"Senior, is there something you're having trouble saying?" Xiao Yan then asked.
It's obvious without asking that the changes in the Dan family are related to the Spirit Clan. If I can get some information from this, it will be beneficial to my next move.
Danqiu's eyes were filled with helplessness. She waved her hand and walked back into the courtyard without saying another word.
Faced with such a straightforward rejection, Xiao Yan had no other options.
"We have come as promised, and since they decided to cancel themselves, they can't blame us," Little Fairy Doctor comforted them.
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement, and the two left side by side.
……
Back inside the Dan family compound, Dan Qiu sighed deeply, her eyes filled with pity. She eventually walked to a bedroom in the core area of the Dan family compound.
Danqiu pushed open the door and entered; there were already two people inside.
"Clan leader, young clan leader," Danqiu said respectfully.
Sitting and standing in the room were Dan Ren, the current patriarch of the Dan family, and Dan Xuan, the young patriarch. Both of them had worried expressions on their faces; they were concerned about the woman on the bed.
The girl had delicate features, gentle eyes and brows, and a pale complexion, looking extremely weak. Only those within the Dan family knew that she had been bedridden for a year without ever showing any signs of waking.
If this were to get out, probably no one would believe it. In the Dan family, where alchemists are numerous and skilled, and backed by the powerful Dan Tower, how could they possibly be powerless against someone whose life is still intact?
Danqiu walked to the girl's bedside and gently stroked the girl's bloodless face. Thinking of the girl's past obedient behavior, Danqiu was overwhelmed with sorrow and couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing this, Danxuan clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips turning white.
"Father, we really..."
Before Dan Xuan could finish speaking, Dan Ren raised his right hand to stop him, saying, "No need to say more. All the elders from the Pill Tower have already come; I believe they will find a solution!"
However, Dan Ren spoke without any confidence, as the girl on her sickbed had been asleep for a year. Dozens of alchemists of the eighth rank or above had come, but none of them had a single clue.
The sick girl on her bed was far too important to the Dan family, so important that the Dan family absolutely could not abandon her. However, her body was far too weak, and many eighth-grade alchemists dared not easily take action against her.
"My sister has been in a coma for a year. If this continues, even if she wakes up, her future will be ruined given her weakened state!"
Dan Ren's brows furrowed deeply, but he showed no sign of backing down: "You know very well the significance of the Pill Tower to the Dan family. We absolutely cannot abandon the Pill Tower!"
Unable to disobey the person before him, Danxuan finally looked at the girl on the bed and murmured, "But my sister is the future of the Dan family. Why should the Cao family be able to change their allegiance so easily..."
"Danxuan, I don't want to hear these words a second time!"
……
"Brother Xiao Yan, we've been waiting for you!" Haika looked at Xiao Yan in front of him and adopted the most amiable tone, as if he was worried that he would scare the person in front of him away.
The disciples of Haika couldn't help but laugh at this scene. Ever since Xiao Yan's visit, their teacher had been longing for him every day, as if he were her beloved. If it weren't for the fact that Guild Master Xuanyi had clearly stated that Xiao Yan was in seclusion and shouldn't be disturbed, their teacher would probably have gone to find him herself long ago.
At this moment, Xiao Yan looked at Haika with great enthusiasm and felt a little uncomfortable and awkward.
Haika, however, very naturally put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulder. Compared to Haika's muscular build, Xiao Yan appeared extremely thin.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you've been in seclusion for so long, and I've come up with many new forging ideas. The most crucial element for these is your unique fire. Come, let's give it a try!"
Xiao Yan could only nod with a forced smile at the eager Haika, who was currently in high spirits, and Xiao Yan had come to ask for a favor. Compared to alchemy, helping with forging was indeed not a difficult task; Xiao Yan only needed to release his strange fire and didn't need to worry about anything else.
During the three days of forging that followed, Xiao Yan once again observed Haika's control over the flames up close. Unlike the natural control that most alchemists have over flames, Haika used the wind to drive the fire. Even the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame was handled with exceptional ease by Xiao Yan without his conscious effort.
In Xiao Yan's view, this technique was extremely innovative! Although he himself couldn't use his own wind to control others' flames, the method of using wind to control fire was itself very novel, and even Yao Lao hadn't truly studied it in depth. Moreover, Xiao Yan could foresee that after understanding the principles of this fighting technique, his control over flames would reach a new level.
Cultivation is not rigid; flexibility and adaptation are essential to forging one's own path. Haika has clearly dedicated his entire life to exploring and refining this skill. The fighting technique Haika uses now is worlds apart from the Fire-Blowing Palm.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and when Haika's last hammer fell, a medicine cauldron appeared out of nowhere!
"Excellent! Excellent! To achieve this in just three days, Brother Xiao Yan, you deserve all the credit!"
"Master Haika's skills are truly breathtaking!"
Xiao Yan's praise was not just empty words, but genuine. Although the medicine cauldron forged by Haika could not compare to his own Black Demon Medicine Cauldron, which ranked high on the Heavenly Cauldron List, it was by no means an ordinary item.
"Brother Xiao Yan, whatever you ask for, I, Haika, will do my utmost to help." He then turned to his disciples and said, "You lot, from now on, Master Xiao Yan is our honored guest. Whenever he comes, don't bother announcing; just invite him in!"
The disciples nodded knowingly; they could easily see Xiao Yan's importance in their teacher's heart.
Xiao Yan replied, "Forging isn't urgent. I'd like to ask Master Haika to teach you his unique fire control technique!"
Upon hearing this, Haika suddenly understood and laughed heartily: "So you're interested in the Wind-Boosting Palm technique. I made a scroll for you before. Wait for me to find it."
Haika rummaged through his storage ring and soon presented a scroll to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan smiled and thanked him.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I actually have many more thoughts to share, please listen to me..."
At this moment, one of Haika's disciples interjected, "Teacher, President Xuanyi said that you cannot keep Master Xiao Yan for too long."
