What Are You Looking at? Start the Feast!

Just as the Yao Clan didn't take the Old Yao seriously, the Yan Clan didn't regard the Yao Clan as anything special either.

Although Alchemist are worthy of respect, the Pills needed by Dou Sheng level are all grade nine or higher, and the role of Pill Beast is pitifully small.

Although the Yao Clan has only a few Ninth Grade Alchemist, they would never refine medicine for other Ancient Race.

As for the Eighth Grade Alchemist needed below the Dou Sheng, the Ancient Race have Heavenly Grade Cultivation Method and Soul Cultivation Method, so they can raise them themselves and don't need to find the Yao Clan.

In that case, the strongmen of the Yao Clan are no different from those who are Dou Sheng, and their combat power is even weaker.

Among the Ancient Race, the Yao Clan was also ranked near the bottom.

"Ahem, it seems you and your teacher have a very good relationship!" Mang Tianchi interrupted them.

After the excitement was over and the Yao Clan had their fill of laughter, Mang Tianchi naturally stepped forward to play the good guy.

We can't just watch these kids fight.

"Han Feng is indeed dead. Speaking of which, he even tried to 'offer' the Heavenly Flames to me in order to gain my forgiveness." Mang Tianchi revealed a mocking smile, "I don't understand where he got his confidence from. Killing him, wouldn't the Heavenly Flames still be mine?"

In fact, Han Feng also mentioned a technique that could Fusion Heavenly Flame to evolve, in an attempt to impress Mang Tianchi.

But...

You're so old and still stuck at the Peak Dou Emperor, unable to break through to Dou Zong. How strong can your cultivation technique be?

You even Fusion Heavenly Flame? Why don't you just fly to the heavens?

However, seeing that Xiao Yan seemed somewhat concerned, Mang Tianchi subconsciously became wary.

"Thank you for avenging my master, senior." Xiao Yan didn't say anything more.

"It was nothing, really. Ultimately, it's just that Han Feng offended me, it has nothing to do with your teacher." Mang Tianchi waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.

Seeing Mang Tianchi's forthright attitude, Xiao Yan immediately made up his mind and took out a scroll to give to Mang Tianchi, saying:

"Senior founded Jia Nan Academy, benefiting the world, and then bestowed the Fallen Heart Flame upon us juniors. We admire you greatly and beg you not to refuse."

Since things had come to this point, Mang Tianchi couldn't refuse, so he took the scroll, glanced at the two Dou Zun following behind Xiao Yan Xun'er, and said, "Your Gu Clan's son-in-law is quite good."

Generally speaking, men who marry into another family don't have a good reputation.

This applies to both men and women. When people are not of equal social standing, it is inevitable that there will be gossip. Those of lower status will be envious and jealous, while those of higher status will look down on you.

Mang Tianchi, as Patriarch, made his praise of Xiao Yan particularly meaningful.

This made Xun'er very happy.

However, Xun'er felt that Mang Tianchi might not know Brother Xiao Yan well enough.

Back in the Ancient Realm, Xiao Yan used the excuse of teaching the Xiao Clan Heavenly Tier Dou Technique to shut up those old guys, and spent all his time with Xun'er.

However, what those old guys didn't know was that Xiao Yan had already passed on all of the Xiao Clan's heritage to Xun'er.

"What's mine is yours!"

Xiao Yan dispelled Xun'er's entire intention to refuse with just one sentence.

Xiao Yan is incredibly generous to those he cares about. When Mang Tianchi helped Old Yao take revenge, Xiao Yan's reward was definitely not simple.

So Xun'er said to Mang Tianchi, "Senior, why don't you take a look at what Brother Xiao Yan gave us?"

Mang Tianchi was taken aback. He didn't take the scroll Xiao Yan gave him seriously at all. What could a mere Dou Emperor possibly have to impress Half-Saint like himself?

But since she was the eldest daughter of the Gu Clan, Mang Tianchi took out the scroll and glanced at it.

His pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes widened sharply, and even his nostrils flared up considerably—this was a Heavenly Tier Dou Technique.

Mang Tianchi glanced at Xiao Yan with suspicion, only to find that the boy still had a cheerful expression on his face, completely disregarding this Heavenly Tier Dou Technique.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that behind Xiao Yan stood a simple, unadorned middle-aged man dressed in linen clothes.

"Hiss..."

If he was just a little shocked before, now Mang Tianchi was experiencing difficulty breathing and cardiac arrest.

The scroll of Heavenly Tier Dou Technique in his hand now seemed like a hot potato.

The moment Mang Tianchi saw Gu Yuan, he forgot all about Xiao Yan and instantly "understood" that this scroll of Heavenly Tier Dou Technique was actually Gu Yuan's work.

Considering the information Han Feng revealed before his death, Xiao Yan's identity, and so on, Mang Tianchi understood everything.

Everything is going according to Gu Yuan's plan!

This Heavenly Grade Cultivation Method was also arranged by Gu Yuan, but it was all for the sake of this Sea Heart Flame!

Having "figured it out," Mang Tianchi no longer hesitated and directly tossed the Sea Heart Flame to the Dou Zun following behind Xiao Yan Xun'er.

This Heavenly Flames, ranked fifteenth, appeared extremely docile in the hands of Dou Zun expert, completely lacking its world-destroying power.

"I won't take advantage of you." Mang Tianchi said to Gu Yuan, then quickly contacted the elders of the Lei Clan to tell them that Gu Yuan had arrived.

As the Ancient Clan Chief and Peak Dou Saint, things changed the moment Gu Yuan appeared here.

Mang Tianchi lacked the strength and status to investigate Gu Yuan's purpose, and even contacting the Lei Clan required Gu Yuan's tacit approval.

The other three Ancient Race also turned their attention to the scroll that Xiao Yan had taken out, and they were curious about why Mang Tianchi would react this way.

Then they saw Gu Yuan and immediately contacted their respective elders to relay this important news.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect to see such a good show!"

Just then, a sound that evoked both physical and psychological disgust rang out.

He was a middle-aged man with pitch-black eyes, a hawk-like gaze, and an ominous Black Mist surrounding him, exuding a bloodthirsty yet chilling aura, making the word "villain" practically written on his face.

"Your Soul Hall also wants to get involved?" Mang Tianchi's face instantly showed displeasure.

The Gu Clan Yan Clan Yao Clan, and Spirit Clan all paid their "tickets"!

Although Mang Tianchi didn't care much about the Fallen Heart Flame, he wouldn't mind giving it to a student of the Jia Nan Academy or any other rogue cultivator with a special affinity.

As a member of the Lei Clan, Mang Tianchi regarded this as charity.

However, the other Ancient Race are different. They are all of similar size and are in a competitive relationship. The Mang Tianchi cannot be given away for free.

Therefore, anyone wanting to get involved had to pay, and since the Soul Clan hadn't paid, Mang Tianchi naturally didn't give them a friendly look.

"Hehehe, I've heard that the Fallen Heart Flame can refine souls, so my Soul Clan has specially prepared some 'bait'." The villain didn't care at all about Mang Tianchi's disdainful expression. With a flick of his hand, a cloud of Black Mist drifted out and landed in the center of the crowd.

A gust of Nether Wind suddenly arose, and when the Black Mist dissipated, ten blurry souls appeared before everyone's eyes.

These soul entities all exuded the aura of Initial Dou Ancestor, seemingly the souls of Dou Zong powerhouses. However, upon closer inspection, it could be discovered that their bodies were covered with countless human faces, as if they were pieced together from countless souls.

"Hehehe, the Lava World is so vast, it might not be easy for you to directly search for the Fallen Heart Flame. However, with such excellent 'bait,' you can 'fish' with peace of mind."

The middle-aged man looked very confident. Of course he had a scheme, but he wasn't afraid that Mang Tianchi would find out, nor was he worried about being rejected.

"Kill him."

"Boom!"

The next moment, the Gu Clan Elder rushed forward and annihilated ten evil souls with a single slap, then engaged in battle with the middle-aged man.

Even his forehead had a purple mark lit up, clearly indicating that he was activating his Clan Mark to enhance his strength, hoping to quickly subdue this middle-aged man from the Soul Clan.

The previously suppressed Sea Heart Flame has now transformed into a small flame, wandering at Gu Yuan's fingertips.

Gu Yuan glanced at the two locked in combat, then waved his hand, and Xiao Yan, Xun'er, the Yan Clan woman and the Dou Zong elder, the Yao Clan man and the Dou Zong elder entered the Lava World.

As for the members of the Spirit Clan, they were taken away by the Spirit Clan Patriarch who rushed over.

Clearly, the Spirit Clan did not want to get involved in what was to come.

In the eyes of the Spirit Clan Patriarch, Gu Yuan's order to directly attack the Soul Clan was a very dangerous signal, and the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan might soon go to war.

Therefore, the Spirit Clan Patriarch ran very fast.

Gu Yuan played with the Sea Heart Flame, looked at Yan Jin Lei Ying Yao Dan and the other two who had been left behind, and smiled slightly, saying, "You flatter me. My daughter is useless. She got together with a boy from the Xiao Clan. Unfortunately, he cultivates a technique that requires him to devour Heavenly Flames, so I had no choice but to swallow my pride and help him."

"What kind of cultivation technique requires devouring Heavenly Flames? Are you trying to make fun of us?" Yan Jin narrowed his eyes, sensing that Gu Yuan might be trying to steal the Heavenly Flames from the Yan Clan.

Lei Ying didn't speak, but Mang Tianchi wisely went to fight the Soul Clan and didn't participate in the exchange among these big shots.

Yao Dan was also wary; if the Gu Clan were to attack the Yao Clan, the Yao Clan would truly have no way to resist.

Gu Yuan seemed oblivious to their reactions and said calmly, "It's a cultivation technique from the Dou Di Relic back then, called the Flame Mantra. It starts at the Yellow Tier Low and can devour Heavenly Flames to evolve, as well as fuse Exotic Flame Fusion."

"Xiao Yan has now devoured a large amount of Beast Flame, a Green Lotus Core Flame, and a Subordinate Flame of Life, barely evolving the Flame Mantra to the Di Tier. If he wants to break through to the Heavenly Tier, he will probably need one or two more high-ranking Heavenly Flames, or four or five low-ranking Heavenly Flames."

At this point, Gu Yuan glanced at the Yao Dan with a strange look and continued, "It was Yao Chen who found it."

Yao Dan was immediately confused. He had no idea who Yao Chen was, but considering the surname and Gu Yuan's reaction, Yao Chen seemed to be related to the Yao Clan.

"So?" Yan Jin's fighting Dou Qi had already begun to circulate, not only wary of Gu Yuan, but also wary of Lei Ying.

The Lei Clan didn't have any Heavenly Flames, and Mang Tianchi even exchanged the Heavenly Flames he acquired for a scroll.

"Although Xiao Yan is my son-in-law, I cannot sacrifice the interests of the Gu Clan too much for his sake. Therefore, I sent him into the Heavenly Tomb to inherit Xiao Xuan's legacy."

"After talking with him, he was willing to give up a portion of it in exchange for the Heavenly Flames."

At this point, the three Patriarch all showed strange expressions.

"That kid probably gave you all his inheritance, right? It's a pity that Xiao Xuan waited so many years in the Heavenly Tomb, only to end up with a Gu Clan's son-in-law!" Lei Ying retorted immediately.

Since the Lei Clan doesn't have Heavenly Flames and can't buy the Xiao Clan's inheritance anyway, they might as well ruin this whole thing.

Gu Yuan ignored Lei Ying and looked at Yan Jin meaningfully, saying, "I remember you forcibly fused the seventh-ranked Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire with the seventeenth-ranked Volcanic Stone Flame, making it comparable in power to my Gu Clan's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame."

"How about it? How about we exchange your Yan Clan's Eight Desolations Destruction Flame for the Flame Mantra? Perhaps the remaining four Exotic Flame Fusion, won't be inferior to the Nihility Devouring Flame?"

Yan Jin took a deep breath and almost agreed, but reason told him that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he said in a deep voice, "My Yan Clan has its own inherited cultivation methods, and I believe that Flame Emperor's cultivation methods are more suitable for our Yan Clan."

Yao Dan nodded in agreement, though he did want it, but he didn't say so.

Even without Heavenly Flames, a group of Dou Zun can cultivate the Flame Mantra, fuse several Beast Flame, and create a flame that is closer to Heavenly Flames.

Yao Dan believed that Yan Jin must think the same way.

The group fell silent.

Gu Yuan certainly wouldn't want to reveal the core inheritance of the Xiao Clan, and they wouldn't be willing to spend a lot of money to buy those more ordinary Heavenly Grade Cultivation Method and Dou Technique.

For a moment, they were frozen in place.

After considering the bottom price offered by Xiao Yan and weighing the time required to successfully practice the Formation, Gu Yuan sighed and said, "How about exchanging the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Earth Array for the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?"

"The Heavenly Earth Array? The same Formation that's as famous as the Soul Clan's Spirit Devouring Life Annihilation Array?" Lei Ying exclaimed in surprise, his breathing becoming heavy.

That Formation was used to deal with Dou Emperor in ancient times.

"Red Lotus Karmic Fire plus Fire Cloud Water Flame, and then add Xiao Xuan's Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations." Yan Jin slashed with his sword.

"Eight Desolations Destruction Flame plus Fire Cloud Water Flame".

"Add Flame Mantra."

"Can."

The Heavenly Earth Array appeared, Yan Jin's mental defenses were instantly broken down, and both of them were willing to make a deal, so they reached an agreement immediately.

They didn't give Lei Ying a chance to interrupt.

"Then I'll congratulate Patriarch Yan Jin on breaking through to the Nine-star Dou Sheng in advance," Gu Yuan said with a smile.

Yan Jin couldn't help but smile, which made Lei Ying even more unhappy.

"If Patriarch Lei Ying can find the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, breaking through to the Nine-star Dou Sheng will be just around the corner!" Gu Yuan said slowly.

"If I can find..." Lei Ying suddenly thought of something, and a hint of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

"In ancient times, our Gu Clan also commissioned someone to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill, leaving behind a Nine Profound Golden Thunder." Gu Yuan confirmed Lei Ying's conjecture.

"What do you want? My Lei Clan doesn't have any Heavenly Flames!"

"I want the Thunder Inheritance Thunder Pool of your Lei Clan."

"Impossible!" Lei Ying shouted, his hair and beard bristling. "Unless you add the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Wrath Soul Breaking Finger and World Annihilation Silent Spirit Palm to the mix!"

"Can."

Lei Ying's impending outburst instantly subsided, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

What kind of Inheritance Thunder Pool this? At worst, I'll refine the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, then use Secret Technique to gather thunder for a hundred years and recreate a Thunder Pool!

Seeing that Yan Jin Lei Ying a great harvest, Yao Dan took a deep breath and felt that it was his turn.

As expected, Gu Yuan and Yao Dan's eyes met, and Gu Yuan said calmly, "Patriarch Yan Jin, I remember that the Yao Clan seems to have two Heavenly Flames."

Updated, but the sleep schedule adjustment failed.
