In an instant, the entire place was silent. The entire place was silent. Everyone's hearts were repeatedly replaying the scene from earlier.
An elite Dou Zong had suddenly exploded in front of this young man. Not even a trace of blood was left behind. Just what kind of frightening strength did this young man possess?
To be able to kill an elite Dou Zong with a thought, this kind of strength was likely at the peak of the Dou Zong class at the very least!
This young elite Dou Zong class had actually stood in front of their eyes for five days and was even mocked by them. At this moment, everyone involuntarily felt a chill in their hearts when they thought of this.
This was especially true for Xu Zhen and Mu Ling. Xiao Yan had been standing in this place for the past few days. If he had any thoughts, it was likely that the both of them would have already turned into two corpses.
Xu Zhen was a little better. His Xu clan was able to dominate Yan Luo City because it naturally possessed a great foundation. Although they did not have any elite Dou Shengs, they did have a couple of elite Dou Zuns. Forget about Xiao Yan, who only had the strength of a peak Dou Zong, even a five star Dou Zun would have to lower his head in Yan Luo City.
As for Mu Ling, if he did not have the help of an expert, it was likely that he would not be able to block even one attack from Xiao Yan.
Forget about Xiao Yan not knowing the thoughts of the two of them. Even if he knew, it was likely that he would not be too concerned. The current Xiao Yan did not care about such small characters.
He tilted his head and randomly swept his eyes over the many cultivators behind him. After which, he turned his gaze to Xu Zhen and Mu Ling.
Although Xiao Yan did not intend to do so, the hearts of the countless number of cultivators were startled. Under that gaze, they were so frightened that their legs became weak. Waves of fear surged into their hearts.
Immediately, many cultivators swiftly fled while wearing terrified faces. It was as though they were afraid that Xiao Yan would turn around and attack them.
Of course, there was no lack of astute people among this endless number of cultivators. Xiao Yan's eyes did not contain the slightest killing intent. Why would he attack them? Perhaps this young man felt that it was beneath him to kill low class cultivators like them!
A portion of the people's bright eyes took a deep look at Xiao Yan. Soon after, they shut their mouths and did not say anything. Their cold eyes looked at the crowd that was fleeing in a panic.
At this moment, these people, who originally had such thoughts, had already suppressed the greed in their hearts. The Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs in the sky had also landed.
In front of an elite Dou Zong, even though they were renowned elite Dou Huangs in the outside world, at this moment, they were as lowly as an ordinary person. Dou Huang would never be able to truly breakthrough before the Dou Zong class!
At this moment, some people in the crowd recalled the words that a certain someone had said earlier.
"Young Master Xu once killed an adult rank 7 Golden Liu Beast with the strength of a Dou Huang!"
This kind of battle result could indeed be called a legend to the crowd earlier. However, when they thought about it now, they felt that it was extremely laughable.
A rank 7 adult Golden Liu Beast's strength was at least equivalent to a human seven star Dou Zong. How could Xu Zhen possess such strength!
When they thought about the expression of that person when he spoke, that respectful expression, it was likely that one would be able to guess that this person should be a soldier of the Xu clan!
… …
"Why? Do the two of you not plan to continue? We have already reached the final stage of the pill nurturing process. Let's finish the refinement in one go!"
Just as everyone was absent-minded, Xiao Yan's calm voice once again spread out, causing Xu Zhen and Mu Ling's expressions to abruptly turn around. They had nearly forgotten that Xiao Yan still existed beside them!
The two of them cautiously looked at Xiao Yan. They completely ignored the flame that was about to be extinguished in the medicinal cauldron. After all, it was likely that no one would be able to do anything properly when there was a person beside them who could easily kill them at any time.
Xiao Yan was naturally incomparably clear about this matter. He laughed and said.
He chuckled and said, "What happened earlier was merely a small interlude. The two of you can continue. Of course, I will not disturb your pill refinement process, nor will I covet your medicinal pills. I will just randomly take a look."
Mu Ling's anxious expression became a little more relaxed when he heard this. He did not hesitate any longer as his Spiritual Strength instantly poured out. The strength of the Green Flame Mysterious Flame suddenly soared. However, it was steadily controlled by Mu Ling at an extremely suitable temperature as he continued the final step of the medicinal pill refinement process.
Xu Zhen, on the other hand, gave Xiao Yan a deep look before he once again placed his mind on the medicinal cauldron from before.
However, an elderly figure suddenly appeared in the space beside him. Looking at the thickness of his aura, his strength had actually reached the level of a three star Dou Zun!
Xiao Yan did not even look at this. He simply minded his own business and watched the two people in the arena finish up the match.
Xiao Yan's indifference did not mean that the surrounding people were also indifferent. Numerous surprised voices sounded from the crowd the moment the old man appeared.
"Quickly look! That old man beside young master Xu. Isn't that the fifth Elder of the Xu clan? His strength has reached the terrifying three star Dou Zun class. The outside world calls him Xu Pei from the Hand of Hell! "
"What! It is actually Elder Xu Pei. Didn't he go missing two years ago? "
"Heh, he's just missing because we can't see him. It's not like he's dead. Didn't you see Elder Xu Pei guarding Young Master Xu? It seems like Elder Xu Pei has been secretly protecting Young Master Xu for the past two years!"
"Tsk tsk tsk … Back then, Elder Xu Pei possessed the strength to cross three classes. With the strength of a two star Dou Zun, he had forcefully killed a five star Dou Zun. This allowed him to have a place among all the elite Dou Zuns in this south-western region back then!"
"That's right! From the looks of it, his aura is even denser than back then. It is likely that he has already broken through to a three star Dou Zun! "
"Hee hee, this brat actually dares to act so arrogantly in front of so many people today. Let's see if you will have a good time."
Xu Pei's pair of turbid old eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan while everyone was discussing with each other. It was as though he wanted to completely see through Xiao Yan.
However, Xu Pei's body trembled slightly in an instant. He frowned slightly and his eyes, which were originally staring intently at Xiao Yan, were involuntarily turned away.
Earlier, when Xu Pei was probing Xiao Yan, his eyes, which were staring at Xiao Yan, had become increasingly blurry for some unknown reason. There seemed to be a layer of dense fog covering Xiao Yan's body, causing him to be unable to see through him.
The expression on his face changed slightly. However, when he once again looked at Xiao Yan, that feeling seemed to be present and undetectable. In short, everything about Xiao Yan gave him an indescribable mysterious feeling.
Xu Pei's originally frown involuntarily deepened after this. His eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at Xiao Yan.
"Just who is this person? Why is his aura so strange and indeterminate? What is his intention for coming to my Yanluo City?"
Xiao Yan's mysteriousness also caused a series of questions to involuntarily form in Xu Pei's heart.
For an old man of his level, it was already very difficult for anything to attract his attention. Currently, the only person he was truly concerned about was Xu Zhen in front of him. Xiao Yan's appearance naturally caused him to have many questions in his heart.
Amidst the silence, some fine lime powder also slid down from Xu Pei's fingers under his sleeves. At the same time, deep within an important area of one of the wealthy families in Yanluo City, four pairs of turbid and sharp old eyes opened.
All of this naturally could not escape Xiao Yan's eyes. However, to Xiao Yan, all of this was just so-so. In his heart, he could not be bothered to pay too much attention to it.
A small fry like this was unable to arouse any emotions in his heart. Of course, unless they were stubborn and insisted on doing something with Xiao Yan …
Time flowed by minute by minute. Xu Zhen and Mu Ling's foreheads were already covered with beads of sweat. Their clothes had long since become so drenched that water could be wrung out.
The veins on their foreheads protruded and squirmed continuously. Their originally calm eyes had already turned scarlet red and their eyeballs were abnormally protruding. At this moment, the two of them had finally reached the point where they were like oil lamps that had run out of oil.
"Clang!"
Xu Zhen's palm viciously slammed against the body of the cauldron, causing the lid of the cauldron to open. Golden flames abruptly soared into the sky, wrapping around a longan sized round medicinal pill. Soon after, Xu Zhen caught it in his palm.
He stretched his arm forward and slowly opened his palm. A rich medicinal fragrance spread out, causing one to feel incomparably comfortable after taking a breath.
A thin layer of clear mist wrapped around a light green medicinal pill. Its lustrous glow allowed one to know that this medicinal pill was no ordinary item!
"Cough cough … I have lived up to everyone's expectations. This young master has finally completed the refinement of a Grade 7 middle grade Great Returning Pill!"
Xu Zhen coughed a few times as the corners of his mouth lifted into an arrogant smile. Today, he had once again proved that he, Xu Zhen, was the unchanging number one in Yanluo City!
Even Xu Pei, who was beside him, looked at Xu Zhen with his turbid old eyes, which were filled with gratification.
Although the current Xu Zhen was incomparably weak, how many people could refine a Grade 7 medicinal pill as a Grade 6 alchemist? The current Xu Zhen was enough to be proud of himself!
However, all of this was nothing in the eyes of Xiao Yan, who was standing to one side. Without looking at anything else, just the Grade 7 Great Returning Pill was already a pure failure in his eyes.
The medicinal pill's luster was dull and lusterless, while its medicinal fragrance was ordinary and unremarkable. The medicinal power within the medicinal pill was also extremely mixed. Although it had been forcefully fused together, if it was really used, it would likely cause quite a bit of trouble.
However, Xiao Yan did not have the mood to be a good person and punish him. Such a person would sooner or later suffer the consequences of deceiving the world. Why should he be in a hurry to act?
Compared to Xu Zhen, Mu Ling's situation was clearly much better. Although his entire body was clearly weaker than Xu Zhen, the medicinal power of the medicinal pill within the cauldron was even more concentrated and could be said to be of the highest grade!
Suddenly, Mu Ling's hands moved simultaneously. The seals in his hands changed and he took out the China Root Pill from the cauldron.
"Wait a little longer. Wait for another five breaths of time before taking it out. The China Root Pill's medicinal power will completely condense and become a complete pill."
When Xiao Yan saw Mu Ling's hand movements, the corners of his mouth instantly curled. This brat was truly impatient. He actually gave up on the medicinal pill that was about to successfully condense. How could this make Xiao Yan feel lonely and speechless?
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling's heart moved. A complete pill was a way of saying that a medicinal pill had truly been successfully refined. An ordinary medicinal pill would only be a complete pill after being refined. For example, the Great Returning Pill in Xu Zhen's hands was a complete pill in everyone's eyes.
A complete pill, on the other hand, was much better than a formed pill. Its medicinal strength would be a couple of times stronger than a formed pill. Its effect would also be shockingly strong. No wonder Mu Ling would have such a change after hearing Xiao Yan's words.
