217. Chapter 218 Black Flame

Chapter 218 Black Flame is Fierce

The next morning, Chen Xiao went out early and came to the agreed place for the alchemy competition, while others got up earlier and had been waiting for quite some time.

Seeing Chen Xiao's arrival, many eyes kept scanning him. Chen Xiao's performance yesterday had made him a hot candidate for the championship in everyone's mind.

When Zhang Yangshen saw Chen Xiao's arrival, he snorted coldly and had no good face. He had no good feelings for such a person who had stolen his limelight in the alchemy tower.

Chen Xiao didn't care about his attitude and ignored it directly, walking towards the alchemy platform in front.

The venue for the alchemy competition was a huge square, on which twelve alchemy cauldrons were placed for contestants to refine pills.

In the periphery, there were already a large crowd of people. Most of the people in Dongxun City came here to see this alchemy event, so that they would have something to talk about when they went out and chat with others in the future.

With so many people gathered, there was naturally a lot of noise, but after a while, the crowd became quiet, because in front, Cao Guo, who was in charge of the Five Nations Pill Competition, had appeared.

"He is the referee this time."

"I heard that he is the most famous alchemist in the Dongxun Empire. He is highly respected. I saw him today and he is indeed extraordinary."

Many people in the crowd discussed quietly.

Facing the crowd, Cao Guo came out and pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I think you all know that this Five Nations Pill Competition will determine the quota for the Wansheng Mountain Secret Realm."

"Only the top five can get the quota. The higher the ranking, the more quotas will be obtained. There are no restrictions for this pill competition. All contestants can refine their most advanced pills, and the one with the highest grade will win."

When Cao Guo's words spread, many people were secretly excited. This is the gathering of the most talented alchemists under the age of 30 in the five countries. Being able to witness such a pill meeting, they are not in vain.

"Now, the alchemy competition can begin. Please write down the materials you need. We, the official Dongxun City, will prepare them for you." Cao Guo said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from Dongxun City immediately handed paper and pen to the participating alchemists and asked them to report the medicinal materials they needed.

This period of time lasted for about half an hour. After all the medicinal materials were delivered, Cao Guo cleared his throat and said, "Okay, the spiritual medicine has arrived. The alchemy competition... officially begins!"

As his words echoed, the twelve alchemists present immediately started the furnace and started the fire. Of course, they all had their own methods.

For example, Li Xu, a six-star alchemist, used an extremely rare beast fire. This beast fire was extremely precious. If it was used to refine the alchemy, not only would the time for tempering the spiritual medicine be greatly shortened, but its impurities would also be more perfectly discharged.

And Zhao Mo, Xu Lai and others who were as famous as him all had alchemy fire prepared for them by their own country's alchemist association. They were all good and not inferior to the beast fire used by Li Xu.

These people showed their magical powers in the process of refining spiritual medicine, which made everyone overwhelmed.

Of course, the most eye-catching one was Zhang Yangshen. He had obtained a kind of strange fire since he was a child. He grew up in the place where yin and yang intersected. It was a wonder brewed by heaven and earth. This strange fire also allowed him to take advantage of the time when refining pills and became the first among the young people of the five countries.

When they all started to refine, Chen Xiao had not yet opened the furnace, which made many people secretly look forward to it, and of course some people were waiting to see the joke.

"I don't know what kind of pill fire Chen Xiao used. If it is ordinary fire, I'm afraid it will make people laugh..." Some people sneered with some ill intentions.

Previously, Chen Xiao overwhelmed the heroes in the Dan Tower stage, which can be said to be a horse in the dust, but it is easy to fall hard when you climb high. If he performs mediocrely in the alchemy stage, I'm afraid he will be despised by everyone.

Although some people have bad intentions, there are still a small number of people who have some expectations for Chen Xiao, hoping that he can also perform well in the Danbi stage.

"Chen Xiao's Dan Fire has not been used yet. I hope it can be comparable to Li Xu and others." Some people who support Chen Xiao thought silently.

They did not hope that Chen Xiao could suppress Zhang Yangshen in the quality of Dan Fire. They just thought that it would be good to keep pace with Li Xu and others.

After all, Zhang Yangshen's Heaven and Earth Fire is a natural divine object, something that can only be encountered by chance.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xiao finally moved. He opened his hands and slightly bent his palms. Suddenly, a powerful wave appeared from his palms. The next moment, a black flame that seemed to be able to devour everything appeared in his hands.

When this black flame appeared, it was extremely powerful and instantly overwhelmed all the magic alchemists present. Not only the beast fire of Li Xu and others, but also the strange fire that Zhang Yangshen was proud of was also covered.

"Hu! Hu!"

Suddenly, all the flames jumped and fell towards Chen Xiao, as if they were worshiping the black flame in Chen Xiao's hand, even Zhang Yangshen's strange fire was no exception.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yangshen was a little embarrassed and annoyed. He felt that his strange fire seemed to be extremely afraid of Chen Xiao's black flame, as if he had met the king of all beasts.

This feeling had never appeared since he obtained the strange fire.

"What is the origin of the black flame in this guy's hand? It's so strong?"

Not only Zhang Yangshen, but other alchemists felt it more deeply. Zhang Yangshen's strange fire was like this, and their Dan fire trembled directly in front of the black flame.

This scene made everyone stare.

"No way, this pervert is too strong."

The audience saw that the black flame in Chen Xiao's hand suppressed all the flames, and they all took a breath of cold air.

Cao Guo on the stage was smiling, and he was more and more satisfied with Chen Xiao.

"What a good seedling, Tianwu Country has produced an extraordinary genius this time."

Hearing Cao Guo's boast, Li Dangxin, who was standing next to him, smiled from ear to ear, while the leaders of the other four countries were all livid, and they all complained in their hearts that the geniuses of their own countries were not up to standard.

Faced with all this, Chen Xiao also touched his nose, feeling a little helpless. He didn't want to be so high-profile, but this black flame grew from the dragon scales, how extraordinary it was, and it would naturally amaze the audience as soon as it appeared.

“Hmph, you are just taking advantage of the tempering process. When it comes to the real alchemy moment, the technique is the most important. If you don’t have the ability to refine high-level pills, you will never be able to beat me.” As a genius in alchemy, Zhang Yangshen has always been the center of attention. But now he is suppressed by Chen Xiao and cannot raise his head. He feels sour in his heart.
