Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Hearing Mo Tianxing's assurance, Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Mo Tianxing, "Then, all you need to do next is for Sect Master Mo to give me the medicinal materials for refining the Breakthrough Pill."

Mo Tianxing nodded and said he would arrange for someone to take the medicinal herbs to Xiao Fan later. After the agreement was reached, Xiao Fan did not linger and returned directly to the Black Emperor Pavilion.

"Xiao Fan..."

After Xiao Fan left, Mo Tianxing watched Xiao Fan's departing figure and narrowed his eyes. As one of the key figures who destroyed the Black Alliance, Xiao Fan and others' portraits had long been seen by the Black Emperor Sect's higher-ups. Therefore, when he saw Xiao Fan, Mo Tianxing recognized him. However, after discovering that Xiao Fan was using a fake name, Mo Tianxing tacitly refrained from exposing him.

Similarly, Xiao Fan was also aware that if he and Xiao Yan didn't make any changes and attended the auction with these faces, these forces would inevitably discover their true identities. However, Xiao Fan didn't care. Ultimately, it was his current strength that gave him confidence. Even if it was the Earth Demon Old Ghost, a Seven-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Fan was confident that he could fight him if he used the Radiant Sun Nine Transformations.

Therefore, Xiao Fan added this condition to the Rakshasa Sect and the Mad Lion Gang. After all, Su Mei and Tie Wu both have their own Chaos Fire Seeds, so the Rakshasa Sect and the Mad Lion Gang can also be regarded as Xiao Fan's own forces. Now that the Black Alliance has been destroyed, although the two sects have developed greatly, if the Black Emperor Sect makes a move, they probably won't be able to hold out for long.

Xiao Fan originally intended to have Mo Tianxing take action once, since the more people involved in the struggle for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, the better. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Fan realized that Mo Tianxing would not agree to such a request and ruin the reputation of the Black Emperor Sect. In the end, he proposed that the Black Emperor Sect would not take the initiative to target the Rakshasa Sect and the Mad Lion Gang.

After returning to the Black Emperor Pavilion, Xiao Fan handed over the Six Harmonies Traveling Ruler and some of the items auctioned earlier to Xiao Yan. He then set up an array in the courtyard of the pavilion to shield against fluctuations and took out the dried corpse of the demonic beast.

"Why did you take this out? It's disgusting."

As soon as Xiao Fan took out the dried monster corpse, a stench filled the courtyard. Zi Yan, who was standing nearby, immediately pinched her nose and walked to the side, looking at Xiao Fan with disgust.

"Forehead......"

Xiao Fan hadn't expected Zi Yan to react so strongly to the dried corpse, but then he remembered the hatred between the Ancient Dragon of the Void and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and understood Zi Yan's emotions.

"Senior brother, what are you planning to do with this mummified demonic beast corpse? Apart from these bone wings, its life force should have long since dried up, rendering it completely worthless, right? Could it be that you're after its demonic core?"

Unlike Zi Yan, Xiao Yan did not show any disgust. Instead, he walked up to the dried corpse, examined it, and then reached out to carefully sense it for a moment before asking Xiao Fan in confusion.

"It's of no use to me."

Xiao Fan shook his head, then took out a sharp longsword from his storage ring. With a gentle cut, he removed the pair of crystal-clear bone wings from the mummified corpse and placed them aside. Two holes were also revealed on the back of the mummified corpse.

"If these bone wings were used to create a flying combat technique, your speed would reach an extremely terrifying level. At that time, you should be able to fight anyone below the Dou Zun level without any problems."

Xiao Fan turned to look at Xiao Yan with a bright smile on his face. Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard Xiao Fan's words, and then a warm feeling rose in his heart.

Chapter 29 What a true man does!

The two became disciples of Yao Lao together. Back in Wutan City, their senior brother took great care of them, which Xiao Yan naturally remembered. However, Xiao Fan went out to train ahead of time, and the two gradually separated.

Now that my father's fate is unknown, my teacher has fallen into the hands of the Soul Hall, and Xun'er has returned to the clan, the enormous burden of the Xiao family has fallen on my shoulders. I am very grateful to my senior brother and sister-in-law You Ruo; otherwise, the Xiao family would probably be a complete mess...

Watching Xiao Fan continuously examine the dried-up monster corpse, Xiao Yan suppressed his emotions, stepped forward, and asked Xiao Fan, "Senior brother, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Xiao Fan didn't turn around. He simply replied to Xiao Yan with a word, and then the sharp sword in his hand kept sliding back and forth on the dried-up corpse of the demonic beast.

They quickly chopped off the ten spikes on the monster's claws, but it looked utterly wilted, with wrinkled skin stuck to it, making it look disgusting.

After Xiao Fan chopped off the claws, strange fire rose up, and he threw the severed spikes into it. After being burned by the strange fire, the various impurities attached to the spikes were quickly removed, and ten crystal spikes fell from the strange fire and landed on the ground.

Several of the spikes fell vertically, embedding themselves directly in the hard bluestone floor, startling Xiao Yan who was watching from the side.

Xiao Fan looked at the spikes on the ground without any surprise. He picked up a spike, aimed it at the sword he had just used, and slashed it down. Instantly, a shallow groove appeared on the blade of the sharp and sturdy longsword.

Looking at the sharpness of the spikes, Xiao Fan could already imagine the terrifying scene of Zi Yan's fists striking others in the future. Thinking of Zi Yan's terrifying strength, combined with the gauntlets made from the spikes of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Xiao Fan had already silently mourned for Zi Yan's enemies in his heart.

Standing to the side, Xiao Yan witnessed firsthand the sharpness of the spikes and looked at Xiao Fan in surprise. His senior brother seemed quite familiar with this mummified demonic beast corpse...

"Ziyan, come here."

Xiao Fan beckoned over, summoning Zi Yan, who was hiding in the distance with a look of disgust. Seeing her unwilling expression, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How about I use these ten spikes to make you a gauntlet?"

"Really?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zi Yan looked at him with bright eyes and anticipation. Although she had no interest in the dried-up demonic beast corpse and even felt somewhat disgusted, she had witnessed the sharpness of the spikes that Xiao Fan had crafted. Now, hearing Xiao Fan's words, her face was filled with delight.

"Would I lie to you?"

Xiao Fan rubbed Zi Yan's head, then placed the ten spikes in Zi Yan's palm, producing a crisp and pleasant clanging sound.

Zi Yan carefully wrapped the spikes and put them away before turning her attention back to the mummified monster carcass. Looking at the monster that Xiao Fan had dismembered, Zi Yan smiled and said, "I don't know why, but seeing you dismember this monster makes me feel really good."

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Fan naturally understood that this was because the hatred between the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clans had penetrated to the bone. That's why Zi Yan felt so relieved to see the Heavenly Demon Phoenix being dismembered.

After removing the spikes prepared for Zi Yan, Xiao Fan waved his hand, and the Chaos Fire transformed into the shape of a green lotus at the heart of the earth, enveloping all the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's dried corpse within it, continuously refining it.

At first, Xiao Yan thought that Xiao Fan wanted to burn the withered flesh and blood to ashes before releasing the strange fire because it was taking up too much space. However, he then realized something was wrong. Xiao Fan was maintaining the temperature of the strange fire, constantly roasting and burning the flesh and blood, as if he were refining medicinal herbs.

Xiao Yan looked puzzled. He glanced at the beast hide that had been peeled off the ground and lightly scratched it, but it had no defensive power whatsoever. Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had originally thought that the beast hide, which was about to break through to the eighth rank, would be an excellent material for making armor if possible. However, it seemed that too much time had passed and the beast hide had lost its defensive power.

Just as Xiao Yan was examining the monster hide, a faint trace of blood energy surged into his nostrils. Immediately, Xiao Yan was shocked to find that an extremely violent power surged into his body. Even his body seemed to have been slightly enhanced because of this trace of blood energy. Xiao Yan couldn't help but look in surprise at the monster flesh and blood that Xiao Fan was refining in mid-air.

The dried flesh and blood that originally filled the courtyard have gradually disappeared under Xiao Fan's refinement, replaced by a few drops of blue and red blood floating in the air.

"Senior brother, is this the blood of this magical beast?"

"Hmm." Xiao Fan nodded, then said, "Although it has been too long and the bloodline in this magical beast has been depleted, we should still be able to extract some. This time, we've made a profit."

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this. In exchange for a pair of bone wings, ten sharp spikes, and a few drops of magical beast blood, they had already made a huge profit in this transaction.

"It's a pity that the monster's magic core is gone, otherwise we would have made a fortune."

Thinking about the identity of this magical beast, Xiao Yan scratched his head and said with some regret.

"Who said the monster's core has disappeared?"

Xiao Fan had successfully extracted all the flesh and blood from the dried corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Looking at the five drops of blue-red blood floating in the sky, Xiao Fan waved his hand and collected four of them into a jade bottle.

"Brother, what do you mean..."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan looked up in astonishment, only to see Xiao Fan with a confident smile on his face. He took the beast hide from Xiao Yan's hand and dripped the remaining drop of blue-red blood onto the dried beast hide.

Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Xiao Yan felt a pang of heartache. After all, only five drops of blood could be extracted from the entire flesh and blood of this demonic beast corpse, and now one drop was being wasted. However, Xiao Yan ultimately chose to trust Xiao Fan and kept a close eye on the changes in the animal hide.

As the blood dripped onto the animal hide, the originally wrinkled and lifeless hide instantly surged with a rich energy, and Xiao Yan's expression instantly turned into one of surprise and delight.

"It's really done!"

Seeing the beast hide, which had been devoid of energy just moments before, transformed into its current state, Xiao Yan's face lit up with a hint of surprise. A seventh-tier magical beast's core...

After Xiao Fan dripped the blue and red blood into the animal hide, he continued to bake it with the strange fire according to the original method. The animal hide continued to shrink, and the energy inside continued to emerge. A violent energy gradually emerged from it, and above the animal hide, strange blue and red colors appeared. In the distance, the boiling roar of a magical beast could be faintly heard.

"Hiss~ What kind of monster is this that is so terrifying?"

Xiao Yan gathered his Dou Qi and, sensing the roar of the demonic beast, revealed a look of shock in his eyes. From that roar, Xiao Yan sensed an extremely terrifying aura.

Behind Xiao Yan, as the roar of the demonic beast appeared, Zi Yan's body emitted a faint purple light, and her eyes also showed a purple energy, as if she was confronting the terrifying demonic beast.

"Ziyan, what's wrong?"

Upon noticing Zi Yan's condition, Xiao Yan called out in concern. Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Zi Yan snapped out of her daze and looked at him with a confused expression.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it."

Seeing Zi Yan's condition, Xiao Fan comforted the two of them. Then, the roar gradually disappeared, and an irregular crystal of blue and white floated in mid-air, attracting everyone's attention.

"It really worked!"

Seeing the seventh-tier magic core appear, Xiao Yan lowered his guard and looked at Xiao Fan in surprise. Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, he asked Xiao Fan, "Senior brother, you seem to be extremely familiar with this mummified demonic beast corpse?"

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, also opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiao Fan curiously.

Xiao Fan did not hide anything from Xiao Yan's question. While catching the demonic core in mid-air, he said to the two of them, "Hmm, this mummified demonic beast corpse should be the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix."

"Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"

Upon hearing an unfamiliar title, Xiao Yan looked puzzled, while Zi Yan frowned slightly upon hearing the name, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized she had never heard of it before either.

"Hmm." Xiao Fan observed their reactions and continued to explain the concepts to them.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is one of the three great magical beast families in the Central Continent. Their strength is extremely terrifying. They have the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix in their bodies. However, the bloodline is gradually fading now, so their strength is far less than before. But even so, the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is still extremely terrifying in the Central Continent. Even compared to the Soul Palace, it is not much weaker."

"So strong."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's explanation, Xiao Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then why are there mummified corpses of their people in the Black Corner Region?"

“I don’t know either.” Xiao Fan shook his head, then said, “But I do know one thing: the Heavenly Phoenix Clan values ​​its bloodline extremely. So even after a member of the clan dies, their body must be buried within the Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s forbidden area. If an outsider discovers a Heavenly Phoenix Clan member’s body, they only have two choices: first, to hand it over to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan; second, to face the Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s relentless pursuit!”

"What?!!"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of helplessness.

"If that's the case, then why did you do such a thing to this mummified corpse, Senior Brother?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Fan smiled slightly, shrugged, pointed to the spoils beside him, and then asked, "Can you resist this?"

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the bone wings, the jade bottle containing essence blood, and the seventh-order demon core beside him. He then coughed and said, "A true man dwells between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!"

Chapter 30 The Old Man of Eagle Mountain Leaves the City

Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Xiao Fan stopped teasing him and handed him the jade bottle containing the blue and red blood and the seventh-order magic core. Xiao Fan put away the bone wings, turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Don't rush to make these bone wings. I'll give them to you after I've made them into a flying fighting technique."

"Senior brother, aren't you going to keep it?"

Xiao Yan looked at the cyan and red blood and the seventh-order demon core in his hand, and then looked at Xiao Fan with some surprise.

"Keep these." Xiao Fan shook his head. These things were nothing to him, offering only limited improvement to his strength, but they might have a better use for Xiao Yan in the future.

"The materials needed to refine a body for the teacher are very troublesome. This Heavenly Phoenix was originally a magical beast that was about to break through to the eighth rank. Its essence blood can completely replace the bloodline of other magical beasts, and the effect achieved will be even more perfect."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately lit up with delight as he looked at the jade bottle in his hand. After hearing Xiao Fan's explanation, his regard for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Essence Blood in his hand immediately increased several notches. After all, it concerned his teacher's resurrection plan. He already possessed three kinds of strange fires needed now, not to mention his teacher's Ancient Spirit Cold Fire, making a total of four kinds of strange fires, which was more than enough.

As for the body of a Dou Zong level cultivator, Yun Shan's corpse was still well preserved inside the storage ring...

"Oh, right." Xiao Fan suddenly remembered the connection between the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and looked at Xiao Yan, earnestly instructing him: "The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has a special secret technique. If you get too close to the corpses of your clansmen, they will form a special connection. If you encounter any members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan in the future, you must be careful to shield yourself from the fluctuations of their essence blood and demon core."

Xiao Yan nodded seriously upon hearing Xiao Fan's words. Judging from his senior brother's description, the so-called Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's strength was probably comparable to that of the Soul Palace. The Soul Palace alone was enough to keep him busy, so Xiao Yan naturally dared not relax.
