Chapter 251: Heavenly Heart

Wiping the black substance off his face, revealing two pitch-black eyes, the young boy stared longingly at his treasured alchemy furnace, which now showed cracks.

After a while, the boy walked away dejectedly. The furnace was damaged, and his soul force was injured, causing him to lose confidence in subsequent alchemy.

After nearly an hour, auspicious clouds swirled around Yang Tian's furnace. A pool of liquid medicine shimmered with precious light, and a rich medicinal fragrance overflowed.

Pursing his dry lips, Yang Tian changed his hand seals. Blood energy surged within him, and a fierce energy struck the furnace.

The crimson furnace blazed with intense red light. The exotic beasts engraved on its surface came to life, spewing flames that descended into the furnace.

The internal temperature rose, and the Thunder Dragon's body grew more solid. For refining a third-grade pill, a single flame mouth sufficed.

"Sizzle..." The pool of liquid medicine twisted as scorching waves of fire continuously refined it. Meanwhile, Yang Tian's soul force burst forth, constantly kneading the liquid.

Thunder surged, and the violent energy within the liquid medicine dissipated rapidly upon encountering the destructive intent of the purple lightning.

Every drop of liquid medicine was crystal clear, radiating precious light. With the power of the Thunder Origin, the speed of kneading increased greatly.

From time to time, the sound of furnaces exploding came from the field. Of the nearly thousand people, more than half had already left. Several with severe conditions were carried out directly.

Two hours had passed in the third round of elimination. The entire open area was filled with drifting medicinal fragrance. These fragrances gathered in the void, quickly forming a long river—a spectacular sight.

Hundreds of genius alchemists were refining pills together. Each was extremely proud and renowned in their own domain, yet now they faced immense pressure.

"Hah!" At that moment, a sharp cry rang out across the field, causing many people's minds to tremble slightly.

This time, Tianxin and Danchen almost simultaneously struck their furnaces. As the lids lifted, towering flames shot into the sky, even burning through the clouds.

Two pills complemented each other, rising slowly. The medicinal power they emitted was very pure. The pills were round and contained essence—high-quality pills.

"Clang!" At that moment, another furnace lid opened. Many people reflexively turned their gazes. When they saw Dan Xueyi and Dan Xiaoxiao still immersed in alchemy, a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

"It's him...?" Someone was startled and exclaimed. It was the youth they had thought was showing off earlier, who now became the third to complete a pill.

"How is that possible? This broken furnace can also refine pills?" Someone seemed unable to believe their eyes and shouted. Generally, when a furnace cracks, much of the medicinal power is lost, and the success rate drops significantly.

Sensing someone had completed a pill, Danchen turned his gaze and looked at the somewhat familiar face. He murmured, "It's him. This guy is no simpleton—he's even better than Sister."

A dark horse emerged, drawing many people's attention and winning applause. Some great families even prepared high-quality furnaces to win over Yang Tian. Such a poor person could also refine pills, indicating extremely high talent.

The pill was full of charm, swirling with auspicious clouds, slowly rising into the air. Under the petrified gazes of the onlookers, a dragon-shaped flame mouth bloomed with purple thunder, emitting a destructive aura, and actually spewed pill fire.

"What a strange flame control technique—he can actually control lightning!"

"Could this be a mutated flame? But how does he use this flame control technique? How strange."

Many were discussing, surprise in their eyes. Lightning represents destruction—how could it refine pills?

"Isn't this the Thunder Dragon Flame Control Technique? Wasn't it lost? How did it fall into Yang Tian's hands?" Sensing Yang Tian's condensation of the Thunder Dragon flame mouth, Yuan Xia murmured in disbelief.

Clang! Someone else opened their furnace. A cyan light like jade struck the sky, with scorching heat rising. Qin Shi looked at the pill in the void, then frowned slightly.

"What is this? Such strange pill fire..." Seeing many eyes fixed on the Thunder Dragon flame mouth, Qin Shi pursed his dry lips and exclaimed in surprise.

Tianxin cast a cold gaze at Yang Tian, a flicker of killing intent flashing by. He sensed that the pill fire gave him an uncomfortable feeling, stirring restlessness within him.

Though fleeting, that icy gaze did not escape Yang Tian's eyes. He turned back and looked at the black-clad youth not far away, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Keep your head safe. I'll come for it in two days. Don't lose it." Seeing Yang Tian's confused look, a cold smile curled on Tianxin's face, and a voice exploded in Yang Tian's ear.

Hearing this, Yang Tian's face gradually turned cold. He looked into Tianxin's eyes. Their eyes met, and both grinned fiercely. An undisguised killing intent bloomed in the void.

At their first clash, the surrounding atmosphere froze. Danchen's gaze swept over Yang Tian, nodding with some appreciation. The earlier scene had not escaped his eyes; Tianxin had provoked first.

This mysterious youth showed no fear, earning Danchen's respect. Even in the Central Continent, few forces dared to provoke the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and even the Alchemy Dao Alliance was slightly weaker.

"Danchen, don't think that just because we finished refining pills at the same time, you can be complacent. Tomorrow is your death day!" Tianxin turned to look at Danchen and sneered.

"Heh, don't blow your own trumpet. Don't end up unable to even beat that friend." Tilting his head slightly, Danchen looked at Tianxin's cold face, shrugged, and said lightly.

"Haha... ridiculous..." Tianxin laughed disdainfully, pointing at Yang Tian, and mocked, "If I can't even beat this soon-to-be-dead man, I'll take a detour whenever I see you from now on."

"Idiot..." Just as Danchen was about to reply, a faint voice suddenly rang in their ears. Danchen's face froze for a moment, then turned interesting.

Tianxin's face instantly darkened, his fists cracking. The few people around Danchen looked dumbfounded. This Tianxin was a hot contender for the title, with immense power, and even the super forces of the Eastern Continent dared not provoke him easily.

Danchen and Dan Xueyi exchanged glances, worry in their eyes. They knew Tianxin's character well—ruthless and decisive. Many who offended him were tortured beyond death.

"Stop!" A cold shout rang through the field. Tianxin's icy gaze swept over Yang Tian, a ferocious killing intent undisguised on his face.

A sudden change occurred. Everyone's gaze shifted to the mysterious youth, and they thought to themselves that Tianxin was bold enough to disrupt the order of the Alchemy Conference, seemingly about to make a move.

"What's wrong with that kid? Daring to provoke the Heavenly Dao Alliance." On the palace, Meng Yunxi frowned slightly. Such a force—even their Meng family dared not offend, and even had to humble themselves!

"Not good!" Shan Qu's face changed drastically. He knew well the terror of the Alchemy Dao Alliance. Though established only a hundred years, its internal experts were countless.

"Shut up, you little brat!" Sensing Shan Qu's agitation, the middle-aged man glared with eyes like copper bells and bellowed.
