Following Xiao Yan's awakening, Xiao Yan Murong Qianqian spent almost the entire next few days by his side, her pretty face always beaming with a sweet smile.
As for Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, while other men might be thrilled to receive such treatment, he felt nothing but utter helplessness.
Having a beautiful woman by your side might be the thought in the hearts of countless men, but for Xiao Yan, who already has a family, he has no interest in flirting anymore. All he can think about now is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
After spending a few days with Murong Qianqian, Xiao Yan learned from her that the Bing Shuang beauty's full name was Leng Bingshuang, and her background was roughly the same as what Xiao Yan already knew. She was a terrifying existence at the level of a true overlord of the Xilin Mountain Range.
Of course, based on Xiao Yan's guess, Leng Bingshuang's strength is probably such that no one in the entire Western Region can rival her.
However, during his conversation with Murong Qianqian, Xiao Yan quickly dismissed the idea.
As a super strong expert in the Origin Transformation Realm, Leng Bingshuang has dominated the Xilin Mountain Range for so many years, yet she has always been injured!
It's hard to imagine that someone could inflict irreparable injuries on a Origin Transformation Realm expert. Their strength must at least be a terrifying existence on par with Leng Bingshuang!
"Another expert at the Origin Transformation Realm!"
Thinking of this, even with Xiao Yan's composure, his heart couldn't help but pound violently a few times, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
Finally, Xiao Yan used the excuse that he needed to rest to temporarily appease Murong Qianqian, who then reluctantly left the cave. Xiao Yan, in turn, got a temporary respite.
"Call..."
Seeing the door to the cave tightly closed, Xiao Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief. Although he had received a lot of information during this time, he had to admit that this girl was a real chatterbox. Even Xiao Yan, who was known for his sharp tongue, had to admit defeat in front of her!
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan sighed, then turned his brow and asked about the Gu You within his body.
" Elder Gu, now it's your turn to make your appearance. Tell me, how am I supposed to get that Ice Spirit Cold Spring? You didn't bring me here just to play with this little girl, did you?"
"Hehe, not bad, you were right."
"Well..."
Upon hearing Gu You's reply, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, speechless for a moment. He pursed his lips and then said in a deep voice:
" Elder Gu, this is no time for jokes. The Ice Spirit Cold Spring is right in front of us. You can't just let me keep looking at it like this. That woman, Leng Bingshuang, is no pushover. Once the cold energy in my body is dispelled, she will definitely kick me out of here first."
"So you have to do it before that."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Gu You followed up in a solemn voice.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan slumped heavily onto the bed behind him, his left arm under his head, his right hand casually placed at his waist, his index finger tapping lightly. His mind raced, searching for a solution. After a moment, he spoke again:
" Elder Gu, you can't expect me to steal it. Although I consider myself fast, I'm only at the level of Half-Emperor. With that woman's strength, she'll probably be watching me the moment I step out of this door."
"Hehe, so I didn't ask you to steal it. But you, you stupid brat, do you really think I'm someone you'd let you do something like that?"
"That..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned, a look of doubt appearing between his brows.
"Here, this is for you."
Gu You said casually.
The next moment, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. A huge amount of unfamiliar information suddenly surged into Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan mind, making his head feel like it was about to explode. It took him a while to gradually digest this massive amount of information.
"Uh... this... this is..."
"A third-tier pill, the Bodhi Restoration Pill. The girl's injuries were also caused by the condensation of cold energy. This Bodhi Restoration Pill can help her recover from her injuries. Of course, if she were to recover using ordinary methods, her injuries would obviously be much better than they are now."
"Hey, but this girl is quite stubborn. Knowing that her injury was caused by the condensation of cold air, she still dared to stay in this cold and damp place. Over the years, although her injury has healed somewhat, more importantly, the cold air has seeped into her body, leaving behind a tuberculosis that is difficult to cure. And this is exactly what gave you the opportunity."
Gu You chuckled, his tone sly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that Gu You had already discovered Leng Bingshuang's injuries!
However, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be surprised by the pill formula that Gu You had given him. As Spirit of Heavenly Flames, it was quite astonishing that Gu You would have such a thing as a pill formula.
"Hehe, kid, don't overthink it. Back in the day, Tou She Ancient God was a legendary figure, but he only possessed a third-tier pill formula. Don't even mention that; Tou She Ancient God certainly had higher-tier pill formulas. I only collected a very small portion of them."
As if seeing through Xiao Yan's thoughts, Gu You smiled again, but there was an undeniable sense of pride in his tone.
Although the ancient Tou She Ancient God Tou She Ancient God forcibly devoured them, didn't they also have a glorious period alongside him?
Looking back on these events now, Gu You also feels a sense of things having changed.
Even a powerful Tou She Ancient God was ultimately defeated by the loneliness of these vicissitudes of Suiyue. On the other hand, those Heavenly Flames that Tou She Ancient God had devoured one by one were now able to roam freely in this vast world.
What's the use of being the strongest?
Suiyue goes by, everything eventually turns to dust. Perhaps, when the Tou She Ancient God dispersed his cultivation, he was trying to tell the world this truth.
Of course, those principles can only be understood by the strong. Right now, Xiao Yan is struggling to protect himself, so he naturally has no time to ponder those questions.
Outside, noticing Gu You's renewed silence, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, tentatively asking Gu You in his mind:
" Elder Gu, since you have so many pill formulas, why not..."
"You want the elixir formula?"
Gu You smiled, and Xiao Yan nodded excitedly. He sat up abruptly, as if waiting for Gu You to pass on all the pill formulas to him.
"Go find them yourself. There are so many Alchemist Guild. As long as you have the ability, you can take any Yao Dan they have without anyone daring to say a word. Alternatively, go to the Alchemist Alliance. That's a paradise for alchemists. If you can get in there, you won't lack not only third-tier pill formulas, but also fourth- and fifth-tier ones. Of course, first of all, you must have the qualifications to make them willingly hand over their formulas to you."
In response, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. Judging from Gu You's words, it was clear that he was unwilling to give it.
Muttering a few words to himself, Xiao Yan was about to lie down again when, at that moment, the heavy stone door inside the cave was opened once more. At the same time, a beautiful figure exuding an icy aura slowly walked in from outside the door. As she entered the cave, she slammed the stone door shut tightly in front of Xiao Yan's horrified gaze.
