The jade box opened, revealing a rose-like flower with petals of various colors, lying peacefully within.
Even the occasional wafts of fragrance released from it could invigorate one's soul significantly.
"Not bad, this Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva is quite pure," Xiao Yan nodded.
This stuff wasn't abundant, even within the Xiao Clan. Soul-type treasures of this nature were notoriously difficult to cultivate.
Even the Xiao Clan's current Soul-Nurturing Grounds had been built using techniques originally from the Hun Clan.
"Step back a bit," Xiao Yan said softly, reaching out to take the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva.
"Oh," Nalan Yanran obediently retreated two steps.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his right hand, and a black and white flame erupted from his palm.
"This, is this a Heavenly Flame?" Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes gazed curiously at the magical flame before her. Besides the terrifying heat it radiated, it also carried a natural, ethereal charm.
It looked incredibly mystical.
"Indeed." Xiao Yan was quite patient with the beauty, explaining, "This Heavenly Flame is called the Yin-Yang Twin Flames."
"Truly amazing." Nalan Yanran blinked.
"Brother Xiao Yan, are you still an Alchemist?"
"Of course." Xiao Yan smiled and tossed the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva into the Heavenly Flame.
As soon as the seven-colored rose entered the flames, it released light to resist the scorching of the Heavenly Flame, but this light was clearly insufficient before the Yin-Yang Holy Flame.
"Judging by your alchemy skills, your rank seems quite high." Nalan Yanran asked softly.
"So-so, just a seventh-grade Alchemist, that's all," Xiao Yan said casually to Nalan Yanran as he used the Yin-Yang Holy Flame to roast the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva.
"Sev… seventh-grade?" A look of disbelief appeared on Nalan Yanran's delicate face.
"How is that possible? How could you be a seventh-grade Alchemist at your age?" Her small head seemed to have entered a state of shutdown.
She had interacted with many Alchemists in the Yunlan Sect and naturally understood that advancing in the ranks of Alchemists was even more difficult than cultivating Dou Qi.
With Dou Qi cultivation, as long as one had sufficient talent, they could make rapid progress, but Alchemy required a vast amount of accumulation.
"Nothing is impossible. Haven't you seen plenty of impossible things these past few days?" Xiao Yan smiled, appearing carefree.
"Damn it, he's doing it again, showing off," Nalan Yanran pouted, revealing a hint of despair.
"It seems like I won't be able to catch up to you in this lifetime."
"My family has accumulated wealth for a thousand years. Do you think you can catch up just by studying hard for ten years?" Xiao Yan chuckled inwardly, then tempted her, "Actually, it's not impossible."
"Can I really catch up to your cultivation?" Nalan Yanran looked listless.
"There's a way that could actually allow your cultivation to quickly approach mine."
"What way?" Nalan Yanran asked curiously.
"Cultivate together with me."
"Go die." Her pretty face flushed slightly.
"You already broke off the engagement, what's the point of talking about cultivating together?"
"If you can't be the main wife, you could be a concubine, couldn't you, Yanran? Although your cultivation is low, you're just so-so in looks, and your chest isn't big, I can still be tolerant of you."
Xiao Yan said seriously.
"You!" Nalan Yanran's face flushed red with anger.
"Listen to yourself, are you even making sense?"
"Alright, I was just kidding. Actually, you're quite pretty. I was a little regretful about breaking off the engagement back then," Xiao Yan consoled her.
Nalan Yanran's expression softened slightly, but for some reason, she felt a deeper sense of loss.
"What kind of powerful background does that girl who replaced me have?" For some reason, she suddenly felt a little jealous of the girl who had taken her place.
"Although your chest is indeed small."
Xiao Yan's next sentence plunged her back into an angry state.
The two of them fell silent, sitting quietly by the lake, watching as the black and white flames gradually burned the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva, finally transforming it into a mass of colorful liquid.
At that moment, the door to the master bedroom suddenly opened. Ya Fei, having changed into clean clothes, walked out.
"Woke up?" Xiao Yan glanced at Ya Fei.
"Yep." Ya Fei, swaying her alluring waist, walked to the lake and saw Nalan Yanran beside Xiao Yan.
She suddenly stretched, her white qipao perfectly outlining her figure.
The devilish curves made Nalan Yanran suddenly feel a pang of envy.
"Sister Yanran is here." Ya Fei's long, beautiful eyes looked at Nalan Yanran, her voice laced with a hint of laziness, like a little cat just waking up.
"Yes, hello Sister Ya Fei." Nalan Yanran greeted politely, glanced at Ya Fei, then lowered her head to look at herself.
It does seem a little small. A feeling of inferiority suddenly welled up inside her.
Feeling the aura on Ya Fei that was even stronger than at yesterday's auction, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but ask softly.
"Sister Ya Fei, what star Dou Master are you now?"
"Four stars, I think." Ya Fei chuckled.
"Four-star Dou Master..." Nalan Yanran felt another wave of stimulation.
"Yanran, why do you look so pale? Are you sick?"
"No, I'm fine." Nalan Yanran clutched her chest.
"Oh, I'll go make some tea." Ya Fei smiled slightly, and with a sway of her hips, which made Nalan Yanran feel even more inferior, she left.
"There's no point in living," Nalan Yanran suddenly felt a sense of hopelessness.
At this moment, Xiao Yan finally finished refining the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva.
He produced a dim white light sphere from somewhere.
Although the light sphere was still dim, it was much brighter than when it was first extracted from the World Soul Stone three days ago.
"Thank you, little girl." An aged voice entered Nalan Yanran's ears. The next moment, Nalan Yanran saw Xiao Yan toss the light sphere into the Yin-Yang Holy Flame.
As the light sphere was thrown into the Yin-Yang Holy Flame, the originally black and white flames suddenly separated, transforming into two Yin-Yang fish, one black and one white.
The black yin fish opened its mouth and swallowed Yun Potian's soul. The white yang fish then swallowed the extract from the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva.
Then, these two fish began to swim in a peculiar manner.
When the yin fish approached Nalan Yanran, she felt a chill in her heart, and her gaze towards Xiao Yan became very calm.
But when the Yin fish got close, she felt a sudden warmth in her heart, as if spring had arrived.
At this moment, some images of her being with Xiao Yan unexpectedly appeared in her mind.
"This Heavenly Flame is so strange." Nalan Yanran couldn't help but take a few steps back, not wanting the effects of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames to interfere with her.
"Heavenly Flames all have some special functions," Xiao Yan said with a slight smile as the Yin-Yang fish continued to swim.
Gradually, the unique medicinal power within the Seven-Colored Phantasmal Saliva slowly merged into the white light sphere.
When the sun set in the west, another soul force that made one's heart tremble emanated from the Yin-Yang fish.
After a moment, a phantom old man flew out from the Yin-Yang fish, and with a look of gratitude on his face, he clasped his hands towards Xiao Yan in a bow.
"Thank you, young friend, for saving my life!"
Thanks to the great Li Xiao for another 5,000-point reward. Simple flattery is no longer enough to express my gratitude.
Working overtime tonight to add a chapter for the top-ranked benefactor!
