Both Heavenly Flame plus Rank 7 Beast Flame, for any Alchemist present, just controlling one is very difficult. Only Yun Tianming, with powerful Soul Power, can wield them.
Feeling the burning of the three flames, there are faint signs of destruction at the moment the Pill forms.
"Hmph! So what if the Heavenly Flame is powerful? Your alchemy still lacks some experience."
Yan Li's eyes were sharp, seeing through the clues at a glance.
"It seems the guild's records were not wrong. Yun Tianming officially registered as an Alchemist, not even three years ago."
"Which means, from starting alchemy until now, it's been less than three years."
Fa Ma looked at the dossier in his hand, his face involuntarily showing a look of shock.
In less than three years, Yun Tianming has reached the level of a Fourth Grade Alchemist from a novice. This talent is too terrifying!
"But, because he doesn't often spend much time learning alchemy, his alchemy skills still lack some proficiency."
The guild elders shook their heads one after another, obviously not optimistic about Yun Tianming's ability to successfully refine the Pill.
"Is he going to explode the cauldron?"
"Even if the quality of this cauldron is good, won't the violent energy inside still need to be released?"
Everyone looked at the violent shaking, like a raging beast. Once the energy in this cauldron erupts, the destructive power will definitely destroy the Pill inside.
But just then, Yun Tianming suddenly slapped heavily on the cauldron. Almost at the same time, the top of the cauldron flew up, and a surging pillar of fire soared into the sky! Even if a Dou King-level powerhouse were hit by this destructive force, they would be severely injured!
"Haha, President Fa Ma! Since the last person has failed, please announce the final results of the conference!"
After laughing wildly for a while, Yan Li finally restrained the ecstasy in his heart, lifted his head, and looked at Fa Ma and others in the judges' seat, laughing wantonly.
"What should we do, President?"
Qie Mi'er frowned, a hint of killing intent emerging on his usually gentle face.
"What else can we do? Can we kill him in front of everyone here?" Fa Ma's face was equally ugly, but at this moment, he was helpless.
"The despicable Alchemist of the Chu Yun Empire!"
"That guy took advantage of our inability to expose his true identity and can't take action against him in front of everyone."
The guild elders were all indignant, glaring at Yan Li laughing on the field, wishing to tear him apart!
"According to the rules of the conference, the one who produces the highest grade and practicality of Pill in this round will be the final winner. Yao Yu and Liu Ling, although they also produced Fourth Grade Pill, are inferior in grade and practicality to the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill refined by Yan Li. Xiao Yan and Yun Tianming failed in their final refinement, so..."
The vast square fell into silence, with only the helpless voice of Fa Ma echoing slowly.
"The winner of this year's Alchemist Conference in Jia Ma Empire..."
With arms crossed, Yan Li smiled as he looked at Fa Ma and others on the platform with dark faces. He stretched lazily. Now, he could almost imagine the kind of adulation he would receive when he returned to the Chu Yun Empire. By then, the position of guild president would be uncontested!
"I declare the winner is from the Chu Yun Empire."
Fa Ma painfully closed his eyes, almost gritting his teeth as he uttered the last few words.
"Hold on!"
An abrupt shout suddenly echoed across the square, interrupting Fa Ma's almost finished sentence.
All eyes turned once again to Yun Tianming, who emerged from the firelight.
The sturdy bluestone floor had been shattered, and although the cauldron remained intact, thick black smoke billowed from it, showing no signs of successful refinement.
"The competition isn't over yet, is it?"
Yun Tianming spoke softly.
"Three minutes left."
Fa Ma glanced at him, his face devoid of any hope.
"Yun Tianming! Your Pill has been destroyed, and you only have three minutes left. You don't have enough time to refine it again. Heh! I admire your alchemy skills. If you want, you can join the Alchemist Guild in my Chu Yun Empire."
Yan Li's blatant recruitment immediately provoked anger among the Jia Ma Empire Alchemists on the field.
"Shut up! You despicable scoundrel!"
"Our country's Yun Tianming won't join you!!"
Representing the Jia Ma royal family, Yao Yu's emotions seemed particularly stirred.
"Who told you I'm going to refine it again?"
Yun Tianming remained indifferent, a hint of mockery flashing in his gaze.
Challenging Xiao Yan is one thing, but who do you think you are, a mere bystander?
"What do you mean by this?"
Seeing Yun Tianming's confident expression, Yan Li's smile gradually faded from his face, replaced by some uneasiness.
Without answering Yan Li's question, Yun Tianming, under the scrutiny of tens of thousands of eyes around the square, slowly raised his right hand. With his palm slightly curled, a suction force suddenly surged towards the sky.
Following Yun Tianming's gesture, the gaze of the entire venue slowly lifted, finally stopping in astonishment at the mysterious floating Blue Flame above the sky.
Due to the flame's color being almost identical to the azure sky around it, it was difficult to notice at first glance that it was a Blue Flame like a burning lake.
This flame was precisely the one Yun Tianming had struck at the bottom of the medicine cauldron a second before it erupted, using his Dou Qi to wrap the pill in a Green Ocean Lotus Flame, propelling it into the sky to avoid the cauldron's destructive energy.
"The flame has taken the form of a lotus flower, somewhat resembling the Green Lotus Core Flame ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, with water wave patterns around it, similar to the fifteenth-ranked Sea Heart Flame."
"Indeed, this is a new Heavenly Flame formed by the fusion of two Heavenly Flames after the Flame Mantra merged them!"
Yao Chen couldn't help but exclaim, as so far, the Flame Mantra's ability to merge Heavenly Flames had only been theoretical, with no one having achieved it yet.
"Little Yan, this person is destined to be your formidable rival," Yao Chen's heart was filled with worry.
Because on the Dou Qi Continent, there were only about twenty Heavenly Flames. Excluding those inherited by the ancient eight clans and superpowers, the number of ownerless Heavenly Flames circulating on the Dou Qi Continent was even fewer.
Now that there was another practitioner of the Flame Mantra, Yun Tianming would undoubtedly seek out other Heavenly Flames. Xiao Yan's opportunities would only become scarcer.
Under the gaze of everyone, the lake-blue flame gradually dispersed, and a green pill slowly descended. The surface of the pill displayed three stripes in purple, blue, and green, exuding rich energy.
"Yun Tianming refines Fourth Grade Pill: Three Lines Green Spirit Pill, rating: SS."
