Chapter 45 Challenge Mystic Rank Trial: The best way to deal with poisonous insects is to use fire.
Although Xiao Yan cannot directly materialize Dou Qi flames yet, and needs the help of a Pill Furnace and Magic Core to ignite the furnace fire, no matter what, an Alchemist's skills are still Xiao Yan's own abilities.
With a *boom*, Xiao Yan suddenly opened the lid, and the Tier 2 Fire Attribute Magic Core, completely ignited by the Dou Qi flames, erupted with terrifying flames.
Xiao Yan used his Soul power to control the flames, transforming them into a fire dragon that rushed towards the densely packed poisonous insects.
Seeing the fire dragon pouncing, Zhang Chuanwu laughed instead of being alarmed. He had seen too many Alchemist's furnace fires. Although he couldn't refine pills, he also had a Pill Furnace, but it was used for refining poison.
"Furnace fire? Indeed, poisonous insects fear the most yang things and are afraid of flames. But my poisonous insects have been refined by the Poison Insect Method, and after three generations of derivation and evolution in my body, all the poisonous insects already have a layer of poisonous gas gauze for protection. How could the furnace fire of a mere Tier 2 Magic Core possibly hurt my poisonous insects!"
Pfft! The fire dragon opened its mouth and 'swallowed' all the poisonous insects in one gulp. The fire dragon coiled in the air, like a ball of fire enveloping countless poisonous insects.
Buzz buzz buzz! Strangely, the poisonous insects were still moving freely in the fireball, as if they were not afraid of the flames at all.
Xiao Yan shook his head, placed his hands on the fire opening of the Pill Furnace, and said calmly, "Unfortunately, the flames I possess are not ordinary flames. Although there are only a few wisps, they are, after all, Bone Spirit Cold Flame. It's more than enough to deal with these poisonous insects."
A few wisps of pale white Bone Spirit Cold Flame condensed into a white long needle. This move of Xiao Yan's was exactly the 'threading the needle to control fire' that Hun Xuzi used when refining Poison Pills and refining medicinal materials! With just one glance, Xiao Yan firmly remembered the technique and successfully learned it! When the Poison Water Ants saw the pale white Strange Flame long needle appearing from the fire dragon, all the Poison Water Ants were startled and turned around to flee, obviously very afraid of the needle and thread made of Strange Flame.
One must know that this is Strange Flame! And it's the Strange Flame ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame Ranking List! Strange Flame is the most yang thing in the Dou Qi Continent, and the Strange Flame born from heaven and earth is the nemesis of all poisons!
Indeed, the Poison Water Ants, which had been fed by Zhang Chuanwu's poisonous Dou Qi for many years, were not afraid of ordinary Alchemist's furnace fire, let alone the fact that Xiao Yan's cultivation was lower than his, but encountering Strange Flame was like encountering a natural nemesis.
Even if Zhang Chuanwu was a Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master), and the poisonous insects were twice as strong, once they were touched by Strange Flame, they would only have one way to die.
Shu shu shu!!! Under the threading of the needle of Strange Flame, all the poisonous insects could not resist at all. What poisonous Dou Qi gauze was just floating clouds. Even Hun Xuzi praised Xiao Yan's Soul power. To be born with such Soul power without acquired training could definitely be called a natural Alchemist.
That fire dragon was just a layer of seal to prevent the poisonous insects from escaping. The real killing move was the Strange Flame needle composed of a few wisps of Bone Spirit Cold Flame!
"Come back!!" Zhang Chuanwu's heart was bleeding. Those were the poisonous insects he had cultivated! When Zhang Chuanwu dragged his seriously injured body towards Xiao Yan, intending to attack, all the poisonous insects had already been annihilated by the Strange Flame needle controlled by Xiao Yan, leaving not a single one behind.
Seeing the poisonous insects turned to ashes, Zhang Chuanwu's face was filled with despair, his heart as dead as ashes. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he actually lost his will to live and died!
Originally, if Zhang Chuanwu was not a poison master and had cultivated a Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Method and Dou Technique, Xiao Yan might not have been able to win.
But Zhang Chuanwu happened to be a poison master who cultivated poisonous insects, and Xiao Yan was a Tier 2 Alchemist with extremely strong Soul power, plus some Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which could be said to completely counter Zhang Chuanwu.
For others, a poison master who was extremely troublesome and dangerous, did not have much effect on Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan approached Zhang Chuanwu's corpse, he discovered that his internal organs were already empty! Zhang Chuanwu, who had lost all his poisonous insects, was destined to die.
"It seems that he was looking for a way to save his life in the Soul Palace, so he participated in the trial."
There is no doubt that the poison master is a profession that hurts the enemy by a thousand and damages oneself by eight hundred. It is indeed strong, but it is too cruel to oneself.
[Completed all Yellow Rank High-Level Trials, bestowed the title of Yellow Rank High-Level Soul Envoy, you can choose to exit the trial field and enter the Treasure Hall to use Soul Points to exchange for resources, or you can continue to advance to the Mystic Rank Trial.]
Xiao Yan listened to the Soul sound that directly entered his Soul, his expression solemn.
"Mystic Rank. From the perspective of Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, the gap between Mystic Rank and Yellow Rank is like a chasm."
Although Xiao Yan only fought two battles in the Yellow Rank High-Level Trial, both battles could be said to be full of surprises and dangers.
In these two battles, Xiao Yan was no longer fighting entirely by brute force. He also needed some wisdom, strategy, and luck to win relatively easily.
Xiao Yan checked the Soul Token, and the words on it naturally changed to [Yellow Rank High-Level], and the Soul Points were exactly one hundred.
"One hundred Soul Points can just exchange for a Yellow Rank High-Level Cultivation Method or Dou Technique."
"If I can pass all the way from Mystic Low-Rank to Mystic High-Rank, then I should have exactly one thousand Soul Points, and I can exchange for a Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Method or Dou Technique."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Mystic High-Rank? He might not even be able to defeat his opponent in the Mystic Low-Rank Trial.
Mystic High-Rank is likely to be a Tier 3 Magical Beast! A Tier 3 Magical Beast can slap Xiao Yan into meat paste with one paw! His father, Xiao Zhan, might not be able to defeat a Tier 3 Magical Beast, let alone him, a small Dou Zhe (neutral).
But soon Xiao Yan smiled in relief and muttered confidently, "If I can't even get a Mystic Rank evaluation, what face do I have to go back and see Xun Er (feminine)."
However, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry. After he took a Qi Recovery Pill to restore his Dou Qi, he re-ignited the Pill Furnace, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the Pill Furnace. The furnace fire slowly decomposed the blood.
He is still poisoned.
"To refine an antidote pill, you must first know the ingredients of the Poison Pill and what toxins it contains."
The poison was absorbed by Xiao Yan, so to refine an antidote pill, he had to analyze the toxic components in the venom and then use the effects of medicinal materials to remove the toxins.
Strictly speaking, this was Xiao Yan's first time detoxifying. The last time with Hun Xuzi was not a formal detoxification in the true sense, but more like a brain teaser.
After a day and night of deciphering, Xiao Yan finally found the medicinal materials that could purify the toxins, refined an antidote pill, and removed the toxins from his body.
"It actually took a whole day to detoxify, killing is easy but saving people is hard, poisoning is easy but detoxifying is hard."
Xiao Yan complained, then realized it was as quiet as a graveyard around him, making him seem rather foolish.
"I've been in this training ground for quite some time, it's time to end it. Challenge the Mystic Rank trial!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound rang out, and a large door suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yan. Unlike the previous teleportation portals, this time the door was very real.
"As expected of the Mystic Rank, even the door is different." Xiao Yan muttered to himself as he walked into the door.
...
In the Soul Realm within the void, in a remote city's training ground, thousands of young people were training their Dou Techniques.
The instructor in the field suddenly received a Soul transmission and pointed at a boy at random, saying, "Hun Yucun, someone from the outside has applied for the Mystic Rank advancement challenge trial, go and take care of it."
Hearing the instructor's words, all the Soul Clan disciples in the field revealed envious and jealous expressions. How could such a good thing as obtaining Soul Points not fall on their heads! "Yucun, you're so lucky. Advancing to the Mystic Rank requires one hundred Soul Points. Isn't dealing with those outsiders practically a freebie?"
The Soul Clan disciple called Hun Yucun's eyes flashed fiercely, and he licked his lips, saying, "What I like most is hunting down these ignorant outsiders. My collection is about to gain another addition."
