"Why are you here? Little Doctor Fairy told me that you went to look for your tribe members."

Xiao Yuan, wearing a white dress, floated down and looked at the cute little girl in front of him who was as white and cute as a porcelain doll. He couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head.

The big man standing by stared with his eyes wide open, looking at the outrageous scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

No, someone actually dared to touch this old lady's head? And it's okay after touching it?
The younger aunt calls her sister, so isn’t this woman in white the elder aunt?
"I escaped! Hey, I knew you were coming to the alchemy meeting, so I came here to wait for you!"

Zi Yan smiled like a little fox, her eyes narrowed into crescents.

"I am so pitiful. After I left, there will be no more delicious pills. Every day, those abominable guys have to force me to eat some disgusting things that are so unpalatable that I am dying!"

However, the scene immediately changed. Zi Yan grabbed Xiao Yuan's sleeve, and her gem-like eyes immediately became watery. In her opinion, her life during this period was too miserable. Compared with her previous life with Xiao Yuan, it was simply a life in hell. Therefore, as soon as she had the chance, she would find an opportunity to slip away!
"You mean your people?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Zi Yan rubbing her tears and snot against him, and his blood pressure suddenly rose. But he also understood Zi Yan. This girl was just at the age of playing around. It was really hard for her to accept eating those unpalatable herbs to improve her strength for the future of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Besides, he also knew Zi Yan. What she said just now was probably exaggerated. If it was really a disgusting thing, she would not be able to have such strength now. But what was strange was that this girl was obviously already at the seventh level, why did she still look like a child?

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan nodded vigorously, obviously disgusted with the kindness of her people. However, if her people knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood on the spot. This is really a case of good people not being rewarded!
"Here, your favorite pill."

Xiao Yuan smiled and handed a jade bottle to Zi Yan.

He had already refined this batch of pills when he set out for the Dan Domain before, but he failed to deliver them. So they came in handy now.

"Wow, I knew you were the best to me!"

Zi Yan couldn't hide her excitement when she heard that. She snatched the jade bottle and started to force the pills into her mouth.

"By the way, why are you wearing a veil again? With your strength, why do you still need to hide?"

Zi Yan asked while eating with a slightly dirty mouth.

"I have to hide. I am the host of the Alchemy Association. It is against the rules to run into the Alchemy World. I don't want to be recognized."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan put away his veil, revealing a delicate face as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. Then, with a casual move of his hand, he led the scattered medicinal herbs on the ground that Zi Yan had bitten and dropped to the front of him. He stretched out his hand and a dark golden flame gushed out, refining all the herbs into pure medicinal power, which he then slapped into Zi Yan's body.

When this huge amount of medicinal power entered the body, an ordinary person might die from the rupture of his meridians due to the impact of the medicine, but for Zi Yan's strong body, it was just like a tickle.

There was a strange itchy feeling where the drug flowed, making Zi Yan couldn't help laughing:

"Ouch, what are you doing! Haha!"

The big man next to him also brightened up when he saw this.

Judging from the speed of refining the medicinal materials just now, this person's alchemy skills are not low! Moreover, this woman is really pretty, but unfortunately, she is a little thin and looks frail.

"By the way, who is this friend?"

Xiao Yuan turned his gaze to the burly man beside him.

"His name is Xiong Zhan, I call him Big Guy, he is the boss of the Wanyao Mountain Range, he is in charge of all the natural resources and treasures here."

Zi Yan chuckled, a hint of greed flashed in Shui Ling's eyes. He had feasted a lot here during this period of time!

Hearing Zi Yan's words, the big man named Xiong Zhan couldn't help but shudder. He thought of those rare medicinal herbs that Zi Yan had eaten as snacks. This little guy was a complete waste of treasures.

"Your new little brother?"

Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiong Zhan and found that its strength seemed to be around three-star Dou Zun, but relying on its extremely strong body, it might be able to fight against a four-star Dou Zun!
"That's about right. He's with me!"

Zi Yan pointed at herself with her thumb, acting like a big sister.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhan lowered his head and remained silent. He just took it as it came. He couldn't afford to offend this little girl anyway.

"Hey, big guy, my sister is an eighth-rank alchemist. You have to be more respectful, or I'll beat you up!"

After Zi Yan finished speaking, she waved her little fist, and the space around her began to distort.

"Eighth-rank alchemist!?"

Hearing this, a look of disbelief emerged in Xiong Zhan's eyes. This young girl in front of him, who was only in her early twenties, actually had such strength?
"I wonder what I call the girl?"

Xiong Zhan cupped his hands and asked respectfully.

"Haha, you really believe this little girl's nonsense. I'm not a girl!"

Xiao Yuan was going to get some medicinal herbs for free later, so it was not appropriate for him to use a pseudonym to make friends with Xiong Zhan. He immediately restored his true voice and at the same time, he reached out and wiped his cheek. The black water-attributed fighting spirit removed the makeup on his face, revealing his handsome original appearance.

"Fuck! Are you a man?"

Xiong Zhan had never seen such a disguised evil magic before. When he heard Xiao Yuan's original voice, he felt like being struck by lightning.

"When traveling on the continent, having multiple unexpected identities is still very helpful." Xiao Yuan smiled, cupped his hands, and introduced himself, "Xiao Yuan, an eighth-grade alchemist."

"Xiong Zhan, three-star Dou Zun, my true form is the ancient dragon bear."

Xiong Zhan still found it a little unbelievable, but when he heard that Xiao Yuan was really an eighth-grade alchemist, he quickly returned the salute and introduced himself.

"No wonder he's hanging out with Zi Yan, it turns out he has the blood of the dragon clan."

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this, and suddenly realized.

"hey-hey!"

Hearing this, Xiong Zhan scratched his head embarrassedly, but did not deny it.

"If you need pills in the future, just come to me. For Zi Yan's sake, I won't charge you!"

Xiao Yuan smiled generously and patted Xiong Zhan's shoulder vigorously. "Huh? You are quite strong!"

Xiong Zhan's eyes lit up, and he slapped back with the same force. He found that Xiao Yuan looked normal, and his eyes were full of admiration for Xiao Yuan.

To be able to cultivate the body to this level, this human being is not simple!

"It's just a coincidence. I heard at the foot of the mountain that you guys had collected all the herbs here. Now that I see them with my own eyes, it really makes me dumbfounded!"

Xiao Yuan said modestly, then his eyes swept over the numerous medicinal herbs densely packed in the surrounding square, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In this square, the medicinal herbs that are arranged very neatly are extremely rare in the outside world. However, here, they are placed in piles like cabbages.

Zi Yan smiled and nodded when he heard that, saying, "You can choose whatever you want here, and take everything away when the time comes. That big guy is leaving too anyway, so leaving him here will only benefit others!"

As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, the corners of Xiong Zhan's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. In fact, Zi Yan was right. They were all going to leave this damn place anyway. But even though he thought so, Xiong Zhan still felt his heart bleeding.

"If you need it, just pick it up. When you leave, just leave a little for me."

Xiong Zhan rubbed his huge palms vigorously and forced himself to speak expressionlessly.

Seeing Xiong Zhan's expression, Xiao Yuan knew that this guy was heartbroken, and he smiled and said:
"Brother Xiong Zhan, you are joking. Everything here is yours, but I do need some. I have some pills for strengthening the body. The medicinal power is quite violent. Only a strong body like yours can withstand it. I can exchange some medicinal materials with you. I will never steal your things."

"Oh my, he said it only takes a little bit, it's okay, right?"

While speaking, Zi Yan suddenly turned her head, and a bright purple light flashed across her watery eyes. That purple light was different from the previous ones, and it looked like a dragon.

When Xiong Zhan saw the dragon-shaped purple light, his sturdy body couldn't help but tremble. A kind of pressure coming from his blood made his blood feel like boiling.

"Is this the pressure from the Ancestral Dragon?"

A flash of horror flashed across his eyes, and Xiong Zhan's straight body could not help but become slightly hunched at this moment. He quickly smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, my little aunt is right, Brother Xiao Yuan, just take it. If you take less, it means you look down on me, Xiong Zhan, and I will be furious!

Xiao Yuan was a little amused when he saw this. Zi Yan threatened Xiong Zhan in front of him. Did she really think he couldn't notice it?

But since Xiong Zhan said so, it was difficult for him to refuse. At most, he could just make more pills for him.

But even so, Xiao Yuan still flicked Zi Yan's smooth forehead with his finger to tell Zi Yan that he knew her little action.

"Since Brother Xiong Zhan has said so, Xiao Yuan will not be polite. Now I have a few medicinal herbs in my hand. This is the seventh-grade high-level elixir I refined, the Nirvana Pill. It improves the quality of the body by constantly destroying and reorganizing the body. The process may be a little painful, but the effect is comparable to some low-level eighth-grade elixirs."

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xiong Zhan.

"Hey, then I won't be polite!"

Hearing this, Xiong Zhan also smiled happily. Although these herbs were very good, if he were to chew them raw to absorb the medicinal power, he didn't know how long it would take and how much would be wasted. It would be great if he could exchange them for more suitable pills from Xiao Yuan!
The medicinal herbs on this square are almost the entire Wanyao Mountains' collection. The number of varieties is enough to dazzle anyone. So even though Xiao Yuan has a strong ability to identify herbs, it still took him nearly half an hour to find three herbs.

Nine-flame ambergris, spirit berries, and crane grass.

These three kinds of medicinal herbs are Xiao Yuan’s mission this time, but at this moment, he has collected them all here. In this way, his mission is so simple and he can complete it completely without any effort!
Looking at the three rare medicinal herbs in his hand, Xiao Yuan shook his head and casually put them into his storage ring.

Although the mission was accomplished, he would not hand over the medicinal herbs.

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan focused his mind on the square again. Now, he still needed to find a special medicinal material called Gastrodia Jade Essence. This thing was the key medicinal material he used to reconcile the Earth's Soul Marrow. This thing and the Earth's Soul Marrow were definitely the best partners in the combination of medicinal materials!
This Gastrodia elata jade stone essence is not easy to find. It looks like medicine but it is not medicine, and looks like stone but it is not stone. If you are not an experienced person, it is difficult to distinguish it from a pile of rocks.

Xiao Yuan's eyes scanned the medicinal herbs in the square slowly and time passed quickly as he inspected them slowly. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. During this time, Xiong Zhan had already turned around and left the stone hall impatiently, leaving Zi Yan sitting on the stone steps, holding her cheek with her small hands, looking at Xiao Yuan's back and yawning from time to time.

In the square, Xiao Yuan's footsteps did not become impatient because of the passage of time. During this time, he also picked up some medicinal herbs for practicing Six Qi Transformations.

There is no room for indecision in identifying medicinal materials. After all, many medicinal materials look similar in appearance. If you don't take it seriously, it will be very difficult to identify them.

Only after Xiao Yuan had collected all the medicinal herbs he needed did he finally stop, and his eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous corner, where there was a green stone lying quietly in the fragrant soil.

This green stone, viewed from a distance, is indeed no different from an ordinary stone. However, when you get closer, you can find that the stone is covered with some very strange patterns, and the surface of the stone is slightly transparent. If placed in a place with strong light, you can vaguely see some viscous slurry flowing inside.

Xiao Yuan walked over, bent down, picked up the palm-sized green stone and held it in his palm.

As soon as my palm touched the green stone, I felt a warm and cool feeling. I shook it gently, and there was a subtle sound of water sloshing inside.

"This should be the Tianma Jadeite Essence!"

Xiao Yuan concentrated and examined the green stone over and over for a long time, and confirmed that this was the medicinal material he needed.

“It’s worthy of being called the Wanyao Mountain Range!”

After putting the piece of Gastrodia elata jade essence into the ring, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he were to look for these things in the outside world, it would probably take a lot of effort to get them. However, here, he just needed to bend over and look for them one by one.

After getting the last thing, Xiao Yuan turned around and looked at Zi Yan who was sitting on the stone steps at the edge of the square. He couldn't help but smile and walked over.

"Found it?" Seeing Xiao Yuan coming over, Zi Yan was also cheered up and asked hurriedly.

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Then when are you leaving?" Zi Yan asked excitedly. She had been in this Dan world for a while. Although there were many delicious foods here, it was much more boring compared to the outside world.

"Help me find a secret room. I need to refine a pill."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan frowned. He suddenly sensed that a strange and powerful soul power appeared in the Wanyao Mountains!

That does not belong to Xiao Yan, nor does it belong to Wang Yuandan.

Are there other eighth-grade alchemists in this alchemy world?
Could it be that guy?

Xiao Yuan frowned, and some things came to his mind. (End of this chapter)
