"Xiao Yan, once I recover my Three-Star cultivation, if that Thunder Venerable is still so unappreciative, I wouldn't mind making him my first prey." The Heavenly Flame Venerable looked like a teenager, but at this moment, he was acting like an old man, full of domineering aura.
The first Soul Body he handed over to the Soul Palace would be that of the Thunder Venerable! And the Heavenly Flame Venerable did indeed have such capital. After all, he was once a peak Five-Star Dou Zun. Although he no longer had the Fallen Heart Flame, he possessed the Transformation Fire, which could rival a Strange Flame.
Although this Transformation Fire didn't have any special abilities, its power and temperature weren't much weaker than the Fallen Heart Flame. In addition, the Five Round Li Fire Method that the Heavenly Flame Venerable cultivated had been mastered for a long time, so he was indeed not afraid of the Thunder Venerable.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There's no need to rush. This is, after all, the territory of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but I believe there will be opportunities."
"I'll listen to your arrangements, Flame Venerable."
The two exchanged glances, looking like they were colluding with each other. Although they didn't make a sound, their eyes already emitted the laughter of a Soul Palace Venerable.
Xiao Yan didn't continue to disturb the Heavenly Flame Venerable's Pill Refining. Although the Fu Ling Qing Pill could restore some of the Heavenly Flame Venerable's cultivation, refining the medicinal effects would also take some time.
And the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly was about to begin. Xiao Yan had a premonition that this Four Directions Pavilion Assembly would definitely not be peaceful.
"Xiao Yan!"
Just as Xiao Yan and Yue Er Little Princess came out of the Space Lock, leaving the Heavenly Flame Venerable inside to refine the Fu Ling Qing Pill, Zi Yan launched a surprise attack from behind, directly pouncing on Xiao Yan's back, not giving Xiao Yan any chance to escape.
Caught on the spot by Zi Yan, Xiao Yan swallowed and showed an awkward but polite smile, saying, "Zi Yan, thank you for your hard work at the Han family in Heaven North City."
"Hehehe." Zi Yan lay on Xiao Yan's back, hugging Xiao Yan's neck tightly with both hands, and clamping Xiao Yan's waist with her legs, revealing a cute smile. Her two small tiger teeth looked very beautiful when she smiled.
Suddenly, Zi Yan smiled and said, "Hehe, Xiao Yan, has your Pill Refining skill improved again?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "You want me to help you refine Pills?"
Zi Yan nodded with a smile.
"Pill Refining is possible, but I don't have Medicinal Herbs now, let alone the most basic Pill Recipe." Xiao Yan spread his hands, pretending to be helpless.
Even in the Medicine Venerable's inheritance, there were very few Seventh Grade Pill Recipes, let alone Pills for Magical Beasts. Even the Heavenly Serpent Mansion didn't have many Pill Recipes of this type. The only two useful Pill Recipes were both Eight Grade, and they were found in the Azure-Eyed Serpent Saint's ruins, which were for Qing Lin, and not suitable for Zi Yan.
As if she had expected Xiao Yan to say this, Zi Yan flipped her hand, and a Pill Recipe Scroll appeared in Zi Yan's hand.
"Huh?! Where did you get the Pill Recipe!" Xiao Yan was shocked. He had never seen this Pill Recipe before. Where did this girl Zi Yan get it from! With a snap, Zi Yan jumped off Xiao Yan's back and threw the Scroll to Xiao Yan, saying, "Those two white-haired girls from the Han family gave it to me as a reward for helping them resolve the Hong Family's crisis. This is a Pill for Magical Beasts, which is just right for me."
Xiao Yan opened the Scroll with suspicion. The first thing that caught his eye was the four golden characters 'Heavenly Beast True Pill'. After reading it carefully, Xiao Yan knew that this was a Seventh Grade Pill for Seventh-Order Magical Beasts, and its level was the same as the Transformation Pill, both being Rank 7 High-Level.
This kind of Heavenly Beast True Pill could not only strengthen the body of Magical Beasts and enhance their physique, but also purify their bloodline, and even had a certain chance to evolve their bloodline.
For Magical Beasts, strengthening the body and strengthening the bloodline was equivalent to cultivators improving their cultivation. In general, this Pill was similar to the Dou Wang Pill, Huangji Pill, and Sect Restoration Pill, all of which belonged to the type that directly improved cultivation.
"Hey, I have to say that this Pill Recipe is indeed quite suitable for you, but I don't have the Medicinal Herbs either." Xiao Yan said.
"You don't have to worry about this. The Wind and Thunder Mountain Range is so big, it's not difficult for me to find all the Medicinal Herbs with my ability." Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, very confident in her treasure hunting ability.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at Zi Yan and said, "The Wind and Thunder Mountain Range is indeed rich in resources and produces Medicinal Herbs, otherwise the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would not have established itself here. But do you recognize Medicinal Herbs?"
Zi Yan smiled, grabbed Xin Lan's arm, and said, "I have her."
"Me?!" Xin Lan was shocked. She was born in one of the Pill Domain Five Great Families. Even if her Pill Refining skills were not good, her knowledge of Medicinal Herbs was naturally very rich.
Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile. Xin Lan, blink if you've been kidnapped.
In the end, Xiao Yan had no choice but to let Yue Er find all the Medicinal Herbs in the Flame Alliance's Medicinal Herb storehouse, and Zi Yan had to take the poor Xin Lan to run all over the mountains to find the missing ones.
With Zi Yan around, it was not difficult to find some Seventh Grade main Medicinal Herbs.
After sending Zi Yan away, Xiao Yan didn't cultivate. Instead, he went alone into the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range and came to an extremely remote small hillside. A small and exquisite wooden house had been built on this small hillside at some point.
"Actually, you can go to the camp. I believe everyone will be very welcome." Xiao Yan looked up. In the corridor outside the wooden house, a graceful figure in a plain white dress was standing there.
Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "I'm used to being alone."
Little Fairy Doctor had always been like this. Perhaps because of the Calamity Poison Body, she had become accustomed to staying away from crowds. Even though Xiao Yan had now refined the Strange Flame Poison Pill for her, completely suppressing the Calamity Poison Body, there was still a trace of fear in her heart.
She was afraid that one day the Poison Pill would fail, and the Calamity Poison Body would suddenly erupt, turning the entire Flame Alliance into ashes.
Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor had never lived in the Flame Alliance, but stayed away from the crowd. Even now that she knew Xiao Yan was going to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly, she chose to protect him secretly.
If Xiao Yan's Soul power wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to detect the hidden Little Fairy Doctor.
Xiao Yan also shook his head helplessly, but since Little Fairy Doctor liked it, Xiao Yan didn't say anything, and joked, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan and said softly, "Just come in yourself, I won't stop you."
Time passed quickly, and after seven days, the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly finally began under the gaze of countless eyes!
The Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, which was originally sparsely populated, became a sea of people, and the roads throughout the mountain range were packed. The clamorous sounds made many people feel like their ears were ringing.
"Damn, there are too many people. Can the East Pavilion accommodate so many?"
"The assembly is starting today, so naturally there are a lot of people. It's said that not only are the people from the Four Directions Pavilion here, but also dozens of other sects have arrived at the East Pavilion."
"The last winner was the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. I wonder who it will be this time?"
"Hard to say. Feng Qing'er, Tang Ying, Wang Chen, and Mu Qingluan are not to be trifled with. It's said that the four of them recently entered the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool in the Heavenly Eye Mountain Range, so their strength must have improved. But, hehe, this assembly has more to offer than just that."
"You mean the Flame Alliance?"
"Naturally. A large part of the reason so many sects and families from Central State have been drawn here is to see who will win between the Flame Alliance and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. If the Flame Alliance gains power, the entire periphery of Central State will be completely reshuffled."
"Too many incense burners, too many ghosts!"
The true East Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is not in the center of Wind and Thunder City, but on Thunder Mountain in the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range. After all, Wind and Thunder City was built later. In the beginning, when Thunder Venerable created his power, he built a pavilion on Thunder Mountain, hence the name Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
Thunder Mountain is extremely high. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can't see the top. Above the mountainside, it is shrouded in thick clouds and mist. These clouds are somewhat dark, and there is a faint flash of lightning within them. From a distance, the mountain peak looks as if it is covered by countless lightning bolts, extremely magnificent and towering.
Like Burning Flame Valley, this is also a treasure land, with very rich Wind Attribute and Lightning Attribute energy.
Chirp! Suddenly, a clear crane cry resounded, and then everyone saw a magnificent seven-colored giant crane flapping its wings and flying down from the bottom of the mountain, finally rushing towards the top.
This scene naturally attracted countless envious and amazed gazes.
Many people knew that the seven-colored giant crane was Phoenix Miss's mount.
Even though the Wind and Thunder Pavilion had set up tests to reduce the number of people entering the East Pavilion, the huge East Pavilion was still surrounded tightly. Just as the crowd was getting restless, a thunderous sound rang out, and a huge bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from the clouds, the intense light causing most people to instinctively close their eyes.
Within the lightning were the four pavilion masters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion! "All four pavilion masters are here!"
When everyone opened their eyes and saw the four people in the VIP seats, a sound of exclamation resounded. But before the crowd could discuss for long, a sword cry echoed throughout Thunder Mountain.
Hearing the sword cry, Thunder Venerable laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Sword Venerable, you're the fastest this time."
Immediately, the giant sword formed by Dou Qi in the sky turned into countless specks of light, and an old man brought Tang Ying to his seat.
The old man was short, the opposite of the burly Thunder Venerable, but no one dared to underestimate such a small old man.
However, Sword Venerable did not greet Thunder Venerable, but closed his eyes and waited, indicating that the relationship between the two was not good.
"Hehe, Sword Old Head still has that bad temper. It seems he still holds a grudge about that competition back then." Just as Sword Venerable had closed his eyes to rest, a strange laugh with a hint of gloom rang out.
Immediately, a dark black light shot from the foot of the mountain, and finally appeared on the seat as if teleporting. Without any politeness, he waved his sleeve and sat down.
The figure that appeared was an old man in black robes, his face pale, with a hint of gloom between his eyebrows, and a pair of eyes, one black and one white, looking quite strange. Behind him, naturally, was Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion.
Hearing this, Sword Venerable glanced at Yellow Springs Venerable and said indifferently, "This old man was just unlucky and lost to him back then. It's better than someone who was defeated by Wind Venerable after only a hundred rounds, wouldn't you say, Yellow Springs Venerable?"
Hearing Sword Venerable's mockery, a gloomy look flashed in Yellow Springs Venerable's eyes, but he just snorted and did not retort, after all, it was the truth.
Not long after the three venerables sat down, their eyelids suddenly twitched, and they simultaneously looked into the distance. A gust of clear wind suddenly swept through the crowd.
The huge cyan wind swirl appeared above the huge square as if flashing, and in a few breaths, the wind swirl trembled slightly and suddenly trembled, turning into countless specks of light and dissipating. Among them, two figures were riding a light wind, slowly falling on the seat from the sky.
"Even Wind Venerable, who never asks about worldly affairs, has come! Wow, all four venerables are here. This trip was worth it."
"These Dou Zun experts, who are usually extremely difficult to see, have now come out four at a time. This Four Directions Pavilion Assembly is indeed grand enough. No wonder it has attracted so many people."
Wind Venerable slowly sat down, his long hair scattered over his shoulders, giving him a sense of freedom. His appearance was not ordinary, and even though he was old, one could still faintly see a hint of handsomeness, so his appearance must have been good when he was young.
Mu Qingluan stood with her hands behind her back, standing beside her master.
Unlike the other three venerables, Wind Venerable always had a kind smile on his face, and he was polite and responsive to Thunder Venerable, Sword Venerable, and even Yellow Springs Venerable.
After a few polite greetings, they looked at each other. Clearly, all four venerables had arrived, and most of the sects had also come, but Thunder Venerable still did not shout for the assembly to begin.
The originally noisy crowd gradually began to quiet down, and the atmosphere of the entire Thunder Mountain began to become somewhat oppressive.
Because everyone knew that someone had not yet arrived! And this time, all four venerables had arrived, even Wind Venerable, who rarely showed his face, had come because of this emerging force, the Flame Alliance! Roar!!!! Suddenly, in a camp in the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, a shocking dragon roar sounded, and a bright blue light suddenly rose into the sky. In this light, a huge, blue Flood Dragon stepped through the void!
Although the Nethersea Flood Dragon did not have the good fortune of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King and had not yet obtained a Transformation Pill, with the help of Jia Xing Tian and the Gama Empire's royal family, its strength had finally reached Seventh Order not long ago.
Boom! The huge Nethersea Flood Dragon seemed to treat the sky as the sea, its dragon claws grabbing the void, and in a few flashes, it appeared above Thunder Mountain.
"Wow, what a cool Flood Dragon!"
"That's the Flame Alliance's Nethersea Flood Dragon!"
"Quick, look at the Nethersea Flood Dragon's forehead!"
At this moment, several figures were scattered on the Nethersea Flood Dragon's forehead. Hai Bo Dong and Jia Xing Tian, the old Dou Zongs of the Flame Alliance, were there, as well as Nalan Yanran, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan, all standing behind Xiao Yan.
Naturally, the one standing in the middle of everyone was not Nalan Yanran, who had killed the most enemies for the Flame Alliance, nor Heavenly Flame Venerable, who had the strongest strength, but Xiao Yan, the initiator of the Flame Alliance Covenant and a Pill Refining grandmaster! "Everyone's here, but why isn't there a seat for my Flame Alliance?" Xiao Yan asked with a slight smile, his hands behind his back, looking at Thunder Venerable.
Xiao Yan's voice was not soft, and the entire Thunder Mountain could hear it. There were only four seats on the top floor platform of Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and they were already full.
But everyone knew that from the very beginning of the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly until now, there had only ever been four seats.
Because the name of the assembly was the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly, how could there possibly be five seats! And Xiao Yan's words were full of provocation!
He was clearly declaring that the Flame Alliance was here to challenge the status of the Four Directions Pavilion!
"How arrogant."
"Damn, this Xiao Yan is completely disrespecting the Four Great Venerables. He's already talking about turning four seats into five!"
But at this time, the audience didn't feel anything was wrong, because the Flame Alliance itself had a Dou Zun, and also two Nine Star Dou Zongs, its sphere of influence was no smaller than the Four Directions Pavilion.
And most importantly, the Flame Alliance had a battle record, that is, the Flame Alliance had killed a One Star Dou Zun, Serpent Emperor! The Flame Alliance's reputation was earned through fighting. Although it was only a One Star Dou Zun, it was still a Dou Zun! But in the end, he was killed! The Four Directions Pavilion had not been heard to have killed any Dou Zuns for many years, most of them were just sparring and exchanges, there were no real life-and-death battles! The Flame Alliance's name was a fierce name! At this time, Thunder Venerable glanced at North Pavilion Master Fei Tian, who understood and snorted coldly, saying, "Hmph, the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly has always had only four seats, where would a fifth one come from?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Fei Tian, his eyes still calm and indifferent, and said plainly, "Oh? According to Pavilion Master Fei Tian, does that mean that the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly widely invites the world just to watch your Four Directions Pavilion perform?"
Fei Tian was immediately speechless, because previous Four Directions Pavilion Assemblies were not only for the disciples of the Four Directions Pavilion. Just like this session, including the four disciples of the Four Directions Pavilion, there were a total of fifty-three people, starting with a melee until only eight people were left in the field.
Then there would be one-on-one matches, and the person who lasted until the end would receive a reward from the organizer.
Hearing this, Thunder Venerable slowly stood up and said, "Those who are qualified to sit here are all winners of past assemblies. If your Flame Alliance can win this year, you will naturally be qualified to get a seat."
Afterward, Xiao Yan looked at the three disciples of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Yellow Springs Pavilion, and Starfall Pavilion. Naturally, these three were all under thirty years old and were all One Star Dou Zongs.
"If the younger generation of the Four Directions Pavilion are all of this strength, then this year's assembly will be very boring."
Flame Venerable's words were a map attack, offending not only Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but also the other three pavilions! However, what Xiao Yan said was also the truth, whether it was Tang Ying, Wang Chen, or Mu Qingluan, they were all just at the initial stage of Dou Zong.
Not to mention Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin, even Nalan Yanran would not necessarily lose to them. His Flame Alliance could take on four at once.
"Xiao Yan, cultivation doesn't represent everything. It's not like I haven't defeated a Three Star Dou Zong before." At this time, Tang Ying, who was carrying a sword, couldn't help but speak. They could all fight beyond their level, and a difference of two stars was nothing.
"Is that so? In that case, Yanran, Qing Lin, you two go down and play." Xiao Yan waved his hand casually.
What Four Directions Pavilion Assembly? Today, this assembly is the Flame Alliance's performance!
