After thinking for a long time, Ye Zhong finally spoke slowly, "Why don't you let Mr. Xiao Yuan make the conditions? I will try my best to meet them."

Ye Zhong dared to say this for two reasons: one was Xiao Yuan's strength, and the other was Su Qian standing to the side.

With Su Qian as his guarantor, he was unlikely to be greedy, so he was willing to hand over the initiative to this promising young talent.

"Xiao Yan, what do you think?"

Xiao Yuan didn't mention any conditions. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yan behind him and raised an eyebrow.

He sensed the subtle soul fluctuations emanating from Yao Lao, which essentially meant that Xiao Yan should handle the matter.

"I?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned.

After all this talk, how did it get involved with him? But he did get some information about the Pill Gathering and the Heavenly Flames hidden in the Danta from Yao Lao.

However, even the Yao Lao didn't remember much about the existence of Heavenly Flames within the Danta, and he was somewhat unsure of the specifics.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan spoke up, "Mr. Ye, as you know, alchemists need Heavenly Flames. It would be too much to ask of me to use that as payment. What I want to know is, do you have any information about Heavenly Flames?"

"Heavenly Flames?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong seemed somewhat surprised, but soon a thought struck him.

He actually had that information!

"As far as I know, there are two pieces of information about this Heavenly Flames. The first is the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, the inherited Heavenly Flames of Burning Flame Valley!"

Upon hearing Ye Zhong's words, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, but then he heard Ye Zhong say:

"However, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame has been passed down by the Burning Flame Valley for hundreds of years. It has long been marked with an indelible blood Soul Seal in the source of fire by the powerful figures of each generation. Unless you cultivate the Burning Flame Valley's valley-suppressing technique, Azure Netherworld Flame Art, even if you obtain the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, it is absolutely impossible for you to make it your own."

Therefore, attempting to target the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame of Burning Flame Valley will only result in needlessly offending a powerful force.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression turned unfriendly.

This old man is deliberately making fun of him, isn't he?

"Ahem, it's not difficult to know that the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame is in the Burning Flame Valley, but to know such details in order to avoid attracting enemies is not something an ordinary person can know. I'm not trying to make fun of you, young friend, but just giving you a heads-up!"

Seeing the change in Xiao Yan's expression, Ye Zhong quickly explained.

"Oh, then Mr. Ye, could you please tell us about the second piece of news? Surely this second piece of news won't also be just another false alarm?"

Xiao Yuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and stared at Ye Zhong with a half-smile.

"Hehe, this time I won't disappoint you two. The second piece of news is a clue about another kind of Heavenly Flames ranks even higher than the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame! Moreover, as long as you have the ability, the chance of obtaining it is far higher than trying to seize the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame!"

As soon as Ye Zhong speaking, Xiao Yan looked at him with burning eyes, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement. "Really?"

"I am absolutely not lying!"

Ye Zhong nodded, his expression solemn.

"Alright! Then use this message in exchange for my help in getting your Ye Clan back onto the Elders' Seats!"

Xiao Yan decisively made the decision.

"Young friend Xiao Yan has great courage. If he can truly help my Ye Clan return to the Elders' Seat, the Ye Clan will definitely reward him handsomely!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's decisive action, Ye Zhong naturally didn't think that Xiao Yan was trying to get something for nothing. He made the right choice without hesitation and decided to take a gamble.

Ye Xinlan, the most outstanding young member of the Ye Clan, will at most be Fifth Grade Alchemist next year, but these two are both Sixth Grade Alchemist! It's worthwhile to hire either of them!

Moreover, as Seventh Grade Alchemist, his soul perception was not weak, so he was naturally able to sense the vast soul power of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan from their soul auras.

"This second type of Heavenly Flames is still related to the Danta, but it's not for you, Xiao Yan, to forcibly seize it. That's unrealistic, after all, the Danta is an even more powerful force than the Burning Flame Valley. But the good news is that although this Heavenly Flames is related to the Danta, it is ownerless. As long as you have the ability, it will be obtained by the destined person. Even the Danta will not object to this. They will even thank you and try to recruit the person who takes the Heavenly Flames into the Danta. If you are good at alchemy, you can even become one of the elders of the Danta. If you encounter trouble, just this title is enough to make even Dou Zun expert wary!"

Ye Zhong didn't keep them in suspense. After giving a brief explanation, he revealed the name of the Heavenly Flames.

"And this Heavenly Flames will surely not disappoint young friend Xiao Yuan, for its name is the Three Thousand Burning Flame!"

"Three Thousand Burning Flame?"

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, then his dark eyes suddenly burst forth with a fiery light. Now he was a genuine Sixth Grade Alchemist, so his understanding of the many Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking was no longer as lacking as it had been back then, and he naturally knew something about the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame, also known as the Three Thousand Starry Sky Burning Flame, ranks ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. In fact, it ranks two places higher than Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame. This kind of Heavenly Flames is considered one of the most elusive and difficult to find among the many Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, because it does not exist on the earth, but is formed in the distant starry sky. Ancient books have recorded that when the Three Thousand Burning Flame are formed, silver fire falls from the sky, and a thousand miles of land is like a desert, with no distinction between day and night, no stars appearing, and no sun shining.

Because it resides in the starry sky, a place inaccessible to ordinary people, the Three Thousand Burning Flame will exist for a longer period than other Heavenly Flames. It is precisely because of this that it has been given enough time to evolve. Therefore, most of the Three Thousand Burning Flame that have been discovered are super spiritual creatures of heaven and earth with high intelligence. Even if they are found, capturing them is extremely difficult.

Of course, what moved Xiao Yan the most was not just the high ranking of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, but the fact that this Heavenly Flames possessed a particularly special ability, namely the legendary "Three Thousand Starry Physique." Of course, this is a nicer name; some powerful individuals who had fought against those who possessed the Three Thousand Burning Flame called it the "Undying Physique."

The reason for this strange name is that the Three Thousand Burning Flame can make the person who possesses it exceptionally resilient, just like the most disgusting "Magical Cockroach Beast" in Warcraft. No matter how fierce the attack, it can still quickly heal its injuries, and its combat power recovery speed will also increase rapidly.

Fighting someone with such an "immortal body" requires killing them completely, otherwise, as long as they have a breath left, they can become lively again. The speed of recovery depends on the severity of the injury. Therefore, few people are willing to become mortal enemies with a powerful person who possesses the "Three Thousand Burning Flame". After all, no matter who it is, having an enemy with a life force as tenacious as a magical beast will make it difficult to eat or sleep.

Of course, this doesn't mean that possessing the Three Thousand Burning Flame truly makes one immortal. Sometimes, injuries are too severe for the Three Thousand Burning Flame to completely repair. For example, if vital organs like the heart or head suffer a truly fatal attack, even the Three Thousand Burning Flame cannot restore them. Especially if you encounter a powerful opponent far stronger than yourself, they might not give you any chance to recover and would simply destroy you completely. In that case, even the title of "immortal" would be of no use.

However, even so, generally speaking, whoever possesses the so-called "Three Thousand Burning Flame" will have their life force mutated to a rather terrifying level. This is undoubtedly attractive to anyone, since everyone is willing to have their life better and safer. Even Xiao Yan is no exception.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's expression, Ye Zhong finally smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's the Three Thousand Burning Flame, ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Are you interested in it, young friend Xiao Yan?"

"I'm afraid anyone would be interested in it."

Xiao Yan didn't hide his covetousness for the Three Thousand Burning Flame. He smiled, but then asked with some doubt, "But if the Three Thousand Burning Flame are really in the Danta, such a rare and precious Heavenly Flames would definitely be protected with extreme care. How could they allow outsiders to try to subdue it?"

Ye Zhong smiled upon hearing this and explained unhurriedly:

"Hehe, you can rest assured about that, young friend Xiao Yan. If you can take the Three Thousand Burning Flame into your possession, that is only your skill. The Danta will certainly not hold a grudge against you for this, because the Three Thousand Burning Flame have only been discovered by the Danta, and have not yet been subdued by them."

In truth, the Danta had discovered the Three Thousand Burning Flame quite some time ago. During this time, the powerful figures within the Danta naturally attempted to subdue it, but all their efforts were in vain. In fact, they suffered considerable losses due to the Three Thousand Burning Flame ' resistance. Therefore, the Pill Danta could only use a seal to temporarily imprison the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Of course, such a seal could not be maintained permanently, as the Three Thousand Burning Flame was no pushover.

After a stalemate, the Danta realized that forcibly subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which had evolved to possess considerable intelligence, was far too difficult. Therefore, after deliberation, they decided to offer the qualification to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame to an outsider.

"Outward expansion?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Su Qian were both stunned. The Danta was actually willing to let someone else subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Xiao Yuan remained calm and composed, his Fused Heavenly Flame now stronger than the Three Thousand Burning Flame. In terms of intensity, it was roughly equivalent to the Red Lotus Karma Fire, or perhaps slightly stronger.

Of course, this is on the premise that Xiao Yuan's own strength must keep up; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the Red Lotus Karma Fire unleashed by Dou Sheng Expert.

"Of course, this outsourcing is also subject to limitations. Every thirty years, the Douqi Continent Medicine Realm Pill Gathering, and the only qualified force to host it is naturally the Danta."

"The Pill Gathering?" Xiao Yan was taken aback and murmured to himself.

"This Pill Gathering is a rare grand event on the Douqi Continent. Countless alchemy prodigies from all over the continent will compete here, and the winner will naturally become famous throughout the world. Hehe, I remember that your teacher once won the Pill Gathering championship, and it was at that time that your teacher gradually became a hot and influential figure on the Douqi Continent."

Su Qian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned again. He asked himself a question, and after receiving Yao Lao's affirmative answer, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Back in the day, our teacher was quite a prominent figure!

Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan, who were standing to the side, were also taken aback when they heard this. They looked at Xiao Yuan with surprise. They were very clear about what the champion of the "Pill Gathering" symbolized. The three giants of Danta had all been champions of the "Pill Gathering". But they did not expect that Xiao Yuan's so-called teacher had such a great background. No wonder the two brothers were able to achieve such success at such a young age.

But with this, a great teacher produces a great student, and it seems the Ye Clan is saved!

"So, the so-called external distribution qualification is related to this ' Pill Gathering '?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly.

"Well, as long as you enter the top ten in the ' Pill Gathering,' in addition to the generous rewards given by the Pill Danta, you will also be given the qualification to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Whether you succeed or not depends on your own ability. Since you have a famous teacher to guide you, young friend Xiao Yan should try to participate in the ' Pill Gathering,' as this is the only proper way to obtain the Three Thousand Burning Flame."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled, a burning passion slowly creeping into his heart. As a young man, no matter how calm he usually was, he naturally harbored the heroic desire to compete with the heroes of the world, especially with the super temptation of the "Three Thousand Burning Flame".

"Alright! In that case, I'll give this Pill Gathering a try!"

Seeing Xiao Yuan nod, the elder and the young of the Ye Clan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Zhong also solemnly clasped his hands in greeting. "In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Hehe, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.

"The Pill Gathering is still a year and a half away. When do you plan to set off, young friend?"

Ye Zhong his excitement and asked with a smile.

"I plan to travel with my Third Brother, but we both still have some things to take care of. Brother, how about a week?"

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Yuan and asked.

"One week?"

Xiao Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, then I will personally take you two young friends to Central State in a week!"

Ye Zhong readily agreed upon hearing this.

"The matter is settled, so we won't disturb the Great Elder and Mr. Ye's reunion. Farewell."

Xiao Yuan then took his leave.

After the two left, Ye Zhong suddenly blushed and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, how about I take Xin Lan back with me? The Ye Clan's assessment must be for the younger generation of the Ye Clan, and the son-in-law is included. Those two kids are both quite good. If they could take a liking to a girl in the family, it might be more reliable."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinlan's pretty face flushed slightly. To be honest, the two "seniors" were both very powerful and were her type. She wasn't opposed to them, but they were too strong. Would they really be interested in her? Thinking of those two young men whose strength was comparable to her grandfather and family elders, a trace of unease flashed in Xin Lan's eyes.

"Hehe, Lao Ye, I advise you not to get your hands on that idea. Even if someone like the Danta is a powerful figure, Xiao Yan's girlfriend is not someone to be trifled with. As for Xiao Yuan, that kid is indeed a womanizer, but the people around him are either his childhood sweethearts or women at the Dou Huang Peak or even Dou Zong level, women who kill without blinking an eye. Your Xin Lan is not bad either, but I'm afraid she will hardly catch his eye."

Su Qian wasn't annoyed by his words and instead teased him playfully.

"Huh? Is it really that exaggerated?"

Ye Zhong's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Do you think I would lie to you about something like this?

Su Qian snorted coldly.

He had learned his lesson the hard way! Just thinking about that unreasonable, glamorous woman from back then still gave Su Qian lingering fear.

When a woman goes berserk, she's truly not to be trifled with, especially since that woman was a Dou Zong- level expert! "Sigh!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong sighed helplessly.

Such an outstanding person naturally has no shortage of excellent women around him.
