Chapter 63: Tyrannical Life-Devouring Pill
However, the Medicine Sect was extremely mysterious and had always lived in seclusion. They rarely appeared in front of the world, so people don’t know much about them. However, every time the Medicine Sect appeared, it was extremely extraordinary.
“It’s actually someone from the Medicine Sect. No wonder it’s like this.”
Han Tian’s refining method was quite strange. It was different from the others present. Everyone’s attention was gradually attracted to him.
“Huh, he first threw himself into the Polar Hand, and then he used the Dew of the Dark Night. These two medicinal ingredients clash so fiercely that ordinary people would find it difficult to use them to refine medicine. What is he trying to refine?”
Han Tian’s cauldron glowed with a dim light. On it were engraved ancient-looking patterns and symbols. It looked quite old, and it should also be an item left behind from ancient times. It looked quite extraordinary.
Han Tian’s gaze was serene and calm. His every movement revealed an indescribable Dao charm, causing people to unconsciously follow him.
Everyone saw that Han Tian had thrown in quite a number of medicinal ingredients. They were the kind that complemented and countered each other. Their hearts were immediately filled with extreme doubts.
“According to his refining method, the medicinal ingredients are so aggressive. Moreover, they are all extremely overbearing items. Before other people’s pill aura interferes, I’m afraid that he has already self-detonated his cauldron.”
“Isn’t this Han Tian a little too confident in himself? Even if he is Han Tian Senior’s disciple, does he really think that he can neutralize such complicated medicinal properties?”
Everything has a certain law, and it was the same for refining medicinal pills. One needed to follow the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, conform to nature, and follow the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, medicinal pills had to be pure. Even if he succeeded in refining it, his aura would be mottled and damage the medicinal pill.
Everyone did not think highly of him. They did not know what he was planning.
“Han Tian is Han Tian Senior’s disciple. It’s impossible that he doesn’t know these basic principles. Then what does he want to do?”
Everyone guessed for a long time, but there was still no result. At this moment, everyone was starting to take action. To be able to reach this step, he must have some ability. He already had a plan for the pill he wanted to refine.
They were all very fast. However, in terms of who was better, Baizhi and Han Tian were the two that sood out.
As the medicinal ingredients entered the cauldron, everyone was very focused. They were afraid that there would be any mistakes. The time for half an incense stick to burn had passed, but they still did not dare to relax for even a moment.
This was just the beginning. The real competition had just begun. With the faint medicinal fragrance, not only the people in the arena, but also those outside the arena were extremely focused.
“Could it be that someone is going to succeed?”
Bang!
There was another loud sound. A huge explosion resounded throughout the entire arena. Everyone was stunned on the spot. Soon after, they recovered and revealed a look of understanding. It was as if they had long expected this.
The medicinal pills that everyone had refined were in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Their pill auras intersected and easily affected the people around them.
This sound was like a signal. Soon after, many people’s cauldrons exploded like fireworks and firecrackers. The crackling sound was incessant. Those who did not know better would have thought that this was the new year.
“I knew this round wouldn’t be easy.”
The others sighed. This had eliminated more than half of the people.
Although the medicinal pills refined by many people were extremely gentle and they tried their best to minimize the possibility of exploding their cauldrons, the medicinal pills refined by the people beside him had a few conflicting medicinal properties. Clearly, this method would not work.
They clearly saw that they were only a few steps away from success, but their efforts had fallen short. Everyone present had looks of pity on their faces.
As the green smoke was already half a column, wisps of pill aura spread out. Everyone subconsciously held their breaths, but Han Tian’s cauldron suddenly emitted a clanging sound, as if it was a golden spear and an iron horse.
A powerful aura instantly suppressed the entire scene, so much so that even the people outside could feel it.
The disciple closest to him suddenly let out a wail, “My pill!”
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the green pill aura floating on his cauldron seemed to have lost all of its spiritual energy and life, and had suddenly become gray and defeated.
“What’s going on?!”
The others were extremely puzzled, but they could tell that it was caused by Han Tian. This was because there was a ball of black fog lingering on his cauldron, as if it had been endowed with life. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and like a ghost, it floated on the scene.
Any cauldron that touched the black fog would lose its life essence rapidly. It could not gather any pill aura at all. If the pill aura could not be gathered, then this cauldron of pills would be considered useless.
Even if pill aura was successfully condensed, it would be completely absorbed by the black fog. It would not be able to escape the fate of dissipating. It could be said that this black fog was simply tyrannical.
“This black fog is also a form of pill aura. I’ve never seen such a strange appearance. Could it be that he refined it?!” Someone seemed to have thought of something and immediately revealed an expression of disbelief.
It was to the extent that the person beside him hurriedly urged, “What did he refine? Quickly say it!”
“The Life-devouring Pill!”
The moment his voice fell, there was a moment of silence. The Life-devouring Pill was extremely rare. One reason was that its scope of effect was too small. The second reason was that it was extremely difficult to refine.
However, this pill was overbearing. It could absorb the life essence of other pills and convert them into its own use. Hence, when condensing pill aura, it would have this kind of effect.
It could be said that once the Life-devouring Pill appeared, no pill could escape it.
Many alchemists had read many pill recipes and knew that Han Tian was refining the Life-devouring Pill. Even those who did not know could guess a thing or two from the scene in front of them.
“Damn it, he actually refined the Life-devouring Pill. Is he going to let us live or not?”
The Life-devouring Pill was extremely domineering. It could devour the pill aura in the surroundings, thus preventing the pill aura from fusing too much together, causing the cauldron to explode. At the same time, it could also eliminate other competitors. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
