Don't even mention the Pill Region's five great alchemist families, even if the Pill Tower itself came, it wouldn't work! Although Little Princess isn't Xiao Yan's disciple, Xiao Yan did teach Yue Er a few tricks during his time in Gama Holy City, and the Four-Pattern White Spirit Pill's Four Fire Drawing Control Method was taught by Xiao Yan.
If not Yue Er's master, then half a senior apprentice brother, perhaps.
At this moment, although Xiao Yan's tone was light and breezy, his aura was already aggressive. His aura was actually above Master Qiu Ping's, making it seem as if he was the one from the Pill Region.
This is not surprising. In fact, even if Xiao Yan was aggressive, arrogant, and domineering at this moment, the audience wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with what Xiao Yan said.
Putting aside the fact that Xiao Yan's Rank 5 Alchemist Robe alone made others afraid to speak, if Yue Er could refine a Fifth Grade Four-Pattern White Spirit Pill and make the Medicine Bone Sect and Qiu Family look at her with greater importance, then Xiao Yan, who was only a year older than Yue Er, naturally had this qualification as well.
Moreover, Xiao Yan, at such a young age, promoted the alliance of the Flame Alliance and issued the Flame Alliance Covenant. It can be said that Xiao Yan is the Flame Alliance's hidden leader and spokesperson, so Xiao Yan is definitely qualified to be on equal footing with the Medicine Bone Sect.
And this is just the layer of Xiao Yan that can be seen on the surface, not to mention the confidence that Xiao Yan possesses.
Having the inheritance of the previous Pill Gathering champion, Medicine Venerable, and after killing Han Feng, Xiao Yan is Medicine Venerable's only successor. In addition, with even some guidance on alchemy from Hun Xuzi, Xiao Yan has already been listed as an important candidate for the Soul Palace's Emperor Pill Plan.
The Qiu Family is nothing.
Of course, the most important thing is Xiao Yan's own strength, Seventh Grade Alchemist! Twenty-three years old! Even if we don't count the actual achievements, the achievements on the surface are enough to be proud of.
"Youngster, it is indeed remarkable to have such achievements at such a young age, and you can indeed be considered a genius." Regarding Xiao Yan's disdainful words, Qiu Ping said coldly, "However, a Rank 5 Alchemist is ultimately only Fifth Grade. It is undeniable that you may reach the Seventh Grade rank in the future. However, geniuses are always prone to dying young. Along the way, I don't know how many geniuses I've seen who once thought that having talent meant having everything, but in the end, they were just a pile of bones."
"Not to mention that Central State is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many alchemists with much stronger talents than you."
"The hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the emergence of geniuses you speak of, you're not referring to your Qiu Family, are you?" Xiao Yan interrupted Qiu Ping and said with a smile, "I don't know how many geniuses and experts your Pill Region's Qiu Family has, nor do I know what's so great about your Qiu Family's alchemists. It has nothing to do with me."
Qiu Ping said in a deep voice, "My Qiu Family's geniuses and experts are enough to contend with all the invincible existences in this small Northwest Region, and even surpass them!"
Qiu Ping's words sounded arrogant and domineering, even treating the entire Northwest Region as nothing, but in fact, that was the case. In the Northwest Region, no matter what Sect, empire, or genius expert, no matter what kind of person, no one dares to underestimate the Qiu Family.
The Central State Pill Region's five great families, this title alone possesses enough foundation to look down on everything. As a Pill Region family where alchemists from the entire Dou Qi Continent gather, the Qiu Family may not be the oldest family in the Pill Region, or the most powerful family, but in the Northwest Region, the Qiu Family is definitely the most powerful and terrifying.
As Qiu Ping said, with the Qiu Family's foundation, they indeed have enough confidence to sweep away all enemies in the Northwest Region.
"Well, what an overbearing tone." Xiao Yan stroked his chin, smiled, and said, "However, don't even mention your mere Qiu Family being here today, even if the Pill Tower came, don't even think about poaching my Flame Alliance's alchemists."
Qiu Ping's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the Bone Child Old Man, who also knew how to read the situation, said coldly, "Honest words are hard to hear. It is indeed very strong for you to reach Fifth Grade at such a young age, you can be called a dragon among men, but with your temperament, you will not have a good end in the future. Even if you are a genius among geniuses, you are destined to fall. If you know what's good for you, it's not too late to bow your head and admit defeat now."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and interrupted, "If you want to evaluate pills, then do it properly. If you don't have the eye for it, then go aside. An old geezer is still pretending to be a child."
Hearing Xiao Yan say that he was pretending to be a child, the Bone Child Old Man's face suddenly became a little ferocious. This was his sore spot! The reason is simple, the Bone Child Old Man now has the body of a ten-year-old, although this does not affect his Dou Qi and strength, it does affect some of his functions! He has been looking for a solution, and to solve it, he needs an Eighth Grade Alchemist to take action, so he attached himself to the Pill Region's Qiu Family.
"Very well, very well, I will see what abilities your Flame Alliance has!" The Bone Child Old Man did not directly attack. Although he is a Seventh Grade Alchemist, his strength is only that of a One Star Dou Zong.
However, alchemists never take action themselves, this statement has always been correct.
In the end, Qiu Ping, as the judge, naturally gave a speech, evaluating Yue Er's Four-Pattern White Spirit Pill as worthless. In the end, the Medicine Bone Sect's Jian Feixue's Cultivation Origin Pill won first place.
But anyone with eyes could see that Yue Er was the most talented alchemist, and her future was immeasurable.
The Sect Assembly has such a benefit, the judges are not actually one person, but the entire Northwest Region. Everyone has eyes, the Sect Assembly is just a platform for these Sect forces to 'see clearly'.
And the confrontation between the younger generation of experts is even more dramatic. Nalan Yanran broke through to Dou Huang overnight, and once again upset the Lion Nether Sect genius Shi Nian, one of the Ten Great Sects. Qing Lin, also living up to the expectations of the snakes, representing the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, defeated the Thunder Sect's Young Sect Master Ting Wanjun.
"This, this, this, this, Ting Wanjun actually lost!"
"How is this possible? At the last Sect Assembly, Ting Wanjun reached One-Star Dou Huang at the age of twenty-five, and ultimately defeated the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Serpent Emperor, winning first place. He actually lost this year??"
This is also why the Northwest Region has a rumor that the Thunder Sect is faintly suppressing the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, everyone is very optimistic that the Thunder Sect's Young Sect Master will definitely become a Dou Zun in the future.
"That's the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's New Holy Maiden? Too strong, how is this cultivation achieved? Does the Heavenly Serpent Mansion really want to fulfill their ambition and unify the Northwest Region!"
"Hey, hey, don't be so short-sighted, haven't you noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
"The Flame Alliance. Whether it's that young Alchemist, or this Female Sword God, they are all from the Flame Alliance, and they are all very young!"
Hiss!! At this time, some belated people suddenly realized that the Flame Alliance seems to be rising!
...
At this moment, on the back of the Nethersea Flood Dragon, at Xiao Yan's strong request, several people are holding a grilled fish feast.
Hai Bo Dong stood on the back of the Nethersea Flood Dragon, looking at the stage of the final below, it was Nalan Yanran against Qing Lin.
"Is that really that little girl from back then? How could her cultivation improve so quickly!" Hai Bo Dong looked at Qing Lin with a solemn expression. Even if the Heavenly Serpent Mansion kept giving Qing Lin pills, her cultivation couldn't have improved so quickly, right?
Hai Bo Dong is now an Eight-Star Dou Huang, and Qing Lin is already a Six-Star Dou Huang! It's only been five years! What kind of pills can make you improve so quickly! Xiao Yan took a grilled sea fish that Yun Yun had grilled, walked to Hai Bo Dong's side, also stared at Qing Lin's figure, took a bite of the meat, and said slowly, "She didn't use pills, not even the Huangji Pill."
"Not using pills?!"
"At least she's different from those whose Dou Qi is weak and who rely on pills to increase their strength. Qing Lin's Dou Qi is very solid, and for some reason, her combat skills, Dou Technique usage, and awareness are all excellent. You'd think she's been fighting all her life."
Xiao Yan had naturally watched Qing Lin's battle against Ting Wanjun. That battle could be described as a complete crushing.
Ting Wanjun's cultivation was even higher than Qing Lin's, already a Seven-Star Dou Huang, but in the end, whether it was combat experience or Dou Techniques, he was far inferior to Qing Lin. In the end, he was undoubtedly defeated by Qing Lin using a perfected Earth Rank Dou Technique.
Not to mention the Thunder Sect being dumbfounded, even Xiao Yan found it hard to believe.
There are many ways to quickly improve cultivation, like Xiao Yan, who relies on the Strange Flame and the *Burning Art*. But the cultivation of Dou Techniques and combat awareness cannot be rushed. In just one battle, Qing Lin used four types of snake race's Earth Rank Dou Techniques, and each one was not just entry-level or Lesser Mastery, but all cultivated to Greater Mastery or even Perfection.
It takes Xiao Yan a long time to cultivate a single Earth Rank Dou Technique, yet Qing Lin has learned so many Dou Techniques. This is simply impossible.
"Does the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils have other abilities?" Xiao Yan only knew that Qing Lin's Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils could control snakes and put the controlled snake race into her Three-Flower Pupils' alternate dimension.
"The one using the sword is sure to lose." Zi Yan, with her mouth full of oil, walked to Xiao Yan's side and wiped her hands and mouth on Xiao Yan's Alchemist Robe before saying.
Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong also agreed with Zi Yan's statement. Just the difference in cultivation alone made it impossible for Nalan Yanran to win.
And the result was no surprise. If Qing Lin hadn't considered that Nalan Yanran was a member of the Flame Alliance, she would have defeated Nalan Yanran long ago, sending her back in defeat.
"To be able to last so long against Qing Lin is not bad." Xiao Yan said, suppressing a smile.
Nalan Yanran did not refute. Losing is losing. She really couldn't beat Qing Lin.
"Do you know her?" Nalan Yanran asked.
Xiao Yan did not hide it, nodding and saying, "Back in the Mo family, Qing Lin was the one captured by Mo Cheng. Later, two Serpent Emperors from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion came out and Qing Lin was taken to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."
After Xiao Yan's reminder, Nalan Yanran suddenly woke up, stunned. At that time, Xiao Yan did say that his family's maid was captured by Mo Cheng and asked Mo Cheng to hand her over. In the end, he crippled Mo Li and killed Mo Cheng.
In the end, a strange Dou Huang aura did appear and snatched the person away!
So that's how it was!
Suddenly, Nalan Yanran was shocked and looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, asking, "You said she... she was your maid back in the Mo family???"
Xiao Yan glanced at her and said, "What maid or not, Qing Lin is a member of my Xiao Clan. You were the one who said you'd be a servant if you lost. You're the maid."
"I... I'm not, hmph!"
Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li couldn't help but squint at Xiao Yan. This guy is amazing, how come they are all his people.
