NOVEL WEB Chapter 38: Xiao Yan Changes His Surname to Tang
Shi Jian: "Is everyone's Cultivation going smoothly recently?" Shi Jian spoke in the group.
Xiao Yan: "It's awesome! I consecutively absorbed the Green Lotus Core Flame and my teacher's Bone Chilling Flame. Now my Cultivation has Broken Through to the Dou Ling Realm, and it won't be long before I can Break Through to Dou Wang!"
Xiao Yan: "In a few days, I'll go to the Jia Nan Academy to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame, and then I can become a Dou Huang. When the Three-Year Agreement arrives, I feel like I can even become a Dou Zong!"
Xiao Yan was the first to speak. At this moment, he was full of confidence. He felt that he was inferior to the other people in the group in many aspects. The only thing he could show off was his Cultivation speed. In the original work, he became a Dou Di when he was only in his thirties. Now that he knew his life script, his strength improvement speed would only be faster! Once his strength became stronger, if anyone in the group encountered trouble, he could help.
Shi Jian: "Your Cultivation speed is faster than a rocket! I've only Broken Through one major Realm, and you've already Broken Through several major Realms!" Shi Jian exclaimed; in the original work, Xiao Yan seemed to be only at the Dou Shi Realm at this time, right? Now he had directly become a Dou Ling. If he was ambitious enough, then it would be Dou Di Xiao Yan coming to fulfill the Three-Year Agreement.
Xiao Yan: "Just luck!" Xiao Yan said modestly. He believed that this was all thanks to the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi. This Cultivation Technique was too amazing; it could directly tame those abnormal flames obediently. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Bone Chilling Flame so easily.
Without the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, even if he could obtain these two abnormal flames, it would be difficult for him to refine them. Whether subduing abnormal flames was dangerous or not was one thing; just the preparations needed would require Xiao Yan to expend a great deal of effort. He might not even be able to prepare the items for subduing the abnormal flames in a few months. So it wasn't that he was amazing, but that the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi was amazing.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan spoke in the group again:
Xiao Yan: "I owe my great progress to Fang Han's Great Five Elements Technique!"
Fang Han: "It's good as long as I can help everyone, no need to be polite!" Fang Han's Cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds during this period. Now he possessed the power of two thousand rushing fiery horses, which was incredibly powerful. What made him even more comfortable was that he had obtained a Treasure Artifact Pill Furnace from the Master of Death Island through his foresight, which made Yan extremely happy.
In the world of Eternal Life, what is most important for a Cultivator? It is neither a Flying Sword nor a Treasure Robe, nor various Magical Treasures. It is the Pill Furnace! Medicinal Pills in the Eternal Life world basically had no side effects. Therefore, Cultivators who wanted stronger power needed to consume pure Medicinal Pills. Only Medicinal Pills could supplement the vast energy and nutrients required by Cultivators. Medicinal Pills were like food to them. And Alchemy required a good Pill Furnace. A good Pill Furnace, for a Cultivator, was like fertile land to a farmer.
Moreover, Pill Furnaces in the Eternal Life world could not only produce Medicinal Pills but also refine Flying Swords and temper the Physical Body's Magic Power. Some Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques also required Cultivation within a Pill Furnace.
Although Fang Han also had a Pill Furnace, his Pill Furnace was of ordinary quality. The Medicinal Pills he consumed were sustained by Yan's Alchemy technique. However, as the saying goes, if one wishes to do good, one must first sharpen one's tools. Even if Yan had extraordinary Alchemy abilities, without a good Pill Furnace, the quality of the Medicinal Pills he could refine would be limited. Now that he had suddenly obtained a Treasure Artifact Pill Furnace, Yan could play a greater role. Fang Han's strength could also advance by leaps and bounds again. The gloom brought by Hua Tian Du also dissipated somewhat.
He was in a great mood and was currently using the Pill Furnace to re-refine Ashura. While refining Ashura, he responded to the messages in the group. Nothing major had happened in the group during this time, but everyone often chatted there. Everyone not only became familiar with each other but also gained an understanding of each other's situations. Fang Han also knew about Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement.
He was also very curious about what kind of expression that person named Nalan Yanran would have when she saw Xiao Yan come to fulfill the Three-Year Agreement. Judging by Xiao Yan's current Cultivation progress, he might be able to wipe out Nalan Yanran's entire sect with one slap by then, no?
No wonder Shi Jian said they were all characters from storybooks. Leaving others aside, Xiao Yan's life alone was very exciting. First, he was divorced, then he encountered the remnant soul of a peerless strong person and began to rise, and then there was the Three-Year Agreement… He even looked forward to the day of Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement through the chat group… If this were written into a storybook, wouldn't it sell like hotcakes?
Fang Han thought about getting along well with Xiao Yan, and when Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement came, he would also go to join in the fun. To see what kind of expression Nalan Yanran would have when she saw Xiao Yan's Cultivation…
Fang Han: "My Cultivation here is also going quite smoothly. I just obtained a Pill Furnace called the Five Prisons King Cauldron. After I refine the first batch of Medicinal Pills, I'll send everyone a red packet!" After exchanging a few words with Xiao Yan, Fang Han also mentioned his recent Cultivation status.
Xiao Yan felt a great sense of unease after hearing Fang Han's words. Fang Han could actually do Alchemy too? He had previously seen Fang Han take out the Great Five Elements Technique and thought Fang Han was just a Prodigy in Cultivation! But he didn't know that Fang Han could also do Alchemy.
When they chatted before, Xiao Yan also knew that Fang Han had a remnant soul beside him. His Great Five Elements Technique was obtained from that remnant soul. Xiao Yan thought that a remnant soul that could produce such an amazing Cultivation Technique should be a combat-type remnant soul, a big shot. And not a support-type remnant soul like Yao Lao. Who knew that Fang Han could also do Alchemy, and his Alchemy technique should also be learned from that remnant soul.
Xiao Yan instantly felt like the sky had fallen. My title as the number one Alchemist in the group has been snatched!!!
Xiao Yan: "Is that remnant soul on you named 'Yan' also an Alchemist like Yao Lao?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
After thinking carefully, Fang Han spoke in the group.
Fang Han: "Yan is an Alchemist, right? In my world, almost everyone is an Alchemist, and the Pill Furnace is the king among Magical Treasures. A person's worth is mainly judged by their Pill Furnace; the better the Pill Furnace, the deeper the Cultivation!"
This was the truth. Leaving aside everything else, among the True Disciples of the Feathered Sect, those with higher strength were precisely because they had accidentally obtained Treasure Artifact-level Pill Furnaces, which allowed their Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, surpassing other True Disciples. And why was Hua Tian Du so amazing? His Pill Furnace was precisely the Dao Artifact of Immortal Venerable Pan Wu, of incredibly high grade, which was why Hua Tian Du's Magic Power was so high.
Among various Magical Artifacts, the Pill Furnace was also the most difficult to refine. Other Magical Artifacts at most had one or two large formations, but a good Pill Furnace could use dozens of large formations. That's why Fang Han was so happy after obtaining a good Pill Furnace.
Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. Everyone knows a bit of Alchemy, everyone is an Alchemist? Then wouldn't he be completely useless in this group? Lin Dong's Stone Talisman could refine Spirit Medicine, but the Spirit Medicine it refined was relatively singular. It couldn't refine some special Medicinal Pills.
Therefore, Xiao Yan had previously felt that his Alchemy technique would definitely shine in the group. Now he felt like the sky had fallen. Fang Han was also an Alchemist. And his world's level was much higher than his own world's level. This also meant that his Alchemy technique was far superior to his own Alchemy technique!
How could he play like this? Why was it so difficult to contribute to the group? Could it be that I, Xiao Yan, can only freeload from others? From now on, should I change my surname to Tang?
