Tian Xin
After wiping the black smudges and dirt on his face, a young man’s eager gaze on his secret cracked furnace were revealed. He lowered his head and walked off disappointed. With his furnace and divine soul energy damaged severely, he had no confidence to continue.
Almost fifteen minutes later, pink smoke wreathed around Yang Tian’s furnace. A bright liquid and potent scent escaped it. Lips dry, he switched up his hand seals and imbued his qi and blood into the furnace. The crimson furnace glowed brighter. The beast marking on it woke and fired fire balls into the interior, raising the temperature. The lightning dragon’s body solidified. One Flame Mouth was sufficient for refining a rank three pill, evident from the liquid burbling. Flame breakers kept refining it. Meanwhile, Yang Tian sent his divine soul energy in to fuse the liquid. The purple lightning’s destructive intent swiftly destroyed the rampaging energy within the liquid. Every shiny drop contained Lightning Source’s ability. Its fusion speed sped up.
Pill furnaces exploded every now and then. Half of the remaining contestants left. Some had to be carried out due to the severity of their wounds.
Four hours later, the smell of herbs pervaded the spacious arena. The gathered scent formed an herb in the void.
A quiet “hargh” bray gave everyone a jolt. Tian Xin and Dan Chen palmed their pill furnaces open at the same time. Fire breakers burst and incinerated the clouds. Two transparent, pristine, herb-and-Essence-containing high-quality pills levitated out from their furnaces.
Dan Xueyi and Dan Xiaoxao wrapped up.
The attention-seeking young man finished his rank three pill, which was notified by an exclamation and reinforced with more comments calling his furnace quality into question. As a guiding rule, cracked furnaces meant contents would leak and the chance of success would be reduced. The dark horse known as Yang Tian garnered gazes and exclamations. Some prepared quality divine pills to recruit him. If one so impoverished could concoct and refine pills, he had to be a prodigy.
A pink cloud wreathed around the pill as it gradually levitated. A flame-shaped Flame Mouth. The purple lightning aura spat out a pill flame.
The biggest question people had pertaining to Yang Tian’s flame control technique was how lightning refined pills when it was supposed to represent destruction.
Qin Shi opened his lid, revealing a jadeite light and dispersing heat.. He pursed his lips once he noticed all the eyes on Lightning Dragon Flame Mouth and exclaimed, “What a strange pill flame…”
Tian Xin trained his wicked gaze on Yang Tian. The pill flame irritated him, evoking a desire to kill Yang Tian. Though it only lasted for a fleeting moment, Yang Tian noticed Tian Xin’s gaze. Tian Xin jibed Yang Tian, “Keep your head safe for two more days. I’ll come collect it.”
Yang Tian smiled savagely; he didn’t hide his desire to kill Tian Xin, either.
Dan Chen glanced over to Yang Tian. He nodded owing to a newfound respect for Yang Tian. Few had the audacity to offend Heavenly Dao Alliance in Central State. He saw Tian Xin start the confrontation.
Tian Xin: “Dan Chen, don’t have delusions just because you kept up with me in pill concoction. You’ll be the one to die tomorrow.”
Dan Chen: “Gee, you trying to set a new bar for bragging? Don’t get destroyed by our friend there.”
“That’s a terrible joke.” Tian Xin pointed to Yang Tian and ridiculed him. “If I can’t defeat this dead man walking, I’ll turn around and walk the other day whenever I see you in the future.”
“Idiot,” Yang Tian jeered.
Dan Chen smiled joyously, anticipating entertainment.
Tian Xin, a favourite to win the contest and wielded great influence, was wrathful. “Stop right there!” demanded Tian Xin. He seemed to intend to disregard the convention’s rules and attack Yang Tian.
Dan Qu’s father: “Shut up, brats!”
