Chapter 161 Cloud Movement
More than half a month was enough time for Yao Yan to sort out the expanding Dou Qi in his body. With his spiritual realm-level soul power, it was undoubtedly an extremely easy task for him to control the Dou Qi at the Dou King level. Moreover, his body had been transformed by Hunxuzi, and with the nourishment of his Vajra Indestructible Body and the essence and blood of several major imperial clans over the years, he had already surpassed the scope of an ordinary Dou King. He did not have to worry about the hidden dangers brought about by rapid promotion.

In other words, Yaoyan's water bucket is large enough and made of strong enough material to accommodate a large amount of 'water flow' from the outside without having to worry about it exploding.

As the medicinal effect of the Douling Pill was completely absorbed into his limbs and bones, Yao Yan's slightly closed eyes slowly opened. A ray of green light flowed deep in his eyes. He was a little hesitant because he found that the medicinal power of one Douling Pill was not enough to increase his strength to a nine-star Dou Wang.

The gap between the eight-star Dou Wang and the peak nine-star Dou Wang is far more exaggerated than the star level before Dou Wang.

The Dou Qi in Yao Yan's body is much stronger than that of a Dou Wang of the same level. The cultivation resources required for a breakthrough will naturally increase. He was silent for a while and took out an Huangji Pill from the Bone Inflammation Ring in his arms. Compared with the Dou Ling Pill, the medicinal power of the Huangji Pill is undoubtedly several times stronger. It is specially used to enhance the strength of the Dou Huang.

Taking one pill is enough to instantly increase the Dou Huang's strength by one star, and even more so, it can increase it by two stars. The medicinal power contained in it also has the effect of tempering the body, which can slightly improve the qualifications.

Many practitioners at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Wang level, when there is no hope of a breakthrough, will try to break through to the Dou Huang level by swallowing the Huangji Pill. However, the risk is extremely high. If one is not careful, one's own strength may decline, or even the meridians may be damaged. This shows how overbearing the medicinal power of the Huangji Pill is.

However, this domineering power obviously does not exist in front of Yao Yan. No matter how strong the medicinal power is, it can never be stronger than the evil poison spots in Yao Yan's body.

After all, this thing has gathered the poisonous fighting spirit of a half-step Dou Zong throughout his life.

But it still couldn't shake Yao Yan's body at all.

In comparison, what is a Huangji Pill?

Yao Yan's eyes flickered, and he flicked his fingers, throwing the Huangji Pill, which was slightly purple, into his mouth. As his Adam's apple rolled, it slid down the pill. As it was wrapped by the Qinglian Earth Core Fire in his body, the tremendous medicinal power contained in the Huangji Pill surged out instantly, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, trying to run on the prairie.

However, this wantonness and frenzy soon became submissive under the suppression of Yao Yan's spiritual soul, just like a young wife. Wrapped in the fighting spirit, it slowly flowed along the operation route of the Burning Decision, nourishing his body and fighting spirit with warmth.

As the Huangji Pill replenished energy, the gap between eight stars and nine stars was quickly smoothed out. At the same time, the aura emitted by Yao Yan became stronger and stronger. The clothes around him moved without wind, and his cuffs bulged slightly. If it were not for the isolation of soul power, the outside world would definitely be able to feel this powerful aura at this moment.

At this moment, the aura exuded by Yao Yan was not like that of a Dou Wang at all, but rather like that of an ancient ferocious beast. With every breath, milky white energy mist lingered from his mouth and nose, continuously pouring into his body until all the energy in the house was sucked dry.

But Yaoyan's body was like a bottomless pit, plundering everything madly. Because of the isolation of soul power, the energy from the outside world could not flow in. Naturally, it could only be supplemented by the energy of the Huangji Pill and the Demonic Poison Spot to nourish the growth of this body.

I don’t know how long this kind of practice lasted.

When Yao Yan opened his eyes again, the room was already pitch black and even the air had become much thinner. He knew that this was due to his full concentration on cultivation. In order not to alarm people outside, he could only isolate the room from the outside world. If it weren't for the support of the magic poison spots in his body, he wouldn't be able to do such a fancy move.

The so-called cultivation, after all, is to plunder energy from the heaven and earth, thereby strengthening oneself, transforming one's acquired nature into innate nature, until one transcends this heaven and earth.

However, it is easier said than done.

It is a joke for a creature born from a heaven and earth to want to transcend this heaven and earth. And if one wants to turn the joke into reality, the price to pay will be quite terrible.

No matter which world it is, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it.

"Nine-star Dou Wang...not bad~" Yao Yan stood up from the soft couch, closed his eyes and felt the Dou Qi in his body that had expanded several times. He clenched his fists, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He was obviously quite satisfied with his current condition. As for the Dou Qi in his body that had become a little weak due to rapid advancement, he was not worried at all.

Since you have chosen to practice the Burning Technique, you must naturally take a path that best suits it and maximize its capabilities.

The most significant feature of the Burning Decree is that it devours the strange fire and merges it with the practitioner. During this process, the body will inevitably be tempered by the power of the strange fire. Whether it is the soul, body or fighting spirit, they will become more powerful under the tempering of the strange fire.

Now that we know about this process, we should naturally make good use of it and save ourselves the effort of practicing and polishing it.

Of course, the prerequisite for achieving this is to have a body and soul power as strong as Yao Yan. The three elements of essence, energy and spirit complement each other. Without sufficient soul power and body, one cannot withstand such torture.

Yao Yan did not leave the house immediately. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and gradually removed the blockades around him to allow the energy from the outside world to pour in. He handled the process very delicately and subtly, without alarming anyone outside. As for Han Feng... he had to have the courage to peek.

After finishing all this, he pushed the door open and walked out. The two elders, Jin and Yin, were still guarding the door and did not leave. During his retreat, they did not leave even a step.

Ever since they witnessed how Yao Yan threatened Han Feng, the two of them are now quite "loyal" to Yao Yan.

"It seems that the master has gained a lot from his retreat this time." Old Jin stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Elder Yin had a cold gaze and was wearing a mask, so outsiders could not tell his emotional changes at all. This was also one of the characteristics of Elders Jin and Yin.

"It's okay~" Yao Yan responded, and scanned the City Lord's Mansion with his soul power, but did not find any trace of Han Feng.

He was not surprised by this, because the date he gave to Han Feng was getting closer and closer. If it were him, he would not dare to stop for the moment. Perhaps it was the "memories" that reminded him of the days when he was an apprentice to Hunxuzi. The other party's cramming-style education did not care whether he could remember or learn. At that time, Yao Yan was very afraid that he would be crushed to death by the other party, so he could only study hard!

Death is always with me~
It was Hunxuzi who once gave him a sense of oppression, and now it was Yaoyan's turn to give others this feeling.

"What has happened in the last few days?"

Yao Yan asked. He had been in seclusion for about seven days and had no contact with the outside world during that time. He didn't know what Han Feng had done or who he had contacted during that time. However, he had some guesses in his heart, because there were not many forces in the entire Black Horn Region that were qualified to compete with Canaan Academy.

As for the Soul Palace's guardians...those guys never do anything without a profit. When have you ever seen them charge into battle?
In contrast, the elders of the Soul Palace are more courageous~
"He recently contacted people from the Demon Flame Valley. Two days ago, two Dou Huangs from the Demon Flame Valley came to Fengcheng and wanted to pay a visit to the Lord." Old Jin lowered his head and recounted the recent events in detail. However, most of them were only one-sided news, and he obviously had no way of knowing the specific content.

After all, Han Feng was forced by Yao Yan to do these things, so how could he be willing to do them? "The Demon Flame Valley... As expected, they found us." Yao Yan was happy. When he was in Black Seal City, he investigated the forces in the entire Black Horn Region. Excluding those old guys who were hiding very deeply, the only one that could be ranked was the Demon Flame Valley. As for the other forces, they were all a level lower.

The history of Demon Flame Valley can be traced back to the time when Canaan College was founded. It is said that the owner of the valley had many dealings with Canaan College and the two sides even had hatred.

If it were Yao Yan or Han Feng, they would probably choose the Demon Flame Valley.

Besides, Yao Yan had done so much before just to draw everyone's attention... Apparently the effect was good. Han Feng joined the game as he wished. Once he led out the people from the Demon Flame Valley, it would be time for this big show to begin.

"Did he say when he would start?" Yao Yan asked after pondering for a moment.

The two elders, Jin and Yin, both shook their heads. They were guards and did not participate much in other matters except Yao Yan's safety. The only thing they knew was that Han Feng had united several forces including the Demon Flame Valley and was preparing to take action against Canaan Academy.

This matter seemed a bit absurd before, but no one knew what price Han Feng promised that made them all agree.

"It should be before the end of the month." Mr. Jin said nonsense.

Yao Yan smiled upon hearing this and whispered, "It's not that smooth..."

Han Feng today is far from having the prestige he had in the later period. There is no comparison between a Medicine Emperor with the strength of a two-star Dou Huang and a Medicine Emperor at the half-step Dou Zong level. However, Han Feng's strength is indeed good. With his current strength of a two-star Dou Huang, ordinary high-level Dou Huangs may not be able to defeat him. This shows how much effort Yao Chen spent on him back then.

However, most of this effort was wasted, otherwise he would not be still at the Douhuang level.

The Douhuang might be a big shot in the Jia Ma Empire, but in Zhongzhou, the Douhuang is not even on the same level.

"I hope Han Feng can give me a surprise."

Yao Yan was actually looking forward to it, but at the same time, he was also curious about when the people from the Soul Palace would come to him. Would those people really not be interested in an alchemist with a spiritual realm soul?
……

Yao Yan's guess was right. Han Feng was having a headache now because he was able to win over so many forces, many of which relied on Yao Yan's name. The name of a seventh-grade alchemist was undoubtedly more famous than his as a sixth-grade alchemist. However, he was just taking advantage of the power of another to bully others without getting Yao Yan's consent.

But as the agreed deadline at the end of the month was getting closer, he had no choice but to take a risky move.

Only by finding the strange fire hidden in Canaan College can Han Feng be sure to bring Yao Yan into the water. Otherwise, this mysterious old guy will keep hiding in Fengcheng, and he will have no way to add fuel to the fire, let alone get everyone to encircle and suppress a seventh-grade alchemist.

If the news of the unprovoked siege of a seventh-grade alchemist were to spread, every one of the people involved would be put on a bounty by other alchemists, and by then, countless strong people would be willing to help.

Again.

Some things can be done secretly and no one will cause you trouble, but once they are brought into the open, you have to consider your own abilities to see if you can handle it.

at the same time.

The atmosphere in Black Seal City is also quite strange.

Yao Yan took the two elders, Jin and Yin, and never returned. At the same time, Han Feng frequently traveled between various forces. In the end, he even invited the old force of Demon Flame Valley to gather a group of people and prepared to take action against Canaan Academy. When these news reached Yao Lao's ears, his face naturally became solemn.

Because so many forces and strong people are involved, Yao Lao doesn't think he can finally hold back. Not to mention those far away, just those old guys hiding in Canaan Academy are enough to give him a headache.

Yao Lao, who only has a soul, is not sure he can deal with those high-level Dou Zong beings.

"Should we follow him?" Cai Lin's eyes flickered as she asked Yao Lao, who was stroking his beard beside her. At this moment, she inexplicably had a feeling that Yao Yan seemed to have deliberately abandoned her in Heiyin City in order to leave her behind and work on his own.

"He doesn't seem to want us to follow."

Yao Lao also felt this, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't know whether Yao Yan had any other plans or simply didn't want to put them in danger.

The time I have been in contact with the other party is not long, but it is not short either. He does not seem to be a heartless and ungrateful person.

This can be seen from the other party's contact with Cai Lin and Cai Die.

However, it seems hard to say how loyal and righteous the other party is.

Mr. Yao felt that Yao Yan was wearing a mask on his face, which made him look not that real... That's not right, the boy seemed to reveal some sincerity occasionally when facing Caidie, and even revealed some youthful emotions when joking with Cai Lin occasionally.

"Why should we listen to him about where we are going?" Cai Lin snorted coldly and stood up suddenly, intending to join in and see. With her strength, as long as she didn't encounter any existence above the two-star Dou Zong, she would have no problem protecting herself. She believed that she would not cause trouble for Yao Yan.

After all, there are only so many Dou Zong in the entire Black Horn Region~
What's more, there is the old guy Yao Lao following him. If any accident really happens, Yao Lao's strength is enough to ensure that Yao Yan will be safe.

Of course, she did not reveal the slightest bit of this little thought. The queen's aura also put a mask on her, making it impossible to see her tenderness underneath the mask. In this respect, she was completely different from Caidie's daring love and hate character. The two sisters were sometimes like a mirror, and could see each other.

Yao Lao was silent for a while, then nodded. He also wanted to see Yao Yan’s purpose.
