Could it be that Dou Huang strong practitioners are all this low-key? Xiao Yu couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Yan beside her.
If she hadn't personally seen him actively display his strength, who would have thought that such a handsome young man was already a Dou Huang level strong practitioner!
Ruolin Mentor and Xue Ni also had similar feelings to Xiao Yu. Do Dou Huang strong practitioners in the Jia Ma Empire all have this habit of disguise?
Although his strength was sealed, a Dou Ling level strong practitioner was quite formidable; he shouldn't be so disheveled.
With the seal about to be lifted, Hai Bodong completely ignored the strange looks of the few people.
Ever since he left that 'Ancient Map' shop, he had been constantly on the move, so his appearance was naturally a bit "rough."
"Little fellow, please invite your mentor out," Hai Bodong said, barely concealing his excitement.
"With a Six-Grade Alchemist present, I believe finding that Sand Mandrake medicinal ingredient in the Tagor Desert, which is rich in fire attributes, shouldn't be difficult. At that time, I will give you additional compensation.
Moreover, freshly picked Sand Mandrake Snake will have better medicinal effects, and then the pill to break the seal can be refined for me as soon as possible."
The seal on his body had been there for many years, and now it was finally about to be lifted. Hai Bodong could not hide the joy on his face.
Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. He actually had a Six-Grade Alchemist as a mentor!!!
Xiao Yan's talent was already outstanding, probably one in ten thousand on the entire Dou Qi Continent. With such a mentor to guide him, no wonder his strength in the Xiao family also improved by leaps and bounds.
However, how did such a high-level alchemist meet Xiao Yan? Yun Yun's beautiful eyes showed confusion.
Xiao Yu was stunned, then recalled something from a few years ago, and playfully patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.
"No wonder you were able to give me a Qi Gathering Powder back then; it turns out you found such a mentor!"
"Since you ate his pill and he saw you bathing, why haven't you become his wife yet!" Xue Ni teased.
Xiao Yu's ears immediately flushed crimson, "You wicked girl, I'm going to tear your mouth apart."
Ruolin Mentor looked at Xiao Yan with envy. Even in the Black Corner Region, there were only one or two Six-Grade Alchemists. He was actually able to be taken as a disciple by a Six-Grade Alchemist!
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, "Elder Hai, I think you're mistaken. I never said my mentor was a Six-Grade Alchemist."
Although Yao Lao's strength hadn't entered the Dou Sheng level, in terms of alchemy, he was definitely in the top tier on the continent.
"Hmm?" Hai Bodong frowned in confusion.
To break his seal, a Six-Grade Alchemist with a Heavenly Flame was required to refine that special pill.
Hai Bodong smiled and said, "A helper found by your mentor is also acceptable."
"There's no need for that much trouble. It's just a Six-Grade Pill; I can refine it for you," Xiao Yan said calmly, as if stating something incredibly insignificant.
"Anyone will do," Hai Bodong subconsciously echoed, then his eyes widened slightly, looking at Xiao Yan incredulously, "What?"
"You are a Six-Grade Alchemist?!" Hai Bodong was astonished!
When he came, he already knew Xiao Yan's strength.
At an age of less than sixteen, this was almost unheard of for someone like him, who only reached that level after turning fifty.
Unexpectedly, this little fellow had not only cultivated his Dou Qi to the Dou Huang level but also raised his alchemy to the Six-Grade level.
One should know that the path of alchemy was much more difficult than cultivating Dou Qi.
Even Gu He, the famous Pill King and Six-Grade Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire, was already around forty when he advanced to a Six-Grade Alchemist.
And Xiao Yan was only less than sixteen now!
Just a simple age comparison showed a vast difference between the two.
Not only that, Xiao Yan, who had already reached Dou Huang strength, was several times stronger than Gu He, who only had Dou Wang strength.
Compared to Xiao Yan, the renowned Pill King Gu He, whose fame resonated throughout the Jia Ma Empire, was practically nothing.
Hai Bodong thought silently to himself, that his transaction with Xiao Yan back then was indeed the right decision.
"My pill requires an alchemist with a Heavenly Flame to refine it. Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan already has one..." Hai Bodong said with great surprise.
He remembered that he had given Xiao Yan a map that indicated the possible existence of a Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Desert.
With Xiao Yan's potential and talent, what might be a life-and-death experience for an ordinary alchemist could be a great cultivation supplement for him.
Ruolin Mentor's soft, watery eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan. A Six-Grade Alchemist with a Heavenly Flame was a rarity; there was only one such person in the entire Black Corner Region.
Due to her sect having cultivated a Six-Grade Alchemist, Yun Yun knew quite a bit about alchemy.
There was a world of difference between an alchemist with a Heavenly Flame and one without.
It was like two Dou Huang strong practitioners: the former mastered a Heaven-Grade Dou Skill, while the latter only mastered a Profound-Grade Dou Skill, which created a huge disparity between the two.
Xiao Yan let out a surprised "eh," and looked at Hai Bodong in confusion, "Elder Hai, could it be you've forgotten? I've had a Heavenly Flame for a long time now."
Hai Bodong frowned in thought, then suddenly slapped his forehead, recalling how formidable Xiao Yan was that day, being held in a large hand, unable to escape no matter what.
"It's just that you, little fellow, have too many halos around you; I actually forgot about that matter," Hai Bodong still felt like he was dreaming.
A Dou Huang and Six-Grade Alchemist under sixteen years old. In comparison, obtaining a miraculous item like a Heavenly Flame early on seemed less dazzling.
Xun'er pursed her jade lips, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration for Xiao Yan.
Brother Xiao Yan is always so amazing!
To achieve these accomplishments at this age, even she, the young miss of the ancient clan, was far from being able to compare.
To cultivate to the Dou Huang level, she had poured all her energy into cultivation.
Even if she had the physique to become an alchemist, she wouldn't have had the extra mental capacity, and her achievements would be far from Xiao Yan's.
Of course, she was currently only at the Dou Huang level, which was somewhat related to her Dou Di bloodline not being fully awakened yet.
However, if they were to rely on the Dou Di bloodline, the legacy of the ancient clan's Dou Di, there would be no need for the two to compare.
Xue Ni and Xiao Yu were completely stunned in place at this moment, not expecting Xiao Yan to have not only cultivated to the Dou Huang level in Dou Qi but also be a rare Six-Grade Alchemist!
"Elder Hai, please give me the prescription. I've only heard of prescriptions that can break seals; I've never seen one," Xiao Yan said, reaching out his hand.
