Alchemy, a profession that needs more than just talent to advance and move forward.
The fire control for alchemy cannot simply co with talent; you have to practice for hours and days before you can even will the fire to move the way you want it to.
Even if you practice alchemy for 5 years every day, all day, there is a limit to what you can achieve.
After all, for alchemy, you need both alchemy experience and cultivation. It should be almost impossible for soone to beco a high-level Rank 4 alchemist at that ti.
'Then why… Why can he move his fire like that?!' Zhang San almost pulled his beard into his hands, seeing the almost perfect control Noah had while controlling his fire.
"This guy!! He is using fire qi to transfer the materials in the cauldron. Isn't he afraid that the fire would burn the materials before he can even use them?!" Zhang Er was shocked to see Noah's alchemy in action.
It was like he was making the fire perform an elegant dance, a dance that moved with his heart. The fla moved around the cauldron freely, its temperature changing without any problems at the required places.
"What beautiful alchemy," Zhang Yi muttered, seeing the smile on Noah's face and the lost look in his eyes.
At that mont, Noah did not care about anything and was fully imrsed in his alchemy, his spirit dancing along with the flas.
"Can she really win?" The alchemists who previously thought Zhang Ying would defeat Noah were starting to have inner doubts, but seeing that even Zhang Ying was imrsed in her alchemy, they all sighed.
Even though Zhang Ying was enraged at Noah, she was able to calm her heart and place her heart in alchemy. So much so that she did not notice or pay attention to one of her opponent's actions.
'This level of fire control, this level of focus… Even I cannot do this!' Hong i thought in shock, seeing Noah's flas moving around.
She was a Tier 7 alchemist, one of the handful in the Feng Empire, and she was not certain that she could match Noah in terms of fire control.
'No wonder this boy can make it this far. If I had to guess, he either has a sacred body related to pill making or he has a very high fire affinity!'
Biting the tip of her thumbnail, Hong i's thoughts flashed with different possibilities. Soon her eyes flashed with a sharp light. 'We have to get this boy in our sect no matter what!'
She did not care if Noah won or lost or even if he had any relationship with the emperor; she wanted his talent to be in her sect before soone else could take him away.
As the ti flashed by, an hour went by! In this hour, Noah had simply turned the pill materials into essence.
It was not just him; even Zhang Ying was around the sa level. The higher the Tier of the pill, the more ti it takes to form.
Noah could have taken less ti for the sa steps, but it was the first ti he was making a pill like this and he needed to focus on the preparation carefully.
"What do you think about them?" Zhang Yi asked, looking at his two brothers who were standing beside him.
"Their talents are terrifying." Zhang San shook his head with a sigh. "Around their age, we were simply Rank 2 alchemists."
"Even though both of them are at the sa rank, the difference is quite clear," Zhang Er added while looking at Noah. "I wonder where he cos from."
"What pills do you think they are making?" Zhang Yi asked again with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Hearing this question, the two of them turned silent for a while as they looked at Zhang Ying's cauldron.
Recalling the materials she chose and the way she was refining them, they tried to guess the pill she was cooking.
"The pill, huh? I feel like she is making a Heavenly Yuan Pill."
"The renowned pill of the Alchemy Pavilion?" Zhang San gasped in shock. "It is said that this pill gives soone in the Core Formation realm a 40% chance to advance to the next level."
40% may not sound like a lot, but for those who were desperate for a breakthrough, even 1% was a huge amount.
Zhang Yi also nodded, hearing the words of his brothers. He had also guessed she was going for the kill, but what made him curious was what kind of pill the mysterious young man was creating.
Just then, a huge gust of wind appeared all around the arena. With Zhang Ying's cauldron as the center, the energy of heaven and earth started to rush towards her.
*Woosh!*
"What's happening?"
"This is the rumored energy of heaven and earth?!"
The audience beca unsettled, feeling the changes in the air.
A small tornado appeared above her cauldron.
"She is starting to condense the liquid to form the pill." One of the alchemists in the crowd muttered in shock. This was the first ti he had seen such a grand display of pill-making.
Among the audience, there were many alchemists who ca here to watch the tournant.
Even though the participants were youngsters, they learned a lot just by watching their performance.
*Humm!*
People could feel their skin and hearts trembling under the resonance of heaven and earth.
Zhang Ying's cauldron started to glow as she controlled her fire skillfully.
While this was happening, on the other side, Noah was already at a critical mont of his pill refinent.
He looked inside the cauldron with his soul sense and saw the natures of different materials colliding with each other. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Yin and Yang were fighting for supremacy.
'Now is the ti!' With a single thought, Noah threw the last ingredient into the cauldron, the core of an unknown beast.
One of the materials he picked up from the table. Others may not know the details of the monster this core was from, but he knew it.
It was the core of the Elental Spirit Serpent!
