The Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, on the sixth floor.
Elder Xuan's figure slowly emerged from somewhere in the hall, looking at the young man standing by the window with an admiring smile.
After a long while, when the man had withdrawn his gaze, Elder Xuan smiled and sighed:
"Young Master, it has truly been a long time since I've seen you pay such attention to anyone!"
The man chuckled softly, offering no reply, but a glint of light flickered in his eyes.
"How?"
Clear and distinctive words slowly flowed from his mouth. Elder Xuan Elder Xuan the meaning behind his words and, without much hesitation, sighed softly and smiled:
"This lad is extraordinary. Even I, an old man, must be extremely careful when conversing with him! Moreover, he has been subtly probing the overall strength of my Cloud-Hidden Pavilion. If I weren't quite shrewd enough, I might have actually managed to extract some information from him!"
The man smiled again, as if he had expected this, and asked again:
Is he looking for something?
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that the young master was paying a little too much attention to that Yan Xiao!
"No, that's not true. It's just that, following your instructions, I gifted him the piece of Flame Essence Jade Marrow he requested."
The man nodded slightly without speaking, but Elder Xuan suddenly chuckled and said:
"When I spoke with him, I reminded him that Li Gan's strength was that of Six-Star Half-Emperor, but his answer was rather strange."
Before the man could ask, Elder Xuan continued:
He said that if Li Gan didn't bother with him, he wouldn't bother with him either, which seemed rather arrogant...
Elder Xuan's words were not just empty talk. He saw that the man in front of him was clearly paying close attention to Xiao Yan and was afraid that he had misjudged him, which was why he said such a thing.
But upon hearing this, the man let out a strange laugh, then turned to look at Elder Xuan and said with a smile:
" Elder Xuan, you say he's arrogant? Ha! If you had seen how he killed a Cloud-Splitting Wolf with the strength of Eight-Star Half-Emperor, you probably wouldn't think that way!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the few remaining Half-Emperor in the hall, including Elder Xuan, all changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at the man.
To kill Eight-Star Half-Emperor with a single blow—what terrifying strength that must require!
Could a mere Three-Star Half-Emperor really do that?
However, since these words came from the mouth of this young man, none of the people present had any doubts. Therefore, at this moment, everyone's assessment of Xiao Yan's strength could be summed up in four words: "Pretending to be weak to catch a tiger!"
The figure standing by the window, the young master of the Cloud Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, as everyone in the Ancient Wilderness City calls him, is none other than Luo Jin, who parted ways with Xiao Yan not long ago!
Inside an inn, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, his Flame Mantra Heaven Technique slowly circulating within him. The purest and most refined energy of heaven and Xiao Yan manifested from the space around him, transforming into strands of energy that entered his meridians through the pores of his body. As the technique continued to circulate, after several refinements, the energy finally flowed into the Xiao Yan vortex within Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan along the technique's pathway.
This situation continued for a full two hours before the vortex of energy within Xiao Yan's body gradually stopped operating, and the vast energy of heaven and earth surrounding Xiao Yan also slowly dissipated.
Xiao Yan, still sitting cross-legged on the bed, twitched his eyelids slightly and slowly opened his eyes. The instant he opened his eyes, a sharp and incomparable light suddenly shot out from Xiao Yan's eyes, instantly tearing apart the Void Space in front of him before disappearing into it.
With a slight smile, seemingly unconcerned, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his hand, and an exquisite jade box appeared out of thin air in his palm.
Ignoring the extreme cold that would freeze mountains and rivers in the eyes of ordinary people, Xiao Yan opened the jade box in his palm.
Inside the jade box, the crimson crystal, about the size of an adult's palm, was finally exposed to the air.
The moment it was released, the crystal seemed to be venting the resentment that had accumulated over a long period of time while it was sealed away.
Before the jade box could be fully opened, a terrifying flame, hotter than a torrent of magma, erupted from the crystal and instantly engulfed the room where Xiao Yan was.
Despite the terrifying flames that even Dou Sheng Expert would have to be wary of, Xiao Yan smiled again and murmured softly:
"You've got quite a temper, haven't you? But heh, I don't want to pay for this! How can I let you destroy this place like this?"
"Return!"
With a soft shout, the terrifying flames that had not yet truly engulfed the entire guest room were quickly withdrawn, as if they had heard a divine command.
Although the flames were terrifying, at this moment, thanks to that soft rebuke, nothing in the guest room was damaged; even the crystal surface remained extremely cool.
At this moment, the icy aura that had been completely suppressed surged up again, and in just an instant, the crimson crystal stone had transformed into a block of ice that looked like a ball of fire encased in ice.
He took out the ice block that had suddenly grown several sizes larger, and the ice vanished at an alarming rate. In Xiao Yan's palm, only the crimson crystal remained.
" Flame Essence Jade Marrow, hehe, I really didn't expect to encounter such a top-grade fire-attribute Flame Crystal here. The Cloud-Hidden Pavilion is truly generous!"
Flame Essence Jade Marrow, the true essence of Flame Essence Jade, contains extremely violent and terrifying fire-attribute energy, making it one of the best among many fire-attribute Flame Crystal.
Xiao Yan was certain that if he had been asked to buy it with his own money back then, even if he had taken out all 280,000 Spirit Coin he currently possessed, he might not have been able to purchase this piece of Flame Essence Jade Marrow.
This shows just how precious this Flame Essence Jade Marrow is!
The items that can be placed in this Cloud-Hidden Pavilion are truly all extraordinary!
Xiao Yan needs this very thing to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Avatar Art!
Without hesitation, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan away the jade box. With a thought, an extremely terrifying Spiritual Strength instantly surged out from between his eyebrows, and nine avatars appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
With a flick of his sleeve, the Flame Essence Jade Marrow in his palm shot out instantly, directly entering one of the nine avatars' bodies.
With a thought, a dazzling flame instantly enveloped the avatar, while the other eight avatars instantly retracted. After all, a single fire-attribute Flame Crystal could only be used to inscribe a technique mark once, and could not simultaneously support all nine avatars.
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan instantly understood that he would be penniless again in the future!
With a sigh, Xiao Yan shook his head, expelling the distracting thoughts from his mind. His spirits lifted, and terrifying Soul Power surged forth once more, transforming into an invisible blade above Xiao Yan head, flying towards the Flame Essence Jade Marrow.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound, like metal clashing, suddenly reverberated from the depths of Xiao Yan's soul, causing him to instantly furrow his Xiao Yan.
"I never imagined that the process of imprinting this technique would be so difficult. Even with my Emperor Realm Soul, I couldn't shake it. It seems that truly condensing this avatar will be quite challenging!"
With a thought flashing through his mind, Xiao Yan no longer held back, unleashing the vast and boundless Soul Power within his mind, which flowed into the soul blade.
At this moment, with Xiao Yan's immense Soul Power pouring in, the originally invisible blade had completely materialized, appearing as if it were real, which was astonishing.
"Drink!"
With a sudden shout in his heart, Xiao Yan controlled the Soul Blade to slash out, colliding fiercely with the Flame Essence Jade Marrow.
"Clang!"
Another crisp sound rang out, and an invisible ripple, like waves on water, spread out from the point of impact. However, this time, unlike before, a light white mark was left on the Flame Essence Jade Marrow.
