Chapter 262: Refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill

Dan Chen and Dan Xueyi exchanged a glance, a hint of smile in their eyes. Her purple robes fluttered, pure and ethereal, and as her gaze wandered, her eyes, full of charm, swept over Yang Tian. Yesterday's actions had deeply shocked her, but that was all.

Tian Xin was furious. He cast a venomous glance at Yang Tian, a grim and terrifying curve forming on his face. His chest heaved violently before he forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart.

Clang! Suddenly, Tian Xin's hand flipped slightly, and a pitch-black furnace crashed heavily to the ground with a loud bang, producing a deafening roar. The furnace was astonishingly heavy, even denting the hard stone steps.

The pitch-black furnace gave off a sense of antiquity and grandeur. On its walls was engraved a strange beast with a ferocious appearance, exuding a hint of terrifying aura that slightly stirred one's soul.

At this moment, Yang Tian sneered and tilted his head slightly, his gaze converging on the furnace before him. It was a deep blue furnace, its walls dotted with starlight like a river of stars. Divine flames spewed from its mouth, extremely powerful and blazingly intense.

This furnace resembled an ocean, rolling and roaring from within, astonishing to hear. The quality of this furnace was extremely high!

In the palace, beside the Outer Sect Grand Elder, was an old man with white hair. Looking at the furnace beside Dan Xiaoxiao, he said in surprise, "Old Man Zong, I didn't expect you'd give your precious treasure to this girl."

"Of course, don't you see whose granddaughter she is?" The Grand Elder stroked his silver beard, laughing heartily, pride spreading in his eyes. It seemed he was very satisfied with the first two rounds of competition.

The white-haired old man curled his lips, then lowered his voice: "Old Man Zong, what is the relationship between that adult and that boy? Why did he help him yesterday?"

"How would I know?" Dan Zong shook his head slightly, his gaze falling on Yang Tian. "But this kid is not bad. I hope his alchemy skills will also surprise us. If the top three fall into the hands of the Central Region and the Southern Divine Dynasty, that would be a great embarrassment."

"Then let's wait and see. I hope your precious treasure can be reliable." The white-haired old man smacked his lips and smiled slightly.

Yang Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, scanning his surroundings. He couldn't help but purse his lips. He had seen over a dozen furnaces at the Dao artifact level, which was terrifying.

Clang! At that moment, Yang Tian's hand flicked slightly, and a fiery red furnace appeared before him. Divine patterns soared into the sky, and waves of fire swept in all directions. The patterns on the furnace walls were extremely profound, like a sky full of stars.

An ancient aura emanated from the furnace, drawing the attention of many. This furnace seemed to have been sealed for a long time, and its quality was very high. The furnace mouth was almost gathering unusual phenomena.

Dan Zong looked at the furnace Yang Tian had brought out, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "This furnace is not simple. The refining technique is extremely ancient; it should have been handed down from ancient times."

"Indeed, I can't even see through the divine patterns on the furnace walls. It seems this kid has had quite an opportunity, obtaining such a treasure, which is very beneficial for alchemy." The white-haired old man beside him agreed, amazed.

This furnace was named the Flowing Fire Furnace, a small trinket of Yang Xiao's in the past, now a treasured possession of Yang Tian. Its quality was almost at the peak level.

"This guy hides all the good stuff." Yuan Xia looked at the furnace before Yang Tian with her beautiful eyes, pouting. Recalling when he treated her injuries, since seeing the Hundred Herbs Divine Liquid, she suspected whether Yang Tian had done it on purpose that time.

After a moment of random thoughts, Yuan Xia's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at the maid beside her and secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, she had a veil on, or she would have been embarrassed.

On the square, various divine flames shot into the sky, their blazing power radiating. At a distance of nearly ten thousand zhang, some young cultivators around felt a wave of heat and couldn't help but step back a few paces.

Yang Tian took a deep breath, channeling his blood energy into the furnace. The Flowing Fire Furnace suddenly expanded, the profound divine patterns on its walls flickering, emitting wisps of scorching flames.

"With this furnace, the success rate of refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill should increase significantly." His gaze fixed on the hundred-zhang-sized furnace before him, Yang Tian pursed his lips and muttered inwardly.

Some high-end furnaces not only had powerful internal flames but also greatly benefited the refining and condensation of pills. Moreover, the divine patterns inscribed on them could better nurture the medicinal liquid. Thus, a good furnace was crucial for an alchemist.

"Chi!" His hand flicked slightly, and a wisp of wind swept past. The lid of the Flowing Fire Furnace instantly flipped open, sending dozens of zhang of fire waves surging into the sky. The surrounding void rippled, and even without activating its power, it showed such force, indicating the extremely high temperature inside.

Yang Tian's hand turned over, and the Marrow Cleansing Flower appeared in his hand. At this moment, he sensed many gazes on him. He shook his head slightly and instantly threw the Marrow Cleansing Flower into the furnace.

A vast wave of medicinal power flickered and vanished. Tian Xin frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He remained silent, earnestly refining the spiritual herbs inside.

"This is a Marrow Cleansing Flower. What pill is this kid trying to refine?" Although Yang Tian was fast, he didn't escape Dan Zong's eyes. Dan Zong said in surprise.

"This spiritual herb is not easy to refine, and it contains a vast amount of medicinal power. Ordinary alchemists simply cannot control it. I wonder what pill this kid is trying to refine." The white-haired old man nodded, somewhat puzzled.

"It seems these two days of alchemy competition will be quite lively." The white-haired old man's gaze swept around, and when he saw a rather lecherous fat man, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Indeed, the young people of this era are destined to rise." Dan Zong said meaningfully. Even invincible figures had emerged, and many families had produced countless individuals with unlimited potential.

"Right, the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land has also produced a figure." At this moment, the white-haired old man's gaze converged on Wan Teng. He murmured, sensing that Wan Teng's physique was extremely terrifying, a contender of this generation.

"Heh, it's a pity Dan Xuan is still in seclusion. Otherwise, these two could have competed!" Dan Zong said with a slight smile, confidence shining in his eyes.

Inside the furnace, flames soared. The Marrow Cleansing Flower shimmered with a crystalline luster, desperately resisting the scorching waves of fire.

In the Flowing Fire Furnace, wisps of divine patterns descended, each possessing corrosive power. Yang Tian's refining speed increased several times instantly.

As time passed, when a drop of crystalline liquid fell, one of the three dragon-shaped fire mouths below instantly soared out, spewing a terrifying thunderfire that calcined the medicinal liquid.

Yang Tian's expression was solemn. He had only gathered two sets of these spiritual herbs. If one set failed, the difficulty would greatly increase. From the anomaly of the Ancestral Dragon Ring earlier, the location indicated by the pillar of heavenly fire should be the burial place of the fire seed.

Few things could attract the Ancestral Dragon Ring. He had to enter that place to have a look.

In the field, sounds of energy fluctuations came from time to time. Some people ended up disheveled and defeated. Failing to refine the spiritual herbs dealt a considerable blow to their confidence.

Endless flames soared into the sky. The void above was completely devoid of clouds, melted into nothingness by the blazing temperature.

The noisy sounds below also dissipated, as if afraid of disturbing the alchemists above. These people were all under twenty years old, yet they could refine pills here. Their alchemy talent was astonishing, and in the future, several alchemy grandmasters would emerge from among them.

When the Ancestral Dragon emerges, the Nine Yin appears; Yin and Yang intermingle, destruction without limit!

The Chaos Divine Statue, shaking the past and present, forms a Dharma Aspect of Heaven and Earth, manifesting supreme combat power!

The power to swallow the heavens, roaring to move mountains and rivers, possessing the strength to devour heaven and earth, looking down upon the world!

When the drumbeat of iron halberds sounds from the distant wilderness, can it awaken the sleeping war souls?!

The demon controls the universe, the god controls Yin and Yang; the ultimate of strength can shake the nine heavens! On this vast land, in this era of rising heroes, who will dominate the rise and fall?!
