Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 437

Xiao Yan nodded slightly in goodwill to the other party, then looked back at the thunderbolt above his head. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he did not make any move.

My current strength is sufficient to enter the star field; there's no need to reveal any more of my trump cards...

"It seems the champion has already been decided."

Tian Leizi looked at Xiao Yan and Qinghua Old Monster with a hint of regret on his face.

Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi did not refute it. After all, others did not know, but at their level, they could sense that the thunderclouds in the sky and the alchemical lightning of Qinghua Old Monster were only a hair's breadth away from appearing with a fourth color. In the end, their quality was slightly higher than Xiao Yan's.

"To achieve such success at such a young age, his talent far surpasses that of his peers!"

Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yan, praising him, but his tone still carried a hint of regret.

After all, Qinghua Laoguai was an old man, and the champion of the Pill Gathering did not ultimately fall into the hands of the younger generation. As members of the Pill Tower, they naturally felt a little bitter.

"No! He can!"

Just then, Xuan Yi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and refuted Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi.

Outside the floating stone platform, Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan, who was now motionless, and shook his head with a wry smile: "This guy, dazzling is your only defining characteristic!"

"Looks like I'll have to give you a boost!"

Xiao Fan knew that Xiao Yan liked to keep some trump cards up his sleeve. After all, in the original story, even when Mu Gu was about to win the championship, Xiao Yan was unwilling to meddle. It wasn't until Mu Gu insulted Yao Lao that Xiao Yan finally made up his mind to take action. In the end, he used the Spirit Ascension Technique and won the Pill Gathering Championship with a record far exceeding Mu Gu's.

"Shh!"

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to be decided, Xiao Fan's figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, attracting everyone's attention.

"Who is this person!"

"During the Pill Gathering, isn't he afraid of offending the Pill Tower?"

On the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi and the others sensed Xiao Fan's movement and their expressions darkened. Just as they were about to make a move, they heard Hou Laoguai's voice transmission: "Don't rush, don't rush! This little guy is Xiao Fan, who previously clashed with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"

Hou Laoguai had briefly met Xiao Fan outside Mingzhu City, so he naturally recognized Xiao Fan. Although he didn't know what Xiao Fan's sudden appearance was for, he was worried that Xuan Kongzi and the others would make a move, so Hou Laoguai immediately sent a telepathic message to Xuan Kongzi and the others.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Hou Laoguai's voice, Xuan Kongzi and the other two stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiao Fan in mid-air with a hint of curiosity on their faces: "This is Xiao Fan? His strength has actually reached such a level..."

"It's you! Xiao Fan!"

On the floating stone platform, Cao Ying's expression changed drastically as she looked at Xiao Fan, who suddenly appeared in mid-air, and she exclaimed in surprise.

However, Xiao Fan ignored her, looked at Xiao Yan on the floating stone platform, smiled gently, and said, "Junior brother, don't worry too much, I'm here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles, which brought tears to Xiao Yan's eyes.

"You are Yao Chen's disciple, I wonder... how much of his legacy have you learned?"

Just then, the Old Monster Qinghua looked at Xiao Yan and spoke through telepathy.

Upon hearing Yao Lao's name, Xiao Yan's body stiffened, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. He said, "You will see him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan looked up and met Xiao Fan's gaze again. Then, his eyes swept over the many spectators outside the floating stone platform, and he suddenly laughed arrogantly, "This championship, I, Xiao Yan, want it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate any longer. Looking at the Black Demon Cauldron shrouded in the pillar of light, he stepped forward and slapped his hands against the cauldron. Then, a perfectly round, cyan-red pill flew out and landed in Xiao Yan's palm.

Xiao Yan looked at the pill in his palm, then withdrew his hand. The pill floated quietly in mid-air, bathed in the energy of the pillar of light.

"What...what is he going to do? The refining process is already complete. If he touches the pill now, isn't he worried about disrupting the balance of the medicinal properties and causing failure?"

Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan and found that he was exuding an arrogant aura, as if he had no scruples and was reckless!

The crowd outside the floating stone platform didn't know what Xiao Yan was planning, but when they saw the terrifying energy that suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yan, the entire Saint Pill City instantly erupted in excitement.

"boom!"

"It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it reaches its full potential, its color is bluish-green, and a cluster of blue flames grows in the heart of the lotus. It is the nineteenth on the list of strange flames, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"

"Formless body, flesh without flame, emptiness becomes spirit, heart generates fire, cultivation accelerator, fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, Fallen Heart Flame!"

"The Earth Dragon Returns, as Steadfast as a Mountain, as Immovable as a Peak, 13th on the Strange Fire Ranking, Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire!"

"Sea-born Flame, shaped like water, with towering waves, ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame List, the Heart of the Sea Flame!"

"The fusion of ice and fire, as white as frost, the alternation of yin and yang, in the name of flame, but in reality, freezing; the eleventh on the list of strange flames, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"

The sudden appearance of a violent aura behind Xiao Yan startled everyone.

Inside the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi, Tian Leizi, Xuan Yi, and more than ten elders of the Pill Tower appeared in mid-air, staring intently at Xiao Yan in the center.

As Xuan Kongzi and the other two looked at the strange flames behind Xiao Yan, they began to introduce them one by one, their tone gradually becoming more and more excited. However, when they saw the last one, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, everyone's emotions became extremely complicated.

"That old guy even passed on the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to you........."

"Shh!"

The next moment, Xiao Fan reappeared in mid-air with a smile on his face. He bowed slightly to Xuan Kongzi and the other two and said loudly, "Xiao Fan, disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen, greets the three seniors."

Chapter 195 Five-Colored Pill Lightning!

Seeing Xiao Fan suddenly blocking his way, Xuan Kongzi showed a hint of surprise on his face, then smiled knowingly, glanced at Xiao Yan below, and then waved his hand, and the people from the Pill Tower behind him returned to their respective positions.

"Yao Chen has truly acquired a fine disciple. Rest assured, the people of the Pill Tower would never resort to force or robbery!"

Xuan Kongzi nodded to Xiao Fan, his gaze shifting back and forth between Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, before sighing and speaking.

Although Xuan Kongzi had said they wouldn't attack Xiao Yan, everyone's eyes were still constantly scrutinizing him.

After all, these are five different kinds of strange fire!

It should be noted that there have only been twenty-three different kinds of strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking over the years. Any one of these strange flames is a great temptation for alchemists. Even the Medicine Venerable, who once dominated the continent, lost half his life just to subdue a single Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Seeing Xiao Yan wielding five different flames all by himself, no one could remain calm when witnessing such a scene unfold before their eyes.

Fortunately, they were all able to control their inner desires, only looking at Xiao Yan with some envy.

However, among the forces watching the Pill Gathering, many powerful figures were looking at Xiao Yan with envy.

Such a unique existence as a strange fire is not only a fatal temptation for alchemists, but even ordinary experts can greatly improve their strength by obtaining a strange fire. Looking at Xiao Yan on the field at this moment, if it weren't for the Pill Gathering, some people probably would have already made a move.

The next moment, Xiao Fan appeared in the air, his aura as a four-star Dou Zun powerhouse emanating out without any concealment. His gaze swept across the entire scene without uttering a word, but everyone understood his meaning.

Xuan Kongzi's personal confirmation of Xiao Fan's identity caused a stir in Saint Pill City, with everyone looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

"Disciple of Venerable Medicine...?"

"Did I hear that right? That Xiao Fan up there seems to be calling himself a disciple of the Medicine Venerable!?"

“That’s right, and most importantly, Senior Xuan Kongzi even admitted it!”

Although Saint Pill City is the holy land of alchemists across the entire continent, it is undoubtedly the place most longed for by alchemists on the continent.

However, the name of the Medicine Venerable is the idol of almost all alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. Even now in Saint Pill City, countless people look at Xiao Fan with complicated expressions after learning his identity.

The legendary deeds of the Medicine Venerable are well-known throughout the Dou Qi Continent. In fact, every alchemist aspires to become a figure like the Medicine Venerable, the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, an amazing figure who has reached the pinnacle of the art of alchemy.

Saint Pill City, which was already in an uproar because of the Strange Flame, could no longer calm down after Xiao Yan's Strange Flame and the exposure of their identities.

Their gazes swept across the surrounding stands. No one would be foolish enough to make a move under these circumstances. After all, regardless of Xiao Fan's strength as a four-star Dou Zun, if anyone dared to make a move during the Pill Gathering, the Pill Tower would probably be the first to not let him off the hook.

Moreover, even if they could resolve the issues with Xiao Fan and the Pill Tower, they would inevitably antagonize powerful figures connected to the Medicine Venerable.

As the strongest alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, no one knows how extensive Yao Zun Zhe's network is, nor how many people want to befriend him.

If someone were to attack Xiao Fan or Xiao Yan in such a setting, countless people would likely try to curry favor with Yao Zun Zhe, unless the attacker's background and strength were enough to make most people wary and back down.

"Hehe, alright, now let's continue to focus on the Dan Association!"

Xuan Kongzi stepped forward, smoothed things over, and addressed the crowd. His gaze landed on the floating stone platform as he looked at Xiao Yan with a gentle smile on his face.

After Xuan Kongzi's reminder, regardless of whether it was true or not, the forces observing the Pill Gathering outside have now turned their attention back to Xiao Yan, their eyes fixed on the three-colored thunderclouds in the sky, wanting to know who will win the final championship of the Pill Gathering, Xiao Yan or Qinghua Old Monster.

"boom!"

After Xiao Fan's reminder, Xiao Yan has now let go of his inner burdens and has only one thought in his mind: to win the championship!

"boom!"

Five different flames, each with its own unique form, appeared behind Xiao Yan. Their terrifyingly hot energy was so intense that even from a great distance, everyone could almost feel the terrifying aura emanating from them.

The appearance of the five different flames made the alchemists on the floating stone platform feel even more tormented, after all, the energy of the five different flames was unmatched by any other flame in the world.

All the alchemists on the floating stone platform, the flames inside their cauldrons, were now crawling towards Xiao Yan's direction. If their alchemy hadn't been almost finished, this one commotion alone would have caused their flames to go out of control, ultimately leading to the failure of this alchemy attempt.

"Fire Ring, Condense!"

Among the five different flames, Xiao Yan opened his hands, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and Fallen Heart Flame transformed into a stream of light and fell into Xiao Yan's palms. Meanwhile, the Tortoise Spirit Earth Flame and Sea Heart Flame were absorbed into Xiao Yan's body to maintain his own energy balance.

"He put three different kinds of strange fire together. Doesn't he know that different kinds of strange fire are incompatible?"

"How dare he! The explosion caused by the fusion of different flames is something even a Dou Zong couldn't withstand. I never expected Xiao Yan to be such an arrogant person!"

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't he already possess five different kinds of strange flames? Maybe he has some means to solve this problem?"

...................

The crowd watched Xiao Yan's suicidal actions, chattering amongst themselves about the gods and demons, but they remained fixed on him, eager to see just how capable this disciple of the Medicine Venerable, who had mastered five different flames, truly was!

"boom!"

As the three different flames fell into Xiao Yan's palm, he immediately felt a sense of rejection coming from his hand.

However, Xiao Yan, who already had experience in fusing with different flames, did not show any change in expression. He simply poured his terrifying soul power into his palm, suppressing the violent surge of the different flame in his hand.

"He actually managed to control her..."
