139: Xiao Yan: I don’t want it, I’ll just take a look

When the dust raised by the Snow Demon Sky Ape dissipated, Lin Xiu's figure was revealed.

He was holding a giant hammer, which made him look a bit strange standing next to the fallen Snow Demon Sky Ape.

Even lying on the ground, the Snow Demon Sky Ape was still very large.

"Is it over? Junior Brother's strength is that immense? Even Demonic Beasts can't withstand it?"

For a moment, Han Yue couldn't find words to describe her feelings.

"Brother Hao, the hammer is yours."

Turning around, Lin Xiu made to toss the hammer to him.

"No, no, don't!"

Yan Hao waved his hands repeatedly, jogging over to Lin Xiu and personally taking the hammer.

If it had been thrown and he hadn't caught it, he might have died on the spot.

The others saw Yan Hao put away the hammer and came over.

Someone kicked the lifeless Snow Demon Sky Ape several times.

"Seniors, its demonic core is useful to me," Lin Xiu said with a smile.

"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to do anything with it anyway. If you want it, take it. I have no objections," Lin Xiuya said.

"I'm with him on this."

Yan Hao shrugged.

The other few also indicated that Lin Xiu could arrange it as he wished.

Their main objective for this trip was the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid; that was what they cared about.

"Oh, by the way, brother, who are you? How did you end up in this vicinity? You look so young, you must be from the Inner Academy, right?"

Yan Hao's gaze shifted to the black-robed youth not far away.

The latter nodded, a smile on his face, and was about to speak when a voice, filled with surprise, spoke first.

"Xiao Yan, why are you here?"

Han Yue recognized him at a glance.

Previously in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, Elder Liu had compared the time she endured with his.

She felt Xiao Yan had good talent, and being a newly admitted student, she tried to recruit him to join Moon Spirit.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan ultimately refused and instead founded Pan Gate.

"He's Xiao Yan?"

"The Xiao Yan who almost led the new students to overturn the old student teams and the Black and White Guardians in this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition?"

"No wonder he could withstand a blow from the Snow Demon Sky Ape and not die. I was wondering when the Inner Academy got such a powerful figure."

Hearing Han Yue's words, Yan Hao, Lin Xiuya, and the others couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan with new respect.

During this time, Pan Gate had gained immense fame in the Inner Academy, first provoking the Bai Gang, then clashing with the Medicine Gang over selling Medicinal Pills.

In the end, it was Xiao Yan who, relying on his personal strength, successfully refined a fifth-grade Dragon Power Pill and defeated Han Xian, the leader of the Medicine Gang.

Regardless of Xiao Yan's performance in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, just being able to refine a fifth-grade Dragon Power Pill made him worth befriending.

After all, he was a fifth-grade Alchemist.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Xiao Yan smiled humbly, "Hello everyone, Senior Brother Lin Xiu, long time no see."

"That person was you?"

Lin Xiu was startled, feigning ignorance, a hint of concern on his face, "You were hit by the Snow Demon Sky Ape, are you injured? Is it serious?"

Xiao Yan waved his hand, "It's nothing, I'll be fine after taking some Medicinal Pills."

However, the reality was that if Yao Chen hadn't intervened in time, he would have been peacefully asleep like the Snow Demon Sky Ape by now.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, why are you in this vicinity?" Yan Hao's expression changed slightly as he asked again.

Lin Xiuya, Han Yue, and the others around him also showed the same nervous expression.

When did Xiao Yan arrive?

Did he hear the news about the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid?

"I was Cultivating nearby and heard some commotion, so I came over out of curiosity."

Xiao Yan said truthfully.

Seeing everyone's expressions stiffen slightly and their eyes shift, he quickly added, "Seniors, don't worry, I did hear about the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid, but I haven't done anything, and I won't be presumptuous enough to ask for a share."

When he finished speaking.

Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Someone could resist the temptation of the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid?

Lin Xiu was also slightly stunned.

Just as everyone relaxed, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke again, "Seniors, may I make a small request?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Lin Xiuya nodded, "Tell us first."

"Well, I've only ever heard of the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid. Can I come with you to witness it later?"

Xiao Yan slowly said.

I don't want it, I just want to see it?

Lin Xiuya was taken aback, his gaze sweeping over the others. Seeing no objections, he agreed to the request.

"Senior Sister, you all go first. I'll take care of this big guy and be right there."

Lin Xiu pulled out a sharp knife, rolled up his sleeves, and stood beside the Snow Demon Sky Ape, studying where to start.

"Lin Xiu, you're just spoiling Zi Yan. Once you've made her taste buds too picky, there might not even be a shadow of a Demonic Beast left near the Inner Academy in the future."

Yan Hao understood what he was going to do as soon as he saw his stance.

The others also smiled, not forcing him, nor intending to wait.

As soon as the Demonic Beast was dealt with, their thoughts had already drifted to the cave inside.

"Zi Yan?"

Hearing the unfamiliar name, Xiao Yan remained calm, thinking that once he returned to the academy, he would ask Lin Yan about her.

Senior Brother Lin Xiu seems to dote on this Zi Yan immensely. If I can get on good terms with her, perhaps it will bring me closer to Senior Brother.

Speaking of finding someone, almost three months had passed, yet he still hadn't found the person who stole the azure wood immortal vine.

Is he stringing me along?

Following behind the group, Xiao Yan entered the cave.

"Teacher, will they really not be able to distinguish the true Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid?"

Xiao Yan secretly scanned the backs of the several people searching ahead, asking nervously in his mind.

According to the original plan, he intended to take the opportunity to save Senior Sister Han Yue, naturally join the group, and then get a share.

However, to Xiao Yan and Yao Chen's surprise, even though Lin Xiu was pushed away, he quickly rushed ahead and rescued Han Yue from danger.

At the time, even Yao Chen couldn't help but curse when he saw the situation.

He had wandered the continent for so many years; what kind of Genius hadn't he seen?

However.

Facing Lin Xiu, his understanding was refreshed again and again.

It had only been half a year since he obtained the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, yet Lin Xiu had actually Cultivated the Three Thousand Lightning Movement to the Lightning Blink Realm.

One must know, as one of the signature Fighting Skills of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in the Central Plains.

The Three Thousand Lightning Movement was roughly divided into three stages.

The entry level was Lightning Flash, where one's movement was as fast as lightning. Above that was Lightning Blink, where one was like a shadow wherever the electric light reached.

And one level higher was the Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

Upon reaching this Realm, one could traverse space silently, almost like teleportation.

Even a Dou Zong would be left in the dust when faced with such speed.

Yao Chen had some understanding of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, but he couldn't guarantee that even with his guidance, Xiao Yan, upon obtaining this Fighting Skill, could catch up to Lin Xiu's Cultivation progress.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Chen responded with a confident and steady tone:

"Put your mind at ease. Although many people on the continent know about the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid, only a very few know the true and false Earth Core Fluid.

Usually, only Alchemists with extremely high alchemy knowledge would understand this point.

Regarding this, some call it a self-protective illusion of a Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Treasure."

When it came to alchemy, Yao Chen was always extremely confident.

He had already observed that there were no Alchemists among these few people.

Xiao Yan's earlier request to follow and observe was based on this idea.

Once Lin Xiuya and the others took the fake Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid, Xiao Yan would wait for them to leave and then return.

"With your words, then I have nothing to worry about."

Xiao Yan's lips curled slightly.
