Just as Xiao Yan had anticipated, Xiao Yi Xian brought him to the small valley from the original story.
The location of the valley was secluded, making it difficult for outsiders to discover or enter.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were only able to enter because of a tier-1 Demonic Beast that Xiao Yi Xian had once treated.
The scenery in the valley was picturesque, planted with various rare medicinal herbs that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, mixed within the thick fog above the valley.
“This place is really nice, Xiao Yi Xian, this place of yours is really nice.” Xiao Yan praised out loud.
Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and gladly accepted the praise.
“Let’s live here from now on.
You teach me Alchemy, and I’ll take care of your daily necessities and meals.
How about that?”
“Of course, no problem.”
Receiving the reply, Xiao Yi Xian skipped happily toward the small wooden house in the middle of the valley.
Obviously, this was not her first time here; this was the kind of place that belonged to her secret base.
Realizing this, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, unsure of what his feelings were.
In a place like this, even the Xiao Yan in the original story was only brought here after saving Xiao Yi Xian twice and destroying the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
How could he have progressed so quickly after just experiencing one adventure with Xiao Yi Xian?
He was baffled.
Unable to figure it out, Xiao Yan simply stopped thinking about it.
This place was not bad; it was just right for him to properly improve his strength.
Since he was going to deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a Flight Dou Technique was of utmost priority.
Secondly, there were also Earth Rank Dou Techniques, which he should try to learn as well.
As for the Earth Rank low-tier Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler taught by Yao Lao in the original story, he had no intention of learning it.
He preferred the feeling of fists connecting to flesh.
Among the Dou Di Legacy he obtained, Earth Rank Dou Techniques were the lowest, and also the most numerous.
Xiao Yan flipped through his mind and picked an Earth Rank low-tier Dou Technique called “Flame Burst Fist”.
This boxing technique was suitable for people with Fire-attribute Qi to execute.
It concentrated Fire-attribute Qi on the fists, and after striking the enemy, it would erupt explosively.
Unlike the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, which had long-range, large-area attacks, this Dou Technique had a much stronger single-target burst, making it very suitable for him.
Xiao Yan made up his mind: master “Flame Burst Fist”, master Purple Cloud Wings, and go straight to blow up the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Exactly, if he remembered correctly, Yun Yun would go to the Amethyst Winged Lion King to exchange for a purple spirit crystal for the sake of her good disciple Nalan Yanran, thus triggering a major battle.
By then, he would play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, which could save him a lot of effort.
…
Time passed day by day in Cultivate.
That Profound Rank Flight Technique, “Purple Cloud Wings”, had already been mastered by Xiao Yan on the very first day he entered the valley.
His more powerful Soul Power prevented the remnant Soul of the Purple Cloud Eagle in the Flight Technique from causing any interference, allowing him to quickly master this Flight Technique.
Therefore, the rest of his time was spent learning that Earth Rank low-tier Dou Technique, “Flame Burst Fist”.
Yao Lao was puzzled as to where this boxing technique came from, but he did not ask.
He and Yao Lao were in a tacit understanding state, both hiding some of their own secrets.
It was just that Xiao Yan had read the original book and knew what Yao Lao was hiding, so he wasn’t curious at all.
On the other hand, Yao Lao was full of curiosity about the source of Xiao Yan’s Legacy.
Whether it was the Body Refining medicinal bath, the secret technique for purifying Bloodline, or this Earth Rank low-tier Dou Technique, he was eager to know.
However, as a teacher, since Xiao Yan did not take the initiative to ask about his privacy, how could he have the nerve to ask about Xiao Yan’s privacy?
To suppress his curiosity, Yao Lao simply put all his thoughts into Alchemy.
The previously gathered blood lotus essence and Ice Spirit Flame Grass, coupled with the supplementary materials long prepared in the storage ring, allowed him to refine another blood lotus pill.
A blood lotus pill was an absolute necessity for absorbing a Heavenly Flame.
Xiao Yan could not refine tier-5 Medicinal Pills, but Yao Lao could easily refine them, and he directly refined it out.
Thus, Xiao Yan now had two tier-5 blood lotus pills.
Coupled with the ice spirit cold spring that the Xiao Family had collected for him early on in his storage ring, Xiao Yan was now fully capable of absorbing two Heavenly Flames together if he were to encounter them.
However, this was just a thought.
How rare were Heavenly Flames!
Even Xiao Yan currently only knew the locations of those Heavenly Flames that appeared in the original story.
As for the Green Lotus Core Flame, once his plan in the Magical Beast Mountain Range was successfully achieved and his cultivation had made some progress, he would go straight to Medusa and forcibly snatch the Heavenly Flame over.
Otherwise, being overly opportunistic and relying too much on luck like in the original story—
He definitely did not want to gamble.
Therefore, accumulating sufficient gains in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and raising his own strength to a level where relying on Yao Lao’s possession would be enough to defeat Medusa was Xiao Yan’s goal.
Currently, he had made some progress.
Having spent over a month in the small valley,
Xiao Yan had already mastered the basics of “Flame Burst Fist”.
However, because his amount of Qi was insufficient, he could only use it three or four times in a single battle.
Fortunately, he had Yao Lao’s possession as his trump card.
When Yao Lao possessed him, all aspects of his abilities would receive a massive boost, allowing this Earth Rank Dou Technique to unleash its true power.
Aside from progress in Dou Techniques, Xiao Yan did not stop advancing in Alchemy and cultivation either.
Advancing from 7-star Dou Master to 8-star Dou Master was a matter of course.
In terms of Alchemy, his success rate in refining Medicinal Pills had improved a bit further; he was only short of a cultivation Breakthrough to advance to the next grade.
Conversely, his physical body and Soul Power did not see much improvement.
“Young Master Xiao, it’s time to eat, hurry over!” Xiao Yi Xian’s shout came from the small wooden house.
Xiao Yan, who was practicing Dou Techniques outside, stopped punching and returned to the small wooden house.
Sitting opposite Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan opened his mouth and said: “How is your study of Alchemy going?
Have you not given up yet?”
Xiao Yi Xian pouted: “Why do you bring up things I don’t like to hear as soon as you open your mouth?”
“I’ve already given up, are you satisfied now?”
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and said: “Don’t be angry, I didn’t mean it.”
“You clearly have extraordinary talent in poisoning, why must you deeply trap yourself in Alchemy?”
Xiao Yi Xian’s expression looked slightly depressed: “It’s just yearning, I suppose.”
“However, I suppose I’ve accepted my fate.”
“I simply don’t have the talent to be an Alchemist, sigh.”
Xiao Yan comforted her: “It’s fine.
Although you can’t do Alchemy, you can find me to refine them for you.”
“As good friends, I won’t require you to bring me three portions of medicinal herbs, and I won’t charge you a processing fee.
I’ll refine Medicinal Pills for you for free.”
Xiao Yi Xian felt a warmth in her heart: “Hehe, then I won’t be polite.”
The meal ended in cheerful conversation.
Xiao Yan walked out of the wooden house and looked in the direction of the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
He thought in his heart: “Judging by the passage of time, Yun Yun should be arriving at the Magical Beast Mountain Range soon, right?
I’ve been waiting until I’m getting a bit anxious.”
Suddenly.
Within Xiao Yan’s field of vision, in the sky deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, purple and light cyan radiances collided with each other.
“Finally waited for it!” Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up.
He spread his back, and the Purple Cloud Wings instantly opened.If you’re enjoying this novel, don’t forget to bookmark it and vote as much as you can!

Xiao Yi Xian walked out of the wooden house and was dumbheaded watching Xiao Yan suddenly fly away, only hearing a sentence left behind by Xiao Yan: “Going out on business, I’ll be back before long!”
