Chapter 720: Pill King Lei Nuo

ROAR!

Suddenly, a dragon’s cry resounded through the Nine Heavens, drawing everyone’s attention. To their shock, three types of Exotic Fire burst forth from Ye Wushuang’s body!

"Three types of Exotic Fire! He can actually control three different Exotic Fires!"

The smiles on the crowd’s faces froze. They stared at Ye Wushuang in shock, and for good reason. For a Pill Master, it was common to only control a single Exotic Fire, which they would strengthen by continuously devouring others.

Only a select few could ever control two.

As for controlling three Exotic Fires, they had never even heard of such a thing. People like that were peerless prodigies!

The three Exotic Fires took the form of dragons and dove into the Pill Furnace.

Instantly, three distinct flames soared into the sky. The sheer Flame Power they radiated made the Exotic Fire in Elder Xiao’s Pill Furnace tremble as if in fear!

Immediately after, Ye Wushuang’s hands moved continuously, tracing out seals that shot into the Pill Furnace like an inescapable net, locking in every last shred of medicinal power and preventing any of it from leaking out!

He was truly ensuring that not a single drop of the medicinal ingredients’ essence was lost!

"He’s too fast! We can’t keep up! Young Master Ye is simply incredible!"

Yueh Rui and the other elders were anxious. Ye Wushuang’s Alchemy speed was so fast that they couldn’t even follow his movements, let alone learn from them.

HUM!

A few breaths later, Ye Wushuang finally stopped, recalling the Exotic Fires into his body!

"Is he done just like that?"

Everyone was stunned, thinking their eyes were playing tricks on them. How long had it been? Was he even performing Alchemy?

"Quiet!"

Just as the crowd began to murmur, Yueh Rui turned and roared, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

A Pill Master from the Wu Family actually dared to yell at them in their own Alchemist Guild. They were completely baffled!

After roaring, Yueh Rui turned back around, closed his eyes, and replayed Ye Wushuang’s Alchemy process in his mind. The people behind them couldn’t appreciate the benefits of watching Ye Wushuang work, but he and the other Wu Family elders certainly could. They’d fight anyone who dared to interrupt them!

A moment later, the Alchemist Guild Disciples behind them snapped out of it. Just as they were about to confront Yueh Rui, a strange medicinal fragrance wafted over, once again capturing their attention.

They thought Elder Xiao had finished and turned to look. However, that wasn’t the case. The fragrance was coming from the Pill Furnace in front of Ye Wushuang.

The crowd stared intently and saw an orange, glowing Elixir suspended inside the Pill Furnace, held in place by a mysterious Restriction!

Their eyes weren’t deceiving them. It was, without a doubt, an Elixir!

"He... how could he possibly refine an Elixir in such a short amount of time? Impossible! I don’t believe it! It must be a Wasted Pill!"

The crowd shook their heads in disbelief. His speed was so freakishly fast they simply couldn’t accept it.

HUM!

Then, on the other side, Elder Xiao also stopped!

When he turned his head, he saw Ye Wushuang standing with one hand behind his back, watching him!

"You’ve finished refining?"

Elder Xiao was stunned. He then frowned and looked into the Pill Furnace. An Elixir appeared before his eyes, sending a jolt of shock through him!

’This kid’s speed is incredible!’

He thought to himself. He wasn’t worried, however, as he was very confident in his own skills. He quickly regained his composure and said solemnly, "To prevent any accusations of me cheating, both of our sides will send one person up to inspect the elixirs!"

"I will go!"

The moment the words fell, Yueh Rui’s eyes snapped open, and he scrambled to be the first.

"You old geezers, I called it first! Hahaha!"

He even turned to say this to the men beside him before walking up to the high platform.

"That Elder Yue, he beat us to it! I regret this so much! I can’t believe I missed this opportunity!"

Several Wu Family elders beat their chests and stamped their feet, looking as though they bitterly regretted their slow reactions.

This left everyone from the Alchemist Guild stunned. It was just an inspection of an Elixir. Why were they acting like they were about to admire some peerless treasure? They had completely lost all sense of decorum.

"The Wu Family’s Pill Masters are a joke!"

The six elders from the Alchemist Guild chuckled, and the Second Elder among them walked forward.

Instantly, Ming Lang, Wu Qianqian, Wu Lanlan, and everyone else focused their gazes on the stage.

Yueh Rui and the Second Elder walked over to Elder Xiao’s side. The Second Elder picked up the Elixir, and after they both examined it for a moment, he announced, "A Nine-Grade Treasure Pill! Quality: Top Grade!"

"It really is a Top-Grade Treasure Pill! Elder Xiao’s Alchemy Dao is truly extraordinary."

Upon hearing the result, the group of Disciples grew even more reverent toward Elder Xiao.

A smug look appeared on Elder Xiao’s face as he turned to look at Ye Wushuang’s side.

Yueh Rui and the Second Elder walked over. Yueh Rui was carefully cradling the shimmering orange Elixir, his face filled with excitement!

"There’s no mistake... no mistake... this is it!"

The crowd watched as Yueh Rui held the Elixir and muttered to himself like a madman.

"Just what grade of Wasted Pill could make a Wu Family Pill Master so excited? Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Wu Lanlan’s expression turned sour. ’The Wu Family’s reputation has been completely thrown away by these old men today!’

"How is this possible!"

Amidst the laughter, a sudden cry of astonishment rang out, even drowning out the crowd’s jeers. Everyone’s attention shifted to the Second Elder.

The cry had come from him!

His eyes were wide as he stared at the Elixir in Yueh Rui’s hands, as if he had just seen something unbelievable!

Seeing this, the smiles on the crowd’s faces vanished, replaced by curiosity!

"Pill Patterns... You... you actually refined an Elixir with Pill Patterns!"

The Second Elder whipped his head around to stare at Ye Wushuang, his eyes filled with sheer terror. ’In just a few breaths, he refined an Elixir with Pill Patterns!’

"Pill Patterns!"

Hearing the Second Elder’s cry, the crowd trembled!

They knew exactly what Pill Patterns represented: the absolute Peak of skill!

"Pill Patterns?" Wu Lanlan’s beautiful eyes also narrowed as she stared at Ye Wushuang, finding it unbelievable. ’He refined an Elixir with Pill Patterns?’

Nearby, Ming Lang’s eyes constricted, and his heart trembled violently!

"You’ve lost."

Ye Wushuang turned to Elder Xiao and stated flatly.

"Impossible! How could someone as young as you refine an Elixir with Pill Patterns?" Elder Xiao refused to believe it. He stepped past the Pill Furnace, came before Yueh Rui, and stared at the Elixir.

"It really has Pill Patterns!"

The next moment, even he let out a cry of shock, further stunning the people below!

The way everyone looked at Ye Wushuang had changed!

This was especially true for Wu Qianqian. Aside from her blushing cheeks, her expression was incredibly complex!

"They are both Nine-Grade Treasure Pills, but I’m sure everyone knows that a Pill Pattern Level Treasure Pill is of a higher quality than your Top-Grade Treasure Pill. The winner is clear, isn’t it?"

Ye Wushuang said leisurely as he strolled forward with his hands behind his back.

Elder Xiao’s eyes narrowed. An Elixir with Pill Patterns wasn’t just higher quality than a Top-Grade one; they were on completely different levels!

Without a doubt, Ye Wushuang had won this competition!

"I’ve won, as everyone has witnessed. Shouldn’t you be fulfilling your end of the bargain now?"

Ye Wushuang’s demands were, of course, the Celestial Essence Emperor Heart Grass and... one hundred slaps to his own face!

"You cheated! You must have cheated! It doesn’t count! It doesn’t count!"

Hearing this, Elder Xiao’s body trembled and he began to roar. Putting aside the fact that he would never hand the Celestial Essence Emperor Heart Grass over to Ye Wushuang, there was no way he would slap his own face a hundred times!

"Cheated? From the sound of it, you’re planning to go back on your word?" Ye Wushuang shook his head with a smile and walked toward Elder Xiao. "It’s fine. If you won’t do it, I’ll help you!"

BOOM!

Ye Wushuang suddenly strode forward and swung a slap toward Elder Xiao’s face.

SLAP!

Elder Xiao screamed as blood and flesh flew through the air. His body shot backward like a scarecrow, crashing to the ground with a THUD. It was unknown if he was dead or alive!

However, seeing his twitching body, the crowd could feel the sheer power of that slap!

"What an arrogant brat! Do you think the Alchemist Guild is a place where you can run rampant?"

Just then, a voice echoed from outside the grand plaza.

BOOM!

A middle-aged man in a blue robe strode through the air and landed in the center of the grand plaza. A destructive aura spread out from him, forcing everyone to take a step back.

Flashes of lightning and wisps of purplish-black flame coiled around the man. The destructive aura came from the Thunderfire on his body!

"Pill King Lei Nuo has appeared!"

Seeing the newcomer, the crowd was suddenly alarmed!

The shimmering golden badge on his chest indicated that he was a Pill King—a king among alchemists!

Ye Wushuang also watched him. ’A Peak Pseudo-Saint, just one step away from condensing a Dao Fruit and attaining Sainthood. And that Thunderfire on his body is very strong. It must be a powerful type of Exotic Fire!’
