Chapter 321 Xiao Yan meets Xiao Se

Chapter 321 Xiao Yan meets Xiao Se

When Yao Lao used his soul power to communicate with Xiao Yan, Xiao Se, and Medusa also discovered them.

"It seems like a little mouse has broken in." Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan, who was dressed as a snake girl at the back of the group of snakes and said to Xiao Se.

The strong always recognize people by their aura, and then their appearance. Xiao Yan's aura is different from that of the snake man, and Medusa can tell it at a glance.

"It's Xiao Yan from the Xiao family in Wutan City. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, don't worry about him." Xiao Se smiled slightly, took Medusa's hand, and boarded the chariot. Then, Qian Renxue and Butterfly, who were standing behind them, also boarded the chariot.

The snake group automatically made way for the carriage to pass. When passing where Xiao Yan was, Xiao Se and the other three glanced at Xiao Yan at the same time, raised the corners of their mouths slightly, and continued to move forward.

"Teacher, could it be that they have discovered me?" Xiao Yan swallowed.

"It should be. Their soul power is very strong. Even if I cover your breath for you, you still can't escape their perception." Yao Lao said with a wry smile.

At this point, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that Xiao Se was here, otherwise they would have entered a dangerous place.

With Queen Medusa, a Dou Zong powerhouse, around, they had almost no chance of escape.

"Dad, don't we need to care about that kid just now?" Qian Renxue held the bouquet and said to Xiao Se with a smile.

"Don't worry about him. He will be useful in the future." Xiao Se responded.

"Oh." Qian Renxue agreed deeply. In her opinion, Xiao Se always had his considerations in everything he did. What she liked was this strong self-confidence.

The lively wedding lasted until the night and ended only when the snake people were drunk.

Xiao Se was not stingy either. He took out a batch of elixirs that he had refined in the Monster Mountain Range several months ago as gifts to the Snake People. This made the elders of the Snake People very happy because, with Xiao Se's elixirs, the Snake People would be able to give birth to another Dou Huang powerful warrior within a few years.

"Teacher, the snake people are all drunk now, we can almost take action." Looking at the drunk snake people lying all over the street, Xiao Yan whispered.

He still hadn't given up hope on the very possible existence of the strange fire.

"Be careful, I sense that there are no less than six Douhuang masters and eight Douwang masters in this Holy City of Snake People, otherwise these snake people wouldn't be so drunk." Yao Lao reminded.

"Six Dou Huangs and eight Dou Wangs." Xiao Yan took a deep breath. He felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

At this moment, a hand patted Xiao Yan's shoulder on the back.

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously turned around and threw a punch, but missed.

"Is it my illusion?" Xiao Yan shrugged slightly. He thought that maybe he was too nervous during this time.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt someone patting his shoulder again. He turned around suddenly and still no one was there.

"What on earth is going on, teacher? It seems like someone just patted me." Xiao Yan said with a trembling voice. Oh my goodness, is this a ghost?

"Hehe, little friend, come out. Why do you have to tease my disciple like this? After all, you are from the same clan."

A flash of white light floated out from the black storage ring in Xiao Yan's hand, fell to the ground, and turned into the old figure of Yao Lao.

"The senior's soul power is indeed abnormal. It is estimated that he has reached the heavenly realm."

A red figure flashed out of nowhere and appeared in front of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan. It was Xiao Se.

"You are too kind, my friend. I am just a soul body, barely surviving." When talking about soul power, Yao Lao's eyes showed a hint of pride. He smiled and said, "You are so lucky, my friend. You can even conquer Queen Medusa of the Snake People."

"It's not a matter of conquest. It's just a coincidence that we fell in love with each other." Xiao Se narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't know why the senior hid in the snake tribe?"

"I was just strolling around and happened to see a friend getting married, so I wanted to come over and have a drink at the wedding." Yao Lao said vaguely.

"If that's the case, then Xiao Se will naturally welcome it. But senior, you'd better tell the truth. I don't mind, but my wife has a bad temper. After all, this is the snake tribe, and it concerns the safety of her people, so I can't interfere too much." Xiao Se pointed behind him and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan looked up at the building behind Xiao Se. There, Medusa stood on the roof, her hair rippling in the wind, her eyes sharp, and her proud figure, set off by the red dress, was in full view, her waist was like a willow, and her legs were straight and slender, full of beauty. She was heroic and gave people endless reverie.

But at this moment, they were not in the mood to appreciate it.

Yao Lao knew that if he didn't explain everything clearly today, he wouldn't be able to leave in peace. Not to mention what would happen to Xiao Se, even Queen Medusa would never let them leave in peace.

Compared to Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's mood was much more complicated. From the moment Xiao Se and Yao Lao started talking, he was almost ignored by Xiao Se the entire time. If it was a strange and powerful man, it would be fine, but this person was the abandoned child of the Xiao family whom he once disdained.

The man who had no sense of existence but won Xun'er's heart.

Now seeing Medusa standing behind Xiao Se, he felt an unknown fire in his heart, as if everything Xiao Se had should have belonged to him, but now it had been snatched away from him.

"To be honest, we were attracted by the huge explosion in the depths of the Tagor Desert two months ago." The situation was stronger than the person, so Yao Lao would not honestly confess that they were here to find the strange fire. What if Xiao Se didn't know that there was a strange fire in the Tagor Desert? So he attributed the cause to the huge pit created by Xiao Se's Five Wheels of Fire Separation.

Hearing Yao Lao's obvious lie, Xiao Se almost laughed out loud. The huge pit was not caused by the explosion but was directly burned by the Five-Wheel Fire Formation formed by the Five-Wheel Fire Method. There was no sound at all. As expected, Yao Lao sensed the breath of the strange fire.

Xiao Se did not intend to expose the truth, "If that is the case, then I have wronged you, Senior. Please leave on your own."

"Goodbye." Yao Lao did not expect Xiao Se to be so easy to talk to, and he did not think much about it. His whereabouts had been exposed, and the most urgent thing was to leave this place of trouble.

Just as Yao Lao was about to return to Xiao Yan's ring, Xiao Se's voice sounded in his ears again: "Senior, please wait a moment."

"Do you regret it?" Yao Lao narrowed his eyes. Being threatened by a junior, he felt a little angry.

Xiao Se raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Senior, you misunderstood. You are an old senior. As long as you don't do anything that harms my wife's clan, we won't make things difficult for you. I just want to make another deal with you."

"Oh, young man, why don't you tell me about it?" Hearing Xiao Se's words, Yao Lao immediately became interested. He was quite satisfied with the last transaction.

A blood-red light flashed from Xiao Se's right eye and floated into Xiao Yan's eyes. The latter was stunned in place for a moment, his eyes dull.

"Please forgive me, senior. There are some things that Xiao Yan cannot access now." Xiao Se bowed.

Yao Lao nodded: "If you have anything to say, just tell me now."

"Strange fire, I want the strange fire from the senior." Xiao Se said with a smile.

Yao Lao frowned and said, "Young man, are you kidding me?"

Although he was afraid of Xiao Se and Medusa, he was still afraid of them.

The Bone Spirit Cold Fire is the basis of his survival now, he will never hand it over. If he gets angry, the worst that can happen is a fight to the death.

"Senior, won't you listen to what I am willing to give in exchange?" Xiao Se threw a scroll in his hand, which recorded the method of resurrection mentioned in the Burning Decision.

"Where did you get it?" He took the scroll, opened it, and took a look. Now he could no longer remain calm.

"Oh? It seems that you have also heard about it. I got this from a guy who betrayed his teacher and ancestors after I killed him." Xiao Se pretended to be surprised.

"Who is he?" Upon hearing this, Yao Lao asked.

"Han Feng." Xiao Se said these two words calmly, then looked Yao Lao up and down, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the senior is the senior Yao Zunzun who is known as the number one alchemist on the continent?"

"That's right." Yao Lao nodded, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes, and then he asked solemnly: "Did you kill Han Feng?"

Xiao Se said seriously: "This matter has spread in the Black Horn Region. You can go and confirm it at any time."

"I never thought that the beast would die in your hands in the end." Yao Lao took a deep breath, his tone filled with a hint of regret and sadness.

"I wonder what you think, senior? You won't lose out by exchanging a strange fire that is dispensable to you now for a chance to be reborn." Xiao Se said lightly.

Yao Lao looked at the dazed Xiao Yan, then looked at Xiao Se. After being in a daze for decades as a soul, to be honest, he was already somewhat tempted. After all, his original intention of training Xiao Yan was to revive him.

"Have you succeeded in your cultivation?" Yao Lao asked uncertainly.

"Of course." Xiao Se lowered his eyelids, his heart moved, and four flames, one blue, one pink, one milky white, and one dark blue, swirled around him. In an instant, the temperature around him soared.

"Falling Heart Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire, Sea Heart Flame, and a kind of strange fire I have never seen before, four kinds of strange fire you..." Yao Lao took a breath of cold air. Now he finally knew that Xiao Se had a talent similar to Xiao Yan, but he was able to advance from a small fighter to the peak of Dou Huang and even the current half-step Dou Zong in just four years. With such an opportunity, if he swallowed any other strange fire, he would probably step directly into the Dou Zong level.

Yao Lao looked at Medusa, then at Xiao Se, and seemed to understand something. He then recalled how Xiao Se didn't care at all when he got the poison pill method, and suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder. A young friend has great luck."

"I don't know what you think, senior. If you agree, I will start to resurrect you once I gather all the materials." Xiao Se said, "I may not be able to make the eighth-grade bone-melting blood pill with my current ability, but I have a good chance of making the seventh-grade Yin-Yang Soul Pill. Of course, if Senior gives me the strange fire and teaches me the secret alchemy technique of 'Spirit Ascension', I will still have great hope of making the bone-melting blood pill after breaking through the Dou Zong level. As for the corpse, it is not difficult for me to get a huge and complete Dou Zong skeleton."

"I have to say that your conditions are very tempting, and your prospects are limitless. But you are too mysterious. I can't trust you completely. Besides," Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and groaned for a moment, "I believe him."

"That's a pity." Xiao Se's tone was slightly regretful, but he didn't show any surprise. After Han Feng's betrayal, it would be strange if he trusted others so easily. "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. Please do as you wish."

Xiao Se snapped his fingers and dispelled Xiao Yan's illusion.

Yao Lao nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, took out a scroll from the black ring in Xiao Yan's hand, flicked his finger, and the scroll automatically floated towards Xiao Se.

Xiao Se opened it and saw that it was the secret method of "Spirit Ascension". A secret technique that can improve the quality of the elixir. He was a little surprised and asked: "Senior, what is this?"

Yao Laodao said: "I never want to owe anyone a favor. This is your reward for cleaning up the mess for me."

As he spoke, Yao Lao possessed Xiao Yan's body in front of his astonished gaze. Xiao Yan's cultivation level skyrocketed instantly, and he spread his dark white wings of fighting spirit. With a flap of his wings, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the dark sky.

"Why don't you keep him? Although the old guy was very powerful when he was alive, with the strength of you and me, we can keep him. And that kid named Xiao Yan seems to have shown hostility towards you. I don't think you didn't notice it." At this time, Queen Medusa flew to Xiao Se and asked in confusion.

"Don't underestimate Yao Lao. He was a Dou Zun peak warrior when he was alive. If he is pushed to the limit and explodes himself, we will be fine, but the people of the Snake Clan will suffer. Besides, our real enemy is not Yao Lao. There is no need to make enemies with him for a mere strange fire. As for Xiao Yan, we still need him to attract the attention of the Soul Clan for us, so let him do whatever he wants for the time being." Xiao Se sneered. With his intervention, Xiao Yan could still do some things in the early stage, but his upper limit had been strangled in the cradle.

Not only was the strange fire gone, but he was also completely out of reach of the great opportunity in the Heavenly Tomb.

On the other side, Yao Lao controlled Xiao Yan's body and flew to Shimo City.

"Teacher, what did Xiao Se talk to you about just now? And what about that favor?" He just felt a moment of trance in his mind, and when he woke up, Xiao Se had already finished talking with Yao Lao.

"This is not something you should be involved in yet. When you reach a certain level of strength, I will naturally tell you." Yao Lao hesitated for a moment and responded.

"Then teacher, where are we going next?" Seeing that Yao Lao was unwilling to mention it, Xiao Yan did not ask any more questions. His priority was to improve his strength. To deal with the three-year agreement in one year. He would get back Xiao Se's "hatred of having his wife stolen" in the future.

"The Monster Mountain Range." Yao Lao said indifferently.

"The Monster Mountain Range?" Xiao Yan was puzzled. They had only been away from the Monster Mountain Range for less than three months. Why were they going back again?

"Well, this is a stupid way. The strange fire in the Tagor Desert has been refined by Xiao Se, so you can only settle for the second best and refine the beast fire. The power of the beast fire is far less than that of the strange fire. Perhaps one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand beast fires are not as powerful as one strange fire, but in terms of improving your cultivation, you can win by quantity. If you want to beat Nalan Yanran in a year, you must at least improve your cultivation to the level of a great fighter. The beast fire of those fifth-tier, fourth-tier, and even third-tier monsters in the Monster Mountain Range is your only way to quickly improve your strength." Originally, he planned to take Xiao Yan to Canaan College, but the Fallen Heart Flame was already in Xiao Se's hands, so it would be useless to go there.
