For the next few days, Xiao Tian stayed at Yun Lan Sect. Besides spending time with Yun Yun and Yun Xiao, he dedicated himself to refining various pills. The primary focus was on creating the Fuling Qingdan to help Xiao Diao restore his cultivation and the Yishi Dan to build a foundation for his daughter. The other pills like the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, Dou Ling Pill, and Huang Ji Pill were made in passing.
Once all the pills were ready, Xiao Tian handed them to Yun Yun.
"Yun'er, my Xiao clan still has peak Dou Sheng-level enemies, so I need to improve my strength quickly," Xiao Tian said to Yun Yun. "Distribute these pills as necessary. Also, there's a Seven-Tier Qing Ming Pill for your master to enhance his power."
"Thank you, Xiao Tian," Yun Yun said gratefully. She knew Xiao Tian was considering her in giving this pill to Yun Shan. Without her, Xiao Tian might have killed Yun Shan already.
Xiao Tian kissed Yun Yun on the forehead and said, "Wait for me!"
With that, he summoned the space gate and entered it.
"Xiao Diao, here's the Fuling Qingdan. See how much of your cultivation you can recover," Xiao Tian said, tossing a jade bottle to Xiao Diao. Then, he used the space gate to travel to the central region of Zhongzhou.
...
Burning Flame Valley was located in the southwestern part of Zhongzhou, amidst the Scorching Fire Mountain Range. This mountain range was entirely composed of hot volcanoes, appearing red as far as the eye could see. Some mountain peaks even had lava flowing from their tops, producing white mist.
The fame of this place naturally came from Burning Flame Valley being established here. Xiao Tian, with his speed, soon arrived. Upon his arrival, he felt the violent fire attribute energy in the air. For those with fire attributes, cultivating here would yield twice the result with half the effort.
Xiao Tian descended in the depths of the mountain range, facing two towering red mountains. These mountains stood close together, with a winding stone staircase climbing from the foot to the top. As he gazed forward, he sensed a space fluctuation indicating the presence of Burning Flame Valley behind this spatial barrier.
This didn't surprise Xiao Tian. After all, the founder of Burning Flame Valley was a friend of Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao clan, and very powerful. Presently, Burning Flame Valley also had a Dou Sheng.
As Xiao Tian approached, a few people emerged, questioning, "Who are you, and why have you intruded into Burning Flame Valley?"
Sensing the leader's Dou Huang level, Xiao Tian casually tossed a bottle of Huang Ji Pill to him and said with a smile, "Please inform the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley that a descendant of an old friend has come."
The man's eyes lit up upon seeing the Huang Ji Pill. "Understood, I will report this immediately!"
Holding a token, the man passed through the spatial barrier. Shortly after, he returned with a small, red-haired, simply dressed elder.
The elder looked at Xiao Tian curiously and asked, "I am Tang Zhen. Who might you be?"
"Descendant of the Xiao clan, greetings to Valley Master Tang," Xiao Tian replied via sound transmission.
"Oh?" Tang Zhen scrutinized Xiao Tian, asking, "Do you have any proof?"
"None," Xiao Tian shook his head, transmitting again, "But considering that the Soul Clan and Soul Hall are searching for Xiao clan members worldwide, who would dare impersonate a member of the Xiao clan?"
"Indeed," Tang Zhen nodded but still expressed doubt, "However, I still cannot trust you completely."
With no other choice, Xiao Tian boldly stated, "Valley Master Tang can have Huoyun Lao Zu sense my aura. He has met Xiao clan members before."
"What!?" Tang Zhen's aura flared powerfully as he stared at Xiao Tian in shock. Only the high-ranking members of Burning Flame Valley knew about Huoyun Lao Zu. How did Xiao Tian know?
"Valley Master Tang, I have no ill intentions toward Burning Flame Valley. I came for the Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian left by my ancestor, Xiao Xuan," Xiao Tian continued via sound transmission. "As a reward, I can refine a pill for you. I heard you need a high-tier pill and have been seeking an alchemist throughout Zhongzhou."
Tang Zhen, intrigued and cautious, eventually nodded, "If you can refine the pill I need, I will grant you one chance."
"Thank you, Valley Master Tang," Xiao Tian replied joyfully.
With Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian, his combat power would likely reach the peak of Dou Zun, enabling him to conquer the Dou Sheng ruins even if other forces were present.
"Follow me," Tang Zhen said, pressing a spot on the spatial barrier. A door appeared, and he stepped through, disappearing from view.
Xiao Tian followed closely. Behind the spatial barrier was a long stone staircase surrounded by lush greenery. In the distance, buildings and people were visible.
Xiao Tian noticed the fire attribute energy here was as potent as outside but without the violent factors, allowing plants to thrive.
"Follow me," Tang Zhen repeated with a smile, flying deeper into the valley, and Xiao Tian followed.
"A Dou Zong at such a young age?" Tang Zhen mused, nodding slightly as they reached a grand hall.
"Xiao Tian, I need a Seven-Tier High-Grade pill called the Huobu Dan," Tang Zhen said solemnly. "I will provide the recipe and materials, but you must prove your ability to refine it."
"Alright," Xiao Tian agreed, opening his hand to summon a white flame.
"Bone Chilling Flame?" Tang Zhen exclaimed. "What is your relation to Yao Chen?"
"Yao Chen is my master," Xiao Tian replied with a smile.
"As Yao Chen's disciple, you should indeed have the skill to refine the Huobu Dan," Tang Zhen nodded, "Refine the pill, and you will have a chance to obtain the Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian. Make sure you don't waste this opportunity."
"Rest assured, Valley Master Tang, I won't disappoint you," Xiao Tian promised.
Tang Zhen handed Xiao Tian a ring containing the recipe and materials. "You can refine it here. I will guard the door."
With that, Tang Zhen left the hall, leaving Xiao Tian to his task.
