Yao Lao had a natural affinity for Yao Yan, a member of the Yao clan who was also expelled from the clan. In addition, Han Feng, the traitor, was dealt with by him personally not long ago, so the empty part in his heart was naturally occupied by Yao Yan. For an old man who has lived for hundreds of years, it is an extremely satisfying thing to see his younger generations grow up.

At this moment, he has even planned Yao Yan's future path. After all, the Black Horn Region is too small. After he breaks through to the Dou Zong level and his body recovers, they still have to return to Zhongzhou.

After all, that is the core area of ​​the entire Douqi Continent. Whether it is the energy of heaven and earth or the resources for cultivation, it is incomparable to places like the Black Horn Region.

Think of this.

Yao Lao also looked at the Skyfire Venerable beside him and asked, "Skyfire, when your body recovers, what are your plans?"

"…I don't have any plans. Maybe I'll look around."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Skyfire was stunned, then he gave a bitter smile. His era was too far away from the present, and everything he was familiar with seemed to have vanished in the long river of time. No matter whether it was people or things, they were completely changed and there was no trace of their former selves left.

Yao Lao understood the mentality of Skyfire Venerable. After thinking for a while, he said softly, "If you have nowhere to go, you might as well come to the Xingyun Pavilion founded by me as a guest official... This kid is extremely talented, and his future growth will not be smooth sailing. He still needs us old guys to escort him. Who knows, we can also see the emergence of a Dou Sheng!"

"Fighting Saint...Okay!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in the eyes of Skyfire Venerable, and he agreed without thinking. Not to mention Yao Yan's life-saving grace, just the fact that Yao Yan inherited his Five Wheels Fire Separation Technique made him regard him as half of his disciple. If he could see the other party grow into a Fighting Saint... he felt excited just thinking about it.

Fighting Saint... that is the goal that countless Fighting Lords strive for their entire lives, but unfortunately, it is out of reach.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao smiled and promised, "Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. After all, I was an eighth-grade alchemist in my lifetime. After this disaster, I have gained some new insights into alchemy. Maybe I can become a ninth-grade master. If you need me to refine any elixir, I can satisfy you."

The strength of Xingyun Pavilion in Zhongzhou is not weak, and its leader is also his former friend of life and death. However, he had no intention of expanding his power in the past. Therefore, after Xingyun Pavilion grew to a certain extent, it maintained the status quo.

Now, after this series of events, Yao Lao's mentality has changed slightly.

After all, Yao Yan's identity is special. Once his reputation rises in Zhongzhou, he may attract the attention of the Yao Clan. At that time, it is unknown how the Yao Clan will react, and it is also unknown whether Yao Yan's mysterious master can suppress all these things. If not, it may be a bit troublesome.

However, given the pride of the Yao Clan, they shouldn't go to great lengths for Yao Yan... If it really doesn't work, perhaps they will have no choice but to join Danta.

If Yao Lao remembered correctly, there were several legitimate daughters among the major families in Danta, and they might be able to choose a few families for Yao Yan to marry into. With Yao Yan's talent, this matter would have almost no trouble. And with the support of several major families, it would become easier for Yao Yan to seize the Three Thousand Flames in the future.

It has to be said that when people get older, they tend to think more, especially planning things for their younger generations. This is almost instinctive.

"You have lost your physical body for so many years, does Xingyun Pavilion still exist?" Venerable Tianhuo asked a question out of the blue.

"Before I got into trouble, Xingyun Pavilion had been managed by a close friend of mine, and even the position of Pavilion Master fell to him. In fact, I didn't like to manage power back then, and I liked to be alone, so I offended some people... But in the future, maybe I have to change. After all, one person is no match for a power!"

Yao Lao said slowly, and the figures of old man Mu Gu and Han Feng inexplicably appeared in his mind.

The experiences of the last hundred years have brought about a great change in his mentality.

At this moment, the sky outside was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and an abnormal energy wave emerged from the secret room, causing the clouds in the sky to become darker and darker. Thunder rolled inside, like countless thunder dragons roaring and raging, and the roar resounded through the world.

"boom!"

The silver lightning was darting around like a snarling snake, with a terrifying destructive force rising and gestating in it, as if something forbidden was about to appear.

Seeing this scene, Yao Lao and Tianhuo Zun both had their expressions slightly changed. Both of them were once Dou Zun-level figures, so how could they not know what this thunder tribulation in front of them meant.

Yao Lao said in a deep voice: "Thunderbolts usually only occur when refining high-quality elixirs. In addition, when some legendary monsters are born or promoted, they will also cause changes in the world and even trigger thunderbolts... Could it be that Queen Medusa has promoted?"

The moment he finished speaking, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Logically speaking, the only way for Queen Medusa's clan to advance is by burning their old bodies with strange fire. The process is a life-and-death struggle, and only a few people can survive it. In addition, they need to make sufficient preparations during the process, and it is impossible to complete the evolution in a hurry.

Besides, there shouldn't be such a condition in the secret room... Has Yao Yan's trouble been solved? !

"boom!"

Soon, a huge roar sounded, and in an instant, the sky and the earth were bright, and a huge silver thunderbolt shot down from the clouds, directly penetrated the mountain and sank into the secret room.

The next moment, a ray of emerald green fire shot up into the sky, suddenly replacing the power of thunder, rising into the sky against the thunderbolt, and then exploded in mid-air, turning into a light blue energy mist, drifting around.

"Click~"

The door of the secret room that had been closed for a long time finally opened slowly, and then a slender figure walked out slowly from it, with green flames lingering around his body, long hair hanging down wantonly, his face was handsome and resolute, his eyes were as black as ink, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

Compared to before the retreat, Yao Yan now seems to be much more mature, and even his eyes have become calmer.

"Success?"

Yao Lao looked at the emerald green flames lingering around Yao Yan, his tone becoming a little more excited, and he asked with some anticipation.

It's incredible that the Burning Technique can actually blend the two kinds of strange fire perfectly!

"kindness."

Yao Yan nodded, and immediately extinguished the flames around him. The smile on his face became even more intense. He clenched his fists, feeling the fighting spirit in his body that was a hundred times stronger. A feeling of exhilaration surged in his heart. This time, by swallowing the Fallen Heart Flame, he gained a lot, both in terms of strength and other things.

Similarly, Cai Lin also gained a lot. With Yao Yan's full support, she also successfully transformed. The Sky-Swallowing Python bloodline in her body was completely revived, and now it has evolved successfully.

"Squeak~" accompanied by a slight sound, a tiny snake poked its head out from between Yao Yan's hair.

This is a slender little snake that is only about two centimeters long. It is covered with tiny colorful scales all over its body. It emits a faint colorful halo all over its body. Its light purple snake pupils have a faint sense of weirdness. Its body exudes a strange and fresh fragrance, revealing a sense of elegance and dignity.

"Is this a successful evolution?!" Yao Lao said in disbelief when he saw the little snake appear.

"Its body is colorful, its pupils are slightly purple, its body is fragrant, and its power reaches the sky... Is this the ancient strange beast, the Sky-Swallowing Python?!" Skyfire Venerable directly called out the identity of the little snake, and his tone was a little more excited, because as long as the Sky-Swallowing Python did not die halfway, its promotion to the ninth-rank magical beast was a foregone conclusion.

The Sky-Swallowing Python transformed by Cai Lin was so scared when he heard the two old guys yelling that he shrank his head.

Yao Yan raised his hand and touched her, trying to comfort her. He then explained softly, "There were some disturbances during this period, but fortunately everything went smoothly... However, the evolution also exhausted Cai Lin's energy and spirit. She will probably have to sleep for a while to recover her lost strength."

"The advancement of Warcraft has always been accompanied by great risks, especially things related to bloodline evolution, the risks are even greater. But now that she has evolved successfully, the most difficult hurdle has passed, and she just needs to wait for it to recover." Yao Lao nodded and said softly.

Venerable Skyfire remained silent, staring at the Sky-Swallowing Python with curiosity. He did not expect that this strange beast, which had become extinct in his time, would appear again. It was truly incredible.

"How do you feel?" Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan and asked.

"The Burning Technique has evolved to the middle level of the Earth Rank. My strength is currently at the peak of the Douhuang Four-Star Rank. I can move up to the Five-Star Rank later. However, my strength has increased too quickly in the past year. I plan to hone my skills for a while, and then devour the Sea Heart Flame and your Bone Spirit Cold Fire. By then, I should be able to upgrade the Burning Technique to the Quasi-Heaven Rank. As for the Heaven Rank... it depends on my luck."

Yao Yan said softly. He did not have the delusion of upgrading the Burning Decree directly to the Heavenly Rank. The Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Sea Heart Flame were a little bit inferior. If he wanted to truly enter the Heavenly Rank, he would have to look at the top ten strange fires.

“It really takes some time to polish it.”

Yao Lao stroked his white beard and agreed with Yao Yan's words, because the strength of this boy in front of him increased too fast. In less than a year, he had already completed the journey that ordinary people would take decades to complete. It was estimated that not much of the fighting spirit in his body was cultivated by himself.

Fortunately, with the help of the strange fire, it is not a big deal.

His tone was a little more serious at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "It's no big problem for Dou Wang and Dou Huang to improve faster, but when entering the Dou Zong level, you'd better rely on yourself, because the process of breaking into the Dou Zong level is extremely mysterious. During this period, you can feel the power of space. It's best not to rely on external objects to break through, otherwise there will be big problems!"

Yao Yan listened to the advice very well. He nodded slightly, then raised his hand, indicating that the two elders could return to the Bone Inflammation Ring to recuperate. The two elders had consumed a lot of their spiritual power in protecting him during this period of time.

"It's finally time to take a break, kid. With your current strength, no one in the entire Black Horn Region should be able to cause you trouble except for those old monsters." Yao Lao smiled, and turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated towards the Bone Flame Ring, followed closely by Skyfire Venerable.

"I have to cause some trouble for them, otherwise where can we find the physical bodies of you two elders?" Yao Yan smiled slightly and said softly.

"It's a pity that my skeleton has lost all its essence, otherwise..."

Venerable Tianhuo said with some regret that if he could use his own body to recover, it would definitely be more comfortable than using someone else's, at least he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

"You've lost your physical body for so many years. If you're a Dou Sheng, there's still hope, but you should forget about Dou Zun..."

"Too……"

As the voices of the two people's casual chat gradually faded away, Yao Yan also raised his head and took out a bottle of companion purple crystal source from the ring and handed it over. The Sky-Swallowing Python transformed by Cai Lin instantly flew over and began to eat the food happily, with its little head directly sticking into the mouth of the bottle.

"Tsk, what a pity there is no camera, otherwise I would have taken a picture. It would have been quite interesting to tease Cai Lin later." Yao Yan muttered in a very sinister way, and then put the little guy on his shoulder. The wings of fighting spirit emerged behind him, and the whole person turned into a stream of light and flew towards Heiyin City.

The place where he was in seclusion was not far from Black Seal City. It took him about half an hour to reach Black Seal City.

Today, Black Seal City is still very prosperous. Since the end of the auction more than half a year ago, Black Seal City has become one of the safest towns in the Black Horn Region. Many people have flocked there to seek refuge. The Black Horn Region has become increasingly turbulent in recent times, and the Canaan Academy has even gone to war with several forces in the Black Horn Region. During that time, it even went so far as to directly massacre several forces, causing panic among the people of the Black Horn Region.

No one expected that Canaan Academy would be so fierce, even the Demon Flame Valley could not withstand it.

At this moment, in the hall of Black Seal City.

Yuan Yi was respectfully reporting the latest intelligence to Yao Yan, while secretly glancing at the young man in front of him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to become more and more unfathomable, and even his temperament had changed greatly. As for his face... he was wearing a mask on his face, so he couldn't see it for a while.

But there seemed to be an extra pet in the other person's arms, a colorful little snake?

Is there such a breed in World of Warcraft?
Is it just a little toy?

Yuan Yi didn't dare to look any longer. He lowered his head and reported everything, then patiently waited for Yao Yan's order.

"The ancestor of the Demon Flame Valley was severely injured by the elders of Canaan College? Is this news accurate?" Yao Yan asked Yuan Yi for confirmation while feeding Cai Lin. When he first came to the Black Horn Region, he planned to take action against the Demon Flame Valley, but his strength was not guaranteed at that time. Now he doesn't have this problem.

Although he currently only has the strength of a four-star Dou Huang, if he adds his physical and soul power, he may be able to deal with a five or six-star Dou Zong.

Even if forced into a corner, the fire lotus formed by the fusion of four kinds of strange fire would be enough to severely damage the opponent.

"That's right. A lot of people saw that battle... No one expected that the elder of Canaan College was so strong. He was severely injured in one fight and even had one arm torn off." Yuan Yi swallowed and said with a little fear in his tone.

Few people in the Black Horn Region could have imagined that Canaan Academy could be so powerful, and that there was even such a big boss hidden within it.

The ancestor of the Demon Flame Valley is also a high-level Dou Zong!

It's so vulnerable.

So terrifying. (End of this chapter)
