"Preparation..." Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brow, a smile playing on the corner of his mouth as he softly muttered.
In Xiao Yi's view, no matter what, it was impossible to make full preparations for something as dangerous as subduing a strange flame.
After all, the process of subduing a rare item like a strange flame was extremely perilous.
Even a slight mistake could lead to death.
"Ancestor, have you heard of the heavenly cold qi..." Xiao Yi stood up, looked at Xiao Xuan, and asked softly.
Xiao Xuan nodded: "heavenly cold qi, how could I not know about it..."
"heavenly cold qi is also an extremely rare existence; its rarity is in no way inferior to a strange flame..."
"I didn't expect that you, Little Fellow, who originated from the small place of Wutan City, would have heard of heavenly cold qi..."
Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly:
"When I followed Yao Lao to study alchemy previously, I learned a lot of knowledge, and I heard about this heavenly cold qi from Yao Lao's mouth..."
"Ancestor, I heard that even a strange flame's power will be greatly reduced in front of heavenly cold qi. Is that true..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan nodded, paused for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice:
"That is correct..."
"heavenly cold qi possesses the power of extreme cold and only exists deep within extremely cold regions. Ordinary flames will be extinguished immediately upon encountering heavenly cold qi, and even strange flames will have their power weakened under the influence of heavenly cold qi..."
"If you have the assistance of heavenly cold qi, your success rate in subduing the Fallen Heart Flame can be greatly improved!"
"Unfortunately, finding heavenly cold qi is not that easy..."
However, Xiao Yi was somewhat excited and spoke softly:
"Ancestor, wouldn't you say it's quite a coincidence..."
"I learned from the Alchemy Department Elder that someone in the Black-Corner Region actually found this heavenly cold qi!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan instantly became interested: "Who possesses such Luck?"
Xiao Yi spoke slowly, word by word, in a deep voice: "It is none other than the famous Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region—Han Feng!"
"Oh, the Medicine Emperor..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Xuan merely glanced at Xiao Yi, seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth.
He instantly guessed the thoughts in Xiao Yi's mind.
"Little Fellow, it seems your Luck is quite good..."
"To think a good item like heavenly cold qi would be delivered right to your doorstep..."
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi, and the two smiled at each other.
They instantly understood each other's intentions.
"Then I shall trouble Ancestor to take a trip with me..."
As Xiao Yi finished speaking.
Xiao Xuan nodded, and then his figure flashed.
He once again transformed into a ray of light and merged into Xiao Yi's body, borrowing Xiao Yi's body once more.
Xiao Yi skillfully put on the black robe.
"Little Fellow, the Cultivation Technique and the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid were not wasted..."
"Now, with your body comparable to a Dou Huang, I am able to display strength at the Dou Zun level..."
Xiao Xuan's voice echoed faintly, and it was clear that he was quite satisfied with Xiao Yi at this moment.
"Ancestor, let us depart immediately..."
Xiao Yi softly muttered, and immediately handed over complete control of his body to Xiao Xuan.
A trace of red Qi flashed within Xiao Yi's pupils.
Immediately, the Void Realm behind Xiao Yi instantly split open.
Xiao Yi slowly stepped into the Void Realm and vanished from the spot.
Simultaneously, the two protectors in the Inner Academy, Elder Qian and Elder Bai, seemed to sense the powerful Qi belonging to a Dou Zun.
However, it instantly vanished.
"This is a Dou Zun..."
Elder Qian Mu muttered softly.
Although Elder Bai Lie was extremely shocked, he still said:
"Perhaps it was just a Dou Zun powerful expert passing by..."
... Black-Corner Region, Maple City.
A rift suddenly tore open in the Void Realm above.
Xiao Yi, dressed in a black robe, slowly stepped out from the Void Realm.
With every step Xiao Yi took, the Void Realm beneath his feet faintly felt as if it were shattering.
At this moment, Han Feng also sensed a powerful Qi descending upon Maple City.
His eyes sharpened, and without the slightest hesitation.
The Dou Qi wings on his back instantly unfolded, and his figure flashed, appearing above Maple City.
Seeing the person before him stepping on the Void Realm, and the Qi he exuded causing the surrounding space to crack open.
Han Feng felt deeply shocked in his heart.
"A Dou... Dou Zun Expert..."
Although the Black-Corner Region was known as the most chaotic place on the Fighting Qi Continent, the number of powerful experts hiding here was not small.
However, this was the first time a Dou Zun Expert had appeared.
Therefore, it was no wonder Han Feng was so surprised at this moment.
Facing the Dou Zun Expert before him, Han Feng cupped his hands and spoke respectfully:
"May I ask which Senior has graced Maple City with his presence..."
"This Junior failed to welcome you, I hope Senior will forgive me..."
Xiao Yi merely waved his hand, and then Xiao Xuan's deep voice slowly rang out:
"Are you the Alchemist Han Feng, known as the Medicine Emperor in the Black-Corner Region?"
Xiao Xuan's voice carried a sense of pressure, echoing faintly above Maple City.
Han Feng, who was usually highly praised, found cold sweat unexpectedly appearing on his forehead.
He quickly spoke to explain:
"It is this Junior..."
Receiving Han Feng's answer, Xiao Xuan's voice rang out again.
"Medicine Emperor, that title is quite grand..."
Hearing this, Han Feng quickly waved his hand and explained: "Senior misunderstands..."
"The name Medicine Emperor is merely a false reputation given to this Junior by the Cultivators of the Black-Corner Region who think highly of him..."
Han Feng's mind was currently racing, trying to recall when he might have offended such a Dou Zun Expert.
Han Feng even began to speculate whether the Dou Zun Expert before him might be a friend of Wind Venerable... "May I ask, Senior, why you have honored Maple City with your presence, is it..."
After careful consideration, Han Feng still asked about the purpose of the person before him.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan suddenly chuckled:
"Medicine Emperor, there is no need to be nervous..."
"This one's purpose for coming here is merely to discuss something with the Medicine Emperor..."
Hearing this, Han Feng's taut nerves finally relaxed.
At least the Dou Zun Expert before him had no connection to Wind Venerable... "Senior speaks too highly..."
"Please, Senior, come inside to discuss in detail. This Junior will certainly satisfy any request Senior may have with all his effort..."
Han Feng hastily spoke, extending his hand in an inviting gesture.
Xiao Yi nodded, and immediately the Void Realm in front of him split open again. Xiao Yi passed through the Void Realm, arriving inside the building below one step ahead.
Witnessing this scene, cold sweat continued to pour down Han Feng's back.
After all, based on the level of proficiency in the power of the Void Realm that Xiao Yi had just displayed.
Han Feng could be certain.
This suddenly appearing Dou Zun Expert was not just a low-level Dou Zun... Han Feng didn't have time to think further, his figure flashed, and he also arrived in the main hall, afraid that any delay would make this great figure feel neglected.
"Senior..."
"May I ask, is your personal visit this time for Medicinal Pills..."
Han Feng spoke respectfully, cautiously probing.
After all, as an Alchemist, everyone who came seeking Han Feng's help was requesting him to refine Medicinal Pills.
But the person before him was a noble Dou Zun, and given his current strength as a Rank Six Peak Alchemist, the Medicinal Pills he refined would likely not be worth anything to the Senior.
Xiao Yi shook his head, then slightly tilted his head, looking coldly at Han Feng through the black robe.
That single glance caused Han Feng to involuntarily tremble slightly again.
"Medicine Emperor..."
