Emperor Grade Nascent Pill—Danger!!!

"Boohoo... I'm going to the Xiao Clan right now to break off the engagement..."

"B-Break off the engagement?"

Hearing this, Nalan Su was shaken to the core. This shouldn't be happening!

Xiao Yan had begun drawing Qi into his body at the age of six and had already reached Three stages of Dou Qi.

Moreover, he was sensible and rather handsome!

Why did Nalan Yanran want to break off the engagement without even meeting him?

Besides, the engagement had been personally agreed to by the old master.

The old master cared deeply about his reputation, and he would never let go of a genius son-in-law like Xiao Yan.

How could this engagement possibly be called off?

Nalan Su's heart was full of doubt. He tenderly wiped Nalan Yanran's tears, having no idea which way the wind had blown today for the little girl to give him such a difficult problem!

"Sweetheart, he's one of the most outstanding geniuses around!"

"And he's quite..."

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran covered her ears and cried.

"I'm not listening..."

"I'm not listening..."

"I refuse to marry some toe-picking brute in his thirties!"

A toe-picking brute?

What kind of strange thing was that...

Watching Nalan Yanran stubbornly refuse to listen, Nalan Su had no idea what she was talking about!

Could the little girl have had a nightmare?

"Yan'er... listen to your father. That Xiao Yan is extraordinarily gifted, sensible, and polite..."

"I'm not listening..."

"I'm deaf!"

Nalan Yanran stubbornly covered her ears with both hands!

"Nonsense!"

"How can you treat the engagement your grandfather arranged as a child's game?"

Seeing that Nalan Yanran refused to listen to reason, Nalan Su shouted sternly. The little loli shuddered in fright, then immediately cried even harder.

"You yelled at me! You don't love me anymore..."

"You're not my good daddy anymore..."

"If you like Xiao Yan so much, then have Mother give birth to another one!"

"I won't..."

"I have to break off this engagement..."

Nalan Yanran was utterly aggrieved and simply could not take in a word. All she could think about was the terrifying story in that diary!

"Ah! Nonsense..."

Looking at Nalan Yanran's stubborn nature, Nalan Su picked her up, sighed helplessly, and gently coaxed her.

The engagement had been arranged by the old master and the Xiao Clan before the two children were even born!

Even if he wanted to have another child now...

The timing still wouldn't work!

After being coaxed for who knew how long, the little loli finally fell deeply asleep against his shoulder!

Inside the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, after recovering his soul power, Cang Lan calmed his mind and swept through the system space. Then, he suddenly realized a problem. With a thought, he wrote in his notebook.

So annoying! There are new rewards every day. If I don't use up today's rewards, there'll be more tomorrow!

The first thing I see every day when I wake up is the system's constantly increasing rewards.

Who could understand this kind of trouble?

I can't finish claiming the rewards. I simply can't finish claiming them!

I finally managed to claim a few of today's rewards, but tomorrow's rewards are about to arrive again.

Before I can claim tomorrow's rewards, there'll be new ones the day after tomorrow!

I often wonder whether this carefree life is really what I want.

All of a sudden, I'm so envious of those who can cultivate on their own. Though their progress is slow, they possess a fighting spirit—they swallow their tears, grit their teeth, steel their bones, and refuse to admit defeat. That is all the more precious!

That's enough for now. I have to go do some tedious improving!

After writing all that, Cang Lan nodded in satisfaction.

As a transmigrator, he had to stay vigilant at all times and never forget his original aspiration of Versailles!

Wutan City, Xiao Residence.

After being comforted by Ling Ying, Loli Xun'er agreed to stay with the Xiao Clan. However, she only dared remain in the side room. Her sole thought was to wait for the diary to update, hoping there would be some way to resolve the trouble Xiao Yan had brought her.

When she saw the newly updated content, her little hand suddenly clenched tight.

Noticing the rewards mentioned in the diary, a glimmer of hope flashed through her eyes!

"As long as I keep reading for seven consecutive days, I'll get one chance to draw a reward. I wonder if that reward can help me escape Xiao Yan..."

As they looked at the new content appearing in the notebook, aside from Xun'er's anticipation and the sleeping Nalan Yanran, the women all gnashed their teeth in fury!

If only they could enter the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

They truly wanted to drag Cang Lan out.

And let him taste the hardship of cultivation too!

Let him experience it as well.

The pain of being stuck at the peak of Dou Huang! (P.S. Guess who she is...)

Meanwhile, Cang Lan, who had once again immersed himself in concentration, naturally had no idea what was happening outside. As his consciousness swept over a ball of light in the system space, a flood of information poured into his mind.

Blazing Sun Divine Art: God-tier cultivation technique. It began at the Heaven-tier and could painlessly devour every flame in the world to raise the technique's rank.

Painlessly devouring every flame?

Wasn't this an enhanced version of the Flame Mantra?

Thinking of the agony Xiao Yan had endured, narrowly escaping death time and again in order to devour Exotic Flames—

He wouldn't have to suffer through that!

Moreover, Xiao Yan had gone through countless hardships just to find Exotic Flames to devour.

Yet he had begun right on the eve of the ending—in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

There were twenty kinds of Exotic Flame origin flames here. He had practically skipped decades of detours.

Though they contained no energy, they were still Exotic Flame origins!

Comparing the two, Cang Lan suddenly wondered—

Could breaking through to Dou Di really take ten years?

That would be... way too lame!

"Extract the Blazing Flame Divine Art!"

With a trace of excitement in his heart, Cang Lan silently uttered the command. An immense torrent of information flooded into his mind, then transformed into fine strands of meridians that slowly spread throughout his body. At that moment, Cang Lan entered a state of enlightenment!

A moment later, Cang Lan slowly opened his eyes. Clearly, he had comprehended the Blazing Flame Divine Art's entire circulation path!

At this moment, the most immediate feeling he had was an endless craving within his body for fire-attributed energy from heaven and earth!

"Starting out in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, I may not be able to leave for now, but the benefits are truly plentiful!"

Cang Lan smiled faintly and nodded inwardly. He was extremely satisfied with this cultivation technique.

Only...

Cang Lan's brows suddenly furrowed.

If he wanted to absorb those Exotic Flame origins in Exotic Flame Plaza—

There was still a major boss, the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill.

The chances of snatching the Exotic Flames away in front of him were slim!

Before refining the Exotic Flames—

Wouldn't he first have to deal with that huge problem?

An eighteen-year-old One-star Dou Huang might be considered a genius outside.

But before a Dou Sheng expert, he wasn't even qualified to be a toy!

Memories from the original novel flashed continuously through his mind before a spark of inspiration suddenly appeared!

Cang Lan abruptly recalled that Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and Hun Tiandi, those three big shots, had all failed to defeat the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill. In the end, it had been subdued by that crafty Nihility Devouring Flame using a Pill Transformation Ring.

"Pill Transformation Ring?"

"Why does that sound so familiar...?"

After thinking for a moment, Cang Lan remembered that Golden Legend had a reward similar to the Pill Transformation Ring. With a thought, his consciousness swept over a golden ring in the system. Immediately afterward, a stream of information surfaced in his mind.

God Level Pill Transformation Ring: Durable and long-lasting, impossible to wear down or damage! It restrains all lifeforms condensed from pills. It can only control one target at a time, and can be used after recognizing its master through a drop of blood.

It restrained all lifeforms condensed from pills?

What if he put a ring on it?

Wouldn't that mean there would never be a dangerous period again?

Once Cang Lan understood the God Level Pill Transformation Ring's effect, excitement surged within him. He swiftly condensed a drop of blood essence and let it fall onto the Pill Transformation Ring.

In an instant, brilliant golden light flared dazzlingly. The golden ring, the size of a soccer ball, suddenly transformed into a streak of light and shot into Cang Lan's glabella!

Feeling an additional golden halo floating around his soul within his body, Cang Lan curled his lips into a crooked grin.

"Heh heh heh..."
