Chapter 357 Refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet
In the center of a huge bluestone platform, a huge medicine cauldron stood in it. Next to the cauldron stood a handsome young man and an old man who looked a little unreal.

"Teacher, I will be able to help you refine your body soon. Are you happy?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile, looking at Yao Lao beside him.

Hearing this, Yao Lao stroked his white beard, the smile on his face was self-evident, and then he rolled his eyes and said, "What a joke! Refining a body is not a matter of one day or one night, and it cannot be interrupted in the middle. You kid actually asked me to use the body of the Sky Demon Phoenix to revive. Although this can greatly increase my strength and have unlimited potential in the future, the time and effort I put in are immeasurable, and I will have to fight against the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan in the future, so..."

"So what?" Xiao Yan curled his lips and asked.

"Didn't you get two Dou Zun's bodies? The four-star Dou Zun's one is very good, enough for me to use, and it takes less time. Why don't you use that body to resurrect!" Yao Lao said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan curled his lips and said disdainfully: "That Dou Zun is too weak. How can he be qualified to be a teacher if I can crush him to death with one foot? Stop joking."

"Uh..." After hearing Xiao Yan's arrogant words, Yao Lao's mouth twitched a little. Although Xiao Yan was able to do it with the help of his strength at that time, when he thought that this Dou Zun was trampled to death by Xiao Yan, Yao Lao felt inexplicably disgusted.

Yao Lao originally thought that he would be lucky enough to be resurrected with a Dou Zong's body, but now facing a Dou Zun, he actually began to feel a little disgusted. It must be said that Xiao Yan's strength gave Yao Lao a lot of confidence.

“Since you insist on using the body of the Sky Demon Phoenix to resurrect me, the current defensive strength of the Tianxia Association is far from enough!” Yao Lao stroked his beard. He was not such a pretentious person. He just didn’t want to waste Xiao Yan’s energy before. After all, he didn’t know when the people from the Soul Palace would come again.

The Soul Palace had lost several guardians in a row, and the two palace masters guarding the northwest continent were even killed by Xiao Yan. He didn't believe that the Soul Palace would not retaliate.

Xiao Yan wanted to resurrect Yao Lao in order to resist the invasion of Soul Palace. Although Xiao Yan and Yao Lao could kill a Dou Zun together, Yao Lao estimated that his strength was only comparable to a seven-star Dou Zun. Xiao Yan was very clear about the strength of Soul Palace. Not to mention Dou Zun, there were also many Dou Shengs.

Of course, the reason why Xiao Yan wanted to resurrect Yao Lao was not entirely to resist the Soul Palace. The ranking of a force on the continent did not depend on how many people it had, but on the peak combat power of this force.

If the highest combat power of this force is a Dou Zong expert, then it is a first-rate force in the Northwest Continent and a second-rate force in Zhongzhou.

But if there is a Dou Zun in this force, it will be a first-rate force in the whole Zhongzhou. Even if it unifies the entire Northwest Continent, it is only natural and no one will object. This is the rule of the Douqi Continent.

When communicating with Yao Ye before, Xiao Yan was very clear about this truth. All the conspiracies and dynasty struggles were nothing but a game in front of the real strong ones.

Once you reach the level of Dou Zun, as long as you plan to create a force, you can quickly create a first-class force, and everyone will flock to you.

As for the Fighting Saint, he is an existence that can easily open up space and control as much territory as he wants. He simply disdains these petty fights and only wants to focus on breakthroughs in seclusion. Therefore, even in Zhongzhou, you will rarely see the Fighting Saint take action.

Xiao Yan let out a breath, because after helping Yao Lao refine his body, he could also be a hands-off boss and travel around Zhongzhou, so he couldn't wait.

Of course, what Yao Lao said was true. Although the Tianxia Association was developing very well, in the Black Horn Region, the peak combat power was only at the peak of Dou Huang, and there was not even a Dou Zong. It had to be said that it was a bit shabby. But there was nothing that could be done about it. Almost all the Dou Zongs in the Black Horn Region were killed by Xiao Yan. Those strong men hiding in the dark also chose to flee far away because they were afraid of Xiao Yan. Therefore, the Tianxia Association has not had a Dou Zong so far.

As for Medusa, who was far away in the Gama Empire, she was probably still busy settling the snake people! Even if they were settled, it would take some time to reach the Black Horn Region.

Xiao Yixiang is also helping Yao Ye deal with the masters of the empire, and will not come to the Black Horn Region for the time being.

"Looks like I need to get a few Heavenly Demon Puppets." Xiao Yan's lips curled up into a smile, and he took out an ordinary gray-brown bamboo slip from the ring and placed it in his hand.

When Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan took out a scroll of bamboo slips, his eyes lit up and he asked with a faint smile, "Do you want to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet?"

"Yes! This Tian Yaokui is a good thing! Not only is it powerful and extremely hard, it is also not afraid of pain. It can also absorb lightning to advance. It is really a must-have for alchemists at home and traveling." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded and said.

"Haha, I think you have wanted to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet for a long time!" Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully. Ever since Xiao Yan obtained the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet, he has been studying it almost every day. He really wanted to refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet, but he was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he had been holding back.

“Hehe! Teacher actually saw through it. But don’t worry, teacher. After the Heavenly Demon Puppet is refined, I will give you one. This way, you won’t be afraid of thunder tribulations when you refine pills in the future.” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yao Lao was also somewhat tempted. In the past, when refining those high-level elixirs, the most annoying thing was the thunder tribulation. If one was not careful, the elixir would be destroyed or even the person would die. If he had a good Heavenly Demon Puppet, he could save a lot of effort.

"Why do I feel like you knew about refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet a long time ago?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan suddenly, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had started collecting materials for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet a long time ago.

Four materials are needed to refine the Heavenly Demon King, namely the body, magic core, soul and special metal. Xiao Yan started collecting the body and soul very early.

When Xiao Yan was in the Chuyun Empire, he collected the body and soul of Xie Bi Yan, and also collected the souls of the three guardians of the Soul Palace.

He came to the Black Horn Region to participate in the Black Emperor Sect's auction and got two seventh-level magic cores. In the subsequent battle, he even took away the soul of Protector Xuan, as well as the body and soul of the old demon.

Later, he collected the bodies and souls of the two hall masters of the Soul Hall, and took away the bodies of Mo Tianxing and Old Man Yingshan before leaving. Previously, it was thought that Xiao Yan collected these bodies to help him refine the body, but now it seems that this kid knew from the beginning that he wanted to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, so he started collecting materials very early.

"Ahem, with the addition of the seventh-tier magic core I got from the old Earth Demon and the seventh-tier magic core I got from the Black Emperor Sect's treasury, it's just enough!" Xiao Yan said, coughing awkwardly twice.

There is no eighth-level magic core now, so the idea of ​​using the body of the Soul Palace Master to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet will have to be put on hold.
