After nearly a month of excitement, the vast sea of people around the square finally dispersed with the end of the Alchemy Conference. But even so, the whole city was still lingering in that exciting atmosphere. The intensity of this Alchemy Conference was far beyond everyone's expectations, and Xiao Yan's amazing performance also made the audience amazed and feasted their eyes.
Amid the hustle and bustle, the night quietly enveloped this huge and unusually bustling city. In the brightly lit city, people were still coming and going on the streets. Almost everyone was discussing the champion of this Alchemy Conference, the young man named Xiao Yan who had created a miracle that was enough to be recorded in the history of Danta.
The slightly unfamiliar name before was now completely imprinted in everyone's minds, and they also knew that it might not take too long for this name to be resounding throughout Zhongzhou.
By then, he will be the most dazzling young star in Zhongzhou.
While the whole city was still in a state of excitement, many contestants, who had been refining pills for nearly a month, seemed to be exhausted. They fled back to their own residences in a panic, and then fell asleep like dead dogs.
This does not include Xiao Yan. Although this time of alchemy almost consumed Xiao Yan's soul, the Great Soul-Returning Pill refined by Xiao Yuan not only restored his soul to its best condition, but even due to this consumption and replenishment, Xiao Yan's soul power increased a little. It can be said that his spirit is now in great shape!
Xiao Yixian and the others were also aware of Xiao Yan's tiredness at the moment, so no one came to disturb him and allowed him to sleep peacefully.
By the time Xiao Yan gradually woke up from his sleep, the sky had been completely shrouded in darkness. Faintly, he could still hear the excited conversation and laughter coming from outside.
However, considering that other contestants still needed to rest, Xiao Yan also returned to the Dan Tower, to Xuan Yi's yard, to rest for a while.
As for Xiao Yuan, he went to Yeyuan to bring Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan to the Dan Tower.
After coming out of the Dan Realm, Xiao Yuan gave Zi Yan the spatial coordinates of Ye Yuan and asked her and Xiong Zhan to stay there temporarily.
After all, if Zi Yan were to travel through space directly into Danta, it would inevitably attract the attention of the three giants, and some troubles would be inevitable. It would be a problem with Xuan Yi, after all, their relationship was close enough now, but she still had to be polite to Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi.
Zi Yan's return made Xiao Yixiang and Yun Yun quite happy. They also missed this lovely little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.
Cai Lin also had a good impression of her, but Tang Huoer almost had some misunderstandings with Zi Yan at the beginning because of the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire.
Zi Yan doesn't like strange fire very much because her original body is a demon beast. She is not averse to the strange fire of alchemists like Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan who can refine sugar beans and are nice to her.
Tang Huoer was also under pressure because of the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire. After all, Zi Yan's true form was the supreme being in the world of Warcraft, the Taixu Ancient Dragon. After seeing the Taixu Ancient Dragon, the dragon soul in the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire was somewhat suppressed due to its bloodline.
This made Xiao Yuan feel a little amused, but after knowing that Tang Huoer could barely refine the herbs into pills, Zi Yan actually developed a great liking for Tang Huoer.
Xiong Zhan was originally a bit arrogant, thinking that he was, after all, an eighth-level magical beast with dragon blood, and therefore had extremely strong combat power.
But he saw Cai Lin, whose true form was the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, the Little Medical Fairy whose strength reached the Dou Zun level, the Skyfire Zun whose depth was so deep that he couldn't even tell, and Xiao Yan, the alchemist who had refined the eighth-grade Nine-Colored Thunder Pill.
And these people almost all obey Xiao Yuan's orders.
Even that little girl followed Xiao Yuan around like a follower every day.
Xiong Zhan: "I have become honest."
After spending two days of peaceful rest, Xiao Yan followed Xiao Yuan to a hall on the top floor.
"come in."
As soon as the two arrived at the door, Xuan Kongzi's faint laughter was heard from inside.
Hearing this, they pushed the door open and walked in. With a glance, they saw many figures standing in the hall, including Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Song Qing and others. In addition, there were three figures at the first position, who were the three giants of Danta.
As soon as Xiao Yan entered the hall, all eyes were focused on him. Xiao Yan, who won the Alchemy Competition, could be considered a member of the Alchemy Tower in a sense. Moreover, the status of that candidate was not low. Even ordinary elders had to be polite when they saw him.
"Haha, our champion is here."
Seeing Xiao Yan, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but smile and teased.
Xiao Yan smiled somewhat embarrassedly, took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Cao Ying and the others, then respectfully saluted Xuan Kongzi and the other two with his fists clasped.
"You'd better not use your medicine-making skills anymore. If Xiao Yuan hadn't backed you up, even if you succeeded, you would have to stay in bed for a month."
Xuan Yi suddenly spoke.
"Yes, I understand. This time the situation is special. I won't do it again next time."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Okay, now that you are all here, let's get down to business." Speaking of business, Xuan Kongzi's expression became much more solemn, and he said slowly: "The day after tomorrow, the star field will be opened, and you will enter it to subdue the Three Thousand Flames.
That star field is a space that the three of us tore apart together, and added a powerful seal to hide it in the starry sky, and the Three Thousand Flames were also sealed within it. "
Upon hearing the news related to the Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Yan's spirits immediately perked up and he listened attentively.
"Because of the long-term seal, the Three Thousand Flames have great resentment towards Danta, especially the three of us. If it is freed from the seal, it will definitely retaliate."
Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice.
“When the star field was opened, the three of us had to maintain the seal of the star field, so we couldn’t enter it. However, after a long time, the Three Thousand Flames grew to an extremely terrifying level.
We have invited you here to give you an extra layer of insurance. If any unexpected situation occurs, you can immediately crush this bead, and the strong men of Danta will quickly come to your aid."
As Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, four jade beads flew out from his sleeves and then floated in front of Xiao Yan and the other three.
After taking the jade bead, Xiao Yan nodded slowly. He was determined to obtain the Three Thousand Flames!
After briefly discussing some matters regarding the opening of the star field with Xuan Kongzi and others, Xiao Yan and his party left the hall.
Xiao Yuan was left in the hall.
After leaving the hall, Xiao Yan did not stay for too long, but turned around and walked towards the passage. However, just as he took a step, a graceful figure appeared in front of him with a gust of fragrant wind. Xiao Yan was startled, and then smiled:
"What's the matter? Miss Cao Ying, is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's on the way, let's go together."
Cao Ying smiled sweetly, her delicate face revealing a touching charm. This woman was like a vixen who brought disaster to the country and the people. Her every smile and frown was enough to drive some men crazy.
However, Xiao Yan felt that this evil woman was really difficult to deal with. But she was smiling and was also a disciple of Senior Xuan Kongzi, so it was not easy for him to speak badly to her. For a moment, he felt a headache.
While Xiao Yan was struggling internally, Song Qing beside him smiled and said, "Ying'er, Brother Xiao Yan always has a lot of things to do. It just so happens that the star field will be opened in two days, so we should make preparations early."
"Well, Brother Song has a point." Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded quickly. He really didn't want to get too close to this enchantress Cao Ying. Since Song Qing wanted to come up to him, he might as well push it to him.
However, before Xiao Yan finished speaking, the charming smile on Cao Ying's face suddenly disappeared, and she said coldly: "Are we familiar with each other? Why are you calling me so intimately? It makes me feel sick to say even a word to someone like you who just walked away in a time of crisis. Stay away from me."
After hearing what Cao Ying said, Song Qing froze for a moment, and his face turned as green as pig liver.
"Are you going?"
Cao Ying turned her beautiful eyes towards Xiao Yan and glared at him fiercely. It seemed that if Xiao Yan made another excuse, this evil woman would probably get furious.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly and cast a look of pity towards Song Qing. Although he despised the latter's act of abandoning his companions in a critical moment, the treatment he was receiving now was quite sympathetic!
Live it!
However, this evil woman seemed to have really let herself go. If she could meet Xun'er in the future, the problem would naturally be solved.
Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly at Cao Ying, then turned and walked towards his residence. Cao Ying smiled and followed him. Song Qing's face turned red when he heard her soft and gentle laughter. He looked at the two people's receding backs with an uncertain expression. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked away with a gloomy face.
"Tsk tsk tsk, young people are full of energy."
In the hall, Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.
"You old fellow are really good at taking advantage of others."
Xuan Yi curled his lips and said, "It's because I don't have any female disciples, otherwise it wouldn't be his turn."
Tian Lei Zi's words were shocking.
"Hiss, I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would say something like this?"
Xuan Kongzi widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
"But looking at Xiao Yan's expression, it might be difficult."
Tian Leizi continued.
"Then it's not my concern. Cao Ying will find a way herself."
Xuan Kongzi spread his hands and said easily.
"Ms. Cao Ying is indeed very outstanding, but my brother can only accommodate one person in his heart. It is probably not easy to squeeze in a second person, especially at this moment. It is even more difficult."
Xiao Yuan said with a faint smile.
"Haha, I heard that you have brought another confidante into Danta?"
Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.
"a friend."
Xiao Yuan said frankly.
At least he was really not interested in the little girl version of Zi Yan.
"Tsk, Yao Chen said back then that they were all friends, but in the end he ended up being free all by himself, leaving those beauties suffering."
Xuan Kongzi said with some uncertainty after hearing this.
"You old fellow, how can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao could no longer hold back and flew out of the storage ring.
"hehe."
Xuan Kongzi smiled but said nothing.
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
Xuan Yi shook his head helplessly, and then his expression became serious.
"Xiao Yuan, I know that you and Yao Chen both hope that Xiao Yan can recover the Three Thousand Flames, but this is not an easy task. If we really cannot recover it successfully, I am afraid we will have to try to separate its original fire and seal it separately. But in that case, there will inevitably be a big battle. Can your friend who is a Seven-Star Dou Zun help us a little?"
Xuan Yi asked seriously.
"That's no problem, but I still have confidence in Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yuan touched his chin and said with a smile.
"Have you chosen the sealing location? If it is still sealed in the star field, I am afraid similar problems will arise sooner or later."
Yao Lao naturally understood the interests involved. With three old friends at the peak of Dou Zun level around, Xiao Yan would not be in any danger of life even if he failed to recover the strange fire.
But if these three thousand flames were to break through the seal, there would probably be huge trouble.
"It is sealed in the Dan Tower!"
Xuan Kongzi said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Is this imitating Canaan College?
"Why not just grab the original fire and let Xiao Yan devour it, and then we can save the trouble of sealing it."
Xiao Yuan proposed with great audacity.
"Okay, okay, let the three of us work for him, right?"
Xuan Kongzi's old face turned dark and he couldn't help but glare at Xiao Yuan.
"I'll exchange it for the recipe of the Soul-Boosting Pill!"
Xiao Yuan said.
"If it really comes to that, Xiao Yan is the champion of the Alchemy Conference and such a young eighth-grade high-level alchemist. It's not impossible for us to cultivate him a little."
Xuan Kongzi's expression became serious and he spoke righteously.
"How shameless."
Tian Leizi said from the side.
"We are all our own people, why are you so polite!"
Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.
"Yao Chen, you are a really good disciple."
When Tian Lei Zi saw Xuan Kong Zi's expression, he was a little amused and helpless.
"Haha, the disciple is better than the master."
Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Then I'll have to ask Senior Xuankongzi and Senior Tianleizi for help."
Xiao Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"What do you mean by please or not? I am here to train the younger generation, and I have no choice but to do it!"
Xuan Kongzi waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Yuan didn't need to be polite.
"Don't worry, even if I don't have the recipe, I'm willing to help you out for Yao Chen's sake."
Tian Lei Zi glanced at Xuan Kong Zi and said lightly.
"Hmm? What's with that look in your eyes?
Xuan Kongzi frowned, feeling that he was being despised.
"Haha, it's nothing."
Tian Leizi still spoke in a calm tone.
"Ahem, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I'll help him prepare something else."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan immediately bowed and quickly stood up to say goodbye. (End of this chapter)
