54: Chapter 54 Elder Qing

"A Tier 7 Medicinal Pill: Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill!"

As the lid of the box was lifted, a golden light instantly illuminated the entire venue.

Inside the cold jade box lay a golden Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon's eye. The surface of the pill was smooth and round, with two wisps of golden Qi flowing slowly within. Looking closely, the intertwined golden threads actually formed two tiny, golden Dragons!

A faint dragon roar traveled through the air, causing people's Souls to tremble involuntarily under this Dragon might.

The pill Qi condensing into a spirit—a phenomenon that only appears in Tier 7 Medicinal Pills and above!

Xiao Yan naturally knew of this Medicinal Pill. Wind Venerable, a close friend of Yao Lao, had relied on this pill back in the day to break through and rebuild himself, rising from a Dou Zong to a Dou Zun in just seven years.

However, this item was of no use to Xiao Yan. Near death? That had nothing to do with him.

Still, Xiao Yan revealed a faint smile. Not needing something and not having it were two different things; being prepared for a rainy day was Xiao Yan's philosophy of life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan patiently observed, pondering whether he should buy it directly or trade for it later...

However, when the auctioneer stated a condition, Xiao Yan shook his head, dismissing the idea of bidding.

Whoever bought the Medicinal Pill would have to unconditionally do two things for the owner of the pill.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan left his seat without any hesitation and walked toward the door.

After obtaining the three items, Xiao Yan left the auction. He needed to find a good spot in advance to lie in ambush.

He remembered that it should be the Heavenly Serpent Mansion that obtained the Medicinal Pill. Although Xiao Yan had purchased Three Thousand Lightning Movement this time, those other factions likely lacked the financial resources to compete with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. After all, the foundation of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was far stronger than these few factions.

Therefore, Xiao Yan found it quite strange. For such an important Medicinal Pill, they only sent these few people? In a place like the Black-Corner Region, having no strength but carrying such a precious treasure was clearly asking to be slaughtered...

The sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Yan waited quietly in a silent forest for something.

"Elder Qing, hand over the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, and this Sect Master will spare your life! Otherwise, die!"

In a forest in the distance, the Blood Sect and the people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had evidently encountered each other.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. Behind him, cyan Dou Qi Wings suddenly unfurled, and he dashed toward the source of the combat fluctuations in the distance.

Listening to the constant screams coming from afar, Xiao Yan frowned. Shortly after, he saw Fan Ling leading a group of people speeding over from the distance.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled. "There is no door to Hell, yet you deliver yourself to it..."

A moment later, several storage rings appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. He took out the cold jade box, and a golden Medicinal Pill was clearly inside.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, closed the cold jade box, and flew toward the battle that was still raging in the distance.

On the battlefield, Elder Qing was clearly at the end of her rope, making a final death struggle, while the Blood Sect Master stood opposite her, grinning as he watched, seemingly about to deliver the final blow.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate. He abruptly ignited his Exotic Fire, and several watermelon-sized Exotic Fire Beads instantly appeared before him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

While throwing the Exotic Fire Beads, Xiao Yan also instantly arrived beside Elder Qing and carried her away.

The Blood Sect Master, sensing the attack, reacted instantly and dodged the first Exotic Fire Bead, but the immense energy still struck him, slowing him down, and he could not dodge the remaining Exotic Fire Beads at all.

Powerful wind pressure was continuously generated from the center of the explosion, and even the trees outside the blast radius were snapped by this violent wind!

In the distance, after setting Elder Qing down, Xiao Yan threw dozens more Exotic Fire Beads toward that direction, completely turning the surrounding few kilometers into a void.

His powerful Soul Power continuously scanned everything in the surroundings. Only when he discovered that there were no living creatures left in that location did he nod slightly and stop releasing Exotic Fire Beads.

The pitiful Blood Sect Master, without even knowing who had attacked him, was directly blasted into ashes...

This was the strength of the Exotic Fire Beads. Those who could dodge or block them would need to continuously consume Dou Qi to avoid damage, while those who could neither dodge nor resist would be sent to the afterlife by dozens of Exotic Fire Beads!

Take the Blood Sect Master for example; his Cultivation Technique happened to be naturally countered by Exotic Fire. He couldn't resist even a few, couldn't dodge, and could only die with hatred, blasted to death.

At this moment, Elder Qing was already heavily injured and unconscious. After Xiao Yan fed her a few healing pills, he placed her on the spot, unfurled his Dou Qi Wings again, and began flying around the area, as if searching for something.

Xiao Yan remembered that the people from the Black Skull Tomb were also in the vicinity.

His powerful Soul Power continuously scanned every living creature within Xiao Yan's line of sight. Whenever he encountered suspicious people, he would send an Exotic Fire Bead to "warm" them up.

Only when there were no more suspicious figures in the surroundings did Xiao Yan stop searching. The people from the Black-Corner Region who had come here were definitely not innocent, so Xiao Yan did not show the slightest mercy.

As for himself, heh, although he also coveted the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, he was also here to save someone. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion had, in a way, provided protection to the Xiao Family, so him coming to assist was only natural.

When Xiao Yan returned to where Elder Qing was, she had already woken up. Her arm had been torn off by the Blood Sect Master earlier, and now only one arm remained.

"Elder Qing, I am Xiao Yan. I am a good friend of Qing Lin from your mansion. Passing by here and seeing you being ambushed, I came to assist." Xiao Yan said, seeing that Elder Qing had no color in her face.

"Xiao Yan? I have indeed heard Qing Lin mention you. You truly are an impressive... *cough, cough!*" Elder Qing had evidently heard of Xiao Yan, but she was already heavily injured and kept coughing up blood.

"Elder Qing, you should not speak right now. I will take you to Black Seal City to treat your injuries first." Xiao Yan said, seeing Elder Qing in such a state.

"Mm, thank you for the trouble." Elder Qing's eyes were a bit desolate as she thanked Xiao Yan.

This beautiful woman, who had been full of spirit at the auction, could naturally guess that the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill had fallen into Xiao Yan's hands. However, being able to survive was already good enough, and she dared not hope that Xiao Yan would return the Medicinal Pill.

...

At night, in an inn in Black Seal City.

"Elder Qing, you should slowly recuperate here first. It will not be too late to leave once your body has completely recovered..."

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, tossed several storage rings to Elder Qing, and added, "These are the storage rings of the Blood Sect members. The items inside are of great value, but they are of no use to me..."

After settling the somewhat surprised Elder Qing, Xiao Yan returned to his room.

He still had some plans regarding the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Giving these storage rings to Elder Qing could be considered a gesture of goodwill. After all, the Xiao Family was still within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Once the matter at Jia Nan Academy was concluded, Xiao Yan would still need to make a trip to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to retrieve the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Thinking this, his palm brushed across his storage ring, and a cold jade box appeared in his hand. Xiao Yan opened it slowly. As the golden light burst forth, he instantly created a cyan Dou Qi defensive barrier in the room.

He took out the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill. Golden light flowed on its surface, and two tiny, golden Dragons constantly cruised and circled. Listening closely, there was even a faint sound of dragon roars.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and put the Medicinal Pill into his mouth. Before he could even chew, the pill transformed into a torrent of energy, instantly entering his body and settling into his flesh.

The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was not a pill that directly provided energy, but rather one that, if activated by good fortune when facing a desperate situation of death, would grant unimaginable benefits.

Therefore, Xiao Yan did not care much about this Medicinal Pill, but it was better than nothing. After all, it was a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, so Xiao Yan accepted it with a smile.

After taking out the Green Lotus pedestal, Xiao Yan began to Cultivate again. At this moment, Xiao Yan had already advanced to a 9-Star Dou Wang and was currently just accumulating Dou Qi. Once he obtained the Sea Heart Flame tomorrow, he would be able to directly make a Breakthrough to Dou Huang.

"Heh, that fool Han Feng, he actually believes whatever is said..." Thinking of the appointment with Han Feng tomorrow, Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

Wait until tomorrow, when he imprisoned Han Feng's Soul, it would give Yao Lao a huge surprise. Heh, he was really looking forward to seeing Yao Lao's expression when he met Han Feng...
