7: Getting to know Xiao Yan was very rewarding!

The next second, with a bang, Mu Li and the others couldn't bear the burden, exploding into blood mist and dissipating into the world, as if they had never existed.

Xiao Yan's throat rolled, his eyes filled with horror. A casual strike, killing invisibly—a Dou Huang expert was indeed terrifying!

After dealing with Mu Li and the others, Jiang Luo's gaze also fell on Xiao Yan, "And you two!"

"Your Excellency Dou Huang, please spare us! We didn't destroy your teacher's tombstone; it was all Mu Li's doing!" Feeling the intense killing intent, Xiao Yan quickly argued.

"Stealing the relics I buried for my teacher, was that also Mu Li's doing?" Jiang Luo's cold voice carried a hint of scrutiny.

"I..." Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but found he couldn't speak.

The Flight Dou Technique was hidden in his storage ring; he had been caught red-handed.

Anything he said now would sound pale and powerless.

"Go and be buried with my teacher!"

Jiang Luo's eyes slightly lifted, and terrifying pressure poured down, directly pressing on Xiao Yan's face.

Xiao Yan immediately felt his scalp tingle. Under this pressure, he probably wouldn't last even a breath before following in Mu Li's footsteps.

"Teacher, save me!" Xiao Yan urgently cried out in his heart.

"Alas, blessings are not misfortunes, and misfortunes cannot be avoided!" Yao Lao sighed.

Immediately, he activated the Body Possession skill.

Xiao Yan's aura instantly surged, reaching Peak Dou Huang in the blink of an eye.

The two Dou Qi attacks collided with a roar, shaking dust from the cave.

After a few breaths, the aftermath receded, and Xiao Yan's body retreated dozens of steps before he could barely withstand the terrifying pressure.

The power of Jiang Luo was evident!

"Finally willing to come out." Jiang Luo looked at Xiao Yan's surging aura, not surprised in the slightest.

"Your Excellency, why be so aggressive!"

Yao Lao's voice came from within Xiao Yan's body. Although his tone was firm, his heart was secretly vigilant.

Although it was only a preliminary test, Yao Lao knew very well that even with his Soul Body possessing Xiao Yan, he was no match for Jiang Luo.

"Hehe, you stole my things, and you still have the nerve to say I'm in the wrong?" Jiang Luo chuckled in anger.

Everything in this cave was a relic left to him by his teacher, not some ownerless item!

"Teacher, what should we do? If it really won't work, I don't want this thing anymore!"

Cornered, Xiao Yan looked anxious. He could feel Jiang Luo's power, far beyond what he and his teacher could contend with.

"I'm afraid that's the only way." Yao Lao said in a deep voice.

Now, he could only hope that returning the items would ease the other party's anger, otherwise, it would be difficult to end well today.

Xiao Yan mustered his courage and stepped forward, shouting, "Senior, Junior did not know these were ownerless items before. Now I return them to their rightful owner. Please forgive Junior and do not hold it against me!"

Saying that, he took out the Flight Dou Technique.

Although he was reluctant, he could still distinguish between what was important and what was not when compared to his own life.

Xiao Yi Xian also tremblingly handed over the Seven-Colored Poison Manual in her hand.

Jiang Luo's lips curled slightly, and he smiled, "The items were already taken by you. Now you're thinking of returning them to their rightful owner? Too late!"

As soon as his voice fell, both Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian trembled.

This guy really wouldn't let go so easily. Without paying a hefty price, they probably wouldn't be able to leave.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, a flicker of pain crossing his face, but he still made a decisive move, flicking his finger across his storage ring. A stream of light immediately fell into his palm.

He unrolled the scroll, which glowed with a faint spiritual light, and bowed slightly, saying, "Senior, Junior was out of line earlier. This small item is offered as compensation. Please take a look, Senior."

"There aren't many things that can interest this Emperor. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Seeing Xiao Yan being so sensible, Jiang Luo also nodded. He hadn't intended to kill him, and Xiao Yan had given him a good way to back down.

"Earth Rank Elementary Dou Technique: Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"

Seeing this, Jiang Luo was also greatly surprised. He hadn't expected Xiao Yan to even bring out his most prized possession.

It wasn't hard to tell from Xiao Yan's face that the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler was probably the highest-grade Dou Technique he had mastered.

"The item is a good one."

Jiang Luo nodded slightly. Seeing the Dou Huang expert moved, Xiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"However..." Changing his tone, Jiang Luo's face couldn't help but show a hint of regret, "This is not what this Emperor wants."

Xiao Yan's face suddenly stiffened, his mind already racing.

If it weren't for his fear of the Dou Huang expert's power, he would have cursed aloud long ago.

You look down on an Earth Rank Dou Technique; are you deliberately looking for trouble?

However, he could only grumble about such things in his heart.

Xiao Yan suppressed the urge to curse, forcing a strained smile on his face, and said, "Senior, please don't tease this Junior. If you have your eye on something, just say it. As long as Junior has it, I will definitely offer it all."

Xiao Yan had also thrown caution to the wind. After all, besides Earth Rank Dou Techniques, he really couldn't produce anything else presentable.

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, the smile on Jiang Luo's face grew wider, "This Emperor's demands are not high: one set each of Grade 1 to Grade 7 Medicinal Pill formulas. This Emperor can guarantee your safe departure!"

"I can even grant you one reasonable wish!"

"Grade 1 to Grade 7 Medicinal Pill formulas!"

Xiao Yan's mouth gaped. He suddenly felt he had spoken too boldly. Was this something he could get his hands on?

But soon, he realized that the other party wasn't negotiating with him, but with his teacher!

One must know that his teacher, Yao Lao, was a genuine Grade 8 Alchemist in his lifetime. Producing Grade 1 to Grade 7 Medicinal Pill formulas didn't seem too difficult.

However, this was too much of a demand!

You, a Dou Huang expert, what do you need Medicinal Pill formulas for?

"Teacher, isn't this too difficult?" Xiao Yan's mind was in turmoil.

"No matter, leave everything to me." Yao Lao pondered for a moment and finally chose to agree.

"Your Excellency, I hope you don't go back on your word!" A glint flashed in Yao Lao's eyes, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

He clearly valued these valuable Medicinal Pill formulas greatly.

"A gentleman's word, once spoken, cannot be unsaid!" Jiang Luo said with a faint smile.

Seeing this, Yao Lao didn't hesitate, taking out seven scrolls from his storage ring, which were, in order, the Grade 1 to Grade 7 Medicinal Pill formulas.

Jiang Luo gladly accepted them, holding them in his hand, feeling as if the world had become beautiful.

With the fire qilin flying template, even if he restarted his path as an Alchemist, it would only take a very short time to reach the same heights as his Cultivation path.

This was also why he didn't want the Earth Rank Dou Technique, but chose the Medicinal Pill formulas instead.

Xiao Yan also broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that Jiang Luo would suddenly erupt and try to silence them.

But clearly, he was overthinking it.

After accepting the Medicinal Pill formulas, Jiang Luo also took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Keep this Space Scroll safe. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just crush it!"

Xiao Yan hadn't expected the other party to be serious, and for a moment, he was somewhat stunned.

However, being able to receive the protection of a Peak Dou Huang expert could be considered a blessing in misfortune.

"Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, Junior will take his leave first." After accepting the Jade Slip, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to depart.

"You can go, but she must stay."
