Chapter 65 - Fortune Favors the Bold

"Impatient?" Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of confusion.

"Do you think, given my relationship with the Yaozu Clan, I'd willingly give that little girl an opportunity? Even if it's just a wisp of a sub-flame?"

A smile crept across the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's face.

"Well, with your personality, you certainly wouldn't." Xiao Yan nodded.

This person was vindictive, and his moods shifted unpredictably. He definitely wouldn't tolerate such a loss.

"That Yin-Yang Twin Flames does indeed contain a trace of the Yin-Yang Holy Flame's origin, but I've done a little something to it. Only one of them has the origin of the Yang Flame." The Yin-Yang Evil Saint's smile was mysterious and inscrutable.

"Once you've refined this Yin-Yang Holy Flame, you can use this woman to experience the wonders of this saint's Yin-Yang Holy Scripture and Yin-Yang Holy Flame."

"Uh… this…" Xiao Yan's face showed a serious expression. "This matter is definitely not something a gentleman would do."

"Are you a gentleman? You, kid, are fundamentally shameless. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you my inheritance."

The Yin-Yang Evil Saint glanced at Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's previously serious face.

"You really see through people!"

"Heh heh." The Yin-Yang Evil Saint let out a strange laugh.

"Heh heh." Xiao Yan also followed with two strange laughs.

A moment later, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a flat area of the Plaza. Before him, two fish swam, one yin and one yang, their movements embodying the natural essence of the Dao.

Xiao Yan gently tapped his Storage Ring, and several treasures immediately flew out.

Absorbing a different flame was extremely dangerous. Even though the Yin-Yang Holy Flame before him had been heavily depleted by the Yin-Yang Evil Saint, it still possessed terrifying destructive power.

If it were to erupt with its full force, even a Dou Zun would have to avoid it.

Fortunately, this flame had been modified by the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's Soul Mark, making it quite docile towards Xiao Yan.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan himself had an incredibly deep background, and the precious treasures he possessed were also formidable.

A "pay-to-win" player often had the confidence to back it up.

He first took out a jade bottle that was half his height, then dug a circular trench in the ground, pouring the snow-white liquid from the bottle into it.

The crystal-clear liquid, as it poured from the bottle, immediately released a chilling aura, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. The ground was already beginning to ice over.

Ice Spirit Cold Spring. It was a precious liquid that formed beneath underground cold veins. It was quite rare outside, but not considered a treasure within the Xiao Clan.

The Xiao Clan had a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) expert who cultivated ice-attribute Dou Qi. He once used the immense power of a Dou Sheng to forge an icy mountain range. The mountain range naturally fostered the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which, after a century of accumulation, had transformed into an Ice Spirit Cold Pool.

Within it, an eighth-rank magical beast, the Ice Sky Demon Dragon, was raised.

Before Xiao Yan left, he had prepared a full ten bottles of this.

Next, he stuffed a ruby the size of a ping pong ball into his mouth.

Na Ling (Spirit Gathering). It was a precious treasure extracted from high-grade Na Stones, even more valuable than the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. However, his grandfather, Xiao Lin, had one the size of a human head.

Even the most precious things were relative, depending on who you compared them to.

After sensing the Na Ling being refined into his body, Xiao Yan took out the last jade bottle and opened it.

As soon as the jade bottle was opened, a ray of light shot out, but Xiao Yan grabbed it in his hand.

A peak grade seven pill, the Jade Blood Golden Pill. This pill was a blood lotus pill plus, a classic treasure to assist in refining different flames. Although it was peak grade seven, its value was not inferior to ordinary grade eight pills.

This pill came from Yao Lao's hand. To cultivate his precious disciple, Yao Lao was quite willing to pay the price.

With the three treasures prepared, Xiao Yan looked up at the two swimming fish.

Even though they were much weaker, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames still emitted a terrifying temperature. If this place hadn't been reinforced by the power of a Dou Sheng, even space would have been warped by the flames.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth and swallowed the Jade Blood Golden Pill.

As soon as the Jade Blood Golden Pill entered his stomach, Xiao Yan felt a cool, strange energy moving through his body. Then, the energy within the Jade Blood Golden Pill quickly covered Xiao Yan's meridians and internal organs, protecting them.

A moment later, streaks of jade-green energy, resembling crystal, began to seep from Xiao Yan's pores, swiftly enveloping his entire body.

Soon after appearing, this energy rapidly condensed, ultimately forming a translucent, jade-green protective layer.

This protective layer enveloped not only Xiao Yan's hands and feet but also completely sealed his eyes.

The crystalline shield resembled an impenetrable jade-green armor, tightly encasing Xiao Yan.

It's starting, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, calming his inner nervousness.

Even with all the preparations, including the resistance to flames provided by the Crimson Flame Demon Body and the protection of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint, Xiao Yan still felt a twinge of anxiety.

After all, this was the most ferocious flame essence in the world, possessing terrifying destructive power. Swallowing it was akin to having an ordinary person swallow a hand grenade.

"Forget it. With all these preparations, if I still fail, how can I become a Dou Di? I'm just dreaming."

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

In his previous life, after his career had achieved some success, his former relatives and friends always thought he was just lucky. They didn't know how many times he had been ruthless, how much he had sacrificed.

Wealth, power, status, women – all of these were obtained step by step through ruthless choices.

If you don't dare to risk your life, how can you talk about wealth and prosperity?

After only a brief pause, a suction force erupted from his palm, drawing the two fish into his hand. Feeling the restraint in his palm, the two originally docile little fish began to become restless. The terrifying temperature instantly caused Xiao Yan's azure armor to show signs of melting.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan showed no fear. Instead, he snorted coldly and directly swallowed the two fish into his stomach.

As the Yin-Yang Holy Flame entered his mouth, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned pale. That terrifying temperature, even with the protection of the Jade Blood Golden Pill's energy, still caused a wave of throbbing pain in his meridians.

Ignoring this pain, a look of ferocity appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he immediately closed his eyes and immersed his mind within his body.

Within his chaotic body, two fish, one black and one white, transformed into two wisps of flame, wildly surging within. Fortunately, Xiao Yan possessed Dou Huang level Dou Qi and a soul comparable to a Grade 7 mid-level alchemist, allowing him to barely control them.

"No matter what kind of beast you are, you're going to submit to me today!" With a mental roar, Xiao Yan directed the two wisps of flame to circulate through his meridians.

At this moment, the terrifying aspects of a Grade 7 pill became apparent. Even while battling the Yin-Yang Holy Flame, which was comparable to the 13th or 14th ranked flames on the Strange Fire Ranking, the Jade Blood Golden Pill continuously released abundant emerald green energy.

Despite the terrifying temperature of the Yin-Yang Holy Flame, it stubbornly protected Xiao Yan's body as much as possible.

However, even so, the terrifying heat still twisted Xiao Yan's meridians, the pain of which only he knew.

In the ancient city, everything was silent, save for a floating soul quietly suppressing a bizarre corpse.

Of course, there were also occasional muffled grunts from the young man.

Looking at the pale-faced, yet still ruthless, young man, a hint of admiration appeared on the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's face.

Passing this hurdle signifies the true transformation from a genius to a powerhouse!
