Xiao Yan walked out of the cave, and a burst of dazzling sunlight poured down, turning the entire Beast Tomb Canyon into an ice valley.
The freezing effect of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, relying solely on sunlight and without any external force, might take one or two years for these solid ice formations to melt.
"Surprisingly, no Magical Beasts have come to investigate?" Xiao Yan asked curiously, looking at the empty surroundings.
"Those Beast Emperors heard that the Alchemist Yao Ao from back then has been resurrected, and these ice formations are all caused by Strange Flames. They've all been scared back; who would dare to enter?"
"What about the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame?"
"They don't know yet, but once that Seventh-Order Magical Beast awakens, it should enter the underground. By then, it will discover that the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame is gone."
Xiao Yan shrugged. Whatever will be, will be. Anyway, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame is with me now. He stopped worrying unnecessarily, identified the direction, and flew straight towards the Small Mountain Valley.
After obtaining the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame and upgrading the Burning Jue to Mystic High-Rank, the Dou Qi consumption for Xiao Yan to use Eagle's Wings is now very small. Moreover, even if he uses the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame to accelerate, he can last for quite a while.
Xiao Yan followed behind the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, flipped his palm, and a ball of black-red flame appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. This flame was neither the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame nor the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire, but a special flame formed by the fusion of the two.
With a swipe of his finger, the black-red flame in Xiao Yan's palm split into two, separating the Black Flame and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.
Correctly speaking, Xiao Yan now possesses three types of flames. The weakest in power for the time being is the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire, followed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, and finally the new Strange Flame formed by the fusion of the two.
"Who exactly invented this Burning Jue? Originally, Strange Flames were so violent that they would explode with a single touch, but now they can actually be fused together." Xiao Yan hadn't forgotten the Bone Spirit Cold Flame's explosion, but the Burning Jue can actually fuse Strange Flames and even separate them at any time!
It's just that the Dou Qi required to use this fused Strange Flame is terrifyingly high.
Soon, Xiao Yan and the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King returned to the Small Mountain Valley. Seeing Xiao Yan's safe return, Little Fairy Doctor's suspended heart completely relaxed.
Two days ago, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King had returned and told Little Fairy Doctor about the situation, saying that Xiao Yan was cultivating and would return in a few days. But only when she actually saw Xiao Yan did Little Fairy Doctor feel relieved.
With a whoosh, a ball of blood-red flame emerged from Xiao Yan's palm. Within the flame, it seemed as if ten thousand beasts were galloping, emitting bursts of roars.
"Fortunately, I didn't fail my mission. Now, I'm one step closer." Xiao Yan walked up to Little Fairy Doctor, happily showing off his harvest this time.
With this, only one of the three Strange Flames for the Poison Pill remains. Once he collects the Magic Core and the main medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yan can start refining the Poison Pill after reaching Seventh Grade Alchemist.
Seeing Xiao Yan's bright smile, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't smile. Because two days ago, she had heard the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King roughly describe what had happened.
Even though it was said very vaguely, with only a few sentences, Little Fairy Doctor was covered in cold sweat. Seven-Star Dou Huang, the Soul Body of a Seventh Grade Alchemist, refining Strange Flames! For a Dou Shi (Battle Master), being caught by any one of these would result in instant death! "I'm not in a hurry. I haven't consumed any poison these days. You can wait until you reach Seventh Grade before looking for the Strange Flame; it's not too late," Little Fairy Doctor said worriedly.
Regardless of whether Xiao Yan was obtaining the Strange Flame for himself or for the Poison Pill promise, this favor was so great that Little Fairy Doctor didn't know how to repay it.
"Hahaha, it's okay; I need the Strange Flame myself too. Is the food cooked? It's been a while since I had your Hundred Herbs Medicinal Soup. Here are some medicinal herbs; see if there's anything you need." Xiao Yan took out a Storage Ring, which was Yao Li's Storage Ring. Although the pills were all used up, there were still many precious medicinal herbs inside.
Not looting after killing an enemy is against the natural order.
The moment she saw the precious medicinal herbs, Little Fairy Doctor's Apothecary Soul immediately ignited enthusiastically. She hurriedly walked forward and began to identify and select them.
...
Soon, three days passed. These days, besides refining Fourth Grade Pills, Xiao Yan was familiarizing himself with the Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master) realm. After cultivating, he would eat the food and soup cooked by Little Fairy Doctor, which was also a great pleasure.
"That Magical Beast has awakened. It's time for us to leave. If it discovers that the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame has fallen into your hands, it might cause unnecessary trouble." Suddenly, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King raised its head and looked towards the direction of the Beast Tomb, saying in a deep voice.
Xiao Yan also knew that he couldn't explain taking someone else's treasure, and the Eight-Winged Flame Devil Tiger was already dead, so even the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King might be in trouble.
Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor had also prepared to leave long ago. They picked many medicinal herbs in the Small Mountain Valley, and Xiao Yan also gave Yao Li's Storage Ring to Little Fairy Doctor.
"I will go to the Chuyun Empire with her," the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King suddenly said in a deep voice.
!!?
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he said with a hint of displeasure, "Lion King, what do you mean by this?"
Having witnessed Xiao Yan's power, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's attitude was no longer as tough as before, but it didn't back down, saying, "You have already obtained the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame. There must be a guarantee for our agreement."
Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand with a smile and said, "For the sake of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, the Magical Beast Mountain Range probably can't accommodate the Lion King anymore. I also agreed to let it travel with me. Moreover, I believe you will definitely reach Seventh Grade Alchemist."
Xiao Yan sighed and said with a helpless expression, "Lion King, you should know that Little Fairy Doctor is not a hostage."
"I won't let anything happen to her."
Hearing the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's promise, Xiao Yan nodded, took out three pill bottles from the Storage Ring, two of which were for Little Fairy Doctor, and said, "Inside here is a Fourth Grade healing pill, and another one is a Poison Pill, for you to use in case of emergency."
Little Fairy Doctor knew what Xiao Yan meant and accepted them without being pretentious.
"Lion King, inside here is a pill refined with the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame. There is some refined Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame inside, which can help Little Blue break through to Fifth-Order better."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King was also stunned. It didn't expect Xiao Yan to have prepared such a pill! Xiao Yan also anticipated that the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King would follow Little Fairy Doctor to prevent him from going back on his word.
After accepting the pills, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King said seriously, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry."
Xiao Yan didn't say anything more. With the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King around, Little Fairy Doctor's personal safety was at least somewhat guaranteed. Moreover, as long as Xiao Yan didn't die and could refine a Transformation Pill, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King wouldn't attack Little Fairy Doctor.
"If anything happens, you can find me at the Xiao Clan in Wutan City or Canaan Academy."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded, sat on Little Blue's back, and with a loud eagle's cry, soared towards the western sky.
Sitting on Little Blue, Little Fairy Doctor turned her head, waved at Xiao Yan, and shouted, "If you want to find me, come back to this Small Mountain Valley."
Watching Little Fairy Doctor leave, Xiao Yan simply saw her off.
Once Little Fairy Doctor had completely left, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Sir, you've been following me for quite some time now. May I ask what your purpose is?"
Xiao Yan stared at a patch of shadow in the Small Mountain Valley. If Xiao Yan's Soul Power hadn't reached the late Mortal Realm and he hadn't cultivated the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art, he wouldn't have noticed that someone had been following him all along!
Xiao Yan had noticed someone tailing him when he came out of the Beast Tomb.
With a hum, an old man appeared from the shadows, sighing, "Truly, a hero emerges at a young age. No wonder you're the person Miss Xun Er has taken a liking to."
"Miss? Who are you?" Xiao Yan had a slight guess in his mind.
"My name is Ling Ying. I'm sent by Miss Xun Er to secretly protect Young Master Xiao Yan," the old man said respectfully.
His heart jolted. Xun Er's identity was truly not simple, sending such a person to protect him! Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Alright, you go back and protect Xun Er. I don't want anyone following me."
Xiao Yan was here to train. If he had a strong person following him, he would develop a dependent mentality.
Ling Ying was about to cry. Some time ago, Xun Er used a strange excuse to have him search around the Gama Empire for traces of a Dou Di relic, clearly not wanting to return to the clan, and then, after he couldn't find anything, she sent him to protect Xiao Yan.
If you don't want to go back to the clan, don't torment me!
As a result, he had just found Xiao Yan's whereabouts, followed him for a few days, and was discovered! He had lost all face.
He still couldn't understand how Xiao Yan's Soul perception was so strong! He was only eighteen years old!
Ling Ying wanted to say something, but after seeing Xiao Yan's expression, he swallowed his words, raised his hand, and said, "Yes, I will report back to Miss Xun Er now."
"Ahem, about the matter of this Small Mountain Valley, don't go blabbing about it," Xiao Yan said, touching his nose.
"Uh... I'll try to say as little as possible."
