The Ancient World and the Xiao Realm are close.
The entrance to the Ancient World is located in Ancient Saint City in the Eastern Region of Central Plains, while the entrance to the Xiao Realm, the desolate Emperor Xiao City, is naturally also located in the Eastern Region of Central Plains.
The Jia Nan Academy, which Xiao Yi was preparing to return to, is located in the Black-Corner Region, at the junction of the Northwest Continent and Central Plains... Therefore, Xiao Yi was quite a distance from Jia Nan Academy at this moment.
To return to Jia Nan Academy from here would require traversing the entire Central Plains!
Although Xiao Yi was a Dou Zun at this moment and possessed the Power of Space, it was still somewhat insufficient to open up such a long spatial tunnel.
Therefore, Xiao Yi had already made a decision: he would travel through the Central Plains to return to Jia Nan Academy!
Taking this opportunity, he could also get a good understanding of the current situation in the Central Plains... However, in the next second, Venerable Skyfire, who had been hiding within the Fallen Heart Flame parasite inside Xiao Yi, noticed that the powerful Soul Power protecting Xiao Yi had finally disappeared.
He dared to reappear... A red aura surged out from within Xiao Yi, and then Venerable Skyfire's Soul also appeared in front of Xiao Yi.
"Little Fellow..."
"I didn't expect you to be from the Xiao Clan, reaching the Dou Zun realm at such a young age, and possessing two different flames..."
"It's truly rare..."
During this period, although Venerable Skyfire seemed to have disappeared, he was, after all, hiding within the Fallen Heart Flame infant, and that infant had entered Xiao Yi's body.
In essence, Venerable Skyfire was hiding within Xiao Yi.
Therefore, he knew everything that had happened during this time.
Naturally, he also understood Xiao Yi's background, and that the Soul body that had protected Xiao Yi before was the long-deceased Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan.
However, before Xiao Yi could speak, Venerable Skyfire continued, saying:
"Little Fellow, although your background is very distinguished, it's necessary for this old man to introduce himself..."
"My name is Yaotian Huo. I was the previous owner of the Fallen Heart Flame. I accidentally perished, and now only a remnant Soul remains in the world..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi deliberately put on a surprised expression and said:
"Could Senior be the renowned Venerable Skyfire who was so famous on the Fighting Qi Continent before?"
As soon as Xiao Yi said this, he immediately fooled Venerable Skyfire.
Venerable Skyfire's face instantly filled with pride and self-satisfaction, and he nodded:
"I didn't expect it, after a thousand years since my demise, someone still knows my name..."
"You, young man, are indeed a Prodigy from the Xiao Clan, very impressive..."
Venerable Skyfire couldn't help but engage in some mutual flattery.
Then, Venerable Skyfire looked at Xiao Yi with a smile and spoke again:
"Little Fellow..."
"Your ability to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame means you have a connection with this old man..."
"Furthermore, you helped this old man leave that magma region, so this old man owes you a favor..."
"However, you are from the Xiao Clan and a Dou Zun Expert. This old man was only a Dou Zun in his prime, and now is merely a Soul body, so I can't offer much help in terms of cultivation..."
"But this old man's venerated title in life was Heavenly Flame, and I was skilled in fire control techniques. I can pass on some fire control techniques to you..."
"May I ask if Little Fellow would allow this old man to stay by your side? Otherwise, I fear this old man will become a wandering ghost again..."
Venerable Skyfire was not coy and spoke directly, stating his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.
After all, Venerable Skyfire was a Dou Zun Expert in his lifetime, and he also knew how to suppress the Calamity Poison Body... For Xiao Yi, learning the method to suppress the Calamity Poison Body would also solve the Xiao Yi Xian's problem... "Senior is too kind..."
"It is truly an honor for this junior to have you stay by my side and guide me in refining my fire control techniques..."
Xiao Yi nodded and then said in a deep voice.
Venerable Skyfire also nodded happily upon hearing this.
After all, in Venerable Skyfire's view, the young man in front of him was from the Xiao Clan, which was one of the mysterious and powerful Ancient Eight Clans.
If he could build a relationship with a Xiao Clan Prodigy, he might even be able to be resurrected in the future... Little did he know, Venerable Skyfire had been gone for too long, and the Xiao Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, had long since declined...
After the two simply reached an agreement, Xiao Yi didn't dally.
He immediately set off to leave this place, as every extra moment spent here meant an increased risk... After all, the Hun Clan had already set their sights on Xiao Yi... Then, the Void Realm behind Xiao Yi suddenly tore open, and he slowly stepped out, entering the Void Realm and disappearing from his original spot.
Seeing Xiao Yi's familiarity with the Power of Space, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"Little Friend Xiao Yi, I didn't expect your Two-Star Dou Zun strength to be so proficient in the Power of Space... Truly a hero born young..."
Xiao Yi heard this and smiled politely:
"Heavenly Flame Senior overpraises me..."
After a long while, a spatial rift suddenly appeared high in the distant sky of the Central Region of Central Plains.
In the next second, Xiao Yi and Venerable Skyfire slowly stepped out from the Void Realm.
Xiao Yi used his Soul Power to probe the area and found that the aura of Medicinal Pills was exceptionally strong in a magnificent city not far ahead!
And in the very center, there was an even more majestic building that pierced the clouds!
Furthermore, the Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame within Xiao Yi simultaneously became restless; there seemed to be another type of flame present in the ethereal sense!
Having investigated this far, Xiao Yi roughly understood that this place should be Holy Pill City... And the flame that made both the Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame somewhat wary should be the Three Thousand Burning Flame suppressed in the Pill Tower's Star Domain!
"Since I'm already here, I might as well go take a look..."
Xiao Yi muttered softly, then looked at Venerable Skyfire, who was floating beside him, and said in a deep voice:
"Heavenly Flame Senior, it seems Holy Pill City is ahead. This junior would like to go take a look..."
"Senior's current state is a bit..."
Before Xiao Yi could finish speaking, Venerable Skyfire stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I understand, I understand..."
As Venerable Skyfire finished speaking, he transformed into a red light and once again hid within Xiao Yi's qiankun storage ring.
Xiao Yi was also extremely careful and cautious, as he was currently in the Central Plains, where the Hall of Souls had many informants... To avoid exposing his identity and whereabouts, Xiao Yi used the qiankun storage ring to completely conceal his aura...
And he used a disguise Medicinal Pill to change his appearance, temporarily changing his name to Lin Yuan... Only then did he rush towards Holy Pill City... A moment later, Xiao Yi quite easily entered Holy Pill City... He saw shops lining both sides of the city streets...
More importantly, the air here seemed to be permeated with a faint medicinal fragrance, which made people feel exceptionally refreshed...
And the building that pierced the clouds in the very center of Holy Pill City was even more magnificent and spectacular!
Xiao Yi looked up, and the Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame within him seemed to become even more restless at this moment... Fortunately, Xiao Yi suppressed them slightly, and they finally stabilized!
From this, it was clear that it was the Alchemist Holy Land that all Alchemists on the entire continent yearned for—the Pill Tower!
It was also a powerful force on par with the Hall of Souls...
