As Yao Yan expected, his identity as an eighth-grade senior alchemist caused quite a stir within the Soul Clan, because there were not many eighth-grade senior alchemists within the Soul Clan, and most of these people were outsiders, not members of the Soul Clan, and many of them were even controlled 'puppets' without any prospects for advancement.

They were all high-level alchemists captured by the Soul Palace. Some of them chose to join the Soul Clan and gained some freedom, while the other part were stubborn and did not want to go along with the Soul Clan, so they were made into puppets specializing in alchemy and completely lost their freedom.

therefore.

In such a large Soul Clan, the only high-level alchemist that can be considered outstanding is Hun Xuzi.

But now this situation has changed. Hunxuzi's disciple, the young patriarch of the Hun clan, has reached the level of an eighth-grade advanced alchemist at a young age. Given Yao Yan's age and talent, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a ninth-grade alchemy master.

As for the resources needed for growth, the Soul Clan has no shortage of them.

As the news spread throughout the Soul Clan, the two words "Hun Yan" were also imprinted in the hearts of many people. At the same time, a large number of Soul Clan Dou Zuns who came to ask for elixirs also entered Hun Xuzi's mansion one after another to visit Yao Yan. Among them, many were city lords who governed a city in the Soul Realm. Their status was much higher than that of ordinary Dou Zuns, and the gifts they brought out were also quite precious.

Yao Yan accepted all of these people's requests for alchemy. In just a few days, he collected the recipes for dozens of eighth-grade high-level elixirs, as well as countless precious medicinal materials.

Let Yaoyan become rich overnight.

According to the recognized rules of alchemists, people who want to get pills need to prepare more than three sets of alchemy materials. And these Soul Clan City Lords are all old-fashioned Dou Zun who have lived for nearly a thousand years. They have rich family backgrounds, so they naturally will not offend Yao Yan over this matter. Some even prepare more than five sets of alchemy materials and let Yao Yan refine them, and it doesn't matter if they fail, as a way to make friends with him.

“Young master, why do you take on such a hard job? The Soul Clan has many alchemists who specialize in refining eighth-grade advanced elixirs. Just let them do the work~” Tianzihuo circled around Yao Yan, with a hint of confusion and doubt in his big eyes.

"This is not a chore for me. On the contrary, it is also a form of cultivation. Whether it is for honing fighting spirit or training soul power, it has great benefits." Yao Yan answered Tianzihuo's questions while memorizing the pill formula.

He has never slacked off in alchemy, which is a path that leads directly to the great way.

The process of alchemy can also make one experience the word "creation"... Yao Yan feels that his future path lies in alchemy. He wants to create a method to achieve nirvana, turn everything he swallows into nutrients, and transform into a divine fetus, which is very consistent with the path of alchemy.

The path of cultivation is to treat oneself as a pill to be refined. Different materials will eventually lead to different paths and destinations.

Besides.

Yaoyan is also accumulating connections, which will be convenient if it really comes to that in the future.

We must plan ahead for everything.

"The cultivation of the human race is really troublesome~" Tianzihuo said lazily. It was obvious that he had no interest in the alchemy of the human race. For the strange fire, they only needed to have enough fire energy to directly improve their strength.

However, the stronger the strength, the energy required will increase exponentially, even far exceeding the energy required by humans to increase their strength.

This is related to the mysteries of the human body.

The Emperor's Fire is still some distance away from this step, so it is naturally not very clear, and its origin is not complete, and its upper limit has long been limited.

Yao Yan did not argue with Tianzihuo. He never felt it was a hassle. On the contrary, he felt that the path of human cultivation was the most interesting thing. He did not know how much effort and lives the predecessors had spent to explore this complete path of cultivation. And he could not expect a strange fire to understand all these.

"Has Lord Xuwu ever made elixirs?" Yao Yan suddenly thought of something, looked at Tianzihuo and asked.

"It seems like I've refined it before? Later I found it boring, so I didn't continue~" The human face transformed by the Emperor's Fire was in a trance for a moment, revealing a thoughtful look, and then said to Yao Yan.

Is it boring?

Yao Yan didn't think so. He believed that Xuwu Tunyan must have studied the magic formula of transforming elixir. That formula originated from the magic formula created by the ancient emperor Tushe, which could transform the emperor's elixir back to its original form. This magic formula must be related to alchemy, but Tianzihuo did not know these secrets. It was a tool fire since its birth, used to control the operation of the entire blood sacrifice world.

Now that the Soul Clan plan is not far from being launched, the blood sacrifice world will naturally be slowly closed, and the Soul Clan disciples inside will slowly walk out.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

The only variable is yourself!
"brush!"

The space twisted, and Hun Yi's figure appeared in the courtyard. At the same time, a ring with purple light was handed to Yao Yan. He lowered his head and said in an old voice with a little respect: "Young Patriarch, this is the technique and fighting skills you need!"

"Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Hun." Yao Yan said politely, and then sucked the storage ring into his palm. In addition to the various skills collected by the Hun Clan, it also contained the Hun Clan's core skills. With his current identity, he could naturally watch and practice at will.

He was still very interested in the Heaven-Swallowing Art. Although he could not change the attributes of his fighting spirit and the technique, he could use the evil spirit to evolve the Heaven-Swallowing Art!

Evil spirit does not care about the so-called attributes of martial arts.

"It's quite lively~" A faint voice sounded from inside the house. After a moment, the space on one side was torn apart by black flames, and then the figure of Hunxuzi walked out of it. His eyes were indifferent as he scanned the entire scene, and finally fell on Yao Yan and threw a jade bottle over.

Yao Yan took it and did not examine it. He bowed respectfully to Hun Xuzi and said, "Greetings, Master!"

"Don't you want to take a look? This is the gift your master prepared for you." Hunxuzi showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile as he looked at the jade bottle in Yao Yan's hand.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan curiously opened the jade bottle, and immediately an indescribable medicinal fragrance filled the air. Just by smelling it, he felt tingling all over his body, and even his soul felt a little cold, which startled him.

"Teacher, this pill is..."

"The ninth-grade precious pill, the Holy Spirit Pill, can allow a ninth-level Dou Zun to directly step into the semi-saint level, and accelerate the transformation speed of a semi-saint... But the drug is too strong, once you can't bear it, it is very easy to explode and die." Hunxuzi laughed strangely, "A Dou Zun level is not qualified to take the ninth-grade precious pill!"

He paused. He looked at Yao Yan and continued, "But this pill is very suitable for you. Your body has already absorbed a drop of Dou Sheng's blood essence, and you have some of the Dou Sheng's immortality. Now you have also stepped into the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun, and your body is strong. You don't need to worry about the violent medicinal power of this pill. You can use all the medicinal power for yourself and step into the semi-saint realm at the fastest speed and transform yourself!"

"…Even if something unexpected happens, it can sort out the medicinal power for you, allowing you to absorb it steadily and transform."

Hunxuzi looked at Tianzihuo on the side with a cold look and a hint of warning.

"Don't worry, sir. I will protect the young master well." Tian Zihuo said with a smile.

"It's better this way. If something happens to him, you won't need to exist." Hunxuzi said coldly. The value of the Void Devouring Flame Emperor's Fire is extremely high, but for the Hun Clan who are about to implement the plan, Yaoyan's value has surpassed the Emperor's Fire.

Tianzihuo still had a smile on his face and said nothing. As he was part of the origin of the Void Devouring Flame, it was not easy to make it disappear.

"Swallow it. This is the first step. I'll keep an eye on it for you." Hunxuzi turned to look at Yao Yan and said in a deep voice.

Yao Yan nodded, looked at the golden pill floating out of the jade bottle, took a deep breath, and swallowed it into his mouth. At the same time, he sat down cross-legged and activated the Burning Technique with all his strength. The majestic fighting spirit flowed through the meridians in his body like a huge wave, and the soul power of the late Heavenly Realm covered his whole body, locking onto the Holy Spirit Pill that had slipped into his abdomen!

The ninth-grade elixir and the eighth-grade elixir are not in the same league at all, just like the Douluo Saint and Douluo Lord. The energy contained in the Holy Spirit Pill is even more terrifying. If it were to explode at once, it would be enough to turn Yao Yan into powder in an instant.

Fortunately, alchemists can transform these energies into the most "mild" medicinal power for those with weaker cultivation to absorb and refine, and even give it unique properties.

"Om~"

Under the gaze of Yao Yan's soul power, the ninth-grade precious pill that was swallowed into his abdomen did not directly turn into medicinal power. It just trembled slightly, and then bursts of golden mist emanated from its surface and merged into Yao Yan's body. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of expansion began to tear apart Yao Yan's body, and severe pain swept through his body. Even the bones in his body began to creak, as if they could not withstand the heavy medicinal power.

And this is only the most superficial part of the Holy Spirit Pill's medicinal power...

Yao Yan had already gotten used to this pain. He remained calm and continued to practice the Burning Technique, wrapping the Holy Spirit Pill with the fusion of strange fire, refining the rich medicinal power and integrating it into his limbs and bones.

With the stimulation of the fused strange fire, the Holy Spirit Pill began to gush out tremendous medicinal power. The golden medicinal power even turned the flesh and blood around Yao Yan's lower abdomen into gold. The difficult-to-dissolve medicinal power began to erode Yao Yan's entire body, and even the blood began to turn into dazzling gold.

The powerful medicinal power could not be described in words, and it seemed that Yao Yan was simply unable to bear it.

However, the moment these golden medicinal powers came into contact with Yao Yan's bones, the jade bones all over his body began to exert their strength, like an extremely hungry glutton, and began to swallow the golden medicinal powers in big gulps. The powerful medicinal power nourished the jade bones, making them more transparent and bright, and transforming into truly immortal jade bones.

During this process, Yao Yan's body gradually withstood the erosion of the medicinal power and began to slowly absorb and transform. Even his soul power was nourished. An inexplicable sense of warmth and coolness flowed through his body. Pain and comfort coexisted, making people forget the existence of time. They wanted to immerse themselves in it forever, as if they had returned to the womb.

"wake up!"

Until a cold voice rang out, awakening Yao Yan from his obsession.

Yao Yan suddenly opened his eyes. The scene in the room was still the same as before, but Yao Yan's body had undergone a strange transformation. A large amount of medicinal power continued to dissipate, causing his body surface to glow with a golden halo, turning him into a veritable little golden man. However, the severe pain made him understand his current state.

Hunxuzi looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Don't be paralyzed by the power of the Holy Spirit Pill. You must remain absolutely awake during the transformation process. Once you lose control, your consciousness will sink. If there is no external interference, you will die directly in this state. Many semi-saints have failed in this process!"

"You should try to control the process of transformation instead of being controlled by the power of the drug or passively transforming. The difference is huge. If the transformation is incomplete, you can only stop at the level of a semi-saint in this life!"

"Physical force, fighting spirit, soul... You need to control the transformation process of the three. Different people transform in different ways. Some people will transform their souls first, but you will transform your physical force first. This is great. A strong body can carry stronger fighting spirit and soul!"

Yao Yan listened to Hunxuzi's words. He could no longer speak at this moment. His whole body was filled with powerful medicinal power, which made him feel extremely heavy, as if he was put in a layer of shackles. He could only try his best to stay awake, while practicing the Burning Technique to refine the medicinal power in his body and control the direction and speed of the transformation.

As he controlled it, the golden light emanating from his body began to disappear, and was replaced by a purple-blue fused strange fire that enveloped his entire body.

He began to try to transform his body through alchemy.

This method had been used on him by Hunxuzi in the past. He remembered the process very clearly and had never forgotten it. It had penetrated almost into every cell of his body. Now he just had to try it again!
"Very good~" Hunxuzi was very satisfied with Yaoyan's reaction and speed. He could adjust so quickly, which showed Yaoyan's talent and will. The process of transformation was not a comfortable one, and the training required was no less than body forging and reshaping.

If not, how can it be called a holy word!
……

……

Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

"Fighting Spirit: Sixth Stage!!"

"Xiao Mei, fighting spirit: sixth stage! Level: intermediate!"

"Great, I've made progress again!" The thirteen-year-old girl clenched her fists with a hint of joy in her eyes. She couldn't help but shout out loud. Then, under the smiling gaze of everyone, she shyly stuck out her tongue, pinched the hem of her skirt, and trotted down from the test stone tablet.
"At the age of thirteen, he already possesses the sixth stage of fighting spirit. I believe that in another three to five years, he will become a true fighter. He is indeed a family seed-level figure~"

"Yes, but what's even more outrageous is Young Master Xiao Yan. He condensed the Dou Qi Cyclone at the age of eleven, becoming the youngest Dou Master in our family. He is currently less than fourteen years old. I remember that the clan leader tested him last year and his strength had reached that of a nine-star Dou Master. I don't know if he has improved this year. If he has improved... A Dou Master less than fourteen years old, wow, what a terrifying talent!"

"How can we compare with Master Xiao Yan? He is an unrivaled genius. There is no one in the Jia Ma Empire who can rival him."

Under the envious and kind gazes of the crowd, the thirteen-year-old girl trotted over to the side of a young man, raised her bright and childish face, and called out in a crisp voice: "Brother Xiao Yan, am I great!"

The boy named Xiao Yan was already used to the attention of everyone. He had a faint smile on his face, calm and confident. He raised his hand and touched her head, smiling, "Mei'er is very good, but you still need to work harder!"

"Yeah~" Xiao Mei replied with a smile, standing beside Xiao Yan like a little bird, enjoying the stares of the crowd. (End of this chapter)
