Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 393

Seeing that everyone was ready, Tang Zhen took a deep breath, a serious expression appearing on his face. He then entered the formation and sat cross-legged, releasing his Dou Zun-level spiritual power. With a wave of his hand, nearly a thousand kinds of materials flew out from his storage ring and floated in the entire hall.

Without Tang Zhen needing to speak, Xiao Fan and the others knew what needed to be done. With a sweep of their soul power, they swept over the nearly one thousand materials floating in the hall, and Wei Jing clearly transformed them into four clusters.

boom!

Immediately, the blazing Nine Dragons Thunderfire appeared, instantly enveloping the hall and raising the temperature inside several notches.

However, under Tang Zhen's deliberate control, the originally terrifying Nine Dragons Thunderfire had now tried its best to restrain its aura and was constantly refining the medicinal herbs in the hall.

At this point, Xiao Yan and Master Huan finally understood why Tang Zhen had used the Nine Dragons Thunderfire to select a group of alchemists. Refining so many medicinal herbs would take a considerable amount of time, at least two or three days. Even if he intentionally controlled it, the aura emitted by the Nine Dragons Thunderfire would constantly interfere with them.

Only those who can resist the aura of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire can refine pills; otherwise, if they cannot persevere halfway through the process, all their previous efforts will be wasted.

They were only slightly surprised, but didn't move. Instead, they cooperated with Tang Zhen, continuously nurturing and refining the medicinal essence he had extracted...

.............

Two days have passed since Tang Zhen and his team began refining pills in Burning Flame Valley. During this time, apart from Zi Yan, all the other alchemists have been sent out of the valley by the disciples of Burning Flame Valley.

Only Zi Yan was allowed to stay in the Burning Flame Valley because she had entered with Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan. Now that Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were helping Tang Zhen refine pills, the Burning Flame Valley allowed her to stay in the valley and sent two disciples every day to carefully cater to Zi Yan's needs.

Chapter 138 Dan Cheng

At first, Zi Yan was able to control her temper, but as time went by, her restless nature made it impossible for her to stay still.

With her Ancient Void Dragon physique and her current strength approaching the peak of the Dou Huang realm, the number of people in Burning Flame Valley who could discover her was extremely limited. Thus, on this night, unable to contain herself any longer, after returning to her room, a faint spatial force swept through and she vanished from the room...

...............

Inside the main hall, after a long period of refining, Master Huan's face showed signs of fatigue. At this moment, he was incredibly grateful that Xiao Fan was also an alchemist. If Xiao Fan hadn't shared some of the pressure, his spiritual energy would likely have been exhausted long ago. Even so, Master Huan could now sense his own soul energy gradually depleting...

On the other side, with the connection of the great formation, Tang Zhen was naturally able to sense Master Huan's condition. He was not an alchemist, and refining a seventh-grade pill was already very difficult for him. A lot of his spiritual energy was wasted in the process. In addition, the Fire Bodhi Pill was special, and he had to use the Nine Dragons Thunderfire to refine it. Otherwise, he would not have asked the other three to assist him.

With the strength of Burning Flame Valley, even with an eighth-grade pill, those old guys from the Pill Tower would have a chance to succeed. If it weren't for the special nature of the Fire Bodhi Pill, he wouldn't be in such a passive position...

Tang Zhen looked up at the nearly one thousand medicinal herbs that had already been refined in mid-air. Unable to give up, he continued refining the few remaining herbs...

As for Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan also felt the terror of the Fire Bodhi Pill at this moment. However, in the process, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills were also greatly improved. Among the four, only Xiao Fan felt extremely relaxed.

His soul power had already broken through to the Spirit Realm. If it weren't for his lack of alchemy experience, he would probably have already reached the level of an eighth-grade alchemist. While assisting Tang Zhen in refining the Fire Bodhi Pill, Xiao Fan also felt his alchemy experience improving, feeling himself getting closer and closer to the eighth-grade alchemist realm. Far from feeling pressured, Xiao Fan even hoped this state would continue for a while longer, allowing him to gain more experience...

"Almost over!"

Watching Tang Zhen finish refining the last ingredient, the four of them carefully controlled the essence of the medicinal liquid, which had been nurtured and blended together by the others, and slowly guided it towards the center...

"but.........."

Sensing Master Huan's somewhat weakened spiritual power, Xiao Fan no longer concealed his own soul realm and proactively released his soul power, spreading it towards the location of the medicinal liquid controlled by Master Huan.

"Ok?"

At first, Master Huan was somewhat angry upon sensing Xiao Fan's actions. As a renowned alchemist, he was being looked down upon by a mere youth. He was about to retaliate, but upon sensing Xiao Fan's vast and boundless soul power, Master Huan's anger instantly dissipated, turning into shock.

As for Xiao Fan taking over, let him take over. His own soul power is already on the verge of exhaustion. Anyway, as long as he succeeds in refining it in the end, he will still get Tang Zhen's favor.

Similarly, Tang Zhen, who was initially somewhat apprehensive, showed a hint of surprise when he noticed Xiao Fan's actions. However, upon sensing Xiao Fan's terrifying level of soul power, a smile finally appeared on Tang Zhen's face.

"This Fire Bodhi Pill is a sure thing!"

As Xiao Fan began to exert his power, working together with Tang Zhen and Xiao Yan, without any surprises, all the essence of the medicinal herbs gradually condensed together, transforming into a perfectly round pill at the center...

"We're almost there..."

As the aroma of herbs gradually wafted from the center, Tang Zhen smiled, and Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan also felt a sense of relief.

"Buzz!"

Finally, with a soft chime, a perfectly round pill slowly took shape in the huge quenching cauldron in the center of the hall, gradually revealing its rudimentary form.

At this point, Tang Zhen finally showed a relaxed expression. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the pill should now be completely effective.

Under the close watch of Xiao Fan and the other two, the pill was successfully formed without any surprises. In the sky above, the tribulation lightning for the formation of the seventh-grade pill gradually condensed above the Burning Flame Valley, with dark clouds descending and a powerful pressure spreading.

"This is... the Pill Tribulation! It seems the Valley Master has successfully refined the pill!"

With the appearance of the Pill Tribulation, the seventh-grade pill, the Fire Bodhi Pill, fully materialized inside the cauldron. Tang Zhen's face also showed excitement, and he said to Xiao Fan and the others, "Gentlemen, you continue. Leave this Pill Tribulation to me!"

"slow!"

Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Fan spoke up to stop him, then glanced at Xiao Yan beside him, giving him a meaningful look.

Seeing Xiao Fan's gaze, Xiao Yan immediately understood his meaning. Without hesitation, he waved his hand, and a massive figure instantly appeared on Xiao Yan's body, emanating a golden and silver aura. A terrifying aura emanated from this behemoth.

"Ok?"

Even with Tang Zhen's strength, seeing the enormous figure behind Xiao Yan, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He gave Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan a strange look, and could only sigh, "These two are truly fearless..."

Swish!

Immediately, the Heavenly Demon Puppet behind Xiao Fan flashed and appeared above the main hall. Its massive body stood in mid-air, and the lightning pouring down from above was all blocked by the Heavenly Demon Puppet's enormous body.

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

With the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, the Tribulation in the sky could no longer stir up any waves, and all of it turned into nourishment for the Heavenly Demon Puppet. The original silver color on the Heavenly Demon Puppet was also transformed again, and more than half of its huge body had turned golden.

The aura that already possessed the terrifying power of a peak Dou Zong cultivator had become even more profound and terrifying...

Sensing the aura emanating from the terrifying behemoth in the sky, Master Huan showed a hint of surprise on his face, followed by a look of envy in his eyes.

If he wasn't mistaken, that terrifying figure could probably tear him to shreds with a single swipe of its claw...

After glancing at Xiao Fan and his companion, Master Huan conceived the idea of ​​exchanging this terrifying figure for them. Able to absorb pill lightning and possessing such terrifying combat power, it was practically the puppet every alchemist dreamed of...

As the Heavenly Demon Puppet absorbed the Dan Lei, the tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the world also disappeared. The Heavenly Demon Puppet vanished in a flash and was put back into Xiao Yan's possession. Inside the medicine cauldron, the Fire Bodhi Pill that had just flown out of the cauldron was caught by Tang Zhen and placed into a jade bottle.

Then, Tang Zhen let out a breath, looked at the pill in his hand, and finally burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, everyone, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to entertain you all after I've rescued my daughter. I will never break my promise to you all, so please wait a moment!"

As Tang Zhen finished speaking, his figure vanished completely from the spot like a ghost. Apart from Xiao Fan, even Xiao Yan did not notice his departure.

"Let's go."

Xiao Fan and his companion followed the disciples of Burning Flame Valley back into the courtyard where they had been received. As for Master Huan, he had already told Tang Zhen what he wanted, so he did not wait like Xiao Fan and his companion, but left Burning Flame Valley directly.

Back in the courtyard, Xiao Fan inquired about Zi Yan from the disciples of Burning Flame Valley. Upon hearing that Zi Yan had been behaving very well these past two days, a look of surprise appeared on Xiao Fan's face. Could it be that Zi Yan had changed her personality after this breakthrough?

"I knew it..."

As Xiao Fan directed his soul power toward the room where Zi Yan was "cultivating," as indicated by the Burning Flame Valley disciple, Zi Yan's bewitching methods were exposed by his terrifying soul power, and she instantly saw that the room was empty.

Xiao Fan sighed and rubbed his forehead. He then glanced at Xiao Yan beside him and said, "Be careful. Zi Yan has disappeared. I'm going to check on her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan's aura vanished from Xiao Yan's perception. Then, with a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

For a moment, Xiao Yan remained where he was, looking at the empty courtyard with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Squeak~"

Looking towards the door, Xiao Yan stepped inside. With a wave of his hand, a faint barrier enveloped the room, and he then slowly closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Concealing his presence, Xiao Fan's figure flashed through the Burning Flame Valley, searching for Zi Yan's lingering aura. Unbeknownst to him, he gradually approached the depths of the Burning Flame Valley.

Deep within the Burning Flame Valley, in a valley filled with dense fire-attribute energy, Zi Yan appeared before a mountain peak, looking at the "mountain wall" blocking her way.

Zi Yan's face showed a hint of impatience. The purple energy on her body flashed and disappeared, and then she crashed into the "dodge" in front of her.

Zi Yan's invincible talent skill had no effect the moment she touched the "mountain wall," and she crashed directly into it. This made Zi Yan even more anxious. She scratched her head, took a few steps back, clenched her right fist, and a faint purple energy appeared on her fist.

Chapter 139 Acceptance

"Zi Yan!"

Just as Zi Yan was about to throw a punch at the "mountain wall" blocking her way, Xiao Fan's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Zi Yan's actions.

“Xiao Fan…”

Zi Yan was slightly taken aback when she heard Xiao Fan's voice, then a hint of excitement appeared on her face. She turned her head to look at Xiao Fan standing behind her and asked, "Are you two done?"

"Um.........."

Xiao Fan had just nodded when Zi Yan pulled him to the "mountain wall" and said, "Xiao Fan, hurry, I can sense there are so many good things inside! But I don't know why, my talent can't get through this barrier..."

Zi Yan looked unwilling, staring at the barrier blocking her way. A faint purple energy reappeared on the surface of her fist as she tried to swing it at the "mountain wall" in front of her.

Seeing Zi Yan's actions, Xiao Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly reached out and pulled Zi Yan back. Looking at Zi Yan, who was still squirming in his arms, unwilling to give up, Xiao Fan tapped her head. Then, with a solemn expression, he looked at the "mountain wall" in front of him and said, "My younger sister is ignorant and has disturbed you, senior. Please forgive her..."

After speaking, seeing the completely still "mountain wall," Xiao Fan didn't linger. He grabbed Zi Yan and left. Zi Yan wasn't stupid; seeing Xiao Fan's actions, she knew this was probably some "old guy's" territory, and obediently followed him away...

"Heh, the Xiao family bloodline, huh? Interesting..."

After Xiao Fan and the others left, a barely perceptible murmur was heard, and then silence returned.

After Xiao Fan pulled Zi Yan away, he found that there was no movement behind him, so he knew that the other party did not intend to pursue the matter, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Xiao Fan's guess is correct, the barrier that Zi Yan mentioned should be the secluded cultivation place of the previous Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, the Fire Fortune Ancestor...

Xiao Fan had not forgotten the terrifying strength of the previous Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, Old Ancestor Huo Yun, a one-star Dou Sheng!

Dou Sheng is the strongest realm below Dou Di. Recalling Zi Yan's actions just now, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

However, since they were currently in the Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Fan did not dare to talk too much about the Dou Sheng powerhouse, and simply left in a hurry with Zi Yan.

Back in the courtyard prepared for them by Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Yan continued to cultivate in his room. Sensing the presence of Xiao Fan and Zi Yan, he came out of his room. Seeing Xiao Fan's solemn expression, Xiao Yan's heart tightened.

"Brother, what's wrong?"
