Misunderstanding: Tang Huo'er's Heart Stirred
In the main hall of Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen was discussing some matters with the Second Elder and the Third Elder.
Xiao Yan rushed over from afar and only vaguely heard them talking about "a happy marriage" and "a perfect match," and they even mentioned his and Tang Huo'er's names.
He pretended not to hear and asked Tang Zhen.
"Valley Master Tang, is there any suitable place in Burning Flame Valley for refining elixirs?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Tang Zhen immediately assumed that Xiao Yan wanted to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill. He thought Xiao Yan was a man of his word and couldn't help but admire him even more.
Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Young friend Xiao Yan, there's no rush to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill. You've only just received the inheritance, so take a rest first."
Moreover, our Burning Flame Valley has only managed to collect one portion of that Medicinal Herbs.
" For High Seventh Grade pill, you'd need at least three sets of Medicinal Herbs to be on the safe side."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Yan immediately understood that it was a misunderstanding.
He hesitated for a moment, but did not refute.
Ultimately, they all need to be refined. Whether he refines the Fire Bodhi Pill first or his own Tier 8 Medicinal Pill first, it doesn't make much difference.
He decided to go along with Tang Zhen's suggestion and replied, "Valley Master Tang, accepting the inheritance doesn't require much mental effort and won't hinder the refining of elixirs."
"One dose of Medicinal Herbs is enough to refine one Fire Bodhi Pill. Since that's the case, it's best to refine it as soon as possible so that Miss Tang can recover her health quickly."
Hearing Xiao Yan say this, insisting on refining the pills, Tang Zhen and the two elders exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
The three of them thought in unison, "High Seventh Grade pills are not so easy to refine. Unless you are Eighth-Rank Alchemist, who can guarantee that a single batch of Medicinal Herbs can be refined into a single pill?"
"Xiao Yan is still young, and a little too eager to show off his abilities."
Tang Zhen went a step further after reading Xiao Yan's last words. "Judging from Xiao Yan's words, he was also Heart Flame Huo'er's injuries, which is why he was in such a hurry to refine the pills?"
"As expected of my daughter, even a prodigy like Xiao Yan is tempted."
"Looks like things will go very smoothly in bringing Huo'er and him together, hahaha."
After a brief moment of distraction, Tang Zhen smiled and said to Xiao Yan, "Young friend Xiao Yan, since you wish to refine it, we will not stop you."
"Our Burning Flame Valley is backed by the Blazing Fire Mountain Range, where fire-elemental energy is abundant, making it a good place to refine pills."
"However, Tier 7 Medicinal Pill will attract Pill Lightning, so let's refine them in the main hall of our Burning Flame Valley. There is a stone platform there, which is where I usually refine pills."
Tang Zhen led Xiao Yan away, flying towards the main hall of Burning Flame Valley, chatting as they flew.
Tang Zhen said with a self-deprecating laugh, "It's kind of funny, really. I don't have the Heaven-Swallowing Talent for alchemy, and my Soul Perception isn't up to par."
"However, I have a particular fondness for refining pills, so I need to ask other Alchemist to help me condense the pills."
"Young friend Xiao Yan, you are so young yet you can refine High Seventh Grade pills. It's truly enviable."
Xiao Yan retorted with a compliment, " For Valley Master Tang to be able to refine pills under such circumstances, his Flame Control Technique is truly masterful."
Speaking of Flame Control Technique, Tang Zhen's face clearly showed a hint of arrogance as he replied, "Haha, when it comes to this, I won't be modest with you, young friend Xiao Yan."
"Our Burning Flame Valley primarily uses fire-attribute Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, and our Flame Control Technique are second only to the Pill Tower."
"My personal Heaven-Swallowing Talent in Flame Control Technique allows me to master all the Flame Control Technique of Burning Flame Valley."
"In terms of fire control alone, I admit I am not as good as your master, Venerable Yao, but I am no less skilled than an average Eighth-Rank Alchemist."
"Once you finish refining the Fire Bodhi Pill, young friend Xiao Yan, you can learn from me."
Xiao Yan didn't refuse arrogantly, but smiled and nodded, replying, "Well then, thank you very much, Valley Master Tang."
While they were chatting, the two arrived at the main hall of Burning Flame Valley.
Inside this main hall, there is a relatively high stone platform, in a good location with a wide view.
Xiao Yan stepped forward and nodded in approval.
Upon seeing this, Tang Zhen said, "Young friend Xiao Yan, would you like our Burning Flame Valley to prepare Medicine Cauldron?"
"To be honest, I love alchemy, so I specially collected a top-tier Medicine Cauldron that is listed on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, the Mountain Melting Cauldron."
At this point, Tang Zhen took out his precious Medicine Cauldron and said to Xiao Yan:
"If, young friend Xiao Yan, your relationship with my Burning Flame Valley deepens further in the future, then I might as well pass this Medicine Cauldron on to you."
Tang Zhen didn't explain how to deepen the understanding, but Xiao Yan certainly understood.
It's nothing more than getting close to Tang Huo'er, even to the point of near-negative distance, and becoming a good son-in-law of Burning Flame Valley.
Unfortunately, Tang Zhen's plan was basically useless.
Others might be tempted by the Mountain Melting Cauldron, but Xiao Yan already had a suitable Medicine Cauldron.
He smiled politely, took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron, and placed it next to the Mountain Melting Cauldron.
The two Medicine Cauldron were placed together, both of which were top-of-the-line. In fact, Xiao Yan's Myriad Beast Cauldron, having been tempered by the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, was of even higher quality.
"Valley Master Tang, there's no need. My Myriad Beast Cauldron is enough," Xiao Yan said.
When Tang Zhen saw that Xiao Yan had taken out the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which was Heavenly Cauldron Ranking and seemed to be even better than his own Mountain Melting Cauldron, he smiled awkwardly and put the Mountain Melting Cauldron back.
"So young friend Xiao Yan also possesses a Heavenly Cauldron. What good fortune!"
Xiao Yan did not refute it.
Soon, the Second Elder of Burning Flame Valley also arrived, bringing with him the prescription and Medicinal Herbs for the Fire Bodhi Pill.
Xiao Yan took the prescription and Medicinal Herbs, and began to browse the prescription.
Unlike the original story, he obtained the formula for this valuable High Seventh Grade pill for free.
Just after he finished reviewing the prescription, the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley arrived here with Tang Huo'er.
What does it mean?
Xiao Yan nodded as a greeting, then used his Soul Power to suspend the Medicinal Herbs in mid-air for later use.
Below, Tang Huo'er asked Tang Zhen, "Father, what kind of elixir is Xiao Yan trying to refine?"
Tang Zhen replied with a smile, "Fire Bodhi Pill."
"Fire Bodhi Pill? That pill that heals my internal injuries? Why are you in such a hurry?" Tang Huo'er asked, puzzled.
Tang Zhen's lips curled up even higher. "Originally, I didn't intend to rush it, but Xiao Yan insisted on refining it."
"Did you know that his exact words were, 'The sooner it's refined, the better, so that Miss Tang can recover as quickly as possible'? Haha, he's so anxious because he Heart Flame your health, Huo'er."
Tang Huo'er's face flushed instantly, and she turned her head away, her fiery red hair swaying as she did so, as bright and beautiful as fire.
This forthright woman, it's rare to see her so shy.
Tang Huo'er felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
So it turns out... Xiao Yan cared about her even though he didn't say it.
On the stone platform, Xiao Yan was unaware that his two casual remarks had created a wonderful illusion.
He touched the Myriad Beast Cauldron, and then summoned black and white flames.
Since the goal is to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill to restore Tang Huo'er's injuries, it is natural to use the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, which represent [balance].
