Fatten Her Up First

Upon hearing Feng Qing'er's question, Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan both looked at Jin Shi with suspicion.

Jin Shi had been repeatedly warning them about the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool from the very beginning, and it would be hard for the three of them to believe that he knew nothing about it.

"This..."

Before Jin Shi could even refute, the figure that emerged from the lava flashed before them like a ghost, staring intently at Feng Qing'er.

Jin Shi's face twitched wildly. He naturally recognized the aura of this master, which was why he wanted to send these three people away in an attempt to hide the secret of the Flying Dou Technique. He never expected that he would rush directly in front of Feng Qing'er.

Fortunately, he did not directly use the Flying Dou Technique made from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bone Wings!

"The Ancient Void Dragon ..." Feng Qing'er's expression changed. The disgust that came from the depths of her bloodline finally made her understand the identity of the Dou Zong powerhouse in front of her.

"Don't be nervous. I think we're not enemies, we can even be called friends." Xiao Yan took out a Jade Bottle, opened it, and the fragrance of the Sect Breaking Pill burst out instantly.

Feng Qing'er reluctantly shifted her gaze. The Sect Breaking Pill was a top -Sixth Grade- rank Pills, which ordinary Sixth Grade Alchemist could not refine at all, and its effects were exactly to her liking.

"Heh... it seems you've been planning this all along." A few deep red blood vessels had crept into Feng Qing'er's eyes. "Speak, what do you want from me? Have you made enemies and want to seek the protection of the Wind Thunder Pavilion?"

"You've misunderstood." Xiao Yan tossed the Sect Breaking Pill to Feng Qing'er, then took out a handful of Pills, most of which were Sixth Grade Pill, and a small portion of them were even seventh-grade pills.

"I am a human Alchemist, by chance, acquired the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon. If I cannot explain this clearly, I will surely be hunted down by the Ancient Void Dragon."

"Therefore, I want to find Magical Beast that is hostile to the Ancient Void Dragon. And you, who made the Ancient Void Dragon Bloodline in my body feel disgusted, must be an enemy of the Ancient Void Dragon. Judging from the looks of it, it should be the Heavenly Demon Phoenix."

"I am, after all, a high-level Alchemist. I believe the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would not refuse the service of a high-level Alchemist, would they?"

Feng Qing'er glanced at Xiao Yan, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed to her. She nodded and said, "Of course not."

"That's good—there's still some crimson energy left at the bottom of the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool, which should be enough for you to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm. As for the Fire Toxin, I can lend you the Green Lotus Core Flame, how about that?" Xiao Yan continued.

Feng Qing'er felt as if she were bathed in a gentle breeze. With a slightly reserved demeanor, she extended one hand to Xiao Yan, allowing him to leave a blue lotus mark on her palm.

"Heh, next time we meet, I'll be Dou Zong. I hope you won't fall too far behind." Feng Qing'er walked up to Mu Qingluan and looked down at her.

Mu Qingluan clearly saw that Feng Qing'er's eyes were filled with deep red blood vessels and intense desire. She sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't say anything to remind her—the two of them didn't get along anyway.

After Feng Qing'er left triumphantly, Mu Qingluan approached Xiao Yan with a light hum and said, "There are many loopholes in your words! Even if the Ancient Void Dragon will hunt you down, you can still seek refuge with the Ancient Void Dragon. The Ancient Void Dragon cannot refuse a high-level Alchemist."

"Are you from the Starfall Pavilion?" Xiao Yan asked.

Seeing Mu Qingluan nod, Xiao Yan took out another Sect Breaking Pill and threw it to Mu Qingluan: "Your humming can't stop my influence, but my teacher has some connection with the Starfall Pavilion, so I'll give you a Sect Breaking Pill!"

Then, ignoring Xiao Yan Ying who leaned forward to say something, Tang Ying took out the dark gold skull and tossed it to Jin Shi, asking, "Have you collected all the Medicinal Herbs yet?"

"All collected, now we're just waiting for the master to emerge from seclusion." Jin Shi forced a smile.

Although it was unclear what this incredibly wealthy Alchemist was thinking, Jin Shi knew that all he needed to do was smile.

"Master, I am Tang Ying from the Myriad Sword Pavilion. I presume you are in seclusion at that volcano, refining the Green Lotus Core Flame?" Tang Ying asked as he approached.

"You have a problem with that?"

"..." Tang Ying was speechless, but he couldn't retaliate. He had clearly seen that there were Seventh Grade Pill among that pile of Pills!

Even his teacher, the Venerable Ling Jian, treated Seventh Grade Alchemist with utmost respect, let alone a mere Peak Dou Emperor.

Jin Shi led Xiao Yan away— the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill requires the Magical Core a sixth-order dragon-type Magical Beast that has died within seven days. Since it was unknown when Xiao Yan would emerge from seclusion, Jin Shi could only capture two Magical Beast alive, which had not yet been processed.

Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Tang Ying sighed and turned to look at Mu Qingluan, who seemed lost in thought, and asked, "Venerable Feng has been looking for Venerable Yao. He said his teacher had a past with the Starfall Pavilion. Could his teacher be Venerable Yao?"

"Heh... who knows?" Thinking of some recent rumors, Mu Qingluan put away the Sect Breaking Pill and gave Tang Ying a meaningful smile.

Tang Ying thought about Feng Qing'er, who had been hit by some kind of Dou Technique, and then about the Green Lotus Core Flame mark on her hand. Finally, he sighed and left dejectedly.

After confirming that Tang Ying had left and wouldn't ruin Xiao Yan's plans, Mu Qingluan followed closely behind, flapping her wings and flying away...

Although only two Magical Core Jin Shi were prepared, which is equivalent to only one set of materials for the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Xiao Yan didn't say anything and directly started refining the pill.

After being nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Array for half a year and devouring the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Xiao Yan broke through to the Four Star Dou Zong, his Soul Realm broke through to the Late Spirit Realm, and his Flame Mantra directly evolved to the Heaven Tier Low-Level!

Xiao Yan encountered no difficulty in refining the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, and in one fell swoop, he advanced it to the level of the Eighth Grade Four-Color Pill Lightning!

As for the Heavenly Demon Puppet whose hands had been destroyed by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it was completely restored after absorbing the energy of the Four-Colored Pill Lightning, and even the golden area on its body expanded considerably.

Not long after refining the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Feng Qing'er emerged from seclusion and delivered it to Xiao Yan's door, following his aura.

"Your Heavenly Flames." Feng Qing'er's expression was cold. More than ten days had passed, and having broken through her cultivation realm, she was no longer affected by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Naturally, she wouldn't give Xiao Yan, who possessed the Ancient Void Dragon Bloodline, a pleasant look.

Xiao Yan withdrew the Green Lotus Core Flame, and then...

"Roar!"

Without any preamble, Xiao Yan unleashed a Lion's Roar Shakes the Eight Directions. Feng Qing'er had no idea that Xiao Yan would suddenly attack, and had no time to dodge, so she was hit squarely by the roar.

Feng Qing'er, who took the blow head-on, bled from all seven orifices and had a splitting headache. She didn't even have the strength to run away.

Xiao Yan gripped Feng Qing'er's shoulders tightly with both hands, pressed his head close to Feng Qing'er, opened his mouth wide, and unleashed Lion's Roar Shakes the Eight Directions that echoed in all directions!

"Roar!"

Feng Qing'er could no longer bear it, and strands of red and white fluid flowed from her nostrils. Then, a flash of light appeared, and a fairly complete Seventh Tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix body appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

Six sixes bring good fortune, wishing for good luck.
