Departure

Inside the Medicine Cauldron, only two lights, one blue and one red, flickered alternately. Master Huan had already withdrawn from alchemy. The fusion of his portion of the pills was complete. Now, to fuse the two portions of the pills together, a vast amount of Soul Power was required, which Master Huan could not sustain.

Master Huan glanced at Xiao Yu, who was still refining pills, sighed slightly, and left the stone platform. When he arrived at the other viewing platform, Master Xiao hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Master Huan looked at Master Xiao and said, "His Soul Power is much stronger than mine. He's truly a freak. His technique for refining and fusing medicinal herbs is extremely skillful, and his control over flames is unparalleled. I don't think it will be long before we see a young Alchemy Grandmaster emerge!"

These alchemists were all astonished by Master Huan's words. Eighth-Tier Alchemy Grandmaster was no longer just a guest elder in the Pill Tower; he was a junior Pill Tower Elder could sit on the elders' seat!

Looking at Xiao Yu still refining pills in the square, everyone had a ridiculous thought, but they had to admit that Xiao Yu's Yao Tian was very strong!

After a powerful surge of Soul Power flooded into the Medicine Cauldron, the bluish-red medicinal liquid swirled continuously. Under Xiao Yu's control of his Soul Power, the Chaos Flame directly enveloped and scorched the two pools of medicinal liquid.

Time passed second by second. Under the scorching heat of the Chaos Flame, the blue-red liquid began to solidify. As the dawn of the ninth day quietly poured down from the sky, the energy of heaven and earth within the vast valley suddenly began to surge violently.

Beside the stone platform, Tang Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes immediately, and a rich and refreshing fragrance of medicine wafted out from the Medicine Cauldron.

At the same time, a thunderous roar echoed across the sky, and dark clouds began to gather overhead. Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er's faces lit up with ecstatic joy. "Pill Lightning! That's Pill Lightning attracted by Seventh-grade Pill! The Fire Bodhi Pill has been successfully refined! I won't die!"

At this moment, Tang Huo'er was at a loss for words. Her slender body trembled with excitement. When her beautiful eyes fell on Xiao Yu in the square, she couldn't help but think to herself, "He truly is my savior!"

A terrifying thunderous roar came from the sky, but for Xiao Yu, this was nothing. Compared to the thunder he experienced during his tribulation, he could easily dissipate this kind of Pill Lightning with a single punch.

However, before he could even make a move, Tang Zhen laughed heartily and said, "Young friend Xiao Yu, leave this Pill Lightning to me. You should rest well!"

With that, Tang Zhen leaped into the air, and silver flames surged forth from his hand. In just a few breaths, the thunder that had gathered in the dark clouds was dealt with by Tang Zhen.

Xiao Yu looked at the blue and red pills inside the Medicine Cauldron. The pills had already developed some intelligence and were constantly hitting the round wall of the Medicine Cauldron, making a clanging sound.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Yu unleashed a burst of energy that blew off the lid of the Medicine Cauldron. Then, a streak of azure light shot out from the Medicine Cauldron like lightning, as if trying to escape.

Unfortunately, how could Xiao Yu let this small Seventh-grade Pill escape? Xiao Yu grabbed the pill directly, and soon, Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er came to Xiao Yu's side.

Looking at the blue and red pill in Xiao Yu's hand, Tang Huo'er carefully held it in her palm; this was her only hope for survival.

Tang Zhen then invited all the alchemists out, giving them generous gifts. Xiao Yu, however, was kept behind alone because he had successfully refined the Fire Bodhi Pill, and Tang Zhen would personally inquire about the reward Xiao Yu would receive.

Inside a large hall in Fenyang Valley, five figures sat: four of them were Tang Zhen, Tang Huo'er, the Second Elder and the Third Elder of Fenyang Valley, and the other was Xiao Yu.

Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Yu and chuckled, "This time, the refining of the Fire Bodhi Pill owes a great deal to our young friend Xiao Yu. We had promised a reward, but we still need to ask for your opinion on the reward. If you need anything, our Fenyang Valley will certainly provide it."

The Second Elder and Third Elder were also observing Xiao Yu, but with their cultivation levels, they couldn't discern anything. Moreover, Xiao Yu was Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist, and even their Fenyang Valley treated him with great respect. They guessed that Xiao Yu's strength must be considerable.

Tang Huo'er also watched Xiao Yu with great interest. He was so young yet possessed such powerful alchemy skills. She wondered how strong he really was. She was quite the warmonger herself.

Xiao Yu smiled at Tang Zhen and said, "Actually, I came to Fenyang Valley this time to help a friend of mine. I have no interest in anything from Fenyang Valley, but since I've helped you, this reward is what I deserve!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tang Huo'er immediately retorted unhappily, "My mighty Fenyang Valley, and you look down on none of them?"

Xiao Yu's gaze fell on Tang Huo'er. She had a slender figure, long hair that cascaded down to her hips, and a rosy face. She exuded a graceful and heroic air. However, Tang Huo'er felt a little uncomfortable under Xiao Yu 'Xiao Yu gaze and glared at him slightly, saying, "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Yu chuckled, then turned his gaze to Tang Zhen and said, "How about this? I don't want anything, but your Burning Fenyang Valley Fenyang Valley owes me a favor. If I ever need your help in the future, you must do your best to assist me, okay?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tang Zhen, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder all frowned slightly. After all, they could give him other things, but if they incurred a favor, would the Fenyang Valley also be obliged if he were to help them do something detrimental to Fenyang Valley in the future?

Seeing Tang Zhen and the others hesitate, Xiao Yu said, "Please rest assured, everyone. I will definitely not ask Fenyang Valley to do anything that would put you in a difficult position. If Fenyang Valley finds it difficult, you are naturally free not to do it."

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tang Zhen immediately laughed and said, "Young friend Xiao Yu, you flatter me. You are my daughter's savior. If it's inconvenient for my Fenyang Valley to intervene, I will personally help you!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That would be the best!"

Tang Zhen is Five-Star Peak Dou Venerate, a big shot in his own right. Moreover, there is a Dou Sheng Expert, Ancestor Huoyun, in Fenyang Valley. Among all the forces in Central Plains, Fenyang Valley is only slightly inferior to the One Hall, One Tower.

Now that a consensus had been reached, Xiao Yu didn't linger and bid farewell to Tang Zhen, saying, "Young friend, I'll have Elder Chi Huo see you off!"

Xiao Yu refused, saying, "That's not necessary. I don't know the way I came, but leaving is easy!"

The next moment, an extremely terrifying aura of Dou Qi suddenly rose from Xiao Yu's body. The Second Elder and the Third Elder beside him immediately changed their expressions. Under this aura, the Dou Qi in their bodies was somewhat blocked. Tang Zhen, the Five-Star Peak Dou Venerate, looked at Xiao Yu with a solemn expression.

Buzz!

Xiao Yu tore open a pitch-black spatial rift, and then Xiao Yu figure disappeared from the spot.
