Is a Tragedy (Mid-Autumn Festival Bonus)

Xiao Yan knew that Strange Flames and Strange Flames could not coexist. Therefore, to possess three Strange Flames simultaneously, one would need the Burning Art unless their fire control reached an unbelievable level.

However, Xiao Yan still doubted that even with such fire control and three Strange Flames, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations could reach the Heaven Rank high level.

In Xiao Yan's judgment, even the complete Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations would only reach Earth Rank high level at best with the effects produced by this secret technique.

"Forget it, no need to think so much. It's already a great gain to find a secret technique suitable for me. Let's talk about these things later."

This Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations could be said to be tailor-made for Xiao Yan. The cultivation of the secret technique required powerful flames and terrifying fire control, and Xiao Yan had nothing impressive except for the Strange Flames and the fire control brought by the Burning Art, which were invincible.

Soon, Xiao Yan mastered the method of using the secret technique.

"Using the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame Dou Qi with the greatest power can temporarily increase my strength by four stars, reaching the level of an eight-star Da Dou Shi. If I use the fused Strange Flames, it should be comparable to a Dou Ling's cultivation."

Xiao Yan's whole body emitted a roaring azure flame, and even his eyes turned azure. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations not only strengthened his Dou Qi but also brought the power of the Strange Flame to the extreme.

It gave Xiao Yan the illusion that the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was tailor-made for the Strange Flame, a Dou Technique belonging to the Strange Flame.

The only problem was that when using it, his body's meridians would experience a tearing pain, and this severe pain would become even more intense once the secret technique ended. If he used the fused Strange Flames to perform the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, the pain would be even more severe.

Retracting the Strange Flame and pushing open the door, Xiao Yan took a deep breath of fresh air and moved his body to alleviate the pain.

"Just a slight experiment has such a painful sensation. If it's really fully unleashed in battle, I'm afraid it won't be easy to bear." Even with his body strengthened by the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, Xiao Yan still felt the pain, which showed how strong the side effects of this secret technique were.

Having taken only a few steps, Xiao Yan's glancing eyes suddenly froze on the figures of a man and a woman slowly walking towards him.

That beautiful figure was naturally Nalan Yanran, and the other was a man wearing an Alchemist robe with a Tier 3 Alchemist Badge on it.

The man was also quite young, with a tall and straight figure, looking no more than twenty-something. His handsome face had lines as if carved by a knife, revealing a hint of femininity.

Nalan Yanran naturally saw Xiao Yan not far away, and her footsteps also stopped in place, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Xiao Yan touched his nose. The woman not far away was, for the time being, still his fiancée, and she was now accompanied by a man of similar age.

And he had just bumped into them.

This scene was truly amazing.

Some servants saw this scene and covered their mouths and ran away. Needless to say, all kinds of versions would spread throughout the Nalan Mansion soon.

"Cough, I just came out for some fresh air, don't mind me," Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.

Nalan Yanran pointed to the man beside her and said, "This is a friend of mine, Liu Ling. He is also an Alchemist. He came to visit Grandpa's health on the orders of Elder Gu He. Elder Gu He is his teacher."

Then, Nalan Yanran introduced to Liu Ling with a strange expression, "This is... uh, Xiao Yan."

Liu Ling, who had been smiling, had his eyes narrowed and the smile on his face disappeared when he heard the name Xiao Yan. He sized Xiao Yan up and down and said, "You are that Xiao Yan?"

Obviously, Liu Ling had heard of Xiao Yan's name long ago.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. "Xiao Yan at your service, what can I do for you?"

Liu Ling's smile faded, and he walked towards Xiao Yan step by step, his eyes even carrying a hint of fighting intent! "Hello, I am Liu Ling." Liu Ling stretched out his hand and said to Xiao Yan.

"Hello, Xiao Yan." He stretched out his hand and shook the other's hand.

To be able to reach Tier 3 Alchemist at such an age, there was no doubt that his talent must be very high. Of course, this depended on who he was compared to, and a reference was needed.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to be able to expel the Branding Poison for the old man at such a young age. It's really amazing. My teacher also came to see it, but he couldn't do anything about it. Hehe, I suppose Mr. Xiao Yan possesses the legendary Strange Flame?" Liu Ling changed the subject and said with a smile.

No way, are there still Alchemists who don't have Strange Flames? I have four, do you want me to give you one? Of course, Xiao Yan would definitely not say that. He said calmly, "Just a fluke, nothing worth mentioning."

Xiao Yan retracted his hand, cupped his fist and said, "You guys chat, I have something to do."

After saying that, Xiao Yan walked straight towards the Courtyard, gradually disappearing from sight in the sight of Nalan Yanran and the other.

"Yanran, does he really possess a Strange Flame?" Looking at the disappearing Xiao Yan, Liu Ling couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, and his Alchemy skills are probably not inferior to yours. The Third Grade Pill Blood Replenishing Pill he refined was praised by the Alchemists in the family. In Alchemy, he is the only peer I have seen in so many years who might be able to surpass you, oh no, he is a few years younger than you."

Nalan Yanran then remembered that Xiao Yan was the same age as her, while Liu Ling was already twenty-four. Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yan's Alchemy talent was truly the best in the history of the Gama Empire.

Frowning slightly and looking at Nalan Yanran, Liu Ling clenched his fists slightly unconsciously. Although what Nalan Yanran said was all the truth, in Liu Ling's ears, it became praise for Xiao Yan.

Moreover, he knew that Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan still had a marriage contract. Although Nalan Yanran had always said in Yunlan Sect that she wanted to break off the engagement, the Nalan Family had always been against it.

How sour!

It's just that his grandfather is not Xiao Lin!

"Will he also participate in the Alchemist Convention?" Liu Ling asked, his eyes sharply fixed on the direction where Xiao Yan had disappeared.

"I heard from Grandpa that he will participate in the convention's internal test," Nalan Yanran said, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her forehead with her slender hand.

Hearing this, Liu Ling looked at Nalan Yanran with a hint of ardor in his eyes, and said, "Yanran, if I can defeat him in the Alchemist Convention, I hope you can..."

Before Liu Ling could finish speaking, Nalan Yanran stopped him with a look.

"You should know that I don't want to talk about these things right now. I won't deny that you are indeed very outstanding now, but that still hasn't met my requirements. The man of Nalan Yanran must be no ordinary person." After saying this, Nalan Yanran's mind flashed back to that scene three years ago for some reason, when that man shattered all her pride with one punch.

"Even so, I will prove that I am stronger than him!" Liu Ling said with confidence, a fanatical glint in his eyes. As the future helmsman of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran's status in the Gama Empire was almost nobler than that of the empire's princess. With the pride in Liu Ling's heart, he naturally needed to conquer such a woman in order to prove his excellence.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran just smiled indifferently. She didn't linger, and with a slight movement of her lotus-like steps, she walked towards the main hall.

Seeing Liu Ling now, she couldn't help but think of herself three years ago. She was just as confident back then.

As a result, Xiao Yan became her nightmare, an insurmountable mountain. Not just her mountain, Nalan Yanran could see that he would soon become Liu Ling's nightmare as well.

"Perhaps being born in the same era as him is destined to be a tragedy."
