Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Final Reversal

Translator: 549690339

Soul Commanding Pill Fire, is a bizarre flame that only Pill Refiners can master.

This flame can be born from the Pill Refiner’s soul, or can be harnessed from external sources, merging it into one’s own soul for cultivation.

Both methods have their unique merits.

However, any Pill Refiner who possesses the Soul Commanding Pill Fire is indisputably a highly skilled individual. Out of hundreds of elite Pill Refiners, perhaps only two or three can obtain this Soul Commanding Pill Fire. Take the current disciples of the Pill Sect for instance, not one elite disciple possesses the Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

Thus, the appearance of the extremely rare Soul Commanding Pill Fire on Dugu Nian’s body, really shocked Gu Daofeng.

Pill Refiners owning the Soul Commanding Pill Fire definitely excel in Alchemy Tao over those of the same level who do not possess this fire, a fact acknowledged throughout the Pill Refining Circle.

The emergence of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, not only astonished Gu Daofeng but also startled all the elders of the Pill Sect.

Meng Wuyou, Mu Yan and others who were previously confident in Fang Lin, felt apprehensive at the sight of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

There’s no helping it. The appearance of Soul Commanding Pill Fire is even more surprising than the Micro Gold Pupil.

“What’s happening? How can Dugu Nian have a fireball in his hand?”

“Isn’t this cheating?”

“What cheating? That’s called Soul Commanding Pill Fire.”

On the Pill Sect’s side, many disciples wore puzzled expressions, they didn’t even know what the Soul Commanding Pill Fire was.

As for the disciples familiar with the existence of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire, their faces didn’t look good either.

“Having Soul Commanding Pill Fire at a young age, really impressive,” Yu Qiufan uttered bitterly. Before seeing the people from Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, he was still quite conceited.

But now it seems, he had only been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. Just Ten-thousand Medicine Sect alone had so many incredible talents.

Ding Xuanji didn’t say a word, his fists clenched slightly. Even a proud man like him felt a hit at this moment.

No way around it, none of them, who are part of the Four Elites of Pill Sect, currently possess the Soul Commanding Pill Fire. Naturally, they are exceptionally envious of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire on Dugu Nian.

Of course, there was one person most astonished by the emergence of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

That person was Fang Lin.

When he saw the deep red flame appearing in Dugu Nian’s hand, his eyes immediately brightened, even more excited than when he had seen the Micro Gold Pupil previously.

“Good fellow, this girl has some talent. Judging by the flame, it should have been born from her soul rather than obtained from the outside world. That’s even rarer,” Fang Lin thought to himself, his eyes fixed on Dugu Nian.

The latter was completely focused, her face remarkably serious, her eyebrows tightly knitted, carefully controlling the Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

While the Soul Commanding Pill Fire was powerful, it took great effort to control, as the force of this flame was not comparable to ordinary fire. Any slight carelessness would lead to a complete ruin of a batch of pills.

Obviously, Soul Commanding Pill Fire had its advantages. It could dramatically reduce the time it takes to refine pills, and the quality of the pills would be better than those refined by ordinary flame. However, the Soul Commanding Pill Fire is only useful in Pill Refining, and cannot be utilized in combat with others.

After watching for a while, Fang Lin also withdrew his gaze. While the Soul Commanding Pill Fire did surprise him, having seen it for this long, he felt satisfied and decided it was time to focus on the task at hand.

At the moment, Fang Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, appearing to be preparing something.

Seeing Fang Lin ignoring his own Pill Furnace and sitting down, Dugu Nian felt even more puzzled.

But she didn’t have the leisure to think about what Fang Lin was up to, as she had to focus on her own Pill Furnace to complete the final step.

Once this final step is completed, she would technically be ahead in progress.

As for the quality of the pills, Dugu Nian was pretty confident. Through meticulous adjustments using the Micro Gold Pupil, and with the fusion process of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire, the quality of the pills should definitely reach a high standard.

With the Micro Gold Pupil technique and the Soul Commanding Pill Fire, if the quality of the pill still cannot reach top-notch, Dugu Nian might as well give up refining.

The outcome would soon be determined.

Dugu Nian knew that she could only surpass Fang Lin in terms of time, which was her only advantage at this point.

Watching as Dugu Nian’s pills gradually entered the final stage, the members of the Pill Sect were getting nervous again.

On the other hand, those from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect were cheering Dugu Nian on, adding to the tense atmosphere.

At this moment, there was not a single person who felt at ease because this was the last battle concerning the honor and disgrace of a sect. If Fang Lin fails, it would mean that the Pill Sect had completely lost to the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

Such a loss would deal a deadly blow to the reputation of the Pill Sect.

The Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, too, could not afford to lose.

They were the ones who had actively issued the challenge, and if they couldn’t defeat the Pill Sect, the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect would greatly lose face.

At this point, it seemed like Dugu Nian had the higher chance of winning.

On the stone platform, the elderly man surnamed Gong saw Dugu Nian about to successfully refine her pill, and that Fang Lin was still meditating, showing a smile on his face.

“Gu, I guess we have the upper hand this time.” The man surnamed Gong couldn’t help but say.

Gu Daofeng responded indifferently, “Why is Palace Master Gong so sure that our Pill Sect will lose when it’s not over yet?”

The elderly man surnamed Gong laughed. Does he have to explain it? Anyone with clear vision could see that Dugu Nian would succeed in refining the pill in less than an hour while Fang Lin was still meditating. There was utterly no time left and he was far behind.

Such a large time gap was enough to determine the outcome.

No one could reverse the situation under such a huge time gap unless a three-cauldron or even stronger person took over personally.

There was almost no hope for anyone below the Three Cauldrons in the face of such a large time gap.

However, Fang Lin was an exception.

Just as Dugu Nian was joyfully watching her Pill Furnace, Fang Lin opened his eyes; he had gathered enough energy.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin jumped up and swung a heavy palm strike. Bang!

His palm landed on his pill furnace, causing a muffled sound. At the same time, an intense tremor emanated from the furnace. The magnitude of it was so huge that it could be observed by the naked eye.

This scene excited the disciples of the Pill Sect.

Without any delay, Fang Lin struck the furnace with his second palm.

Bang!!

The tremor became more obvious, with the Pill Furnace shaking on the ground.

On the other side, Dugu Nian’s furnace also appeared to be influenced, trembling slightly.

This sudden change left Dugu Nian flustered. In her confusion, she hastily tried to use her Soul Commanding Pill Fire technique to stabilize her furnace.

While the Soul Commanding Pill Fire could be used for refining, it was useless in other aspects.

Fang Lin didn’t stop. Without hesitation, he dropped his third palm.

Bang!!!

This strike seemed like a slap on the faces of all the disciples of the

Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, utterly shattering Dugu Nian’s last shred of hope.

Fang Lin’s Pill Furnace fell eerily quiet, whereas Dugu Nian’s furnace abruptly exploded amidst the intense trembling..
