Shengdan City is located in the most central location of Dan Domain. Its scale is far larger than any city Yao Yan has ever seen. Even if he is ten thousand meters in the air, he can feel the grandeur of this city. It stretches for more than a thousand miles. It is hard to imagine that a city can be built so huge.
In the center of this huge city, there stands a black tower that reaches into the clouds. Its majestic presence is enough to make anyone feel insignificant.
"Wow, it's so big!" Zi Yan lay on the side of the boat, her eyes wide open and she exclaimed.
"It's spectacular, isn't it? When I first came here, I was just like you. This city has undergone thousands of years of expansion and is now comparable to some countries." Yao Lao looked at the familiar city in front of him and said softly to Yao Yan.
Yao Yan nodded. He was also somewhat surprised by Danta's generosity, but the scale in front of him was obviously normal. Danta was located in the core area of Zhongzhou, and it was itself a top-notch force that gathered the top alchemists in the Douqi Continent. It was normal for countless people to flock to it.
Therefore, Danta established several space pivots in the outer domain as transfer stations to facilitate the huge flow of people.
"Xuan Yi, you arrange them. I still have to go and take a look. The Three Thousand Flames of Fire have been quite unstable recently." Xuan Kongzi said softly, then looked at Yao Lao and Tianhuo Zun, nodded slightly, and then disappeared from the spot without emitting any spatial ripples, as if he had already merged with the space.
His delicate control over the power of space far exceeds that of Skyfire Venerable, which shows that his strength is unfathomable.
"Let's go directly to the Dan Realm. I'm sure you don't want too many old friends to see you in your current state." Xuan Yi looked at Yao Lao gently and said considerately.
"I'll listen to you." Yao Lao said softly.
Xuan Yi smiled, and her face weathered by the years seemed to become much younger at that moment. Love is always the most nourishing thing for a woman.
As Xuanyi controlled it, the space around the spaceship passed by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye it had moved from an altitude of ten thousand meters to the center of Shengdan City. At the same time, the huge black tower was also within reach.
A sense of time and heaviness comes over me.
"Let's go."
Xuan Yi said this softly, and then led everyone directly into the black tower.
As one of the three giants of Danta today, she naturally has the power to control the Black Tower. The black tower in front of her is not as simple as it appears on the outside. Its interior has long been transformed by a Dou Sheng master and turned into a small world with abundant energy from heaven and earth.
This small world is the real core of Danta, the Dan Realm!
Only the seventh-grade alchemists recognized by Danta are qualified to enter.
"It's worthy of being called Danta." Yao Yan took in everything along the way and thought to himself.
In the Dou Zong stage, one comprehends the power of space; in the Dou Zun stage, one uses the power of space... and in the Dou Sheng stage, one plays with the power of space. When one reaches the Dou Sheng level, the power of space can be condensed at will, and it is extremely easy to create a small world.
"Yao Yan, don't use your soul power to sense your surroundings. There are many people in seclusion here. It would be impolite if you use your soul power to sense at will and disturb them." Xuan Yi reminded softly.
As she spoke, she glanced at Yao Lao with a smile in her eyes. It was obvious that Yao Lao had done such an impolite thing in his past.
Yao Lao said helplessly: "You still remember~"
"I'll always remember your story."
Xuan Yi nodded slightly and expressed his feelings softly.
Yao Lao seemed to remember something when he heard this. A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes, and he said slowly: "...After escaping for so many years, I finally came back."
He looked at the plants and trees in front of him with complicated eyes. The old Yao Lao had spent the happiest years in Danta. He had a master who treated him like his own son and countless pill recipes for him to study...
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Xuan Yi asked softly with gentle eyes.
Yao Lao nodded.
He then raised his hand and waved it lightly. Ripples like water waves appeared in the surrounding space. Within a few breaths, everyone came to a sea of flowers. Countless precious herbs were scattered all over the place. If you look closely, you will find that this sea of flowers is actually made up of countless rare medicinal materials.
Medicinal herbs that are rarely seen in the outside world are growing well here like cabbages.
Yao Lao's soul bowed respectfully to the 'sea of flowers', his eyes filled with reminiscence, and he whispered, "Teacher, I'm back."
Yao Yan touched Zi Yan's little head and told her to stop making noise and stand quietly aside. He knew that Yao Lao's former teacher was from Danta, but he died in order to protect Yao Chen in the end. This matter also had a lot to do with old man Mu Gu.
Speaking of which, Yao Lao's life is really bad. He always encounters some traitors.
He was deceived by Yao Wangui in the Yao clan.
In Danta, he was betrayed by his fellow disciples.
He adopted Han Feng, but was cheated by Han Feng.
It seems as if his whole life has been spent in betrayal and deception. Only this old guy has an open-minded and free-spirited temperament. If it were anyone else, they would probably have gone crazy.
Soon, Yao Yan thought of himself. He wondered what Yao Lao would think if he knew his true identity in the future... Unfortunately, he had no choice. Living in such a broken world, being weak was the original sin.
The breeze was blowing gently, and the sea of flowers was swaying, as if responding to Yao Lao.
He stood there for a long time before slowly turning around.
"Let's go." The moment Yao Lao turned around, he had returned to normal. He remembered his teacher, but would not indulge in the sadness of the past, because life had to go on, along with the expectations of the dead.
……
……
After paying homage to Yao Lao's teacher, everyone followed Xuan Yi to a secluded courtyard, surrounded by bamboo forests. It was obvious that this was Xuan Yi's own courtyard.
"Give me the list of missing herbs and items, and I'll get them for you." Xuan Yi was obviously not the type to be fussy. After she had settled everyone, she looked at Yao Lao and asked.
Yao Lao didn't say anything pretentious, and said directly: "Yao Yan has four kinds of strange fire in his body, and he can use them freely, so the method of resurrection is to use the method of tempering with strange fire."
There are many methods of resurrection in Danta, most of which use elixirs and physical bodies to revive the soul. This method of resurrection has too many flaws, which need to be made up for by oneself later, and there are many sequelae. Even if resurrected, the strength cannot be restored to the peak state, let alone seeking a breakthrough.
Yao Lao had studied these things in the past, and later after obtaining the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he was inspired and created a method of perfect resurrection using the three kinds of strange fire.
In terms of talent and ability in alchemy, Yao Lao is definitely one of the best in the Douqi Continent.
All he lacks is a great power.
After all, the profession of alchemist requires a large amount of medicinal materials and pill recipes. It is impossible for one to withstand such consumption alone, not to mention the need for practice.
"The original plan was to use a Dou Zong's body as a carrier, the essence and blood of a seventh-level magic beast and the seventh-grade peak bone-growing and blood-melting pill to revive the vitality, and finally to temper it with three kinds of strange fire to achieve a perfect fit between the body and the soul..." Yao Lao said hesitantly.
Xuan Yihao said inhumanely: "There are some Dou Sheng bones and ninth-level magic beast essence blood. As for the seventh-level peak bone-melting blood pill...use the eighth-level peak life and death pill to replace it. Since you want to use this to break through that level, then do everything to the extreme...I will find a way to use the heavenly level skills!"
As the words fell, Venerable Tianhuo couldn't help but pinch himself, looking at the old man Yao Lao with a slightly envious look. He suddenly wanted to be a gigolo, but he had no interest in women back then... and there was no such rich woman who would fancy him.
Being good-looking does have its advantages... Yao Yan touched his handsome and flawless face, and suddenly he felt that he might be able to do the same. Then he thought of Xiao Yan. In the original novel, he was the richest gigolo in the Dou Qi Continent.
Even if Xiao Yan had not met Yao Lao, he would probably have been able to grow up.
It really doesn't work. When Gu Xun'er grows up to the Dou Sheng stage, will she let her 'brother Xiao Yan' continue to be miserable?
By then, even those old guys from the ancient clan probably won’t be able to stop it.
When he thought about Gu Xun'er making that old guy Gu Yuan drop gold coins, he felt inexplicably amused.
Yao Yan watched the show with great interest, but Yao Lao on the side felt a little embarrassed. He could persuade Yao Yan to eat the gigolo thing, but it felt really uncomfortable for him to eat it himself in front of Yao Yan, a junior. Men all have some backbone, especially old men.
“…Isn’t that a bit too much?”
"This was originally my share in Danta. I just took it out in advance. You can return it to me when you break through to the Douluo level in the future." Xuan Yi did not allow Yao Lao to refuse and said directly. Then his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving Yao Lao alone with a bitter smile in silence.
Unfortunately, the voices of an old man, a young man and a little girl were heard from the side.
"Why didn't I have a confidante back then?" said Venerable Tianhuo with a look of envy.
"It's so nice to be a gigolo." Yao Yan said seriously.
"Brother, what is a gigolo?!"
Zi Yan blinked her big eyes and stared at Yao Yan cutely with a look of curiosity.
"Just like Aunt Xuan, she has money, and most importantly, she is willing to spend it on her man." Yao Yanshan taught like a teacher.
"When I have money in the future, I will give it to big brother!" Zi Yan patted her chest with loyalty and said seriously. To her, Yao Yan was a relative, and what belonged to her was Yao Yan's.
Yao Lao swept these guys who were watching the show, his beard almost blew off, and he said unhappily: "Who am I doing this for?"
If it wasn't for Yaoyan, why would he come to Danta.
"But this is not bad~" Yao Yan said with a smile. He felt that this path was more suitable for Yao Lao than the path in the original book. And with Danta, he didn't need to worry about anything happening to the old man even if they really fell out one day.
As his strength and vision grew, Yao Yan gradually discovered the specialness of Danta. Its existence might not only be due to the old ancestor of that year, but also had the tacit approval of several major imperial clans.
The Soul Palace needs a force to check and balance it, and Danta is undoubtedly the most suitable.
The Soul Palace can be contained without the need for any personnel from the major imperial clans. This deal is obviously acceptable to the major imperial clans.
"Boy, remember, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay..." Yao Lao sighed lightly and said in a serious tone.
But I am from the Soul Clan.
Yao Yan muttered in his heart, the Hun Clan never cares about favors. Since the favor cannot be repaid, just kill him. His master Hun Xuzi did just that. He even killed his own teacher.
It’s an old tradition.
……
……
Jia Ma Empire, Utan City.
Xiao family.
In the silent night, only the occasional chirping of insects can be heard.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared in the backyard. He looked around and made sure that no one was there. Then he sneaked into the yard. With a pair of bright eyes, he was a little hesitant. He whispered to himself, "If I get caught, will I be considered a pervert?"
Then he thought of his current age and suddenly calmed down. He was no longer a big brother in his twenties, but now just a boy less than ten years old.
"It's okay. I'm also trying to help sister Xun'er. She was abandoned in our Xiao family by her family. She must be feeling very uncomfortable. Her body is still so weak... I hope my third level of fighting spirit can help her."
He has been in this world for so many years, how could he not be interested in fighting spirit? Now that he has been refining it for several years, he has learned a lot and can also feel the nourishment of fighting spirit on his body. According to his father, fighting spirit at the fighting spirit stage is extremely gentle and has the best effect in nourishing the body.
Xiao Xun'er's body is so weak. If she could be nurtured with the fighting spirit, perhaps her pain could be alleviated and she wouldn't be so unsociable and stay alone.
Xiao Yan liked this cute little girl very much, so he decided to give this lonely little girl a little help, at least to prevent her from being bullied.
Think of this.
He walked towards Xiao Xun'er's room.
"Brush~"
Following an invisible ripple in space, a woman in a black robe appeared beside Xiao Yan. She stood clearly beside him, but Xiao Yan could not sense anything and still sneaked into Xiao Xun'er's room. Then, under the gaze of the woman, he clumsily condensed his fighting spirit in his palm and stretched out his palm towards Xun'er.
"Om~"
An invisible soul force vibrated out instantly, and then Xiao Yan's eyes became dull. Like a fool, he waved his hands and groped in the air.
At this moment, Gu Xun'er in the room also woke up. She looked at Xiao Yan waving his hands in front of her with fear, and was a little at a loss.
After all, it was late at night, and a dark shadow waving his hands appeared beside the bed. The scene was too scary for a little girl.
Fortunately, she reacted after a while and recognized the person. At the same time, she found that the other party was controlled, so she stretched out her hand and waved at Xiao Yan. When she found that the other party could not see her, she frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Auntie Hua, why did Xiao Yan appear in my room?"
She was stunned at first because of instinctive fear, but now that she has come to her senses, she knows that the other party is controlled by Aunt Hua. With the protection of Aunt Hua, a powerful Dou Zun, she obviously does not need to worry about any safety issues.
"This little guy seems to want to warm the young lady's body." A gentle voice sounded in Gu Xun'er's ears.
Gu Xun'er tilted her head, looked at Xiao Yan, and said in disbelief: "He is warming my body?"
"He seems to want to use the three stages of fighting spirit in his body to nourish the young lady."
Gu Xun'er was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Aunt Hua's voice was still gentle: "Miss, do you need me to deal with him?"
Gu Xun'er shook her head and said slowly, "No, he has no bad intentions and he takes good care of me... Daddy asked you to come here to protect me, not to kill people indiscriminately."
"Ok."
Immediately, under Gu Xun'er's gaze, Xiao Yan clumsily used up all his fighting spirit and walked out weakly.
Gu Xun'er watched Xiao Yan leave, and then said with a headache: "Why are all the Xiao family members fools?"
She used to think that Xiao Yan was a little special. Standing next to people of the same age, he looked much more mature. But now, looking at him coming to warm her body, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She just felt that Xiao Yan was a fool.
What can the three stages of fighting spirit do? (End of this chapter)
