"The ancestor of the Pill Tower?"
Xiao Yan's expression was immediately stunned when he heard Huo Zhu's words. Immediately, he laughed bitterly. The Pill Tower was a true overlord faction on the continent. The ancestor of the Pill Tower was an extraordinary existence. He had yet to even see the face of the Xiao clan, much less the ancestor of the Pill Tower. It could be said that Huo Zhu's words could not be used as a reference.
"That's right. The ancestor of the Pill Tower has once roamed the continent and has seen many secrets of the continent that others cannot find out. I believe that he will definitely know if there is a Heavenly Flame in the Middle Region. As long as you can meet him, it should not be difficult to obtain information regarding the Heavenly Flame."
Huo Zhu smiled and nodded as she spoke.
Xiao Yan could only helplessly shrug his shoulders when he heard this. He temporarily ignored this point. Regardless of whether the ancestor of the Pill Tower was aware of it, Xiao Yan admitted that he was unable to meet the ancestor of the Pill Tower. There was no need to mention anything else.
"Ugh …"
Since there was no news of other Heavenly Flames, it was likely that it would be difficult for his cultivation to increase for a long time in the future. Xiao Yan involuntarily let out a long sigh when he thought of this. Without a Heavenly Flame, how was he going to take revenge for the Little Fairy Doctor? The Du Er Sect was after all a super faction in the Middle Region with a rich foundation. As the Origin Emperor, Xu Zhen's treatment within the sect would naturally be quite good. If this continued, it was likely that Xu Zhen would become an opponent that was difficult to deal with before Xiao Yan could grow. Adding the Du Er Sect and the spiritual body within his body, all these factors caused Xiao Yan to feel a great pressure.
After this battle, the Little Fairy Doctor had died. He and the Du E Sect could be said to have reached a point where they would not rest until one of them was dead. However, these words could only be said in the current situation. If he wanted to take revenge for the Little Fairy Doctor, he would need more than just courage.
Without a Heavenly Flame, given Xiao Yan's cultivation speed, it would be difficult for him to kill Xu Zhen and take revenge even if he had another ten years.
Could it be that this was it?
Xiao Yan's heart was heavy. The only thing he could think of was the Xiao clan.
This foreign clan, which Xiao Yan still did not know what kind of relationship it had with him, might be able to become a cornerstone that would allow him to swiftly grow. However, Xiao Yan would have to wait until he arrived at the Xiao clan to see just what kind of relationship it had.
From the looks of it, the Xiao Clan wasn't completely trustworthy.
"Haha, little fellow, there's no need to be so conflicted. Although I can't find the other Heavenly Flames for now, isn't there one in front of you right now?"
Just as Xiao Yan was feeling distressed, Huo Zhu chuckled and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression was immediately startled. Then, he shook his head and smiled.
"Senior, you're flattering me. You've saved me twice. How could I dare to think about you? Moreover, you're the Great Elder of the Cloud Immortal Sect. If something were to happen to you, it would be difficult for the Cloud Immortal Sect to explain."
"Haha, this old man admires your character of being considerate. You don't need to care about what I do. The Cloud Immortal Sect will have someone to take care of it. As for you, you only need to do one thing for me."
Huo Zhu chuckled. At the same time, he took out a somewhat rusty badge from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.
When the badge entered his hand, he felt a heavy feeling. From its simple and unadorned design, one could tell that this badge was probably quite old. However, apart from this, Xiao Yan could not see anything special about it.
"Senior, this is …"
"This badge is something that this old man and an old friend made an agreement. Now that the time has come, it's time to return it to him. You only need to personally hand it to him on behalf of this old man."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart could not help but tremble slightly. Since it was something that he had made an agreement with an old friend, it was reasonable to say that Huo Zhu should personally return it. Of course, he could not easily take it in his hands. A thought flashed through his mind. Just as Xiao Yan was about to return it to Huo Zhu, the latter raised his hand and stopped him.
"I haven't seen that old friend of mine for many years. If this old man personally returns it, it's difficult to guarantee that he won't have thoughts about this old man's body. Therefore, I'll leave this badge with you for the time being. If you meet him in the future, just return it to him. Remember, that person's name is Liu Ya. If you meet him in the future, do not be careless."
At the end of his words, Huo Zhu cautiously reminded him.
When Xiao Yan heard the name Liu Ya, his heart immediately recalled that old man from the Southern Region's Liu Cang City. However, he also knew that although they had the same name, it was likely that the strength of a person who was mentioned by Huo Zhu would not be too weak. Immediately, Xiao Yan nodded gently and quietly remembered this name. At the same time, he tightly gripped the somewhat rusty badge in his hand. He hesitated for a moment before storing it into his storage ring.
Seeing Xiao Yan put the badge into his Storage Ring, Huo Zhu nodded and then changed the topic with a smile.
"By the way, you haven't answered this old man's question. Do you know what is ranked first on the Heavenly Cloud Saint Weapon List?"
Previously, he was so focused on asking about the Heavenly Flame that he directly ignored Huo Zhu's words. Now that he heard it again, the expression on Xiao Yan's face could not help but be startled. Only then did his gaze return to the black stone tablet in front of him. The first position was clearly empty, but in that case, why did Huo Zhu ask such a question?
After a long while, Xiao Yan could only shake his head with a bitter smile. He cupped his hands towards the old man in front of him and said respectfully.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
Huo Zhu parted his mouth and smiled when he heard this. His turbid old eyes once again looked at the stone tablet behind him. Immediately, he slowly raised his head and looked at the blue sky above his head. Xiao Yan followed his head and looked into the distance. After which, he exchanged glances with Huo Zhu. Xiao Yan involuntarily raised his eyebrows when he saw the expression in Huo Zhu's eyes that contained a deep meaning.
"It's the sky?!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Zhu pursed his lips and smiled, but did not explain further. Just as Xiao Yan was filled with doubts, he said.
"Alright, this old man will say this much for now. I believe that you will find out what exactly it is in the future. It has been two months and you should have a good rest. It will not be too late to look for this old man after you have made all the necessary preparations."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids and nodded slightly. Only then did he bow and cup his hands towards the old man and leave.
Looking at Xiao Yan's leaving figure, Huo Zhu could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at the black stone tablet in front of him again. There was a strange light in his eyes.
A moment later, when Xiao Yan returned to his residence, he found that Xiao Jin was waiting for him alone. When he entered the door, Xiao Yan was surprised to see that Xiao Jin was holding two energy crystals emitting purple light in his hands at this moment …
