The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 861 - 859: Vanquishing Sky Alchemy Skill!

Chapter 861: Chapter 859: Vanquishing Sky Alchemy Skill!

Gu Yueqing placed the spiritual medicines into the elixir furnace unhurriedly.

Many alchemists from the Dan Dao Courtyard watched on curiously.

They whispered among themselves at times, and at others, their brows were furrowed in concern.

"Hey, something’s not right. The order of the spiritual medicines for the Human Emperor Elixir doesn’t seem to be like this."

"However, arranging them this way does have some basis."

"What exactly is going on?"

Many elders from the Dan Dao Courtyard were completely befuddled.

If the elders from the Dan Dao Courtyard couldn’t understand, not to mention the over three hundred thousand warriors present, many of whom were low-level alchemists, and most of the warriors were there just to watch the excitement, completely clueless about alchemy.

They just wanted to see the result and whether the Human Emperor Elixir could be successfully concocted.

"Reduce the flame!"

Lin Bai reminded softly from the side.

Every time Lin Bai gave a reminder, Gu Yueqing would do as he instructed.

Time trickled away.

After about an hour, a rich fragrance slowly wafted from the elixir furnace.

"What a rich medicinal fragrance!"

"It’s about to form pills."

Many elders from the Dan Dao Courtyard confirmed that the Human Emperor Elixir was about to be formed upon smelling this scent.

The Human Emperor Elixir, though not labeled with a grade, appeared to Lin Bai’s eyes to be around a seventh-grade elixir pill, as the order of the spiritual medicines and control of the flame were very difficult, making it incredibly hard to concoct.

Lu Qingyu and Pei Ji both awaited with bated breath.

Now, all the alchemy-capable warriors understood that this was the final step for the Human Emperor Elixir’s formation.

If this last step was taken, then the Human Emperor Elixir would be born on the Miracle Ridge!

The emergence of the Three Great Wonders of the Dan Dao Courtyard would create a storm that swept through the Miracle Ridge and would even cause a stir throughout Lingnan.

Qiu Yukui’s eyes shone with worry: "No way, is it really going to be concocted?"

"Do I really have to kneel and take Lin Bai as my master?"

"No, no, no!"

"It can’t be concocted! It must not succeed!"

Qiu Yukui prayed fervently in his heart.

Lin Bai looked on with a calm gaze at Gu Yueqing and the elixir furnace, saying, "Alright, time to release the pills."

Gu Yueqing’s face was slightly pale, but upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, her eyes flashed with golden light as she responded, "Okay."

Immediately, she performed hand seals, and the Flourishing Lotus Flame surged.

Suddenly, at that moment.

A loud boom!

The elixir furnace used to concoct the Human Emperor Elixir shattered explosively!

A billowing plume of black smoke rose from the Arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Lu Qingyu was shocked and leaped up from his chair: "What happened?"

Pei Ji also frowned: "Did the furnace explode?"

"What’s going on?"

"Did the furnace explode again?"

"An explosion? Does that mean the alchemy failed?"

The over three hundred thousand warriors present exclaimed in shock.

An explosion signified alchemy failure, which was common knowledge in the Dan Dao world.

Seeing the furnace shatter, Qiu Yukui burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it exploded, it exploded! Alchemy has failed, the Human Emperor Elixir’s concoction has failed here!"

"Qing’er, the Human Emperor Elixir is hard to refine to begin with. Today’s furnace explosion doesn’t mean you should lose heart. When we return, I will dedicate some time to study with you, and surely we will achieve some results!"

Qiu Yukui was overjoyed to see the furnace explosion.

But he still offered Gu Yueqing some words of comfort.

After that, Qiu Yukui sneered at Lin Bai and laughed wildly, "Lin Bai, now that Qing’er’s furnace has exploded again and the Human Emperor Elixir has failed, what else do you have to say?"

"Now, isn’t it time you obediently handed over your life to me?"

Qiu Yukui wore a smug smile and stared at Lin Bai, his eyes looking as if he wanted to devour Lin Bai alive!

Seeing the furnace explosion, the entire arena gasped in shock. Qiu Yukui was especially smug, while the faces of Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing remained remarkably calm.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Qiu Yukui, who told you that a furnace explosion equates to a failure in refining?"

Qiu Yukui laughed out loud, "Lin Bai, do you even know how to perform alchemy at all? Since ancient times, all alchemists know that a furnace explosion means the alchemy has failed, and all the Elixir Pills in the furnace are destroyed!"

"If you don’t believe me, ask the Elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard and see if they agree with me."

Qiu Yukui said, laughing.

The Elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard, upon hearing Qiu Yukui’s words, all showed a trace of sadness on their faces.

Indeed! A furnace explosion meant that the Spiritual Medicine inside the furnace was destroyed, and the Human Emperor Elixir could not be made.

"Heh heh heh."

"Qiu Yukui, today I will widen the horizons of a frog in a well like you."

Lin Bai gave a slight smile and walked towards the shattered Elixir Furnace.

In front of this broken Elixir Furnace lay a pile of black ash, the remnants of the consumed Spiritual Medicine.

Lin Bai swept a sleeve, and a whirlwind scattered the ashes, revealing seven lustrous, gem-like Elixir Pills, emitting a captivating white light, lying quietly on the ground.

"Ancient scriptures say, ’Across the Earth for ten thousand miles, fertile soil fills a thousand directions. Yet, there stands an immortal tree throughout the ages, rooted on Earth, and fierce, venomous beasts lurk within the forest, spanning the heavens, cutting the life force of Earth and sky."

"Thus, a High Priest, pointing upwards, summons Heavenly Thunder, ignites Heavenly Fire, using all beings as wax, all beasts as candles, buried within the Earth, summoning wind and rain, planting divine mountains’ Spiritual Medicine, sprouting with the arrival of spring."

"Afterward, an Alchemist, learning from this wisdom, created an Alchemy Technique called the Vanquishing Sky Alchemy Skill!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai extended two fingers and picked up one of the Elixir Pills from the ground.

This pill was none other than the Human Emperor Elixir!

Gu Yueqing excitedly came over, picked up all the Elixir Pills from the ground, and exclaimed with surprise, "Lin Bai, do you see? Do you see? I’ve finally refined the Human Emperor Elixir!"

"I’ve finally refined the Human Emperor Elixir!"

Gu Yueqing, holding the six Elixir Pills in her hands, was as elated as a child receiving her favorite toy, excitedly speaking to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Congratulations, with the experience from this refinement, next time you will surely become more skilled and refine even more Human Emperor Elixirs!"

Lu Qingyu stepped forward, descending from his position to Gu Yueqing’s side and exclaimed, "You’ve refined it? Qing’er, let your master take a look."

Gu Yueqing excitedly handed Lu Qingyu one of the Elixir Pills.

Lu Qingyu carefully examined the Elixir Pill for a long time, overwhelmed with excitement, "It is the Human Emperor Elixir, there’s no mistake, and the potency is so pure! This batch of Elixir Pills is even better than the ones I refined before."

"The Human Emperor Elixirs that I accidentally created before were only of Lower Grade."

"But this batch has actually reached the Higher Grade! These are truly exceptional among Elixir Pills."

Lu Qingyu couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

"They’ve been refined!"

"The Human Emperor Elixirs have truly been refined!"

"And a whole seven of them at once!"

"Is this really the Human Emperor Elixir?"

All the warriors witnessing Lu Qingyu and Gu Yueqing’s smiling faces were astounded.

Could it be that the Human Emperor Elixir was really refined?

Up to this moment, they had witnessed the birth of the Human Emperor Elixir, yet they still couldn’t believe it. Could one of the Three Great Wonders of the Dan Dao Courtyard indeed have been refined?

Shaking his head in disbelief, Qiu Yukui muttered, "No, no, this can’t be! These cannot be the Human Emperor Elixirs, certainly not! Lin Bai, did you secretly add these Elixir Pills earlier to deceive us all?"
