Chapter 214: Lotus Root Body

"You knew early on that there was no Exotic Fire here?" Yao Lao understood at this moment that this disciple of his seemed to have the ability to foresee the future.

"Hmm, someone got there first!" Xiao Yan threw a scale he had picked up nearby to Yao Lao.

"Seven-Colored Snake Scale?" Yao Lao took the scale Xiao Yan threw over, observed it carefully, and then said.

"In this Taguer Desert, the only Snake-person who can take away the Exotic Fire is Medusa, the leader of the Snake-people tribe." Xiao Yan said indifferently.

"That is indeed the case!" Yao Lao returned the seven-colored scale to Xiao Yan and nodded. Then, he looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression and said: "Why aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid that Medusa will destroy your Exotic Fire?"

"What's there to be worried about? Medusa finding the Exotic Fire is at most to use it. As for destroying it, how bored must she be!" Xiao Yan said with indifference.

Xiao Yan pointed to the green lotus platform and said: "Didn't she leave us quite a few good things? And with this place, my cultivation will be countless times faster in the future. Breaking through to Dou Ling this year is not a dream."

Xiao Yan was left dry-mouthed and dumbfounded by what Yao Lao said. He didn't expect this lotus root to have such great efficacy, making him want to change into a lotus root body himself.

"Teacher, do you think these lotus roots can be used to refine a physical body for you?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and asked.

"What? You want to use such precious lotus roots to refine a physical body for me?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan with a face full of shock, seemingly thinking he had heard wrong.

"Hehe, truly nothing can be hidden from Teacher! Here, this is the lotus root that grew below!" Xiao Yan took out a lotus root from his storage ring and handed it to Yao Lao.

"You truly know your goods. This green lotus platform is indeed a good thing, and the lotus seeds that grew on it are also first-class wonders. And just as you said, if you sit on it to cultivate, you will definitely be able to quickly improve your realm." Yao Lao nodded and said with quite a bit of appreciation.

"Teacher, do you think there will be lotus roots growing below?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Since you have this heart, I will definitely help you achieve it!" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and thought to himself.

Touching a lotus root, Xiao Yan felt extremely excited and continued to grope around. In a short while, he touched another one, hurriedly picked it up and weighed it, discovering that this lotus root was actually a circle larger than the one in his hand.

"This..." Yao Lao was stunned by Xiao Yan's question. He truly didn't know if there were lotus roots growing below, and if it weren't for Xiao Yan mentioning it, he wouldn't even have thought of it. After pondering for a long time, he could only say uncertainly: "There should be! You can go down and take a look!"

Although this lotus root body was powerful, that was all there was to it; it could only easily reach the Dou Sheng level. Xiao Yan's goal was the Dou Di level, or even higher, so Xiao Yan didn't envy it.

However, Xiao Yan still suppressed the thoughts in his heart. Xiao Yan walked the path of righteousness through strength, subduing Exotic Fires, and continuously strengthening himself. If he changed his path halfway, it would cause his Dao heart to be unstable, and his achievements wouldn't be very high.

Right! He wasn't envious! And he wasn't jealous!

"I obtained five roots in total, and the one you are holding in your hand is the smallest one." Xiao Yan said happily after hearing Yao Lao's words.

Xiao Yan groped around in the magma for a long time and really touched a giant lotus root. This lotus root was a full meter long, white as jade, and also emitted a faint fragrance.

"Put away your inferior provocative method! What do you know? If I really possessed this lotus root body, not to mention that my aptitude would exceed yours, even your little girlfriend Xiao Xun'er would find it hard to compare, and even Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body wouldn't be able to compare with it. Once one possesses this lotus root body, not only will one's cultivation talent become extremely terrifying, but one's affinity for flames will become incomparable. In alchemy, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. How about it? Are you still willing to give it now?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and asked teasingly.

"How about it? Seeing you stayed for a long time, and your face was full of excitement, it seems the harvest is not small!" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said.

"Teacher, should we take this lotus platform away?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and said. Although this lotus platform was beneficial for subduing the Exotic Fire, with Yao Lao present, nothing big would happen.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, then dived down along the roots. As Xiao Yan dived deeper, the temperature became higher and higher, and the magma became more and more viscous. If it weren't for Xiao Yan possessing the Yin-Yang Dual Flames and being able to actively absorb heat to replenish himself, it would truly be difficult to reach the bottom.

Xiao Yan obtained lotus roots in total, one of which even reached three meters long and was as thick as an adult's waist. After Xiao Yan put the lotus roots into his storage ring, he headed upward.

"Although I am your teacher, such a precious thing, I cannot take it. Throughout the journey, I have only provided you with some insignificant help, not worth you paying so much for me." After Yao Lao was silent for a long time, he still shook his head.

Yao Lao held the five lotus roots, feeling a mix of emotions. He didn't expect that even after he introduced them so powerfully, Xiao Yan still wasn't moved.

Although these theories were introduced in some cultivation books Xiao Yan had read in his previous life, this kind of theory was appropriate everywhere.

"Since it can really be refined into a lotus root body, you should take it and study it slowly!" Xiao Yan threw the remaining lotus roots to Yao Lao all at once.

Of course, while being moved, Yao Lao's view of Xiao Yan was also different. Xiao Yan hadn't been moved even by such a treasure, which showed that Xiao Yan wanted to achieve even higher accomplishments.

Yao Lao took the lotus roots, observed them carefully, and said earnestly: "These lotus roots are even more precious than this lotus platform! Not only is the energy abundant, but they also contain a rich life aura. No matter who eats them, their strength will greatly increase, and they can also live forever. They are truly first-class good medicines. However, eating them raw is too wasteful. If they are refined into pills, that would be a supreme treasure in the world, capable of bringing the dead back to life."

"How many lotus roots did you obtain in total?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, his face full of anticipation.

"What precious or not! If it can really help Teacher refine a physical body, that would be quite good. Although the efficacy of these lotus roots is powerful, I don't need them, so it's better to give them to Teacher to refine a body. However, can this really be refined?" Xiao Yan said with indifference.

"Damn! How come there are so many?" Yao Lao exploded with profanity after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

In the magma, Xiao Yan kept groping around like he was catching fish, wanting to see if there were any lotus roots.

Seeing Xiao Yan's indifferent appearance, Yao Lao knew that Xiao Yan was most likely pretending. After all, who wouldn't be moved by such a precious object?

"Things are dead, but people are alive. Besides, I actually want to see what Teacher looks like after transforming into a lotus root body. I'm looking forward to it. Could it be that Teacher feels ashamed and doesn't dare to?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao, a wicked smile hooking onto the corner of his mouth.

"Need it! Although you can directly devour the Exotic Fire, in your situation, devouring the Exotic Fire is not a matter of one morning or one evening! You can only use this lotus seat to take the Exotic Fire first, and then return here to go into seclusion to devour the Exotic Fire. Besides, you possess the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, so wanting to repair it is very simple." Yao Lao knew that Xiao Yan didn't want to destroy such a cultivation holy land, but Xiao Yan didn't have that much Ice Spirit Cold Spring, so wanting to take the Exotic Fire away was almost impossible.

"That's true!" Xiao Yan nodded and used the method Yao Lao gave to take the green lotus seat down.
