Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan’s impatience, and having been startled by Xiao Yan not long ago, he immediately spoke:
“Brat, the purple fire in your body formed directly and reached maturity after you swallowed so much accompanying purple crystal source.”
“However, do not think about absorbing it so quickly.”
“Although Beast Fire is inferior to Heavenly Flames, it is still a powerful flame.”
“Although your body is strong, this flame after all needs to circulate through the Meridians before it can be swallowed and absorbed by the Burning Technique.
When it comes to the Meridians, you cannot be careless.”
“Go back and refine some pulse-protecting pills first!”
Yao Lao’s tone was unquestionable, leaving Xiao Yan with nothing to say.
With his innate Fire Spirit Body, his affinity for flames was beyond reproach.
When he was a child, he roasted his hands over a fire without ever getting burned.
Now that he was absorbing the purple fire with the physique of a Tier 4 Magical Beast, what problems could there possibly be?
However, this was ultimately Yao Lao’s good intention and care, so Xiao Yan complied.
After wandering around the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Immortal Cave and confirming that there were no other treasures, Xiao Yan left with a hint of regret.
Demonic Beasts after all were not like humans; most of them did not have the habit of hoarding wealth, and most of their Legacy basically came from their Bloodline rather than written books.
Otherwise, if replaced by a human Dou Huang expert of the same level, Xiao Yan was certain he could rummage through plenty of good things.
Leaving the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Immortal Cave.
Xiao Yan flapped his Purple Cloud Wings and quickly flew back into the small valley.
With this trip back and forth, plus absorbing the accompanying purple crystal source inside the Immortal Cave, a lot of time had been consumed.
When he returned, the sky had already grown dark.
Landing in the clearing of the small valley, as soon as Xiao Yan returned, he saw Yun Yun walking outside, supported by Xiao Yi Xian.
He retracted his wings, landed, and walked towards the two women,
and asked: “Your injuries are not fully healed yet, why are you already starting to move around?”
Xiao Yi Xian smiled helplessly: “She said she is not that weak, and wants to recover as quickly as possible to fulfill the requirement of serving at your beck and call for a month.
I had no choice, so it had to be like this.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan said indifferently: “Then let her be.
The Tier 3 Medicinal Pill I fed her has very good effects.
If she moves around more, it can indeed accelerate the absorption of the medicinal power and promote the recovery of her injuries.”
Speaking of this, he cared for Xiao Yi Xian and said: “She is willing to suffer from the cold and exhaustion outside, what are you doing accompanying her?”
“Hurry up and go inside the house to rest, leave her alone.”
Being cared for by Xiao Yan without any avoidance in front of an outsider, Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, and her face quickly turned red: “I know, Young Master Xiao.”
Yun Yun:…
Looking at the two people exuding a sweet and clingy aura, her beautiful eyes rolled, full of charm.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Yan caught a glimpse and silently licked his slightly dry lips.
Since childhood, he had been in contact with Xiao Xun Er, so his resistance to beauties was not low.
But towards a woman like Yun Yun, who was fully developed and exuded a mature woman’s aura all over her body, he really was not quite used to it.
He always felt that a mature woman like Yun Yun was clingy~
And those two soft mounds on her body, why did every time he looked over, they gave off a trembling feeling?
Yun Yun suddenly moved, turning her slightly flushed cheeks away, her jade-like arms crossed over her chest, shielding something.
“Young Master Xiao——!” Xiao Yi Xian pouted slightly and said.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, quickly withdrew his peripheral vision, and changed the subject: “Xiao Yi Xian, you go back to the house to sleep first.
I am preparing to refine a few Medicinal Pills, so I will not rest yet.”
“Alright then.” Xiao Yi Xian did not know why she was angry, and walked towards the wooden house with a bit of slight depression.
Yun Yun at the side, upon hearing Xiao Yan’s words, showed a look of surprise in her eyes: “You are an Alchemist?”
Xiao Yan nodded: “Genuine and without a doubt.”
Yun Yun’s mouth opened slightly, and brilliant colors flashed continuously in her eyes.
Observing Xiao Yan’s youthful appearance, he was clearly not even 20 years old.
Not only was his cultivation powerful, but he was also an Alchemist?
With such natural talent, a second person could not be picked out in the entire Jia Ma Empire.
Oh right, if speaking only of cultivation, perhaps her good Disciple’s former fiancé could barely compare.
Wait, her Disciple’s former fiancé was called Xiao Yan, and the youth in front of her was called Young Master Xiao by Xiao Yi Xian…
Could this Young Master Xiao be Xiao Yan?
Yun Yun felt an itch in her heart that she could not scratch, and immediately asked: “Young Master Xiao, could you tell me your name?”
Xiao Yan frowned imperceptibly and said casually: “There is nothing to hide, my name is Xiao Huo.”
“Xiao Huo?” Yun Yun showed a puzzled expression and pursued: “Are you from the Xiao Family of Wutan City?”
Xiao Yan put on a puzzled expression: “What Xiao Family, I am from the Black-Corner Region.”
After saying this, Xiao Yan directly changed the subject: “Right, what is your name?”
Yun Yun hesitated slightly before saying: “Yun Zhi.”
Having stated her fake name, Yun Yun was embarrassed to continue asking, even though she still had doubts in her heart, after all, Xiao Huo and Xiao Yan were too similar.
The only thing that made her dare not jump to a conclusion was that this Xiao Huo’s strength was too terrifying, having already had the ability to kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and he was also an Alchemist.
No matter how terrifying Xiao Yan’s natural talent was in the past, it had not reached this kind of level.
Just as Yun Yun was letting her imagination run wild, Xiao Yan had already taken out the medicinal herbs and cauldron from his storage ring, and began to refine the Tier 2 Medicinal Pill, the pulse-protecting pill.
Seeing this, Yun Yun stopped moving her body, found a stone not far away, and sat down heavily on it, her buttocks trembling slightly.
She watched Xiao Yan doing Alchemy from afar, wanting to see what level Xiao Yan’s Alchemy skills were at.
However, as she watched on, she no longer looked at Xiao Yan’s Alchemy with an examining gaze.
Xiao Yan’s Alchemy skills were inherited from Yao Lao, and his foundational skills were laid extremely solidly.
Coupled with his innate Fire Spirit Body and maxed-out Soul talent, it could be said that the three key points of an Alchemist—
flame control, Soul perception, and Alchemy techniques—were all top-tier for him.
The combination of the three made his Alchemy extremely smooth and unrestrained; casually picking a medicinal herb and putting it into the Medicine Cauldron, he refined the essence inside out in the blink of an eye.
A focused man is the most charming.
Xiao Yan at this moment was in this state.
Being wholly focused on Alchemy, that confident and unrestrained daring made Yun Yun, who usually carried the burdens of the Cloud Mist Sect, yearn for it, and she was infatuated for a moment.
Until several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, when the sky was about to brighten, this Alchemy session finally ended.
Xiao Yan gently wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead and grinned: “Phew, after refining so many, it is finally finished.”
In the distance, Yun Yun slowly recovered her wits, looked at the large pile of jade bottles placed beside Xiao Yan, and asked: “What Medicinal Pills have you refined?”
Seeming to feel that this was somewhat improper, she added: “It is just a little curiosity of mine, if you are unwilling to tell me, then forget it.”
Xiao Yan was in a good mood at this moment, so he did not hide it and pointed to the various jade bottles one by one, saying: “Tier 2 Medicinal Pill, pulse-protecting pill, to protect the Meridians.
Tier 2 Medicinal Pill, ice-heart pill, to keep the Soul awake.
Tier 3 Medicinal Pill, waking-spirit pill, after swallowing it during the Cultivate state, makes one more sensitive to the heaven and earth energy induction, accelerating the Cultivate speed.”
“Tier 3 Medicinal Pill…
You are a Tier 3 Alchemist?” Yun Yun was shocked in her heart, and at the same time determined that Xiao Huo was definitely not Xiao Yan.
How could anyone be at Dou Zhi Qi Stage Eight two years ago, and two years later possess Dou Wang strength, while also becoming a Tier 3 Alchemist?
No, looking at Xiao Huo’s effortless appearance during Alchemy, even Tier 3 Medicinal Pills did not pose much difficulty.
There is a high probability he is a Tier 4 Alchemist!
Xiao Yan ignored Yun Yun’s shock, put the waking-spirit pill into the storage ring, and left the pulse-protecting pill and ice-heart pill outside, preparing to immediately go absorb the purple fire within his body.
Once he mastered the purple fire, relying on the might of the flame, he might just be able to barely refine a Tier 5 Medicinal Pill with Great Dou Master cultivation!
