Chapter 213 Lotus Root Body
"Did you know that there was no strange fire here?" Yao Lao now understood that his disciple seemed to have the ability to predict the future.

"Well, someone got there first!" Xiao Yan threw a scale he picked up nearby to Yao Lao.

"Seven-colored snake scales?" Yao Lao took the scales thrown by Xiao Yan, observed them carefully, and then said.

"The only snakeman who can take away the strange fire in this Tager Desert is Medusa, the clan leader of the snakeman tribe." Xiao Yan said lightly.

"That's true!" Yao Lao returned the seven-colored scales to Xiao Yan and nodded. He then looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled look and said, "Why aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid that Medusa will destroy your strange fire?"

"What is there to worry about? Medusa will find the strange fire and use it at most. As for destroying it, she doesn't have the time to do it!" Xiao Yan said indifferently.

Xiao Yan pointed at the green lotus platform and said, "Didn't they leave us a lot of good things? And with this place, my cultivation will be countless times faster in the future. Breaking through to the Dou Ling level this year is not a dream."

"You really know what's good. This green lotus platform is indeed a good thing. The lotus seeds on it are also first-class wonders. And just as you said, if you sit on it to practice, you will definitely be able to improve your realm quickly." Yao Lao nodded and said with great appreciation.

"Teacher, do you think lotus roots will grow here?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao, his eyes full of anticipation.

"This..." Yao Lao was stunned by Xiao Yan's question. He really didn't know if there were any lotus roots underneath. If Xiao Yan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even thought about it. After thinking for a while, he could only say uncertainly: "There should be! We can go down and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, and immediately began to dive along the roots. As Xiao Yan dived deeper, the temperature became higher and higher, and the magma became more and more viscous. If Xiao Yan did not possess the Yin and Yang flames and could actively absorb heat to replenish himself, it would have been difficult for him to reach the bottom.

In the magma, Xiao Yan kept touching the magma like fishing, trying to see if there were any lotus roots.

Xiao Yan groped in the magma for a long time and actually touched a huge lotus root. The lotus root was more than one meter long, as white as jade, and exuded a faint fragrance.

When Xiao Yan touched a lotus root, he was immediately excited and continued to explore. After a while, he touched another one. He quickly picked it up and weighed it, and found that this lotus root was actually a circle larger than the one in his hand.

Xiao Yan touched a total of lotus roots, one of which was three meters long and as thick as an adult's waist. After Xiao Yan put the lotus root into his storage ring, he headed upwards.

"How is it? I see you have been here for quite some time and your face is full of excitement. It seems that you have gained a lot!" Yao Lao said to Xiao Yan.

"Haha, nothing can be hidden from the teacher! Look, this is the lotus root below!" Xiao Yan took out a lotus root from the ring and handed it to Yao Lao.

Yao Lao took the lotus root, looked at it carefully, and said seriously: "This lotus root is more precious than the lotus stand! Not only is it full of energy, but it also contains a strong breath of life. Whoever eats it will greatly increase their strength and can live forever. It is really a first-class medicine. But it is too wasteful to eat it raw. If it is refined into a pill, it will be a treasure in the world and can bring the dead back to life."

"How many lotus roots did you get in total?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and asked expectantly.

"We got five in total, and the one you have in your hand is the smallest one." Xiao Yan said happily after hearing what Yao Lao said.

"Damn! Why are there so many?" After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Yao Lao burst into swearing.

"Teacher, do you think these lotus roots can be used to refine a body for you?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and asked. "What? You want to use such precious lotus roots to refine a body for me?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan in shock, as if he thought he had heard wrongly.

"What's so precious about it! If it can really help the teacher refine a physical body, that would be great. Although the lotus root is very effective, I don't need it, so it's better to refine a body for the teacher. However, can it be refined?" Xiao Yan said indifferently.

Seeing Xiao Yan's nonchalant look, Yao Lao knew that Xiao Yan was probably pretending. After all, who wouldn't be tempted by such a precious thing?

"Although I am your teacher, I cannot accept such a precious thing. Along the way, I have only provided you with some insignificant help. It is not worth it for you to pay so much for me." After a long silence, Yao Lao shook his head.

"Things are dead, but people are alive. Besides, I actually want to see what the teacher looks like after he turns into a lotus root. I am looking forward to it. Could it be that the teacher feels embarrassed and dares not to do it?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao with an evil smile on his face.

"Put away your cheap provocation! What do you know? If I really possess this lotus root body, not to mention surpassing you in talent, even your girlfriend Xiao Xun'er will find it hard to compare with me. Even the Little Medical Fairy's poisonous body cannot compare with it. Once you possess this lotus root body, not only will your cultivation talent become extremely terrifying, but your affinity for fire will become unparalleled, and it will be even more powerful in alchemy. What do you think? Are you willing to give it to me now?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and asked jokingly.

Xiao Yan felt a little dry-mouthed and stunned by what Yao Lao said. He didn't expect that the lotus root could have such a great effect. He even wanted to change his body into a lotus root.

However, Xiao Yan still suppressed the thoughts in his mind. Xiao Yan followed the path of using strength to righteousness, subduing the strange fire, and constantly strengthening himself. If he changed his ways in the middle of the journey, it would cause his Tao heart to be unstable and his achievements would not be too high.

Although these theories were introduced in some immortal cultivation books that Xiao Yan had read in his previous life, this theory is applicable everywhere.

Although this lotus root body is powerful, that’s all it can do. It can easily reach the level of a Dou Sheng. Xiao Yan’s goal is to become a Dou Di, or even higher, so Xiao Yan is not envious.

Yes! I am not jealous! I am not envious!

“Since it is really possible to refine a lotus root body, you can take it and study it slowly!” Xiao Yan threw all the remaining lotus roots directly to Yao Lao.

Yao Lao held the five lotus roots and felt mixed emotions. He didn't expect that even after he introduced them so well, Xiao Yan was still not interested.

Of course, while being moved, Yao Lao's opinion of Xiao Yan also changed. Even such a precious Xiao Yan was not tempted, which meant that Xiao Yan wanted to achieve higher things.

"Since you have this intention, I will definitely help you achieve it!" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said secretly in his heart.

"Teacher, should we take this lotus platform away?" Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao. Although this lotus platform is helpful for subduing the strange fire, with Yao Lao here, nothing serious will happen.

“Yes! Although you can devour the strange fire directly, but in your situation, devouring the strange fire is not a matter of one day or one night! You can only use this lotus seat to collect the strange fire first, and then come back here to meditate and devour the strange fire. Besides, you have the Yin and Yang dual flames, it is very easy to repair it.” Yao Lao knew that Xiao Yan did not want to destroy such a holy place for cultivation, but Xiao Yan did not have so many ice spirit cold springs, so it was almost impossible for him to take the strange fire away.

"That's true!" Xiao Yan nodded, and used the method given by Yao Lao to take down the green lotus seat.
