The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1626: 1723: Nurturing Fire with FireChapter 1626: Chapter 1723: Nurturing Fire with Fire
As soon as Xu Yanbing’s muttering ended, two robust flames surged out from his hands.
Boom!!!!
The flames were extremely fierce, instantly enveloping the broken Pill Furnace in front of Xu Yanbing.
Not only that, these deep red flames shot up into the sky, resembling a lifelike fire dragon, emitting a deafening roar.
The situation with the fire was ferocious!
Within just a few moments, Xu Yanbing’s Pill Furnace had become scorching hot, reaching the degree necessary for Pill Refining.
Xu Yanbing freed one hand, conjuring fiery birds that carried herbs into the Pill Furnace, creating a lively scene back and forth.
Additionally, Xu Yanbing, distracted again, had a cluster of flames coalesce in front of him, forming a fiery fist that viciously smashed towards Long Zhixin.
Long Zhixin frowned slightly, placing a hand on the Pill Furnace; flames similarly swept out, turning into a Longsword that slashed at the incoming fiery fist.
With a huge blast, the two collided, the fiery fist and the fiery Longsword both dispersed, but the fiery Longsword faded somewhat faster.
This scene had many people completely dumbfounded.
Even the experienced Seven Cauldrons Pill Refiner Huang Hanqing was taken aback at this moment, his eyes wide as he watched Xu Yanbing.
“Multitasking with three tasks? This guy’s control over flames has reached such a level?” Huang Hanqing said in astonishment.
Both the audience below and the significant figures atop Tang Tower were also stunned by Xu Yanbing’s performance.
“He is using the fire to preheat the Pill Furnace while using flames to insert the herbs, and at the same time battling Long Zhixin with fire; this guy’s control over flames is somewhat terrifying,” said a Family Head of a noble house with a grave tone.
“Not only that, but his Soul Commanding Pill Fire is quite peculiar!” the Head of the Ling Family said in a deep voice.
“Indeed, it is unusual; this lad’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire is much stronger than ordinary Soul Commanding Pill Fire!” the Head of the Wu Family continued.
“Could it be that this lad truly possesses Innate Soulfire? Thus, his Soul Fire is stronger than that of other Pill Refiners,” the Head of the Gongsun Family said with furrowed brows.
East Pole Heaven King turned his head to look at the heads of these noble houses, chuckling coldly, but said nothing, making their scalps tingle with his laughter.
Dragon Haotian remained silent, his vision surpassing that of the noble house heads, able to see the true strength of Xu Yanbing.
The power of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire was one aspect; on the other hand, Xu Yanbing’s control over flames had reached a very profound level, the flames acting as if a part of his body, usable at will.
Simply in this regard, he surpassed ordinary Pill Refiners by far, especially his technique of using flames to gather herbs and put them into the Pill Furnace, which could be described as stunning, difficult for many Pill Refiners to achieve no matter how many years they practiced.
“This time, Long Zhixin has fallen far behind,” Fang Lin said with a light smile.
“Hehe, how do you find this Xu Yanbing?” the East Pole Heaven King asked with a smile, clearly proud of presenting a treasure.
Fang Lin’s lips curved upwards: “Very impressive.”
The smile on East Pole Heaven King’s face stiffened: “Just like that?”
“What else?” Fang Lin glanced at the East Pole Heaven King.
“Let’s put it this way, do you think you can defeat Xu Yanbing?” the East Pole Heaven King directly asked.
Fang Lin smiled lightly and did not answer the East Pole Heaven King’s question.
The East Pole Heaven King did not continue to press him. Although he asked this rather direct question, the East Pole Heaven King also knew very well that although Xu Yanbing was a treasure, it would still be somewhat difficult for him to surpass Fang Lin, the freak.
In the estimation of the East Pole Heaven King, Fang Lin’s current level in Alchemy Tao might already be stepping into the realm of Six Cauldrons.
“However, winning against Long Zhixin is not so simple,” Fang Lin remarked. Although Xu Yanbing’s performance had also surprised him, relatively speaking, Fang Lin had more confidence in Long Zhixin.
“That is natural, Long’s talent is the best I have ever seen,” the East Pole Heaven King stated.
He paused, then added another line: “Except for you.”
Fang Lin just smiled and paid no heed.
Below them, the competition between Xu Yanbing and Long Zhixin became increasingly intense.
Indeed, Xu Yanbing had overtaken Long Zhixin, leading her by a considerable margin.
Ordinary Pill Refiners might not notice, but some keen and experienced Pill Refiners could clearly see that Xu Yanbing’s process of using the flames to gather herbs into the Pill Furnace had essentially refined the herbs one time beforehand.
This step was crucial in the race against time during the Alchemy Tao competition. By relying on this clever trick, Xu Yanbing significantly shortened his pill refining process and took a considerable lead over Long Zhixin.
As formidable as Long Zhixin was, she could see the trick within it and knew that she had been left behind in terms of progress. However, she remained composed and not the slightest bit flustered.
Long Zhixin flipped her hands over, and on each of her hands, flames surged.
“Go!” Long Zhixin shouted lightly, and the flames dispersed, transforming into delicate, small Fire Lotuses and roaring towards Xu Yanbing.
Each Fire Lotus, seemingly beautiful, contained extremely terrifying power.
Xu Yanbing cracked a smile, flames continuously surged out from his body, like a river of fire coming forth, rushing towards the Fire Lotuses released by Long Zhixin.
It looked like the Fire Lotuses were about to be engulfed in Xu Yanbing’s sea of flames, but in the next moment, Xu Yanbing’s expression changed.
Those Fire Lotuses, the moment they touched Xu Yanbing’s flames, quietly bloomed, drawing Xu Yanbing’s flames into the lotuses.
Each Fire Lotus absorbed Xu Yanbing’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire, and bolstered themselves, swelling at a visible rate.
The more Soul Commanding Pill Fire Xu Yanbing released, the larger these Fire Lotuses became, and their power grew increasingly terrifying.
This move was something Xu Yanbing had not anticipated.
“What a formidable girl, using fire to nourish fire, I have suffered from this trick in the past too,” Huang Hanqing praised, evidently, being a Seventh Cauldrons Pill Refiner now, he had also competed against a Pill Refiner from the Long Family who had this adept technique, so he was very impressed with the method Long Zhixin displayed at this moment.
The Long Family’s method of using fire to nourish fire is indeed a very tricky move in fire combat; ordinary Pill Refiners simply have no way to cope with this technique.
Once Long Zhixin’s Fire Lotuses grow to a certain extent, they will greatly affect the opponent’s pill refining, even leading directly to pill refining failure.
“Amazing!” Xu Yanbing, looking at the Fire Lotuses which had grown as large as fists and were closing in, exclaimed with a face full of surprise.
