It could be said that with this Revival Pill, Dan Xian had already qualified to advance into the next round of the alchemy competition, and even seizing the championship among the younger generation of alchemists was almost within his grasp.
After all, basically everyone had only refined seventh-rank treasure pills. Even Ximen Dao and Zhang Feiyang had only produced seventh-rank high-grade pills. However, Dan Xian's Revival Pill, also a seventh-rank high-grade pill, was not the slightest bit inferior to an eighth-rank pill due to the Pill Tribulation it had attracted.
This gave a glimpse of its quality.
Many people secretly sighed, truly worthy of being the Revival Pill, the second-ranked seventh-rank pill only inferior to the God King Pill. Such a treasure pill, once successfully refined, was no worse than an eighth-rank pill. This was also because Dan Xian was from the Alchemy Emperor Clan and possessed superb alchemy skills himself. Otherwise, how could an ordinary alchemy prodigy refine it?
As for the Battle Saint King, although he had obtained the formula for the God King Pill, the top-ranked seventh-rank pill, Dan Xian was unwilling to believe that the other party could truly refine the God King Pill.
In fact, regarding the Battle Saint King's combat prowess, he was genuinely impressed from the bottom of his heart. For a single person to be so monstrous to this extent was indeed worthy of being called the most terrifying prodigy, unparalleled throughout the ages, enough to rival the Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters who possessed the most powerful Emperor bloodline.
But generally speaking, the more monstrous one was in cultivation, the harder it was to also excel in other areas.
Because cultivating other paths could easily affect one's own cultivation, especially alchemy, which required too much time for dedicated refinement.
Even for the most monstrous existence, being able to reach such a cultivation realm at such a young age was already remarkable. To also achieve profound attainments in alchemy was quite unrealistic.
After all, not everyone was like the Alchemy Emperor Clan, who on one hand had the assistance of the Emperor bloodline, speeding up their cultivation, and on the other hand, because the Alchemy Emperor bloodline inheritance provided great assistance to alchemy, allowing the two to progress compatibly together.
They were too few, almost unseen.
Precisely because of this, Dan Xian did not believe the Battle Saint King truly had the ability to refine it.
Naturally, it wasn't just him. Even others turned their gazes towards the Battle Saint King at the edge of the Suppressing Heaven Platform, unable to help but shake their heads slightly, somewhat disbelieving that he could refine the God King Pill.
Ye Chen paid little attention to the outside gazes. He remained seated cross-legged in the void, his expression grave, staring intently at the Chaos Great Cauldron without blinking. Even the Pill Lightning that descended due to Dan Xian refining a pill comparable to an eighth-rank pill did not affect him much.
It could also be seen that from between his eyebrows, a vast amount of soul power—so immense that ordinary Great Powers would admit they were far inferior—continuously poured into the alchemy cauldron. He was in a state of intense concentration and tension, meticulously refining the pill at every moment.
For some reason, anyone could sense that within that alchemy cauldron, a vast beam of light was rapidly gathering together.
This surprised many people, including Dan Xian, who couldn't help but be somewhat distracted. Could the Battle Saint King really refine the God King Pill?
Dan Yang, far outside the Suppressing Heaven Platform, also cast his gaze over. If the Battle Saint King could truly refine it, it would mean the other party's alchemy skills were truly worthy of entering the hall, worthy of his notice.
At this moment, Ye Chen was using the Small Alchemy Cauldron to continuously refine the God King Pill, following the annotations in the formula, not daring to make the slightest mistake in any step.
Fortunately, perhaps his luck had finally erupted after all this time. Up to this point, he had not made any real mistakes, allowing him to smoothly reach the final step.
And at this time, the God King Pill began to condense into a pill under his vast and boundless Chaos Saint Soul power.
However, this was also the most critical step, because once it failed, everything before would be in vain.
Fortunately, the Small Alchemy Cauldron lived up to being one of the mysterious Nine Cauldrons. It possessed mysterious alchemy power, perfectly fusing everything, compensating for Ye Chen's roughness in alchemy, providing the greatest degree of assistance and perfection.
The head-sized seven-colored medicinal liquid had basically been completely refined by this step. A full head-sized mass of brilliant medicinal liquid contained unparalleled, terrifying divine energy, imbued with the abundant divine energy of many medicinal spirits. If it exploded, even Ye Chen, who was right in front of it, would suffer a serious attack.
However, under the condensation of Ye Chen's powerful Chaos Saint Soul power, everything began to rapidly condense. It could be seen that this mass of medicinal liquid, as large as a human head, began to shrink rapidly.
After an hour, it had already shrunk to the size of an adult fist. Yet, this was not truly over, because the ultimate goal was to condense it to the size of a thumb.
But the medicinal liquid now presented a rather unstable state. If it continued to condense and shrink, an unpredictable explosion was very likely to occur, ultimately leading to the destruction of the pill and the dissipation of its energy. Everything would ultimately be in vain.
However, Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul was almost fully released, completely covering every inch of space within the alchemy cauldron, and it was extremely meticulous, closely observing every minute change to avoid accidents.
Not long after, the fist-sized medicinal liquid had already shrunk to the size of half a fist, and it was still continuously shrinking.
Finally, after being refined by layers of Chaos Dao Fire, it had shrunk to the size of a thumb. At the same time, it began to truly condense into a pill.
Only, the moment of pill formation before him was extremely unstable. The surface of the entire pill was covered with countless small, sunken black dots, not smooth at all, and it trembled violently. Large amounts of spiritual energy continuously overflowed, as if it might explode completely at any moment.
Cold sweat also covered Ye Chen's forehead, because his true alchemy skill didn't even reach the seventh rank. This was his first time refining the top-ranked seventh-rank God King Pill, and he was truly under immense pressure.
He could only use his vast and boundless Chaos Saint Soul power to completely cover it, flooding every corner, using his own power to try his utmost to control the failure and master the Small Alchemy Cauldron, hoping for successful pill condensation.
Crack—
Suddenly, the already unstable God King Pill now developed numerous cracks within. Terrifying and violent power continuously overflowed from it, causing Ye Chen's expression to change.
This was clearly a sign of unsuccessful pill condensation, that the pill was about to be destroyed.
What to do?
Even Ye Chen could only watch this happen helplessly, because his alchemy skill was ultimately too poor.
Hum—
Right at this moment, the Small Alchemy Cauldron within the Chaos Great Cauldron, which was actually doing the refining, trembled with a hum. During this, streams of mysterious light emerged, enveloping the God King Pill that was about to explode. Surprisingly, it caused the destructive fluctuations within to stabilize.
Incredible!
Even Ye Chen was stunned!
Soon, the pill completely took form. Wrapped in the mysterious light, a thumb-sized pill with nine pill patterns truly formed and appeared.
Each pattern on it was a brilliant color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white. Nine colors appeared, like the sequence of the Nine Immortal Chaos Golds, each shining with a different brilliant hue!
At the same time, the moment the pill truly formed, Ye Chen decisively submerged the Small Alchemy Cauldron into the deep space of the Chaos Great Cauldron. Because at this moment, a thick beam of light suddenly erupted from the God King Pill, shooting straight up into the sky with a boom, heading towards the heavens, attracting the attention of all parties.
