Chapter 282: The World's Greatest Alchemist!
With the full support of Elder Shen Nong and Yao Wanhuo, Gu Fei finally gathered enough energy.
Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and formed seals with his hands. The flames within the cauldron flared up!
The energy fluctuations in the air grew increasingly intense. Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Gu Fei's fire cauldron.
Such a scene was unprecedented across the continent!
Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin watched, both nervous and excited. They knew well that this was a huge opportunity for him. If he succeeded in refining a Tier Nine Mysterious Pill, he would undoubtedly become the most renowned alchemist on the continent!
He would truly be the number one alchemist in the world!
"Please bless my husband.." whispered Xiao Yi Xian.
"Yes, with the help of these two elders, I believe he will definitely succeed," Cai Lin added, a smile curling at her lips.
Grateful for the two elders' assistance, he acknowledged that whether or not they had ulterior motives, their help had alleviated his immediate crisis.
"Thank you, Elders. I will remember this favor!" Gu Fei called out to them.
With no more delay, he quickly injected two medicinal spheres into Xiao Ying's body. Instantly, two vast beams of light shot from Xiao Ying's mouth and into the cauldron.
As this immense energy flowed in, a peculiar change occurred inside the cauldron. A tiny point of light began to form, emitting a pulse that caused everyone to tremble.
"Boom!"
The moment that small light appeared, the once-clear sky darkened. Thick clouds gathered, casting a shadow over the entire land, as if the end of days had arrived.
Black lightning danced through the clouds, charged with destructive power. Deep rumbles of thunder echoed, shaking the hearts of those present. Many people wore expressions of terror, having never witnessed such a terrifying sight.
As the lid of his cauldron slowly opened, an overwhelming medicinal fragrance filled the air. The scent was so potent that it seemed tangible, coalescing into pearl-like beads of different colors, descending from the sky like a magnificent rain of pills!
Such a miraculous sight left the alchemists in awe, their hearts trembling at the spectacle. Some even knelt, offering prayers to the heavens!
"The pill rain descends, the Mysterious Pill is born!"
"How many years has it been since a Mysterious Pill was last seen in this world?"
"Gu Fei, oh Gu Fei, what a pity you are not part of our Yao Clan..." The patriarch of the Medicine Clan, sighed deeply, his eyes flashing with a complicated emotion.
As the clan leader, he knew well what this pill rain signified- this phenomenon only occurred when a Tier Nine Mysterious Pill was successfully refined.
The other alchemists had also heard of this legend, and seeing it now, their faces were filled with shock. They realized that today would go down in history, becoming a famous story in the world of alchemy.
"It's a success!" Gu Fei's face lit up with joy, his eyes gleaming. As an alchemist, there was no one who didn't seek fame, and today, he had achieved it in front of a captivated audience, refining the Tier Nine Mysterious Pill and earning an enormous amount of emotional value. Ding! Yao Dan felt admiration, envy, jealousy, and melancholy. Emotional value +10 Ding! Shennong Elder felt amazement and satisfaction. Emotional value +15
Ding! Wanhuo felt shock and respect. Emotional value +12
The system's notifications continuously rang out, filling him with joy. This harvest was unprecedented.
However, the birth of the Mysterious Pill was not without challenges. After the pill rain ended, a great lightning storm suddenly descended!
"Boom!"
A massive black lightning bolt crashed down, aiming directly at the newly formed pill. Unlike other pills, a Mysterious Pill had to face a tribulation, which it must endure on its own. Only by surviving the tribulation could it truly develop its powerful medicinal properties. Everyone held their breath, nervously watching the scene unfold. Even Gu Fei's expression was serious. Although he had confidence in the Mysterious Pill he had refined, no one could take the threat of heavenly tribulations lightly.
Fortunately, the crystalline pill was filled with energy. It emitted a dazzling light, forming an invisible barrier which blocked the violent lightning strikes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but they could not penetrate the barrier.
After what seemed like half an hour, the lightning gradually subsided. With the final thunderbolt dissipating, an overwhelming medicinal fragrance filled the sky. The scent swirled in the air, forming various herbs, painting an extraordinary scene in the heavens.
"Whoosh!"
Just as everyone was mesmerized by the heavenly phenomenon, a sudden flash of light streaked across the sky. It was so fast that it darted out of the mountain before anyone could
react.
Trailing behind it was a thick stream of pill fragrance, leaving a long trail in the air.
"That's the Tier Nine Mysterious Pill!"
"It's trying to escape!"
As soon as that light appeared, the entire Medicine Mountain erupted in excitement. Countless people stood up, their gazes fervently fixed on the streaking figure, with greed flickering in their eyes.
In the face of such temptation, few could remain calm. Some high-level alchemists even prepared to seize it.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, a cold snort filled with overwhelming pressure echoed, instantly quelling the crowd's ambition.
The eager alchemists immediately came to their senses, breaking into a cold sweat. How could they forget that this was the property of the Gu Clan's young leader? Who would dare
challenge him?
Besides, even in terms of raw strength, who could confidently say they could defeat Gu Fei, aside from the Yao Clan leader, Yao Dan?
Seeing no one willing to fight him, Gu Fei swiftly chased after the pill. However, just as he was about to catch it, something unexpected occurred.
The Mysterious Pill suddenly glowed intensely, transforming into a naked, stunning woman!
Her skin was as white as snow, and her beauty was breathtaking. She gazed at him with pitiful eyes, full of pleading.
"What... what is happening?" Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin, witnessing this strange scene, were filled with astonishment.
Neither of them had ever seen anything like this before- a newly formed pill transforming into a human. And what was more bizarre was the unsettling feeling that arose within them.
It was as if this pill was trying to seduce their husband, an utterly absurd situation! (TL/n: Sorry for the late release guys. I bought Black Myth: Wukong during the weekend and I
just can't stop playing it..
