"Yes, I did say that." Xiao Yan nodded, "But there is something I forgot to tell you. In fact... my real name is Xiao Yan."
"You fool me?!"
Chapter 91: Ninety, Abduction
"Are you kidding me?!" Hearing Zi Yan's angry roar, Hai Bodong felt proud for a moment. Seeing this little girl who was so angry at him, he felt extremely happy inside. Soon, he noticed the smile on Xiao Yan's face, and the strange feeling he had before came to his mind again.
He looked at Qing Lin and then at Zi Yan. This guy had always killed people without blinking an eye. Only when he met these two little girls, his attitude suddenly became much calmer, and he didn't even reveal his true bloody side. , which made him have to wonder if Xiao Yan had any special hobbies...
"Xiao Yan..."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan turned to look at Hai Bodong and asked, "What's wrong with Hai Bodong?"
"It's nothing, it's just..." Haibodong coughed a few times, and then said with some embarrassment, "I just think you seem to like little girls..."
"Does Mr. Hai think that I am the kind of pervert who preys on little girls?" Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "My attitude towards them is indeed better than that of ordinary people, but I just think they are so naive. Their innocent character is very attractive and can liven up the dull atmosphere at the scene. I don’t have any distracting thoughts about them, and I won’t be so perverted as to attack little girls.”
"That's good." Haibodong breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he didn't know that long, long time later, whenever he recalled what Xiao Yan said, he would want to rush to Xiao Yan. Spray some spit on him and despise him fiercely. How dare you say that you are not a lolicon?
Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yan's angry look and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Look, you've only been fooled by me once and you're so angry now, but have you ever thought that my medicinal materials were eaten by you?" There are so many, so I should be angrier than you, but you see, I still look so kind."
Haibodong looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment. Of course you are not angry, because that is not your medicinal material? Then they are mine!
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan was also a little embarrassed. Thinking about it carefully, she did go a bit too far, "You can't blame me. Who told you not to keep things well? I can't help smelling this smell. Coming to the door.”
"Nonsense! I put the medicinal materials in the jade box and sealed them tightly. How could you smell it!"
"Tch, as long as it's a treasure, let alone putting it in a jade box, I can find it even in the deep mountains and forests." Zi Yan folded his little hands on his chest and said with a little pride, "If I can take a fancy to it, then It must be a treasure from heaven and earth.”
"So, do you have the ability to sense heavenly materials and earthly treasures?" Xiao Yan asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Zi Yan realized that she had made a mistake and quickly covered her mouth. The great elder of Canaan College once told her not to reveal this ability to anyone. She didn't expect that she was so outspoken just now. All of a sudden, the bottom is exposed, and then he may be arrested and searched for medicinal materials every day...
Thinking of this, she quickly pretended to be pitiful and said, "Can you let me out? I...I can compensate you for the things."
"Compensation? Any medicinal plant I have here costs more than 150,000 yuan. I can't afford to pay you even if I sell it to you!" Hai Bodong said fiercely.
"Don't say that, Mr. Hai. The value of this girl cannot be measured by money." Xiao Yan waved his hand and continued to act as a good guy, but he did not lie. Although the little girl did not reveal her true form, he roughly guessed what kind of monster she was based on the abilities she displayed and the aura she exuded.
He is born with strange powers, has a strong body, can see energy shields as nothing, and can also sense the existence of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In Xiao Yan's impression, these characteristics are the most terrifying and mysterious among the three major groups of Warcraft. Only the Taixu ancient dragon has it.
That kind of existence, let alone a living body, even a dead corpse, is definitely not something that can be measured in terms of money, not to mention that the Taixu ancient dragon in front of Xiao Yan is still in its infancy, then Even rarer.
To put it bluntly, if Zi Yan is kidnapped to Zhongzhou and sold openly, he can get even the heaven-level skills. Of course, the premise is that he will not be killed or robbed by some strong people, or A strong man from that clan came to his door.
"How about this, sister Ziyan, you answer a few questions for me, and I will release you after you answer them. How about that?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
"Really?" A smile just appeared on Zi Yan's face, but soon, she remembered what she had been deceived by Xiao Yan just now. She hesitated and asked, "You won't lie to me again, will you?"
"I was just teasing you just now. In fact, I am very good to the little girl. If you don't believe me, just ask her." Xiao Yan pointed to Qing Lin beside him and said: "She was in poor health before, but now she is still I fed myself until I was fat."
"Master, I'm not fat." Qing Lin corrected him.
"Yes, yes, you are not fat..." Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. He began to reflect on whether he had raised Qing Lin so well that she dared to talk back now. After comforting Qing Lin, , he continued: "If you answer my question, not only will I release you from the net, but I won't hold you accountable for the medicinal materials you consumed, how about that?"
Haibodong on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't want to pursue it? You are so noble, you actually use my things to pick up girls... Those are all the medicinal materials he worked so hard to collect!
"Then ask." Zi Yan stared at Xiao Yan warily.
"I remember that most monsters can only transform into the sixth level or above, right? But you only have the strength of a fighting king, how come it's like this?"
"Uh... I accidentally ate a transformation grass before, so I became like this, and I can never change back." Ziyan said with some disinterest.
"I see. No wonder you keep looking for this kind of medicinal material. I think you want to advance quickly so that you can transform at will?" Xiao Yan, who is familiar with the functions of the Shapeshifting Grass, quickly understood what Zi Yan was doing. He asked with a smile, "With your ability, I think there are probably many things stolen from the treasure house of your Canaan Academy, right?"
"Hmph." Zi Yan snorted lightly, but she did not refute Xiao Yan's words. It was obvious that he was right. When she was in Canaan College, she went to get medicinal materials every now and then. That's why she Elder Su Qianda and others stopped her, so she sneaked out to find some medicinal materials in the mountains, but accidentally got lost and ended up living near the Xiao Clan.
"However, these medicinal materials should be very difficult to eat, right?" Xiao Yan chuckled and asked. In his previous life, he also chewed medicinal materials and other things when he was very hungry. Naturally, he knew that these things would not taste as good if they were eaten dry. Where to go.
"It's quite unpalatable." Ziyan frowned and said, "But I have to eat these things to grow up. Otherwise, I won't eat these things."
"Then do you want me to help you refine these medicinal materials into elixirs to make them more delicious?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Chapter 92: Ninety-one, retreat again
"Refining?" Zi Yan's big black eyes suddenly brightened a little: "Are you a refining pharmacist?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and a medicine cauldron first emerged from the ring. Then he stretched out a finger, and saw a wisp of purple-black flames flying from his fingertips. Jump out.
Looking at the purple-black flame, Zi Yan's big eyes also flashed with a hint of nervousness. It seems that she is not a fire attribute monster, so she is a little afraid of strange fires such as the Nine Nether Phantom Demon Fire. Emotions, but she could also sense that Xiao Yan's flames were much more powerful than those old men in the alchemy department. In other words, he must be a senior alchemist.
"Will you help me make something delicious?"
"Of course, but it's not free." Xiao Yan said with a smile, as if he was a weird uncle trying to lure an ignorant girl with a lollipop. "You have to provide the medicinal materials for alchemy yourself, and if you want it in the future, If you go to the mountains to find medicinal materials, you have to take me with you, and you can’t steal the medicinal materials from me again, how about that?”
"Deal!" Zi Yan agreed without hesitation. Anyway, it is not difficult for her to find medicinal materials with her talent for treasure hunting. Seeing Zi Yan agree, the smile on Xiao Yan's face became even brighter. It's a bit rich, but he has no interest in those medicinal materials. He just wants to have a good relationship with a Taixu ancient dragon. If this guy can grow up, his strength will be extremely terrifying...
"Um...have you ever eaten people?" Hai Bodong hesitated for a moment and asked. He knew that many monsters had eaten people. Although Xiao Yan, as the master, might not care about this, Hai Bodong asked. But Bo Dong was a little concerned. If he was placed in the same room with a humanoid monster that had eaten people... then he would really not be able to bear it.
"I've never eaten it before. Is human flesh delicious?" Zi Yan blinked and asked curiously.
"It's not very tasty, at least it's nowhere near as good as those fish, mutton, and pork." Xiao Yan shrugged and said, "The taste is not as good as the medicinal herbs you eat dry."
"Uh... I'd better not eat it then." Once he heard that human flesh was unpalatable, Ziyan immediately lost interest in it.
Hai Bodong was just about to ask Xiao Yan why he knew so clearly, but when he saw the expression on Xiao Yan's face that looked like a smile but not a smile, he immediately gave up the idea. His intuition told him that some things are best not to be taken too seriously. You have to be curious, otherwise you may get some terrible answers...
"Master!" At this moment, Qing Lin suddenly hugged Xiao Yan's arm and said pitifully: "You can't let me go. I'm your most considerate maid."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out why this girl suddenly said such a sentence, but he still touched her head and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I won't let you go." of."
What Xiao Yan didn't know was that Zi Yan's appearance brought a great sense of crisis to Qing Lin. They were both cute little girls, but Zi Yan was much stronger than Qing Lin, and she was also She has a talent for treasure hunting, but her years of low self-esteem made Qinglin subconsciously feel that Xiao Yan wanted to abandon her and find a new maid...
To put it simply, he was jealous... But his childhood life of being bullied made Qinglin’s first thought when encountering this situation be begging. After hearing Xiao Yan’s assurance, Qinglin Breathing a sigh of relief, she rubbed Xiao Yan's palm very affectionately, and at the same time secretly made up her mind that she must work hard to become stronger and make herself more useful, so that she would not be replaced by others.
During the past six months, because she had been absorbing the power of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake imperceptibly, coupled with Qinglin's own hard work in cultivation, her strength had also improved to the level of a fighter. However, the price she paid was that the strength of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had dropped a lot, and now it only had the strength of a seven or eight-star great fighter.
So Xiao Yan fed this monster two more Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills, which raised the strength of the two-headed fire spirit snake to the peak level of the Great Fighter. However, he naturally did not have good intentions for this guy, but I want to increase its strength a little more, so that Qing Lin can absorb more fighting energy.
After testing Qing Lin's strength, Xiao Yan took the time to guide Qing Lin in practicing the fighting skills. Although he had never practiced the fighting skills that Qing Lin had learned, his vision was still at the peak level of the Fighting Saint. This kind of mysterious class For other things, he could tell Qinglin's mistakes at a glance and help her correct them one by one.
Days like this even reminded Xiao Yan of the time when he taught disciples in his previous life. However, he didn't want to be a teacher anymore, and Qing Lin couldn't call him master. According to Xiao Yan's idea, instead of accepting her as a disciple, it would be better to just accept her as a disciple. She has adopted her as her adopted daughter, although this girl will definitely be unwilling to kill her...
After Xiao Yan finished refining the medicine for the remaining half a year, he helped Zi refine a few bottles of pills. However, refining that kind of energy pills is not as complicated as elixirs. Xiao Yan only needs to mix the medicinal materials into the shape of pills, and then proceed Just add some delicious seasoning to it, there is no technical content at all, so within half a day, Xiao Yan handed the pills to Zi Yan.
After the pills were refined, Xiao Yan felt the barrier of Dou Huang level again, and this time the feeling was stronger than the previous times. Therefore, after Xiao Yan wrote a letter and sent it to Canaan College, He just put down everything on hand and re-entered his retreat room.
No matter what, Zi Yan is also a member of Canaan College. After missing for a period of time, Canaan College will definitely send people out to search for it. If they find this place by then, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings, which will be troublesome, so Xiao Yan prepares it in advance Writing a letter to inform Ziyan about it was also an expression of his goodwill.
"Next, it's time to break through the Dou Huang with peace of mind..." Xiao Yan sat on the green lotus throne, flicked his finger on the ring, and then, a green lotus seed appeared on Xiao Yan's face. In Yan's hand, it was the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds that he picked from the Green Lotus Rosette when he found the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire.
Although he has now touched the Dou Huang's barrier, it still requires a lot of energy to successfully break through it. It takes hundreds of years to condense this Earth Fire Lotus Seed, and the energy contained in it is naturally very huge. With the help of The energy of this thing is enough to make it easier for him to break through the Dou Huang.
Of course, if we look at the benefits alone, the energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed cannot directly increase a Dou Wang expert by one star like the Dou Ling Dan. However, due to its own special effect, it will not appear when refining it. Why does the Dou Qi become weak due to the help of external force? Instead, the meridians and Dou Qi in the body will be tempered again. This is why Xiao Yan chose to rely on it to break through the Dou Huang.
Chapter 93: News about the Strange Fire
In the silent room, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the green lotus throne, formed seals with his hands, and quickly entered the state of cultivation. Soon, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some kind of traction, and was continuously injected into it. When the body's condition reached its peak, Xiao Yan immediately swallowed the Earth Fire Lotus Seed that he had prepared long ago into his mouth.
When the local fire lotus seeds were swallowed into his mouth, an extremely pure energy burst out from his body, and then a bone-deep burning sensation quickly spread in his body. His fair face turned red like a cooked crab, and even the surrounding air became hotter.
The fiery energy transformed from the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds travels in Xiao Yan's meridians. Although this process is extremely painful, Xiao Yan can clearly feel that after the energy passes through, the meridians there become more intense. He was a little tougher, and more than that, there was also a trace of cyan energy that was constantly integrated into his bones and flesh as it traveled, strengthening his body.
"As expected of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, which is known as the essence of fire spirit. This energy is really strange." Feeling the fiery fluctuations coming from his body, Xiao Yan was also moved, and the surface of his body lit up with a golden light, which was exactly what he had before. The small glazed golden body that was successfully cultivated in the magma had its physical body strengthened, and the burning pain in the body was also reduced a lot. Only then did Xiao Yan completely let go of refining the energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.
Although the energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds is extremely huge, it is not that difficult for Xiao Yan, who has evolved into the Earth Level, to refine them. When the last energy is absorbed and refined by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's His eyes slowly opened, and a ray of cyan light flashed through his eyes, and then, the aura of his whole body also rose rapidly.
However, although his aura at this time was much stronger than before the seclusion, he still could not truly break through to the Douhuang level, and the rate of increase in aura was getting slower and slower. Xiao Yan knew very well that if he failed to break through successfully this time, If so, then he may have to practice hard for a while before he can break through.
He didn't want to fail to achieve the best results after taking the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, so now he could only try again. When he saw that the rising aura was about to stop, Xiao Yan's palms suddenly clenched into fists. He jumped down from the green lotus and slammed his fist heavily on the ground, shouting, "Break!"
"Ka!" As Xiao Yan's punch fell, the ground of the entire room quickly shattered, and Xiao Yan's aura that had originally reached the limit rose again under this sharp shout, completely overcoming Dou Huang. The barrier was formed, and then, an incomparable surge of fighting spirit spread in Xiao Yan's body like a tide.
"Huh... finally the Dou Huang." Feeling the power gushing out of his body, Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. The barrier between Dou Wang and Dou Huang was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. In his previous life, Although it takes more time to break through this level, it is not that difficult.
Unexpectedly, even if he took the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, he was almost unable to cross this barrier. If he hadn't relied on his own belief to explode his momentum again and broke this bottleneck in one go, it would have been at least a month. Only time can make a smooth breakthrough.
Douhuang-level existences, whether in the Jia Ma Empire or the Black Horn Region, are strong enough to command one side, but if they come to Zhongzhou, they can only dominate in some marginal areas, leaving behind the real prosperity. In this region, the so-called Douhuang warriors can barely make ends meet.
Therefore, Xiao Yan is not very proud and complacent. Although he was said to be at the peak level of Dou Sheng in his previous life, that is all in the past. Before he has fully grown up, there are too many possibilities for him to die midway. , Be careful in sailing the ship for ten thousand years. This was one of the rules of conduct in his previous life, and this rule was retained by him in this life.
Therefore, he did not tell Haibodong that he broke through to Douhuang, but regretfully expressed that his breakthrough failed again this time. He had strong soul power to cover up his aura, let alone Haibodong, even Dou Zongqiang No one can detect Xiao Yan's true strength.
Haibodong didn't feel strange about this. Instead, he thought it was very reasonable. After all, it only took him ten years to break through this. If Xiao Yan could break through in half a year, he would find it unrealistic.
After successfully breaking through the Douhuang, Xiao Yan's cultivation became much more leisurely. Of course, it didn't mean that he didn't continue to practice, but he didn't just stay in the house all day long to practice as before. Xiao Yan knew very well that only Relaxation and moderation is the way to practice. If you only know how to practice hard, the effect will not be as good as imagined.
During this period of time, he took a period of time every day to refine the elixir, and then took out some of the more powerful fighting skills in his memory to practice. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would also bring the two little ones Qing Lin and Zi Yan with him. The girl went to hang out in the city, or went into the mountains and forests to find medicinal materials. It can be said that her life was quite comfortable.
But while they were living happily, Hai Bodong was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. When Xiao Yan was in seclusion, he was responsible for almost all the affairs of the Xiao family. He thought that after Xiao Yan came out of seclusion, He could have some leisure time, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yan would still be the hands-off shopkeeper after he came out.
In order to compensate Hai Bodong, Xiao Yan took the time to refine the Purple Purple Spirit Pill he needed. After getting the Purple Purple Spirit Pill, Hai Bodong had no choice but to accept his fate and continue to deal with Xiao Clan's affairs.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yan's soul power has now reached the peak of the mortal realm. With his current strength, he can also refine real seventh-grade elixirs. As long as his alchemy refining skills can keep up, he can even try to refine them. It was time to make the seventh-grade peak elixir, but considering that there was too much noise in refining the seventh-grade elixir, and because he had not found a suitable alchemy cauldron, Xiao Yan had put this matter aside.
As for the sixth-grade elixir, Xiao Yan also officially started refining it on a large scale. With his current strength as a Dou Huang, plus the soul power at the peak of the mortal realm, the success rate of refining the sixth-grade elixir has also been greatly improved. When these sixth-grade elixirs flowed out, even Hai Bodong couldn't help but feel a little moved. Especially after Xiao Yan threw a Huangji elixir to Hai Bodong like trash, Hai Bodong was so excited that he wanted to He signed a contract of betrayal for Xiao Yan in public.
Just when everything in the Xiao Clan was proceeding in an orderly manner, the appearance of a piece of information completely broke the peace. Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but get a little excited when he received this information.
The information was very simple, with only a few scrawled words - "In the land of Guixu, there may be strange fires."
Chapter 94: Ninety-three, Medicine Emperor's Information
"The Land of Return to Ruins..." Looking at the words on the note, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He knew the Black Angle Territory well, and naturally knew about the so-called Place of Return to Ruins, but it was only I only know the name and have never been there, because the so-called place of return to ruins is actually in an ocean.
For people who live on land all year round, the ocean is like another world. Even Xiao Yan in his previous life has never set foot in the ocean, but he has also read in ancient books that there are also many powerful people in the ocean. There are even some strange races living in the sea.
Strictly speaking, the Land of Guixu is not part of the Black Corner Region. It is said that it is an ancient ruins. For some reason, it floats on the sea level and drifts in a specific trajectory. Every fifty years, We will approach the Black Angle Region just now, and only during that time will it be possible for people from the Black Angle Region to approach there.
This year, it happens to be the time when the Land of Guixu is approaching the Black Corner Territory again, and the rumors of strange fires appearing in the Land of Guixu were spread by the people who entered the Land of Guixu fifty years ago. With the passage of time, few people knew about it, and during this period, as the Land of Return to the Ruins approached the Black Corner Territory again, this news was revealed again.
However, this is not a good thing for Xiao Yan, because there are many strong fire attributes in the Black Corner Domain, and there are also a few who covet the strange fire. Since he can receive this information, then other The strong man must have received similar news. In other words, if a strange fire is really discovered in the Land of Return to Ruins, he may not be able to grab it as easily as the previous times.
"Unexpectedly, there is actually a strange fire in the Black Corner Domain." Hai Bodong was a little surprised after seeing the information. He glanced at Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "There will probably be a lot of fire next." People with strong attributes will go for it, but I don’t know who will end up with it in the end. It’s just a pity that you probably have no interest in wade into this muddy water, otherwise, your success rate is probably not low.”
From Haibodong's point of view, Xiao Yan already had a strange fire on hand, so it was naturally impossible to absorb a second strange fire. However, he was actually a little curious. Is it Xiao Yan's strange fire that is more powerful, or the black horn? The strange fire that appeared in the domain was powerful, but he also knew that with Xiao Yan's character, who was unwilling to gain anything and couldn't afford to get early, he would probably not go to the Guixu Land.
"Hai Lao, do you know who are the strongest people who practice fire-attributed fighting spirit in the Black Corner Domain?" Xiao Yan gently tapped his fingers on the table and asked seemingly casually.
"Let me think about it, it should be the old demon from the Demon Flame Valley, right?" Hai Bodong thought for a while and said, he has been in the Black Corner Region for almost a year, and naturally he has collected a lot of information about other forces. According to the information, this old devil is a genuine Douzong warrior, but because he has been in seclusion for many years, not many people know his true strength.
