Xiao Yan looked calmly at Nalan Jie before him and said indifferently:
"The poison in your body has already penetrated deep into your bones, so the only way to remove it is to let a strange fire enter your body and refine the poison attached to you."
This process will inevitably be extremely painful for you. If you can't bear it halfway through, feel free to scream out; it's not shameful.
Nalan Jie forced a smile onto his skeletal face and said boldly, "Sir, please feel free to try. I won't take a little pain to heart."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan said no more, but inwardly he disagreed.
You'll find out soon enough whether it hurts or not.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and patted Nalan Jie on the back. In an instant, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his palm, carrying a wisp of bone spirit cold fire that entered the latter's body.
"This power of the soul!"
Yun Yun's gaze suddenly sharpened as she rushed over, looking toward the side room at the end of the corridor.
Nalan Su asked curiously, "Sect Leader Yun, what's wrong?"
Yun Yun shook her head and said calmly, "Patriarch Nalan, it seems that the person who cured the poison from Patriarch Nalan is no ordinary person."
Such astonishing spiritual power—I've only ever seen it in Furukawa.
Nalan Su's expression changed upon hearing this.
"What? Could it be that the person who came to detoxify my father is a sixth-grade alchemy master?"
But I've never heard of my father being on good terms with any sixth-grade alchemy master.
Even Master Guhe only came to treat my father out of respect for Sect Master Yun.
Yun Yun thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't necessarily mean they have any special relationship; they might have some ulterior motive."
I heard Gu He mention before that Master Nalan Jie possessed a treasure called the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva, which helps enhance spiritual power and has remarkable effects on alchemists.
Nalan Su nodded and sighed deeply.
"If this can remove the brand poison from my father, what's wrong with giving it to that alchemy master?"
As the two were talking, a beautiful woman suddenly rushed over from a distance.
She was slender and tall, dressed in a white cloud-patterned outfit, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
This person was none other than Nalan Yanran.
Compared to a year ago, Nalan Yanran looks much more mature now. Her face no longer has the air of aristocratic elegance she once had, but her stubborn nature can still be seen between her brows.
She was practicing her fighting skills at the family's training ground when she suddenly heard that two mysterious people had arrived at the Nalan family, seemingly to detoxify Old Master Nalan.
Upon hearing the message, she immediately stopped her cultivation and rushed over.
"Yanran, you've arrived."
When Yun Yun and Nalan Su saw Nalan Yanran, the former smiled gently, while the latter had a stern expression and simply nodded to Nalan Yanran.
"Teacher, Father!" Nalan Yanran bowed respectfully to the two of them and asked with slight concern, "Is there any hope of curing the brand on Grandpa's body this time?"
Yun Yun smiled and nodded: "It should be fine."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's pretty face immediately showed surprise and delight.
"Very good!"
Meanwhile, in the side room.
As Xiao Yan transmitted a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Fire into Nalan Jie's body, the latter, who originally had an iron-like body, suddenly changed his expression and couldn't help but let out a low groan.
His emaciated body trembled violently, and his skeletal face seemed to be enduring something with all his might.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
At this moment, Nalan Jie had only one thought in his mind.
I admit that what I just said was a bit hasty.
Who would have thought that the "exorcising fire" would be so incredibly painful?
Absolutely outrageous!
However, he didn't consider that strange fire is the most violent thing in the world.
To remove the branding poison, one needs to allow the strange fire to enter the body, or even attach itself to the bones.
How can it not hurt?
However, having already made such a bold claim, it would be too embarrassing to actually scream now.
Therefore, even though Nalan Jie was in unbearable pain, he still gritted his teeth and died without uttering a sound.
Such endurance is something even Xiao Yan has to admire.
As time went by, the black bones inside Nalan Jie's body gradually returned to their normal color, and Nalan Jie, who had endured for half a day, had reached the limit of his patience.
"Master... is it ready yet?"
Nalan Jie's voice trembled slightly, and he unconsciously changed his address for "Xiao Yan" to "Master".
At the same time, I kept praying in my heart, "Please hurry up, or I really won't be able to hold on any longer."
Xiao Yan glanced at him and saw cold sweat pouring down his forehead, veins bulging, and immediately understood.
"Don't worry, it's coming soon!"
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, sensing the bone in Nalan Jie's body most severely corroded by the branding poison, and suddenly exerted his strength, increasing the transmission of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
"roar--"
Nalan Jie's pupils dilated suddenly, and he let out a roar like a wild beast.
Compared to the original work, Xiao Yan's detoxification process is more violent and rapid, aiming to achieve the desired result in one step.
Behind Xiao Yan, whether it was the steward or Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran who arrived later, their hearts were in their throats at this moment.
Just as everyone was on edge, "Xiao Yan" suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Yanxiao, how is the old patriarch?"
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Don't worry, he's fine! However, he's been poisoned for too long and needs to rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Nalan Jie on the bed, his aged face no longer had the gloomy look it had before, and his cloudy eyes looked bright and piercing.
Although I couldn't help but shout it out just now, it's understandable that I couldn't hold back at the last moment.
Good health is what truly matters.
Therefore, Nalan Jie was very grateful to the rock master in front of him.
He solemnly cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Master Yanxiao, I am grateful for your help. If there is anything the Nalan family can do in the future, please feel free to ask."
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Patriarch Nalan, there's no need to be so polite. I am being paid."
Nalan Jie laughed loudly: "Hahaha, how can my life, Nalan Jie's life, be compared to a Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva?"
As he spoke, Nalan Jie looked at the steward not far away.
"Go and deliver the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva to Mr. Yan Xiao."
Seeing that Nalan Jie looked well, the steward immediately turned around and bowed slightly to Xiao Yan.
"Master Yanxiao, please wait a moment while I go and fetch the medicine for you."
Xiao Yan nodded in acknowledgment.
At the same time, Yun Yun, who was standing behind the crowd, frowned slightly.
She had a strange feeling about the rock master in front of her, especially after he had removed the poison from the old master Nalan.
It feels like... like a completely different person.
After thanking Xiao Yan, Nalan Jie noticed Yun Yun behind the group and immediately cupped his hands, saying, "Sect Leader Yun, I didn't expect you to be here too?"
Yun Yun gently raised her hand and said, "Patriarch Nalan has just recovered from his serious illness. He should rest and recuperate. He doesn't need to worry about me."
"I've come today to apologize. If it weren't for me, Yanran wouldn't have gone to the Xiao family to break off the engagement."
Nalan Jie said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Yun, this is not your fault. We have spoiled that little girl Yanran too much."
When Little Fairy Doctor heard the Xiao family mentioned, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan standing to the side.
Xiao Yan noticed Nalan Jie's address and looked curiously at the woman behind him, who was dressed in a simple white dress and had a dignified and noble air.
So, she is Yun Yun!
As one of the more prominent female characters in the original work, Yun Yun's charm is undeniable. She has both good looks and a great figure, and she also possesses an indescribable temperament.
If we're talking about which type of woman is more attractive to men, then Yun Yun and Ya Fei would probably be slightly better.
However, aside from taking a few extra glances at it with appreciation, Xiao Yan didn't have any other wicked thoughts.
Symbolically, Chao Yunyun nodded, and Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze.
Yun Yun was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, but she did recognize Xiao Yan's identity.
"I never expected that the mysterious expert who suddenly appeared at the Mittel auction house yesterday would actually be a high-level alchemy master," Yun Yun thought to herself.
Unfortunately, this mysterious alchemy master was dressed in a black robe and even wore a mask, clearly unwilling to reveal his identity; otherwise, she would have definitely made his acquaintance.
Nalan Yanran felt a little strange. For some reason, the mysterious person in front of her gave her a sense of familiarity, as if the two of them had met somewhere before.
However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't recall any connection between herself and this rock-climbing master.
Before she could continue thinking, Nalan Jie suddenly interrupted her with his voice.
Nalan Jie looked stern and showed no respect for Nalan Yanran, even in front of so many people.
"Yanran, you brat, you still know how to go back to the Nalan family?"
"I thought you'd hide in the Yunlan Sect and never come back."
Faced with Nalan Jie's angry questioning, Nalan Yanran's eyes were full of stubbornness.
Even her grandfather, who had been both caring and strict with her since childhood, answered without hesitation:
"The Nalan family is my home, why wouldn't I dare to come back?"
Although I know that going to the Xiao family to annul the engagement was indeed too hasty and did not take the Xiao family's face into consideration.
But pursuing my own life is not wrong either; it's just that I didn't consider things thoroughly enough.
Nalan Yanran's eyes reddened slightly, her gaze filled with determination.
"Moreover, I also suffered the consequences. Xiao Yan divorced me, causing me to lose face. I accept it."
But three years later, I will personally go to the Xiao family and pick up the dignity I have lost myself.
These words are very inspiring!
Even Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, nodded secretly and looked at Nalan Yanran with newfound respect.
nice!
On the other hand, Nalan Jie was still bothered by Nalan Yanran's decision to go to the Xiao family to annul the engagement without their permission.
But looking at Nalan Yanran now, who dares to act, a hint of relief flashed in his murky eyes.
This is what a woman from the Nalan family should be like!
Well then, once he has recovered from his injuries, he can go to the Xiao family in person.
He should at least apologize to the Xiao family, otherwise how could he face his former friend in the afterlife?
After thinking for a moment, Nalan Jie asked Nalan Su curiously, "By the way, I heard that Xiao Yan is also a genius. How is his strength now?"
"Hmm…" Nalan Su's expression turned slightly awkward upon hearing this. After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "Father, according to the information sent back from Wutan City regarding the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony some time ago, it seems that Xiao Yan's strength is suspected to be that of a Great Dou Master."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie immediately fell silent.
Silently turning her head to look at Nalan Yanran, who had spent a year in arduous training, taking various pills, and barely managed to break through to the level of a Battle Master.
At this moment, even Yun Yun silently lowered her head.
Her personally taught apprentice was unexpectedly utterly defeated by a young man from a small family in a remote town.
Who can I reason with?
How embarrassing!
Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She knew Xiao Yan's strength all too well.
She can already imagine the scene two years later when Nalan Yanran challenges Xiao Yan.
However, as soon as she laughed out loud, Little Fairy Doctor realized something was wrong and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I normally don't laugh unless I really can't help it."
Although Nalan Su and Nalan Jie were surprised that the voice of the silent man in black was so young, they still waved to him politely.
"It's alright. Although Yanran is commendable for her courage, she is still lacking compared to that little guy Xiao Yan."
Beside her, Nalan Yanran's pretty face flushed red, and she could only manage to utter a single sentence after a long while.
"I will train even harder. It's hard to say who will be stronger in two years!"
Xiao Yanxin glanced at Nalan Yanran with appreciation.
Well said, that's ambitious!
After this little incident, the butler soon returned with a brightly colored herb.
Clearly, this is the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva!
"Master Yan Xiao, this is the reward you requested, Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva."
Xiao Yan didn't stand on ceremony and with a wave of his hand, quickly put the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva into his storage ring.
Yun Yun's gaze sharpened slightly upon seeing this.
The hands of this rock-hung master…
Looks so young!
A sense of curiosity arose in Yun Yun's heart, feeling that this Rock Owl Master did not seem as old as he appeared.
However, he wasn't one to pry into other people's secrets, so he quickly put the matter behind him.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also said, "Now that we have obtained the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva, I should take my leave."
Although Nalan Jie wanted to treat him with the highest honors of the Nalan family, he had no choice but to give up since "Master Yanxiao" had already said so.
Nalan Jie coughed and said to Nalan Yanran, "Girl, go and see Master Yan Xiao off."
Nalan Yanran replied respectfully, "Yes, Master!"
With a respectful demeanor, he saw Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor off from the Nalan family.
After leaving the Nalan family home, Nalan Yanran thanked them again, saying, "Master Yanxiao, thank you for saving my grandfather."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly.
"It's mutually beneficial, then."
Nalan Yanran shook her head. "No matter what, Master Yanxiao has done a great favor for our Nalan family. Please accept my bow."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Xiao Yan.
I must say, looking at her sincere expression, she's actually quite filial.
...
Back at the restaurant, Xiao Yan took out the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva and asked, "Teacher, what do you plan to do with this? Will you refine it into a pill, or use it directly?"
The old apothecary sighed and said, "I do know a pill formula with Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva as the main ingredient, but unfortunately the other ingredients in that formula are too rare. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather them all in the Gama Empire."
Xiao Yan shrugged and said, "So, the only option is to directly use the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva?"
The old medicine master said helplessly, "Indeed, this is the only way. It's just a pity that directly using the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva will not maximize its effects."
As he spoke, the old man's soul flew out of the Bone Inflame Ring.
Little Fairy Doctor stood to the side, but neither Xiao Yan nor Yao Lao showed any intention of avoiding her.
Little Fairy Doctor was slightly taken aback when she looked at the old doctor in front of her, who had a rather otherworldly air about him.
Is this the old man inside Xiao Yan's body?
The old doctor even greeted Little Fairy Doctor.
"Little Fairy Doctor, we've finally met. I've heard Xiao Yan praise you a lot in private."
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor blushed slightly.
"Having met the seniors, I realize I'm not actually that good; those were just Xiao Yan's lies."
Even so, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan with a coquettish look, as if to say, "Is that really so?"
Seeing this, the old doctor chuckled and stroked his beard, thinking to himself.
Little Yanzi, that's all the help I can give you
In the spacious and bright room, the illusory figure of the old doctor floated in mid-air, his smile calm and confident.
In the palm of his hand, a wisp of pale white flame danced nimbly.
With a slight gesture, the old apothecary threw the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva into the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
In just a moment, it melted into a ball of seven-colored liquid.
Looking at the seven-colored liquid that exuded a rich fragrance, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Teacher, once you refine the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva, you should be able to recover a lot of your soul power, right? At that time, you will be able to unleash the strength of a Star Dou Sect?"
After all, in the original story, Yao Lao was able to regain his Dou Zong strength after refining the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva.
The old man is in much better condition now than in the original story, so he should be able to unleash even greater power.
"I can't guarantee that either, but it shouldn't be lower than a three-star Dou Zong."
The old doctor chuckled, his gaze toward Qi Huan Qing Ling Xian becoming more intense, and pointed with his finger.
The seven-colored liquid suddenly seemed to gain a touch of sentience, flying towards the old man's brow.
Upon touching the old man's brow, it instantly disappeared into it.
It was then instantly refined!
Half a minute later, Xiao Yan, who was standing not far away, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The little fairy doctor next to him asked curiously, "Xiao Yan, do you feel... the ground seems to be shaking?"
Xiao Yan nodded and smiled, "Your feeling is right, the ground is indeed shaking."
As he spoke, he looked at the old doctor and said, "Teacher, please hold back a bit."
"Don't let the restaurant collapse; otherwise, the whole capital will be drawn to our commotion."
It wouldn't matter if Jia Xingtian, the peak of Douhuang, was attracted here.
They were afraid that the commotion here would attract the attention of that eccentric guy in the Yunlan Sect.
Although Xiao Yan was not sure whether that strange fellow was still in the Yunlan Sect.
But there's no need to gamble!
Upon hearing this, the old doctor chuckled and said, "It was my oversight!"
As he spoke, the aura that was about to erupt from Yao Lao was suddenly suppressed back into his body.
Only then did the shaking sensation from the ground disappear completely.
Inside the restaurant, the bewildered guests breathed a sigh of relief, patting their chests and saying, "We felt the ground shaking just now; we thought the earth was turning over."
The person on the upper floor of the restaurant wiped the cold sweat from their forehead.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm; otherwise, the restaurant might have collapsed.
It doesn't matter whether the guests live or die, but they will suffer a huge loss.
Of course, this was just a minor incident.
After the old doctor refined the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor left the capital.
At the same time!
The Gama Royal Family, the three great families of the Empire, the Alchemist Guild, and the Yunlan Sect.
All factions learned of this information from their informants and reacted in different ways.
It is regrettable that we were unable to befriend the three great families of the empire.
The Alchemist Guild and the Yunlan Sect are detached from worldly affairs, so they have a more indifferent attitude.
The Gama Empire's royal family, however, was filled with anxiety and uncertainty about the departure of this mysterious and powerful figure.
They wanted to recruit him, but were worried about letting a wolf into the house, and in the end, they could only watch helplessly as he left.
...
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye!
Looking down at the misty valley below, Little Fairy Doctor opened her arms as if embracing the air, a contented and nostalgic smile on her bare face.
"The scenery in the valley is still so beautiful!" Little Fairy Doctor said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yan's profile.
Xiao Yan nodded, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the genuine smile on Little Fairy Doctor's face.
After thinking for a moment, he replied with a smile, "In that case, let's stay in the valley for another month."
His original plan was to devour the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and then immediately head to the Tagor Desert.
But Xiao Yan couldn't help but change his mind because of Xiao Yixian's heartfelt smile and the fleeting expectation in her eyes.
Oh well, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire is in the Tagor Desert anyway, it can't escape.
"Really?"
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked quite excited.
Xiao Yan nodded and smiled gently.
"So what if you're cultivating somewhere?"
"Um!"
Little Fairy Doctor responded, her gaze towards Xiao Yan filled with unusual emotions, and her smile was bright.
At that moment, her heart was pounding!
Feeling the intense, burning gaze, Xiao Yan's breathing also became slightly rapid.
At this moment, he could only keep his mind calm by deliberately looking straight ahead without glancing to the side.
In the Bone Inflammation Ring, the old doctor shook his head in exasperation.
"Sigh, what a disappointment!"
He's nowhere near as good as he was when he was young!
The slightly ambiguous atmosphere lasted only a moment before being broken by a sudden, powerful voice.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, you're finally back!"
The sound was like muffled thunder.
Suddenly, a huge purple figure flew up from below.
It was none other than the Amethyst Winged Lion King!
Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a hint of resentment before turning her gaze away from Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan also breathed a slight sigh of relief. If it weren't for the Lion King, he really wouldn't know how to deal with Little Fairy Doctor's intense gaze.
He hadn't expected that a casual decision would cause such a sudden and significant emotional fluctuation in Little Fairy Doctor.
Although he knew that Little Fairy Doctor had some special feelings for him.
However, Little Fairy Doctor has always been reserved in her approach to relationships, consistently giving him a comfortable and gradual feeling.
However, just now, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly changed her usual strategy, and her burning gaze seemed to be clearly telling Xiao Yan that she liked him.
This sudden attack clearly caught Xiao Yan off guard.
Fortunately, the Lion King came to his rescue.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
You can't exactly look Little Fairy Doctor in the same way with those affectionate eyes, can you?
Or should I just give him a kiss?
To be honest, he didn't even dare to imagine that scene; it was too bizarre.
Coughing, Xiao Yan snapped out of his thoughts and said seriously, "I'm grateful for the Lion King's help these past few days."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed heartily and said proudly, "It is I who should thank you. I have been cultivating with the essence of those magical beasts these days, and my strength has greatly increased."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Then congratulations, Lion King!"
Upon entering the valley, the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked curiously, "Have you prepared everything you requested?"
"Of course." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King said solemnly, "Why don't you raise your cultivation level again before absorbing the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire? After all, this is no joke; you only have one chance."
After thinking for a moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King added another sentence.
"You still owe me two Transformation Pills, and I don't want to see you burned to ashes by the strange fire."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan laughed heartily.
"Lion King, you underestimate me. I dared to come because I was absolutely certain of my success."
After all, in the original novel, Xiao Yan, who was only a Dou Shi, was able to successfully absorb the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.
In terms of willpower and strength, he is far superior to the original author, so there is no reason why he cannot absorb the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
Seeing Xiao Yan's confidence, the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not offer any further advice.
One day later!
Xiao Yan arrived at the underground space alone.
To avoid affecting Xiao Yan, neither the Amethyst Winged Lion King nor Little Fairy Doctor came down.
Looking at the crimson flames of ten thousand beasts before him, Yao Lao's voice was solemn.
"Little Yanzi, are you ready?"
Xiao Yan grinned, his expression calm and his eyes resolute.
"Don't worry, teacher!"
"It will succeed!"
At this moment, as he was about to devour the strange fire, Xiao Yan's heart was extremely calm.
Looking at the myriad beast spirit fire in his line of sight, he flicked his finger.
Three aids that could devour the strange fire immediately flew out of his storage ring.
They are Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and Spirit Absorption Pill.
After returning to the valley yesterday, the old doctor concocted the Blood Lotus Pill for him.
Unfortunately, with his current alchemy skills, the success rate of refining fifth-grade pills is less than 50%.
If it's a high-grade fifth-rank pill like the Blood Lotus Pill, the success rate is even less than 30%.
Looking at the three items in front of him, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all, grabbed the Blood Lotus Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
The next moment, a layer of perfectly fitted blood-red armor appeared on his body.
"Now! Get the fire!" Yao Lao shouted from the side.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan decisively reached into the myriad beasts' agility, pulled out a small, blood-red flame, and then skillfully tilted his head back to swallow it.
Xiao Yan had already heard Yao Lao explain the steps of devouring the strange fire countless times, and it had become muscle memory for him.
As the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire entered his body, an extremely intense burning sensation erupted from within.
Blood-red flames flowed through every meridian and blood vessel in Xiao Yan's body.
Wherever he went, Xiao Yan could even hear the sound of his own blood boiling.
However, to Xiao Yan's surprise, the pain he was enduring did not seem to be so exaggerated as to be unbearable.
Even the old medicine master was shocked. Back then, he had suffered greatly in order to absorb the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and was almost burned to death.
In contrast, Xiao Yan, although his brows were furrowed, did not look like he was in excruciating pain.
The old doctor raised an eyebrow and said with some uncertainty, "Could it be that there is some kind of innate devouring strange fire holy body in this world?"
At this rate, even if Xiao Yanzi suffers more, he won't even need to consume the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to devour the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
After careful consideration, the old doctor suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing the underlying principle.
The fighting spirit that Xiao Yanzi cultivated, although not as terrifyingly lethal as fighting spirit, was still powerful.
However, the gentle nature of the fighting spirit allows it to strengthen the meridians more effectively.
Therefore, the resilience of Xiao Yanzi's internal meridians, combined with the blood membrane formed by the Blood Lotus Pill, was enough to withstand the scorching of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
Thinking of this, the old doctor was slightly taken aback.
So, Xiao Yanzi really does have the Innate Devouring Different Flame Holy Body?
This is a job I was born to do!
On the other side, Xiao Yan seemed to realize that the strange fire could not harm him, so he immediately grabbed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and drank it all in one gulp.
Although he also felt that he could devour strange fire without needing the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
But who would be so foolish as to suffer without experiencing the hardship?
As the icy spring water entered his body, Xiao Yan shivered. The intense burning pain he had felt earlier vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of comfort.
Cool!
Sensing that the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire posed no threat to him, Xiao Yan immediately began to fully circulate the Burning Technique, guiding the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire within his body to flow through his meridians according to the instructions of the Burning Technique.
As the Burning Technique circulated for one cycle, Xiao Yan could clearly feel a special connection between himself and the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
Finally, it devours the spirit and opens up a small space to store the strange fire.
"It's done!" Yao Lao exclaimed with great joy as he looked at Xiao Yan, whose expression was calm.
Now, all that's left is for Xiao Yan to collect the fire seed into the Nascent Soul, and then the Burning Technique can be evolved in due course.
As time went on, the aura emanating from Xiao Yan became increasingly terrifying.
As he refined the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, the immense energy within it also strengthened his physical body.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye!
The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was eventually refined by Xiao Yan and stored in the Spirit Storage Space.
The fighting spirit within him also changed from bright yellow to blood red.
Their aura was on a completely different level, and their cultivation level broke through from the 62nd stage of Dou Qi to the 70th stage.
As Xiao Yan's cultivation level continued to break through, Yao Lao even saw a faint crimson aura rising from the top of Xiao Yan's head, shaped like beacon fires.
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the changes happening inside his body, and his joy was almost indescribable.
"It seems you've gained a lot." Yao Lao smiled at Xiao Yan, then asked curiously, "What level has your Burning Technique evolved to?"
Xiao Yan opened his palm, and a wisp of blood-red fighting spirit immediately gushed out from his body.
He laughed and said, "The Xuan level is low!"
The old doctor nodded and said with emotion, "It's already quite good. At least it shows that the Burning Technique can indeed evolve."
"There is indeed no comparison between low-level Xuan-level and Huang-level cultivation techniques."
"I can clearly feel that the speed at which the fighting energy circulates within my body has increased by several times," Xiao Yan commented, trying to circulate the fighting energy within his body.
Yao Lao rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan and said, "Isn't that just nonsense?"
If cultivation techniques have no distinction between strong and weak, why are there four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow?
Advanced techniques can not only increase the speed at which you circulate your fighting spirit, but also improve the quality of your fighting spirit, and offer many other wonderful uses.
Xiao Yan looked at the blood-red fighting spirit in his palm and nodded in agreement.
He raised his hand and squeezed, and a sound like a sonic boom even came from his palm.
Seeing this, the old doctor clicked his tongue in admiration and said, "Little Yanzi, your power is becoming more and more terrifying."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"There is still room for improvement. I have a feeling that when my fighting spirit breaks through the hundredth level, my physical strength will likely undergo a qualitative leap."
Upon hearing this, the old doctor sighed and said, "Alas, you are now embarking on a path that no one has ever practiced before. You can only figure everything out on your own. There is nothing I can do to help you."
Xiao Yan comforted him, saying, "Teacher, you have helped me so much. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
After listening, the old doctor shook his head and said with a laugh, "Alright, stop praising this old man. Go out and keep Little Fairy Doctor company. She's been worried sick about you these past few days."
After saying this, the old doctor returned to the Bone Inflammation Ring.
Xiao Yan stood there and scratched his head, but the image of Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful and gentle face kept coming to mind.
Immediately, a gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
When he emerged from the underground tunnel, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Little Fairy Doctor had been waiting outside for quite some time.
The former burst into thunderous laughter, "Hahaha, Xiao Yan, you really succeeded!"
A dazzling light burst forth in Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes, and a look of surprise and excitement appeared on her slightly tired face.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan, she paused for a moment before finally running towards him.
Like a fledgling returning to its nest, she nestled into Xiao Yan's arms.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness you're alright!"
Little Fairy Doctor touched Xiao Yan's back with both hands, as if to check if he was injured.
Her voice trembled slightly, her tone conveying both concern and relief.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath.
This time, he did not hesitate or waver. As if by instinct, he embraced Little Fairy Doctor and comforted her gently.
"I'm fine!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stood not far away, watching Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor embrace tightly, looking deeply affectionate. Its massive body trembled slightly.
The air seemed to be filled with a sour, foul smell, making the Amethyst Winged Lion King feel utterly superfluous.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough! I'm still here!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, its voice like muffled thunder, instantly shattering the tender moment between Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor.
As if suddenly struck by lightning, Little Fairy Doctor broke free from Xiao Yan's embrace.
However, the blush on her pretty face could not be removed no matter what she did.
Xiao Yan glanced at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, his lips twitching slightly, and said irritably, "Lion King, I originally wanted to tell you some good news and give you a great opportunity, but you've put me in a difficult position!"
Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes lit up.
"Xiao Yan, what kind of good fortune have you encountered? Tell me about it."
"Tell me that I will never interfere with your good deeds again."
Little Fairy Doctor blushed even more as she listened to the Lion King's lewd words.
Xiao Yan didn't keep him in suspense any longer and said with a smile, "Since you know that I have successfully refined the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, do you know what one of the uses of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its enormous head with curiosity in its eyes.
"Although the Spirit Flame of Ten Thousand Beasts is extremely famous among magical beasts, I really don't know what it does."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan opened his arms.
In an instant, a wisp of blood-red flame rose from his palm.
The temperature rose rapidly the moment the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was lit.
In particular, the space on the surface of the flame is subtly distorted by the high temperature.
Xiao Yan smiled and explained, "The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is formed by the condensation of the blood and soul of myriad beasts."
Therefore, the Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts can temper the bloodline within a magical beast, thereby helping its bloodline revert to its ancestral state.
After listening to Xiao Yan's account, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lantern-sized eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
"Xiao Yan, you must help me! The stronger I am, the safer you will be."
"The Amethyst Winged Lion King said, his eyes full of anticipation."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Since I have told you about the function of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, I naturally cannot not help you. However, you will have to endure the pain of tempering your body with the strange fire yourself. At most, I can only keep you from dying."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, I can definitely hold back!"
Xiao Yan casually replied, "Okay, you can come find me once you're in the right state."
However, to Xiao Yan's great surprise...
After a while, the Amethyst Winged Lion King actually brought the little lion king over.
He said in a booming voice, "Xiao Yan, why don't you try training this brat's body with different fire first?"
He's still young, highly malleable, and the chances of his bloodline reverting to its ancestral form might be a bit higher.
Xiao Yan glanced at the bewildered little lion king, then at the self-righteous amethyst winged lion king, but couldn't figure it out.
"Alright, but I told you before, the process of tempering the body with different fires is extremely painful, so you'd better make sure the little lion king is mentally prepared," Xiao Yan said, shrugging.
"Hehe, I'm not going to die anyway, so bring it on."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King slapped the little lion king's rear end with its paw, instantly sending the bewildered creature flying towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan didn't hesitate and patted the little lion king on the head.
"Don't resist!"
The little lion king glanced back at the amethyst winged lion king with a hazy look, as if seeking his opinion.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a low growl.
"Why are you looking at me? Just listen to Xiao Yan."
The little lion king immediately turned his head back and growled at Xiao Yan in the same way.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan flicked his finger.
The power of the soul instantly enveloped the wisp of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and directly entered the little lion king's body.
roar--
The next moment, the little lion king let out an extremely mournful roar.
Despite Xiao Yan's best efforts to control the intensity of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, the little lion king was still writhing on the ground in pain.
Beneath the skin, which resembled a purple crystal, faint lines of charred black marks could be seen.
Upon seeing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King looked slightly frightened; Xiao Yan really hadn't lied to him.
Luckily, I didn't try it first, otherwise I would be the one suffering now.
As for the Lion King?
This child is young; it will be good for him to suffer more.
Half a day later, the little lion king's aura suddenly surged, and the injuries caused by the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire miraculously healed themselves.
Even more miraculously, the little lion king transformed into a giant, blood-red pupa.
"It actually worked!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King exclaimed in surprise, its eyes filled with excitement.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan asked, "Would you like to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes flashed with interest, but in the end, he shook his head.
"Judging from your appearance, you seem to have expended a lot of energy. I'll wait until you've recovered before we talk."
Xiao Yan thought about it and realized that controlling the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire did indeed consume a lot of spiritual power, so he agreed with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's statement.
And so, three days later!
After enduring a series of painful torments, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attempt to revert to its ancestral bloodline failed.
Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King listless and lost in self-doubt, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile.
"Lion King, don't be discouraged, there will be a next time!"
Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who was lying on the ground looking half-dead, shuddered and his eyes filled with fear.
...
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye!
A lot has happened this month.
First, the little lion king emerged from its cocoon on the seventh day after undergoing the tempering of the strange fire, and its bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, evolving into the bloodline of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Secondly, after failing three times, the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally succeeded on its fourth attempt, successfully reverting to its ancestral lineage.
He then emerged from his cocoon in just three days, awakening the bloodline of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, further enhancing his strength and reaching the level of a Nine-Star Dou Huang.
According to Yao Lao, once he refines all the magical beast blood essence in the underground space, he will probably be able to break through to the Dou Zong level.
He can transform into human form without even needing a transformation pill.
At the time, Xiao Yan joked, "Lion King, once you break through to the Dou Zong realm, you won't need the Transformation Pill anymore. Will you still be at my beck and call then?"
However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King raised its head proudly and said, "Of course, I owe you a debt of gratitude for my current position. I promised to let you serve me for ten years, and I will never go back on my word."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately gave a thumbs up.
"As expected of the Lion King, so generous!"
In addition, after careful consideration, Little Fairy Doctor also began to frequently prepare poisons for her cultivation.
Her thinking was simple: she didn't want to hold Xiao Yan back when he needed her.
Of course, the most important point is that Little Fairy Doctor believes that Xiao Yan can help her eliminate the hidden dangers of the Calamity Poison Body before it completely erupts.
Therefore, Xiao Yan ultimately chose to respect her opinion.
However, he also required Little Fairy Doctor to temper her soul with him using the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire to enhance her soul power.
This function is of the same nature as the body tempering process of Meteorite Heartfire.
This is also the second function of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire!
The Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts is not only the fire of the bloodline of ten thousand beasts, but also the fire of their souls. It can temper the souls of both humans and beasts.
At the same time, this is also an extra layer of insurance that Xiao Yan added for Little Fairy Doctor.
He had asked the old doctor, and the essence of the Calamity Poison Body's outbreak was that the poison gas entered the brain, causing the Calamity Poison Body to lose its mind.
As long as Little Fairy Doctor's soul power is strong enough to control her rationality, wouldn't that be enough?
If all else fails, then so be it if I die; at worst, I'll just get a new body.
Xiao Yan took it all in stride, believing that there's always a way to overcome difficulties.
