The process of swallowing the Soul Condensing Fruit lasted for a total of three months. During these three months, the Spiritual Strength contained within the Soul Bead in Xiao Yan's mind grew stronger by the day. The Spiritual Strength within the Soul Condensing Fruit was continuously transferred to the Soul Bead in Xiao Yan's mind.
After three months of continuous refinement, the size of the Soul Condensing Fruit within the vortex had undergone a huge change. The Soul Condensing Fruit, which was originally the size of a palm, was now only the size of a soybean. Even so, if one were to carefully examine it, one would discover that the Spiritual Strength contained within it was still terrifyingly powerful.
Around the Soul Condensing Fruit, the surging Heavenly Flame was like a wild lion roaring furiously. The beautiful flame released a terrifyingly high temperature that could melt mountains and break seas. It condensed into a medicinal cauldron that surrounded the Soul Condensing Fruit. As the Heavenly Flame rose, the high temperature was released. Threads of milky-white Qi slowly floated up from the Soul Condensing Fruit. Then, following the guidance of the Heavenly Flame, it passed through the channels and internal organs within Xiao Yan's body. Finally, it reached the Soul Bead in the depths of his mind.
Such a careful and meticulous refinement process was like spinning silk from a cocoon. An ordinary person would not be able to imagine it and would not be able to calm down to do it. If it was someone else, it was likely that they would choose to give up in less than three days and use an even more violent method to directly refine it.
However, Xiao Yan's mental state did not change in the slightest during the process of refining the Soul Condensing Fruit. Instead, he persisted for a total of three months. Just based on this point, it was enough to prove just how tough Xiao Yan's mental state was.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another week had passed. At this moment, the size of the Condensing Soul Fruit in Xiao Yan's cyclone was reduced to the size of half a grain of rice. It would not be long before it was completely refined by Xiao Yan.
Day after day, the cycle repeated itself. As night fell, the pitch-black night sky was densely covered with stars. The entire area was enveloped by a scorching aura. The Magical Beasts in the mountain range were unable to sleep in peace. Occasionally, irritated roars would resound across the mountain range. These fellows had not had a good rest for a long time. This damned weather had caused them to suffer quite a bit. If they could break through the sky above their heads, they would definitely not be stingy.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was calm. The expression on his face did not change because of the environment.
He, who had been bitterly training outside for many years, had long adapted to any environment in this world. Even if it was a hopeless situation in the eyes of ordinary people, in Xiao Yan's eyes, there would definitely be a chance of survival.
Unknowingly, a fish belly white color faintly rose from the horizon. Soon after, a dense light gradually spread across the entire land.
The sun was high in the sky.
When the last wisp of Spiritual Strength, which had been refined until it was extremely pure, entered the Soul Bead in Xiao Yan's mind, Xiao Yan's originally calm seated body suddenly shook at this moment. His body, which had been seated cross-legged for over three months, would have been treated as a statue if no one paid attention to it. However, at this moment, this' statue ', which had been completely isolated from the outside world, finally woke up from its long slumber.
"Hum hum hum!"
Soon after, a pair of clear eyes suddenly opened. At the same time, an invisible, vast Spiritual Pressure rapidly swept out from Xiao Yan's body like a tsunami. With Xiao Yan's body as the center, a circle of invisible energy ripples rapidly formed around Xiao Yan. It was like an invisible wall that was several hundred meters tall and possessed a shocking aura.
"Rumble!"
The instant the invisible energy ripples swept out, the entire mountain range violently shook at this moment. Huge rocks rolled down from the cliffs, and rumbling sounds exploded in the mountain range like muffled thunder. The mountain peak that Xiao Yan stood on violently shook, and huge cracks appeared on it. The cracks rapidly spread, and in the end, those dense cracks even enveloped the entire mountain. It was as if it would instantly collapse with a gentle push.
Slowly raising his pitch-black eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze seemed to be empty as he stared at the empty space before him. At the same time, the enormous Spiritual Strength that swept out also rapidly swept towards the depths of the mountain range.
Along the way, all kinds of powerful Magical Beasts within the mountain range appeared within the range of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength's probing.
First, there were some seven-star Half Emperor level Magical Beasts. Then, there were eight-star Magical Beasts. In the end, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength arrived at a rather hot volcano.
The size of this volcano was absolutely at the forefront of the entire Xilin Mountain Range. As his Spiritual Strength spread out, Xiao Yan could not help but smile in his heart. This was the residence of the Flame Lion.
Smiling faintly in his heart, Xiao Yan's mind moved, and the enormous Spiritual Strength continued to penetrate, directly entering the volcano. He wanted to observe the Flame Lion's current movements.
However, after a short moment, Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly startled in his heart. In the depths of the volcano, he actually felt a rather powerful energy. Moreover, within that energy, there was a somewhat familiar aura.
Carrying the curiosity and doubts in his heart, Xiao Yan controlled his Spiritual Strength to continue to penetrate deeper. At the same time, he was also thinking about the answer in his heart.
When Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength arrived at the bottom of the volcano, in the stone room where magma was surging, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength discovered that the Flame Lion and the other two were there. At the same time, in the sky above the magma, there was a huge beast that was wrapped in a powerful energy layer. It was also entrenched in the air.
As waves of scorching aura rose from the magma, the energy layer on the surface of the huge beast's body emitted a lustrous light. Soon after, Xiao Yan could clearly see traces of energy flowing along the huge beast's body. After circling for a while, it flowed into the latter's body.
"Narwhal Snake?!"
Xiao Yan's heart was suddenly startled. He had never imagined that he would actually see the Narwhal Snake here. Logically speaking, this fellow should have been taken away by Leng Bingshuang. Why was it now …
"Who is it! How dare you act so presumptuously in the Xilin Mountain Range! "
Just as the emotion within Xiao Yan's heart had changed, the Flame Lion and the other two, who were seated cross-legged around the magma, appeared to have sensed something. Numerous pairs of eyes that were filled with solemness instantly lifted their heads and looked above their heads.
After being discovered by the three, Xiao Yan hurriedly withdrew his Spiritual Strength.
The powerful Spiritual Strength that had spread out over a thousand miles was withdrawn in the blink of an eye. Soon after, Xiao Yan regained his senses. A look of surprise appeared on his face. He had never imagined that the Narwhal Snake would actually appear in the Flame Lion's cave.
However, after a rough guess, Xiao Yan came to an understanding in his heart.
All of this was probably Leng Bingshuang's idea. She said that she would take the Narwhal Snake away in order to put pressure on him so that he would pay attention to the matter of the Bodhi Returning Pill. In reality, she had never planned to kill the Narwhal Snake from the start. Otherwise, she would not have asked Tian Ying and the rest to place the Narwhal Snake at the bottom of the volcano in order to speed up the Narwhal Snake's devouring and refining of the energy stratum.
After understanding this point in his heart, Xiao Yan's face immediately revealed a smile. It seemed that this Leng Bingshuang was not as cold as she seemed on the surface.
On the other side, Tian Ying and the other two had grave expressions on their faces. The frightening Spiritual Strength that had suddenly appeared earlier had caused their minds to tremble. The strength of that Spiritual Strength was far from what they could compare with!
"What a frightening Spiritual Strength! Who exactly is that fellow?! "
Yan Shi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a lingering fear. Even though he had a fiery temper, his heart involuntarily trembled in the face of that powerful Spiritual Strength that had suddenly appeared earlier.
As a Magical Beast, his sensitivity towards powerful auras was far superior to that of an ordinary human. When that Spiritual Strength had descended on this place earlier, he had clearly sensed just how powerful that Spiritual Strength was.
"The owner of that Spiritual Strength is either a rank 3 alchemist or a fellow with frighteningly powerful strength!"
Tian Ying's expression was gloomy. It could be said that it was a disgrace for someone to spy on their territory. However, they also understood just how frightening the strength of the person who was spying on them was. Regardless of whether that person's identity was the former or the latter, he was a frightening existence that they could not easily offend.
Currently, even though they had ten thousand dissatisfaction in their hearts, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.
"Be careful. Inform those brats in the Xilin Mountain Range to be alert. Once a strong enemy attacks, they must inform this place immediately. Otherwise, if anything happens to that fellow, forget about the lord, we will also have difficulty explaining ourselves to brother Xiao Yan."
Tian Ying's tone was solemn as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the two beside him nodded their heads repeatedly. Soon after, they each moved and left the bottom of the volcano. As for Tian Ying, he stayed behind to guard the Narwhal Snake.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Yan also turned his gaze back and it landed on his Spiritual Strength, which had soared.
As he sensed the surging Spiritual Strength contained within the Soul Bead in his mind, Xiao Yan could not help but feel excited. Ever since he had obtained the pill formula for the Ice Spirit Pill, Xiao Yan had been thinking day and night about when he would be able to raise his Spiritual Strength to the level of a rank 3 alchemist. After nearly three years, he had finally managed to do so today.
Now that his Spiritual Strength had reached rank 3, the current Xiao Yan had finally met the first requirement to refine the Ice Spirit Pill.
However, even though the problem of his Spiritual Strength had been resolved, there was still another problem that was placed in front of Xiao Yan. If he was unable to resolve this problem, he would still be unable to refine the Ice Spirit Pill.
Fire Plume Flower
Besides the Ice Spirit Liquid, there was still one more ingredient missing to refine the Ice Spirit Pill, and that was the Fire Plume Flower.
The Fire Plume Flower was one of the more precious fire attribute medicinal ingredients. According to Xiao Yan's knowledge, not only was this Fire Plume Flower extremely valuable, even the environment in which it grew was extremely strict. Ever since he had come to the Yuanwu Continent, Xiao Yan had never heard of any information about this medicinal ingredient. Right now, this Fire Plume Flower had become Xiao Yan's final problem.
If he was unable to find the Fire Plume Flower, even if Xiao Yan obtained the Ice Spirit Liquid, he would still be unable to refine the Ice Spirit Pill. As such, Xiao Yan would also be unable to devour the Bone Freezing Fire and raise his strength.
Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Yan withdrew his thoughts. Even though the Fire Plume Flower was not easy to find, now was not the time to be anxious. He could naturally slowly search for the Fire Plume Flower. However, right now, there was another thing that constantly reminded Xiao Yan.
With a flip of his palm, a ray of light flashed and an ancient scroll appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. This scroll was the ancient scroll that he had obtained from the Desolate Ancient Ruins. Even though he did not know what exactly was inside this scroll, Xiao Yan had a faint feeling that this scroll would bring him quite a pleasant surprise.
With a trace of joy in his heart, Xiao Yan's hands slowly unfurled the scroll. The first thing that entered his eyes was a golden parchment. The parchment was made of a special material and even with Xiao Yan's eyesight, he was unable to discern what exactly it was. However, Xiao Yan did not care about this. Immediately after, what appeared in front of Xiao Yan's eyes were five large characters that were written in flowing calligraphy.
Four Saint Manifestation Skill
The instant he saw these four words, Xiao Yan's entire mind was immediately startled. The instant Xiao Yan turned around, a strange feeling gushed out from the bottom of his heart.
While carrying that strange feeling, Xiao Yan slowly unfurled the scroll in his hand. The instant the scroll was completely unfurled, a bright ray of light was released from the scroll and transformed into four figures in front of Xiao Yan.
The four figures were all human and were only the size of an ordinary person's palm. Their bodies were slightly illusory and their entire bodies flickered with a dazzling golden light. Numerous mysterious symbols were formed around the human figures and each of them wrapped around the bodies of the four human figures.
Seeing the four human figures that had been formed in front of him, Xiao Yan could not help but frown slightly. Such a strange scene caused him to feel somewhat suspicious in his heart. After observing for a long while, he still could not tell what exactly these four human figures were. He could not even tell whether they were Dou Skills or Qi Methods.
"This … What the hell is this?"
Xiao Yan's face was at a loss. The golden light that was projected flickered for a moment before disappearing. At this moment, the only things that appeared in front of Xiao Yan's eyes were these four somewhat illusory human figures. Even the scroll in their hands appeared ordinary and did not have any reaction.
"Uh …"
A stunned expression was revealed on Xiao Yan's face. He could not just stare at the four illusory human figures in front of him, could he?
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment in his heart. A long while later, he finally raised his hand with a stomach filled with doubt. He carefully extended a finger and gently pressed it on one of the four human figures.
