Exiting the Heavenly Flame Valley, Xiao Yan did not linger; he dashed swiftly towards the location of the Heavenly Yellow City. As he traveled, his mind continuously mulled over the complete cultivation method of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes…
The Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes, a top-secret technique of the Heavenly Flame Valley, was difficult to categorize due to its special nature. In some people’s hands, this secret technique was completely useless, but in the hands of those who possessed multiple powerful flames, it could unleash power comparable to other high-tier earth-class secret techniques!
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was the latter. With the Green Lotus Heart Core Fire, the Fallen Heart Flame, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame at his disposal, he could fully harness the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes. Just as Tang Huo’er had said, this secret technique was almost tailor-made for him. When the three alien flames erupted simultaneously, the amplified power would be extremely terrifying. Xiao Yan predicted that if he unleashed it fully, he might even be able to confront old monsters like Fei Tian and Wu Chen head-on, instead of barely surviving ten rounds with them now.
“However, every burst of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes generates extremely violent energy. The triple changes, combined, must reach an unimaginable level. Even my current physical strength might find it hard to resist such a force,” mused Xiao Yan, his face showing a thoughtful expression. After all, it wasn’t ordinary flames within his body, but the revered alien flames, the lords among all flames!
Based on the three alien flames, the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes might never have been achieved by anyone in the Heavenly Flame Valley. Even if they had the ability to find three alien flames, without a miraculous technique like the Burning Decree, who would dare to harbor three alien flames in one body?
“It seems that even if I master the complete version of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes, I can’t use it lightly, or else the damage to my body would be too great…” Xiao Yan sighed. Every advantage has its downside, and this was true indeed. Still, he had gained another trump card. If he were to truly engage in combat, the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Changes would shock everyone.
With these thoughts, Xiao Yan gradually focused. His gaze extended, and in the distance, he could faintly see the outline of a city.
“I wonder how the Little Healer Immortal’s situation is. I hope Liu Qing and the others have found out. Her Misfortune Poison Body is quite a troublesome condition. This kind of poison body has a rather infamous reputation. I hope nothing bad has happened.”
Xiao Yan muttered to himself, then sped up, becoming a blur of rainbow light streaking across the sky, speeding towards the distant city.
Xiao Yan’s figure soared through the sky and descended into the Heavenly Yellow City, landing in a secluded area in the west. After confirming the direction of the Liu residence, he walked slowly.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Yan arrived outside the Liu family estate. Before he could speak, several guards at the Liu family’s gate hastily approached, bowing respectfully, “Is it Mr. Yanxiao?”
This scene caught Xiao Yan by surprise. Unbeknownst to him, his name had spread widely in the Heavenly Yellow City, and everyone knew that the Liu family had a young alchemist of the Seventh Grade.
Although a bit puzzled, Xiao Yan still nodded with a smile. Seeing him nod, the guards’ respect grew, and one of them hurried to inform Liu Qing and the others while leading Xiao Yan into the estate.
Not long after entering the estate, Xiao Yan saw Liu Qing, Lin Yan, and others rushing towards him.
“You’re finally back. I was worried something happened in the Heavenly Flame Valley,” Liu Qing said with a relieved sigh, seeing that Xiao Yan was fine.
Xiao Yan smiled, “Nothing serious. I just spent some time helping the Heavenly Flame Valley refine some pills.”
“Good that you’re safe. But lately, our Liu family has become quite lively because of you,” Liu Qing grinned.
“Oh? Why?”
“Now many forces know that the Liu family has a Seventh Grade Alchemist, so they want to establish good relations and also try to get close to you, the young alchemy master. Alchemists are indeed the most sought-after profession,” Lin Yan said, full of envy.
“Indeed, many powerful forces have come, hoping to make you their honorary alchemist,” Liu Qing agreed.
“Becoming an honorary alchemist is unnecessary. I don’t want to stay and refine pills for them for a lifetime,” Xiao Yan shook his head, smiling.
“We knew you wouldn’t like it, so we turned them down with various excuses. These things, if mishandled, can cause a lot of trouble,” Liu Qing nodded.
Xiao Yan smiled, then steered the conversation back to business.
“Any news on the matter I mentioned last time?”
Liu Qing became more serious, leading Xiao Yan and the others to a stone pavilion. After everyone sat, he pondered, “Yes, we have some information.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan perked up slightly.
“The person you mentioned, Xinlan, is likely from the Ye family of the Pill Territory. Her full name is Ye Xinlan,” Liu Qing explained.
“Ye family?” Xiao Yan repeated, tapping his fingers on the stone table. “How strong is the Ye family?”
“Quite strong, far beyond our Liu family. Not any ordinary force can enter the Pill Tower’s Elder Council,” Liu Qing said. “In the Pill Territory, there are many powerful forces, but the ones closely related to the Pill Tower are five major families, and the Ye family is one of them. However, the Ye family is in decline, now at the bottom. They lost their position in the Pill Tower’s Elder Council two years ago, and if they continue, they might even be replaced by other forces.”
Xiao Yan nodded, understanding why the Ye family sent Xinlan to the Gantian Academy. Their situation must have worsened significantly.
“What conditions are needed to join the Pill Tower’s Elder Council?” Xiao Yan asked, since he had promised to help Xinlan, he needed to pay attention to this aspect, avoiding breaking his promise.
“I’m not entirely sure, but the requirements must be very strict. It’s the Pill Tower, and connections within it are necessary,” Liu Qing said with a bitter smile.
Xiao Yan nodded, deciding to discuss it slowly. “Any news on the Little Healer Immortal?”
Liu Qing hesitated, then said, “The Little Healer Immortal, do you mean the one with the legendary Misfortune Poison Body?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan tensed, nodded, and asked, “What’s going on?”
“In recent times, many people have been sent to gather information from the Pill Territory. The hot topic there is the Little Healer Immortal, who possesses the Misfortune Poison Body. This body type brings tremendous disaster, and it was thought to be extinct, but it has resurfaced,” Liu Qing said, his brows showing a hint of fear.
“Where is she now?” Xiao Yan asked, his tone low. Due to her tragic past and the poison body, he felt a special concern for her. She had always stayed by his side, loyal and supportive, and he reciprocated her trust. To help her, he had tried every method to alleviate her suffering. If anything happened, he would act!
“I don’t know her exact location. Many forces in the Pill Territory are searching for her, knowing the horrors her poison body can unleash. The Ice River Valley is the most frantic in their search.”
“Ice River Valley?” Xiao Yan’s expression changed.
“Yes, the Ice River Valley has always been interested in special body types. They might want to capture her because of her poison body,” Liu Qing said solemnly.
“From what we’ve gathered, the Little Healer Immortal recently fought with some Ice River Valley experts. Though she escaped, she must have sustained injuries, otherwise, she wouldn’t have disappeared for so long,” Lin Yan added.
Xiao Yan’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected such events during their separation.
“Ice River Valley…”
Clenching his fists, a cold, murderous intent flashed in Xiao Yan’s eyes. If the Little Healer Immortal encountered any misfortune, the Ice River Valley would pay in blood!
