Xiao Yan knew that the person before him was definitely not simple, but what was more terrifying than a powerful opponent was the unknown. At the very least, he needed to figure out why this person was hiding among the crowd and why he had attacked Song Qing.
Seeing that Xiao Yan did not give way, the gray-robed man charged towards him. With a thought, Xiao Yan surrounded the gray-robed man with blood-red flames.
The gray-robed man gazed at the raging sea of fire, his eyes filled with curiosity: "Red Lotus Karmic Fire?"
Then, Xiao Yan watched as the gray-robed man's figure flashed by in an instant, passing through the barrier of the flames he had released unscathed, and arriving beside Xiao Yan the next moment.
Xiao Yan was also extremely shocked at this moment. The latter was so fast that if he wanted to leave, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him at all.
The gray-robed man had already gotten close to Xiao Yan, and a scorching aura rushed towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan wanted to stop him, but he felt that the temperature of his blood had suddenly increased, and even his body had become strangely hot.
A black vortex appeared in Xiao Yan's palm, swallowing the strange, scorching aura. By the time Xiao Yan tried to control the gray-robed man again, the latter had already appeared at a distance beyond Xiao Yan's reach.
"Don't worry, we'll have a chance to meet again!"
Having said that, his figure vanished completely. Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with apprehension; the man's unpredictable methods were truly alarming. The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire seemed to have no effect on him, and his movements were so ghostly that no trace could be detected. Not to mention his previous deliberate sneak attack, in which he had perfectly concealed his aura.
"The people of the Pill Tower are truly extraordinary..." Xiao Yan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
However, Xiao Yan had no intention of continuing the pursuit, because he had already sensed that Xuan Yi had arrived.
"You're here?" Xuan Yi asked immediately upon seeing Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Aunt Xuan, there's something I want to ask you..."
Xuan Yi interrupted Xiao Yan directly: "I can't tell you the specifics of the person you just fought, but you'll meet him at the Pill Gathering."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gleaned a great deal from Xuan Yi's reply. Xuan Yi clearly knew who he had just briefly fought, but for deeper reasons, he couldn't tell him right now.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Xuan Yi's brief words revealed an unwavering protectiveness.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and said, "Xiao Yan understands, but I've come here today to ask for your help."
"Is there a master craftsman specializing in forging medicinal cauldrons within the Pill Tower?"
Xuan Yi nodded and said, "You should be looking for the blacksmith Haika. Didn't Yao Chen prepare a medicine cauldron for you? You can come to my place to choose one. Take it if you like it."
Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed at this moment, scratching his head and saying, "Xuan Yi, you misunderstand. I have another request for Elder Hai."
Xuan Yi didn't ask any more questions and led Xiao Yan to a huge room on the seventh floor of the Pill Tower.
Upon entering, Xiao Yan immediately sensed a massive amount of fire-attribute Dou Qi energy brewing within the room, far more concentrated than outside. Closing his eyes and sensing it briefly, Xiao Yan discovered that the fire energy within the room wasn't dissipating at all, but rather steadily increasing in a very subtle manner.
Upon Xuan Yi's arrival, two burly men greeted him respectfully: "President Xuan Yi!"
"Let your teacher come out and see me," Xuan Yi instructed.
"Haika is a descendant of a giant of the Pill Tower. After his birth, detection showed that his fire-attribute battle aura contained no wood attribute at all, but rather a considerable amount of metal attribute energy. Furthermore, because both his parents were alchemists, his soul power was exceptionally strong from birth. Therefore, after continuous training, he became the most important blacksmith in the Pill Tower!"
"But he has quite a temper, and sometimes even I can't force him to do anything. What do you need today?"
Xiao Yan then revealed his request for a gift he planned to give to Little Fairy Doctor. Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi not only didn't reprimand Xiao Yan, but his eyes showed considerable satisfaction: "I doubt anyone in the entire Holy Pill City, except for Hai Ka, could fulfill your request."
"It's good that it's you. If anyone else dared to make such a request to him, he probably wouldn't even bother to listen."
Before Xiao Yan could ask any more questions, a man strode out.
The man's upper body was completely naked, his incredibly powerful, steel-like muscles most striking, and his bronze skin was covered in sweat. On the right side of his body was a large, ferocious rhinoceros tattoo, which seemed to pulsate with the man's breath. Xiao Yan quickly sensed that the latter's strength was likely no less than Tang Zhen of Burning Flame Valley; the depth of the Pill Tower's foundation was truly unbelievable.
"President Xuan Yi, you rarely come here. Are you here today to forge a medicinal cauldron?"
Xuan Yi shook his head as well: "It's not that I have any requests today."
The man's gaze then fell on Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side in black. Xiao Yan realized that the person in front of him was Haika: "Master Haika, I would like to ask you to create something."
"What is it? Tell me."
Xiao Yan then stated his requirements in detail, only to receive a glare from Haika: "Boring, not interested, sorry, President Xuan Yi."
After Haika finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Xuan Yi wasn't in a hurry at all. He smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Yan, show me your strange fire, all of it!"
As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, Hai Ka's steps seemed to be frozen in place. Then he turned his head and saw the purple-red lotus heart flame blooming in Xiao Yan's palm.
Haika excitedly took two steps to stand in front of Xiao Yan, looking at the quietly swirling purplish-red flames with eyes that seemed to be gazing at a peerless beauty with stunning looks, his mouth watering.
"What kind of flame is this? There shouldn't be such a purplish-red flame on the list of strange flames!" Haika was also very puzzled.
"Indeed, no." Xiao Yan smiled slightly: "Because this is a flame formed after the fusion of three different flames!"
Upon hearing this, Haika's eyes widened instantly, and his broad palm immediately touched the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame. Despite the protection of his battle qi, charred black smoke still emanated from his palm.
"Excellent! This temperature is indeed much stronger than the Three Thousand Burning Flames." Haika laughed heartily. "This time, Haika has to thank President Xuanyi for sending me such a flame."
He then patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "Young brother, as long as you have the needs, I'll forge eight or ten items for you!"
