During the next few days, Xiao Yan continued to stay within Tian Ying's cave dwelling. Murong Qianqian and the Tian Ying trio had also temporarily undertaken a retreat due to their injuries. Only Xiao Yan remained within this extravagant cave dwelling.
There was a stone platform suspended within the misty fog. Xiao Yan was seated cross-legged on it. Both of his hands formed a training seal. The Flame Art Qi Method within his body was swiftly circulating. Wave after wave of powerful natural energy swiftly gathered towards Xiao Yan.
This stone platform was originally the stone platform that Tian Ying usually used for training. Since it had been chosen by him, the natural energy gathered around this stone platform was naturally extremely dense. Following Tian Ying's retreat, this place was taken advantage of by Xiao Yan.
After a period of training, Xiao Yan once again opened his eyes. His aura had also reached its peak condition. Xiao Yan's seated body moved slightly. He could even sense a faint energy ripple spreading from the empty space around him.
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air. He stretched his body a little. Immediately, he began to measure his battle with the Tian Ying trio.
The Sky Absolute Step had reached the advanced Wind Movement stage. It must be said that this was a great help to the current Xiao Yan.
With the Sky Absolute Step, there was definitely no one below the Dou Di class who could compare with Xiao Yan's speed. Additionally, Xiao Yan's frightening fighting strength had surpassed his own. Just like how the big battle with the Tian Ying trio had reflected, Xiao Yan no longer feared anyone below the Dou Di class. This time around, he could completely rely on his own strength. There was even no need for the Northern King to intervene.
It must be said that the current Xiao Yan was already not inferior to a nine star Ban Di just by relying on his own fighting strength!
Of course, even though this was the case, Xiao Yan's heart still contained an incomparable pressure. After all, what he was about to face was not as simple as a mere Ban Di. Within the four great sects, there were many nine star Ban Di and there was no lack of genuine elite Dou Di. If he was unable to raise his strength as soon as possible, relying on his fighting strength alone would not be a long-term solution. Hence, only true strength would be able to help Xiao Yan avoid a calamity!
If he wanted to obtain strength as quickly as possible, there was only one path he could take.
The Ice Spirit Pill!
Although Xiao Yan did not wish to lose Gu You, who had accompanied him for many years like a teacher and friend, it was just as Gu You had said. This was his responsibility. Even Xiao Yan could not shirk it.
"Ugh …"
Xiao Yan sighed softly with a complicated emotion. Only then did he stand up. He thought for a moment in his heart before his body moved and flew out of the Sky Eagle's mansion.
… …
A short moment later, Xiao Yan's body had already appeared in front of a volcano.
The height of this volcano was not any lower than Tian Ying's mountain. The area within a few hundred kilometres of this volcano was bright red in colour. Magma flowed out from the cracks around the volcano, turning into a magma river that slowly flowed into the distance. Occasionally, there would be a cluster of huge bubbles surging out from the magma. After which, they would explode and release a hot gas, causing the temperature of this place to become increasingly frightening.
Standing above the mouth of the volcano, Xiao Yan was still able to sense the frightening temperature and wild and violent energy contained within the magma despite being a thousand feet away.
Of course, this was naturally not worth mentioning to Xiao Yan. He, who possessed a Heavenly Flame, was completely indifferent to this little bit of magma placed in front of him. Even the bottom of the magma, which appeared impossible for others to enter, was like an uninhabited place to Xiao Yan.
That's right. The objective of Xiao Yan's trip this time around was to reach the bottom of this volcano.
More accurately speaking, it should be the Flame Lion at the bottom of this volcano.
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth slowly revealed a smile as he looked at the volcano below. After which, his body moved and he had already appeared above the hot magma in a lightning-like manner.
Xiao Yan once again smiled as he looked at the hot magma under his feet. He waved his large hand and the Heavenly Flame in his palm emitted a 'puff' sound as it rose. A thought passed through his mind and the Heavenly Flame also began to churn. At the same time, the hot magma under Xiao Yan's feet swiftly parted, opening a straight path for Xiao Yan to head downwards.
Xiao Yan ceased hesitating. His body moved and the Sky Extinction Step was instantly used. His body swiftly rushed down towards the bottom of the magma.
A long while later, Xiao Yan directly flew a distance of nearly ten thousand feet towards the bottom of the magma. Only then did a glaring Dou Qi light barrier appear in front of Xiao Yan's eyes.
"I've arrived …"
With a smile in his heart, Xiao Yan's descending speed suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared outside of the light barrier.
At this moment, the Flame Lion, who was training cross-legged at a certain spot within the light barrier, also sensed Xiao Yan's aura. Immediately, he involuntarily frowned slightly and withdrew from his training state. Only then did a thought pass through his mind. At the same time, the Dou Qi light barrier in front of Xiao Yan automatically parted to form a path that only one person could pass through. Xiao Yan took a step forward and entered it.
"Ha ha, it is unexpected that brother Xiao Yan would actually come to this boring and vexed place of mine. May I know what advice you have for me?"
The Flame Lion's deep and bold laughter was immediately transmitted over like thunder the moment they met.
The Flame Lion was a straightforward person. After a couple of clashes, he had not only treated Xiao Yan as an expert of the same level but also as a friend. Hence, he was naturally not as restrained as he was at the beginning when he spoke to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan did not dislike the Flame Lion's tone. Instead, he felt that this would allow him to get along better with the latter.
After laughing a few times in response to the latter, Xiao Yan finally inhaled a deep breath of air. He lifted his gaze to look at the Flame Lion in front of him and said with a smile,
"Haha, that's right. As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple without a reason. The reason why I have come this time is indeed because I need old brother Flame Lion's help."
Hearing Xiao Yan call him old brother, the Flame Lion immediately felt a wave of comfort in his heart. He laughed loudly and said,
"Since there is something, brother Xiao Yan can just say it. Moreover, young miss has also said that as long as you can bring it up and we can do it, we will definitely help! Hahahaha! "
Seeing this, Xiao Yan could not help but laugh once again. However, the expression on his face quickly recovered. After musing for a moment, Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air and said,
"From what I can see, old brother Flame Lion's flame energy is blessed by nature. I think that this volcano should have quite a long history …"
Xiao Yan's words paused for a moment. The Flame Lion nodded his head and indicated for Xiao Yan to continue.
"Therefore, I want to ask if old brother Flame Lion has the few things that I need."
Hearing this, the Flame Lion's eyebrows involuntarily twitched. Immediately, he smiled in relief. His hands were placed on his waist as he laughed loudly at Xiao Yan.
"Haha, I have almost forgotten. Brother Xiao Yan is an alchemist. Since that is the case, brother Xiao Yan can just say whatever you want. I don't have anything else here, but as long as it is of the fire attribute, whether it is medicinal ingredients that are over a thousand years old or flame crystals that are a few hundred years old, I can easily find a few of them for you!"
"Hee hee, it is not that I am boasting to you. As long as you can name it, I guarantee that I can basically take it out for you. In terms of medicinal ingredient storage, hee hee, even if Tian Ying and Xiong Gang were to add up, they would not necessarily have as much as me. Haha!"
After boasting, the Flame Lion's face actually revealed a proud expression. Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately sighed in relief. Although he had come with a goal this time around, he did not dare to guarantee that the few things that he was looking for would really be found here by the Flame Lion. However, hearing the latter's words at this moment, a little excitement surged in Xiao Yan's heart.
After organizing his words in his heart, Xiao Yan looked at the Flame Lion in front of him with a surprised expression. He cupped his hands together and opened his mouth to speak with a smile.
"In that case, I will first thank old brother Flame Lion here!"
After expressing his thanks, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He told the Flame Lion about the medicinal ingredients that he needed, as well as the few special flame crystals that he needed to refine the incarnation.
"Lava Fruit, Blazing Flame Essence Vine …"
However, as Xiao Yan continued to speak one after another, the expression on the Flame Lion's face changed from the relaxed and pleased expression in the beginning to a dull and stupefied expression in the end.
