Chapter 150 Taking the Lead!

Before the crowd could recover, two more bolts of Pill Lightning struck down.

Pill Lightning!

This was the heaven and earth phenomenon that only appeared when an Eighth Grade Pill was created!

As the Disciple with the greatest Alchemy talent in the Dan Family, Dan Chen's Alchemy skills were known to everyone in the Pill Tower, and the two-colored Pill Lightning that followed was caused by her.

Xuan Kongzi nodded approvingly, then looked at Cao Ying, who had summoned the last bolt of Pill Lightning.

She was known as the "Demoness," and the Eighth Grade Pill she refined directly summoned three-colored Pill Lightning. Although the three-colored thunderclouds were faint, they undoubtedly symbolized her strength.

Perhaps because the best surprises are saved for last, the crowd shifted their gaze to Gu He, who had been the first to successfully refine his pill.

The thundercloud he condensed gathered more slowly, but it was also much denser.

A wave of Qi surged into the sky.

Three, four, five... six!

The crowd looked up, and it was actually a six-colored thundercloud!

The first six thunderclouds were extremely deep in color, and although the sixth thundercloud was a bit faint, everyone saw it clearly.

This was the real deal, a six-colored thundercloud!

Everyone was already surprised at four colors, but who would have thought—!!

Xuan Kongzi and some Alchemists who didn't like Gu He widened their eyes even further.

Stroking his beard, Xuan Kongzi muttered to himself, unable to hide his shock: "Unprecedented, truly unprecedented!"

Those male Alchemists who had previously had feelings for Cao Ying but dared not pursue her because they viewed her as an untouchable goddess were even more frantic after seeing Cao Ying and Gu He acting intimately.

Their legs went weak.

"Who is this guy?!"

"I've never seen someone so dominant in the Central Plains! He just comes out and immediately summons a six-colored thundercloud!"

In the eyes of these pursuers, Gu He hadn't just successfully refined an Eighth Grade six-colored Pill Lightning Medicinal Pill; he had also viciously provoked them, Cao Ying's suitors.

That dazzling, colorful thundercloud didn't seem like a thundercloud at all, but rather Gu He holding up his middle finger and sneering at them:

"Is that all you got? That's it?"

"Do you think you're worthy of pursuing my woman?!"

The pursuers were furious.

The pursuers were cowardly, their legs turned to jelly.

Hearing the renewed discussions, Gu He smiled faintly.

The Dou Zun Pill took shape, and the Pill Lightning flashed immediately; Gu He quickly went to meet the Pill Lightning.

Unlike his previous encounters with Pill Lightning, this time Gu He did not summon his Crimson Sky Sword; instead, he caught the heavenly lightning with one hand and instantly neutralized it.

He had previously experienced an unimaginable triple illusion, and after breaking through it, he had not come away empty-handed; his Soul and Mental Energy seemed to have been invisibly strengthened.

The illusion in the first round of the Pill Tower was formed and maintained by borrowing the power of an ancient Venerable. Mu Gu Old Man's attempt to plot against him had backfired, instead allowing Gu He to reap some benefits.

Of course, this benefit could only be obtained by seeing through the illusion, pursuing the pure essence, and making it out alive.

Gu He also realized that he had been too reliant on his weapon, frequently drawing the Crimson Sky Sword. In reality, handling something like Pill Lightning was a trivial matter at his cultivation level; he didn't need to draw his weapon.

The implicit strengthening of his Soul and Mental Energy had made him aware of this serious problem, allowing him to improve.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Pill Lightning ended, and a thick mist of medicinal fragrance dispersed.

The Dou Zun Pill was finished!!

The others who had refined Eighth Grade Medicinal Pills, including Cao Ying, all looked at Gu He.

The Alchemists who were still refining their pills felt as if the Medicinal Pills inside their own Cauldrons were about to submit to Gu He's Dou Zun Pill!

Such power!

They hurriedly tightened their control over their flames, no longer looking at Gu He, wanting only to finish the Alchemy process quickly, because—the result was already without suspense!

Gu He stored the Medicinal Pill in a specially made jade bottle and went to find Xiao Yi Xian, as they were not far apart.

Xiao Yi Xian had already refined a sixth-tier low-grade Medicinal Pill. She held the light green Medicinal Pill as if it were thousands of jewels, her eyes shining as she presented it to Gu He to see.

Gu He carefully observed it and exaggeratedly encouraged her,

"As expected of my Disciple! If this were a novel, you would be the heroine with the appearance of a celestial being!"

Gu He recited softly, "Do not say that women are not heroes; night after night, the Longquan sword rings on the wall."

Xiao Yi Xian had read the collection of poems Gu He had written. Although Gu He told her that it was written by someone else, in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, it was no different from Gu He's own work.

And in a second, she understood the meaning of the poem,

People should not say that women cannot be heroes; even my precious sword hanging on the wall is unwilling to lie dormant in its scabbard, and it rings like a Dragon every night.

Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, her smile carrying a touch of silliness that she only showed in front of Gu He.

She was not stupid, so she knew who she relied on to be able to embark on the path of an Alchemist and successfully advance to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

She relied on that dark figure and that warm, large hand in the small Medicine Hall in that small town.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, her eyes shifting: "It's all because Master taught me well! As long as I didn't lose face for Master, that's enough!"

Gu He patted her head.

Xiao Yi Xian's progress was already very fast, Dual Cultivation of medicine and poison, while also refining Medicinal Pills.

Gu He knew she didn't want to give up any of them, so he let her be. However, although her Alchemy skills and experience grew relatively slowly, Xiao Yi Xian's insights into Alchemy were not lacking at all.

Because of this, her mind was more delicate, and she could better perceive the changes in energy around her.

...

While the two were talking, most of the Alchemists had also successfully refined their Medicinal Pills.

After a while, all the Alchemists stopped their actions.

Xuan Kongzi stepped out, his voice raised like layers of mountain waves:

"Now, I will announce the results of the competition—!!"

"Whew~"

The sound of intake of breath rang out; the Alchemists on the field seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

With such a gem before them, they had no choice but to submit.

This huge gap was like a cliff crack split by the heavens.

Xuan Kongzi announced loudly: "I declare that the champion of this Pill Gathering is—Gu He!"

"Whoa!"

"Clap, clap, clap!"

The noise and applause mixed together, exceptionally enthusiastic.

The audience outside the square cheered for the birth of the number one powerhouse, and the other Alchemists on the field, whether they were jealous, envious, or angry, had to offer applause for Gu He.

What if you're not convinced?

Can you refine a six-colored thundercloud??

Suck it up!

Looking at this lively atmosphere, Xuan Kongzi smiled with satisfaction,

"Then this Pill Gathering is now officially over—"

"Three days later, the top ten of you in the Pill Gathering will enter the Star Domain together to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Please prepare yourselves!"

The top ten Alchemists all showed joy.

The Pill Gathering is over?

No, no, no, the Pill Gathering is not over! The main event of the Pill Gathering is still to come, and it is precisely this Three Thousand Burning Flame!

This Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Heavenly Flame that even the Pill Tower could not subdue!

"Good!"

"We will definitely do our best!"

"Three days later, this old man will give it his all!"

The Alchemists began to mutter to themselves, and the older ones had their passion from their youth ignited.

Heavenly Flame, who doesn't want it?

Do you think they are all like that pervert Gu He who is number one on the list?

It's one thing to possess a Heavenly Flame, but he's also weird, and his Heavenly Flame is so strong.
