<strong><u>Chapter 1047: Reward</u></strong>


    Tang Zhen was startled when he saw all the gazes in the hall gathering on Xiao Yan’s body. He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to ask, “This young friend Yan Xiao, would you like to give it a try?”


    Tang Zhen was naturally aware that quite a number of people present were adopting the mentality of wanting to watch a good show. However, from the way he saw it, since Xiao Yan dared toe to this Burning me Valley, he should also possess some ability. After all, he was quite assure of Elder Chi Huo’s abilities.


    The red-clotheddy beside Tang Zhen crossed her hands over her chest. Her pretty eyes were looking at Xiao Yan with interest. She also wanted to know whether this young man, who was praised by Tang Zhen earlier, had some ability or if he was merely a country bumpkin.


    “Since I havee to the Burning me Valley, I will naturally have to give this test a try.”


    Xiao Yan slightly smiled in front of many eyes and slowly nodded.


    Some alchemist grandmasters in the hall involuntarily revealed ridicule on their faces when they heard this. Even they were unable to endure for long against the Nine Dragon Lightning me, much less such a young fellow.


    “Since young friend Xiao Yan is interested, please give it a try. If you are able to pass, you and Grandmaster Huan will fill up the two spots.”


    Tang Zhen raised his hand as he spoke. At the same time, he smiled, feeling a little surprised by Xiao Yan’s boldness.


    Xiao Yan slowly stood up. He looked at the silver me suspended in the air of therge hall. Immediately, he clenched his hand, and a cluster of jade-green mes curled up and rose on it.


    Xiao Yan’s current control of the zed Lotus Heart me had reached the extent where he could manipte it at will. Putting it bluntly, other than the most unfathomable Tang Zhen, if anyone seated here were topete with him in terms of me control, none of them would be able topare with him. This included the two External Elders of the Pill Tower.


    The appearance of the jade-green me caused some people in therge hall to knit their eyebrows. Under Xiao Yan’s suppression, they were unable to sense even a little of the temperature that spread from the me.


    “Such a low temperature me is likely inferior to even that of some mes that are formed from Dou Qi, right?”


    Although the alchemist seated in this ce were all haughty, they were not fools. Naturally, they were aware that it was impossible for this temperature to be the true temperature of this me. However, all of them could not understand why Xiao Yan had suppressed the me.


    Tang Zhen on the leader’s seat frowned without anyone noticing. His eyes stared firmly at the me. He could vaguely sense that this jade-green me was not that simple...


    Xiao Yan was unconcerned about the surrounding eyes. A thought passed through his mind as his Spiritual Strength entered the me. The me wiggled, transforming into a palm-sized exquisite jade-green fire lotus.


    The me slowly rotated. It waspletely jade-green in color, appearing just like top quality jade. Its wless manner was just like an artistic work that gave one the feeling of being unwilling to part with it.


    Xiao Yan flicked his finger gently, and the fire lotus slowly rotated as it approached the cluster of silver-colored mes in the air. After which, it quietly merged into it in front of everyone’s anxious eyes...


    The nine fire dragons immediately sensed something when the jade-green fire lotus entered the cluster of silver mes. They carried a deep dragon roar as they swiftly pounced over!


    A cold smile surfaced on the faces of the few alchemist grandmasters when they saw this scene. The ridicule in their eyes became even denser. That manner was as though they had foreseen the miserable situation that would ur a momentter.


    However, the scene they anticipated did not appear as they had imagined. The cold smiles had just climbed up their faces when they suddenly stiffened. Immediately, the eyes of everyone in therge hall protruded out!


    The nine fire dragons carried a fierce momentum as they ruthlessly surrounded the fire lotus within the interior of the silver-colored me. However, they instantly became sluggish. A momentter, everyone saw a scene that caused them to be stunned. The nine fire dragons, which were still acting in a mighty and majestic manner, appeared to have seen a frightening thing at this moment. All of them fled in a lightning-like manner.


    After the nine fire dragons fled far away, they once again slowly swam closer. However, they only dared to linger around the fire lotus. They wandered around continuously, but did not dare to pounce forward and bite the fire lotus like they had during previous asions.


    This scene caused others to feel a disbelief and caused the entirerge hall to descend into a strange silence. Those alchemist grandmasters who were waiting to watch a show disyed exceptionallyical expressions on their faces when they looked at the separate fire lotus and fire dragons within the mes.


    Tang Zhen’s expression had also be a lot more solemn at this moment. There were not many mes in this world that could cause the Nine Dragon Lightning me to be this afraid. Moreover, he was certain at this moment that the jade-green me Xiao Yan had summoned was definitely a kind of Heavenly me!


    “The me is jade-green in color. However, there doesn’t seem to be any Heavenly me on the Heavenly me Ranking that possesses such a luster. The only one simr to the color is the Green Lotus Core me that is ranked neenth, but its luster is not so dense. Moreover, even if it is the Green Lotus Core me, it would not be able to cause the Nine Dragon Lightning me to be this afraid. This young man doesn’t appear to be a simple person...” Tang Zhen muttered softly in his heart. He had never thought that this young person in front of him would also possess a Heavenly me...


    The red-clotheddy beside Tang Zhen also gained an unusual glint in her pretty eyes because of this scene. This man, who appeared quite young, was indeed not a country bumpkin. However, she did not know just what her chances were if she fought with him. The hands of the red-clotheddy involuntarily felt somewhat itchy when she thought of this. If their current location was not inappropriate, it was likely that she would have headed down and issued a challenge to Xiao Yan. It was not the first time that she had done such a thing. Even Tang Zhen felt helpless that she was sopetitive despite being a girl.


    Shock also surged in the eyes of the two External Elders from the Pill Tower within therge hall at this moment. With their experience, they were naturally able to vaguely guess just what the jade-green me was.


    “How unexpected... this person, who looks so young, actually possesses a Heavenly me. I wonder just how many alchemists will be interested if this news spreads...”


    When they thought of this, the eyes of those two swept over therge hall without being noticed. They did indeed see a greedy expression surging into the eyes of some people. Those seated in this ce possessed some reputation in the Middle Region, yet even they end up feeling avarice. From this, it was possible to see just how much allure a Heavenly me possessed to an alchemist.


    Ten minutes swiftly flowed by in the silent,rge hall. Xiao Yan beckoned with his hand when the ten minutes had just ended. The fire lotus rushed out of the me without experiencing any loss. Finally, it emitted a boom and sted apart, turning into a cluster of mes that entered Xiao Yan’s hand.


    “Valley Chief Tang, may I know if I have passed?”


    Xiao Yan withdrew his me, kept his gaze focused on Tang Zhen, and smiled as he asked with his hands cupped together.


    “Ke ke, do you still need the old me to voice the result? Congrattions, young friend Yan Xiao. Including you, the old me has truly gathered two people.” Tang Zhen’s hand fondled his beard as heughed out loud. His eyes immediately slid to Elder Chi Huo as he said, “Chi Huo, you have handled your task in a manner that is as satisfactory as it always is. You were able to find a young and outstanding person like young friend Yan Xiao.”


    Elder Chi Huo’s face revealed a smile when he heard this. He respectfully said, “I was merely lucky. Being able to meet young friend Yan Xiao can be considered my luck.”


    Some alchemist grandmasters’ faces in therge hall became somewhat unnatural when they heard Tang Zhen’s words. This was especially the case for Grandmaster Mo who had ridiculed Xiao Yan earlier. His expression looked as though he had just swallowed a housefly. This scene was something that he had never expected. Moreover, he simply could not understand just how Xiao Yan came to possess a Heavenly me at such an age?


    “He’s only relying on the help of the Heavenly me. There’s nothing great about it...”


    Grandmaster Mo’s lips slightly twitched as he continued to stubbornlyugh in a cold manner.


    Xiao Yan really did not like this old fellow who spoke words that really caused others to despise him. After ncing at him, Xiao Yan shifted his eyes away andpletely ignored him.


    Tang Zhen also grinned. With his eyesight, he was naturally able to tell that this young man called Yan Xiao definitely possessed some skill. His alchemist skill might well be at a level that hardly anyone here couldpare with.


    “Everyone, please rest assured. I will invite everyone to watch when the medicinal pill refinement is in progress...”


    The cold smile on Grandmaster Mo’s face grew denser upon hearing Tang Zhen’s words. His eyes turned to Xiao Yan as he faintly said, “Although you possess a Heavenly me, you will only end up ruining things if youck ability. If you were to destroy the precious medicinal ingredients of Valley Chief Tang, it is likely that you will not be able topensate him.”


    “Thank you for your reminder. This Grandmaster Mo can just watch from the side. Just leave the matter of aiding Valley Chief Tang in refining a medicinal pill to Grandmaster Huan and me.” Xiao Yan Yan smiled as he replied.


    The hidden mockery in Xiao Yan’s words caused Grandmaster Mo to be dull. His face involuntarily twitched while the teacup he was holding shook. From the looks of it, he was greatly angered by these words of Xiao Yan.


    “Hee.”


    The red-clotheddy involuntarily let out a giggle when she saw Xiao Yan anger Grandmaster Mo to such an extent with just one sentence. However, she hurriedly shut her mouth when she saw Tang Zhen re at her.


    “Ke ke, everyone, let’s not argue over this. The medicinal ingredients needed to refine the medicinal pill might be precious, but with the ability of my Burning me Valley, we are still able to gather all of them. Therefore, there is no need for any mental burden when aiding the old me in refining the medicinal pill.” Tang Zhen waved his hand as he softlyughed.


    “Additionally, the medicinal pill refinement this time around will not be a simple one. Hence, the old me shall state this clearly beforehand. As long as the two of you can aid me in sessfully refining it, the reward will definitely be something that is to your satisfaction. Ke ke. Of course, you can just request if the two of you need anything.”


    Xiao Yan’s heart immediately pounded when he heard Tang Zhen’s words. He cupped his hands together and smiled as he asked, “May I know if this reward includes some Qi Methods or Dou Techniques of the Burning me Valley?”


    Tang Zhen was startled when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Yan while pondering the question. After which heughed, “As long as it is not some secrets of the Burning me Valley that cannot be passed to others, everything else is included. May I know just what young friend Yan Xiao has set his sights on?”


    Xiao Yan’s heart pounded. His eyes bore down on Tang Zhen as he slowly uttered, “Skyfire Three Mysterious Change...”
