Chapter 17 - Chapter 288 After Xiao Xuan's Death, Everyone Possesses Xiao Xuan's Courage

  In the dark and deep spatial wormhole, a streak of silver light flashed past, traversing this silent and profound void.

  Little Fairy Doctor stood in the control room of the spaceship, her jade hand resting on a crystal ball, controlling the entire spaceship's flight.

  Unlike those rather rudimentary spaceships, the spaceship she was piloting was a medium-sized one, with an independent control room and luxuriously decorated cabins. It was several times better than those small spaceships that could only be controlled from the bow, and of course... the price was also several times higher.

  Little Fairy Doctor's red lips were slightly pursed, and her snow-white hair gently swayed. Her appearance was not as perfect and alluring as Medusa's, but it exuded a gentle and refreshing charm.

  After the Calamity Poison Body took control, the indifferent coldness and sharpness between her brows quietly faded away, returning to the intoxicating gentleness she once possessed.

  "Ah... what are you doing?" Little Fairy Doctor suddenly trembled and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  Behind her, Lü Lu chuckled, wrapping his arms around her slender, boneless waist.

  "This spaceship is quite large; I was afraid you'd get tired, so I'll control it with you." Lü Lu felt the delicate, willow-like waist in his hands, his eyes narrowing slightly; the feel was wonderful.

  As he spoke, Lü Lu raised his arm and gently placed it on the back of Little Fairy Doctor's hand on the crystal ball…

  A faint blush appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's fair face. She didn't expose the lecherous man's little scheme behind her, letting him hug and cuddle her.

  Anyway, it was just a hug; nothing more, it wouldn't go any further, it was fine.

  "Where in the Northern Region of Central Continent… are we going?" Little Fairy Doctor's voice trembled slightly, her heart filled with shyness, causing her to lose her usual composure, her steps faltering slightly.

  "To the Yi Snake Mountains," Lü Lu said softly, raising an eyebrow.

  This won't do; Little Fairy Doctor is so shy, how am I supposed to sleep with her in the future?

  No, I have to help her a few more times!

  Thinking this, Lü Qiu buried his face in Little Fairy Doctor's soft, white hair, the delicate fragrance filling his nostrils.

  "The Yi Snake Mountains... what kind of place is that?" The blush that had faded slightly on Little Fairy Doctor's face returned. Lü Qiu's affectionate actions made her very happy, but also incredibly shy.

  Although she and Lü Qiu had already established a relationship, this intimacy was a first.

  Back in the Northwest Continent, she and Lü Qiu had only been together for a few months before being separated for a year because of the Soul Palace. Thinking about it now, she still felt a surge of resentment.

  Damn the Soul Palace!

  "There's a She family in the Yi Snake Mountains, quite powerful, with an ancestor at the Dou Zun realm who possesses a seven-colored primordial stone," Lü Lu explained. "I want to ask them how they obtained this seven-colored primordial stone."

  "Although this family's strength is average, their background is considerable. It's said they have some connection to the Crimson Viper clan of the Beast Domain. Perhaps we should investigate further."

  This information came from the Pill Tower. Lü Lu was interested in the seven-colored primordial stone, but even more interested in its origin.

  However, seven-colored primordial stones are not easy to trade. These are rare stones that only have a certain chance of being born after the death of a Seven-Colored Devouring Python, and they hold a fatal allure for snake-like magical beasts.

  In the original novel, Xiao Yan spent two Grade 8 Three-Colored Pill Lightning pills to exchange for a single seven-colored primordial stone at the Space Trading Fair.

  While the deliberate price gouging by everyone at the Space Trading Fair played a part, the sheer high price of this item cannot be denied.

  "I see..." Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly. She knew this trip was to help Medusa find the Seven-Colored Origin Stone, but she had only just learned about the power struggles behind it.

  "What level of strength does the strongest member of this family possess?" Little Fairy Doctor asked softly.

  "Two-Star Dou Zun," Lü Qiu replied. Speaking of which... the location of the Yi Snake Mountain Range is within the territory of the Starfall Pavilion. She wondered what the relationship was between the two sides.

  "Two-Star Dou Zun?" Little Fairy Doctor was slightly taken aback. That wasn't very strong. The

  Jie Li Pill that Lü Qiu had refined for her was ready. As long as she took it at the right time, she could advance to Two-Star Dou Zun, but... she didn't plan to do that.

  She could break through to Two-Star Dou Zun in a few days; it was better to save it for breaking through to Three-Star Dou Zun.

  "Hmm? Lü Qiu, there seems to be a somewhat familiar aura ahead?" Little Fairy Doctor suddenly exclaimed softly, somewhat surprised.

  "Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Lü Qiu raised an eyebrow and looked closely, only to find two figures standing inside the spaceship ahead: a young man in black robes and an old man in red robes.

  "Ah... Xiao Yan?"

  A strange look appeared on Lü Qiu's face, and he chuckled. He actually encountered this kid here?

  "Let's go, let's follow him and see!" Lü Qiu chuckled.

  Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, her Dou Qi surging on her jade hands, maneuvering her spaceship to stay far behind the spaceship ahead.

  ...

  Inside the spaceship, Xiao Yan and Elder Crimson Flame Ancient Fire stood side by side at the bow.

  "So Mr. Lü Qiu has this kind of relationship with the Starfall Pavilion." Elder Crimson Flame Ancient Fire was slightly surprised. It seemed that his Burning Flame Valley had no hope of recruiting this alchemy genius.

  This Lü Qiu in front of him was only twenty years old and had already achieved the realm of a seventh-grade alchemist. If he were allowed to grow, it was possible that he would reach the eighth or even ninth grade in the future.

  Unfortunately, Burning Flame Valley was destined to be forever separated from him, unless Miss Huo'er could marry him...

  A strange thought popped into Elder Chi Huo's mind, strange yet reasonable!

  "It's just a legacy from my master..." Xiao Yan bowed slightly and said.

  Lin Yan watched their conversation, his lips twitching. Had Xiao Yan become addicted to playing Lü Qiu?

  "The Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame..." Elder Chi Huo hesitated slightly before speaking.

  "Elder Chi Huo, please rest assured, I, Lü Qiu, am not one to easily break my word," Xiao Yan smiled. "Since I've already promised not to pass on the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame, it's naturally impossible for me to."

  "I trust Mr. Lü Qiu!" Elder Chi Huo bowed slightly and said. The other party had even revealed the origins of his inheritance and the sect behind him; his sincerity was undeniable.

  As the two spoke, a huge silver halo appeared in their sight.

  "Ahem... Gentlemen, we're leaving the spatial wormhole!" Lin Yan coughed lightly as he controlled the crystal ball at the bow of the ship.

  "I've already contacted Senior Venerable Feng and Elder Crimson Flame. How about we visit the Starfall Pavilion?" Xiao Yan smiled and extended a warm invitation. It just so happens that Lin Yan is also going to the Starfall Pavilion to cultivate.

  As fellow fire-attribute Dou Qi practitioners, Elder Crimson Flame could offer Lin Yan some guidance.

  "This…hehe, then I humbly accept your offer," Elder Crimson Flame chuckled. It would be a good opportunity to get acquainted with the Starfall Pavilion and see what kind of person this Venerable Feng was.

  He had certainly heard of the Starfall Pavilion and Venerable Feng, but their interactions were practically nonexistent. This opportunity might be a good chance to meet them, and if it could establish a connection between Burning Flame Valley and the Starfall Pavilion… that would be perfect.

  As they chatted, the spaceship trembled slightly, slowly leaving the deep, boundless spatial wormhole.

  "Finally, we're almost at the Starfall Pavilion…" Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stretched.

  Once inside, he would immediately begin refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to improve his strength and cultivation techniques.

  "Hopefully, this time I can make significant progress…" Xiao Yan murmured, his eyes flashing. He needed strength, he needed power. The Bone Spirit Cold Flame was ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame Ranking, which should allow him to advance five or six stars in strength.

  This way, he could accumulate strength more quickly to find and rescue his teacher.

  "Hmm?"   

Image

  Suddenly, he looked up, his expression filled with suspicion and uncertainty, glancing around.

  He seemed to sense a strange, sharp, and sinister gaze!

  "Something's up?" Elder Chi Huo's expression hardened slightly. Crimson flames surged within his palm, the surrounding space slowly distorting, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

  Seven-Star Dou Zong!

  Xiao Yan glanced sideways, a sigh of relief in his heart. Wu Chen, the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley, was an eight-star Dou Zong, while this Elder Chi Huo was only seven-star.

  Very good. This level of strength was sufficient as long as he didn't encounter a Dou Zun-level old monster. Combined with his own strange fire fusion attack, it was enough to protect himself.

  "Hehehe... As expected of a seventh-grade alchemist, your senses are indeed incredibly sharp!"

  Just as Xiao Yan's heart eased slightly, a sharp, eerie laugh echoed in the sky.

  "Soul Palace?!" Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he blurted out instinctively. That kind of laughter could only belong to Lü Bu or the Soul Palace!

  "Soul Palace!?" Elder Chi Huo's expression changed drastically, and he roared as a crimson streak shot out from his body.

  Boom!

  A deafening roar erupted, and the sky, empty and formless, was blocked by an incredibly solid barrier.

  "Spatial Barrier!" Elder Chi Huo's face was extremely gloomy. The Soul Palace had really gone all out, actually sending out a Dou Zun expert.

  "Dou Zun!" Xiao Yan clenched his fists, purple-brown flames surging, veins bulging on his forehead. The Soul Palace had actually sent another Dou Zun!

  "Hehehe... You reacted quite quickly. As expected of a descendant of Xiao Xuan, you have three-tenths of Xiao Xuan's former brilliance." As the strange laughter subsided, a vast expanse of black mist spread out from the void, and an old man in a yellow robe with blue hair slowly walked out, followed by two strange, pitch-black clouds.

  The moment he appeared, space trembled, the energy of heaven and earth surged, and an immense, boundless pressure, like a mountain crashing down, pressed down on Xiao Yan, Lin Yan, and Elder Chi Huo.

  Instantly, the three men's faces flushed red, their blood rushed to their heads, and their Dou Qi circulated wildly within them, resisting this terrifying, mountain-like pressure.

  "Hehehe... I, Qing Hai, am a Dou Zun of the Soul Hall. Today, I am ordered to capture you!" The yellow-robed elder sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, black mist condensed into a giant hand that slammed out.

  "Xiao Yan, come with me!"

  In an instant, a gale howled, as if the sky were collapsing, and boundless force shook the space, threatening to crush Xiao Yan and the other two along with the space itself.

  "Roar—!"

  Just then, Xiao Yan's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly roared. Crimson, deep blue, and eerie white flames erupted in succession, one after another shooting into the sky from his body.

  The next moment, Xiao Yan's aura surged like a rocket, instantly reaching the eight-star Dou Zong realm.

  Boom!

  A deafening roar erupted as three flames swirled and merged, forming a powerful purple firestorm.

  In an instant, Xiao Yan broke free from the oppressive aura of his opponent, grabbing Chi Huo and Lin Yan's shoulders and retreating rapidly.

  Boom!

  The black mist hand slammed heavily against the spatial barrier, a deafening explosion resounding, the entire space trembling violently.

  "Eh?"

  Outside, a hint of surprise appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face. Xiao Yan could actually unleash such terrifying power in an instant?

  "Heavenly Flame Three Transformations, a secret technique that uses special flames to enhance strength." Lü Qiu nodded slightly. Xiao Yan was quite capable; he had thought he would need to intervene.

  "This… can Yun Yun cultivate this secret technique?" Little Fairy Doctor's eyes flickered, posing a question she hadn't considered.

  "Hmm?" Lü Qiu's eyes narrowed. This… seems possible?

  He also cultivated the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations. When using the secret technique, flames surged throughout his body, and as the technique circulated, the energy transformed into surging, pure energy. The battle qi, in turn, was transformed into his own wielding battle qi for combat.

  This process sounds lengthy, but for those who had dedicated their lives to mastering battle qi, it was merely a matter of a thought.

  Therefore, theoretically speaking, Yun Yun cultivating the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations… wouldn't be a problem?

  Lü Yu's eyes brightened slightly. He could give it a try, taking it slowly. If successful, it would be a huge boost to Yun Yun's combat power.

  The Heavenly Fire Three Transformations offered significant improvement even up to the Dou Zun realm, its effects were undeniable.

  "Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on the old face of Venerable Qinghai of the Soul Palace, then he sneered, "Heh... good lad, you're quite capable. That's a strange fire on you, isn't it?" "

  You actually have three kinds, not bad, not bad!"

  "Xiao Xuan also had three kinds of strange fire back then, but unfortunately, he still died at the hands of my Soul Clan."

  "Hmph... what are you so proud of? You're a member of the Soul Clan? You participated in the battle against him?" Xiao Yan was panting, but he sneered and mocked,

  "You, a mere two-star Dou Zun, dare to mention Xiao Xuan? One look from him could turn you into dust, what makes you think you're so great?"

  Perhaps because he had known Lü Qiu for a long time, Xiao Yan had not only broadened his horizons but also become more sarcastic.

  As soon as he said this, before the two people beside him could even be shocked, Venerable Qinghai's face darkened, and a monstrous killing intent surged like a tsunami.

  "I was originally planning to keep your body to torture you properly, but now..." Venerable Qinghai's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a black chain shot out with a clang.

  Like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, it aimed straight for Xiao Yan's throat!

  "Hehehe... Boy, you think too highly of Xiao Xuan. Which member of my Soul Clan is inferior to Xiao Xuan? Which one doesn't possess Xiao Xuan's unparalleled courage?"

  Venerable Qinghai sneered, his old face contorted with rage.

  "Stop! He is a distinguished guest of my Burning Flame Valley. Do you want to start a war with my Burning Flame Valley?" Crimson Fire Battle Qi surged, unleashing streaks of crimson Battle Qi one after another, accompanied by a series of shouts.

  However, like an ant trying to shake a tree, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it was all in vain. He could only watch helplessly as the chain pierced towards Mr. Lü's throat.

  "Damn it..." Xiao Yan's face turned ashen, his teeth clenched. Was he really going to die this time?

  "Tsk tsk... After Xiao Xuan's death, every member of the Soul Clan is no weaker than him, and every one of them possesses courage comparable to Xiao Xuan..." Just then, a mocking voice slowly rang out.

  The next moment, the black chains that had shot out were broken into pieces, turning into eerie black mist and dissipating.

  "Who?" Venerable Qinghai shouted angrily, "How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Soul Palace? Are you courting death?"

  Before his words had even finished, space twisted and spun, and two figures slowly emerged: a young man in black and a woman with a white veil covering her face.

  The spatial barrier set up by Venerable Qinghai had no effect in hindering them.

  "Who are you?" Venerable Qinghai shouted angrily, his violent aura roaring and rising like a pillar.

  "Hehehe... I never change my name or surname, I am Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan!" Lü Qiu laughed strangely and shouted.

  Xiao Yan: "..."

  I knew it! Besides the Soul Palace, only Lü Qiu has that voice!
