Xiao Yan's eyes showed some surprise, and he couldn't help swallowing, licking his lips. This kiss was different from those with Xun Er, Yun Yun, and Cai Lin.
This kiss was affectionate with a hint of elegance, somewhat elusive, yet conveying a deep, reluctant affection. It was soft with a touch of coolness, and the moment she lowered her head, a very faint medicinal fragrance wafted over, making it unforgettable.
Xiao Yan was conflicted! He really wasn't a scumbag, but his heart was broken in two, one half for Xun Er and the other for Cai Lin! Cai Lin was still pregnant at home, waiting for him to return, and Xun Er was in the Gu Clan of Central State, waiting for him to marry her!!
Was he even human?!
Seeing Xiao Yan lick his lips, Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks instantly flushed red, her mind in a mess, her heart pounding wildly. Xiao Yan could even hear her rapidly beating heart from this distance.
Little Fairy Doctor wondered if she had been poisoned! How could she suddenly do something like this?! Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something, Little Fairy Doctor pressed her finger firmly against Xiao Yan's lips, quickly saying, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just thanking you for saving my life, there's no other meaning!"
"Mmmph!" (Suffocating!)
Little Fairy Doctor pursed her lips, her eyes darting around before finally settling on the Zhen Bird preening its feathers nearby. She grabbed it and changed the subject, asking, "You gave me the Strange Flame, what about you?"
What could Xiao Yan do? Pretend he didn't know she was changing the subject, what else could he do?
"Ahem." Xiao Yan coughed lightly and said, "I have quite a few Strange Flames, and after all, this is a Strange Flame that I refined. If you're nearby, I can still use it."
Xiao Yan's mind stirred, and he activated the Burning Skill. The Zhen Bird transformed back into the shape of a Poison Pill, and a ball of dark green flame separated and floated beside Xiao Yan.
A Strange Flame refined by the Burning Skill could not escape at all, unless Xiao Yan actively released it himself. Otherwise, not to mention the Netherworld Poison Flame, even the Void Swallowing Flame couldn't leave.
Now, Xiao Yan was essentially lending out the Strange Flame, but it was a long-term loan.
Fortunately, this was only the Netherworld Poison Flame, ranked twentieth, and it didn't have a significant impact on Xiao Yan's Burning Skill, it didn't downgrade.
Sure enough, the Poison Pill, having lost the Netherworld Poison Flame, could not transform on its own. When Xiao Yan allowed the two to merge again, the Zhen Bird reappeared.
This was a magical existence between a Pill Beast and a Strange Flame Spirit.
And Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body was still there. Her Poison Dou Qi came from the Calamity Poison Body. This was Dou Qi, used to cast Dou Techniques. The poisonous gas produced by the Calamity Poison Body was contained within the Netherworld Poison Flame and the Poison Pill.
Little Fairy Doctor had always had two kinds of power: the Poison Dou Qi and Dou Techniques of the Calamity Poison Body, which was her cultivation Dou Qi used in battle, and the terrifying Calamity Poison.
Little Fairy Doctor asked out of nowhere, "Aren't you worried that I'll suddenly run away?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart trembled. He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the softness transmitted through the Alchemist Robe, and murmured, "I haven't considered that question."
Indeed, just like Xun Er back then, Xiao Yan never thought that Xun Er would one day leave him and return to the Gu Clan.
Seeing Xiao Yan slowly close his eyes, Little Fairy Doctor secretly vowed in her heart, "I won't leave you."
"How long are you going to lie there?"
"I'm injured, let me lie down for a while longer! By the way, what's your cultivation level now?"
"The Calamity Poison Body absorbed the poison of the Netherworld Poison Flame, Four-Star, close to Five-Star Dou Zun."
Speechless. Xiao Yan was shocked, dumbfounded! In the end, even with his thick skin, Xiao Yan couldn't continue to take advantage of Little Fairy Doctor's kindness, so he got up, took some medicinal pills to heal his injuries, found a place, sat cross-legged, and slowly circulated the Burning Skill, refining the medicinal effects to recover his injuries.
"This thing is so troublesome..." Xiao Yan opened his eyes. He slowly spread out his hand, and a wisp of gray lightning, like a wheat awn, actually appeared in his palm.
Xiao Yan never expected that the thunderclouds of the Heavenly Punishment had disappeared, but because he had been struck by the lightning, some gray lightning remained in his body! "This thing really won't stop until it kills the Alchemist, even the Yin-Yang Dual Flame can only trap it temporarily, unable to completely eliminate it." There were quite a few of these gray electric sparks in Xiao Yan's body now, but they were wrapped in balls of black and white flames, which protected Xiao Yan.
Otherwise, with the aging power of this gray Heavenly Punishment, Xiao Yan's organs would probably be failing by now.
Xiao Yan's expression was a bit grave. He really couldn't deal with the power of this heaven and earth for the time being.
However, it wasn't entirely without a solution. Every time he refined a Strange Flame and evolved the Burning Skill, his body would be baptized by the power of the Strange Flame. As long as he could find a new Strange Flame, he could use the power of the Strange Flame to clear the remaining gray electric sparks in his body when fusing the Strange Flame.
And Xiao Yan really knew of a Strange Flame that was very suitable.
Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, ranked twelfth on the Strange Flame list, second only to Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
When the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame rose, one could faintly see nine fire dragons rising and traveling within the flames. Dragon Might was condensed within the Strange Flame, so it had the effect of deterring the Soul.
At the same time, it was also a Strange Flame with both thunder and fire attributes. In terms of pure destructive power, it was even more fierce and terrifying than the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame, which was ranked tenth.
This was exactly what Xiao Yan needed now.
But the problem was that the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame was the Burning Flame Valley's inherited flame, passed down from generation to generation. Was Xiao Yan going to run over and say to them: Brother, lend me some fire? He would probably be hunted down by the entire Burning Flame Valley!
"Alas, fortunately, Old Ancestor left behind the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, so there's no major problem for the time being. No matter what, even to obtain the complete Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, I have to go to Burning Flame Valley." Xiao Yan shook his head, he couldn't even rest, he had to run again.
He had just solved Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, and now he had to prepare to go to the Burning Flame Valley in Central State.
Burning Flame Valley is located relatively deep within Central State, not on the periphery. It sits in the Scorching Volcano Mountain Range in the southwest of the Central Region. This mountain range is entirely composed of scorching volcanoes. As far as the eye can see, it's a monotonous expanse of crimson. Thick white smoke constantly rises from the peaks of some mountains, and occasionally, lava overflows from within.
Xiao Yan naturally kept the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations in mind. After all, this was a super secret technique created by his Old Ancestor Xiao Xuan. And he didn't know why, but the Soul Palace had labeled the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations as a Heaven Rank High-Level super secret technique.
However, according to Xiao Yan's inquiries from various sources, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, although the Burning Flame Valley's secret technique, was only Earth Rank High-Level, not even reaching Heaven Rank.
But compared to Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Yan trusted the Soul Palace's judgment more. He also believed that the secret technique created by his Old Ancestor, who once fought half the Soul Clan alone, couldn't be as trash as Earth Rank.
"Sigh, if only the Burning Flame Valley Master had some terminal illness that required an Eighth Grade Pill." Xiao Yan 'hoped' a little in his heart, cursing the Burning Flame Valley Master.
"But am I considered an Eighth Grade Alchemist now?" Xiao Yan thought. Although the pills he refined didn't attract Colored Pill Lightning, wasn't gray a color too! And that pill was even a Pill Beast, a definite Eighth Grade High-Level Pill!
Eighth Grade Alchemist, why not! After a little pride, Xiao Yan took out a box containing a beautiful Bodhi Seed.
"After absorbing all the essence in the Bodhi Transformation Saliva and being refined by the Strange Flame, you can get the Bodhi Seed. But there's nothing special about this Bodhi Seed." Xiao Yan looked left and right but couldn't figure out how this Bodhi Seed could guide him to the Bodhi Tree.
As for asking Hun Xuzi or the Soul Palace, he would be stupid to do that.
Even the Hall Master had ordered a worldwide search for all items related to the Bodhi Tree. If the Soul Palace people knew that the Bodhi Seed was in his hands, it would definitely be confiscated.
Couldn't he, Flame Venerable, have some selfish desires?
Shaking his head, since there were no clues, thinking too much was useless. Xiao Yan packed up and walked out of the secret room. He happened to see the Little Fairy Doctor, who had changed into a beautiful white floral dress, putting some scrolls back into the light clusters and onto the bookshelves in the Books Collection Pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Yan come out, the Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly. The Qian Bai Two Elders, who were also tidying up on the other side, smiled. Qian Lao said, "Is everything alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Qian Bai Two Elders. I've troubled you this time." Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said.
The Qian Bai Two Elders smiled at each other. Bai Lao stroked his beard and said, "Hehe, this time, we two have also turned misfortune into blessing. We've already touched that level. I believe we'll be able to break through to Dou Zun soon. Speaking of which, we have to thank you."
"But compared to this little girl... uh, compared to this Venerable, we two old men are far behind."
The Qian Bai Two Elders shook their heads with bitter smiles. Comparing people is really infuriating. They had been comprehending in the Books Collection Pavilion, a place with traces of Dou Zun, for decades but hadn't been able to touch the threshold of Dou Zun at all. As a result, the Little Fairy Doctor's strength had surpassed them by a lot all of a sudden.
They still had to rely on Xiao Yan's good fortune to touch the threshold of Dou Zun. How infuriating! "You two are too kind. You can just call me Little Fairy Doctor." The Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand.
Qian Lao looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, but before leaving, I still have to leave something for the academy."
...
The day after Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor left the Books Collection Pavilion and returned to the Inner Academy, the entire courtyard of Xiao Hall was surrounded by a dense crowd of people! And all of these people were Alchemists!
In addition to the Alchemists and Elders of the Canaan Academy's Alchemy Department, Ya Fei also brought many Alchemists from Xiao City. Even some students who had graduated from the Inner Academy and gone to Xiao City had come here with Ya Fei.
Xiao Yan Master was giving lessons again!
No, this time it wasn't a master class, it was a grandmaster class!! How terrifying Xiao Yan's Alchemy skills were no longer needed the Inner Academy students to boast about. Just the terrifying Pill Lightning not long ago, even people who didn't know the inside story understood that Xiao Yan had definitely refined an extraordinary pill.
Xiao Yan taught in the academy for ten consecutive days. This time, he even opened the course to Rank 6 High-Level pills! Xiao Yan actually started teaching people how to refine the Huangji Pill!
Although many Alchemists estimated that they would never be able to refine the Huangji Pill in their lifetime, it didn't prevent them from listening and watching.
The most important thing was that Xiao Yan didn't hide his Alchemy techniques. He used the most common Alchemy techniques to refine, simplifying the complex and drawing inferences from one instance.
"His, his Alchemy strength seems to be even more powerful than Great-Grandfather!" Xin Lan was the only person present who could completely understand Xiao Yan's lectures. It was because she could understand that she was even more terrified.
This was easier to understand than the lectures given by her family's Seventh Grade Alchemist, or even an Eighth Grade Alchemist!
Although this didn't necessarily mean that Xiao Yan's Alchemy strength was definitely Eighth Grade, most people with such an understanding of Alchemy had extremely high Alchemy levels!
This instantly reminded Xin Lan of the Alchemy lectures occasionally given by those giants in the Pill Tower!
"Everyone, you can try to use some of the knowledge just now to refine pills. I will stay for a few more days. Failure is the mother of success, don't be afraid of failing to refine pills." Xiao Yan smiled, put away the Huangji Pill, and arranged a 'small in-class test'.
"Xin Lan, come into the hall for a moment." Xiao Yan used Soul Transmission to call Xin Lan, who was still looking at him in shock.
Xiao Yan naturally hadn't forgotten that Xin Lan seemed to have something to ask him.
Hearing Xiao Yan's Soul Transmission, Xin Lan's body trembled, and she nodded, following Xiao Yan into the courtyard.
In the hall, Xiao Yu and other members of the Xiao Clan were naturally there. Not only the Xiao Clan people but also Ya Fei was there. After all, Xiao Yan was about to return to the Gama Empire, and even leave the Northwest Region to go to Central State, so there must be something to deal with quickly and let him handle and approve it.
The Little Fairy Doctor was studying the Poison Pill in her room, after all, this was an unrecorded Poison Pill, and no one had ever created such a thing.
The Little Fairy Doctor had already embarked on an unprecedented path, and the rest was up to her to slowly walk.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Xiao Yan didn't waste any words and asked directly.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ya Fei and others, who were sorting out Xiao City's income report, all looked curiously at Xin Lan, also curious about what this very young-looking girl with a good appearance wanted from Xiao Yan.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xin Lan's eyes immediately turned a little red, and she bit her lip gently, looking aggrieved.
For a moment, Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, What did you do to her?!
Xiao Yan was also dumbfounded, What did I do to her??
With a thud, Xin Lan suddenly knelt on the ground. This startled Xiao Yan and everyone else present! "Senior Xiao Yan, please save my family."
