1000. Medicine Refining Demonstration
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"I asked Zi Yan about her situation in detail. Her bloodline has an extremely strong suppressive effect on the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Moreover, in that battle, her strength was fully revealed. Even after being suppressed for half a day, her strongest opponent, the Northern Dragon King, was still no match for her."
"Under these double disadvantages, the three major dragon islands can only hide now. Anyone who dares to fight against the East Dragon Island is truly courting death."
Hearing Wei Jiangyuan's analysis, which was largely in line with Xiao Yan's expectations, Xiao Yan still said with some concern, "You've been on Donglong Island for a long time, and there's something you don't know. While things were happening here, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix also threatened the Nine Netherworld Python Clan."
"Hiss, you mean you're worried that the people from the Three Dragon Islands will find reinforcements again, and that reinforcement is their former mortal enemy, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"
Wei Jiangyuan was also shocked by his own thought, and subconsciously cursed, "That's too shameless!"
"Currently, there seems to be too little information, and we don't know for sure. This deduction may not be accurate. After all, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix are mortal enemies, and it would be too much of a problem for them to unite. Perhaps the Heavenly Demon Phoenix only took action when it saw the Ancient Void Dragon Clan making a move, and wanted to take advantage of the situation."
Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan did not reach a clear conclusion after their discussion, but they did not dwell on it. Instead, they began to prepare to refine a pill to solve Xun'er's bloodline problem.
"Old Wei, I'll take you somewhere."
Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Wei Jiangyuan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "We're about to refine medicine, and we both have the materials, so where are you planning to go?"
"It's a great place. Weren't you still regretting not going to Tianmu before?"
Wei Jiangyuan frowned. The fact that the Heavenly Tomb was under Xiao Xuan's control and had already left the Ancient Realm was still being suppressed within the Ancient Clan. Currently, it was unknown to outsiders except for the Ancient Clan. Therefore, when Xiao Yan mentioned the Heavenly Tomb, Wei Jiangyuan couldn't imagine where Xiao Yan could take him.
Xiao Yan replaced himself with his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, opened a spatial passage, and waved to Wei Jiangyuan: "Follow me!"
Wei Jiangyuan followed closely behind Xiao Yan and finally witnessed an astonishing scene: he had actually passed through the spatial wormhole and arrived in a world of yellow sand!
The vast, isolated space, the desolate environment, and the almost excessive concentration of battle qi dispelled any unspoken doubts Wei Jiangyuan might have had. Without needing any explanation, Wei Jiangyuan already knew where he was.
"Is this the Heavenly Tomb?"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That's right. Not only is the amount of Dou Qi here far superior to that outside, but the flow of time is also much slower. It's quite a good place to refine medicine."
When Xiao Yan first entered the Heavenly Tomb, he dared not refine medicine here, mainly because the environment was unfamiliar and no one could protect him.
But now that Xiao Yan has become the undisputed new master of the Heavenly Tomb, no soul would want to cause him trouble, so it has naturally become a pretty good place for alchemy.
"Didn't they say the Heavenly Tomb was in the hands of the ancient clan? What, did the ancient clan give it to you as Miss Xun'er's dowry?"
"My Xiao clan's ancestor took control of the Heavenly Tomb, and it eventually fell into my hands."
Wei Jiangyuan looked around carefully, then smiled again, shook his head, as if referring to the Heavenly Tomb, or perhaps himself: "I thought it would be some kind of special place, but it seems it's just like this..."
Xiao Yan knew that Wei Jiangyuan wasn't commenting on the Heavenly Tomb, but rather complaining about his own mental imbalance caused by the opportunity to enter it.
……
Three days later.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was completely focused on refining herbs, Wei Jiangyuan finally showed some satisfaction.
"This speed is within my expectations, not bad, not bad."
Wei Jiangyuan's mindset was somewhat complex. He hoped Xiao Yan wouldn't be too slow in refining the pills, as that would mean his Dou Qi couldn't support it, and success was highly likely. At the same time, he didn't want Xiao Yan to refine them too quickly, because problems might arise on the first attempt. If it was fast and without problems, it meant Xiao Yan's strength had exceeded his expectations. The current situation was clearly the best, everything was within his calculations.
After Xiao Yan had refined most of the other medicinal materials provided by Wei Jiangyuan, he picked up the last main ingredient, the Bodhi seed.
Without even needing time to catch his breath and recover his fighting spirit, flames rose up and directly enveloped the Bodhi seed.
"So direct?"
Wei Jiangyuan had been waiting, but what he cared about most was the refinement of the Bodhi seeds. After all, Bodhi seeds were extremely precious, and he had never seen them with his own eyes. The experience of refining them was even more important, and observing was invaluable. So even he was waiting for that moment.
But Xiao Yan's actions were still beyond his expectations; he made his move almost without any adjustments.
Wei Jiangyuan kept a close eye on Xiao Yan's actions, but at the same time, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Xiao Yan was not a rash or hasty person, so his actions meant he was confident.
Half an hour!
Xiao Yan spent only half an hour refining the Bodhi seed into a continuously flowing, turquoise liquid. It was perfectly refined, without a single impurity or flaw!
Wei Jiangyuan, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, his breathing becoming extremely heavy.
"Damn, this doesn't make sense!"
"How could it have taken so long? Is the Bodhi seed fake?"
Half an hour was far too fast; even the second-to-last auxiliary material took longer to refine than the bodhi seeds. Wei Jiangyuan had originally estimated that it would take at least three or four hours.
But right under his nose, Xiao Yan completed the refining process himself at lightning speed without taking any shortcuts. Wei Jiangyuan, who witnessed all of this, was unable to calm down for a long time.
He found that every time he saw Xiao Yan after a period of time, his emotions would always fluctuate wildly, as if this was a special fighting technique that Xiao Yan had comprehended after advancing to the Dou Sheng level.
What Wei Jiangyuan didn't know was that Xiao Yan's speed could have been even faster. After all, refining Bodhi seeds was different from refining them within the Bodhi Ancient Tree space. Back then, he even had to directly refine these liquids into pure energy. At that time, his strength wasn't yet at its current level, but he could still refine several seeds simultaneously without making a mistake.
Now that no one can threaten Xiao Yan, he is refining the product very carefully and is not in a hurry at all, which is why the speed has been deliberately slowed down.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Xiao Yan's refining skills suddenly skyrocketed to a level that Wei Jiangyuan couldn't understand at all. It's simply because practice makes perfect. He refined enough within the Bodhi Tree and accumulated enough experience, so he reached a point where he could do it with ease.
