Body Burning Valley

"Boom..."

As the Pills took shape, dense thunderclouds gathered above the Burning Flame Valley.

Streaks of lightning continuously pierced through the thick, dark clouds. Tang Zhen could see clearly that the lightning bolts had four different colors.

"Gulp..." Tang Zhen swallowed hard. He had thought that Xiao Yan's statement about advancing to the eighth rank meant the level of the eighth-rank one-color pill thunder, and that he was preparing the reward based on the eighth-rank one-color pill thunder.

This Pills has now directly attracted Eighth Grade Four-Color Pill Lightning! This is on a completely different level from Eighth Grade, one-colored Pill Lightning!

"Father, can you afford the price of this kind of Pills?" Tang Huo'er asked softly.

"I'm afraid we'll have to bring out some of our best, most treasured items." Tang Zhen gasped, then stepped forward and said, "I'll handle this Pill Lightning!"

"No need." Xiao Yan shook his head, then touched his Storage Ring, and a figure in gold and silver appeared beside him, before soaring into the sky and disappearing into the dark clouds.

Once the Heavenly Demon Puppet has completely devoured these Eighth Grade Four-Color Pill Lightning, it should be able to evolve its silver luster into gold, making it comparable to a three- or four- Dou Zun.

"You actually know how to make puppets?"

A surprised voice came, and Xiao Yan looked closely. A red-haired old man had appeared beside Tang Huo'er at some point.

"Want it? This refining method isn't something I can't sell." After saying that, Xiao Yan immediately took out a bamboo scroll from his Storage Ring.

"..." ×3

"Ahem, no need." Old Ancestor Huoyun changed the subject, glanced at Zi Yan beside Xiao Yan, and then suddenly asked, "What do you think of my granddaughter, Tang Huo'er?"

"At such a young age, you are already a Dou Zong powerhouse, a top genius even in the Central Continent," Xiao Yan said politely.

"Then why don't you marry her? I'm also acquainted with your teacher, so it's good to keep the good stuff in the family!" Old Ancestor Huoyun clapped his hands suddenly.

"You know my teacher?" Xiao Yan was surprised, then smiled at Tang Huo'er, "Come on, Huo'er, call him Uncle!"

Old Ancestor Huoyun's expression was not good - "I personally acted as your matchmaker, and you refused, fine, but what do you mean by humiliating my precious granddaughter?"

However, before he could react, Xiao Yan tossed the Fire Bodhi Pill, which had upgraded him to the Eighth Grade Four-Color Pill Lightning, to Tang Huo'er and said, "Since you are my niece, consider this Pills a gift! I don't want any reward."

"..." Old Ancestor Huoyun hesitated, looking at the arrogant brat in front of him, but didn't know what to say.

Eighth Grade Alchemist, Xiao Yan's status is basically equivalent to Tang Zhen's. Strictly speaking, Xiao Yan should be happy to become Tang Huo'er's uncle.

However, Old Ancestor Huoyun couldn't suppress his anger and really wanted to go up and beat up this pretentious brat.

Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er stared at each other, both wanting to give in, but they dared not admit it until the Old Ancestor Huoyun spoke!

"Oh, right, I have two wives now. My first wife is One-star Dou Zun, Eighth Grade Alchemist; my second wife Three-star Dou Zun, Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. Let's get together sometime and get to know each other," Xiao Yan said as if he had just remembered.

"Huo'er, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank your Uncle Xiao for his kindness!" Tang Zhen blurted out.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao..." Tang Huo'er's voice grew softer and softer under the glare of Old Ancestor Huoyun, and finally she lowered her head.

"Hmph!" Old Ancestor Huoyun snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

"Senior must be Old Ancestor Huoyun, the previous Burning Flame Valley Master, right?" Xiao Yan asked.

"So what if it is?"

"Oh, it's like this. I heard that the previous Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley suffered some hidden injuries when he was separating the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire. I wonder what he is like now..." Xiao Yan paused and did not continue.

"It's not healed yet." Old Ancestor Huoyun pouted. "I thought it would gradually recover as my cultivation level increased, but now that I have broken through to the Dou Sheng, the hidden injury still hasn't been resolved. In fact, it's become even more difficult to heal because of my Dou Sheng cultivation level."

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "My teacher's Soul Realm is already sufficient. He is currently breaking through to the Dou Sheng. If he succeeds, he will be able to refine Ninth Grade Pill, which should be able to heal your hidden injuries."

"..." Old Ancestor Huoyun hesitated for a moment, then refused, "Forget it, this hidden injury has been with me for most of my life, I'm used to it."

"I won't charge you any reward, as long as Burning Flame Valley opposes the Soul Hall more often."

"Do you even need to tell me? My Burning Flame Valley has always disliked those sneaky things from the Soul Hall!" Old Ancestor Huoyun snorted coldly, then remained silent for a moment before asking, "When will your teacher be able to emerge from seclusion?"

"In just the last two years, Senior has already been able to collect Medicinal Herbs," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Old Ancestor Huoyun nodded, then instructed Tang Zhen, "Take the two of them to Body Burning Valley!"

"This..." Tang Zhen was startled, but the Old Ancestor Huoyun did not say anything more. His sleeves disappeared in a moment.

"Body Burning Valley, that name sounds like the place where the Burning Flame Valley has its most secret inheritance, right? Would it be inappropriate for Zi Yan and me to go there?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Sigh... It's not a matter of whether it's appropriate or not. Since the ancestor has spoken, naturally no one will have any objections. However, the Body Burning Valley is generally used for tempering the body of Peak Dou Zong, which can open up the path to breaking through to Dou Zun."

"But precisely because of this, those with insufficient cultivation are easily burned by the flames, causing their strength to regress."

"You have a powerful Heavenly Flames protecting you, so there's nothing to worry about, but this young lady..."

Zi Yan was about to bar her teeth when she heard Tang Zhen look down on her, but Xiao Yan held her down, saying, "I will use my Heavenly Flames to protect her."

Zi Yan immediately lowered her head obediently and reluctantly hummed.

"With the protection of the Heavenly Flames, there shouldn't be any problems." Tang Zhen nodded, gave Tang Huo'er a few instructions, and then led Xiao Yan Zi Yan to the depths of Burning Flame Valley.

The three arrived above a volcano. The continuous volcanoes formed a large circle, and the valleys inside were filled with crimson flames.

Upon closer inspection, the flames were seen erupting from cracks on the mountain's surface, suggesting their origin was deep within the volcano.

"This is the Body Burning Valley - although its effects are very strong, it is also very dangerous, so hardly anyone comes here on weekdays."

"But you must remember that if you feel thirsty, it means your body is close to its limit. At this time, you should leave as soon as possible. If you hesitate, the water in your body will be burned off."

After saying that, Tang Zhen handed the two of them two fiery red Jade Token: "If you are accidentally injured by the Burning Fire, use your Soul Power to activate these Jade Tokens. They can distort space and isolate the Burning Fire. I will come over immediately."

Xiao Yan accepted the Jade Token, leaving a deep purple Flame Mark on Zi Yan's palm. Then, he swooped down and plunged into the scorching valley.
