Using Pills to Control Pills
"Upon hearing that, Xiao Yan revealed a smile, then frowned slightly, and slowly said, "That Han Feng hasn't run away, and is still in the Black-Corner Region, right?"
"Naturally, he controls the entire Maple City and has painstakingly managed it for many years; he can't bear to leave." Su Qian narrowed his eyes, a faint cold glint flashing past. He still vividly remembered Han Feng gathering a large number of experts to attack the Inner Academy two months ago.
"Hehe, that's good." Xiao Yan interlocked his fingers, smiling.
Although there was no great feud between Xiao Yan and Han Feng, and Xiao Yan hadn't decided to clean up the house, Han Feng's greed in wanting to hunt him down always made Xiao Yan uneasy.
Xiao Yan knew that Han Feng was constantly eyeing his Burningincantation. As the saying goes, it's not the thief who steals that you fear, but the one who steals that you fear, but the one who plots. Han Feng was that plotter.
Who knew what Han Feng would do to him in secret? Xiao Yan didn't have such womanly kindness; he believed in striking first to gain the upper hand.
Before leaving Canaan Academy, he would definitely resolve these hidden dangers.
Canaan Academy's hatred for Han Feng was no less than Xiao Yan's. Han Feng had gathered many Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs from the Black-Corner Region to attack Canaan Academy, and some elders had fallen in that battle.
Su Qian pondered, "When you entered Earth's Core to refine the Fallen Heart Flame, Han Feng stayed in Maple City and didn't leave."
"But you also know that although Han Feng's strength is only at the peak of Dou Huang, and Maple City doesn't have many experts, he is an Alchemist approaching Seventh Grade. You are also an Alchemist, so you should understand what that means."
The appeal of an Alchemist! Just like Xiao Yan, as a Rank 6 Alchemist with a Strange Flame. If he were attacked, Hai Bo Dong, the Gama Empire's royal family, and even Medusa would come to protect him, all of whom had sought pills from him.
Xiao Yan only had the power of an Alchemist approaching Sixth Grade back then, and Han Feng had been operating in the Black-Corner Region for many years, approaching Seventh Grade, his power would only be stronger.
Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan tapped the table gently with his fingers, and after a moment, he said softly, "With my current improved Soul power and cultivation, perhaps I can also use pills to deal with those forces in the Black-Corner Region..."
Xiao Yan revealed a cunning smile, raising his eyebrows as he looked at the Great Elder. Being stared at like that by Xiao Yan, even Su Qian felt a chill down his spine.
"What do you want to do?" Su Qian asked warily.
"Great Elder, don't you want to get revenge?" Xiao Yan smiled.
Hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Su Qian's eyes, and he said fiercely, "How could I not? The Inner Academy's reputation can't deteriorate in my hands, and elders were killed. How will I explain to the Dean when he returns?"
"Hehe, the helpers Han Feng gathered were at most worth a Huangji Pill. Although I am only a Sixth Grade Low-Level Alchemist and haven't refined a Huangji Pill before, I did successfully refine a Sixth Grade High-Level Earth Spirit Pill back then. And my strength is much greater now than it was then." Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian with a smile.
The Great Elder suddenly froze, only then remembering that this monster had refined Sixth Grade High-Level pills back then!
Although Xiao Yan's success rate in refining high-level Sixth Grade pills wasn't high, that was half a year ago, and Xiao Yan was only a Dou Ling then. Now he was a five-star Dou Wang, and his Soul power had also improved a lot!
Most importantly, the Burningincantation had reached Quasi-Heaven Rank! His fire control was definitely no worse than a Seventh Grade Alchemist, perhaps even stronger.
It could be said that all Xiao Yan lacked now in refining Sixth Grade pills was experience.
"You mean, you want the academy to provide Medicinal Herbs for you to refine Huangji Pills to recruit experts from the Black-Corner Region to fight against Han Feng?" The Great Elder frowned slightly, looking at Xiao Yan.
"Great Elder, you understand how dangerous Han Feng is to the Inner Academy. He also knows that he and Canaan Academy are irreconcilable, with no room for compromise. I won't take the Medicinal Herbs for nothing. We'll split the successfully refined pills five-five, so the academy won't lose out." Xiao Yan revealed his pearly white teeth, smiling cunningly.
The Great Elder pondered upon hearing this. Pill Refining wasn't 100% successful, especially for Xiao Yan, who was refining high-level pills at a low level.
But he had witnessed Xiao Yan's Pill Refining skills. He had successfully refined Sixth Grade High-Level pills back then, so even if the success rate wasn't very high now, it shouldn't be too low.
Moreover, if Medicinal Herbs couldn't be refined into pills, their value would be greatly reduced. What Xiao Yan said did make some sense.
The difficulty of refining Huangji Pills was among the top of Sixth Grade pills. Although it was defined as Sixth Grade High-Level, there would be no problem calling it a Sixth Grade Peak pill.
After all, this was a pill that could directly increase a Dou Huang's strength by one star, and unlike Dou Wang Pills, which could only be taken once, Huangji Pills could be taken twice.
Apart from the Sect Breakthrough Pill, which could increase the chance of breaking through to Dou Zong, and the Huangtian Pill, which allowed a nine-star Dou Wang to break through to Dou Huang with 100% certainty, the Huangji Pill and Little Soul Black-Purple Pill, which could directly increase cultivation and Soul power, were the most precious among Sixth Grade pills.
"Alright, since you're interested, then my Inner Academy will play along with you!" Su Qian slammed his palm heavily on the table, laughing heartily. With Xiao Yan, a super-strong combatant, joining, plus his Pill Refining skills, Su Qian wouldn't be indecisive.
He would definitely make this Medicine Emperor fall!
"Then two months from now. Two months should be enough." Xiao Yan put away his playful smile, revealing a serious expression.
With sufficient Medicinal Herbs, Xiao Yan should be able to refine several Huangji Pills in a month or two. And even if there weren't enough Huangji Pill Medicinal Herbs, Xiao Yan had so many Pill Recipes for Sixth Grade High-Level pills that he could refine other Sixth Grade High-Level pills to win people's hearts! Suddenly, Xiao Yan thought of something and asked, "By the way, during the battle, I heard the Great Elder mention that Han Feng had a master called Medicine Venerable. Can the Great Elder tell me something about Medicine Venerable?"
A strange look flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he looked at Su Qian. If he wasn't mistaken, the owner of the mysterious Storage Ring he inherited from his mother should be this Medicine Venerable.
No wonder there were so many treasures inside. This was actually the inheritance of a Dou Zun, and this Dou Zun was an Alchemist above Eighth Grade.
Hearing Xiao Yan mention that legend, Su Qian sighed inwardly, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.
"You don't have to worry about Han Feng's master coming to seek revenge on us, because that Medicine Venerable fell many years ago." Su Qian said slowly, feeling sorry for the fall of such a legend.
Xiao Yan frowned and asked, "How did he fall?"
Su Qian shook his head and said, "I don't know. The fall of Medicine Venerable shocked the entire Dou Qi Continent back then, and his personal disciple Han Feng announced to the outside world that Medicine Venerable had gone berserk while Pill Refining and was blown to death. No one believed such a statement, after all, that was Medicine Venerable, but even Medicine Venerable's close friend Venerable Feng Gu Ling didn't find anything, so this matter became an unsolved case."
"What kind of person was he?" Xiao Yan asked softly.
"What kind of person?" Su Qian frowned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this Medicine Venerable's character. I've only heard that he was friendly, generous in guiding others, and single-mindedly pursued the path of Pill Refining."
"He once used his strength as a Seventh Grade Alchemist to refine a perfect Eighth Grade Pill, defeating Xuan Kongzi, Hou Guaicai, and other geniuses of the Pill Tower, winning the championship of the Pill Gathering, and thus becoming famous throughout Central State."
"He is a true Alchemist genius."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan fell into a moment of contemplation.
For two months, Xiao Yan had been like a madman every day, frantically refining pills, not caring even if he became disheveled and unkempt.
Xiao Yan had already reached the Sixth Grade Low-Level. With the help of the Black Demon, refining Sixth Grade Mid-Level pills was not a problem at all. In addition, with the evolution of the Burningincantation and his terrifying Soul power, Xiao Yan didn't need to rely on the Black Demon to have an 80% chance of refining Sixth Grade Mid-Level pills in just a few days.
The Great Elder also spared no effort in supporting Xiao Yan, not only taking out all the Sixth Grade Medicinal Herbs from the Inner Academy's medicine storehouse for Xiao Yan to refine pills and gain experience, but even taking out the precious Medicinal Herbs from the Scripture Pavilion for Xiao Yan to refine pills.
Not only that, but he also spent a lot of the Inner Academy's funds, sweeping through a large number of Medicinal Herb shops in the Black-Corner Region. Even the largest Medicinal Herb shop in the Black-Corner Region, the Thousand Medicines Shop, was bought out by the Inner Academy.
Everyone thought that the Inner Academy was trying to prevent Han Feng from refining pills to fight against Canaan Academy, but only they knew that the Inner Academy was also refining pills.
In one month, even with Xiao Yan's long hours of hard work in Pill Refining, his cultivation only slowly advanced from a five-star peak Dou Wang (Fighting King) to a six-star.
More than a month later, Xiao Yan no longer needed to borrow the power of the Black Demon to successfully refine Sixth Grade High-Level pills.
Although the power of the Black Demon was strong and could forcibly improve Pill Refining skills, it could also lead to dependence. Xiao Yan dared not use it for a long time unless absolutely necessary.
Two months later.
"Pill Formation!"
*BOOM!* A towering pillar of energy shot out from the Black Demon, and the terrifying, trembling energy made even the Great Elder reveal a look of surprise.
Inside the Pill Furnace, the colorless and transparent Fallen Heart Flame (Fallen Heart Flame) danced wildly. At the moment when the prototype of the pill took shape, Xiao Yan clearly felt that the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy suddenly fluctuated. The scene was like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves to surge.
If the Great Elder hadn't set up a barrier in advance, this terrifying Pill Mist energy pillar would have definitely attracted the attention of the Black-Corner Region, attracting the attention of that Han Feng.
"Too exaggerated..." The Fire Elder stared dumbfounded at the shocking scene before him. He was once the Inner Academy's number one Alchemist Elder, a Sixth Grade Mid-Level Alchemist.
But in just one year, his title of strongest Alchemist was not only lost, but he was surpassed by a huge margin.
In two months, Xiao Yan could not only successfully refine Sixth Grade High-Level pills, but also had a very high success rate with pills like the Huangji Pill. And today, Xiao Yan planned to challenge the peak of the Sixth Grade, one of the most pinnacle pills in the Sixth Grade, comparable to the Sect Breakthrough Pill, the Huangtian Pill!
Everyone stared at the emerald green pill in the pillar of light. All the Dou Wang Elders, even Zi Yan, swallowed their saliva.
"My god, Xiao Yan is a monster... That's the Huangtian Pill, a pill that can drive a nine-star Dou Wang crazy."
"I... If I remember correctly, the value of one Huangtian Pill already exceeds that of an ordinary Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique."
"Mm."
Just as this emerald green pill took shape, the sky above the Inner Academy suddenly turned dark, and heavy dark clouds quickly gathered above the sky. Within the dark clouds, some silver lightning could be seen, wandering around like silver snakes.
This scene that suddenly appeared in the sky directly startled everyone.
"Holy crap?! Pill Lightning???" Even the Great Elder couldn't help but shout, losing all composure.
"No, although the Huangtian Pill is a Sixth Grade peak pill, infinitely close to the Seventh Grade, it is still not a Seventh Grade Pill and cannot form Pill Lightning." The Fire Elder was indeed the former number one Alchemist Elder and quickly discovered the clue.
Sure enough, the dark clouds quickly dissipated. They had only gathered and did not drop Pill Lightning.
"His pill has a very high quality, exceeding that of ordinary Huangtian Pills. It is already infinitely close to the Seventh Grade, which is why it attracted such a phenomenon," the Fire Elder stroked his beard and said.
Xiao Yan's powerful Soul power burst out, and with a wave of his hand, the emerald green pill swayed into the jade box that Xiao Yan had prepared in advance.
Seeing the pill successfully refined, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Refining the Huangtian Pill was not easy. Even he needed to borrow the power of the Black Demon, and there was still a lot of luck involved.
Originally, Xiao Yan didn't plan to refine the Huangtian Pill. After all, he already had enough pills to win people's hearts and was ready to counterattack Maple City. But what he didn't expect was that two days ago, someone from the Black-Corner Region came to find Xiao Yan and asked him to refine a special Sixth Grade healing pill. The reward was the main Medicinal Herb of the Huangtian Pill. He had actually managed to gather a portion.
"Perfect."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal an excited smile. Don't look down on him just because he is only a six-star Dou Wang, far from a Dou Huang. Don't forget his identity as an Alchemist.
As long as Xiao Yan advances to an eight-star Dou Wang, he can use a Dou Wang Pill to advance to nine stars, and then directly use the Huangtian Pill to break through and reach the Dou Huang realm! In other words, Xiao Yan is now only two stars away from Dou Huang!
Although Xiao Yan had only advanced one star not long ago, remember that Xiao Yan has now not only refined the Fallen Heart Flame Source Fire Seed, but also possesses a quasi-Heaven Rank Cultivation Method.
In three or four months, Xiao Yan will be able to break through to an eight-star Dou Wang, and then rush to Dou Huang in one breath!
"Stop pouting. Here, these are for you." Seeing Zi Yan with a greedy look and drool flowing out, Xiao Yan took out a few round pills from the Pill Furnace.
This wasn't a pill; it was the excess medicinal powder from Xiao Yan's refining of the Huangtian Pill, which Xiao Yan had then made into a sugar pill by adding sugar.
Although it was just scrap, it was scrap from the Huangtian Pill, and the energy it contained was something even a Sixth Order Magical Beast might not be able to withstand.
Taking the pill bottle that Xiao Yan tossed over, Zi Yan immediately smiled sweetly and said, "That's more like it, hee hee hee."
"You have to give it your all tomorrow," Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Zi Yan waved her fist, revealing a fierce yet childish appearance, and said, "Of course! Tomorrow, I'll help you beat all those bad guys away!"
Wherever there was a fight, there was Zi Yan!
