Chapter 142 The End
On a peak in the Lihuo Mountains, suddenly, a silver halo tore through the surrounding space, and four figures jumped out of it.

“Is this… Lihuo Mountains?” Venerable Feng was suspended in mid-air, looking at the surrounding woods and the people moving around below. His sight moved forward and he saw that the destination of those people was the entrance to the ruins.

“I didn’t expect that Black Saint would teleport us directly outside, so we don’t have to rush out inside.” Skyfire Venerable steadied his body, turned his head to look at Xiao Yun, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

“Xiao Yun, what are you holding in your hand? And your cultivation?”

He was a little bit unbelieving. Looking at the item in Xiao Yun’s hand, he doubted his own eyes, but he could not forget that familiar fluctuation.

“Master Huo, this is the Fallen Heart Flame. With the help of the Black Saint, I have separated it from the body. Now I am returning it to you.” Xiao Yun handed the stone cage to the Skyfire Venerable with a smile.

“As for my cultivation, I have now reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Zong!”

“!” Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in the eyes of Venerable Feng and Venerable Tiejian. When Xiao Yun entered the ruins, he only had the strength of a two-star Dou Zong. In less than a year, he actually skyrocketed to an eight-star peak Dou Zong!

Moreover, looking at the attributes of the fighting spirit in his body, there is no sense of emptiness that comes from being forcibly enhanced. Instead, it is extremely powerful, as if it was cultivated step by step.

But how is this possible? It would take an ordinary person decades to achieve the six-star level of cultivation. Even a genius would need five or six years.

Xiao Yun’s aura now is completely different from when he first entered the ruins!

“The inheritance of a semi-saint! It is indeed so terrifying!” Venerable Feng was shocked and asked immediately, “If you separate the Fallen Heart Flame, then you will have no other fire to use, right?”

“Actually, it’s not a matter of inheritance, and I can use it…” Xiao Yun was about to explain when the bone inflammation ring on his finger suddenly trembled. The next moment, Yao Lao’s figure emerged from it and interrupted him.

“I’m dying of suffocation! You little brat, why did you seal me up? My soul can’t even detect the outside world with my perception! For six months! I can only sleep through it!”

The first thing Yao Lao did when he came out was to point at Xiao Yun’s head and question him. When he became emotional, he even knocked on his head with his fingers.

“Haha, old man, it’s only six months. We have been waiting for Xiaoyun for that long.”

“Next time, let’s try staying in the ring for six months. It’s such a small place, dark as hell, I want to see if you can bear it!” Hearing what Venerable Feng said, Yao Lao became even more angry and sneered.

“That’s not necessary. I’m living well now.” Master Feng quickly waved his hands to admit defeat, then put his hand on his mouth to indicate that he was going to shut up.

After dealing with Venerable Feng, Yao Lao turned his attention to Xiao Yun. He sneered and said in a cold voice, “Stinky boy, tell me why you sealed me up and why you took out the Fallen Heart Flame. You’d better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise…”

At the end of the conversation, Yao Lao just snorted. Everyone present understood that if Xiao Yun could not give a reasonable explanation, he would inevitably be beaten by the elders with concern.

“Yao Lao, don’t be anxious. Listen to my explanation.” Seeing Yao Lao’s fist as big as a sandbag, Xiao Yun hurriedly put it down, then took Hei Sheng away, and asked him to accept the inheritance and explained it briefly.

“After you left, Senior Black Saint took me to the underground magma world… and in the end, I absorbed the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame. It was also because of some of the energy it brought that my cultivation level reached the eight-star Dou Zong level.”

“Hiss!” After listening to Xiao Yun’s explanation, the four elders opened their mouths wide and took a deep breath, making a great contribution to the global warming of the Douqi Continent.

“It’s so scary, it’s so scary…”

“You are so lucky, kid. I have nothing to say!” Skyfire Venerable said, even the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand was not fragrant anymore.

Even the usually taciturn Master Iron Sword expressed his admiration.

“Eight Desolations Destruction Flame? Is it the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame that ranks sixth on the Strange Fire Ranking?” Yao Lao’s reaction was even crazier. He grabbed Xiao Yun’s shoulders with both hands and shook them continuously, “Quickly take it out and let me see it!”

Old Man Yao was really going crazy. He had worked hard in the extremely cold land for more than ten years and was almost dying before he got the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, which was ranked eleventh.

Moreover, his family is a famous medicine clan known for its alchemists, and the highest-level one among them is only Jiuyou Fengyan, who is ranked tenth.

As for Xiao Yun, he had the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in front, then the Fallen Heart Flame in the middle, and now after entering the ruins, he actually encountered the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, a strange fire that ordinary alchemists would hardly see once in their lifetime, and he had encountered four of them in total!
He really couldn’t accept this huge gap for a while.

Being shaken like this, Xiao Yun felt as if his whole body was about to be shaken apart, and hurriedly said, “Master Yao, please stop shaking it, I’ll take it out and show it to you!”

“Brother Yao, listen to Xiaoyun, and by the way, let me take a look at this sixth-ranked strange fire.” Venerable Skyfire stepped forward and quickly pulled Yao Lao down.

After Yao Lao let go, Xiao Yun straightened his clothes, looked up at everyone, and said with a smile: “Stay away, the fire is a bit strong.”

Hearing these Versailles words, Feng Zunzhe and others curled their lips, but still honestly took a few steps back.

Watching Master Feng and the others retreat twenty meters away, Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and the next moment, a surging black flame emerged from his body.

“Myna, how about coming out for some fresh air?” The only answer he got was an earth-shaking dragon roar. The next moment, countless black flames condensed into a huge black dragon, hovering in the air.

The moment the black dragon appeared, it was as if ten suns appeared in the sky. The temperature around it rose sharply, and even the space became somewhat distorted. A terrifying aura shrouded the mountain.

“This…” Reverend Skyfire and the others looked at each other, and saw a hint of panic in each other’s eyes. The momentum of this black dragon was such that they felt that even if they attacked together, they would not be able to withstand a few hits.

“The fire is pitch black, its nature is annihilation, it can burn mountains and boil seas, it is omnipotent…” Yao Lao looked at the black dragon hovering in the air with an unbelievable look on his face, and murmured in a low voice: “This is the sixth-ranked Eight Desolate Destruction Flame!”

“Roar!” After flying a circle, the black dragon drilled back into Xiao Yun’s body, leaving only black flames in the sky, proving that everything that had just happened was not a dream.

“How about this fire? Hahaha!” Xiao Yun laughed a few times and walked quickly in front of the few people, with a wisp of black flame dancing on his fingertips.

“Terrible! It’s worthy of being the sixth-ranked strange fire!” Reverend Feng and the others nodded sincerely, not only because of the amazing power of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, but it itself was amazing enough!

“Tsk tsk, brat, your luck is really, too amazing.” Yao Lao, who originally wanted to give an explanation, kept silent about the matter the moment he saw Hei Yan.

“Not only the strange fire, but all of Senior Black Saint’s life’s collections were passed on to me.” Xiao Yun took back the flame with a smile, then took out a black scroll from the ring and handed it to Yao Lao who was standing beside him.

“Master Yao, please take a look at this pill recipe.”

Yao Lao took the scroll and slowly opened it. He was instantly attracted by the contents and looked very serious. Feng Zunzun at the side couldn’t help but come over to take a look.

After a while, Yao Lao finally raised his head, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, and he said excitedly: “This pill is really terrifying, and the strong man who can create this pill is even more amazing.”

“If it weren’t for the restriction on only those with fire attributes, I’m afraid they could all be considered ninth-grade!”

“Brother Yao, what kind of elixir makes you so excited?” Venerable Tianhuo couldn’t help but ask when he saw Yao Lao’s expression.

Venerable Feng smiled slightly and said slowly: “Fire Returning Pill!”

“!” Skyfire Venerable widened his eyes, unable to believe, “Is it the one that Black Saint took out earlier?”

“That’s right, Brother Huo, you are blessed!” said Master Feng with a smile, his eyes full of envy.

This can improve the cultivation level of a fire-attributed Dou Zun by one star, and the effect is not the same as that of a Dou Zun Yi Dan.

If a fire attribute Dou Zun can take a Huo Huan Dan and then a Zun Yi Dan, he can improve his cultivation by two stars in a short period of time! It saves decades of time!
The most important thing is that the Fire Rejuvenating Pill will not be completely absorbed after being taken. Some of the medicinal power will remain hidden in the body, and when you break through to the semi-saint level, the chance will be increased by another 10%! Don’t underestimate this 10% chance. Countless nine-star peak Dou Zun will be stuck at the semi-saint level, and it will be difficult to break through even if they reach the limit.

If they knew there was a pill that could increase the chance by 10%, they would agree to it without hesitation, even if it meant going through fire and water.

“Master Feng, maybe you will be lucky too.” Xiao Yun smiled slightly, then turned to look at Master Yao and asked, “Master Yao, do you think this elixir can be changed? For example, replace the Fiery Fire Tree Root with…”

He expressed his ideas and discussed with Yao Lao. The two eighth-grade alchemy masters were discussing on the top of the mountain how to change the recipe of the Fire-Returning Pill. Feng Zunzhe and others who were not alchemists were confused, but they did not know how to ask, so they could only wait anxiously on the side.

After a long while, Yao Lao, who had finished the discussion, nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: “Your idea is not bad, and your vision is almost catching up with mine now. However, this matter is not so easy to improve. I will take the recipe first and return it to you when we arrive at Xingyun Pavilion.”

After saying that, Yao Lao took the black scroll and went back into the Osteoarthritis Ring, apparently to study it.

“This…, Xiao Yun, is there any hope of changing?” Venerable Feng looked at Xiao Yun expectantly, and even Venerable Tiejian behind him felt the same way. After all, they both had the same wind-attributed fighting spirit, and if it could really change, the latter would also have a chance to take it.

“There is great hope, but it’s hard to say about this kind of thing. After all, it is an eighth-grade top-level elixir. When we return to Xingyun Pavilion, Yao Lao and I will study it further. If it doesn’t work, we’ll go to Dan Tower to ask.” Xiao Yun was not very sure either, so he said truthfully.

“Yes!” Venerable Feng nodded vigorously. If this elixir could really change things, then he would have a chance to break through to the semi-saint level!
“Senior Tiejian, if the elixir can change, I will definitely prepare one for you.” Seeing the expression of Venerable Feng, Xiao Yun smiled slightly, then turned his head and said to Venerable Tiejian behind him.

“I need no thanks for your kindness! My dear friend, I will remember this favor!” Upon hearing this, Venerable Tiejian said solemnly.

“Since everything is fine here, let’s return to Xingyun Pavilion as soon as possible!” Venerable Feng patted Venerable Tiejian on the shoulder. The latter was his life and death friend. He would be very happy if they could get the elixir together.

But Xiao Yun shook his head and said calmly: “No hurry, Elder Feng, we still have to go to Luoshen Gorge!”

“What are you going there for? There’s poison gas everywhere. It’s not a good place.”

“That’s what we need! There happens to be one of the seventh-level Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast that Xian’er needs!”

After saying that, Xiao Yun’s figure flashed, flew into the air, and turned into a stream of light, flying quickly towards the location of Luoshen Gorge. Behind him, Feng Zunzhe and others hurriedly followed.
