Xiao Yan was seated cross-legged in the quiet stone room. At this moment, there was a completely crimson Lingzhi Mushroom in the empty space in front of him. Its fiber lines were just like tree bark. It was slowly suspended in the air. A dark red flame wrapped around the medicinal ingredient, sealing the majestic energy within it that was about to dissipate.
Eyeing the 'Flame Ganoderma' in front of him, Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air. The emotions in his chest were complicated. A long while later, he finally hardened his gaze. He opened his mouth and a cluster of dark-red flame was spat out. With a twist of his wrist, the flame carried a bright tail that immediately wrapped around the 'Flame Ganoderma' in front of him. The instant the temperature exploded, a wave of pure and enormous mysterious energy suddenly erupted.
The raging flames continued to rise under Xiao Yan's control, causing the space in the stone room to rapidly dry up.
The scarlet-red body of the Flame Lingzhi Mushroom grew increasingly dark and rich under the Heavenly Fire. Once the energy within was extracted, it would be the best time for Xiao Yan to devour and absorb it.
"As expected of the Fire Banyan Clan's ultimate treasure. This Flame Lingzhi Mushroom's resistance to fire is truly incomparable to ordinary herbs!"
In the blink of an eye, nearly a day had passed. Xiao Yan could not help but exclaim in surprise when he saw that the Flame Lingzhi Mushroom had not undergone much change.
After a long period of high temperature refinement, the wrinkles on the Flame Lingzhi Mushroom's surface were still clearly visible. Although the original scarlet-red color of the Lingzhi Mushroom had almost turned black, overall, not much had changed.
One must know that given the power of Xiao Yan's fusion of several Heavenly Fires, it would take him at most two to three days to refine nearly a thousand high tier herbs. However, the Flame Lingzhi Mushroom had only undergone a slight change in color after being burned by the Heavenly Fire for a long time. This was simply unimaginable.
"Ch ch ch ch …"
Under Xiao Yan's all-out refinement without sparing any of his Genesis Qi, the Flame Lingzhi's outer appearance, which had already turned pitch-black, finally gradually cracked apart amidst a wave of black smoke on the evening of the third day. A clear cracking sound was like that of an exploding rock. When the outer shell fell off, it turned into nothingness within the Heavenly Flame. Soon after, a cluster of extremely pure pale-yellow energy appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
"I've finally succeeded!"
Looking at the Flame Lingzhi in front of him that was about to break apart, Xiao Yan's face was filled with joy and he could not help but heave a long sigh of relief. As the flame gradually disappeared, one could see that Xiao Yan's face was already somewhat pale. It could be seen that he had already gone all out in order to refine the Flame Lingzhi during these three days.
Xiao Yan's finger gently touched the pale-yellow energy cluster. Immediately, a warm aura that seeped into one's heart assaulted Xiao Yan's mind. That kind of strange feeling caused Xiao Yan's pale-white face to recover greatly in an instant. Xiao Yan involuntarily praised in his heart. After which, he ceased hesitating. He widened his mouth and a suction force immediately surged out, swallowing this cluster of energy into his stomach.
The energy sank into his stomach and reached his lower abdomen. Soon after, a wave of warm energy swiftly spread throughout his body, spreading to his limbs and bones. That kind of feeling reached his soul. His entire body suddenly felt comfortable, causing Xiao Yan to have the impulse to roar towards the sky.
"Hah!"
An explosive cry that was mixed with a vigorous energy aura continuously reverberated within the secret room. Xiao Yan's body trembled comfortably under the enrichment of this energy. Only after a long while did everything gradually return to calmness. The absorption of the Flame Lingzhi could be considered to be on the right track.
One month later.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and concentrated. His mind sunk into his sea of consciousness and merged into the Soul Bead. A cluster of pure milky-white Soul Essence surfaced within his mind.
Observing this Soul Essence that did not seem to have any changes compared to before, Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly stunned. In a month's time, the refining and absorption of the Flame Lingzhi had long ended. Xiao Yan's body had become a little stronger under the nourishment of the energy. His Spiritual Strength had also increased. However, this Soul Essence and the so-called Body of Origin did not seem to have any clear manifestation.
Of course, as for the legend that the Soul Essence would not be damaged or destroyed unless one was on the brink of death, Xiao Yan was naturally not stupid enough to experience it.
However, in the following refining process, with the addition of the Flame Lingzhi to his Spiritual Strength, the refining of elixirs had indeed become a lot smoother. Unknowingly, Xiao Yan's success rate in refining Rank 7 High Grade Elixirs had become higher and higher.
While Xiao Yan was immersed in improving his alchemy skills, the elites of the younger generation in the Xiao Clan had also left the clan one after another to experience the world. Although the relationship between the Xiao Clan and the Bai Clan had become increasingly tense, the younger generation was not willing to see Xiao Yan continue to grow while they did not improve. Moreover, even if it was for the sake of the confrontation between the Xiao Clan and the Bai Clan, it was still necessary for them to increase their strength.
On the other side, Xiao Dingtian, Xiao Gan, Xiao Jinghong and the others, who usually held high positions in the clan, had become silent. Currently, they had lost their authority in the clan and could only quietly retire in the mountains with the status of ordinary elders. The current Xiao Clan was no longer a place where they could interfere.
In Tianyang City, the An Clan relied on the authority given by Xiao Xuan to change with each passing day. The An Clan's reputation in the Xiao Clan grew higher and higher.
On the other hand, the Zhao Clan in Liyang City no longer had the backing of the three great chiefs. In addition to the estrangement between Zhao Jin and Xiao Yan, the Zhao Clan's influence was already gone. Now, they were quietly curled up in Liyang City. There was almost no news about them in the outside world …
The green-gold medicinal cauldron stood in the dimly lit stone room. The heavy feeling it gave off was like a towering mountain, causing the atmosphere in the stone room to become a little heavier.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was holding a scroll in his hand in front of this medicinal cauldron. When he slowly opened it, the words that contained a clear golden glow were also reflected in his eyes.
"Earth Spirit Quenching Flame Pill, high grade rank 7. There is a certain chance of assisting a Source Sect expert to break through to the first star level. For alchemists, there is an extremely high chance of tempering their own flames, increasing the might of their flames. Refining this pill requires a total of four hundred and sixty-seven medicinal ingredients. The main ingredient is … Fire Banyan Branch."
A trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes as he read the various descriptions of the medicinal pill on the scroll. The corners of his mouth gradually lifted into a smile when he saw that the main ingredient was a Fire Banyan Branch. Currently, all the Fire Banyan Branches in the Flowing Fire Plains were in his hands. Fortunately, this pill formula had landed in his hands. If it was someone else, they would be powerless even if they wanted to.
Various thoughts flashed across Xiao Yan's mind as he kept the pill formula. With a flick of his finger, a raging Heavenly Flame immediately rose from within the medicinal cauldron. Soon after, his finger moved and rays of light immediately flew out. Soon after, they transformed into stalk after stalk of rarely seen medicinal ingredients. Under the control of his Spiritual Strength, they were thrown into the Luo Tian Cauldron.
