Burning Flame Valley: Huh? The Wind and Thunder North Pavilion Master Has Come Knocking?
"Call"
Xiao Yuan woke up to the familiar scent of datura flowers. He glanced to the side and saw Cai Lin sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, resting.
"You're awake?"
Cai Lin also sensed Xiao Yuan's awakening and asked in a rare gentle voice.
How long have I been resting?
Xiao Yuan sat up, stretched his limbs a little, glanced at the bright sky outside the window, and asked with a smile.
"About two and a half days, how was it?"
Cai Lin's long legs were crossed, and her snow-white legs were exposed under the high slit of her cheongsam, which looked quite alluring.
"Not bad. Let's go get what I need."
Xiao Yuan rolled out of bed, straightened his clothes, and then reached out his hand to Cai Lin.
"Hmph, go ahead and do it yourself, you womanizing bastard."
Seeing this, Cai Lin seemed to have thought of something. She raised her chin slightly, crossed her arms in front of her chest in an amazing arc, and spoke while her breasts were surging.
"Ah?"
Xiao Yuan looked bewildered upon hearing this. Who had provoked this arrogant queen again?
"I didn't do anything!"
Xiao Yuan felt that he was really wronged.
"That's not necessarily true. Go by yourself. I'm tired from guarding you for so long. I'll rest for a while."
Cai Lin didn't seem to want to talk to Xiao Yuan any more. After waving her hand, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
But with such a beauty lying on the bed, her large breasts rising and falling with her breath, it was really hard to leave.
So Xiao Yuan took a step forward, unleashed the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, and kissed Cai Lin's face and lips in an instant before hurriedly leaving.
After he left, Cai Lin realized what this audacious guy had done to her. She couldn't help but jump out of bed, wishing she could grab Xiao Yuan back, pin him down on the bed, and have sex with him.
How dare he steal a kiss from her? When he gets back, I'll definitely teach him a lesson.
"You've worked hard, Cai Lin, get some rest!"
Xiao Yuan's voice also drifted on the wind.
"Hmph! How dare you be disrespectful to me!"
Cai Lin lay back on the bed, and the slight drowsiness that had been creeping up on her disappeared. Her hair fell down, revealing her slightly reddened earlobes.
Her fair, slender hands gently brushed against her cheeks and red lips, stirring ripples in her heart.
But this idiot, who would just run away after a kiss? Outside the room was a garden, filled with many colorful flowers. A gentle breeze carried the faint fragrance of flowers throughout the courtyard, giving one a sense of peace.
"You're awake?"
As Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across the room, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out. Following the voice, he saw a woman in red sitting cross-legged in the garden. She had a long, slender upper body, and from the side, one could see through the flowers a captivating curve from her long, jade-like neck to her delicate hips.
Xiao Yuan naturally recognized Tang Huo'er, and nodded with a smile.
The woman in red stood up, her tall figure making her appear even more graceful. She walked quickly towards Xiao Yuan and then gave him a bright smile, "My name is Tang Huo'er. Thank you very much this time."
Because the two were standing very close, Xiao Yuan could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl in front of him. When he looked up, he could see Tang Huo'er's fair and pretty face with a hint of rosy cheeks. Xiao Yuan had seen many beauties over the years, and although Tang Huo'er's appearance might not be as Cai Lin as Cai Lin's, she had her own unique charm. Her graceful and heroic demeanor was very attractive.
Judging from Tang Huo'er's complexion, it was clear that she had taken the Fire Bodhi Pill and resolved her problem, hence her visibly improved mood.
After taking a look at the fiery-looking girl in front of him, Xiao Yuan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Miss Tang."
"Don't call me Miss Tang. If you don't mind, just call me Huo'er. You are my savior, so there's no need to be so formal."
Tang Huo'er waved her hand at Xiao Yuan's address, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light, and said with a smile.
Seeing that Tang Huo'er of being the young lady of Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Yuan nodded with satisfaction. His previous judgment was correct. Tang Huo'er's previous questioning of him was due to the influence of her illness, and her emotions were unstable. Now that the problem has been resolved, she will naturally no longer be like before.
"You've been unconscious for almost three days. Father said that if you wake up and want to see him, he'll let me take you there. I think you want to see him now, right?"
Tang Huo'er's bright, beautiful eyes swept over Xiao Yuan, and she giggled.
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Huo'er," Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Come with me. But by the way, why are you so interested in the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley?"
Just as Tang Huo'er was about to turn around, she suddenly remembered something and asked with a hint of curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Because the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations are extremely suitable for me."
Tang Huo'er was slightly surprised by Xiao Yuan's answer. She raised her eyebrows and said, "There's such a thing? But my father once said that I also have a considerable talent for cultivating the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan glanced at Tang Huo'er's slightly fiery gaze and shook his head. This girl was indeed competitive, and he didn't need to embarrass her at this time.
"Hehe, then let's have a competition then!"
Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Hmph, let's have a competition, but it's no fun without a prize. How about we bet on something?"
Tang Huo'er naturally didn't think she would lose, and said with considerable confidence.
"There's no need for a bet. If Miss Huo'er loses, she'll owe me a favor."
Xiao Yuan smiled meaningfully.
"Alright, if you lose, you'll owe me a favor! Hehe, speaking of which, I've actually come out ahead. Even my father would find it difficult to get a master alchemist who can refine Grade 7 High Level Pill to owe me a favor!"
Tang Huo'er readily agreed, and said with a charming smile.
"Hehe, Miss Huo'er is quite an interesting person."
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er covered her mouth and smiled, then turned around and led the way, saying as she walked, "Don't worry, since your father has promised you, there won't be any problems with the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. But I must remind you in advance that obtaining the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is not an easy task. Even if your father gives you the opportunity, you will find it difficult to obtain the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations if you don't have the strength."
Xiao Yuan nodded calmly. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was the top secret technique of the Burning Flame Valley. Obtaining it was naturally extremely difficult. However, unless Tang Zhen made a move, the elders of the Burning Flame Valley could not do anything to him.
Following Tang Huo'er out of the courtyard and into the valley, they encountered many disciples of the Burning Flame Valley along the way. Upon seeing Tang Huo'er, these disciples all hurriedly bowed. In the Burning Flame Valley, not only did she have a special status, but her cultivation talent was also astonishing, enough to make anyone in the valley admire her.
Xiao Yuan, who was standing beside Tang Huo'er, also attracted a lot of attention. The disciples of Burning Flame Valley were all familiar with this young alchemy master who was able to help the Valley Master refine pills. During the few days that Xiao Yuan was unconscious, his affairs had become the topic of conversation among many Burning Flame Valley disciples.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Xiao Yuan followed Tang Huo'er for more than ten minutes before finally stopping outside a magnificent hall.
"The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is the top secret technique of Burning Flame Valley. According to the rules of the valley, it cannot be passed on to outsiders. Although Father is the Valley Master, he cannot make such a decision on his own. After all, there is also Council of Elders ' Council in Burning Flame Valley. Those old fogies are not easy to deal with."
Tang Huo'er stopped outside the main hall and whispered.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, showing considerable confidence in the matter.
Seeing Xiao Yuan's composed expression, Xiao Yuan Tang Huo'er nodded, gave him an encouraging smile, waved to him, and turned to walk into the main hall. Xiao Yuan hurriedly followed.
Led by Tang Huo'er, Xiao Yuan successfully entered the main hall. The atmosphere inside was slightly oppressive. Around the hall, there were many fully armed disciples of the Burning Flame Valley, which made the atmosphere in the hall even more solemn.
As soon as Xiao Yuan entered the main hall, his gaze swept over the scene. At the head of the hall stood the still spirited Tang Zhen, but on either side of him were two elderly men in red robes with white hair and beards. Their faces were ashen, exuding an air of authority without anger. The powerful Dou Qi emanating from these two old men, though not as unfathomable as Tang Zhen's, was still undoubtedly that of extremely strong individuals.
Below these two white-haired elders sat nearly a dozen other elders, all of whom were extremely powerful. Among them was Elder Chi Huo, who had escorted Xiao Yuan to Burning Red Fire Elder Burning Flame Valley that day. Clearly, they were all elders of Burning Flame Valley.
"Xiao Yuan greets Valley Master Tang."
Despite the oppressive atmosphere and numerous gazes within the main hall, Xiao Yuan remained unfazed, slowly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Tang Zhen at the head of the table, and said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, young friend Xiao Yuan, how is your recovery going?"
Tang Zhen's smile broadened as he glanced at Xiao Yuan and asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Valley Master Tang. Everything is fine now," Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"You must be Xiao Yuan, the one who wanted my Burning Flame Valley Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations?"
A dull, aged voice suddenly rang out. Xiao Yuan glanced at it and saw it was the white-haired old man sitting next to Tang Zhen.
Xiao Yuan nodded slowly in response to the old man's question.
"I am Wu Chen, the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley. You helped the Valley Master refine the Fire Bodhi Pill this time, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Burning Flame Valley." Wu Chen's expression was calm. As soon as he finished speaking, he continued, "However, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is a closely guarded secret of our Burning Flame Valley. There are rules within the valley that it cannot be passed on to outsiders. I wonder if we could exchange it for another condition?"
"Really."
Xiao Yuan sneered inwardly; he knew things wouldn't go too smoothly.
"Third Elder, I had already promised my young friend Xiao Yuan. Are you trying to make me break my promise by saying this now?"
At the head of the table, Tang Zhen's expression darkened slightly as he spoke.
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, the Third Elder paused for a moment and said, "Although the Valley Master agreed to it beforehand, according to the rules..."
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. I am the Valley Master. Do you think I don't even have this much right?"
Tang Zhen said calmly.
"Valley Master, please don't be angry. The Third Elder only spoke because of the rules of the valley. After all, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is not an ordinary secret technique. Now that it's being handed over to an outsider, I'm sure the Great Elder will think it over carefully, right?" The old man who hadn't spoken until now finally spoke slowly. At this point, he suddenly glanced at Xiao Yuan below and said, "And this young friend named Xiao Yuan, hehe, is quite an extraordinary person. I've heard so much about you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen was also taken aback, and then looked at the Second Elder who had spoken with some confusion.
The Second Elder stared intently at Xiao Yuan, his eyes narrowed. After a long while, he suddenly said calmly, "I recently visited the Northern Region of Northern Region of the Central Plains. The most talked-about matter there is the feud between a young man and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. It is said that for the sake of the Han Clan of Tianbei City, he killed all four elders of the Wind and Thunder Wind and Thunder North Pavilion, including the Wind Cloud Lightning and Thunder, and Lightning Elders. Most of the Dou Emperor and Dou Wang of the North Pavilion also died at his hands. Even Fei Tian is now missing. However, the Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has not responded at all, and the Han Clan of Tianbei City is also nowhere to be found."
The Second Elder continued.
Tang Huo'er, standing beside Tang Zhen, also had a glint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She had heard about this matter before.
"That young man is named Xiao Yuan." The Second Elder chuckled, then looked at Xiao Yuan meaningfully and said, "I think this Xiao Yuan is the same Xiao Yuan as before?"
Upon hearing the words of the red-robed elder, everyone in the hall was taken aback. They then looked at the handsome young man in white with surprise. No one had expected that this elegant young man, who had such high attainments in alchemy, would have such abilities.
Although the strength of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion cannot compare with that of Burning Flame Valley, it is still a powerful force with considerable influence in Central State. Xiao Yuan was able to wipe out Wind and Thunder North Pavilion and leave unscathed, which shows that he is definitely not a simple person.
Tang Huo'er stared intently at Xiao Yuan, her itching sensation intensifying. Among her peers, she had yet to encounter many opponents of similar stature.
The red-robed elder, who was also the Second Elder of Burning Flame Valley, smiled upon hearing this, "It is said that you have a grudge against the Wind and Thunder Pavilion because you possess the Three Thousand Lightning Movement of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, which has led to their repeated attacks. You are not a Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so where did you get these Three Thousand Lightning Movement? Moreover, now you want my Burning Flame Valley's Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. Are you really that interested in other people's Dou Technique?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan grinned, then looked at the Second Elder's handsome face with a hint of wickedness. "The Three Thousand Lightning Movement were something I obtained by chance, so there's no need to explain that to the Second Elder. As for the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, I have that too!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan waved his arm, and dark golden flames rose from his body. Xiao Yuan's aura also soared, directly reaching the peak of the fifth star.
"The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations!"
Upon seeing the familiar scorching aura emanating from Xiao Yuan, Tang Zhen's expression changed drastically.
This is a closely guarded secret of their Burning Flame Valley, so why does Xiao Yuan know it too? "I obtained this Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations from a broken jade piece back then. It was just a fragment, only containing the first transformation. And that kind of jade storage device is only made by Burning Flame Valley in the entire continent. In that sense, I do have some connection with Burning Flame Valley. The Second Elder said earlier that I am an outsider? That is probably not accurate."
With a thought, Xiao Yuan deactivated the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and said with a smile.
"Of course, you can also slander me, saying that I killed a core disciple of the Burning Flame Valley and seized the Burning Flame Valley's secret cultivation method, or, like the Wind and Wind and Thunder Pavilion, say that I stole their Three Thousand Lightning Movement."
Xiao Yuan crossed his arms and spoke in a sharp tone.
"In recent years, nothing like what happened at the Wind and Thunder Burning Flame Valley Wind and Thunder Pavilion Valley. Given your character, young friend, you would not deceive me at such a time. The jade storage device you mentioned may have been passed down by some of my Burning Flame Valley's fallen predecessors. You have the opportunity to obtain the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations cultivation method from it, and now you have saved Huo'er. It is truly a predestined fate. In that case, you are indeed not an outsider."
Tang Zhen believed Xiao Yuan's words quite a bit. After all, Xiao Yuan could have chosen not to mention it, but he did, and such a frank attitude was enough to earn Tang Zhen's respect.
However, the Second Elder, who was being criticized, was somewhat embarrassed, and his expression darkened slightly.
"Xiao Yuan, this is not the Wind and Thunder Pavilion; you cannot act so presumptuously here!"
Wu Chen, the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley, frowned and coldly rebuked.
"I find your behavior presumptuous. Since you know I am Xiao Yuan, who destroyed the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion in Tianbei City, what right do you have to yell at me like that? Or is it that the Second Elder only knows that I destroyed the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion and doesn't know that I am the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion? Furthermore, what qualifications do you two have to put on such an attitude in front of me? Is my identity as a high-level seventh-grade alchemist fake, or do you think your seniority is higher than mine?"
Xiao Yuan wouldn't tolerate these old fogies. Even if the patriarch of Burning Flame Valley were resurrected, he wouldn't do anything to stop him from giving him the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations.
"You!"
The Third Elder and the Second Elder's expressions turned quite grim upon hearing this. They hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to be so sharp-tongued. In truth, Xiao Yuan was right. Even the Burning Flame Valley would treat Seventh Rank High Level Alchemist as an honored guest. They were already being polite by not giving them the cold shoulder, let alone daring to act arrogantly. Tang Huo'er, standing to the side, also had a hint of curiosity in her eyes. In all these years, this was the first time she had ever seen someone dare to confront these two pedantic fellows like this!
"Furthermore, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is not a secret technique created by the people of Burning Flame Valley. For others, it is a secret that is not passed on, but for me, no one should inherit the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations more than me."
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Tang Zhen's expression changed drastically.
Because he had also inherited the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, he naturally knew that the first half of what Xiao Yuan said was true. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was a secret technique created by Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan, Ancient Emperor clan and a friend of the Burning Flame Burning Flame Old Ancestor who founded Burning Flame Valley.
Wait, Xiao Xuan? Xiao Yuan, Xiao Xuan... Could it be such a coincidence?
"This junior is truly insolent!"
Third Elder Wu Chen could no longer hold back and immediately let out a loud shout, about to teach Xiao Yuan a lesson.
"The Third Elder has quite a temper."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan sneered, but he did not make a move. With a thought, a figure with dark gold light flashed out and punched him, sending him flying backward.
This scene left Tang Zhen, who had originally intended to step in to help, completely bewildered.
Tang Huo'er blinked her bright, beautiful eyes, looking at the figure that had sent the Third Elder flying with a single punch, feeling quite puzzled.
How could someone be hiding right under Father's nose beside Xiao Yuan? The Second Elder was stunned when he saw the silver-haired figure standing like an iron tower beside Xiao Yuan. Then, his voice was filled with surprise and doubt. "You are, Fei Tian, North Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"
