## First Appearance

He is one of the Xin Imperial Family, the great uncle of the Duskflame's emperor, and a Fourth-Tier Alchemist from the Duskflame Empire's Alchemist Association. Even if he is not a High-Tier Alchemist, he is still a renowned figure in the Shangyang City duel to his relationship to the current emperor.

## Plot

### Duskflame's Alchemist Association

Xin Ze is one of the three Rank-Four Alchemist masters present during the confrontation with Li Yunxiao. When Li Yunxiao challenges all three of them to a duel, Xin Ze becomes offended by his arrogance and accepts the challenge. He, along with the other two alchemist masters, show off their most precious treasures to use as gambling stakes.

Xin Ze presents a seventh-tier quality **Cosmic Sun Note Jade**, which greatly enhances an alchemist master's refining abilities. The other two alchemist masters, Lu Haochu and Ge Xiangqian, offer a **Heavenly Flame Battle Flag** and a pair of **Purple Cloud Centipede Wings**, respectively, as their gambling stakes.

To everyone's astonishment, Li Yunxiao claims that someone will bring the 100 million mid-grade primal stones for the gambling bet soon. Xin Ze, initially skeptical, is proven wrong when his brother, Xin Pi, arrives and hands over the 100 million mid-grade primal stones as promised.

Despite the disbelief and shock from the other alchemist masters, their confidence in winning the bet is gradually shaken as he observes Li Yunxiao's demeanor, which shows deep certainty of victory against the three of them.

### The Alchemy Competition

As the competition begins, Li Yunxiao surprises everyone by suggesting that each of the three alchemist masters will condense one primal stone, while he alone will condense two primal stones simultaneously. This shocks the three alchemist masters, as it increases the difficulty of the competition significantly.

Despite their anger and disbelief, they continue with the competition. Li Yunxiao impresses them with his mastery of the Twelve Forms of Flying Flower and Falling Snow, a set of refining techniques created by the renowned alchemist, Gu Feiyang. Li Yunxiao's use of these advanced techniques and his overall proficiency in alchemy leave the three alchemist masters in awe and shock.

Finally, Ge Xiangqian can no longer hold back and attacks first, using the same method as Li Yunxiao to condense his primal stone. The competition is now underway, and everyone is eager to see who will come out victorious.

Ge Xiangqian managed to raise the primal stone to a low-grade level but exhausted a lot of energy in the process, leaving him visibly fatigued. Next, Lu Haochu took over, using his Yamata Branch Heart Cultivation Mantra to condense the primal stone. His technique was beautiful and dreamy, but he also struggled to match Li Yunxiao's level of refinement.

Li Yunxiao, on the other hand, effortlessly advanced his primal stone to the middle grade, showcasing his superior understanding and control of the Twelve Forms of Flying Flower and Falling Snow. He surprised everyone by using a new and mysterious technique called the Scripture of Rippling Mirage. The technique impressed even Baili Gongjin, a rank six alchemist, who recognized its profoundness and admitted his admiration for Li Yunxiao's mastery.

After Baili Gongjin shared the story of his encounter with Lord Gu Feiyang and his advice, Lu Haochu attempted to condense a primal stone using his powerful soul force. However, his technique lacked finesse and appeared clumsy compared to Li Yunxiao's mastery. He raised the primal stone to a High-grade level but felt fatigued after the effort. In response, Li Yunxiao managed to advance the primal stone to a high-grade level, impressing everyone with his skills and talent.

Now, Xin Ze is attempting to advance the primal stone to the supreme-grade level, while Li Yunxiao is doing the same. Despite Li Yunxiao's exhausted state, he surprises everyone by suddenly revitalizing and displaying incredible control over his soul power and the primordial stone, keeping up with Xin Ze's progress. Xin Ze then revealed a powerful soul refining technique, "Rising Moon Over the Sea," to push his primal stone to a pseudo-supreme grade. In response, Li Yunxiao also utilized an ancient scripture to keep up and maintain a pseudo-supreme grade. The two yuan stones were evenly matched, but Li Yunxiao's yuan stone was slightly larger, indicating a potential advantage.

Just when it seemed like Li Yunxiao was about to win, Xin Ze decided to risk it all and swallowed a valuable rank seven beast soul pellet, "Purple Qi from the East," which significantly boosted his soul power. With renewed strength, he successfully advanced his primal stone to the supreme-grade level, surpassing Li Yunxiao's pseudo-supreme grade. Li Yunxiao, already exhausted and at the end of his energy, borrowed soul power from the sapling of the Kunwu Divine Tree, threatening it with the Vast Heaven Universe Metal if it refused to assist him. With the combined power of his main body using the Great Evolution God Art, Li Yunxiao managed to infuse even more power into his yuan stone. Pushing it past the supreme-grade and attempting to break through to the Innate Primordial Elixir level.

Li Yunxiao succeeded in forming the Innate Primordial Elixir, a divine object, which amazed all the alchemists present. Even the Supreme-grade primal stone he used to create it transformed into the Inner Core, which symbolized the Innate Primordial Elixir. Witnessing Li Yunxiao's extraordinary skill and calm demeanor, the other alchemists, including Xin Ze, Ge Xiangqian, and Lv Haochu, were deeply impressed. In a show of respect and admiration, the three fourth-grade Alchemists knelt down and expressed their admiration for Li Yunxiao's prowess.
