Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Fire Fight
Fang Lin ignored Guo Zhen’s angry roar, and continued his work at a steady pace.
Refining Dew Pill was as easy as pie to Fang Lin, he could even accomplish it with his eyes closed.
Of course, if he really did it with his eyes closed, it would undoubtedly attract too much attention. Fang Lin thought it’s better to keep a low profile.
After the herbs had been prepared, it was time to start the furnace and create fire.
Ever since Fang Lin acquired the Shenlong Cauldron, he hadn’t used it to refine pills. But he had an innate familiarity with pill furnaces, even on his first use, it felt as if he had used it multiple times before.
Suddenly, Fang Lin reached out with his right hand, and a deep red flame appeared.
“Soul Commanding Pill Fire!”
“So, Fang Lin also has Soul Commanding Pill Fire.”
“This fire, it looks like it comes from a beast’s fire.”
“But it seems not like an ordinary beast’s fire, the aura is strong.”
Many people around showed surprise at this scene, this was their first time to see Fang Lin use Soul Commanding Pill Fire.
Glancing at Fang Lin’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire, Guo Zhen sneered with contempt. In his view, Fang Lin’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire was just ordinary, in no way could it compare to his own flame.
His own pill furnace might be inferior to Fang Lin’s, but he had the advantage in Soul Commanding Pill Fire.
Fang Lin took a deep breath, slapped his right hand on the Pill Furnace, the Soul Commanding Pill Fire immediately adhered to the pill furnace and began to burn vigorously.
As the flames rose, the temperature of the pill furnace quickly upsoared, a True Dragon aura emanating from it.
Another dragon chant sounded, startling the crowd. Even though they had heard it before, the sound of the dragon chant evoked awe no matter how many times it was heard.
Guo Zhen’s face turned gloomy, the dragon chant was a huge disturbance for him, causing his previously calmed attitude to waver again.
“So what if he has a treasure cauldron? My Soul Commanding Pill Fire is stronger than his, and my understanding of Alchemy Tao is above him, I have no reason to lose!” Guo Zhen roared in his heart and became extremely focused.
Bang!
Guo Zhen abruptly slammed his hand on the Five Mountain Cauldron in front of him, a deep purple flame flowed out of his hand, like a fire snake, engulfing the Five Mountain Cauldron.
Boom!!!
At this moment, Fang Lin’s deep red flame and Guo Zhen’s deep purple flame, like two flood dragons, soared into the sky, confronting each other.
Although the Soul Commanding Pill Fire couldn’t hurt people, it could fight against each other.
A high-grade Soul Commanding Pill Fire could suppress a low-grade one.
At this moment, Guo Zhen was trying to use his Soul Commanding Pill Fire to suppress Fang Lin’s and hinder the progress of Fang Lin’s pill refining.
If the Soul Commanding Pill Fire was suppressed, even with the Shenlong Cauldron in his hands, Fang Lin would find it difficult to refine any good pills.
A duel between Pill Refiners was to a great extent, a duel between Soul Commanding Pill Fires.
Therefore, the ability to control fire was extremely important for a Pill Refiner.
As the deep purple flame rose, it turned into a sinister giant python, devouring Fang Lin’s flame.
This gulp possessed an overwhelming aura, as if a real demon Qi-infused python had appeared.
Everyone was surprised at this sight and also felt worried for Fang Lin. If his flames were to be consumed, Fang Lin would inevitably be put in a very awkward situation
Although the Soul Commanding Pill Fire would not disappear because it was swallowed, during the process of refining pills, it would continuously be suppressed by the other party’s flames, affecting its power and directly influencing the quality of the pills.
If Fang Lin lost the fire fight, he would essentially lose.
The purple fire python opened its huge mouth, and swallowed towards Fang Lin’s flames. Just at this moment, the deep red flame suddenly transformed into a gigantic ape.
A gigantic ape was formed from the flame!
The moment the fire ape appeared, an overpowering aura spread in all directions. Everybody under the stage feet a pressure on them.
“This…such a formidable flame!”
“With such a terrifying aura, this fire is definitely not ordinary!”
“It’s not weaker than Guo Zhen’s flame!”
The crowd was amazed. Originally, they had thought that Fang Lin’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire was quite ordinary. But it seemed now that they had all misjudged. An ordinary flame couldn’t possess such an aura.
Fang Lin sneered. Of course, this wouldn’t be an ordinary flame. This deep red flame was one of the inheritances left by the Four Saints of the Purple Mist Sect, it was immensely powerful. After all, it was the flame used by the Four Saints, how could it possibly be weak?
At this moment, the red fire ape angrily rose and punched the purple fire python.
Guo Zhen looked terrified. The purple fire python vanished in an instant, the purple flames dimming into faint sparks.
Guo Zhen appeared to have been impacted as well, his body swayed a few times and his complexion turned several shades paler.
Guo Zhen lost the fire fight!
“How could this be?” Guo Zhen roared in his heart, unwilling to accept the loss, and his jealousy started to surge.
Why did Fang Lin not only have a treasure cauldron, but also such a formidable Soul Commanding Pill Fire? Why him? Why indeed?
After winning the fire fight, Fang Lin said nothing, he retracted his flame and continued refining.
Guo Zhen did not say a word, his face sullen. He gathered himself and put all his attention back to refining pills.
Although he lost the fire fight, it was just one stage. He hadn’t lost in pill refining yet. Everything was yet to be determined, Guo Zhen knew he still had a chance.
“Hehe, this kid doesn’t know how to hide his potentials, what a show-off.” Elder Su in the distance chuckled. He was clearly very satisfied with Fang Lin’s performance.
Old Woman Gu remained silent, her face was frighteningly gloomy, a murderous aura subtly emanating from her.
The Yan family elder also glanced at Fang Lin for quite a while, then the last trace of contempt on his face disappeared.
At this moment, everyone had completely realized that Qian Country was harboring hidden talents. Not to mention having Su Xiaotong as the famous participant, there was Fang Lin who kept a low profile until the competition started, only to shock everyone with his skills.
On the stage, Fang Lin covered the pill furnace and waited for a while. Seeing that Guo Zhen had also covered his furnace, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Anyone familiar with Fang Lin would be able to tell from this smile that he was up to mischief again.
Sure enough, Fang Lin reached out his right palm and in front of everyone’s puzzled gazes, he heavily slapped his furnace.
Bang!
After the first hit, the Shenlong Cauldron started to shake vigorously.
The second slap quickly followed.
Bang!
The entire stage was shaking quickly like Fang Lin’s pill furnace, even the Five Mountain Cauldron in front of Guo Zhen was affected.
“Here it comes! Shaking Three Mountains!”
“My God! The rumor is true!”
“Fang Lin really knows Shaking Three Mountains!”
