Heaven-Swallowing Python on the Move

"The Sixth-Grade Danli possesses the remarkable effect of breaking most seals. After consuming it, one can also develop a resistance to this type of seal within the body. In the future, if one encounters this type of seal again, there will be a slight chance of immunity."

"Tsk tsk, this is really good stuff..."

After scanning the ancient parchment back and forth, Xiao Yan sighed.

"Of course, the price I paid to obtain this prescription back then still pains me to this day..."

Hai Bodong smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"Heh, no matter the cost, it's nothing compared to restoring your Dou Emperor strength."

Xiao Yan offered a word of comfort, and then, right in front of Hai Bodong, unceremoniously put the ancient prescription into his Storage Ring.

Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Hai Bodong's lips twitched involuntarily. After a long while, he could only shake his head in frustration, letting this guy take away what he had worked so hard to obtain for free.

"Wait, you can refine Sixth-Grade Pill?"

Lu Man was starting to get restless.

If Xiao Yan were truly a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, putting aside the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she would want to bring him back to the Heavenly Snake Mansion!

"I guess so..."

Xiao Yan nodded.

"Forget it, I doubt you'll come back to the Heavenly Snake Mansion with me."

Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Lu Man felt even more heartbroken. If such a genius could join the Heavenly Snake Mansion, the Heavenly Snake Mansion could expand to the Central Plains in less than ten years!

That's the goal that the Heavenly Snake Mansion has been striving for all these years!

"Hehe, I need to spend a few years at the Jia Nan Academy," Xiao Yan said with a smile. "If I have the chance later, I'll visit the Heavenly Snake Mansion."

"Alright, I'll personally come out of the manor to greet you then!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Man's eyes lit up!

In any case, building a good relationship with the young man in front of them would definitely be a win-win situation for the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

"Good."

Xiao Yan nodded, then focused his gaze on the large pile of medicinal herbs on the table. These herbs could all be considered rare items, and some of them could fetch a price of no less than 500,000 gold coins at an auction. However, even so, they were priceless and unavailable.

After all, anyone with even a little knowledge of medicinal herbs wouldn't put these rare herbs up for auction, because who knows, if they happen to meet an alchemist who needs these herbs someday, that would be a very satisfying transaction.

Perhaps out of fear of failure, Hai Bodong only prepared two or three portions of most of the medicinal herbs, which were then placed on the table in large quantities.

After carefully inspecting all the medicinal herbs and finding nothing missing, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, stored them in his storage Storage Ring, and looked up at Hai Bodong, who was watching him intently, and smiled:

"Could you please prepare a quiet room for me? Elder Hai should understand that if one is disturbed while refining medicine, many of the pills will be ruined, and the person may also suffer some injuries."

"Okay, come with me."

Nodding, Hai Bodong walked towards a side door, with Xiao Yan and Lu Man following closely behind.

Entering through the side door, a corridor appeared. The corridor was slightly dimly lit. After walking a distance with Hai Bodong, they stopped outside a door at the end of the corridor.

Upon entering the room, Xiao Yan looked around. It was neat and clean, and he nodded with a smile.

"Xiao Yan, how is it here?" Hai Bodong asked with a smile. After seeing Xiao Yan nod, he continued, "In that case, please refine your pills here. I will guard outside the corridor, and no one will disturb you during this time."

"I'll also protect you. I'm very curious whether you can really refine Sixth-Grade Pill."

Lu Man said with a smile.

After saying that, the two walked out of the room, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

"You're really good with women, kid. You managed to get a Dou Emperor to protect you so easily."

The Old Yao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.

"There's no other way. Although I know a bit about Elder Hai, I can't be sure if he's really the same person I know. I always have to be on guard. This Dou Emperor from the Heavenly Snake Mansion does need my help, so I think she won't mind if I ask her for a small favor."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"If only I had your shamelessness back in the day..."

The Old Yao was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this; this disciple was indeed far more adept than him at handling relationships with women.

Back then, he would blush and his heart would race if he was even slightly flirted with, unlike Xiao Yan, who would call him "sister" this and "sister" that, with such a sweet voice!

But this kid really is a child, so calling him that doesn't sound pretentious at all...

"Hey, teacher, time to get to work!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and replied.

"You little brat!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Yao floated out of the ring with a sense of helplessness.

"In another three to five years, I'll be able to refine it myself, but right now I can't!"

Xiao Yan shrugged and said.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Old Yao rolled his eyes, sighed, and sat down beside the table. He casually fiddled with the medicinal herbs on it, then waved his hand at Xiao Yan. Instantly, the ancient black ring that was on Xiao Yan's finger landed in Old Yao's hand.

Carefully placing the black ring in his hand, the Old Yao apothecary flicked his finger, and a pure black medicine cauldron, as large as a tabletop, suddenly appeared.

The black medicine cauldron was quite robust, exuding a calm aura. Its surface was painted with lifelike flame totems, which seemed almost real as the cauldron slowly rotated. Xiao Yan could even sense faint flame energy gathering around the cauldron.

"So this is the Master's Black Demon Cauldron? Seeing is believing!"

Xiao Yan sighed, lost in thought.

It seems I need to improve my strength as soon as possible and take down Han Feng.

That Myriad Beast Cauldron would likely be quite compatible with his Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.

"Heh, I really paid a high price to get it back then."

Looking at the black medicine cauldron floating in mid-air, the Old Yao smiled with a touch of emotion.

However, he did not explain the origin of the black cauldron in front of him. His palm trembled slightly, and a pale white flame quickly swirled around his palm. He slowly placed his palm on a diamond-shaped fire hole in the black cauldron, flicked his finger, and the pale white flame began to swirl inside the cauldron.

"Observing the refining of Sixth-Grade Pill will greatly help improve your current Alchemy. Watch carefully and learn diligently, and I believe the day when you can refine Sixth-Grade Pill is not far off."

The Old Yao lit a fire and said with a smile.

"Of course, I also have a lot of confidence in myself."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then began to observe attentively.

Meanwhile, outside Salt City, a small Seven-Colored Snake floated in the air, blinking its large, purple-glowing eyes with a slightly confused look. Its little head was full of questions.

Human shape?

She flicked out her tongue, carefully discerning the faint, familiar scent in the air, tilted her head adorably, and drew her conclusion.

Hmm... it seems they left in another direction?

Looking in the direction of Mo City, she circled in the air a few times, then flicked her tail and flew over.
