--- Chapter 156 ---
Baek Ain sat on a stone platform and observed the people from Yao Clan, who accepted his challenge. Most of them are Elders and seasoned geniuses that reached the 8th Tier Alchemy Realm.
In the outside world, there are barely any 9th Tier Alchemists in the Central Plains, and 8th Alchemists also are very scarce. Yet the Yao Clan possessed several of them. They do deserve their current position as one of the Eight Ancient Clans.
And this very clan will become Baek Ain's soon.
"Yao Gurong! Grandmaster Lin, please advise me." A man in his late forties stepped forward. He summoned his Alchemy Furnace and started concocting his pills.
Baek Ain smiled and nodded, snapping his finger. 25% of Gnome's Flame appeared and burned the air, changing its shape into furnace-like and stunning everyone.
"Using Flame as a Furnace..." Everyone was dumbfounded.
It wasn't a formidable technique, considering Alchemists were "strictly." required to have perfect control over their Spiritual Strength and Fire(Beast Flame or Heavenly Flame). The problem is that Baek Ain used this technique in this important event, making it look like he was looking down on them.
How could they not be mad?
It was a blatant underestimation of their Yao Clan's prestige!
Of course, the Clan Chief Yao Dan and the elders didn't think so. Their eyes and senses are keen enough to sense Baek Ain's method of using Flame as a Furnace was different from other Alchemists.
"This... He really turned his Flame into a solid state, molding it into a furnace. Since the furnace was Flame, Medicinal Property can get extracted quickly and increased the chance of success." Yao Dan squinted his eyes. Yes, Baek Ain's method is quite innovative.
"There is also a sliver of Wood Dou Qi inside the furnace, probably to shield materials from being over-extracted and turned into waste. What a genius."
The Elders agreed with Yao Dan's words, looking at Baek Ain like he was a trove of treasure.
Thinking about it, Baek Ain brought a fresh beginning for Alchemy.
"Then, let's begin." Baek Ain picked several herbs and materials.
Yao Gurong nodded and began to refine medicine under everyone's gaze. He was nervous, but this was for Yao Clan's glory.
But just in five minutes, Baek Ain finished his pill.
"Done." Baek Ain casually announced, causing a wave of roar in the crowd.
It's unbelievable how fast his Pill Refining speed was. Some audience blinked, and Baek Ain was "already." done.
"How fast!" Someone hissed fearfully.
"Is this even possible?"
"From the aroma alone, I could tell Grandmaster Lin successfully refined 8th Tier Pill without causing Lightning Calamity... It's either the Lightning Calamity wasn't triggered because the 8th Tier Pill's effect is weak, or it's because his skill is just too fucking absurd that Lightning Calamity felt hopeless."
"Did you hear yourself? Lightning Calamity felt hopeless? Even an 8-Star Dou Saint won't dare to say such a thing."
Even Yao Dan clutched the edge of his seat in disbelief, staring at the green-colored pill with three golden stripes in Baek Ain's hand.
"That pill is the Grand Dou Qi Recovery Pill. It could recover someone's Dou Qi even at Half-Saint Realm and make it more stable, allowing a greater chance to break through. A must-have pill when breaking into Dou Saint Realm." Yao Dan murmured solemnly.
Boom!
"H-How is that even possible?!" Yao Gurong was shocked, and his furnace exploded ironically, leaving a cloud of black smoke on the altar.
Baek Ain shook his head and commented, "Your focus is too weak."
"You have lost."
"Next!"
Baek Ain's unusual performance shocked them as he defeated Yao Clan's Alchemists one after another. Each victory lasted 5-7 minutes before he wiped his next opponent.
Soon they realized just how orthodox his Alchemy's Procedure was.
Unlike the standard and well-known alchemy method, Baek Ain used a systematic preparation and chain of chemical reactions to create more significant results.
Not only was it "shockingly." fast and efficient, but the results it bore were also better than standard. So far, Baek Ain hasn't shown them any failures, and each pill he made is of the highest quality they can be.
If only their overwhelming pride didn't hold them back, Yao Clan's members would have called Baek Ain an Alchemy God.
They didn't realize the person in the room that experienced overwhelming boredom the most was Baek Ain.
'How disappointing...' Baek Ain thought while placing the pills he refined into a container.
He was about to yawn when someone suddenly shouted.
"STOOOOOOOOOOP!!"
"STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!"
Baek Ain glanced at the sky and saw a handsome man in a white robe descending to the altar with a furious look.
"What's the matter, Yao Tian?" Yao Dan frowned at the handsome man.
Baek Ain recalled some memories and recognized this handsome man as the Older Brother of his Disciple.
Yao Tian's body trembled as he pointed his finger at Baek Ain, "Have you guys not realized this man's scheme?"
'Interesting...' Baek Ain smiled inwardly. He could feel the parasites' spawn inside Yao Tian's body have gotten eliminated.
'Is it because of the Heavenly Flame in his body?'
Yao Tian possessed Turtle Spirit Earthly Flame, one of two Heavenly Flames that the Yao Clan has(besides the Golden Wind Flame), due to his talents.
Just like Yao Ling'er, he was one of the pillars of Yao Clan's New Generation.
It seems Yao Tian's skill wasn't too shabby.
Baek Ain acted in confusion, "Scheme?"
"I'm here to see if I could revise my knowledge of Alchemy... To think someone would slander me just because the Yao Clan couldn't endure some loss."
"I'm greatly disappointed." He sighed innocently.
No matter how everyone sees it, Baek Ain hasn't done anything except make pills.
Yao Dan and the elders' expressions turned grim when hearing this. After all, they cannot afford to offend Baek Ain, or the Yao Clan wouldn't get Dou Qi's Blood Purifying Pill Recipes and many other recipes.
Even if Yao Tian detected the connection between the parasites' spawns in his body and Baek Ain, he needed to convince the other first.
Yao Tian gritted his teeth, "STOP ACTING DUMB!"
"You have spread poison-like parasites all over Yao Realm!"
"Thankfully, I noticed the symptoms in my body before it was too late."
"Parasites?" Everyone, including Baek Ain, frowned slightly.
Baek Ain clenched his hand and returned angrily, "This is slander! How dare you accuse me of spreading disgusting things!"
"AS AN ALCHEMIST, I HAVE A PRIDE!!"
Every Alchemist understood Baek Ain's fury because most Alchemists didn't touch parasites in their Alchemy Way. Unlike the Poison Master, who relied on Poison, the Parasites Master is a branch of it, and many Orthodox Alchemists despised such people.
Now that Yao Tian slandered Baek Ain, both sides are awkward.
Baek Ain has long-prepared a fail-safe plan. In case someone nullified his parasites' spawns.
He commanded his parasites to hide and merge deeply within their host three days ago, making them appear invisible to every observation. Even the Yao Dan and the elders couldn't sense the parasites' presence.
"Y-YOU!" Yao Tian was also enraged.
"I'LL KILL YOU AND CLEANSE THE YAO CLAN!"
Yao Tian's body flashed toward Baek Ain as the Turtle Spirit Earthly Flame exploded with such ferocity. Its Earthen-Brown glow blinded anyone below Half-Saint Realm, catching everyone off guard as they would never think Yao Tian dared to attack Baek Ain.
CLANK!
BOOM!
Amidst the chaos, Yao Ling'er abruptly appeared before Baek Ain, trying to protect him with her body and causing Yao Tian's eyes to widen in shock.
A metal bell appeared and protected Baek Ain.
"No!" Yao Tian yelled.
"No, this can't be!"
"YOU BASTARD! YOU EVEN LAID YOUR HAND ON MY SISTER!!"
"DIE!!"
"Yao Tian, Stop!" Yao Dan and the elders moved, trying to besiege Yao Tian under the parasites' influence.
Baek Ain pulled Roc's Spine and flexed his left arm's muscle, throwing the spear with all his might.
Yao Tian might be talented by reaching the High-Stage of the Half-Saint Realm at such a young age. However, his enemy is "unfortunately." Baek Ain.
[True Extreme Lightning Enhancement]
[Golden-Winged Roc's Summon]
CAW~!!!
A bird's cries echoed in the Yao Realm.
A massive bird with a wingspan over a hundred thousand kilometers covered the sky. It let out a furious cry and charged at Yao Tian. contemporary romance
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Baek Ain erupted with Wind and Lightning, rushing toward Yao Tian. He watched Roc's Spine penetrate Yao Tian's chest and pin him to an ancient-looking black wall.
Yao Tian looks pathetic, coughing a mouthful of blood profusely.
Baek Ain floated toward the ancient black wall and grasped the handle of Roc's Spine. "Trying To Stop My Scheme? Too Late~!" He mocked him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAARRGGH!" Yao Tian screamed at top of his lungs. Baek Ain currently looks like a devil in his eyes.
