Finally Meeting Yao Lao

The White Rock Python never understood why it had died at the hands of a Dou Wang.

To put it in a ridiculous way, even when Xiao Aotian was Seven-Star Dou Wang, it would have taken him a lot of effort to kill this White Rock Python! The reason I didn't use Yang Shan as an example is because when Yang Shan was Seven-Star Dou Wang, he had already refined the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.

Killing a sixth-tier early-stage Thousand Beast King is child's play for Bai Su'an, yet he possesses combat power comparable to Xiao Aotian at the same level. Yang Shan seems to see the future of Array Inscriptionist in Bai Su'an!

Unlike weapon crafting and medicine refining.

Array seals can be used in battle! Moreover, the activation of most array seal magic treasures does not require too much Dou Qi.

With a multitude of array seals and magical treasures on his body, fighting against opponents of higher levels doesn't seem to be difficult for someone like Bai Su'an.

No wonder Bai Su'an dared to boast that he would help Tie Yang and Yao Xi level up.

The Old Taoist Priest Array Inscriptionist are limited by their improvement speed. Even Bai Su'an, with his innate advantages and enough opportunities, plus the resource support of four Top Player — Yang Shan, Su Yitang, Chao Bafang, and Zhu Tianpeng —is only at the sixth-grade level now.

By the time Bai Su'an breaks through to the seventh-grade Array Inscriptionist, Yang Shan will probably already be looking forward to becoming Dou Zun.

Yang Shan pondered whether to sign another contract with Bai Su'an, making Bai Su'an work for him for ten years.

In this way, if Yang Shan obtains any treasures or inheritances related to array seals in the future, he can simply give them all to Bai Su'an.

Who knows, we might actually cultivate an Eighth-Tier Array Inscriptionist who's invincible in positional warfare! After Yang Shan landed, Little Yao Xi immediately ran over and handed Yang Shan a drink:

"Handsome Uncle, please have my favorite Lemon Green Tea!"

Tie Yang and Bai Su'an also quickly came over to greet them:

"Hello President Yang!"

Yang Shan: "Grandpa Bai An, you've really startled me. Even when I was Seven-Star Dou Wang, I probably wasn't as powerful as you!"

Bai Su'an: "Hey, President Yang, you're flattering me too much. Although I'm old, my eyes are still sharp. When President Yang Seven-Star Dou Wang, killing Dou Emperor was like cutting melons and vegetables. I'm different. These magical treasures of mine take a long time just to repair and recharge."

The advantages and disadvantages of array seal magic treasures are too obvious. Whether they can fight for a long time depends entirely on the energy of the array seal magic treasures.

If the energy of a magic array treasure is replenished with Spirit Stone, then it's truly a waste of money.

In addition to the crafting process, the profession of Array Inscriptionist is even more expensive than alchemy and weapon crafting.

Yang Shan didn't spend too much time being polite with Tie Yang and Bai Su'an.

He came here specifically to pick up Little Yao Xi.

Little Yao Xi is probably the player with the highest favorability with Yao Lao right now.

In one version, the Yao Lao even taught Little Yao Xi for several months!

Little Yao Xi also received a portion of Yao Lao's inheritance, which gave her an extra boost in success rate when refining medicine.

He was even comparable to Yang Shan at one point! You should know that Yang Shan's alchemy was backed by the Sea Heart Flame and the Spirit Realm Soul.

The mini-games he needs to play when refining Sixth Grade Pill are about the same difficulty as other players refining fourth-grade pills!

Since Little Yao Xi saw Yao Lao's illusion, Little Yao Xi Yao Lao is very likely to take the initiative to find Little Yao Xi when she comes to the Black-Corner Region.

Therefore, by following Little Yao Xi, we might be able to find Yao Lao's whereabouts first.

Old Man Tie Yang entrusted his granddaughter to Yang Shan with complete peace of mind.

Little Yao Xi's current level is not high; she is only Two-Star Dou Wang.

Little Yao Xi's leveling method is very simple.

Tie Yang and Bai Su'an worked together to craft a full twenty Dou Wang Puppet for her! In addition, Tie Yang crafted a set of spiritual weapon equipment, Bai Su'an prepared more than a dozen array seal magic treasures.

Little Yao Xi only needed to sneak into the Magical Beast Mountain Range whenever she had a spare moment, and she could easily sweep through the Magical Beast Mountain Range without even lifting a finger! Yang Shan changed his and Little Yao Xi's appearances and wandered around the Black-Corner Region.

Opportunities are something you can only encounter, not seek.

Then I can only wander around randomly and try my luck.

As a result, Little Yao Xi had a great time after spending almost two days out, but there was still no news from Yao Lao.

With Little Yao Xi's online time limit approaching, Yang Shan Little Yao Xi arranged for her to stay in a room at the inn.

Little Yao Xi leaped onto the soft bedding, excitedly exclaiming:

"Handsome Uncle, I'll be logging off now!"

Yang Shan smiled and said, "Okay, keep up the good work in your studies."

After Little Yao Xi logged off, Yang Shan scratched his head in distress.

Two days were wasted. It seems that relying solely on Little Yao Xi won't work. After all, the illusion of the Yao Lao that Little Yao Xi Little Yao Xi before was a spiritual object that nurtured her soul...

A spiritual object that nourishes the soul! Yang Shan suddenly realized that the reason Little Yao Xi couldn't see Yao Lao might be because she didn't have a spiritual object to nourish her soul. If he put the Soul Nourishing Flower in Little Yao Xi's hand, would Yao Lao appear?

With a thought, Yang Shan summoned the fifth-tier spiritual artifact, the Soul Nourishing Flower, in his hand.

But before Yang Shan could place the Soul Nourishing Flower in Little Yao Xi's hand, he felt a sudden dizziness.

The next instant, an old man in white appeared before Yang Shan.

At this moment, Yang Shan was actually on a boat floating on the lake.

Illusion!

Yang Shan looked at the white-robed elder and said with a wry smile, "Yao Lao, you still don't trust me, and insist on meeting me through an illusion."

The old man before Yang Shan was none other than the renowned Continent's Number One Alchemist—

"Venerable Yao Chen!" Yao Lao looked at Yang Shan with a kind smile on his face, "Little Friend Yang Shan, I had no choice. I'm sure you can see how weak I am now."

"Yao Lao, there's really no need to explain. I was just joking. After all, this is only the second time I've met Yao Lao."

Yang Shan noticed that, although it was an illusion, he was actually holding Soul Nourishing Flower! Yang Shan simply presented the Soul Nourishing Flower with both hands, respectfully offering it to him:

"I will always remember your guidance, Yao Lao Yao Lao. You probably need this now."

"You"

Seeing Yang Shan's reaction, the Yao Lao felt somewhat embarrassed.

"I originally intended to exchange something for your Soul Nourishing Flower, but I didn't expect you to give it to me so readily. Ah, child, you have far more conscience than that beast!"

[Ding! Your actions have greatly surprised Venerable Yao Chen. Venerable Yao's favorability towards you has increased by 5. Current favorability: 15!]

In previous versions, the Yao Lao provided "Mirror Illusion Guidance" to almost all Alchemist players.

Players can generally gain 5 points of favorability.

Yang Shan's powerful Soul Strength and the fact that he was the top Alchemist in the entire server at the time made him valued by the Yao Lao, and he gained 10 points of favorability as a result.

Yang Shan: "Yao Lao, the beast you're talking about, is it Han Feng?"

A murderous glint flashed in the Yao Lao's eyes. "It's him!"

Don't let Yao Lao's kind face fool you; this old man is a ruthless character! When it comes to seizing resources, he's absolutely merciless, and he never hesitates to take revenge!

In the original novel, Yao Lao reconstructed his body and broke through to the realm of Half-Saint. At the most prestigious auction in the entire continent, he encountered three old enemies who blocked his way after the auction.

Those three powerhouses who reached the Dou Zun Peak level all died at the hands of Yao Lao! A kind-hearted person can't become the Continent's Number One Alchemist!

Unfortunately Yao Lao's bottom line was still too high; he never imagined that he would be betrayed by his own disciple.

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"In that case, I have avenged Yao Lao. A few years ago, in the Black-Corner Region, I attacked the Black Alliance with the elders of the Jia Nan Academy. The leader of the Black Alliance was Han Feng. It's just a pity that Han Feng self-destructed in the end, but his remnant soul escaped."

What happened to Han Feng after his remnant soul escaped was something only "Cheng E" knew.

Yang Shan would definitely not reveal a single detail.

Furthermore, Yang Shan also wanted to test whether Yao Lao knew about Han Feng's current situation. Yao Lao sighed:

"I never expected Han Feng to fall into your hands, young friend. No wonder I noticed something was off about Han Feng's soul. Heh! In that case, I really have to thank you, young friend!"

Yang Shan pretended to be stunned:

"Senior, have you seen Han Feng's remnant soul?"

Yao Lao: "No, when I saw that beast, he had already reshaped his body and even broken through to the Eight-Star Dou Zong!"

"Eight-Star Dou Zong?"

Yang Shan was dumbfounded.

When I met Han Feng before, he was only Four Star Dou Zong. How come he has become Eight-Star Dou Zong now?

Han Feng has been leading his men in searching for the Venerable Yao's whereabouts; where would he find the time to cultivate? How could he have improved so quickly?

Yang Shan said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that salted fish could turn things around! Does Yao Lao know where Han Feng is?"

Yao Lao: "Young friend, you must not go looking for Han Feng. Han Feng has probably joined a powerful force by now. He is hiding in the shadows and searching for my whereabouts. With your cultivation level of Three-Star Dou Zong, you are absolutely no match for Han Feng!"

Yang Shan did not refute Yao Lao.

It's normal that Yao Lao doesn't know his current combat strength, and Yang Shan doesn't need to prove his ability as the Blade Sovereign to Yao Lao.

The most important thing now is to help Venerable Yao recover his Soul Strength.

"How can I help you?"

The Yao Lao, "I need a spiritual object to nourish my soul. If I can restore my soul, then Han Feng will absolutely be unable to do anything to me!"

Yang Shan pretended to be deep in thought, "Nourish the soul. It's embarrassing to say, but after wandering around the Northwest Continent for so many years, I've only found this one Soul Nourishing Flower."

The Yao Lao, "Actually, I came to the Black-Corner Region more than a year ago. This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and many shady things end up here. Before that, in a place called Black Moon Ridge, I sensed a strange fluctuation. That fluctuation made my soul extremely eager. It must be an extraordinary Soul Nourishing Spiritual Object!"

Upon hearing these three words, Yang Shan almost immediately thought of the mysterious secret realm at the core of Black Moon Ridge Black Moon Ridge.

"Could it be that the key to Save Yao Lao lies there?"

The Seventh Order Peak- level Heavenly Demon Phoenix guards an extraordinary Soul Nourishing Spiritual Object.

This seems to be a match.

"Young friend, my soul is too weak to pass on anything to you now, but I will remember your Soul Nourishing Flower. If you can bring me more Soul Nourishing Spiritual Object, I will reward you many times over!"

The Yao Lao shook the Soul Nourishing Flower in his hand and said half-jokingly, "Young friend, may I borrow it on credit?"

Yang Shan said casually, "It's something to repay a debt of gratitude, so how can you talk about paying on credit? Senior, how can I find you when I obtain Soul Nourishing Spiritual Object?"

"No need to look for me, I will come to you myself."
