Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Alchemy Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Alchemy The words of Yun Danching sent shivers down everyone’s soul body.

In the spacious auction hall, an eerie atmosphere pervaded, and the crowd seemed as if they were struck by a paralysis spell, motionless.

Chu Changkong and other high-ranking members of the auction were also amidst shock.

The auctioneer Mu Caiyi’s pretty face turned pale, 50 billion gold coins had even startled her, an auctioneer who had dealt with gold coins for many years.

The Nangong family was thoroughly deflated, and the confident Family Head of the Nangong family was now also utterly speechless.

“It seems no one dares to make an offer anymore,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a light laugh, her beautiful eyes looking at Feng Wuchen. Full of curiosity, Ling Xiaoxiao asked, “Wuchen, where did you get so many gold coins?”

“There seem to be quite a few inside the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, probably several billion,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently. He wasn’t certain, perhaps there weren’t even several billion.

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao stared blankly for a moment, blinked her eyes, and looked at Feng Wuchen in shock, “Several billion?”

Bidding several billion gold coins for treasures worth several hundred billion?

Feng Wuchen’s finances couldn’t possibly contend with the top five powers.

“What about the several hundred billion then?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked, looking at Feng Wuchen with quite a surprise.

Seeing Feng Wuchen shout out fifty billion gold coins all at once, Ling Xiaoxiao actually thought Feng Wuchen had that much, who knew he was actually bluffing.

“Feng Wuchen! If you can’t come up with fifty billion gold coins, the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus will still belong to the Nangong family!” Murong Tian said viciously and angrily.

Feng Wuchen replied with a faint smile, “The Earth Heart Sacred Lotus won’t fall into the hands of your Nangong family.”

“We’ll see about that!” Murong Tian said fiercely, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

“Does the Head of the Nangong family wish to increase the bid?” Mu Caiyi asked, looking towards the Nangong family’s private box, her voice gentle.

“Hmph!” The Family Head of the Nangong family grunted in indignation and did not raise the price.

“If no one else is bidding, then the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus belongs to Feng Wuchen. The auction is over,” Mu Caiyi announced. She could barely hold on any longer, feeling dizzy and needing to end the auction quickly to rest.

After Mu Caiyi’s announcement, many people in the hall left with fear and shock.

The end of the auction meant that a major event was about to occur.

Alchemy Masters, Zangling Valley, and the Xiao family would not let Feng Wuchen off. With the three major powers of Jiuzhou taking action, it would be earth-shattering, and Feng Wuchen would find it hard to escape.

After Mu Caiyi stepped down, the Shen Dan Master Moyan said in a deep voice, “Feng Wuchen, if you can’t come up with fifty billion gold coins, don’t even think about leaving. Even if you can produce them, for killing many strong men in my Divine Pill City, you must die!”

“Shen Dan Master, leave the matter of killing Feng Wuchen to me! I want to personally avenge Kong’er!” A terrifying killing intent once again pervaded the atmosphere, Beiming River said viciously.

“Brat, how dare you publicly insult me, and question my alchemy prowess, I shall never forgive you!” the Shen Dan Master bellowed, already enraged and humiliated.

“Whether I insulted you or not, you’ll find out in a bit. Prepare the ingredients; I’m going to show you what alchemy is, what a real Tianyuan Pill is!” Feng Wuchen replied with a cold smile, walking out of the private box calmly and confidently.

“He’s only a Fourth Rank Alchemist, where does he get his confidence?” Chu Changkong frowned, unable to see through Feng Wuchen.

The Second Elder frowned, “We all know the strength of the Shen Dan Master’s alchemy, that boy can’t possibly be better than the Shen Dan Master.”

“The most terrifying is his Artifact Refining realm,” the Great Elder said gravely; as a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner, he was truly wary of Feng Wuchen.

The ability of Thought-Forming Instrumentation was unheard of by the Great Elder, nor did he know if the rumors were true.

“Prepare the ingredients! And the pill furnace!” the Shen Dan Master shouted furiously; he really wanted to see what kind of Tianyuan Pill Feng Wuchen could refine!

“The ingredients will suffice, no need for a pill furnace. For low-grade pills like these, there’s no need for a pill furnace. A true Alchemist doesn’t need one,” Feng Wuchen said, waving his hand casually.

What? Alchemy without a pill furnace?

The crowd had never heard of alchemy without a pill furnace and were shocked while also looking at Feng Wuchen as if he was an idiot.

The top executives of the five major powers were all astounded and couldn’t help but look towards their respective Alchemists, then turned their gaze to the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong and the others.

The same goes for the powerhouses of the major forces; they all doubted whether what Feng Wuchen said was true or false.

“President, have you ever heard that Alchemy doesn’t require a pill furnace?” the Second Elder asked with furrowed brows–he’d never heard of such a thing.

Chu Changkong shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard of it. How could one perform alchemy without a pill furnace?”

“Hmph! Utter nonsense!” an Elder of the Xiewang Sect and a Fourth Rank Alchemist snorted angrily, refusing to believe Feng Wuchen’s nonsensical talk.

“Is Feng Wuchen an idiot? Have any Alchemists ever not needed a pill furnace for alchemy?”

“No need for an Alchemy Furnace? That’s quite arrogant, thinking a Fourth Rank Alchemist could refine a Fifth Grade pill?”

“I’ve never heard of it either; the President and the others don’t seem to know. I think Feng Wuchen is mostly bluffing, trying to mystify.”

No one in the hall believed it; they not only disbelieved but also regarded Feng Wuchen as an idiot.

“No need for a pill furnace?” The Shen Dan Master’s expression changed, greatly shaken in his heart.

“Moyan, remember this, a Pill Furnace is just an aid in alchemy, nothing more. A true Alchemist doesn’t even need a Pill Furnace. However, that level is so profound and inscrutable that even I have never seen it, but such a terrifying Alchemist does exist. The Mainland refers to them as a Dan Emperor, the most frightening realm among Alchemists, with an unparalleled status!”

Hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, a sentence his mentor had once told him suddenly flashed through the Alchemist’s mind.

This sentence deeply shocked the Alchemist, remaining fresh in his memory.

“Dan Emperor!” The more Moyan thought about it, the more frightened he became, his old face paling as he thought to himself, “It’s impossible, Feng Wuchen simply cannot have reached the realm of a Dan Emperor.”

Yet the words of Feng Wuchen forced Moyan to believe otherwise.

From the reactions of the many Alchemists present, it was clear that they were unaware that a true Alchemist does not need a Pill Furnace, let alone know of the existence of a Dan Emperor.

Soon, someone brought up the medicinal ingredients.

“Shen Dan Master, when you were concocting the Tianyuan Pill, you must have encountered the onset of Fire Poison, which is why the Tianyuan Pill contains a hint of Fire Poison,” said Feng Wuchen with a slight cold laugh, waving his hand as all the medicinal ingredients flew up to the second floor.

All eyes followed the movement of the herbs toward Feng Wuchen on the second floor.

“The smell of Fire Poison?” Chu Changkong quickly teleported over, picked up the Tianyuan Pill, and carefully sensed it.

Everyone’s gaze shifted back to Chu Changkong, who announced in shock, “There really is a hint of Fire Poison!”

Upon hearing Chu Changkong’s words, everyone was stunned!

The strong individuals from the five major powers all grew slightly more solemn.

Feng Wuchen was able to sense it, while Chu Changkong, a Fifth Grade Alchemist, had to hold the Elixir in his hands for a long time before detecting it up close.

The other Alchemists were completely unaware of it.

“The reason why the quality of your Tianyuan Pill is low is not only because of the influence of the Fire Poison in your body but also because you do not have a deep enough understanding of each medicinal ingredient. Some of the ingredients still contain impurities that have not been completely removed, and some were exposed to too much heat. You are very weak in this aspect, resulting in the medicinal essence refined still containing many impurities, and much of the liquid extracted during the pill-refining process evaporated,” Feng Wuchen pointed out the mistakes in the Shen Dan Master’s alchemy while summoning a cyan flame.

“What kind of flame is this? It feels even more terrifying than Beast Fire!”

Extremely horrifying flames turned the hall into a space illuminated with cyan light, the violent aura striking terror into everyone’s hearts.

“How… how could you possibly tell from the surface of the Elixir?” The Shen Dan Master, with a face filled with fear, stared dumbfounded at Feng Wuchen.

These mistakes were unknown to others, but the Shen Dan Master knew them well, yet Feng Wuchen was able to guess them all just from the appearance of the Elixir.

How terrifying was Feng Wuchen’s level of alchemy? At a glance, he could tell all sorts of mistakes an Alchemist made through the Elixir.

“Apart from you, the auction president and all the Alchemists here, the low quality of your Elixirs is due to both the influence of Fire Poison and the evaporation of the medicinal essence–something you have failed to realize. You all share one weakness, poor flame control, and a lack of complete understanding of the melting points of each medicinal ingredient.”

“The most basic principles haven’t been mastered, and still you dare call yourselves Alchemists?”

Feng Wuchen continued, as if he were giving a lecture to students.

With a palm dragging the cyan flame, Feng Wuchen beckoned gently, and the ingredients for concocting the Tianyuan Pill all flew over.

Eighteen medicinal herbs slowly rotated in Feng Wuchen’s palm, wrapped in the cyan flames, as domineering Soul Power was infused into them.

“You all believe your flame control is strong, but in my view, it’s too poor, simply not up to standard,” Feng Wuchen said coldly, offering a blunt criticism.

The entire place went quiet, every shocked gaze drawn to the scene.

In the eyes of the astonished and horrified onlookers, they witnessed the most magical moment of their lives.

The dozen herbs rotating in Feng Wuchen’s palm, under the tempering of the cyan flames, rapidly shed their exteriors at the same moment, condensing into liquids of various colors. Strong Spiritual Energy and an exotic fragrance began to spread out.

These were the herbal essences of the medicinal ingredients!

“So fast?” Seeing the herbs shed their exteriors, the crowd was greatly shocked, never before having witnessed such frightening speed.

The Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong, among other Alchemists, nearly popped their eyes out.

“Eighteen medicinal herbs shedding their exteriors simultaneously!” Chu Changkong exclaimed in shock, his demeanor betraying understanding beyond his comprehension.

“How is this possible…” The Alchemists at the scene were all stunned by the spectacle.

The condensed essences merging together, the mass formed an embryonic Elixir the size of a longan seed. The liquid quickly solidified, finally forming an Elixir!

From the Elixir emerged a powerful aura and Spiritual Energy, with clearly visible patterns and a bright, shining coloration. Most importantly, the quality was extremely high, definitely the best of the best.

In less than two minutes, Feng Wuchen had effortlessly concocted the Elixir.

Concocting a Fifth Grade Elixir, Feng Wuchen had used only his right hand, no other aids whatsoever.

The Elixir that Feng Wuchen had refined was the Tianyuan Pill!

“One… One-Thought Pill Concoction! The realm of a Dan Emperor!” The terrified Shen Dan Master cried out in his heart, his body trembling uncontrollably.
