Upon seeing the grim expression on Xiao Yan’s face, Liu Qing could guess that this so-called Little Healer Immortal must have a rather complicated relationship with him… “Xiao Yan, what do you plan to do? The strength of Ice River Valley is no less than that of Burning Flame Valley. There are countless experts in the valley, making it extremely difficult to deal with.” Lin Yan also sensed Xiao Yan’s murderous intent, his face growing grave as he spoke. “I’m going to make a trip to Pill Realm. Xin Lan and the Little Healer Immortal were always together before, she might know some information. As for you, stay in Tianhuang City,” Xiao Yan said after a moment of contemplation. “I’ll go with you, I’m quite familiar with Pill Realm,” Lin Yan hurriedly said. Xiao Yan shook his head, refusing Lin Yan’s offer. He didn’t expect that the Disaster Poison Body would cause such a stir in the Central Plains. If he wanted to help the Little Healer Immortal, he was bound to attract a lot of hostility. It wouldn’t be good for Lin Yan to accompany him. “You stay here with Liu Qing. In this matter, you can’t help much,” Xiao Yan patted Lin Yan’s shoulder. Seeing Xiao Yan’s serious expression, Lin Yan, although very reluctant, hesitated for a while before nodding. He knew that with his Battle Emperor level strength, he couldn’t give Xiao Yan much help. He might even become a burden, so he didn’t insist. “Since you have made up your mind, I won’t persuade you. I will send people to keep an eye on the Central Plains. If there’s any news about the Little Healer Immortal, I will try to get it to you,” Liu Qing said, seeing that Xiao Yan had made his decision. Taking out a map from his storage ring, he handed it to Xiao Yan: “This is a map of the Central Plains. The Ye Clan is in Ye City. If you want to find Ye Xinlan, you can go there.” Xiao Yan did not refuse. Nodding, he took the map. With this, he could avoid getting lost in the Central Plains. “When do you plan to leave?” Liu Qing asked, seeing Xiao Yan accept the map. “Now,” Xiao Yan said solemnly. With the Little Healer Immortal’s life hanging in the balance, he had no mood to linger here. He must find Xinlan as soon as possible and get any information about the Little Healer Immortal. Hearing this, Liu Qing opened his mouth, but could only smile bitterly and nodded. “Alright, I will arrange a spatial wormhole for you immediately.” After saying this, he beckoned to a guard, whispered a few words, and the guard quickly took his leave. “Remember, be careful in the Central Plains. There is a mix of dragons and snakes there, and many formidable strong individuals are hard to handle. If you really run into trouble, come to Tianhuang City. Even though my Liu Family isn’t very powerful, we will do our best to protect you!” Looking at the swiftly retreating guard, Liu Qing turned to Xiao Yan, speaking earnestly. Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan’s grim face, and he nodded slightly. Though he knew such a thing was unlikely to happen, even if he encountered a problem he couldn’t solve himself, coming to Tianhuang City would only bring disaster to the Liu Family without any other benefit.
In the large square in the central area of Tianhuang City, the spatial wormhole slowly rotated, emitting waves of startling spatial fluctuations. In front of the spatial wormhole, Xiao Yan received a palm-sized silver boat from Liu Qing, then cupped his hands and smiled. “Once I resolve this matter, I will definitely return to Tianhuang City when I have time.” “The journey from here to the Central Plains takes about five days,” Liu Qing smiled and patted Xiao Yan’s shoulder. “Take care, and don’t let the Jia Nan Academy lose face. Remember, you are the most outstanding student the Inner Academy has seen in many years.” “Don’t worry, no matter what, I won’t disgrace our name,” Xiao Yan smiled and cupped his fists solemnly towards Liu Qing and Lin Yan. “Take care!” Without hesitation, Xiao Yan turned and entered the spatial wormhole, his figure appearing particularly free-spirited.
Watching Xiao Yan’s figure gradually disappear into the spatial wormhole, Lin Yan and Liu Qing both sighed and looked at each other, smiling bitterly. They knew that Xiao Yan’s trip would likely stir up a storm in the Central Plains. “This guy, no matter how hard we try to catch up, he’s always ahead of us. Sigh, encountering such a monster really deals a blow to one’s confidence.”
In the dazzling silver light of the spatial passage, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged at the bow of the spatial ship, his face exceedingly grave. He had a premonition that this trip to the Central Plains would not be easy. The disturbance caused by the Disaster Poison Body in the Central Plains was somewhat unexpected for Xiao Yan. There were also opportunists taking advantage of the chaos, like the so-called Ice River Valley. Xiao Yan knew that special physiques often attracted covetous eyes, just like Qing Lin from the Jia Ma Empire. This little girl had the Bi Snake Triple Flower Eyes, which even Elder Phramacia was shocked by. And it was because of this that she attracted the attention of the Mo clan.
“Qing Lin…”
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan’s mind involuntarily brought up the little girl who used to timidly follow him, calling him ‘Young Master’. How was she doing now? According to Elder Pharmacist, she was safe in the Sky Serpent Mansion, and over these years, that once timid little girl must have grown into a charming and lively young woman.
“But now, I need to find the Little Healer Immortal…”
Gradually, he reined in his wandering thoughts, taking a deep breath. The situation he was about to face was brutally harsh. Not to mention those who wanted to capture the Little Healer Immortal and destroy her before the Disaster Poison Body completely burst, just the ulterior motives of the Ice River Valley alone were enough to make Xiao Yan fully alert. To be comparable to the Burning Flame Valley and the Sound Valley, the power of the Ice River Valley must be even stronger than the Wind Lightning Pavilion. If Xiao Yan wasn’t adequately prepared, he might well meet his downfall in the Central Plains!
“Once I reach the Central Plains, I must quickly gather medicinal materials to help the Heavenly Fire Venerable refine his body. With a Dou Zun expert’s assistance, I will have more confidence even against powers like the Ice River Valley. And the collection of beast flames must be sped up. Otherwise, the Alchemy Fire will only be enough for me to use the Destructive Lotus once!”
Xiao Yan’s eyes flashed rapidly. The situation he faced was probably the harshest in recent years, so he must give it his all! “The last two transformations of the Heavenly Fire Three Mystic Changes should also be practiced during this journey. Although time is tight, fortunately, I have received the inheritance. Otherwise, even I would find it difficult to grasp them in such a short time.”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan’s face became increasingly stern, then he slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, a profound and mysterious cultivation method once again appeared. The sudden change reminded Xiao Yan profoundly of the importance of strength. The Ice River Valley loomed like an insurmountable behemoth before him. With his current power, it would be difficult to shake it. Therefore, Xiao Yan must spare no effort to make his trump card and strength even more powerful!
Time passed swiftly like sand through fingers in the spatial passage. During these days of travel, Xiao Yan was completely immersed in the cultivation of the Heavenly Fire Three Mystic Changes. Though this secret art was originally difficult to practice, thankfully, Xiao Yan had been practicing for many years and was already proficient in it. Receiving the inheritance and the experience of the elders of the Burning Flame Valley helped him bypass many detours in his cultivation. Under these favorable conditions, Xiao Yan’s progress in the Heavenly Fire Three Mystic Changes was surprisingly fast.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. When Xiao Yan opened his eyes from his meditation, he saw the distant silver circle, where concentrated spatial fluctuations overflowed. “Have we arrived…?” Staring at the silver circle, Xiao Yan’s fists clenched tightly, and a coldness surged in his dark eyes. Exhaling the suppressed air in his heart, Xiao Yan stood up abruptly. The greenish fluorescence flowing around his body gradually converged.
The spatial ship, like a streak of silver light, darted through the passage, approaching the luminous circle in a few blinks. Under the intense spatial fluctuations, the ship began to jolt. Xiao Yan paid no heed to the jolting, his face calm as he steered the ship with a whoosh, dashing out. In a few moments, the silver ring was close at hand. As the silvery glow grew brighter in his eyes, Xiao Yan’s fists clenched suddenly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The spatial ship transformed into a streak of silver light and whizzed into the silver ring, vanishing from sight. “Central Plains, here I come, Xiao Yan…”
