Nine Dragon Lightning Flame Acquired, Off to Music Valley
"With the fire poison completely cleared, there are no more obstacles in my body. I never expected that I could even break through in cultivation!"
Moreover, the energy accumulated in my body has not been exhausted. Give me another two or three years, and I will definitely be able to break through to the Two-Star Dou Saint!"Fire Cloud Ancestor was undoubtedly delighted.
Not only were his hidden injuries healed and the fire poison cleared away, but his cultivation level even broke through.
He looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes practically overflowing with affection. "Xiao Yan, I wish you were my junior."
As he spoke, Fire Cloud Ancestor looked at Tang Huo'er and said to everyone, "Huo'er, you need to work harder."
Tang Huo'er thought he was implying that her cultivation was inferior to Xiao Yan's, so she nodded and said, "Ancestor, I will work hard to improve my cultivation!"
Fire Cloud Ancestor shook his head. "Hey, Huo'er, I'm not talking about cultivation level, I'm telling you to hurry up and win over Xiao Yan. You shouldn't miss such a good husband."
Tang Huo'er blushed, her face turning almost the same color as her fiery red hair.
"Ah!" Tang Huo'er covered her face and ran away.
Tang Zhen smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, "Sigh, a prodigy like Xiao Yan has countless outstanding girls eyeing him."
If the bond had been established before he grew up, perhaps it would have been possible, but now it's too late.
"Fine, even if we can't become close friends, we should still be on good terms."
He smiled and said to Xiao Yan, "Young friend Xiao Yan, as agreed, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is yours."
"I'll remove the Heavenly Flames when I get back and send it to you tomorrow."
Xiao Yan nodded. "Then I'll trouble you for another day."
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yan spent the day in Burning Flame Valley learning some fire control techniques, combining the strengths of various schools, and made some progress.
Early the next morning, the Second Elder of Burning Flame Valley knocked on his courtyard gate with a fire storage jar containing the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
After a few simple pleasantries, the Second Elder of Burning Flame Valley explained with a smile that his initial attempt to stop Xiao Yan from learning the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes was not intentional and hoped that Xiao Yan would not hold it against him.
Xiao Yan accepted the fire storage jar, without revealing whether he had forgiven her or not, only saying that it was alright.
He wouldn't dwell on such a minor incident that didn't affect the outcome of his matter, but for him to forgive was impossible.
With the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in hand, Xiao Yan had no reason to stay in Burning Flame Valley any longer.
Before leaving, he paid a visit to Fire Cloud Ancestor and Tang Zhen.
As a result, I obtained a Fire Token from Fire Cloud Ancestor. As long as I inject Dou Qi into it, I can notify Ancestor Fire Cloud Ancestor Fire Cloud Ancestor, and he will rush over as quickly as possible.
With another trump card to save his life, Xiao Yan naturally accepted it.
When he visited Tang Zhen, he found Tang Zhen to be pale, clearly indicating that the removal of the Heavenly Flames had caused him to lose a lot of his Soul Power.
Leave the Burning Flame Valley.
Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, master and disciple, stood in the air, took a breath of the air above the Blazing Fire Mountain Range mixed with volcanic ash, and then remained silent.
After a long pause, Xiao Yan spoke up, "Teacher, why aren't you getting going?"
The Yao Lao coughed twice. "Yan'er, I've never been to Music Valley either, so I don't know the exact address."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan said, "Teacher, why don't you go to the Pill Tower and make some arrangements for me? I'll find the location of the Music Valley myself."
This will be more efficient.
The Yao Lao nodded. "That's fine too."
The Yao Lao took out a Medicine Token: "Yan'er, take this Token. If anything happens, just pour your Dou Qi into it, and I will come as quickly as possible."
"Once I've finished processing things for you in the Pill Tower, I'll send you a message through this Token."
"Alright, I understand, teacher." Having received another Token, Xiao Yan parted ways with Yao Lao.
After Yao Lao disappeared, Xiao Yan thought for a moment and decided to first go to a city to gather information.
Within this Southwest Region, he changed direction and after a while, a city came into view.
Tianhuang City, a city under the control of Burning Flame Valley whose scale is in no way inferior to Tianbei City, is where two major families keep each other in check.
The two major families are the Liu Family and the Cheng Family. The Liu Family is the family of Liu Qing, a genius on the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking of the Jia Nan Academy.
Without the events depicted in the original novel, Xiao Yan didn't have a deep impression of Liu Qing. However, comparing the two families, he was ultimately more familiar with the Liu Family.
So he went directly into the Liu Family and, by revealing a little bit of his aura, caused the current head of the Liu Family to be filled with fear.
When Xiao Yan asked about the location of Music Valley, he simply took out a map of Central Plains.
The map isn't very detailed, but it records the spheres of influence and headquarters locations of the major powers, so it's clearly not a cheap map.
Xiao Yan took the map and casually left behind a Token representing the Tian Shu Alliance, without giving any further instructions.
Perhaps it will come in handy when the Tian Shu Alliance expands to the Central Region in the future.
With the map as a guide, Xiao Yan left Tianhuang City and Space Shuttle towards the location of Music Valley's power.
Music Valley.
Within the small world.
Inside the Music Pavilion, a meeting is being held.
In the main seat, Music Valley Master remained calm and composed, keeping his eyes closed and not uttering a single word.
The Grand Elder Yin Yuan is seated in the main position on the left, while the corresponding main position on the right is occupied by Yun Yun.
Besides the three of them, the Second Elder, third elder, elder of the Dou Skill Pavilion, elder of the Alchemist, and other high-ranking members of the Music Valley were also present.
Yin Yuan glanced at the assembled elders and said solemnly, "Everyone, there is only one purpose for this meeting."
"How can we restore the Valley Master to her peak condition?!"
"Since the passing of our ancestor, our Music Valley has been without Dou Sheng to oversee it. Our Valley Master, a Semi-Saint, is our greatest support."
"So let's discuss what methods we can use to extend the lifespan of the Valley Master and restore her to her peak condition."
After Yin Yuan started speaking, other elders immediately followed suit.
The Third Elder said, "The most direct way to prolong the Ancestor's life and restore him to his peak condition is to have him consume an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill."
"And the pills that can be effective for the ancestor must at least be rank Tier 8 Medicinal Pill capable of triggering Seven-Colored Pill Lightning."
"However, most of the resources in the valley were already used up when we tried to extend the life of our ancestor. Now, it's already extremely difficult to gather enough Medicinal Herbs for three doses of High-Grade Tier 8 Medicinal Pill. We simply don't have the resources to ask a High Eighth-Tier Alchemist to help us."
The people at the conference table remained somewhat silent.
Because its Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills are too effective against Soul Body like the Soul Hall, Music Valley has always been targeted by the Soul Hall. As a result, its sphere of influence has never been able to expand too much, leading to its resources being inferior to those of the Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley of the same level, and even to the lower-level Four Pavilions. Its situation can be described as miserable.
"Who says we don't have the leverage to hire High Eighth-Tier Alchemist?"
"The Heavenly Flames in Elder Yun Yun's hand is coveted by many Alchemist. If we were to exchange it, we could definitely get an Eighth-Rank Alchemist to help us refine pills, and we wouldn't even need to provide the Medicinal Herbs."
"However, that depends on whether Elder Yun is willing to make a sacrifice for us."
Yin Yuan immediately began to morally blackmail Yun Yun.
