281: The final winner!

Hun Xuzi's face was ashen, his eyes flickering with furious flames, but in the end, he was helpless.

This wave was a loss!

He gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Forget it!"

Hun Xuzi cursed under his breath, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Although Gu Fei had taken a portion of his Void Devouring Flame Sub-fire, he couldn't give up now!

"Fortunately."

"Most of the energy in the two old fellows' cauldrons has already been plundered by me."

Hun Xuzi scanned his surroundings, his gaze sweeping over Old Man Shennong's and Yao Wanhuo's cauldrons, a cold, sinister smile playing on his lips.

Like this, there's a chance!

Hun Xuzi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He looked down at his cauldron, only to see golden light shimmering within, the nascent form of a Medicinal Pill already appearing.

"With this energy, it's enough!"

With that, Hun Xuzi formed hand seals and began to fully display his Alchemy skills.

Inside the cauldron, energy surged, and a golden Medicinal Pill prototype floated within.

The surrounding spectators held their breath, their eyes fixed on Hun Xuzi's cauldron.

Even some Alchemy Grandmasters couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It seems Hun Xuzi is going to succeed!"

"I didn't expect him to be able to refine the prototype of a Grade 9 Profound Pill in such a short time!"

"This Hun Xuzi's Alchemy is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Gasps of astonishment rose from the crowd.

If Hun Xuzi could truly succeed in refining a Grade 9 Profound Pill...

Then he would become the only person present to accomplish this feat.

This also meant that he would claim the title of the number one Alchemist in the world!!!

A fervent gleam flashed in Hun Xuzi's eyes.

This was the goal he had strived for his entire life!

Thinking of finally achieving his wish...

He couldn't help but get excited, and his movements became even swifter.

However, at this moment, Gu Fei encountered trouble.

"It's still not enough!"

Gu Fei's brows were tightly furrowed. Feeling the thin Qi of heaven and earth around him, he felt anxious. He looked around and found that he could no longer absorb more energy from heaven and earth.

Just as Gu Fei was at a loss...

His gaze suddenly fell on Hun Xuzi's cauldron.

In an instant, a bold idea flashed through his mind.

"That's right!"

Gu Fei's eyes lit up, a cunning smile gracing his lips.

Xiao Ying!

This time, I'll have to rely on you!

Gu Fei silently chanted to Xiao Ying in his mind.

The next moment, a scene that caught everyone off guard unfolded.

Xiao Ying's figure suddenly vanished from her spot, and when she reappeared, she was already above the black cauldron in front of the Void Swallowing Flame.

The small flame infant was agile and moved as swiftly as lightning.

"What?"

Hun Xuzi's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

He never expected Gu Fei to actually target him at such a time!

Is there no end to this?!

Didn't he just swallow a part of my unique flame!!!

However, before Hun Xuzi could react, Xiao Ying had already swiftly opened the lid of the cauldron. A trace of cunning flashed in her lava-like eyes, and then she swallowed the nascent pill inside in one gulp!

"You're courting death!"

Hun Xuzi went completely mad.

How much effort had he poured into that nascent pill?

Hun Xuzi's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his face, like a rampaging beast.

He roared, and slammed a palm towards Xiao Ying.

However, Xiao Ying was exceptionally nimble and easily dodged Hun Xuzi's attack.

Her small figure arced gracefully through the air, finally landing steadily on Gu Fei's shoulder.

This happened so quickly that the surrounding spectators didn't even react.

When they realized what had happened, a huge uproar broke out.

"Oh my god! Gu Fei actually..."

"He, he snatched Hun Xuzi's Medicinal Pill!"

A chorus of exclamations erupted from the crowd, completely unexpected that Gu Fei would pull such a stunt.

Meanwhile, in the VIP seats, Xiao Yi Xian and Caier couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Well done, Xiao Ying!"

Xiao Yi Xian clapped her hands in praise.

However, Hun Xuzi was not in such a good mood.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a violent Qi emanated from his entire body, like an erupting volcano.

"Give me back the nascent pill!"

Hun Xuzi roared.

The next moment, Hun Xuzi's figure flashed, and he charged directly towards Gu Fei.

Although Gu Fei was not afraid of Hun Xuzi...

If a battle were to break out now, it would undoubtedly affect the refining of the Medicinal Pill.

Just as he was preparing to respond...

Two figures suddenly blocked Gu Fei's path.

It was Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo!

"Hun Xuzi, you are a bit too overbearing!"

Old Man Shennong snorted coldly.

"It seems this old man can't just sit by and do nothing either!"

Yao Wanhuo also said.

The two Alchemy Grandmasters acted simultaneously, and in an instant, the world changed color.

Old Man Shennong conjured the Living Spirit Flame, while Yao Wanhuo activated the Nine Nether Wind Flame. The two top-tier unique flames intertwined in the air, forming an indestructible flame barrier.

Although Hun Xuzi's Void Devouring Flame Sub-fire was powerful, facing the combined forces of the two unique flames, he was unable to Breakthrough them in a short time.

The three unique flames collided in the air, erupting in deafening roars, and the entire square trembled violently.

In this earth-shattering confrontation, Gu Fei gained a much-needed respite. With Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo's obstruction, he could finally refine the Medicinal Pill with peace of mind.

However, Fusion of two different medicinal properties was not easy.

Gu Fei looked down at the cauldron, only to see golden light and black Qi intertwined within, clearly indicating that the two medicinal properties were repelling each other.

If this continues...

The small flame infant jumped into the cauldron and began to exert its miraculous purification ability.

Xiao Ying's ability was indeed Heaven-Defying!

Under Xiao Ying's influence, the Impurities in Hun Xuzi's nascent pill were removed one by one, leaving only the pure energy.

Gu Fei focused on controlling this process, beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead.

Fusion of two different medicinal properties was also a huge challenge for him.

However, even so, Gu Fei still felt that the energy was somewhat insufficient.

Gu Fei frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

"Little friend Gu Fei, today this old man will form a good connection. Don't waste so much energy!"

Just then, an old but powerful voice came.

Gu Fei looked up and saw Old Man Shennong wave his palm. A brilliant green light cluster flew out from his cauldron, heading straight for Gu Fei.

The light cluster contained rich vitality, clearly the remaining energy in Old Man Shennong's cauldron.

"Little friend Gu Fei, this old man will also contribute a share of strength!"

Immediately after, Yao Wanhuo also emulated Old Man Shennong.

With that, another blue light cluster flew towards Gu Fei.

The actions of the two Alchemy Grandmasters undoubtedly surprised everyone present.

One must know that this was precious energy for refining a Grade 9 Profound Pill!

Was it just given away so easily?

However, upon closer thought, the actions of the two old men were not without reason.

Helping Gu Fei at this time was, to some extent, an investment.

After all, Gu Fei, at such a young age, had achieved so much, and his future prospects were boundless.

If they could form a good connection, it would also be a good thing for them.
