Chapter 172 Fighting Saint, is it difficult?
“The intelligence has been basically destroyed by the resentment, and I can’t sense any useful information at all.”

Xiao Yan stood on the chains, swaying in the wind. The cold soul power spread out like ink, covering the entire basin within his perception range.

But apart from the low humming sounds coming from across the seal, all that was picked up in the perception field was a chaotic mess. After listening for a long time, no complete sentence could be put together.

“Teacher, should we roast it now? Will this damage the essence of our soul?”

Withdrawing his perception, Xiao Yan ignited the strange fire in his hand. He looked around for the weak spots on the seal, intending to give this unstable water balloon a shot.

Although the levels of these souls are not very high and are far inferior to the guardians, they are still a high-purity energy that must be tasted.

It doesn’t matter if the quality of the materials is not good. As long as Yao Lao personally handles it, I believe everything can be turned into treasure.

“…?”

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Xiao Yan used his soul power to poke the ring a few times: “Teacher! Do you want to roast it directly with fire?”

“Grilled? What are you grilling? Braised!”

Yao Lao, who was buried in a pile of books, responded rather irritably. All his thoughts were still on the Wings of the Tianyan Jiuxing, and he was too lazy to bother to pay attention to Xiao Yan.

“Uh~”

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then shut up obediently, allowing him to have some quiet time to study the secret technique.

Unfortunately, the actual help is quite limited.

Yao Lao calmed down for only three to five minutes before he put down the scroll, and was furious at the words on it: “Another scattered paragraph of only a few dozen words… Can’t these people talk a little more?”

It was as if he was afraid that someone would learn from him secretly. He was so secretive and stingy, as if saying half a word more would cost him his life.

But when someone really writes down the detailed process…

“What on earth is written here? Are you afraid that I will understand it? You deserve to have your secrets lost!”

Throughout the whole book, there are twists and turns everywhere, which seem to deliberately make things difficult for people and raise the cost of understanding. There are even a lot of special words and sentences that are half-understood, and you have to guess what they refer to.

After reading it all the way through, even Yao Lao, with his temperament, couldn’t persevere and had to look for another book.

I have to say, the benefits of having a rich collection have finally been realized.

All the various ancient books accumulated by Yao Lao were put to use to some extent. Even if the content recorded in them had nothing to do with flying fighting skills, and only vaguely mentioned them in a few words, that was enough.

After all, there were at least 1,800 ancient books and scrolls piled up in front of him.

As long as you flip through dozens of similar books and put together a hundred sentences of description, you can basically estimate the process of the relevant secret method. The more you read, the closer you will be to the goal of reproducing its operation.

“Hey, it’s been a long time since I put so much effort into researching something. I’m a little uncomfortable with this all of a sudden.”

Yao Lao was floating in the ring. The scrolls and bamboo slips piled up like mountains and seas around him made people dizzy, but he saw them clearly. His soul power naturally touched the spine of the book: “Materials, Natural History… Forging!”

This is it~
“The low-level ‘artifacts’ that have undergone preliminary refining can be used as materials for further forging and upgrading. The worse the foundation, the more times you upgrade, and the more difficult and failure rates you will encounter during the upgrade.”

“…Continue to strengthen?”

Yao Lao’s gaze stopped at this passage. After thinking for a moment, he flipped through a few pages to see if there were any relevant procedures or specific descriptions.

Unfortunately, as expected, the pages of the second half of the book had long since rotted and fallen off, and the writing on the dozen or so remaining sheets had also faded.

The answer is obvious.

Try it yourself.

The more times you fail, the more experience you gain.

“After all this fuss, there is still no substantial gain.” Yao Lao sealed the ancient book with some regret, and looked at Jiu Xing Yi with a gleam in his eyes.

This Sky Goose Nine-Line Wings might be able to produce wings that are comparable to Heavenly Grade Body Movements. Even if not, there is a possibility of continued improvement through subsequent reinforcements.

At the moment, the most important significance of this thing is that its production method and operating principle are different from those of Ziyunyi. It can even be said that they are two completely different systems.

“If the two can be combined, maybe… it will become a piece of equipment that is completely integrated into the body?”

Yao Lao stroked his beard, with hesitation in his eyes.

After all, he had never heard of anyone being able to do this before. If it was an extremely dangerous project, Xiao Yan might have died on the spot.

“Teacher, can you lend me the Black Demon Cauldron?”

“Here… remember to wash it twice after use and simmer it on low heat for a quarter of an hour.”

“Uh~Are you sure you want to do that?”

“What do you say? Just do it if I tell you to!”

Yao Lao was worried about the future, so he casually said a few words and sent Xiao Yan away, then continued to study the secret technique itself.

“What a pity! If I had a few high-grade flying monster essences for experiments, the rest of the problem would be much easier to solve. At least I could study the survival principle of the Purple Cloud Wing.”

As for why I didn’t choose the Lion King’s blood…

Amethyst beasts do not have wings, and red sun lions are purely local tyrants. God knows what bloodline this group of amethyst winged lions have, as they inexplicably grew a pair of wings.

Besides, he couldn’t use it even if he wanted to.

The overall structure of the Lion King’s wings is similar to that of a dragon’s wings, which does not match the shape required by the Tianyan Nine-Line Wings. Who knows what kind of accidents will happen if they are used as experimental materials.

“Oh! If only I were still in Zhongzhou, this little thing could be solved by the auction house.”

Yao Lao used his soul power to clean the sea of ​​books, but he turned out a pair of iron wings with black gold edges from the corner. Although the owner had died long ago, the remaining soul breath on the wings was still strong.

This thing looks to be of pretty good quality, maybe it can be used as an experimental material.

“What kind of wings are these?”

Dry owl ape?
Recognizing its origin, Yao Lao was slightly stunned: “I have been so busy lately that I actually forgot about this thing. I was wondering why there is an extra object here…”

His fingers brushed across the feathers, and the strange fire penetrated into the wings in the form of fine threads, reactivating the closed meridians:
“In terms of racial bloodline, it is qualified, but it is just an unwashed seventh-level material. I don’t know if the remaining blood essence can be used.”

But it’s not a big problem. If the requirements are not met, just pluck all the feathers and put the rest into the medicine cauldron to make pills, and basically squeeze out all the surplus value.

……

“Pululu~”

The bright red thick soup was churning endlessly, with alluring aromas rising from the constantly popping bubbles. The various medicinal herbs wrapped in the thick soup were quietly releasing their medicinal power, gradually mixing and taking shape in this strange preparation method.

As soon as Yao Lao poked his head out of the storage ring, this was the first scene he saw.

“Om…”

The Black Demon Cauldron, which was surrounded by the smell of fireworks, was unable to ring, as if it was groaning in pain, but it was unable to get rid of the sugar color that covered the walls of the cauldron.

Even the flame-shaped patterns on its body that were used to increase its power had become grooves for seasoning to adhere to, making it more flavorful.

Coupled with the strange fire burning fiercely under the cauldron, which was leaping steadily like a fountain, even Yao Lao himself had to be stunned for a long while before he dared to recognize the Black Demon Cauldron.

“Xiao Yanzi, what are you doing?”

Yao Lao pointed at his precious medicine cauldron with trembling hands, and his non-existent blood pressure began to soar. If he still had a physical body, he would probably be separated from his soul and ascend to heaven in the next second.

What on earth have you done? It’s your uncle! How can you be so cruel to treat it like this?

“Braised.”

Xiao Yan, who was sitting beside the cauldron, had a serious look on his face. He stared at the bottom of the pot without daring to be careless. He stirred the Xuan Zhong ruler in his hand back and forth like a spatula to prevent the strange fire from destroying all the herbs.

Although he had tried some weird operations before, they were nothing compared to what he was doing now.

When refining the elixir, he stuck close to the wall of the cauldron, and was slow to extract the essence, so that the medicinal properties and power were all stewed in one pot, and the elixir had already emitted a fragrant aroma but had not yet solidified… His messy operation almost overturned most of the alchemist’s rules, and was a clear heresy.

If he were seen by those old monsters, it would be because of his inconvenient legs and feet if he couldn’t chase him for a thousand miles.

“Kuang.”

Xiao Yan paused with the spatula in his hand: “Although I don’t know why you want this, Teacher, I can only try my best. I don’t know if I can meet your requirements.”

Until now, Yao Lao’s suggestions on major issues have all been correct, and everything he does and says is for his own good.

Since he said so, I have confirmed it again and again~
Then just go for it!
The teacher must have his reasons for giving such instructions.

“this?”

Yao Lao’s expression suddenly paused as his emotions were brewing. His lips twitched for a long time, but he couldn’t spit out the words stuck in his mouth. He could only watch with lifeless eyes as he continued to ravage the one he loved.

Why did things develop to this point…

I’m sorry, I’m really… sorry.

“Kucchacha——”

Xiao Yan scraped the bottom of the pot vigorously: “Teacher, what are you looking at me doing?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Yao Lao’s brows trembled constantly. Even in his dreams, he would not dare to toss the medicine cauldron so hard. Even if the cauldron exploded, he would pour out the pills at the first time. He would rather explode his own face than let the Black Magic Cauldron suffer.

“That’s good~”

Xiao Yan felt that the Xuan Zhong Chi in his hand became more and more convenient to use. If the Black Demon Cauldron did not have a handle, he would have wanted to try whether this thing could be used to lift the pot.

“Dang! Dang!”

“Hey!”

Yao Lao’s brows jumped suddenly, then slowly calmed down: “Well, be gentle…don’t scratch it.”

Although he didn’t want to admit it in his heart, he was indeed looking forward to the result of the pill making in a shameful way. As the Black Magic Cauldron looked more and more like a pot, he even became nervous like a child.

Can something made like this really be eaten?
“Don’t worry~”

Xiao Yan was quite confident in the hardness of this thing: “Teacher, you should be worried about the Xuanzhong Ruler.”

……

“Xiao Yan, why does this smell like medicine? It’s like it was just dug out from a pile of pills?”

Xiao Yixian frowned and fanned the air to disperse the thick airflow in front of her. With a poisonous body, her attitude towards these pills was far less crazy than that of ordinary people, and she was even a little tired of eating them: “Not only that, but there is also a strange feeling.”

She brought it closer with a subtle look and sniffed it, then reached out and touched the surface: “Is it flavorful?”

What on earth did you do with it to make this indestructible heavy ruler become like this?

“Well, maybe? Maybe it can be removed by washing.”

Xiao Yan looked away awkwardly and looked back at the depths of the basin. Yao Lao was still holding the Black Demon Cauldron in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking about. The scene looked quite sad.

But…I don’t think it will be a big deal.

After all, he actually managed to make this elixir that could bring countless ancestors back to life.

The overall effect is nothing more than retaining a lot of impurities, diluting the ingredients that should belong to the elixir into a basin of volume. The original simple act of taking the elixir was forced to become eating, and swallowing everything to obtain the same medicinal effect as taking the elixir.

Instead of going through all this trouble, it would be better to just condense the pill directly.

and many more……

“Hiss~ I understand!”

Xiao Yan suddenly clapped his fists and his mind became clear, and he understood Yao Lao’s good intentions.

This allowed him to gradually explore the original stage of alchemy and understand the development process of the entire system! From the most ancient preparation of medicine, to extracting essence, and finally slowly adding various fusion mutations and flames…

Don’t even say it!

After thinking this in his mind, and adding to the attempt just now, Xiao Yan instantly figured out why those strange operations in the alchemy process existed, and he could even deduce some other solutions.

I benefited a lot from this trip.

“As expected, he is the best alchemist in the continent. Even his teaching methods are unique!”

“Ah…Ah?”

The Little Medical Fairy waved her hand in front of him and said, “What are you thinking about? You look so focused and absorbed.”

“Well…I just feel like I still have a lot to learn.”

Xiao Yan patted Little Medical Fairy’s head with emotion: “The higher your cultivation level, the more you come into contact with others, and the more you can feel the limitations of your own abilities.”

It would be great if there was a system where all kinds of knowledge could be hot-swapped with one click, so that we don’t have to explore hard.

“You still have to learn?”

The little medical fairy’s eyes were full of weirdness.

Xiao Yan now seems to be in a state of compulsion, wanting to try out everything he encounters. When he left Chuyun, he took away a large pile of poison scriptures, saying that he wanted to use them as a basis to study how to use the Netherworld Poison Fire.

But in the end, it was basically used to temper the body.

On the way, he showed her a new and interesting thing called soul cultivation, and said that he would teach her step by step after her body caught up…

He is very busy.

“Why are you making yourself so nervous? With your current talent, it shouldn’t be difficult to reach Dou Sheng in twenty years! Oh, right~ there’s less time now.”

Little Doctor Fairy felt suffocated just by looking at him. She always felt that the other party seemed to have arranged everything in a process, with each step pressing forward and each linking together.

“…?”

Xiao Yan remained silent with a horrified expression: “You don’t think it’s easy to become a Dou Sheng!”

is it hard?
Xiao Yixian was a little confused, obviously stumped by the question: “Aren’t Dou Sheng strongmen only at the ninth level… You are almost at the sixth level now…”

have to.

Xiao Yan rubbed his face vigorously: “Okay~ Suddenly I realized that you need to learn more than me. It seems that there is a lot of knowledge waiting for you.”
