The next day.
When the morning light shone on the earth, Xiao Yan also gradually woke up from a night of cultivation.
His eyelids trembled slightly. The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, a brilliant flame flashed across the depths of Xiao Yan's eyes.
After a night of cultivation, Xiao Yan did not feel the slightest bit tired. On the contrary, it made him feel even more energetic.
Xiao Yan's body shook slightly as he stood up. Immediately, a wave of firecracker-like crackling sound was emitted from all over his body. The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth was involuntarily lifted into an arc as he sensed the refreshing feeling that was emitted from within his body. He immediately moved his body and flew toward the northern sky.
Now that Murong Qianqian's matter had come to an end, Xiao Yan should start on his own matters.
According to the original plan, Xiao Yan should head to the Western Wastelands Region at this moment. However, he had not obtained the most important Icy Spirit Liquid to refine the Icy Spirit Pill. For the sake of the Icy Spirit Liquid, Xiao Yan decided to temporarily stay in the Xilin Region.
Furthermore, other than that, the other medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Icy Spirit Pill still required Xiao Yan to spend time to find. Rather than painstakingly searching in the Western Wastelands Region, perhaps Xiao Yan would have a greater chance of finding them in the Xilin Region. However, at the same time, Xiao Yan was afraid that he would have to face the Four Great Sects head-on.
In the following period of time, Xiao Yan continuously shuttled back and forth between the few nearby cities. On one hand, he searched for information about the remaining medicinal ingredients, on the other hand, he also inquired about some natural treasures that could increase Spiritual Force.
Now, if Xiao Yan wanted to increase his Spiritual Force, there were only two methods he could follow.
The first was to use a Secret Art and slowly cultivate. At the cost of time, he could cultivate his Spiritual Force for a long period of time.
Of course, this method could indeed be said to be seeking victory through stability, but it would take too long. Even with Xiao Yan's temperament, he could not wait for ten or a hundred years of boring cultivation.
As for the second method, it was to use heavenly treasures to achieve the effect of rapidly increasing one's Soul Strength. Compared to the first method, although the probability of finding this method was not high, the effect was more obvious. It was the choice of most alchemists and array masters.
The current Xiao Yan didn't have the patience to cultivate his Spiritual Strength. Therefore, he focused all his attention on the second method. Even if the chances were small, Xiao Yan still wanted to give it a try.
…
A month later, Xiao Yan, who had been searching everywhere, finally arrived in front of a city. At this moment, Xiao Yan's pitch-black eyes finally revealed some exhaustion.
After a month of searching all over the place, Xiao Yan was disappointed time and time again.
In a month's time, Xiao Yan had visited dozens of big and small cities, but the results were still disappointing.
Besides finding three medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yan was unable to find anything else. With regards to the main medicinal ingredients for the Ice Spirit Pill and the Bodhi Returning Pill, Xiao Yan also did not have any information. As for the heavenly treasure that could increase one's Spiritual Force, it was even more impossible to find.
At this moment, Xiao Yan lifted his head to look at the ancient city in front of him. He could not help but use his hand to forcefully rub his face. With the last bit of hope in his heart, his body moved as he flew towards the city in front of him.
"Cold Stream City …"
As he softly muttered these words, Xiao Yan's eyes slowly shifted away from the city gates. With one hand, he tugged at the black robes on his body. Only then did his figure move as he followed the surrounding crowd into the city.
The area of Cold Stream City was not small. Even when compared to Yan City, it was not inferior in size. In this area, Cold Stream City was also the largest city, and this was also the reason why it was so prosperous.
After entering the city, the enormous outline of the city appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes. The seemingly endless streets in front of him also showed how enormous Cold Stream City was.
However, to Xiao Yan, all of this was not attractive at all. Xiao Yan's gaze was only focused on those shops, and whether they had the medicinal ingredients that he needed.
Similar to his actions in the previous month, Xiao Yan's target was the shops in the city. Of course, as he passed by, he did not forget to sweep his gaze across the street vendors. Many times, he would find things that one would not expect from these street vendors. Since Xiao Yan had experienced this before, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
However, it was a pity that finding amazing treasures from street vendors did not happen often. Even though Xiao Yan had visited all the street vendors in the past month, he still did not find anything. This time was no exception.
"Sigh …"
As he laughed bitterly in his heart, Xiao Yan understood that he had indeed been a little too impatient.
Following the flow of people, Xiao Yan walked for a long time until a splendidly decorated large shop appeared before his eyes. Only then did the expression on Xiao Yan's face change.
"Four Way Pavilion, what an extravagant name. However, I wonder if there is anything that I need here!"
Seeing the huge square shaped building in front of him, which did indeed live up to its name, a sigh involuntarily surged into Xiao Yan's eyes. Hopefully, he would be able to find the thing that he needed in this place. Even if it was just one thing, it was enough to cause Xiao Yan to feel excited.
When Xiao Yan stepped into the pavilion, the noise from the outside world instantly decreased by more than half. When Xiao Yan's body had completely stepped into this Four Way Pavilion, all the noise from the outside world had completely disappeared. At the same time, when Xiao Yan raised his eyes to take a look, the atmosphere in the pavilion involuntarily made him feel a little strange.
Under normal circumstances, the people who ran a shop, regardless of whether they were the shop's attendants or the owner, should be courteous to their customers. However, looking at the situation before him, Xiao Yan could not help but frown.
Although there were over ten people choosing items in front of the counter in the hall, the attendants actually completely ignored these so-called customers. Instead, they appeared to be somewhat impatient. In fact, there were even a few bad-tempered attendants who actually pointed at a few customers and urged them in a loud voice with a displeased expression. Moreover, from the looks of it, they were simply planning to force a sale.
Although the customers were somewhat dissatisfied with this, when their eyes noticed an old man with his eyes shut in the hall, they could only bitterly clench their teeth. However, they did not say anything else. Instead, they randomly chose a few items, hastily paid the bill and left.
When they saw the few people leave, the attendants sneered and mocked them. At the same time, their poisonous snake-like sharp eyes quickly landed on Xiao Yan's body.
At this moment, the few customers just so happened to pass by Xiao Yan. When they saw the confused face of Xiao Yan, the few of them involuntarily cast a pitiful gaze at him. Immediately, they did not dare to say anything else. After hurriedly bypassing Xiao Yan, they swiftly left this Four Way Pavilion.
