Above a clear blue sky, a gentle breeze blows, refreshing the soul, while the blazing sun shines brightly, illuminating the entire world.
As Xiao Yan absorbed the Heavenly Flames from his body, the tense atmosphere in the world dissipated.
Above the void, Xiao Yan, holding the Heavy Xuan Ruler, raised his gaze to the golden-robed elder opposite him. Seeing the confident expression on the elder's face, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. After a few breaths, he took a deep breath, fixed his gaze on the latter, and slowly said:
"Since you say there's more to this than meets the eye, please tell us."
Seeing that Xiao Yan still looked solemn, the golden-robed elder smiled faintly, then his gaze fell on the Xiao Jin on Xiao Yan's shoulder before he looked at Xiao Yan again and said:
"Before that, I hope you can hand him over to me for the time being..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Xiao Yan frowned and a look of anger appeared between his brows. But before Xiao Yan could speak, the old man's next words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger in Xiao Yan's heart.
"This little guy is badly injured; dragging this out won't do him any good."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan suddenly realized what was happening. He glanced at Xiao Jin on his shoulder. Despite the help of the pills, Xiao Jin's injuries were too severe. Even Emperor Grade Pill wouldn't be able to help much in a short time.
Looking at Xiao Jin on his shoulder, and then at the golden-robed old man reaching out his hand, Xiao Yan still dared not entrust Xiao Jin to anyone with peace of mind.
Seeing this, the golden-robed elder immediately understood. He frowned slightly, his gaze towards Xiao Jin filled with worry. After a moment's hesitation, he sighed softly, turning his gaze back to Xiao Yan, and said:
"Very well, since you don't trust me, I don't mind. However, this little fellow's injuries do need immediate treatment, otherwise it could severely affect his essence. Judging from your aura, you should be an alchemist. Here's what I'll do: I have a Nirvana Pill here, I'll give it to you first. If you trust me, it's best to feed it to him. If you don't trust me, then we'll have to leave his injuries for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man waved his hand lightly, and a stream of light shot towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before catching it in his hand.
He opened his palm, revealing a jade bottle inlaid with gold-edged patterns lying in his center. A faint warmth emanated from the bottle and reached Xiao Yan's palm, causing him to raise an eyebrow slightly.
The material of this jade bottle is quite extraordinary. It can maintain the temperature of the pills inside without any external energy, keeping them in a state of optimal efficacy. From this alone, it can be seen that the old man's status is definitely much higher than Xiao Yan had imagined.
He casually wiped away the energy membrane sealing the bottle opening, and instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance rose out like clouds and mist, leisurely transforming in front of Xiao Yan. Finally, it faintly transformed into a Demon Phoenix, and then, to Xiao Yan's slightly surprised gaze, it gradually spread out.
Upon seeing the Demon Phoenix, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed instantly. He hadn't expected the pill to be so extraordinary; the condensed fragrance could actually transform into Demon Phoenix. This alone was enough to prove the pill's exceptional quality. Moreover, based on the rich fragrance, Xiao Yan could roughly guess that the pill's grade was probably beyond his current understanding.
"Call..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan opened his palm and carefully poured the pills from the jade bottle into his hand.
As soon as he held the pill in his hand, a faint warmth emanated from it. Xiao Yan focused his gaze and saw a golden pill, radiating a faint, Xiao Yan golden light, lying quietly in his palm. He could vaguely sense the powerful medicinal force within the pill, a force far beyond that of ordinary pills. Even Emperor Grade Pill paled in comparison.
On the surface of the golden pill was a crimson area. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yan noticed that the shape of this crimson area was exactly like that of Demon Phoenix. Moreover, as the crimson light slowly flowed across it, the pair of wings seemed to be flapping, giving Xiao Yan a strange illusion.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yan seemed to detect a familiar aura within the pill.
Demon Phoenix Bloodline!
"This... the Demon Phoenix bloodline of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly froze, and a deep look of shock appeared on his pale face. He could hardly imagine that the pill in front of him actually contained the bloodline power of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!
It should be noted that as the supreme beings in the Beast Realm, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan stands at the pinnacle of the continent, even in the Origin Martial Continent!
Xiao Yan was also familiar with the rules of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. They had strict requirements regarding the bloodline and corpses of their clansmen. Anyone outside the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan who obtained the Demon Phoenix bloodline would be recorded on the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's kill list. The fact that the old man in the golden robe in front of him could refine it into Formed Pill suggested that the old man's true identity was far beyond Xiao Yan's imagination!
Seeing the look of shock on Xiao Yan's face, the golden-robed elder grinned, revealing a rather arrogant smile, seemingly not caring at all about the Demon Phoenix bloodline in the pill.
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan immediately stopped hesitating and quickly fed the Xiao Jin in his hand to Xiao Jin.
Although this Nirvana Pill was of high grade, Xiao Yan found its medicinal properties to be extremely mild. The violent power of the Demon Phoenix bloodline was also suppressed by another bloodline, which made Xiao Yan's eyes gleam.
After Xiao Jin swallowed the pill, a faint golden light immediately surged out from his body, enveloping Xiao Jin blood-stained form.
Immediately, Xiao Yan clearly saw that the wounds on Xiao Jin's body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it could not completely heal, it was still several times stronger than Xiao Yan's Emperor Grade Pill.
It's hard to imagine what grade of pill this Nirvana Pill is.
With such an astonishing recovery speed, this pill must be at least a fourth-grade pill!
Seeing Xiao Jin rapidly recovering from his injuries, Xiao Yan finally smiled with relief on his pale face. Then, he raised his head again and looked at the golden-robed elder opposite him.
This time, Xiao Yan's expression changed from its previous solemnity. Judging from the old man's actions, he genuinely wanted to help Xiao Jin and had no ulterior motives. This was enough for Xiao Yan to treat him with respect.
With his hands clasped in a fist salute, Xiao Yan bowed respectfully to the old man. As the old man nodded and chuckled, Xiao Yan raised his gaze, his eyes fixed on him, a sharp glint in his dark pupils. He then spoke in a low voice:
"Senior, if I'm not mistaken, you must be... a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the golden robe opposite Xiao Yan couldn't help but pause slightly, then burst into laughter without saying anything. His cloudy old eyes stared at Xiao Yan, and the two men locked eyes, understanding each other without words.
