    The emergence of the Great Earth Heart Fire stirred the whole Genius Prefecture. Worry was stered on everyone’s faces. Sure enough, the Seventh Prince hade prepared. Currently, every expert of Great Cloud Empire had their lips smiling, whereas everyone at Dan Prefecture’s side seemed sour as though they had just been fooled.


    “This bastard actually has the Great Earth Heart Fire. Little Chen, it seems you have guessed it right. It will be very hard for Xuan Zhong to win this match.”


    Yang Bufan said, but he didn’t seem overly surprised. After all the Seventh Prince hade prepared, so it was to be expected that he brought some trump cards along.


    On the other side, seeing the emergence of the Heart Fire, Xuan Zhong was clearly affected. The me he controlled began to sway. He knew very well in his heart that the me was the key in concocting the Holy me Emperor Pill. If the Seventh Prince possessed the Heart Fire, he had already lost more than half of the battle.


    “Take charge of your mind and seed in concocting the Holy me Emperor Pill. You haven’t lost yet. Don’t be influenced by your opponent.”


    Dongfang Yu’s voice resounded timely in Xuan Zhong’s ears. Although the gap between their mes led to a slim chance in Xuan Zhong iming the victory, it didn’t mean that there wasn’t hope at all. However, if his mind was severely affected, the consequences would be unimaginable. He might scrap the concoction process straightaway. That would not only waste the precious herbs but also severely dampen Xuan Zhong’s confidence.


    Xuan Zhong was a genius among alchemists, he had excellent control over his mind and heart. After Dongfang Yu’s reminder, he quickly regained hisposure and stopped paying attention to his opponent. He understood his situation very well, but there was no other way out. What he needed to do now was to sessfully concoct the Holy me Emperor Pill. Regardless of what the oue was, his ability to make the Holy me Emperor Pill would be his greatest improvement.


    Xuan Zhong’s me soon settled down. Spiritual herbs continued to be tossed into the sea of fire. He had once again put all of his concentration in the process, no longer influenced by the Seventh Prince.


    Upon seeing this, Yun Zhangxiao couldn’t help but nod. This fact alone qualified Xuan Zhong to be his opponent. If Xuan Zhong was frozen by the mere me, it would surely disappoint Yun Zhangxiao very much. Although it was true that he wanted to crush the morale of Genius Prefecture, he also hoped to meet a worthy opponent.


    With two alchemists seriously refining the pills, the restless scene began to calm down. No one spoke. Everyone’s eyes fell on both the Seventh Prince and Xuan Zhong. Although the Seventh Prince’s Heart of Earth Fire had gained him the upper hand, the battle hasn’t ended yet. The others still had some hope in their mind that there might be a miracle, even though they knew that such a miracle was rare.


    Very quickly, the two of them hadpleted the purification step with perfection. The essence of all spiritual herbs were extracted out. To experts like them, this step had always been simple. If they couldn’tplete this step perfectly, they weren’t worthy to be called experts.


    Then there was the second step—mixing. This was the most critical step in alchemy. This step was the real test to an alchemists. Alchemists needed urate control over their soul power and me in order tobine the essence of the various spiritual herbs.


    One should know that different herbs have different attributes. It was easier tobine herbs with simr properties, because herbs with dissimr properties would always repel one another. So in order tobine all of them together, one needed to have urate control over one’s soul power. The degree of the soul power was just one aspect. What was more essential was having urate control over the soul power.


    Apparently, whether it was the Seventh Prince or Xuan Zhong, both of their achievements in alchemy destined them to have absolute control. That was to say, the second step wasn’t hard for them as well.


    “The most crucial time hase. Both Xuan Zhong and Yun Zhangxiao were both very skilful in their alchemy. If they can sessfully concoct the Holy me Emperor Pill, then the key lies on the absorption of the essence of the me. The essence of psychic beast fire and earth heart fire will determine the rank of the Holy me Emperor Pill,” said Jiang Chen tly.


    For experts like the Seventh Prince and Xuan Zhong, Jiang Chen could already anticipate that they will both seed in concocting the Holy me Emperor Pill. In order words, the difference could only be determined by the rank of the pills.


    “Little Chen, don’t tell me that you really are an alchemist?”


    Yang Bufan looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief. Although he wasn’t an alchemist, he could still distinguish a real alchemist and an ordinary expert. Jiang Chen’s evaluation was obviously the evaluation of an expert in the field. It wasn’t something that woulde from an ordinary expert.


    “Of course.” Jiang Chen chuckled at Yang Bufan.


    It wasn’t easy to concoct a pill with the same rank as the Holy me Emperor Pill. The steps were too cumbersome. That was why even the Seventh Prince and Xuan Zhong would need at least a few hours toplete the entire process.


    The process of concocting a pill was dull and boring, but now, every genius was gazing at it. They didn’t feel the slightest bit of boredom. They had even lost track of time. Like the alchemists who were so concentrated on what they are doing, they had alsopletely immersed themselves in it.


    To them, it was an iparably blissful thing to witness a battle in alchemy between these geniuses. If it wasn’t because of the Seventh Princeing here today issuing a challenge, they were afraid that they wouldn’t have the chance of seeing such a battle in their lifetime.


    Three hours soon passed. The concoction of Xuan Zhong and the Seventh Prince was nearing its end. At this time, everyone began to feel tensed. The rudimentary shape of the pill had already formed in the two sea of fire. Medicinal fragrance began to diffuse. Although the pill wasn’t fully formed yet, that kind of medicinal fragrance was irresistible. Anyone who smelled it felt indescribablyfortable and refreshed.


    “Amazing! It seems like they are going to seed. Now, we’ll just have to see whose Holy me Emperor Pill is better.”


    “Who do you all think will have a higher ranked pill? I feel that the Seventh Prince has a greater chance of victory. After all, his me is a lot stronger than Senior Brother Xuan Zhong.”


    “We’ll see. The result will soon emerge. ording to the grade of the Holy me Emperor Pill, as long as they can make a fifth grade Holy me Emperor Pill, the concoction isn’t considered a failure and the value of the spiritual herbs isn’t considered wasted.”


    .................


    Many of them were anxious about the oue. Their eyes were fixed on the two sea of fire.


    *He!*


    Suddenly, Xuan Zhong and Yun Zhangxiao let out a shout. Simultaneously, they kept their me. A golden pill sprang out from the sea of fire. Tongues of me was emitted from the surface of the pill. The pill flew and danced in the air continuously and it seemed iparably divine, like it possessed some kind of spirit.


    “They seeded!” someone eximed. They had just witnessed the birth of the Holy me Emperor Pill.
