All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

"You are."

"Medicine dust?!"

The Soul Palace Battle Saint revealed a hint of surprise, clearly recognizing this renowned number one alchemist on the continent.
"I never imagined that after all these years of your disappearance, your physical body had been shattered, and you could only survive as a soul."

"but now"

The Soul Palace's Battle Saint revealed an excited expression. Obtaining the continent's number one alchemist was definitely a great achievement for the Soul Palace!
"Yao Chen, you should know the capabilities of our Soul Palace."

"As long as you agree to refine medicine for us, we guarantee we'll find you a physical body, allowing you to be resurrected intact, and perhaps even go further!"

Yao Chen's value to the Soul Palace is self-evident; in other words, he is the number one alchemist on the continent, an existence that no force can afford to let go of!

This is even more true for the Soul Palace, because the Soul Emperor's plan requires top-tier alchemists to refine high-grade pills and even Emperor Pills!
On the other hand, because Yao Chen is a top-tier alchemist, his soul power is also extremely strong, and the Soul Palace's future plans require strong soul power.

Yao Chen remained calm upon hearing this. Having traveled in Zhongzhou for many years, he naturally knew what kind of people the Soul Palace was.

"No need to say more, I will not agree to your Soul Palace's conditions."

"Ugh, so stubborn!"

The Soul Palace Battle Saint snorted coldly. He was once the number one alchemist on the continent with extremely high prestige, and even the Soul Palace had to be wary of him.

But now that you've fallen into their hands, you're just a mere remnant soul. They have plenty of strength and means to deal with a soul like you!

As for the junior who just ran away, he was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the Soul Hall's Battle Saint, and was forgotten in an instant.

"If you were still the top alchemist back then, I naturally wouldn't dare to do anything to you..."

"but now"

The Soul Palace Battle Saint chuckled twice. Having caught such a big fish, he didn't even care about Wang Gan's mission. He directly took Yao Chen's remnant soul and traveled through space back to the Soul Palace headquarters to report.

the other side,
Tianya City.
Wang Gan had no idea that his cheap apprentice had saved him from disaster, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Because with Xiao Yan's luck, he would never die so easily; on the contrary, he would turn misfortune into good fortune and gain an opportunity.

The group flew through the air without stopping, arriving at Tianya City at an extremely fast speed.

As the group flew, the outline of a huge city gradually appeared, hidden among the lush mountains.

As they drew closer, the massive city came into full view of Xiao Yan. After carefully examining its scale, Wang Gan nodded once again.

"As expected of a city that is no less impressive than the Black Corner Region, it is indeed prosperous."

Wang Gan and his group landed in the city, intending to inquire about the existence of the spatial wormhole.

As for the other girls, they said that if they weren't in a hurry, they planned to stay here for a few days. After all, compared to the Black Corner Region, which was a no-man's-land, Tianya City was more prosperous and orderly, and more suitable for people to visit.

Wang Gan was naturally unperturbed and happy to let the women relax a bit.
On the bustling street, Wang Gan and his three companions walked slowly. Because it was early morning, the air was filled with the unique moisture of the mountains and forests, which made them feel refreshed.

Along the cobblestone-paved street, various shouts and calls could be heard from time to time, and a dazzling array of goods were displayed in the shops on both sides.

Numerous people moved about like ants, constantly weaving through the crowds. Unlike the tense and somber atmosphere of the Black Corner Region, the entire Tianya City was filled with an extraordinary sense of busyness and crowding.

“This place is different from Black Corner Region and Canaan Academy; it’s more suitable for ordinary people to stay here.” Yun Yun also showed a rare relaxed expression as she strolled around the roadside stalls with Zi Yan and Xiao Qi.

Even in the peaceful Canaan Academy, the intense competition keeps the people living there in a constant state of tension. In comparison, Tianya City has a more vibrant and down-to-earth atmosphere.

"I read."

"It's hard to say."

Wang Gan's expression shifted, suddenly changing.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from ahead of the street, and the entire street immediately descended into chaos.
A fiery red figure galloped from the end of the street, knocking over countless people in its path. The crowd, however, dared not speak out in anger, for on that red horse rode a young girl dressed in vibrant red.
The girl was quite beautiful, but there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes. A red leather whip was wrapped around her slender waist, and her triumphant voice echoed through the street.

The red horse, like a flame, flew past from afar and appeared not far from Wang Gan and the others in just a few blinks of an eye.

"Get out of my way, all of you! Otherwise, I won't be responsible if you get trampled to death!"

Looking at the several figures not far ahead who were neither dodging nor avoiding, the girl in red frowned and shouted.

Seeing that the men were completely ignoring her, the girl in red let out a cold snort, gripped the whip in her slender hand, and then, with a crisp sound of tearing through the air, a red shadow shot out, bringing a gust of wind, and lashed out directly at Wang Gan's head.

Seeing this, Wang Gan couldn't help but sigh.

It's no wonder this is the Dou Qi Continent; he managed to run into such a cliché event.

Although the whip was not imbued with battle qi, if it were struck by the power of a battle qi cultivator, an ordinary person would certainly not survive.

Wang Gan remained unmoved, and before the whip even got close, it was shattered inch by inch by an invisible force.

At the same time, the horse beneath the girl in red, unable to stop, crashed into an invisible energy shield, resulting in broken bones and tendons.

"You dare to fight back?!"

The girl in red fell from her horse, her face turning ashen, as if she had suffered some great humiliation!
"You scoundrel! How dare you kill my horse?!"

Seeing the fate of her beloved horse, the girl in red's voice became even more shrill.
"Uncle Hua, Uncle Liu, kill this bastard!"

Seeing two aged figures rushing towards them at high speed, their auras fluctuating powerfully, they were at the level of a five or six-star Dou Huang, which could be considered quite strong.

"Young friend..."

The gray-robed elder paused for a moment. Seeing that Wang Gan and his group possessed unfathomable auras, with at least two Dou Huangs among them, he dared not make a move first and instead spoke politely.

“My friend, I am a retainer of the Luo family. My young lady is indeed a bit mischievous, but she is, after all, a girl. Is it not inappropriate for you to treat her this way?”

Wang Gan's lips twitched.
He almost missed that punch that spanned the heavens.

Is this ancient fantasy world really that ahead of its time? Apart from Nalan Yanran, there are fairy-like girls everywhere.

"You're right!"

Wang Gan nodded, looking completely convinced. (End of Chapter)
