At this moment, the Royal Plaza was packed with people, and the noise, like a rushing stream, surged toward the sky. 

Surveying the scene, Fa Ma raised his hands slightly, and the deafening noise gradually subsided as his powerful voice echoed over the plaza. 

After briefly explaining the final examination rules, Fa Ma officially declared: 

"The third round of the examination begins!" 

As soon as Fa Ma's declaration ended, Mo Yu's silver eyes noticed Xiao Yan's feigned surprise on the stage. 

The content of the third round was for the participants to rely on their own prescriptions and medicinal materials to refine the highest quality pill within the given time, determining the champion. 

With Xiao Yan already in possession of the recipe for the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill, obtained from Fa Ma himself, he had an overwhelming advantage over 99% of the other contestants. 

Mo Yu couldn't help but shake his head at this. "As expected of the future Flame Emperor, the treatment he receives is truly extraordinary." 

Although he marveled at Xiao Yan's luck, Mo Yu knew that this also stemmed from Xiao Yan's innate talent, sharp and impossible to ignore. 

After all, the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill was not something that just anyone could refine. 

Even Fa Ma probably didn't expect Xiao Yan to successfully refine the highest quality version of the pill in this tournament. 

While Mo Yu was lost in thought, the alchemists in the plaza, having learned of the exam's topic, began their own preparations. 

Xiao Yan, too, summoned the Green Lotus Core Flame once more, creating a breathtaking spectacle of myriad flames bowing before him. 

After watching for a moment, Mo Yu, who wasn't too interested in different flames, shifted his gaze to another corner of the plaza. 

Besides Xiao Yan, the only other person in the Royal Plaza who caught Mo Yu's attention was Yan Li. 

However, compared to the attention-grabbing Xiao Yan, this vice president of the Chu Yun Empire's Alchemist Association remained unusually quiet, focused on his refining like a diligent apprentice. 

"If I'm not mistaken, Yan Li is also refining one of the top-tier fourth-grade pills, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, which allows a Da Dou Shi to increase their strength by one star," Mo Yu murmured with a smile. 

Although he possessed vast sealed energy, if he could snatch the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill while obtaining the Imperial Source Blood-Fruit, Mo Yu wouldn't mind putting in some extra effort. 

Yan Li, unaware that someone had set their sights on his nearly completed pill, began to make his final moves as time passed. 

He slapped his palm onto the cauldron, sending the lid flying, and a vast surge of black flames erupted from within. In the center of the black flames, a purple light shot out, piercing through the flames like a bolt of lightning. 

As the light emerged, a rich purple medicinal fragrance filled the air, rising like a cloud of mist over Yan Li's head, forming a violet misty cloud. 

"Haha!" 

High above, the black flames slowly dissipated, revealing a purple pill the size of a dragon's eye, spinning in the air. Yan Li beckoned, and the pill shot into his palm. Gripping the pill, he couldn't contain his laughter. 

"Haha! The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill is finally complete! This pill rivals fifth-grade pills. How will any of you compete with me now? Haha!" 

Yan Li's maniacal laughter brought a brief silence to the guest stands on both sides. After a moment, countless pairs of heated eyes fixated on the purple pill in his hand. 

"This is bad…" 

On the high platform, Fa Ma noticed Xiao Yan's two-line Green Spirit Pill, and his face darkened. 

The Two-Line Green Spirit Pill, while valuable, paled in comparison to the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill. 

"Unless…" 

Thinking of a possibility, Fa Ma suddenly shook his head in self-mockery. Seeing his expression, Hai Bodong frowned and asked, "Unless what?" 

With a long sigh, Fa Ma glanced at Hai Bodong. "Unless Yan Xiao can refine the highest grade, the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill, which means… he must bring out a third type of flame!" 

"But can anyone possess three types of flames? Is that even possible?" Fa Ma thought bitterly to himself. 

"Heh, three flames? Not impossible at all," Mo Yu remarked, having approached unnoticed. He shrugged and looked at the youth on the plaza, speaking softly. 

Fa Ma froze and turned to look at the young man whose name had recently risen to fame in the capital, but he could only smile bitterly, taking Mo Yu's words as mere consolation. 

However, Hai Bodong's gaze became thoughtful as he looked at Mo Yu's calm expression, then shifted to the black-clad youth refining pills in the center of the plaza. 

Both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan were among the most monstrously talented individuals Hai Bodong had ever seen in his life. If those words came from Mo Yu, and the one to fulfill them was Xiao Yan… 

As these thoughts crossed his mind, a sudden change occurred in the Royal Plaza. 

A shocking chill suddenly emanated from Xiao Yan's cauldron, immediately drawing the attention of the entire crowd. 

Feeling the eerie coldness alternating with heat, Mo Yu smiled slightly and said, "Look, the third flame—it's here." 

Mo Yu was very familiar with Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame. 

Although Yao Lao was currently in a deep sleep, the flame imprint he left behind allowed Xiao Yan to use this strange fire. 

Although Mo Yu didn't know where Xiao Yan had acquired a beast flame, with two strange fires at his command, the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill was sure to appear. 

"This chill… How terrifying. Even I can feel a sense of threat," Hai Bodong said gravely, staring at the icy flames leaking from Xiao Yan's cauldron in shock. 

"What is this?" Fa Ma was also stunned as he gazed at the white flames in the sky. 

He could sense the cold energy radiating from the flame, but more importantly, at the center of the fire, a faintly visible green pill was forming! 

Within the plaza, the white flames in the sky quickly descended under Xiao Yan's suction force, and as they fell, the outer layer of flames rapidly dissipated, revealing the green pill inside. 

The pill was green, the size of a dragon's eye, with three distinct lines—one green, one purple, and one white—arranged neatly on its smooth surface. 

In the center of the plaza, Xiao Yan smiled softly and raised the green pill high, his gaze resting on Fa Ma and the others on the high platform. Finally, his eyes fell on Mo Yu, and despite his usual calm demeanor, a trace of excitement flickered in his eyes as he shouted: 

"Fourth-grade pill, Three-Line Green Spirit Pill!" 

"Haha, excellent!" 

Seeing the young man below, proudly holding up the pill, Fa Ma could no longer suppress his inner excitement and laughed heartily in satisfaction. 

Mo Yu also smiled slightly. In just three short years, Xiao Yan had risen from a novice alchemist to a fourth-grade alchemist. 

Although he had Yao Lao as an excellent mentor, there was no denying the boy's exceptional talent. 

When Xiao Yan eventually returned to his family in his true form, many people would surely be shocked. 

With the appearance of the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill, the championship was undoubtedly decided. 

Even the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill paled in quality compared to the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill. 

Everything else naturally followed. After examining all the pills refined by the contestants, Xiao Yan's Three-Line Green Spirit Pill was undeniably the best, crushing all competition in the plaza. 

Gritting his teeth, even though Yan Li was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to concede when faced with the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill. 

With a wave of his sleeve, he stored the cauldron from the stone platform into his spatial ring, and under the gazes of countless spectators, Yan Li turned without hesitation and hurriedly made his way out of the venue. 

His identity had been exposed, and if he didn't take the opportunity to leave now, once Fa Ma and the others finished dealing with matters here, he would certainly be in trouble. 

Seeing this, Mo Yu glanced at the heavily praised Xiao Yan, and after offering a silent congratulations in his heart, he too vanished from the sight of the crowd. 

In the slums of the imperial capital's northwest district. 

Where there is sunlight, there is also darkness. Though the imperial capital was prosperous, it could not escape having areas of filth and poverty. 

The northwest slums were the poorest and most backward part of the capital. Not even ordinary residents of the capital, let alone people of noble status, were willing to venture into this place. 

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a grim expression hurriedly walked along the muddy stone path. After turning a few corners, he arrived at a hidden and shabby inn. 

"Vice President, what brings you here? Did you win the championship at the Alchemist Grand Meeting? If so, the Jia Ma Empire will never lift its head again!" 

As soon as the middle-aged man entered, a skinny servant who had been dozing off immediately perked up when he saw the visitor, and greeted him with a flattering smile. 

This inn was one of the intelligence stations for the Chu Yun Empire, set up in such a remote and rundown place precisely for secrecy. 

As the vice president of the Alchemist Association, Yan Li's participation in the competition and intent to humiliate the Jia Ma Empire was known to this skinny servant, who was also one of the station's leaders. 

However, he couldn't understand why, after winning the championship, Yan Li wasn't basking in the adulation of the masses but was instead rushing here like a stray dog. 

Could it be...? 

"Hmph, useless fool. Stop asking so many questions and quickly prepare a new identity and a ticket for a flying magical beast to leave the Jia Ma Empire. Do it fast, or once I return to the Chu Yun Empire, your career will be over!" 

Yan Li's face was extremely grim as he coldly stared at the skinny man, urging him with a sense of urgency, as if a fierce tiger was chasing him. 

Seeing Yan Li's expression, the skinny man froze for a moment. Connecting it with his earlier suspicions, an idea slowly rose in his mind. 

Could it be that the champion of the Alchemist Grand Meeting was won by someone from the Jia Ma Empire? 

This thought caused a look of shock to appear on the skinny man's face. When had the Jia Ma Empire produced such a genius alchemist, capable of defeating even the vice president? 

Suppressing his doubts, the skinny man quickly nodded respectfully to Yan Li and hurried off to follow his orders. 

After the skinny man left, Yan Li sat down at a table, picked up a cup of tea, and downed it in one gulp. 

Even he hadn't expected to lose to a mere boy. If news of this reached the Chu Yun Empire, not only would his chance at becoming president be gone, but even his position as vice president would be at risk. 

"Damn it! That bastard Yan Xiao! Once I return to the Chu Yun Empire, I'll find some strong allies and have him killed!" 

As Yan Li recalled the shame of losing the championship, his face grew cold and murderous. 

"Heh, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to return to the Chu Yun Empire." 

Just as Yan Li was plotting his revenge, a mocking voice suddenly came from outside the door. 

"Who?! Could it be Fa Ma and the others? How could they have found me so quickly!?" 

Yan Li's expression froze for a moment, then turned vicious. 

The room was filled with a light breeze, carrying with it the stench of the slums. In the next moment, a tall figure in green appeared in the room. 

The young man, with his unique silver eyes, stared playfully at Yan Li. 

"It's you!" 

Upon seeing the silver-eyed youth, Yan Li seemed to recall something and immediately relaxed. "I thought it was Fa Ma and the others, but it turns out to be just another brat." 

"If I remember correctly, we met briefly at the Alchemist Grand Meeting. So, who are you, and how did you find me?" 

Seeing that the intruder was a young man around twenty years old, Yan Li didn't take him seriously. With his seven- or eight-star Dou Ling strength, there were few in the Jia Ma Empire who could stop him unless one of their old monsters intervened. 

"Yan Li, is it? My name isn't important. What you need to know is that I'm here for the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit," the silver-eyed youth, Mo Yu, calmly replied after tracking Yan Li here using a spatial mark. 

Upon hearing the words "Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit," Yan Li's expression instantly changed. 

"How do you know I have that!?"
