710: Chapter 710 Shennong the Elder, Seeking Instruction Through Flames

On the Fighting Qi Continent, the ranks of Alchemists are divided from the first grade to the ninth grade, with the first grade being the lowest and the ninth grade being the highest.

A Ninth-Grade Alchemist is known as an Alchemist Grandmaster and is divided into three levels.

Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Grandmaster, Grade 9 Profound Pill Grandmaster, and Golden Core Grandmaster.

A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Grandmaster is something that almost no single force can verify; their alchemical arts have reached the pinnacle, and they are the peak figures among Alchemists.

A Grade 9 Profound Pill Grandmaster is basically the most top-tier existence in the continent's alchemy world, and they are rare in number.

As for Golden Core Grandmasters, Alchemists who have reached this level have already been lost to history.

Going one step further, above the ninth grade, there is the legendary Emperor grade.

The Emperor grade is supreme, unmatched by anyone...

However, for most of the people present, the prelude to the Medicine Ceremony was enviable to watch. The younger generation of Alchemists from the Medicine Clan possessed talent that ordinary Alchemists could hardly reach.

On the stone platforms, every single person was at the level of a sixth-grade Medicinal Pill or even higher.

The spectators were all extremely shocked.

For people like Gu Jiyu, Alchemists of this level were completely meaningless.

Even when the Medicinal Pills appeared on the square, they remained with their eyes closed, resting.

The prelude to the Medicine Ceremony lasted for seven days before gradually coming to an end. Hun Tiandi's gaze was sharp, and he had learned seven or eight out of ten of the Medicine Clan's techniques.

He could see that the Medicine Clan's alchemy techniques had particularly superior aspects. Once the younger generation grew up in the future, the Medicine Clan would maintain an unbroken Foundation.

"Hahaha, the appetizers for the Medicine Ceremony have been eaten, so let's serve the main course!"

Yao Tian slowly stood up, his voice resounding through the sky, and all gazes gathered upon him.

In this Medicine Ceremony, there will be a competition of alchemy techniques between four people, and the final winner will be able to obtain the title of the number one Alchemist on the continent.

"The four of you, please enter the venue and begin..."

"Clan Chief Yao Tian is straightforward. I have long heard that the Medicine Ceremony is the most top-tier gathering of Alchemists on the Fighting Qi Continent. Today, I ask for your guidance..."

"My Gu Clan is interested in this title of the number one Alchemist!"

As soon as Gu Jiyu finished speaking, his figure, like a bolt of golden lightning, was the first to appear on the eastern stone platform.

"Ridiculous. My Medicine Clan is an ancient race that rose through alchemy; this title should remain with us!"

In the distance, Yao Ling's cold voice echoed in everyone's ears. She took a step forward and appeared on the western stone platform, facing Gu Jiyu from afar.

After Yao Ling appeared, the Medicine Clan's morale soared. Naturally, they did not want this golden signboard of the number one Alchemist on the continent to fall into the hands of others.

"Hahaha, since everyone is so interested, then let's begin!"

Ruan Xing sneered, his figure flickered, and he appeared on the southern stone platform.

"Gu Jiyu, Yao Ling, Ruan Xing... all are outstanding figures in the alchemy world whose alchemical arts have reached the pinnacle. This competition will naturally be magnificent."

The surroundings of the square became restless. Countless Alchemists who lacked the strength looked on fanatically, as this was their lifelong pursuit.

"Hahaha, just in time!" Suddenly, a hearty voice rang out. He was dressed in deep green robes, holding a staff that looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs, and the crisp sound of jade bottles colliding hung in the air.

"Old Man Shennong, is it actually him? He is actually still alive."

"Legend has it that he once participated in the Medicine Ceremony, but the title of the number one Alchemist on the continent that year was snatched away by Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan!"

"Senior Shennong coming here makes the Medicine Clan shine with brilliance..." Clan Chief Yao Tian slowly stood up and cupped his hands in a salute.

After speaking, Old Man Shennong moved, landing on the central stone platform, his pressure suppressing the entire venue.

After Old Man Shennong took his place, he swept his gaze over Gu Jiyu, Ruan Xing, and Yao Ling, bowing slightly, fully displaying the demeanor of a Grandmaster.

"Four people have already appeared, and there is still one position left in the north. Who will it be?"

Countless gazes flickered, gathering on the four people. Suddenly, Yao Ling turned her head, and her gaze landed on Hun Tiandi.

Hun Tiandi revealed a wicked smile, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the stone chair.

He landed calmly on the northern stone platform.

"The master of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, does Hun Tiandi actually know alchemy? Why have we never heard of it?"

"In this world, emperors are the best at hiding things. Would they reveal all their methods?"

"I have long heard that Hun Tiandi's strength is not weak, and fighting above his level is commonplace. I just don't know what level his alchemy has reached?"

People all around were discussing it, but Hun Tiandi turned a deaf ear, his sense of mystery maxed out.

Hum!

Gu Jiyu chuckled. With a movement of his sleeves, a brilliant golden flame surged out from his body, condensing into a huge Medicine Cauldron before his eyes, possessing the power to incinerate all things, with unparalleled imperial might.

"Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame?"

It was the Legacy flame of the Gu Clan. Ruan Xing, Old Man Shennong, Yao Ling, and Hun Tiandi's eyes narrowed as they spoke indifferently.

Yao Ling frowned slightly; she naturally knew the power of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.

Hmph!

Ruan Xing snorted coldly and opened his mouth, spitting out a silver-white flame filled with an illusory holy light, condensing a giant silver-white cauldron before him, emitting an arrogant aura.

"Taixu Sacred Fire!"

Old Man Shennong exclaimed. As a veteran in the alchemy world, he knew that besides the twenty-three strange fires on the strange fire ranking list of the Fighting Qi Continent, there were many other miraculous flames capable of destroying heaven and earth hidden in the world.

The Taixu Sacred Fire was possessed by the Taixu Holy Land and was a strange fire that was not on the list.

Ruan Xing looked at the shock of the four people and felt very proud in his heart.

Roar...

A cyan flame emerged around Yao Ling, appearing like crystalline glazed glass, incomparably pure, condensing into a huge Medicine Cauldron before her.

The cyan flame was like glazed glass, with purifying abilities.

"Heavenly Cyan Glazed Fire?"

This was a strange fire that Yao Ling had found in a desolate land after the Medicine Clan was rebuilt and she had left the Medicine Clan to travel across the continent.

It took her five years, enduring countless dangers, to refine it and make it her own.

"Interesting. Heavenly Cyan Glazed Fire? Now it is time for this old man to show his incompetence..."

Old Man Shennong glanced at Yao Ling's strange fire, and a trace of greed flashed quickly in his eyes. He had once possessed a strange fire as well.

The Living Spirit Flame, ranked fifth on the strange fire ranking list?

It was a pity that it was later taken away by Xiao Yan. For an Alchemist, a strange fire is life; it is everything.

He had also searched every corner of the continent, wanting to find a strange fire of heaven and earth, but unfortunately, he did not have Yao Ling's luck.

He could only settle for the next best thing and found a type of Earth Core Fire.

"Earth Dragon Soul Fire!"

It was a superior type of Earth Core Fire, which fell into the earth's core at an ancient battlefield where countless living beings had perished and the earth dragon had turned over.

Under the high temperature and high pressure of the underground environment, countless Soul fires and earth vein Qi merged into a special type of Soul fire.

This fire possessed great attack power, especially Soul attacks.

After two strange fires and one earth fire appeared, the gazes of the four people fell upon Hun Tiandi.

The four were curious: what kind of flame would he possess?

"A strange fire? It is unlikely. Most of these flames nurtured by heaven and earth possess destructive power. Even if one can find them, it is not certain that one can successfully refine them and make them one's own."

"Kid, take out your flame! Even if it is a Fighting Qi flame, there is nothing shameful about it!"

Gu Jiyu mocked.

Hun Tiandi's gaze was calm, and he spoke indifferently: "Since everyone is so curious, then I will let you see it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, streams of dark blue flames surged out. The moment the mysterious flame appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth dropped sharply.

Snowflakes were even drifting in the sky.

The rich energy of heaven and earth on the square was frozen...

"Taiyin True Fire, a flame of extreme cold!"

"This is... what a terrifying extreme cold temperature?"

"Dark blue? Extreme cold temperature? There is no corresponding strange fire on the strange fire ranking list. Bone Chilling Flame possesses extreme cold and extreme heat, but its color is grayish-white? Sea Heart Flame is water blue, but it does not possess the power of extreme cold?"

"Could it be that he has found a new strange fire?"

The people on the square were all extremely shocked, with some feeling envious and others greedy...

Especially Gu Jiyu and Old Man Shennong...

Hun Tiandi gripped his hand, and a hundred-foot-tall flood dragon Medicine Cauldron landed on the stone platform with a boom. It emitted a low dragon roar, and then he flicked his finger, and the Taiyin True Fire entered the Medicine Cauldron.

Only then did the extreme cold temperature in the sky weaken significantly.
