. My teacher is the Medicine Venerable, Yao Chen."
"The continent's number one alchemist!"
As the chilling voice faded, Xiao Yan abruptly took a step forward, his hand plunging directly into the pillar of light before him. His mad act was far from over!
