Chapter 304: The Puppet Shows Its Power
Looking at the thundercloud in the sky showing two colors, the entire square erupted in excitement.
Not only that, people from all over Holy Pill City cast their amazed eyes over.
Many presents were seeing Pill Lightning with two colors for the first time in their lives!
On the high platform, Qiu Ling also looked slightly solemn at the sight. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Xiao Ming is indeed extraordinary. He actually refined an eighth-tier pill and even attracted a two-colored thundercloud."
In the world of alchemy, an eighth-tier pill was already considered the golden pagoda within the alchemist world. Although there was only one grade difference between the eighth and seventh tiers, that difference was like heaven and earth.
An eighth-tier pill possessed some spirituality and even some basic intelligence, which meant that it already possessed a life force that belonged to it.
It could be said that an eighth-tier pill could be classified as a creature!
Moreover, the division of eighth-tier pills was incredibly harsh, and their quality could no longer be differentiated by the naked eye. Instead, it was differentiated through the colors of Pill Lightning!
The higher the grade of the medicinal pill, the more colors the Pill Lightning it attracted would possess.
It was rumored that if one could attract a nine-colored Pill Lightning, it meant that the medicinal pill had advanced to the ninth tier, which possessed the strength of creation!
A pill of this grade could be called a divine pill, and it was probably not an exaggeration.
By attracting a two-colored thundercloud, it meant that Xiao Ming had successfully refined an eighth-tier pill. Moreover, it was an eighth-tier pill that possessed a two-colored Pill Lightning.
Although only half of the competition time had passed, everyone knew that the victor had already been decided in this competition!
Intense gazes were fixed upon the tall figure standing on the Stone Platform. The intensity of their fervor was almost fanatical. Who would have thought that a youth who was not yet in his twenties could actually refine an eighth-tier pill?
After today, the name of Xiao Ming would resound throughout the entire Central Plains!
Cao Ying's beautiful eyes were also fixed on the young figure, who remained calm amidst the attention of the crowd. There was a glint of excitement in her eyes. Anyone could tell that this enchanting woman, who was considered the pride of the Cao Clan, had taken a great interest in him.
Of course, no one could deny that Xiao Ming, who had swept away the older generation of alchemists, indeed possessed an unparalleled charm at this moment.
Combined with his naturally attractive features, he was now a veritable lady-killer.
The alchemists on the square were also stunned by the thundercloud in the sky. Several alchemists who were trying their best to maintain the temperature of their cauldrons made a small mistake, causing a slight change in temperature.
Hiss!
A few unusual sounds were heard, and black mist emerged from the cauldrons, indicating the outcome of their competition.
Those alchemists looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Alas, with their level of expertise, it was already quite challenging to refine a peak seventh-tier pill. This disruption had resulted in such an outcome, wasting one or two peak seventh-tier medicinal materials. It was indeed a huge loss!
However, this couldn't be blamed on Xiao Ming. Such competitions also tested the alchemist's ability to resist disturbances. If they were to blame anyone, it could only be themselves for not having enough skill.
The contestants who failed to refine the pill were not in a hurry to pack up and leave. They wanted to see how Xiao Ming would handle this two-colored Pill Lightning.
An eighth-tier Pill Lightning was not easy to handle!
Xiao Ming ignored the gazes from around him and focused his gaze on the medicinal cauldron in front of him.
'The Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill will be finally done!' he thought.
As soon as he finished his thoughts, the two-colored Pill Lightning in the sky grew increasingly violent. The deep thunder rumbled incessantly, and the dazzling lightning, as thick as thighs, shuttled around the clouds.
Hiss!
As the thunderclouds rolled, the lightning suddenly shrank, transforming into a two-colored lightning that resembled a giant python. With a terrifying hissing sound, it fiercely attacked the location where Xiao Ming stood.
The power of the lightning was shocking, but Xiao Ming remained calm. He lifted his hand, and the light on his finger flickered. In an instant, a brilliant silver figure materialized in front of him.
The Earth-Demon Puppet had absorbed a significant amount of Pill Lightning from the pills, and it had transformed into a silver puppet with the strength of an eight-star Dou Ancestor.
Xiao Ming's sudden action caught the attention of onlookers, who watched in awe as the impressive puppet stood before them. However, the question remained - could the puppet withstand the power of an eighth-tier pill?
"Go!" Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Ming smiled and pointed his finger at the void, shouting lightly.
As his voice fell, the silver puppet in front of him stomped on the ground with its foot, propelling itself into the air. Then, to everyone's astonishment, it directly collided with the powerful lightning.
Sharp-eyed observers noticed that the Earth-Demon Puppet did not shatter upon being struck by the two-colored lightning bolt. Instead, its aura gradually increased amidst the thunderous flashes!
"This puppet is absorbing the power of lightning?!" Qiu Ling exclaimed. He had never heard of such a strange puppet before.
Boom! Boom!
The lightning continued to rage and dance in the sky, bringing with it brilliant thunder rays that covered the heavens and earth. The lightning fiercely fell upon the body of the Earth-Demon Puppet, and the silver lightning overflowed, transforming into countless small electric snakes that entered the puppet's body through its skin.
The lightning power surged into the Earth-Demon Puppet's body, quickly strengthening its bones and withered skin.
From a distance, the Earth-Demon Puppet appeared like a thunder god, floating in the sky. Thunder rays flickered around its body in a ten-meter radius, creating a terrifying sound that sent shivers down the spines of onlookers.
Xiao Ming stood calmly on the square, his hands behind his back. The Earth-Demon Puppet withstood all the bolts of lightning aimed at him, which made him extremely relaxed, without any need to exert any effort to deal with this tricky Pill Lighting.
Above, thunder rumbled incessantly as the surging two-colored thundercloud continuously spewed out increasingly powerful and dazzling bolts of lightning, all of which struck the Earth-Demon Puppet's body.
The commotion of the thundercloud lasted nearly ten minutes before gradually subsiding. During that time, almost a hundred terrifying bolts of lightning had been unleashed, but fortunately, none of them had caused any harm to the Earth-Demon Puppet. Instead, they caused a faint golden luster to appear on its sparkling silver body.
'No wonder it's a two-colored Pill Lighting. This Earth-Demon Puppet has already entered the threshold of a Sky Demon Puppet. After absorbing a few more eighth-tier Pill Lightings, it should be able to completely step into that realm. When I solve Senior Yao's physical body, I will have two Dou Venerate bodyguards. Even if something happens and we leave the territory of the Pill Tower, we'll still have some security guarantees,' Xiao Ming thought with some delight.
Boom! Boom!
After the Pill Lightning continued to rampage for another ten minutes, it eventually had to give up on this tough challenge. The energy fluctuations inside the cloud gradually faded, and the thick, oppressive thundercloud dissipated slowly under the watchful gaze of countless onlookers.
As the dense thundercloud in the sky dissipated, warm sunlight once again poured down from above, illuminating this world that had been ravaged by the Pill Lightning. The comforting warmth of the sun brought a sense of relief to many people.
