Eternal madness

Chapter 220 Meeting with Elder Yao

(Third update, same as always, sigh, I'm exhausted)
Late at night, in Xiao Yan's room,
At this time, Xiao Yan was still working hard to cultivate Dou Qi. Although he had given up on the surface, he actually cultivated diligently every night.

hum-

Suddenly, a soul fluctuation came, and Xiao Yan collapsed, lying on the bed in a very "peaceful" manner.

whoosh-

The next instant, Xiao Li appeared in Xiao Yan's room, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Master Medicine, won't you come out and greet me?" Xiao Li said calmly.

"Ah~ I knew it. Your Xiao family's higher-ups all know of my existence." An aged voice rang out.

A wisp of white smoke emerged from the Bone Flame Ring, eventually coalescing into a slightly transparent, aged figure.

"Venerable Medicine Master, I have long admired your name. During my travels across the continent, quite a few busybodies have compared you to me," Xiao Li said with a smile.

Yao Zun Zhe, Yao Chen, Yao Lao are legendary figures. Yao Lao was an indispensable key to Xiao Yan becoming the Flame Emperor!
Xiao Yan without Yao Lao is soulless! The anti-inflammatory combination is essential.

"Hehe, this saint is too modest. My reputation is only due to the hype from my friends on the mainland. In my previous life, I was just a soul at the peak of the Spirit Realm. Now that I have died once, I have gained some insights."

"But compared to you, a soul of the Heavenly Realm, I am still far inferior!" Elder Yao was also very modest.

"Venerable Yao, your current soul state is not bad. You have about the strength of a three or four-star Dou Zong. In this Jia Ma Empire, as long as you don't provoke those few Dou Zong experts, you can walk sideways without any problem." Xiao Li looked Yao Chen up and down.

After all, he had previously given Elder Yao two Spirit Fusion Pills, enough to restore some of Elder Yao's soul.

"Hehe, I have to thank you for the Spirit Fusion Pill. Let's cut to the chase. A powerhouse like you, whose alchemy skills are even superior to mine, why have you kept me here until now?"

The old apothecary got straight to the point. He didn't understand why this half-saint powerhouse, who might be a ninth-grade alchemist, was being so polite to him. Having spent so much time in the Central Plains, the old apothecary naturally knew what was most attractive about him.

But the half-saint powerhouse named Xiao Li in front of him was clearly superior to him in alchemy. What was his purpose? It's no wonder that the old apothecary thought this way. After all, he had already been betrayed by Han Feng once. Having been betrayed by someone close to him, the old apothecary would never trust anyone again.

Even if it were Xiao Yan, Yao Lao had ulterior motives. He wanted to trick Xiao Yan into cultivating the strange "Burning Technique" at a suitable opportunity and then help him be resurrected!
"My purpose, of course, is to need the help of you, the number one alchemist on the continent. Of course, I'm also itching to have a match with you, the number one alchemist on the continent," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

The old alchemist suddenly sneered: "The number one alchemist on the continent? Do you believe that title? At your level, you must know at least some secrets."

"Of course I know. We are both descendants of the imperial family, so what can't we know? It's just that the Medicine Clan is truly blind. How could they not invite you back, a peak Ninth-Rank Dou Zun and an Eighth-Rank peak alchemist in your lifetime?"

"Hehe, in my opinion, the Medicine Clan is nothing but withered bones in a tomb, utterly useless," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Your Excellency, isn't it a bit much to speak of my Medicine Clan in this way? After all, the Medicine Clan are descendants of the Medicine Emperor. Although this generation is not very good, isn't such verbal humiliation a bit excessive?"

The old apothecary frowned. Although he was an outcast of the Yao clan and had a bad relationship with the Yao clan members, he was still a member of the Yao clan, and he naturally could not tolerate others insulting his family. "It is a bit much, but can't we say they are blind? Alright, let's talk about the conditions. I hope you will take Xiao Yanzi as your disciple. As for the purpose, there is no great purpose."

As for the reward, hmph, I possess a method of resurrection. I will personally resurrect the Venerable One, and perhaps even help him take that step to become a Medicine Saint.”

Xiao Li smiled lightly.

Xiao Li's reward was very generous. Even though Yao Lao knew there was a catch, he couldn't refuse. After all, he really wanted to be resurrected. He still had too many regrets to fulfill and couldn't die like this!

"Alright, I agree." After pondering for a moment, the old man finally agreed, as he still had too many regrets to fulfill.

"A wise choice. Let me show you the reward first." Xiao Li took out a corpse.

"This is! The remains of a Battle Saint! He doesn't look like he's been dead for long!" Yao Lao exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right! This is the skeleton of a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage. With your current Tianjing soul potential, you can cover this skeleton. With the help of this skeleton’s abilities, you should be able to break through to Dou Sheng.” Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

As Yao Lao looked at the remains, his eyes were filled with fervor. Back then, he had already cultivated to the peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun, just half a step away from the Saint Realm, but he had never been able to find the right feeling.

Yao Lao was confident that if he had broken through again back then, even if he were a half-saint, the Soul Palace would have to think twice before making a move against him.

Although Yao Lao was killed by the Soul Palace and Han Feng, he did not come away empty-handed. His soul underwent a transformation due to his death, and although it is now weak, it is still a Heavenly Realm soul!

If he could be resurrected, even in the body of a Dou Zong, he was confident that he could take that crucial step forward with the help of his soul power!
Now that a ready-made Dou Sheng skeleton is right in front of him, it would be impossible for Yao Lao not to be tempted.

"How about it, Venerable Medicine? Are you tempted? Help me nurture Xiao Yanzi properly, and I will personally revive you and help you become a Dou Sheng expert in one step. With your talent and alchemy skills, you can refine ninth-grade pills after reaching the Dou Sheng level, right?"
As for the Black Demon Lightning and such, don't be afraid, there will be a solution. By the way, Yao Wangui of the Medicine Clan is only a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, and his soul power is only at the late stage of the Heavenly Realm. He's really a piece of trash.

"Does the Medicine Venerable not want to trample him underfoot?" Xiao Li grinned.

"Yao! Wan! Gui!" Old Yao was immediately enraged, then looked at Xiao Li: "Fine! I'll do it! As long as I can beat Yao Wan Gui to a pulp, I'll serve you without any complaints!"

"That's all. By the way, Elder Yao, do you still have an old flame looking for you? The Green Fairy of the Flower Sect still can't forget you, can she? When she talked to her, she even asked me to find your whereabouts!" Xiao Li said with a grin.

Yao Chen blushed slightly; he had indeed been quite the ladies' man in his youth. "Ahem, those were just some romantic entanglements from my younger days. By the way, could you tell me about your method of resurrection? I also have a method of resurrection; could you compare our methods?"

“Of course, my method is to use the Yin-Yang Reversal Pill, the remains, and the essence blood of the demonic beast, and use my strange fire, the Yang fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, to calcine them. By using the vitality of the Yang fire, the soul and the body can be fused together. It takes a long time, but it is safe,” Xiao Li said slowly.

"It's similar to my method, except that I use the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, which isn't as good as the Yin-Yang Reversal Pill. I need the flames from the fusion of three different flames to temper my physical body. This way, I can refine a physical body that best suits my soul, making it no different from my original body, but it's quite dangerous," the old medicine master said slowly.

"So, what method does Your Excellency intend to choose?" Xiao Li asked with a faint smile.

The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "Let's take it slow. Let's train Xiao Yan first and temper his temperament."
