Although Hai Bodong couldn't see it, Han Li had been with Xiao Yan for so long that he could naturally see his emotional fluctuations. When scanning a certain part of the map, Xiao Yan's originally calm heart suddenly beat, and his fighting spirit became a little unstable.

"I still can't hide it from the teacher," Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I want to go here first, Shimo City."

"My eldest and second brothers are there, and they have set up a mercenary group. Besides a fire mark that is very close to here, I want to see my family too."

"After all, it's been a while since I came out."

In the ring, Han Li smiled and nodded, saying: "Since you want to go, let's go to Shimo City first."

"Yes, teacher." Under the black robe, Xiao Yan clenched his fists fiercely.

"Boy, even now, I still don't know your name. I don't know how to address you."

Seeing Xiao Yan raise his head, Hai Bodong calmed down and asked. After all, from now on it was a transaction relationship between employer and employee, so it was necessary to ask clearly.

"Mr. Hai, just call me Xiao Yan."

Hai Bodong nodded and said, "Now that we have settled our affairs here, where are you planning to go, Xiao Yan?"

"Our next stop will be Shimo City. I hope Mr. Hai will be prepared."

Chapter 79 Desert Penance

After informing Hai Bodong that they would be leaving for Shimo City tomorrow, Xiao Yan first went to a nearby pharmacy to replenish some snake-repelling and detoxifying herbs, then borrowed Hai Bodong's secret room. Han Li appeared and quickly refined a wave of pills for Xiao Yan's cultivation. In addition to the conventional Qi-replenishing pills, there were also several new things.

Han Li said that since one has fallen into a bottleneck period, one cannot force a breakthrough, but must naturally improve through tempering. The way of heaven is to take from the excess and make up for the deficiency, and everything will go naturally.

Xiao Yan seemed to understand, but he knew that Han Li would not harm him.

After a few days, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong left Mo City and headed towards Shimo City.

Because he was going to meet his family this time, Xiao Yan did not cover his appearance. In addition, he had the leverage in his hand, so he was not afraid that Hai Bodong would have any strange thoughts.

After all, Han Li left another seal on Hai Bodong after removing the seal for him, but it was not triggered.

The sealing methods from the world of immortal cultivation are much more sophisticated. In addition, they were performed by Han Li, who was once the greatest Mahayana cultivator of the human race. Unless one has extremely powerful soul power, it would be impossible to detect it.

However, after Hai Bodong saw Xiao Yan's true face under the black robe, his reaction was particularly surprised and he kept sighing. After all, he did not expect that Xiao Yan, who was as cunning as an old fox when trading with him, was actually so young.

In the vast desert, with sandstorms raging, a young man in an alchemist's robe slowly walked forward against the wind and sand. The rows of footprints behind him that were deeply sunken in the yellow sand were covered by the wind and sand after a moment, hiding all traces under the desert.

The environment in the Tagor Desert was harsh beyond Xiao Yan's expectations. The yellow sand under his feet, under the scorching sun, was almost like hot iron particles, making people twitch their lips every time they stepped on it.

As he walked slowly, the oncoming strong wind mixed with fine sand hit his face, causing some pain. This forced Xiao Yan to circulate his Dou Qi at all times to form a faint Dou Qi film on his face, thus avoiding being disfigured by the wind and sand.

This time when they went to Shimo City, they did not use flying monsters, nor did they find a carriage along the way, but walked on foot.

Although the environment of the Tagor Desert is extremely harsh, the fire-attributed energy contained in it is almost twice as high as that of other places. Perhaps due to the scorching sun, it is not much worse than the small valley in the World of Warcraft Mountain Range. Because of its properties, it is more suitable for Xiao Yan to practice Purple Fire Dou Qi.

Hai Bodong had no objection to this. After all, as a Douhuang powerhouse, he had some tolerance for such things.

Although he was very curious about Xiao Yan's choice, he did not ask. After all, Xiao Yan was his employer now, and Hai Bodong understood this rule.

Only half a day after entering the desert, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that the purple fire fighting spirit flowing in his body was obviously more active and cheerful than before.

After walking slowly for several thousand meters again, Xiao Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked his dry lips, took out a bottle of water from his ring, and took a few big gulps before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Li held a map of the Tagor Desert in his ring, stroking the handle as if he was thinking about something.

He did not let Xiao Yan go directly along the main road to Shimo City, but instead let him pass through some strange places, as if he was looking for something.

Although the idea was to let Xiao Yan gain more experience for a few days, Han Li also had his own plans. He was always extremely cautious and would always leave some backup plans.

Although Han Li expressed great admiration for Hai Bodong's knowledge of maps, he believed in himself more. He believed that the places Xiao Yan had passed by in the past few days since entering the Tagor Desert were actually the places where the strange fire might exist as previously speculated.

Although the probability is not high, but what if?

It would only take about three to five days, and it would also allow Xiao Yan to gain more experience. Why not do it?

With a sigh, Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the huge scorching sun above the desert, pursed his lips, and gently touched the black flame sword behind him with his hand, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

Strangely enough, although the Xuanzhong Ruler was quite large, it was still cold under the scorching sun, as if the scorching sun in the sky had little effect on it. This saved Xiao Yan a lot of trouble. After all, if he was asked to carry a red-hot iron around, he would never do such a stupid thing...

Hai Bodong was not affected. As a person who practiced ice-attributed fighting spirit, he was very knowledgeable about resisting the heat. Wearing a straw hat, a thin film formed by the ice-attributed fighting spirit covered his body surface, which directly kept the fatal heat out of his body.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Yan is really very hardworking in his training."

Faced with Xiao Yan's almost self-mutilation training method, Hai Bodong couldn't help but click his tongue. This kid had great talent, practiced very hard, and had very mature methods. It was unknown who could cultivate such a monster.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead again, Xiao Yan was about to walk when his face changed. He grasped the Black Flame Sword with his backhand, pulled it out suddenly, and thrust it fiercely into the ground.

"Hiss!" A sharp hissing sound was heard when the heavy sword was inserted into the yellow sand. Xiao Yan pulled out the heavy sword expressionlessly. A pool of blood appeared and then seeped out on the surface of the yellow sand.

Hai Bodong waved his hand and released a burst of energy, which lifted out a cautious monster from under the yellow sand.

"Yellow Sand Scorpion."

Xiao Yan thought to himself as he glanced indifferently at the lifeless demon beast.

These things often hide in the yellow sand, waiting for people to step on them, and they only need to wait and release their venom. Scorpions are extremely good at hiding, and even some humans who walk in the desert all year round will occasionally be attacked by them. Therefore, this magical beast, which is not even a first-class one, is often regarded by humans as one of the most difficult creatures in the desert.

With a casual stroke of his sword, Xiao Yan cut off the poisonous needle of the Yellow Sand Scorpion, which could be used as medicine, and put it into his storage ring. Then he stood up and gradually walked forward.

As dusk approached, the endless golden desert turned blood red.

A bare-backed figure in shorts was sitting cross-legged in the scorching desert, gritting his teeth. He held a small jade bottle in his hand and smeared the red liquid in the bottle on his body.

"hiss!"

As the red liquid was smeared on his body, Xiao Yan clenched his teeth. The joints of his hands turned pale and the exposed muscles on his upper body twisted as if he was dancing.

Chapter 80 Breakthrough to the Great Fighter

"This 'Blood Burning' potion is difficult to prepare and will cause considerable pain to the user when used, just like throwing the body into the fire. However, it can not only make the practitioner more sensitive to the fire energy outside the skin, making the practice more efficient, but it can also stimulate the body and have a tempering effect."

Han Li, who was in the storage ring, looked at Xiao Yan, whose face was distorted with clenched teeth. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and he began to explain.

"Teacher, I know."

Xiao Yan grinned and tried hard to smile, but due to the pain and muscle deformation, the smile seemed quite distorted.

"It doesn't matter. Just go ahead. Anyway, I've adapted to it in the past few days. I don't have many advantages, but I'm thick-skinned and can endure a bit of hardship."

"Over the past few days, I have vaguely sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough."

The recipe for the blood-burning potion was left by Yao Chen. After Han Li inherited his legacy, he naturally knew about this potion.

On the basis of the original, Han Li made some slight improvements, adding several unique medicinal herbs collected in the Warcraft Mountains to strengthen it.

This revised version of the blood-burning potion not only increases the speed of practicing Dou Qi by several percent over the original version, but also has a certain effect in tempering the physical body.

However, in contrast, the pain endured by users has almost doubled.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan was very able to endure hardships. His previous physical body had laid a solid foundation, and his willpower had also been tempered, so he was able to withstand the test of burning blood.

Standing on the small sand dune, looking at Xiao Yan, whose upper body was naked in the setting sun, from afar, Hai Bodong was also somewhat moved.

This kid Xiao Yan is really risking his life when it comes to cultivation!

Looking at the muscles that were twisting and hesitating involuntarily, you could tell that this kind of pain was definitely not something that ordinary people could endure.

Xiao Yan had to go through this every day for several days in a row. Although his face was distorted with pain every time, he still did it without hesitation.

Hai Bodong asked himself, he couldn't do the same at Xiao Yan's age.

"Really? You're such a scary little fellow. I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing how far you can go."

Hai Bodong, who originally just wanted to complete the agreed goal, became interested in Xiao Yan because of his progress in the past few days, and his original little thoughts faded away.

"Haha, okay, one third of the bottle is enough for you to absorb. Apply it evenly and then enter the state of cultivation."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded quickly, without further ado, and lay down directly on the hot yellow sand, with his back to the setting sun. His face was covered with a thin film of Dou Qi, and then he was almost buried in the sand like an ostrich.

Xiao Yan's strange training posture at this time was specially ordered by Han Li. Because in this desert, although there is powerful fire attribute energy everywhere, after a day of exposure to the sun, the fire attribute energy in the yellow sand will be more pure after precipitation. Therefore, Xiao Yan has this strange ostrich training posture...

After burying his head in the loess, Xiao Yan's senses slowly calmed down, and the raging sounds of wind and sand around him also disappeared. His mind gradually returned to his body. Under the observation of his mind, Xiao Yan could find that the "burning blood" liquid painted on his back was rapidly invading his body under the afterglow of the setting sun. Although the burning pain made his skin twitch, the powerful and pure fire energy still made Xiao Yan feel relieved.

With the stimulation of the burning blood on the skin, the fire energy that was already extremely rich in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to have found its source and continuously poured into Xiao Yan's body, controlling the flow of these fire energies through several meridians. After being refined, the fire energy was poured into the purple cyclone in the lower abdomen.

Cultivation was carried out slowly in such boredom and loneliness. When the burning blood on Xiao Yan's back was completely evaporated, a small drop of purple liquid finally condensed again in the purple cyclone.

The small purple liquid flows happily in the cyclone, like a small fish in a lake, light and active.

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, the last drop of Dou Qi liquid fell in, and the energy in Xiao Yan's body suddenly surged, almost out of his control.

The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth is also constantly gathering.

Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, slightly startled, but Han Li's voice came to his ears:

"Concentrate your energy and calm your mind. Control your energy!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly pulled himself out of the sand pile, sat cross-legged, and made a cultivation mark with his hand!

He was not unfamiliar with this feeling, and it could even be said that he had not felt it for a long time.

This is the feeling of a breakthrough!

"Um?!"

Far away, Hai Bodong, who was standing on a sand dune and looking into the distance, suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Yan.

The young man no longer acted like an ostrich, but stood up and sat cross-legged, his whole body filled with powerful energy, and a purple fighting spirit gauze appeared on his body.

"Is this a breakthrough?"

Hai Bodong was a little surprised. His body rose and fell, like a big bird flying across the sky. In just a fleeting moment, he flew over a thousand meters and landed beside Xiao Yan.

After observing the movement of energy of heaven and earth, Hai Bodong felt something was wrong on his face.

"This kid, did he break through to the level of a great Dou Shi or a Dou Ling?"

Xiao Yan in front of him had a purple Dou Qi gauze robe on his body. Logically, he should have broken through from a Dou Master to a Grand Dou Master, but this energy of heaven and earth far exceeded the limit of what an ordinary Grand Dou Master could absorb.

It was even close to the Dou Ling's Dou Qi reserves. Such a strange change was indeed difficult for Hai Bodong, the Dou Huang, to understand.

He didn't know that Xiao Yan once practiced the Five Organs Tempering Qi Technique, and his five internal organs could store Dou Qi, unlike ordinary people who could only use the Dantian to store it.

Xiao Yan's fighting spirit is so huge that it is five times higher than that of people of the same level. This is also the capital that allows him to fight across levels.

Although the quality of the fighting qi of the yellow-level skills is not good, it is enough to win by quantity. The quality of the fighting qi of the Burning Technique will also be one small stage higher than that of the skills of the same level.

Hai Bodong sighed. He had some ideas before, but now they have gradually faded away. He did not choose to take action, but stood aside to protect Xiao Yan.
