Zi Yan Takes on a Little Brother, Materials for Revival

When Xiao Yan landed, he found that Zi Yan and the Snow Demon Sky Ape had also arrived at their destination and were drooling over the diluted Earth Core Tempering Milk Emulsion in the Blue Stone Pit.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, she walked at the very back, looking left and right, finding the Underground World quite pleasing to the eye, and the so-called treasures did not attract her attention at all.

"Brother, this is it, it feels so inviting." Zi Yan sniffed the air, swallowing hard.

She poked her finger, looked at the diluted Earth Core Tempering Milk, and said, "Brother, could you give me a little more?"

Having obtained the genuine Earth Core Tempering Milk, Xiao Yan generously said, "Take all of these and absorb them."

Zi Yan's eyes widened in surprise. "Really, brother?"

Xiao Yan didn't hold back, opening the jade bottle containing the Earth Core Tempering Milk and handing it to Zi Yan: "This is the real Earth Core Tempering Milk. The one on the bluestone slab is just a diluted version, with only about one-tenth of its energy. If you want it, just take it all."

Zi Yan stared at the Earth Core Tempering Milk, and suddenly the diluted version didn't seem so appealing anymore. She looked at Xiao Yan longingly and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother~"

Xiao Yan shook his head. "I need to use this to refine medicine, so I can't give it to you. I'll give you other good things to eat later, okay?"

Zi Yan was somewhat disappointed, but she wasn't unreasonable, so she could only nod and say, "Alright then."

After saying that, she put away all the diluted products, intending to savor them slowly later.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape stood to the side with its head down, looking aggrieved, and said, "Mine, all of them are mine."

It's gone, all gone.

Xiao Yan glanced at it, then casually reached into his Storage Ring and took out a medicinal fruit of considerable quality.

"Ice Marrow Fruit. Ice-attribute magical beasts can improve their cultivation and attribute strength after consuming it. Its value is slightly lower than Earth Core Tempering Milk, but its effect on you is better than Earth Core Tempering Milk." Xiao Yan casually tossed a soft fruit the size of a fist, resembling a crystal, to the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

With the fruit in hand, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's grievances vanished instantly. The fruit was utterly useless to him, barely enough to fill a gap in his teeth, yet he popped it into his mouth like a small grape.

Even so, after consuming this 'little grape,' the Snow Demon Sky Ape immediately underwent a visible change.

In less than a minute, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's aura suddenly surged. If it was originally comparable to a four- or Five-Star Dou Wang, it was now comparable to a seven- or Eight-Star Dou Wang, and the icy cold emanating from its body became even more bone-chilling.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape excitedly pounded its chest with its arms, its eyes filled with affection and longing as it looked at Xiao Yan.

Earth Core Tempering Milk? I don't know that.

It now knows that it's very happy to be with this man in front of it, and that it gets such good fruit to eat.

Even taking Earth Core Tempering Milk might not produce such good results.

"I'll follow you, I want to follow you!" the Snow Demon Sky Ape said to Xiao Yan.

"Forehead..."

Xiao Yan did not agree.

With his current strength and status, and with a mount, it should at least be Tier 7 Magical Beast beast.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape is only at the Fifth Rank now; using it as a mount would actually lower its prestige.

Moreover, the Snow Demon Sky Ape doesn't even have wings; if it wants to fly, it would need to reach at least the Seventh Rank, which is still a long way off.

Therefore, Xiao Yan directly refused, saying, "No need. You are too weak now; you're not strong enough to be my mount."

The Snow Demon Sky Ape immediately showed a dejected expression.

Seeing this, Zi Yan called out to the Snow Demon Sky Ape, "Hey, big monkey, why don't you come with me from now on and become my little brother? I'll protect you. You're quite strong, so you can practice your punches with me."

The Snow Demon Sky Ape looked at Zi Yan, its clever mind taking over. Thinking that following Zi Yan might allow it to get in touch with Xiao Yan, it said, "Alright, Big Sister!"

Zi Yan was inexplicably excited to be called "Big Sister": "Yes, that's what we'll call you!"

"That's good too, it'll give you a playmate." Xiao Yan ruffled Zi Yan's hair vigorously.

"You..." Zi Yan pouted, about to speak, when Xiao Yan suddenly changed the subject.

"Alright, it's time to go back. I have things to do." Xiao Yan immediately walked ahead and left the Underground World.

Zi Yan muttered, "Stinky Xiao Yan."

After leaving the Underground World, the two humans and two beasts left the mountains one after the other, passing through the Jia Nan Academy, Jia Nan City, and Peace Town, heading towards Yan City.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape couldn't fly, nor did it have the ability to Space Shuttle. It was enveloped by Xiao Yan's Soul Power and carried along with him at high speed through the air.

After some time, they arrived in Yan City.

Xiao Yan entrusted Zi Yan and the Snow Demon Sky Ape to Xiao Yi Xian with peace of mind, and then went to the Vientiane Auction House.

Vientiane Auction House is managed by Hai Bodong.

He released a slight aura, and Hai Bodong appeared before him.

"Alliance Leader," Hai Bodong nodded in greeting.

"Elder Hai, help me find some Medicinal Herbs." Xiao Yan got straight to the point.

"Okay." Hai Bodong listened attentively.

Xiao Yan recalled the prescriptions in his mind: a peak Seventh Tier Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, and Seventh-grade Intermediate Yin-Yang Life-Soul Pill.

With his current alchemy skills, neither of the two pills is too difficult to make. However, although the pills are not of the Eighth Tier, the Medicinal Herbs are hard to find.

He wasn't sure which specific pill he would use to revive Venerable Skyfire.

He recounted all the Medicinal Herbs needed for both prescriptions to Hai Bodong.

"The Medicinal Herbs for the first prescription are: Blood Essence Demon Fruit, Ten-Thousand-Year Green Bone Vine, Snow Bone Ginseng..."

"The Medicinal Herbs for the second prescription are: Soul-Returning Demon Fruit -Life-Soul Ghost Face Flower..."

Hai Bodong seemed to have intentionally made a note of the high-grade Medicinal Herbs he had acquired at the auction. When Xiao Yan inquired about them, he didn't ask anyone else and gave his own answer.

"The Medicinal Herbs for the first prescription... the auxiliary ingredients are available at the auction house, but none of the three main ingredients are available."

"The second prescription contains almost all the Medicinal Herbs, except for the Soul-Returning Demon Fruit."

Hai Bodong told the truth.

"Not all of them are complete?" Xiao Yan wasn't particularly discouraged.

It's normal for Medicinal Herbs to be missing, especially rare and uncommon Medicinal Herbs.

The fact that the Yin-Yang Life-Soul Pill Medicinal Herbs is only missing the Soul-Returning Demon Fruit is already a good result, considering that the Life-Soul Ghost Face Flower Medicinal Herbs even rarer.

"Elder Hai, issue a bounty throughout the entire Black-Corner Region. Whoever can bring me a Soul-Returning Demon Fruit can make me one reasonable request," Xiao Yan said.

Hai Bodong agreed, "Okay."

With the Medicinal Herbs incomplete, Xiao Yan had no choice but to leave.

Walking on the streets of Yan City, Xiao Yan deliberately suppressed his Dou Qi cultivation, but his unique aura still attracted the attention of passersby.

Fortunately, he removed the Flame Mask, so he didn't attract too much attention.

Throughout the journey, Xiao Yan kept thinking about one thing.

Those are the materials needed for the resurrection Yao Lao.

In the original story, Yao Lao was resurrected as Semi-Saint. Now that he's doing so well, it's unlikely that his resurrected Yao Lao would be worse than in the original story.

But if that were the case, the necessary resurrection materials simply couldn't be gathered in the Northwest Continent.
