Chapter 140 The transaction with Xiao Yan and Yao Lao!

"As for alchemy, I am still somewhat confident."

Yao Lao said that he was still controlling Xiao Yan's body.

After all, when entering the Holy City of the Snakemen, with two Dou Zong powerhouses by his side, if Yao Lao did not fight for him, Xiao Yan would be wiped out in no time.

Li Pingan smiled calmly: "The art of refining medicine is profound and extensive. We can discuss it later."

"The alchemy technique I learned is different from the common techniques in Douqi Continent."

These words caught Yao Lao's attention.

From the time Li Ping'an appeared on the stage till now, he has shown so many differences from the people on the Douqi Continent.

It is similar to the power of the soul, but more solid and profound.

A seventh-grade high-level elixir refined with a novel method and two unheard-of strange fires.

This almost touched the sore spot for Yao Lao. As an alchemist, with strange fire and a soul body, every aspect of Li Ping'an's performance aroused his great curiosity.

Otherwise he wouldn't have stayed with Xiao Yan.

"Then I'd like to see it for myself."

There was also a hint of pride in Yao Lao's tone. As the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou, although he was number one when those ninth-grade alchemy masters did not show up, it was enough to show his achievements in this area.

It would be strange if you didn't have arrogance.

"Masters, please come this way."

Queen Medusa has just broken through to the Dou Zong stage and now has no time to go into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation. The key thing is to entertain the two alchemy masters in front of her.

If it weren't for the Galaxy Body Tempering Pill given by Li Ping'an this time, she felt that her chances of surviving the heavenly tribulation would be greatly reduced. Even if she succeeded, there would be many sequelae.

And right now... Medusa felt the Dou Qi in her body break through and reach the second star of Dou Zong, and a smile inadvertently appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

Li Ping'an, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were invited into an ancient hall in the Holy City of Snakemen.

This place is used by the snake people to entertain distinguished guests. It has not been used for a long time because they had been fighting with several major empires around the desert.

It was opened specially now because of the arrival of the two of them.

"Two masters, are these herbs enough to try? If not, feel free to ask me. There is nothing in the Tagor Desert that we snake people cannot find."

Queen Medusa was also a decisive person. When she entertained Li Pingan and others, she arranged for Yue Mei and others to prepare the medicinal materials.

Tianshan Snow Lotus, Ice Spirit Flame Grass, Thousand-Year-Old Polygonatum, Snake Heart Fruit, Yew Vine… tens of thousands of fifth- and sixth-grade high-level medicinal herbs, and even seventh-grade materials, were sent into the hall.

It can be seen that the snake people do have a lot of collections. There are very few alchemists among humans, and there are even fewer or even no aliens like snake people. They also have poor relations with other empires, so it is difficult to find people to make pills.

On the other hand, they have lived in the desert, a sparsely populated place, for a long time, and they come into contact with many natural treasures on a daily basis.

In this way, how can the collected medicinal materials not be numerous?

Li Pingan and Yao Lao, who had seen big scenes, were fine, but Xiao Yan, whose body was controlled, couldn't help but shout out excitedly in his heart.

"There are so many medicinal herbs here. I'm so rich! If I just take a few of them home, I don't know how much they will sell for at the auction."

"Hmph, look at how ignorant you are. You are my disciple, Medicine Master. With these things, your master could easily have prepared them when he went to make pills at his peak."

Yao Lao angrily lectured Xiao Yan.

"Aren't you already at your peak?" Xiao Yan muttered.

At this time, a group of snake maids walked in from outside the hall, carrying something.

With a loud bang, they put the things on the ground.

There are actually two high-level alchemy furnaces. I wonder where they were found from.

"Not bad, not bad. You snake people are quite efficient." Li Ping'an nodded with satisfaction.

Although he used the Danhuang Treasure Cauldron, a top-grade Taoist instrument, to make pills, there was no need to make such a fuss just to exchange some ideas about alchemy.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to entrust to you snake people. If you can succeed, I will reward you well." Li Pingan said as he thought of the contents of several Doupo fan fiction books from his previous life.

"What's going on? My snake people will definitely help you!"

Queen Medusa's eyes lit up. She was worried that she had no chance to make friends with this master alchemist, so she agreed immediately.

Li Pingan said, "I would like to ask you, the Snake People, to explore the desert to see if there are any powerful and strange fire tornadoes, where there are flames everywhere and other energy residues."

"Is it Wind Fury Dragon Flame that you are looking for?!"

When he heard this, Yao Lao thought of that strange fire and nodded slightly: "The Tagor Desert has an ancient origin, and it is indeed possible that this kind of strange fire exists."

Yao Lao had this in mind when he instructed Xiao Yan to go to the desert from the beginning.

However, I didn't expect that what appeared was not the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, but the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.

"This is easy. We, the Snake People, have lived in the desert for a long time. Many of us have come into contact with the formation of fire tornadoes and along the way. Once I have any news, I will inform the master."

Queen Medusa said without hesitation that in fact, if the Wind Fury Dragon Flame had not turned into a desert storm and wandered around without an exact address, she would not have found the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire at that time.

"Okay, then leave it to you snake people." Li Pingan nodded.

"I still need to exchange some thoughts on alchemy and fire with this friend. You can leave now. Let me know when you have any news."

When he spoke, many powerful snakemen looked at Queen Medusa.

So many medicinal herbs represent a small half of the Snake People's reserves. Are we just going to leave them to two mysterious guys?

"Okay, then we'll leave first." Queen Medusa nodded, not caring about the herbs at all.

What a joke, any amount of medicinal herbs could not compare to the gains she gained from breaking through the Dou Zong realm. She felt it was worth it even if the two high-level alchemists gave these herbs for free.

Queen Medusa led a group of snake people and quickly left the hall.

Of course, she was not completely reassured. The loss of medicinal materials did not matter, but the presence of two strong men was a threat. If they had malicious intentions towards the Snake Man Holy City, it would be troublesome to destroy it.

"Yue Mei, Hua She'er, the two of you will stay outside the main hall, waiting for the orders of the two masters at any time and meeting all their requests. Do you understand?"

Queen Medusa just gave the other party a look and the other party understood what she meant.

"Yes, we understand, Your Majesty!"

Yue Mei and Hua She'er nodded respectfully, then led a group of snake people to stand and wait outside the hall.

Watching a group of snake people leaving, Yao Lao frowned slightly and said, "Young friend, why do you want to send them away?"

With his many years of experience in the mainland, it was not difficult for him to see that Li Pingan did it on purpose.

I just don't know what he was thinking.

Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were also a little nervous at this moment. They were not afraid of a thousand things, but of the unexpected. What if this person really had evil intentions?

"Is it not to your liking that I send them away?" Li Pingan said with a half-smile: "If there really is a group of snake people on the scene, and you control this kid to make medicine and communicate, it will be very troublesome."

"Sure enough, you saw through the state of both of us."

Yao Lao sighed slightly. He had expected this from the beginning.

Because the opponent's soul power is really too strong. The soul power of Tianjing's level is not much weaker than his. How could he not see through his methods when he is only a soul body left?

Now that it has been exposed, there is nothing more to say.

After discussing with Xiao Yan, Yao Lao gave the body back to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan took off his black robe and revealed his face.

He was a young man who was about the same age as Li Ping'an, with a hint of childishness on his face. His whole body was filled with determination, and he looked like a protagonist. He clasped his fists forward.

"My name is Xiao Yan, nice to meet you, Brother Li."

The reason why Xiao Yan didn't call him senior was because Li Ping'an was too young and he couldn't bring himself to say that.

"I am his master, you can call me Yao Chen." Yao Lao's soul also appeared beside him, with no intention of concealing his identity.

Considering the opponent's Dou Zong cultivation and Heavenly Realm soul, if he really had ill intentions towards them, they would probably have no way of escaping. So they might as well just be open and honest.

"I have long admired Master Yao, and this little brother Xiao Yan. He is very talented and is worthy of being Master Yao's disciple."

Li Pingan smiled faintly.

Exposing the identities of the two people was certainly not out of boredom.

He was just preparing to make a deal with the two of them, and some things could only be discussed if they were honest with each other.

Otherwise, if he came up and used the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Burning Technique, those two people would probably rather die than open their mouths and fight him to the end.

Although Xiao Yan is weak now, he does not lack backbone.

Li Ping'an is not some Tang Shenwang. If he doesn't dare to cause trouble, he is a mediocre person. There is no need to make enemies by seeking death if they can communicate normally. This is true even though the combination of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao is far from being his opponents.

"In front of a person like you, Brother Li, I can't pretend to have good talent."

There was a hint of helplessness on Xiao Yan's lips. Who was the other party? He was such a big shot, such a young Dou Zong and alchemist.

Not to mention that he wasted three years, even if Yao Lao had appeared during his peak period and trained him to this day, he would never be able to compare with Li Pingan.

Facing such a person, Xiao Yan would not take the other party's polite words seriously.

"Hahaha, there's no need to belittle yourself. Everyone has their own strengths. If you're not good enough, I don't think Master Yao will value you." Li Ping'an smiled.

That was true. Xiao Yan was just a little shocked by Li Ping'an's sudden appearance, but the three years of being a waste had already tempered him, and he quickly recovered.

Xiao Yan said, "I wonder what Brother Li wants to communicate with us."

"You have such strength, and you control two kinds of strange fire, oh no, now it's three kinds of strange fire? Your alchemy skills should not be bad either. The one that my master and I can use for you should be the Bone Spirit Cold Fire."

Xiao Yan was also very perceptive. The other party came for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but wanted to retain them, the master and disciple who had the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. His purpose was obvious.

If the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, the two would have run away long ago.

"I am indeed very interested in the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in Master Yao's hand."

Li Pingan said something that made the two of them a little wary, but then he reassured them: "But I won't take it by force. Strange Fire is not unique and can only be controlled by one person."

Yao Lao nodded slightly. At least the two of them did not trust the wrong person. The other party proved his attitude by not using direct violence.

But after thinking about it, he frowned: "My friend, are you talking about a seed fire or something like that? If you need it, I can indeed condense a seed fire for you, but it is far from comparable to the origin of the strange fire."

If the strange fire could be divided at will, it would not be so scarce and would not be so fanatically sought after by so many alchemists.

If someone who controls the strange fire can just give some of it away, then what is there to fight for?

"Who says the origin of the strange fire cannot be divided? Not only can it be divided, it can also be recreated. It is not a problem for one strange fire to become two."

Li Pingan smiled slightly. What is impossible in the Douqi Continent does not mean it is impossible in other worlds.

To put it bluntly, the strange fire is not a very advanced thing. It is formed by fire-attributed energy + some other fragments of the laws of heaven and earth and the origin of the world.

The Doupo world can produce twenty-two kinds of things, and other powerful worlds are not short of similar products.

All kinds of strange fire, true water and divine thunder in the world of immortality are collected from various vital energies between heaven and earth. They are polished in daily life, forming talisman seeds in the mind and turning into magical powers, which will naturally be inexhaustible in the future.

"One strange fire turns into two?"

Yao Lao almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly, and smiled bitterly.

"If you want my Bone Spirit Cold Fire, just say so. My master and I are no match for you anyway. But if you want to make a move, we will not sit still and wait for you to die."

Yao Lao said in a cold voice, thinking that he had misjudged the person and was ready to give it a try. His soul moved as soon as it moved and was about to possess Xiao Yan.

"Why are you in such a hurry to do it?"

"To show my sincerity, how about I take out a strange fire first?"

Li Pingan naturally knew how suspicious his words were and how they could not stand up to scrutiny, causing the other party to change his attitude drastically.

Just because it's too unrealistic.

He casually took out a ball of Danhuang Fire, a bright golden-red flame, shaped like a phoenix, with a very strong aroma of medicinal herbs and plants.

"This is the fire of the Dan Phoenix, a legacy of the ancient immortal phoenix in legend. It is used to refine elixirs. It can increase the age of herbs and medicinal materials and warm the elixir."

"If ordinary pills are left for too long, their efficacy will be lost. However, if placed in this fire, their efficacy will only increase and not decrease. There will be no problem even after a thousand or ten thousand years, and their level may even be improved."

"Is this fire enough to exchange for the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in your hand, Master Yao?"

Li Pingan held the ownerless Danhuang Fire in his hand and said lightly.

Although he had the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Prison Flame, and even the Emperor Flame in the TV drama version, these had all been refined into the Red Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi, and it would be a bit troublesome to give them out.

On the contrary, it is not as suitable as the Danhuang Fire, of which there are plenty in the Danhuang Baoding Cave Heaven, just like the entire Yellow Spring Holy River in the Yellow Spring Map in Fang Han's hand. His Danhuang Fire is also calculated according to one domain.

If it really wanted to be used to refine for people, even one hundred thousand or one million people could get one.

"This is also a test of some kind." Li Ping'an was very interested in the differences between the different worlds. Could Xiao Yan's Burning Technique be used to refine the Danhuang Fire, or was it weakened?

After listening to his introduction, the expressions of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan changed, their eyes revealed shock and a hint of desire.

This kind of flame is really suitable for alchemists. It can increase the lifespan of herbs and medicinal materials. This is the effect that only the fifth living creature flame on the list of strange fires can have. As for warming and nourishing elixirs, the effect is even more incredible.

No matter from which angle you look at it, exchanging this flame for the Bone Spirit Cold Fire is a huge profit for Yao Lao Da.

but……

“I’m sorry, although this Danhuang Fire is very precious and far more valuable to alchemists than the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, you are very sincere, and I misunderstood you.”

Yao Lao looked a little regretful, but he still said without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."
