In a mist-shrouded valley at the back of Yunlan Sect's mountains, the sect's four most pivotal figures stood solemnly.
They were Yun Shan, Yun Potian, Yun Yun, and Nalan Yanran.
At this moment, the four of them stood before Xiao Yan like a four-generation family gathering, with the ancient Yun Potian gazing at Xiao Yan with the most anticipation.
"Hey, you two old men, can you stop looking at me with those eyes?" Xiao Yan shifted uncomfortably under their burning stares.
"Hehe, isn't this exciting? It's rare for me to be this thrilled." Yun Potian, having known Xiao Yan for some time, had even learned a bit of the Xiao family's style.
"This old pervert…" Xiao Yan shivered and leaned closer to Yun Yun for comfort.
"Xiao Yan, don't tease the ancestor like that." Yun Yun's cheeks tinged pink as she shot him a reproachful glance. With their elders present, this guy was still teasing her.
Nearby, Nalan Yanran snorted, turning her head with a pout. The rascal teased the teacher all the time, but lately, he hadn't teased her.
Seeing Nalan Yanran sulking, Xiao Yan stopped his antics. After all, the two "old perverts" were still staring at him eagerly.
He returned to a serious expression and waved his hand. A black-and-red soul elixir appeared in his palm.
Seeing the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill, Yun Potian's face brightened with excitement. This meant the resurrection plan was about to begin.
"Give me a trace of your soul power."
Xiao Yan said calmly.
"Sure!" Yun Potian readily sent a sliver of his soul power to Xiao Yan.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yan captured the soul power and embedded it into the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill.
The pill glowed briefly as it absorbed the power.
"Take this pill," Xiao Yan said, tossing it to Yun Potian like handing over candy.
Then, he flicked his finger within his Na Jiao, and a robust corpse appeared before him.
It was the body of Shi Tian, a Dou Zun powerhouse. Its strength and physique made it ideal for reviving Yun Potian.
"Hehe, this body is not bad at all."
Yun Potian's expression betrayed a hint of excitement as he eyed Shi Tian's body. Were it not for Xiao Yan knowing his intentions, he might have suspected the old man of being a bit perverse.
Xiao Yan's Na Jiao glowed again, revealing a large jade bottle above the corpse. "You three, step back a bit."
He pushed Yun Yun and the others aside. A tendril of Dou Qi shot toward the jade bottle, shattering it instantly.
A flood of crimson blood poured down from above.
The blood appeared crystal-clear, but the terrifying, violent energy contained within—and the oppressive aura of a high-level magical beast—made everyone's expression change.
"This… this is the essence blood of a Level-9 Magical Beast!" Yun Potian's soul trembled.
Even as a Dou Zun, he was utterly shocked.
A Level-9 Magical Beast meant a peak Dou Sheng-level entity—the pinnacle of existence in this world. Even in his prime, he had seen such beings only a handful of times.
And the essence blood of a Dou Sheng-level beast was an invaluable treasure.
More frighteningly, how had Xiao Yan obtained it? Had his clan slain it?
Recalling the recent sweep by the Gamma Empire, Yun Potian remembered two Dou Sheng auras that had appeared—guests from the Nalan family. One seemed to be Xiao Yan's grandfather, and the others also appeared to be clan members.
So it seemed a Level-9 Magical Beast had been hunted down by Xiao Yan's clan.
Even Yun Potian swallowed nervously at the thought. Three Dou Sheng were enough to fell a Level-9 Magical Beast. Despite his awe of the Xiao Clan, seeing their true power firsthand was shocking.
Who could have imagined that a pinnacle-level saint could fall so easily?
What Yun Potian did not know: Xiao Yan had actually summoned twelve Dou Sheng in total. Even for a Dou Zun, the scene was beyond comprehension.
Meanwhile, Yun Yun and the others, hearing Yun Potian's exclamation, wore expressions of amazement.
"Why all the fuss? You old man really haven't seen the world," Xiao Yan said casually.
Is Level-9 Magical Beast blood rare?
"Well… it was still precious to me before I became an imperial son."
The crimson blood landed on Shi Tian's body.
Once the Purple Heavenly Demon Python blood merged with Shi Tian's body, the raw power of the Level-9 blood became evident.
Though the blood had been simply refined by Xiao Yan, it still carried incredible destructive potential against a Dou Zun's corpse.
Blood spilled across Shi Tian's body, forming deep holes in the flesh. The body seemed almost unable to endure its ferocity.
Yun Potian's face changed at the sight.
"Don't panic, quickly take the pill, and just follow my instructions next."
Xiao Yan shot him a sharp glance, then enveloped the corpse in seven-colored fire.
The valley's temperature surged, especially around the corpse. Nalan Yanran, weakest in Dou Qi, flushed red and broke into a sheen of sweat.
"Darling, it's too hot here. Go rest first," Xiao Yan said with a teasing smile.
"Oh." Blushing, Nalan Yanran obediently followed, leaving under Yun Yun's amused gaze.
With her gone, Xiao Yan focused again, stirring the flame to refine the corpse.
"Give me another trace of your soul!" he said, extending his hand.
Without hesitation, Yun Potian's soul shot out again, and Xiao Yan funneled it into the corpse using the exotic fire.
The previously decayed flesh began to merge with the blood. Pale skin and muscle regained vitality.
Xiao Yan then poured purple liquid from another jade bottle over the severed neck.
Instantly, Shi Tian's neck healed, and the wound vanished.
Refining flesh was easy, but repairing broken bones was trickier. Xiao Yan regretted letting Xiao Wu chop Shi Tian's neck clean off—it complicated the process.
Using high-quality corpse materials and Level-9 Magical Beast blood, it took Xiao Yan two full hours to bring the body to a rudimentary form.
As the new body took shape, Shi Tian's closed eyes opened, gleaming with life.
Those unaware might think the man had been faking death.
Xiao Yan looked calmly at Yun Potian. "Alright, go inside."
Overjoyed, Yun Potian's soul dashed into Shi Tian's body.
The instant his soul touched the body, a strange black-and-red ripple spread across it.
Next, his soul and the corpse merged completely.
This was the mystery of the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill—it could bridge life and death.
"Did it succeed?" Yun Yun asked, her face lighting up.
"Not yet."
Xiao Yan shook his head, his expression growing serious.
"Old man, hang in there! Don't get burned alive inside!"
Only Yun Potian's soul could withstand the exotic fire; otherwise, the corpse would be ruined, and his soul would suffer irreversible damage.
"Ahhh!" Yun Potian's screams echoed from inside the fire.
"Don't worry, young friend! I can endure!"
"You endure all you want…" Xiao Yan muttered, frowning, and condensed the seven-colored flame into a huge fire lotus around him to contain the noise.
The flower radiated terrifying heat, and Xiao Yan continued refining the corpse while keeping a hand on Yun Yun's slim waist.
Yun Shan, a minor nuisance, had already been sent away.
Every few hours, Xiao Yan would check the flower to gauge progress.
After three days, Yun Potian's screams ceased. His body lay calmly in the fire lotus, appearing dead—numb from the refining.
Scanning with soul power revealed his essence slowly recovering.
On the third night, just as Xiao Yan was about to finish, a torrential aura erupted from the fire lotus.
Two disheveled people quickly dressed to avoid embarrassment.
The fire lotus bloomed, and a figure slowly stood up from its center.
