Tang Zhen

Among the One Hall, One Tower, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions in Central Plains, apart from the unique and mysterious Sound Valley and the neutral Pill Tower, the Fenyang Valley is probably the most peaceful. This can also be seen from the management of Tianhuang City, where whoever has the ability can benefit.

Xiao Yu also had a favorable impression of Fenyang Valley, and he knew that Fenyang Valley and Xiao Xuan had some connection. However, these were not the most important things. The most important thing was that now that Xiao Yu had helped Fenyang Valley, he would definitely make Fenyang Valley owe him a favor, which would play a crucial role in the next stage of development of the Underworld.

Among the Four Pavilions, the Wind Thunder Pavilion is the most arrogant and domineering. Moreover, the Wind Thunder Pavilion has some connection with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, one of the Three Great Magical Beast Families. If the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Heavenly Demon Phoenix that its essence blood is in its hands, there will inevitably be a great battle. At that time, the Wind Thunder Pavilion will surely serve the Heavenly Demon Phoenix faithfully.

Therefore, Xiao Yu decided that the Underworld would directly annex the Wind Thunder Pavilion and quickly create a situation of One Hall, One Tower, one mansion Three Valleys and three pavilions. This way, the Underworld could quickly gain an advantage in the Central Plains!

Fenyang Valley is located in the Blazing Volcano Range in the southwest of the Central Region. It is composed of volcanoes, and as far as the eye can see, it is a crimson color. When Xiao Yu first arrived here, he felt an extremely strong Fire Attribute energy. If Fire Attribute person were to cultivate here, they would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

On the giant bird's back, Elder Chi Huo smiled and introduced, "This is already the central region of Fenyang Valley. The Blazing Volcano Range have a considerable reputation throughout the Central Plains. We, Fenyang Valley, established our valley here because this place is suitable for our development!"

This place isn't far from Tianhuang City; it only takes half a day to get here. Along the way, you can see many people coming from outside.

"These are all people who practice Fire Attribute techniques and risk coming here to cultivate. Our Fenyang Valley will not refuse these people from coming, provided that they do not enter the core area of our Fenyang Valley!" Elder Chi Huo explained with a smile.

As Xiao Yu watched, he nodded. He could vaguely sense that the Fire Attribute energy around him was no longer so docile, but was gradually becoming violent. The Fire Attribute energy was several times more concentrated than that outside, and it was comparable to the fire poison cultivated in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower of the Jia Nan Academy.

Seeing Xiao Yu frown, Elder Chi Huo said, "It seems that Mr. Xiao Yu has also discovered that the core area of Fenyang Valley possesses such violent energy, and even contains fire poison. This is one of the reasons why outsiders dare not come to Fenyang Valley!"

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "It seems your Fenyang Valley's cultivation techniques are quite sophisticated. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cultivate here for decades!"

Elder Chi Huo simply smiled and didn't reply. Soon, a crimson line of fire appeared before Xiao Yu's eyes, with numerous volcanoes flowing with crimson lava nestled within, creating an extremely majestic and spectacular sight.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, we've arrived!" Elder Chi Huo lightly stomped his foot on the giant bird's body, and the giant bird began to slowly descend.

When Xiao Yu stood here, he realized that the ground was crimson red, the temperature was extremely high, and there was not a single green plant in sight. The environment here was much harsher than he had imagined.

Led by Elder Chi Huo, Xiao Yu walked up a stone staircase and watched as Elder Chi Huo took out a crimson jade tablet from his robes and gently pressed it against the spatial barrier in front of him. A strange spatial fluctuation slowly spread out, and the next moment, a portal appeared in front of Xiao Yu.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, please!" Elder Chi Huo smiled at Xiao Yu, then stepped directly into the spatial portal, and Xiao Yu followed him in.

What appeared before Xiao Yu was a verdant green. The temperature here was much lower than outside, but it was a normal temperature. It seemed that this place could be considered a world of its own.

Just as the two appeared, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly arose around them, and more than a dozen figures flashed out from the forest at great speed. When they saw that it was Elder Chi Huo with a young man, their guard was slightly lowered.

However, when their gazes fell upon the badge on Xiao Yu's chest, they all gasped in shock.

"He's actually Seventh-grade Alchemist? So young?"

"It must be a senior. They probably took some beauty-enhancing pills. This senior is Seventh-grade Alchemist; maintaining youth is quite easy for them."

"I think so too, otherwise, this Yao Tian would be terrifying."

"Ahem!" Elder Chi Huo coughed twice, interrupting their discussion, then waved his sleeve and said lightly, "Have you all finished your cultivation homework? Shouldn't we continue patrolling the valley?"

Hearing Elder Chi Huo's shout, the crowd scattered. Elder Chi Huo then said apologetically, "Please forgive my rudeness, sir. I will take you to see our Valley Master immediately!"

Chi Huo excitedly led Xiao Yu towards the depths of Fenyang Valley. Soon, a heavily guarded, fiery red hall appeared before Xiao Yu's eyes. There were many Fenyang Valley disciples guarding the hall, their wary eyes constantly sweeping around.

Following Elder Chi Huo, they passed through the heavily guarded area and pushed open the gate. As the gate opened, Elder Chi Huo excitedly addressed an elderly man seated at the head of the hall, saying, "Valley Master, we're saved! Don't worry about the pills anymore!"

Xiao Yu followed behind, his gaze also fixed on the head of the main hall, where a thin old man with red hair and dressed in simple linen clothes sat. The old man's aged face was covered with a kind smile, looking benevolent and kind-looking, which was somewhat incongruous with his fiery red hair.

"This must be Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Fenyang Valley," Xiao Yu thought to himself.

Upon hearing Elder Chi Huo's words, Tang Zhen frowned slightly and asked, "Chi Huo, what are you saying?"

Just as Tang Zhen was about to say something, he noticed that Elder Chi Huo was followed by a young man dressed in an alchemist's robe. When Tang Zhen's gaze swept over the badge on Xiao Yu's chest, his mouth dropped open in astonishment.

A girl in red standing next to Tang Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist?"

At this moment, there were other alchemists standing in the main hall. When they heard the red-clothed girl's words, they all turned their gazes toward Xiao Yu.

The two elderly men, dressed in the same alchemist robes as Xiao Yu, stared in astonishment at Xiao Yu's unusually youthful face and the badge that shone with seven purple-gold stars. Even on their badges, the seventh purple-gold star was slightly dim, which meant that they could only refine low-grade Seventh-grade pills on their own!

The scene fell silent. Xiao Yu, unconcerned by their gazes, smiled slightly at Tang Zhen and said, "Xiao Yu greets Valley Master!"

A single sentence brought Tang Zhen back to his senses. His gaze then slowly swept over Xiao Yu, but he was surprised to find that he could not detect the other party's aura at all!
