Chen Li watched as the Crimson Fire Dragon roared toward him, a cold smile rising in his eyes. This short and stout alchemist really thought too highly of himself!
Just as the fire dragon was about to crash into his Golden Flame, the flames in Chen Li's hand began to change colors rapidly. Gold turned to Crimson, Crimson shifted to orange, and orange morphed into yellow. In the blink of an eye, the colors transformed into purple.
All the hues were as dazzling as a rainbow, carrying an overwhelming pressure that made hearts race. Finally, the flames settled into a deep purple-gold color, radiating a suffocating heat. The approaching Crimson flames instantly shrank back like a mouse confronted by a cat, extinguishing without leaving even a spark behind.
The smug expression on the Short and Stout Alchemist's face froze, replaced by sheer shock and disbelief. How could this be possible? He cried out in horror, his plump face filled with terror. His proud Crimson flames had been so easily frightened into extinction?!
Chen Li sneered as the Purple Gold Flame in his hand rolled and transformed into a nimble fire serpent that surged directly toward the Short and Stout Alchemist. Using his own methods against him!
Chen Li's voice was icy, laced with mockery. The Short and Stout Alchemist had no time to react before the purple-gold flames enveloped him. He let out a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig as his robes turned to ash, revealing his fat, greasy belly.
Ah! My elixirs! The Short and Stout Alchemist suddenly remembered his precious potions and looked at the Dan Furnace in panic. Unfortunately, it was too late. His Spiritual Flame dissipated, and combined with Chen Li's terrifying Purple Gold Flame, the elixirs he had painstakingly crafted were reduced to nothing but ash. Even the Dan Furnace glowed red hot, on the verge of melting.
Ash covered the Short and Stout Alchemist's pockmarked face, transforming him into a figure resembling a blackened coal head. He rolled on the ground in desperation, trying to extinguish the flames on his body while emitting continuous wails of agony.
My face! My elixirs! My Dan Furnace! The Short and Stout Alchemist cried out like a plucked fat pig.
The surrounding Alchemists were left dumbfounded, their eyes wide with disbelief. They had thought Chen Li was merely a novice Alchemist but were astonished to discover he could control the coveted Spiritual Flame that all Alchemists coveted. He could even manipulate its level at will.
Such talent was simply terrifying! No wonder Xuanjizi had stopped them from approaching earlier and insisted they stay back to watch the spectacle unfold.
Yue Shan stood frozen in place, his hand clutching the herbs stiffly, his mouth slightly agape as if forming a word. At that moment, realization dawned upon him. No wonder Chen Li insisted on switching places with him! It turned out that Chen Li was seeking revenge on his behalf!
Among the crowd, even the usually composed Xuanjizi displayed a look of surprise. He watched Chen Li with keen interest, excitement gleaming in his eyes, barely concealed. This kid was truly hiding his talents!
No! No! I must build a good relationship with him and take him as my disciple! In the future, within the Qian Sheng Empire, perhaps I could achieve lasting fame through my disciple!
Unaware of the tumultuous emotions swirling around him, Chen Li quietly extinguished the flames and then clapped his hands, disdainfully eyeing the Short and Stout Alchemist rolling on the ground. How dare he come out and embarrass himself over such a trivial matter?
"You—" The Short and Stout Alchemist pointed at Chen Li, speechless with rage.
"What about me? It's your lack of skill that's to blame. Who can you blame?" Chen Li raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on his face.
"Just wait! I won't let you off!" The Short and Stout Alchemist never expected to be hoisted by his own petard and could only grit his teeth in frustration.
"Oh? I'll be waiting." Chen Li shrugged nonchalantly and turned back to continue refining his pills.
The Purple Gold Flame in his hand ignited once more, this time burning more steadily and purely. The surrounding Alchemists held their breath, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Chen Li. They were all eager to see what kind of elixir this young man could produce.
As seconds ticked by, Chen Li's movements flowed seamlessly without a hint of hesitation. Gradually, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs began to waft through the air.
This fragrance was invigorating, lifting spirits with its essence. "This is the scent of a high-grade Xuan-level elixir!" one Alchemist exclaimed in astonishment.
"High-grade Xuan-level? How is that possible? How old is he?" another Alchemist said incredulously.
Xuanjizi abruptly halted his actions and rushed towards the city. "No, it’s not just high-grade; it’s an exceptional Xuan-level!"
As an Alchemist himself, Xuanjizi's voice trembled slightly with excitement. The commotion quickly drew the attention of others nearby. Even the Short and Stout Alchemist ceased his wailing, staring incredulously at Chen Li.
He never expected that this kid, whom Young Master had always looked down upon and targeted, could actually refine a top-grade Xuan-level pill!
At that moment, the Dan Furnace in Chen Li's hand emitted a soft chime, and an even richer fragrance of the pill instantly filled the air. Chen Li slowly opened the Dan Furnace, revealing a pill radiating Seven-Colored Radiance, quietly resting inside.
Chen Li's lips curled into a faint smile. This pill was none other than the top-grade Breaking Barrier Pill! It was something his sister wanted, and he had to prioritize its refinement.
At this moment, the surrounding Alchemists were in an uproar, each eager to catch a glimpse of this legendary Xuan Gang top-grade pill. After all, it was rare for a pill to excite even the long-established chief Alchemist of the Imperial Academy, Xuanjizi.
Even Xuanjizi couldn't easily refine such a top-grade pill.
Let me see! Let me see!
Oh my! The Breaking Barrier Pill!
In stark contrast to the excitement of the other Alchemists, the Short and Chubby Alchemist looked at the Breaking Barrier Pill in Chen Li's hand with eyes full of jealousy and resentment.
This kid actually managed to refine it! He never imagined that his underhanded tactics would backfire. Not only did he fail to ruin Chen Li's pill, but he also completely turned his own nearly refined pill to ashes.
Earlier, in an attempt to show off, he had specifically chosen the high-grade Xuan-level Blood Spirit Pill, adding the essence of a Third-Stage Monster and a stalk of Azure Blood Spirit Grass. Just thinking about it made him feel pain.
Just then, Chen, who had been observing the situation, approached with a dark expression.
"What’s going on?" Chen frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene.
"Young Master," the Short and Stout Alchemist pointed at Chen Li, wanting to report him.
However, before he could finish, Chen interrupted him.
"Shut up!" Zhao Tianyu shot a cold glance at the Short and Stout Alchemist. "What an embarrassment!"
Then he turned to Chen Li with a friendly demeanor and said, "Chen Li, we share the same father and blood ties. The earlier misunderstandings can be set aside. How about we work together as brothers and refine pills together?"
