Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 52: Find someone to teach you how to make medicine

Afterwards, with Hun Ruoruo's conscience awakening, Xiao Yan temporarily gained the right to move freely. He quickly ran to where Kagang and others were, and cooperated with everyone to put out the fire. He was busy until early morning.

As the sun rose, Xiao Yan knew that it was not appropriate to explain the matter directly to everyone, so he went to Kagang alone and handed over the storage ring that he had obtained from the bandits.

After taking the ring and examining it briefly, Kagan's face was suddenly filled with shock. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Yaoyan, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Kagang, don't worry. This ring contains only the supplies and money that originally belonged to the caravan. There is nothing else."

Although he was not short of money for the time being, he would not be a sucker. The resources that were originally looted by the boss had already been put into Xiao Yan's own storage ring, so it only contained the wealth belonging to the caravan.

Hearing this, Kagan had a wry smile on his face. He didn't care about what was inside. This ring was clearly the most precious treasure.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had made up his mind, Ka Gang didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement: "Okay, since Brother Yao Yan has such a kind intention, I, Ka Gang, will naturally pass it on to the caravan."

"Haha, Uncle Kagan, this ring is not a gift for the caravan."

After saying that, he tugged at the loose, ill-fitting long gown on his body. After being soaked in blood, the gown had already become dry and stiff, and it looked extremely out of place with the boy's thin figure.

"The clothes are quite warm, thank you." The young man's voice was a little tired. He turned around and waved his hand as a farewell to the two of them.

Kagan twisted his lips, gripped the ring tightly in his palm, and watched the boy's back gradually disappearing into the distance. It was obvious that he wanted to deeply engrave the image of this legendary boy in his mind.

"Oh, you're quite good at pretending."

The girl's sweet voice suddenly appeared, making the originally elegant figure suddenly become a little stiff.

Xiao Yan looked at Hun Ruoruo who had appeared beside him out of nowhere and couldn't help but complain, "Ruoruo, please stop scaring me. I'm exhausted after a whole night of fighting."

After last night, Xiao Yan always felt that the other party seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, but he couldn't tell what they were.

But at this moment, his head was so tired that he no longer had the mind to think about it. He just wanted to find a place to rest quickly.

Hun Ruoruo took out a huge Xuanzhong ruler and bent Xiao Yan's straight body instantly.
"You stayed in that caravan for two full hours and still didn't remember to take your weapon. So, as a punishment, I'll hold you while you sleep."

Xiao Yan really couldn't muster any more strength at this moment. After trying several times but failing to walk, he had no choice but to put the Xuan Zhong Chi back into his storage ring.

He walked slowly towards the distant forest and said lazily, "Hearing Ruoruo's tone, I almost thought it was the teacher next to me."

"Senior Yao Lao gave me this task when he opened the furnace, so you can think of it this way."

Hun Ruoruo's eyes suddenly lost their previous scrutiny and took on their usual cunningness.

"Xiao Yan, call me teacher."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt his temples swell up, as if he had returned to those unbearable days in Wutan City.
No, it seems like he hasn’t been away from Wutan City for long, so why would he have this feeling?
Walking into the forest, Xiao Yan found the winding river again, following the water source he had found when traveling with the caravan. He tore off his clothes that were almost stuck to his skin with blood stains, and then jumped into the river impatiently to wash away the bloody smell on his body.

During the previous bloody fight, the frenzied murderous aura and blood had already completely obscured his sense of smell. Now, after cleansing himself up, Xiao Yan even felt like he was reborn.

After reaching the shore, Xiao Yan jokingly said sorry to Kagang, and then completely discarded the smelly bloody clothes.

This thing is obviously no longer wearable.

The young man took out a brand new black robe from his ring and put it on, then quickly headed towards the direction of Hun Ruoruo in the distance.

"What is this?" Xiao Yan looked at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs in front of him and a strange medicine cauldron shining with glass light, as if he remembered a possibility.

He was dumbfounded and said, "Do we have to start learning alchemy? But, without the teacher here, I'm afraid the experience recorded in the manual alone won't work, right?"

"What should you call me?" Hun Ruoruo blinked and said.

"."

Xiao Yan also blinked and asked tentatively, "Teacher Ruoruo?"

The girl smiled and nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, I'll teach you."

Seeing that the other party spoke so confidently, Xiao Yan, although somewhat skeptical, still sat down cross-legged and looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him.

The entire body of this tripod presents a luxurious glass-colored glow. The body of the tripod is small and exquisite, but when the soul power is injected into it, it can produce very considerable energy fluctuations. A slight sense of resonance can be felt, as if offsetting the soul power he has consumed.

With such capabilities, this tripod must be extremely extraordinary.

He stroked the medicine cauldron in admiration. Even though he could not be called an alchemist at the moment, Xiao Yan still felt a sense of joy at having seen a great prey.

He asked, "Does this tripod have a name?"

"The cauldron is named Quenyan. It is the thing I used when I was studying the art of alchemy. Its characteristic is that it can amplify the flame injected into it, forming a more stable and powerful alchemy fire. For a novice like you, it is quite suitable." Hun Ruoruo explained.

Ever since she took on the role of a teacher, even her speech seemed to have become much more normal.

"Quenyan Ding is a good name."

Xiao Yan grinned, looking at the Flame Tempering Cauldron in front of him, which was emitting a glassy sheen. He then imitated the movements in the Alchemist's Manual and poured his Dou Qi into it.

"Oh!"

The Flame Tempering Cauldron made a muffled sound, and then the cauldron body trembled slightly, spewing out all the flames from the fire mouth, burning Xiao Yan so much that he grimaced.
"What's going on? I've clearly poured all my Dou Qi into the medicine cauldron as instructed, so why is it suddenly rejecting it?"

Hun Ruoruo glanced at the scattered fire spots remaining in the cauldron and said casually:
"Ancient texts say that those who refine medicine must obey the will of Heaven while also competing with it. Of the forty-nine great ways of Heavenly Evolution, only one has been omitted. Pure fire-attributed Dou Qi is too intense and perfect to achieve the meaning of 'obeying', let alone the so-called 'competing'."

The girl first posed a question to Xiao Yan, and after he showed a thoughtful expression, she continued:

"The only way to achieve both perfection and 'Escape One' is to mix nearly pure fire-attributed Dou Qi with a trace of wood energy from your body, and repeat this cycle. Only then can it be called the fire of alchemy."

After listening to Hun Ruoruo's explanation, Xiao Yan began to try to find the faint trace of wood attribute from the cyclone in his body.
After about a minute, his eyes lit up, and then he injected the wood attribute he had found into the medicine cauldron with some anticipation.

After a few breaths, the Tempering Flame Cauldron suddenly burst out with a strong luster. With the blessing of the medicine cauldron, the powerful alchemy fire continued to roll, reflecting the flames in the depths of Xiao Yan's pupils.

His mouth opened wide, and he looked at Hun Ruoruo beside him in horror, who had expected this, and muttered, "No, she really can do it?"
