115: Candle World

Hearing this, Zhu Li frowned slightly, thinking, "This young man is a bit too arrogant!"

He was talking about Zi Yan's cultivation in front of him, an Elder of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

However, due to Xiao Lei's cultivation, Zhu Li still said amiably, "Friend, although my cultivation is not as high as yours, I have quite a bit of experience in cultivating the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, and I am very clear about the medicinal Materials and their ratios needed for various cultivation methods!"

"Then, historically, how many Dragon Phoenixes has the Void Ancient Dragon Clan cultivated?"

Hearing this, Zhu Li paused. dragon phoenix origin fruit had only appeared a few times in history. Originally, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Tribe had cultivated one Dragon Phoenix, which once suppressed the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. After a hundred years, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan also cultivated a Dragon Phoenix.

However, both of them perished in battle!

This led to the cultivation methods of that time becoming a mystery.

In truth, Zhu Li's current cultivation of Zi Yan was like feeling his way across a river.

"Alas! I am ashamed. The Void Ancient Dragon Clan has only produced one Dragon Phoenix in its history, and the cultivation method has been lost!"

These were all things Xiao Lei already knew, which was why he had reminded Hei Qing not to rush Zi Yan's cultivation.

"I forgot to introduce myself, Elder Zhu Li. I am also an Alchemist. My rank is unclear, but refining a Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pill is no problem at all!"

Within the Pill Tower, just the Grand Elder was a Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pill Alchemist, and that didn't even count the Alchemy of the other Elders Xiao Lei had copied, nor Yao Lao's Alchemy.

"Ninth-grade Alchemist!"

Hei Qing and Zhu Li were both startled. Hei Qing was even more horrified. The first time he met Xiao Lei, he was an Eight-star Dou Zun, just like him. How did he become a Ninth-grade Alchemist after only about two years!

The subsequent appearance of different flames immediately dispelled their doubts.

"Eight Desolations Destruction Flame! Three Thousand Burning Flame, Bone Chilling Flame..."

Eleven different flames appeared before their eyes. To possess so many different flames, it was hard not to be convinced.

"There are a total of twenty-two different flames on the continent, and half of them actually appeared on one person!"

This didn't even include the sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.

"Master Xiao, in your opinion, how should we cultivate Zi Yan?"

Facing an Alchemist Great Grandmaster who might possess Ninth-grade Alchemy, Zhu Li humbly sought his guidance.

"The core of Zi Yan's cultivation lies in allowing her to completely absorb the energy of the dragon phoenix origin fruit. However, this item's energy is exceptionally explosive. Ordinary methods might not only harm Zi Yan but also waste a large amount of energy."

Zhu Li and Hei Qing both nodded, clearly aware of the current predicament.

"However, the dragon phoenix origin fruit, in essence, is also a medicinal material. Since it is a medicinal material, it should be refined into a Medicinal Pill!"

Hearing this, Zhu Li and Hei Qing were both dumbfounded again. Hadn't Zi Yan already eaten the dragon phoenix origin fruit and sealed it within her body? How could it be refined into a Medicinal Pill now?

Seeing their reactions, Xiao Lei was not surprised. Indeed, such a method was not widely known on the current continent.

"There is a method of Alchemy that allows for refining Medicinal Pills within the body. It was created by the great Alchemy masters of ancient times, but it is no longer widely circulated on the current continent!"

"This method involves dividing a complete Medicinal Pill into countless smaller Medicinal Pills. A portion is consumed each time, and then they interact within the body to form a complete Medicinal Pill!"

Hearing this, both of them were extremely surprised. This kind of Alchemy sounded so complex that it was astounding. To divide a complete Medicinal Pill into countless parts and eventually fuse them into one Medicinal Pill...

Seeing Xiao Lei speak with such conviction, Hei Qing's eyes immediately lit up. He felt that the unification of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was within reach. He patted his chest and said cheerfully, "Then, Great Master, do you have a plan? You can tell us what Materials you need, and we will prepare them!"

Xiao Lei pondered for a moment, "Indeed, Elder Zhu Li needs to do one thing. This matter is extremely important!"

Zhu Li was a bit puzzled by this. "Great Master, please speak freely. For the unification of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, for the Dragon Emperor, even if it means me..."

Hearing this, Xiao Lei waved his hand, "It's not that serious, but it is indeed very important. Elder, you need to gather all the strong individuals of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan who are willing to be loyal to Zi Yan. If I'm not mistaken, there should still be some Elders who are out exploring, and they are the true strong individuals, aren't they?"

A race that could rival the Hun Clan and the Ancient Clan a thousand years ago, even if Zhu Kun had been away for many years, should not be as weak as it is now!

"Indeed, as Master Xiao surmised, there are indeed many Elders in the clan who, after the Void Ancient Dragon Clan split, were unwilling to be involved in the war and went out to travel."

"However, after so many years, how many of these Elders are left, and what their strength is, are all unknown!"

The Void Ancient Dragon Clan, relying on its ability to traverse space, often explores various spaces. However, some spaces are easy to enter but impossible to leave!

For example, a certain old Dragon Emperor trapped deep beneath Jia Nan Academy... Many of these Elders might also be in such situations, or their Lifespans might have already run out.

"I can only try my best to contact these Elders and have them return."

Xiao Lei had long expected this, but he believed that a large Void Ancient Dragon Clan should still be able to find two powerful individuals.

"I have already planned the Medicinal Pills that need to be refined, including three Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pills. The commotion caused by refining Ninth-grade Medicinal Pills is extremely great and cannot be hidden at all. At that time, it might incite the other Three Great Dragon Kings to attack, so sufficient combat power is needed to temporarily resist."

Xiao Lei did not refine Medicinal Pills on the Central Continent out of concern for exposure.

If he truly couldn't find strong enough Void Ancient Dragon experts, Xiao Lei would only be able to travel far to the Beast Region and try refining Medicinal Pills there.

"Three Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pills!"

Hearing this, Zhu Li was speechless for a long time. If it was as Xiao Lei said, three Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pills fusing within Zi Yan's body would at least be of Ninth-grade Profound Medicinal Pill quality. It would be no problem to help Zi Yan grow to the point where she could unify the Void Ancient Dragon Clan...

Time flew by, and two years passed quickly!

During these two years, Xiao Lei had been refining Medicinal Pills on East Dragon Island, including hundreds of Seventh-grade Medicinal Pills and dozens of Eighth-grade Medicinal Pills with various Medicinal Pill Lightning counts. Only the three Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pills had not yet been refined.

Such a massive scale of Medicinal Pills would likely cause an ordinary person to explode from the powerful energy if they merely consumed them. Only a Dragon Phoenix body could withstand it.

In addition, Xiao Lei also took time to return to the Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe and handed over control of Yao Ming and others to Qing Lin, who had already broken through to Half-Saint.

One day, Xiao Lei was inspecting Zi Yan's physical condition.

"Smack!"

The last few Seventh-grade Medicinal Pills were swallowed by Zi Yan. She licked her fingers, showing a satisfied expression.

Two years had passed, and she had already reached the pinnacle of Half-Saint, just one step away from breaking through to Dou Saint.

Xiao Lei retracted his Soul Strength, and then saw Zhu Li rushing over in a hurry, his face more excited than ever before.

Upon reaching Xiao Lei, Zhu Li, as usual, inquired about Zi Yan's condition, "Master Xiao, how is it?"

"In the past two years, I have refined all the Medicinal Pills except for the Ninth-grade Treasure Medicinal Pills, and Zi Yan has taken them all. Now, the energy of these Medicinal Pills is temporarily stored in Zi Yan's body, waiting for me to refine the first Treasure Medicinal Pill to complete the first step of completely transforming the dragon phoenix origin fruit into energy!"

"At that time, I estimate that Zi Yan's cultivation will experience a leap, reaching around Three-star Dou Saint in one go!"

Hearing this, Zhu Li was extremely excited. For the past two years, in order to gather the medicinal Materials for Xiao Lei's Alchemy, even the Grand Elder and Second Elder of East Dragon Island had come out of their seclusion and searched for Materials all over the continent. Finally, it seemed there would be some Returns.

"Coincidentally, I also brought Master Xiao some good news!"

As Zhu Li spoke, a figure suddenly appeared in the Dragon Hall. A terrifying aura was contained within his muscular body.

"This is Elder Zhu Shi!"

Zhu Li introduced him proactively, but Zhu Shi waved his hand, indicating it wasn't necessary. Then, he personally came before Zi Yan and sensed her Bloodline.

A joyous expression appeared on his originally serious and stern face, "Undoubtedly, such a pure Bloodline must be the descendant of the Dragon Emperor!"

"How fortunate! Truly, Heaven blesses us!"

In his excitement, Zhu Shi turned and grabbed Xiao Lei's hand, sincerely thanking him several times.

"Elder Zhu Shi, the most urgent matter is still to refine Medicinal Pills for Zi Yan..."

Xiao Lei also secretly activated his System and sensed Zhu Shi's cultivation.

"Four-star Dou Saint Middle Stage, that's enough!"
