Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Yes." Cao Ying nodded solemnly, "I wasn't sure yet when we first met yesterday, but the feeling has become more obvious to me just now."

Cao Ying glanced at the Najie in Xiao Yan's hand, which contained the Fire Buddha Pill prescription and medicinal materials, and said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid Tang Huo'er's hidden illness cannot be cured by this Fire Buddha Pill."

Xiao Yan and Cao Ying had read the prescription for Fire Putan last night. It was indeed effective in curing hidden diseases caused by the backlash of strange fire, but it was obviously not enough for Tang Huo'er.

"What should I do? I've never done anything to improve the prescription."

Xiao Yan took out the Fire Buddha Pill prescription from Najie with a headache on his face, while Cao Ying looked at him in shock.

"Even a sixth-grade alchemist can do such things as improving prescriptions. Didn't Senior Yao teach you?"

"Really not, should I say there is no time or something. So far, in addition to relying on the guidance of Senior Yao at the beginning, I have basically relied on feeling in refining medicine. Apart from the basic knowledge of the theory of medicine refining, I Almost clueless.”

Xiao Yan didn't hide anything and answered truthfully, which made Cao Ying's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

"It's a shame that you can win the Alchemy Championship like this. If Song Qing and the others find out about this, I'm afraid they'll be very angry." Cao Ying shrugged helplessly and reached out to take the prescription of Fire Buddha Pill from Xiao Yan's hand. Come over and say, "Give it to me. I will adjust it according to Tang Huo'er's situation. Then you can just follow the steps I wrote to make the medicine."

As a disciple of Xuan Yi, one of the three giants of Dan Pagoda, Cao Ying is very good at improving prescriptions. So far, not many prescriptions have been improved by her hands.

Xiao Yan was relieved after hearing this and thanked him softly.

"Cao Ying, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? I came here just to help you." Cao Ying said as she checked the prescription with a smile, "Besides, I have learned a lot from Senior Han Feng during this period of time. This is a good opportunity for me to test my learning results."

Afterwards, Cao Ying sat down and began to modify the pill formula with full concentration, while Xiao Yan sat silently opposite her, waiting quietly.

Looking at Cao Ying's serious and delicate face, Xiao Yan looked slightly distracted, and after a while he asked softly.

"Cao Ying, do you regret it?"

"What do you regret?"

Cao Ying didn't even raise her head, and asked while writing changes on the prescription.

Xiao Yan paused and then spoke.

"You risked your life to enter the star field to save me, but in the end that happened. I'm really sorry."

"Ah~ you're talking about this. How long has it been since you mentioned it now?" Cao Ying still didn't raise her head, her eyes fixed on Dan Fang, biting her pen and said lightly: "I have nothing to regret. You don’t have to apologize to me. It was my own choice and my own mistake. If it hadn’t been for me at that time, your soul would not have revolted at the most critical moment. If you have to say it, I would have separated you and Feng. Qing'er is the one who did the harm."

"But if you hadn't stayed to help me, I would have been burned to death by the three thousand flames."

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Ying.

"Isn't this just right? We are even." Cao Ying took a pen and wrote and revised on the prescription, and said softly: "I have handed over my innocence to you, and you are willing to shoulder this responsibility. , I will not regret my choice, and you don’t have to apologize for the past, just live the present with peace of mind.”

As she spoke, Cao Ying picked up the pen and pointed it at Xiao Yan, looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Now you are my husband and I am your wife. It is enough for us to know this fact."

".you're right."

After a long time, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, Cao Ying took back the pen with a chuckle, and then shook her head helplessly.

"But it's really touching. In the past, I had been imagining who my future husband would be and how we would be together. I didn't expect it to be because of an accident." Cao Ying said, lightly He curled his lips, "And this accident was caused by myself. I can't complain even if I want to."

Speaking of this, Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan with curiosity in her eyes and asked.

"Let me ask, how many times have similar accidents happened to you?"

"Uh" Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he covered his eyes and replied in embarrassment, "Except for the little medical fairy, it's almost all accidents."

Why do you say almost? Because of Zi Yun's incident, Xiao Yan still can't tell whether it is an accident or not.

"Except for the Little Medical Fairy, is it true that the Little Medical Fairy is the right match?"

Cao Ying glanced lightly and shrugged helplessly.

It is said that the Little Medical Fairy's fate came later than that of a latecomer like herself, which is quite sad to say. Even if Xiao Yan didn't say it explicitly, Cao Ying guessed that it was the Little Medical Fairy who asked her and Gu Qinghan to come with Xiao Yan this time. Yes, I was just afraid that something would happen to Xiao Yan and that Tang Huo'er again.

Thinking about it, the position of the little medical fairy is not easy.

Suddenly Cao Ying remembered Xun'er who came to Xingyun Pavilion last time and asked.

"What's the relationship between Xun'er and you?"

The conversation between Xun'er and the Little Medical Fairy was unclear last time. Although she was said to be Xiao Yan's sister, it was a bit strange to see the interaction between Xun'er and the Little Medical Fairy.

"Xun'er, she is my sister." Xiao Yan answered without hesitation, and then lightly scratched his face, "I say she is a sister, but in fact she is not related by blood. She was fostered in our house since she was a child. I just went back this year.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yan crossed his arms with a somewhat regretful expression.

"Speaking of which, I didn't have time to talk to Xun'er last time she came to Xingyun Pavilion. I don't know how she has been doing in the past few years."

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, combined with the previous interaction between the Little Medical Fairy and Xun'er, Cao Ying immediately understood something. Looking at Xiao Yan's expression full of doting and longing for her sister, Cao Ying couldn't help but smile. Twitched.

Well, she just thought that the little medical fairy was the worst, but she didn't expect that there was another one who was even worse.

But there is one thing to say, as Xiao Yan's childhood sweetheart, Xun'er is quite embarrassed to be regarded as his younger sister in Xiao Yan's heart, even worse than himself.

(Maybe she is too reserved. I can’t be like her.)

Cao Ying thought like this, stood up under Xiao Yan's doubtful eyes, then turned around and sat in Xiao Yan's arms, just like Zi Yan that day.

Feeling Cao Ying's close contact with her soft and delicate body and the subtle fragrance emanating from her body made Xiao Yan's expression slightly stunned, Cao Ying said with a smile.

"Just taking this opportunity, let me teach you how to modify the recipe. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

".Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Xiao Yan chuckled and nodded, and Cao Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, holding up the pill recipe and explaining the changes one by one to him.

"Look here, because Tang Huo'er's condition is much more serious than imagined, so this medicinal material needs to be replaced with the more powerful red flame grass. However, considering Tang Huo'er's physical condition at this time, another Qingxinye needs to be added. Carry out some neutralization, but not too much, otherwise it will be meaningless to replace the medicinal materials with red flame grass."

In this way, Cao Ying leaned in Xiao Yan's arms and explained the changes to the elixir in detail to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan also seriously studied the knowledge that he had no time to learn before. The relationship between the two naturally gradually heated up during this period.

In an ancient tribe, in a place of confinement, on a mountain top shrouded in clouds and mist, a woman wearing an elegant dress sits cross-legged with her eyes closed. As the light mist surrounds her, she looks like a fairy in the mist, revealing an ethereal and moving temperament.

And this woman with stunning appearance is none other than the ancient saint who was brought back a few days ago, Gu Xun'er.

Because Xun'er had previously concealed her strength and divine bloodline, the elders of the ancient clan were furious. Xun'er didn't bother to argue with them, so she went to the confinement place to put herself under house arrest. The elders were chattering in her ears all day long.

Judging from the looks of those elders, I'm afraid it won't be that easy if I want to find Xiao Yan again.

Xun'er took a deep breath of melancholy, looked up at the distant place, her eyes glowed slightly, and what came to mind were the scenes she had spent in the Xiao family, those scenes she had spent with her brothers and sisters. The good times are still unforgettable to her.

Xiao Mei, who often pesters Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning, who drags Xiao Yan to the brothel without a long memory, Xiao Yu, who is the eldest sister of the Xiao family and is in charge of her younger brothers and sisters. Xiao Yan is present in every scene.

The last time he finally met Xiao Yan, he was brought back without even saying a word.

"Brother Xiao Yan." Xun'er murmured, with sadness in her eyes, "Xun'er misses you so much"

Chapter 697 Yao Shen’s conspiracy

In Xingyun Pavilion, Yao Tianhuo was sitting in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, holding a wine jar in his hand and drinking heavily, doing nothing.

"Hey~ Tianhuo, are you drinking?"

"Well?"

Yao Tianhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he saw Yao Chen, who was dressed in white, walking slowly towards him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Isn't this boring? What else can I do besides drinking? When those Taixu ancient dragons came here before, I thought that I could have a good fight after breaking through the Dou Sage, but because of your arrangement, I killed that elder in one move. No, it’s not interesting at all.”

Yao Tianhuo curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction, and Yao Shen shrugged helplessly.

"Then you can't blame us. You can feel the situation yourself. If we really want to fight seriously, we will most likely die at the hands of Zhu Mu."

Although Zhu Mu's death was quite depressing, Yao Shen can't help but break into a cold sweat when he recalls the situation at that time. If Zhu Mu had been a little more vigilant, Yao Shen's plan would not have succeeded so easily.

To put it bluntly, Yao Shen was gambling at that time. Gambling Zhu Mu was too arrogant to pay attention to her little actions. Facts have proved that he was indeed right.

"makes sense."

Yao Tianhuo naturally understood Yao Chen's words. At this time, Yao Chen smiled slightly and said.

"But this time there are other opportunities for you to fight happily, if you don't mind the trouble."

"Oh? What chance?"

Yao Tianhuo sat upright, seeming to be interested, while Yao Shen sat down unhurriedly and spoke softly.

"Recently, someone discovered an ancient Dou Sheng relic, which happens to be not far from Burning Flame Valley. Now all forces are arranging manpower to go to the relic to find out what's going on." Yao Shen paused and looked at the cave, "Although we I also want to take a look, but it is more important to improve Ziyun's strength now, so we can't leave Xingyun Pavilion for the time being, so I would like to ask you to go to Fenyan Valley first, and wait for Xiao Yanzi and the others to finish their work and take them there with them. Take a look at the ruins.”

"Hoo? Okay, I'm worried about having nothing to do." Yao Tianhuo was in a good mood, his eyes filled with excitement, "When will we set off?"

Yao Shen waved his hand gently, "Don't worry, Feng'er is recovering her soul power these days. When she recovers, you can take her with you."

Immediately Yao Shen frowned slightly.

"I heard that there is a dragon and phoenix original fruit that is coveted by the Taixu ancient dragon and the demon phoenix clan in this battle of saints. If we can get that thing, Zi Yan's girl's strength should be improved again. By the way, Elder Zhuli originally wanted to go with him." As he said that, Yao Chen looked at Houshan helplessly, "But given Zi Yan's current situation, we alone may not be able to handle any accidents that happen. , we still need him to stay and tell the truth.”

"I understand, I just need to bring that fruit back to you, right?" Flames ignited behind Yao Tianhuo, and his eyes were full of blood, "Leave it to me, I promise to bring it back to you!"

Seeing Yao Tianhuo looking so energetic, Yao Shen nodded lightly, and then reminded him softly.

"Don't be careless. There are many forces going to the ruins this time. If you encounter an opponent that you can't fight, retreat immediately. You don't have to give up the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, but you can't get into trouble."

"Received~"

In Fenyan Valley, the scorching heat enveloped the entire valley as always, and five days had passed since Xiao Yan and Cao Ying were refining medicine in the back mountain.

During this period, Tang Zhen was restless and hesitant. He was full of worries. He didn't know what was going on in the back mountain, but he didn't dare to ask Xiao Yan. He was afraid that they were at a critical moment and if he disturbed them, all their previous efforts would be wasted. He was about to die.

However, compared to Tang Zhen's worries, Tang Huo'er had an indifferent expression. Looking at Tang Zhen walking around in front of him, he frowned in displeasure.

"Dad, can you calm down? I've been walking back and forth these past few days, and it's annoying to watch!"

Hearing his daughter's complaints, Tang Zhen looked at her with an innocent and somewhat aggrieved look on his face.

"Huo'er, it's not that dad won't stop, what if Xiao Yan doesn't succeed?"

"If you don't practice, you won't succeed. I have to give you a guarantee that you won't succeed?" Tang Huo'er interrupted Tang Zhen impatiently and curled his lips, "If I don't succeed, it means I deserve my fate. It's nothing more than accepting my fate. , what’s there to worry about?”

Tang Huoer's words were as heroic as ever, which made Gu Qinghan on the side feel a little admired.

Gu Qinghan had never seen someone who could be so open-minded about his own death, and Tang Huoer's character was one of a kind.

"It's so annoying, just seeing dad makes me upset!" Tang Huo'er scratched his fiery red hair angrily, then stood up and looked at Gu Qinghan, "Miss Qinghan, can you accompany me to the martial arts training ground to practice your skills?"

"it is good."

Gu Qinghan nodded lightly, got up and left the hall with Tang Huo'er. In the past few days, Tang Huo'er was interested in competing with Gu Qinghan, a peer of about the same age. Gu Qinghan did not refuse. Anyway, she was idle here. Just think of it as passing time.

"fire."

Seeing the two people leaving the hall one after another, Tang Zhen stretched out his hand to say something, but Tang Huo'er had already disappeared from sight, making Tang Zhen put down his hand helplessly and sighed heavily.

"This girl is really a headache."

"Hmph! Weren't you like this back then, you bastard? Now you know you have a headache?"

A cold snort reached Tang Zhen's ears, causing Tang Zhen to pause slightly. He turned around and saw an old man slowly walking in from the door. Then Tang Zhen hurriedly greeted him and asked with a stunned expression.

"Dad, why are you here? Aren't you in seclusion to recuperate?"

This old man is Tang Zhen's father, the previous Valley Master of Fenyan Valley and the ancestor of Huoyun.

Current strength, one-star Dou Saint late stage!

"Hmph! My granddaughter is already in danger, how can I still sit still with my old bones? Cough cough cough!!!"

Halfway through the words, Patriarch Huo Yun's expression changed slightly and he coughed violently while covering his chest. Tang Zhen's face was filled with eagerness and he stepped forward to help him.

"Dad! Are you okay?"

After a while, Patriarch Huo Yun's coughing slowly stopped, and his complexion improved slightly.

"It's okay, it's just an old injury." After saying that, Patriarch Huo Yun threw away the arm that Tang Zhen was supporting, "Take your hand away, your father and I are not too old to walk yet!"

Looking at his opened arms, Tang Zhen's face showed helplessness. It could be seen that the Huoyun Patriarch did not have a very good temper, and he did not have a good face towards his son.

Of course, this is just on the surface. Patriarch Huo Yun is a typical strict father. Tang Zhen's growth to this point is indispensable without the cultivation of Patriarch Huo Yun.

Patriarch Huoyun crossed Tang Zhen, came to the main seat, sat down slowly, and asked in a deep voice.

"I heard from the three elders that you found an alchemist for Huo'er?"

"Yes, I wrote a letter to the Medicine Saint of Xingyun Pavilion before, but the other party did not reply. A few days ago, I went to Xingyun Pavilion in person to invite him."

Tang Zhen answered respectfully, and Patriarch Huoyun nodded and looked towards the back mountain.

"So, the one refining medicine in the back mountain is the Medicine Saint?" As soon as the Fire Cloud Patriarch finished speaking, he sensed it slightly and frowned, "This doesn't make sense. Aren't the two in the back mountain just Dou Zun?"
