The curtain-like pitch-black night sky gradually emitted specks of starlight following Zhao Xian's death. The originally pressuring atmosphere that covered the sky also became relaxed.
Only at this moment did Xiao Yan slowly lift his head. His pitch-black eyes looked at the distant sky above his head, at the resplendent galaxy filled with stars.
"Oh, is the sky already dark?"
A trace of surprise flashed deep within Xiao Yan's pitch-black eyes. His battle with Zhao Xian had unknowingly lasted for an entire day. Although this process was a little more difficult than Xiao Yan had originally imagined, it was fortunate that Gu You was beside him. Hence, today's matter could be considered a daunting experience without any danger.
Xiao Yan let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. His tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment. However, soon after, Xiao Yan once again forcefully braced himself. Many glints shot out from deep within his eyes as his eyes slowly shifted downwards. Finally, they landed on a cream-white cluster of light that was suspended in front of him.
This cluster of light was Zhao Xian's Spiritual Essence, which had been completely refined by the Heavenly Flame from the inside out. Of course, it did not only contain Zhao Xian's own Spiritual Strength, but it also merged with nearly all of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength.
It was also because of this that Xiao Yan was able to instantly eliminate Zhao Xian's consciousness within such a short period of time. At this moment, after this cluster of Spiritual Essence had been refined by the Heavenly Flame, all that was left was the purest Spiritual Essence Energy.
The purity of this kind of Spiritual Essence was sufficient for anyone to easily refine it without leaving any residual effects. However, the only difference was that Zhao Xian's Spiritual Essence had been destroyed by Xiao Yan, causing his Spiritual Essence to be more or less exhausted.
Hence, even though Xiao Yan was able to completely absorb this cluster of Spiritual Essence in front of him, he could only use most of it.
"Hu."
Xiao Yan once again exhaled a long breath. However, he was not in a hurry to devour the Spiritual Essence in front of him. Instead, he forcefully supported his body and allowed himself to sit cross-legged in the empty space.
No matter what, Xiao Yan needed to recover some of his physical strength at this moment. Otherwise, any haste for success might result in an irreversible change in the end result.
The Spiritual Essence in front of him was extremely attractive to the current Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan clearly understood that it was impossible for him to easily refine such an enormous Spiritual Essence Energy in his current condition. In order to avoid any mistakes, it was worth it even if he had to delay a little more time.
… …
In the blink of an eye, night was about to fall. Faint fluorescent light quietly covered the entire land like a layer of frost. Another day had quietly arrived.
When the first ray of morning light landed on Xiao Yan's eyelids, Xiao Yan seemed to have sensed something. His eyelids trembled slightly before he slowly opened them.
An entire night of training did not allow Xiao Yan's pale face to recover much. After all, what Xiao Yan's body was lacking at this moment was Spiritual Strength. It was not something that could be easily made up for with some Dou Qi.
Although this was the case, it was already sufficient to allow Xiao Yan to have the ability to devour those Spiritual Essences.
Xiao Yan exhaled faintly. His dark-black eyes once again stared intently at the Spiritual Essence in front of him. Although the aura in his body was still weak, a fiery heat involuntarily appeared deep within Xiao Yan's eyes at this moment.
Other than the Spiritual Strength that he originally possessed, he wondered if his Spiritual Strength would be able to reach the level of a rank 3 alchemist if he devoured and refined Zhao Xian's Spiritual Essence.
Of course, this was merely Xiao Yan's subjective assumption. After all, the Spiritual Strength required to reach the level of a rank 3 alchemist was extremely enormous. With the experience of Gu You lending his Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan knew that this Spiritual Strength alone was not enough to allow him to reach the level of a rank 3 alchemist.
Moreover, as an alchemist, having a powerful Spiritual Strength was the first requirement. However, alchemy skills would still more or less give Xiao Yan, who had never come into contact with a rank 3 medicinal pill, a great amount of pressure.
After all, the difficulty of refining a rank 3 medicinal pill was far greater than that of a rank 2 medicinal pill. In order to refine a rank 3 medicinal pill, not only did one have to rely on a powerful Spiritual Strength, but one also had to test an alchemist's superb control over flames.
Xiao Yan sat in the empty space. The fiery heat that had risen in his heart had swept away all the exhaustion in his body. At this moment, Xiao Yan's face was pale, but his mental state was exceptionally good. This was mostly due to the milky-white Spiritual Essence in front of him.
A thought passed through his mind, and the Spiritual Bead in Xiao Yan's mind immediately trembled slightly. At the same time, the Spiritual Essence floating in front of Xiao Yan also moved. It seemed to be attracted by something as it approached Xiao Yan's body.
The Spiritual Essence was the size of a football. Wisps of mist-like lines spread out from it and intertwined in front of Xiao Yan's chest. After which, they passed through the black robe that Xiao Yan was wearing, entered his skin, and reached the core of his soul.
"Ugh …"
As the first wisp of Spiritual Essence poured into his soul, Xiao Yan's seated body involuntarily trembled slightly. At the same time, the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and he could not help but release a comfortable moan.
Next, the wisps of Spiritual Essence were like many separated branches. They first separated, then intertwined and gathered. Finally, they poured into Xiao Yan's body.
The Spiritual Essence that Xiao Yan had exhausted a day ago was swiftly being absorbed and refined in this seemingly slow but hurried manner. Xiao Yan's Spiritual Essence was swiftly recovered.
Unknowingly, a day once again quietly flowed by from the tip of Xiao Yan's finger. The Spiritual Strength that Xiao Yan lacked within his body had already been completely recovered. Xiao Yan's expression had also turned from its initial pale and bloodless state to a sleek redness. There was also an invisible pressure that was faintly being emitted from Xiao Yan's body, causing one to not dare underestimate it.
Under this continuous refinement, the Spiritual Essence floating in front of Xiao Yan gradually grew from the size of a football to the size of a fist on the evening of the second day. In the end, it transformed into a thumb-sized milky white light spot that was completely absorbed by Xiao Yan.
"Hu …"
After two full days of refinement, the cluster of Spiritual Essence in front of Xiao Yan was finally completely absorbed. At this moment, the Spiritual Strength that Xiao Yan possessed in his body had already reached an extremely terrifying level. Even though it was far from comparable to a rank 3 alchemist, it was likely that this level of Spiritual Strength was comparable to that of Xu Songming!
