EPISODE 25

After Xiao Yan defeated the arrogant Bai Cheng...

...the man behind the curtain, Tyrant Spear Liu Qing, revealed himself.

Fortunately, with the intervention of Lin Xiu Ya and others...

...the tension between the two sides was temporarily softened.

After taking Bai Cheng's spot in the rankings...

...Xiao Yan was frustrated by the endless stream of students from \Nthe Inner Academy who came to challenge him every day.

After learning from Lin Yan, who was cured of the Fire Poison, that Lin Xiu Ya and Liu Qing were ranked second and third on the Strong Rankings...

...Xiao Yan remained undaunted \Nand determined to break into the Strong Ranking's top ten.

The mysterious No. 1 on the Strong Ranking, \Nwho can make Lin Yan's face turn pale with fear...

...also piqued Xiao Yan's curiosity.

Teacher, we've now got the Flame Core Ganoderma and the \NGreenwood Celestial Vine to make the Ground Spirit Pill.

(T/N: Reminder - The Ground Spirit Pill is necessary for absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame).

We just need the Dragon's Ice Fire Fruit and \Nthe Rank-6 Water Magic Beast Core.\N

Mmm.

Let's try our luck at the Academy's Herb Storehouse.

Fellow student, this is the herb storehouse.

If it isn't important, please leave.

Student Xiao Yan, here to see Elder Hao.

Xiao Yan?

Elder Hao has said that if Xiao Yan visits, \Nhe is allowed to enter.

Please follow me.

I assume you're not here just to see me.

(T/N: 无事不登三宝殿 - An idiom that means to visit someone with an ulterior motive or to ask for something)

Tell me!

What's the real reason for seeing me today?

Elder Hao,

I've come to the storehouse today to see \Nif I can find a herb that I need.

Mmm.

I'm going to upfront then.

How about you trade one Dragon Strength Pill \Nfor the herb you wish to take from this storehouse?

Thoughts?

You mustn't think I'm taking advantage of you.

This herb that you're having trouble finding \Nmust be very rare.

Trading a pill for a rare herb \Nwould benefit you more.

If there really is a Dragon's Ice Fire Fruit, \Nthen it's worth trading a Dragon Strength Pill for.

Very well, \NI'll follow Elder Hao's advice.

Take your time finding what you need.

The herbs in there are marked with energy traces.

If you move them around, \NI'll be able to detect it.

Don't worry, Elder. \NXiao Yan is not a greedy man.

The Inner Academy really is amazing!

There are so many medicinal herbs.

So this is where all the good stuff is!

Blood Python Branch?

Of course the Inner Academy's storehouse even has \Nthe main ingredient for the Fighting Spirit Pill.

(T/N: Dou Ling Pill, aka Fighting Spirit Pill has the ability to raise a Dou Wang's strength level by one star. \NGiven that a mere star at this level is a huge gap, this pill is extremely sought after by cultivators.)

A Dragon's Ice Fire Fruit!

I finally found it!

The Inner Academy indeed has a big collection.\NThey even have rare herbs like this.

Who might you be?

Why did you steal my fruit?

It's a little girl?!

Zi Yan

No, don't!

(T/N: 金刚菩 or Jīngāng pú is known as Vajra Bodhi or Vajra Bodhisattva, which one can find strung as beads on a string. \NVajra means Thunderbold or Diamond, and Bodhi refers to one who is on the path towards Buddha-hood. The LN refers to this as "Hard Gold Pu".)

That Vajra Bodhi is hard as iron!

She's actually...

Don't eat that!

This power!

You want to take this from me?

I'm in a good mood today, \Nso I won't hit you.

You should go now.

Little girl, that thing isn't tasty.

Will you return it to me?

I want to eat them \Nso I can grow up.

Growing up can take time.

Time does not work for me.

Little girl, if you eat the herbs here, \Nwon't Elder Hao come looking you?

That old man won't dare do anything to me if he finds out.

This is awful!

How about this?

If you give me that fruit, \Nthen I'll treat you to something delicious.

Nope.

It may be awful, \Nbut it's full of energy that I need.

So, how about I refine them, \Nso that they are tastier for you.

Refine?

You're an Alchemist?

I'll help refine herbs into tasty pills for you to eat, \Nif you return the Dragon's Ice Fire Fruit to me.

OK?

You'll do that for me?

Absolutely!

If the pill you make isn't tasty...

...not only will I take this back, \NI'll eat you up too!

Little girl,

I don't think you could actually eat me.

I can eat whatever I want.

You've got the fruit now...

...so you'd better make me a delicious pill!

Yes, of course.

I'll make it as soon as we're out.

But...

...I have to go see Elder Hao first.

Shall we?

Why do we have to go see that old fart?

Elder Hao...

Oh?

Xiao Yan?

Didn't expect you to return so soon.

Did you find the herb?

Many thanks, Elder Hao.\NI've found the Dragon's Ice Fire Fruit.

If Elder can now give me two sets of herbs needed for \Nthe Dragon Strength Pill, and an alchemy room...

...I'll refine them right away.

I'll grab you the herbs...

Y-Y-Y-You!

Why are you here again?

Every now and then you come to have a feast!

Do you think I'm running a restaurant?

*Sigh*

Why did you bring this little devil here?

All the herbs you need are in that ring.

Elder, who's that person any way?

Person?!

Who said she is a 'person'?

Hey!

How much longer are you going to talk?

Hurry and make my pill now!

Or I'll tear this place apart!

Don't be scared, it's OK.

Scared?

Who said I was scared?

No wonder she's able to eat herbs raw.

Turns out she's a Magical Beast!

These raw herbs can be quite potent, but they're well within the thresholds of what a beast's strong body can handle.

Little girl...

...I recall that if a Magical Beast can become human, \Nyou need to be at least the same rank as Dou Huang, right?

(Dou Huang = Fighting Emperor = 7th Level)

Would you be...

I'm not that strong.

I just ate an extremely rare Transformation Herb by accident.

Next thing I knew, I became like this \Nand couldn't change back.

I'm eating all these herbs because I want to grow up quickly...

...so I can change between a beast and a human body at will.

Transformation Herb?

No wonder.

What about your parents?

I don't have any parents.

For as long as I can remember, \NI've always lived alone in the mountains.

When I was younger, I would get bullied by other guys, \Nand had to run away from them.

At least now you won't be bullied here.

The guys here are scared to death of me.

Who'd dare bully me?

I can take a bite out of people just like you.

Rise!

Here.

Try this.

But don't give it to anyone else, \Nit'll most likely kill them.

This isn't enough for me alone.

From what old man Hao said, \Nyour name is Xiao Yan, right?

These aren't bad.

I'll leave you now.

I'll look for you when I need more.

OK...

Hey, you haven't told me your name.

My name is Zi Yan.

Now she's an interesting little lady.

I forgot to mention...\NI hold to the No.1 spot in the Strong Ranking List.

If anyone bullies you, just come find me...

...I'll sort them out!

She... She's the person at the top \Nof Strong Ranking that Lin Yan is terrified of?

Teacher...

...can you tell what kind of beast she is?

Since she has eaten a Transformation Herb, \NI won't be able to tell unless she reveals herself.

While her spirit may be young, \Nher power is terrifyingly strong.

She must be \Nan extremely rare Ancient Beast.

Boy, your skills are undeniable.

This Dragon Strength Pill is perfect!

If you need any other herbs in the future, \Nyou can always come to me to discuss it.

Elder Hao, I also need a \NRank-6 Water-attribute Magical Beast Core.

I wonder if the Inner Academy has one?

That's a Dou Huang equivalent magical beast!

If Elder Hao doesn't have one, \Nthen I'll have to find it elsewhere.

Farewell.

Wait!

This Elder Liu practices a Fire-attribute Qi Method.

But fire and water don't mix, \Nso it's a waste for him to keep a Water Beast Core.

A Fire-attribute Qi Method.

Let me be clear...

...Elder Liu is very stingy!

If you want his magic core, you'll need to \Nexchange it for something extraordinary.

Old man Liu!

We've come to do business with you.

It's you again, old man Hao.

You're not getting anything out of me this time!

Go on, get away from here!

Open the door already \Nold man Liu!

It's Xiao Yan who wants to see you this time.

Elder Liu,

I...

Come in then.

My nose!!

Just you wait, old man Liu, \NI'm not done with you yet!

This Elder Liu really has a lot of treasures.

Elder Liu

This kid is indeed remarkable.

The Great Elder has asked us to give him special care, \Nbut he'll get no such thing out of me!

I'm student Xiao Yan.\NGreetings, Elder Liu.

I'm sick of all the rhetoric.

If you have something to say, \Nsay it quickly!

I'm missing one key ingredient in an Alchemy recipe.

Therefore, I'm here to trade for the \NRank-6 Water Magic Beast Core that Elder Liu has.

Sure...

...I'll trade it for a 6th-Tier Fighting Spirit Pill!

Elder Liu, surely you jest.

I can't refine a 6th-Tier pill yet.

But-

Well then, goodbye!

See yourself out!

While I can't refine a Fighting Spirit Pill, \NI've heard that you practice a Fire-attribute Qi Method.

Perhaps this may be of interest to you.

I'm not familiar with whatever it is you have there.

This is the Earth-Fire Lotus Seed.

(T/N: The Earth-Fire Lotus Seed, known in the LN as Core-Fire Lotus Seed, was found when Xiao Yan was at the Green Coloured Lotus Platform \Nwhen looking for Green Lotus Core Flame. Highly sought after as it is known as the essence of flame spirits, which takes hundreds of years to form.)

Young Xiao Yan should be well aware of the value of a Rank-6 Magic Beast Core...

...yet you want to trade it for a single Earth-Fire Lotus Seed?

I'm the one who loses out here.

If you produce one more Earth-Fire Lotus Seed, \Nthen I'll painfully give you the magic core.

Xiao Yan, don't haggle with that old man!\NIf he's doesn't trade, then forget him!

He is not the only one who has this Magic Core.

I'll take you to the Great Elder \Nand ask him for one.

You old fart!

Pain in the ass!

I came by this lotus seed by chance.

Adding another as Elder Liu has asked \Nwould be near impossible.

In that case...

...you can see yourself out.

I'll leave you to it then.

Farewell.

This kid is really leaving!

Boy!

You really don't want the magic core?

Of course I do...

...but unfortunately, \NI can't meet Elder's requirements.

One Earth-Fire Lotus Seed, \Nand one Dragon Strength Pill...

...and the Rank-6 magic core...

...is yours!

Deal!
