Chapter 716: Chapter 778: Seven-Star Overcoming Calamity Pill Chapter 716: Chapter 778: Seven-Star Overcoming Calamity Pill Chapter 778

The one who understands a person best is definitely their enemy.

Iron Palm Gang and the Tang Family were like fire and water.

At first, Iron Palm Gang was constantly thinking of making a comeback in Xichuan.

Yu Cheng was the spearhead.

That’s why he started in Hechuan City, hoping to subjugate all the major powers there.

However, due to a quirk of fate, his plans were thwarted by Long Xiaoshan.

Even Qiu Zhen, the leader of Iron Palm Gang, was killed by Long Xiaoshan.

...

Iron Palm Gang was no longer a threat.

From the beginning, Long Xiaoshan had heard Yu Cheng mention that the Grandmaster ancestor of the Tang Family had suffered severe injuries after clashing with a Great Witch Master from the Miao Frontier.

It was likely that he had been afflicted with witchcraft poison.

This also matched the characteristics of malevolent spirits, as witchcraft poison is often concocted from such entities, be they Gu insects or other sinister things.

Elixir formulas flickered through Long Xiaoshan’s mind.

A formula emerged.

Seven-Star Detoxification Pill!

This was a supreme elixir used for detoxification and warding off evil.

It could not only detoxify but also break curses.

Since the Tang Family ancestor had fought with the Great Witch Master, it was very likely he was afflicted not only by poison but by a curse as well, since in witchcraft, poison and curses go hand in hand.

If he was poisoned, it was highly likely that he was cursed too.

And the Seven-Star Detoxification Pill had both effects.

The level of the Seven-Star Detoxification Pill was even higher than that of the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill.

It was a genuine Spirit Pill.

It required several types of Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that he had sold many elixir pills at the trade convention and exchanged them for numerous Hundred-Year-Old Medicines, he wouldn’t have had the materials for the Seven-Star Detoxification Pill.

But now, he just happened to be able to gather them.

The Tang Family had prepared pill furnaces for all the alchemists.

Long Xiaoshan had a pill furnace of his own, but the one prepared by the Tang Family wasn’t bad either, so he didn’t take his out, in order not to let people know he owned a Space Ring.

“All grandmasters, if you have decided which elixir you would like to concoct, you may begin,” Tang Xun said.

“This competition has no time limit; you may take your time to think things through before starting.”

As for what elixir to concoct, basically all alchemists didn’t need to ponder much.

Since it was a detoxification pill, they would certainly choose the high-level elixir they could concoct.

Otherwise, how could they outshine the others?

A few pill masters walked up to the furnaces, put in fuel, and ignited them.

This was the moment when their abilities were evident.

It was seen that Qiu Tianduo from Medicine King Valley and Bi Hanmo from Tianyi Sect went to the pill furnace but didn’t add any fuel, instead, they directly infused True Qi and ignited the True Fire.

A truly skilled alchemist.

Naturally uses True Fire.

But True Fire consumes a lot of True Qi, and alchemists without sufficient cultivation cannot sustain the concoction of high-level elixir pills.

They have no choice but to use fuel.

No matter what kind of fuel it is, none is as pure as True Fire, and it’s easy for the elixir to be tainted with impurities.

Only elixir pills refined by True Fire are the purest, with the fewest impurities.

The control of True Fire also reflects a pill master’s alchemy level.

Fu Xuelan from Bodhisattva Gate appeared calm and unhurried, her gaze sweeping across the alchemists, pausing on Qiu Tianduo and Bi Hanmo.

So far, only these two had used True Fire alchemy.

The others all used fuel.

Just from this detail, she knew that in this competition, the ones who truly posed a threat to her were only these two.

The higher one’s alchemy skill, the more they appreciate the importance of True Fire refinement.

Those who can’t even perform True Fire refinement are lagging far behind.

At that moment, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye of someone else approaching the pill furnace.

It was that young man with the flippant demeanor, the so-called Master Long.

Fu Xuelan’s lips curled slightly.

Her brief contact with Long Xiaoshan didn’t give her a good impression.

How could a Master of Alchemy be so negligent and impetuous! Suddenly, Fu Xuelan’s gaze narrowed.

Long Xiaoshan walked to the Pill Furnace, slapped the furnace to open the fire mouth, flicked his fingers, and a dark red flame fell into the Pill Furnace.

The Pill Furnace roared into flames.

He was actually using True Fire for alchemy.

Fu Xuelan revealed a hint of astonishment.

The most difficult part about True Fire Refinement was that it consumed True Qi very quickly, which is why one would need the cultivation of at least a Spirit Master, which means the Fourth Layer of Qi Induction or higher, to sustain it.

The higher-grade the elixir, the higher and deeper the required cultivation.

Fu Xuelan was now at the Fifth Level of Qi Induction.

At her age, possessing such cultivation was already extremely remarkable.

The cultivation techniques of the Xuan Gate were much slower than those of the Martial Dao.

In the venue, only Qiu Tianduo and Bi Hanmo had cultivation comparable to hers.

Could it be that this young man was a Spirit Master?

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

If he had already stepped into the realm of Spirit Master at such a young age, his talent was indeed terrifying.

Fu Xuelan watched Long Xiaoshan closely.

She wanted to see if he was just bluffing.

Long Xiaoshan had already immersed all his concentration in the alchemy, controlling the True Fire.

After pushing the temperature inside the Pill Furnace to his desired level, he threw a herb into it and, pinching the Elixir Formula, continuously manipulated the flames to burn away the impurities from the herb and extract the essence.

Fu Xuelan’s pupils kept contracting.

Long Xiaoshan’s alchemy skills were something she had never seen before.

But the way he controlled the Pill Furnace, handled the True Fire, with such a nonchalant and fluid motion of his fingers, let her know that Long Xiaoshan was not undeserving of his reputation—this kid truly understood alchemy, and his level was very high.

Tang Xiao, who was beside her, saw that Fu Xuelan wasn’t starting her alchemy but kept watching Long Xiaoshan instead.

Being an outsider, he naturally could not discern the intricacies of Long Xiaoshan’s alchemy.

He only knew that Fu Xuelan viewed Long Xiaoshan differently.

A trace of jealousy grew in his heart.

Unable to help himself, he stepped forward to remind her, “Fairy Xuelan, aren’t you going to start?

Everyone else has already started.”

Fu Xuelan uttered an “Oh”, returning to her senses.

She had been so captivated by Long Xiaoshan’s alchemy skills that she had almost forgotten she was in the middle of a competition.

Seeing that the others had already begun, she took a deep breath, dispelling the distracting thoughts Long Xiaoshan introduced.

She walked to the Pill Furnace, her breath and spirit focused, and introduced True Fire.

Suddenly, the only sounds in the entire field aside from the continuously crackling flames from the Pill Furnaces,

were those of utter silence.

Everyone watched intently; many were witnessing alchemists practicing their alchemy for the first time.

As time ticked away, second by second,

suddenly, an alchemist shouted a warning.

Bang!

A loud explosion echoed as a Pill Furnace burst open, sending an alchemist tumbling and rolling across the ground, covered in dust and ash.

This explosion,

affected the other Pill Masters.

Bang!

Bang!

Several more Pill Furnaces shattered.

One alchemist even suffered serious injuries from the explosion, vomiting blood on the spot and was carried away.

The sudden accident caused quite a stir among the crowd.

Instantly, the number of alchemists in the field decreased by four.

Originally there were just over ten alchemists present, and almost half of them were now eliminated.

The remaining alchemists steadied their minds.

This is where slight differences became apparent.

Some alchemists were flustered and seemed panicked, barely managing to stabilize the Pill Furnace.

On the other hand, Qiu Tianduo and Bi Hanmo only showed a slightly serious expression, quickened the movements of their fingers, and got their Pill Furnaces under control.

In the field, there were only two people who didn’t even change their expressions.

As if they hadn’t heard the explosion of the Pill Furnaces at all.

Those two were Fu Xuelan and Long Xiaoshan.
