Earth Demon Puppet as a Reward, Primordial Origin Pill for Qing Lin

After the exchange meeting ended, Xiao Yan summoned Gu He and the Sixth-Rank Alchemist away.

Having promised to provide guidance, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

On the Alchemy Square, many Alchemist lingered, still immersed in the afterglow of the Primordial Origin Pill, unable to come back to their senses.

Xiao Yan left with Gu He and the Sixth-Rank Alchemist, arriving at the Pill Hall of the Tian Shu Alliance in Yan City.

Time passed by unnoticed, and half a day was gone in the blink of an eye.

Gu He and that Sixth-Rank Alchemist made remarkable progress after being guided by him for a full half day.

During this process, this somewhat unkempt Sixth-Rank Alchemist chose to join the Tian Shu Alliance.

Xiao Yan naturally welcomed a Peak Sixth-Grade Alchemist, especially since this Alchemist, although somewhat unkempt, had excellent ideas and creativity, and was a capable person.

Inside the Pill Hall room, Xiao Yan took out two items.

One is the Earth Demon Puppet, and the other is the fire control technique he compiled, though it is at a lower level than the one given to Gu He. Once mastered, it can allow one's Flame Control Technique to reach the level of Peak Seventh-Rank Alchemist.

He handed the fire control technique to Feng Lao, the disheveled Sixth-Rank Alchemist, and said, "Feng Lao, you should work on improving your alchemy skills."

Then, Xiao Yan pushed the Earth Demon Puppet in front of Gu He.

"This is Earth Demon Puppet, with the combat power of Dou Zong. It can fight in your place and withstand the Pill Lightning for you," Xiao Yan said.

Gu He He's eyes widened in disbelief. "This... this precious puppet, is the Alliance Leader sure he wants to give it to me?"

Xiao Yan waved his hand casually. "It's just a Dou Zong- level Earth Demon Puppet. I wonder how much Pill Lightning it will need to absorb to evolve into a Heavenly Demon Puppet with Dou Venerate strength. Considering you successfully broke through to the Seventh Tier rank, I'll take this puppet as a reward. Keep up the good work in the future."

Gu He was even more shocked. "It can absorb the Pill Lightning and evolve into the kind of Dou Zun Puppet that you, Alliance Leader, use?"

Xiao Yan, too lazy to listen to Gu He's constant shock, asked instead, "Do you want it or not? If not, I'll take it back."

Gu He's eyes widened, and he quickly put the puppet away. "I want it!"

Xiao Yan briefly explained to Gu He how to establish contact with the puppet, and then let him and Feng Lao leave together.

With the [Balance] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, the difficulty of crafting the Heavenly Demon Puppet is greatly reduced.

To him, the Heavenly Demon Puppet is now similar to a pill; it's something he can refine at will.

However, unlike pills, the materials for the Heavenly Demon Puppet are quite rare. The body of Dou Zong, the soul of Dou Zong, and Seventh Rank Magic Core make it no less valuable than an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.

If it weren't for Gu He's diligent and tireless efforts in refining medicine for the Alliance every day without complaint, he would never have given Gu He such a reward.

After the matter was settled, Xiao Yan left the Gu He Pill Hall He and went to the main hall of the Tian Shu Alliance.

Inside the main hall, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Hai Bodong, Venerable Skyfire, Mo Tianxing, Xiao Yi Xian, Queen Medusa, Qing Lin, Zi Yan were already seated.

With the addition of Gu He, whom he brought along, all the high-ranking officials and core members of the Tian Shu Alliance were present.

Xiao Yan sat in the main seat, looked down, and said, "The exchange meeting went smoothly, and the Alliance's reputation should have been fully established."

"Next, I'll assign some tasks."

He first looked at Gu He: "Elder Gu He, after this exchange meeting ends, there will surely be many Alchemist who want to join the Alliance. You are in charge of this matter. As long as they are not bullies, they can all be recruited into the Pill Hall."

Gu He bowed and replied, "Yes, Alliance Leader."

He then looked at Hai Bodong: "Elder Hai, starting today, the Alliance will enter a period of rapid development. Vientiane Auction House will also expand to various places along with the Alliance's growing power. Remember to keep a close eye on things."

"Besides, Elder Hai, your strength should also be improved; your Dou Zong level is a bit weak."

After saying that, Xiao Yan directly tossed out a Storage Ring: "Elder Hai, this contains some pills that can improve cultivation and accelerate cultivation speed. Improve your cultivation as much as possible. You are someone I trust, and I don't want you to be relegated to remote places because of your lack of strength in the future."

Hai Bodong accepted the Storage Ring, his eyes filled with emotion.

Even now, he still feels that choosing to follow Xiao Yan without hesitation was the best decision he ever made in his life.

"Alliance Leader, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation!" Hai Bodong's eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.

He was, after all, a genius who could achieve the status of Dou Emperor in a remote place like the Jia Ma Empire. Given enough resources, he might very well reach Dou Venerate in the future.

He didn't aspire to too much; as long as he could reach the Dou Venerate cultivation level, enough to help Xiao Yan, that would be sufficient.

Xiao Yan nodded, then looked at Xiao Li: "Second brother, you are not far from reaching the Dou Zong. I will refine the Imperial Extreme Pill and the Break-Ancestor Pill for you. Take them and digest them, and break through to the Dou Zong as soon as possible."

Like a wholesaler of Storage Ring, Xiao Yan tossed a Storage Ring to Xiao Li as well.

Xiao Li didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the gift, and nodded to Xiao Yan: "Understood!"

Next up are Mo Tianxing and Venerable Skyfire.

As for Mo Tianxing, Xiao Yan simply told him to prepare himself and wait for the Tian Shu Alliance to expand its equipment to the entire Northwest Continent, at which point the Black-Corner Region would be handed over to him to manage.

As for Venerable Skyfire, Xiao Yan still had him build Space Channel from the Black-Corner Region to various places in the Northwest Continent, and also... to the Central Plains.

Finally, Xiao Yan instructed Xiao Ding, "Brother, my face has been exposed. In the near future, the Xiao Clan will inevitably be investigated. Although the family has the Dou Zun Puppet I gave it to protect it, remember to check it occasionally."

"Secondly, I'll leave the development of the Alliance entirely to you, brother."

Xiao Ding nodded, his expression serious. "I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Having finished his business, Xiao Yan turned to the four women who were waiting for him and smiled at Qing Lin, saying, "Qing Lin, here's this pill for you."

He took out the Primordial Origin Pill and brought it to Qing Lin's lips.

Her pink lips parted and closed, and Qing Lin quickly waved her hand, saying, "No... no need, Young Master Xiao Yan, this pill is too precious, Qing Lin can't accept it."

Primordial Origin Pill's main function is to strengthen the body's foundation and reshape its roots.

This elixir is mainly used to lay a foundation for infants and young children; in the original story, he used it on his daughter, Xiao Xiao.

However, this Primordial Origin Pill is actually of great use to people with special constitutions like Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian.

While their special physique allows them to rapidly improve their cultivation, it is inevitable that their cultivation will become somewhat unstable.

Xiao Yi Xian is alright; after he obtained the [Yin-Yang] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, he replenished his Yin-Yang, making his foundation extremely stable.

As for Qing Lin, naturally only the Primordial Origin Pill can be used.

"Qing Lin, be good, take this and eat it. Only by laying a solid foundation can you improve your cultivation faster and keep up with my pace in the future," Xiao Yan said.

"Young Master Xiao Yan ..." A trace of affection flashed in Qing Lin's eyes. She opened her mouth and swallowed the Primordial Origin Pill. Her soft lips seemed to make brief, unintentional contact with Xiao Yan's fingers.

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat; he felt that Qing Lin had truly grown up.

He looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Queen Medusa, his eyes speaking volumes.

The two women exchanged a glance and chose to accept the challenge.
