The Grand Sky Sect's arrogance led to the Rosefinch Spirit Flame's crushing defeat by the Kylin True Flame!

Chu Xinghe had already imagined the discussions that would arise after his failure.

Although this topic might not be as sensational as losing to Martial Emperor City, the fact that the Grand Sky Sect had just defeated Martial Emperor City, only to lose to the Heavenly Medicine Palace due to Chu Xinghe's arrogance, would surely keep the buzz alive!

And having lost this battle due to his arrogance, along with the sect's reputation, could the Great Elder not punish him?

Could the Sect Master not be furious?

Would he still be able to keep his status as a personal disciple?

Would the Grand Sky Sect's reputation not take a hit?

It was simply a win-win situation!

With immense joy, Chu Xinghe began refining the Feather Transformation Pill.

One by one, the materials were placed into the pill furnace in an orderly manner. With the support of the Rosefinch Spirit Flame, the refining process proceeded smoothly.

However, he wasn't worried about the furnace exploding at all.

The Rosefinch Spirit Flame was inherently violent, and with the Rosefinch Furnace's volatility, once the aquamarine was thrown in, he wouldn't even need to act; the explosion would be inevitable!

On the other side, Luo Ying'er's refining process was no slower than Chu Xinghe's. Under the influence of the Kylin True Flame, although her pill furnace wasn't as formidable as the Rosefinch Furnace, it was still extraordinary. Various herbs were placed into the furnace one after another, and the refining of the Feather Transformation Pill progressed smoothly.

Soon, Luo Ying'er picked up the plantain Chu Xinghe had prepared. After carefully examining it multiple times to ensure there was no issue, she placed it into the furnace.

Her refining process finally reached its climax.

Waves of medicinal fragrance began to waft from the furnace, accompanied by which, wisps of purple smoke emerged.

"Exquisite Purple Smoke! This is a sign of a top-grade pill!"

"Even with the addition of plantain, the Kylin True Flame can still refine a top-grade pill?"

"Luo Ying'er's alchemy skills are terrifying. Junior Brother Xinghe might have miscalculated this time."

In the Medicine King Palace, everyone watched as more and more purple smoke drifted from Luo Ying'er's furnace, their expressions growing serious.

Wu Qun's face was full of smiles, while the Great Elder opposite him looked worriedly at Chu Xinghe, unable to understand what Chu Xinghe was up to.

Proposing additional rules was one thing, but when the opponent chose aquamarine, why didn't he choose it too?

What was the meaning of giving her plantain?

Could it be that Xinghe was getting overconfident after yesterday's victory?

"Buzz!" Luo Yinger's furnace shook, and in the next moment, it opened, with a purple light shooting skyward!

Luo Ying'er flew up and grabbed the purple pill that soared into the air.

In an instant, the purple pill radiated purple light, and with it, the medicinal fragrance spread throughout the entire pill refining room.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Exquisite Feather Transformation Pill! It's truly a top-grade pill!"

Luo Ying'er, holding the exquisite Feather Transformation Pill, was ecstatic. She quickly ran to her master Wu Qun and presented the pill to him.

Wu Qun nodded slightly after examining it, signaling Luo Ying'er to present it to the Great Elder.

Luo Ying'er brought the pill to the Great Elder, who needed no further inspection; one look was enough to confirm that Luo Ying'er's exquisite Feather Transformation Pill was flawless.

Seeing the Great Elder nod, Luo Ying'er beamed with a radiant smile!

At the same time, her gaze turned to Chu Xinghe, who was still refining.

Damn you, Xinghe! Stop pretending! Accept your fate!

On Chu Xinghe's side, the refining of the Feather Transformation Pill continued, but compared to Luo Ying'er's earlier process, the Rosefinch Furnace emitted hardly any medicinal fragrance. And that wasn't the main issue; the main issue was that the aquamarine hadn't been added yet!

Just as everyone was worried about how Chu Xinghe would handle the aquamarine, he finally reached the final stage of refining. Picking up the aquamarine, Chu Xinghe tossed it into the furnace without hesitation.

The moment the water-element aquamarine entered the Rosefinch Furnace, the entire furnace began to shake violently!

"It's going to explode!"

"Everyone, back off!"

The Rosefinch Furnace shook wildly, and sure enough, the addition of aquamarine ruined the Feather Transformation Pill's refining process, leading to an explosion!

The Great Elder's first instinct was to intervene when he saw the wildly shaking Rosefinch Furnace, but he stopped when he noticed Chu Xinghe's expression.

Because at that moment, he saw that Chu Xinghe's face showed no panic at the impending explosion; instead, it bore a faint smile.

Seeing this smile, the Great Elder's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this kid had a backup plan?

I'll wait and see!

But just as the Great Elder was waiting, Chu Xinghe suddenly activated his spiritual power, and the Rosefinch Spirit Flame erupted instantly. Under the terrifying pressure of the Rosefinch Spirit Flame, the already wildly shaking Rosefinch Furnace seemed unable to withstand the pressure any longer.

"Boom!" A terrifying explosion resounded throughout the Medicine King Palace.

The massive explosion was accompanied by terrifying flames engulfing the entire Rosefinch Furnace. Just as everyone was frantically avoiding the Rosefinch Spirit Flame that might shoot out from the furnace at any moment, a bizarre scene unfolded!

All the exploded Rosefinch Spirit Flames didn't stray far from the furnace but instead swirled around it madly.

And amidst the swirling Rosefinch Spirit Flames, the Rosefinch Furnace suddenly soared into the air.

A burst of water light emerged from the furnace, inexplicably intertwining with the Rosefinch Spirit Flame. In that instant, water and fire became harmoniously intertwined!

"Water and fire fusion! This is water and fire fusion!" Wu Qun was the first to shout.

With his exclamation, the Great Elder's eyes widened in excitement.

Legend has it that in the alchemy world, there's a special technique that can make inherently conflicting ingredients harmonize, even using their conflicting forces to enhance the pill's quality.

This technique is known as water and fire fusion, but it has always been a legend. Even the Medicine Saint Lu Changfeng never fully mastered it, only attempting and theorizing about it.

But today, wasn't the perfect fusion of water and fire outside the Rosefinch Furnace the legendary water and fire fusion technique?

"Buzz!" The Rosefinch Furnace shook violently again, but this time it wasn't an explosion; it was opening.

A golden light burst from the Rosefinch Furnace, soaring into the sky.

It was a pill, a golden pill!

And as the pill ascended, countless dark clouds suddenly gathered over the previously clear skies of the Grand Sky Sect.

Thunder began to flicker within the clouds!

"A divine-grade pill! It's a divine-grade pill! The emergence of a divine pill, and the heavens respond with tribulation!" Wu Qun's eyes were bloodshot!

As a ninth-grade pinnacle alchemy master, he had spent his life refining pills but had never once produced a divine-grade pill.

Even the Great Elder had only managed to refine one in his entire life.

Refining a divine-grade pill is something every alchemist dreams of achieving in their lifetime.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking the roof of the Medicine King Palace and meeting the golden divine-grade pill in the sky!

The golden light and lightning merged, with the lightning attempting to tear the pill apart, but the pill seemed to possess a magical power. Under the lightning, it not only remained intact but shone even more brilliantly!

"Boom!" The lightning shattered, and the divine-grade pill was complete!

The golden pill descended from the sky, and the medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire Medicine King Palace. Unlike any other medicinal fragrance, this one invigorated everyone who inhaled it!

A divine-grade pill! This was a true divine-grade pill, incomparable to any top-grade pill!

No one could have imagined that today, Chu Xinghe, a fifth-grade alchemist, would refine the legendary divine-grade pill right before everyone's eyes!

Wu Qun was dumbfounded...

The Great Elder was so excited his beard seemed to fly...

Countless brothers from the Grand Sky Sect were ecstatic.

Luo Ying'er was utterly incredulous.

Only Chu Xinghe... stood there, bewildered...

Damn it... What is this? How did this divine-grade pill come about?

I just wanted to blow up the furnace! How did an explosion lead to a divine-grade pill? Rosefinch Furnace, are you playing me?

But at this moment, Chu Xinghe's bewilderment appeared to everyone as calmness, an otherworldly detachment!

Everyone's gaze turned to Chu Xinghe standing before the Rosefinch Furnace!

Look, this is our Junior Brother Xinghe. Not even a divine-grade pill can cause him to waver; Junior Brother Xinghe had foreseen everything!

No wonder Junior Brother Xinghe wasn't afraid of the aquamarine. It turns out he had mastered the super alchemy technique of water and fire fusion!

This must be something Junior Brother Xinghe comprehended from the Medicine Saint's inheritance!

This was something even the Medicine Saint couldn't achieve, yet Senior Brother Xinghe surpassed him!

Luo Ying'er widened her eyes, staring at Chu Xinghe, and for some reason... at this moment, Chu Xinghe appeared so tall and majestic in her eyes!

As an alchemist, who wouldn't want to refine a divine-grade pill?

Luo Ying'er dreamed of it, but she knew she was far from achieving it.

Yet here was Chu Xinghe, who had personally refined a divine-grade pill, still remaining so calm and composed. Even when the furnace was about to explode, he stood there unafraid, as if he had known all along what would happen!

Yes, he must have already mastered the legendary mysterious technique of water and fire fusion!

Chu Xinghe... was simply unfathomable!

For the first time, Luo Ying'er felt so small, as if Chu Xinghe was a towering mountain pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.

At the same time, looking at Chu Xinghe standing amidst the Rosefinch Spirit Flame, calmly witnessing the birth of the divine pill, Luo Ying'er couldn't help but think, at this moment, Senior Brother Xinghe seemed so majestic, and... he looked quite handsome too... not at all inferior to Senior Brother Zheng Yu's stunning looks...
