Easily Handling Tier 8 Pill Lightning, the Misunderstood Xiao Yan, and the Change in Bai Lie and Qian Mu's Attitude
"Tier 8 Medicinal Pill!" Elder Huo exclaimed in shock, his voice extremely loud.
His hands trembled as he looked incredulously into the Small Courtyard, as if he could see Xiao Yan inside through the walls and gate.
"Elder Yan Xiao, is he Eighth-Rank Alchemist?" Hu Gan exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Lie said, "That should be true. Although Elder Qian and I have never personally witnessed the birth of Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, we know that the grade of Tier 8 Medicinal Pill is determined by the color of the Pill Lightning, with the lowest being two colors and the highest being nine colors."
This Pill Lightning is silver and blue, it is indeed Two-Colored Pill Lightning!
Upon hearing Bai Lie's words, the area fell into a deathly silence.
Bai Lie and Qian Mu are Jia Nan Academy's true trump cards. They are currently the two students with the highest cultivation levels in the Jia Nan Academy, both genuine Peak Dou Zong!
Normally, these two are in seclusion, waiting for the opportunity to break through. They only occasionally awaken when the Library Pavilion is briefly opened during the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.
Now that Pill Lightning has been alerted, what else do they have to question?
For a moment, those elders present who had originally thought of exchanging the Fallen Heart Flame for Xiao Yan to become a guest elder of the Jia Nan Academy couldn't help but curse themselves.
Eighth-Rank Alchemist condescended to join their Jia Nan Academy just to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame, yet they still feel they've been taken advantage of—it's utterly ridiculous!
They should be grateful that others didn't use their influence to bring in stronger people to rob them!
"Let's go into the Small Courtyard first. This is Two-Colored Pill Lightning of Tier 8 Medicinal Pill. I sense that Yan Xiao's aura is only at the Dou Zong. He might not be able to withstand it," Bai Lie said.
Qian Mu said to Bai Lie, "Elder Bai, get ready, perhaps we'll need to help you defend against them."
Bai Lie had no objection, nodded in agreement, and then used his teleportation ability to rush into the Small Courtyard.
The rest followed closely behind.
In the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yan saw the academy elders arriving and adjusted the mask he had put on beforehand.
Yan Xiao's disguise is very useful; it's best not to reveal it for now.
"Bai Lie, Qian Mu." Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the two old men at the front, and he immediately guessed their identities.
Before he awakened his [Space Control] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, he wouldn't have dared to say he could have won against two Peak Dou Zong. He could only rely on various methods to hold his own against them.
However, he awakened the [Space Control] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, and his mastery of space directly reached the Dou Venerate level. With this huge advantage, let alone the two Peak Dou Zong Bai Lie Qian Mu, even if the entire Jia Nan Academy were tied together, it wouldn't be enough for him to fight.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan nodded politely to the two elders, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "You two are the true trump cards that Jia Nan Academy has been hiding all along, aren't you?"
A smile appeared on Bai Lie and Qian Mu's wrinkled old faces.
Bai Lie said, "My name is Bai Lie, and his name is Qian Mu."
Elder Yan Xiao, please give us instructions on how to resist Pill Lightning.
Qian Mu smiled and said, "It is truly a great honor for the academy to have Yan Xiao join us. Please don't stand on ceremony."
Xiao Yan accepted the offer. "If needed, I will certainly not hesitate to ask."
Looking up at the accumulated Pill Lightning in the sky, Xiao Yan stopped talking and casually waved his hand in front of him, instantly creating a spatial rift. He stepped into it and appeared in the sky the next instant.
Upon seeing this, Bai Lie and Qian Mu's pupils trembled.
"Elder Qian, did you see that?" Bai Lie asked in shock.
Qian Mu's expression was almost identical to his. "I see, this control over space is even stronger than yours or mine!"
"This person's cultivation level is not as simple as it appears on the surface," Bai Lie concluded.
Aside from the two of them, only Su Qian and Hu Gan, both Dou Zong among the other elders, noticed something amiss.
They had all gained some understanding of spatial power and knew how much control over space Xiao Yan needed for his seemingly effortless Space Shuttle; their serious faces showed surprise.
On the contrary, the Dou Emperor and Dou Wang elders, while impressed by Xiao Yan's abilities, were unsure just how powerful he was.
Up in the air.
Facing the even more powerful Two-Colored Pill Lightning, Xiao Yan was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he was eager to try.
Boom!
A bolt of Pill Lightning struck.
Xiao Yan instantly consumed most of his Dou Qi and summoned Spatial Barrier in front of him.
Pill Lightning struck the Spatial Barrier, causing fine cracks to appear before it suddenly shattered. Fortunately, it successfully neutralized the force of the attack.
Another bolt of lightning struck, Xiao Yan changed his approach, summoning a spatial rift in front of him to draw the Pill Lightning in.
Unexpectedly, the Pill Lightning exploded directly in front of the crack, instantly electrocuting Xiao Yan, causing his body to stiffen and fine cracks to appear on his skin.
Xiao Yan activated his [Heaven-Swallowing] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, absorbing the lightning power within his body, and his injuries quickly healed.
He became more vigilant and used Spatial Barrier to block the remaining lightning.
The Dou Qi was rapidly consumed, and the Spatial Barrier shattered and then reformed.
Xiao Yan swallowed several Qi Recovery Pill, and as light shone down from the sky, the Two-Colored Pill Lightning slowly dissipated.
Landing back on the ground, Xiao Yan looked at the Myriad Beast Cauldron.
Pill Lightning has made it through; it's time for him to reap the rewards.
The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, having reached the Eighth Tier, possessed extremely high spirituality. Sensing Xiao Yan's intention, it transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.
Bai Lie and Qian Mu wanted to stop him, but before they could, Xiao Yan had already spread his Soul Power to completely cover the Small Courtyard.
The pill met with resistance and was deflected by the soul barrier. Xiao Yan then made a slight grabbing motion with his hand, and the pill was directly suppressed by him.
Although the Tier 8 Medicinal Pill possess high spiritual energy, one cannot freely use one's own power to obtain them, otherwise they will not be easy to capture.
Xiao Yan sealed the pill into a jade bottle and looked at the group from the Jia Nan Academy, especially Bai Lie and Qian Mu, who were at the head of the group.
As the two with the highest cultivation levels present, they were quite astonished by the abilities Xiao Yan displayed in such a short time.
His physical body was terrifying; he could withstand the aftershocks of the Pill Lightning without dying or even being seriously injured.
Its Soul Power is so strong that it can instantly envelop the entire Small Courtyard.
They even surpass them in Space Control.
This is simply impossible for a mere Dou Zong to accomplish!
Bai Lie and Qian Mu have confirmed one thing now.
The person in front of them was stronger than them and was an Eighth-Rank Alchemist. Since he was willing to exchange pills for the academy's Fallen Heart Flame, they should know what was good for them.
Bai Lie and Qian Mu exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's meaning, and nodded in unison.
Bai Lie smiled and lowered his posture, "Elder Yan Xiao, I heard you came for the Fallen Heart Flame, and even exchanged it for pills?"
"We and Elder Qian believe that since you have already given the pills to the academy and fulfilled your promise, the academy should not delay any longer."
Qian Mu spoke up in tacit agreement, "So, Yan Xiao, why don't we take advantage of the time that Elder Bai and I have, and assist you in absorbing that Fallen Heart Flame?"
Upon hearing Bai Lie and Qian Mu bring up absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan's expression became somewhat strange; their eagerness seemed a bit off.
Xiao Yan compared the subtle changes in the two people's attitudes in his mind and found that this change was particularly obvious after he revealed his own methods.
He immediately understood, and found it somewhat amusing. "I never expected that casually trying out my newly awakened Heaven-Swallowing Talent would bring such an unexpected surprise."
