Chapter 82: Identity Exposed

"I suspect that he is most likely from the Gama Empire; otherwise, there would be no need to disguise himself. And there must be people in the Imperial Capital who know him, which is why he was so cautious." Yao Ye thought for a moment and said.

"How certain are you that he is from the Gama Empire?" Jia Xingtian's face was gloomy at this time; the thing he worried about most had happened.

"Seventy percent!" Yao Ye pondered for a while and said seriously.

"Even if we know he is from the Gama Empire, so what? His mysterious master comes from Zhongzhou, and he himself has a close relationship with Fama. Just based on these two things, we cannot touch him." Jia Xingtian shook his head and said helplessly.

He knew how terrifying those people in Zhongzhou were; they only needed to move a finger to overturn his Gama Empire.

"We cannot touch him! Can't others touch him?" Yao Ye said with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me your method." Jia Xingtian knew that his clever great-granddaughter had another idea.

Although Xiao Yan's Dou Qi could recover automatically, Qi Recovery Pills were not just for recovering Dou Qi; they could also recover physical strength. As for why Xiao Yan didn't refine Energy Storage Pills anymore, after all, Energy Storage Pills also had the effect of recovering physical strength and could increase strength.

The black ring was filled with various Dou Techniques and cultivation methods, as well as many pill recipes. Xiao Yan was not lacking in Dou Techniques at this time, so he had no interest in browsing them; he just found a few simple 3rd-grade pill recipes among the mountain of pill recipes to practice with, among which was the most common Qi Recovery Pill recipe.

After Yao Lao fell into a deep sleep, Xiao Yan gained control of the black ring in his hand. The space inside this black ring was very large; even if the space of all Xiao Yan's storage rings were added together, it couldn't compare.

"What's the use of knowing he is in the Magical Beast Mountain Range? The Magical Beast Mountain Range is so big, it's impossible for us to find him. And it's been so long, he should have left the Imperial Capital area long ago!" Jia Xingtian shook his head. Finding someone in the Magical Beast Mountain Range was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Hmm, this is indeed a good method!" Jia Xingtian nodded.

"Hahaha! Eight magical beasts! Once I can face the siege of ten magical beasts, my strength will be comparable to a Dou Shi powerhouse." Although Xiao Yan's body was exhausted, his heart was full of joy and pride.

"I learned from the innkeeper that this person named Nie Feng has a very significant feature, which is that he carries a huge black giant sword on his back. And the tattered clothes he wears make him look like a beggar. I think he should have been training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range all along. I asked the city gate guards, and they also said that a month ago, a strange youth carrying a black giant sword entered the Imperial Capital from them. I think he came out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and his purpose in coming to the Imperial Capital was just to buy some necessities, then continue to train in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so I suspect he must have returned to the Magical Beast Mountain Range now." Yao Ye said again.

"There are two possibilities now. First, he comes from Zhongzhou, but this probability is very small, because people from Zhongzhou rarely come to our remote and desolate place, and his strength is also very low. The forces in Zhongzhou wouldn't let him come out to train when he is so weak, so this possibility can basically be ruled out. Second, he is from the Gama Empire and was accidentally taken as a disciple by a certain powerhouse in Zhongzhou." Jia Xingtian patiently explained to Yao Ye.

In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a youth carrying a black giant sword was fighting eight magical beasts alone. This youth was Xiao Yan. His eyes were firm, his posture was agile, and he showed no fear in the face of eight ferocious magical beasts.

What Xiao Yan didn't expect was that even though he was very careful, he was still discovered by these people. In fact, this couldn't be blamed on Xiao Yan; even if he were more cautious, he would still leave traces. Whether it was the royal family or the spies of various major clans, they were all over the Imperial Capital. To completely hide, unless he was particularly low-key.

It was already very good that Xiao Yan had managed to prevent people from finding out his true identity.

"Sigh! If it weren't for the fact that my time is running out, I wouldn't want to kill such a good seedling. If I could subdue him to become the guardian of the Gama Empire, that would be the best choice." Jia Xingtian sighed.

Who would have thought that just one alchemist assessment could lead to encountering Fama, and even being noticed by him. Who would have thought that selling a pill could lead to encountering Gu He and Nalan Yanran. What Xiao Yan didn't expect even more was that the Longevity Pill he accidentally obtained was actually so popular.

Finally, as the sun was about to set, Xiao Yan spotted an opportunity and lunged at one of the magical beasts. He used his weight and strength to pin the magical beast to the ground, then slammed a fist into its head. The magical beast let out a final scream, then stopped moving.

"But I have another question, which is why must we kill him?" Yao Ye asked suspiciously.

These eight magical beasts each had their own characteristics; some looked like giant bears, some were covered in scales, and some had fangs, looking very ferocious. They constantly launched fierce attacks, trying to kill Xiao Yan.

"But doesn't Great-Grandfather have these two Longevity Pills?" Yao Ye saw Jia Xingtian's brows furrowed and couldn't help but say.

"I don't believe I can't subdue him! And I have already taken action!" Yao Ye heard Jia Xingtian's words and felt quite unconvinced in her heart, secretly saying.

"These pills can only extend one's lifespan a little! Without breaking through to Dou Zong, one will eventually turn into yellow earth." Jia Xingtian shook his head, then went into seclusion.

Yao Ye saw Jia Xingtian leave and also began to prepare to spread the news of Xiao Yan in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"But so what?" Yao Ye's confusion deepened.

Immediately after, Xiao Yan killed the remaining magical beasts one after another. He lay exhausted on the ground, panting heavily.

Time passed second by second, and the battle entered a white-hot stage. A giant wolf-like magical beast suddenly launched a fierce attack, opening its bloody mouth to bite Xiao Yan. But Xiao Yan was prepared; he quickly leaped to the side, while kicking the giant wolf's jaw hard. The giant wolf let out a miserable scream from the pain, then fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Sunlight passed through the dense leaves, dappling the battlefield, adding a bit of mystery to this cruel battle. The clothes on Xiao Yan's body were already tattered, revealing skin cut by the sharp claws of the magical beasts.

"Although I have never met him, I can guess the general idea from your few words. This person is deep in schemes and extremely calculating; he lacks the impulsiveness that a youth should have. Such a person either remains silent or startles everyone once he speaks. Once he is allowed to grow, no one in the entire Gama Empire will be his opponent. Moreover, such a person will not be content with mediocrity; once there is an opportunity, he will strike without hesitation. Although you are also very smart, relying solely on intelligence is not enough in this Dou Qi Continent. You cannot suppress him!" Jia Xingtian slowly explained.

"Hehe, anyway, we are just revealing some news. Those mercenaries outside the Imperial Capital are like wolves; as long as they smell a little bit of meat, they will immediately rush up. If they can't find him, so be it; anyway, there is no loss. But if they happen to find him and kill him, then when his master comes to seek revenge, he won't be able to find us." Yao Ye said with a smile.

Xiao Yan indicated, you want me, a 3rd-grade alchemist, to refine 1st-grade entry-level pills? Do I not have face? Besides, Xiao Yan didn't have the materials for Energy Storage Pills either!

Now, to let Xiao Yan search for low-grade medicinal herbs all over the mountains and plains, unless Xiao Yan was crazy, because the medicinal herbs in the storage ring were countless, enough for daily use and practice.
