“Not bad.” Zhang Yuan smiled and said, “Half a year ago, I subdued a Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle. It led Elder Ling to find a sixth-order spiritual marrow, Heavenly Spirit Stone Marrow, in the Monster Mountain Range. It has the effect of enhancing soul power.”
"If Senior Medicine Master drinks this wine, it will be good for him to recover some of his soul power and repair some of his injuries."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately said, "Cousin, then give them all to me. I'll give some to the teacher every now and then."
"You're really not being polite." Zhang Yuan pointed at Xiao Yan, but still tossed the gourd in his hand to him.
A hint of joy appeared in Yao Lao's eyes. Any treasure that can restore soul power is extremely rare and precious.
If he drinks all of this wine, he can regain strength comparable to an ordinary Dou Zong.
"Yuan'er, Yan'er, aren't you going to introduce this senior to me?" Xiao Zhan asked.
Xun'er and Qing Yanjing showed expressions of curiosity.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and said, "Let me tell you, Father. This is my teacher. You can call him Elder Yao. He's very famous in Zhongzhou; he's known as Venerable Yao."
When Zhang Yuan spoke, Yao Lao appeared, and Xiao Yan knew that there was no need to hide some things from his father any longer, so he told him everything.
When Xiao Zhan learned that his son's three years of incompetence were related to Yao Chen, he inevitably felt angry.
Upon learning that Yao Chen was originally a peak Dou Zun, and also the number one alchemist on the continent capable of producing eighth-grade nine-colored pills (on the surface), he decisively said, "It is your luck that the senior took a liking to you and allowed you to offer your Dou Qi for three years."
Xiao Yan:? ? ?
“With Senior Yao here, Uncle, you can rest assured to entrust everything to me and Xiao Yanzi,” Zhang Yuan said meaningfully.
Xiao Zhan nodded: "After I leave, I will discuss the details of moving in with the First Elder and the Second Elder."
Just kidding. Zhang Yuan has gained the favor of the powerful Saint-level force behind Xun'er; his future as a Dou Zun is promising. (Zhang Yuan said this.)
Now that his own son has been accepted as a disciple by a peak Dou Zun and the number one alchemist on the continent, he is expected to become a Dou Zun and an eighth-grade alchemist in the future.
The Xiao family only needs to do one thing: not hold them back!
"cheers!"
Zhang Yuan raised his glass, and everyone else followed suit.
After a heart-to-heart talk and a satisfying meal,
Qing Yanjing and Xun'er cleaned up the dishes, while Yao Lao entered a long-awaited state of cultivation.
Xiao Zhan suddenly made up his mind, put down his cup and said, "Yuan'er, Yan'er, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan stood up and said, "Uncle, let's take a walk in this small world and see how things are."
Xiao Zhan readily agreed, and the three of them went to the lakeside together.
Xiao Zhan took out a box from his pocket and looked at Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yan, saying, "This contains the heirloom of my Xiao family. The patriarchs of each generation have studied it, but to no avail."
"Today, Yuan'er mentioned that our Xiao family once had a Dou Sheng powerhouse. I think this item must be extraordinary and have some special characteristics."
"It's not safe for me to keep this, and it's not of any use."
"I want to give it to Yuan'er to keep as a keepsake. What do you think, Yan'er?"
Zhang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
If I'm not mistaken, what Xiao Zhan took out should be the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
He really hadn't expected that Xiao Zhan would actually give this thing to him!
Chapter 83 The two women couldn't hold back, and their path to death was ruined!
The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the key to unlocking the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave.
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is actually Emperor Yan. His original form was most likely the Fallen Heart Flame, and secondly the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but there is no definitive conclusion.
Born between heaven and earth, it took a thousand years to take shape, ten thousand years to gather spiritual energy, and ten thousand years to cultivate in seclusion. It underwent a mutation in the dark (suspected to have obtained the Burning Technique). Unlike most strange fires that do not leave their birthplace after taking shape, it traveled along the underground magma for a thousand years, living by devouring fire. All of them were strange fires. After devouring twenty-one kinds, it named itself Emperor Flame. After cultivating for another thousand years, it broke out of the world and became the only Dou Di in tens of thousands of years, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor!
Before his death or departure, Emperor Tuoshegu left behind a mysterious tomb containing his life's collection, which is said to be the key to his becoming an emperor.
The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the key to unlocking this tomb. When it was fought over by the eight ancient clans, it was divided into eight pieces, with each clan holding one piece.
If the eight pieces of ancient jade can be reassembled, a layer of light and mist will rise from the jade, transforming into a somewhat illusory figure of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, and the location of the Ancient Emperor's cave will be in the eyes of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.
However, this was not a secret to Zhang Yuan. He knew that the Ancient Emperor's Cave was located deep in the lava below the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, and that the entrance was guarded by Zi Yan's father, Zhu Kun, making it extremely dangerous.
Zhang Yuan had once considered obtaining Xiao Zhan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, then burying it in a sufficiently secret place so that the Soul Emperor would never find it. In that case, he and the Void Devouring Flame would never be able to obtain the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and thus would be unable to begin their plan.
However, Xiao Yanzi doesn't necessarily need to use the strange fire in the Strange Fire Plaza to become an emperor. He doesn't even need the Void Devouring Flame. He only needs to collect the Xuanhuang Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame that exist on the continent.
The most precious Pure Lotus Demon Flame is not a concern, since the opportunity to obtain it is already there. As for the Xuanhuang Flame and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, they are not the only strange flames. As long as there is time, Xiao Yan can slowly search for them and eventually become an emperor.
However, this was the most cautious and safest plan. As someone who relied on cheat codes, Zhang Yuan naturally had high aspirations and more ideas.
Regardless, it was essential to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade as soon as possible, but he didn't want to scheme against Xiao Zhan.
And now, this imperial jade is right in front of us, within easy reach.
"I have no objection." Xiao Yan didn't even bother to open the box to take a look. He said casually, "My cousin is already a Dou Ling now. I estimate that he will break through to Dou Wang or even Dou Huang soon. He also controls this space."
"It's safer for him to keep this Xiao family heirloom. Besides, someone with strong abilities is more likely to discover its secrets. And the ring I have on my hand is a Zhang family heirloom, a gift from my uncle, which is how I met my teacher."
Xiao Yan gave a long list of reasons, which can be summarized in one sentence: Zhang Yuan is more suitable to possess this family heirloom than he is.
It would be a lie to say Zhang Yuan wasn't moved, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he righteously refused, saying, "Uncle, Brother Yan, let me clarify that I'm not trying to sever ties with you, but I am, after all, surnamed Zhang, and I am a member of the Zhang family."
“In the future, I will definitely rebuild the Zhang family’s or my own power. No matter how good the relationship is with the Xiao family, it is ultimately just a marriage alliance.”
"This is a treasure passed down through generations of the Xiao family, and it may be related to the inheritance of the Dou Sheng. It is not appropriate to give it to me."
His words were reasonable, well-founded, and measured, leaving Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan unable to refute them.
Zhang Yuan was ultimately there to ensure the continuation and spread of the Zhang family line. The Xiao family's inheritance was not the private property of the clan leader and could not be passed down privately.
"I was being inconsiderate," Xiao Zhan nodded. "In that case, let's wait until Yan'er's strength surpasses mine before he passes on the mantle."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan enthusiastically suggested, "Uncle, if this thing is truly a legacy of the Xiao Clan, it's inevitable that it will attract the attention of the Soul Palace. I think it would be better to leave it in this space. In any case, the Xiao family will be moving in eventually. Once Brother Yan is strong enough, we can hand it over to him for safekeeping."
"That's a good idea." Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yuan'er, you are more thoughtful. This thing is mysterious and may bring about a fatal disaster. It's best to keep it with you for now."
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement and said, "I'll come back to take it when I'm stronger and feel confident I can hold it."
So the box was still handed over to Zhang Yuan, but the ownership still belonged to the Xiao family.
Zhang Yuan originally had no interest in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade; he only had designs on scheming against the Soul Clan.
"By the way, what is this Soul Palace?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"The Soul Palace is a super power in the Central Continent." Zhang Yuan told Xiao Yan some basic information, including the glory of the Xiao Clan.
"A blood feud that wiped out our clan?" A flame flickered deep in Xiao Yan's eyes.
The three then returned to the pavilion together.
Qing Yanjing and Xun'er had just returned, and Yao Lao had just finished his cultivation. Upon seeing Xiao Yan's return, he prepared to enter the ring.
But before he could act, Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "Teacher, do you know anything about the Soul Palace?"
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Zhan cooperated by focusing their attention on Yao Chen.
Qing Yanjing showed curiosity, while Xun'er's eyes flickered slightly.
"The Soul Hall?" Yao Chen's expression changed almost imperceptibly as he asked, "How did you learn about this force?"
"Some information my cousin found out," Xiao Yan said seriously. "My Xiao family used to be the Xiao Clan, but because of this Soul Palace, we began to decline and have fallen to our current state."
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. If you are the teacher, you should know how strong the Soul Palace is, right?"
Yaochen: "."
It seems his guess was correct; the Xiao family are indeed descendants of the once-powerful Xiao clan.
Xun'er must also be from an ancient clan, and hold a very high status within that clan.
Unexpectedly, he, who had been expelled from the Yao Clan's genealogy, would encounter a descendant of the Xiao Clan in this Northwest Continent.
Xun'er: "."
The decline of the Xiao Clan was not due to the Soul Palace. The Soul Palace was nothing compared to the Xiao Clan. The powerful force was the Soul Clan behind the Soul Palace.
But she doesn't plan to say anything more about this for the time being.
"The Soul Palace is indeed very powerful." Yao Lao's gaze deepened as he said, "My current predicament is also thanks to the Soul Palace."
what! ?
Everyone looked surprised.
Of course, Zhang Yuan is an actor, and so is Xun'er.
"The Soul Palace, what a Soul Palace! This is truly a grudge both old and new!" Xiao Yan clenched his fists and said, "Teacher, rest assured, your disciple will definitely destroy the Soul Palace in the future!"
"It's good that you have the intention." The old doctor smiled gently and then said, "It's good to broaden one's horizons, but knowing too much can easily lead to despair, which is not conducive to cultivation. But since it has been brought up today, I will not hide anything from you."
"As far as I know, the Soul Hall has four Dou Sheng, among whom the Hall Master is at least three stars. I don't know the specifics, as I haven't met him and I'm not qualified to."
So scary! !
Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan both felt a suffocating pressure.
The legendary Battle Saint could easily sweep across the entire Northwest Continent.
Within the Soul Palace, there are a total of four!
No wonder that Yao Lao, who possesses the strength of a peak Dou Zun and is known as the number one alchemist on the continent with a wide network of connections, is in such a predicament.
At this moment, Xiao Yan finally understood what Yao Lao meant when he said, "Knowing too much will bring despair." In other words, Yao Lao was a self-important transmigrator who thought that after transmigrating, he should be invincible and also had the "Burning Technique" as a cheat.
A Battle Saint, is it?
They must all be killed in the future!
"Don't worry, teacher." Xiao Yan licked his lips and grinned, "The student will surpass the master. I am both a member of the Xiao clan and your disciple. I will definitely become a Dou Sheng in the future and avenge you!"
The old doctor felt a surge of relief, but even more so, he felt admiration.
He could sense that Xiao Yan wasn't arrogant, but rather possessed a strong conviction.
This time, he made the right choice and took on a good disciple!
Thinking of this, Yao Chen shook his head and said, "If it's just to avenge me, there's no need to become a Dou Sheng, not even to reach my previous level."
"Why?" Zhang Yuan asked at the opportune moment, "Could it be that the person who killed you, senior, was not as strong as you?"
