This was the best antidote for his recent frustrations.
Trembling, he walked toward the cauldron and continued to ignite the flames.
“If that brat Ye Chen returns one day and finds out that the Medical God sect is gone, he’ll probably be very disappointed in me. No matter what, I have to give it my all in the competition the day after tomorrow!”
At the same time, in the red mansion in the Land of Slaughter, an old man sat cross-legged.
What was different from Duan Huai An was that there were ten cauldrons floating around this old man!
Flames condensed in his hand and instantly devoured all of the cauldrons, and it seemed that everything around him was under his control.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and sneered, “Open!”
A violent wind blew, fanning the flames. When the cauldron was opened, countless medicinal herbs were swept up by the wind and entered the cauldron, which then closed.
The process was smooth and accurate.
Almost instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance began to overflow from the cauldron.
The old man looked extremely relaxed.
After half an hour, the old man waved his arm and the ten cauldrons fell to the ground.
Crackling sounds rang out continuously!
Who would have thought that out of the ten cauldrons, the pill refining in eight of them were successful!
The old man stood up and clenched his fist, and all of the completed pills flew into his palm.
The color and the grade of the pills were excellent!
“Although it’s not perfect, an 80% success rate is enough to crush everyone.”
“That overconfident Duan Huai An really thinks that the Medical God sect is still the same as it was a thousand years ago?”
“A mere piece of trash dares to challenge me? Since you want to challenge me so badly, I’ll mercilessly humiliate you the day after tomorrow and let you see what the supreme Alchemy Dao of the Kunlun Mountains is!”
“When my Alchemy Dao stabilizes and I succeed in refining pills with human sacrifices, I should go visit the Alchemy Alliance. I want to make the entire Kunlun Mountains tremble!”
The old man laughed heartily.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and his expression regained its original seriousness.
“Come in.”
Not long after, the door opened and a white-haired old man walked in.
It was the same person from the stone tablet today.
“Alchemy Master Hong,” the old man greeted respectfully.
“Is there anyone else willing to challenge me?” Hong Tao nodded and asked directly.
It would not be difficult to defeat Duan Huai An alone. It would be best if someone from the Alchemy Alliance stepped up to join the fray.”
Although he asked this question, he knew very well that most people with brains would not accept the challenge. After all, he had only issued the challenge to improve his reputation in the Land of Slaughter.
“Alchemy Master Hong… There’s one person from the Land of Slaughter who accepted the challenge,” the old man glanced at Hong Tao and said.
Hong Tao was startled, but he quickly reacted, “Ruo An Xi?”
“No.”
“Could it be Daoist Ghost Pill?”
“No.”
At this moment, Hong Tao’s brows furrowed even more tightly. He stood up and asked, “Other than these two, who else in the Land of Slaughter dares to challenge me?”
“Could it be that there are hidden alchemists here?”
The old man hesitated for a few seconds before explaining, “Alchemy Master Hong, the challenger is a young man wearing a mask. He looks very unfamiliar. If I’m not wrong, he should only have entered the Land of Slaughter not long ago.”
“Young man?”
Hong Tao sneered.
Alchemy Dao was not an ordinary cultivation path. Talent could determine many things, but alchemy needed time and practice, without which it was extremely difficult to become successful.
A young man wanted to challenge him?
Pah!
Duan Huai An had challenged him, and being the sect master of the Medical God sect, he definitely knew a thing or two about alchemy, so this made sense.
However, this young man’s challenge…
What was the difference between this and a joke?
“Do you know what this young man’s name is and what alchemy grade he has reached?” Hong Tao asked coldly.
The old man shook his head.
“This masked young man is very mysterious. I don’t even know his name. He even hid his face. Should I send someone to get in touch with him? Or erase him?”
Hong Tao laughed loudly.
“You’re thinking too much. If something really happened to that kid, I reckon that many people in the Land of Slaughter would think that I did it. There’s no need to bother with that ant. He still has two days to live. When the time comes, I’ll personally send him on his way!”
“I want to burn him alive in front of everyone in the Kunlun Mountains and show them the price of courting death!”
At this moment, Hong Tao was a little deranged.
Back then, he was famous for his madness and bloodthirst in the Alchemy Alliance. Otherwise, he would not have chosen the path of human sacrifice in his pursuit of alchemy.
Ye Chen naturally was not bothered about anything that was happening outside, and his consciousness had already entered the Samsara Graveyard.
Once again, he arrived in front of the hundred tombstones, feeling a bevy of emotions.
Without the Samsara Graveyard, it would have been very difficult for him to reach this stage.
Although he still did not understand what the people of the Samsara Graveyard wanted him to do in the future, and how he could help them, it was no longer important. They had done their best for him, so it was only right that he reciprocated.
In any case, he would only discover the true secrets of the Samsara Graveyard and the things that had happened in the past. If there was an enemy that even these hundred ancient mighty experts could not contend against, then it would be a long time before he was strong enough to even encounter this enemy.
Ye Chen stopped thinking about it and looked at Lin Qingxuan’s tombstone.
“Master, I have a request.”
The Immortal Lord had disappeared, and Duan Leiren had gone somewhere in the Kunlun Mountains to investigate something. Now, the only person he could rely on was Lin Qingxuan.
He did not know when the next few tombstones would be unlocked, but since only a few tombstones had started to stir, it was likely that it would be some time.
Lin Qingxuan’s tombstone shook. Green smoke billowed, and a figure emerged from it.
Lin Qingxuan looked at Ye Chen.
“Disciple, do you want to learn alchemy from me?”
Ye Chen was stunned. On second thought, it was normal for a mighty figure like Lin Qingxuan to know about such things. He nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Lin Qingxuan took a step forward and appeared in front of Ye Chen.’T originally wanted to teach you all of the supreme medical skills, but now it seems that alchemy is more important to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan waved his arm, and dozens of cauldrons appeared in the Samsara Graveyard.
Ye Chen counted. There were forty-nine cauldrons!
Lin Qingxuan came to the center of the cauldron and explained to Ye Chen, “That Hong Tao fellow is a saint grade alchemist. If you want to surpass him, you must at least reach the saint king grade in alchemy. However, you only have two short days, so it’s almost impossible! The only way is to take the unconventional path.”
“Fortunately, you have a great advantage that is vital to your mastery of alchemy.”
“Master, what are you talking about?” Ye Chen was confused.
“The Immortal Flames,” Lin Qingxuan said lightly..
