After the Pill Lightning dissipated, Xiao Yan, having subdued the Bodhi Restoration Pill, went limp and collapsed onto the cliff top, falling into a deep sleep.
More than half a year of long-term alchemy had left Xiao Yan Xiao Yan weak, both physically and mentally. He desperately needed rest, but unexpectedly, this sleep lasted for half a month.
For the past two weeks, Xiao Yan's body lay supine on the cliff top like a corpse, unmoved by the wind. The Northern King stood guard beside Xiao Yan like an iron tower. With him standing there, no one was allowed to approach him, not even the three members of the Tian Ying.
This made the three brothers extremely anxious. Although the pills had been refined, seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, they were truly worried. They were afraid that something might happen to Xiao Yan while refining the pills, which would be a great loss for the three brothers!
In half a month, Tian Ying and his two companions, along with A Bao, had confessed everything that had happened. Although A Bao admitted that his actions were all to help Xiao Yan, the three of Tian Ying still had doubts in their hearts. A Bao was also in a semi-preconceived state regarding this.
To truly join this place, initial skepticism is naturally essential; otherwise, it would be laughable if he truly regarded everyone here as a naive fool.
This is the Xilin Mountain Range, the gathering place of all the powerful magical beasts in the Western Lin Region. No ordinary people are accepted here.
Meanwhile, outside the Xilin Mountain Range Xilin Mountain Range, news of the strange celestial phenomenon that occurred there half a month ago was also spreading rapidly.
The Bai Clan mansion, Four Great Clans.
"Father, have you heard? It happened half a month ago."
In the council hall, Bai Ying and his son sat prominently in the center. At this moment, Bai Ying was holding a cup of tea, listening to Bai Zhan's statement while sipping the tea.
Upon hearing Bai Zhan's words, Bai Ying put down his teacup, looked up at Bai Zhan opposite him, nodded slightly, and said:
"Of course I've heard about it. The thunderclouds that blot out the sky and cover the entire mountain range—how could I not have heard of something so spectacular?"
"What do you think this is? Is someone undergoing the Emperor Tribulation, or something else?"
Bai Zhan frowned slightly and asked in a suspicious tone.
" Emperor Tribulation, you should know what that means. Besides, you've seen that kind of spectacle before, so you should be very clear about it. Although it's possible, I don't think that was Emperor Tribulation."
What is that?
Bai Zhan pressed for an answer, but Bai Ying just smiled, staring intently at the latter, and countered with:
"And what else were you referring to earlier?"
"Is it Pill Lightning?"
Bai Zhan was slightly startled and couldn't help but speak up.
"Yes, it should be right."
"A third-tier pill? Otherwise, a regular second-tier pill wouldn't be able to attract that level of Pill Lightning."
Upon hearing Bai Ying's guess, Bai Zhan immediately spoke up. Then, the father and son looked at each other, their lips curving upwards in a meaningful smile.
"It seems like it's been about half a year since that guy last disappeared. The only person capable of creating such a spectacle, especially in the Xilin Mountain Range, is probably him."
Bai Ying smiled and said, but a hint of surprise couldn't help but show in his eyes. The latter actually chose the Xilin Mountain Range as the location for refining medicine. Wasn't he afraid of being targeted by the guys in there?
But on second thought, it makes sense. Given his strength and personality, he might feel safer in the Xilin Mountain Range than in human territory when refining medicine.
" Xiao Yan..."
Bai Zhan squinted and murmured the name.
He couldn't help but recall what had happened half a year ago, when he, the young master of the Bai Clan, was threatened by Xiao Yan and forced to hand over his precious Magic Core. Even now, thinking about it made him feel extremely frustrated.
"Father, should we send someone to check on them? What if those three families..."
"No need. Let them go if they want. Xiao Yan wouldn't have chosen that place for alchemy without a certain level of confidence. If the three families really have the guts to go, then let them go. Let's see how many go and how many come back."
Before Bai Zhan could finish speaking, Bai Ying sneered. As things stand, those three families have put Xiao Yan on their kill list. Because of him, each of the three families has lost a Dou Di- level expert, which is undoubtedly a severe blow to their families. It seems that only his Bai Clan has not been affected at all.
"Alright, go back and cultivate. Get ready. I heard that the Zhuo Clan kid is almost at the Three-Star Dou Di. Hmph, he's the Zhuo Clan's future hope!"
Bai Ying narrowed his eyes, a hint of disdain appearing deep within them.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhan paused slightly, then chuckled softly and rose to leave the main hall.
" Xiao Yan, I'm really curious about what kind of person you are. Unfortunately, the more curious you are, the more you need to stop. Curiosity always kills the cat. Better safe than sorry!"
Inside the main hall, a faint sigh echoed, and then Bai Ying, who was sitting in the chair, gradually twisted his body and slowly disappeared.
Xilin Mountain Range.
At the summit, Xiao Yan, who had been asleep for half a month, finally awoke slowly.
The moment the bright sunlight shone into his eyes, Xiao Yan subconsciously raised his right hand to shield them from the sun. It wasn't until a few breaths later that Xiao Yan gradually adjusted to the sunlight filtering through his fingers.
Sitting up, Xiao Yan saw the Northern King standing guard to his side. His gaze swept across the sky, but Tian Ying and the others were nowhere to be seen. With a thought, a vast Spiritual Strength rapidly spread out from the depths of his brow, and in the blink of an eye, he discovered the whereabouts of the four people.
After a two-week nap, Xiao Yan's condition returned to its peak in all aspects. It has to be said that no matter how much rest you get, nothing is as refreshing as a good night's sleep.
With a slight smile, Xiao Yan sat up cross-legged again. He didn't intend to disturb the four people; Xiao Yan had something else to do.
Raising his hand, Xiao Yan stroked the patterns on the Luo Heavenly Cauldron in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for it. He had been asleep for half a month, and the cauldron in front of him had been exposed to the wind for half a month as well. This made Xiao Yan really reluctant to part with it!
Immediately afterwards, the hand that was stroking the medicine cauldron trembled slightly, and with a "poof" sound, the flames inside the cauldron rose up again.
The Bodhi Restoration Pill has been successfully refined. Next, Xiao Yan plans to refine the Emperor Tribulation Pill!
