Resources Secured, Beginning the Body Refinement

The roar of the Semi-Saint Fire Lizard still echoed throughout the Magma World.

Xiao Yan, however, had already used the Spatial Barrier to return from the depths of the Magma World to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Standing at the bottom of the tower, he then dispelled the Spatial Barrier.

The Fallen Heart Flame emerged from his body and nuzzled him with its head as if seeking praise.

"Well done." Xiao Yan didn't hold back his praise.

This time, the Fallen Heart Flame killed a Dou Venerate Fire Lizard, which was not just about obtaining the corpse of a Dou Venerate Fire Lizard.

Instead, it means that he can repeat this method in the future, constantly bypassing the perception of those two Semi-Saint Fire Lizard, and annihilating more Dou Venerate Fire Lizard.

A Dou Venerate Fire Lizard is a treasure trove from head to toe.

The essence blood of Tier 8 Magical Beast can be used to enhance physical strength.

The body can be used to refine the Myriad Beast Pill.

Besides being consumed to directly enhance cultivation, the Crimson Orb can also be used as an Eighth Rank Magic Core to refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.

"With this method, plus the resources gathered for me by the Tian Shu Alliance, I might actually be able to raise my cultivation to the level of High-Star Dou Venerate before entering Central Plains!" Xiao Yan clenched his fist, his heart surging with excitement.

The same feeling was shared by the Yao Tianhuo within the Nether Sea Storage Ring.

Having gathered all the materials for resurrection, he was understandably excited, and the fluctuations of his soul could be clearly felt even through his Storage Ring.

"Senior Tian Huo, don't worry, I'll help you revive when we get back!"

Yao Tianhuo was clearly extremely anxious, but he still pretended to be relaxed. "Haha, young friend, no rush, no rush."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Is that so? So you're not in a hurry, senior? Then let's postpone it for a while longer."

"Let me digest the rest of this Dou Venerate Fire Lizard first, then I'll refine your body."

Upon hearing this, Yao Tianhuo didn't even consider whether Xiao Yan was joking, and immediately said urgently, "No, no, no, young friend, I was just pretending! I was so anxious!"

Teasing him was fun, and it reminded Xiao Yan of the time he used to joke around with Yao Lao.

Unfortunately, as his strength and status grew, the Yao Lao rarely joked with him anymore.

He understood that this was not a sign of estrangement, but rather that as his status rose, some jokes were indeed no longer appropriate.

Feeling inexplicably melancholy, Xiao Yan didn't say much and flew upwards from the bottom of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

After leaving the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yan met with Su Qian again to inform her that he had finished his business.

Su Qian didn't ask any questions. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xiao Yan, she left to announce the reopening of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

After leaving Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yan returned to Yan City in no time, thanks to his speed.

In the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yi Xian had already awakened.

She sat on the stone bench, looking at the not-so-clear sky of the Black-Corner Region, her eyes vacant, silent like a statue.

Only when she sensed the subtle spatial fluctuations did her eyes regain their sparkle.

Xiao Yan suddenly appeared beside her, smiling as he asked, "Awake?"

Xiao Yi Xian realized that her previous pretense of sleep was tantamount to burying her head in the sand. Now that she was being reminded, she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Xiao Yan didn't dwell on it, and after a lighthearted joke, he changed the subject. "Why are you sitting here all the time? Why don't you go outside for a stroll?"

"I don't know anyone here..." Xiao Yi Xian said bluntly.

Xiao Yan slapped his forehead. "I really forgot, I left Qian Du in Black-Seal City to keep an eye on the Eight-Fan Sect for me."

"I should have transferred her to Yan City when I knew you were coming, so you wouldn't be without company."

"Qian Du..." Xiao Yi Xian's memories surfaced, she hadn't forgotten this loyal subordinate.

A slight smile appeared on her face as she said to Xiao Yan, "I'll go see her to cheer myself up when you're not around."

Xiao Yan touched his nose. "Don't you want to ask me where I went?"

"I don't want to hold you back because of me."

Xiao Yan:...

The Xiao Yi Xian was so sensible that he felt a little guilty.

"Ahem, Xian'er, I'm going to refine a body next. Will you help me protect me?" Xiao Yan said.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yi Xian said, "Refining the body, is it for Yao Lao?"

Upon suddenly hearing Xiao Yi Xian mention Yao Lao, Xiao Yan was startled. Then he remembered that Yao Lao and Xiao Yi Xian had met back in the Chu Yun Empire.

At that time, because his physique broke through to the Seventh Rank, he was guided by the inheritance of the Wan Ling Emperor. Yao Lao and Xiao Yi Xian were also absorbed into it and met once.

Come to think of it, Xiao Yi Xian was the only one among his entourage who knew of the existence of the Yao Lao.

"No, this body refinement is for another senior." Xiao Yan touched the Nether Sea Storage Ring, signaling Venerable Skyfire to come out.

Yao Tianhuo didn't hesitate and quickly withdrew from his Storage Ring.

Xiao Yi Xian's gaze swept over Yao Tianhuo, a look of doubt on her face. "Who is this?"

Xiao Yan introduced, "This is Venerable Skyfire. He perished in the Magma World beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower of the Jia Nan Academy for some reason."

When I went to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame, I happened to encounter him. After some transactions, I took him with me, waiting for the right opportunity to refine a body for his resurrection."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded knowingly, but didn't say anything.

With her current Peak Dou Venerate strength, let alone the current Soul Body Venerable Skyfire, even the peak Venerable Skyfire wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

If Venerable Skyfire can do things properly for Xiao Yan, she will naturally treat him with courtesy. However, if Venerable Skyfire changes his attitude after being resurrected, she will not hesitate to kill him.

Compared to Xiao Yan, the lives of others meant nothing to her, not even her own.

Xiao Yan began refining his body.

The Yao Lao floated out of the Bone Flame Ring.

He wanted to see if the method of refining the body with Heavenly Flames was feasible, as it was related to his resurrection.

As for Xiao Yan reviving Venerable Skyfire first, he didn't see anything wrong with it.

He knew perfectly well that if Xiao Yan wanted to revive him, he would prepare everything to the best of his ability.

Xiao Yan would never use something like the Yin-Yang Life-Soul Pill when he was resurrected.

So he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Greetings, Yao Lao." Xiao Yi Xian smiled politely.

Unlike Venerable Skyfire, Yao Lao was almost equivalent to Xiao Yan's father, so even though she was Dou Venerate, she would not be impolite.

The Yao Lao smiled calmly and said, "Yes, we meet again."

You and Yan'er should get along well. He often thinks of you while you're away.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and she blushed as she said, "Yes, Yao Lao."

Seeing the two automatically adopting the perspectives of a father-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xiao Yan smiled without saying a word and began to concentrate on refining his body.

The remains of the Venerable Skyfire Dou Venerate, the essence and blood of the Dou Venerate Fire Lizard, Yin-Yang Life-Soul Pill.

He took out all the materials and placed them on the open ground in front of him.

With a flick of his wrist, Heavenly Flames rose from his palm.
