Chapter Twelve is indeed an oddball

  "What? What did you say?" Zi Yan almost jumped up.

  Although she was stable and calm, having experienced countless things that had long since made her unflappable, when she heard Xie Ao Yu's words, she almost jumped up.

  The charming shadow fire that can be ranked among the top five in the Devil Flame Temple is actually burning him, but he doesn't feel a thing.

  What a joke!

  "I don't feel anything." Xie Ao Yu understood that this was the doing of the three-colored sphere again, but he didn't know if such a method would cause Ya Shen Zhi's cultivation to fail.

  "Really no feeling? You little stinker, don't try to tough it out." Ziyan said.

  Xie Ao Yu smiled and said: "Do I look like I'm forcing it?"

  "You don't look like it, I do!" Zi Yan widened her beautiful eyes, "It's me who's holding on tight, I'm the one who's struggling!"

  "Huh?"

  Xie Ao Yu was shocked by Zi Yan's foul language.

  "What are you looking at? Haven't seen a beauty swear before?" Ziyan glared and said fiercely, "Even if it's a beauty swearing, it's because of you, you freak! You didn't even feel my Charm Shadow Flame burning, freak! I must study you thoroughly."

  "Alright, want me to strip naked and cooperate?" Xie Ao Yu smiled and said.

  "You stinky little brat, dare to take advantage of me!" Zi Yan suddenly increased the power of her Charm Shadow Fire.

  But this also made Xie Ao Yu feel nothing at all.

  He just felt a thread of warmth flowing out from his fingertips and into the left chest position, as if it was all absorbed by the three-color sphere gathered there.

  Those medicinal liquids and pills began to melt, gradually merging into Xie Ao Yu's fingertips.

  But these things were not sucked away by the three-color ball at the chest position, but were stored in Xie Ao Yu's fingers, making his fingers seem to have increased a bit of weight.

  As Ziyuan gradually increased the charm of the Linghuo, she carefully observed Xie Ao Yu and found that he really didn't have any reaction. This made Ziyuan sigh with emotion: "It seems you really have hope to become the second person to cultivate the Medicine God Finger."

  "Isn't there an even harder level?" Xie Ao Yu said.

  "It doesn't matter." Ziyan waved her hand, "As long as you get through this pass, you'll have enough time to cross the mountain range. There are countless rare flowers and herbs there. I'll think of a way to get some precious ones, and there's still great hope."

  Xie Ao Yu thanked her sincerely: "Thank you so much, Zi Yan jiejie."

  "Don't thank me, being able to personally create a divine medicine and point it out, I, Zi Yan, can also make a name for myself in history because of this. For me, isn't this something to be proud of for life?"

  As they chatted and laughed, those medicines had all been absorbed into Xie Ao Yu's fingertips.

  "Alright, that's it for today. Come back the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, remember to come every other day." Ziyan instructed.

  "What if I do something else, will it have any impact?" Xie Ao Yu asked.

  "No, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't cut off that finger," Ziyan said.

  That's good, Xie Ao Yu still needs to cultivate.

  Crazier cultivation!

  Four Elders Xie Kun's strength may be very poor, but he is already a high-ranking middle-aged man. He not only has to cultivate the Medicine God Finger, but also has to cultivate his Qi.

  Strength is key!

  Farewell to Ziyan, Xie Ao Yu returned to the Xie family and continued his cultivation. This time, knowing that the ferocious beast was persecuting Xie Qian, stimulated Xie Ao Yu's frenzied cultivation even more.

  "Arrogant!"

  Just back to the other courtyard, clan leader Xie Lian followed in.

  "Uncle, is there something?" Xie Ao Yu asked.

  Xie Lian's face turned extremely ugly, "Ao Yu, do you still remember what I told you about someone in our family being killed?"

  "I remember." Xie Ao Yu heard that it was about this matter and knew that it must be related to Xie Gang, he remained calm.

  "Just now, someone found Xie Gang's body!" Xie Lian clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room. "I came especially to tell you that before we catch the murderer, don't go out unnecessarily."

  Seeing Xie Lian being so concerned about himself, despite the fact that several members of the Xie family had died and he was busy to the point of exhaustion, still personally came over to inform him, this made Xie Ao Yu's heart feel warm and fuzzy.

  He even had an impulse to tell Xie Lian the truth.

  I still held back in the end.

  "Uncle, do you know what grudge my father and the Fourth Elder have?" Xie Ao Yu asked.

  "How did you suddenly ask this." Xie Lian was taken aback.

  Xie Ao Yu smiled wryly and said, "You probably also heard that Xie Zhe has been very unfriendly to me. It can be said that since my father fell into a coma, for the past three years, he has almost taken pleasure in mocking me."

  "This......" Xie Lian furrowed his brow.

  Xie Ao Yu took a look and felt that something was wrong, saying: "Uncle, just tell me, at least let me understand, can't let me be bullied like this."

  He let out a long sigh and said self-reproachfully, "It's also my fault. Xie Qian is unconscious, I didn't take good care of you, letting that scoundrel Xie Zhe bully you."

  "I don't blame Uncle." Xie Ao Yu was not only not blaming, but also very grateful. Over the past three years, he had been taking care of Xie Lian and it was all worth it to him.

  "Ah, to talk about the grudge between Xie Kun and your father, it's all because of the Autres family." Xie Lian fell into reminiscence, "Thinking back, your father and Xie Kun were once the pillars of our Xie family, one a martial arts prodigy, the other with exceptional talent as an alchemist. They should have been supporting each other, working together to make our Xie family prosper, but they ended up falling out because of the heterodox fire."

  As Xie Lian spoke, Xie Ao Yu only then learned that the Otsu family had once discovered a strange fire, but since they didn't have an alchemist, they wanted to keep this news hidden. They certainly didn't want their arch-nemesis to know about it. As for how Xie Kun found out, he went to find that person.

  The result has not been found yet, Xie Qian learned that the Otis family was going to deal with the Xie family, so he took action first, killed the Otis family, and beheaded those who knew where the alien fire was located. This made Xie Kun resentful of Xie Qian.

  "The profession of alchemist is quite special, to become a high-level alchemist, even a master or grandmaster level, two things are required. One is the formula for refining high-grade elixirs, and the other is the hetero flame. Originally, the hetero flame was within reach, but it was destroyed by your father. Xie Kun naturally would resent your father, so from then on, the two of them never spoke a word to each other again. However, your father didn't know about this matter at that time, he just heard the news and rushed back in time, so they didn't have a falling out on the spot. It wasn't until your father fell unconscious that he put aside his hatred and helped your father find a way to be cured." Xie Lian said.

  Let go of hatred?

  Seeking a cure?

  Xie Ao Yu secretly scolded Xie Kun for being despicable, it was clear that he had made a move in secret. This despicable person, I must make you pay the price for your actions.

  "It's also possible that it was him who made the move," said Xie Ao Yu.

  "It's impossible, absolutely impossible." Xie Lian didn't believe it.

  Xie Ao Yu said: "If it were him, what would Uncle do?"

  "This... " Xie Lian shook his head, "It definitely wasn't him, he's the only alchemist in our Xie family."

  Xie Ao Yu didn't ask again, Xie Lian's meaning he already understood. Of course, he also knew that Xie Lian was doing this for the entire Xie family. It seemed that he could only rely on himself now.
