198: Xuan Yi's request! Senior's price is not enough

“Too lazy to bother with you!”

Yun Yun’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she secretly glared at Chu Xiao before walking over to Cai Lin and Ya Fei, feigning aloofness as she turned her back to them.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s faces revealed kind smiles.

At this moment, Xuan Yi walked up to Chu Xiao, and with a slight hesitation, she spoke, “Little friend, may I ask for your help?”

“Help?” Chu Xiao raised his thick brows slightly, “If you wish to know about Senior Yao Lao’s situation, please do not speak of it, Senior.”

“I promised the old man that I would keep his secret.”

【Han Shanshan died for Yao Lao, but he and Wind Venerable lost this memory.】

【Yao Lao possesses Bone Chilling Flame, and due to the existence of that Soul imprint, it’s impossible for him to let go of Han Shanshan.】

【This love can only be a memory, but at that time, he was oblivious.】

【Yao Lao owes Han Shanshan too much.】

【Xuan Yi is Han Shanshan’s bosom friend, and she and Yao Lao often competed for Han Shanshan. It’s normal that he doesn’t dare to see her.】

“Competing for Han Shanshan!?” Cao Ying seemed to have stumbled upon a major piece of gossip, and her eyes, filled with curiosity, secretly scrutinized Xuan Yi.

So this is what her teacher is like!?

“Teacher, you don’t dare to see her, could it be…” Xiao Yan asked inwardly.

“You brat, you’ve been lacking discipline lately, daring to tease your teacher.” Yao Chen snorted, “I only regard Xuan Yi as a younger sister; there’s no other relationship between us. She’s your Mistress’s best friend.”

“So she’s Mistress’s close friend.” Xiao Yan suddenly realized, then was startled, “Mistress? Do I have a Mistress?”

This was the first time he had heard anything about Yao Chen’s romantic life.

“Mm.” Many familiar faces flashed through Yao Chen’s mind.

Hu Jiu Jiu, Han Shanshan, Xuan Yi, and Fairy Qing.

Hu Jiu Jiu was the Princess of Demon Valley. She saw his potential and rescued him when he was being hunted by Yao Wan Gui’s people. She was his first love, the one with whom he had his first stirrings of affection. They could have gone all the way, but later, due to Demon Valley being besieged by various Sages, she ultimately disappeared without a trace.

Han Shanshan was a Medicinal Pill fanatic who would stop at nothing for alchemy, even marrying someone from the Medicine Clan whom she found agreeable. They spent three years together, sharing romantic feelings, but more than that, a familial bond, because he disliked Han Shanshan’s slightly violent tendencies.

But this woman also disappeared after he went to retrieve the Bone Chilling Flame, which greatly concerned him.

One of the purposes of him creating Starfall Pavilion was to find Han Shanshan.

After so many years of investigation, he had a strong intuition that Han Shanshan’s disappearance was related to his subjugation of the Bone Chilling Flame back then.

However, neither he nor Wind Venerable Feng Xian, who accompanied him to subjugate the Bone Chilling Flame, had any memory of this, which was very strange.

As for Xuan Yi, one of the three beauties of Holy Dan City back then, she was Han Shanshan’s bosom friend and had a strong sense of competition with him, and what they competed for was precisely Han Shanshan.

In short, she didn’t want her best friend to be snatched away by him, this man.

As for Fairy Qing, he was just one step away from marrying her, but due to Han Shanshan’s disappearance, he chose to raise Han Feng instead and refused.

“You’ll know in the future!” Yao Chen didn’t want to elaborate on this topic.

Until he found Jiu Jiu and Han Shanshan, there were some things he couldn't be certain about.

“Alright.” Xiao Yan didn’t press the matter, as it was Yao Chen’s private affair after all.

“What I seek has nothing to do with Yao Chen.” Xuan Yi gently shook her head and said to Chu Xiao, “I want you to help me find something.”

Everyone: ?

You, a Peak Dou Zun, are asking Chu Xiao to help you find something?

“What is it?” Chu Xiao also became interested.

“Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid!” Xuan Yi explained without reservation, “It’s an eighth-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure. After an eighth-tier Dragon Demonic Beast falls, its Dragon bones might give birth to it in a special place. I want to use it to refine an eighth-grade Peak Medicinal Pill to help me Breakthrough to the Half-Saint level.”

Huo Yun, a Half-Saint from the Yan Clan, was right beside them, so there was no need to hide any information.

“Eighth-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure?” Chu Xiao secretly clicked his tongue and chuckled softly, “Senior certainly thinks highly of me. Where can I find such a thing for you?”

“There’s naturally a reason why I’m asking for your help.” Xuan Yi took out a jade plate and said, “This is the Starfire Jade Plate, forged with a sub-fire from the Three Thousand Burning Flame as its core. For some unknown reason, it can sense the aura of the Dragon Clan.”

“After my modifications, as long as Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid appears within a thousand-mile radius, it will ignite a flame and create a sensation.”

“For Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid to be conceived, many conditions must be met, such as the remains of an eighth-tier Dragon Demonic Beast, abundant Heaven And Earth energy, and the ability to gather starlight…”

Patiently listening to Xuan Yi’s narration, Chu Xiao looked at the rising fire glow in the Starfire Jade Plate and nodded in realization, “Senior has already confirmed that there is Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid within a thousand-mile radius, but finding it in this area will take a lot of time.”

“Are you asking my Soaring Heavens Pavilion to send people to search for areas where Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid might be conceived within this range, and then you will screen them one by one?”

A thousand-mile radius is not small; it’s equivalent to five thousand kilometers, which is roughly the size of Chu Xiao’s previous life’s Australia.

To select a secret place that might conceive an eighth-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure within such a range is not difficult for a Dou Zun, but it would take a lot of time.

“Exactly.” A hint of a smile appeared on Xuan Yi’s serene and detached face, “Are you willing to help?”

“When the time comes, I will certainly reward you handsomely.”

Chu Xiao reached out and stroked his chin. After a brief moment of thought, he pointed to the Starfire Jade Plate in Xuan Yi’s hand, “If the Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid is found, I want this item. Is Senior willing to part with it?”

As he spoke, he had already recorded his conversation with Xuan Yi in his notes.

And wrote down his plans.

【Xuan Yi wants me to help her find the Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid. I will naturally not refuse, and I hope she can give me the Starfire Jade Plate.】

【The Three Thousand Burning Flame, also known as the Three Thousand Starry Sky Blazing Flame, although it ranks ninth on the Heavenly Flame List, in my opinion, its effects can rank among the top five. This flame was not born from the earth but formed in the starry sky, appearing purplish-black and capable of absorbing the power of stars.】

【Once the Three Thousand Burning Flame takes form, silver flames descend from the sky, a thousand-mile radius becomes like a desert, day and night indistinguishable, stars hidden, and the shining sun obscured.】

【The power of stars is of great use to me, whether for tempering the body, controlling the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower, or refining all things, among other marvelous uses.】

【The Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Pill Tower was initially raised by the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. Because a Dragon mark was left within its body, it resembles the Void Ancient Dragon Clan in physique, and it is also for this reason that it was incorporated into the treasure-hunting jade plate, allowing it to sense Dragon Clan objects.】

【If I can obtain the Starfire Jade Plate, and first devour the sub-fire within it, it can allow the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame to gain the characteristic of devouring star power in advance.】

【As for the main body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Pill Tower, this time I don’t need Zi Yan’s help. I can devour and refine it with my own strength, but I have to wait until the Dan Gathering is held.】

The women suddenly understood.

They never expected the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Pill Tower to have such a background.

“It was actually raised by my clan.” Zi Yan licked her small pink lips, “If Chu Xiao wants to take it, he’ll have to give me some benefits, right?”

“Preferably, he should refine some delicious Medicinal Pills for me.”

Han Xue and Han Yue: “…”

Are all Void Ancient Dragons foodies?

“This jade plate can be yours.” Xuan Yi thought for a moment and then agreed to Chu Xiao’s request, “But after you find the Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid, you must personally accompany me there and bring your Puppet.”

The treasure-hunting jade plate was not precious, at least not to her, a Peak Dou Zun.

The Starfire Jade Plate was relatively more precious because it contained a sub-fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

But for her, one of the three giants of the Pill Tower, a sub-fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flame could be obtained every twenty years, so it was nothing.

“No problem.” Chu Xiao accepted Xuan Yi’s bargaining.

Wherever Heaven And Earth Treasures are conceived, there will be Demonic Beasts guarding them.

A place where Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid is conceived most likely has an eighth-tier Demonic Beast.

It was reasonable for Xuan Yi to want him to stand by.

“In that case, take a look at the map.”

Xuan Yi took out a map of the Southern Region of the Northwest Continent.

Chu Xiao stood beside her, looking down at the map, and found that it was very detailed.

Important mountain ranges, Forbidden Grounds, secret places, and distribution points of third-rate and above forces, as well as the spheres of influence of major Empires, were all marked.

“Senior, are the Empires you’ve marked already explored?” Chu Xiao confirmed.

“That’s right.” Xuan Yi extended her jade finger and lightly tapped a location on the map, “When I arrived at this city, the Starfire Jade Plate suddenly lit up.”

“So I used that as a starting point and began searching nearby.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao’s eyes suddenly flickered, and he asked, “Did Senior arrive at this city using spatial means?”

“Not at all.” Xuan Yi gently shook her head, “I was training Xiao Ying Zi, and after leaving the Central Plains, we started walking, coming all the way from the southeast.”

His inner guess confirmed, Chu Xiao took out a pen and began drawing and writing.

Soon, he completed his calculations, and his gaze fell on a single point.

“It’s actually here?”

Chu Xiao showed a surprised expression, but then nodded in realization.

“Senior, giving me the Starfire Jade Plate might not be enough to obtain the Dragon Bone Spirit Liquid.”

Xuan Yi: ?
