Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

"Let's get back to the point." Lu Yu said, "What do you want from me?"

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy did not dwell on this matter and immediately stated his purpose.

Borrow the venue and puppets to practice!

"Okay, I'll lend it to you, use it." Lu Yu waved his hand and took out the talisman puppet. He had already imprinted his spiritual mark on the talisman puppet, so no one could snatch it away.

Xiao Yan nodded. Although this guy was a bastard, he did what he said.

"Not bad, kid." Yao Lao floated out of the ring, praised with a smile, he is indeed a man who does what he says.

His existence was already known to Lu Yu, so there was no need to hide it.

Lu Yu glanced at him and ignored him. He formed seals with his hands and practiced to continue consolidating his realm after advancing to the level of a fighting master.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye another month had passed. Lu Yu practiced weightlifting every day, and from time to time he would go into the Monster Mountain Range to fight monsters. His fighting spirit level improved steadily, and within a month he broke through again and became a two-star fighting master.

Xiao Yan's cultivation speed was also not slow. With the help of Yao Lao's elixir, he improved two stars in a month and moved towards the level of Dou Shi step by step.

Dang Dang Dang...

In front of the waterfall, Xiao Yan fought with Fu Kui again. Without using Dou Qi, Fu Kui's attack power was not very high, only about the strength of a three or four star Dou Master.

The reason why Lu Yu determined that Fu Kui could fight on equal terms with someone at the Grand Fighter level was because he had no sense of pain, was tireless, and had strong defensive capabilities.

It has to be said that Xiao Yan has a sharp vision, and Fu Kui is indeed a very good sparring partner. Xiao Yan's training speed is obviously several points faster than what is recorded in the original work.

Bang!

Fu Kui's iron fist hit Xiao Yan hard, and with a splash, Xiao Yan flew backwards and fell into the lake.

"Okay, let's take a break first." Yao Lao waved his hand and released his soul power, activating a formation on the talisman puppet. Suddenly, the talisman puppet stopped in place as if the power was cut off.

"Huff...Huff...I'm so tired..." Xiao Yan stuck out his tongue and lay by the lake, gasping heavily.

Fu Kui doesn't have the brains of a human. He doesn't know the severity of his attacks and he just wants to kill people. Xiao Yan gets injured if he's not careful.

It’s not a big deal to recuperate, but it will waste a lot of time, and what he lacks the most is time, so Xiao Yan has to concentrate all his energy every day to deal with the battle with Fu Kui.

Lu Yu ignored them and held a yellowed scroll in his hand. It was an incomplete map, on which a strange black fire lotus could be vaguely seen.

The map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, it's time to get the alchemy skills from Yao Lao. The map of the strange fire in his hand is the bait.

Lu Yu was determined to obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the Ancient Refining Heaven Array, and would definitely not let Xiao Yan get these two things.

As for how to get the map back from Xiao Yan...haha, he is a time traveler and has so many chips in his hands that he can knock Xiao Yan down and call him daddy.

Not long after, Xiao Yan, who had changed into clean clothes, came to Lu Yu panting. Seeing that Lu Yu was not practicing as usual, but staring at a piece of yellow paper in a daze, he couldn't help but move his eyes closer.

"Brother Lu, what is this?"

"Xiao Yanzi, this thing... is a little unusual!" Yao Lao shouted in his mind: "That lotus looks very much like the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire!"

“Pure Lotus Demonic Fire? The third-ranked strange fire?” A hint of joy suddenly flashed across Xiao Yan’s face. His current Burning Art was still at the low-level yellow rank after just leaving the Novice Village. No matter what aspect, it was extremely poor.

His fighting spirit was gone within two minutes of fighting. He was now extremely eager to upgrade his skills, and was looking forward to the strange fire to the point of his eyes turning green.

"Brother Lu, your map seems very mysterious..." Xiao Yan licked his lips and asked tentatively.

Lu Yu glanced at him and knew that the fish had been hooked.

"What? Are you interested?" Lu Yu asked indifferently.

"Haha..." Xiao Yan laughed flatteringly: "I am very interested in these mysterious things."

"Do you know what this is?" Lu Yu asked with a chuckle.

"I don't know, I'm just curious." Xiao Yan shook his head. This thing involved strange fire, and he didn't want to spread it to others. The fighting spirit of the man in front of him was also fire, so there was no guarantee that he wouldn't fight with him.

"Then do you want to know?" Lu Yu said with a smile.

"Brother Lu, do you know the details of this thing?" Xiao Yan said with surprise, but his heart sank. Trouble...

"This thing was left behind by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint." Lu Yu flicked the map and laughed.

“Pure Lotus Demon Saint…” Xiao Yan’s face changed drastically. Just by hearing the name, he knew that this was a Dou Sheng powerful.

"That's right, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint." Lu Yu nodded and laughed:

"He was a peerless warrior at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, with one foot halfway into the Dou Emperor realm. He was almost going to become the first Dou Emperor since the ancient emperor Tuoshe."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth wide and felt his mouth dry. He thought this thing was only related to the strange fire, but he didn't expect that it would involve a half-emperor strongman.

"This, this..." Xiao Yan was dumbfounded and could not speak for a long time. Upon hearing this, Yao Lao also floated out of the ring with a solemn face.

Seeing them like this, Lü Yu continued, "The reason why the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is called the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is because he refined the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."

"And the purpose of him leaving this map behind is to help those who come after him obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. In other words..." Lü Yu shook the map in his hand and said with a smile:

"This is the inheritance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint!"

With a loud bang, Xiao Yan felt as if his mind had exploded. He was so shocked that he could not speak. He just stood there with his mouth open, unable to utter a word.

“This, this… I… you, you, what’s wrong with you…” Xiao Yan hesitantly spoke, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Yao Lao narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. He murmured for a moment and then asked, "Boy, why are you telling us this? And how do you know this?"

Even though he is a knowledgeable and experienced Medicine Master who has traveled around the world for decades, he could only distinguish the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and had no idea about the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and its inheritance. How did this kid know about it?

Xiao Yan suddenly realized, yes, why are you telling us this? Wouldn't it be better to hide it yourself?

"Of course I have a special source of intelligence." Patting the map, Lu Yu chuckled and said, "Do you want it?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yan's face changed.

"I can give it to you if you want." Lu Yu said with a smile:

"As long as you can offer something worth exchanging."

Hearing this, Yao Lao's eyes lit up. He was the number one alchemist in the continent. He had nothing but money!

There was also a layer of heat in Xiao Yan’s eyes. This was the inheritance of a half-emperor. Although it was incomplete, with it there was hope!

"Tell me, kid, what do you want?" Yao Lao laughed: "Martial arts, fighting skills, elixirs, I have things that you can't think of, but there is nothing I can't give you."

What I want is your words!

Lu Yu chuckled: "I want...alchemy!"

Chapter 16: Is there a time when you are not here?

"Alchemy?" Yao Lao raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yu in surprise: "You want to become an alchemist?"

"Is it not possible?" Lü Yu said with a smile, "Or Senior Yao Zun will accept me as his disciple?"

"I can't afford to accept you as my disciple." Yao Lao smiled and shook his head. He accepted Xiao Yan as his disciple after observing him since he was a child. After he had gone through the test of the disappearance of his fighting spirit, he came out when Xiao Yan was in desperate situation and accepted him as his disciple.

Asking him to take in a person of unknown origin...he can't do it!

There was a glimmer of disappointment in Lu Yu's eyes. Although he had been prepared for this, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. This meant that he could only rely on himself to fight his way up. There was no other way.

"Then this deal..." Lu Yu flicked the map and chuckled.

"I can teach you the art of alchemy, but it is not my inheritance." Yao Lao said proudly: "My inheritance... is not something that everyone is qualified to receive."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly. Unfortunately, he was the qualified person.

"Including high-level alchemy?" Lu Yu asked. He automatically ignored the latter sentence. He didn't need to pay attention to that nonsense.

"Of course, my reputation won't allow me to do such a stingy thing." Yao Lao curled his lips and smiled.

"I have another request." Lu Yu said: "I want to ask you for advice, and I hope you won't refuse."

"Okay." Yao Lao nodded. It was just answering the younger generation's questions, it was not a big deal.

"Then...deal!" Lu Yu handed the map to them. Yao Lao clenched his hand and handed over a white jade slip with a faint medicinal aroma:

"What you want is something I got by accident. It is worthy of your incomplete Half-Emperor inheritance."

"Medicine Valley Heritage"!

Lu Yu's face lit up with joy. He raised his hand to take it and pressed it against his forehead. Suddenly, a huge amount of information came like a tsunami and hit Lu Yu's soul fiercely.

Lu Yu closed his eyes slightly, quietly enduring this huge impact of information. After a while, he slowly let out a breath, but his face did not look very good.

This alchemy technique is very good, and it even provides instructions for levels one to nine. It is directly imprinted in the mind in the form of soul images. It can be said to be taught step by step. With Lu Yu's control over soul power, he quickly learned part of it.

But the problem is... there is no recipe!

This inheritance of alchemy skills does not even have a single recipe!

Damn, this old guy is cheating me!

Seeing Lü Yu wake up, Yao Lao asked with a smile: "How is it? This alchemy technique is good, right?"

"You old fool are trying to trick me!" Lu Yu said with a bad look.

"Why do you say that?" Yao Lao said innocently, "What you want is the alchemy technique, not the recipe. Our transaction does not involve any recipe."

Yao Lao said with a smile, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lü Yu: “…”

This old man is taking revenge!

Lü Yu snorted coldly, "Is there a time when you're not here? See how I make Xiao Yan suffer a fate worse than death!"

"News about the strange fire in exchange for 100 pill recipes, would you like to trade?" Lu Yu said with a light cough. Without the pill recipes, his alchemy skills were useless, so he could only continue the transaction.

Anyway, I don't feel sorry for giving away money to other people!

"News about the strange fire?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up and his back straightened instantly.

"One hundred pill recipes...you really have the guts to say that." Yao Lao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly.

"For those below the seventh rank, I think the news about the strange fire is worth the price." Lu Yu said.

"Including the first and second grades?" asked Yao Lao.

"of course."

"What news about the strange fire?"

"Ranked fifteenth, Hai Xinyan." Lu Yu chuckled.

"Deal!" Yao Lao made the decision immediately. He snapped his fingers and a large number of scrolls flew out and floated in front of Lu Yu.

"Ten portions of sixth-grade elixirs, ten portions of fifth-grade elixirs, and the rest are all first to fourth-grade elixir recipes." Yao Lao was frank and honest, and he would not play tricks this time.

Lu Yu nodded and happily put away all the scrolls.

"Ahem...Brother Lu, the news about the strange fire..." Xiao Yan reminded.

“Hehe…” Lu Yu raised a wicked smile: “In Yaohuang City in the Black Horn Region, on the body of their city lord Yaohuang.”

"It already has an owner?" Yao Lao's face darkened and he said unhappily, this kid is trying to trick me?

"Hehehe, the name of the Medicine King... is Han Feng!" Lu Yu said with a wicked smile.

With a loud bang, Yao Lao's face suddenly became gloomy, and a powerful aura burst out from his body instantly. Xiao Yan, who was just watching and paddling the whole time, was blown away in an instant.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiao Yan looked confused.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, old senior is really angry." Lu Yu opened the protective shield and said with a teasing smile, "Isn't this news disgusting enough that you, an old fellow, have cheated me?"

"Hmph, you are not a fair boy!" Yao Lao snorted, quickly adjusted his mood and retracted his momentum.

Lu Yu spread his hands. He was thinking about clearing up Yao Lao's house, and he had good intentions.

“Uh… can anyone explain it to me?” Xiao Yan weakly raised his hand. He was confused the entire time and was even knocked down by the momentum, almost getting injured.

"I'll tell you later..." Yao Lao sighed and said without interest. The news about Lu Yu really made him upset.

Lu Yu chuckled, turned around and went into his own cave, activated the formation and closed the cave entrance. He was going to start studying the art of alchemy!

Yao Lao and Xiao Yan glanced at him, not paying much attention, and continued to control the talisman puppet to practice and do their own things. More than a year had passed since the three-year agreement, and they had no time to waste and had to seize every moment.

……

Qingshan Town.

It has been more than a year since Mu She disappeared, and the damaged forces of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group have gradually recovered. Although a seven-star fighter plus an eight-star fighter cannot dominate the entire Qingshan Town, they are enough to keep their side safe.

As for why the third captain He Meng did not leave the Wolf Head Mercenaries... To be honest, he did a lot of arrogant and domineering things when Mu She was here, and the people in Qingshan Town hated him to death.
