The process of cultivating a Beast Fire into a mature flame is quite troublesome.
However, with Venerable Yao, an AlchemyGrandmaster, present, it was no big deal for Xiao Yan.
Furthermore, Xiao Yan's physical constitution had already been elevated to the level of a Third-Tier Magical Beast. Although Xiao Yan was initially a little nervous, with Venerable Yao's assurance, Xiao Yan directly drank a bottle of accompanying purple crystal source and then began the long period of closed-door refining.
"It will probably take Little Yan Zi nearly a month to absorb the accompanying purple crystal source, refine the Purple Flame, cultivate the Purple Flame into a Fire Seed, and then swallow it. Chen Yang, kid, if you have nothing else to do during this time, how about I guide you in Alchemy Skill?" Venerable Yao looked at Chen Yang, who was sitting on a small stool like an old master, and said with a smile.
"I won't trouble Venerable Yao. I still have some matters to attend to. The day before yesterday, I used the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cub to threaten it into submission, and today I took its accompanying purple crystal source. I must give it some benefits so that it submits willingly!" Chen Yang stood up, put away his small stool, and said to Venerable Yao, who was floating in the air.
"You are quite polite to a mere beast. If I had my temper from back then, I would have just killed it," Venerable Yao said, looking like a rogue.
"It hasn't offended me, so why should I kill it?" Chen Yang smiled. "Venerable Yao, please stay here. I bid you farewell!"
After speaking, Chen Yang spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew into the sky, disappearing above the small valley.
"Tsk tsk..."
Watching Chen Yang leave, Venerable Yao shook his head, then floated back to Xiao Yan's side, silently guarding his Disciple... When Chen Yang returned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Immortal Cave, both the big lion and the little lion were there.
"Master, collecting the medicinal herbs still requires time. Why doesn't Master stay in this cave?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King asked Chen Yang cautiously.
"No need. Just prepare the materials for now. I will return in three days, and at that time, I will start the furnace and perform Alchemy for your child!" Chen Yang said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a smile.
"Yes, Master!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded its massive lion head, then escorted Chen Yang all the way out of the cave entrance.
Watching Chen Yang depart, the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly sighed. It didn't know whether the decision to follow Chen Yang was right or wrong.
However, since it was now under someone else's roof, it could only cling to Chen Yang's thigh.
"A Seventh-Rank Alchemist, ah..."
...After leaving the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Immortal Cave, Chen Yang determined the direction and flew straight toward Qingshan Town.
The gains from this trip into the mountain were considerable—an Eight-Star Dou Huang, two Dou Techniques, the subjugation of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the relationship with Yun Yun was basically confirmed. After Xiao Yan swallows the Purple Flame, he should also be able to obtain a powerful Beast Fire, which would be excellent as a transition before Xiao Yan obtains the Green Lotus Core Flame.
After all, when Xiao Yan reaches Blackrock City, he will naturally Breakthrough to Fifth-Grade Alchemist. A Beast Fire stronger than the Purple Flame used to refine a fifth-grade pill should be quite useful.
"Swoosh!"
Eager to see Xiao Yi Xian, Chen Yang immediately used the low-grade earth tier Flying Dou Technique, Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens, instantly increasing his speed by several times.
In a moment, Chen Yang flew out of the eastern region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and arrived at the edge of Qingshan Town... Qingshan Town, Wan Yao Pharmacy.
Since Chen Yang left, Xiao Yi Xian spent her days seeing patients and studying the Seven-Colored Poison Manual.
"Chen Yang, if you don't come back soon, I really... really won't be able to hold back!"
Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the storage ring on her finger. This storage ring was given to her by Chen Yang, and inside it, besides some Medicinal Pills Chen Yang gave her, were large amounts of poison and that Seven-Colored Poison Manual.
Since learning that she possessed the Calamity Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian gradually understood why she had such an uncontrollable craving for poison and why she was so skilled at preparing poisons.
"If only... I could see you one more time. After seeing you one more time, I will completely leave this place and go somewhere you can never find me..."
Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, rubbing the storage ring on her finger, deep in thought.
After learning about the terrifying nature of the Calamity Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian had been enduring, but she knew that there would be a day when she couldn't hold back, and once the Calamity Poison Body erupted, even a Dou Huang expert like Chen Yang would be injured.
If that was the case, she might as well leave early, before anything happened and before Chen Yang liked her too much... leave sooner... "Why are you so fond of this storage ring? It's a pity its space is a bit small. I was planning to exchange it for a larger one once we reached a major city!"
Just as Xiao Yi Xian was rubbing the ring and letting her imagination run wild, Chen Yang's voice suddenly appeared next to her ear.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Yi Xian immediately lifted her head to look at Chen Yang.
Under the setting sun, a rosy glow shone through the main entrance of Wan Yao Pharmacy, casting light on Chen Yang's back, making the 1.85-meter tall Chen Yang look like a Divine General from a storybook.
"You're back!!!"
Xiao Yi Xian excitedly stood up and quickly ran toward Chen Yang, but stopped less than a meter away from him.
"I'm back!"
Chen Yang smiled brightly, reached out to ruffle the girl's hair, and then pulled her into his embrace.
When the surrounding Mercenaries who were buying medicine saw this, some who hadn't heard of Chen Yang were gritting their teeth, only to be restrained by other Mercenaries nearby.
"Do you have a death wish? This person is a Great Dou Master expert!"
The Mercenaries who had seen Chen Yang hastily reminded them.
"Hiss... I heard that there was a Great Dou Master expert backing Wan Yao Pharmacy, but I didn't expect him to be so young. This is terrifyingly powerful..."
"If Xiao Yi Xian marries such a young Great Dou Master expert, then I agree to this marriage!"
"Who needs your approval, you little trash who is over thirty years old and only a Two-Star Dou Practitioner..."
Xiao Yi Xian, held in Chen Yang's arms, couldn't help but blush upon hearing the surrounding voices. These Mercenaries were talking nonsense; why were they suddenly agreeing to a marriage? Aside from the blush, Xiao Yi Xian felt reluctant to leave Chen Yang.
If she could, she truly, truly didn't want to leave, but... "Everyone, Wan Yao Pharmacy is closing for the day. Please come back tomorrow. However, please prepare your Gold Coins, as Wan Yao Pharmacy will be selling some First-Grade Healing Medicinal Pills tomorrow!"
Chen Yang reached out and patted Xiao Yi Xian's slightly trembling delicate body, speaking to the group of surrounding Mercenaries.
"Medicinal Pills??"
"What? Medicinal Pills???"
"Where did Wan Yao Pharmacy get the Medicinal Pill supply channel???"
"Shhh... I heard that this mysterious Great Dou Master expert is also an Alchemist."
"Hiss..."
The Mercenaries immediately treated Chen Yang with even greater respect, bowed, and departed.
Finally, the door was closed from the outside by the departing clerk, and Xiao Yi Xian shyly broke free from Chen Yang's embrace.
"You... you definitely haven't eaten well during your time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. I... I'll go cook for you!"
Xiao Yi Xian ran off blushing, heading back to the courtyard and entering the kitchen to start cooking.
Chen Yang smiled, picked out some simple medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, then sat cross-legged in the back courtyard, pulled out his Medicine Cauldron, and began Alchemy.
Selling Medicinal Pills was not a whim; it was to leave a good story about Xiao Yi Xian in Qingshan Town, so that years later, when the Town Guardians of this small town mentioned Xiao Yi Xian, they would speak of a kind-hearted, beautiful Fairy, and not the malicious... Heavenly Poison Girl...
