Leaving Music Valley, Arriving at Pill City

After absorbing both Heavenly Flames, Yao Lao also sent a message that Xiao Yan no longer had any reason to stay in the Music Valley.

Leaving the Quiet Room, sensing the presence of others, he found Yun Yun.

Unlike before entering the Quiet Room, Yun Yun was now wearing a pure white robe with curved, symmetrical silver patterns printed on it, and on her chest was a special symbol representing the Music Valley.

"Yun'er," Xiao Yan called out.

Yun Yun was sitting cross-legged in meditation, her beautiful eyes closed. The unfamiliar Dou Qi within her body was being transformed little by little, and her cultivation was improving at a rate dozens of times faster than normal cultivation.

Sensing a familiar presence approaching, she opened her beautiful eyes and saw Xiao Yan without his mask. Looking at that face, which seemed even more handsome and captivating than before, Yun Yun curled her toes and slightly tightened her lower abdomen.

A few seconds later, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she said softly, "Xiao Yan, you've emerged from seclusion."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, not noticing Yun Yun's unusual expression, and replied, "Yes, those two Heavenly Flames have been completely absorbed."

"Did I go into seclusion for a few days?"

Yun Yun felt that Xiao Yan's smile was really unfair. She paused for a few seconds, then suddenly relaxed before saying, "It should have been five days."

"The past five days? No wonder my teacher sent me messages." Xiao Yan said knowingly.

This timeframe is considered his normal efficiency.

One was ranked thirteenth, and the other was ranked twelfth. Both were above-average Heavenly Flames. Five days wasn't a long time; he was only half a day late in receiving Yao Lao's message.

Unfortunately...

"Yun'er, I came to see you this time to tell you that I'm leaving." Xiao Yan was reluctant to part with her, but he didn't show his emotions on his face, afraid that Yun Yun would also be sad.

"Are you leaving?" Yun Yun pursed her lips. It was natural to be reluctant, but she knew perfectly well that Xiao Yan couldn't stop because of the Three-Year Agreement with that Ancient Emperor Clans.

She couldn't let her reluctance hold Xiao Yan back, but... her heart still ached terribly...

"Yun'er, this separation won't be too long. Once I've completed my plans and obtained the Heavenly Flames, I'll focus my energy on the development of the Tian Shu Alliance."

"At that time, we'll definitely need Music Valley's help, and we'll have plenty of time to spend together," Xiao Yan comforted him.

Yun Yun's emotions eased slightly, and she said, "During the few days you were in seclusion absorbing the Heavenly Flames, the old valley master passed the position to me. I will try my best to monopolize the power of the Music Valley so that I can help you in the future."

Xiao Yan remained silent.

Yun Yun also fell silent.

Yun Yun felt that Xiao Yan should make it up to her.

Outside the Music Valley Miniature World.

A figure appeared amidst the spatial fluctuations.

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, glanced at his fingers which were still damp and smelled slightly fishy, and cleaned them with the Sea Heart Flame.

"Phew, Yun Yun... she's more accepting than before. Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long?" Xiao Yan glanced back, then disappeared into the distance.

Like the Burning Flame Valley and the Music Valley, the Pill Tower is located in the most prosperous Central Region of the Central Plains.

Unlike the latter two, the location of the Pill Tower is much more advantageous.

In other words, the center of the continent is Central Plains, the center of the four regions is Central Region, and the center of Central Region is Pill Tower.

In the eyes of many, the sphere of influence centered on the Pill Tower should even be referred to simply as the Pill Region.

Throughout the entire Pill Region, Holy Pill City, as the headquarters of the Pill Tower, is the absolute core.

Outside of Holy Pill City, the five major families of Dan, Cao, Bai, Qiu, and Ye each established a city with the same surname as their family.

Pill City, Cao City, Bai City, Qiu City, and Ye City —these five cities, belonging to the five major families, occupy different locations and encircle Holy Pill City in a ring.

At this moment, in the Dan Clan's Pill City.

Xiao Yan sat down at a restaurant and ordered a table full of food.

Having reached his current level, he no longer needs to eat to replenish his energy, but eating is still considered a form of enjoyment.

The distance from the southwest region to Holy Pill City is simply too far.

His understanding of the Dao of Space was almost at its peak at the Dou Zun Realm, but there was still a huge gap between him and Dou Sheng or even Semi-Saint, making it impossible for him to reach it as quickly as Yao Lao.

After traveling for many days, we finally arrived at the Pill Region, and we were inevitably a little tired.

Within Pill City, there is Space Wormhole managed by the Dan Clan. With a quick transfer, one can reach Holy Pill City. Outsiders can also borrow it by paying money.

He's planning to spend a little money now and take a break.

Well, but wait until he finishes eating.

Inside the restaurant, Xiao Yan ate his meal as if no one else was around.

Diners around would occasionally look up and steal a glance at this handsome, dashing young man with a refined and aloof demeanor.

Xiao Yan was already used to this.

After several evolutions, its appearance and temperament have reached a terrifying level, making it no exaggeration to say that it is loved at first sight.

However, it's precisely because he rarely interacts with outsiders that he doesn't seem to have changed much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue Tang Huo'er, that arrogant and disdainful person from Burning Flame Valley, in such a short time.

"It seems I can't live without the mask anymore. Before, it was to conceal my identity, and now it's to attract less attention." After finishing his meal, Xiao Yan took out the Flame Mask from his Storage Ring and put it on.

Immediately, a series of quiet sighs and disappointed looks came from the surrounding area.

Xiao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, got up, and walked out of the restaurant.

As I approached the restaurant entrance, I bumped into two figures, a man and a woman. The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the woman was about twelve or thirteen. They looked somewhat alike, suggesting they were related by blood.

Dan Xuan smiled and said to the girl beside him, "Chen'er, I just reached the initial level of the Seventh Tier. Although it was a bit difficult, I finally passed it. In a few more years, reaching the Seventh-grade Intermediate will not be a problem."

Although it's not as good as yours, it's still something to celebrate.

This restaurant is pretty good, you should try it. Staying cooped up at home all the time isn't good either. Just be careful not to run into anyone.

Dan Chen nodded timidly, her voice barely audible. "I understand... Cousin."

Xiao Yan overheard their conversation and took another look. Combining their dialogue with the clan emblems bearing medicinal pill patterns on their bodies, Xiao Yan confirmed their identities.

He marveled at the coincidence; he had actually run into two of the Dan Clan's prodigies from the original story, Dan Xuan and Dan Chen.

Especially Dan Chen, according to the original novel, when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, her alchemy skills had reached the Eighth Tier, and she could attract Two-Colored Pill Lightning. This Heaven-Swallowing Talent was truly terrifying, even more frightening than the geniuses of the Yao Clan.

"But she looks about fourteen or fifteen years old now. In five years, she should be nineteen or twenty. Is it because her body isn't developing well, so she looks younger? She looks fourteen or fifteen now, but could her bone age already be seventeen or eighteen?" Xiao Yan wondered to himself.

In the end, Xiao Yan thought about it and decided not to contact the two of them.

He was interested in Dan Chen's special physique that allowed him to absorb Soul Power, but he needed to hurry to Holy Pill City to meet his teacher. He could deal with contacting Dan Chen later.

However, many things in the world often develop in the opposite direction to human will.

Xiao Yan walked out of the restaurant, and Dan Xuan and Dan Chen walked in. In the short time it took for their figures to pass each other, Dan Chen suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Yan's back.

That timid voice suddenly burst forth with unexpected power. "Hello, could you stop for a moment?"
