The flames were first red.

Then they turned purple.

This signified that the flames were extremely hot.

Just as everyone stared dumbfounded at the flames controlled by Fang Yu.

A light burst forth from the Furnace Tripod in front of Fan Wuji.

Black Eagle excitedly said: "The Elixir Pills are seeing light, at least Fourth Grade!"

However—

Fan Wuji did not stop the movements of his hands.

His palms struck out again, robust Inner Essence surged like natural gas, providing abundant fuel for the flames.

"Three parts fire intensity, three parts momentum, three parts medicinal herbs, one part destiny!"

"Rise!"

Fan Wuji's mastery over the flames had almost reached perfection; wherever he wanted the flames to go, they would obediently follow.

On the other side, Fang Yu.

He was wholeheartedly manipulating the Supreme Yang Fire!

The fire was burning the Furnace Tripod with extreme ferocity.

Very soon.

The entire Furnace Tripod became fiery red!

A Furnace Tripod is made of metal after all; how could it withstand such a fierce blaze?

Black Eagle sneered:

"There's not even a scent, at most Second Grade!"

Upon hearing his words.

Ye Wenjun's heart started pounding. Her delicate fists clenched tight, sweaty palms within.

"Don't worry..." Shangguan Linghui consoled.

"It seems very disadvantageous," said Ye Wenjun.

"Alchemy is all about the final results, not the process... As far as I know, the higher the grade of the Elixir Pills, the stricter the conditions... Fang Yu spent so long selecting medicinal herbs, which means that the herbs he needs are also very demanding... And moreover, he's using Purple Fire, from a distance of a Zhang..."

"What do you mean?" Ye Wenjun asked softly.

"I can't be certain either, I've just heard from my elders that this method of Alchemy has long since vanished..."

After all, Shangguan Linghui was not a true Pharmacist, she had some basic knowledge but didn't know what grade of Elixir Pills Fang Yu was refining.

Just as everyone looked at Fang Yu with confusion—

A red light appeared atop Fan Wuji's Furnace Tripod.

Circling back and forth inside the tripod.

A spherical fireball was wrapped within.

Black Eagle pronounced loudly: "The Elixir Pills are forming, capable of condensing Essence Blood, at least a Fifth Grade Soul Condensing Pill!"

Upon these words.

Chen Daotian couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn, is this old guy that formidable? Could it be that Brother Yu is going to fail?"

"Alas, Brother Yu really isn't suited for Alchemy, only for killing... In a moment let's take action first and get rid of that man in black," said Xu Huawen.

"What do you mean?"

"Of course, we'll renege on the bet... Could we really gamble with them? I hate Hongmen," Xu Huawen said resentfully.

"..." Chen Daotian simply rolled his eyes.

Boom—

The Furnace Tripod before Fang Yu fell down, crashing onto the table.

He stopped the flames.

Patted his hands and quietly waited.

Seeing this, everyone was puzzled.

Why stop if the Elixir Pills aren't finished? Isn't this conceding?

In contrast to Fan Wuji, who didn't stop at all; his refining seemed to get faster and the flames became increasingly intense.

The face of Black Eagle turned red.

He knew that this would be a precious Elixir Pill.

Finally—

With a whoosh, the Furnace Tripod spun up into the air.

Crackling!

The sound of lightning and thunder came from outside.

Dark clouds rolled.

The sky was overcast!

"Heavenly phenomenon! This must be a Sixth Grade Elixir Pill!" Black Eagle declared.

Sixth Grade Elixir Pills!

Those who did not understand Alchemy didn't know what this Sixth Grade meant.

But to see his face so excited, one could imagine how precious and valuable this Sixth Grade Elixir Pill was.

As thunder continued to resound.

The whole house felt as if it was trembling.

Fan Wuji's expression was fervent.

"For so many years, I haven't concocted Sixth Grade Elixir Pills... Today, for my disciple, I must concoct a Sixth Grade Elixir Pill! As long as it can serve my vengeance! I am willing to burn my lifespan!"

Hiss—

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Fan Wuji used a knife to cut open his finger.

With a grand wave of his hand, blood was scattered across.

Sizzling.

Sizzle, sizzle—

"Essence Blood!? Using Essence Blood as a catalyst! Elder Fan, you mustn't!" Black Eagle exclaimed in shock.

Even Fang Yu was taken aback by this scene.

Using Essence Blood to intensify the furnace flames.

To stabilize the medicinal properties of the Soul Condensing Pill.

Essence Blood can often make the flames purer.

But...

Losing Essence Blood is akin to losing lifespan.

I didn't expect this old guy to be willing to make such a big sacrifice just to win!

Fang Yu secretly clicked his tongue and crossed his arms.

"Ah—"

Fan Wuji let out a long howl.

Bang!

A bolt of purple lightning struck the windows of the hotel.

Crash! The glass shattered into pieces.

The thick bolt of Purple Fire instantly vanished without a trace.

Even though it was just a single bolt of Purple Fire, it was enough to make Black Eagle's face turn red with excitement.

"Dan Thunder! This is Dan Thunder! Elixir Pills that even the heavens are jealous of! It's for Seventh Grade Elixir Pills!"

Seventh Grade!!!

Boom—

The Furnace Tripod landed on the table, smashing it, then hit the floor.

Fragrance wafted everywhere.

All became quiet.

At the same time.

Fan Wuji stumbled backwards, his face turning pale, barely managing to stand.

Concocting this Seventh Grade Elixir Pill had indeed exhausted much of his Mental Power. Moreover, he had sacrificed his Essence Blood and lifespan.

The few strands of black hair he once had were now all white.

This elicited an outpouring of sighs from the crowd, while also causing concern for Fang Yu at his side.

"Admirable, admirable..."

Fang Yu clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect you'd dare to sprinkle your own Essence Blood into concocting an elixir pill."

Fan Wuji snorted coldly: "My whole life has been devoted to Elixir Pills, with the sole purpose of concocting the finest... Now that I have concocted a Seventh Grade Elixir Pill... I only hope that you will keep your promise! Otherwise... even in death, I will ensure that Hongmen pays with your dog life!"

Fang Yu replied with a light chuckle:

"Don't worry, I may not have many virtues, but I have one — I particularly value promises. It's because of this that I got a beautiful wife."

"..."

Ye Wenjun couldn't help but lower her head.

What time was it, yet he still had the mood for jokes.

She really didn't know what he was thinking.

Ye Wenjun knew Fang Yu was powerful, but she never knew he could also practice Alchemy.

This Fan Wuji seemed to be quite skilled in Alchemy.

If they were to lose—

Ye Wenjun didn't know how to face the situation.

...

Fan Wuji approached the Furnace Tripod, opened it, and the even stronger fragrance spread all around.

He took out the purple elixir pill from within the tripod and showed it to everyone—

"Ladies and gentlemen, a Seventh Grade Elixir Pill, the Soul Condensing Pill!"

Is this a Seventh Grade Elixir Pill?

Is this the elixir pill that even the heavens envy?

For a while, the surroundings were abuzz with conversation.

The brothers of the Dark Web, not understanding the Cultivators, naturally didn't know what the pill represented.

But Black Eagle strode forward and knelt down: "Elder Fan, may I request you bestow this pill upon me!"

Fan Wuji frowned slightly and said, "Bestow it upon you?"

"My Cultivation has been stagnating for a while, and I felt the bottleneck stage coming on a few days back. Alas, I was unable to achieve a breakthrough. If I am assisted by a Seventh Grade Soul Condensing Pill, I am certain I can break through to the Earth Rank and achieve the Heavenly Rank! Please, Elder Fan, grant me this favor!"
