Chapter 387: The Emergence of Heavenly Flame, Submission of All Fires!

Xiao Yan closed his eyes in thought for a moment, then flicked his fingers lightly, laying out the materials for the “Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill” on the stone platform before him. The collection included over twenty types of ingredients.

This was the first time Xiao Yan had attempted to refine such an extensive set of materials. The psychological pressure was undeniably intense for him.

“To stand out among the crowd, even if I can’t produce the highest-grade, three-patterned pill, I should at least achieve a two-patterned Green Spirit Pill!”

He muttered to himself as he prepared the materials.

Meanwhile, Liu Ling had already arranged his own set of ingredients—a collection that was easily double what Xiao Yan had on his platform.

“Oh?”

“Unexpectedly, this kid can refine a fourth-grade pill!”

Unintentionally, Liu Ling caught sight of the materials on Xiao Yan’s platform and couldn’t help but regard him with a newfound respect.

In the next instant, Liu Ling turned his attention back, raising his hand. The “Green Lotus Core Flame” surged into the Crimson Serpent Cauldron, and an intense wave of heat immediately engulfed the entire plaza.

Although everyone was aware that Liu Ling possessed a unique flame, the sight still drew countless heated gazes and rounds of enthusiastic applause.

With the combination of the Crimson Serpent Cauldron and the Green Lotus Core Flame, Liu Ling’s setup was undeniably impressive. Even before obtaining this flame, Liu Ling could refine fourth-grade pills with ease. Now, with the addition of this heavenly flame, producing fifth-grade pills should be well within his reach.

However, this time, Liu Ling didn’t overreach by attempting to create a sixth-grade pill. Instead, he chose to refine a fifth-grade pill called the “Dragon Power Pill.”

On the high platform, Fa Ma had been intently observing the black-robed figure. Yet, upon glimpsing the materials on Liu Ling’s platform, he was taken aback, nearly dropping his jaw.

“This many ingredients must be for at least a fifth-grade pill! Does this mean Liu Ling has already become a fifth-grade alchemist?” Fa Ma exclaimed, utterly stunned.

Even Liu Ling’s possession of a unique flame hadn’t astonished Fa Ma as much.

To become a fifth-grade alchemist at merely eighteen or nineteen years old meant Liu Ling could potentially reach the fabled seventh-grade level in the future—an accomplishment that alchemists across the Northwest Continent would spend a lifetime striving for but might never achieve.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Xiao Yan and the black-robed figure, who had performed remarkably well in the previous rounds, used only ordinary pill flames like the rest of the crowd.

Just then, Liu Ling suddenly intensified the heat from the Green Lotus Core Flame within the Crimson Serpent Cauldron, causing the temperature across the plaza to rise again. Strangely, as the temperature increased, the flames in the hands of the other contestants, including the Little Princess, dimmed and seemed to lose some of their vigor.

A light breeze swept across the plaza, and the multicolored flames, each with unique hues, tilted ever so slightly. To everyone’s amazement, each flame pointed in the direction of Liu Ling at the center of the arena.

More precisely, the flames were drawn towards the ethereal green flame rising from Liu Ling’s cauldron.

The peculiar scene resembled ministers bowing before their sovereign.

“A heavenly flame’s emergence, and all fires bow in submission—how true those words are!”

Watching this spectacle, Fa Ma sighed softly from the high platform. He had witnessed a similar scene in his youth, and it astonished him to see it again at such a moment.

The strange phenomenon on the plaza didn’t seem to surprise Liu Ling too much. As the temperature in the Crimson Serpent Cauldron rose, the flames in the contestants’ hands gradually returned to normal.

“This guy!”

The Little Princess muttered in frustration. Having never witnessed a heavenly flame’s raw power before, she’d assumed her “Aquatic Blue Flame” was nearly on par with Liu Ling’s Green Lotus Core Flame. However, after seeing her own flame’s submission, it was clear to anyone that it was far from comparable; otherwise, her flame wouldn’t have displayed such a subservient behavior.
