"A True Hero Indeed," a Meeting with Jia Xingtian, and the Nether Poison Flame!
"What kind of Heavenly Flames is this?" Xiao Yan asked impatiently.
Hai Bodong shook his head and said, "Oh, I don't know either. He just said that if you're not interested in the resources I mentioned earlier, then tell me what he knows about the Heavenly Flames."
"The way he's keeping things so secret, I suspect either his information is inaccurate, or there's some kind of trap involved."
Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, then said, "In any case, I am indeed interested in the Heavenly Flames. Elder Hai, go and tell him that we should meet tomorrow at the Mittal Auction House."
Hai Bodong nodded. "No problem."
He pointed to the Storage Ring and said, "Then you should keep these resources. I think the things inside are quite valuable."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled and returned the Storage Ring to Hai Bodong's hand, "Elder Hai, these resources were given to you by him, what would it mean for me to take them?"
He was happy that Hai Bodong was willing to pay him the agency fee, not because of the resources, but because Hai Bodong hadn't hidden anything from him.
Those resources are nothing to him now that he possesses one-third of the Medicinal Herbs in the Snake-Person Treasury.
On the contrary, Hai Bodong did not hide the fact that he had secretly accepted the resources, but was willing to give them to him for him to decide. This act itself represented a sense of propriety and loyalty, which pleased him.
Given Hai Bodong's situation, he naturally couldn't afford to be narrow-minded.
Before Hai Bodong could react, he said to Mittel Teng Shan, "Senior Teng Shan, could you please go to the palace and tell Jia Lao that I will meet with him at the auction house tomorrow?"
"As for Elder Hai..." Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you to protect me. I'm going to refine the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill now."
Hai Bodong was slightly stunned for a few moments, then joy slowly welled up in his eyes, and he laughed loudly, "Haha, very good! I will protect you, young friend Xiao Yan!"
Mittel Teng Shan squinted slightly, thinking to himself, "Was it intentional or unintentional? This kind of tactic to win people's hearts is truly remarkable."
They are ruthless in dealing with foreign countries, but loyal and devoted to their own people.
He knows how to win people over and has exceptional Heaven-Swallowing Talent.
This boy is only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet he already possesses such maturity; he is truly an outstanding individual.
"It seems Elder Hai's judgment was correct. It is a blessing for the Mittel Family to be able to follow him before he fully matures," Mittel Teng Shan thought to himself.
Coming to his senses, he said to Xiao Yan, "Young friend Xiao Yan, I will go and inform Jia Xingtian. See you later."
"See you later."
Mittel Teng Shan left the courtyard.
Xiao Yan used his Soul Power to cover the entire courtyard, and then took out the Black Demon Cauldron.
Hai Bodong did things in a way that pleased him and was loyal enough. Although he wasn't exactly a close friend, he was still considered one of his own.
He never deceives his own people.
Upon seeing this, Hai Bodong immediately stood up and cautiously scanned his surroundings.
He absolutely would not allow any external force to cause Xiao Yan to fail in refining the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill!
Xiao Yan understood Hai Bodong's feelings, but the difficulty of refining the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill was not high for him, so he couldn't be nervous at all.
Xiao Yan opened his palm, and the crimson Myriad Beast Spirit Flame rose up, which he poured into the Medicine Cauldron.
Upon opening the Storage Ring, Medicinal Herbs were taken out one by one and quickly placed into the Medicine Cauldron.
Under the intense heat of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, precious Medicinal Herbs quickly transformed into pure medicinal liquid, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Xiao Yan focused his attention, using his Soul Power to control the flames, meticulously refining the medicinal liquid to its ultimate perfection.
Slowly, the medicinal liquid was condensed into a round pill the size of a longan, radiating a crystal-clear luster.
"They've arrived," Xiao Yan said calmly.
"What's here?"
Hai Bodong asked aloud, but before Xiao Yan could answer his question, he understood everything that happened next.
At a certain moment, the vast energy of heaven and earth suddenly began to stir, and an invisible pillar of energy shot straight into the sky from the Medicine Cauldron.
At the center of this cosmic energy, the elixir underwent a transformation, reaching perfection.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan sent the pill flying from the Medicine Cauldron into the jade bottle he had prepared.
The pillar of energy slowly dissipated.
The Spirit Recovery Purple Pill is complete!
Xiao Yan looked up at the sky. He had left the Nalan Family at dusk, and now the bright moon was high in the sky.
"The speed at which you're refining medicine is getting faster and faster," Xiao Yan remarked with a slight sigh.
He put away the Medicine Cauldron, leaned back, and casually tossed the jade bottle behind him.
"Hey!" Hai Bodong caught the jade bottle with lightning speed, his heart pounding.
"Elder Hai, I'm going to bed now."
"Oh, right, remember to take this pill as soon as possible. I had a good feel for it this time, and the quality of the refined pill is quite good. It contains a lot of energy. After taking it, it might even allow your cultivation to advance further than when it was at its peak." After saying this, Xiao Yan stretched and walked into the bedroom.
Hai Bodong held the pills and smiled.
He knew that following Xiao Yan was the right thing to do!
The next day.
Xiao Yan woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.
After washing up, he saw Mittel Teng Shan, who was already waiting for him.
Standing in the center of the courtyard Mittel Teng Shan watched Xiao Yan walk out of the bedroom and smiled, "Young friend Xiao Yan, have you finished washing up? When shall we head to the auction house?"
Xiao Yan replied, "Now then."
"By the way, where 'Elder Hai?"
Mittel Teng Shan's smile widened, "Elder Hai has taken the pills you refined, young friend, and his cultivation has recovered to the Five-Star Dou Emperor. Moreover, his bottleneck has loosened, and he is expected to break through to the Six-Star!"
Therefore, Elder Hai is going into seclusion for a period of time. Before he went into seclusion, he instructed me to take good care of you, young friend Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded sincerely, "I see, then that's a good thing."
"Alright, then I'll rely on Senior Teng Shan to take care of me from now on."
"Let's go to the auction house now. I'm sure Jia Lao is already waiting for me there."
Mittel Teng Shan, "Okay."
The two left the Mittel Family, their Dou Qi Transformation Wings, and flew towards the Mittal Auction House.
Soon after, we arrived at our destination.
Led by Mittel Teng Shan, Xiao Yan descended directly from the sky to the upper floors of the auction house, to the outside of a quiet and private meeting room.
He put on the mask and pushed open the door to the reception room.
Just as Xiao Yan had guessed, Jia Xingtian was already sitting inside waiting. When he saw Xiao Yan push open the door and appear, he immediately stood up and went forward enthusiastically.
"Master Yan Xiao, you've arrived. Please have a seat," Jia Xingtian said warmly.
"One doesn't hit a smiling face," Xiao Yan said after taking his seat. "Jia Lao."
After seeing Xiao Yan sit down, Mittel Teng Shan told him to call him if he needed anything, and then left.
Only Xiao Yan and Jia Xingtian remained in the reception room.
Xiao Yan wasn't good at beating around the bush or being polite, so he went straight to the point. "Jia Lao, did you call me here to have me refine the Break-Ancestor Pill?"
Jia Xingtian was taken aback by Xiao Yan's directness. However, being an experienced man, he swallowed back the long string of polite words he had prepared and said frankly, "That's right. As long as Master Yan Xiao is willing to refine a Break-Ancestor Pill for me, the Imperial Family is willing to provide a large amount of precious Medicinal Herbs and Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches."
"If you have any other needs, please feel free to ask, and the Imperial Family will do its utmost to meet them!"
Xiao Yan gave a satisfied "hmm," clearly tempted, but he didn't forget the important matter and asked about what he cared about most, "We can talk about that later. Right now, I'm more interested in knowing Jia Lao really knows anything about the Heavenly Flames?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention the Heavenly Flames, Jia Xingtian smiled awkwardly and said apologetically, "Master Yan Xiao, the information I have about the Heavenly Flames is indeed true, but this Heavenly Flames is somewhat special..."
"Oh? What's so special about it?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
Jia Xingtian sighed, "Because this Heavenly Flames is of the poison attribute."
"Poison attribute... Nether Poison Flame?!" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.
