Hearing Xun Er's teasing, Zi Yan could only sigh helplessly, propping up her cheek with one hand. "Actually, I can control myself now, but I can't help it. It smells too good. I don't believe any Ancient Void Dragon could resist this temptation."
Then Zi Yan seemed to notice something and asked Xun Er, "Xun Er, look! What are those things on the Yao Clan people? They look even more delicious."
Xun Er looked over at her words and saw that all four members of the Yao Clan, including Yao Dan, had faint specks of light on their bodies. Though it was unclear what those light specks did, there were quite a few of them, and they slowly gathered before obediently entering the cauldrons. The middle-aged beautiful woman, however, showed no such phenomenon.
"This is called Spirit Bestowal, an ability exclusive to the Yao Clan. It can passively absorb and control spiritual energy, channeling it into pills. It is of great help in pill formation."
Hearing that, Zi Yan said with some concern, "Then doesn't that mean it'll be very hard for Xiao Yan and the others to win?"
Xun Er showed no anxiety at all. Instead, her eyes curved into a smile. "Yes, it's very difficult to defeat members of the Yao Clan in alchemy, but I believe he can do it."
Lei Jingxiao was actually seated beside Zi Yan and Xun Er as well. Ever since the Thunder Clan's succession battle ended, he had remained quiet and withdrawn, seemingly with nothing to say.
Xiao Yan knew what he had gone through and understood why his brother was troubled, so he deliberately gave him time to work through it himself.
The Yao Clan's innate ability was indeed terrifying. The continuously gathering spiritual energy made their refinement increasingly effortless.
