A line of text appeared on Yao Chen's System Panel at this moment.
It was a reward from the system.
Yao Chen looked at the reward displayed on the panel.
[You have obtained a random reward: Heavenly Sun Sword Art, a High-Tier Earth-Grade Dou Technique, which has been placed in the system inventory.]
Yao Chen looked at the system inventory and checked it immediately.
The Heavenly Sun Sword Art he had just obtained was a High-Tier Earth-Grade Dou Technique.
Furthermore, it was of the Lightning Attribute; only those with the Lightning Attribute could cultivate it.
Once successfully cultivated, one could unleash heavenly thunder while using the sword art.
It brought about a very powerful offensive effect.
It was a pity that only those with the Lightning Attribute could cultivate it, so Yao Chen had no way to practice it himself.
However, it was not absolute; as long as he exchanged for the Lightning Attribute from the system mall, he would be able to cultivate it.
He might not be able to now, but that did not mean he wouldn't be able to in the future.
Besides, this was a High-Tier Earth-Grade Dou Technique, and its grade was not low.
On the Dou Qi Continent, Heaven-Grade Dou Techniques and cultivation methods were extremely rare existences.
In a sense, High-Tier Earth-Grade Dou Techniques and cultivation methods were basically considered the ceiling of power.
At this moment, inside the camp of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were both extremely excited.
The two brothers had witnessed everything that had just happened.
They had not expected that the teacher Xiao Yan had taken on would be so formidable.
What kind of figure was Pill King Gu He?
What was his status in the Jia Ma Empire? It was not as if they did not know.
Yet, in front of Mr. Yao, he was so humble.
Moreover, Mr. Yao was indifferent, and Pill King Gu He did not even dare to let out a peep.
Therefore, they were also filled with great emotion.
"For Xiao Yan to be able to take such a grandmaster alchemist as his teacher is truly a blessing for our Xiao Clan..."
The two brothers exclaimed in admiration.
Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen before him at this time.
"Teacher, if that is the case, then the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect and Pill King Gu He..."
"Came to Shi Mo City specifically for you."
Yao Chen nodded, but he did not speak.
He did not take such small characters of this level seriously at all.
He was already a Dou Sheng; he did not care at all about people who were not even Dou Zong.
At the same time, Pill King Gu He, Yun Yun, and Nalan Yanran left the territory of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group in disappointment.
They sighed, feeling very disappointed and frustrated.
"I didn't expect that I would make a special trip to Shi Mo City."
"I wanted to get to know Mr. Yao Chen properly."
"There was no opportunity back in Wutan City..."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Yao Chen would not even..."
Pill King Gu He sighed, feeling filled with a sense of defeat.
But thinking about it carefully, a grandmaster alchemist like Mr. Yao Chen, how could he possibly take someone like Gu He seriously?
Never before had Gu He felt as defeated as he did now.
At the same time, he did not dare to say anything.
Yun Yun also sighed.
Failing to befriend Mr. Yao Chen was extremely disadvantageous for the future of their Cloud Mist Sect.
She only hoped that the Imperial Family of the Jia Ma Empire would not make any moves...
Nalan Yanran was a bit distracted.
Initially, when she was at the Cloud Mist Sect, she had heard her teacher, Yun Yun, tell her...
She did not believe the rumors regarding Xiao Yan becoming the disciple of Yao Chen.
Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, Nalan Yanran felt both bewildered.
Her emotions became incredibly complex.
"Sigh... I truly don't know what Mr. Yao is thinking."
"To actually take that trash Xiao Yan as his disciple."
At noon the following day, Jia Xing Tian of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family.
Arrived at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group in Shi Mo City, accompanied by his great-granddaughter, Yao Yue.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were also astonished.
They never imagined that Little Yanzi's teacher, Elder Yao, Mr. Yao.
Would actually draw the attention of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family during this visit to Shi Mo City.
Even Jia Xing Tian, Old Jia himself, had come in person, which left him deeply surprised.
In private, he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder more than once and said.
"Little Yanzi, this teacher of yours is truly extraordinary."
"Old Jia is the guardian of the royal family, and there is also Princess Yao Yue."
"She is the little princess of our Jia Ma Empire's royal family; to have attracted such figures."
"It seems your teacher's reputation in our Jia Ma Empire is truly immense!"
Xiao Li was very excited as he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said.
"Haha, that girl from the Nalan Family truly has eyes but fails to recognize Mount Tai."
"To actually look down on our third brother; I think she is the one who is truly short-sighted."
"It is Mr. Yao who has the discerning eye to recognize a hero. In the future, Little Yanzi's achievements will surely be limitless!"
Jia Xing Tian looked at Yao Chen and said.
"Mr. Yao, upon learning that you had come to Shi Mo City, I traveled specifically from the imperial capital."
"Within the borders of the Jia Ma Empire, should you require any assistance anywhere."
"Mr. Yao, please do not hesitate to speak."
"My Jia Ma Empire royal family will certainly do our utmost to provide support!!"
Jia Xing Tian declared.
Yao Yue looked at Yao Chen, truly wishing she could take such a man as her teacher.
If that were the case, her own rank as an Alchemist would surely improve much faster than it currently was.
At this moment, the situation within the Jia Ma Empire was unknown to Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor, who was far away in the Black-Corner Region.
To be precise, he was no longer the Medicine Emperor, but the Medicine Sect Master.
Because not long ago, he had seized the pill auctioned at the Miteer Auction House in Wutan City—the Sect-Breaking Pill—from the hands of Yin Gu Old Man of the Heavenly Yin Sect.
Furthermore, he had broken through the barrier of the Dou Huang and entered the realm of the Dou Zong.
This was something Han Feng had dreamed of and desired for a long time, yet had failed to achieve until now!
With the influence Han Feng held in the Black-Corner Region, combined with his own peak Nine-star Dou Huang strength.
Seizing the pill from Yin Gu Old Man was not a difficult task.
Now that he had fulfilled his wish and broken through to the strength of a Dou Zong, he was extremely satisfied.
However, before killing Yin Gu Old Man, Han Feng had learned some important information from him.
"Mr. Yao? Wutan City? Capable of refining Rank 6 pills or higher?"
Upon hearing this vital information, Han Feng's expression immediately turned grave.
Combining these key terms together.
Why did it sound more and more like that old fellow, Yao Chen?
Han Feng's expression suddenly grew heavy.
Could it be that the Alchemist in Wutan City capable of refining Rank 6 pills or higher.
Was his own teacher, Yao Chen?
That was impossible; that old fellow, Yao Chen, had clearly been killed by him.
It was impossible for him to have come back from the dead.
Yet, the important information provided by Yin Gu Old Man before his death.
All sounded exactly like that old fellow, Yao Chen!
Han Feng's expression was grave.
Could it be that the old geezer Yao Chen didn't die?
Given his talent for alchemy, his soul strength was exceptionally powerful.
Could he have survived in the form of a soul? Is he living on in a wretched state even now?
Could he be within the borders of the Jia Ma Empire right now? Inside Wutan City?
If that is the case, I must make a trip there.
Since that old thing Yao Chen is not dead, I, Han Feng, must obtain the complete version of the Burning Mantra!
