The attributes of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python are complex, but the one evolved from Medusa herself is undoubtedly a fire-attribute Demonic Beast.
"The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python is almost at the ceiling among Seventh-Tier Demonic Beasts. Even the Void Ancient Dragon Clan would fear a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python of the same rank. This flame is quite good!"
Chen Yang raised his hand, and a cluster of colorful flames emerged in his palm, radiating terrifying power.
"As a transitional flame for a Fifth-Grade Alchemist, this colorful fire is exactly what I wanted."
Chen Yang smiled slightly, retracted the flame, got out of bed, and went to the water's edge. He waved his hand to bring out his Medicine Cauldron, intending to refine a batch of pills to test the effect!
Xiao Yi Xian, seeing Chen Yang about to refine medicine at the door, waved her hand to store her poisons into her storage ring. She skipped over to Chen Yang, took out a small stool to sit on, and rested her chin on her hands, watching Chen Yang refine medicine with a serene expression.
"Don't you get bored doing this all the time?"
Chen Yang asked Xiao Yi Xian while driving the colorful fire to heat the cauldron.
"No, I love watching you refine medicine the most." As Xiao Yi Xian spoke, her chin was pressed against her palms, causing her small head to bob up and down, looking extremely cute.
"Besides, didn't you say I could learn Alchemy Skill after I fuse with a Heavenly Flame? So, Master Mentor, please teach your apprentice well..." Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, her smile making Chen Yang want to demonstrate his 'riding' techniques again.
"Wait until I'm finished!" Chen Yang glared at Xiao Yi Xian, causing the girl to make a face at him before beckoning to the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King in the distance.
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King had successfully broken through to become a Fourth-Tier Magical Beast during this time, which delighted the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It felt as if it could already see the moment it would restore the glory of the Amethyst Winged Lion clan.
Their master was an Alchemist, and one who possessed Pill Formulas that could continuously make the Amethyst Winged Lion clan stronger.
At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King only wanted to follow Chen Yang faithfully and fully embrace its identity as a pet and mount.
Meanwhile, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King had been well-cared for by Xiao Yi Xian. Xiao Lan, the Blue Hawk, had already fallen to the bottom of the hierarchy in the pet Family.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian beckon, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its wings and flew down in front of her, extending its lion head for her to pet... On Chen Yang's side, life was quite comfortable.
On Xiao Yan's side, however, things were not easy at all.
Although Yao Lao was watching over him as he devoured the Purple Flame, and his Physical Body was comparable to a Third-Tier Magical Beast...
...this Purple Flame was, after all, derived from a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Moreover, this time, Xiao Yan had swallowed an entire bottle of accompanying purple crystal source.
However, Xiao Yan had long since grown accustomed to this level of pain.
And while the process was painful, the result was excellent.
"Teacher!"
"The Burning Technique really evolved! This Cultivation Technique can actually evolve!"
"You can be saved! You can be saved!"
Xiao Yan felt the changes and endurance of his Fighting Qi and spoke excitedly to Yao Lao, who was floating in the air.
"Good boy, good boy!"
"You've worked hard!"
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan with a mix of gratification and heartache. This brat had truly teetered on the edge of life and death this time.
However, effort brings rewards, and Xiao Yan's reward this time was quite impressive.
Not only had the Burning Technique evolved to a level comparable to a high-level Yellow Rank technique, but his strength had also increased significantly!
"Xiao Yan, look at your Dantian!"
After praising him, Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
Xiao Yan hurriedly sank his consciousness into his Dantian and saw a diamond-shaped Dou Crystal.
"Combined with that kid Chen Yang's Medicinal Pills, you've broken through directly from a Seven-Star Dou Shi to a Great Dou Master—and a Three-Star Great Dou Shi at that!"
"It's also thanks to you raising your Physical Body to a level comparable to a Third-Tier Magical Beast, giving you an incredibly solid Foundation. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to increase your strength again for the next six months!"
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan with a face full of emotion.
In the original timeline, after Xiao Yan consumed a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill in the Imperial Capital, he leaped from a Seven-Star Dou Shi to a Great Dou Master. Had he not previously devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame, his Foundation would have been unstable.
But the current Xiao Yan naturally didn't have those problems.
Among the pills Chen Yang left for Xiao Yan after emptying his pockets, there was one with an effect even better than the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. Combined with the effects of the accompanying purple crystal source and the Purple Flame, he was able to leap to become a Three-Star Great Dou Shi.
"If not for the pills Brother Yang left behind, the accompanying purple crystal source and Purple Flame probably would have only pushed me to Nine-Star Dou Shi at best!"
"I can never repay Brother Yang's kindness!"
Feeling the surging Fighting Qi in his body, Xiao Yan stood up, stretched his limbs, and spoke to Yao Lao.
"I don't know which Ancient Family that kid is from to have so many miraculous Pill Formulas!"
"I feel like many of the pills he brought out were specifically tailored for your Physique. Some even have traces of my own Alchemy Skill; it's quite strange."
Yao Lao looked completely baffled.
However, his alchemy style wasn't unique to him. He had dabbled in the alchemy techniques and formulas of the Medicine Clan, the Pill Tower, and other alchemy families on the Fighting Qi Continent. So, he figured that as a descendant of an Ancient Family, Chen Yang's clan elders might have had experiences similar to his own!
"Whatever, my Brother Yang is invincible under heaven. Why worry about such small things?"
Xiao Yan looked indifferent. He waved his hand to take the xuan heavy ruler out of his storage ring and strapped it to his back. Now that he had broken through to Great Dou Master, the ruler was still heavy, but it was much easier to handle than before.
"Pack up. We'll stay in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a bit longer to gather enough medicinal herbs and refine some qi recovery pills and healing pills before leaving."
"Your Alchemy Skill is only one step away from the Third Grade. Previously, you were limited by your Fighting Qi capacity and your flame. Now that your technique has evolved and you have the Purple Flame, reaching the Third Grade will be a natural progression!"
Yao Lao nodded with a smile, no longer discussing Chen Yang, and instead made plans for the final leg of Xiao Yan's journey in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Alright!"
Xiao Yan nodded, unfolded his Green Swallow Wings, and leaped up to fly out of the valley, while Yao Lao had already slipped into the bone ring.
"Teacher, do you think Nalan Yanran has broken through to Three-Star Dou Shi by now?"
As Xiao Yan flew, he suddenly asked Yao Lao.
"Hahaha..."
"Even with the assistance of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, she'll be lucky to have the strength of a Great Dou Master by the time of the Three-Year Agreement!"
"As for now..."
"Hehehe..."
Yao Lao laughed merrily. The current Xiao Yan had already far exceeded the strength planned in his original schedule. This so-called Nalan Yanran, like that Pill King Gu He, was nothing more than a fart!
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Yan laughed freely upon hearing this. The shackles of the Three-Year Agreement completely vanished at this moment... In the valley, Chen Yang easily finished refining his pills, then pulled the provocative Xiao Yi Xian over to teach her the 'riding' technique twice more.
"Xiao Yi Xian, it's time for us to leave this place!"
Chen Yang stroked Xiao Yi Xian's long black hair and spoke to her softly.
"Okay! I've wanted to see the outside world for a long time!"
"This counts as us roaming the Fighting Qi Continent together, right?"
Xiao Yi Xian said happily.
Hearing this, Chen Yang looked at her with some surprise. He thought Xiao Yi Xian might be reluctant to leave their life in the valley, but she was quite free-spirited.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Wherever you are, that's my home..."
Xiao Yi Xian leaned against Chen Yang's chest and said softly.
"Good..."
"With you here, it's home!"
...Three days later, Chen Yang organized his things, then took Xiao Yi Xian and the two Amethyst Winged Lions out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, heading straight for Blackrock City.
With the flight speed of a Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, even flying leisurely, they reached a point about fifty miles outside Blackrock City in half a day.
"You two find a place to stay outside the city first. I'll see if there's a way to shrink your size later so I can carry you with me."
Chen Yang looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and instructed.
"Yes, Master!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded, found a quiet valley nearby, drove away a Third-Tier Magical Beast that was living there, and settled in.
Chen Yang noted the Amethyst Winged Lion King's location and headed toward Blackrock City with Xiao Yi Xian...
