Chapter 544: Refining the Nourishing Pill, Shocking the Entire Arena!
Not only in Gu You's mind, but in the minds of everyone present, even though Wu Tian had revealed himself as the Cai Lin Pavilion Master, it still seemed impossible for him to refine an eighth-tier pill in such a short period of time.
While the Pill Gathering had no time limit, if anyone else attempted this, they would merely embarrass themselves.
But if Wu Tian did it?
It wouldn't just be his own reputation on the line
It would be the reputation of the entire Cai Lin Pavilion.
He could not afford to delay.
Even Gu You, an infamous figure in Central Plains, had not resorted to such tactics.
Of course, that was because he had absolute confidence in his plan.
But now
Wu Tian had shattered that plan.
By releasing his Heavenly Flames, he had extinguished the fire of all four Soul Hall alchemists!
Gu You had never even considered this possibility.
Even though he possessed a fragment of the Void Devouring Flame, and had previously wielded the Wind Fury Dragon Flame,
He had never thought of using them in such a way.
Because he simply couldn't do it.
But what he couldn't do,
Wu Tian could.
Wu Tian, the man who had fused multiple Heavenly Flames, was practically the King of Fire.
If the top-ranked Emperor Flame had achieved its supremacy by devouring other flames,
Then Wu Tian had done the same.
At this moment, his flames rivaled even the Void Devouring Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
As a king among flames, all lesser fires had no choice but to bow before him.
To Wu Tian, the stares locked onto him from all sides meant nothing.
He didn't care what they thought
Because the truth would soon slap them in the face.
If he couldn't even refine a mere eighth-tier pill,
Then what was the point of his Heaven Realm Soul?
Before everyone's disbelieving eyes,
Wu Tian snapped his fingers
And a small ember shot forth.
In the blink of an eye
That tiny flame once again expanded infinitely, spreading across the sky.
The searing heat wave it unleashed felt like a miniature sun,
Causing everyone below to break into a cold sweat.
The sheer intensity of its energy made everyone feel like insects before a true powerhouse.
The crimson glow enveloped all the medicinal ingredients Wu Tian had prepared.
Then
The fire compressed itself into a perfect sphere,
Unlike before, where it spread without restraint.
This time, it was a condensed core of refined power.
And then
Before everyone's stunned eyes
More than half of the medicinal ingredients instantly liquefied!
The arena fell into utter silence.
"This… this is insane!"
These weren't ordinary herbs.
They were highly resistant, priceless treasures, each possessing immense medicinal properties.
For an eighth-tier alchemist, extracting the essence of these ingredients required at least seven full days of work.
Yet Wu Tian had done it in an instant.
Everyone watching sucked in a sharp breath.
This was the difference.
Not just in alchemy skill.
Not just in flame quality.
But also in soul strength, control, and precision.
This was beyond their reach.
Even the most experienced alchemists present had never seen some of the rare herbs Wu Tian was using.
They were too rare, too precious, too difficult to refine.
Yet he was refining them all at once.
Without a cauldron.
Relying only on his soul power.
Each herb required different temperatures and flame control,
Yet Wu Tian handled them all perfectly, as if it were effortless.
Even the Pill Tower's three giants Xuan Kong Zi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi looked utterly shaken.
"This… this is his true power?"
"A soul of this magnitude… he's definitely at the Heaven Realm!"
"If nothing unexpected happens… the pill he's refining will be beyond our understanding!"
Meanwhile, Cao Ying and Dan Chen gazed at Wu Tian in awe.
Though both were peerless alchemy prodigies, in front of Wu Tian,
They were nothing but ordinary girls.
His control, his precision, his sheer dominance over flame and alchemy
This wasn't the level of a monster.
This was the level of an ancient demon.
For years, the entire continent had assumed that Wu Tian was an old monster who had lived for countless years.
Yet in reality
He had been in this world for less than ten years.
Not even eight years, to be exact.
Among the herbs he used, two were familiarly recognized by Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
They were among the rarest ingredients, personally safeguarded by Xuan Kong Zi himself.
And now
They were in Wu Tian's hands.
"Wait a minute… so Pill Tower sponsored this?!"
Xuan Kong Zi: (╬ಠ益ಠ)
"Sponsored?! The hell it was! That bastard stole it!!!"
"A win-win! It's a win-win!!!"
Meanwhile, Gu You's face was as dark as ink as he stared at the colorless Dan Thunder clouds gathering above Wu Tian.
His chilling gaze burned with murderous intent.
"What… kind of monster is he?"
"Why is there no record of him in the history of the Dou Qi Continent?!"
"How many times are we going to underestimate him before we finally get rid of him?!"
"Where is his limit?"
Last time, Wu Tian had revealed his Saint-level strength.
Now
He had revealed a Heaven Realm Soul.
With his Heavenly Flames, he was practically invincible.
"He must die."
"If he isn't eliminated…"
"Then Soul Hall will be."
Gu You clenched his teeth as he fixed his gaze on Wu Tian.
At that moment
Wu Tian was completely different from his usual lazy, carefree self.
His eyes were focused.
Because the pill he was refining had to succeed.
No matter the cost, it must succeed.
Because
This eighth-tier Nourishing Pill
Was meant for Cai Lin and their unborn child.
As a husband, as a father,
He had to give them the absolute best protection.
His alchemy skills were already at their peak,
But this pill had to be perfect.
He would make sure
That the entire Dou Qi Continent would remember the birth of this pill.
