The disciples guarding the mountain felt that this matter was reliable, and that it concerned the young lady's life.
He was just curious because the young lady had suffered a severe injury a few days ago due to forcibly fusing with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, leaving her with a hidden ailment.
Logically, the news hadn't even spread yet, so how did this person find out?
However, he didn't delay too much. Whether Chu Yang was faking it or was truly extraordinary, this was not something he could decide.
"Please wait a moment, senior!"
The disciple clasped his hands in a salute to Chu Yang, then turned and strode away quickly.
Not long after, he returned with an old man. The old man looked Chu Yang up and down, frowned slightly, and then cupped his hands in greeting:
"Your Excellency claims to be a saint, and we dare not question it, but the Supreme Elder has been in seclusion and has not come out, and even the Valley Master dares not disturb you rashly."
"Could you please..."
Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying aura surged from Chu Yang, causing all living beings within a radius of dozens of miles to tremble.
Chu Yang smiled, showing no displeasure at the old man's probing.
If you want him to prove his abilities, just say so!
This is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct method. If he wasn't afraid of being misunderstood by the Burning Flame Valley as having ill intentions, why would he go through all this trouble?
However, Chu Yang's imposing aura subsided in an instant. The old man, who had almost knelt on the ground, wiped away his cold sweat and said with utmost respect, "I beg your forgiveness, senior!"
The disciple guarding the mountain collapsed to the ground, completely dumbfounded.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's alright, this is exactly what I wanted. I'm sure the Fire Cloud Saint has already sensed my presence."
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared. It was an old man with red hair, thin in stature, and dressed in simple linen clothes.
The old man bowed to Chu Yang and said, "I am Tang Zhen, the current Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley. I have been disrespectful to the Sage, and I hope you will forgive me!"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I came uninvited, and I have something to ask of you. Valley Master Tang, there's no need for such formalities."
This is the benefit of strength. Even though Chu Yang has no background and looks young, no one dares to underestimate him.
A moment later, in a grand hall.
Tang Zhen vacated the first seat and sat down next to Chu Yang, politely asking, "May I ask how the Sage is addressed?"
"I have no name or title, just call me Chu Yang." Chu Yang waved his hand and then got straight to the point: "I came here for two reasons. First, I want to see the Fire Cloud Saint. I have some things I need his help with."
"On the other hand, we want to exchange something with Valley Master Tang."
After confirming that Chu Yang meant no harm, Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed heartily, "Mr. Chu Yang, please just name what you want. As long as Burning Flame Valley can provide it, I will not hesitate!"
"As for the idea of an exchange, there's absolutely no need for that!"
Forging a favor with a Dou Sheng powerhouse is far more practical than any other bargaining chip.
Chu Yang didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I've heard that Valley Master Tang possesses a Mountain Fusion Cauldron, which is listed on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"
Tang Zhen was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Chu Yang to want a medicine cauldron. He then waved to the woman in red standing not far away, who was his daughter Tang Huo'er, and said, "Huo'er, quickly go and fetch the Mountain Melting Cauldron!"
Tang Huo'er responded, glanced at Chu Yang curiously, and then turned and left.
The medicine cauldrons that can be listed on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking are all top-quality medicine cauldrons. As long as there are no frequent explosions of high-grade pills, they are sufficient to support Chu Yang in refining all pills below the Emperor grade.
Seeing that Tang Zhen was straightforward, Chu Yang then said, "Since it's an exchange, I certainly can't let Valley Master Tang suffer a loss."
"I will refine several batches of Grade 7 pills for Burning Flame Valley, and at the same time help your daughter recover from her injuries."
Tang Huo'er's injuries require the treatment of a high-grade seventh-rank pill, the Fire Bodhi Pill, but for Chu Yang, such trouble is completely unnecessary.
"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"
Tang Zhen's expression brightened, and he stood up to bow.
Tang Huo'er is the future hope of Burning Flame Valley and his precious daughter. He has been troubled by this matter recently, but he is also struggling to find an alchemist who can refine high-grade seventh-rank pills.
A moment later, Tang Huo'er brought over the Mountain Melting Cauldron, and Chu Yang didn't waste any words and immediately began refining the medicine.
He refined more than a dozen batches of pills, all of which were of the highest quality and nearly twice as potent as those refined by ordinary alchemists.
This batch of pills will, on the one hand, further enhance the overall strength of Burning Flame Valley.
On the other hand, it can also give the powerful warriors of Burning Flame Valley a better chance of survival in life-or-death situations.
Tang Zhen was extremely grateful. Not only did he get to know a Dou Sheng powerhouse, but he also exchanged a medicine cauldron for so many benefits. He had made a fortune.
Chu Yang was very fast at refining medicine, 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 up at the outside of the hall.
Tang Zhenzhen, puzzled, asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Chu Yang stood up and said with a smile, "Saint Fire Cloud, I have come uninvited. I hope you will show yourself!"
As his words fell, an elderly figure in red robes and with red hair appeared in the hall, blowing on his fiery red beard and saying:
"What a formidable young man! I suppose you discovered me the moment I emerged from seclusion?"
Chu Yang said noncommittally, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm, Senior!"
Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er, realizing what was happening, quickly stood up to greet him.
Old Ancestor Huoyun glanced at them and said irritably, "Tang Zhen, I had high hopes for you back then, but after all these years of cultivation, you're not even as good as a young man!"
Looking at Tang Huo'er, he added, "But this girl is quite good; you've raised a fine daughter!"
Tang Zhen was somewhat bewildered. He looked at Chu Yang, his mouth gradually opening wide.
Young man?
Could it be that Chu Yang is not someone who has mastered the art of preserving his youth, but is actually a genuine young man?
"Speak! We're complete strangers, what brings you here?" Old Ancestor Huoyun plopped down in a chair, looking completely nonchalant.
He has always been eccentric and independent, never currying favor with others because of their strength, nor will he bow down to them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have offended the Soul Palace back then.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I see that you have some hidden injuries, senior. How about I help you treat them?"
Old Ancestor Huoyun curled his lip and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me your purpose first!"
Chu Yang stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I would like to borrow the Nine Dragons Thunderfire!"
As the grade of the pills he refined increased, even with his alchemy skills and the value of Pangu, using any kind of flame would not affect his success.
If there is a different kind of fire to assist, the effect can be twice as good with half the effort, and it can even improve the quality and efficacy of the pills.
"boom!"
Old Ancestor Huoyun slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide, and said, "This isn't a loan, it's blatant robbery!"
"Who in Zhongzhou doesn't know that the Nine Dragons Thunderfire is the inherited exotic fire of the Burning Flame Valley?"
"If you want to take it by force, just say so!"
"Don't think that just because your cultivation is stronger than mine, I'm afraid of you!"
Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Senior, please don't be in a hurry. I haven't finished speaking yet. I can borrow it in another way."
"Why not let Miss Tang stay by my side? She can control the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, and I can borrow it whenever I need it."
"If you think highly of me, I can take Miss Tang as my disciple."
The Fire Cloud Ancestor's face twitched slightly, then his attitude suddenly did a complete 180-degree turn, and he laughed loudly, saying:
"Hahaha! Why are you breathing so heavily when you talk?"
"In that case, there's no need to discuss this further!"
"I'll grant your request!" (End of Chapter)
Chapter 323 Pill Domain, Holy Pill City, An Unexpected Encounter!
The change in the attitude of the Fire Cloud Ancestor was extremely abrupt, even Chu Yang did not expect it. He was stunned for a moment before looking at Tang Huo'er and smiling, "Let Miss Tang decide this matter herself!"
For many sects and forces, Chu Yang's direct snatching of their outstanding disciples was something they would never agree to.
However, this generation of Burning Flame Valley is different. Tang Huo'er is Tang Zhen's biological daughter. No matter who she takes as her master, she cannot sever her relationship with Burning Flame Valley.
Therefore, for Tang Zhen and Huoyun Patriarch, having such a young Dou Sheng to teach Tang Huo'er is actually a good thing.
Most importantly, Chu Yang's ability to reach the Dou Shengxiu level at such a young age indicates his limitless potential for the future.
This move not only found Tang Huo'er a good teacher, but also connected Burning Flame Valley with a future top expert.
Somewhat surprisingly, Tang Huo'er pursed her lips and didn't agree immediately, but instead said softly:
“Mr. Chu Yang, I was born and raised in Burning Flame Valley, and my father is the Valley Master. Even if I become your disciple, I will not sever ties with Burning Flame Valley…”
Her meaning was clear: to lay the unpleasant truth out in advance to avoid future troubles when she couldn't balance her duties with her master's and family's affairs.
Tang Zhen looked anxious, fearing that his daughter's words would displease Chu Yang and cause them to part ways.
On the contrary, Old Ancestor Huoyun stroked his beard and looked at Tang Huo'er with an appreciative expression.
The fact that he remained neither humble nor arrogant in the face of a Dou Sheng powerhouse reminded him of his younger self.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "You can think of this as a deal. I need you to stay by my side and lend me a light whenever I need it."
