The fifth Alchemist Conference came to a close soon. The winner of the final championship did not change. It was still Gu He, who was nearly 30 years old. He crushed everyone with a fourth-grade high-level elixir and won the final championship. He stood on the podium amid the cheers of the crowd, raised his hands high, and enjoyed the flattery of the crowd.

Gu He took a deep breath, and his usual calm expression disappeared at this moment. A smile covered his entire face. The feeling of his hard work being rewarded swept through his body, making him want to scream out loud, his whole body trembling with excitement.

His eyes couldn't help but look up to the platform, where there was a cool and beautiful figure that always attracted him.

Before, he didn't dare to reveal his feelings at all, because the other party's status was too high. Compared with the young master of Yunlan Sect, the status of a fourth-grade alchemist was much worse after all. But now he has won the championship of the Alchemist Conference, proving his talent and strength, which made him more confident. At least he dared to look the other party in the face and even pursue him!

Gu He, who is nearly thirty years old, has never been moved by women until he met Yun Yun!

……

"The champion is indeed Gu He. He has great talent..."

Fa Ma narrowed his eyes and stroked his long beard. His old voice was deep and powerful. He was not surprised by the final outcome. In the previous rounds of selection, Gu He had shown absolute overwhelming strength. It was also expected that he would win the championship in the end.

If he had not known about Yao Yan's affairs, he might have looked up to him, but when he learned that Yao Yan was such a monster, the gap between the two became obvious.

One had reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist at the age of seventeen, while the other was barely able to reach the fifth-grade level until he was nearly thirty.

The gap is truly like heaven and earth.

Yunshan's eyes were calm, without any ripples. He had previously thought of recruiting Gu He to become Yun Yun's assistant. With the help of the Yunlan Sect's power, it would be enough to cultivate Gu He to the fifth or even sixth level. He also saw some of Gu He's thoughts about Yun Yun. If the two of them could develop some feelings, he would be happy to see it, but now... there is no harm without comparison.

Goods are afraid of comparison, and so are people.

Yun Yun was as cold and noble as ever, her eyes were elegant and quiet, with a hint of melancholy in them. It was obvious that this melancholy was caused by Yao Yan. Even though she was not the type who liked to compare, she couldn't help but feel a little upset when she suddenly learned of the existence of such a monster.

At the same time, I was also curious about what kind of boy the other person was.

Jia Xingtian looked at Gu He who was enjoying the cheers, glanced at Yun Shan, and asked, "Aren't you going to recruit him? His talent as an alchemist is pretty good."

From the joking tone, it was obvious that he had already known Yunshan's purpose. If Yunshan did not value Gu He, why would he come to participate in the 5th Alchemist Conference in person? The other party is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun.

Yunshan said calmly, "Yunyun, send someone to talk to him. He can propose any conditions."

Jia Xingtian's expression froze. He didn't expect Yunshan to be so unworldly.

"is teacher!"

Yun Yun's eyes were cold. She responded in a low voice and turned to leave.

After he left, Yunshan ignored the old man Jia Xingtian and looked at Hai Bodong. He said in a deep voice: "I will wait for him in Yunlan Sect. If that young master comes, I will welcome him!"

Haibodong nodded.

Yunshan got the answer, and the wings of fighting spirit behind him spread out, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the Yunlan Sect in the distance. The Yunlan Sect’s headquarters was originally close to the holy capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

Watching Yunshan leave, Jia Xingtian turned into a stream of light and flew towards the imperial city. He also had to consider the future of the Gama Empire.

"Pharaoh, I am leaving now."

Hai Bodong looked at Fa Ma and said with a smile.

Fa Ma reminded him, “When that young friend Yao Yan arrives, don’t forget to inform me that my Alchemist Guild is still short of a successor!”

"That depends on what he thinks."

Hai Bodong smiled, turned into a stream of light and left.

at the same time.

Gu He looked at the elders of Yunlan Mountain who came to recruit him, frowned slightly, and felt that he was looked down upon. However, he immediately thought of the scene he saw on the high platform before. Could it be that the leader and the young leader of Yunlan Sect encountered something? !
Gu He pondered for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "I wonder if the young master of Yunlan Sect is here? I want to have a face-to-face meeting with her!"

"The Young Sect Master has just returned to Yunlan Mountain. If you want to meet with him, you can go to Yunlan Sect first!"

The Yunlan Sect elder remained calm and smiled as he spoke. He had obviously seen Gu He's feelings for the Young Sect Master Yun Yun. However, such feelings were normal. Young people admired the Young Sect Master. In the Yunlan Sect, there were many people who admired the Young Sect Master. Gu He was not the first, nor the last.

"it is good!"

Gu He nodded in response.

……

……

Three days later.

Along with a powerful fighting spirit bursting out, Yao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and golden flames burned slowly in the depths of his eyes, but compared to the golden color before, there was now a hint of emerald green in the flame, as if the characteristics of the phantom golden fire had changed slightly.

"Eight-star Dou Ling!"

Yao Yan clenched his fists, feeling the abundant fighting spirit in his body, and thought to himself, at the same time he raised his hand to summon the phantom golden fire. A golden flame directly covered his palm, but as the flame rose, a faint green lingered on it, with a hint of the charm of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Eating too many Earth Fire Lotus Seeds... Yao Yan knew clearly that he had been practicing hard for the past few months and had swallowed quite a few Earth Fire Lotus Seeds. He also practiced while sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus and occasionally used the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to forge his body. With the operation of the Burning Decree, his fighting spirit naturally took on a lot of the flavor of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Compared to beast fire, strange fire is too overbearing after all. Even if it is just contaminated, it is enough to directly change the characteristics of beast fire.

"Now we can refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire."

He looked at the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in the Black Demon Cauldron. With his current level of cultivation, if he wanted to continue to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Ling, the peak of Dou Ling, it might take two or three months. The effect of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed on him was minimal, and his body's adaptability to the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire had reached its limit. If he wanted to continue to improve, he could only start from the inside.

For example, swallowing the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire!
Thinking of this, Yao Yan looked at Hua She'er who was standing beside him. This personal guard of Queen Medusa had been staying here for some time to take care of Yao Yan's daily life. Any items he needed during this period were obtained from her. As for Cai Die... she would come every day for a period of time and then leave. Cai Lin seemed to be worried that something would happen between the two of them. It was not that she had no confidence in Yao Yan, but she had no confidence in her stupid sister. Even if she had taught her a lot, she was afraid that this silly girl would come to her door on her own.

"What do you need, sir?"

The flower snake twisted its slender waist and moved closer while its tail swayed. It looked at Yao Yan with gentle eyes and asked softly in a sweet voice, like a caring older sister.

Yao Yan nodded, admired Hua She'er, and then turned his gaze to the Black Demon Cauldron. He slowly said, "Go and inform your queen. I am going to refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. The movement will be quite loud. I need her to help me seal the aura to prevent unnecessary trouble."

Hua Sheer nodded slightly, and the wings of fighting spirit behind her spread out, turning into a golden stream of light and flying towards the palace.

Soon, Queen Medusa and her two sisters rushed over after receiving the news.

"When does it begin?"

Cai Lin stared at Yao Yan with her cold eyes, and spoke lightly with a hint of natural charm in her voice.

Yao Yan smiled slightly and said slowly: "Now."

Caidie clenched her fists nervously and encouraged, "Young Master, come on!"

"Don't worry, I have confidence!"

Yao Yan reached out and touched Caidie's hair, and said with a smile that he had been preparing for so long, it would be abnormal if he still could not refine the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

He will definitely swallow this strange fire today!
Cai Lin stopped talking nonsense and slowly rose into the air. As powerful fighting spirit rose from his body, a light purple barrier enveloped the entire island like a water curtain, completely isolating this place from the outside world. Unless Yao Yan burned the entire island down in the process of refining the strange fire.

Yao Yan waved at Caidie, signaling the two to step back, and then opened the Black Magic Cauldron. Suddenly a wave of fire gushed out of it. Even the Ice Spirit Cold Spring could not block the overbearing fire power.

He flicked his fingers and used his soul power to control the Green Lotus to float in front of him. He jumped lightly and sat cross-legged on it. Then he came to the Black Demon Cauldron and reached out his hand into the Green Lotus's Core Fire. Suddenly, the Green Lotus's Core Fire inside surged, and the flames filled with destructive power continued to rise, stimulating the skin on Yao Yan's arms to naturally turn into bright silver.

"Zizi~"

When the two intersected, it was like entering an oil pan, causing the temperature of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire to soar.

At this time, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire seemed to have sensed Yao Yan's actions. Suddenly, the green flame rolled violently, and the energy of heaven and earth contained in the surrounding space also seemed to riot at this moment. The colorful mottled energy flowed slowly, like a colorful river, extremely dazzling.

The Green Lotus Earth Core Fire leaped out along Yao Yan's arm. The flames that floated out from time to time burned the colorful energy hovering around the Black Demon Cauldron into nothingness, as if a corner was missing.

With the sudden riot of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, the temperature of the entire island soared instantly, and the ground around the Black Demon Cauldron began to crack inch by inch.

"Is this the true power of the strange fire?"

Hua She'er stared at the scene with her mouth wide open, feeling a little frightened. She had no doubt that if this strange fire was thrown into the city, the power it would unleash would be enough to burn down the entire city in an instant. Yao Yan's performance at this moment was also extremely abnormal. He reached his hand in without any protection, as if he was looking for something inside.

"found it!"

Most of Yao Yan's clothes had been burned, revealing his perfect upper body. At this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. His arm stretched out from the Black Demon Cauldron, and a liquid thing like green magma was slightly wriggling in it.

This thing is actually the original fire of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

As Yao Yan pulled out the original fire, the huge blue lotus core fire in the Black Demon Cauldron seemed to have lost its origin. It quickly shrank and finally turned into a tiny green flame, sinking into the green magma strip in Yao Yan's palm.

Yao Yan looked at the object in his hand. Even without using his soul power to perceive it, he could clearly feel the huge energy contained in it. The power that had been nurtured for thousands of years was enough to annihilate everything. If it completely erupted, even a Dou Zong-level strongman would have no choice but to perish.

The reason why Xiao Yan's self-created Fire Lotus Fighting Skill in the original novel is so powerful is because of this reason. Because of the Burning Decree, the strange fire is integrated with himself and released with fighting spirit, which is tantamount to blasting out the original power of the strange fire. The destructive power formed can be imagined.

"Life and death, the strong and the weak, are a process of constant choice..."

Yao Yan inexplicably thought of what Hunxuzi had said at the beginning. Although the other party was not a good-for-nothing, what he taught him was most in line with the survival rules of the Douqi Continent. If one wants to become a truly strong man, one needs to be prepared to fight to the death. There is no such thing as a shortcut in this world!

If you can get through it, you will become a truly strong person, soaring into the sky and overlooking the world.

If you can't make it through, you'll be nothing more than a cup of dirt, annihilating everyone.

Afraid?!
Yao Yan asked himself this question, and after a moment, he grinned. He was afraid, of course, but he was more afraid of his own weakness and incompetence. Without any hesitation, he threw the fire stick in his hand, which was like magma, into his mouth.

This scene instantly made the three snake women present gasp for breath. Caidie even covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream and disturb Yaoyan.

"boom!"

As the hot blue magma fire bar went down his stomach, an extremely violent force exploded directly in his body. The horrible burning sensation swept through his internal organs and all his meridians. Even though his body had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, it still seemed extremely fragile in the face of the strange fire.

Fortunately, Yao Yan possesses the blood of the Spiritual Clan's Dou Emperor in his body. The huge vitality begins to repair his damaged body, allowing Yao Yan to concentrate on enduring the outbreak of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire without having to worry about himself collapsing first.

"You're really overbearing!"

Yao Yan looked at the complex veins in his body that were becoming distorted by the outbreak of the strange fire, muttered something, and directly turned on the bath mode. He took out a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring from the ring, soaked himself in it, and used the power of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to suppress the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Compared with his own life, he would not feel the slightest bit of heartache even if all the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was consumed.

As the power of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring swept through his body, the violent Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in his body instantly calmed down a lot, and the cold energy even covered his hair with a layer of ice crystals.

At this moment, Yao Yan's soul force began to capture the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire that was running around in his body. Like a greedy snake, he controlled a wisp of original fire to swallow all the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire that was running around in his body. This also made the power of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire more violent, causing the surrounding Ice Spirit Cold Springs to be constantly annihilated, making gurgling sounds.

The pain could no longer disturb Yao Yan. He calmly watched the meridians in his body being destroyed and reborn.

Under the burning of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the body was being forged and reshaped. Even the bones were emitting a faint jade-colored halo, revealing an immortal charm, which permeated the flesh and made it stronger... (End of this chapter)
