Battle Through the Heavens: Bind Xun'er, reward Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

Chapter 56 The Snake-Man Empire? Grade Eight Elixir?

The Nalan family.

The hall was brightly lit.

Yun Yun sat in the main seat, with Nalan Yanran standing behind her.

Nalan Jie and Nalan Su sat on either side, their eyes fixed on Yun Yun.

Nalan Jie put down his teacup and looked at Yun Yun.

"Sect Leader Yun, what exactly happened with the royal family?"

Yunyun picked up her teacup, took a sip, and put it down.

"Xia Xingtian is hosting a banquet and invites Xiao Xuan to attend."

"We invited Guhe, Fama, Tengshan, and Yunlan Sect."

Nalan Su frowned.

"What is Xingtian trying to do?"

"To show off," Yun Yun said, "to announce to everyone that the royal family and Xiao Xuan have formed a connection."

Nalan Jie nodded.

"That old fox is quite the schemer."

He paused, looking at Yun Yun.

"Sect Leader Yun, was there anything special at the banquet?"

Yun Yun glanced at him.

Xiao Xuan said something.

Nalan Jie and Nalan Su sat up straight at the same time.

"What is it?"

"He wants to refine an eighth-grade pill," Yun Yun said, "called the Resurrection Pill."

Nalan Jie's pupils suddenly contracted.

"An eighth-grade elixir?"

"Yes," Yun Yun said, "After taking it, one can be resurrected and brought back to life in a short time."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Nalan Jie's hand tightened suddenly, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

His voice was trembling.

"Bringing the dead back to life? Such an elixir exists in this world?"

Nalan Su was also stunned.

"An eighth-grade elixir has never appeared in the entire Northwest Continent."

"Can Xiao Xuan really refine it?"

Yun Yun glanced at him.

"He is a seventh-grade alchemist. Although it is difficult for him to refine eighth-grade pills, it is not impossible."

Nalan Su was speechless.

Nalan Jie took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

"Sect Master Yun, we absolutely cannot offend this Xiao Xuan."

"I know," Yun Yun said.

"Not only should we avoid offending them, but we should also find a way to befriend them," Nalan Jie said. "If we could win over someone like that to the Nalan family or the Yunlan Sect—"

Yun Yun interrupted him.

"Clan Chief Nalan, Xiao Xuan is not so easy to win over."

Nalan Jie was stunned for a moment.

"Jia Xingtian personally hosted a banquet and invited so many people to accompany him, but Xiao Xuan barely said a word from beginning to end," Yun Yun said. "He didn't even give Jia Xingtian much face, let alone the Nalan family."

Nalan Jie fell silent.

Yunyun stood up.

"It's getting late, I should head back now."

Nalan Jie quickly stood up.

"Sect Master Yun, please take care."

Yun Yun nodded and led Nalan Yanran out of the hall.

Nalan Jie stood at the entrance of the hall, watching Yun Yun's figure disappear into the night, and remained silent for a long time.

Nalan Su walked to his side.

"Father, do you think Xiao Xuan can really refine that kind of pill?"

Nalan Jie remained silent for a moment.

"have no idea."

"But the fact that he can produce the Ascension Pill and the Battle Emperor Pill shows that his alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary."

"Even if he can't refine the Resurrection Pill, his status as a seventh-grade alchemist is enough for us to befriend him."

Nalan Su nodded.

"Father is right."

Xiao Xuan's residence.

Xiao Xun'er sat in the chair, looking at Xiao Xuan opposite her.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, can you really refine eighth-grade pills?"

Xiao Xuan looked at her.

"What? You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe it," Xiao Xun'er quickly shook her head, "it's just that it's too amazing."

"An eighth-grade elixir, capable of bringing the dead back to life."

Xiao Xuan waved his hand.

"It's no big deal."

Xiao Xun'er opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

It's not a big deal.

Eighth-grade pills can bring the dead back to life. Is that really nothing special?

Xiao Xun'er murmured to herself.

But she knew Xiao Xuan's temperament; if he didn't want to talk about something, asking wouldn't help.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, you should rest now."

"Are you busy tomorrow?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"have no idea."

Xiao Xun'er stood up.

"Then I'll head back now."

Xiao Xun'er turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Xiao Xuan sat in the chair with his eyes closed, his fighting spirit flowing slowly through his meridians.

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes, preparing to go to bed to rest.

The system's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

[Task issued: Intercept the target.]

[Mission Description: Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), a top-grade rank 8 elixir will appear in an abandoned temple within the territory of the Snake-People tribe in the eastern region of the Tagor Desert, on the border of the Gama Empire.]

[The host must obtain this elixir before Queen Medusa discovers it.]

[Task deadline: Before 7 AM tomorrow.]

[Task Reward: One random reward.]

[Punishment for mission failure: None.]

Xiao Xuan looked at the task description on the system panel and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Intercepting the mission.

Top-grade eighth-rank elixir.

Within the territory of the Snake-Man tribe.

Queen Medusa will also find it.

In other words, the pill will appear in the territory of the snake people at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow.

He had to get it before Queen Medusa.

Otherwise, Queen Medusa would take the elixir.

Xiao Xuan turned off the system panel and stood up.

Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM).

There are still a few hours left.

He walked to the bedside, lay down, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

The eighth-grade pill is of the highest quality, even higher than the Resurrection Pill.

This is something we absolutely cannot let others get there first.
