Chapter 74: Regarding Yao Lao's Resurrection
Tonight I had something to do and went out, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned, many people would question the issue of the materials for Yao Lao's resurrection.
First, I will not use a Fighting Sect corpse to resurrect Yao Lao; the text also mentioned this once.
Second, many people say Xiao Yan would not agree to use a defective product for resurrection, and that a Fighting Sect corpse is no good; I don't deny that, but Yao Lao set Xiao Yan's target as a Fighting Sect corpse because he knows Xiao Yan's strength. I ask all readers: does the current protagonist and Xiao Yan have the strength to obtain a Fighting Venerable or Fighting Saint corpse?
Fighting Venerable corpses and Fighting Saint bones—Yao Lao has also cultivated to Heavenly Sovereign, so the body was never the problem; Xiao Yan's strength is the key.
Even if we concede ten thousand steps—suppose we used a Fighting Sect corpse to resurrect him—I would still have the protagonist compensate Yao Lao; if even ten thousand steps further, the protagonist can't help, can't Xiao Yan help either? As for the method, worst case we just refine another body for Yao Lao.
And the series of reactions from the Ancient Clan and others provoked by Yao Lao's strength—I can only say that the protagonist is Xiao Yan's later backing.
Third, regarding the suggestion that one could go find the Heaven Fire Venerable for hired help—there are lava-dwelling lizard people in the magma, and with just a bloodline burst the protagonist is only at the peak of Fighting King; he couldn't even pass the Fallen Heart Flame stage, so finding the Heaven Fire Venerable is unrealistic. Even if found, would Xiao Yan be willing to use the original materials meant for resurrecting Yao Lao to resurrect someone else?
At present, only Yao Lao can refine seventh‑grade, even eighth‑grade Living Bone and Blood Fusion Pills; in the original work, refining sixth‑grade pills had been idle for a long time. Would Yao Lao really expend so much to just hand over the resurrection opportunity?
Fourth, regarding the issue of going to Starfall Pavilion to find the Wind Venerable—this is a matter of timing; by then we would surely encounter many original characters, advanced by several years. Just the power settings would make many people doubt, for example Han Feng in the text.
Here I apologize to everyone, because I haven't read Yao Lao's Legend or the manga, so I'm a bit vague on Han Feng's age—but that doesn't matter, since whether he's sixth or fifth grade he'll still die, and it doesn't affect the plot. Sorry.
Finally, I hope everyone doesn't view the problem from a god's‑eye view—given a resurrection opportunity, would Xiao Yan still have to consider future development issues?
Xiao Yan: "Teacher, don't resurrect yet, or later it will be hard to make any progress!"
Yao Lao: "?"
But I still thank everyone for their support and suggestions; I've read all the comments, so I specially opened a single chapter to respond. The discussion atmosphere is great, and I'm also grateful to everyone for pointing out the book's problems—I will work harder to write.
Finally, I'll tell everyone that I have to go back to school tomorrow to take graduation photos, so the update might be late; I'll try to post earlier.
I'm really sorry—because I have to review for the college entrance exam, updates will be few, but after the exam I'll update more.
