Chapter 171 Xun'er learned that Xiao Yan was buried in the Qi Refining Tower!
On the steep mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, a slender figure is looming in the girl's breathing was steady, and she was practicing with her eyes closed.
Three thousand strands of black hair fell along the girl's back like a waterfall and spread out on the ground.
At a certain moment, the girl opened her eyes, and the fog surrounding her immediately dissipated.
"Mr. Ling, are you so busy lately?"
The girl opened her thin lips slightly, and a voice with a hint of resentment echoed.
In the shadow cast by a rock somewhere, there was a sudden movement, and then an old figure appeared.
Ling Ying appeared and looked at the back of the girl in front of him, bowed respectfully, and said, "Miss."
Xun'er didn't look back. "How is Brother Xiao Yan doing recently? I asked you to find out before, but it's been almost a year and you haven't shown up in the clan."
When she left the academy that day, Xun'er's only memory was that she was attacked. When she woke up again, she had returned to her tribe.
My father told me that someone was trying to get the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame from me, and asked me if I knew who it was.
Xun'er didn't have this impression in her mind.
In the days that followed, he was placed in the ancient world, and the elders of the tribe did not allow him to leave.
In desperation, Xun'er had to find Ling Ying to help her find out more about Brother Xiao Yan.
There was silence behind them. Xun'er couldn't help but stand up and turn around, "Mr. Ling!"
"Miss, the difference in status between you and Xiao Yan is that one is in heaven and the other is in the ground..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ling Ying's face. He did not answer directly, but talked about other things.
Xun Er interrupted Ling Ying and shouted, "Mr. Ling! I just want to know the news about Brother Xiao Yan!"
Ling Ying remained silent and lowered his head.
"Is there no news about Brother Xiao Yan? Elder Ling, why don't you say anything? In the Ancient Clan, besides my mother, you are the one who has been with me the longest. Now even you are unwilling to tell me the truth?"
Xun'er said in a sad tone.
Hearing this, Ling Ying suddenly raised his head with a look of surprise on his face.
The last time I saw the young lady in this attitude was when she first arrived at the Xiao family. The young lady was not even as tall as my knees and often sat alone on the steps, looking at the group of little brats in the Xiao family.
"Miss, it's not that there is no news about Young Master Xiao Yan, but I'm afraid that you will do something wrong after hearing it."
Ling Ying sighed, looking helpless.
"What happened to Brother Xiao Yan?"
Xun'er asked immediately.
"I heard that not long after the young lady left Canaan Academy, Han Feng from the Black Horn Region organized a group of people to attack Canaan Academy in an attempt to snatch the Fallen Heart Flame. Young Master Xiao Yan was unfortunately involved in the attack and later fell into the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower. The academy's great elder Su Qian went to search the bottom of the tower but to no avail, so he completely sealed up the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower. To this day, the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower has not been opened, and Young Master Xiao Yan has never come out of the tower."
Ling Ying heard the urgency in the young lady's tone and told her all the information he knew.
He knew that the bottom of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower was a magma world, and there was also the strange fire Fallen Heart Flame.
Now, more than a year has passed and Xiao Yan still hasn't come out. I'm afraid he is in danger at the bottom of the tower.
Since the young lady will know this news sooner or later, it is better to tell it earlier, so that the young lady can give up this idea early and get out of the pain as soon as possible.
"Impossible! How could this be? Mr. Ling, tell me, this can't be true. It can't be true, right?"
Xun'er staggered back a few steps, stepped on empty air, and nearly fell off the cliff. Fortunately, she subconsciously activated her fighting spirit wings and stabilized her body.
Her eyes were fixed on Ling Ying. When Xun'er saw Ling Ying lower his head and remain silent, she instantly understood something.
Whoosh!
Xun'er jumped down from the cliff, her fighting spirit wings vibrating behind her, and she flew rapidly towards the passage leading to the outside world in the ancient world.
The mountains and trees quickly retreated beneath her.
Xun'er came to the entrance of a passage.
"Miss Xun'er, please stay. The elders have instructed that for your safety, you cannot leave the ancient world at will."
Two guards in black armor raised their hands to stop Xun'er.
"Step aside!"
Xun'er scolded.
Faced with Xun'er's angry face, the two guards looked embarrassed and did not put down their raised hands.
"Miss Xun'er, I really can't let you go without the consent of the clan elders."
On the city wall, a burly man stepped on the void and landed on the ground, standing between two guards.
"Commander Lin."
The guards present saluted one after another.
The man who came was a member of the Black Annihilation Army. His position was higher than that of a guard and he was a commander.
In this situation, golden flames flashed in Xun'er's eyes. She weighed the pros and cons secretly, and knowing that it was useless to rush in angrily, she turned around and left.
The golden light left a trace in the sky.
Xun'er went straight to a hall of the ancient clan and stepped in, "I have something to do and I need to leave the ancient world!"
In the main hall, a group of old men were communicating with each other. After hearing the voice, they looked at the girl in green skirt standing at the gate.
"No, if the clan leader hadn't arrived in time last time, you would have almost been in trouble."
An old man rejected it outright.
"I want to see my father!"
Xun'er's eyes were red and she was trying hard to suppress her emotions.
The old man replied: "The clan leader is in seclusion, so it is not convenient for the time being."
"I don't care! I want to get out now!"
Xun'er said firmly.
"Gu Tong, take the young lady back to rest."
The old man gave a look to an elder.
The other party understood and stepped forward immediately.
Compared with these clan elders, Xun'er was too weak and didn't even have the capital to resist.
The old man had a sullen face and ordered the others in the hall, "Everyone keep an eye on the young lady. She has the blood of the clan leader flowing in her body. Once her blood awakens, it is very likely to be a ninth-grade bloodline. We must not let her run around casually."
"Yes!"
The others nodded in agreement.
……
Back to the residence.
Xun'er sat on the bed, maintaining the same posture for a long time.
She was no longer a child and knew the status of the elders in the ancient clan. If the elders unanimously agreed on something, even her father could not change it.
"No! I must go see Brother Xiao Yan!"
Xun'er clenched her jade hands tightly, and a determined look appeared on her face. "In two months, the tribe will hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and I want to participate this time!"
The coming-of-age ceremony is a ceremony that every family has.
The Gu clan was different from the Xiao family she was in before, in that the Gu clan’s coming-of-age ceremony included an additional blood test.
Under normal circumstances, she should wait a few more years until she is stronger and her bloodline is fully stimulated before participating.
But Xun'er, who wanted to get out so badly, couldn't wait.
"They are just using their bloodline as an excuse, so why not just look at the bloodline level!"
Xun'er took a deep breath, hid the sadness in her eyes, took out the pill, swallowed it and began to practice.
……
"Teacher, I have gained some experience in alchemy in the Poison Sect this time. I will go talk to Elder Gu first."
After returning to Yunlan Sect, Nie Yuan found an excuse and quickly escaped from Yunshan.
Urging people to get married is terrible, but urging them to have children is even more terrible.
Nie Yuan could accept fighting with an eighth-level monster, but he couldn't stand the pressure from two old men to get married.
He went straight to the alchemy hall, and happened to see Gu He coming out.
"Master, I heard that you went to the Izumo Empire. Why are you back so soon?" Gu He's face was filled with smiles.
"It's just a little thing."
Nie Yuan smiled faintly and looked into the alchemy hall. "Elder Gu, how is Han Feng's attitude towards alchemy after so long?"
"He? Very dedicated."
Gu He replied, "At least 50% of the third and fourth grade elixirs in the alliance were made by him."
so much?
Hearing this, Nie Yuan was shocked, "Elder Gu, he is just a soul, please don't squeeze him to death."
"Master, you are really wrongly accusing him. It's too late for me to persuade him, but I feel that he wants to refine himself to death."
Gu He waved his hands repeatedly. The other party was just a soul and was not in competition with him at all. On the contrary, there was an alchemist of the sixth or seventh rank who was helping him to refine low-level pills.
Gu He felt sorry for such a person. After all, for him, refining low-level pills was not of much help in improving himself as a pharmacist. Instead, it was a waste of time.
But Gu He couldn't refuse, because Nie Yuan gave him the strange fire, so how could he easily give up?
Nie Yuan said solemnly: "We can't let him die, that would be too easy for him."
"Don't worry, Sect Master. I often use medicinal herbs to replenish his soul power."
Furukawa replied.
"Okay, I'll go see him."
Nie Yuan passed by Gu He and walked into the alchemy hall, where a strong smell of medicinal herbs hit him in the face.
Deep within the Alchemy Hall, high temperatures were constantly seeping out of a room.
I saw a translucent soul body floating beside a medicine cauldron, controlling the flame to enter the cauldron.
Han Feng faced the open door with a numb expression, his eyes still fixed on the medicine cauldron, without moving.
After Nie Yuan entered, he stood by and watched quietly until a furnace of third-grade elixirs came out.
Han Feng continued refining as if no one was around.
"Stop."
Nie Yuan's voice rang out.
Han Feng turned his head, and his pair of eyes filled with numbness fell on Nie Yuan. There was no fluctuation at all, and no intention of speaking.
It was as if the Medicine Emperor who once dominated the Black Horn Region had completely died.
"Han Feng, Gu He just told me about your efforts during this period. Is there anything you want?"
Nie Yuan knew Han Feng's ability in refining medicine, and the third-grade elixir was a waste of Han Feng's talent.
He wanted Han Feng to play a bigger role.
Han Feng still had a numb look on his face, like an old man with slow reactions.
Are you pretending in front of me?
Seeing this, Nie Yuan frowned slightly, "Don't play dumb! Your teacher, Master Yao, has been able to talk, make medicine, and even teach his disciples for so many years. If you are pretending to be dead to fool me, don't blame me for being rude!"
As the words fell, a ball of invisible flame emerged from the palm of Nie Yuan's raised right hand.
The scorching heat made the nearby void appear slightly distorted.
At this moment, Han Feng's eyes moved, and gradually a different look appeared in them.
"Can you give me everything I want?"
After a moment of silence, Han Feng showed a hint of sarcasm.
I understood the principle of fish and knife many years ago.
He really wanted to tell Nie Yuan to stop being so hypocritical.
But I am also afraid of the pain of flames burning my soul.
"How would I know if you don't tell me."
Nie Yuan asked back calmly.
"Freedom, I want freedom!"
A glimmer of hope flashed across Han Feng's eyes.
Nie Yuan: "Change it."
Han Feng showed an expected look on his face, shook his head silently, closed his eyes and kept his mouth tightly shut.
Nie Yuan explained, "Your current contribution does not meet this requirement."
Han Feng opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, "Does that mean that if my contribution value is enough, I can leave in the future?"
"The rule of the Northwest Alliance is to look at contribution points. Whoever has a higher contribution point can gain more benefits in the alliance. If you have a high contribution point, you can get a body in the future."
Nie Yuan pretended to be casual and avoided Han Feng's direct question.
Fortunately, Han Feng's attention was completely attracted by the word "body" and he did not notice it.
Being in the soul state, not only is one's own strength severely affected, but one also has to be constantly watched by the Soul Palace, and there is really no sense of security.
A hint of excitement flashed across Han Feng's face, but it quickly disappeared.
Nie Yuan was puzzled, "Why? You don't believe what I said?"
During the days of refining medicine in Yunlan Sect, Han Feng could hear a lot about Nie Yuan's deeds without having to ask around.
Among them, in addition to Nie Yuan's rapid growth in strength and extraordinary talent, the most talked-about thing is that Nie Yuan is trustworthy.
Usually, as long as the promise comes from Nie Yuan, it is highly credible.
Even though Han Feng didn't have a good impression of Nie Yuan, he was still quite convinced that Nie Yuan was trustworthy.
Han Feng shook his head. "I just feel that another body will never be as good as the original one. I'll have to think of a new way after ten or twenty years."
Break up the soul of a body and put another soul into it. Although the body can live in other people's bodies, after more than ten years, the body will automatically collapse and the soul will disappear as the body rots.
Nie Yuan smiled faintly, "Since you have practiced the Burning Technique, you must know that the Burning Technique has another function besides being able to devour the strange fire."
In front of Han Feng, he took out an ancient black ring.
"Osteoarthritis Ring? Isn't this the ring of that old man?! Why is it here?"
Han Feng knew this ring very clearly.
I never expected that the thing I had been thinking about day and night would appear before my eyes so easily.
The complete Burning Decision is in here!
If I could have obtained the complete Burning Decree at that time, I wouldn't have been trapped below Dou Zong for so long! I wouldn't have ended up like this!
"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to understand that I can help you rebuild a real body instead of using someone else's body to give you a temporary place to stay."
Nie Yuan was very satisfied with Han Feng's reaction. He ignored Han Feng's eager eyes and directly put the ring away.
Under Han Feng's gaze, Nie Yuan turned around and left, and the door closed automatically after he stepped out.
The room fell into silence.
Han Feng still had the same posture, but his eyes had completely changed, becoming more lively and agile than before.
It was like a dying person coming back to life.
"No matter how much contribution I get, I must get a new body!"
A resolute voice floated in the alchemy room.
……
Bang!
The green medicine cauldron shook, and a muffled sound came from inside, while a burnt smell wafted out.
"Failed again?!"
There were several figures standing next to the medicine cauldron, one of them had a deeply frowned brow.
"I'm sorry, Tianzun. I really tried my best. Unfortunately, every time I reached a critical moment, the injuries in my body... Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the Alchemy Conference in Alchemy Domain in this state."
A look of pain appeared on old man Mu Gu's face. He held his head with both hands and lowered his head.
But from a perspective that no one else noticed, a sinister look flashed in old man Mu Gu's eyes.
"What can we do? The Lord Palace Master requires that we must have someone enter the star field to help Three Thousand Flames of Fire untie their restraints."
A Soul Palace Celestial Lord was feeling a little annoyed.
Many years ago, they had contacted the Three Thousand Flames sealed in Dantari, and now it was time as agreed.
