In contrast to Xun Er's joy, Xiao Yan was sweating profusely. He stared at the man and woman in front of him without moving, his eyes filled with vigilance.

What terrified Xiao Yan the most was the opponent's immense strength. To be honest, even Elder Yao immediately fell silent after sensing the opponent's aura.

"May I ask what brings you two here?" Xiao Yan asked solemnly, as he had no recollection of either of them.

However, the other party was specifically waiting for him here, so it's very likely they have ill intentions!

The ones who blocked Xiao Yan's way were naturally Xiao Wu and his companion, who had come from afar, and were after the Poison Pill Method in Elder Yao's possession.

"Young man, could you please invite the Medicine Venerable out?" Xiao Wu asked with a gentle smile.

"Medicine Venerable?" Xiao Yan asked, feigning confusion. "What do you mean?"

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just an ordinary Da Dou Shi."

"An ordinary Da Dou Shi with Exotic Fire?" Xiao Wu asked with a half-smile.

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted, and his mind was greatly shaken. Only then did he realize that the Azure Lotus Core Flame within his body was stirring. This was a special connection between Exotic Fire.

Xiao Yan shifted his gaze to the silent girl with gray hair beside the man. The Azure Lotus Core Flame he had just witnessed told him that this girl also possessed Exotic Fire.

"Medicine Venerable, aren't you going to come out yet?" Xiao Wu's tone carried a faint threat; he was no longer willing to argue with Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Wu Xiao Yan's stubborn and unyielding nature, he himself was still busy. Xian'er's constitution had been erupting more and more frequently lately, and condensing the Poison Pill was of utmost urgency.

As Xiao Wu threatened him, Xiao Yan's expression darkened, his fists clenched tightly. "I'm still too weak!"

Xiao Yan thought to himself that if he were strong enough, not to mention whether these two would dare to provoke him, even if they did, he could make them regret it, instead of being forced to stand there helplessly, unable to move.

Elder Yao also knew that the two people in front of him had already confirmed that he was with Xiao Yan, and there was no way to avoid it.

A semi-transparent figure floated out from the ring in Xiao Yan's hand. Thanks to the help of various medicinal herbs that replenish Soul Strength, Elder Yao Lao's Soul Strength has been greatly enhanced, and his soul is gradually becoming more solid.

"I wonder what brings you two to see me? I don't recall ever meeting you before." Elder Yao stared directly at Xiao Wu.

"Junior Xiao Wu of the Langya Pavilion greets Medicine Venerable!" Xiao Wu showed no arrogance at this moment, but instead bowed respectfully to Elder Yao.

This has really stumped Elder Yao. Aren't you being a little too polite? Just a moment ago you were acting like you were about to kill someone.

"This is my junior sister, Yi Xian." He then introduced Xian'er, who was standing next to him.

The Elder Yao turned his gaze over, Xian'er bowed in return.

The former finally noticed Xian'er's difference: her gray hair, the strange toxins, and the faint chill emanating from her body.

"Langya Pavilion?"

Based on Xiao Wu's self-introduction, Elder Yao had roughly deduced that this girl named Yi Xian was probably the disciple of the Deputy Pavilion Master Yi Huang that Xiao Zhan had mentioned.

"How did you find me?"

The Elder Yao was completely baffled. Why were the people from the Langya Pavilion not staying in Central Plains, but instead coming all the way to the countryside of the Jia Ma Empire to find him? It was simply outrageous!

Does the Yao Chen have automatic positioning?

"Well..." Xiao Wu smiled, "Xian'er was originally from the Jia Ma Empire. I'm just bringing her back to visit."

Elder Yao, Xiao Yan: "..."

What should they say? Especially Elder Yao, who never dreamed that his exposure was because someone from the Langya Pavilion was on a family visit leave!

Although he still had questions, Elder Yao didn't foolishly ask them. He guessed that the other party probably had some special information channels, but just didn't want to say it.

Elder Yao had some knowledge of the Langya Pavilion's intelligence capabilities, which were among the strongest of the first-rate forces.

Now that the other side has upgraded to Super faction, it's not impossible that their intelligence capabilities have been enhanced and expanded to the Northwest Continent. Didn't the Soul Hall have a Heavenly Venerable who ran away to the neighboring Chu Yun Empire?

Etc...

Elder Yao suddenly realized that Langya Pavilion might have come after the Soul Hall! He remembered that Xiao Zhan had mentioned that Langya Pavilion had fought with the Soul Hall a couple of years ago.

Having grasped the key point, Elder Yao's gaze towards Xiao Wu softened considerably. "As long as you deal with the Soul Hall, we'll all be good friends!"

Xiao Wu felt a chill run down his spine from Elder Yao's eerie gaze.

However, Elder Yao's heart sank soon after; he knew he would have to hand over the Poison Pill Condensation Method today.

I originally thought I could use it to exchange for the remains of a Dou Sheng, but they don't play by the rules!

"You've come for the Poison Pill Method in my possession, haven't you?" the Elder Yao, his mind filled with complex emotions.

"How did the Medicine Venerable know?" Xiao Wu displayed his doubts perfectly, and even Xian'er showed surprise at the right moment.

Since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it, and the Elder Yao lay down. Only then did he have a chance to take a closer look at Xian'er, marveling at her.

"Good heavens, there must be a seal inside this girl's body. Judging by the Cold Qi, Su Lin really put in a lot of effort!"

"You actually thought of using Netherworld Poison Flame to suppress the Woeful Poison Body; you're quite something, little guy!"

The Elder Yao glanced at Xian'er with some envy. Back in the day, if he had received such treatment, he would have been laughing in his dreams.

Elder Yao was using his Alchemist skills, while Xiao Yan was pondering the so-called Netherworld Poison Flame.

Even with his audacity and the power of the Burning Flame Art, he dared not touch the infamous Netherworld Poison Flame!

If you're not careful, it won't just be a matter of turning to ash; you'll be poisoned first, then turned to ash! You'll die twice.

After learning that Xian'er possessed the Woeful Poison Body, Xiao Yan was no longer surprised. He figured only someone with that kind of constitution could suppress that thing.

"Since Medicine Venerable has already recognized Junior Sister's special qualities, could you please part with your beloved junior sister and pass on the Poison Pill Method to us?" Xiao Wu said.

"It's alright. This Poison Pill Method is useless to me anyway, so it's appropriate to give it to you." The Elder Yao was heartbroken, but he remained calm on the surface, displaying the demeanor of a superior person.

Xiao Yan was filled with resentment, but the situation was beyond his control. He made up his mind to find a way to Elder Yao a Dou Sheng corpse from Yao Lao in the future.

"This is the Poison Pill Method." The Elder Yao threw a Scroll to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu excitedly opened it, checked every detail, made a rough estimate in his mind, and then handed it to Xian'er, who also basically confirmed that it was correct.

Although she had never seen it, Xian'er had been researching the problem of the Woeful Poison Body for many years, so she could tell whether this method was genuine or not.

"Thank you, Medicine Venerable!" Xiao Wu suppressed his excitement. The problem that had been weighing on their hearts for many years was finally solved. If he didn't have other important matters to attend to, he would have returned to the pavilion immediately.

"It's alright! As long as you two don't reveal my whereabouts." That's all Elder Yao wants now; preserving his life is the most important thing.

Xiao Wu also sensed the helplessness in Elder Yao's tone, which wasn't surprising.

Even he would think the same way: if you're not as strong as someone else, and they really have bad intentions, you have no choice but to wait for death.

However, this was in relation to strangers. Xiao Wu was well aware of the importance of the two people in front of him, and naturally would not do something like destroying evidence.

Thinking this, Xiao Wu flicked out a silver token, which Xiao Yan, who was filled with suspicion, accepted. "This is a gift of thanks from my Langya Pavilion. I hope Medicine Venerable will accept it."

"This is..." Elder Yao looked at the token in Xiao Yan's hand, which was engraved with the logo of the Langya Pavilion.

However, the Langya Token was created after Xiao Han returned to the Langya Pavilion, Elder Yao did not recognize it.

"When Medicine Venerable returns to Central Plains, he will naturally learn the purpose of this token, and Medicine Venerable will not be disappointed," Xiao Wu said with a gentle smile.

Joke!

Although the Silver Serpent Token is not as precious as the Golden Dragon Token, it still represents the sincerity of their Langya Pavilion. It's just a token, nothing compared to Xian'er's life and future.

Xiao Zhan had already told him about Elder Yao's need for the remains of Dou Sheng, and one Silver Serpent Token would be more than enough.

The Elder Yao accepted it with some skepticism. Looking at Xiao Wu's confident expression, he didn't doubt the value of the token, but he didn't think it could compare to the corpse of a Dou Sheng.

However, Elder Yao did not try to bargain. The fact that the other party did not use their strength to forcibly seize the item showed that Langya Pavilion was of upright character.

Keep offering a higher price? Are you out of your mind?

"Then I'll accept it for now." My heart was pounding, but I couldn't lose face!
