Vol 3. Chapter 94: The Alchemy Conference Begins!

The arrival of the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor didn’t cause much of a stir.

Under the direction of the Three Great Pill Sovereigns, order at the Alchemy Conference was quickly restored.

Everyone’s attention returned to the conference itself.

"The Sun and Moon Pill Sovereign—she’s the only one among the Twelve Pill Sovereigns of the Tongtian Tower who specializes in the Dao of Space-Time. It’s said that her pills, after being tempered by time and the sun and moon’s cycle, have their effects multiplied several times."

"That’s how she refined her Seventh-Tier Pills!"

"I heard her newly accepted disciple, Pill Sovereign Jie Geng, is also competing this time." The crowd turned to a female alchemist at the refining zone. Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Lin Jing, deep in thought—wondering if he was the Fire Dragon Alchemist she had gifted the token to…

"The Divine Cauldron Pill Sovereign—rumor has it that three of the world’s top ten pill cauldrons are in his hands. He regularly uses nine different cauldrons, each with its own artifact spirit. He’s not only a pill master, but also a Sixth-Tier Artifact Refiner who specializes in cauldron forging!"

"And the Creation Pill Sovereign—strongest in combat among the Twelve. He harnesses the power of nature in his alchemy, storing elements of the world in his pills."

"With these three present, who knows what divine pills might appear at this year’s Alchemy Conference…"

With three of the highest-ranking figures in the alchemy world watching, the participating alchemists were visibly tense.

"In Qingzhou, we’ve always prided ourselves on leading the way in the Dao of Alchemy."

"The path of cultivation begins with pill refinement."

"In the ancient realms, the very first sentient beings began their cultivation journey by refining external pills—elixirs that unlocked the path to power."

"Later, those with exceptional talent developed the method of cultivating internal pills. Thus, the path of Core Formation was born."

"No matter the race, those who pursue cultivation refine their internal core. Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation—be it Golden Core or Monster Core, all life’s cultivation stems from this root."

"Standing on the shoulders of our ancestors, blessed with the finest resources and environment, it is both our duty and legacy to explore the Dao of Alchemy. Today, Qingzhou’s grand alchemical gathering begins. May all of you showcase the pills you’ve poured your hearts and talents into, and may Qingzhou’s alchemical realm forever thrive in vibrant growth… Tongtian Tower hereby declares—the Alchemy Conference is officially open!"

"All alchemists—begin pill refinement immediately!"

As soon as the Sun and Moon Pill Sovereign finished speaking, over a hundred alchemists jumped into action. Each of them was a famed genius in the alchemy world, alchemy masters in their own regions—but now gathered together, they seemed oddly inconspicuous.

That’s because this conference didn’t care about one’s alchemy rank or cultivation level. What it truly tested was creativity, intellect, and innovation.

An alchemist might be able to refine high-tier pills with a great success rate—but if the formula was created by someone else, it held no value at this conference.

And so, the audience was treated to a jaw-dropping sight.

One alchemist after another employed self-created refining methods. Over half of them used pill recipes and spiritual plants the crowd had never seen before.

No one knew what any of them were trying to refine—and that uncertainty was what stirred the hearts of Qingzhou’s cultivators.

Right now… within Tongtian City, at least ninety percent of all attention was focused on Lin Jing.

After all, there were rumors saying that in this conference, Lin Jing might refine a Longevity Pill—using his own flesh and blood as the core ingredient.

"Is that for real…?"

While everyone held their breath, each alchemist began at their own pace. Some used the basic pill platforms provided by Tongtian Tower, while others summoned their own personal cauldrons.

But Lin Jing didn’t summon a cauldron at all. Before the conference began, instead of calling out a cauldron or furnace—he summoned a pet beast.

Zhu Yan!

Pop! Under countless watching eyes, Lin Jing summoned his Dragonblood Carp, now at the Early Core Formation Stage.

"A carp? Looks like it’s fire-elemental? That’s rare..."

The Dragonblood Carp’s appearance didn’t cause much of a stir. After all, other beast tamers also had pet beasts assisting with their alchemy. In the alchemy world, that wasn’t unusual—especially since this year’s competition even included demonic beasts and spirit creatures.

However, Lin Jing’s approach seemed different. Most human alchemists’ pet beasts merely helped by breathing beast fire—the alchemist still remained the main actor.

But Lin Jing? He summoned the alchemy beast, summoned a pile of alchemy materials—then casually stepped aside, pulled out the Heavenly Demon Scroll, and started reading.

He was letting the Dragonblood Carp handle the entire pill refinement process on its own.

"Begin refining," he instructed. After that, his full attention was on the scroll.

Every time he spotted someone who wanted him dead, he smiled.

This Transformation Pill required a Thunder Refining Method and the use of Heavenly Thunder Flame, so it had to be the Dragonblood Carp doing it.

Sure, Lin Jing could fuse with the carp and simulate Heavenly Thunder Flame using illusion techniques—but that was way too much hassle. And he hated hassle.

Besides, this wasn’t cheating. As a Beast Taming Cultivator, his beast was a part of himself. Even if he didn’t personally participate in the process, the resulting pill should still be credited to him.

"He’s seriously letting his pet beast refine the pill?"

The crowd was stunned. And the materials Lin Jing had laid out? Also strange.

Most of them were spiritual plants no one recognized.

There was only one explanation—they were hybrid breeds Lin Jing had cultivated himself, not common pill materials.

Then again, most of the alchemists here had similar custom-grown ingredients.

That was exactly why no one could guess what pill Lin Jing was making. Even the main ingredient—Transformation Grass—was no longer its original color. And since Transformation Grass had been extinct for years and only the Demon Court had the know-how to grow it, most had long forgotten its existence.

"There’s a lot of thunder-element spiritual plants in there… could he be making a thunder-type pill? Doesn’t seem like a Longevity Pill, though..." The audience fell silent—then suddenly, their expressions changed drastically.

“!!!”

All at once, the Dragonblood Carp’s body expanded rapidly. It swallowed every single ingredient from the pill platform in one gulp—then its body flared with fiery red-gold flames laced with lightning!

As that flame spread, the entire arena’s temperature soared. Among the hundred-plus alchemists, anyone using low-grade flames saw their fire instantly extinguished, flickering like candlelight in reverence before a flame emperor.

Even those refining with top-tier Exotic Flames struggled—their flames began flickering uncontrollably, some even slipping out of their control.

"What’s happening?!"

Too many alchemists were stunned, turning to look at the Dragonblood Carp.

"A top-tier exotic flame—Heavenly Thunder Flame? This carp actually refined such a dominant flame at the Core Formation Stage? But even that shouldn’t be enough to suppress this many exotic flames!"

The carp hadn’t even started refining yet. It was just channeling its entire arsenal of exotic flames—using the Flame Emperor Divine Ability—to fuse them into a new, enhanced version of the Heavenly Thunder Flame.

The power of this upgraded flame was now so overwhelming that it disrupted the very existence of other exotic flames in the arena.
