Chapter 358: Refining the Heaven Demon Puppet

In the center of a massive blue stone platform stood a massive medicine cauldron. Beside the massive cauldron stood a handsome youth and an old man who looked somewhat illusory.

"Teacher, I will be able to refine a body for you soon. Are you happy?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao beside him and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Yao Lao stroked his white beard, the smile on his face self-evident, then rolled his eyes and said, "Happy my ass! Refining a body is not a matter of a day or two, and it cannot be interrupted halfway. You kid actually want me to be resurrected using the body of a Heaven Demon Phoenix. Although this will greatly increase my strength and give me infinite potential in the future, the time and effort paid are also immeasurable, and I will be at odds with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan in the future, so..."

"So what?" Xiao Yan curled his lips and asked.

"So what? You didn't get two Dou Zun bodies? That four-star Dou Zun one is quite good, enough for me to use, and it takes less time. Why don't we just use that body to resurrect?" Yao Lao sighed and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan curled his lips and said disdainfully, "That Dou Zun is too weak, a guy I can stomp to death with one foot. How is he qualified to be Teacher's body? Stop joking."

"Uh..." Hearing these arrogant words from Xiao Yan, Yao Lao's lips also twitched somewhat. Although Xiao Yan had borrowed his power to do it at the time, once he thought that this Dou Zun was stomped to death by Xiao Yan, Yao Lao also felt inexplicably disgusted.

Yao Lao had originally thought it would be good to get a Dou Zong body to resurrect, but now facing a Dou Zun, he actually started to feel disgusted. It had to be said that Xiao Yan's strength gave Yao Lao quite a bit of confidence.

"Since you insist on using this Heaven Demon Phoenix body to help me resurrect, just relying on the current defensive strength of the Heaven Alliance is far from enough!" Yao Lao stroked his beard. He was not such a pretentious person; he just didn't want to waste too much of Xiao Yan's energy, after all, he didn't know when the people from the Hall of Souls would come again.

The Hall of Souls had lost several protectors in a row, and the two Hall Masters stationed in the Northwest Continent had been slaughtered by Xiao Yan. If he didn't believe the Hall of Souls would take massive revenge, he wouldn't believe it.

Xiao Yan wanted to resurrect Yao Lao also to resist the Hall of Souls. Although Xiao Yan and Yao Lao joining forces could kill a Dou Zun, according to Yao Lao's estimation, their strength was only comparable to a seven-star Dou Zun. Xiao Yan knew the strength of the Hall of Souls very well, not to mention Dou Zuns, there were also not a few Dou Shengs.

Of course, the reason Xiao Yan wanted to resurrect Yao Lao was not entirely to resist the Hall of Souls. The ranking of a force on the continent did not depend on how many people it had, but on the peak combat strength of this force.

If the highest combat strength of this force was a Dou Zong expert, then it was a first-rate force in the Northwest Continent, and a second-rate force in Zhongzhou.

But if there was a Dou Zun in this force, then it was a first-rate force in the entire Zhongzhou. Even if it unified the entire Northwest Continent, it was only natural, and no one would object. This was the rule of the Dou Qi Continent.

Before, when communicating with Yao Ye, Xiao Yan knew this truth very well. Any conspiracy, dynasty hegemony, in front of a true expert, was just a game.

Once a Dou Zun was reached, as long as you had the intention to create a force, you could quickly create a first-rate force, and everyone would flock to it.

As for Dou Sheng, an existence that could open up space at will, they could have as much territory as they wanted, and they didn't bother with these small troubles, only wanting to close their doors and break through, so even in Zhongzhou, it was very difficult to see a Dou Sheng make a move.

Xiao Yan exhaled, because after helping Yao Lao refine a good body, he could also be a hands-off shopkeeper and go to Zhongzhou to roam, so he couldn't wait.

Of course, what Yao Lao said was also a fact. Although the Heaven Alliance was developing well, in the Black-Corner Region, the peak combat strength was only the peak of Dou Huang, and there was not even a Dou Zong. It had to be said that it was a bit shabby.

But this was also a matter of no choice. The Dou Zongs in the Black-Corner Region were almost all killed by Xiao Yan, and those experts hiding in the shadows also chose to flee far away because they were afraid of Xiao Yan, so the Heaven Alliance had not had a Dou Zong until now.

As for Medusa, who was far away in the Gama Empire, she was probably busy settling the Snake-People Tribe! Even if she settled down, it would take some time to reach the Black-Corner Region.

Little Doctor Fairy was also helping Yao Ye deal with those experts in the empire, and would not come to the Black-Corner Region for a while.

"It seems I need to get a few Heaven Demon Puppets." Xiao Yan curled his lips into a smile and took out a gray-brown ordinary bamboo slip from his storage ring and placed it in his hand.

Seeing Xiao Yan take out a bamboo slip, Yao Lao's eyes lit up, and he asked with a faint smile, "Are you going to refine a Heaven Demon Puppet?"

"Yes! This Heaven Demon Puppet is a good thing! Not only is its strength powerful, its hardness is incomparable, and it is not afraid of pain, and it can absorb lightning to advance. It is truly a must-have item for Alchemists at home and traveling." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile and said.

"Hehe, I think you kid have long wanted to refine a Heaven Demon Puppet!" Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully. Ever since Xiao Yan obtained the refining method of the Heaven Demon Puppet, he had been studying it almost every day, very much wanting to refine a Heaven Demon Puppet, but he was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he had been holding back.

"Hehe! I didn't expect Teacher to see it, but Teacher can rest assured, after the Heaven Demon Puppet is refined, I will also give Teacher one, so that in the future when refining pills, I won't be afraid of the lightning tribulation." Xiao Yan smiled and said.

Hearing this, Yao Lao was also somewhat moved. In the past, when refining those high-level pills, the most annoying thing was the lightning tribulation. If one was not careful, the pill would be destroyed or even people would die. If there was a good Heaven Demon Puppet, it could save a lot of effort.

"Why do I feel that you knew you were going to refine a Heaven Demon Puppet long ago?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan fiercely, suddenly thinking that Xiao Yan had started collecting materials for refining the Heaven Demon Puppet long ago.

Refining a Heaven Demon Puppet required four types of materials: body, magic core, soul, and special metal. Xiao Yan had started collecting the body and soul long ago.

When Xiao Yan was in the Chuyun Empire, he took the body and soul of Xie Biyan, and also stored the souls of the three protectors of the Hall of Souls.

Coming to this Black-Corner Region, he participated in the auction house of the Black Emperor Sect, got two seventh-rank magic cores, and the later battle even collected the soul of Protector Xuan, as well as the body and soul of the Di Mo Lao Gui.

Later, he even collected the bodies and souls of the two Hall Masters of the Hall of Souls, and when he left, he also took away the corpses of Mo Tianxing and Old Man Ying Shan. Before, he thought Xiao Yan collected these corpses to help him refine a body, but now it seemed that this kid knew he was going to refine a Heaven Demon Puppet from the beginning, so he started collecting materials long ago.

"Cough cough, plus the seventh-rank magic core I got from the Di Mo Lao Gui, and the seventh-rank magic core I got from the treasury of the Black Emperor Sect, it's just enough!" Xiao Yan coughed twice awkwardly and said.

Now there was no eighth-rank magic core, so the idea of wanting to use the body of the Hall of Souls Hall Master to refine a Heaven Demon Puppet had to be put off.
