Xing Qian's words were tantamount to the Alchemist Alliance rejecting Xiao Yan's offer, which meant that no matter what, the Alchemist Alliance would never get involved in this matter, no matter how much Xiao Yan invited them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan frowned helplessly. Since they had already put it this way, there was no need for him to say anything more.
"Of course, although we can't send anyone to help you, you are still a member of our Alchemist Alliance. We should take care of our own people's reputation. Keep this pill; you might need it someday."
Noticing the helpless look on Xiao Yan's face, Xing Qian's eyes darted around, and then he took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring. Inside was also a pill. However, just from the fact that Xing Qian took it out, this pill was definitely not an ordinary pill. At least, Xiao Yan did not think that any pill he had on him could compare to this.
"A sixth-grade pill, the Dragon Bone Pill, can greatly enhance one's cultivation in a short time, with negligible side effects. However, excessive use of its effects will cause one to fall asleep for half an hour. Unfortunately, this thing is quite complicated to refine, and even I only have one left. I hope it will be of some help to you."
As Xiao Yan reached out to take the pill, Xing Qian's voice also entered his ears. The moment Xiao Yan heard the words "sixth-grade pill" on the first day, his eyes immediately lit up with surprise. He never expected that Xing Qian would directly take out a sixth-grade pill. Then, when he heard about the effects of the Dragon Bone Pill, he was even more shocked.
The fact that it can significantly increase the cultivation level of the Origin Transformation Realm expert in a short period of time is already terrifying enough. This Dragon Bone Pill truly lives up to its reputation as a sixth-grade pill. If he had a few more, Xiao Yan was even confident that he could take down Ye Luotian and his gang all by himself.
With Xiao Yan's current cultivation level, this Dragon Bone Pill could raise his cultivation to the Origin Return Realm in a short time. If he had several more, the effect would be unimaginable.
"Don't overthink it, brat. Even if you take a lot of these cultivation-enhancing pills at once, they'll only have the effect of one. And while the Dragon Bone Pill doesn't have many side effects, due to its medicinal properties, taking another Dragon Bone Pill Dragon Bone Pill three months of the first one won't have any effect. Instead, it will prolong the effect of the medicine in your body, making you unable to take it again for a longer period. Of course, if anyone stubbornly insists on refining it to make it work, they'll only face certain death."
As soon as Xing Qian uttered these words, Xiao Yan immediately pursed his lips and looked away, quickly and carefully putting away the jade bottle in his hand. Then he smiled awkwardly. He naturally understood these principles, but what he had just thought was merely a momentary fantasy.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. How much of a chance do you have of winning this battle against Qinhuang Lost Valley? As far as I know, Qinhuang Lost Valley has a full four experts at the Origin Transformation Realm. But you, along with that little girl from the Xilin Mountain Range, only have two Origin Transformation Realm experts. Are you sure you're not pinning all your hopes on the Alchemist Alliance?"
Returning to the main topic, Xing Qian and Han Dong's faces immediately showed worry again. After all, this was a battle between experts at the Origin Transformation Realm. The difference of just one person could determine the outcome of the entire battle in an instant. As far as they knew, the strength of Xiao Yan's side was truly worrying.
"Hehe, please rest assured, senior. We will have more than Qinhuang Lost Valley. Moreover, in my opinion, the real trouble in this battle against Qinhuang Lost Valley is not them, but Ye Luotian."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xing Qian and his companion were initially relieved, but then frowned. They exchanged a glance, a look of confusion in their eyes. Clearly, they were not familiar with this Ye Luotian either.
" Ye Luotian was the sect leader of the Withered Leaf Sect, one of the Four Great Sects in the original Western Lin Region. He was extremely secretive. Back in the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, he single-handedly killed the sect leaders of the other two Four Great Sects major sects. Afterwards, he even forcibly annexed the Four Great Sects and then joined forces with Qinhuang Lost Valley, which led to the current situation where Qinhuang Lost Valley is dominating the Western Region."
"Hiss..."
Xiao Yan's simple explanation made the two of them understand the cause and effect of the changes in the Western Region in recent years. It seemed that all the changes were caused by Ye Luotian. After all, before he joined forces with Qinhuang Lost Valley, the latter had always kept a low profile and lived in seclusion in the Western Wilderness Region. In fact, many people in the entire Western Region had gradually forgotten this super power that once dominated the entire Western Region.
"This Ye Luotian actually possesses such abilities? With his own strength, he was able to make the Qinhuang Lost Valley, which had been in seclusion, reappear."
The two exchanged a furrowed brow, their eyes revealing undisguised surprise. However, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said to Xing Qian with a meaningful tone:
"Senior, do you really think that he alone can stir up such a storm in the Western Region? That's far too much of an overestimation of him..."
Before the two could ask any questions, Xiao Yan continued to speak.
"As far as I know, besides the known forces, there are other forces secretly operating in the Western Region. These forces are not originally from the Western Region, but rather branches that have spread from other states or regions here."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the expressions in Xing Qian and Han Dong's eyes flickered involuntarily, while Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids, appearing completely unaware.
In fact, Xiao Yan had always been very clear about these so-called foreign forces. Whether it was the Alchemist Alliance, the Ghost Hall, or even Luo Jin's Cloud-Hidden Pavilion and the Heavenly Cloud Auction House, he knew very well that these forces he knew all came from the same place on the continent.
Central Region!
However, the situation is still unclear, and Xiao Yan cannot be sure why they want to spread their influence to the edge of the continent. But he is certain that there must be some kind of potential connection between these forces.
Then, as the two came to their senses, Xiao Yan spoke again, but the words he uttered instantly changed their expressions.
"The force supporting Ye Luotian is a power from the Central Region called the Ghost Hall."
