The arrival of the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor didn't cause much of a stir.

Under the auspices of the three great Pill Sects, order at the alchemy competition site was quickly restored.

Everyone's attention returned to the alchemy event.

"The Sun and Moon Pill Sect is the only alchemist among the twelve Pill Sects of the Heaven-Reaching Tower who is proficient in the Dao of Time. It is said that the pill refined by her grows in potency over time, undergoing the baptism of the sun and moon, often enhancing its effects several times over."

"It is with this method that she concocts a Seventh-Grade Pill!"

"The new disciple that the Sun and Moon Pill Sect took in, Jiegeng Pill Venerable, seems to have also participated in this alchemy event." People turned their attention to a female alchemist at the Alchemy Land, at this moment, this female alchemist's gaze was always on Lin Jing, pondering whether Lin Jing was the Fire Dragon Alchemist to whom she had given the token...

"The Divine Cauldron Pill Sect is said to own three of the top ten pill furnaces in the world. They have nine commonly used pill furnaces, each possessing its own artifact spirit. They are alchemists yet also Sixth-Grade Refiners who solely refine pill furnaces!"

"The Creation Pill Sect is the strongest in combat among the twelve Pill Sects, seizing the creations of heaven and earth during alchemy, and likes to use the power of heaven and earth in alchemy, sealing the power of nature within the pills!"

"In this session of the alchemy competition, who knows what divine pills might emerge under the witness of the three great Pill Sects..."

With the attention of three supreme cultivators of the Alchemy Dao, the alchemists participating in the competition were very nervous.

"Our Qingzhou has always been unrivaled in the level of alchemy."

"The path of immortality begins with alchemy."

"In the ancient world, the first batch of living beings began their journey by crafting external pills and consuming them."

"Later, extraordinary talents invented the method of cultivating internal pills through the art of external pills, thereby ushering in the Golden Core Dao."

"No matter the race, the spirits of cultivation practice the internal pill. Whether it's Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, or Core Formation, whether it's the Golden Core or the Demon Pill, all life cultivation begins here."

"We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, having the best cultivation environment; to give thanks and to remember, the exploration of the Alchemy Dao is the process of giving back. Today, the grand alchemy event in Qingzhou is about to begin. I hope all of you can showcase the pills you have poured countless talents and efforts to create here, letting the Pill Realm of Qingzhou remain perpetually in a state of vigorous development... The Heaven-Reaching Tower hereby announces the official opening of the alchemy competition."

"All alchemists, start your pill furnaces immediately!"

As the words from the Sun and Moon Pill Sect fell, over a hundred alchemists immediately set into motion. Each of them was a renowned alchemy genius and master from various regions, but now that they gathered together, they all seemed rather inconspicuous.

Because, in this alchemy competition, the alchemy level and one's cultivation status were irrelevant; what was tested entirely was the alchemist's talent, wisdom, and innovation ability.

No matter how high an alchemist's success rate in creating high-grade pills, if those pills are creations of predecessors, they hold no value in the alchemy competition.

Thus, at the moment, countless viewers witnessed a shocking scene.

One alchemist after another, more than half used self-created pill refining methods, more than half brought out configurations of pill ingredients that no one had ever seen before.

No one knew what pills each alchemist would concoct next, and because of this, this alchemy event could captivate the hearts of Qingzhou cultivators.

And at this moment... inside Heaven-Reaching City, at least ninety percent of the attention was focused on Lin Jing.

After all, rumors abound that Lin Jing, in this alchemy competition, might refine a Longevity Pill using his own flesh and blood.

"Is it true or not..."

Amid all the attention, Lin Jing was unhurried. At this time, some alchemists used the primitive pill platforms provided by the Heaven-Reaching Tower, while some brought their own pill furnaces and summoned their artifacts.

Lin Jing, however, was different. After the alchemy competition began, what he summoned was not a pill furnace or cauldron, but a pet beast!

A dragon carp!

"Pop!!!" Under countless gazes, Lin Jing summoned a Core Formation early-stage dragon carp.

"A carp? Judging by its attributes, it seems to be a fire attribute? How rare."

The appearance of the dragon carp, in itself, was nothing special. After all, on the spot, there were other alchemists who had pet beasts assisting in alchemy, and in the Alchemy Realm, this was nothing unusual, especially since many demon beasts and spirits were also participating in this competition.

However, the situation with Lin Jing's side seemed different. The other human alchemists' pet beasts mostly just breathed some beast fire to aid in the alchemy, while the main control was still in the alchemist's hands.

But here, Lin Jing, after summoning the pill beast and a heap of materials, just walked to the side, picked up the Celestial Demon Scroll and began to read it, leaving the pill refining scene... entirely in the hands of the dragon carp.

"Start refining." After giving the command, Lin Jing's attention was completely on the Celestial Demon Scroll.

Seeing the people he wished to kill, he smiled.

This Transformation Pill requires the thunder refining method and the Heavenly Thunder Flame, and thus must be done by the dragon carp personally.

While he could also refine it by merging with the dragon carp, using an illusion technique to simulate the Heavenly Thunder Flame, it was too troublesome, and he was someone who disliked trouble.

Moreover, this was not cheating; as a Beast Taming Cultivator, his tamed beasts were part of himself, and even if he did not participate in the pill refinement throughout the entire process, this pill should still be regarded as his creation.

"He's planning to let his pet beast refine the pill itself?" Everyone was stunned, and furthermore, the materials Lin Jing brought out were quite peculiar.

Most of them were Spirit Plants that no one recognized.

In such circumstances, there's only one possibility: the Spirit Plants were improved and cultivated by the alchemist themselves and were not common alchemy materials.

This wasn't surprising, as most alchemists on the site had similar practices.

Because of this, nobody could guess what pill Lin Jing intended to refine. Given the primary ingredient, Transformation Grass, it was no longer its original color, not to mention the Transformation Grass had been extinct for many years, with only the Demon Court having cultivation methods. This Spirit Plant had long been forgotten.

"There are more thunder attribute Spirit Plants. Could it be he's planning to refine a thunder attribute pill? It doesn't seem like a Longevity Pill..." The audience was silent, but the next moment, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Pop!!!" They saw the dragon carp's body rapidly enlarging, swallowing all the alchemy materials on the pill platform in one gulp. Following that, its entire body emanated with a crimson-gold flame that mixed thunder and firepower!!!

As soon as this flame spread, the entire venue's temperature soared. Among the over a hundred alchemists, those whose fire quality was not high found their flames extinguished, drifting and flickering, like subsidiary fires paying homage to the Flame King.

Even some alchemists who refined the top-tier exotic flame found their controlled flames beginning to waver, some becoming uncontrollable.

"What's going on!" Too many alchemists were astounded, looking towards the dragon carp's direction.

"Top-tier exotic flame, Heavenly Thunder Flame? This carp can refine such a dominating flame while in the Core Formation stage, but even so, it's impossible for Heavenly Thunder Flame alone to cause such a reaction among so many flames of the same grade!"

The dragon carp had not yet begun refining pills, but merely used the Flame Emperor's Divine Techniques to merge all its exotic flame powers into an exotic flame centered on Heavenly Thunder Flame. The improved quality of the Heavenly Thunder Flame's potency then suppressed numerous exotic flames, making it difficult for them to maintain their form...
