Chapter 7 Chapter Seven Potential Adversaries

In the quiet room, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. In the dark eyes, a bright light flashed past, and a breath of turbid air was spit out down his throat. With a faint light, it is obvious that after this practice, the combat energy in his body has almost improved greatly. "The energy contained in these branding poisons is really huge. Even after being refined by me several times, there is still such a considerable amount of energy left." Feeling the more powerful fighting spirit in his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but whispered muttered.

"However, energy is objective, but... it also has a price." With a wry smile, Xiao Yan shook his right hand, and a ball of cyan flame rose out. On the periphery of the flame, faint black prints churned slightly, and was finally captured by Xiao Yan. Yan was completely compressed on the middle finger. Immediately, the slender fingers became as black as ink, which looked quite strange. "Oh, the caustic poison is getting stronger..." Looking at the finger that had become darker in color, Xiao Yan smiled wryly and shook his head. He pointed his finger at the bedpost beside him, and the hard wooden pillar was immediately corroded. a hole.

"Forget it, as long as you get the Qihuan Qingling saliva, you can wake up the teacher. At that time, these problems should be solved." Staring at the finger for a long time, Xiao Yan murmured: "Although this thing is very It's dangerous, but the amount of energy absorbed from these scorching poisons in the past two days is also a lot of money. According to this level, after completely absorbing the scorching poison in Nalan Jie's body, I'm afraid it will be enough to make me reach the level of a six-star fighter. Seven Star Fighter, right?" Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yan curled his fingers slightly, the pitch black color quickly faded, and after a while, it returned to normal color.

"Crunch." When Xiao Yan withdrew his palm, the closed door was gently pushed open. Hai Bodong walked in lazily, glanced at Xiao Yan in the room, looked at his unattractive face, He couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Did you go to the Nalan family to get angry? Why don't you let me be with you next time." Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan jumped down from the bed, and said: "It's not about the burning poison. My strange fire seems to be helpless. Every time I drive away the poison for Nalan Jie, the blood in my body The caustic poison is getting thicker."

"It's getting thicker and thicker?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong was startled, then frowned and said, "If that's the case, then why should we detoxify him? I don't believe that you are such a bad person, and you seem to be with Nalan Nalan Yanran of the family is a little offended." "I want the Qihuan Qingling saliva, should we grab it by force?" Xiao Yan shrugged and said lightly. "That can't be done. Because of Nalan Yanran, the Nalan family has a very good relationship with the Yunlan sect, and their family is also very important in the imperial government. If something happens to them, the old monster of the royal family will surely take action .Do you think we have the strength to resist these two forces?" Hai Bodong smiled embarrassingly.

"That's it. If you want to get the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva now, you can only cure Nalan Jie. Although the branding poison is very dangerous, at least it doesn't seem to have caused any harm to me now." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.After Hai Bodong's analysis, he really felt a little more dignified.The Nalan family is indeed one of the three major families in the empire, and there are too many forces behind it. "It's up to you. As long as you don't sink yourself into it. I'm still waiting for you to refine the purple pill for me." Spreading his hands, Hai Bo said.

"Don't worry, as long as you collect all the medicinal materials, I will refine them for you. Although because of the Buddha's wrath and fire lotus, your soul power has been somewhat damaged. However, it should not be difficult to refine the Purple Spirit Pill." Xiao Yan walked slowly to the place Beside the table, moved away the sundries on the table, then took out the medicine cauldron from the ring, and said perfunctorily. "Hehe. Of course I have confidence in you." Nodding with a smile, Hai Bodong watched Xiao Yan's actions.Some stunned said: "You are?"

"I think you should continue to go out for a stroll. I'm going to start practicing medicine refining." Xiao Yan took out a variety of medicinal materials from the ring, and smiled at Hai Bodong. "Uh... I've only been back not long ago." Hearing this, Hai Bodong shook his head with a wry smile. After a while, seeing Xiao Yan staring at him from the side, he had no choice but to curl his lips and said, "Forget it, forget it." , you practice, I'll go out for a walk..." With that said, he turned around, opened the door unsteadily, and walked out reluctantly.He also knew that when alchemists were refining pills, they didn't like to be disturbed by people around them.

Looking at the slowly closing door, Xiao Yan then turned his attention to the medicinal cauldron in front of him, and slowly touched some medicinal materials on the table with his palm, frowning slightly, meditating, after nearly a year of He is very confident that it is not too difficult to test a third-rank pharmacist, because the fire lotus seeds he took recently have greatly increased his compatibility with Qinglian's heart fire. What a pharmacist pays most attention to is the ability to control flames, and on this point, Xiao Yan even has the confidence to compare with a fourth-rank pharmacist.

"Sigh, but even so, it is not easy to successfully win the championship of the alchemist conference. Those opponents are not easy to save money..." Sighing and shaking his head, Xiao Yan remembered Furukawa's disciple Liu Ling that I saw today, although he had never personally seen the other party make a move, but with Furukawa's ability, it is naturally impossible for the disciple he trained to be useless, and when facing him, Xiao Yan did indeed I felt the confidence in the other party's words and deeds.This kind of confidence is not pretended by force, it can only be possessed when a person really owns some capital.

Rubbing the cold medicine cauldron with his palm, Xiao Yan suddenly shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile, "Of course, I'm not an easy-going lamp. If I lose to Liu Ling in the medicine refining conference, wouldn't it mean that the teacher can't even beat Furukawa?" Can't you compare?" "This is impossible..." Breathing out slowly, Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly. After a long while, he smiled faintly, and flicked the opening of the medicine cauldron with his fingers, a wisp of blue flame rushed in quickly, and immediately With a slight muffled sound, the blue flame rose and burned in the medicine cauldron. "Let's try to refine the third-grade elixir first..." The palm moved slowly over the medicinal materials on the table, and finally stopped on a few herbs, the palm was slightly bent, and the slight suction pulled it into the palm, and then Feel free to throw it into the medicine cauldron. Staring at the medicinal materials wrapped separately by the blue flames, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. A prescription for a third-grade elixir automatically appeared in his mind. What was poured into Xiao Yan, it is naturally extremely easy to use it now. "Xingshen Pill, a third-grade elixir, can make the person who takes it more sensitive to the energy of the outside world in the state of cultivation, and the speed of absorbing energy will also increase a lot. Refining materials: Thirty-year-old Qingxin Clover , a mature Buddha Heart Fruit, a ten-year-old spirit-absorbing tree...a third-order magic core." Slowly pondering the medicinal ingredients recorded in the prescription in his mind, Xiao Yan flicked his slender fingers lightly after a while, and suddenly, the flames in the medicinal cauldron burned violently. As Xiao Yan began to refine the medicine, the temperature in the room also gradually increased, and faint smoke seeped out from the cauldron, and finally lingered in the room, making it shrouded in mist. Since it was the first time to refine this kind of elixir, Xiao Yan burned the medicinal materials without accident in the first two times, but this did not disappoint him.After all, the failure of refining the elixir is unavoidable even if Yao Lao took action himself. Therefore, after summing up the experience of failure after the ceasefire, Xiao Yan quickly mastered the heat required for the elixir, and so on. Hours later, it was finally freshly baked... Looking at the refreshing pill lying quietly in the jade bottle, Xiao Yan wiped the sweat off his forehead, smiled in satisfaction, then lit up again, and continued refining... It took an entire afternoon, and the success rate of Xiao Yan's refinement of the God Refreshing Pill was steadily increasing at a gratifying speed. Before the medicinal materials on the table were about to run out, three God Refreshing Pills had already appeared on the jade table. in the bottle. Carefully putting the jade bottle containing the three refreshing pills into the ring, the tired expression on Xiao Yan's face could hardly be concealed. After cleaning the table, he stepped headlong onto the bed with somewhat vain steps. . When Xiao Yan woke up from his deep sleep, he found that it was already the morning of the next day. He got up from the bed with his drowsy head shaking. Xiao Yan looked at the empty room, smiled wryly and shook his head. It is indeed a tiring job to make pills. , The loss of spirit is too great. After getting up, Xiao Yan washed himself briefly, and after he fully regained consciousness, he went out to face Nalan's family and began to detoxify Nalan Jie today. Although he didn't see Hai Bodong for a day, Xiao Yan didn't have any worries. With that old guy's strength, in the Jia Ma Empire, apart from those old guys and the master of the Misty Cloud Sect, I'm afraid there is no one who can fight against him. He caused too much trouble. Today's detoxification was roughly the same as the last time, and nothing special happened during the period. After detoxifying Nalan Jie, Xiao Yan was invited by him to sit around for a while in the family.While sitting idle, Nalan Yanran didn't know why, but came up with some interest and asked Xiao Yan about him.However, these questions were all resisted by Xiao Yan's indifferent face and tone of voice.As for this woman, although she seems to have changed a lot now, it is really difficult for Xiao Yan to have any good feelings for her. Where Nalan Yanran was, Liu Ling naturally followed closely behind. During the conversation between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan could feel the guy's eyes constantly glancing over, although his face was still full of smiles. He smiled and said nothing, but Xiao Yan still felt that he seemed a little upset and slightly hostile towards him, but he just shrugged his shoulders, "You are upset, it's none of my business... I dare to see the strange fire that Furukawa likes." Robbed, you, an apprentice who has not yet graduated from the master, what can make people afraid? Under Liu Ling's slightly cold gaze, Xiao Yan sat in the living room for nearly half an hour before he got up to say goodbye, and then, being sent off by Nalan Jie and the others, he walked out of the Nalan family and slowly disappeared in several places. end of sight. Looking at the disappearing Xiao Yan with slightly squinted eyes, Liu Ling turned her head to Nalan Jie, and suddenly smiled and said: "Old man, I don't know about this pharmacist named Yan Xiao, do you know his details?" "What?" Hearing this, Nalan Jie was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Mr. Yan Xiao is a distinguished guest of our Nalan family. I only care if he can expel my branding poison. As for his identity, I don't know." not give a damn about." "Young man, please be broad-minded. Don't be hostile over trivial matters. Although you are Gu He's disciple, I dare say that the teacher behind Yan Xiao is probably not weaker than Gu He. To be an enemy of such a person, but It's not a good thing..." Nalan Jie glanced at the smiling Liu Ling, and said in a meaningful low voice, with his old-fashioned gaze, he could naturally sense some of his thoughts on Xiao Yan. "Hehe, the old man was joking. I have never met Mr. Yan Xiao, so how can I be hostile to him?" His expression changed slightly, but Liu Ling was not an ordinary person, so he quickly restrained the expression on his face and glanced at him. Glancing at Nalan Yanran, whose black eyebrows were also slightly furrowed, she smiled authentically. "If that's the case, then it's good. This rock owl may not be as good as you now, but his potential is extremely huge. If there is a chance, I really want to draw him into the Nalan family." Nalan Jie said indifferently. Smiling, he stopped looking at Liu Ling with a slightly stiff face, turned around and walked towards the gate. Nalan Yanran glanced at Liu Ling who was shrugging her shoulders helplessly, and said softly, "You'd better not mess around. Grandpa also said that he is a distinguished guest of Nalan's family." Qingsi in front slowly followed Nalan Jie in front. "Yanran, after so many years, you should know my love for you..." Looking at the charming and elegant back, Liu Ling couldn't help but said, but before she could say anything, Nalan Yanran, whose back was turned to him, just waved it casually in front of her, which was as bright and clean as white jade under the sunlight. With a slender hand, he sighed: "You should know, I don't want to talk about these things now, you are so few men who can be my friend for so many years, maybe you can impress me in the future. But at least, now, I am just Treating you as an ordinary friend, I don't deny your excellence, but that has not met my requirements, my man, Nalan Yanran, is not mediocre." After she finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer, moved her lotus steps slightly, and walked away. enter the gate. "I know you have a high heart, so this time, I will use the champion of the conference to prove to you that I, Liu Ling, can match you." Looking at the charming back, a frenzy flashed in Liu Ling's eyes. The leader of the Lanzong, Nalan Yanran's status in the Jia Ma Empire is almost more noble than the princess of the empire. With the arrogance in Liu Ling's heart, it is natural that he needs to conquer this kind of woman in order to prove his excellence. "Let's talk about it after you win the championship." A faint and pleasant voice slowly came out along the gate. "Just wait..." Shrugging her shoulders, Liu Ling turned around, stared at the place where Xiao Yan disappeared before, smiled softly, and murmured in a low voice: "I will make him feel ashamed at the meeting, King of Pills!" This disciple is the most outstanding person in the Jia Ma Empire."
