All the Cultivators present, even those just watching the spectacle, possessed some degree of prowess in the Alchemy Dao.

From the moment the Southern Sky Great Witch took out the Elixir, just one glance at its aura was enough to discern several subtleties.

Wang Mu's expression turned solemn. The pitch-black Elixir bore black Dan patterns and resembled some kind of Evil Pill. Yet, the moment it appeared, it was accompanied by strange and extraordinary phenomena: a blood-red miasma seemed to cover the sky, and even the clear Heavenly Vault became densely covered with faint dark clouds.

An Elixir capable of influencing the weather had to be top-grade among the top-grade; its Dan Formation imbued with spirit, mysterious and extraordinary.

Truly worthy of an Elixir Dao Master... Wang Mu thought.

Just by glimpsing it and feeling its momentum, Wang Mu felt he definitely couldn't match it; he was far from it.

If comparing purely on alchemy proficiency, Wang Mu conservatively estimated the Southern Sky Great Witch's Alchemy Skill to be above fifty.

At this moment, as the black Elixir entered the Four Symbols Divine Furnace, the flames within began to rage. The Divine Beasts carved on all four sides started to inhale and exhale clouds, as though coming to life.

The next instant, the flames of the Divine Furnace soared, flickering with different colors. They eventually settled into an immense and mysterious blood-red phenomenon. This phenomenon entwined three rays of divine flame light around the black Spirit Pill, swirling around it with an impressive aura.

"The Dan Formation is top-grade, rich as oceans of blood. Consuming it could transform one's blood vitality, enabling the young to wrestle dragons and tigers, and the strong to birth the essence of life. Truly a first-rate Treasure Pill for Body Cultivation."

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng spoke with considerable admiration, "The Great Witch's mastery of the Alchemy Dao is profound. This Elixir was made with just five types of Spiritual Medicines and has virtually no side effects. The Pill Furnace has recognized it, marking a splendid start to today's Alchemy Dao gathering."

The Black Sky Great Witch nodded slightly.

Following this, Shen Jiao began to explain to the many onlookers:

"The Four Symbols Divine Furnace will ignite different visions based on the grade of the Elixir. When the visions emerge, they indicate the finished product and efficacy of the Elixir."

"Inside the Four Symbols Divine Furnace burns the Four Symbols Burning Spirit Flame, a Divine Fire born during the initial anomalies of heaven and earth. After being evaluated by the Divine Furnace, varying amounts of the Four Symbols Flame Light will be granted, depending on the Elixir's condition."

"Normally, if an Elixir is acknowledged by even a single strand of the Four Symbols Flame Light from the Divine Furnace, it is considered a highly valuable Spirit Pill. Taking all factors into consideration, the Elixir's finished quality, medicinal effects, and practical value would all be considered top-tier in the Mortal World."

"With such an introduction, even if you don't understand the potent alchemy of the Great Witch's Elixir, you should grasp the impressive nature of this Elixir, right?"

After hearing Shen Jiao's explanation, many of the Pill Masters with mediocre skills had a sudden realization.

"'The Four Symbols Divine Furnace once produced a Divine Immortal Pill with supreme spirituality,' Chen Feng said with a smile. 'Therefore, if you don't understand the mystery of the Spirit Pills, just pay attention to the amount of Four Symbols Flame Light granted by the Divine Furnace. Of course, for us at the Dan King Sect, the Treasure Pills we seek are not necessarily just the Spirit Pills with the most Flame Light... but the more Flame Light it has, the more impressive the Elixir is in all aspects.'"

With that explanation, everyone immediately understood. Even the many spectators who were Little Whites—novices in the Alchemy Dao—grasped it all at once.

The Dan King Sect was considerate indeed. They knew that not everyone present could be an Elixir Dao Master, and understanding the Elixirs crafted by these masters was clearly not easy.

Saying too much would come off as complicated. Everything became clear and simple with the introduction of the Four Symbols Divine Furnace.

Moreover, this Divine Furnace was the Supreme Treasure of the Dan King Sect, formerly used by an ancestor of the sect, so it was simply impossible for anyone to doubt such a Divine Artifact.

"'The old witch's skills haven't declined over the years,' Master Wu said, standing with hands behind his back, exuding a hint of pride. 'The Elixir he crafted is quite proficient. Too bad he used five types of Spiritual Medicines; that's too many. The Alchemy Dao values simplicity. Had he managed to use only four types of Spiritual Medicines, I reckon he would have earned another strand of Four Symbols Flame Light.'"

Wang Mu thought, Master Wu certainly seems confident, as if he has everything figured out.

As the Southern Sky Great Witch stepped down, many Pill Masters began to present their Elixirs one after another.

To be honest, even if they didn't wish to catch the attention of the Dan King Sect, this was such a great opportunity for publicity that no Pill Master would want to miss it.

The Four Symbols Elixir Furnace was also incredibly powerful, capable of detecting even the slightest irregularity in the Spirit Pills.

"'The Four Symbols Flame Light is twin-stranded yet mixed with an unusual color. Fellow Daoist, your Spirit Pill contains ingredients beyond our established range. Moreover, you've mixed in two types of Top-grade Spiritual Medicines. Your Alchemy Dao level still has ample room for improvement.'"

"'This Elixir is not bad. It has only one strand of Four Symbols Flame Light, but its color is pure. Using only four types of Low-grade Spiritual Medicine, it manages to discard the dross and refine Spiritual Power effectively. Well done indeed! For your level, this is an extraordinary achievement!'"

"..."

With the Four Symbols Divine Furnace, many spectators gained a clearer concept of the numerous Spirit Pills presented.

Furthermore, the evaluations by the two highly skilled members of the Dan King Sect captivated the many Cultivators from the Nine Provinces. They became completely absorbed, and some even found their own Alchemy Dao level unknowingly rising slightly.

After watching for a while, Wang Mu assessed his own skills.

[Cultivation: ...Alchemy (26)...]

After successfully replicating something akin to the Immortal Sorrow, his Alchemy Skill had risen from 23 to 25, a significant leap in one go.

And now it had risen again.

Damn, can I really increase my knowledge and Alchemy Skill just by being a bystander at such a gathering?

Although it was just by one level, it was already no small feat for him at this stage.

According to Wang Mu's estimation, if his Alchemy Skill reached 30, he could reliably produce Top-grade Spirit Pills even without using Action Points.

Traveling around was indeed beneficial.
