Chapter 322: Arriving at the Central Continent

Just as the Jia Ma Empire gathered the countless gazes of the entire continent, and the interior of the empire was completely boiling because of the Misty Cloud Sect, the culprit of it all, Chu Yang, had quietly left the Northwest region.

And those who knew about this, even within the Misty Cloud Sect, were only Na Lan Yanran, Xiaoxiao, and the Pill Boy.

The losses from the battle of Misty Cloud Mountain would inevitably make the three clans furious. At this time, they were in a fit of anger, but they needed to be wary of Chu Yang's strength and would not rashly take action against the Misty Cloud Sect.

But if they found out that Chu Yang was not there, it was very likely that the three clans would come to find trouble.

After this period passed, the high-level members of the three clans would calm down and take Chu Yang's threat to heart, thereby weighing the pros and cons.

Even if someone wanted to take action against the Misty Cloud Sect, the rulers of the three clans would not agree.

Still the same saying: they could not afford the unscrupulous revenge of a young Dou Sheng with limitless future and monstrous talent!

Even if the seven ancient clans stood at the peak of the continent, they dared not act unscrupulously.

Because the seven ancient clans were not of one mind, nor was there any talk of them being of the same breath and branch; they fought openly and secretly. If one clan got into trouble, the other clans would inevitably take the opportunity to trip them up in the dark.

It was precisely because of this that they would not act rashly before confirming whether Chu Yang had left the Misty Cloud Sect.

Killing the three-star Dou Sheng Shi Zhen in seconds was enough to demonstrate Chu Yang's strength far exceeding his peers. To deal with him, a large number of powerhouses had to be dispatched.

Coupled with the long distance, this would lead to emptiness within the clan, and it was not impossible that someone would take this opportunity to intercept and kill them halfway, greatly weakening the strength of the three clans while further intensifying the conflict between them and the Misty Cloud Sect.

Among those who could stand at the peak of the continent's powerhouses, there were few fools, and no one would act on impulse.

To put it bluntly, the three ancient clans would swallow this bitter pill no matter what! In the world of the strong, strength is the highest criterion, but it is not the only criterion. Sometimes, grasping the hearts of people can make one more like a fish in water.

Central Continent, Northern Region.

In the middle of a desert, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky, and Chu Yang walked out with Yun Yun and Sun Wukong.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chu Yang shook his head and laughed. "So there is a spatial rift here, no wonder..."

Yun Yun looked blank. "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Yang waved his hand. "Nothing, let's go to the nearest city first!"

In the original plot, when Xiao Yan and his party first came to the Central Continent, they encountered a spatial storm in a wormhole, and Xiao Yan fell into this desert.

Now it seems that this was not entirely a coincidence; it was because there was a spatial rift here.

To put it bluntly, it was a loophole in the spatial structure of the Dou Qi Continent.

Chu Yang had left a coordinate signal through Pan Gu, which was an unexpected joy for him. In the future, he might be able to make a big deal out of this spatial rift.

Tian Bei City was a city relatively close to the Northern Desert. After Chu Yang and his party arrived here, they got a map of the Central Continent and then left directly.

For Chu Yang, traveling did not require any teleportation array at all. As long as there was a map, relying on a Dou Sheng powerhouse's control over space, as well as Pan Gu's blessing, it was enough to reach any place on the continent in a short time.

But this time, Chu Yang did not travel with Yun Yun and Sun Wukong. The three separated and left in different directions.

Everyone has their own opportunities. Following Chu Yang, although they could ensure their lives were worry-free, without the tempering of life-and-death crises, it was not a good thing.

It's just that I don't know if, under his influence, Yun Yun will still inherit the Flower Sect inheritance?

What kind of waves will Sun Wukong stir up in the Central Continent? Compared to the two, Chu Yang's goal was much clearer. It only took him half a day to reach the middle of the Central Continent, and then he headed straight for the Pill Domain.

The Pill Domain was where the Pill Tower was located, and it was also the place with the most high-level alchemists on the continent, the holy land for alchemists.

Chu Yang had no need for opportunities; his strength improvement did not rely on heavenly treasures, and it was difficult to find treasures on the Dou Qi Continent worth refining into his limbs or fusing into his forehead bone.

Or to be precise, with the improvement of his strength, Chu Yang's vision was getting higher and higher, and ordinary treasures were not worth him refining with the Treasure Refining Art.

On the contrary, alchemy, due to the lack of a suitable medicine cauldron and no support from pill recipes, had encountered a bottleneck.

So no matter what, it was necessary to go to the Pill Tower.

But before heading to the Pill Domain, Chu Yang first came to the Scorching Volcano Mountain Range.

This was where the Burning Flame Valley was located. As one of the top forces on the surface of the Central Continent, the sects and families within a radius of tens of miles all looked to the Burning Flame Valley as their leader.

This was a vast expanse of volcanoes, and the fire-attribute energy was exceptionally rich, so whether practicing fire-attribute cultivation methods or alchemy here, there would be a certain bonus.

Chu Yang did not rush in directly, but came to the mountain gate and smiled at the disciples guarding the mountain. "Trouble this friend to report, I want to see the Supreme Elder of your valley!"

The disciple was stunned, looking at him as if he were a fool.

See the Supreme Elder? Are you kidding? Not to mention a hairy kid who popped out of nowhere, even the Valley Master of their Burning Flame Valley had difficulty seeing the Supreme Elder who did not ask about worldly affairs.

Twitching the corners of his mouth, the disciple said tactfully, "Brother, don't joke..."

Chu Yang frowned, knowing he looked like a greenhorn, but he had no background or reputation in the Central Continent, and there was no other way.

Thinking for a moment, he said again, "Please report it, brother, just say... this Saint requests an audience!"

The disciple was stunned again, and his eyes began to look at him as if he were a lunatic.

This guy actually called himself "this Saint"? But after thinking for a moment, the disciple hesitated.

In the Central Continent, one could often encounter strange people and things, and there was no shortage of powerhouses who were good at maintaining their youthful appearance, or even those who had returned to their youth, walking in the world.

There was no scene of looking down on people, because the disciple knew very well that in the Central Continent, few people dared to come to the Burning Flame Valley to find trouble.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "The junior is bold, may I ask for the senior's holy name?"

Chu Yang shook his head. "No name, no title, how about this..."

"You first inform Valley Master Tang Zhen, just say I can save his daughter, and after it's done, let him introduce me to Fire Cloud Saint."

The mountain-guarding disciple felt that this matter was reliable, and it concerned the life of the eldest young lady.

It was just that he was a little curious. The eldest young lady had only been severely injured and left with hidden illnesses a few days ago because she forcibly fused with the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire.

Supposedly, the news hadn't spread yet. How did this person know? But he didn't delay too much. Whether Chu Yang was playing tricks or was indeed extraordinary, this matter was not something he could decide.

"Please wait a moment, senior!"

The disciple bowed to Chu Yang and then turned and walked away quickly.

Not long after, he brought an old man back. The old man looked Chu Yang up and down, frowned slightly, and then cupped his hands.

"Your Excellency calls yourself a Saint. We would not dare to doubt it, but the Supreme Elder has always been in seclusion, and even the Valley Master does not dare to disturb him rashly."

"Can I ask your Excellency..."

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying aura soared from Chu Yang's body, and all living beings within a radius of tens of miles trembled.

Chu Yang had a smile on his face, not at all dissatisfied because of the old man's probing.

If you want me to prove my strength, just say so! This was undoubtedly the simplest and most direct way. If he hadn't been afraid of being mistaken by the Burning Flame Valley as having ill intentions, why would he have taken such a big detour? However, Chu Yang's aura was retracted in an instant. The old man, who had almost knelt on the ground, wiped his cold sweat and said respectfully, "I hope the senior will forgive me!" The mountain-guarding disciple was even more dumbfounded, sitting on the ground.

Chu Yang waved his hand. "No matter, this is exactly what I wanted. I presume Fire Cloud Saint has already felt my aura."

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared. It was a red-haired old man, small in stature, wearing a simple hemp garment.

The old man bowed to Chu Yang. "I am Tang Zhen, the current Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley. I have neglected the Saint, and I hope you will be magnanimous!"

Chu Yang smiled. "I came uninvited, and this time I have a request, so Valley Master Tang need not be so polite."

This was the benefit brought by strength. Even if Chu Yang had no background, even if he looked young, no one dared to underestimate him.

A moment later, in a grand hall.

Tang Zhen left the head seat empty, sat with Chu Yang, and asked politely, "May I ask how to address the Saint?"

"No name, no title, just call me Chu Yang." Chu Yang waved his hand and went straight to the point. "I came here this time, first to see Fire Cloud Saint, as there are some things I need his help with."

"On the other hand, I want to exchange something with Valley Master Tang."

After confirming that Chu Yang had no ill intentions, Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily. "Mr. Chu Yang, just speak if you want anything. As long as the Burning Flame Valley can take it out, I will never frown!"

"As for the exchange, it is completely unnecessary!"

Being able to owe a favor to a Dou Sheng powerhouse was far more practical than any bargaining chip.

Chu Yang was not polite and said directly, "I heard that Valley Master Tang has a Mountain Melting Cauldron, which is on the Heavenly Cauldron List. I wonder if you can part with it?"

Tang Zhen was stunned, obviously not expecting that Chu Yang would want a medicine cauldron, and then waved to the red-clothed woman standing not far away—this was his daughter, Tang Huo'er. "Huo'er, go and get the Mountain Melting Cauldron quickly!"

Tang Huo'er responded, looked at Chu Yang curiously, and then turned and left.

Medicine cauldrons that can be on the Heavenly Cauldron List are all top-quality medicine cauldrons. As long as there are no frequent explosions of high-grade pills, they are enough to support Chu Yang in refining all pills below the Emperor grade.

Seeing Tang Zhen's readiness, Chu Yang said again, "Since I said it was an exchange, I naturally cannot let Valley Master Tang suffer a loss."

"I will refine a few furnaces of seventh-grade pills for the Burning Flame Valley, and at the same time help your daughter recover from her injuries."

Tang Huo'er's injury required the seventh-grade high-level pill, Fire Bodhi Pill, to heal, but for Chu Yang, it was not that troublesome at all.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

Tang Zhen's expression brightened, and he stood up to bow.

Tang Huo'er was the future hope of the Burning Flame Valley and his beloved daughter. He had been having a headache about this recently, but he was suffering from not being able to find an alchemist who could refine seventh-grade high-level pills.

A moment later, Tang Huo'er brought the Mountain Melting Cauldron over, and Chu Yang didn't talk nonsense and started refining medicine directly.

Refining more than a dozen furnaces of pills in a row, the quality was top-notch, and the efficacy was nearly twice as strong as the pills refined by ordinary alchemists.

This batch of pills could, on one hand, further improve the overall strength of the Burning Flame Valley.

On the other hand, it could also give the powerhouses of the Burning Flame Valley more chances of survival at critical moments.

Tang Zhen was truly grateful for this. Not only did he get to know a Dou Sheng powerhouse, but he also exchanged a medicine cauldron for so many benefits, which was simply a huge profit.

Chu Yang's alchemy speed was very fast, and the whole process took less than an hour. Just as he finished refining the medicine and was chatting with Tang Zhen, he suddenly looked outside the hall.

Tang Zhen didn't understand and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Chu Yang stood up and smiled. "Fire Cloud Saint, I came uninvited, I hope you will appear!"

As his voice fell, a red-robed, red-haired old figure appeared in the hall, blowing his fiery red beard.

"What a powerful young man, I'm afraid you already discovered me when I just came out of seclusion, right?"

Chu Yang said noncommittally, "Congratulations to the senior for breaking through to Dou Sheng!"

Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er realized and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor glanced at them and said angrily, "Tang Zhen, I had high hopes for you back then. After practicing for so many years, you are not as good as a young man!"

Looking at Tang Huo'er, he said again, "But this girl is not bad, you have given birth to a good daughter!"

Tang Zhen was a little confused, looked at Chu Yang, and his mouth gradually opened wide.

Young man?

Could it be that Chu Yang is not good at maintaining his youthful appearance, but is a genuine young man?

"Tell me! We don't know each other, what are you looking for me for?" Fire Cloud Old Ancestor sat on a chair, looking careless.

He had always had a strange temper and did things his own way. He would not cling to others because of their strength, nor would he be submissive because of it.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have offended the Soul Hall back then.

Chu Yang smiled and said, "I see that the senior has hidden injuries, why don't I treat you?"

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor curled his lips. "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, tell me your purpose first!"

Chu Yang stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I want to borrow the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire!"

As the grade of the refined pills became higher and higher, although with his alchemy level, coupled with Pan Gu's value, using any flame would not affect the success.

If there was a different fire to help, it would be twice the result with half the effort, and even improve the quality and efficacy of the pills.

"Bang!"

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor slapped the table heavily, staring. "This is not borrowing! This is clearly robbery!"

"In the Central Continent, who doesn't know that the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire is the inherited different fire of the Burning Flame Valley?"

"If you want to rob it, just say so!"

"Don't think that because your cultivation is stronger than mine, I'm afraid of you!"

Chu Yang twitched the corners of his mouth. "Senior, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet. I can borrow it in another way."

"How about letting Miss Tang stay by my side, and she will control the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire, and I will borrow it whenever I need it."

"If you think highly of me, I can take Miss Tang as my disciple."

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor's face twitched, and then his attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, laughing loudly. "Hahaha! Why are you still panting when you speak, kid?"

"In that case, there is no need to discuss this matter!"

"I will make the decision, and I agree to you!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
