Thinking about Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan instantly forgot that his body still hadn’t fully recovered.

He jumped off the bed in excitement and said, ”If that’s the case, as long as we can get Lin Feng to tell us who lent him the Heavenly Flame, wouldn’t that mean I have a chance to get that person’s Heavenly Flame!”

”In theory, that’s true.”

Seeing how excited Xiao Yan was, Xuan Yi smiled and shook her head. ”But Lin Feng definitely won’t tell you that enemy so easily. He knows you’re obsessed with Heavenly Flames.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan grinned with confidence, ”Xiao Yixian has the Woeful Poison Body, right? Then we can use that. With that as leverage, Lin Feng will have to tell us who the owner of that Heavenly Flame is.”

”That could indeed work. How you use this information is up to you.”

Xuan Kongzi didn’t object. Instead, he let Xiao Yan decide how to make use of this opportunity. No sooner had he finished speaking than Xuan Yi continued, ”Also, we finally have some clues about your master.”

”What?!”

Hearing that, Xiao Yan’s expression instantly filled with joy. He hurriedly asked, ”Aunt Xuan, where is my master now? I’ll go find a way to rescue him immediately!”

He had always valued Yao Chen greatly, the man who first led him onto the path of cultivation. Now, hearing that his master, who had been taken by the Hall of Souls for years, finally had some news, Xiao Yan could no longer contain his excitement.

Seeing his anxious expression, Xuan Yi nodded in relief before smiling softly, ”Don’t be in a rush. I’ve already sent people to confirm it. At most two months, and we’ll receive definite news.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan finally calmed down a little.

Then, after thinking for a moment and recalling how his Eight-Star Dou Zong strength had been utterly crushed by Eighth Tian Zun in the Star Region, he clenched his fists and said, ”In that case, I can use this time to raise my strength. When it’s time to rescue my master, I’ll have more confidence!”

Thinking of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame he had yet to absorb, a sharp gleam flashed through Xiao Yan’s eyes. The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame ranked twelfth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, just one rank lower than his master’s Bone Chilling Flame.

If he could absorb it, his strength would definitely skyrocket!

Hearing this, the Three Leaders all nodded in agreement.

Right after, Xuan Kongzi added, ”But before anything else, heal your injuries first. I’ve already forced out the poison in your body, but your body was nearly ruined by it. You’ll need time to recover.”

”Mm.”

After sensing the terrible condition inside his body, Xiao Yan nodded.

He was extremely familiar with Heavenly Flames. And he knew very well that absorbing the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in his current state was basically suicide. So of course, healing came first. He wasn’t about to gamble with his life.

Seeing this, Xuan Kongzi said, ”In that case, we’ll go handle the Pill Tower matters. Earlier, while the three of us were maintaining the Star Region, the Hall of Souls experts caused massive destruction inside Holy Pill City and killed many seventh-tier and lower alchemists. We’re going to be busy for a while.”

He finished speaking and prepared to leave the room.

But just as he was about to step out, he suddenly remembered something and stopped. Then, he wiped his storage ring lightly and took out a corpse.

The moment that corpse appeared, a faint soul-shade flew out from it.

”Senior, you’re alive, that’s great!”

Xiao Yan had been confused when Xuan Kongzi suddenly took out a dead body, but the moment he saw the soul’s appearance, he was immediately stunned and overjoyed.

He had originally thought that this Two-Star Dou Zun, after being defeated by the Eighth Tian Zun, would have been captured by the Hall of Souls.

He didn’t expect him to show up here alive!

”Sigh, I just got lucky. After that Hall of Souls Dou Zun blasted me away, I happened to encounter Leader Xuan Kongzi. Otherwise, with my soul body in this state, I’d probably have been torn apart by the spatial storms in the void.”

The Two-Star Dou Zun let out a bitter laugh as he spoke. At the same time, he couldn’t help regretting why he had ever accepted that job in the first place.

Now, forget alchemy, he didn’t even have a physical body anymore. In this condition, he couldn’t replenish any strength at all. At most a few decades, and he would completely disappear from this world.

Thinking of this, the old man spoke with a pleading tone, ”Everyone... with how I am now, I can’t do anything anymore. I just hope that, considering how I fought desperately back then, you can give my family some compensation.”

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi instead smiled mysteriously and said calmly, ”Compensation, of course, you’ll get it. But it won’t be for your family. It’s for you.”

”For me?”

The Two-Star Dou Zun froze for a moment, then said in confusion, ”Look at my state. Even if you gave me a nine-colored eighth-tier Pill, there’s no way I can be revived!”

Although he was only a peak seventh-tier alchemist, he still understood some things.

There were many pills out there claiming they could bring the dead back to life, but pills that could truly revive someone didn’t exist.

At least, he had never heard of one.

”Hehe, Xiao Yan happens to know a secret technique that can help a soul-form body rebuild a new physical body.”

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi smiled as he explained things to the Two-Star Dou Zun.

After all, Xiao Yan was still too weak. When the time came to rescue Yao Chen from the Hall of Souls branch, he would need Dou Zun–level help.

But going against the Hall of Souls meant that it was nearly impossible to find helpers. So with this ready-made helper in front of them, they naturally had to make proper use of him.

As he spoke, Xuan Kongzi also shot Xiao Yan a meaningful look, signaling him to take this Dou Zun under his wing.

”Is that really true!”

Hearing that he still had a chance to be reborn, the Two-Star Dou Zun looked at Xiao Yan with eyes full of hope.

Immediately, he clasped his fists and said, ”Brother Xiao Yan, as long as you can help me regain a physical body, I’ll go through fire or climb a mountain of blades for you! Whatever you say, I will obey without hesitation!”

Although his current state had something to do with Xiao Yan, he had no intention of blaming him.

He was the one begging now, so naturally, he put himself in a very humble position. After all, to him, recovering his physical body was the most important thing right now. Otherwise, with his current soul state, he would last at most a few decades.

After that, once his soul origin was completely depleted, he would dissipate into nothingness.
