Xiao Yan immediately grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began to make some sketches and calcutions.

  'Even though I've refihe Heavenly Fme Esse's not necessary to directly use it to cause a collision. It's too difficult to trol the collisioween Essence Fmes. What if I just extract a small portion of the fmes, use my Spiritual Strength to trol them, and then remove the Spiritual Strength barrier like nitrogly, it might cause an explosive rea upon tact...'

  It was as if something clicked in Xiao Yan's mind at this moment. He entered a state of wondrous epiphany as he tio scribble inprehensible notes on the paper.

  'Extrag the Heavenly Fme requires powerful fire trol ability, and trolling the fusion of the fmes demands immense Spiritual Strength. But wait, that alone won't be enough power, it needs more fuel.'

  'Dou Qi! That's right, Dou Qi! It is fual when unleashing Dou Teiques. How could I have fotten? By infusing a rge amount of Dou Qi into the Spiritual Strength, the fusion of the Heavenly Fmes will beore inteh the addition of Dou Qi.'

  Xiao Yan didn't realize it, but he was in the process of creating airely new Dou Teique. Usually, only old monsters would create Dou Teiques based on their own experiences, yet Xiao Yan was oeen years old!

  He secluded himself in his room for a full day and night before finally designing the prototype of the Dou Teique!

  'Lotus! The lotus petals are formed by extrag and pressing the Heavenly Fmes, while the lotus ptform made of Spiritual Strength is used to stabilize and separate the Heavenly Fme petals. Then the Dou Qi is pressed into a Dou Qi lotus seed and fixed onto the lotus ptform!'

  Xiao Yan looked at a draft paper oable, on which was drawn an exquisite lotus. The lotus was posed of petals, a lotus ptform, and lotus seeds, exactly corresponding to the three elements he had just described!

  'A lotus formed from Heavenly Fmes... This move shall be called 'Angry Buddha Lotus Fme.'

  Xiao Ya out a long, tented sigh. Only then did he realize that he had been p for three days and three nights. After taking a pill to alleviate his hunger, he slowly stood up and stretched.

  Whenever he had a thought in his mind, he would immediately a it. With a childlike grin, he eagerly made his way to the training ground.

  He wao test the power of his first self-ied Dou Teique!

  "You've e out at just the right time," Hai Bodong desded from the sky and handed him several ornate boxes filled with medial ingredients. "I've scoured every medial shop in both Rock Desert City a City, but there are still many ingredients for the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill that I couldn't find. I think we'll have to head to the Miteer Au House in the imperial capital and the Alchemist Association headquarters to find the rest."

  Hai Bodong had been frantically searg for the ingredients listed in the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill recipe over the past few days. However, Rock Desert City a City were not cities known for medial materials. He could only find a few stalks of the ingredients needed for the 5th-tier pill.

  "We visit a few more nearby cities for the ingredients. I still o practice alchemy for a while before I have a ce to reach the 5th-tier. But Old Hai, you're back just in time to help me with something." Xiao Yan saw Hai Bodong as soon as he stepped out of his room. His eyes lit up as he said with a smile.

  For some reason, Hai Bodong had a bad feeling when he saw Xiao Yan's smiling face.

  "What do you want to do? Tell me first, and I'll decide after listening." Hai Bodong frowned slightly. He wao know what kind of help was being asked before deg whether to agree.

  "I had a sudden burst of inspiration a few days ago and created the prototype of a Dou Teique. I pn to test its power." Xiao Yan didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

  "Oh, is that all? No problem then." When Hai Bodong heard that it was about testing a Dou Teique, he thought it was a simple matter and readily agreed.

  The two of them walk to the training ground.

  "Speaking of which, I also had a whim when I was young and created a Dou Teique. I re it had the power of a Low Xuan Css Dou Teique. But at that time, I was already at the Dou King realm. You little brat, you're so young, yet you already create a Dou Teique. By the way, what grade is that Dou Teique of yours?" Hai Bodong talked about some iing stories from his youth as they walked.

  Xiao Yan shrugged and replied, "I don't know. That's why I'm asking Old Hai to help me evaluate it."

  It was not long before the two of them arrived at the training ground. Word spread that Xiao Yan was going to test his self-created Dou Teique and all the meraries rushed over to watch.

  Even Xiao Ding and Xiao Li came to spectate.

  "Third Brother always has some strange ideas." Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't hide the smile at the er of his mouth.

  Xiao Yan slowly came to a stop at one er of the training ground and gave a slight smile to Hai Bodong standing opposite him. "Old Hai, prepare to defend with all yht. I want to test how much power this Dou Teique I created really has."

  Hai Bodong snorted in his heart and thought. 'Hmph, even though you brat's Spiritual Strength is formidable, your cultivation is still at the Dou Grandmaster realm. Do I, the great Ice Emperor, really o defend with my full strength? What a joke.'

  However, Hai Bodong still nodded despite his ihoughts and with a wave of his hand, a oer-high ice shield appeared in front of him.

  Xiao Yaly ughed when he saw that Hai Bodong had only produced a oer ice shield.

  He extended his right hand, and immediately two fmes—one blood-red and the other emerald-green—gradually emerged from his palm and rose into the air. Seeing the two different colored fmes in Xiao Yan's hand, Hai Bodong was momentarily stunned as he suddenly remembered a crucial detail he had overlooked.

  This freak Xiao Yan seemed to possess two kinds of Heavenly Fmes!!

  One was the blood-red Heavenly Fme he had used when fighting him initially, and the other was the Green Lotus Core Fme he had snatched from Gu He's hands!

  'Huh? alchemists really possess two Heavenly Fmes at the same time?' Hai Bodong was a bit puzzled. However, he wasn't very knowledgeable about Heavenly Fmes.

  Xiao Yan looked at the two wisps of fme in his palm and pondered, 'How much fme would be appropriate...? Let's start with the amount o refine a 4th-tier pill.'

  Once Xiao Yan decided on the amount of fme, the terrifying fire trht by the Fme Mantra allowed him to trol the Heavenly Fmes with utmost precision. The small fmes that were initially like those from a lighter instantly grew rger.

  In an instant, his Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi burst forth from his body. The Late Mortal State Spiritual Strength acted like a pair of invisible aere hands as it rapidly ged the shape of the Heavenly Fmes.

  Uhe astonished gazes of everyone present, a dazzling and magnifit fire lotus the size of a fist appeared before their eyes.

  "It's so beautiful!"

  "It's simply a work of art."

  The fire lotus dispyed two colors. One half was blood-red, and faintly, there seemed to be beast spirits running along the petals as they emitted fai roars. The other half was emerald-green, crystal-clear, fwless, and pure, looking like the most beautiful jade in the world.

  "Hmm?"

  Xiao Yan's brow furrowed. The moment the fire lotus took shape, he suddenly discovered that the Heavenly Fmes, once separated from his body, were no longer affected by the Fme Mantra. A strange e even formed betweewo fmes, as if they were hostile to each other and wao devour the other. The bit of Spiritual Strength he released couldn't trol them at all.

  His eyes narrowed, and his terrifying Spiritual Strength poured out like a waterfall, frantically trying to sever this e.

  Boom boom boom!!!! Debris flew into the air, while cracks that emitted strong vibrations began to form on the ground where he stood.

  After all, his Spiritual Strength was at the Late Mortal State, and its full outburst was incredibly terrifying!

  Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Hai Bodong. The tter's heart trembled. "Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!"

  Xiao Yan had poured in most of his Spiritual Strength to barely maintain trol, but he also knew he couldn't trol it for long. Without g anymore, he threw it directly in Hai Bodong's dire.
