After exiting the Burned Flame Valley, Xiao Yan did not linger long and instead swiftly rushed toward the direction of Tianhuang City. On his journey, he continuously reflected upon the complete cultivation method of the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation—the pinnacle secret technique of Burned Flame Valley. Though this technique's unique nature made it difficult to assess its standing, some practitioners found it utterly useless, while others, especially those wielding multiple powerful flames, could unleash a force that rivaled even other elite realm-level secrets. Fortunately, Xiao Yan belonged to the latter category. Possessing Qinglian Earth-Heart Fire, as well as the Fallen Heart Flame and Bone-Spirit Cold Fire, he was perfectly capable of fully realizing the peak potential of the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation—exactly as Tang Huo'er had described, a technique tailor-made for him. With three distinct hetero-flames simultaneously erupting, the amplified power must surely be extraordinarily formidable. Xiao Yan anticipated that if he fully unleashed it, he would be able to truly face off against seasoned masters like Fei Tian and Wu Chen—no longer having to merely endure ten rounds of combat while struggling to maintain his position as he does now. "However, each eruption of the Tian Fire Triple Transformation generates an intensely turbulent energy surge. With three transformations叠加, the intensity is boundless—perhaps even beyond what my current physical strength can withstand," Xiao Yan remarked, his expression reflecting thoughtful contemplation. After all, the flames within him were no ordinary ones; they were the very essence of the Hetero-Flame Sovereign! It was likely that even the Burned-In Flame Valley had never witnessed such a level of mastery in the Tian Fire Triple Transformation. After all, even if they were capable of finding three Strange Fires, who would dare to house all three together—without a miraculous technique like the Burned Resolution? "It seems that even once they master the complete version of the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation, they won't be able to deploy it easily, otherwise it would severely harm their bodies..." Xiao Yan sighed. Indeed, every advantage has its disadvantage. Nevertheless, no matter what, he now has an additional strength card. Should he face opponents in battle in the future, the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation would surely astonish everyone. At this point, Xiao Yan gradually gathered his focus, gazing far into the distance and spotting the faint outline of a city emerging subtly in the far horizon. "I wonder how the others—Liu Qing and the team—are doing with their inquiries about Xiao Yixian. Her affliction of the厄难 toxic constitution is quite a challenge, as the reputation of such a condition isn't exactly favorable. I hope nothing untoward has happened..." Xiao Yan murmured softly, then suddenly accelerated, transforming into a streak of rainbow light that surged across the sky, swiftly heading toward that distant city. This scene indeed made Xiao Yan pause. He didn't know that his name had been spreading far and wide throughout Tian Huang City—everyone was aware that the Li family had a young alchemy specialist who had reached the seventh rank. Though a bit puzzled, Xiao Yan still smiled and nodded. Upon seeing his nod, the several guards grew even more respectful, with the leading one immediately sending someone inside to inform Li Qing and the others, while he himself personally escorted Xiao Yan into the manor. "Nothing serious, actually. But lately, our Li family has been quite lively thanks to you..." Li Qing smiled. "How so?" "Many powerful factions now know that Li Family has a seventh-rank herbalist master. They're all eager to establish good relations with us, and many specifically wish to get acquainted with you, the young herbalist. Honestly, herbalists are truly in high demand these days..." Lin Yan nodded, eyes full of admiration. "Indeed, quite a few have come—some quite formidable in strength. They're all hoping to have you serve as a revered elder within their own ranks..." Li Qing said with a smile. "Actually, I don't need to be a revered elder. I'd rather not spend my life making pills for others in one place." Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile. "Ah, I see. That's precisely why we've been finding excuses to push them away. If such matters aren't handled well, they can easily become sources of resentment." Li Qing nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan smiled slightly and then steered the conversation to the main point: "Have you heard anything about the matter I mentioned last time?" Upon hearing this, Liu Qing's expression grew more serious. He first led Xiao Yan and the others to a stone pavilion, where they sat down in separate positions, and only then said after a moment of thoughtful reflection, "Yes, there have been some updates." Hearing this, Xiao Yan's spirits lifted slightly. "The person you referred to, Xinlan—I believe she is from the Ye family in the Dan Region, and her full name is Ye Xinlan," Liu Qing explained. "The Ye family?" Xiao Yan repeated, lightly tapping the stone table with his fingers. "How strong is this Ye family?" "Quite powerful—definitely far surpassing our Liu family. In fact, being admitted to the Elder Council of the Dan Tower is no ordinary achievement." "Liu Qing said, 'Within the Dan Domain, dragons and serpents coexist. Numerous powerful factions across the continent maintain branches there. However, overall, the key families linked to the Dan Tower are five, and the Ye family is one of them. Yet today, the Ye family is gradually declining, now ranking last among these five. In the past two years, they've even lost their seat on the Dan Tower's Council of Elders. If this trend continues, they may not even be able to hold onto their last position among the five, and will eventually be supplanted by other factions.' Xiao Yan nodded slightly—now it made sense why the Ye family had sent Xinlan to the Canaan Academy. Their situation had indeed deteriorated to this extent. 'What are the qualifications required to join the Dan Tower's Council of Elders?' Xiao Yan asked. Since he had committed to helping Xinlan, he naturally wanted to pay closer attention to this matter. He didn't want to risk losing the trust of others through failure." "I'm not entirely sure about this, but it must be quite strict—after all, it's DanTa, and to even enter, one needs a substantial network of connections within it..." Liu Qing chuckled slightly. Xiao Yin nodded slowly, indicating that this wasn't an urgent matter and that they could take their time discussing it. Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard anything about the young healer you mentioned?" "I've sent several people to gather information about Dan Domain recently, and the most talked-about topic there these days is precisely tied to this young physician—because she carries the legendary Eran Du Toxic Constitution." "This Eran Du Toxic Constitution, a condition so terrifying that it once triggered massive disasters in Zhongzhou, was thought to have vanished entirely. Yet here it is, reemerging once again." Even when mentioning the Eran Du Toxic Constitution, Li Qing's expression carries a clear undercurrent of fear. "Where is she now?" Xiao Yan spoke in a low, steady voice. For Xiao Yi, perhaps it was due to her tragic past and her toxic constitution, that he had always maintained a special care and attention. Over the years, she had remained by his side through every peril he faced, never leaving his side. In her heart, she had long regarded Xiao Yan as a trusted confidant she could rely on without condition. Xiao Yan himself was fully aware of this. Therefore, ever since, he had strived tirelessly to find ways to help her overcome the suffering caused by her toxic condition. Now, should anything unforeseen happen to her, Xiao Yan would surely have to step in. "I'm not entirely sure of her exact location either. Nowadays, numerous factions within Dan Domain are actively searching for her, as they all recognize that once the厄难毒体 erupts, it will trigger something truly catastrophic..." Observing Xiao Yan's expression, Liu Qing nodded and paused before adding, "Among these factions, the people from Binghe Valley have been searching the most fervently." "Binghe Valley?" Xiao Yan's face immediately changed. "Yes," Liu Qing said seriously, "I understand that Binghe Valley has always shown a special interest in unique body types. Their pursuit of Xiao Yixian may stem from their own growing interest in the厄难毒体." "Moreover, according to recent information, Xiao Yixian previously fought against a powerful member of Binghe Valley. Though she managed to escape, she likely sustained significant injuries—otherwise, she wouldn't have vanished from sight for so long." Nian Yan also spoke with gravity. Xiao Yan nodded slowly, yet his expression gradually darkened. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen after they had parted. "Ice River Valley..." With his fist clenched tightly, a cold, determined fury flashed in his eyes. If Little Doctor had met with any misfortune, Xiao Yan would make the Ice River Valley pay with blood!
