Although Jia Nan Academy did not treat Zi Yan poorly, but —
There was no help for it, she gave too much.
Zi Yan's eyes rolled, and she smiled sweetly at Xiao Xue: "Sister, if you need to find herbs or any Heaven And Earth Treasure in the future, you can take me with you."
"Let me tell you, I'm really good at finding these things. As long as they exist, there's nothing I can't find!"
Xiao Xue smiled and nodded immediately, "Alright, I will definitely look for you."
Although there was a certain amount of exaggeration in Zi Yan's words, Xiao Xue fully acknowledged her treasure-hunting ability.
This could also be considered one of the innate talents of the Void Ancient Dragon lineage.
"Then, if I help you find herbs in the future, can you help me refine a few, as a reward for my help?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan was instantly overjoyed, her large, dark eyes filled with anticipation.
"As long as you can find them, of course there's no problem." Xiao Xue nodded readily.
"Little sister!"
Just as the two were talking, Xiao Yan's voice came from outside.
Clearly, he had also heard the news and rushed over.
Xiao Yi Xian opened the door of the Clinic and welcomed Xiao Yan in.
After a few pleasantries, Xiao Xue took out the Spirit Fruit given by the ancient tree from her storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"This Spirit Fruit can nourish the Soul and restore Qi. Of course, it requires some time in seclusion to refine."
Xiao Xue stopped at the right point; she knew Xiao Yan was a smart person and would understand her implication.
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, then immediately realized that this fruit was for Yao Lao.
Moreover, after consuming this fruit, Yao Lao would be offline for a few days.
Therefore, this process needed to be conducted in a relatively safe environment.
After Xiao Yan put the Spirit Fruit into Yao Lao's ring, he heard Xiao Xue ask, "By the way, brother, do you have a spirit storage in your possession?"
"A spirit storage? What do you need that for?" Xiao Yan was slightly stunned and asked.
"I got a Netherworld Poison Flame for Xian'er, so she might need a spirit storage," Xiao Xue said indifferently.
Xiao Yan: "..."
Yao Lao: "..."
Yao Lao actually had an extra spirit storage on hand.
Xiao Yan had already refined a Heavenly Flame and had a spirit storage in his body, so the extra one was useless; he gave it to Xiao Xue, who then gifted it to Xiao Yi Xian.
Regarding Xiao Xue giving the Netherworld Poison Flame directly to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao didn't say anything.
Xiao Yan now possessed a fused Heavenly Flame with power comparable to the twelfth-ranked one, as well as an Earth-rank Cultivation Method; it was enough for now.
Once he got his hands on the Jia Nan Academy's Fallen Heart Flame, the Flame Mantra would likely reach the high-tier earth rank.
The power of the fused Heavenly Flame would also at least Rank in the top ten.
Therefore, he wouldn't go so far as to snatch the Opportunity Xiao Xue gave to Xiao Yi Xian.
Moreover, with Xiao Yan's current cultivation, although the twentieth-ranked Netherworld Poison Flame might not burn him to death, it could definitely poison him to death.
Refining the Netherworld Poison Flame was equivalent to placing a fire seed inside the body that was constantly releasing deadly poison.
The poison of the Netherworld Poison Flame could even paralyze the Soul; even a Dou Zun would fall victim to it.
After all, when refining a Heavenly Flame, one needed to use Qi to drive it, making it travel through the meridians according to the path of the Cultivation Technique.
Letting such deadly poison flow through the meridians and infect the whole body—even a Dou Zun couldn't withstand such a thing.
Therefore, although its ranking was not high, except for a Poison Master with profound cultivation or someone with the Calamity Poison Body,
even a Dou Zun might not necessarily be able to refine it.
But within the body of a Calamity Poison Body, the effect of this thing was even better than the "cultivation cheat" Fallen Heart Flame.
It was equivalent to constantly providing poison to help you Upgrade.
In other words, after Xiao Yi Xian resolved the threat of the Calamity Poison Body, even if she did nothing, the Netherworld Poison Flame would help her slowly improve.
After gifting the spirit storage to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Xue turned to Xiao Yan.
"By the way, brother, in a few days, I plan to refine a soul cleansing toxin suppressing pill, and I would like to ask for your help then."
The sooner Xiao Yi Xian took the soul cleansing toxin suppressing pill, the lower the possibility of the Calamity Poison Body erupting; naturally, the earlier it was taken, the better.
And there was only one soul-clearing azure orchid after all; once it was gone, it was gone.
She currently had no experience in refining seventh-grade pills; even if she refined for a few months, she definitely couldn't compare to the Alchemist Grandmaster Yao Lao.
Rather than doing it herself, it was safer to let Yao Lao, who had refined the Spirit Fruit and whose Soul Power had recovered to the Dou Zong level, take action.
She could also take the Opportunity to watch how Yao Lao controlled the Bone Chilling Flame beside him; perhaps it could provide some reference for her own water-based alchemy.
Xiao Yan had not heard of the soul cleansing toxin suppressing pill, but Yao Lao naturally understood Xiao Xue's meaning and had Xiao Yan agree to it.
At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at Xiao Xue's Opportunity once again.
This girl's luck was just too good; in one year, she had found both the Netherworld Poison Flame and the soul-clearing azure orchid.
Of course, what surprised Yao Lao the most was Xiao Xue's cultivation: Seven-Star Dou Wang.
He knew that Xiao Xue did not have any special Physique like the Calamity Poison Body.
In that case, this speed of progress was a bit too exaggerated.
Xiao Yan had also jumped two major Realms in a year, but the difficulty of upgrading from Dou Ling to Dou Wang was much higher than from Dou Shi to Great Dou Master.
Then, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, who had obtained two Heavenly Flames in one year, and gradually understood everything.
— These siblings both had great Opportunities.
However, what Yao Lao was more concerned about now was another issue:
If he could recover to the Dou Zong level, he could naturally refine a seventh-grade pill, and taking action once wouldn't matter.
But... who would withstand that Pill Lightning?!
The Pill Lightning brought about by a seventh-grade pill was comparable to a full-power strike from a Dou Zong.
The Pill Lightning brought about by a pill like the soul cleansing toxin suppressing pill could even be comparable to a strike from a Five-Star Dou Zong; he simply couldn't block it.
It would be a small matter if the pill were destroyed, but if a person was struck by lightning during this process, that would be troublesome.
Yao Lao asked this question through Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yi Xian, who was on the side, was shocked when she heard this.
A pill that could attract Pill Lightning was of the seventh-grade level; could the teacher already be a Seventh-Rank Alchemist?!
Xiao Yi Xian did not know that although she had guessed the wrong Protagonist, her teacher was indeed not far from being a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.
"You don't need to worry about the Pill Lightning. I can... um, I have a helper."
Xiao Xue thought about it and decided not to expose Ali's existence for the time being.
Therefore, she raised her left hand, revealed the peach blossom mark, and summoned Medusa.
The next moment, Medusa appeared directly in the Clinic.
Xiao Xue pointed at Medusa, "Leave the Pill Lightning to her, no problem."
Medusa was currently a Seven-Star Dou Zong, while the Grand Elder of the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy was only a One-Star Dou Zong.
And the guardians of the Library Pavilion, The Two Elders Qian Bai, were two Peak Dou Zong who basically didn't care about anything all day; as long as Jia Nan Academy wasn't destroyed, they wouldn't take action.
If she wanted to bring a Seven-Star Dou Zong into the Inner Academy, it would certainly be quite troublesome.
Therefore, to save trouble, Xiao Xue did not let Medusa follow her directly, but instead kept the connection open so she could be called at any time.
For the current Medusa, blocking a common Pill Lightning was completely no issue at all.
Medusa was somewhat speechless; so Xiao Xue called her out just to tell her that in a few days she would have to go and be struck by lightning.
However, she didn't say anything.
Seeing that Medusa possessed such strength, Yao Lao put his mind at ease and had Xiao Yan agree to Xiao Xue's invitation.
"Sister Xue'er!"
At this moment, Xun'er suddenly pushed open the door of the Clinic.
Xun'er looked at Xiao Xue, and the first thing she saw was the peach blossom mark on Xiao Xue's left hand, emitting a faint pink light.
"Ah! What a beautiful peach blossom!" Xun'er couldn't help but think.
But when her gaze continued forward, what came into view was the exact same peach blossom mark on Medusa's palm next to Xiao Xue!
At this moment, the two peach blossoms were emitting a faint light.
In an instant, Xun'er felt a tightness in her chest, a complex mix of emotions.
She felt a bit uncomfortable, and also a bit aggrieved.
She stared blankly at the two peach blossoms and said softly in her heart, "It's not pretty..."
