Nine-Colored Pill Lightning

After discussing the matter of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Xiao Yan personally arranged accommodations for Elder Zhu Li and then returned to the Council Hall.

"Xuan Ma, my two senior uncles, the first thing I have to do upon my return is to revive my teacher. Apart from the pills that I haven't refined yet, all the necessary materials are ready. I plan to advance this matter in the Star Domain."

Upon hearing this, the Three Great Elders visibly showed joy on their faces, and even the Old Yao couldn't resist flying out of the Bone Flame Ring.

"You're already confident you can refine the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill?"

It should be noted that when Xiao Yan last refined pills, he had not yet demonstrated the ability to refine Eighth-Grade Pills accompanied by Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.

"Hmm, I'm about 70% sure."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then gave a conservative estimate.

"In that case, even we can't teach you anything more about Alchemy!"

Upon hearing this, the Three Great Elders exchanged glances, all of them somewhat moved.

Xiao Yan has only been at the Danta for a few years.

They've actually caught up with them!

Keep in mind that the three of them have been at this level for decades, and they are all older than Xiao Yan!

"Well done! The little genius of Wutan City back then has now become a big figure comparable to a giant in the Central Plains!"

The Old Yao sighed softly, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

When Xiao Yan became his disciple, he never imagined that in just seven years, his disciple would reach such heights. It was truly a blessing from heaven that, after being betrayed and nearly losing his life, he had gained such an outstanding disciple.

"By the way, tell us in detail about your experiences along the way."

Despite the opportunity for resurrection being right in front of him, Old Yao remained surprisingly calm. He believed that he would eventually be resurrected, because Xiao Yan had made a promise, and he would never let him down.

He was more concerned about whether Xiao Yan had encountered any danger on his trip, and whether the so-called Dragon Transformation Method would be harmful to him.

Since everyone present was his senior from his sect, Xiao Yan had nothing to hide and directly recounted in detail what had happened along the way to Old Yao and the Three Great Elders.

Half an hour later.

"Well, overall, I can't see any problems at the moment; at least I haven't detected anything wrong with Xiao Yan's body."

After listening to Xiao Yan's account, Old Yao and the Three Great Elders were no longer so worried about Xiao Yan's physical condition. However, they still checked him over one by one and only felt completely relieved after confirming that Xiao Yan, who had undergone the Dragon Transformation Method, was without any abnormalities.

"Alright, go back and rest. Make sure you're well-rested. If Yao Chen really does advance to Dou Sheng this time, it will also be a good thing for the Danta."

Xuan Kongzi released Xiao Yan's wrist, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Very well, then this disciple will take his leave."

After bowing to his teachers, Xiao Yan turned and left.

After watching Xiao Yan leave the Council Hall, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but sigh:

"I never expected this child to grow to this level so quickly. In my opinion, even I won't be a match for him in three to five years."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi laughed and teased him, saying:

"Not for that long! Maybe in another year or two, you won't be his match. Don't forget, Elder Zhu Li said that Xiao Yan's bloodline is now comparable to that of the royal family of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Coupled with his already formidable combat power, fighting beyond his level is not a difficult task for him."

The Old Yao nodded:

"Indeed, he now possesses six different kinds of Heavenly Flames within his body, coupled with secret techniques like the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations to enhance his strength. His combat power is probably no less than that of Venerable Skyfire."

Tian Leizi:

"Outrageous."

Seeing that Old Yao and Xuan Yi were undermining him together, Tian Leizi didn't intend to speak up for him, and Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Alright, alright, you're all right. Since Xiao Yan is so strong, please allow me to resign from my position as president and make way for the younger generation! I also want to go to the Little Danta to cultivate my Alchemy as soon as possible."

Upon hearing that Xuan Kongzi was planning to flee, Old Yao, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi all became anxious.

Xuan Kongzi is gone, and Xiao Yan doesn't have time to manage the Danta's affairs, so won't the three of them have to do the work?

How can this be allowed!

"No, no, senior brother, if you run away, who will do the work..." Xuan Yi, having slipped up and blurted out what was on his mind, quickly corrected himself, "Uh... I mean, who will take charge of the Danta Tower?"

"Junior Sister is right!"

Tian Leizi echoed this sentiment.

"That's right!"

The Old Yao nodded in agreement.

"Hmph, so you're even calling me 'senior brother' just to avoid doing any work?"

Xuan Kongzi snorted coldly and ultimately did not mention the matter of abdicating and handing over the throne to a more worthy successor.

He knew, of course, that Xiao Yan was currently under the most pressure on the Dou Qi Continent, so he should just let him focus on his cultivation. These mundane matters should be left to the old folks like them to handle.

"Master, you're finally back!"

As soon as Xiao Yan entered, his three beautiful female disciples surrounded him.

"Hmm? Master, how did you get so big?"

Dan Chen blinked, looking puzzled, and realized that she could no longer wrap her arms around Xiao Yan's waist. She looked up and found that she seemed to have shrunk, and could not even bury her face in Xiao Yan's chest.

But how could she possibly become shorter?

Master must have grown taller and more imposing!

Ye Xinlan and Cao Ying also noticed this. While they were surprised, they looked up at Xiao Yan's broad arms and tall, imposing figure.

Although they had already heard from their junior aunt Zi Yan about what had happened on this trip, Zi Yan had not deliberately mentioned the changes in Xiao Yan's physique. Now that they had witnessed such a change with their own eyes, they were naturally quite surprised.

Tang Huo'er did not return; she was still cultivating in Burning Flame Valley.

As for the two sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue, they stood to the side watching with smiles.

Han Yue looked at her senior's body, which had grown larger, and after a moment of scrutiny, her gaze couldn't help but slide downwards.

Since he's gotten so much bigger, one would assume that Senior Xiao Yan's sidearm must also have a larger caliber and a longer barrel, right?

I wonder if she can handle it!

"Chen'er, this trip has brought me some fortuitous opportunities, and I have undergone a complete transformation. Now I am both a human and a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan."

Because Dan Chen was physically weak, Xiao Yan took extra care of her and showed her more affection. When she asked him questions, he explained with a smile.

"As expected of Master, Master is the best!"

Dan Chen's soul perception was extremely sharp. Holding Xiao Yan's waist, she could feel through his clothes the vigorous blood and energy hidden in his strong body. The feeling was like a furnace of blood and energy, so hot that it made her body feel weak.

Ye Xinlan also looked at Xiao Yan with admiration.

Choosing to become Xiao Yan's disciple was truly the best decision she ever made.

Deep within Cao Ying's eyes lay a profound love; after spending so many years with Xiao Yan, no other man could capture her heart.

After dealing with his three young disciples, Xiao Yan found himself surrounded by the silver-haired sisters.

Han Yue, Xiao Yan's official girlfriend, enjoyed his embrace and greedily absorbed his faint fragrance. As for Han Xue, who was still his sister-in-law, she could only hold onto Xiao Yan's arm and feel the strong muscles hidden by his sleeves.

After a tender moment, Xiao Yan checked on the cultivation progress of his Han Sisters. He also gave a few brief instructions to Zi Yan, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian before returning to his room for secluded cultivation.

On the way back, Xiao Yan had already refined the remains of the Ancient Sky Phoenix. He still needed to process the remaining soul imprints, essence blood, and the Sky Phoenix Wings.

To be honest, Xiao Yan was quite surprised.

Because from the remains of this Ancient Sky Phoenix, apart from the bones of its wings, the rest of its body yielded two and a half bottles of Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence.

However, considering Feng Qing'er's sudden increase in combat power and the fact that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan could transplant Ancient Sky Phoenix bones into ten of its members, Xiao Yan felt that this matter was still reasonable.

After carefully collecting the Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence, Xiao Yan flipped his hand and took out a pair of grayish-white bone wings with golden blood streaks from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Compared to the enormous bone wings that blotted out the sky when he first collected them, the wingspan of the pair of bone wings in front of him was only about seven or eight zhang.

This wasn't done by Xiao Yan, but rather by the Master of Devouring.

Although he wasn't a professional at crafting magical artifacts, he was quite skilled at pre-processing these materials.

The Master of Devouring refined the corpse, devoid of essence and blood, into the Bone Wings, then refined out the impurities within, compressing the size of the Bone Wings.

If Xiao Yan were to do it himself, it would take him a lot of effort, but for the Master of Devouring, it was a piece of cake.

Therefore, Xiao Yan can now directly refine the bone wings into Flying Dou Technique.

However, these are, after all, the bone wings of Ninth Tier Ancient Sky Phoenix, and they are not so easy to refine. Two or three days is definitely not enough time.

We should wait until Old Yao has refined the body before considering refining the bone wings.

So right now, there's only one thing we can do.

A pitch-black hole suddenly appeared, and then a fluorescent white ball of light, no bigger than a fingernail, flew out from it.

It emanated a faint spiritual energy.

That was a trace of the Soul Origin formed after the remnant soul imprint within the Ancient Sky Phoenix was refined.

Although it wouldn't allow Xiao Yan to make much progress, refining it into a pill could replenish his soul power.

Xiao Yan planned to refine it first, since refining a body with the top-tier materials he had obtained would consume a considerable amount of soul power. Refining this pill would be a good precaution.

After adjusting his state, he took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron and began refining it.

Three days later, in the Star Domain.

The Star Domain, which had been quiet for months, became lively on this day.

The Three Great Elders of Danta, Elder Zhu Li, Venerable Skyfire, Venerable Feng, and the people from Xiao Yan's courtyard all came here.

Their gazes were all fixed on that tall and imposing figure ahead.

Today, Xiao Yan will refine the Eighth-Grade Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill, which can produce Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.

This is not only a crucial step in reviving Old Yao, but also proof that Xiao Yan's Alchemy have truly reached the Peak Eighth-Grade.

Xiao Yan ignored the crowd watching him from the front, instead sitting cross-legged in mid-air and taking out the Myriad Beast Cauldron.

The myriad animal totems carved on the body of the cauldron seemed to come alive under the surrounding starlight.

For the Myriad Beast Cauldron, today's Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill is probably the highest-grade pill that Xiao Yan can refine with it.

Later, when refining Ninth-Grade Pills, Xiao Yan would use fire as a furnace to condense a fire cauldron for refining the medicine.

It's not that the Myriad Beast Cauldron is bad and can't withstand the power of Ninth-Grade Pill, but when you really reach that level, the Fire Cauldron is the only cauldron that can unleash his Alchemy.

Let's begin.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He flicked his finger, and blue-purple flames flew from his fingertip, shooting into the Myriad Beast Cauldron. Under his control, they quickly ignited!

Immediately afterwards, he waved his sleeve, and more than a dozen jade boxes and hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs flew out of his Storage Ring and hovered beside him.

These are all medicinal materials needed to refine the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill. Some of these precious materials were even scavenged from Ancient Ruins during this trip.

With his current abilities, he naturally chose to refine all the medicinal herbs at once. With a thought, all the jade boxes opened, and the medicinal herbs fell into the cauldron one after another.

As the last medicinal herb entered the cauldron, the lid closed. Xiao Yan formed hand seals, and his soul power surged forth from between his brows, transforming into countless fine threads that seeped into the cauldron, precisely controlling every degree of temperature and fusion.

Refining Peak Eighth-Grade pills, especially the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Pill, a heaven-defying and fate-altering substance, consumes an astonishing amount of soul power.

If Xiao Yan hadn't already reached the Late Spirit Realm of the Spirit Realm, it would have been truly difficult for him to refine this pill.

Time flowed slowly through the silent Star Domain.

One day, two days, three days...

For the past two weeks, Xiao Yan has been sitting motionless, as if petrified, with only the fine beads of sweat on his forehead showing the hardship he is enduring.

Inside the medicine cauldron, various medicinal liquids gradually fused together under the heat of the flames, and a strange fluctuation of life and death began to spread.

After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron had condensed into a fist-sized ball of black and white light.

The black and white orbs of light rotated slowly inside the cauldron, each rotation causing fluctuations in the stellar energy surrounding the cauldron.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes tightly, his soul power already unleashed in full force.

Now is the crucial moment for condensing the elixir. He must balance the two forces within the elixir, completely fusing the power of life and the power of death, in order to produce an effect that can be described as reversing the cycle of reincarnation for the deceased.

"Freeze!"

Xiao Yan let out a low shout, and his hand seals suddenly changed.

The blue-purple flames inside the cauldron suddenly contracted, tightly enveloping the black-and-white ball of light.

The ball of light gradually shrank, revealing a smooth pill within, its surface a blend of black and white, resembling a pair of yin and yang fish. Around the pill was a ring of chaotic color, like stars and a star ring.

"Danlei is coming..."

Xuan Kongzi took a deep breath and gazed solemnly at the Star Domain above.

Even within this Star Domain, the thunderbolts arrived as scheduled. Layers of dark clouds gathered in the sky, displaying nine colors as they surged, and a muffled rumble of thunder began to resound.
