After staring at the Fire Red Flowers on the table for a long while, Teacher Xing Tian nodded, lost in thought.

"This suggestion is not bad. I also had such thoughts before, but I have been busy and never had time to stop and study it carefully. Since you also have such thoughts, I will study it well. Chen Ang, you stay on this floor for these few days; do not leave until I am finished."

Knowing that he intended to teach him something, Chen Ang nodded quickly.

"Master, rest assured; I will absolutely not leave until you speak."

After speaking, Chen Ang cast his gaze onto Huang Yu's face.

"I was originally planning to go to your place before dark, but since you are already here, I will not run over to your side. Send your subordinates to buy some good wine and food later; we shall not return until we are drunk, how about that?"

Hearing his words, Huang Yu nodded with a smile.

"No problem. You are the leader; you have the final say. I will have people prepare it right away."

At this time, Wan Shitong whispered from the side: "Leader, shall we call Li Lao over?"

Once these words were spoken, Chen Ang and Teacher Xing Tian refused in unison.

Hearing the same answer, Chen Ang was somewhat surprised.

But when he looked toward Teacher Xing Tian, Teacher Xing Tian missed his gaze somewhat unnaturally.

"Ahem, Li Lao has been feeling a bit unwell these past few days, so you all should not go disturb him. Anyway, you are not leaving for some time recently, so go see him in a couple of days."

After hearing his explanation, Chen Ang nodded obediently.

"That works too. Then we will go see Li Lao in two days."

After staying at home for two days, Chen Ang found that Teacher Xing Tian had been in seclusion the whole time and had no use for him at all.

During this period, he tested with his aura several times, but was driven out by Teacher Xing Tian each time. Knowing that he had no use for him there, Chen Ang could only sit in the courtyard, having nothing to do.

Seeing him sitting idle alone, Huang Yu walked over with a smile.

"Leader, if you do not move around, grass is going to grow under your butt."

Hearing his voice, Chen Ang lazily lifted his eyelids.

"Move where? There is nothing happening recently; if I do not sit, what else should I do?"

"Who says there is nothing happening? You do not go out yourself, so you do not hear any wind; you only know to sit here, so of course there is nothing else to do besides sitting."

"Wind? What wind? Has something happened outside?"

After keenly capturing the information in his words, a bit of brightness appeared in Chen Ang's eyes.

Seeing him like this, Huang Yu could not help but laugh.

"Leader, have you not heard? The Demon Race recently set up a fighting ring; it is said that the winner can get a Blue Ice Stone. This is causing a huge stir outside; have you not heard any wind of it at all?"

"No. Was the Demon Race not quite quiet a while ago? Why are they starting to make trouble again? The Blue Ice Stone should be considered a precious item to them, right? Are they really that willing to part with it?"

"The Blue Ice Stone is not only an important item to them, but it is also extremely rare to many people, so the response to this fighting ring competition is particularly high. Every clan has signed up, and those who have not signed up have also rushed over to watch the fun. It is even livelier than you imagine."

After hearing his words, Chen Ang touched his chin, lost in thought.

"It is truly strange. What kind of mischief is the Demon Race making again for no reason? Could it be that they have good things and nowhere to put them?"

"I do not know. I have also inquired about this matter, but no one knows the details inside. Recently, my clansmen have also been joining in the fun; maybe one day they will bring back some useful news. Leader, if you have nothing to do, go join in the fun. If you disguise yourself, the Demon Race people should not be able to recognize you."

Because the Demon Race people had always been targeting Chen Ang, Huang Yu did not dare let him show his true face and specially brought him a fake human skin mask.

Weighing that human skin, Chen Ang did not move.

"Wait a little longer. My Master is still in seclusion, and I do not know when he might need me. I am afraid that if I leave, I will delay his important business. How many days are left until the fighting ring competition?"

"There is still a full week left."

After calculating, Chen Ang furrowed his brows.

There was no news from Teacher Xing Tian's side, and no one knew when he would need him, but he could not leave during this period. If there was no news from Teacher Xing Tian's side within a week, he might not be able to go.

Thinking about the Blue Ice Stone, Chen Ang was actually quite tempted, but since the two matters collided, he still had to prioritize Teacher Xing Tian's side.

After having a decision in his heart, he pushed the fake human skin mask further away.

"Let this thing stay here for now. I have to guard here during this period; it is not certain whether it will be needed or not. If it is needed, I will use it; if it is not needed, you can take it back after the fighting ring competition ends."

Knowing that it was inconvenient for him now, Huang Yu could only sigh helplessly.

"Alright then. I will run over there more often; if there is any news, I will come and tell you the first moment."

"Fine. The Demon Race making such a move must be suspicious; you all pay more attention to the situation over there, do not be negligent."

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and Chen Ang became a bit unable to sit still.

Sensing the aura in the room, he paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

Teacher Xing Tian had been in seclusion for a long time but had not called him; what exactly does this mean?

Does he need him or not?

Thinking of this, Chen Ang became even more annoyed.

Just as he was pacing back and forth, Wan Shitong came over with a chuckle.

"Leader, has Teacher Xing Tian not given you word yet?"

Looking up at him, Chen Ang shook his head irritably.

"No, there has been no news at all. What are you going to do?"

"Go to the Demon Race side to join in the fun. Registration has closed recently, and everyone is probing each other's strength; they are fighting openly and secretly in private, it is very exciting. It is just a pity you cannot go; if only you could go."

Hearing his last sentence, Chen Ang felt even more annoyed in his heart.

"Mind your own business. If you do not want to watch the fun, go yourself, but remember to protect your face; do not let others see it, lest you get into trouble and need me to wipe your butt again."

Hearing that his temper was a bit hot, Wan Shitong shrank his neck and did not dare to speak again.

Just as Wan Shitong was about to leave, an aura suddenly drilled out from the door crack and wrapped directly around Chen Ang's feet.

Finally sensing this wisp of aura, Chen Ang's eyes brightened, and he rushed toward Teacher Xing Tian's side.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt that his eyes were full of red, and even the air he breathed into his lungs was red, but this aura was very fresh and there was nothing wrong with it.

Stepping forward a few steps, he finally saw Teacher Xing Tian.

"Master, is there anything you need my help with?"

"Yes, the final step of alchemy requires martial fire; my strength can no longer keep up, you come."

"Master, if even you cannot do it, can I?"

"If I tell you to come, you come; why so much nonsense? It is just this critical step left, hurry up and focus!"

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang quickly mobilized his dantian Qi, pushed his hands forward, and a blue flame rose up.

Looking at the flame he was catalyzing, Teacher Xing Tian was obviously very satisfied, so he went back to doing his own thing.

While working, Teacher Xing Tian told the entire alchemy process from beginning to end, until he reached the step he was currently on.

After speaking, he looked at Chen Ang, who was covered in sweat, and asked him, "Did you remember everything I said?"

With his vision blurred by sweat, Chen Ang could only nod toward his direction.

"I know, Master."

"Knowing is one thing, but you must not try it easily unless it is a last resort. I still need your help even when I reach this step; if you reach this step, they might not necessarily be able to help you."

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang nodded repeatedly.

I do not know how much time passed, Teacher Xing Tian patted him on the shoulder.

"The pill is about to be released; reduce the fire bit by bit until it goes out."

"Good."

Slightly cupping his hands, Chen Ang controlled the flame cautiously.

After about half a stick of incense, the last wisp of flame finally went out.

Leaning to the side, Chen Ang gasped for air, unable to recover for a long time.

He now knew why Teacher Xing Tian told him not to try it easily unless it was a last resort; he had almost lost half his life here, how would he dare to try it easily again? He did not even dare to think about it!

The moment the pill was released, Chen Ang's condition finally improved.

Watching the pill being released with his own eyes, he was also very excited, leaning forward and staring without blinking.

Taking a blood-red pill, Teacher Xing Tian handed it directly to his mouth.

"Taste it."

Without any hesitation, Chen Ang swallowed it in one gulp. ===== CHAPTER 895 =====
