Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill, a Dou Zong's One-Star Advancement!

High in the sky.

Xiao Yan unleashed a stream of fire, obscuring the view of everyone below.

The entire Imperial Plaza was ablaze with flames, and only Xiao Yan's shadow could be vaguely seen amidst the firelight as he charged headlong into the silver-white Pill Lightning.

Boom--!

As the first Pill Lightning struck, Xiao Yan spread his body and stepped forward to meet it.

"No!" Yun Yun activated her Dou Qi, trying to break through the flames and rush over.

"Sect Master Yun, don't be impulsive!" Hai Bodong released a chilling Dou Qi to stop Yun Yun, his expression serious. "You must trust him."

Yun Yun gripped her sword tightly, her voice trembling slightly. "Yes, he'll be alright!"

Hai Bodong glanced at Yun Yun with a strange look in his eyes.

He could sense that Yun Yun's worry had clearly exceeded certain limits, given the closeness of her relationship with Xiao Yan...

Hai Bodong silently moved a little distance away, refocusing his gaze on the firelight.

Through the firelight, one could see Xiao Yan facing the lightning head-on, his body crumbling like quicksand.

But before anyone could react, his body began to slowly recover.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

It's unclear how many Pill Lightning struck, but Xiao Yan's body underwent countless collapses and reconstructions.

The dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed.

Xiao Yan clenched his fist, feeling the increased power within his body, and thought to himself, "The conversion efficiency of the Thunder Swallowing Method is still too low. This one round of pill Pill Lightning has only improved my physical attributes by a small amount; the bottleneck has only been partially broken."

"It seems I'll need to consume quite a few things to break through to the Seventh Rank."

"I have a feeling that if I really break through to the physical strength of Tier 7 Magical Beast, something very important awaits me."

Xiao Yan collected his thoughts, glanced at his naked body, took out the Alchemist's robe from his Storage Ring, and put it on.

To prevent the expensive robe from being damaged, he deliberately put it away before facing Pill Lightning.

He fumbled around in his Storage Ring for a moment, then took out a mask and put it on his face.

After confirming that he was fully prepared, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and the flames covering the entire Square below transformed into thin lines that burrowed back into his body.

The entire Imperial Plaza has been restored to its former brightness.

After waiting for a long time, Yun Yun and the other three rushed to Xiao Yan's side.

"Yan Xiao!" Yun Yun called out with concern in her eyes.

"I knew you could do it." Hai Bodong said with a smile in his eyes.

Fama and Jia Xingtian also had smiles on their faces.

"Master Yan Xiao's skills are remarkable; he was even able to handle such terrifying Pill Lightning," Fama praised.

"Even Dou Zong expert wouldn't dare to be as valiant as Master Yan Xiao with such terrifying lightning," Jia Xingtian couldn't help but say.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Jia Lao would say it's reckless, wouldn't you say?"

Jia Xingtian quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Xiao Yan shook his head and laughed, "It's alright, I was indeed a bit reckless."

"Besides, facing such terrifying lightning, Jia Lao didn't dare to come up and help me; he's not much more rational than me."

Jia Xingtian was taken aback, then a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes, and he laughed, "Hahaha, it's only right, it's only right!"

Xiao Yan then looked at Fama: "Master Fama, that alchemy notebook was just something I jotted down casually. It's incomplete, not detailed, and disorganized."

"Hmm... I'll put together a new one for you tomorrow."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, even the usually composed and elderly Fama couldn't help but let his lips curl into a wide smile.

"Yan Xiao, are you alright? Do you have any hidden injuries?" Yun Yun stepped forward and asked with concern.

Xiao Yan's eyes softened slightly, and he shook his head, saying, "That Pill Lightning looked terrifying, but you think I simply endured it head-on. In reality, I used a special Secret Technique. It looked terrifying, but it didn't really cause any serious harm."

"If you don't believe me, just sense my aura and you'll know."

Yun Yun did as instructed, sensing Xiao Yan's aura, and discovered that not only was he unharmed, but he had actually grown stronger.

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, all her worries disappearing.

Realizing that this was the Alchemist Conference, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she raised her voice and hurriedly said, "Master Yan Xiao, thankfully you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find another Alchemist capable of refining the Imperial Extreme Pill."

Xiao Yan instantly understood Yun Yun's thoughts and cooperated, saying, "Don't worry, the promised Imperial Extreme Pill is not a problem."

This dialogue is now complete.

Many people's perspectives have shifted.

Seeing how anxious Yun Yun was, they even speculated whether Yun Yun and Xiao Yan had some kind of special relationship.

Now it seems that Yun Yun's concern was only about her own pills.

In the VIP section.

Gu He withdrew his gaze from Yun Yun and instead turned his attention to the Medicine Cauldron on the high platform. The Tier 7 Medicinal Pill that had already taken shape inside the Medicine Cauldron completely attracted his attention.

"So that's how it is," Nalan Yanran muttered, but she couldn't relax the tension in her heart.

She wasn't stupid; how could she not see the atmosphere between her master and Yan Xiao?

She could barely convince herself before, but her master's tense appearance not long ago could definitely not be because of a single Imperial Extreme Pill.

If others don't know, how could she not know?

Although her master was one of the top Dou Huang expert in the Jia Ma Empire, he was not particularly enthusiastic about strength.

It's just a Imperial Extreme Pill that can enhance cultivation, and it's only a transaction with Yan Xiao, not a direct acquisition of the pill. How could he be so worried?

Nalan Yanran fell into deep thought.

High in the sky.

Xiao Yan exchanged a few words with Yun Yun and the other three, then returned to the high platform and put away the Medicine Cauldron.

He deliberately didn't put the pill away, leaving it suspended in his palm as he flew back to the VIP seats.

Yun Yun and the other three followed closely behind.

As soon as he landed, everyone's eyes were drawn to the red and blue pill in his hand.

Tier 7 Medicinal Pill something most people rarely even hear about in their entire lives, let alone observe or smell at such close range.

They looked at the top-grade elixir with great curiosity and desire.

This is especially true of Gu He, besides Xiao Yan, possesses the strongest alchemy skills among those present.

He stared intently at the pill in Xiao Yan's hand, even wanting to reach out and touch it.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly, summoned flames, and lightly roasted Gu He.

Gu He snapped back to his senses, withdrew his hand, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "I apologize, Master Yan Xiao, I simply couldn't control myself for a moment."

"May I ask what the name of this pill is, and what its effects are? Could you please tell me?"

Xiao Yan stroked the pill, his eyes lighting up with joy.

He was a little worried about how to get people to ask about the effects of the pills. If no one asked about the effects of the pills, how could he use them to lure people in?

Gu He's curious question actually helped him.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's tone softened a bit. "Telling you won't hurt. This pill is called the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill. After taking it, it can directly raise the cultivation level of a low- Dou Zong by One-Star, with a maximum of four to Five-Star."

"It can raise Dou Zong's cultivation by One-Star?!" Gu He exclaimed in shock.

Fama's eyes widened, and his mouth involuntarily opened.

Vice President Qie Mi'er felt his heart pounding, an indescribable excitement welling up inside him.

Apart from the three, the other Alchemist and Dou Zhe didn't react much better either.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's eyes were fixed on the pill in Xiao Yan's hand.

A pill that can raise Dou Zong's cultivation level by One-Star is incredibly valuable!
