Chapter 175 It's too noisy tonight!
In the center of the square, Gu He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air carrying the fragrance of medicine. Even he felt a sense of exhaustion deep within his soul after continuous high-intensity refining.
He carefully placed the Jade Marrow Pill into the jade bottle, then swallowed several Qi-restoring pills and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing. His nearly depleted battle qi began to slowly recover.
However, he remained completely unperturbed. That brat Xiao Yan—there was no way he would give up so easily!
"Xiao Yan, can you still catch this?" Gu He thought to himself.
Although it was late at night, the entire holy city of Gama was even more bustling than during the day!
Including the one during the day, this is the fourth time tonight that a sixth-grade pill has appeared!
Countless awakened citizens, spies from various factions, and busybodies who rushed to the scene spontaneously surged toward the Alchemists' Guild and the Mittel Auction House like a tidal wave.
Unfortunately, both sides were firmly kept out and not allowed to enter.
The streets were bustling with people, and whispers filled the air: "Which master is hiding over there at Mittel's place? How could he possibly be able to fight Dan Wang Guhe from afar!"
"This is clearly a contest! A challenge for the title of Pill King!"
"There's definitely more to come! Tonight will probably go down in history!"
Several powerful warriors from the Jia Ma Empire flew directly into the air, hoping to get a clear look at the sixth-grade alchemist inside the Mitel Auction House.
The teahouse next door was also packed with people, and several elegantly dressed young men and women held up crystal lenses, trying to make out the figures on the Mittel Dome.
Unfortunately, a strange halo enveloped the entire Mittel Auction House, impenetrable to both sound and sight, leaving the curious group of people extremely anxious.
In addition, some people set up tables on the street and started betting on which direction the next beam of light would rise from.
Time slipped away silently amidst countless expectant gazes. Half an hour, then an hour passed—
In the Alchemist Guild square, Gu He was still meditating with his eyes closed; however, there was no new movement in the direction of the Mittel Auction House.
The initial excitement gradually cooled, and voices of doubt began to spread.
"It seems—Master Mittel has run out of steam?"
"As expected, Gu He, the Pill King, is indeed the uncrowned king of the empire's alchemy world!"
"I guess there's no chance of it happening."
Jia Xingtian also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu He beside him: "Master Gu He, do you know the other party's identity?"
He already had a vague idea of what Guhe's strange fighting spirit was about today.
Gu He's lips curled slightly, about to unleash a devastating attack!
A slightly ethereal beam of light, far less imposing than Gu He's earlier beam, suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the Mittel Auction House!
The medicinal fragrance that had been spreading also faded a bit, but it was indeed a sign that a sixth-grade elixir had been born!
"Oh?" President Fama stroked his beard, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"It's here! Although the beam of light is a bit weak and the medicinal fragrance is faint, it is undoubtedly a sixth-grade pill. It seems that this mysterious master's accumulation of sixth-grade cultivation is still slightly inferior to Gu He's."
However, before the words were even finished, a thunderous roar erupted!
Another earth-shattering roar! Right next to Xiao Yan's beam of light, which had not yet completely dissipated, another beam of light, completely different yet equally solid, suddenly erupted!
"This—this is!" Guild Master Fa Ma's smile froze instantly, replaced by utter shock! He exclaimed, "A new aura of fire! A coexistence of intense heat and extreme cold—is this another Rank Six Alchemist?!"
"Good heavens!" Jia Xingtian gasped, shaking his head with a wry smile. "When did sixth-grade alchemists become as common as cabbages? Two of them suddenly appeared overnight?!"
Meanwhile, Guhe, standing in the center of the square, suddenly stood up from his meditation, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the direction of the Mittel Auction House, his face filled with disbelief!
It's somewhat possible that Xiao Yan can refine sixth-grade pills, but this aura—it's clearly Little Fairy Doctor! Her alchemy skills—are still far from being up to par!
A tremendous amount of doubt overwhelmed Guhe's understanding. But he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and a more intense flame ignited in his eyes!
Whatever miracles had happened to them—Gu He's eyes were sharp as knives. He sat down cross-legged again, and the deep purple beast fire in his palm leaped out once more, throwing into the medicine cauldron.
At this moment, the only option is to fight! With Guhe's pride, he cannot allow himself to admit defeat!
On the rooftop of the Mittel Auction House, Xiao Yan had just retrieved his slightly inferior Rank 6 pill. Hai Bodong's small figure suddenly appeared before him, tugging at his collar and shaking him with displeasure: "Hey! Kid! Your pill is nowhere near as good as Gu He's! Are you even capable? Don't embarrass me!"
Xiao Yan slapped Hai Bodong's little hand away impatiently: "Tch! What do you know? I'm learning a new prescription and refining it at the same time! It's my first time doing this, I'm already doing well if I can even make it! So what if the quality is a little off?"
He spoke toughly, but his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the lakeside, where a second beam of light had just shot into the sky.
Is Master helping Little Fairy Doctor? But this flame—it's clearly Yuhao's Nine-Fold Ice Flame!
Many doubts arose in Xiao Yan's mind, but he did not immediately investigate. He clearly felt that he was currently in an extremely mysterious state.
With a high level of mental concentration, one's perception of flames and medicinal properties becomes exceptionally acute, and the success rate of alchemy is invisibly enhanced in this state.
Don't get distracted! This state of mind is rare and precious! Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, took out a new sixth-grade pill formula from his storage ring, and immersed himself in it once again.
"It's a success!"
On the lakeside, Little Fairy Doctor held the pill with two-colored patterns in her hand, her eyes shining with excitement.
On the grass nearby, Yao Chen, who was dozing off wrapped in a small blanket, was awakened by their cheers.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, threw off the blanket, sat up, and yawned widely: "Ugh—what time is it? Are you guys really planning to stay up all night with that kid Guhe?"
Looking at the burning fighting spirit in their eyes, he shook his head helplessly: "If you ask me, why don't you wait until that silly boy Xiao Yan can't hold on anymore, then you can go up and take over. I guarantee you'll exhaust Gu He to the point of collapse."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smile: "Teacher, we don't just want to beat Senior Guhe."
His gaze swept over Xiao Yan's figure on the distant rooftop: "We're also planning to have a match with Xiao Yan!"
After saying this, Huo Yuhao took out a scroll of different sixth-grade pill formulas and began studying them with Little Fairy Doctor. The light of the Nine-Fold Ice Flame once again glowed faintly on the lakeside.
For the next period of time, the entire Holy City of Gama was like a festival! Every hour or so, three beams of light would erupt in succession, as if by prior arrangement, rising and falling one after another.
The soaring light illuminated the night as if it were daytime, continuing until the real sun rose without ever showing any sign of stopping.
