Winning the Championship and Departing

At this moment, Xiao Yan was unaware that because of the matter of the Dou Sheng Corpse, Nalan Yanran had already developed the idea of temporarily leaving him and going out to train on her own.

Nalan Yanran was quite strong-willed, and because the gap between her and Xiao Yan wasn't significant, she didn't harbor any other thoughts.

Furthermore, having gradually fallen in love with Xiao Yan, she was even less likely to have the thought of leaving him.

However, the appearance of Xiao Yi Xian made Nalan Yanran realize her shortcomings.

Her talent was indeed quite good in the Northwest Continent, but in the Central Plains, it was not enough!

However, Nalan Yanran is not without the opportunity to accumulate strength and then make a breakthrough.

After all, the path of Sword Dao is not just about talent!

The ability to persevere is sometimes even more important!

Nalan Yanran knew that she seemed to have become somewhat lax since she came to Central Plains with Xiao Yan.

Therefore, she must rekindle her passion for swordsmanship!

But Nalan Yanran did not reveal any of this.

Her plan was to accompany Xiao Yan through this Pill Gathering before venturing out on more adventures...

"Alright, Xiao Yan, although you've unexpectedly obtained the Dou Sheng Corpse, you should still participate in this Pill Gathering, because it's a good challenge for you!"

Besides, the champion of the Pill Gathering can make a request to the Danta, and the benefits are obvious!

At the same time, the Yao Lao got back to the main topic.

"Yes, I know that."

Xiao Yan did not refuse.

Just as Yao Lao said, although his initial goal was to use this to ask the Danta for the remains of a Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable, even though he already has the Dou Sheng Corpse, he can always change his request.

Xiao Yan wasn't so rigid as to insist on a corpse above the Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable.

The Danta family is large and powerful; this request will definitely save him a lot of trouble in the future!

He could even use this to persuade a Dou Sheng Expert from the Danta to take action!

Knowing that their enemy is the Soul Hall, it is clearly necessary to be able to get a Dou Sheng from the Danta to take action.

After all, if we don't count the Hun Clan, the only entity in the Central Plains that can openly rival the Soul Hall is the Danta.

"It's a pity that the Three Thousand Burning Flames of the Danta were obtained by Palace Master Lin Xiao of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace in earlier years. Otherwise, the top ten people in the Pill Gathering would have had a chance to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

"Xiao Yan, you are now not only Dou Venerable, but you have also cultivated the Flame Mantra and mastered four Heavenly Flames. The chances of you subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flames are quite high."

At this moment, Feng Xian said with a mix of emotion and regret.

After hearing Feng Xian's words, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao remained silent.

They had already Feng Xian mention this matter once before.

But what's done is done, and there's nothing they can do.

Logically speaking, participating in the Pill Gathering and obtaining the Three Thousand Burning Flames would indeed be the most beneficial thing for Xiao Yan!

This is even more beneficial to Xiao Yan than simply making a request to the Danta!

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate. Perhaps the Three Thousand Burning Flames are not meant for me! However, I should now try to find other Heavenly Flames."

After a while, Xiao Yan finally spoke.

However, it's clear that Xiao Yan is quite open-minded about it.

After that, the group didn't continue the conversation on that topic.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yan also made various preparations for the Pill Gathering.

Days passed by.

As the day of the Pill Gathering approached, Xiao Yan also headed to the Pill Region where the Danta was located.

Now that Xiao Yan has the support of the Starfall Pavilion, he naturally didn't set off alone.

Besides her two Confidantes, Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran, Starfall Pavilion also had quite a few people accompanying her.

Among them were Yao Lao, Feng Xian, and many disciples of the Starfall Pavilion.

They went there to cheer on Xiao Yan!

Of course, the Yao Lao who was involved actually had another purpose.

It was all to go to Danta and see some of my old friends.

As for Yao Lao, he was once revered as the number one Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, so he naturally had a wide network of connections.

Moreover, he is actually a very good friend of all the Leadership members of Danta.

This includes the three current leaders of the Danta Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi.

Xuan Yi was even one of Yao Lao's Confidantes, and she still thinks of Yao Lao fondly even now.

As for what happened next, there's not much to say; it's basically the same as the Original Work.

The Yao Lao gathered with a group of friends and his Confidante Xuan Yi, and was filled with many emotions.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan's performance at the Pill Gathering also overwhelmed all the other contenders!

After all, Xiao Yan, who can now refine even Tier 8 Medicinal Pills with Seven-Colored Pill Lightning, is hardly a contestant in winning the Pill Gathering held by the Danta.

Therefore, whether it was the young generation of Alchemist like Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Song Qing, or the older generation of Alchemists like Old Man Mu Gu and Old Monster Qing Hua, they all fell to Xiao Yan!

Furthermore, unlike the narrow victory in the Original Work, Xiao Yan won the championship with overwhelming force and without any suspense!

If the earlier Four Pavilions Assembly only spread Xiao Yan's reputation among a part of the Central Plains...

But after winning the Pill Gathering this time, he truly became famous throughout the entire Central Plains!

In fact, many people no longer regard Xiao Yan as a member of the younger generation, but instead compare him to the older generation.

Therefore, putting aside Xiao Yan, even Yao Lao, as the teacher, was so happy and proud that he couldn't stop smiling!

With such an outstanding disciple, he truly has no regrets!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, as a member of the younger generation, not only reached the Dou Zun Realm in strength, but also entered the second-best ranks of Alchemist Qi Dou Qi Continent. In addition, he is also handsome and sunny, and has become the dream lover of countless girls in Central Plains.

Even Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who competed against him at the Pill Gathering, were impressed by Xiao Yan!

This shows just how famous Xiao Yan is in Central Plains now.

Of course, after winning the Pill Gathering competition, Xiao Yan also gained the right to make demands on the Danta.

However, for the time being, Xiao Yan didn't think of making any demands on the Danta.

In response, the Danta promised that Xiao Yan could come to the Danta to fulfill his request at any time!

Thus, the Pill Gathering came to a close.

After returning to the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan began preparing for two things.

Firstly, it helped Yao Lao revive.

Secondly, it helps Xiao Yi Xian resolve the aftereffects of the Woeful Poison Body.

However, before that, not long after returning to the Starfall Pavilion, Nalan Yanran proposed to Xiao Yan that she should go to the Myriad Sword Pavilion to check the path that her ancestor Yun Potian had taken in the Central Plains, and then she wanted to retrace it to hone herself!

When Nalan Yanran brought it up, Xiao Yan was naturally reluctant to part with her, and even said that he would accompany her.

Unfortunately, Nalan Yanran refused this time!

In her words, if Xiao Yan were by her side, then her training would be meaningless.

When Nalan Yanran brought up the matter, her eyes revealed only determination, so Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't stop his fiancée.

After all, this is Nalan Yanran's true personality!

Clearly, Xiao Yan did not want Nalan Yanran to change herself for him.

Now that Nalan Yanran has made up her mind, he can only silently offer his blessings.

That night, after many years, the two embraced each other and slept together once again.

Yes, that's normal sleep!

The next day, Nalan Yanran also left Starfall Pavilion.
