Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"You promise that nothing will happen again this time, right?"

"I promise not! Senior Yao said this time it was just a treatment for backlash, and there won't be any confusion or anything like that."

Xiao Yan said this quickly. It can be seen that Yao Shen also considered this point in advance and asked him to explain it to Xiao Yan. Otherwise, what happened with Zi Yun just happened before. The little doctor fairy would not easily let Xiao Yan go to Burning Flame if he didn't explain it clearly. valley.

"Is it."

The little medical fairy's eyes were still full of doubts, but she still didn't get entangled too much and let go of Xiao Yan's ears and said leisurely.

"Then you go, but there is a condition." The little medical fairy pointed at Xiao Yan and said solemnly: "This time when we go to Fenyan Valley, we will bring Cao Ying and Gu Qinghan with us."

Upon hearing the little medical fairy's request, Xiao Yan was slightly startled, with doubts in his eyes.

"It's okay to take them with us, but why?"

"Don't worry about it, just bring it with you."

The little medical fairy pinched Xiao Yan's face, interrupted his questioning, and demanded forcefully.

Needless to say, Cao Ying, with her current relationship with Xiao Yan, would not want Xiao Yan to have an affair with another woman again, so it would be more defensive if she followed him.

Moreover, Cao Ying and Xiao Yan have not had much contact so far. On the contrary, the little medical fairy has been getting along very happily with Cao Ying during this period, so she regarded it as a favor and asked her to take this opportunity to cultivate her and Xiao Yan. Feelings, and since she was going to refine medicine, Cao Ying might be able to help.

As for Gu Qinghan, although the little medical fairy knew that she had that intention for Xiao Yan, in fact it was just a sign. With Xun'er's relationship, and Xiao Yan himself would not take the initiative, her sign was just a sign. , can’t grow.

The most important thing is that she is now shouldering the solemn entrustment of her young lady. With Gu Qinghan here, even if there is any accident to Xiao Yan, Gu Qinghan can help stop it for Xun'er.

Of course, the little medical fairy was too lazy to explain these words to Xiao Yan, especially the matter about Gu Qinghan.

"Go ahead and come back as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll leave it to you, Zi Yan."

Xiao Yan nodded, stood up and said goodbye to the Little Medical Fairy, turned around and left the cave. Looking at Xiao Yan's leaving figure, the Little Medical Fairy sighed helplessly.

"This guy is really worrying me all the time, can't he just let me calm down for a while?"

The Little Medical Fairy complained in a low voice that from the beginning of their acquaintance to now, the Little Medical Fairy had helped to deal with almost all the troubles Xiao Yan had encountered. She felt like she was almost becoming Xiao Yan's biological mother.

"Oh, I can't help it. Who told me to identify this guy?"

The little medical fairy lamented again, recognizing the man she had chosen.

After that, Xiao Yan followed the instructions of the little medical fairy. Xiao Yan asked Gu Qinghan and Cao Ying for their opinions and asked them if they could go to Burning Flame Valley with him. Although the two were a little confused, they were quite leisurely staying in Xingyun Pavilion. , agreed to go with Xiao Yan without much thought.

"Master Tang Zhen Valley, this junior is fully prepared and ready to leave at any time."

Xiao Yan brought Cao Ying and Gu Qinghan to the main hall of Xingyun Pavilion and said this to Tang Zhen. Tang Zhen looked overjoyed and stood up immediately.

"Okay! Without further ado, let's set off now!" Then Tang Zhen turned around and saluted respectfully to Yao Chen, "Master Yao Sheng, please rest assured that no matter what the final result is, I will send your disciple safely." return."

After saying that, Tang Zhen greeted Xiao Yan and the others to leave the hall. Xiao Yan said goodbye to Yao Shen and Feng Xian and followed with Cao Ying and Gu Qinghan. Within a few breaths, he left Xingyun Pavilion and headed towards Rush in the direction of Fenyan Valley quickly.

After they left, Feng Xian glanced at Yao Chen, with a look of helplessness on her brows.

"You really dare to open your mouth like a lion. The Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire is the heritage treasure of their Burning Flame Valley. It has a history of nearly a thousand years. Why do you think that the Burning Flame Valley will be willing to give it to you? Even if Tang Zhen does it for himself If my daughter is willing to hand it over, can the elders of Fenyan Valley agree? "

"Ha~ Xiao Xianxian, you are still too young. If you really can't give it, Tang Zhen will not ask for passing the test. Although those elders will probably give Xiao Yanzi a hard time in the test, but since there is this test, It proves that it is possible for the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire to be handed over, otherwise Tang Zhen would have simply said it was impossible."

As for whether Tang Zhen might be lying? That is even more impossible. When Yao Shen was still Yao Zun, his status and appeal in Zhongzhou were unimaginable. Now that he has become Medicine Saint, it is far different from the past. As long as Fenyan Valley has a normal mind, he would not dare to make up a story. Telling lies to offend Yao Shen.

"Besides, who said you wanted their inheritance treasure?"

Yao Chen said this with a smile, which made Feng Xian slightly stunned.

"But you didn't mean that"

"We are talking about the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire, not the inherited treasure of Burning Flame Valley. These are two things." Yao Shen raised two fingers, with a look that saw everything through, "That Tang Zhen just said Do you remember how her daughter’s symptoms were triggered?”

"You said it was the backlash caused by the failure to absorb the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire, and you only have half a year left to live?"

Feng Xian was suddenly stunned. The Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire was the inherited fire of the Burning Flame Valley. Logically speaking, it should be on the body of Tang Zhen, the owner of the valley. So what did her daughter absorb?

"After all, it is a strange fire that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. If there is only one of them after so many years, then their Burning Flame Valley is quite useless." Yao Chen smiled and continued: "The strange fire in Tang Zhen's body It is the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. As for the strange fire that her daughter absorbed, it should have been cultivated by the Burning Flame Valley over the years. "

"I see. But I don't think the other party will give it to me?"

Feng Xian frowned. Even if it wasn't the inherited strange fire, it was still a strange fire. It was a very rare thing. Can Fenyan Valley just give it to him casually?

"It all depends on Xiao Yanzi's ability~ Anyway, he has nothing to do recently. The main purpose this time is to make good friends with Fenyan Valley. The Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire is just the icing on the cake." Yao Chen smiled slightly, He said calmly: "Whether you can get it or not is not important in itself."

With the speed of Xiao Yan and the others, they arrived at the Burning Flame Valley in just one day. Looking at the surrounding mountains that looked like lava, Xiao Yan and the others felt a rush of heat as soon as they stepped into this place, which made Xiao Yan secretly... I sigh that it is worthy of the name of Burning Flame Valley.

Gu Qinghan's eyes were also curiously looking at the environment of Burning Flame Valley. Although his family already knew about the forces of one palace, one tower, three valleys and four square pavilions, this was the first time he had actually come here. This time he came here with Xiao Yan. some insights.

"I heard from the teacher before that the climate in Fenyan Valley is very hot and dry, but now it seems that the teacher is still conservative."

Cao Ying gently fanned her face with her delicate hand, and put it down after a while, because she found that not only did this not make her cooler, but she endured more heat waves. The temperature in this valley was so high that even The breeze was also affected.

"Little brother Xiao Yan, welcome to my Burning Flame Valley."

Tang Zhen chuckled and led the three of them to the mountain gate. When the two Burning Flame Valley disciples guarding the gate saw Tang Zhen coming back, they immediately stood up straight and greeted him respectfully.

"Valley Master, welcome back!"

"Yes." Tang Zhen nodded slightly and gently extended his hand to Xiao Yan and the others, "These three are my distinguished guests. For now, take them to the living room to entertain them while I go to meet the elders."

"Yes!"

Then Tang Zhen excused himself to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan and the other three followed the Fenyan Valley disciples to the living room and sat down to wait quietly.

"Xiao Yan, did Senior Yao just ask you to come here to treat the daughter of the owner of the Burning Flame Valley?"

With nothing to do, Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan and asked, Xiao Yan nodded lightly.

"Well, Senior Yao said that after the disease is cured, Valley Master Tang will give me a chance to take a test. If I pass it, I can get the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire."

"Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire?!"

Cao Ying couldn't help showing surprise when she heard Xiao Yan's words, which made Xiao Yan stunned for a moment.

"what happened?"

"Xiao Yan, don't you know? This is different from the Three Thousand Flame Fire. The Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire is a strange fire that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years in the Burning Flame Valley. Only the valley masters of the past generations can fuse it. Compared with the strange fire itself, it contains The significance is even more important. How could Fenyan Valley give the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire to you, an outsider?"

"Is that so?" Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly dawned, and then he pinched his chin lightly, "But Senior Yao did tell me that, and I'm not sure how she talked to Valley Master Tang."

Saying this, Xiao Yan shrugged lightly.

"It doesn't matter even if you can't get it. I guess Senior Yao's main purpose is to establish a friendly relationship with Burning Flame Valley. Although I really need the strange fire in order to improve my strength now, since it shouldn't be available as you said, Don’t be too obsessed with things you can’t get.”

Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Tang Zhen came to the living room. Xiao Yan turned his eyes and saw the three old men following him. They should be the three Fen Yangu whom Tang Zhen said he wanted to meet. Elder.

However, Xiao Yan keenly discovered that the faces of these three elders did not seem to look good at this time.

"Master Tang Valley."

Xiao Yan stood up and saluted Tang Zhen with clasped fists. Tang Zhen raised his hand slightly. Before he could say anything, the elder behind him stared at him with displeasure.

"I am the great elder of Fenyan Valley, and you are the disciple of the Medicine Saint?"

It could be clearly felt that the great elder seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with him. Xiao Yan vaguely guessed the reason, but did not ask any more questions and responded in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"Yes, junior Xiao Yan is the second disciple of Senior Yao. He came to treat Valley Master Tang's daughter on the orders of his master."

"Do you know the conditions your teacher proposed to our Valley Master?"

The Great Elder of Fenyan Valley asked again, and Xiao Yan answered truthfully.

"Junior knows that the master has explained the agreement to the junior in front of Valley Master Tang." Xiao Yan paused and continued: "But the junior has just learned about the significance of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire to Fenyan Valley. The master proposed it. This agreement does seem to be taking advantage of someone else’s situation.”

"Having said that, my master's move is also out of her kindness. As the beneficiary, I should not and cannot blame my master. Please bear with me."

Xiao Yan's words made the Great Elder of Fenyan Valley freeze on the spot, and his prepared words were choked in his throat. Tang Zhen also looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, and the latter continued.

"Since my master has made an agreement with Master Tang Valley, I cannot live up to her wishes. As for the difficulty of the agreed test, everyone in Fenyan Valley can adjust it at will. Whether I can pass the test is my own business. If If I pass, I will show mercy to you. If I fail, the juniors will go back and tell their teachers that it is because of my lack of ability, so you don’t need to take it to heart.”

The three elders were stunned for a moment when Xiao Yan said such serious words. To be honest, with Yao Shen's current status, Fenyangu would have to weigh it carefully if he really wanted to deliberately prevent Xiao Yan from passing the test. What if the target is too obvious and someone blames her? After all, Yao Shen is the one who needs help from Fenyan Valley now. Yao Shen doesn't care about the martial arts and fighting skills of Fenyan Valley at all. If it weren't for the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire, she probably wouldn't bother to let Xiao Yan come over.

But what Xiao Yan said now really made them unable to deal with it. Tang Zhen came to Xiao Yan and laughed and patted his shoulder.

"Well said, little brother Xiao Yan! I like your unabashed character so much! To be honest, I had a headache when I agreed to the Medicine Saint's request. Let you pass the test. I'm not in good hands. Come on, I won’t let you pass the test. Yao Sheng is worried about his face. I’m having a hard time with this. I won’t be polite if you say that during the test.”

"Please do as you please, Master Tang Valley."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile, and at this time the three elders also came back to their senses, looking at Xiao Yan with a slightly weird expression.

Although they had never been in contact with Yao Shen, they still knew a little about Yao Shen's reputation among the upper-class forces in Zhongzhou. However, when they saw the integrity shown by Xiao Yan in front of them, they couldn't help but have an impression of Yao Shen who they had never met. Something has changed.

Since he can have a disciple with such a personality, the character of the Medicine Saint should not be as bad as the rumors say, right?

Chapter 696 Xun'er is still in the family

After the attitude of the three Burning Flame Valley elders towards Xiao Yan changed, Xiao Yan also met this patient, Tang Zhen's daughter Tang Huo'er. The first impression that Xiao Yan had on Xiao Yan was that of a fiery and unrestrained personality. She didn't show any signs of depression because she only had half a year left to live. On the contrary, she was full of pride, and her fiery red hair was flying like flames, making Xiao Yan inexplicably see the shadow of Yaotian Fire in her body.

When Yao Tianhuo was as old as Tang Huo'er, he probably had the same personality as hers.

Afterwards, under Tang Zhen's arrangement, Xiao Yan and the other three rested for one night in Fenyan Valley. Early the next morning, Xiao Yan got down to business: treating Tang Huo'er.

However, it is to treat diseases, or to be more precise, to help refine medicine. Tang Zhen has already prepared the Fire Buddha Pill prescription and medicinal materials for treating Tang Huoer in advance. Xiao Yan only needs to refine the Fire Buddha Pill according to the prescription.

As for why Xiao Yan was asked to come to Burning Flame Valley in person, to be honest, it was just for insurance. If Tang Huo'er still didn't recover after taking the Fire Buddha Pill, Xiao Yan still had to find a way to help solve the problem.

In the early morning, Tang Zhen led Xiao Yan and others to the square on the back hill of Fenyan Valley. In the middle of the square stood a huge medicine cauldron, which made Xiao Yan and Cao Ying unable to help but marvel.

Such a huge medicinal cauldron has never been seen before.

While Xiao Yan and Cao Ying were sighing secretly, Tang Zhen looked at the huge medicine cauldron in front of him with regret on his face. Tang Huoer folded his arms and explained to Xiao Yan and the others.

"My father was very obsessed with refining medicine, not to mention he also owned the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire that has been passed down from generation to generation in Burning Flame Valley, so he has been working hard to learn how to refining medicine through various methods." As he said that, Tang Huoer spread his hands helplessly. "It's a pity that my father really doesn't have that talent. He burned countless precious medicinal materials, but his level of medicine refining has not improved at all. On the contrary, his strength is improving faster and faster, which is beyond words."

Upon hearing Tang Huo'er's words, Cao Ying's eyebrows twitched and she whispered in Xiao Yan's ear.

"This Tang Valley Master's experience sounds quite inspiring."

"really."

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of Boss Yao, who also aimed to become an alchemist at the beginning. Unfortunately, he also had no talent. It can only be said that some things really depend on fate and cannot be forced.

At this time, Tang Zhen waved his hand to his daughter and said.

"That's all, I can only say that your father and I are so lucky. I will never be an alchemist in this life. It will only make me sad if I mention it again."

After speaking, Tang Zhen turned to look at Xiao Yan and handed him a Nai Ring.

"Little brother Xiao Yan, three portions of the medicinal materials of the Fire Buddha Pill have been prepared in this Najie. Please use them as you wish. If there are any remaining medicinal materials after the Fire Buddha Pill is successfully refined, you can dispose of the remaining medicinal materials as you wish."

It is an unwritten rule to ask a pharmacist to make medicine and prepare three copies of medicinal materials in advance, although Xiao Yan has not paid much attention to it until now.

Xiao Yan took the Najie from Tang Zhen and said loudly with his hands clasped in fists.

"Please rest assured, Master Tang. Xiao Yan cannot guarantee success, but he will do his best."

"Don't worry, don't put too much pressure on me." Tang Huo'er patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said with a bold smile: "If you can't practice, you can't practice. Just think that God wants to take away my life. It's no pity. of."

Tang Huo'er's words were so heroic that Xiao Yan and the others couldn't help but feel shocked. If they hadn't known in advance, who would have dared to believe that this was a girl who was about to die?

In Xiao Yan's eyes, Tang Huo'er felt more and more like Yao Tianhuo. The man who died so aggrievedly when he broke through to the Dou Saint didn't feel any resentment at all.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Tang Huo'er raised his eyebrows in confusion at the fixed gaze, and Xiao Yan came back to his senses and scratched his face in embarrassment.

"Ah, it's nothing. I just feel that your personality is quite similar to that of a senior I know. I think you two will get along quite well."

"Eh~ That's it." Tang Huo'er nodded clearly, and then his eyes lit up, "Is the senior you are talking about a man or a woman?"

"She's a woman." Xiao Yan answered immediately, then frowned and pinched his chin gently, "But it should only be biologically female. Internally, she may be closer to a man."

Xiao Yan was just telling the truth. After all, Yao Tianhuo's character, apart from his appearance that he was a woman at a glance, had nothing to do with being a woman.

Who would have thought that Tang Huo'er immediately became excited upon hearing this, pulling Xiao Yan's shoulders and waving back and forth to Tang Zhen.

"Dad! Did you hear what Xiao Yan said? You said before that no woman has my personality, isn't that true?" After speaking, Tang Huoer pressed Xiao Yan's shoulders with both hands, his eyes filled with golden light, "Turn back to me Let me introduce that senior, if she really has the kind of personality you said, we will definitely get along very well!"

"Okay~ I'll introduce it to you later." Xiao Yan smiled, and then gently took away Tang Huo'er's hand on his shoulder, "Now I'd better concentrate on refining the medicine, Cao Ying, please help me by watching. point."

Xiao Yan said and looked at Cao Ying, who also nodded.

"Then little brother Xiao Yan, I'll leave it to you to make the elixir."

Tang Zhen said this again in a deep voice, and then Tang Zhenqing dispersed the others, leaving only Xiao Yan and Cao Ying in the back mountain.

After Tang Zhen and the others left, Xiao Yan's smiling expression just now suddenly became heavier and he looked at Cao Ying.

"Cao Ying, did you feel it just now?"
