Xiao Yan's Choice

Although he was preparing to go out and do business, Xiao Han wasn't really foolish enough to leave immediately after settling in.

In contrast, Xiao Han first spent a month alone with Yi Huang, and then took some time to give his little apprentice some pointers. Finally, under her resentful gaze, he left without a trace.

"I'll leave the affairs of the Langya Pavilion and Central Plains to you," Xiao Han said to Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice before leaving.

"Don't worry, since it's about dealing with those traitors, I won't hesitate to risk my life," Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice calmly, exuding an aloof and god-like aura.

"If such a thing appears in Central Plains, it will absolutely not escape my senses."

"Okay, until we meet again!"

"Don't die out there," Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice said casually.

"What?" Xiao Han asked indignantly, "Are you so eager to curse me to death because you want to inherit my family fortune?"

"Get lost!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice couldn't stand it anymore. Even now, this kid was still so unserious. Didn't he know how troublesome this matter was?

Since Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice returned to the Central Plains Continent, it has taken a long time to understand the forces on the continent.

This time, she gained a new understanding of the mysterious and unpredictable Soul Clan. Through her conversation with Xiao Han, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had learned that the Soul Clan was currently the strongest force in reality.

Moreover, their opponents have now obtained the forbidden substance of Evil Qi, greatly increasing their damage and destructive power. If the showdown finally comes, at least three of the Ancient Races they claim to be from the past will need to join forces to contend with them.

But how could this be easy?

If it's not a critical moment of life and death, the idea of being inseparable is a complete joke.

In this world, even in cooperation, one must always be wary of being stabbed in the back. The relationship between forces like Sound Valley and Langya Pavilion is an anomaly among anomalies.

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice felt that Xiao Han seemed to have a strange confidence that the Soul Clan would eventually perish, a confidence that was simply incomprehensible.

However, with Xiao Han's departure, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's many doubts could only be kept deep in her heart.

Yi Huang, on the other hand, felt somewhat helpless. She had a premonition that when news of Xiao Han spread outside of Central Plains, it would likely be big news.

After Xiao Han left, the renowned Langya Pavilion fell into silence. Most disciples Elder, except for a few necessary outposts, returned to the pavilion 'Langya Realm to cultivate.

When the entire Central Plains learned that the Soul Hall and Langya Pavilion had reached a peace agreement, it stirred up a small storm once again. However, the parties involved did not pay much attention to it, and the little bit of heat naturally subsided quickly.

In contrast to the rise and fall of the Central Region, Langya Pavilion, a certain young man from the Xiao Clan is quite adept at creating big news.

"Dou Zhe, one star." When the tester tremblingly announced the tester's level, the entire room erupted in uproar.

"Dou Zhe? How is that possible?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

Although the strength of the Dou Zhe is far inferior to that of the younger generation of the Xiao Clan family, it all depends on time!

From the time Xiao Yan last tested his Three Stages of Dou Zhi Qi to now becoming One-Star Dou Zhe, only ten months have passed, less than a year. Such speed is truly astonishing!

The tester's face was filled with surprise, and he excitedly said to a young man in black, "Congratulations, Third Young Master, on returning to the Dou Zhe."

"Okay, thank you." Xiao Yan nodded expressionlessly, thanked them, and calmly left. If it were the Xiao Yan of the past, he might have soared to the heavens in the face of everyone's praise and adulation.

But after three years of honing his skills, he is now able to handle such occasions with ease. Fame is all superficial; only ability can bring him true dignity.

After testing his strength, Xiao Yan couldn't wait to return with Xun Er. After parting ways with her, he quickly arrived at the Xiao Clan Back Mountain.

"Teacher, how did it go? Am I qualified to cultivate that cultivation technique that allows me to grow now?" Xiao Yan asked nervously and expectantly.

"Hey, you brat!" As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a transparent, aged figure floated out from the ring in his hand.

Elder Yao looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression, unsure whether his decision was right or wrong.

"Let me tell you about this cultivation technique first, so you won't accuse me of lying to you later."

Elder Yao shook his head and said that if it weren't for the need for Xiao Yan to refine a body for him, he might not have wanted the latter to cultivate this kind of technique.

Now, let the kid decide!

"Oh? Is there anything special about this cultivation technique?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

"I told you about this cultivation technique before; it was originally only at the Yellow Tier Low Grade," Elder Yao said.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded. He had already considered this point, but he was more concerned about the issues that followed.

"This cultivation technique is called the Burning Flame Art."

"The Burning Flame Art?" Xiao Yan muttered.

The Elder Yao continued, "I have never practiced the Burning Flame Art Technique..."

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully, "Teacher, since you have never practiced before, how do you know Fen Jue can evolve?"

"It's written in the cultivation manual!" Elder Yao said matter-of-factly.

"You... you're really something!" Xiao Yan had a feeling of being on a pirate ship, wondering if it was too late to get off.

"Don't worry, I've seen this technique, and there really isn't anything wrong with it. It's just..." The Elder Yao was quite confident at first, but then he hesitated.

"Just what?" Xiao Yan really hated Elder Yao for being a guy who only said half of what he meant; it was unpleasant.

"The conditions for the evolution of this cultivation technique are extremely demanding, even bizarre!" said the Elder Yao.

"Oh?" Xiao Yan's interest was piqued. "What kind of strange method is it?"

"The Burning Flame Art possesses the ability to Fusion Exotic Fire, but it also needs to devour Exotic Fire to evolve." Elder Yao gave a groundbreaking answer.

"Fusion Exotic Fire? Devour Exotic Fire?" Xiao Yan asked repeatedly, and after receiving confirmation from Elder Yao, he immediately became unwilling.

"Teacher, are you kidding me?" Xiao Yan waved his hands repeatedly, not mentioning the danger of devouring and refining the Exotic Fire. It was like walking on a knife's edge all the time. If you weren't careful, you would be turned to ashes.

Furthermore, given the rarity of Exotic Fire, is it possible for an ordinary person to obtain them? Whether this cultivation technique can be advanced to the Heavenly Rank is unknown in this lifetime.

"Yes, it's crazy, isn't it!" the Elder Yao said dejectedly. "In my opinion, the success rate of cultivating it to the highest level is less than 20%!"

"Of course..." Elder Yao's voice rose slightly, "I have a feeling that if it can truly be successfully cultivated, its power will be terrifying!"

That's true. The effect of Fusion Exotic Fire is unique in the world. If you really find five or six Exotic Fire, you'll be able to achieve that.

"Hiss~"

That power...

The Elder Yao couldn't even imagine it!

"That depends on your wishes. With your talent, if you continue to cultivate the original technique, I think defeating Nalan Yanran wouldn't be a problem. So, the Burning Flame Art isn't very meaningful to you."

Xiao Yan did not respond, but instead fell into deep thought, while Elder Yao waited for the former's answer.

Just when Elder Yao thought Xiao Yan was about to refuse...

"I agree!" Xiao Yan's voice rang out.
