Chapter 2136: Success

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Grandmaster Tianbao didn’t want to waste his breath on Ye Futian anymore and jumped to start at once. Everyone knew that Grandmaster Tianbao didn’t believe this to be an equal match. He was eager to finish the competition early so he could kill Ye Futian as soon as possible.

Grandmaster would not let Ye Futian live no matter what kind of pills he could make. Ye Futian slaughtered Grandmaster Tianbao’s disciple, who went invite him over for a visit. If he could survive this unscathed, Grandmaster Tianbao would lose all prestige he had on Ninth Street.

Ye Futian shot Grandmaster Tianbao a contemptuous look from behind the mask. Then, he stood on the opposite side and waved his hand. An alchemy cauldron appeared, floating in midair.

“Humph,” Grandmaster Tianbao snorted. Another alchemy cauldron popped up in an instant. Ye Futian and Grandmaster Tianbao stood face-to-face. Their cauldrons were on opposite sides.

Buzz…

A jet of superheated steam immediately shot out and billowed around the cauldrons. The audience near the edge of the stage felt the touch of the intense heat. Some people couldn’t help but raise their arms to protect their faces from the heat. After that, they saw that the Flames of the Way were lit under the two alchemy cauldrons at the same time.

“True Fire of Six Ding.” The crowd sized up Grandmaster Tianbao’s Flames of the Way. The golden flames were blazing under the cauldron and formed a brilliant pattern. Grandmaster Tianbao obtained this ninth-grade imperial-level Flames of the Way during a serendipitous encounter in his early years. It was why he had a high success rate of making ninth-grade pills of the Great Path even though he was only at the peak of the eighth-level Renhuang Plane.

There were only a handful of grandmasters in the alchemy circle. In addition to that, even an Alchemy Grandmaster couldn’t always successfully make pills of the Great Path that were on a par with their cultivation level. Nevertheless, Grandmaster Tianbao’s success rate of making eighth-grade pills of the Great Path was higher than 90%. He could even make an effective ninth-grade elixir three out of ten times. The statistics were awe-inspiring. Apart from his remarkable Flames of the Way, it was also because Grandmaster Tianbao had extraordinary alchemy skills.

Many people looked in Ye Futian’s direction. His Flames of the Way felt unique. Strong and vigorous, they were burning as if they would never die out.

On top of that, the Worldly Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area was flowing toward his Flames of the Way to fuel the blaze.

“Fifth-level, perfect-grade,” the crowd exclaimed. It confirmed the rumor that had been circulating. Grandmaster Tianbao also noticed Ye Futian’s Flames of the Way and began to take him more seriously. A greedy look flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he couldn’t simply kill Ye Futian as he imagined. He needed to find a way to seize hold of Ye Futian’s Flames of the Way first.

While the Flames of the Way were burning, both Ye Futian and Grandmaster Tianbao poured herbs and other ingredients into the alchemy cauldrons, their sleeves flapping in the wind. They closed their eyes to concentrate on creating the elixir. Silence reigned over the stage. The audience was waiting quietly as well. No one dared to speak a word to disturb Grandmaster Tianbao and Ye Futian. Only the crackling sound of the Flames of the Way could be heard.

Elixirs couldn’t be made in an instant. While Ye Futian and Grandmaster Tianbao remained silent on the stage, the spectators started to talk to each other in whispers.

The popping and crackling noises came from both alchemy cauldrons.

“That is…” Someone noticed that Ye Futian’s Flames of the Way formed a dazzling phoenix around the alchemy cauldron.

“His Flames of the Way are so gorgeous,” a person murmured. Moreover, Ye Futian’s Flames of the Way gave them an inexplicable feeling that it would burn for eternity.

It seemed that the mysterious Alchemy Grandmaster was not an ordinary man indeed. No wonder he dared to provoke Grandmaster Tianbao and even issued a direct challenge to compete against him in alchemy.

“This is getting interesting.” Lin Sheng was also among the crowd. Although he was prominent enough to sit on the stage, he chose not to due to the conflict over Ye Futian between him and the Cabinet Master of the Tianyi Pavilion. He would rather watch the match from below.

Ling Sheng was very intrigued by Ye Futian. This mysterious Alchemy Grandmaster was arrogant, overbearing, and eccentric. Why did he act this way? What was his purpose?

Did he want to become famous?

This seemed to be a risky way to gain fame.

“Who do you think will win?” someone whispered under his breath.

“Grandmaster Tianbao, of course. He will surely do his utmost to make a ninth-grade pill of the Great Path this time. With his marvelous ability, it is very likely to be a success. This person is at a much lower cultivation level than Grandmaster Tianbao. We have to wait and see what kind of elixir he can create,” one person replied. It was apparent that most people believed that Grandmaster Tianbao would win a resounding victory.

Everyone was confident that Grandmaster Tianbao’s elixir would be at a higher grade than Ye Futian’s. There was no suspense in that regard.

The Flames of the Way were burning more and more intensely. Ye Futian and Grandmaster Tianbao kept tossing new ingredients into the alchemy cauldrons.

“It looks like Grandmaster Tianbao is attempting to make a ninth-grade elixir.” People could tell what kind of pills Grandmaster Tianbao wanted to make based on the ingredients he put in the cauldron.

Of course, the ingredients Ye Futian used were also rare and precious. He obtained several of them through trading on Ninth Street.

The Flames of the Way blazed up. As time went by, a rich aroma wafted out of the cauldron. Even though the pills were not finished yet, the fragrance was already tantalizing and intoxicating.

The alchemy cauldrons were vibrating in the void, making a sizzling noise.

Grandmaster Tianbao outstretched his arm and slapped on the alchemy cauldron. The cauldron instantly started to spin in front of him. The Great Path’s energy currents rushed down from above as soon as he formed a seal with both hands. Much to everyone’s surprise, the alchemy cauldron was devouring the power of the world.

The terrifying Flames of the Way were licking the alchemy cauldron, and the incandescent glow of the fire illuminated the clouds. The entire sky was turned scarlet.

The flames converged and lunged into the alchemy cauldron like Fiery Dragons.

“Grandmaster Tianbao is making fire-elemental pills of the Great Path. It’s his strong suit.” Some people immediately understood what Grandmaster Tianbao was aiming for.

On the other side, a faint call of the phoenix was coming out of Ye Futian’s alchemy cauldron. A translucent Divine Phoenix took shape and wrapped around the cauldron. Ye Futian was emitting brilliant celestial light from his body. He looked like a heavenly deity as wisps of sacred energy flowing from him to the cauldron.

The Great Path’s divine light shot into the clouds, and an extraordinary phenomenon came into view. A gigantic shadow of a phoenix appeared in the sky as an overpowering aroma rising from the alchemy cauldron. The clanking sound inside the cauldron was becoming louder and louder as well.

“Judging by the extraordinary phenomenon, he is as good as Grandmaster Tianbao!” A lot of people were astonished by Ye Futian’s ability. Ye Futian kept his eyes shut behind the metal mask. He exerted all his strength and went into a state of abstraction. Unlike the conceited man everyone on Ninth Street remembered, Ye Futian looked majestic and dignified like a true master.

“What type of pill is he making?” someone asked.

“If I recall it correctly, he said he came to the Ninth Street to try his luck in searching for the Phoenix’s Marrow of ten thousand years, which is the main ingredient of some elixir.”

“What kind of elixir?” People were curious.

“Immortal Elixir, which can bring the dead back to life. It can grow flesh and bones that will never perish. Therefore, even a dead man with a broken body can come back alive,” someone said. “This man always wears a mask. Could it be that he suffered an irreparable injury to his face and wants to heal it with this elixir?”

“Seems like it’s going to be over soon.” The crowd gazed at the cauldrons without blinking. Grandmaster Tianbao’s performance was to be expected, but Ye Futian did come as a big surprise. The mysterious Alchemy Grandmaster was anything but ordinary for sure.

After a short time, the aroma of the elixirs finally jumped out of the alchemy cauldrons. A beam of divine light pierced the clouds and shone like a high flame. It gave a red glow to the sky above Ninth Street and even cast light upon the areas nearby. Countless people in Giant Gods City turned their eyes to the source of the light.

“The elixir is made.” The audience stared at the scarlet elixir as big as a palm taking shape in front of Grandmaster Tianbao. The flame current rushed frantically toward the dazzling elixir.

The entire area was tinged with red.

“Divine Fire Elixir, ninth-grade,” an expert announced. This was not the first Divine Fire Elixir made by Grandmaster Tianbao. The elixir was extremely beneficial to people who cultivated the Great Path of Fire. Consuming it could directly enhance the cultivator’s Flames of the Way and increase his fire-elemental power. In addition to that, it could temper the cultivator’s body and even cleanse his spiritual soul.

Grandmaster Tianbao took a brief look at the Divine Fire Elixir before putting it away. With a satisfied look on his face, he glanced at Ye Futian on the opposite side. He would love to see what Ye Futian was capable of besides boasting and swaggering.

At this moment, rays of blinding divine light shone out of Ye Futian’s alchemy cauldron. An elixir emerged immediately after that. Furthermore, an enormous shadow of a phoenix also appeared in the void as if it was greeting the elixir.

The elixir rose high in the sky and was caught by the phoenix. Instantly, the will of the Great Path of Life filled the space. Everyone on Ninth Street felt more energetic; it was as though they had been recharged.

“Ugh…”

“Such a powerful pill.”

Ye Futian’s elixir was as good as Grandmaster Tianbao’s, if not better.

“A perfect sixth-grade pill of the Great Path. Impressive,” Lin Sheng expressed his approval, “This pill may be even more effective than the ninth-grade one. Besides, it is probably more helpful for cultivators below the ninth level.”

At this point, Lin Sheng finally understood why Ye Futian was so confident. This pill alone was enough to save Ye Futian’s life today. Plenty of people, including Lin Sheng, would not let Ye Futian die here.

This Alchemy Grandmaster was much more valuable than Grandmaster Tianbao. Lin Sheng would even argue that they were not at the same level at all!
