212: This girl is amazing! She's refining the head of a Nascent Soul demon?!

Time flew by, and a night passed.

The next day.

The sun rose in the east.

Fentian Capital.

Named after Fentian, it was a massive city founded by Ancestor Fentian, the founder of the Fentian Holy Land.

It bordered Eastern Profound, with the boundless sea behind it; crossing the boundless sea would lead to the Central Divine Continent.

The air within Fentian Capital was always filled with a scorching aura.

Perhaps due to the Dao principles left behind by Ancestor Fentian when he founded it, or perhaps because there were countless fire-attribute Cultivators in Fentian Capital, one could see Cultivators wrapped in flames coming and going everywhere.

Especially on this special day, the number of people had reached a terrifying figure.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Three loud bell tolls rang out.

An old man dressed in the flame-patterned black robes of the Fentian Holy Land appeared in mid-air.

With a flick of his finger, he threw out a Magic Treasure.

In the blink of an eye, the Magic Treasure transformed into a plaza a hundred miles wide, filled with countless Pill Furnaces.

At the very top of the plaza were several figures exuding the fragrance of pills.

They were a group of proud old men, all wearing brown robes with the character for 'Pill' on their cuffs.

They were the Elders from the Fentian Capital branch of the Pill Pagoda, invited by the Fentian Holy Lord.

"The Pill Refining Convention begins now. Will all participants please find your Pill Furnace according to your name..."

"To align with the Young Master of the Shen Family, this Pill Refining Convention is restricted to those under twenty years old..."

"The method for this competition is very simple: whoever refines the highest-grade Medicinal Pill that best fits the style of the Shen Family will be crowned the winner..."

"Oh, and the Materials for Alchemy must be provided by yourselves. If you fail, you bear the consequences yourself..."

The leading Alchemist spoke softly, immediately causing an uproar among the crowd.

"Damn it, we have to provide our own Materials? It's hard to say what grade of Medicinal Pill we can refine then. If you want to refine high-grade ones, you need to have the Materials first..."

"This seems a bit of a trap. Is the dignified Fentian Holy Land really that stingy?"

The next second.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

"The Pill King of Fentian Capital has arrived!"

"Hehe, Old Monster Dan has appeared!"

Countless figures flew into the plaza, and Xiao Qinger followed among them.

"So simple? Alright, alright, fitting the style of the Shen Family, right? Then I'll refine a Tyrant Pill, implying that the Shen Family is the overlord of the Human Race. Hehe!" an old man with black smoke rising from his body laughed strangely.

"Too low, that's too low! What Tyrant Pill? How vulgar. This is a gift for the Young Master of the Shen Family. The Young Master of the Shen Family is only twenty years old. You didn't do any research at all. You don't understand anything!"

"I've studied the Shen Family for three hundred years; no one understands the Shen Family better than I do. Since it's the Young Master of the Shen Family, a young man must surely like romance. The Blue Diamond Divine Pill will definitely be legendary!" said an Alchemist with a pale face, who looked like he had been overindulging in self-gratification for years.

The area below the plaza was also crowded with countless figures.

"I wonder who will win this time."

"That goes without saying. The Pill Refining Convention is just a formality. The winner will naturally be the younger brother of the Saintess of the Fentian Holy Land. It is rumored that he could refine Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pills at the age of three. Now, at eighteen, he has even been recognized by the Pill Hall. What a Prodigy!"

"I disagree. I heard that a Prodigy Alchemist has emerged in the Fentian Holy Land. It's a girl, and even the Third Tower Master of the Pill Pagoda has considered taking her as a disciple. I feel she has the highest chance of winning."

The Grand Elder of the Pill Hall twitched his mouth.

What is this nonsense? Do these fire-attribute Cultivators really understand Alchemy?

Until his gaze fell on a corner.

"Eh?"

"Ancient Pill Refining Technique?"

"This girl must be the Xiao Qinger that Lord Yao Chen mentioned, but what a pity..."

"Strange, why is this girl injured..."

On the plaza, various flames danced, and the scent of medicine was like smoke.

Although Xiao Qinger's face was pale, she was still skillfully manipulating the Pill Furnace, continuously throwing in Materials, until she took out a large head of a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast, immediately drawing the attention of everyone.

"Damn, this girl is so fierce. Refining the head of a Nascent Soul Great Demon??"

"What kind of Medicinal Pill is she trying to refine? I've never heard of a Medicinal Pill using the head of a Nascent Soul Great Demon!"

"This Nascent Soul Great Demon looks so familiar. Damn, she didn't go to the Yao Hunting Pavilion to fight a life-and-death battle with the Yao Race, did she..."

"I'm from the Yao Hunting Pavilion, I can confirm. That's right, last night, Miss Xiao came and challenged thirteen Yao Race members in a row..."

"Thirteen????"

"Everyone, look, that's a Strange Fire!!"

"This girl has a Strange Fire. She is Xiao Qinger. This Strange Fire is terrifying. Damn, it even has intelligence!!"

At this moment.

On Xiao Qinger's shoulder, Xiao Qing stood with hands behind its back, very professionally directing the Azure Moon Spirit Fire to refine the head of the Nascent Soul Great Demon.

This Peak Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon was killed by Xiao Qinger herself last night.

It was a Yao Race member with a trace of royal Bloodline, which was why she was injured.

And in her Storage Pouch, there were over a dozen heads of Yao Race members from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

After the Awakening of her Divine Body, one could see to what level her combat strength had soared.

She didn't know what fit the style of the Shen Family, but if she were asked what gift she most wanted to give her Senior Brother, it was that she had fulfilled her promise, and had done even better...

What she was going to refine this time.

Was the Nine-Pattern Ancient Yao Pill mentioned by the Empress.

Its grade depended on the Yao Beast being refined, from the Yao Emperor down to the Foundation Establishment Great Demon.

This Medicinal Pill had the effect of tempering the Physical Body.

Using Yao blood to refine the body was one of the methods of cultivation for ancient Body Cultivators.

"Nine-Pattern Ancient Yao Pill? Is she going to refine a four-pattern one..." The Grand Elder of the Pill Hall narrowed his eyes, and was even moved by Xiao Qinger's exquisite technique.

Aside from her Strange Fire, this girl was still an out-and-out Alchemy Prodigy!

No wonder the Third Tower Master wanted to take her as a disciple.

It's just that this girl's technique didn't look like she hadn't been taught by anyone...

"Four-Pattern Ancient Yao Pill?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Qinger, don't embarrass yourself with this Nascent Soul Stage Medicinal Pill. Would the Young Master of the Shen Family even look at it?" A young man in luxurious robes manipulated his Pill Furnace and turned to sneer at Xiao Qinger.

The Medicinal Pill in his furnace actually had a trace of Dao flowing through it; this was a Soul Transformation-level Medicinal Pill, already containing the power of Dao, infinitely close to Void Refinement...

This person was named Zuo Qiu, the younger brother of the Saintess of the Fentian Holy Land, Zuo Bixuan, and also the youngest son of the Fentian Holy Lord.

In fact, the person who had truly conflicted with Xiao Qinger that day was this Zuo Qiu, which eventually evolved into Zuo Bixuan stepping in for him...

Xiao Qinger ignored Zuo Qiu's mocking voice and focused on Alchemy.

Seeing that Xiao Qinger didn't reply, Zuo Qiu's face turned gloomy, and he spat.

"Pah!"

"A native from the Lower Realm, and you think you're qualified to stand here and compete with me in Alchemy!"

"Even your Old Ancestor was kicked out of the Fentian Holy Land, yet you're still so arrogant. Wait and see how I deal with you later!"

An incense stick of time passed.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Pill Thunder appeared repeatedly!
