In the center of the plaza, countless gazes fixated on the seven-colored flames rising from Xiao Yan's cauldron, every pair of eyes filled with shock and curiosity.
Most people present had never seen an Yihuo before, but even those few who had witnessed one stared at Xiao Yan's flame as if seeing something impossible.
Because the Yihuo in Xiao Yan's hand was simply too strange—this was the first time anyone had seen a flame that could manifest its own form the moment it appeared.
Especially Venerable Fuding, who had only just taken a seat on the VIP platform. At this moment, he once again shot to his feet, staring at Xiao Yan like he was staring at a monster.
As a Dou Zun powerhouse, his knowledge far surpassed the people present. Yet even he had never seen such a bizarre flame.
Just from the terrifying heat radiating from it, he could tell at a glance—the power of this Yihuo was anything but ordinary.
Xiao Yan had already focused his entire mind on his refinement. With a flick of his finger, a row of medicinal ingredients appeared neatly before him.
Most of these were gathered and delivered by Yao Ye; after all, the ingredients sent by Xiao Ding were mostly for refining seventh-grade pills.
Hunyuan Sugudan was a high-quality medicinal pill used to treat magical beast injuries, ranked at six-grade, and its main ingredient was the bone of a seventh-rank magical beast.
Xiao Yan pointed lightly at a millstone-sized beast bone within the pile, and it immediately fell into the cauldron.
As it entered, the seven-colored blaze surged up instantly. Crystal-like radiance flashed across the bone's surface, resisting the terrifying heat—but clearly, it wouldn't last long.
Then, the two Yin–Yang fish flew out from within the Seven-Colored Fire Lotus. With their help, the beast bone melted even faster.
The two Yin–Yang fish slowly circled the bone, and with each rotation, the glow upon the surface dimmed.
Soon, streams of white-jade-like liquid were squeezed out from within—that was the marrow of the seventh-rank magical beast.
"This new Yihuo is really not bad."A satisfied smile curved Xiao Yan's lips.
With such a powerful flame assisting him, his refinement efficiency would skyrocket.
After testing the flame a little, Xiao Yan wasted no further time. With a wave of his hand, all the ingredients needed for Hunyuan Sugudan floated into the air above the cauldron.
Except for a few crucial ingredients that were difficult to refine, all the others were instantly engulfed by the seven-colored Yihuo mid-air.
In a split second, dozens of brilliant seven-colored Fire Lotuses blossomed above the cauldron. They burned with astonishing heat, yet their beauty made the scene look almost artistic—like dozens of seven-colored flowers blooming in mid-air.
The sight instantly drew gasps from the crowd.
Refining all ingredients for a six-grade pill simultaneously—for anyone who understood alchemy, this was already rare enough.
But having each ingredient wrapped in a dazzling Fire Lotus only made the scene more dreamlike, more breathtaking.
"Incredible… this kid is truly incredible."
Venerable Fuding couldn't sit still at all. Xiao Yan's technique was simply too stunning. Even as a peak seventh-grade alchemist himself, he couldn't guarantee he could perform such a complex maneuver so effortlessly.
Yet Xiao Yan not only did it—he made it look elegant, luxurious, and beautiful.
The difference between them wasn't just talent or Yihuo—it was countless generations of accumulated knowledge.
Xiao Yan's mastery over flame carried the inheritance of the Xiao and Yao Clans, with ten thousand years of accumulated insight—plus millennia of innovation from the Dan Tower. Just leaking a tiny bit of such heritage was enough to make an ordinary alchemist cry tears of devotion.
Meanwhile, Venerable Fuding, though a Dou Zun, was ultimately a wild, unaffiliated rogue cultivator—his exposure to true alchemy heritage was severely limited.
And while Fuding struggled to process his shock, many alchemists from all factions were already moved to tears. For them, this scene was nothing short of sacred—a glimpse of the peak they pursued their entire lives.
"This Xiao Yan is a born genius… I wonder if, at my age, I can still manage to take him as my teacher?"Fa Ma, president of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Guild, looked at Xiao Yan with burning admiration.
Far off, Gu He of Yunlan Sect looked more and more hopeless. In just a few months, Xiao Yan's cultivation had risen sharply, and even his alchemy had soared to another height.
Meanwhile, Gu He's own progress in both fields over the same period was pitifully small.
He glanced at Yun Yun beside him, her bright eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and suddenly… a speck of dust in his heart silently settled.
"Forget it… a youth like this—what woman wouldn't like him?"
In that instant, the King of Pills finally understood.
With his overwhelming soul strength and Yihuo assisting him, Xiao Yan refined Hunyuan Sugudan with ease. After only two hours, a rich fragrance drifted from the cauldron.
Moments later, he flicked his finger, sending a jade bottle flying straight toward Jia Xingtian.
Hunyuan Sugudan—complete!
And with that, Xiao Yan didn't pause for even a breath before diving into the next pill.
Rongling Dan!Fuzi Lingdan!Qinghun Dan!Pozong Dan!
From day to night, five six-grade pills—every single one successfully refined in one try. The alchemists in the plaza were way beyond mere admiration at this point.
As for the women present… their gazes were practically hotter than Xiao Yan's flames. Handsome, monstrously talented, and wielding such beautiful Yihuo—this was basically a walking aphrodisiac.
Especially Xiao Yan's own lovers—the pride and heat in their eyes needed no explanation.
No woman ever despised her man for being too excellent—just like no man ever complained his woman was too beautiful.
The seven-colored flames burned from day into night, illuminating the entire alchemy plaza in dazzling colors.
At this moment, half the imperial city seemed bathed in seven-colored light. Even the moonlight itself was forced back by the dreamlike glow.
After refining all five six-grade pills, Xiao Yan finally exhaled lightly and closed his eyes to rest for a moment.
For someone like him, refining five six-grade pills in a row only brought a slight hint of fatigue.
Besides demonstrating for the alchemists present, all of this was simply warming up—helping him adapt to his new Yihuo.
When the first light of dawn shone over the imperial city, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes again.
In the next moment, the seven-colored Yihuo erupted once more, its radiance so bright it drowned out the morning sun.
After a full day of warm-up, Xiao Yan was finally ready to refine a seventh-grade pill.
With a flick of his finger, over a hundred medicinal ingredients flew out of his storage ring.
This time, he was refining—
Yin–Yang Xisui Dan!
