Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

It was a strange place filled with deadly poison, which was of no value to others, but as the Black Rock City Lord said, he had a strange fire protecting him, so he could venture a little deeper into that place.

Herbs that grow in such harsh environments often have unique effects. As an alchemist, if I could enter this place, I might have many unexpected gains.

Another crucial point is that Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation requires highly toxic substances, so this place might be of some help to her.

After finally seeing something that Xiao Yan was interested in, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Linfei.

"Fei'er, give this to Mr. Xiao Yan."

Linfei took the scroll and nodded: "Yes, Father."

At this moment, all her pride vanished; she hadn't even reached the level of a five-star Dou Zhe when she was seventeen.

The boy before her was already a Dou Ling, and this disparity prevented her from feeling even the slightest bit of jealousy.

Lin Fei walked step by step to Xiao Yan and handed him the scroll.

"Thank you, Miss Linfei, and thank you, Lord City Lord."

Xiao Yan took the scroll and carefully checked it. The place marked on the map was about 300 miles north of Black Rock City. If he went another 200 miles north, he would have completely crossed the mountain range and arrived at the Tagor Desert.

Judging from the terrain, the location of this mark seems to be a valley, surrounded by towering peaks, but this place is low-lying and difficult for ordinary people to find.

This map has been specially infused with spiritual power, making it into a spiritual beacon that will guide you once you get close.

It must have been drawn by Lynn herself, as it is quite different from ordinary maps.

After all, this is a gift for Xiao Yan, so it can't be too shabby.

After silently memorizing the location, Xiao Yan then accepted the map.

"This map is indeed of great value to Xiao Yan. I, Xiao Yan, accept the city lord's kindness. If Black Rock City is ever in trouble in the future, I, Xiao Yan, will definitely do my part."

Regarding the damage to the City Lord's Mansion during the fight, I will entrust the Alchemist Guild to make compensation to the City Lord's Mansion on my behalf.

One thing at a time. Xiao Yan may not like Black Rock City's way of doing things, but he won't renege on his promise since he's already taken the goods.

Xiao Yan then clasped his hands in a salute and walked straight out of the city lord's mansion. The guards on both sides were trembling with fear and dared not even look directly at Xiao Yan.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, two figures quickly caught up with them.

"Brother Xiao Yan, please wait."

Xiao Yan turned around. The speaker was a middle-aged man with a refined and gentle demeanor, and behind him was his daughter, Xue Mei.

"Brother Xiao Yan, my name is Xue Ling, the head of the Xue family in Black Rock City. This is my daughter, Xue Mei. I'm sure you've already met her at the Alchemist Guild, Mr. Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan had a slightly better impression of Xue Mei, always feeling that she was a girl who carried a lot of burdens and put too much pressure on herself.

"May I ask what brings you here, Senior Xue?"

Xiao Yan has always believed in repaying kindness tenfold, and he generally won't kill someone unless he's certain they're an enemy.

"I am several decades older than Brother Xiao Yan. If you don't mind, please don't call me Senior Xue anymore, just call me Uncle."

I heard from my daughter that you were going to the capital. It just so happens that my Xue family manages this flying station.

However, none of the flying beasts have returned to the inn yet. If you don't mind, Brother Xiao Yan, you can ride one of my Xue family's private flying beasts. What do you say?

This is exactly what Xiao Yan needs right now. Xue Mei had mentioned it before, and since she offered it, he was naturally very happy to accept: "Not at all, thank you very much, Uncle Xue. I will pay for the flight according to the quoted price."

"It would be too vulgar to mention money. Besides, the empire stipulates that alchemists do not need to pay gold coins to ride flying beasts. This amount of money is nothing to my Xue family. Consider it my treat to Brother Xiao Yan."

They're willing to help with big things, so they don't need to worry too much about these small details.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Xue. But before that, I need to go to the Alchemist Guild, which may take some time."

Before leaving, Xiao Yan still planned to visit the Alchemist Guild. The two alchemy masters had given him two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills, and only he, as an alchemist, could understand their value.

It is also very necessary to pay a visit before leaving.

"That's perfect. Let Mei'er come with you. When you need to visit the Xue family, just have her lead the way."

Xue Ling did this intentionally, and Xiao Yan didn't point it out. What was there for a grown man like him to be afraid of when traveling with a beautiful woman?

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Xue Mei." Xiao Yan smiled and looked at Xue Mei behind him.

A flicker of panic crossed the other person's face, but they quickly regained their composure: "Not at all, it's no trouble at all."

Xiao Yan and Xue Mei traveled together to the Alchemist Guild. She knew that this was an opportunity her father had created for her to be alone with him.

If Xiao Yan were just a Dou Shi, she could treat him as an equal, but he was a Dou Ling. Just walking alongside him made her feel a sense of oppression, even though Xiao Yan didn't have any Dou Qi leaking out.

"By the way, when did Miss Xue Mei begin learning alchemy?"

After a period of silence, Xiao Yan finally broke the silence.

"Me? It's been about a year, but I can't compare to you. I didn't even pass the first-grade alchemist exam."

Thinking of this, Xue Mei felt even more ashamed. Her most prized skill, alchemy, was inferior to others. What else did she have to be proud of?

"Miss Xue Mei's alchemy skills are already quite proficient, but you still need to adjust your mindset. When you are refining medicine, you don't need to pay attention to other people around you. Just focus on doing your own thing. Only you and the cauldron exist in the world. When you enter this state, even if you haven't started yet, the pill has already been refined."

Xiao Yan's words awakened Xue Mei. She was too concerned about other people's opinions and was afraid of falling behind others because of the high expectations placed on her. She couldn't even understand such a simple truth.

"Thank you, I'll remember that." Xue Mei smiled slightly, suddenly realizing that the boy in front of her wasn't as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.

Over the next few days, Xue Mei opened up a little and chatted and laughed all the way, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.

"We've arrived. These past few days, the teacher and Master Otto have basically been staying at the guild preparing for something. I don't know what they're doing."

As soon as Xiao Yan and Xue Mei stepped into the gates of the Alchemist Guild, they heard a quarrel.

"Old man, my name should be on it!"

"This is a strange fire that I suggested Xiao Yan part with, so my name should definitely be on it!"
