Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 309 Tang Zhen: Are you here to collect debts?
As soon as Xiao Bai stepped into the main hall of Fenyan Valley, a scorching gaze pierced towards him like an arrow.

He looked up and saw a young man in a black robe standing beside the hall. His handsome face no longer had the lively look he had at Canaan Academy. He was instead extremely calm.

"Little Yanzi!"

When the young man heard this familiar name, his body trembled noticeably.

He subconsciously took half a step forward and stopped abruptly. His eyes seemed to be red, and a slightly stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said in a hoarse voice:

"Brother Bai, it's really you"

Xiao Bai keenly noticed that when Xiao Yan said this, there was an indissoluble gloom between his brows, as if he was suffocated by something heavy.

The young man who used to jump up and down over trivial matters in the Gama Empire now had a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"Do you know?"

Tang Zhen's voice interrupted Xiao Bai's thoughts. The master of Fenyan Valley glanced back and forth between the two of them, finally landing on Xiao Yan, his red eyebrows slightly raised.

Without waiting for Xiao Bai to answer, a red-robed elder in the hall stepped forward quickly and whispered something in Tang Zhen's ear. Tang Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Xiao Yan again:

"So you are the young alchemist that Elder Chihuo mentioned? You are indeed extraordinary for being able to refine a sixth-grade elixir on your own at such a young age."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists and saluted, his posture respectful but not humble: "I am Xiao Yan, I met Elder Guigu by chance, and I am grateful for your invitation."

"All of them have the surname Xiao"

Tang Zhen's eyes lingered on the two men's facial features for a moment, and suddenly he clapped his hands and laughed.

"Good! Good! It seems that today is a great day for my Burning Flame Valley to welcome two young talents at the same time."

"Master Tang, thank you for your compliment." Xiao Bai changed the subject and asked, "Why did you invite me here?"

Although he was curious about what happened to Xiao Yan, now was not a good time to reminisce about the past, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

Tang Zhen restrained his smile and motioned for everyone to take a seat. After the waiter served the refreshments, he said in a deep voice:

"To be honest, I asked you to come here this time because of my little daughter Huo'er."

As Tang Zhen continued to narrate the story, everyone gradually understood the whole story.

It turned out that after Tang Huoer broke through to the Dou Zong level, he tried to subdue the "Nine Dragons Thunder Fire", the inherited fire of Fenyan Valley, but was unexpectedly backfired.

Now that his meridians have been burned by the strange fire, he needs the seventh-grade top-level elixir "Huo Pu Dan" for treatment. Otherwise, in two years at most, his meridians will wither and the strange fire will burn his heart. By that time, Tang Huo'er will be truly beyond help.

"The Fire Bodhisattva Pill is a pill created by an elder in Fenyan Valley. It is specially used to treat the sequelae of the failure to subdue the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire. Therefore, it must be refined with the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire to produce the best therapeutic effect."

Tang Zhen said, looking at Xiao Bai with burning eyes, "My friend has reached the level of a seventh-grade alchemist at such a young age, so your alchemy skills must be superb, so I specially ask for your help."

Unlike pharmacists, the older they are, the more experienced they are and the more popular they are among some low-level practitioners. Relatively speaking, alchemists pay more attention to talent, and the younger and more advanced alchemists are, the more sought after they are.

It is self-evident who is more popular, a gray-haired seventh-level alchemist or a twenties-year-old seventh-grade alchemist.

Xiao Bai tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, already having a plan in mind.

Although the Fire Bodhisattva Pill was of the seventh-grade peak, it was not difficult for him to refine it alone with his current alchemy skills and control over strange fire.
"How can Valley Master help me?" Xiao Bai asked deliberately.

He remembered that in the original book, there were several people involved in the refining. If he said that he could do it alone, without any evidence, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

He was too lazy to prove anything, so he just quietly became a seventh-grade alchemist, just to repay Tang Zhen a favor.

Tang Zhen felt relieved and explained hurriedly:
"According to the ancestral method, it is best to have four seventh-grade alchemists work together to refine the Fire Bodhisattva Pill. I will send a letter to invite the two old friends, and they will arrive tomorrow. I hope you will be there by then."

"No problem!" Xiao Bai agreed immediately.

"it is good!"

Tang Zhen showed a hint of joy in his eyes and stood up suddenly:
"Don't worry, my friend. No matter what the final result is, I, Fenyan Valley, owe you a favor!"

"You're welcome. Valley Master Tang helped me out before, so I wasn't being polite to you!" Xiao Bai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and chuckled.

"cough"

At this moment, a light cough attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and bowed to Tang Zhen:
"Master Tang, you just said you need four people. Including your two old friends and my brother Bai, there are only three people in total. I wonder if you have a candidate for the last person!"

Xiao Yan suddenly interrupted, causing the hall to instantly go silent, and all eyes turned to Xiao Bai.

".!" Xiao Yan.

What does Brother Bai mean? After all, he is also a sixth-rank alchemist.

He’s also a sixth-rank alchemist who possesses three kinds of strange fire. Not bad, okay?

".!" Xiao Bai.

Why are you looking at him? He is just a bystander now!
But seeing Tang Zhen's trusting eyes, and the resentful gaze from not far away, Xiao Bai sighed slightly and had to endorse him.

He put down the cup in his hand and said slowly:

“Master Tang, don’t underestimate him. Strictly speaking, his alchemy skills are inherited from me, but his cultivation is a little weak now. If his cultivation is improved, it will not be difficult for him to make a seventh-grade elixir!”

"If he is just assisting in alchemy, he is not worse than the average seventh-grade cultivator. On the contrary, he may even have an advantage!"

Hearing this, everyone in Fenyan Valley looked at the young man with a hint of childishness on his face. Several elders had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and even Tang Zhen and his daughter Tang Huoer widened their eyes slightly.

Xiao Yan immediately shrugged, showing an innocent expression.

"cough"

Tang Zhen quickly regained his composure and coughed lightly, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the hall. When he looked at Xiao Yan, the suspicion in his eyes was mostly reduced and there was a little more trust.

"In that case, let's wait for the other two alchemists to arrive tomorrow. With your help, I believe the success rate will be greatly improved!"

As he spoke, Tang Zhen looked at the young man in black standing in the center of the hall and chuckled:
"The refining of the elixir this time is not simple, but rest assured, Xiao Yan, as long as the elixir is successfully refined, Burning Flame Valley will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"

Xiao Bai knew about his daughter's experience in the Tianmu Mountains, and she had helped him once before, so when it came to reward, he only considered it as a favor.

After all, for a genius like Xiao Bai, if they only use material things, the relationship might be severed after this time.

But Xiao Yan was different, he didn't understand it very well, so in order to make others pay attention when refining the medicine, it was necessary to tell them about the reward before refining the medicine.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly gleamed with a gleam of light, and he clasped his fists and smiled:

"I wonder if this reward includes some of the techniques and fighting skills of the Burning Flame Valley?"

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes. He knew that this kid had been eyeing the two things in Fenyan Valley for a long time and would not waste any opportunity to get them.

Tang Zhen was stunned, and looked at Xiao Yan meaningfully, then turned his gaze to Xiao Bai:
"Haha. You are quite interesting, little brother." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yan with sharp eyes:

"It seems that Xiao Yan has taken a fancy to the martial arts of my Burning Flame Valley. I don't know which one it is, but as long as it is not a core inheritance, I can make the decision and agree to it!"

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat and he scratched his face. Then he glanced at Xiao Bai, who looked calm. He instantly gained confidence and took a deep breath before slowly saying:

"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!"

"hiss"

There was a sound of people gasping in the hall. Several elders looked at each other. They didn't expect that this guy would open his mouth so high and ask for the treasure of Fenyan Valley.

He glanced at Xiao Bai secretly. Could it be that all people with the surname Xiao like to collect other people's secret skills?
Only Tang Huo'er, upon hearing this, put her hands on her waist and pointed at Xiao Yan and said:
"No. Even if you look at the entire Burning Flame Valley, only core disciples can practice the first transformation. As for the other two transformations, even if you have the talent, you still need a huge amount of contribution from the sect to be qualified to practice. How dare you open your mouth!"

Tang Zhen also glanced at Xiao Bai with a strange look on his face. After a long silence, he said:
"Huoyun, take Xiao Bai and the others down to rest. We can talk about everything after the alchemy is finished!"

"Master Tang, the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire are very important to me, can't we just... um... Baiduo, Fang Kaiwo!"

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, Xiao Bai grabbed him by the neck and dragged him out. Before leaving, he turned around and said:
"Master Tang, we are leaving first. We haven't seen this guy for a while. It's a good opportunity to catch up!"

Tang Zhen pulled up a smile and waved his hand.

"Dad, since you didn't explicitly refuse, do you want to hand over our sect's Skyfire Three Mysterious Transformations?"

Seeing the backs of several people disappear, and only her father and daughter were left in the hall, Tang Huoer bit her lips lightly and stared at Tang Zhen with her beautiful eyes.

"Even if you think highly of Xiao Bai, you don't have to do this, right?"

"Oh you don't understand!"

Tang Zhen sighed, patted his daughter's head gently with his large hand, and shook his head with a wry smile.

The last name is Xiao.
If it was just a person with the surname Xiao, he would not take it seriously at all. There are so many people with the surname Xiao in the world, how could it be such a coincidence!
But the sudden appearance of two of them, not only with excellent talents but also with the same alchemy skills, and the fact that they did not even call each other brothers, made him a little worried!

Are you here to collect debt?

The night is as dark as ink, and the silver moon hangs high in the sky.

In a guest room in Fenyan Valley, Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan sat opposite each other in the living room, with Xiao Yixian and Yao Tianhuo sitting on either side.

"Tell me, didn't you go to Xingyun Pavilion to inherit the title of Young Pavilion Master? Why are you here in Fenyan Valley again?"

Handing over the brewed tea, Xiao Bai waved his hand to cast a barrier, then smiled softly.

Xiao Yan finally took off his disguise at this time, clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and his voice was hoarse:
"Brother Bai. Teacher."

Xiao Bai was startled and his brows gradually frowned. He glanced at the ring on his hand, but was bounced away by a layer of hot mental power.

"What happened to Yao Lao?"

I breathed a sigh of relief. There was a reaction, which meant that the old man was still in the ring. Just now, I almost thought that Yao Lao had gone to visit the Soul Palace again.

"Soul Palace. It's those damned things!"

Xiao Yan slapped the table hard, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"After I came out of the underground magma, my teacher told me that the northwest continent was too barren. If I wanted to improve quickly, I should come to Zhongzhou to make a living. I left Canaan College without thinking too much. It just so happened that you also went to Zhongzhou, and I also wanted to see what the center of the continent you mentioned looks like!"

"But soon after I graduated from Canaan Academy, I felt like someone was following me. The teacher said he smelled a rat from the Soul Palace, so I used all sorts of methods to get rid of him!"

"I originally thought that this matter had passed, but after coming to Zhongzhou, things became increasingly strange. The teacher believed that we did not shake off the Soul Palace guys at the time. In the end, it was just as the teacher said. On the way to Xingyun Pavilion, we ran into a Dou Zun!"

"Dou Zun?!"

Xiao Bai was stunned. Oh my god, he thought Xiao Yan went to Xingyun Pavilion to bully others, but he didn't expect that he was even worse off than him.

"That Dou Zun, is his name Mu Gu?"

"Brother Bai, do you know him?" Xiao Yan suddenly looked up and stared at Xiao Bai with burning eyes.

"That guy said he wanted to avenge Han Feng, the guy who betrayed his master and ancestors. Oh, and he seemed to call me teacher and senior brother, and asked me to hand over my cultivation method."

Xiao Bai immediately understood why Xiao Yan was exposed.

Han Feng and Mu Gu plotted against Yao Lao together, which led to his death. There must be a connection between them.
The battle between Xiao Yan and Han Feng that day was witnessed by countless people at Canaan College, so it was impossible to keep it secret.

Therefore, it is very likely that Mu Gu knew something or guessed something, but was afraid of Mang Tianchi from Canaan Academy, so he did not dare to force his way in and had to send someone to keep an eye on them.

"How did you escape?"

Xiao Bai was really a little curious. Even if Yao Lao was by his side, it would probably not be easy to escape from the hands of Dou Zun!

"If the teacher hadn't been alert and decisively took me into a space wormhole nearby, and if Namu Gu seemed to want to catch us alive, we would have never been able to escape!"

Xiao Yan seemed to recall the scene at that time and was still frightened.

"That's not right. Even if you entered the space wormhole and the Soul Palace wanted to capture you alive, you would have to get out of the wormhole. The Soul Palace should have been waiting for you at the exit. How did you escape?"

Xiao Bai was very sensitive about this matter. He had tried it himself not long ago and the effect was amazing.

"I don't know if that space passage has been in disrepair for a long time. When we were about to reach the exit, we encountered a small space storm. In order to save me, the teacher tried his best and fell into a deep sleep."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued:
"And I also landed in a city near the Burning Flame Valley. I heard that the Burning Flame Valley was looking for an alchemist. Thinking of the origin of the Three Mysterious Changes of the Skyfire you mentioned at the time, I thought about refining a sixth-grade pill to attract people's attention. I happened to run into their Red Fire Elder. You should know what happened next!"

".!" Xiao Bai.

Yao Tianhuo looked at the two men with pity. What kind of brothers in distress are these? They were hunted down almost as soon as they arrived in Zhongzhou.

"By the way, Brother Bai, why didn't you let me continue speaking?"

Xiao Yan was puzzled. This was only Xiao Bai. If it were someone else, he would have been beaten up by now.

There was no way. The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire were too important to him at this moment.

At present, he possesses three kinds of strange fire. Once he obtains the last two transformations, the improvement in his strength will be a qualitative leap.

"Why are you so anxious? Tian Huo San Xuan Bian can't escape!"

Glancing at the impatient Xiao Yan, Xiao Bai put down the cup in his hand, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Do you want the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire?"

"Brother Bai, you are really my brother, please tell me what to do."

Xiao Yan cheered, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he asked impatiently.
