Chapter 2102 - 2103: Three Abnormal Fires! (Second Update)

Boom!

Firelight surged, and a cyan flame soared up from beneath the alchemy furnace.

"Green Lotus Earth Core Fire!"

"Wow, it’s an abnormal fire!"

"And it’s particularly suitable for refining elixirs!"

Below the stage, many people exclaimed in astonishment. Alchemists who wield abnormal flames are each a formidable presence.

The Great Elder Yan Zhong of Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion showed a hint of a smile, casting a slightly provocative glance toward the direction of Yuntian Commerce.

The alchemist possessing the abnormal fire was his trump card to defeat Ling Feng.

Following closely, another surge of flames rose as the dual-pupil alchemist also conjured his own primordial true fire.

Lo and behold, another abnormal fire!

Unlike the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, this abnormal fire was seldom known by name.

"It’s the Heart Burning Fire!"

The ghastly white light carried an immensely hot temperature, and the domineering flames almost threatened to burn the pill furnace.

On the high platform, Elder Tao Hong of Pure Yang Palace squinted slightly, his mouth curling into a smile.

It seemed that the trip to Yeruo City might not be in vain after all.

Heart Burning Fire ranks above Green Lotus Earth Core Fire on the abnormal fire list, but its handling is naturally more difficult, and it’s not very ideal for alchemy.

Which is superior depends on the fire control skill applied.

Before the crowd could stabilize their emotions, a third abnormal fire appeared.

On Ling Feng’s side, an abnormal fire was also conjured!

In contrast to the terrifying heat when the other alchemists conjured their fires, Ling Feng’s side gave off a desolate and chilling sensation.

"Cangming Earth Core Flame!"

The abnormal fire that Ling Feng conjured was none other than Cangming Earth Core Flame.

With the growth of his divine power, Ling Feng could now condense a higher-grade abnormal fire than Xuanhuang Flame, that is, Cangming Earth Core Flame. (PS: The origin of Cangming Earth Core Flame must be traced back to when Ling Feng was still in the Sky White Empire, where Elixir Demon Sword Fool of the Sky Alliance Commerce imparted two major abnormal fires to Ling Feng, see "Chapter 737: Nanming Leaving Fire.")

The appearance of Cangming Earth Core Flame stirred the crowd into a frenzy again.

Ordinarily, it’s rare to witness even one abnormal fire, yet today, they had seen three at once!

"It’s getting more interesting!"

Tao Hong, seated on the high platform before the alchemists, eyes sparkling, observed every move of the alchemists, focusing his attention particularly on the Purple Robed Alchemist of Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, the extraordinary dual-pupil alchemist, and Ling Feng.

Though the competition had just begun, he was already certain that the final victory lay among these three, with the others merely as backdrop.

The Violent Yuan Elixir is just a fourth-level elixir, easy to refine, and not particularly captivating.

Zhuo Fang and another young girl in green clothes displayed more or less surprise.

Who would’ve thought that in this small Yeruo City, three alchemists wielding abnormal fires would appear?

...

Quickly, time passed.

Everyone presented their refined elixirs.

Soon, Tao Hong finished the evaluation, and after the first round, more than half of the alchemists were eliminated, with only thirteen advancing to the second round!

Among these thirteen alchemists was Lio Jun!

"I actually advanced!"

Lio Jun’s face showed an incredulous smile. Even he didn’t expect that under Tao Hong’s rigorous selection, he would advance.

"Believe in yourself, and you can do it!"

Ling Feng cast an encouraging glance at him. Lio Jun indeed had talent, but unfortunately, he had been fumbling in the dark without direction for a long time.

After receiving guidance from Ling Feng, he finally made a formal entry.

"How... how is this possible?"

In the saying of some rejoice and others sorrow, Master Cheentian was unexpectedly halted in the first round.

His face was full of disbelief, knowing what Lio Jun was capable of.

Yet, in just half a month’s time, Lio Jun’s alchemy skill had far surpassed his?

He couldn’t possibly know that Lio Jun had the guidance of a famed teacher like Ling Feng, progressing rapidly, and was no longer the same as before.

After a short break, the second round of the competition began.

The elixir to be refined in the second round was relatively more challenging.

Sixth-level Elixir, Dragon Power Elixir!

This is also a kind of auxiliary elixir, capable of exploding with brute force comparable to a demon within a short period, hence the name Dragon Power Elixir.

As Ling Feng reviewed the elixir recipe, others had already started extracting the herbs. Evidently, they were very familiar with Dragon Power Elixir.

Slightly pursing his lips, Ling Feng felt a bit helpless.

The elixir recipes he’d previously come across were either of extremely high grade or ancient, and he didn’t care to refine something like Dragon Power Elixir.

So, he was a step behind in this initial stage.

"Look, that young fellow using Cangming Earth Core Flame can’t keep pace!"

"It seems he’s not a match for the other two after all, still too youthful!"

The crowd nodded, agreeing that Ling Feng, by comparison, was indeed much younger than the other two.
