Chapter 722 Pill Pattern Phenomenon

’Utter defeat!’

In that instant, as everyone stared at Ye Wushuang, these two words echoed in their minds.

In terms of the Alchemy Dao, Pill King Lei Nuo was at the Pill King level, while Ye Wushuang had no rank at all. Although they had witnessed his miraculous Alchemy before, it didn’t mean he could be so miraculous every time!

Moreover, when it came to his Pill Furnace and Exotic Fire, Ye Wushuang couldn’t compare either.

Pill King Lei Nuo not only had a Holy Pill Furnace, but also the Fallen Thunder Fire—a powerful Exotic Fire practically born for Alchemy. He was in an almost invincible position.

Everyone knew that Ye Wushuang no longer stood a chance.

But when they looked over at Ye Wushuang, they saw he was unhurried and composed, seemingly unconcerned with the Alchemy.

BOOM!

Ye Wushuang also sprang into action. Three types of Exotic Fire transformed into dragons and converged into his Pill Furnace. This astonishing Alchemy technique startled even Pill King Lei Nuo!

Ye Wushuang’s expression was indifferent as he methodically took out countless medicinal ingredients!

Most of these ingredients were Treasure Medicines from the Life Stars within his Chaos Space, along with a few Ancient Medicine Kings!

This time, he was refining the Solid Divine Pill!

This was a Top-Grade Pseudo-Saint Pill that could nourish and enhance one’s Divine Soul!

Generally, aside from controlling the Exotic Fire and mastering Alchemy techniques, the greatest requirement for Alchemy was the demand it placed on one’s Divine Soul!

To refine a High-Level Elixir, one needed a powerful Divine Soul. If one’s Divine Soul Power was too weak, it was simply impossible to succeed!

Therefore, the Solid Divine Pill was extremely important to any Alchemy Master!

After adding the medicinal ingredients, a thought crossed Ye Wushuang’s mind. He then took out some Treasure Blood from a Star-Devouring Giant Beast and added it in.

The Star-Devouring Giant Beast was a behemoth comparable to a Saint Sage. Its Treasure Blood was on par with Holy Blood, making it a supreme treasure for Alchemy!

After adding the Treasure Blood, his fingers began to move. The Profound hand seals were difficult to follow, and their speed was dizzying!

However, as he formed these hand seals, the very state of the world began to shift. Dao Marks materialized and condensed into a series of imprints that he struck into the Pill Furnace!

The crowd below watched intently, not wanting to miss this learning opportunity!

A short while later, Ye Wushuang withdrew his Exotic Fire. A radiant light flickered from within the Pill Furnace as a clean fragrance spread out, shaking everyone’s minds. They suddenly felt their Divine Souls becoming light and ethereal.

"He’s finished again? What kind of speed is that? Don’t tell me he managed to form a Pill Pattern this time too?"

The crowd’s gazes fell upon the Pill Furnace in front of Ye Wushuang. They saw a single Elixir sealed within it by a Restriction, preventing its medicinal power from leaking!

"This time it’s a Pseudo-Saint Pill, a higher grade than a Nine-Grade Treasure Pill. Forming a Pill Pattern is extremely difficult. Don’t worry, he can’t win."

Ming Lang announced loudly, and a group of Disciples voiced their agreement.

BOOM!

On Pill King Lei Nuo’s side, he followed suit and withdrew his Exotic Fire. An Elixir floated inside his Pill Furnace, held in place by a Restriction!

"Being fast doesn’t necessarily mean the grade and quality are high," Pill King Lei Nuo said, turning his head.

Ye Wushuang remained silent, staring at the Elixir in his Pill Furnace with a frown!

’Is it because I added the Star-Devouring Giant Beast’s Treasure Blood?’ he wondered.

Seeing Ye Wushuang’s frown, everyone was certain of the result!

"He lost!" Ming Lang laughed.

"That’s right. It looks like he’s already lost," the others said.

"You’ve already lost. You were fast, but your quality is inferior to mine. The Solid Divine Pill I refined has reached the Pill Pattern Level!"

With a wave of his hand, Pill King Lei Nuo sent the Solid Divine Pill flying toward the crowd, enveloped in a transparent membrane of light. It swept past them one by one, and everyone got a clear look.

There was indeed a Pill Pattern on it!

"The Pill King is truly worthy of his title! To be able to form a Pill Pattern on a Pseudo-Saint Pill... this old man is impressed!" A few of the Wu Family Elders also saw it and gave wry smiles.

With the support of a Holy Pill Furnace and the Fallen Thunder Fire, he was indeed capable of forming a Pill Pattern!

"Even I had to rely on my Holy Pill Furnace to form a Pill Pattern on a Pseudo-Saint Level Treasure Pill. I refuse to believe you could form one as well. You have lost," Pill King Lei Nuo declared with confidence.

If Ye Wushuang lost, he would be at Lei Nuo’s mercy—even if it meant being killed!

"Guild President, Ming Lang suggests throwing him into a Pill Furnace and refining him into a Human Blood Essence Pill to serve as a warning to others!" Ming Lang shouted, taking a step forward.

"Young Master Ming, isn’t that going too far? Dan Fighting is Dan Fighting, but a punishment like that is simply too inhumane."

Yueh Rui’s gaze hardened as he stared at Ming Lang. A Human Blood Essence Pill was made by burning a person alive, adding some medicinal ingredients, and refining the mixture into an Elixir.

If a Cultivator consumed this Elixir, it could significantly boost their Cultivation and even enhance their bloodline!

Many people from the Alchemist Guild also frowned, falling silent!

If it were just a matter of killing Ye Wushuang, they would have had nothing to say. But the act of refining someone into a Human Blood Essence Pill was truly vicious!

Moreover, for such words to come from the mouth of the number one Disciple they all admired in the Alchemist Guild made it even more unacceptable!

"What? Has everyone forgotten how rampant this person was? Have you all forgotten what happened to Elder Xiaa?" Ming Lang demanded loudly, seeing the strange expressions on many faces.

"Enough!" Pill King Lei Nuo snapped. "He lost. He is mine to dispose of. There’s no point in arguing. I will refine him into a Human Blood Essence Pill, as is my right!"

"He agreed!"

Yueh Rui’s expression changed. Pill King Lei Nuo had actually agreed to Ming Lang’s request!

"Wait, we haven’t seen Ye Wushuang’s Elixir yet! The outcome isn’t decided." Yueh Rui knew how miraculous Ye Wushuang’s Elixirs could be and didn’t believe he would lose. He walked up to stand before Ye Wushuang.

"The winner and loser have been decided. There’s no need to look!" an Elder from the Alchemist Guild snorted coldly.

However, Yueh Rui insisted on looking. So, he focused his attention on the Pill Furnace—and his brow furrowed as well!

"That’s not right... That’s not right!"

Suddenly, he exclaimed, repeating the words in disbelief.

"’Not right’? Don’t tell me he managed to form a Pill Pattern too?" an Elder from the Alchemist Guild asked with a mocking sneer.

"No," Yueh Rui said, shaking his head. Just as the crowd was about to laugh, he continued, "It’s not a Pill Pattern. It’s a Pill Pattern Phenomenon!"

"That’s right! It’s a Pill Pattern Phenomenon!"

Having seen everything clearly, Yueh Rui abruptly raised his head, faced the crowd, and announced, "Young Master Ye has refined a Pill with a Pill Pattern Phenomenon! He is the winner!"

"A Pill Pattern Phenomenon!"

Hearing this term, the crowd below instantly erupted in an uproar!

Everyone’s breathing grew ragged, as if they had just heard something unbelievable. Their eyes widened in shock!

For a place like Wutang City, the term "Pill Pattern Phenomenon" was a nonexistent legend, so much so that it had been all but forgotten.

Elixir quality was divided into low, medium, high, and Top Grade. Above those were the Pill Pattern Level, Pill Pattern Phenomenon, and Heavenly Phenomenon!

Reaching the Pill Pattern Level of quality was already the standard of a Pill King!

As for a Pill Pattern Phenomenon, that was something only a high-level Pill King could produce, something that didn’t exist in Wutang City. And as for the last one, the Heavenly Phenomenon...

That was a phenomenon that could only appear when refining a peerless Holy Pill. It represented the Peak Level of Alchemy, something that existed only in myth.

And now, Ye Wushuang had actually produced a Pill Pattern Phenomenon, shattering a legend of Wutang City. How could they not be utterly shaken!
