Chapter 250: Returning Spring Pill

As the Grand Elder's words fell, most of the remaining nine hundred or so people's faces changed slightly. A third-grade pill was extremely difficult for these greenhorns who had just stepped onto the path of alchemy.

People nearby also discussed among themselves. A third-grade alchemist under twenty was already worth courting by many major powers. Such a genius alchemist had a certain chance of advancing to a high-grade alchemist in the future.

"Can this little fellow do it?" Yuan Xia looked at Yang Tian's calm expression, her brows slightly furrowed. Over these days, she had learned about Yang Tian's situation. He had only been cultivating for a few years. If he could refine a third-grade pill, his talent would be truly heaven-defying.

Some alchemy masters around also wanted to see how Yang Tian would refine a pill using Thunderfire, a mutated flame.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Tian murmured to himself, "Returning Spring Pill is a healing pill, not too difficult. But the requirements of the Medicine Valley are really high. No wonder it's a power passed down from ancient times."

"Young master, here are your medicinal herbs." A petite girl handed about a dozen herbs to Yang Tian.

"Thank you." Nodding, Yang Tian took the herbs from the girl. He now had a considerable success rate for refining third-grade high-level pills, and for low-level ones, it reached seventy to eighty percent.

"Young master, go for it!" Seeing Yang Tian's gentle face, the girl raised her fist and said with a grin.

"Little girl, I'll take your good wishes." Yang Tian grinned and smiled, watching the girl leave.

As some people in the field began preparing to refine pills, the maids on the open ground withdrew one after another. This competition would eliminate more than half of the participants.

Yang Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, observed the pill formula for Returning Spring Pill for a while, then closed his eyes. In his mind, he simulated the process of refining the pill. This was a method Yang Xiao had taught him, allowing him to deduce the refining steps and reduce the chance of failure.

Many people in the field started moving, looking as if every second counted. Five hours was too short; if they failed once, the second attempt would be extremely difficult.

Some who had been hiding their abilities took out their prepared pill furnaces. After all, a third-grade pill was no simple matter.

Everyone in the field began to act. Flames and light surged into the sky, even burning the clouds. The colorful spectacle gave a visual impact.

As these people moved, some noticed that Yang Tian was like a statue, seemingly entering some strange state, with a peculiar luster spreading around him.

"Why isn't that guy moving? Is he up to some trick?"

"Who knows? Is he asleep?" a big man suddenly shouted, making those around him roll their eyes. Falling asleep at the Alchemy Convention? Wasn't that a joke?

At the very top of the palace, a figure shrouded in golden mist fixed his gaze on Yang Tian, somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect anyone still knew this deduction method. I thought it had been lost."

"Heh, this deduction method is indeed rare. This little fellow is interesting." Beside the illusory old man were two elders from the Alchemy Dao Alliance, one of whom spoke with a smile.

"Indeed. Even the Medicine Valley only has incomplete methods of this inheritance." The illusory old man said faintly, with a hint of sigh. The Medicine Valley, which had passed down its heritage for hundreds of thousands of years, was now in decline.

"For this kid to obtain the Thunder Origin is already an incredible fortune. And his flame control technique seems to be the unique hand seal of the ancient alchemist Dan Xuanzi. Unexpectedly, he got it."

The illusory old man murmured to himself. He saw through Yang Tian's flame control technique at a glance, and even saw through his concealment method. Although Yang Tian's Heaven-Changing Earth-Shifting technique was very clever, how could it deceive an Emperor-level expert?

"I wonder what shameful thing he did to hide his face?" The old man hidden in the clouds had a hint of surprise in his eyes. If he hadn't observed carefully, he wouldn't have noticed Yang Tian's disguise.

"Blood energy like a dragon, an astonishing physical body. This kid is really interesting. Could he be that Yang Tian who caused such a stir recently?" At this moment, the figure shrouded in mist muttered to himself.

At this time, a white-robed old man's lips twitched, and he couldn't help asking, "Dan Lao, were the people who attacked yesterday from the Demon Race?"

Hearing this, the illusory old man shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure either, but their aura is very similar to records. It's hard to determine if they are them. But these damned things certainly haven't been exterminated. The demonic creatures suppressed in the Dan Fire Domain haven't been eliminated yet. Their survivability is terrifying."

"If it really is them, are they after the demonic creatures suppressed beneath the Dan Fire Domain?"

"Heh, with Fire Ancestor himself in the Dan Fire Domain, unless these damned things send a True Demon, otherwise... no way!" Dan Lao sneered.

"Heh, with Fire Ancestor's heaven-reaching abilities, he can indeed suppress these demons. Then we can rest assured." The two elders beside him showed a trace of joy and smiled slightly.

In the field, after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yang Tian slowly opened his eyes when he finished deducing the final step.

"Uh..." At this moment, Yang Tian noticed the strange looks around him. He scratched his head. The deduction method he had just used was a popular technique in ancient times, but now people were looking at him like that.

Yang Tian pouted, quickly opened his pill furnace, and threw in a Returning Spring herb.

Chi chi! Flames splashed, streaks of red light swirled. Yang Tian formed hand seals. Although third-grade pills were not too difficult for him, Yang Xiao had instructed him to always deduce the steps no matter what pill he refined.

Yang Tian's movements were smooth and fluid, without any hesitation. His fingers danced, and streams of red light poured down, giving an artistic beauty, as if a rain of red was falling.

The big man who had earlier declared Yang Tian asleep instantly turned bright red, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

"This guy, why does he love showing off so much?" Looking at Yang Tian, Meng Yunxi pouted and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"My goodness, Yang Tian really has skills. No wonder he's my brother." Xing Hao was full of excitement, muttering to himself.

"Brother Yang is amazing! He can refine third-grade pills!" Yun'er's eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and she giggled inwardly.

Thunderlight surged, layers of purple flames swept over the herbs. The refining speed was very fast, and crystalline medicinal liquid began to drip.

Yang Tian slowly closed his eyes, his soul power surging out. At this moment, his soul power, when fully exerted, could detect an area of several thousand zhang.

The first Returning Spring herb took Yang Tian about the time of a cup of tea. Then he threw the next herb into the furnace for slow refinement.

"Look, that kid refined the Returning Spring herb so quickly."

"Yeah, is he just showing off? How can he be so fast?"

People around discussed. Yang Tian's refining speed just now could rival Dan Chen and Tian Xin. However, his pill furnace was inferior. Given the strength of their furnaces, the internal temperature must be terrifying.

"Thunderfire is indeed marvelous. It seems his ability to swallow lightning tribulation is due to the Thunder Origin." On the palace, Dan Lao pondered, attributing Yang Tian's feat of swallowing lightning to the Thunder Origin.

"So young, yet he controls flame techniques so skillfully. It seems he has a master." Dan Lao murmured. He was very interested in this youth who had comprehended the Invincible Intent. Most crucially, he had entered the Fallen Demon Land!

Just as Yang Tian was immersed in alchemy, a sudden explosion sounded nearby. Yang Tian was startled and moved his gaze to a scene of blazing flames not far away.

"Unlucky guy..." Seeing the youth with smoke rising from his head, Yang Tian pouted. That was the result of a furnace explosion.
