582.5 Color Dan Lei
Venerable Mingshui raised an eyebrow: "Does Guild Leader Xuanyi still believe Xiao Yan can win? After all, his soul has only just advanced to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, which is a whole minor level below Ling Zhuo. Who can catch up with that gap?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned: "Xiao Yan, from the Heavenly Talent Ranking, had only just advanced to the early stage of the Spirit Realm. At that time, did you all think he could defeat Ling Zhuo head-on?"
"The Heavenly Talent Ranking tests abilities in many areas, but this time it's a genuine competition of alchemy skills!"
"And another thing, Xiao Yan's current state is clearly not right."
"If we can calm down and maintain the quality of the elixir, we might still have a chance to win."
"Of course, if it's about taking action, I don't object." Faced with the questioning, Xuan Yi remained calm and noncommittal: "However, do we really still have time?"
"President Xuan Yi is quick-witted and admirable, but it's a pity that his judgment of people is a bit poor."
Just as Xuan Kongzi was about to make his final decision, a figure appeared from the void—it was none other than the Spirit Clan's Battle Spirit He!
The appearance of a Dou Sheng expert caused a dramatic change in the expressions of everyone in the Pill Tower. Ling He's timing was almost too perfect, and the intimidating presence of a Dou Sheng expert was overwhelming, so much so that the people in the Pill Tower lost their confidence to fight.
Now, with so many elders in the Pill Tower, things have reverted to the state they were in a few months ago. All they can see is Xiao Yan, who isn't actually a member of the Pill Tower, leading the fight against the Spirit Clan on its behalf. They can do nothing but cheer for Xiao Yan in their hearts.
……
After three days of nurturing, the pills in Ling Zhuo's cauldron stabilized. He slammed his right hand heavily on the cauldron, and the sandstorm dragon formed by the Wind Fury Dragon Flame inside the cauldron now had most of its scales peeled off, its originally thick, earthy yellow luster now obscured by a layer of gray. A pill the size of a dragon's eye slowly flew out of the cauldron; this was the final result of Ling Zhuo's hard work.
At the same time the elixir appeared, a massive, earthen-yellow energy beam shot out, soaring straight into the sky. This beam was incredibly terrifying, like a laser piercing through heaven and earth, creating a vast surge of energy as it broke through the heavens.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the enormous pillar of light pierced the sky, and the immense power contained within it caused everyone present to turn pale with shock.
Because all the seventh-grade alchemists had failed in their attempts, the clouds had cleared for quite some time. The commotion caused by Ling Zhuo's single pill was far greater than anything anyone had made before! The once calm sky seemed to be stirred by a giant hand; terrifying energy brewed at the center of the pillar of light, and thick fog immediately began to rise around it. This fog rapidly condensed, forming thunderclouds in a short time.
Even though the power of the thunderclouds was terrifying, the audience didn't even blink. What they cared about most was how many colors of pill lightning Ling Zhuo's pill could trigger!
silver!
blue!
Two colors appeared quickly, and the speed did not slow down at all. The bright and clear red color followed immediately!
At this point, Lingzhuo had achieved the best result among everyone, but the color changes were far from over!
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out across the square, followed by a clamor that filled the sky. Countless eyes focused intently on the scene, and sure enough, after the third color stabilized, a dazzling golden light, like the sun hidden in the clouds, quietly released a ray of golden radiance from within the churning thunderclouds.
Four-Colored Thunderclap!
Although this final golden color wasn't as solid, it was still a genuine four-colored pill lightning.
The two old monsters, Qinghua and Luo Sai, who had been watching from the sidelines with some dissatisfaction over the disruption to their alchemy, exchanged a glance. They both saw a hint of shock and relief in each other's eyes. Judging from Ling Zhuo's current performance, even if they successfully completed their alchemy, they were indeed no match for him!
Looking at the churning thunderclouds in the sky, Ling Zhuo saw little joy, but rather much dissatisfaction. It was true that Wei Jiangyuan's flames were out of control and he couldn't refine pills, but he was indeed affected by Wei Jiangyuan; the quality of the pills was lower than he had originally expected.
At this moment, the four-colored pill lightning put him in a dilemma, because Xiao Yan was still refining it and hadn't stopped. After thinking it over several times, he finally had a glimmer of hope: at this level, it seemed that he could already defeat Xiao Yan.
"Not enough!"
A clear, cold voice suddenly rang in Ling Zhuo's ears, sending a chill down his spine. He was absolutely certain he had heard the voice correctly, and it was quite obvious who could deliver it to his ears when everyone was gathered around.
Ling Zhuo's gaze towards Wei Jiangyuan now held a hint of resentment.
The next moment, he suddenly bit his tongue, and a wisp of emerald-green blood spilled from his lips. His left hand formed an ancient hand seal in front of his chest. Suddenly, a roar like that of a primordial beast resounded from within the cauldron, and the raging wind and dragon flames, carrying Ling Zhuo's blood essence, re-infused into the dark golden pill!
A gasp erupted from the audience; they clearly didn't understand what Ling Zhuo was doing!
"What is Lingzhuo doing?"
"I don't know, but Danlei, look at Danlei!"
"The colors are still increasing; is he going to attempt to break through to the Five-Colored Pill Lightning?"
……
"This is using one's lifeblood to feed the pill, so insane?" Xuan Kongzi's eyes froze. He wasn't unaware of this secret technique, even among the giants of the Pill Tower, but the price alchemists had to pay was simply too high. Even if the pill was successfully formed in the end, the future of the person who refined it could be ruined if they were not careful. Therefore, this mature technique was little known.
Seeing this scene, his heart sank even further. Ling Zhuo's reckless actions meant that the Spirit Clan's desires might be even more serious than he had imagined, so serious that they were willing to disregard the future of their clan's prodigies.
With Ling Zhuo's pills continuing to improve in quality, can Xiao Yan still defeat Ling Zhuo? Even Xuan Kongzi could only admit that it was almost impossible!
The four-colored thunderclouds spun wildly, devouring the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles. A fifth, faint purple thunder pattern began to emerge at the edge of the cloud layer.
"Condense for me!" Ling Zhuo roared, and the lightning in the sky became even more dazzling.
A faint trace of blood appeared on the dark golden pill, and the pillar of light continued to expand rapidly. Finally, the pill lightning in the sky, which had been almost still, showed five distinct colors!
Silver, blue, red, gold, purple!
A genuine five-colored, eighth-grade Dan Lei pill—such a result would make it the undisputed champion in any Dan Competition.
