Xiao Yuan let out a light breath, his face slightly solemn, and turned to look at Yao Lao standing beside him.

"Teacher, it seems he doesn't know much."

Yao Lao slowly showed up and nodded thoughtfully.

This Iron Protector belongs to the lowest level of the Soul Palace, so naturally he doesn't know much. If I had known this earlier, I should have spared the life of the Wu Protector that day. After all, he is an Earth-level Protector and must know more.

"Well, the elder he mentioned is probably a Dou Zun level warrior. In my current state, it would be difficult for me to encounter a Dou Zun warrior who is more powerful."

Yao Lao nodded and said seriously.

Although in his prime, even the Dou Zun strongmen would be in awe of him, but now he has no physical body after all, and cannot use all his skills. In addition, the Soul Palace's special methods for dealing with souls do make him feel very difficult.

"It seems that my strength is still not enough."

Xiao Yuan was silent for a moment and sighed.

"To be able to advance to Douhuang at this age, your cultivation speed is already very fast."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao shook his head helplessly. Having been master and disciple for such a long time, he had long discovered that Xiao Yuan had an almost crazy obsession with becoming stronger.

Just like how he was madly exploring the art of alchemy back then and was as obsessive as he was.

But he acted like that back then, firstly because of his parents' affairs, and secondly because he really liked refining medicine.

But what about Xiao Yuan?

Although Xiao Yuan did enjoy the result of becoming stronger, Yao Lao thought that if Xiao Yuan was strong enough, he would probably act badly every day and go around looking for those girls with whom he had a close relationship to discuss the way to harmonize yin and yang.

This disciple did not try to hide his lust at all.

But he spent most of his time practicing, and he was very worried, and he looked like he was insecure.
"It's not enough, teacher. If every branch of the Soul Hall has a respected elder in charge, how powerful must the master of the main hall be? A Dou Sheng?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Yao Lao also fell silent.

What Xiao Yuan said was indeed reasonable. Even the branch halls in the northwest region had Dou Zun-level elders in charge. What about Zhongzhou?
It seems that old man Mu Gu is the elder of a branch of the Soul Palace. From this point of view, let alone Xiao Yuan, even if he recovers his former strength, it may not be enough.

in this way
All I can hope for is that when my body is restored, I can make further progress!

But in that case, the material requirements for resurrection would probably be much higher.

He originally thought that it would be good enough to be resurrected and see the light of day again, but now, the growth rate of these two little guys, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, is really beyond his expectations.

Perhaps, we can really go a step further?

A little expectation arose in Yao Lao's heart.

"Teacher, I want to try to refine this demonic poison spot first."

At this time, Xiao Yuan stared at the snake-shaped mark in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and spoke seriously.

"Oh?"

Yao Lao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yuan with some curiosity.

"Teacher, this is what I think. Although that old man is very powerful, my own Dou Qi foundation is not much inferior to some five- or six-star Dou Huang masters. Coupled with the power of the strange fire, it should not be difficult to split this demon poison spot and refine a small part of it."

Xiao Yuan nodded, looked at the strange fire sealed snake that was already tumbling in his palm, and said in a deep voice.

"Your strange fire has changed again. Have you cultivated a new strange fire? Or..."

Yao Lao asked.

"That's it."

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Well, your technique is indeed mysterious. Although the strength of the condensed strange fire is only linked to your own strength, it is still a real strange fire. The three kinds of strange fire working together can indeed try to refine some of the devil poison spots.
Oh, I remember now, you helped Xiao Yan transform the strange fire before, right?"

Yao Lao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he recalled the scene when Xiao Yan refined the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill at the Alchemist Conference that year.

"Yes, I still have some confidence in my flame."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said seriously.

"I think we don't need to go through so much trouble. For you, refining the Demonic Poison Spot doesn't require you to come up with a prescription. With my Bone Spirit Cold Fire, we have four strange fires. If the power of the four strange fires can be combined into one, even a peak Dou Zong Demonic Poison Spot would not be able to withstand it."

Yao Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up.

"I forgot that I now possess three kinds of strange fire. In terms of power, the strength of my fused strange fire is enough to rank in the top ten of the strange fire list. If I add my teacher's bone spirit cold fire, I'm afraid this demonic poison spot can be refined in an instant!"

Xiao Yuan said excitedly.

"Well, but with your strength, it is difficult to fuse the four kinds of strange fire together without the strengthening of practicing the Burning Technique. Lend me your strange fire and I will help you refine this demonic poison spot."

As Yao Lao spoke, a cold, white bone fire rose from his palm.

"okay."

Xiao Yuan nodded and sent the bluish-brown flame to Yao Lao's hand.

Looking at the two flames in his palms, Yao Lao's expression became much more serious. Then, under Xiao Yuan's slightly nervous gaze, he rubbed the two flames together.

At the same time, the power of space emerged in Yao Lao's palm, and the flames splashed by the strange fire that became violent due to the fusion of the strange fire were also sucked into the void.

The temperature in the room continued to rise, and a wave of destruction emerged. If Yao Lao had not been prepared, the isolation shield set up by Xiao Yuan would probably have been broken through by this wave in the first place.

Xiao Yuan watched as Yao Lao compressed and blended his fused strange fire and bone spirit cold fire together with his tyrannical and terrifying strength.

After a moment, a blue-gray flame rose in Yao Lao's palm. The scorching heat made Xiao Yuan feel an extremely clear sense of heat.

"This power can be ranked in the top seven on the list of strange fires."

Yao Lao looked at the strange fire in his hand and felt quite emotional.

He never expected that one day he would be able to use such a powerful strange fire.

"Come on, remove that seal and I'll take care of it."

Yao Lao looked at the strange fire seal snake swimming in Xiao Yuan's palm. He waved his hand, and the invisible force of space turned into a prison, trapping it inside.

Xiao Yuan naturally had great trust in Yao Lao, and he immediately cast a spell to lift the seal.

As the blue-brown fire snake dissipated, the black fighting spirit instantly turned into a sharp arrow and shot towards Xiao Yuan, but it was bound by the space prison and could not move forward.

Yao Lao's face was calm, and he used the power of space to transfer it to the strange fire in his palm. Then, bursts of explosions came from the strange fire, but at the same time, Yao Lao used his other empty hand to release the bone spirit cold fire.

"Although this Dou Qi is pure enough, it is difficult for you to master it after absorbing so much Dou Qi at once. The effect of this fused strange fire is good, so I will refine some auxiliary materials for you to help you refine and absorb it better."

As Yao Lao started to explain, his mind moved, and herbs flew out from the storage ring in Xiao Yuan's hand one after another. They were thrown into the strange fire and refined into the purest medicinal liquid.

As the blue-grey flame burned fiercely, the black ball of fighting spirit also began to churn violently, and the huge fighting spirit contained in it began to appear faintly.

The blue-gray flames burned fiercely, and a heat continued to spread out, making the whole room become much hotter.

Xiao Yuan's mind moved, and the black ice-attributed fighting spirit spread throughout the room.

If the strange fire continues to burn, I'm afraid the room will catch fire.

His ice-attributed Dou Qi, due to the Yin-Yang dual flames, is quite heat-resistant. It has now turned into solid ice and there is no risk of it melting for the time being.

Even though the ball of Dou Qi still contained the deadly poison accumulated by Xie Bi Yan throughout his life, under the terrifyingly high temperature of the strange fire, that part of the poison was gradually being refined into nothingness. In addition, Yao Lao's soul power was comparable to that of a Dou Zun strongman at the moment, so even if the evil poison spot wanted to cause trouble, it did not have the ability to escape Yao Lao's control.

Feeling the power of Yao Lao, Xiao Yuan also yearned for it. If he had Yao Lao's strength at this moment, he would definitely go straight to the Tianzang Gorge of the Tianxin Empire without saying a word and destroy the branch of the Soul Palace.

As long as he acts quickly enough and prevents the Soul Palace people from asking for help, things should go smoothly.

He is very confident in his own abilities!

As Xiao Yuan's thoughts were turning over, the color of the demonic poisonous Dou Qi in the blue-gray flame in Yao Lao's hand had faded considerably, and one could even directly see the extremely viscous pure Dou Qi in it, which was as liquid-like.

"As expected of this sinister thing that has condensed the Dou Zong strongman's life-long fighting spirit. It can actually resist the strange fire for so long."

Looking at the ball of black poisonous fighting spirit that still remained, Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly.

This slow refining process took Yao Lao two hours to complete.

A ball of liquid fighting spirit that seemed to be insubstantial was now surging in Yao Lao's palm.

But this is not over yet. Yao Lao flickered his fingertips and increased the firepower. He directly tempered the ball of fighting spirit, reducing its size by a circle before stopping.

Immediately afterwards, the liquid medicine that had been refined long ago was injected into the Dou Qi ball.

The next moment, the seals on Yao Lao's palms kept changing, and the fighting spirit and medicinal liquid in the blue-gray flame gradually began to merge, emitting a colorful luster.

Watching Yao Lao refining the medicine so skillfully, Xiao Yuan's eyes also became focused. Although this was not medicine refining, the refining technique was enough for Xiao Yuan to study carefully.

"Although you have good physical fitness, this fighting spirit is still too huge. Refining it all at once may harm your body. I will divide it into three parts. It will be easier for you to refine them separately."

Yao Lao's movements were very decisive. While he was speaking, a blue-grey strange fire knife was condensed and, under the control of his soul perception, it precisely split the colorful ball of fighting spirit into three pieces. After a little concentration, three colorful transparent beads appeared in Yao Lao's palm.

"Although they are all pure fighting spirit, I don't recommend you to refine them all at once. After all, if your strength increases too quickly, it will be difficult for you to control it."

Yao Lao handed the strange fire and three colorful transparent beads to Xiao Yuan and suggested.

"Well, it will probably take quite some time to refine all this Dou Qi. Although the academy is not in a hurry, I have been away for a while. Things in the Izumo Empire are almost done. I will stay in the Gama Empire for a few days and then go back. After all, the Black Horn Region is closer to the center of the continent, so it is more convenient to collect intelligence."

Xiao Yuan nodded, took back the strange fire, put the two colorful transparent beads into the ring, and then put the colorful transparent bead left in his palm into his mouth.

Wow!
The colorful transparent beads melted in the mouth, and an extremely surging fighting spirit flowed along Xiao Yuan's mouth, entered the esophagus, and fell into the stomach.

As Xiao Yuan formed seals, the yellow earth qi palace of the spleen emitted a bright and precious light, and the fighting spirit in the stomach seemed to be pulled and continued to drill into the surrounding meridians.

Xiao Yuan ran it along the meridians, and then poured it all into the five Qi Palaces.

Yao Lao's idea of ​​refining and absorbing Dou Qi separately was indeed a good one. Xiao Yuan did not encounter any obstacles when practicing this technique. Although the Dou Qi was so powerful that it caused Xiao Yuan's meridians to hurt slightly, he had the Jueyin Fengmu Qi in the Qingmu Qi Palace to repair himself, so he was able to refine the Dou Qi without any danger and smoothly.

As the last bit of Dou Qi poured into the Qi Palace, Xiao Yuan's aura suddenly surged.

Two stars, three stars, four stars peak!

"call!"

Xiao Yuan opened his eyes and saw Yao Lao holding the teacup but not drinking it.

"Not bad, pretty much what I expected."

Yao Lao nodded.

Although Xie Bi Yan is a Dou Zong powerhouse with extremely powerful Dou Qi, Xiao Yuan has five Qi Palaces, and the amount of Dou Qi he needs is also huge.

If an ordinary person refines all the Dou Qi at the Douhuang realm, he can probably at least reach the level of a solid two-star Douzong.

But Xiao Yuan?
At most, it can reach the level of a seven-star Douhuang. Of course, with the auxiliary medicines added by Yao Lao, it may be able to reach the effect of eight or even nine stars.

"Four-star peak, I can still control it."

Xiao Yuan clenched his fists and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, it's been a day, it's time to go out."

After Yao Lao finished speaking, he removed the protective shield, turned into a stream of light, and drilled into the ring.

"Did it take a whole day to refine and absorb Dou Qi this time?"

Xiao Yuan blinked in surprise. He didn't expect that it would take a whole day to complete the refining and absorption?
But this is normal. After all, he has just been promoted to Douhuang level. Such a refining speed is already quite good.

When I opened the door, I saw the little medical fairy standing outside the door with her back against the wall.

As for Zi Yan
Xiao Yuan didn't sense her presence, and thought that she had gone somewhere to destroy other people's medicinal herbs again.

"You have refined the devil poison spot?"

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Xiao Yuan's undisguised aura, raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, I refined a part of it."

Xiao Yuan nodded.

"I didn't expect that the old man Xie Biyan, who was determined to make sure you didn't get any better, would actually help you."

The Little Medical Fairy shook her head and spoke in a daze.

"My methods are beyond his imagination."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan held his head high and said proudly.

"Virtue."

Seeing this, the Little Medical Fairy rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan, but there was clearly a smile on her face.

After confirming that the evil poison spot could not threaten Xiao Yuan, she was completely relieved. (End of this chapter)
