The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1202 - Chapter 1202 Chapter 1201 The Odd Gourd

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1201: The Odd Gourd Chapter 1202: Chapter 1201: The Odd Gourd Everyone was taken aback as Gao Yun unexpectedly launched an attack on Qian QingZi with his Soul Commanding Pill Fire right from the start. What was he trying to do, provoke a conflict?

Qian QingZi’s eyelids twitched, as he hadn’t expected this seemingly indifferent man to act so aggressively right off the bat.

The Soul Commanding Pill Fire transformed into a ferocious tiger, rushing towards Qian QingZi with intense heat. Though the Soul Commanding Pill Fire did no harm to people, it was enough to greatly disrupt Qian QingZi’s pill refining process.

Qian QingZi, fearless, waved his hands, and the Soul Commanding Pill Fire morphed into the Flame Double Fish, just like Hui Xuzi did in the first round.

This was a Fire Control Skill that every Pill Refiner in the Taoist Sect Pill Pulsar must master, but only those with two kinds of Soul Commanding Pill Fire could bring out the exquisite essence of the Flame Double Fish to perfection.

Hui Xuzi possessed two types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire and had profound skills in fire control, so he could unleash the true power of the Flame Double Fish.

However, Qian QingZi was different. He had only one type of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, and even though he understood the subtleties of the Flame Double Fish, he couldn’t bring out its full power.

Moreover, Qian QingZi’s strength was not in controlling fire, and coupled with the fact that he was hastily counterattacking while Gao Yun had been long preparing, this sudden clash immediately put Qian QingZi at a disadvantage.

The Flame Double Fish collapsed, and the raging tiger struck Qian QingZi’s Pill Furnace, causing it to suffer greatly as its temperature became instantly unbalanced.

Qian QingZi’s expression subtly changed as his hands swiftly formed seals.

These seals did not seem to be the script of the Nine Countries, and no one except those from the Seven Seas recognized them.

As these seals flew into the Pill Furnace, the temperature that had become unbalanced was restored to normal immediately.

However, because of this, Qian QingZi had now fallen behind Gao Yun in terms of progress.

“Good! We should teach these Seven Seas barbarians a lesson!”

“Haha, they used despicable tactics in the first round; this is exactly how we should deal with them.”

“This Gao Yun, it turns out he has quite the temper.”

“Looks like he has a good chance of winning this round, he’s already in the lead.”

*****

“Comparing fire control with Gao Yun? I think among all the Pill Refiners under forty in the Pill Alliance, there are very few who can compete with him,” said a high-ranking member of the Pill Alliance with a smile.

Seeing Gao Yun so far ahead in the situation, many from the Pill Alliance breathed a sigh of relief, while the countenances at the Seven Seas Taoist Sect were no longer as relaxed as before.

However, they did not seem too worried, seeming to have full confidence in Qian QingZi.

Above the high platform, Gao Yun’s expression was indifferent, his Pill Furnace enveloped by flames as the herbal ingredients for refining the Phoenix Sun Pill had all been thrown into the furnace, now being scorched and refined by the fire.

But Gao Yun seemed to be quite irritable; after his sudden initial attack, he once again launched a surprise assault on Qian QingZi.

In Gao Yun’s hands, the Soul Commanding Pill Fire continuously condensed into various shapes to attack Qian QingZi with ferocity, exhibiting an unrelenting and pressing demeanor.

Qian QingZi’s complexion had completely darkened, as he did not anticipate Gao Yun to be so troublesome, constantly harassing him with his fire-controlling prowess.

He could see that Gao Yun was formidable in controlling fire, indeed on par with Hui Xuzi, if not better.

Whereas he himself was merely average in fire control, completely no match for Gao Yun.

“If this continues, even if I have many more techniques at my disposal, I won’t be able to execute them,” Qian QingZi silently said to himself.

Gao Yun kept a cold demeanor from beginning to end, his thought process clear, determined to harass you to the point where you couldn’t succeed in refining at all.

“Really think I’m a soft persimmon?” Qian QingZi snorted coldly, a faint golden light emerging from his right hand.

Clearly visible, a golden talisman paper flew out, drifting above the Pill Furnace, and immediately, the golden light spread out, enveloping the Pill Furnace.

No matter how Gao Yun used the Soul Commanding Pill Fire to harass and attack, the Pill Furnace remained unaffected by it, as the presence of the golden talisman paper protected it well.

Seeing this, Gao Yun realized that continuing to harass with the Soul Commanding Pill Fire was futile.

And Gao Yun’s objective had already been achieved; in terms of pill refining progress, he was far ahead of Qian QingZi.

Unless Qian QingZi had some other means to increase his refining efficiency, otherwise, Gao Yun was halfway to victory.

As time passed, Gao Yun’s pill refining progress was smooth. Only the third incense stick had burned out, and Gao Yun’s Phoenix Sun Pill had entered the stage of condensing and shaping.

Such efficiency, unimaginable for an average Master of Pill, was due to Gao Yun’s ten years of immersion in the realm of the Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner and his exceptionally high talent.

“That’s great! It looks like there shouldn’t be any problem with this second match.”

“As long as I keep this up, I can outpace that barbarian from the Seven Seas.”

“If I win in progress and even tie in quality, Gao Yun will still be considered the winner.”

“But I have to be on guard for any tricks that barbarian from the Seven Seas might play, just in case there’s trouble at the last moment.”

****

As the fourth incense stick burned out and the fifth was lit, fragrant scents from Gao Yun’s Pill Furnace wafted out, and bursts of white light shone from the lid.

Seeing the intermittent white light, many of the Pill Refiners below showed joyful expressions, while those from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect looked far less pleased.

This Pill Formation Rainbow Light indicated that the quality of the pills inside Gao Yun’s Furnace wouldn’t be poor.

The emergence of the Pill Formation Rainbow Light also put great pressure on Qian QingZi, yet he showed no sign of panic.

Qian QingZi took down the large calabash from his waist and threw it directly into the Pill Furnace.

Gao Yun’s brow furrowed–what was he doing? Why throw a calabash into the Pill Furnace?

The crowd from the Nine Countries below also found it strange, not understanding the significance of Qian QingZi’s actions.

One thing, however, was certain; Qian QingZi wouldn’t do something meaningless. By throwing the calabash into the Pill Furnace, he surely had some intention.

Soon, rich herbal fragrances began to rise from Qian QingZi’s Pill Furnace, and wisps of Pill Formation Rainbow Light appeared as well.

Gao Yun furrowed his brow, his face revealing a ruthless expression. With a flick of his finger, all the Soul Commanding Pill Fire in the furnace consolidated into a lifelike palm.

The flame palm moved with a howl, slamming hard against the golden screen, causing the golden light to flicker incessantly and dimming the talisman paper floating above Qian QingZi’s Pill Furnace.

Seeing this, Qian QingZi slapped the Pill Furnace, and the calabash flew out, immediately sucking in the flame palm.

This scene startled Gao Yun and elicited exclamations from the onlookers below.
