417. Impact Failed
One of the three giants of the Pill Tower, the true controller of the Pill Tower, a powerful alchemist of the same era as Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable, and the only female giant in the Pill Tower's many years of existence—Xuan Yi!
Xuan Yi smiled gently and said, "Since there are disciples of an old friend here, I came along with Elder Kang to take a look. Valley Master Tang, there's no need to be nervous."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen was taken aback at first, then, as if he had thought of something, he glanced meaningfully at Kang Ning next to Xuan Yi.
Under the influence of Venerable Feng, the fact that Venerable Yao is still in the mortal realm and that Xiao Yan is Venerable Yao's disciple has long been made public.
Xuan Yi and Yao Zun Zhe Yao Chen were once considered a perfect couple by many. As for what happened later that prevented them from being together, and why Yao Zun Zhe was unwilling to join the Pill Tower, only the parties involved know the inside story.
However, Tang Zhen knew that after the incident involving the Medicine Venerable, Xuan Yi, like the Wind Venerable, had spent considerable effort searching for him. This was enough to prove that this giant of the Pill Tower had a close relationship with the Medicine Venerable, not to mention that he had now come directly to find the Medicine Venerable's disciple, Xiao Yan.
However, Xuan Yi's identity was extraordinary, so even though Tang Zhen was curious, he could only suppress it and led the two into the reception room.
As soon as they stepped outside the hall, the three sensed a strange force of attraction emanating from within, and the spiritual energy in the void was slowly gathering.
Xuan Yi, possessing the strongest physical strength and soul power, immediately raised his hand to stop the two's actions: "Someone inside is attempting to break through to the Soul Realm. Be careful not to disturb him."
Tang Zhen's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. There was no one else in the hall except Xiao Yan. He had only been gone for a short while, and Xiao Yan had already begun his attempt to break through to the Soul Spirit Realm?
Unbeknownst to Tang Zhen, Xiao Yan's actions were entirely unintentional; he had merely been researching methods to further strengthen his soul. Xiao Yan knew that the only techniques related to the soul were Heavenly Thunder Forging and Soul Transformation, so he naturally considered trying to break through to the Spirit Realm without the power of thunder. Unexpectedly, the moment his soul power began to circulate, it started directly absorbing the faint spiritual energy in the space.
Then, faint bursts of lightning energy emerged from Xiao Yan's body, propelling him to continue the Heavenly Lightning Spirit Forging process. These faint, almost imperceptible bursts of lightning were naturally remnants of Lei Jingxiao's previous attack.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's soul power is indeed undergoing a qualitative change due to the continuous absorption of imperceptible soul energy in the void, but it is clearly lacking in stamina!
The departure of Yao Lao still affected Xiao Yan, as his knowledge of the Soul Spirit Realm was too limited. His progress was simply too astonishing; he had suddenly entered a state of attempting to break through to the Soul Spirit Realm, but his current soul power was insufficient to support this. However, Xiao Yan, having already begun, was unaware of this, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have been able to stop.
Xuan Yi waited outside the hall for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, sensing the continuous growth of Xiao Yan's soul power. Her expression gradually became uneasy. As a leader of the Pill Tower, soul power was something she was extremely familiar with, so she was even more acutely aware that something was amiss.
"They're still young after all..."
Then, a wave of energy emanated from Xuan Yi's forehead. The invisible and formless spiritual energy in the air was completely captured by the soul power she released, and then stabilized by her soul power without any omission, so that Xiao Yan could not absorb any of it.
Tang Zhen was also taken aback. Although he didn't possess a Spirit Realm soul, he was still a Dou Zun powerhouse. He sensed that Xuan Yi's soul power alone was far stronger than his! Although the giants of the Pill Tower rarely made a move due to their status, they were definitely not figures who rose to power based on seniority.
However, after looking at Xuan Yi and hesitating for a moment, he still said, "President Xuan Yi, Xiao Yan has already reached the crucial point of breaking through to the Soul Realm. To interrupt like this..."
Xuan Yi glanced at Tang Zhen: "Would I harm a disciple taught by Yao Chen?"
Then, with a flick of her jade-like hand, a perfectly round pill instantly appeared in her palm. With a surge of energy, the pill turned into liquid, and Xuan Yi remotely controlled the liquid to rush into Xiao Yan's mouth.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, and purplish-red flames surged forth, completely rejecting the medicinal liquid.
The attraction force within Xiao Yan's body was growing stronger, and Tang Zhen was surprised to find that he was starting to lose control of his Nine Dragons Thunderfire!
However, Xiao Yan has now reached a very important moment. Although he doesn't know why the strange fire suddenly became turbulent, Tang Zhen suppressed the strange fire in his body without thinking, preventing the Nine Dragons Thunderfire from appearing.
Xiao Yan's brows were furrowed; his condition was worsening, and waves of weakness were surging into the depths of his soul! He knew something was wrong, but was helpless. He could only continue circulating the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Forging technique, hoping to absorb the meager spiritual energy.
Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Kid, you're quite tough!"
Helpless, he could only take out a small pinch of blue-white powder from his storage ring. Kang Ning, who was standing next to him, looked on in surprise and said, "Guild Master, this Spirit Awakening Powder is a key item for your breakthrough. Are you going to use it here now?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Xuan Yi's eyes, but as soon as he thought of that white-clad figure, he did not hesitate to point the powder at Xiao Yan.
The dust was immediately absorbed by Xiao Yan's skin as soon as it approached, and a warm energy rushed into his mind. Xiao Yan then felt that the previously turbulent soul power within him had indeed calmed down completely. With the stabilization of his soul power, Xiao Yan also felt the strange state end, and he regained control of his body.
At this moment, his soul power was enveloped by an extremely gentle energy, and the comfortable feeling almost made Xiao Yan groan. At this moment, Xiao Yan's soul power was also emitting a warm glow, and his mind was clearer than ever before.
Xiao Yan knew that he had not yet advanced to the so-called Soul Spirit Realm, but because of this change, his soul power would be enhanced again, and his subsequent advancement would definitely be smoother.
Then Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and shook his head slightly. The complexity of his soul was beyond his imagination, even though he was now a seventh-grade alchemist with a peak mortal soul.
"To rashly attempt to break through to the Spirit Realm without the protection of a senior and without sufficient soul stimulation is simply foolish!" Xuan Yi couldn't help but criticize Xiao Yan immediately.
"You let yourself mess around with something so important! That old bastard Yao Chen is just as irresponsible as he was back then!"
