Upon hearing Han Yue's words, everyone's faces changed, and they looked at Xiao Yan with surprise and delight.
"Elder Yan Xiao? This person is the legendary Elder Yan Xiao?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's youthful face, even Lin Xiuya and the others were momentarily stunned, as Xiao Yan's appearance was not much different from theirs.
However, his achievements far surpassed theirs.
If they knew that Xiao Yan's youthful face was only slightly modified and that his real age was even younger, they wondered what these guys would think.
Seeing the surprised and admiring looks on everyone's faces, Xiao Yan felt slightly satisfied. This
was more in line with his image of showing off in front of others.
Thinking this, several wisps of battle qi suddenly appeared at his fingertips.
These battle qi seemed weak, but when Xiao Yan flicked them out, they silently pierced through the heads of many Water Frost Wolves.
"Pfft pfft!"
Several sounds of objects being pierced rang out, and the Water Frost Wolves fell to the ground in the horrified gazes of the group of top-ranked students.
Even the wolf king stared blankly at Xiao Yan for a moment before a trickle of blood flowed from its forehead.
Then it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Looking at the Water Frost Wolves lying silently on the ground, the arena fell into a deathly silence.
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, a sound of swallowing broke the unspoken silence.
The students' gazes towards Xiao Yan were now filled with awe.
They knew all too well just how powerful these Water Frost Wolves were; even an ordinary elder would likely be in grave danger fighting them head-on.
Yet Elder Yan Xiao had simply flicked his fingers a few times, casually taking the lives of these Water Frost Wolves.
Such strength was truly terrifying!
"So satisfying!" Seeing the awe and admiration in everyone's eyes, Xiao Yan secretly rejoiced, but his face remained calm and composed.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take the magic cores from these magical beasts!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the group finally snapped out of their shock.
"Elder Yan Xiao, don't you need these things?"
Even Lin Xiuya felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xiao Yan's generosity and asked somewhat bewilderedly.
"If you don't want to refine the Heart Flame Tempering Pill anymore, then give me all the demonic cores from these magical beasts."
Facing their anxious expressions, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, but his smile only made the students more uneasy.
"Don't hesitate any longer. I don't want these things, so I won't take advantage of you students."
Seeing their restless state, Xiao Yan finally gave a definite answer; after all, he had had his fill of playing the role of a superior.
Hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Lin Xiuya and the others nodded, their faces flushed.
"In that case, we must thank Elder Yan Xiao."
After saying this, the group exchanged glances before excitedly rushing towards the corpses of the Water Frost Wolves.
Soon, the students swiftly and efficiently dismantled the group of Water Frost Wolves' carcasses.
These people truly lived up to their reputation as elites of the inner court. Each one appeared refined and elegant, beautiful and delicate, yet they dissected the corpses of magical beasts with a skill far surpassing that of pig butchers.
"Aren't you going to dissect the magical beast corpses?"
A soft voice reached Han Yue's ears. Han Yue turned abruptly and found Xiao Yan smiling at her.
Under Xiao Yan's gaze, a faint blush appeared on Han Yue's jade-like face.
Then, a gentle smile bloomed on her lips, like a snow lotus in full bloom.
"No need. With the three opportunities Elder Yan Xiao gifted me, I'm now one of the wealthiest women in the inner court. This trip is just to help them out."
Mentioning those three opportunities for Heart Flame Tempering, Han Yue felt even more grateful for her past meddling.
Who could have imagined that her unintentional act would bring her such a tremendous opportunity?
What she didn't know was that if it weren't for her exceptional beauty, while Xiao Yan would still have offered a substantial reward, he wouldn't have shown her much concern.
Or rather, he wouldn't have been so attentive and caring as he was now.
"So, you're not injured, are you?"
Xiao Yan smiled warmly.
Who could resist a white-haired, mature woman? He certainly couldn't, especially since he remembered that Han Yue seemed to have a younger sister.
Hehe,
Han Yue felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Yan's concerned question, but still obediently replied, "I'm not injured, thank you for your concern, Elder Yan Xiao!"
By the way, what are these guys' names?
Xiao Yan casually started a conversation, not only to get closer to Han Yue, but also because he remembered that these guys were all somewhat prominent supporting characters in the original story.
"Lin Xiuyai, Lin Yan..." Han Yue rattled off all the names.
Upon hearing these names, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of realization.
Indeed, these names were somewhat memorable.
Thinking this, the group had already finished processing the demonic beast corpses. Lin Xiuyai, the leader, presented the fifth-tier beast king's demonic core to Xiao Yan without hesitation.
"Elder Yan Xiao, we're afraid we won't have a chance to repay your great kindness now, but we dare not keep this fifth-tier demonic beast's core. Please accept it, Elder Yan Xiao."
Seeing how sensible the students were, Xiao Yan smiled and accepted the demonic core, then handed it to Han Yue amidst everyone's surprised gazes.
"It's yours!"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
Han Yue, however, seemed somewhat flattered.
"Elder Yan Xiao, you've already been kind enough to me. Giving me such a generous gift now is simply unacceptable
to Han Yue." A fifth-tier magical beast's core might not mean much to Xiao Yan, but it was a priceless treasure in Han Yue's eyes.
Seeing Han Yue's reaction, Xiao Yan didn't press the matter. After all, with a group of students watching, openly flirting with a female student was somewhat unethical.
Although he didn't care about his reputation, he still had to protect Han Yue's.
After putting away the magical beast core, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Xiuya and his group with a smile and said, "You are destined to meet me. If you can gather the materials to refine the Heart Flame Origin Pill in the future, you can come to the Alchemy Department to find me, and I can help you refine it."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the students' faces lit up with excitement.
It should be known that the Heart Flame Tempering Pill was invented by Elder Yan Xiao himself. If Xiao Yan were to refine it, the success rate would be close to one hundred percent.
Moreover, with Xiao Yan's alchemy skills, the quality of the pills he refines will definitely be better.
Thinking of this, the students' eyes almost lit up when they looked at Xiao Yan.
This Elder Yan Xiao, whom they were meeting for the first time, was truly a kind person.
"Thank you, Elder!"
"Thank you, Elder!"
Everyone bowed to Xiao Yan with heartfelt respect.
"It's nothing. I already said that we are destined to meet." Xiao Yan smiled and glanced at Lin Xiuya and Lin Yan, then turned to Han Yue and said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the academy in the future, you can come to me at any time."
After saying this, he waved slightly to everyone, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
After Xiao Yan left, Lin Xiuya couldn't help but sigh, "This Elder Yan Xiao is truly magnanimous, able to care so much for us lowly students."
"Yue'er, why is Elder Yan Xiao so nice to you? Could it be that he has taken a liking to you?"
Some female students on the other side teased Han Yue.
Hearing the teasing of the female students, Han Yue's usually aloof face suddenly flushed red.
"Get lost! If you little vixens have your eyes on Elder Yan Xiao, go and flirt with him yourselves! Don't just talk nonsense about me!"
Seeing Han Yue's expression, the group of women laughed even harder.
"You weren't like this when we teased you before. It seems our Yue'er is also a little smitten with Elder Yan Xiao."
"Go to hell!" Han Yue unleashed a burst of fighting spirit, her face turning even redder.
While everyone was frolicking, Xiao Yan had already returned to the inner courtyard.
However, shortly after returning, he noticed Zi Yan's unusual behavior.
The usually lively and energetic girl was now quiet and withdrawn, her face flushed, and her body radiating a heat like a furnace.
"Brother, you're back!" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan listlessly, her large, dark eyes losing their usual liveliness.
However, seeing her change, Xiao Yan wasn't startled at all; instead, a smile appeared on his face.
This girl wasn't sick; she was about to evolve. The pills Xiao Yan had refined for her earlier, if taken by an ordinary magical beast, would probably have already reached the sixth rank or even the late sixth rank.
But this girl had only reached the bottleneck of breaking through to the sixth rank.
This also showed the terrifying power of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan; truly worthy of being the most top-tier magical beast bloodline on this continent.
Thinking this, Xiao Yan reached into his storage ring and took out a pill, handing it to Zi Yan.
"Eat this. If you eat it, you can evolve to the sixth rank, and you can even truly transform!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan's big eyes finally lit up, and she excitedly popped the Transformation Pill into her mouth.
