47: Chapter 47 Witnessing a Legend

The sun slowly rose, eventually stopping directly above Xiao Yan's head.

In the corner, the Black Robed Man held a purple Medicinal Pill in his hand—the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, a Fourth-Rank Peak Medicinal Pill. Among all the Medicinal Pills successfully refined on the scene, it was undoubtedly the best.

As for the two Fourth-Rank Medicinal Pills from Liu Ling and the Little Princess, they were far inferior in comparison, not to mention those of the other contestants.

Despite this, the Black Robed Man's face was extremely gloomy at this moment. His cold eyes stared at Xiao Yan in the center of the arena, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces!

Why? Why!

I, Yan Li, worked hard for thirty or forty years to reach my current level. I risked my life to come to the Jia Ma Empire, hid my identity, and participated in the Alchemist Convention. I thought winning the championship would be an easy task, but who could have expected to encounter such a freak!

I can't understand it, I really can't understand it! And this youth named Xiao Yan, damn it, is actually a genuine Dou Wang expert!

Pathetic! Frustrating!

In front of Xiao Yan, the cyan flames within the Medicine Cauldron rolled continuously, and the medicinal ingredients began to gradually undergo Fusion. As the black Medicine Cauldron slowly rotated in the air, ripples of energy appeared, spreading from the Medicine Cauldron as the center, gradually diffusing in all directions...

This was a phenomenon that only occurred when refining a Fifth-Rank or even a Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pill.

Inside the Medicine Cauldron, a prototype of a jade-green Medicinal Pill slowly took shape under the burning of the flames. At a certain moment, a deep green medicinal fragrance suddenly emitted from the cauldron, permeating the sky above the Imperial Plaza, lingering for a long time.

"Such a rich colored medicinal fragrance!" Fa Ma looked in astonishment at the green medicinal fragrance permeating the sky. Just what kind of Medicinal Pill is this guy refining?

The instant the jade-green Medicinal Pill appeared, a fierce ripple of energy surged out from within the pill. This energy ripple was partially intercepted when it passed through the black Medicine Cauldron, but the rest still seeped out, rushing violently in all directions.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, and an energy barrier appeared, wrapping around the bluestone platform where he stood. The energy ripples crashed into the barrier, causing the Dou Qi barrier to fluctuate violently, but after a short while, it gradually subsided.

He slapped the Medicine Cauldron, and a perfectly round, jade-green Medicinal Pill popped out, landing in Xiao Yan's palm. He tossed it in his hand, then placed the Medicinal Pill into a jade bottle.

"A Fifth-Rank Peak Medicinal Pill, the Dou Ling Pill!" Xiao Yan announced loudly towards Fa Ma.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yan Li's face instantly turned pale, and he plopped onto the ground.

The Dou Ling Pill! Even for a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, that Pill King Gu He would not dare to claim he had absolute certainty of successfully refining it on the first attempt! This Xiao Yan, can he refine it at such a young age? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

On the high platform, Fa Ma was stunned for a long while before regaining his usual composure. He smiled and said, "Hehe, a Fifth-Rank Peak Medicinal Pill, the Dou Ling Pill! I presume everyone has heard of its fame. It is a precious Medicinal Pill that can increase a Dou Wang expert's Realm by one star. Even an ordinary Sixth-Rank Alchemist would not dare to claim they have absolute certainty of successfully refining it!"

"Therefore, I announce that the champion of this year's Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Convention is..."

"Wait a moment!" Hearing the voice ringing in his ears, the pale-faced Yan Li suddenly looked up and screamed.

Having his words interrupted, Fa Ma frowned as he looked at the pale-faced, red-eyed Yan Li, and said coldly, "What is the matter?"

"I don't believe he could refine the Dou Ling Pill! It must be inspected!" Pointing his finger at Xiao Yan, Yan Li shouted loudly.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yan Li. This guy, does he really not know how to write the word 'death'? No one was bothering him, yet he had to jump out and seek his own demise?

As soon as Yan Li's words fell, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience, as if questioning Xiao Yan was an insult to them.

"It's fine. Since he wants an inspection, then let's have an inspection." Xiao Yan said to Fa Ma on the high platform.

Ultimately, at Xiao Yan's request, the Alchemist Guild established the inspection rules. Soon, two Alchemists walked out from the high platform. These two were Mitchell, the Vice President of the Alchemist Guild, and Old Mo, an Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire who did not belong to the Alchemist Guild.

The two first came to Yan Li's side, took the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill from his hand, and used their Soul perception to detect the grade of the Medicinal Pill and whether it had any defects.

"The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, no defects," Mitchell said indifferently, then passed the Medicinal Pill to Old Mo.

After inspecting Yan Li's Medicinal Pill, they inspected several other contestants who were willing to have their refined Medicinal Pills examined, including Liu Ling and the Little Princess. Their Medicinal Pills, aside from the color being slightly less than pure, had no other major issues.

After finishing the inspection of the Little Princess's Medicinal Pill, they finally arrived at the stone platform in front of Xiao Yan, under the gaze of everyone.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly at Mitchell and handed over the jade bottle. The former took it with both hands and poured it out.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two looked at it carefully, their expressions very grave.

"Old Mo, you announce the result." Mitchell said with a somewhat strange expression.

This old man, known as Old Mo, although he did not belong to the Alchemist Guild, had a quite resounding reputation in the Jia Ma Empire, because he happened to be a champion of one of the previous conventions.

"Hehe, this convention is truly one that will make people remember it with shock for a lifetime."

The white-haired old man shook his head with a bitter smile, then faced the audience and smiled faintly: "The inspection is complete. It is truly shameful. The Dou Ling Pill refined by this Xiao Yan is far more perfect in quality than the one I saw refined by Gu He... At such an age, he has already surpassed the most powerful Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire. Xiao Yan's future achievements are simply unimaginable. Perhaps, achieving the status of an Eighth-Grade or even a Ninth-Grade Alchemist would not be anything strange!"

The white-haired old man's sudden comment directly caused the entire plaza to instantly fall silent. Everyone looked with astonishment at Xiao Yan, who had been evaluated in such a manner by Old Mo.

One must know that Pill King Gu He's status in the Jia Ma Empire was almost at the Peak. In the eyes of countless fledgling Alchemists, he was an insurmountable mountain!

And now, this young youth had actually, in front of tens of thousands of people, directly surpassed that mountain!

The title of a seventeen-year-old Dou Wang was already enough to shock the Jia Ma Empire. Now, another title that shocked the world appeared for this youth: a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!

The quiet plaza persisted for a long time before slowly recovering. No one would question Old Mo's evaluation, not only because of the weight of Old Mo's long-standing fame, but also because Xiao Yan had truly refined a Medicinal Pill that produced a phenomenon in front of everyone.

It was also because Xiao Yan was a seventeen-year-old Dou Wang expert!

This single point was enough to dispel everyone's doubts about Xiao Yan!

Seeing this, Fa Ma smiled. The higher the rank of an Alchemist, the more emphasis is placed on proficiency. And given Xiao Yan's age, it was impossible to speak of proficiency. Therefore, only one reason could explain this: talent! Unparalleled talent!

Therefore, Fa Ma extremely agreed with the evaluation made by Old Mo. If Xiao Yan were to go to the Central Plains and join the powerful Pill Tower, it would not be surprising for him to achieve the status of an Eighth-Grade or even a Ninth-Grade Alchemist in the future.

One must know that when he was young and traveling the continent, he had never seen or even heard of a seventeen-year-old Sixth-Rank Alchemist!

He gave a light cough, and when all eyes had shifted to him, he smiled and said: "Since the inspection is complete, I announce that the champion of this year's Alchemist Convention is..."

His palm reached out from his sleeve, and his finger pointed suddenly at the youth standing in the arena with a smile: "That is, Xiao Yan!"

As soon as Fa Ma's voice fell, earth-shattering roars of excitement instantly erupted from the audience. Countless people, their necks and faces flushed with excitement, stood up from their chairs one after another, frantically waving the items in their hands. The entire plaza was plunged into an exciting state of boiling fervor.

The reason was very simple.

They had witnessed a legend!
