## Alchemy

When Lin Feng measured Xiao Yan's abilities with the talent measuring device he found that he has a gift for alchemy and pill making. Considering his talent for the fire arts Xiao Yan is extremely sensitive to the changes of fire and even possesses the 7 primordial fires including the Nanming Primordial Fire which boosts his talent in pill cultivation.

Lin Feng put Xiao Yan in charge of the Celestial Golden Pavilion, the complex where pills are cultivated in the Celestial Sect of Wonders for obvious reasons.

Due to having an aura similar to Wen Chiyang the Cauldron of Divine Lands ostracize Xiao Yan much to his chagrin. However after a long time with the cauldron the 2 started to become a little bit closer.

Xiao Yan's pill cultivation is extremely unorthodox.

* He raises the temperature and heat of the fire to extremely dangerous levels which would cause the crucible to be on the verge of exploding but with extreme control does not take the last step which would ensure an explosion. This method ensures the pill to be of high quality but causes long term damage to the cauldron as a result after the pill cultivation he nourishes the cauldron.
* Usually when an alchemist cultivates a pill he avoids a pill tribulation that causes the pill's inner demon to manifest because once the tribulations occur the difficulty rises and the chance of success becomes 10% or less. However, Xiao Yan actively pursues the tribulation and overcomes the demons in order to ensures the pill quality to rise. For Xiao Yan the chance of successfully overcoming the tribulation when he started pill cultivating in the Nascent Soul was 50% but now as an Immortal Soul cultivator rose even higher.

## Cultivation

Xiao Yan was praised as a genius in his youth due to almost completing his qi -circle in a few years in Wuzhou City and was almost accepted into the Great Void Sect. However suddenly his cultivation started regressing and he returned to being a normal person due to the 2 rings (Yan Mingyan/Tuntun) sucking his mana from him.

Xiao Yan had a talent and seemed to be born to control and manipulate the 7 primordial flames. His cultivation mostly revolves around the control and mixing of these legendary flames.

Xiao Yan also seems to have been born with a connection with the Netherworld Sea. This is a result of being exposed to the aura of the Netherworld Sea and Wen Chiyang within the cycle of Samsara. As a result, he is able to wield the Nefarious Almighty Sword and even direct the power of the Netherworld Sea and as his cultivation increased this connection only deepened.

* Xiao Yan completes his Qi-circle with the Art of Acalanatha
* In his Foundation Establishment stage he completes a supreme altar and supreme crucible. Upon close inspection Lin Feng finds out that his crucible isn't only formed by his mantra but the explosive force of the primordial flames he owns. The flames seem to swirl and gather within the crucible.
	+ Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Grand Sun Primordial Fire

* Xiao Yan's aurous core is named the primordial aurous core that store and cultivate the primordial flames he owns
	+ Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Grand Sun Primordial Fire, Nanming Primordial Fire, Pure Yang Primordial Fire
* Xiao yan cultivated the 4 Appearance Heaven Cleaving Script with his 5 Primordial Fires in his Nascent Soul Stage.
	+ Xiao Yan's Cosmic Form like his disciples and master takes the form of a huge giant with 4 faces and 8 arms symbolizing the 4 Appearance heaven cleaving script and the 8 Triagrams respectively. Xiao Yan combines his mantras with the 5 primordial fires he owns. The Pure Yang Primordial fire forms the giant's torso and body supporting the 4 heads, and the other flames forms the 4 heads. The head formed by the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire was bluish-purple and had an air of dominance as it released an ear-splitting roar. The Grand Sun Primordial Fire transformed into a pure-golden head that was so blinding, much like staring at the sun with naked eyes, that the others had to shift their gazes away. The golden head formed from the Nanming Primordial Fire had a pair of eyes that were radiating red and blue colors. The Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze morphed into a head that was emanating with black energy that was so dark and murky that its facial features were obscured and blurry.
	+ Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Grand Sun Primordial Fire, Nanming Primordial Fire, Pure Yang Primordial Fire, Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze
* Immortal Soul takes the from of the Burning Taiji that contains the primordial fire lotuses he cultivated.
	+ "With a well-practiced cultivation, controlling the burning flame becomes easy. As the Celestial Sect Fire Lotus gives me strength, I become the God of Flames in countless worlds!"
	+ Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Grand Sun Primordial Fire, Nanming Primordial Fire, Pure Yang Primordial Fire, Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, True Torch of Kṣitigarbha, Red Lotus Primordial Fire
	+ During his trip to the Netherworld Sea, Xiao Yan had the good fortune of encountering Wen Chiyang's Holy Light of Creation the Nine Suns Diving Light which he absorbed and due to Xiao Yan's similarities with Wen Chiyang the light went into his forehead like water into a lake.
	+ Due to Xiao Yan's connection with the Netherworld Sea he is able to refine the sea and use it's strength in the form of a red light called the Heavenly Calamity that destroys everything.

The name of his abode is Inferno Precipice
