Burning Flame Valley

Xiao Yan calmly dealt with the Magical Beast's corpse, taking out its Magical Core, cutting off its Wind-Thunder Wings, and then refining the remaining parts into Essence Blood.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix is one of the three major demonic beast races, and its fearsome reputation is widespread. However, it is actually just so-so. No force with the background of a Battle Saint would give up its essence blood demon core and the flying combat techniques made from its wings.

The Central Continent's Space Auction frequently auctions off the corpses of Eighth Grade Heavenly Demon Phoenix, yet the Heavenly Demon Phoenix never utters a sound.

After Xiao Yan finished dealing with the situation, he left the Tian Mu Mountain Range and returned to the Ye Family.

"Xiao Yan!"

It was the familiar headbutt again, but Xiao Yan noticed that Zi Yan seemed to have grown up a bit, and looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

"You've reached the Dou Zong? Not bad!" Xiao Yan casually took out a small cookie made from Seventh Tier Magical Core and handed it to Zi Yan. Then, with the latter following him, he went to Ye Zhong to inquire about the sale of the Prosperous Fire.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Yan's eyes fell on the unfamiliar red-haired old man and the woman in red standing beside him.

"Hehe, young friend Xiao Yan has finally returned. This is Tang Zhen, the Burning Flame Valley Master, and his daughter, Tang Huo'er."

After introducing the two, Ye Zhong looked at Tang Zhen with a sigh of relief and said, "This is Xiao Yan, the Eighth Grade Alchemist I mentioned. He is also my daughter's teacher. He is the one who bestowed the Nong Yan Jue upon my Ye Family. If you want to exchange it, you need his permission."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's eyes flashed with shock, then he smiled and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! I never imagined that Master Xiao Yan would be so young!"

After making a polite remark, Tang Zhen cleared his throat and said, "To be honest, what my Burning Flame Valley's Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations needs most is a powerful flame. The first transformation can use the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, but the second and third transformations can only use ordinary Beast Flame."

"I've heard that the flames created by the Nong Yan Jue Prosperous Fire Technique are comparable to Heavenly Flames. I bought one to try it out, and it is indeed much stronger than the original Beast Flame."

"Therefore, I have come here rashly to purchase the Nong Yan Jue. However, please rest assured, Master, my Burning Flame Valley will only use the Prosperous Fire- Making Technique for our own purposes and will never compete with the Ye Family for business."

"What is your opinion, Master?"

"Sure! I'll trade you the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire." Xiao Yan sat down in the chair Ye Zhong had prepared, speaking casually.

"..." Tang Zhen choked, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Even if Master is unwilling to make the exchange, there is no need to play tricks on this old man like this, is there?"

"Why do you think I'm making fun of you?" Xiao Yan asked, his face full of confusion.

Seeing Xiao Yan's puzzled look, Tang Zhen decided not to lie and softened his tone considerably. "This Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire has been passed down in my Burning Flame Valley for hundreds of years. Generations of powerful figures have imprinted indelible Blood Soul Mark on the source of the fire, making it an indispensable part of my Burning Flame Valley's heritage!"

Xiao Yan smacked his lips, his expression even more puzzled. "The Nong Yan Jue can create Prosperous Fire comparable to Heavenly Flames. Although it is difficult, it can be mass-produced after all. Do you think it can be an indispensable inheritance for a major power?"

"As far as I know, every generation of Valley Masters of Burning Flame Valley is injured to some extent when passing on the Heavenly Flames. In comparison, isn't the Prosperous Fire, which each Valley Master can cultivate independently, safer and more stable?"

"Furthermore, the three Prosperous Fire, comparable to Heavenly Flames, when activated by the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, should be no less powerful than a Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and two Beast Flame, and perhaps even slightly superior?"

"Furthermore, your Burning Flame Valley has left an indelible Blood Soul Mark on the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire's origin. If I fail to refine it after the exchange, I will return the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to your Burning Flame Valley. How about that?"

Tang Zhen fell into deep thought. What Xiao Yan said seemed to make some sense, but the thought of exchanging the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, the most important weapon of Burning Flame Valley, for a special Dou Technique made Tang Zhen feel uneasy.

Even though Xiao Yan said he would repay the debt if he failed, Tang Zhen still couldn't make a decision.

However, before Tang Zhen could answer, Tang Huo'er couldn't hold back any longer. "After saying all that, you still covet our Burning Flame Valley's Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire!"

Xiao Yan glanced at her, took a sip of tea, and ignored her.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire will definitely be passed down to Tang Huo'er. Seeing that the Heavenly Flames in her hands was about to fly away, Xiao Yan could understand why she was anxious and called out a few times.

"Huo'er, don't be rude!"

Xiao Yan remained silent, but Tang Zhen couldn't remain silent either. Upon closer examination, it turned out that Burning Flame Valley had been the first to covet the other party's Nong Yan Jue.

After scolding Tang Huo'er, Tang Zhen said apologetically, "Master, please don't be offended. Huo'er has been spoiled by me since she was a child, which has made her arrogant and has offended you."

"It's alright." Xiao Yan took another sip of tea.

"After much deliberation, I still cannot easily offer the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire for trade," Tang Zhen continued.

"Forget about the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, I'm also very interested in the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations."

"Hmm?" Tang Zhen's eyes lit up. Although the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations was also a treasure of the valley, it was far less important than the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire. So he quickly said, "Master, do you want to exchange the Nong Yan Jue for the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations? As long as you promise not to spread it, I can agree."

"No, I plan to exchange it for a fire control technique comparable to a Heavenly Tier Dou Technique, the Five Wheel Leaving Fire Method." Xiao Yan shook his head and took out a scroll, tossing it to Tang Zhen.

"Comparable to Heavenly Tier Dou Technique..." Tang Zhen's hand, which was holding the scroll, trembled slightly. Such a valuable item was given away directly? This master is a truly honest person!

Tang Zhen, who had secretly resolved to befriend Xiao Yan, glanced at the description of the technique and immediately looked distressed. "Master, it requires the power of four Heavenly Flames to be comparable to Heavenly Tier Dou Technique. Isn't that too demanding?"

"You can use the Prosperous Fire instead!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"..." Tang Zhen sighed. So that's what they were waiting for.

Xiao Yan did not continue to persuade him, but changed the subject. "I vaguely remember that although the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations is the treasure of Burning Flame Valley, it was actually created by my Xiao Family Xiao Xuan and then passed on to your Ancestor Fen Tian."

"Now that my Xiao Family has lost its lineage, only the Burning Flame Valley has preserved the relatively complete Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations. I have no choice but to try to ask your Burning Flame Valley for it."

Tang Zhen looked thoughtful. What Xiao Yan said was indeed recorded in the Burning Flame Valley, especially the name Xiao Xuan, which was something that ordinary people would never know.

"It seems that Master has this connection with our Burning Flame Valley." Tang Zhen flipped his hand, putting away the Five Wheel Leaving Fire Method, and then continued, "The inheritance of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations is in the Burning Flame Valley's Skill Pavilion. Why don't you come to my Burning Flame Valley for a few days and receive the inheritance?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement without refusing, saying, "Okay."

Too late

I was too tired yesterday

I overslept today.
