702. Obtain herbs
This means that the body used for resurrection should ideally be at the Dou Sheng level, and the medicinal materials used must be of the highest quality, containing enough potency to support the terrifying demands of a Heavenly Realm soul and four different flame origins during the reshaping process. Materials of this caliber are extremely rare and highly sought after!
Yan Chao's words directly struck at Xiao Yan's greatest desire at the moment!
Even with Xiao Yan's remarkable self-control, a flicker of burning desire and longing flashed in his eyes. Seeing the undisguised change in Xiao Yan's eyes, Yan Chao knew he had made the right bet! He breathed a slight sigh of relief and pressed his advantage: "Young friend, please tell this old man what medicinal herbs you require."
"Anything is fine?"
"If I have it, young friend Xiao Yan, please speak freely. The future of my Yan Clan cannot be measured by a few herbs!"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan didn't immediately make an exorbitant demand. Instead, he pondered for several breaths, rapidly reviewing all his ideas about Yao Lao's body and the requirements of known pill formulas in his mind. Finally, he named five extremely rare and precious medicinal herbs with incredibly stringent age requirements.
Each of the five herbs is an extremely rare and difficult-to-find herb, and the time required for each herb is measured in thousands of years. Even in the Pill Tower, it is not an easy task to gather them all.
Yan Chao listened attentively, and when the last medicine was named, his wrinkled old face showed no distress, but rather a barely perceptible hint of relief. He nodded slightly as he listened, and finally said decisively, "I have all of these in my storage ring; their quality and age are guaranteed to meet your requirements!"
He held a dark red metal storage ring with intricate flame runes engraved on its surface tightly in his palm. The unique Flame Clan emblem seemed to flow with flames in the dim light.
"This storage ring was personally forged by my clan chief. It cannot be opened without bloodline certification and Yan clan technique certification." Yan Chao also "casually" introduced it. After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yan to observe the other party's reaction.
Xiao Yan didn't care at all. It was normal for Yan Chao to be wary of him. As an upright man, Xiao Yan wanted fair and square transactions and disdained murder and robbery. Let Yan Chao be wary if he wanted.
Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Yan Chao felt a little relieved. He quickly took out several jade boxes, each carved from cold jade and radiating astonishing energy fluctuations. Each box was engraved with complex Dou Qi seals. To preserve the medicinal effects, Yan Chao carefully handed them to Xiao Yan.
"Young friend, please accept these herbs. Although they are rare, they are worth it as long as they can help my clan preserve our lineage! If you need anything else after this, please feel free to ask!" His words were full of goodwill.
Xiao Yan took the several cold jade boxes; they were icy and heavy in his hands. He didn't examine them on the spot. Given Yan Chao's current situation and the importance he placed on these medicinal herbs, the possibility of tampering with them was extremely low. More importantly, the other party wouldn't dare gamble his attitude with his and his two juniors' lives.
Xiao Yan flipped his palm and put the five cold jade boxes, which were emanating astonishing medicinal power, into his storage ring.
Although his face showed no excessive expression, Xiao Yan was extremely satisfied with his gains. He had gathered all the high-level herbs needed to revive Yao Lao in one go, saving himself another troublesome task.
Of course, he is still missing a body. If it were just a body at the Dou Zong level, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for Xiao Yan now.
However, with the enhancement of herbs and strange fire, it was clear that using the original body of a Dou Zong was no longer sufficient.
In truth, what Xiao Yan wanted was to obtain the body of a half-saint level expert.
If Yao Lao is resurrected, he will inevitably regain his strength. What level he can reach depends entirely on the preliminary materials prepared by Xiao Yan.
If possible, Xiao Yan would definitely prefer the highest quality.
"I accept the payment, but I don't want this to happen again!"
"Young friend Xiao Yan, please rest assured, there will absolutely be no more of this now!" Yan Chao quickly straightened his hunched back, and the embarrassment on his face was quickly replaced by solemnity.
Xiao Yan said no more. His powerful eight-star Dou Zun Dou Qi surged within him, and a vast power condensed around him. He spread his five fingers and ripped open the empty space before him!
The tranquil space before him twisted violently, then was forcibly torn open with a pitch-black spatial rift.
Compared to the long wait for a fixed route through a space wormhole, this short-distance shuttle passage created by a high-level Dou Zun tearing space apart is obviously much more convenient. Subsequently, Xiao Yan and his group of four disappeared completely in that passage.
……
Xiao Yan looked around: a lush bamboo forest stood all around, the slender bamboos straight as swords, the shadows of the leaves swaying, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of bamboo.
"Is this the place?" Xiao Yan looked at the bamboo forest beside him, somewhat surprised. He had scanned it several times with his Heavenly Realm Soul, but he didn't sense anything amiss.
If he came here searching without being told anything, Xiao Yan felt he wouldn't get any results. His vigilance increased even more. After all, the Yan Clan was a family descended from Dou Di, and even if they had suffered heavy losses, they were still a formidable force.
"It's all for safety's sake," Yan Chao's voice rang out from the side.
As they approached the Yan Clan's settlement, Yan Chao felt much happier. The fact that a young man of Xiao Yan's extraordinary talent couldn't see through the situation filled him with pride.
Then Yan Chao's fighting spirit stirred, and a bright flame rune appeared in his palm.
Xiao Yan clearly felt that the scene before him had changed. All the bamboo and wood seemed to form a great array, the array was perfectly formed, and the runes in Yan Chao's hand became the key node guiding this great array.
A moment later, a huge spatial vortex, about ten feet in size, unfolded in front of the three of them. Xiao Yan could sense that "behind the spatial vortex, there is another separate space."
Only Dou Sheng level experts possess the ability to create their own space; ordinary forces shouldn't even dream of it. This is one of the most important trump cards of Dou Di descendant families.
"Young friend Xiao Yan, this is the place. Please come in!"
Xiao Yan was initially still somewhat agitated, but as he approached the spatial vortex, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame transmitted a familiar fluctuation to him.
Fire Spirit is here after all!
Without further hesitation, Xiao Yan and the other two, Yan Chao, flashed into the spatial vortex.
After the spatial shift and fluctuations, upon arrival, Xiao Yan felt a strange, fiery impact. This impact was not offensive, but it was filled with repulsion and a warning—a powerful fire elemental was guarding the core of this place.
"Um?"
