Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

Yue continued speaking, which made the old man's expression change, and he looked at Yue with some surprise.

This made Xiao Yan's eyes light up, and he looked at the old man expectantly.

"you……

Could you give me ten or eight bottles of sixth-grade pills?

Or perhaps ten or eight Earth-rank or Heaven-rank cultivation techniques?

Xiao Yan licked his lips. If that was the case, he would accept these three years.

Aha!

Ten or eight bottles?

"Don't even mention ten or eight bottles, I could give you a hundred bottles, or even seventh or eighth-grade pills."

The old man's heroic air immediately delighted Xiao Yan.

"But that was before."

Now I am but a lonely ghost, my very existence depends on your fighting spirit, and naturally, I have no more elixirs left.

But soon, the old man suddenly deflated, and the words he uttered made Xiao Yan's face fall.

Then he looked at him with disdain.

Anyone can brag.

"Then what about the cultivation method?"

You still remember the techniques, right?

"How about giving me a few Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques?"

Xiao Yan asked with a hint of hope in his voice.

"Aha..."

I don't know any Heavenly Rank techniques.

However, I know a cultivation technique even more powerful than a Heavenly Rank technique.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, but his gaze secretly drifted towards the moon.

Chapter 212 Below the Dou Zong level, I am invincible.

"They're here..."

A sudden jolt ran through Yue's heart. He knew that what the old man was talking about might be the Burning Technique.

Of course, an old man like Fen Jue, who had kept his secret all his life, shouldn't have handed it over to someone else so easily.

However, things are different now than before. The old man is now just a lonely ghost, while the Burning Technique contains the secret of refining a body for a soul.

The old man's goal was simple: he wanted Xiao Yan...

Or,

His real target was the moon!

The goal is to get Yue to cultivate the Burning Technique and ultimately revive her!

"A bizarre technique that surpasses even the Heavenly Rank techniques?"

Above the Heavenly Steps, is there something even higher?

Seeing that the old man seemed about to reveal the secret of the Burning Technique, Yue stopped being silent and instead offered a compliment.

"I don't know."

However, the technique I'm referring to is one that can evolve.

If it evolves to its final stage, it might truly surpass the Heavenly Rank!

The old man wore a mysterious expression, but secretly chuckled to himself, thinking that even a young fighting king like Yue had finally taken the bait.

That's true. No powerful individual who aspires to reach the pinnacle of Dou Qi would ignore a technique that might surpass the Heavenly Rank.

His target was indeed not Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Yan was a genius, he was ultimately only a mere Dou Qi.

To achieve the level of resurrection oneself is perhaps impossible even in several lifetimes.

But the young Battle King before us!

If he specializes in the Burning Technique, he might be able to revive himself again in a few decades.

Thinking of this, a hint of longing flashed in the old man's eyes.

He wanted to be resurrected; he still had many things left to do.

"evolution!"

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan's tone became somewhat hurried.

"That's right.

Its name is Burning Secret.

As long as it absorbs enough strange fire to fuel its evolution, its potential is limitless.

The old man nodded, his face serious.

"A strange fire?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's cheek twitched violently, and his face turned ugly.

He quickly glanced at Yue again, and finally understood that the old man was using the pretext of compensating him to lure Yun Yue, the young Battle King.

A strange fire?

What is a different kind of fire?

This is a terrifying flame born of heaven and earth, a precious item that countless alchemists have been striving for.

Even in the entire Gama Empire, no one has ever heard of anyone possessing a different kind of fire. This old man mentioning the name of this evolutionary technique is clearly not for his own mere fighting power.

Instead, it was this young fighting king with boundless potential standing before him.

You old scoundrel!

hateful!

"Young man, to make amends to this little fellow Xiao Yan, I will teach you the Burning Technique, and I'm even willing to teach you alchemy!"

"You should know that even in the Central Plains, I was once among the most outstanding alchemists!"

As Xiao Yan had expected, the old man indeed looked intently at Yue with a solemn expression.

The old man's words surprised and delighted Xiao Yan.

To everyone's surprise, the old man was actually an alchemist.

You should know that alchemists are the most prestigious profession in the entire Dou Qi Continent. If the old man is indeed one of the most outstanding alchemists in Zhongzhou...

Their status must be extremely noble.

To everyone's delight, the old man actually wanted Yunyue to compensate him on his behalf.

For a Dou Wang powerhouse, just a little bit showing under his fingernails is enough to make him rich overnight, and it might not be difficult for him to even surpass the entire Xiao family.

"What is your purpose?"

"It's just compensation for Brother Xiao Yan; you don't need to pay such a price, do you?"

Yue simply smiled, without immediately accepting the Burning Technique with joy.

It should be noted that the Burning Technique only existed in the old man's mind, which is the fundamental reason why Yue did not choose to seize it by force.

Given the old man's profound understanding of the soul, it would be difficult for him to search the soul, even if he were merely an incarnation.

Yue didn't want to reveal her desire for the Burning Technique, lest she give herself away and arouse the old man's suspicion.

This caused the sensitive old man, who had died from burning incense, to change his mind.

"Yes."

The old man nodded approvingly.

Clearly, he greatly admired Yue's composure in the face of both honor and disgrace.

Being cautious doesn't necessarily make one strong.

But the strong are never careless.

The young Battle King before me possesses the potential to become a true powerhouse, remaining remarkably calm even when facing a technique that could potentially surpass the Heavenly Rank.

"Then, state your purpose."

Hopefully, it won't put me in too much of a difficult position.

You should know that your strategy isn't actually very sophisticated.

"The Burning Technique can evolve into a Heavenly Rank cultivation method?"

Ah, we need a different kind of fire for sustenance.

However, I have never heard of anyone in the vast Gama Empire ever obtaining a different kind of fire.

So, this thing is just a painted pie.

"Perhaps, sir, you yourself have never practiced spiritual cultivation."

"As for alchemists..."

This is what interests me more.

Yue nodded, then shook her head.

"Buying the box and returning the pearl"—that's what you two, master and apprentice, taught me. Later, those two even used this mentality to successfully snag a bargain.

He provoked the old man's rebellious nature, making the old man beg him to learn the Burning Technique.

Instead of giving the initiative to the old man and asking him to teach them the Burning Technique, they chose to do so.

Yue suddenly glanced at Xiao Yan discreetly. He vaguely remembered that he had first learned the term "picking up a bargain" from Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
