Lost in the East, Gained in the West

"Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow?"

Protected by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan could still feel a slight chill. He then looked at the deep pit he had melted, which emitted an astonishing cold aura, but was only slightly larger than a palm, and contained a dark blue or even blackish-blue piece of cold jade.

At the very center of the cold jade, a rhombus-shaped black crystal can be vaguely seen. That is probably the true form of the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, while the cold jade outside is likely an ice layer formed from the materialized cold energy.

Although he had been studying under Old Yao for some time, he had never actually heard of this so-called "Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow," so he looked at Old Yao with some confusion and asked, "What is that?"

"A rare and wondrous object of heaven and earth, as rare as the Heavenly Flames. Before I prepared to fight for this Bone Spirit Cold Flame, I searched for this object for a period of time. Unfortunately, for nearly ten years, I have not found a trace of it."

Upon hearing this, the Old Yao shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, he was really unlucky. Back then, he needed Companion Amethyst Origin to refine medicine, and he broke into the caves of eight Amethyst Winged Lion Kings in a row, but in the end, he got nothing.

Xiao Yan had been searching for the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow for ten years without success, but he found it incidentally while searching for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!

Fortunately, this is his own disciple, so he's lucky. As the teacher, he'll probably benefit from this in the future.

"It's so rare, what's its purpose?"

Xiao Yan had some guesses about the effects of the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, but he couldn't be sure of its specific effects.

"I don't know about other Heavenly Flames, but if I had this when I devoured the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, my chances would have been at least 30% higher!"

The Old Yao said with considerable confidence.

"How come it's only 30%?"

Xiao Yan frowned.

Snap!

The Old Yao's illusory hand, wrapped in soul power, slapped Xiao Yan on the back of the head, laughing and scolding:

"You brat, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame is ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Is thirty percent Heavenly Flames it really that little? When I devoured Heavenly Flames back then, I almost died!"

Before the Old Yao could finish speaking, he continued:

Moreover, this Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow can be used more than once. As long as it is not completely consumed, it is possible to replenish the consumed portion of the spirit marrow using certain methods. If you really want to cultivate the Flame Mantra in the future, having this item is like having an extra life!

As for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, with the Profound Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, you can have as much Ice Spirit Cold Spring as you want. Now do you understand how precious this Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow is?"

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

If that's the case, the difficulty of refining the Heavenly Flames in the future will be reduced, and the speed will naturally be faster. As a result, my cultivation speed will also increase significantly, which is crucial!

"Moreover, this item also has some effect on Xiao Yi Xian. If her Woe Poison Body erupts in the future, this item can play a certain role in suppressing it. However, we should not let her know about this for the time being, lest she become complacent and neglect her control over the Woe Poison Body without any worries."

Old Yao told Xiao Yan this through telepathy.

"Teacher, how do we take this Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow? Can we just take it directly?"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly without changing his expression, looked down at Han Yu below, and asked.

"Yes, with my Bone Spirit Cold Flame protecting it, you can just pick it up and put it in your Storage Ring. After isolating it from the energy of heaven and earth, this item will no longer emit cold air."

The Old Yao nodded upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately reached out and picked up the Cold Jade. A cool sensation seeped into his palm through the pale white flames.

Xiao Yan quickly put it into the golden Storage Ring that Xun'er had given him.

As the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow was stored in the Storage Ring, the chill immediately lessened considerably, and Old Yao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame was also withdrawn.

Although we didn't find the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, we did find the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise.

"It seems this trip wasn't a waste of time; in fact, we made a pretty good profit!"

Xiao Yi Xian also chimed in with a smile.

"Hmm, it seems my luck is still somewhat on my side."

Xiao Yan also felt that this was incredibly lucky. With the Profound Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, who would still care about the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?

So comfortable, so incredibly comfortable!

After settling things over and taking a short rest, Xiao Yan activated the Purple Cloud Wings and, with Xiao Yi Xian in tow, returned to Salt City.

It was already late at night when the two returned to Salt City.

But instead of resting, they went straight to the flight transport department.

Salt City is a two-and-a-half-day flight from Mo City, the nearest city to the Tagor Desert.

Xiao Yan felt tired even flying on his own, let alone carrying Xiao Yi Xian. It would be better to ride a flying magical beast. The speed difference wouldn't be too great, but the comfort level would be much higher.

After all, he is a distinguished alchemist!

In the dead of night, Xiao Yan was too lazy to wait for anyone. He simply paid enough gold coins, casually tossed the person in charge a bottle of Second-Grade Pill, and then enjoyed the "chartered plane" service.

This flight was quite comfortable. There were no useless fellow travelers like those who used their alchemist status to seduce women. It was much quieter for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian, as if they had returned to their life in the small valley of the Monster Mountain Range.

However, Xiao Yan remained as diligent as ever, never sleeping. Aside from using the medicine cauldron given to him by President Frank to refine medicine, he was cultivating his Dou Qi. He believed that after a while, he would be able to advance again!

Two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.

Opening the window, one could feel waves of heat rushing towards them. Squinting at the seemingly endless golden expanse, Xiao Yan felt a sense of anticipation.

At this point in time, the Green Lotus Core Flame shouldn't have been removed yet, right?

Xiao Yan originally didn't expect to be able to devour the Heavenly Flames right now.

However, after obtaining the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, Xiao Yan was somewhat inclined to give it a try.

But what if Queen Medusa were also reborn...?

That's hard to say!

Anyway, let's find an angel investor first, like Haibo Donghai Lao!

Soon, the flying monsters began to descend, and the outline of the city began to appear outside the window.

A city built of loess, standing tall in the golden desert, comes into view.

Stepping out of the air transport terminal, Xiao Yan strolled along the street with Xiao Yi Xian, taking in their surroundings.

The people here dress in a style that has an exotic flair.

Most of the men were shirtless, their skin a dark, wiry hue, and their faces and the way they spoke gave off a sense of forthrightness.

The woman's skin was also dark, but it had a sexy tan tone.

They were not as reserved and shy as the women within the empire; their tight-fitting leather outfits barely covered their chests and a little below, while their slender waists were boldly exposed.

Her long, slender thighs were only covered by short skirts or shorts, and as she walked, her serpentine waist swayed, creating a unique and captivating charm.

But Xiao Yan only glanced at her appreciatively before looking away—he still preferred those with fair skin.

Simply grab a random passerby, demonstrate your Dou Master aura, and they'll respectfully point out the best map shop in Mo City.

After giving the passerby some gold coins as a reward, Xiao Yan walked towards the map shop called "Ancient Map" under his respectful gaze.
