When Xiao Yan gradually regained consciousness, he was suddenly struck by the fact that he had already been lying on a soft bed, the entire room still drifting with a gentle, subtle fragrance. Slowly opening his eyes, they first paused slightly, then gradually began to glow with renewed vitality. After lying still for a while, Xiao Yan took a moment to examine his inner state and found nothing amiss. The spiritual energy that had previously dwindled due to the preparation of the Huo Pu Dan had now recovered significantly, and the lingering sense of weakness and fatigue had vanished entirely. "This is...?" Feeling these changes, Xiao Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He then sat up straight on the bed, glanced curiously at the empty room, and instinctively reached out to touch the naga ring on his fingers. When he confirmed that nothing was missing, he finally exhaled deeply, relieved. "You've been unconscious for five days." As Xiao Yan exhaled in relief, a familiar voice suddenly echoed within his mind—none other than the Tianhuo Sovereign, who had been silent for a long time. Glancing at the white naga ring on his finger, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, "Master Yao, it's been a while! I must say, you're in great shape." "Rather satisfactory, actually. Thanks to the blessings of your Dayan Blood Pool, my soul has been nurtured there for some time, gaining considerable benefits. Since you've consistently had Supreme Battle Sovereigns surrounding you, I've remained inactive." The voice of the Tianhuo Sovereign followed promptly in Xiao Yan's mind. Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised and asked, "So now, have you recovered to the level of Supreme Battle Sovereign?" "How easy that is! You really think a Supreme Battle Sovereign can recover that easily, huh?" Hearing this, Tianhuo Sovereign sighed impatiently, saying, "If I can't find a suitable body, I might never regain my Supreme Battle Sovereign status." Xiao Yan chuckled. With Yao Lao's capabilities, it was difficult to truly reach Supreme Battle Sovereign level without a physical form—so clearly, a body plays a significant role in advancing one's strength. "Master Yao, don't worry. I'll make sure to arrange your physical body as soon as possible." Now that they have entered the central region of this continent, the strength of the powerful figures that Xiao Yan faces is becoming increasingly formidable. Though Xiao Yan has now reached the stage of Douzong, this alone is still insufficient to allow him to move freely and unimpeded throughout the Zhongyi region. In this core area, every top-tier faction boasts seasoned elders who serve as pillars of strength. With numerous treasures at his disposal, if any of these factions grow envious and seek to seize them, Xiao Yan will face constant challenges unless he possesses a strong deterrent. Naturally, nothing compares to the presence of a Douzun-level master in terms of such a deterrent. With a Douzun-level master constantly by his side, even when operating within the Zhongyi region, Xiao Yan can stand tall and confident. Therefore, the task of refining his physical form under Tianhuo Zun'er's guidance must be expedited as much as possible. Nevertheless, refining the body is no easy task. As the Elder of Medicine originally described, three ingredients are required: first, the Sheng Gu Rong Xue Pill; second, the essence of a seven-stage beast; and third, the bones of a Battle Sect master. Among these, the latter two—especially the seven-stage beast's essence and the Battle Sect master's bones—are no longer rare in Xiao Yan's current eyes. However, the Sheng Gu Rong Xue Pill is far from ordinary. A top-tier seventh-rank pill, it is said to revive anyone as long as they still have a breath. Indeed, when compared to Tang Zhen's Fire Bodhi Pill, this pill is even more advanced. From a certain perspective, even if elevated to the eighth rank, it would not be an overstatement—its unique and remarkable effects truly warrant its place among such elite pills. Though Xiao Yan has now reached the level of a seventh-rank alchemist, he still feels uncertain about crafting the Shenggu Rongxue Pill. Indeed, not only him, but even seasoned master alchemists who have maintained their seventh-rank status for years, struggle to achieve a high success rate with this particular pill. The difficulty of producing seventh-rank pills has been personally experienced by Xiao Yan. Back in the Inner Courtyard, had it not been for his entering that rare, extraordinary state, he likely would have failed. This time, however, it cannot be considered a solo endeavor—he succeeded only through the combined efforts of himself, Master Huan, and Tang Zhen. Though Xiao Yan contributed the most effort, if he were to attempt it alone, he would likely find it extremely difficult to successfully craft the Huo Pu Pill, as seventh-rank advanced pills are no ordinary achievement. Since even independently crafting a Fire Bud Pill proved to be extremely successful, let alone this supposed seventh-rank peak Bone-Infusing Blood-Uniting Pill, according to Xiao Yan's prediction, unless he achieved another significant leap in strength, he would never succeed in producing this medicine. However, after reaching the Battle Sect level, his strength improvements had become notably sluggish—many Battle Sect cultivators, even after years of practice, remained stagnant. This clearly demonstrated how difficult it was to advance within the Battle Sect ranks. Thus, the anticipated breakthrough remained uncertain, and it was unclear when it would finally occur. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two to three years before the Bone-Infusing Blood-Uniting Pill could be successfully crafted. Given that timeline, the physical cultivation aspect would have to be postponed. Even if Tianhuo Master could wait, Xiao Yan himself might not be able to endure such a wait. Therefore, he had to resort to alternative methods to assist Tianhuo Master in cultivating his physical form. "The Shenggu Rongxue Pill is too advanced—currently, we can't produce it. So perhaps we'll have to substitute it with other pills that offer a similar effect. Though the results may be slightly less effective, that's the best we can do for now. Once our capabilities grow stronger in the future, we'll be able to remake better pills for others." Xiao Yan's eyes reflected thoughtful contemplation. Then, he closed his eyes, allowing his soul energy to penetrate the dark ring left by the medicine elder. Quickly, he searched through the vast collection of prescriptions stored within it—seeking a suitable alternative to the Shenggu Rongxue Pill. The ring contained the elder's lifetime collection of prescriptions, an immense archive. This search consumed nearly two hours of Xiao Yan's time. After approximately two hours, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, grasped his palm, and a scroll of pale green color appeared in his hands. The Yin-Yang Soul-Heart Pill is a mid-tier seventh-rank pill, renowned for its miraculous ability to revive the soul and restore life. Its ingredients include the Reviving Spirit Fruits and the Soul-Heart Ghost Flower. This Yin-Yang Soul-Heart Pill offers effects quite comparable to the Bone-Forming Blood-Infusing Pill, and at only seventh-tier mid-rank—perfectly within the range of Xuāo Yīn’s capabilities—it serves as an excellent substitute for the Bone-Forming Blood-Infusing Pill. "The preparation of the ingredients is somewhat intricate, and several rare materials are required, though these should not be difficult to find within the Central Region. A seventh-tier mid-rank pill is well within my capacity, and I can ensure a reasonable success rate. The only drawback is that it does not match the perfection of the Bone-Forming Blood-Infusing Pill. Nevertheless, overall, it is quite satisfactory—the shortcomings lie primarily in the bone and blood components, and these can be adequately compensated for." Xuān Yīn absorbed the details of the prescription into his mind, paused thoughtfully, and then spoke softly. "Hmm, this matter is entirely up to you. As long as I can possess my own body, how you proceed doesn't matter—this state has truly worn me out." The Tianhuo Sovereign didn't hesitate, saying so. "Rest assured, I'll gather and prepare the herbs needed for the Yin-Yang Life-Soul Pills as swiftly as possible. Once everything is ready, I'll begin the process and ensure you gain your own body as quickly as possible." Xiao Yan nodded, smiling. Upon hearing this, the Tianhuo Sovereign smiled in return, adding, "Also, take the time to practice the Five-Circle-Departing-Flame Method I've passed on to you. When you're able to form the Five-Circle-Departing-Flame Array, the power you'll unleash will surely exceed your expectations." Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart also stirred. The Five-Ring Separation of Fire Technique was a high-tier mid-level combat skill, naturally powerful, though its control required considerable complexity. Previously, with his own strength, Xiao Yan could only barely summon the Spirit of the Fire Wolf, let alone form an array. He didn't know yet how many Fire Spirits he could now summon after reaching the Douzong level. Only when he gathered five such spirits could he truly unleash the full power of the Five-Ring Separation of Fire Technique. Of course, Xiao Yan knew clearly that for the final array to reach its peak effectiveness, four of the five Fire Spirits needed to be formed from the unique fires. That milestone might only be achieved once he secured the Three Thousand Yan Fire—something he might have to wait for. "Master Yao, please rest assured. The Five-Ring Separation of Fire Technique is indeed your signature skill. I most certainly won't let it go." Thinking of the power it could unleash at its peak, Xiao Yan's heart also warmed up slightly, and he smiled softly to himself. "I never once knocked you over. Back then, my Five-Round Flame Technique was well known throughout the continent. Yet now, it seems that even the current Qi Continent hardly remembers my name..." The Tianhuo Patriarch's tone carried a subtle sense of pride, clearly indicating that he had once been a prominent figure on the Continent. Xiao Yan smiled gently—after all, who among the Qi Sovereigns wasn't a celebrated figure? Thus, he didn't find it difficult to accept the Patriarch's words. After a while of conversation, Xiao Yan gently stepped down from the bed, stretched his body, and walked toward the room's entrance. Since he had now successfully helped Tang Zhen refine the Huo Pu Dan, he believed that the matter of the Tianhuo Triple Transformation should also be settled by now.
