"Heavenly Demon Puppet, this method is not a martial art, nor is it an ordinary fighting skill, but a puppet technique passed down from ancient times. To refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet, three things must be gathered together: body, soul, and magic core. The body is used as a tool, the soul is used as a guide, and the magic core is used as a heart. With many other materials, it will eventually become a demon puppet. Demon puppets are divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and man. The difference in level depends on the refining materials and the refining fire. It is infinitely powerful and has no joy or sorrow, no pain or injury. It is indeed a killing tool."

When his gaze shifted away from the last blood-red font, Xiao Yuan sighed and shook his head, and handed the bamboo slips to Su Qian and others on the side. The latter took it, looked at it carefully, and a look of surprise also appeared on their faces.

"I have only seen this so-called puppet technique occasionally in some ancient books, but I have never seen the method of refining it. I didn't expect that this old demon had such a collection. I'm afraid that the seventh-level fire attribute magic core was left by this old guy for refining the 'Sky Demon Puppet'."

After checking, Su Qian exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Yuan nodded and said with some regret: "What a pity, I just killed that old demon without a complete body, otherwise I would have a good body."

"The method of refining this 'Heavenly Demon Puppet' is full of blood. It takes a human body and soul, and then adds a magic core. The three things are gathered together, and combined with the unique refining method, perhaps the power of the thing refined is really amazing." Su Qian shook his head, handed the bamboo slips back to Xiao Yuan, and said, "You should keep this thing. It's not good for such a thing to appear in the academy. Since you want to venture into Zhongzhou, this is more suitable for you."

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan gladly took it and put it into his ring.

He was indeed quite interested in this "Heavenly Demon Puppet", and apart from some special materials, he almost had all the soul and magic core mentioned above. As for the body, it would not be difficult to kill a Dou Zong.

In fact, it’s not that the body is gone. The Yunlan Sect still has Yunshan’s body, and it should not have rotted yet.

But if he was really dug out and made into a puppet, Yun Yun would probably be so angry that she would ignore him, and he would be the kind that is hard to coax, so she could only think of someone else.

After putting the bamboo slips into his storage ring, Xiao Yuan looked around. He was no longer interested in the other martial arts and fighting skills here. However, the rare medicinal herbs that were well collected were of some use to him. Therefore, after a brief selection, he also collected some medicinal herbs that might be useful in the future.

After looting everything he needed, Xiao Yuan finally stopped with a feeling of being unsatisfied. There were few things left in the warehouse that caught his eye, but for the Xiao family, it was still a huge windfall. The Xiao family had been in decline for too long and had a weak foundation. There simply weren't many techniques and fighting skills for the clan members to practice. Now that they had confiscated the Demon Flame Valley, they had finally avoided this kind of trouble.

Of course, among these there are also fighting skills that the academy needs. The great elder will pick them out and ask his elders to make a copy.

However, Xiao Yuan did find some useful things from the storage ring of the old demon.

For example, during the previous fight, the several fighting skills that the old demon used were all in the ring.

Thousands of mysterious ice thorns, ice-condensed sword techniques, blood-chilling and freezing sky.

Two high-level Xuan-grade ice-attribute fighting skills, and one low-level Earth-grade fighting skill.

In addition, there are the low-level earth-level ice-attribute skills, the Heavenly Cold Blood Art, and the Blood-Cold Extremely Frozen Sky, which are a set of fighting skills that complement each other.

To be honest, Xiao Yuan was not very satisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

What good things can this old demon have?

If this old fellow's fighting skills were better, he wouldn't still be struggling in the Seven-Star Dou Zong realm.

But he also has a goal.

There is a force in Zhongzhou called Glacier Valley, and the master of the valley is a Dou Zun powerful warrior.

Their ice-attribute fighting skills and techniques seemed to be of high grade. Xiao Yuan was very interested in them!
After a rest, the group returned to the inner courtyard. What happened today would once again push the reputation of Canaan Academy to a level that would make the people of the Black Horn Region even more fearful.

Back in the inner courtyard, the elders returned to their respective positions, while Xiao Yuan sensed an unfamiliar Dou Zong aura!
However, looking at the Great Elder's appearance, he seemed to be quite familiar with that aura, so Xiao Yuan did not care. After returning to his residence, he took the Little Medical Fairy's slender white arm and began to feel her pulse.

Little Medical Fairy is in quite good condition.

It was just normal poison training, which would not have such a strong impact on her poisonous body. In a short period of time, her poisonous body would not get out of control.

This made him feel a lot more at ease.

However, the relationship between these two people is really close, and simple physical contact is enough to arouse some sparks of desire. Although it is not easy to do anything big, they still stayed affectionate for a long time before separating.

When she left, Xiao Yixian's face was still a little flushed. She was quite confident in fighting against the strong men of the Battle Sect, but at this moment her body felt a little weak.

Thinking of Xiao Yuan's big hands that kept moving around when he was holding her and kissing her deeply, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, covering her red cheeks with her hands, her mind flying away.

Xiao Yuan, who had just received a wave of Yin-replenishing Yang, was now feeling refreshed. He saw Xiao Yan approaching him and said, "Brother, the Great Elder just sent someone over and told us to go over there."

"Let us go over? Isn't he an old friend?"

Xiao Yuan asked with some surprise.

"Well, I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Xiao Yan shook his head upon hearing this and guessed.

"Well, let's go check it out."

Xiao Yuan nodded, then stepped into the air and flew towards the Elders' Council.

Xiao Yan also ejected his bone wings and followed closely behind.

The two of them were extremely fast. Although the inner courtyard was large, for them now, it only took a little time to appear in any corner of the inner courtyard.

As they entered the Great Elder's courtyard, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan saw three figures. One was the Great Elder Su Qian, and the other was an old man in green clothes. Judging from their aura, they also seemed to be Dou Zong level warriors.

There was also a woman in light blue clothes, she was not very old, but had a very beautiful face. Her slender body wrapped in clothes showed attractive curves, which was quite attractive. However, it was a bit regrettable that there was a hint of coldness in her temperament that kept people at a distance. At first glance, you could tell that she was a very cold and arrogant woman. Most of these women were the type that were extremely difficult to be conquered by men. Therefore, people who had no ability could only admire them from afar but not touch them.

Okay, let’s get off topic. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan have no interest in this little girl.

"Great Elder, it seems that the reason you asked us to come here has something to do with your old friend."

Xiao Yuan flashed and came to Su Qian's side. He nodded to the two guests, one old and one young, of Great Elder Su Qian, which meant that they had met each other.

Behind him, Xiao Yan also landed, greeted Su Qian, and then bowed to the two people in front of him.

After all, this old man in green is also a Dou Zong powerhouse. Although he may not be his opponent, for the sake of Great Elder Su Qian, it would not hurt to show some respect to him.

The old man in green looked at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan with surprise. With his eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Xiao Yan was only a few years older than his granddaughter, but now he was already a seven-star Douhuang.

As for Xiao Yuan, he was obviously a Dou Zong expert as he walked through the void earlier.

Such a young Dou Zong expert!
No wonder old fellow Su Qian showed such pride when he mentioned these two people just now. It seems that the inner courtyard has really cultivated extremely outstanding students!

"Haha, this is the brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan." Su Qian smiled, and then introduced his old friend to Xiao Yuan and the other two. "This is my friend Ye Zhong, whom I met when I was traveling in Zhongzhou. The one next to him is Ye Xinlan. At such a young age, she is already a fourth-grade alchemist. She is going to come to the academy to practice for a while."

"Oh, you are the great elder's old friend. Mr. Ye, Junior Sister Xinlan, hello."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, but his heart was slightly moved.

He seemed to have some impression of these two names.

Xiao Yan behind him also smiled.

He actually doesn't like this kind of polite scene, so let the third brother take the lead.

"Haha, just now when I heard old fellow Su Qian mention you two, I was a little skeptical. But now I see with my own eyes that you two would be top geniuses in Zhongzhou!"

When Ye Zhong saw the strength of the two, he was sure that Su Qian had not lied to him, and he bowed solemnly.

After all, you are asking for help from others, so you should be more humble.

"So, let's get straight to the point?"

Xiao Yuan didn't want to waste time, so he asked immediately.

"Well, that's fine too."

Su Qian nodded and looked at Ye Chong standing beside him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong's old face showed a solemn expression. He bowed again and said solemnly: "We invited two young talents to come here this time because we hope that they can help our Ye family and re-enter the elders' seat of Dan Tower!"

"The elders' seat at Danta?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other in confusion.

Yao Lao had never introduced this kind of information to them before.

Seeing this, Ye Chong also hurriedly introduced: "Dan Tower is located in Danyu. There are five major families, and my Ye family is one of them. Our five major families have been passed down a long time ago. The patriarchs who founded these five major families at that time were all core members of Dan Tower. According to the conditions, as long as the five major families can meet certain conditions in the future, they can all occupy a seat in the elders' seat of Dan Tower.

Every once in a while, Danta will conduct an assessment on the five major families, and only those who pass the assessment can continue to keep their seat in the elders' seat."

"How to assess?"

Xiao Yuan nodded and said softly.

"Danta attaches great importance to the training of the younger generation, and the assessment is naturally aimed at the younger generation."

As Ye Chong spoke, he glanced at Xin Lan standing beside him and sighed softly. The descendants of the Ye family were getting worse with each generation. It seemed that their talent for alchemy was gradually being worn down. They were even inferior to some alchemists outside. Among the young generation this year, Xin Lan's talent was considered good, but she had only just reached the level of a fourth-grade alchemist. By the time of the assessment next year, she would probably be at most a fifth-grade alchemist.

Seeing Ye Zhong's gaze, Xin Lan's pretty face, as cold as an iceberg, was now flushed with shame.

"For each assessment, the five major families must send a young person to accept Danta's test. If the test is passed, the seat will be retained, but if it fails, then it will be dangerous."

Ye Zhong smiled bitterly.

"My Ye family has failed twice. If we fail again this time, we will not only lose the qualification to enter the Danta elders' seat, but also be squeezed out of the five major families. The five major families are a shortcut to enter the upper echelons of Danta, so there are countless eyes staring at this place. As long as my Ye family is squeezed out, those guys who are eyeing it will rush up immediately."

"Are the assessment conditions very harsh?"

Xiao Yuan nodded and asked.

Ye Zhong nodded and sighed, "The minimum qualification to participate in this kind of assessment is that you need to be a pharmacist of at least the sixth rank, and if you want to pass, you have to reach the level of a seventh rank pharmacist."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly and said slowly: "Seventh rank, it should be about the same in some time."

Ye Chong was also somewhat surprised to hear Xiao Yuan's words.

"Mr. Xiao Yuan is about to break through to become a seventh-grade alchemist?"

After saying this, Ye Chong shook his head with some regret.

"I have cultivated for so many years and have only reached this level. Mr. Xiao Yuan is naturally gifted, but how can anyone in our Ye family, the younger generation, reach this level? And the worst thing is that the Ye family has failed the previous two assessments. This time, we must be in the top three in the assessment quota to be considered qualified."

"Top three?"

“Alas, the other four major families are becoming more and more powerful, and the younger generations in the families are also talented. Although they may not send the most elite young people in the family to participate in this kind of assessment, it is difficult to get the top three even if my Ye family really has a young seventh-grade alchemist.”

Ye Zhong sighed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan behind Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shake his head at the decline of the Ye family. Others didn't even need to send out the most elite talents in the family to pass the assessment, but the Ye family couldn't even pass the most basic assessment. As one of the five major families, the Ye family was really too miserable, wasn't it?
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Ye Chong seemed to know what he was thinking, and his old face turned a little red. The once prominent family had declined to this state in his generation, and he had lost all his face.

"It's not difficult, but I can't help you for free, right? How about the reward?"

Xiao Yuan touched his chin, thinking that this matter should not be difficult to accomplish, but it would not be possible for him to do it for free.

Hearing this, Ye Zhong felt a headache.

Indeed, what about the reward?

Ordinary things can't hire a seventh-grade alchemist! (End of this chapter)
