The next day
The short and long night passed by quietly. When the last star in the western sky disappeared, a white light appeared on the horizon in the east.
The white light appeared dim, but it caused the darkness to compromise. As the white light grew increasingly intense, the darkness also scattered. Finally, a fiery red sun slowly rose into the sky, as though it had just woken up from a deep slumber. It carried a weary feeling.
Feeling the warm temperature on his back, Xiao Yan slowly woke up from his training state. An entire night of training did not cause Xiao Yan to feel even the slightest bit tired. On the contrary, it caused Xiao Yan to feel even more energetic.
Standing up, Xiao Yan pulled out the Heavy Xuan Buster Sword that was stuck in the crevice of a rock. As the rock fragments scattered, Xiao Yan carried the Heavy Xuan Buster Sword on his back. He pushed off the rock with the tip of his foot and leaped forward slightly. His black robe fluttered in the wind. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already appeared in the sky a hundred feet away.
…
During the journey, Xiao Yan did not forget to use his Spiritual Energy to search the mountain forest below. This time, other than trying his luck to find the Flame Crystals, he also wanted to find some medicinal ingredients to refine Emperor Grade Elixir Pills.
Looking at the medicinal ingredients left in Xiao Yan's Storage Ring, there were only a few that could be used to refine Emperor Grade Elixir Pills. With Xiao Yan's current alchemy skills, these medicinal ingredients were not enough for Xiao Yan to refine an Emperor Grade Elixir Pill.
Therefore, he had to collect more medicinal ingredients. Only through repeated failures could Xiao Yan gain more experience and increase his success rate of refining Emperor Grade Elixir Pills.
Although this kind of search was not easy, Xiao Yan had finally obtained a couple of medicinal ingredients that he needed after experiencing a couple of big battles.
On a certain mountain peak, Xiao Yan gazed at the endless mountain range in the west. After a month of travel, Xiao Yan was about to reach the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range.
Although Xiao Yan had yet to enter that place, he had already clearly sensed a couple of powerful auras from the probing of his Spiritual Strength. This involuntarily caused Xiao Yan's face to reveal a grave expression. If he guessed correctly, the owners of those few auras were likely Magical Beasts at the level of nine star Ban Di!
"Tsk tsk … this Xilin Mountain Range is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Who knows how long these Magical Beasts have existed. Their cultivation has actually reached such a level. It's hard to imagine what the interior of the Xilin Mountain Range is like."
Xiao Yan gazed at the direction of the auras in front of him and could not help but exclaim.
At the same time Xiao Yan sensed those auras, they also sensed Xiao Yan's senses.
"Hmm? Humans? Go back to where you came from. Don't disturb our cultivation. This is not a place that you can casually step into. "
Deep within the mountain range, an indifferent voice echoed out. In the end, it landed in Xiao Yan's ears. The power contained within those words caused Xiao Yan to involuntarily furrow his brows.
Seemingly having seen through Xiao Yan's strength, the attitude of the person who spoke was not overbearing. His indifferent voice was only advising Xiao Yan to leave on his own accord.
Xiao Yan only smiled in a relaxed manner after hearing the meaning behind the words. He immediately cupped his hands in the direction of those few people and said with a smile, "Everyone, please don't worry.
"I'm only passing by your precious land and wish to borrow a path. If I've disturbed you in any way, please forgive me!"
"Brat, I can see that it's not easy for you to cultivate and I don't want to kill you. I advise you to turn back now and leave the Xilin mountain range. As for passing by, you should take a detour. Otherwise, don't blame us for bullying you."
This time, the indifferent voice had become somewhat stern and fierce. A tyrannical feeling was also revealed within it. However, Xiao Yan's expression remained indifferent. The smile at the corners of his mouth gradually disappeared and a determined expression was revealed on his handsome face.
Although the other party was a nine star Half Emperor, he had no choice but to borrow this path. Currently, the time was not right and he did not want to so easily encounter the four great sects. Therefore, if he wanted to head to the Western Desolated Region, he had to pass through the Xilin mountain range no matter what.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan sat down with an indifferent expression. With a wave of his hand, a scarlet red medicinal cauldron immediately appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
It was the Thousand Beast Cauldron!
In order to not attract too much trouble for himself, Xiao Yan could only temporarily use the Thousand Beast Cauldron. After all, the Luotian Divine Cauldron was ranked second on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. Its allure was really too frightening. If Xiao Yan really took out the Luotian Divine Cauldron and it was discovered, not only would the Xilin mountain range, even the entire Western Region would become lively.
With a flick of his finger, a strand of gorgeous Heavenly Flame shot into the medicinal cauldron. With a 'puff', the Heavenly Flame rose and the temperature within the medicinal cauldron also rose.
After doing all this, Xiao Yan's hands did not stop moving. With a large wave of his hand, light flickered between his fingers and stalk after stalk of medicinal ingredients that contained a rich medicinal fragrance rushed into the air.
Xiao Yan's ten fingers continuously flicked and stalk after stalk of medicinal ingredients seemed to have received an order as they were rapidly thrown into the medicinal cauldron in front of Xiao Yan. With the refinement of the Heavenly Flame, the medicinal energy within was also refined.
…
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already sat cross-legged on this mountain peak for half a month. During this half a month, the medicinal ingredients within Xiao Yan's medicinal cauldron had been destroyed no less than five times. Those medicinal ingredients that were destroyed were usually existences that had a price but no market in the outside world.
After seeing the medicinal ingredients in his medicinal cauldron being swallowed by the Heavenly Flame five times in a row, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a heartache in his heart. Among those medicinal ingredients, other than a portion that he had obtained from the Alchemist Association in the Ancient Savage City, the majority of them were painstakingly obtained in the Xilin mountain range. Now that they had been turned into ashes by the Heavenly Flame with a 'puff', no matter who it was, they would feel heartache.
Of course, although he felt heartache, Xiao Yan had also gained quite a lot of experience from his repeated failures. These experiences would ensure that Xiao Yan would greatly reduce the chances of failure in refining pills in the future. Although this was on the premise that Xiao Yan had destroyed quite a number of medicinal ingredients, the benefits that Xiao Yan had gained from this would last for the rest of his life.
After nearly two months of hard work, Xiao Yan had finally successfully attracted two Pill Lightnings.
The appearance of the two Pill Lightnings gave Xiao Yan even greater confidence in refining Di tier medicinal pills. The Northern King's strength had once again increased with the help of the two Pill Lightnings. Even though this increase was not great, in Xiao Yan's opinion, it was still something worth celebrating.
…
In the end, Xiao Yan had stayed in the outskirts of the Xilin mountain range for half a year. In this half a year, other than recovering his exhausted Dou Qi, Xiao Yan had also wholeheartedly devoted himself to refining pills.
Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard. After half a year of tempering, Xiao Yan already had a seventy percent confidence in his success rate in refining Di tier medicinal pills. Among alchemists of the same level, this was already something that Xiao Yan could be very proud of.
At the same time that Xiao Yan's alchemy skills were crazily increasing, his strength as a five star Half Martial Emperor had also been completely consolidated. He was only a step away from reaching the middle stage of the five star Half Martial Emperor realm. The harvest of both his alchemy skills and strength was undoubtedly the happiest thing that had happened to Xiao Yan in the past half a year.
As for the Northern King, after experiencing a total of eight Pill Lightnings, his strength had already reached the peak of the late stage of the nine star Half Martial Emperor realm. There was not much difference between him and a true Dou Di. It was just that Xiao Yan did not know what kind of scene it would be if the Northern King really stepped into the Dou Di realm one day. Would he also attract a Lightning Tribulation like a living person?
Of course, before that happened, Xiao Yan naturally had no idea.
After resting for a night, Xiao Yan slowly withdrew from his training state in the morning. The past half a year did not leave anything on Xiao Yan's face. If there was anything, it would be a mature charm that was even more attractive.
Xiao Yan gently exhaled and stood up. Following the sound of bones colliding, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head. His gaze once again looked toward the mountain range in the distance. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile. With a move of his body, he flew toward the west.
