How Could I Be So Embarrassed!
"Jia, old man, what is it this time that you've awakened me for? I've already said, my current state is greatly diminished, I can't help with much, and I don't even have the strength of a Dou Huang anymore." As soon as the Nethersea Flood Dragon appeared, its thunderous voice, filled with a hint of dissatisfaction, echoed across the lake.
Like the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, the Nethersea Flood Dragon also understood human speech and possessed a certain level of intelligence.
Jia Xing Tian, standing above the lake, raised his head and smiled at the Nethersea Flood Dragon, saying, "Old fellow, I'm not disturbing you for nothing. This here is Master Xiao Yan, an Alchemist who possesses a Strange Flame; he might be able to help you."
"Hmm? An Alchemist with a Strange Flame?" Having lived for so long, the Nethersea Flood Dragon naturally knew what a Strange Flame meant; an Alchemist with a Strange Flame was definitely incredibly powerful.
"This kid? A Rank 6 Alchemist?" Following the direction Jia Xing Tian pointed, the Nethersea Flood Dragon saw Xiao Yan smiling at it, and was immediately puzzled.
After all, how old was Xiao Yan? The Primal Bone Forming Pill was a Sixth Grade pill, and even with a Strange Flame, it shouldn't be possible for such a young child to refine a Sixth Grade pill.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Junior Xiao Yan, eighteen years old this year, barely considered a Rank 5 Alchemist."
"Eighteen years old! Fifth Grade?!!!" Hearing Xiao Yan's words, even the long-lived Nethersea Flood Dragon was shocked, completely unable to believe that an eighteen-year-old youth was already a Rank 5 Alchemist!
This was too exaggerated! Yao Ye asked, "Master Xiao Yan, we would like you to see if there are any other ways to treat the Nethersea Flood Dragon's old injuries besides the Primal Bone Forming Pill."
Guild Leader Fa Ma had naturally already come to see, and his suggestion was to use the Sixth Grade Primal Bone Forming Pill. However, the only person in the entire Gama Empire capable of refining Sixth Grade pills was Gu He, and Gu He was an elder of the Yunlan Sect, so naturally, he wouldn't refine pills for the royal family to restore the Nethersea Flood Dragon's strength.
That's why Yao Ye planned to invite Xiao Yan to see if there were any other solutions besides the Primal Bone Forming Pill.
Xiao Yan nodded, and his terrifying Soul power of the late Mortal Realm erupted from his body, instantly causing ripples across the entire lake surface.
"Such terrifying Soul power!"
"How do I feel like this Soul power is even stronger than Guild Leader Fa Ma's!"
The powerful Soul power penetrated the Nethersea Flood Dragon's entire body, constantly diagnosing it.
The incredibly terrifying Soul power slowly scanned, thoroughly investigating all the Nethersea Flood Dragon's hidden injuries and problems.
But the more he investigated, the more Xiao Yan frowned.
"How is it, Master Xiao Yan?" Yao Ye asked nervously.
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "There's no other way. The Nethersea Flood Dragon has been in battle for many years, leaving too many old injuries on its body. Some of these injuries have even affected its own bloodline, causing problems with the Flood Dragon bloodline within it. To completely restore the Nethersea Flood Dragon's power, the only option is indeed the Primal Bone Forming Pill."
Yao Ye and Jia Xing Tian both sighed inwardly. Ten years ago, when they sought out Fa Ma, they received the same answer, and even went to the extent of using a large amount of manpower and resources to exchange for the Primal Bone Forming Pill Pill Recipe from a higher-level Alchemist Guild.
"Yao Ye will be so bold as to ask, how long would it take for Master Xiao Yan to reach Sixth Grade?" Yao Ye asked.
"Sixth Grade? Two years, perhaps." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment before shrugging.
"Is that so, two years... Hmm?! Two years!!" Yao Ye suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Yan, thinking she had misheard!
Jia Xing Tian and the Nethersea Flood Dragon also stared intently at Xiao Yan with surprised expressions, wondering if Xiao Yan had made a mistake! You had to know that Fa Ma had been at the peak of Fifth Grade for many years, and the champions of the Alchemist Convention weren't just Xiao Yan and Gu He, but in all these years, only Gu He had reached the level of a Rank 6 Alchemist.
Two years to go from just entering Fifth Grade to Sixth Grade!!?
Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, indicating that he had not misspoke.
In fact, Xiao Yan was exaggerating the time. For Alchemists, improving their fire control and Soul power was the most troublesome thing. For Fa Ma, the improvement of his Soul power over the years was as slow as a snail's pace.
But Xiao Yan was different; his Soul power and fire control had already reached Sixth Grade! What he lacked was experience and time in Pill Refining.
Xiao Yan had now obtained a large number of Fifth Grade Medicinal Herbs, so reaching the peak of Fifth Grade was no problem at all, but for Sixth Grade, he needed to collect Sixth Grade Medicinal Herbs again.
If he had enough Medicinal Herbs, Xiao Yan even felt that he could reach Sixth Grade within half a year and be able to refine the Primal Bone Forming Pill! "Master Xiao Yan, if possible, please allow the royal family to provide you with the Medicinal Herbs you need for Pill Refining," Yao Ye suddenly grabbed Xiao Yan's hands, her eyes pleading.
Feeling the slightly cold jade hands and the pleading gaze, Xiao Yan simply smiled and withdrew his hands.
"I'm sorry, Princess Yao Ye, Xiao Yan is afraid that he will have to leave Gama Holy City in two months and return to Canaan Academy to continue his studies. The purpose of this trip to Gama Holy City was just to fulfill some agreements." Xiao Yan was neither arrogant nor humble, and was not blinded by the benefits before him or the pleading gaze of the beauty.
He couldn't be like Gu He, joining a certain force. Because Xiao Yan wasn't a complete Alchemist; Pill Refining was just one of his auxiliary skills, and he would continue to cultivate and become stronger.
Strange Flames, Xiao Yan couldn't possibly have too many, and the Burning Art hadn't evolved to its limit.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Princess Yao Ye's beautiful eyes immediately dimmed, and she glanced at Xiao Yan helplessly, saying, "I really want to lock Master Xiao Yan up in the palace."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled wryly and said, "Although I can't treat the Nethersea Flood Dragon's injuries, I can help control them, preventing them from erupting within three years. In three years, perhaps Guild Leader Fa Ma will be able to break through to Sixth Grade."
The Nethersea Flood Dragon exclaimed, "You can control my injuries and prevent them from continuing to worsen?!"
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, slowly extending his palm, and with a whoosh, a ball of blood-red flames instantly spewed out from his palm.
The Nethersea Flood Dragon, which originally hated flames, looked strangely at the blood-red flames in Xiao Yan's palm and said, "Huh? Why don't I hate these flames at all? Instead, I feel a little sense of familiarity?"
"This is the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, one of the Strange Flames. It can strengthen a Magical Beast's physical body and activate its bloodline, so it should be quite appealing to Magical Beasts."
Xiao Yan spread his Eagle's Wings and slowly flew to the Nethersea Flood Dragon's head, saying, "I'll let the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame enter your body in a moment to help stabilize your bloodline and eliminate some of the জমাট blood. This way, your injuries won't worsen within three years."
Xiao Yan had done this kind of Strange Flame-assisted healing several times, so he was quite familiar with it. The healing process went smoothly without any unexpected events.
"Comfortable, kid, you're quite skilled!" The Nethersea Flood Dragon looked relaxed, the pain in its body actually lessened a lot.
Seeing Xiao Yan's abilities, Yao Ye and Jia Xing Tian exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
Yao Ye took out a red scroll from her Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yan, saying, "Master Xiao Yan, this is the Pill Recipe for the Primal Bone Forming Pill, which our royal family spent a great price to obtain from the Alchemist Guild. This Storage Ring also contains three sets of Medicinal Herbs for the Primal Bone Forming Pill."
"If Master Xiao Yan can refine the Primal Bone Forming Pill one day, I hope you can refine one and send someone to deliver it. At that time, Yao Ye will definitely repay you handsomely."
Xiao Yan looked at the Pill Recipe and Medicinal Herbs in front of him with a strange expression. He had only made a trip to the palace, so how could someone be giving him Pill Recipes and Medicinal Herbs again? How could he have the nerve to accept them!
