Xiao Yi Xian Enjoys the Perks

In the vast desert, amidst the raging sandstorm, a young man dressed in an alchemist's robe trudged forward against the wind and sand. The rows of footprints behind him, deeply embedded in the yellow sand, were soon covered by the sand, concealing all traces beneath the sand.

The environment in the Tagor Desert was so harsh that Xiao Yan, who had never seen a desert before, suffered greatly. The yellow sand under his feet, under the scorching sun, was almost like scalding iron filings.

Because Old Yao forbade Xiao Yan from activating his Heavenly Flames to protect his body, Xiao Yan had no choice but to endure it.

However, as an alchemist, Xiao Yan didn't need to worry about sunburn or burns. Therefore, after entering the uninhabited area of the desert, Xiao Yan took off his alchemist's robe at Old Yao's request, leaving him wearing only knee-length shorts and underwear.

Xiao Yi Xian is a sweet and gentle girl, so naturally she wouldn't be as bare-chested as Xiao Yan. To shield herself from the sun, she even wore a white veil.

However, Xiao Yi Xian was also somewhat embarrassed.

After all, over the past year, Xiao Yan's physique, though not the bulky, muscular type, had been refined through combat, Dou Qi, and the tempering of Heavenly Flames. He was lean and muscular with a very low body fat percentage.

His muscular physique was extremely well-defined, with well-developed chest and back muscles and a firm waist. His inverted triangle body and height of over 1.7 meters made it impossible to tell that he was still just an eleven-year-old child.

Although Xiao Yi Xian was only three years older than Xiao Yan, she was already a woman in her twenties at heart. Looking at the man she quite liked, she exposed her upper body, feeling both shy and a little envious, wanting to touch him...

But firstly, Xiao Yan is still a child, and secondly, Old Yao is still around; she can't bring herself to do it.

Although the environment of the desert is extremely harsh, the fire-attribute energy it contains is quite gratifying to Xiao Yan. In terms of fire-attribute energy alone, this desert is even more powerful than the small valley in the Monster Mountain Range.

Moreover, the fire-attribute energy here is exceptionally pure and domineering, making it perfectly suited for Xiao Yan to nurture the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.

After walking slowly for several hundred meters, Xiao Yan casually wiped the sweat from his brow, took out the sheepskin map, and said directly:

"Teacher, how about we go directly to the flame marker in the east? According to my memory, that's most likely the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame."

"Hmm, no need to rush, take it slow. With your current strength, it will probably be quite difficult for you to devour the mature Green Lotus Core Flame. In my opinion, it's safest to devour the Heavenly Flames after you've reached the Dou Ling. At the very least, you'll need to be at the Da Dou Shi level."

"Dou Master Even if you possess the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow, it would be extremely difficult for you to devour and refine it."

After pondering for a moment, the Old Yao spoke in a slightly somber tone.

"Yes, but it will take at least ten days to get to the marker from here..."

Xiao Yan nodded and continued walking forward.

"Hehe, let's go then... In this desert, even walking is a form of spiritual practice!"

Now that Old Yao understands Xiao Yan quite well, he naturally knows that as long as it helps with cultivation, this kid is truly capable of anything and can endure anything.

As for the magical beasts lurking in the desert, such as the Yellow Sand Demon Scorpion, they naturally had nowhere to hide under Xiao Yan's soul perception scan. Along the way, the magical beasts that tried to ambush Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were either smashed by Xiao Yan's Heavy Profound Ruler or directly poisoned to death by a light wave of Xiao Yi Xian's hand.

However, the potent venom in the stinger of the Yellow Sand Demon Scorpion did have some effect on Xiao Yi Xian, so Xiao Yan specially collected quite a lot of them.

The training in the desert was tedious and harsh, but fortunately, with a beautiful woman by my side, it wasn't too lonely; in fact, it had a unique charm.

After a day of adjustment, Xiao Yan began to increase the intensity on the second day.

The Blood Burning cultivation elixir, which had been used in the Monster Mountain Range, finally came in handy again.

Wearing shorts and shirtless, Xiao Yan lay on the scorching yellow sand. Beside him, Xiao Yi Xian knelt with a faint smile on her face, holding a small jade bottle filled with red liquid. As she slowly tilted the bottle, a few drops of the red liquid poured out and splashed onto the boy's back, which was tanned dark by the blazing sun.

"Hiss..."

As the red liquid dripped onto his back, a chill escaped Xiao Yan's clenched teeth. He gripped a handful of yellow sand tightly with both hands, disregarding its scorching heat.

The effects of the Blood Burning Elixir were amplified in the desert. Once the elixir had seeped in, Xiao Yan's skin would become more sensitive to the fire-attribute energy in the air, making his cultivation twice as effective.

This job should have been done by Old Yao.

But since Xiao Yan wasn't alone and had a beautiful woman by his side, this old man naturally didn't mind creating some opportunities for his disciple.

He was quite curious about the reaction of that girl from the Ancient Clans when they arrived at the Jia Nan Academy and learned that his Brother Xiao Yan was spending time with another woman, even having intimate relations with her.

Hehehe, this kid only knows how comfortable he is now, he doesn't think about what will happen in the future. Some kinds of good fortune are not something that everyone can enjoy.

Old Yao was clearly the kind of old man who was a bit of a rascal. He still remembered how Xiao Yan had teased him about his old flame. If he didn't give Little Yanzi a hard time, wouldn't he, as his teacher, lose face?

With gentle movements, Xiao Yi Xian used a jade piece to slowly scrape away the red liquid. Looking at Xiao Yan's clenched teeth and determined expression, her eyes softened, and her movements became even gentler.

Even though his body was burning with pain, Xiao Yan felt quite comfortable.

It's not that the Old Yao is bad, it's just that having a beauty like Xiao Yi Xian by your side, with her delicate hand waving lightly, makes you feel even more happy!

After the spiritual liquid on her back had seeped into her body, Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips, gently patted Xiao Yan's back, her voice trembling slightly.

"Flip it over, it's time to paint the front."

Xiao Yan felt a little awkward upon hearing this, after all, if he turned over, he would be facing Xiao Yi Xian...

"Good."

Xiao Yan replied in a muffled voice, then turned around and, seemingly because the sun was too bright, closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been watching her all this time, she probably wouldn't have been able to concentrate on her work.

She continued to tilt the jade bottle, repeating the process, pouring the Blood Burning Elixir onto Xiao Yan's body and scraping it off with a jade piece.

Watching the muscles tighten and relax due to the stimulation of Blood Burning, Xiao Yi Xian was truly treated to a feast for the eyes.

But her desire did not end there.

After what felt like an eternity, as the spiritual liquid in Xiao Yan's body was absorbed, Xiao Yi Xian reached out and touched Xiao Yan's chest, as if checking the absorption progress.

Wow!

This was the first time Xiao Yi Xian had ever felt such resilient muscles, and she felt a surge of excitement, but she quickly regained her composure and said:

"Okay, it's dry, get up now."

Xiao Yan didn't actually pay attention to Xiao Yi Xian's expression at all. When the girl's relatively cool and soft little hand landed on his still slightly burning chest, the feeling was so intense that he couldn't help but want to let out a soft moan.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, he came to his senses, shielded his eyes from the sun, opened his eyes and sat up. Then, he and Xiao Yi Xian looked at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.

"Um, I..."

"How are you feeling?"

The two people, eager to change the subject, spoke at the same time, then fell silent together.

A moment later, the two of them burst out laughing.
