The power of that fifth-grade pill exploding in the furnace just now was probably comparable to the full-force attack of a peak Dou Wang expert. If it had been allowed to spread, this entire alchemy plaza would have been destroyed.
However, Xiao Yan simply clenched his fist and directly annihilated the energy generated by the pill's surge into nothingness.
Judging from this detail alone, Elder Yan Xiao's strength is among the top in the Dou Huang realm.
A sixth-grade peak alchemist with the cultivation of a peak Dou Huang, what level of strength and status can Xiao Yan reach?) The reason was already clear to everyone.
Ignoring the slightly more awe-inspiring looks from the crowd, Xiao Yan frowned and recalled the steps and selection of herbs from his failed alchemy attempt.
After half an hour of deduction, he turned his gaze to an elder beside him and said, "Replace the Golden Silk Grass with Golden Thread Grass, and the Purple Light Dew with Azure Light Dew."
Upon hearing this, the elder nodded hurriedly and quickly returned to the alchemy hall to replace the herbs.
With the new set of herbs, Xiao Yan showed no signs of fatigue and quickly continued refining the medicine. As the seven-colored fire lotus burned, a new round of refining began.
This time, however, he adjusted the heat at several key points and replaced two auxiliary ingredients.
Nearly two more hours passed, and a muffled thud echoed again in the alchemy plaza. Hearing this, a group of elders showed expressions of regret and disappointment.
Although Xiao Yan's adjustments had reduced the cost of refining the medicine considerably, the cost of this one batch of herbs was still around one million gold coins.
Two batches of herbs would cost two million gold coins. It's all gone to waste.
That's the nature of the alchemist profession: quick money, but even faster money
burns. Almost every alchemist's growth is built on piles and piles of gold coins.
Ignoring the elders' disappointed expressions, Xiao Yan's eyes gleamed. He summoned another set of medicinal herbs, and ignoring the pained looks on everyone's faces, the seven-colored flames enveloped the herbs once more.
Under the scorching heat of the strange fire, the essence of the herbs was quickly extracted again. Just before the pill was about to be combined, Xiao Yan suddenly summoned a small, transparent snake from his storage ring.
"It's the Primal Heart Flame!" Many elders were slightly taken aback upon seeing the transparent snake.
Most of them had undergone the Primal Heart Flame tempering process, while Xiao Yan, amidst their puzzled gazes, plucked a wisp of Primal Heart Flame from the transparent snake and poured it into the medicinal essence that had already fused into a paste.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the entire medicinal essence began to boil slightly, bubbling and gurgling.
Xiao Yan ignored this and continued to envelop the nascent pill with the seven-colored flower bud.
Another hour passed, and with a wave of his hand, the seven-colored flower bud, now shrunk to the size of a fist, slowly bloomed before everyone's astonished eyes.
As the bud opened, a crystal-clear, azure pill spun rapidly within the seven-colored fire lotus.
A fragrant aroma emanated from the bud, causing the elders' old eyes to light up with fervent anticipation.
"It's done!"
The elders exchanged glances, their gazes towards Xiao Yan now filled with unspoken respect.
With Xiao Yan's creation of this pill, his contribution to the academy surpassed that of many department heads throughout history.
Even the Grand Elder, Su Qian, would find it difficult to achieve such a feat.
After all, this small, aquamarine pill would nearly double the rate of Dou Wang (Battle King) level experts produced at Canaan Academy.
"Elder Yan Xiao, shall we name this pill?"
Fei Shi looked at the crystal-clear, aquamarine pill with great enthusiasm.
Although this pill was originally conceived by the Alchemy Department of Canaan Academy, the final design and the person who created it were Xiao Yan.
As the first alchemist to create this pill, Xiao Yan had the right to name it.
"A name?" After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan finally uttered a soft sentence.
"Let's call it Heart Flame Tempering Pill."
Heart Flame Tempering Pill?
Fei Shi and the many elders' eyes lit up, and they all nodded in praise, "Not bad, this name is indeed good."
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the elders, Xiao Yan also smiled slightly. He casually took out a jade tablet and engraved the prescription and refining steps of the Heart Flame Tempering Pill on it.
Thus, another significant prescription appeared in Canaan Academy.
At this moment, Xiao Yan quietly took out a jade talisman and sent a voice into it.
"Wife, send someone to Canaan Academy in the Black Corner Region to pick up some things."
"Understood."
After a moment, the jade talisman vibrated slightly, and a mature, alluring, and aloof female voice rang out.
"The Queen is still so aloof."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, then instructed them to bring some medicinal materials for refining the Heart Flame Tempering Pill. After chatting with the Queen for a few words, he slowly put down the jade pendant.
After Xiao Yan successfully refined the Heart Flame Tempering Pill, a commotion arose in the plaza, which gradually subsided after a long time.
However, with their departure, Xiao Yan's reputation was firmly established.
That night, in a corner of Canaan Academy, Liu Qing and his gang listened to a friend from the Alchemy Department's introduction, their faces showing a hint of lingering fear.
They never imagined that this seemingly young rookie student was actually a newly arrived elder of the academy.
Moreover, he possessed extremely formidable alchemy skills and strength, his status comparable to even the Grand Elder, Su Qian.
And yet, they had harassed such a powerful figure.
It seemed that merely being beaten was too lenient; given his status, if he had deliberately caused trouble, these people probably wouldn't have been able to stay in the inner courtyard.
"I didn't expect this guy to be such a powerful figure." Liu Fei stood behind Liu Qing, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but as if remembering something, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"I wonder if Elder Yan Xiao isn't interested in women."
Thinking this, Liu Fei suddenly smiled.
If she could seduce Elder Yan Xiao, her advancement to Dou Wang would be just around the corner.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was unaware that he was being targeted by the man he thought was a beaker. He was currently refining pills in the back mountain of the inner courtyard.
These pills were actually digestive aids for Zi Yan.
A ball of seven-colored flame slowly scorched a large, nascent pill, while Zi Yan obediently squatted beside it, her small hands supporting her chin, her large, dark eyes fixed on the nascent pill.
Unbeknownst to her, a fragrant aroma wafted from the pill, and Zi Yan's saliva involuntarily dripped from her mouth.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt that she and his foolish disciple could be a good match.
Just as he was thinking this, a powerful yet subtle aura quietly appeared in the sky. Ordinary experts couldn't sense this aura at all, but the experts above the Dou Zong level in the inner courtyard were all startled by it.
"How could it be this guy!" Seeing the figure in the sky, Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless.
