Upon hearing Fei Shi's words, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then looked at the group of elders and said with a smile, "Everyone, why don't you hurry up and prepare the materials?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the group of elders reacted one after another.
Elder Yan Xiao said, "Yes, we'll go prepare them right away," and the group of elders hurriedly went to prepare the medicinal materials.
It wasn't that Xiao Yan was stingy with the money, it was just that the grade of these medicinal materials was too low, and he didn't have these reserves in his storage ring.
In a short while, the group of elders returned to Xiao Yan with a large amount of medicinal materials.
"Let's find a more spacious place to refine the medicine." Xiao Yan glanced at the hall. Although it was only refining a fifth-grade pill, it was still the first experiment, and even with his strength, he couldn't guarantee that he could succeed.
If he failed, the entire hall would probably suffer a considerable impact.
Of course, the elders of the alchemy department had no objections to this, so the group quickly moved to an alchemy plaza.
On the plaza, many alchemy students were still refining pills, but upon seeing a group of elders appear, their faces showed puzzlement.
It seemed these alchemy elders hadn't made such a grand appearance in a long time. Only when they saw the young man surrounded by them did the students' faces show surprise.
"How come that person is so young?"
"Idiot, that's Elder Yan Xiao, the newcomer to our alchemy department. He's a sixth-grade alchemist!"
another student couldn't help but mock.
"A sixth-grade alchemist!" The student was slightly taken aback, then his gaze towards Xiao Yan became more fiery and awe-inspiring.
Ignoring the students' astonished gazes, Xiao Yan had already picked up a batch of medicinal herbs and begun refining.
He casually tossed the pile of herbs into the air, and the next moment, a ball of seven-colored flame spewed from his mouth, enveloping the herbs.
After the seven-colored flames enveloped the medicinal herbs, they transformed into blooming fire lotuses, slowly extracting the essence from them.
Even the elders, who had witnessed Xiao Yan's fire control techniques before, were still amazed by this scene. Fei Shi, on the other hand, was seeing Xiao Yan's methods for the first time, his old face filled with astonishment.
Not only had he never seen this wondrous strange fire before, but he had also never seen Xiao Yan's fire control technique.
Compared to his own fire control skills, he immediately felt the gap between himself and Xiao Yan, and his gaze towards Xiao Yan became even more fervent, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" While distracted by refining the pills, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine at Fei Shi's gaze.
Did this old man have some kind of peculiar fetish?
"Elder Yan Xiao's fire control technique is simply unbelievable! If I could learn even a fraction of it from him, it would be my honor, Fei Shi."
Fei Shi seemed to sense Xiao Yan's displeasure and quickly gave an awkward smile.
So that's how it is.
Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After
all, being targeted by an old man like that would make anyone uneasy. Fei Shi's admiration for Xiao Yan's abilities was palpable, let alone the many students around him. Their initial curiosity had turned into shock and admiration.
A pharmacist possessing a strange fire was already enviable enough, but Elder Yan Xiao also possessed such astonishing fire control techniques.
This alone was enough to make many students go wild.
Before they knew it, the pharmacist plaza had gathered a large number of pharmacist disciples, and even some disciples from other departments had come over.
"See that? That's Elder Yan Xiao, our newest member of the Alchemy Department. Look at his fire control technique, wow, it's simply divine!"
"Is his alchemy skill really that strong?" another student from another department asked curiously.
"Based on my more than ten years of alchemy experience, Elder Yan Xiao's alchemy skills are definitely way better than our department head's. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Completely outclasses your department head?"
The student's face showed shock.
"If that's the case, then Elder Yan Xiao can be considered our academy's chief alchemist?"
"That's right, that's what I mean.
If I could get even a little guidance from Elder Yan Xiao, then advancing to the fourth rank would be just around the corner."
Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Yan's reputation slowly spread among the students.
In just a few days, all the students in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy would know that an extremely powerful alchemist had arrived in the alchemy department.
Xiao Yan, standing in the center of the crowd, ignored all this and simply continued to refine the medicinal herbs in his hands.
About an hour later, clusters of colorful medicinal essences were easily extracted by Xiao Yan.
Purple powder, blue liquid, silver paste, and so on.
Seeing this, the many alchemists not only envied Xiao Yan's skillful fire control technique but were also amazed by the power of the strange fire in Xiao Yan's hands.
If these things were given to an ordinary fifth-grade alchemist to refine, it would probably take a whole day to complete.
"The power of this strange fire is terrifying!"
Fei Shi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Amidst his exclamation, Xiao Yan then carefully added all the medicinal essences into the seven-colored flames, one by one.
"Soon, the fire lotus, having absorbed all the medicinal essences, slowly closed, forming a seven-colored flower bud."
Upon seeing this flower bud, the group of alchemists couldn't help but marvel at Xiao Yan's superb alchemy skills.
Judging from the medicinal materials Xiao Yan used, it was clear that Elder Yan Xiao was refining a fifth-grade pill, yet he hadn't even used a cauldron throughout the entire process.
The flower bud burned slowly until, about an hour later, a fragrant aroma of pills suddenly wafted out from within.
This caused the onlookers to involuntarily perk up, except for Xiao Yan and Fei Shi, who couldn't help but frown slightly.
Sure enough, a moment later, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly arose within the flower bud.
Sensing the energy fluctuation, Fei Shi's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted to the students nearby, "Retreat! The furnace is going to explode!"
Hearing this, the students' faces changed, and they hurriedly tried to retreat.
However, they hadn't gone far when they saw Xiao Yan frown and extend his palm.
With a forceful clench of his fist, the beautiful flower bud suddenly transformed into a giant fiery hand, which he then forcefully gripped towards the source of the energy fluctuation!
A muffled "Bang!" resounded, and a gust of wind rose from the center of his palm, ruffling the hair of those around him, but they paid no attention, their eyes fixed intently on the source of the energy fluctuation.
The powerful energy that had been expected to cause the furnace explosion had completely vanished, leaving only a clump of ashes.
"Failed?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, racking his brain to figure out where things had gone wrong, while the students and elders watching looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of awe.
This newly arrived Elder Yan Xiao... is so strong!
