Xiao Yan Might Be a Magical Beast, but Xiao Yan Being a Magical Beast Was Unlikely!

Inside the pavilion of the Royal Garden, the aroma of tea wafted through the air, but at this moment, only Xiao Yan and Jia Xingtian remained seated there.

Regarding the alliance, the parties present have already exchanged preliminary opinions, and there are basically no problems. They have now returned to their respective posts to begin some preparatory work.

After all, each of them has considerable power under its command, so they naturally need to be carefully arranged.

As for Xiao Yan, he stayed to give the Jia Ma Imperial Family some benefits, which could also be considered as gratitude to Jia Xingtian for agreeing to let him relocate the Snake-Person Tribe to Wutan City and giving the Xiao Family the management rights of Wutan City and a large area around it.

For Jia Xingtian, this was not a big deal; it was just something he did on a whim.

To put it bluntly, if anything were to happen around Wutan City, the Xiao Family would have Xiao Yan, a Dou Huang expert, standing behind them. Who could be more effective than turning to him?

It's impossible for Jia Xingtian to come running over every time something happens in Wutan City.

Since that's the case, let's just put the area of Wutan City, including the part of the Monster Mountain Range that was originally designated for the Snake-Person Tribe, under the management of the Xiao Family. Anyway, Xiao Yan can make the decisions.

Xiao Yan was quite satisfied with this result.

As the leader of the alliance, Jia Xingtian was so sensible that Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't be stingy. After seeing everyone off, he said to Jia Xingtian:

"Elder Jia, I've heard that your Jia Ma Imperial Family has a Sixth-Rank Magical Beast, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon?"

Jia Xingtian hadn't dared to imagine that Xiao Yan would help the Jia Ma Imperial Family treat the injuries of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon, so he said with some difficulty:

"Alliance Leader, that Deep Sea Flood Dragon has fought for our Jia Ma Imperial Family for many years and has accumulated many injuries. Now it has to go into seclusion to recuperate and is probably unable to fight for the alliance again."

Hearing Jia Xingtian's excuses, Xiao Yan simply smiled faintly:

"So as long as I heal its injuries, won't it be able to continue fighting for the alliance? Besides, with the help of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon, the Jia Ma Imperial Family should have more confidence, right?"

Upon hearing Jia Xingtian, Jia Xingtian's face immediately lit up with joy:

"Is the Alliance Leader's statement true? If the Deep Sea Flood Dragon can truly be cured, our Jia Ma Imperial Family will certainly be able to contribute more to the Alliance's cause. However, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon's injuries require a Sixth-Grade Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill. I originally intended to have Gu He refine this medicine, but he is, after all, a member of the Misty Cloud Sect, and I do not trust him. Moreover, his Alchemy are only at the Sixth-Grade, and the success rate of refining it is not high."

Xiao Yan nodded, his tone clearly carrying the arrogance typical of an alchemist:

"Elder Jia, this is a piece of cake for me. Just send someone to fetch the medicinal herbs, and then take me to where the Deep Sea Flood Dragon is. I'll check on its injuries. If there are no problems, I'll refine the pills there to help the Deep Sea Flood Dragon recover from its injuries."

Recalling Xiao Yan's earlier revelation about the strength of Peak Sixth-Grade Alchemist, Jia Xingtian's heart warmed. He already had some plans in mind, but his face was full of joy, showing no sign of anything unusual.

"Alright, Alliance Leader, please wait a moment. I'll arrange for someone to fetch the medicine, and then I'll take you to the secluded training ground of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon." With that, Jia Xingtian went out, summoned a maid, gave her detailed instructions, and then returned to the pavilion with a smile on his face. "Alliance Leader, please follow me."

Jia Xingtian Dou Qi Transformation Wings and flew out of the pavilion. He reached out towards the Back Mountain of the Royal Manor, making a "please" gesture.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, took a step, and was already hovering beside Jia Xingtian.

Let's go.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, a pair of blue fire wings slowly emerged from his back.

Jia Xingtian responded politely, even somewhat respectfully, before leading the way, though he was inwardly shocked.

He could see clearly that Xiao Yan had stood on the void for a moment without Dou Qi Transformation Wings.

Regardless of how Xiao Yan achieved it, reaching the level of Dou Zong expert was something he had always longed for, almost to the point of obsession.

He naturally wouldn't understand that the Three Thousand Lightning Movement already had the ability to briefly levitate people in the sky, and with the power of Void Wind and Lightning added, the Three Thousand Lightning Movement would only be more powerful.

In fact, if Xiao Yan were to unleash the Three Thousand Lightning Movement to its fullest potential, given his current level of mastery over it, he could stand on the void indefinitely without using his Three Thousand Lightning Movement Dou Qi Transformation Wings until his Dou Qi was completely depleted.

Of course, this also serves as a further deterrent to Jia Xingtian.

It wasn't that Xiao Yan was bored; it was just that the old man was too quick-witted.

He went out just now to arrange for someone to fetch medicinal herbs, but it wasn't just about that.

But this naturally couldn't be hidden from Xiao Yan soul power had already reached the level of Seventh-Tier Alchemist.

The old man has a lot of ideas.

Both were Dou Huang expert, and their speed was not slow. Although they did not fly at full speed, they still flew into a large mountain behind the Royal Manor three minutes later.

This mountain is the Jia Ma Imperial Family's Back Mountain, and at its summit lies a huge lake.

Xiao Yan could sense a powerful yet somewhat weak life force emanating from the lake.

It must be that Deep Sea Flood Dragon.

"Elder Jia, summon that Deep Sea Flood Dragon."

After landing, Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded hurriedly, and with a flash, he appeared on the lake. His feet touched the water, and powerful Dou Qi surged from his feet and entered the lake.

As the Dou Qi surged in, the originally calm lake surface suddenly seemed to boil, with countless large and small bubbles rising up, and a powerful aura gradually surged up from the bottom of the lake.

"Bang!"

When the lake reached its boiling point, a massive column of water suddenly shot out from the lake, transforming into a shower of water droplets that cascaded down.

"Roar!"

A deep, strange roar echoed from within the water column, and then a massive figure, so large it occupied half the lake, emerged from it.

The magical beast that appeared before Xiao Yan was enormous, with a serpentine body covered in deep blue scales, a single blue spiral horn on its head, and a pair of bright, enormous eyes that gleamed with a chilling ferocity.

As soon as this beast appeared, the air around it became much more humid. This was not only because of the water column it created when it appeared, but also because it was a powerful Sixth-Rank Magical Beast.

"Old Man Jia, what has awakened me this time? I'm in much worse shape and can't be of much help to you."

As soon as the Deep Sea Flood Dragon appeared, its voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, rang out over the lake.

Standing on the lake, Jia Xingtian looked up at the Deep Sea Flood Dragon and smiled, saying:

"Old man, I'm not bothering you, I've invited a Sixth-Grade Alchemist for you."

After saying that, Jia Xingtian gestured for the Deep Sea Flood Dragon to turn its gaze toward Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon turned its head, its enormous beastly eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, who stood on the ground, dressed in a magnificent purple robe but was excessively young. An indescribable emotion welled up in its heart.

Is this young lad the alchemist Jia Xingtian spoke of who could refine Sixth-Grade Pill and cure its chronic illness?

"Old Man Jia, this boy is so young, can he really possess Sixth-Grade Alchemy? You're not just making fun of me out of boredom, are you?"

The low roar of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon was filled with deep doubt and a hint of barely perceptible contempt. Then, a heavy pressure, like a tangible wave, crashed down on Xiao Yan.

It wasn't that it completely disbelieved in Jia Xingtian, but although this young man seemed extraordinary, it was really hard to connect him with the unfathomable Sixth-Grade Alchemist.

Jia Xingtian's expression changed slightly, and he was about to explain.

However, Xiao Yan, who was at the center of the oppressive aura, remained expressionless, and didn't even flinch.

In terms of oppressive aura, he usually encounters the oppressive aura of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and the Ancient Void Dragon.

A mere Deep Sea Flood Dragon? Nothing special!

However, to everyone's surprise, the moment the pressure containing the powerful soul force of Sixth-Rank Magical Beast touched Xiao Yan's body, an even more ancient and noble pressure, seemingly originating from the pinnacle of all beasts, suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan's body!

This oppressive force was formless and intangible, yet it resembled the roar of a dragon from the heavens, carrying an overbearing will that commanded all beasts to submit. In an instant, it crushed the oppressive force released by the Deep Sea Flood Dragon, and its remaining momentum did not diminish, like an invisible giant hammer smashing into the depths of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon's soul!

"Waaah--!"

The massive body of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon suddenly stiffened, its bright giant eyes filled with unprecedented horror and fear!

The tremor originating from the deepest part of its bloodline made it almost unable to control its body. The huge head that had been perched in the lake lowered uncontrollably, and a whimper full of fear and submission escaped from its throat.

It felt like a tiny insect gazing up at a giant dragon in the sky!

Um?

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then pulled his left hand out from his chest and subconsciously looked over. He saw a purple-gold Dragon Seal emerge from his palm, and the pressure emanating from Xiao Yan's body was coming from this spot.

This is the Dragon Seal that Zi Yan planted in his body with her own blood essence to help him cultivate the Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

It is also the highest-level Dragon Seal among the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

After all, this essence blood originated from Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor. Looking at the entire Ancient Void Dragon Clan, only the Prison Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, who guarded the gate for the Tou She Ancient God beneath the Underground Magma World of the Jia Nan Academy, could surpass Zi Yan in bloodline.

After all, Zi Yan has not yet reached maturity. Although her bloodline is noble, it is not mature enough.

Even so, the Dragon Emperor's majesty was far beyond what a demonic beast of the level, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon, could challenge.

After witnessing firsthand the dramatic change in the Deep Sea Flood Dragon's demeanor—from arrogance to obedience, and the obvious fear in its eyes— Jia Xingtian was deeply shocked, and his awe of Xiao Yan deepened even further.

After figuring out what was going on, a look of understanding flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he instantly suppressed the aura of the Dragon Seal within his body.

He merely glanced at the crouching Deep Sea Flood Dragon and calmly said, "Now, can you cooperate properly?"

"Yes, sir!"

The voice of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon was filled with unprecedented respect and obedience, without a trace of dissatisfaction or probing.

Its enormous head bowed, like the most humble subject, completely abandoning any thought of resistance, allowing Xiao Yan's palm to land on its head, probing its body with his soul power to carefully examine the old wounds that had accumulated over the years.

Xiao Yan's soul power acted like the most sophisticated detection instrument, rapidly and meticulously scanning the enormous body and damaged meridians of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon.

A moment later, he slowly withdrew his soul perception, and he understood.

Although the injury was complex and severe, accumulated over many years, it was not a big problem for him, Peak Sixth-Grade Alchemist who possessed Heavenly Flames and extremely exquisite Alchemy. He only needed a Sixth-Grade Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill, and with special techniques to catalyze and guide the medicinal power, it would be enough to completely cure the injury.

Moreover, he had some other ideas.

Although the Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill is incredibly potent, only those with the bodies of magical beasts can withstand it, Xiao Yan's physical attributes are also ridiculously strong. In other words, if he suffers any serious injuries in the future, this Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill could be a good Healing Medicine. It seems I should prepare a few pills.

Besides, even if he doesn't need them, there's still Queen Medusa and Zi Yan. Although he doesn't want the two women to suffer any serious injuries, it's not impossible for such a thing to happen, so it's better to be prepared!

"I've figured out the situation." Xiao Yan turned to Jia Xingtian, extending his hand. "Give me the prescription."

He needed to confirm the details of the prescription to ensure everything went smoothly.

The Old Yao also had the formula for the Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill, but for a formula of this level, it would take a lot of time and effort to copy it. Xiao Yan would naturally not waste a precious prescription reading opportunity to help the Jia Ma Imperial Family. It was already a great favor that he took the initiative to help refine the medicine. If he had to provide the formula himself, then the Jia Ma Imperial Family would really be ungrateful.

Moreover, in the Dou Qi Continent, the rule for asking an alchemist to perform a treatment is to bring the prescription and at least three portions of medicinal materials with you.

Seeing Xiao Yan extend his hand, Jia Xingtian, who was prepared, immediately and respectfully presented an ancient scroll.

After receiving it, Xiao Yan quickly scanned the contents with his soul power. Although the refining of Sixth-Grade Pill was complicated, it was not too difficult for him to understand it thoroughly with his current level of Alchemy.

He nodded slightly, memorized the prescription, sat cross-legged on a blue stone by the lake, closed his eyes to rest, and simulated the refining process in his mind while waiting for the medicinal materials to arrive.

As for Jia Xingtian, he started communicating with the Deep Sea Flood Dragon via telepathy, exchanging information about Xiao Yan that they knew. Of course, Jia Xingtian was the one doing most of the talking.

After their exchange, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon seemed to have confirmed something, and said somewhat solemnly:

"Old Man Jia, given the difference in your Dou Qi levels compared to this master, the fact that he could defeat you so easily shows that his physical strength is also extremely formidable."

The terrifying pressure he just displayed means that he is very likely some kind of magical beast with ancient bloodline, and one of the most powerful beings in the Beast World!

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian fell silent.

He knew about Xiao Yan's background.

He was also aware of the Xiao Family's situation.

Moreover, the Magical Beast Clan race has never cultivated soul power, so they have virtually no chance of becoming alchemists.

But Xiao Yan is Sixth-Grade Alchemist. In short, Xiao Yan couldn't possibly be a magical beast!

But what the Deep Sea Flood Dragon said wasn't without reason, so what exactly is going on?

Jia Xingtian couldn't understand it; he just felt that this alliance leader was becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable.
