Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Therefore, after Yao Lao had passed the "Burning Decision" to Xiao Yan for cultivation, he no longer considered Xu Ran a threat.

If Xiao Yan could really do as the "Burning Decision" dictated and even if he only devoured three or four ordinary Strange Fires, he would be more than capable of becoming an incredibly powerful Dou Sheng in the future. Even though Xiao Yan's current strength was not impressive, his future was boundless.

Therefore, Yao Lao had always held hope for Xiao Yan.

The source of this hope was the "Burning Decision".

"Hand over the 'Burning Decision' to me and I'll spare your life. A wise man knows when to submit. Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand, so you should make the right decision," Xu Ran said with a smile.

"This is the 'Burning Decision'. Take it," Yao Lao sighed deeply after a long time, and at the same time, an ancient scroll appeared in the hands of Xu Ran.

"Is this the 'Burning Decision'?"

Xu Ran read the contents at a glance, feeling elated in his heart.

Previously, Xu Ran was able to discern some principles of fusion, but now the records in the "Burning Decision" were enough to give him much inspiration. If the "Burning Decision" allowed for strengthening by absorbing fire, then perhaps there were other paths for absorbing and devouring various elemental powers to become stronger?

A bold conjecture began to form in Xu Ran's mind.

You should know that even when Xiao Yan left the Fighting Spirit Continent, he still made a resounding name for himself in the Great Thousand World with its countless planes.

The "Burning Decision" is truly the most precious thing in the Fighting Spirit Continent.

Everything else, even the Dou Di Origin, has only limited value, but the "Burning Decision" brought limitless possibilities to cultivators.

Ordinary people, even if they obtained such a technique, would lament their inability to devour powerful flames. But it was different for the strong.

"Congratulations, Four-Star Alchemist,"

Having secured the "Burning Decision", Xu Ran teased Xiao Yi Xian.

He had not anticipated that Xiao Yi Xian could genuinely concoct Fourth-Grade Elixirs; it seems that her alchemy talent was truly astonishing. Although Xu Ran had given her an advantage, without natural talent, she wouldn't have been able to grasp so much in such a short time.

"Lord Xu Ran, there are too many prying eyes here. Shall we discuss this inside?" Fokelan and Master Otto came over.

The entire hall was going mad, and if it weren't for the influence of people like Fokelan, those men would probably have rushed over by now.

Xiao Yi Xian had earned the respect of everyone with her victory this time.

Fokelan and the others knew that Xiao Yan's ability to concoct Fourth-Grade Elixirs was actually cheating, and his real level was that of a Second Tier Alchemist. Although his talent was decent, it appeared plain when compared with Xiao Yi Xian's.

The moment Xiao Yi Xian concocted the Fourth-Grade Elixir, in their eyes, she had surpassed them.

Their lifetime achievements were already destined to progress no further, but Xiao Yi Xian was still very young.

In the future, even Gu He would have to look up to the figure of Xiao Yi Xian.

"Ahhhh!"

```

"Xiao Yi Xian is so amazing. Is this what makes those prodigies shine? It turns out there are so many super geniuses in this world; compared to Xiao Yi Xian, even Xue Mei and Feilin are nothing."

"A Four-Star Alchemist, such a young Four-Star Alchemist. I'm afraid even Grandmaster Gu He will not be able to compare with Xiao Yi Xian in the future."

"I just overheard that Xiao Yi Xian became so strong all thanks to him... That person is not any ordinary figure, it's Lord Xu Ran who has been making waves in the Jia Ma Empire these days! It's with Lord Xu Ran's help that Xiao Yi Xian has become a Four-Star Alchemist!"

```

At that moment, someone revealed Xu Ran's identity.

Suddenly, the hall became even more raucous, if Fokelan and Otto themselves seemed almost unable to contain themselves.

Now everyone knew that a Seventh Rank Alchemist had emerged in the Jia Ma Empire; anyone would hope to find this legendary figure and ask for his help, as obtaining just one elixir could skyrocket one's status.

So, when Xu Ran's news was exposed, the entire Alchemist Guild was in an uproar.

"Let's go," Xu Ran said with some helplessness, hurriedly pulling Xiao Yi Xian by the hand towards the room Fokelan had prepared for him.

They had to leave quickly, or who knows how many people would come looking for him.

Although Xu Ran never took these people seriously, they were, after all, his admirers; he couldn't just kill them outright. Xu Ran, despite having killed many people, was not always a slaughterer and would not act against these individuals.

"Hehe. You sure have a lot of clout."

"But you're not just a Seventh Rank Alchemist, huh." Xiao Yi Xian blinked her eyes, not the least bit shy in Xu Ran's embrace, instead feeling somewhat proud. This was her man, the most eye-catching existence wherever he went.

If just being a Seventh Rank Alchemist could drive the whole Jia Ma Empire mad like that, what if those guys knew that Xu Ran's alchemy skills were far superior to that of a Seventh Rank Alchemist, wouldn't that be...

By then, probably the entire Northwest Continent would be thrown into chaos, and even Zhongzhou would be shaken.

...

Tagore Great Desert.

Desert City.

After leaving Heiyan City, Xu Ran and his party entered the Tagore Great Desert.

Xu Ran's destination was to meet the Ice Emperor Haibo Dong.

Now that he had obtained the Burning Decision, Xu Ran naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to pursue Strange Fire.

As they entered Desert City, the passersby became increasingly numerous, and the men there were mostly bare-chested, their bodies tanned and rugged, giving off a frank and hearty vibe. Occasionally, the women, although their skin was also slightly dark, had a sexy, bronzed hue. The women here were not as reserved and shy as those in The Empire; they wore tight leather outfits that barely covered their breasts and modesty, exposing their slender waists boldly. Their long and taut legs were also scantily clad in short skirts or shorts, moving with a serpentine grace that held a captivating charm.

Xiao Yi Xian walked beside Xu Ran, constantly wiping the sweat from her face. Behind her, Xue Mei and Feilin wore attractive maid outfits.

"It's so hot. Xu Ran, what are you doing here?"

"I might even get a tan at this rate." Xiao Yi Xian pouted her lips, although she was well-prepared with many sun-protection items, the weather here was still too harsh for her.

"I'm here to take care of some things. Being here will be beneficial for you as well. The desert is rich in fire elements, which is great for cultivators with fire affinity; training here can be very efficient. It's a good experience for you too," Xu Ran said indifferently, heading towards a map shop called "Gu Tu." The shop did not flaunt the luxury of other stores and had an understated, ancient charm.
