"Old Jia, why have you awakened me again? Didn't I tell you that my strength has greatly diminished and I 't be of much help? I don't even possess the strength of a Dou Emperor anymore." The Serene Sea Scaly Beast slightly disgruhunderous voice echoed across the ke as soon as it appeared.

  Like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the Serene Sea Scaly Beast could uand human speed possessed siderable intelligence.

  Standing atop the ke's surface, Jia Xing Tian looked up and smiled at the Serene Sea Scaly Beast. "Old friend, I'm not disturbing you without reason. This is Grandmaster Xiao Yan, an alchemist who possesses a Heavenly Fme. He might be able to help you."

  "Oh? An alchemist with a Heavenly Fme?" Having lived for tless years, the Serene Sea Scaly Beast naturally uood the significe of a Heavenly Fme. An alchemist possessing one was undoubtedly incredibly powerful.

  "This kid? A tier 6 alchemist?" The Serene Sea Scaly Beast followed Jia Xing Tian's pointing finger and saw Xiao Yan smiling at it. Immediately, it was filled with doubt.

  After all, how old could Xiao Yahe Mixed Bone Molding Pill was a tier 6 medial pill. Even with a Heavenly Fme, could such a young d possibly refiier 6 pill?

  Xiao Yan smiled and said, "This junior's name is Xiao Yaeen years old this year. I barely be sidered a 5th-tier alchemist."

  "Eighteen years old! Tier 5?!!" Even the long-lived Serene Sea Scaly Beast's pupils tracted in shock upon hearing Xiao Yan's words. It could hardly believe that aeen-year-old youth was already a 5th-tier alchemist!

  This was too unbelievable!

  Princess Yao Ye asked, "Grandmaster Xiao Yan, we'd like you to see if there's any other way to treat the Serene Sea Scaly Beast's old injuries besides the Mixed Bone Molding Pill."

  Chairman Fa Ma had naturally exami before and suggested using the tier 6 Mixed Bone Molding Pill. However, the only person iire Jia Ma Empire capable of refining tier 6 pills was Gu He, and he was an Elder of the Misty Cloud Seaturally, he wouldn't help the imperial family restore the Serene Sea Scaly Beast's strength.

  Therefore, Princess Yao Ye wao invite Xiao Yan to see if there was any alternative besides the Mixed Bone Molding Pill.

  Xiao Yan he terrifyiage Mortal State Spiritual Strength burst forth from his body and instantly caused ripples te across the entire ke's surface.

  "What terrifying Spiritual Strength!"

  "Why do I feel like this Spiritual Strength might even surpass Chairman Fa Ma's!"

  The powerful Spiritual Strength peed the Serene Sea Scaly Beast's entire body and tinuously diag.

  The inparably vast Spiritual Strength slowly sed, thhly probing all the hidden injuries and potential problems within its body.

  However, the more Xiao Yan examihe deeper his frown became.

  "How is it, Grandmaster Xiao Yan?" Yao Ye asked nervously.

  Xiao Yan shook his head and replied, "I'm afraid there's no other way. The Serene Sea Scaly Beast has fought tless battles over the years, leaving too many old injuries. Some of these injuries have even affected its bloodline, causing issues with its floon lineage. Only the Mixed Bone Molding Pill will suffipletely restore its strength."

  Yao Ye and Jia Xing Tian both sighed inwardly. Ten years ago, they had received the same answer when they sought out Chairman Fa Ma. They had even goo great lengths, sparing no expeo obtain the pill recipe for the Mixed Bone Molding Pill from a higher-level Alchemist Association.

  "May I ask, Grandmaster Xiao Yan, how long would it take you to reach tier 6?" Yao Ye asked.

  "Tier 6? About two years," Xiao Yan shrugged after p for a moment.

  "Is that so? It would take two years... Huh?! Two years!!" Yao Ye suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Yan, thinking she must have misheard!

  Jia Xing Tian and the Serene Sea Scaly Beast also stared at Xiao Yan with astonished expressions, suspeg he had misspoken!

  One had to know that Fa Ma had been at the peak of tier 5 for many years. The champions of the Alchemist Graing were not only Xiao Yan and Gu He, but in all these years, only Gu He had reached tier 6.

  From just entering tier 5 to tier 6 in two years?!!

  Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, indig that he hadn't misspoken.

  In fact, he was being servative. For alchemists, improving fire trol and Spiritual Strength were the most troublesome aspects. Over so many years, Fa Ma's progress in Spiritual Strength had been as slow as a snail's pace.

  But he was different. His Spiritual Strength and fire trol had already reached the tier 6 level! What he cked was simply experiend time in alchemy.

  Now that he had obtained a rge amount of tier 5 medial ingredients, reag the peak of tier 5 would be no problem at all. However, reag tier 6 would require gathering new, higher-grade ingredients.

  If he had access to suffit medial ingredients, Xiao Yan evehat he could reach tier 6 within half a year and be capable of refining the Mixed Bone Molding Pill!

  "Grandmaster Xiao Yan, if possible, please allow the imperial family to provide you with the medial ingredients you need for alchemy." Princess Yao Ye suddenly grasped Xiao Yan's hands, her eyes filled with ear appeal.

  Feeling her slightly cool, jade-like hands and her pleading gaze, Xiao Yan merely smiled aly withdrew his hands.

  "My apologies, Princess Yao Ye, but I'm afraid in two months' time I must depart Jia Ma Sacred City aurn to Jia Nan Academy to tinue my studies. My purpose in ing to Jia Ma Sacred City this time was only to fulfill some promises." Xiao Yan's tone was her servile nor overbearing, not swayed by the bes before him or the beauty's pleading eyes.

  He couldn't, like Gu He, join a particur fa. After all, he wasn't solely an alchemist; alchemy was just one of his auxiliary skills. He would tio cultivate and grow stronger.

  As for Heavenly Fmes, Xiao Yahat one could never have too many, and his Fme Mantra had yet to evolve to its limit.

  Princess Yao Ye's beautiful eyes instantly dimmed upon hearing his words. She looked at him helplessly and said, "I really wish I could fine Grandmaster Xiao Yan within the pace."

  Xiao Yan gave a wry smile and said, "Although I 't heal the Serene Sea Scaly Beast's injuries, I help trol them and prevent the dition from worsening for three years. In three years' time, perhaps Chairman Fa Ma will have broken through to tier 6."

  The Serene Sea Scaly Beast excimed, "You trol my injuries and prevent them from deteriorating further?!"

  Xiao Yan slowly stretched out his palm with a faint smile, and with a whoosh, a mass of blood-red fme instantly burst forth from his hand.

  The Serene Sea Scaly Beast, which usually detested fmes, looked curiously at the blood-red fme in Xiao Yan's palm and said, "How odd. Why do I not dislike this fme at all? Instead, I feel a slight sense of closeo it."

  "This is the Ten Thousa Fme, a kind of Heavenly Fme. It strengthen a magical beast's body and activate its bloodline, so it's retively friendly to magical beasts," Xiao Yan expined.

  He unfurled his Eagle Wings and slowly hovered above the Serene Sea Scaly Beast's head. "In a moment, I'll let the Ten Thousa Fme enter your body to stabilize your bloodline and eliminate some stagnant blood. This way, your injuries won't worsen for the hree years."

  Xiao Yan was already well-versed in using Heavenly Fmes to treat injuries, having do several times before. The treatment process went smoothly without any mishaps.

  "Ah, that feels great! Kid, you're quite capable," the Serene Sea Scaly Beast said with a look of te. The pain wrag its body had truly lessened siderably.

  Witnessing Xiao Yan's abilities, Yao Ye and Jia Xing Tian exged gnces and o each other in silent agreement.

  Yao Ye took out a red scroll from her ste ring and ha to Xiao Yan. "Grandmaster Xiao Yan, this is the pill recipe for the Mixed Bone Molding Pill that our imperial family obtained from the Alchemist Association at great expehis ste ring also tains three sets of ingredients for refining the Mixed Bone Molding Pill."

  "If one day Grandmaster Xiao Yan refihe Mixed Bone Molding Pill, I hope you refine one and send it to us. At that time, Yao Ye will surely reward you generously."

  Xiao Yan looked at the recipe and ingredients before him with a strange expression on his face. He had only e to the imperial pace, yet someone was giving him a pill recipe and medial ingredients again?

  How could I have the face to accept this!
