"Borrowing fire?"
Yao Zhi and the other two had puzzled expressions. It was normal for a top-tier alchemist to have their own alchemy boy, but borrowing fire from the alchemy boy, wasn't this reversing the natural order?
However, Yao Zhi had said that external forces could be used, so he naturally had no objections.
"You may."
It was just borrowing fire, after all. Forging pills ultimately relied on one's own hard strength.
Mo Tianxiao nodded, then turned to look at the audience stands. "Sister, give me some fire. Let big sister show them something eye-opening."
Huang Xiaoyao stood up, a hint of excitement on her face. Was Brother Tianxiao going to start causing trouble?! She had been waiting impatiently for this!
Extending a single hand, a golden-red flame appeared with a boom. Instantly, the temperature of the entire venue soared rapidly, and the air around the flame became distorted.
Cultivators with lower cultivation bases could even barely withstand the residual heat of this flame.
Mo Tianxiao stood in the alchemy arena. With a shift of his will, the flame in Huang Xiaoyao's hand disappeared, then appeared in his own hand.
The terrifying high temperature directly caused the ordinary alchemy furnace in front of him to show signs of melting. Obviously, an alchemy furnace of this grade could not withstand the power of Xiaoyao's flame.
This was the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Flame, which was comparable to a wondrous fire, and its rarity was even above that of wondrous fires.
"Could this be a wondrous fire!?"
The three people on the judges' panel were all stunned, then stared with wide eyes, observing the flame in Mo Tianxiao's hand.
This color, this temperature. Although they didn't know what kind of wondrous fire this was, in their hearts, they already treated it as one.
They truly hadn't expected that Mo Tianxiao's alchemy boy would actually possess a wondrous fire. They even began to be curious about Huang Xiaoyao's alchemy level.
An alchemist possessing a wondrous fire shouldn't have a low alchemy level. Coupled with the aura of a great cultivator in the Dharma Idol Realm exuding from Huang Xiaoyao, Yao Zhi and the other two were even more convinced that Huang Xiaoyao was also a top-tier alchemist!
A top-tier alchemist was actually willing to become Miss Nan Mo's alchemy boy. Although it was partly because they were sisters, it also indirectly showed how powerful Miss Nan Mo's alchemy skills were.
Huang Xiaoyao probably didn't even know herself that she had actually been imagined as a top-tier alchemist by these few old fogeys just by showing off a bit of fire.
"Miss Nan Mo, aren't you going to use your own alchemy furnace?"
Yao Zhi noticed that the alchemy furnace in front of Mo Tianxiao had melted and kindly reminded her.
Zhou Muxi looked at Mo Tianxiao, her tone carrying good intentions. "If little sister Nan doesn't have a suitable alchemy furnace, I can lend you mine to use."
As she spoke, Zhou Muxi took out a Saint-grade alchemy furnace. The dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it faintly revealed phantoms of dragons and phoenixes, and the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries seemed to echo in the air. The grade was instantly pulled to the absolute maximum.
Even Old Man Jiu was frightened by Zhou Muxi's alchemy furnace. "This is the Dragon Phoenix Creation Furnace, one of the top ten alchemy furnaces in the Xuanhuang Realm!?"
The top ten alchemy furnaces in the Xuanhuang Realm were all genuine Saint Artifacts. Any alchemist would desire to obtain one. They hadn't expected to be fortunate enough to see one today.
"Holy shit! This trip today was worth it! Are we going to witness the elegance of a Saint-grade alchemy furnace with our own eyes?!"
Yao Zhi and Elder Gong were also somewhat shocked that Zhou Muxi had taken out the Dragon Phoenix Creation Furnace. They coveted this alchemy furnace very much, and they didn't know where Elder Zhou had gotten it from.
Usually, they weren't even allowed to borrow it for a bit. They didn't expect that today, the other party would actually be willing to take it out for an unfamiliar alchemist to use.
Facing Zhou Muxi's good intentions, Mo Tianxiao ruthlessly refused. "I appreciate Elder Zhou's kindness, but it's just refining a top-tier pill. There's no need to use such a good alchemy furnace."
"In fact, I think it doesn't matter even if I don't use an alchemy furnace."
Having said that, Mo Tianxiao explained no further. The Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Fire in his hand burned even more fiercely, manipulated casually by him like an elf.
The sky full of flames outlined a gorgeous picture scroll. Subsequently, stalks of medicinal ingredients, wrapped in spiritual energy, flew into the sky and turned into clusters of essence liquid under the burning of the flames.
Yao Zhi seeing this scene stood straight up, his face showing horror, and his tone carrying excitement. "This is cauldronless alchemy!?"
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Alchemy can still be done like this!"
"My eyes have truly been opened today! Can alchemy be successful like this??"
The crowd clearly watched every portion of medicinal ingredients in the air turn into liquid and fuse with other essence liquids under the burning of the flames, their faces full of shock.
If they were taught alchemy like this, their alchemy levels would definitely skyrocket!
"It's actually cauldronless alchemy!"
Old Man Jiu, who was also refining a pill, was so affected by Mo Tianxiao that his furnace almost exploded directly. He could only hastily cast aside all distracting thoughts and concentrate on refining his own pill.
The technique of cauldronless alchemy was truly too exaggerated. Almost no alchemist dared to do this, unless it was a top-tier alchemist showing off when refining low-level pills.
But using the cauldronless alchemy technique to refine a top-tier pill, wasn't this too much of a flex?
This required not only technique but also extreme control over the flames and perfect mental coordination to possibly succeed.
Mo Tianxiao looked relaxed, following the steps one by one to extract all impurities, retaining only the most perfect parts, and then began to fuse the medicinal ingredients little by little according to the proportions.
Every step was just right, as if it was a pre-set program, without the slightest error.
Yao Zhi, Elder Gong, and even Zhou Muxi stared fixedly at Mo Tianxiao, as if to carve every single one of his steps into their hearts.
They had already realized that Mo Tianxiao's alchemy level was not on the same tier as theirs at all.
Whether it was the previous back-to-basics refining method or the current cauldronless alchemy, none of them were anything less than the most top-tier techniques.
How could a little girl know so many top-tier techniques? This was too exaggerated.
One had to know that these old antique alchemists usually only cultivated a multitude of alchemy techniques to the extreme, and then compatibly cultivated a few good techniques to become a generation's grandmaster.
To be able to do what Mo Tianxiao did, cultivating two top-tier techniques to such a state of perfection, was simply inconceivable.
They would never know that besides these two techniques, every alchemy technique Mo Tianxiao brought out was something that could establish a sect. There was no other reason; it was just that the system was awesome.
"Bang!!"
An explosion announced the failure of Old Man Jiu's alchemy.
He hadn't refined this kind of high-difficulty pill much to begin with, and with Mo Tianxiao affecting his mindset like this, his failure was already expected.
Not discouraged, Old Man Jiu packed up his alchemy furnace and also began to observe Mo Tianxiao's methods.
The alchemy had reached the most crucial moment. All the medicinal ingredient essences were fused together by Mo Tianxiao, condensing into a large cluster of essence liquid, slowly compressing and condensing under the flames of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix.
With a swipe of his hand, Mo Tianxiao divided the cluster of liquid into two, splitting his focus to condense two pills simultaneously.
After the liquid condensed into golden solids, Mo Tianxiao proceeded to the final step for the Heavenly Tribulation Pill. He threw a Lightning Attraction Grass into the sky, subsequently activating its function.
"Rumble!!"
A dense, dark layer of clouds condensed in the sky above. Under the effect of the Lightning Attraction Grass, several bolts of heavenly lightning struck the two pills to elevate their quality.
Before long, several perfect lightning patterns appeared on the surface of the pills.
The Heavenly Tribulation Pills were successfully refined.
"Done."
Mo Tianxiao grasped the two pills and held them up. "Now do you understand how to refine multiple pills using only a single set of ingredients?"
