The Northern Region, located in the North Sea.
On the third day after the ship entered the North Sea, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in his private room, slowly opened his eyes.
After three days of cultivation, Xiao Yan had adjusted himself to his peak condition, and now it was time to begin preparing to refine the Phoenix Chick Pill.
The Phoenix Chick Pill is a fourth-tier pill, and its quality is among the highest of fourth-tier pills. Naturally, it is not without its troubles to refine. During this process, if one can adjust one's own condition to its peak, it will undoubtedly provide some guarantee for the refinement of the pill.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Yan's thoughts stirred, and his Spiritual Strength immediately spread outward to investigate the situation on the ship.
On the ship at this time, in addition to the two Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di experts sent by Dragon Marsh Workshop for escort, there were five Eight-Star Dou Di, more than ten Seven-Star Dou Di, and the rest were all below six stars. Such a team could be considered powerful.
Having withdrawn his Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and the heavy Luo Heavenly Cauldron landed in front of him. Old Gu aura filled the room, calming everyone's mind.
Using the Luo Heavenly Cauldron to refine pills can speed up the refining process to some extent and increase the success rate. With the Luo Heavenly Cauldron, refining the Phoenix Chick Pill will naturally be much easier.
As the Heavenly Flames rose within the medicine cauldron, the interior of the cyan-gold cauldron instantly became bright. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Yan sent medicinal herbs flying out of his Storage Ring. Under the control of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, they were thrown into the medicine cauldron and began to be rapidly refined under the terrifying high temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
This training lasted for two months.
Time slips away like sand through one's fingers, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed. Xiao Yan, who had been sitting in his room for a long time, found that the fresh medicinal herbs in the medicine cauldron in front of him had all disappeared and instead condensed into a perfectly round pill, emitting a fragrant aroma.
After consuming two doses of medicinal herbs, the Phoenix Chick Pill was finally refined. Now, it has reached the final stage of Pill Nurturing before being collected. In a short while, the Phoenix Chick Pill will be complete.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed across the azure sea, changing the color of the sky and earth. In the blink of an eye, the once clear sky was covered by a dark, heavy cloud, and the whole world suddenly became gloomy. Ships that had been slowly sailing on the sea also came to a stop at this moment.
The weather changed abruptly, forcing them to stop their ship and wait for the storm to pass.
Everyone standing on the deck couldn't help but look up, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt as they gazed at the thunderclouds that had suddenly gathered in the sky. Most of them wore solemn expressions, while some powerful individuals inside the buildings also emerged from their houses due to the commotion outside, their eyes filled with uncertainty as they looked at the sky.
"What's going on? These don't seem to be ordinary dark clouds!"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from that thundercloud, the people on the ship couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and some even guessed what this strange thundercloud was.
"Could this be Pill Lightning?"
"Could someone be practicing alchemy on the ship?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze shifted sharply, some surprised and doubtful, others burning with fervor.
The condensation of the Pill Lightning indicated that the pill had been successfully refined, which inevitably stirred malicious thoughts in some people on the ship.
Now that the Pill Lightning has condensed, it's a formidable force. The mysterious alchemist will surely have to intervene to resist the Pill Lightning, and this gap will be the perfect opportunity for them to seize the pills!
Such a great opportunity would be one that some desperate criminals would never miss!
"Laugh!"
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out from the ship, and a figure flashed out from a house below like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the sky. Judging from his appearance, it was Xiao Yan.
Standing in the void, Xiao Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the people standing on the deck below. Then he raised his head, staring at the Pill Lightning in the sky, feeling the powerful destructive aura surging from it. A slow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, that's exactly what I've been waiting for!"
His Golden Elephant Art is still a short distance from mastery, but the appearance of this Pill Lightning today might just be the perfect opportunity to make up for that gap.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Just as Xiao Yan stood in the sky, several more whooshing sounds followed, and a dozen figures quickly surrounded him within a hundred meters. Seeing their greedy expressions, a cold look appeared on Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan face.
He had anticipated this situation. There will always be some people in this world who can't resist taking action because of greed. The best way to deal with such people is through bloodshed.
Although the dozen or so people surrounded Xiao Yan, none of them made a move. They were all waiting for the moment when the Pill Lightning would descend.
Once the Pill Lightning descends, Xiao Yan will be too preoccupied to attend to them, giving them the opportunity to compete for the pills still inside the cauldron.
Ignoring these people, Xiao Yan still looked up, his calm eyes containing a hint of disdain, a cold smile in his heart, waiting for the Pill Lightning to descend.
Somewhere on the ship, two middle-aged men stood atop a pavilion. Their expressions, which had been furrowed as they looked at Xiao Yan, shifted slightly. They had originally intended to stop the dozen or so Dou Di experts, but just now, they had clearly seen the faint, cold smile that had swept across Xiao Yan's lips.
Immediately, the thoughts in their hearts were suppressed.
"Boom!"
Faced with Xiao Yan's provocative gaze, the thundercloud seemed to come alive, suddenly churning violently. The deafening thunderclaps were deafening, and terrifying lightning bolts filled with destructive aura occasionally shot out from the thundercloud. The terrifying aura only flashed by for a moment, but it still made the hearts of the people below tremble.
The Pill Lightning attracted by fourth-grade pills is truly terrifying, even causing Dou Di experts to feel fear. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the Pill Lightning would be if it were a higher-grade pill!
"Boom!"
At a certain moment, just as the booming sound in the thunderclouds was about to dissipate, a hundred-foot-long bolt of lightning, earth-shattering and devastating, suddenly shot out from the thunderclouds, carrying a world-destroying power, and fiercely struck down towards Xiao Yan, who was quietly waiting below!
At this moment, the expressions of the Dou Di experts standing on the deck below all changed. Their solemn gazes were fixed on the terrifying lightning bolt that was falling rapidly in the sky. The Dou Qi in their bodies also involuntarily surged outward, condensing into energy shields of different colors on their respective bodies.
Meanwhile, the two middle-aged men not far away were also quietly circulating their Dou Qi, ready to make a move if the situation turned against them.
Almost simultaneously, the dozen or so Dou Di experts surrounding Xiao Yan also flashed away, their faces burning with fervor as they rushed towards Xiao Yan's house directly below.
