"Jia Xingtian, what is it this time that has woken me up? I've already told you—I'm in a much worse condition now and can hardly do anything to help..." As soon as the giant creature appeared, a slightly impatient thunderous voice resonated across the lake. Standing upon the lake, Jia Xingtian smiled warmly at the Youhai Jiao Sheng, saying, "Old fellow, I'm not here to bother you. Look—what do you see?" With a wave of his hand, the "Hun Yuan Plastering Bone Pill" burst from its jade vial and floated before him, glowing with a soft, delicate luminescence. As soon as the pill appeared, a rich, medicinal fragrance filled the air above the lake. Smelling this fragrance, the Youhai Jiao Sheng was momentarily startled, then his voice grew louder, filled with an unmistakable surge of joy: "The Hun Yuan Plastering Bone Pill? Finally, you've obtained it!" "Jia Xingtian smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan by the shore, saying, 'Xiao Yan, I'll now fully rely on you...' Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his shoulders trembling as a pair of emerald flame wings emerged from behind him. The wings vibrated gently, carrying him through the air, and finally settled above the massive head of the Yuhai Jiang Sheng. 'Who are you?' the enormous eyes fixed upon the small figure before it, and the mist drifting over the creature's body suddenly diminished significantly. A moment later, it suddenly roared, 'Young man! Your fire-based aura is too strong—step back!' "Looking at the rather impressive sea-abyssic dragon beast, everyone was momentarily stunned. Soon, Xiao Yan regained his composure and glanced at the emerald fire wings behind him, slightly enlightened. This large creature was a water-type beast, naturally deeply wary of the unique fire energy—especially since his own internal fire was a fusion of two distinct flames, making it even more potent. It was no wonder it reacted so dramatically. As the sea-abyssic dragon beast grew increasingly anxious, two gusts of wind sounded from below, and Jia Xingtian and the curious little Ziyan swiftly ascended, finally hovering beside Xiao Yan. "Don't worry, old fellow," Jia Xingtian chuckled. "Xiao Yan is a master alchemist, naturally radiating a strong fire essence. This Huaren Shu Gu Dan was indeed crafted by him. However, to fully catalyze its medicinal power, a few precise techniques are still required. So, just bear with it for now." Hearing Jia Xingtan's words, the Yuhai Jiang creature finally grew a little more composed, yet still dared not draw too close to Xiao Yan. Now it was in a very poor condition, and the fiery aura emanating from Xiao Yan was far beyond ordinary fire-based combat energy. A single misstep, and he might very well lose his life right here. "Such a large creature, I never expected such timid behavior," Purple Yan remarked, chuckling at the visibly hesitant Jiang beast. "Little girl, are you trying to die?" Though wary of Xiao Yan, the Yuhai Jiang creature had no fear at all toward such a small figure as Purple Yan, and given its naturally boisterous temperament, it roared in anger. "You, great lump, dare to intimidate me? Then you're the one who's trying to die!" Shaken by the thunderous rumble of the roar, Purple Yan raised her slender hand and planted it firmly against her waist, shouting fiercely. As her voice fell, a subtle purple glow began to radiate around her gem-like eyes. The immense eyes of the Yuhai Dragon Beast fixed upon Ziyan, glaring with fury. Just as it prepared to unleash a thunderous roar, it suddenly noticed the strange violet glow flickering within her eyes. Instantly, a peculiar pressure surged from the depths of its soul, spreading outward without warning. At the very moment this pressure reached its peak, the colossal body of the Yuhai Dragon Beast seemed to be weighed down by an unseen force, suddenly sinking inward. Though his body had settled momentarily, this had stirred profound waves of astonishment and awe within the great eyes of the yu-hai dragon beast. With his own strength, he could clearly perceive that Zi Yan was only at the Duke level—yet the overwhelming pressure he had felt earlier had indeed emanated from her. Generally, beasts sensed such pressure for only two reasons: a vast disparity in strength, or a bloodline affinity. The first reason could be ruled out, as Zi Yan's strength, though commendable, still fell short of the yu-hai dragon beast's. Thus, only the second explanation remained—namely, that Zi Yan's bloodline exerted a natural suppressive influence over the yu-hai dragon beast, much like a superior exerts pressure upon a subordinate. "This young girl is also a beast? One whose very presence compels me to feel both pressure and fear—what is her true form?" Could it be inherited from an ancient bloodline? The giant eyes of You Hai Jiao Shou were wide with astonishment as they fixed upon Zi Yan. After a long while, the You Hai Jiao Shou suddenly emitted a deep, resonant roar—upon close listening, one could detect a subtle sense of compliance within the tone. Naturally, the subtle shifts in the Jiao Shou's roar were impossible to overlook for Jia Xing Tian, who was deeply familiar with the creature. Though his expression remained largely unchanged, his inner composure was profoundly stirred. He subtly glanced toward Zi Yan, who stood beside Xiao Yan, feeling genuinely amazed. The You Hai Jiao Shou, indeed, was a rare and powerful beast—otherwise, it would have been difficult to reach the sixth rank. Yet even he, so well-acquainted with the creature, was so deeply intimidated by this young girl. What could she possibly be? Seeing the Jiao Shou yield, Zi Yan straightened her delicate nose, gave Xiao Yan a sly look, and then proudly hummed with satisfaction. Xiao Yan smiled and gently rubbed the top of Zi Yan's head. After witnessing the earlier scene, he had grown increasingly curious about Zi Yan's true form—truly wondering what kind of extraordinary beast could instill such profound fear even in the mighty Youhai Jiao Shou. The elixir was enveloped in flames. After a moment, Xiao Yan altered his hand seal, and the emerald flames suddenly expanded dramatically. Under the intense heat, a rich, vibrant blue light surged forth from within, eventually spreading like a water curtain to fully encase the massive body of the Yuhai Jiang Sheng beneath. The deep, resonant roar of the creature lasted nearly ten minutes before gradually fading. At that moment, Jia Xingtian was delighted to observe that the various wounds scattered across the body of the Youhai Jiao Shou were slowly beginning to heal—clearly, the unusual azure light was having a profound effect. Under the gentle flow of that azure glow, not only were the surface injuries on the creature's body healing, but even its previously weak vitality was steadily rising. As Jia Xingtian felt the strength emanating from the Youhai Jiao Shou growing stronger and stronger, his expression of joy deepened. The Youhai Jiao Shou, having fought extensively for the royal family in its early years, had accumulated numerous injuries. Yet now, under the influence of the Hun Yuan Shu Gu Dan, it was gradually recovering and returning to its peak condition—a truly auspicious development for the royal family. A shimmering azure light poured down from the heavens, lasting for approximately one hour. During this time, the Huányuán Shùgǔ Dan, originally glowing with emerald flame, shrank several times in volume—clearly, most of its medicinal essence had been vaporized. The azure light then continued for another half-hour, gradually fading in intensity and narrowing its coverage. Finally, after a deep, resonant hum, the Huányuán Shùgǔ Dan was completely transformed into a pile of ashes, and the light fully dissipated. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan. Should you ever need any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to come to me—I will do my very best to assist you to the fullest of my ability," said Jia Xingtan, who immediately became excited upon hearing this.
