Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 99 Soul Clan?

"This is it."

Yao Lao used the strange fire to burn it bit by bit, and the wisp of fighting spirit emitted extremely fine black smoke at the last moment of evaporation, as if the impurities mixed in the fighting spirit were being burned away.

"Did you see it? This thing seems to be a soul fluctuation, but only a very slight one."

"From my body?" Xiao Yan subconsciously touched his forehead.

"Not really...more like foreign."

Yao Lao's face was not looking good. There were not many things in this world that could be hidden from him. Basically, they would involve beings above Dou Zun:

"If you hadn't changed your fighting spirit and your aura, I would have just considered it a part of you. This thing was already there even when I woke up."

"If I have to describe what this thing looks like... maybe it's a mark? It's directly attached to the inside of the body, and every bit of fighting spirit is marked."

Yao Lao pondered for a moment, and roughly guessed the purpose of this thing. He vaguely smelled the hidden danger: "Xiao Yanzi, before I woke up, did the Xiao family have anyone with a special identity? Or some mysterious and powerful person?"

Although if that powerful person wanted to visit secretly, the Xiao family would not be able to detect it even with a Dou Zun in charge, but they still had to ask one more question.

"Of course there is..."

Xiao Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt his fingers and palms were a little cold. He rubbed his fingertips restlessly: "But I hope it's his work, not..."

Whose handwriting is this?

It's not someone who did it.
Yao Lao's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, as if the person Xiao Yan mentioned had some connection with him. Sensing that something was not right, he immediately asked anxiously, "Wait! Who are you talking about...?"

"Xun'er's father visited the Xiao family when I was five years old. It was also on that day that the girl settled down here."

Xiao Yan raised his head and looked directly at Yao Lao: "Her identity is not simple. Teacher, you are very clear about this, right?"

"This……"

Yao Lao sensed the dark shadow nearby and couldn't help but cast his gaze on Xun'er.

The one with dark attribute is just an ordinary Dou Huang, there is no need to discuss, but this girl possesses a power that even he can feel threatened.

At least Dou Zun.

Plus the fleeting aura of strange fire when he woke up...

"Could it be the ancient tribe?"

Yao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm himself down. The mere mention of the title of this force that could be called the overlord of the continent made him feel an indescribable heaviness in his heart.

As someone who was stuck at the threshold of becoming a semi-saint, he knew very well how powerful a Dou Sheng was, let alone one of the two people standing at the top.

"Xiao Yan...Xiao? If that girl is really from the ancient clan, then this boy is not too?"

The Xiao clan actually has descendants still alive!

There was a flash of deep horror in Yao Lao's eyes, and he kept stroking his beard to slowly calm himself down.

"If this mark was not branded by the ancient clan, then the people that Xiao Yanzi didn't want to see should be..."

Soul clan? !
Yao Chen's soul trembled violently, and he dodged a few times before steadying himself. He met Xiao Yan's gaze with some panic.

"It's probably what the teacher thinks."

Xiao Yan understood what he meant and stated the facts calmly.

As for whether he is at peace in his heart, only he himself knows.

If it was really a mark left by Gu Yuan, then it would be fine. He was just being secretly monitored and most likely would not take any action. But if it was a mark specially left by his mortal enemy, then it would be really troublesome.

Emperor Hun Tian... When was the first time he showed up after he recovered from his injuries?

Facing this ultimate strong man, Xiao Yan was really unsure.

The initiative was not in his hands from the beginning.

For the Soul Clan, following the routine is just a way to minimize the losses. As long as Emperor Hun Tian recovers to his victorious state, even if he takes forceful action now, it will be enough to eliminate all the Emperor Clan members, and they can win without any conspiracy or trickery.

Looking at the whole situation, the only things that could tie their hands and feet were Void Devouring Flame's soul realm and the gains and losses of the ancient jade. Without the combat power of an eight-star Douluo, they were not even qualified to interfere with the situation.

"If the Soul Clan lets loose... Tsk."

Xiao Yan's eyes were slightly dim, and he had already prepared for the worst in his heart: "Teacher, we need to go to the Great Desert in advance. The sooner the Burning Technique is upgraded, the better."

"I still hope you can reach the Dou Wang realm first."

Yao Lao looked serious. Even though he knew what a huge monster Xiao Yan was going to face, he still made this suggestion.

"The Blood Lotus Pill can only help you at a critical stage. The most important thing about refining it is still your strength level."

"The process of Master taming the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was a life-and-death struggle. The fact that he was able to survive was 30% due to luck. You don't need to take this gamble now... You don't need to be that desperate for strength, right?"

Even though the Xiao family has a blood feud with the Soul Clan, they have been hiding for a thousand years.

It has been hiding in the northwest corner for so many years without being discovered. It is impossible that it will be suddenly exposed in the next second and be hunted down at lightning speed, right?
"Teacher... there's not much I can say, but one thing must be made clear: twenty years."

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Yao Lao, "We only have this much time. I need to reach the top of the continent within 20 years! At least I need to reach the level of a six-star Dou Sheng. Even a step slower will mean death."

Putting aside other things, someone must break the Soul Clan's Gate of Death.

Otherwise, no matter how united the parties are, the end result will be failure.

"Please, Master."

Xiao Yan looked at him seriously and said, "If I rely on myself, I can only gamble on fate's favor."

"...I promised you that I would help you reach the top and conquer the entire continent, so I will not break my promise."

Yao Lao looked at him steadily, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses: "But, Xiao Yanzi..."

"teacher?"

Xiao Yan looked up in confusion.

"Bang!" In an instant, he was hit hard on the forehead and almost fell to the floor.

"You have been setting a trap for me from the beginning, right?"

Yao Lao's face was dark: "I wonder why you are so proactive. You have been planning to take advantage of me from the beginning, right?"

"Shh... No, no, how can you say that?"

Xiao Yan waved his hands repeatedly: "This is called mutual benefit! Teacher, you will eventually find someone to practice the Burning Technique, and I also need something like this to break through my limits. Isn't this a perfect complement of resources?"

"Humph!"

Yao Lao grunted and threw a small bottle over: "Blood Lotus Pill, plus two Vein Forging Pills. When you can't hold on any longer, take these two. It can buy you about five breaths of time."

Although it was only enough for Xiao Yan to catch his breath, it could also increase the success rate of refining by one point.

If he had not taken into consideration that Xiao Yan's cultivation was still shallow and that high-quality pills were difficult for him to absorb, he would have added a few more Rejuvenating Pills.

"Thank you..."

"When do you plan to leave?"

Yao Lao interrupted impatiently: "Based on this distance, it will take a long time to fly all the way to the Great Desert. If you add in the round trip and the time to tame the strange fire, I don't know if a month will be enough."

"First, help that old man Jia Xingtian to the Dou Zong level, and collect a beast fire while you're at it."

Xiao Yan took out the herbs from the storage ring: "I'll continue practicing in the remaining time. It just so happens that these third and fourth level materials have nowhere to go, so it would be a waste if they are not used." He could put other things aside for the time being, but he could not fall behind in alchemy.

When one reaches the later stages of cultivation, the usefulness of meditation can be said to be equal to zero. If one does not have elixirs to assist in reaching the higher stages, one can only run around looking for opportunities.

"Okay~"

Yao Lao took out the Black Magic Cauldron, and the barrier formed by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire enveloped the entire room. "With so many orders, it's time for me to start refining. When the time comes, I'll pay for the goods and then hand them over. After I'm done, I'll go straight to the desert."

……

"One month."

Jia Xingtian stood in the garden in a daze, as if counting the hours, watering with the kettle in his hand, and did not notice that he had fallen on his legs.

It's time to break the sect soon.

Although he had done a lot of mental preparation beforehand, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

What if the Po Zong Dan is useless? Then wouldn't he have no hope?

"Haha... Mr. Jia, don't be nervous."

The old man Beast Fire stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked at him: "Sir said he would help you break through to Dou Zong, then he will definitely make you succeed."

“Yes, yes…”

Jia Xingtian forced a laugh and said, "My fault. I really shouldn't have doubted your ability."

"It's just that I've been stuck in this realm for too long, and my life span is about to come to an end. It's hard to say how much potential I have left... What if..."

"Nothing unexpected."

A voice suddenly sounded from Jia Xingtian's heart, as if the other party was talking to him in his mind.

"gentlemen?!"

Jia Xingtian, who had been standing at the top for many years, was shocked. The kettle in his hand broke with a muffled sound, splashing half of his body. After looking around, he found that the man in black robe had stood behind him at some point.

If he wanted to take action, he would have laid down long ago.

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a month, you seem to be more active?"

The old voice continued to echo, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch any clues.

Is this what they call soul conversation?
He could actually connect with the consciousness of a Dou Huang silently, which was a realm that even Gu He could not reach.

'The legendary seventh-grade alchemist...'

Jia Xingtian's back was covered with cold sweat, and he did not dare to neglect it: "To be honest, sir, I have used all my energy to collect rewards in the past month, and I have also tried my best to adjust my fighting spirit to the best state."

He bowed and took out a ring inlaid with tiny crystals and presented it to the emperor: "The resources of the entire Jia Ma Empire are all in it. Please take a look at it, sir."

In order to plunder supplies, Jia Xingtian tried every possible means, even going to the Yunlan Sect and the Alchemist Guild in person to negotiate, and got everything he could ask for or borrow.

His psychological expectations were not high, as long as he could ensure that one of him and his old friend could advance.

"As long as you reach Dou Zong... everything will come back to you!"

"Very good~"

Xiao Yan raised his hand slightly, and the storage ring was sucked into his hand for inspection.

"hiss!"

The eyes under the black robe suddenly widened: "Teacher! Look quickly..."

"what happened?"

Yao Lao extended his soul to scan the interior, and the expression on his face froze in an instant: "No way..."

The ring was gorgeous on the outside and even more luxurious on the inside. Jia Xingtian seemed to have made special preparations by melting countless gold coins into shelves and display stands, on which all the confiscated goods were placed in different categories.

Pill recipes, ancient books, medicinal materials, rare metals, magic nuclear weapons, and even a few projection devices in the corner.

Although the quality is not high, the total number is huge.

"He has put most of the empire in here." Even Yao Lao was a little surprised and shocked by the old man's desire to break through.

The Xingyun Pavilion's headquarters is only a thousand miles in radius, with a total of four-digit staff. Although the value of the materials consumed on a daily basis is several times that of this storage ring, there is really no comparison in terms of quantity.

"What do you think, sir?"

When Jia Xingtian saw that he did not reply, he suddenly became nervous, thinking that these supplies did not satisfy him.

"It's barely enough... Even though there are a lot of these things, it's still difficult to use them to exchange for two Dou Zong masters."

Xiao Yan shook his head: "Well, I'll help you this time just for our old friendship."

To him, less than one percent of the things in the ring were useful, and that pile of low-level materials was meaningless except for the fact that they were large in quantity.

What’s the use of him having 30,000 first-grade golden sunflowers?
Provide medicine powder for hundreds of thousands of troops?
"Thank you sir!"

Jia Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take him to the pharmacy when a jade bottle filled with medicine was placed in front of him.

"Take it at your own discretion. The medicinal effects can be stacked to a certain extent. After taking this Qi-boosting pill, take the Sect-breaking Pill. It will definitely be successful."

Xiao Yan took out another porcelain bottle: "But the price is also very heavy. From now on, you will always stay at the one-star Dou Zong level. Of course, if you don't want to pay such a price, you can choose to eat it directly and try to break through."

"Thank you in advance, sir. I choose the first option."

Jia Xingtian hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly relaxed: "I am grateful to have met a noble man like you who helped me break through the realm and extend my life! I dare not ask for more favors from fate."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers and summoned a wave of fire that enveloped the entire garden: "Let's begin."

……

"grown ups."

The old man Beast Fire saluted respectfully, and his appearance and complexion had changed drastically compared to before.

Flesh and blood appeared on his body, which had been emaciated to the point of being skin and bones, and the dark deathly aura lingering between his eyebrows was also swept away.

"You've been doing pretty well these days, haven't you? You've gotten better much faster than I expected."

Yao Lao carefully examined his body and found that the meridians that had been cut and damaged were basically unblocked. As long as the damaged state was made up, he would be able to recover to his full strength.

Hearing this, the old man Beast Fire had an awkward look on his face: "Sir... To be honest, old man Jia, for your sake, prepared a lot of natural treasures for me to make up for the shortfall."

"The difference in strength is too great. He insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't refuse..."

"But please rest assured, sir. I have already used several volumes of Xuan-level martial arts to pay for the expenses. This debt of favor will definitely not involve you!"

"You are quite smart. You have been working hard watching over here these days."

Yao Lao glanced at him helplessly, then took out a gray fire seed and said, "I'll give you one of the fire seeds I refined. It can be regarded as returning the item to its original owner."

"Don't dare."

The old man took the seed and bowed: "The Flame Skill has already belonged to you, sir. How can you say it's the 'original owner'?"
