Chapter 391 The price of becoming stronger

Seeing that Xiao Yan's attempt was successful, Yao Chen was stunned and looked stunned:

"Is it really okay?"

A technique that can be practiced independently, Yaochen is very clear about what this means.

From now on, Xiao Yan doesn't have to go out of his way to practice, Huo Ling will spontaneously help him improve his fighting spirit. Even if the Burning Technique is no longer upgraded, this characteristic alone makes it comparable to most earth-level techniques!

"The Burning Technique actually has such a hidden use... This is simply a cheating device for training." Yao Chen clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Hahahahaha..." Xiao Yan smiled proudly with his hands on his hips, feeling that a bright future was waving to him.

The smile on Yao Chen's face became a little stronger, "It seems that the day when someone goes to Yunlan Sect to propose marriage is not far away."

"Sigh... That's still a bit far away. I have to wait until I become a Dou Huang or a sixth-grade alchemist before I can qualify... Besides, Xun'er and Xiaomeng..."

Xiao Yan rubbed the back of his head out of habit, his body suddenly stiffened, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.

He shook his right hand and touched it from the back of his head to his forehead.

Gone, all gone...

Not a single hair of his was left!

Xiao Yan quickly took out a mirror from the ring, and then saw a head without hair and eyebrows, as bald as a braised egg.

This was Qing Meng's doing. Before his intelligence was wiped out, he used strange fire to burn off Xiao Yan's hair.

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the bald head in the mirror, unable to believe that this was him.

He said in a trembling voice: "Old...teacher..."

Yao Chen said with a smile: "It was probably burned away when you absorbed the strange fire... You have gained such great benefits, so consider this a small price to pay for becoming stronger."

Xiao Yan felt it made sense, and felt much better when he thought about it. Anyway, it's just a temporary ugliness, and it will be fine once it grows out.

Compared to the benefits he gained from refining the strange fire, this price was simply negligible.

As soon as Xiao Yan took a breath, he heard Yao Chen say leisurely:

"It seems that there are only about three months left before you go to Yunlan Sect for your three-year appointment."

"Three months... it should be able to grow out." Xiao Yan touched the top of his head and muttered softly.

"Well, there seems to be a layer of fire-attribute energy crystals condensed on your scalp. Your hair will probably not grow back until the energy crystals disappear." Yao Chen said with a bit of gloating.

Xiao Yan's breath froze and his eyes widened: "No...isn't it? Do I have to go to Yunlan Sect with this look?"

He was crying and looking like this, even if he won the battle, he would still lose.

When he thought that Yunzhi might see him like this, he felt that there was darkness ahead.

Xiao Yan tried to refine these crystals, but found that they were all composed of strange fires, and they did not know what kind of changes had occurred, making them extremely difficult to refine.

"Teacher, what can you do?" Xiao Yan asked for help.

Yao Chen shook his head and replied: "This is your strange fire energy. If I forcibly use Bone Spirit Cold Fire to melt it, it will only cause a violent conflict between the two strange fires and cause an explosion... Maybe you can ask The little guy on your shoulder, maybe it can do something."

"Yes, Qingmeng is a fire spirit, so it should be able to solve this problem." Xiao Yan turned to look at Qingmeng and pointed at his bald head with his index finger:

"Little guy, can you help me get rid of these things?"

"Meng..." Qing Meng stared at Xiao Yan's head for a long time before pinching the monocle on his right eye with his chubby short hand.

This action made Xiao Yan raise his eyebrowless eyebrows.

Qing Meng slowly stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Yan's head.

Then……

The energy crystal became thicker.

"Meng!" Qing Meng showed a big smile and cheered.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Asshole, I asked you to eliminate this, not to make it thicker!"

Qingmeng seemed to be frightened by his behavior, showing a scared look, turning into flames and disappearing on his shoulders.

The strange fire crystals on Xiao Yan's head were so thick that they could even be seen with the naked eye, glowing with a glistening green light.

The colorful sky-swallowing python's eyes lit up when it looked at those energy crystals. As a fire attribute beast, it was very interested in things rich in fire attribute energy. It lingered on Xiao Yan's head, and he closed his eyes comfortably and began to rest.

Xiao Yan: "..."

There was nothing he could do with these two guys, so he had to sigh and plan to buy a wig and wear it.

"Teacher, where is Brother Crow?"

"It flew away after you finished evolving the Burning Technique."

…

In the vast desert, the night is very quiet, and this vast land seems to be covered with a layer of quiet black veil.

The hot sand that had been burned by the sun during the day has cooled down. A gust of wind blew by, causing ripples on the sand surface, like a flowing scroll.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cool glow. Under the pure light, among the messy rubble, a thin young man wearing a black classical robe and a pointed hat sat on a rock pillar that was eroded by wind and sand, as if it might break at any time, and stared at the sky.

He bent his right leg and stepped on a protruding position of the rock pillar, while his left leg hung naturally. His eyes were closed, as if he was taking a nap, or as if he was concentrating on something.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, raised his right hand, stroked the monocle on his right eye, and smiled slightly.

Hua Sheer created an illusion in front of the elders of the snake people that she was connected to a certain barbarian force in the northern continent, and also made them initially believe that Queen Medusa had some contact with this force.

The doubtful Grand Elder decided to wait for Queen Medusa's return, which could take up to six or seven years, which was not a long time.

There were two main factors that made her initially believe what Hua She'er said. One was that the other party was the captain of Queen Medusa's personal guard, and the other was that Hua She'er's final attitude was very abnormal.

Even if she bears some responsibility for the evolution of Queen Medusa, the punishment will not kill her. There is no need to tell a lie that can be easily exposed.

And if Queen Medusa really failed to evolve and died, then a new Medusa must be cultivated.

For the cultivation of a new generation of Medusa, the most talented female snake-man from the snake-man tribe will be selected as the gestator, and the potential of her child will be increased through secret methods before they are born.

Before their children reach adulthood and the new Medusa has grown up, the caregiver will assume the power of Queen Medusa.

As one of the two most talented female snake-people in the snake-people race besides the contemporary queen, she and Yue Mei are both very likely to be chosen as the incubators. In this case, she will not be severely punished.

Therefore, the elders are more inclined to believe that what Hua Sheer said is true, and they also hope that what she says is true.

However, Hua She'er couldn't produce any more evidence, so to be on the safe side, the Great Elder sealed her cultivation and put her under house arrest.

In exchange, during this period, the elders will try their best to satisfy Hua Sheer's small but not excessive demands...

If what she said is true, after the successfully evolved Medusa returns, she will still be the captain of the personal guard, and there is no need to cause too much trouble.

The lies told by Amon could not withstand too much scrutiny, but their hopes for the leader of the "Colorful Sky-Swallowing Python" made them subconsciously ignore the suspicious points and be willing to wait for a few years.

Through Hua Sheer, Amon obtained more information about the northern continent and the barbarians. Compared to the Mo family, the records of the snake people are much more detailed.

…

A hoarse crow broke the silence of the night.

The crow with red eyes and white circles flapped its wings and fell from the sky.

It stayed on Amen's shoulder and reported: "Xiao Yan has absorbed the Qinglian Earth Core Fire. Fenjue has the effect of improving the practitioner's strength essence. Qingmeng judged that it is valuable to study."

It passed the insights Qingmeng passed on to him at that time to Amon's body through spiritual connection.

Amon was silent for two seconds, and a stream of light separated from his body, transforming into Amon who was dressed the same, but without glasses on his right eye.

The newly appeared Amon only had the strength of a fighting master. He pinched his eye sockets, looked at the main body and asked:

"Tell me, do you have any dirty work or death-related work for me?"

Amon had a warm smile on his face: "It's not that dangerous. You should try practicing Fenjue. Amon will judge that it is worth studying."

A green flame emerged from the palm of Amon's body. He waved his hand and threw out the divided Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

The clone Amon immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to refine the flame Amon. The process went smoothly without any surprises.

After all, the strange fire he refined was originally Amon's clone, so there would naturally be no resistance.

Subsequently, the clone Amon began to run the Burning Jue, preparing to swallow the flame Amon evolved the technique.

The process was also very smooth.

After Fen Jue advanced, the main body, which maintained a certain degree of spiritual connection with the clone, immediately noticed the difference.

Fen Jue's operating route is not fixed as Qing Meng said, but will change with the evolution of the technique!

However, when he severed the spiritual connection with his clone, he strangely found that all he could remember in his mind was the exercise route map before Fen Jue advanced, and the exercise after the advancement seemed to have been As if it were imprisoned, only the Fenjue practitioners and the strange fire they refined could remember.

Amon stroked his monocle and smiled with interest:

"Interesting... It seems that by using Fenjue to swallow the strange fire, you can get not only the enhancement of the essence of fighting spirit, but also special and restricted knowledge... Ha, the weird technique has a shadow of the rules of heaven and earth. in it.”
