"It's a long story, let's not get into it for now."
Xiao Shaobei's palm emitted a glow, protecting the Yin Yang Evil Saint's soul.
"Come with me back to the Xiao Clan first. There's a place there to nurture souls, which can help you recover your soul power."
The Yin Yang Evil Saint nodded slightly, saying no more.
"Do you have anything else?" Xiao Shaobei turned to look at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head. "My promise is fulfilled."
Xiao Shaobei nodded slightly, and a crack suddenly appeared in the space before him.
"Consider this a favor I owe you," he said with a slight smile to Xiao Yan. With a step, he vanished into the space.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao Yan with envy. "To have the Clan Head owe you a favor…"
A favor from a Nine Star Dou Saint was an enormous thing. It meant that after the Imperial Son became a Dou Saint, he would have a powerful supporter within the core of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. "Just a small favor from a Nine Star Dou Saint."
The gains from this were simply too great.
The Yin Yang Evil Saint's ability to assist in dual cultivation, the Yin Yang Holy Flame that could help with dual cultivation after evolution, and now a favor from a Nine Star Dou Saint.
With the inheritance of the Yin Yang Evil Saint, Xiao Yan was even more eager to go to the Northwest Continent to find beautiful women, no, to find the different flames.
"Young Master, what's next?" Xiao Wen asked, looking at Xiao Yan.
"Let's go back to the Dan Tower next," Xiao Yan said with a smile.
After preparing for a while at the Dan Tower, he could head to the Northwest Continent.
Deep within the Yao Clan, Yao Ling sat quietly in her palace. Her pretty face was cold, and her snow-white skin glowed, like a beautiful woman carved from white jade.
Between her long eyelashes, a powerful soul energy was slowly brewing. After breaking through to Dou Ancestor, her soul strength had increased again, reaching the peak of the seventh rank.
It wouldn't be long before she could attempt to break through to the eighth rank.
The Spirit Realm, which had troubled countless seventh-rank alchemists in the outside world, was nothing to her, the Holy Maiden of the Yao Clan.
An eighth-rank alchemist under the age of twenty was a peerless genius, even in the Yao Clan, that was rarely seen in a thousand years.
"Buzz!" Invisible spatial fluctuations rose, and a handsome young man appeared in the palace.
"Brother, you're back." Yao Ling's beautiful eyes opened, and her gaze towards Yao Tian was filled with surprise and anticipation. She really wanted to know if her brother had properly dealt with that scoundrel.
Although she no longer harbored any killing intent towards Xiao Yan, it would still be satisfying to see that bastard get beaten up by her brother.
"Sigh." Looking at his sister's expectant eyes, Yao Tian suddenly sighed softly.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Yao Ling's expression changed slightly.
"Sister." Yao Tian hesitated for a long time, finally speaking slowly, "What do you think of Xiao Yan?"
"Despicable, vulgar, shameless." Yao Ling blurted out without thinking.
"I think so too." Yao Tian nodded.
"But, is it possible for you to try accepting him?" Yao Tian said, steeling himself.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Yao Ling's beautiful eyes widened, and a hint of anger flickered within them.
What exactly had that scoundrel done? How had he changed her brother so much?
"I met the Xiao Clan's clan head," Yao Tian sighed again.
Yao Ling was taken aback.
"That Xiao Yan isn't the Xiao Clan's Holy Son, but an Imperial Son. Ling'er, do you know what an Imperial Son means in the Xiao Clan?"
Yao Ling shook her head, confused.
"It means that Xiao Yan's status is equal to that of the Xiao Clan's clan head."
Yao Ling's eyes widened again.
Ignoring Yao Ling's surprise, Yao Tian continued, "As far as I know, the two Imperial Sons previously established by the Xiao Clan are also Nine Star Dou Saints now."
Upon hearing this, a look of shock appeared on Yao Ling's face.
A Nine Star Dou Saint, the most peak-level expert on the continent. Among the ancient seven clans, five of them didn't even have such a powerhouse. Yet, the Xiao Clan already had three, openly.
Any one of them possessed the terrifying strength to suppress the entire Yao Clan.
And Xiao Yan being established as an Imperial Son, did that mean the Xiao Clan also acknowledged that he had the potential to become a Nine Star Dou Saint?
Thinking of this, a complex expression appeared on Yao Ling's face.
"If Xiao Yan truly becomes a Nine Star Dou Saint in the future, he might not be unworthy of you, actually."
Yao Tian finally spoke.
"Hmph, I would rather marry a useless man than be his woman."
Yao Ling's pretty face was cold.
"I'm just telling you what I've learned from this trip. It's your choice whether or not to choose him."
Yao Tian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't vent your anger this time."
"Brother, you've already done your best." Yao Ling lowered her beautiful eyes.
Encountering the Xiao Clan's clan leader, let alone her brother, the young clan leader, even the clan leader himself wouldn't have much recourse.
Yao Tian nodded and silently disappeared from the room.
"Xiao Yan…" Yao Ling murmured softly, closed her eyes, and resumed her cultivation.
But this time, the three days in the ancient city came to mind again.
The tranquility of her heart was now stirred by a subtle heat, a touch of restlessness.
"Annoying!" Yao Ling slammed her hand down, leaving cracks on the bed made of thousand-year-old jade.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the clouds crimson, the bustling Holy Pill City began to wind down after a long day.
"Class, that's all for today. You've all proven yourselves to be true alchemical prodigies, and your progress in these past few days has been quite remarkable."
A middle-aged alchemist looked at the alchemical prodigies below with a smile.
However, when his gaze landed on a pale-faced, beautiful young girl with a delicate aura in the corner, his brow furrowed slightly.
But then, thinking of the young man who was always by the girl's side, his brow relaxed.
If she started lecturing, she'd probably get a beating when that young man got back.
This classmate Xiao Yan's behavior was utterly atrocious, yet no one could do anything about him.
Terrifying talent, terrifying background, and shameless to boot.
Dan Chen rested her chin on her hand, tilting her head as she gazed out the window.
"Classes are over, and you're still daydreaming?" A lazy voice drifted over, and a tall girl in red slowly approached.
Dan Chen snapped back to reality, glancing at Cao Ying, her cheeks flushed.
"Let's talk it over again, how about you let Xiao Yan be mine?"
Cao Ying narrowed her long, beautiful eyes.
"No." Facing Cao Ying's forceful attitude, Dan Chen, surprisingly, rejected with a stern expression on her small face.
"Really not okay?" Cao Ying stared at her former good friend.
Dan Chen shook her head.
"I really don't know what to do with you." Cao Ying suddenly laughed, her face radiating a bewitching aura.
"In that case, we'll have to share a husband."
Dan Chen's face flushed even redder, but she still didn't speak.
"What, what did I just hear?" A flippant joking voice came from the doorway.
Dan Chen and Cao Ying quickly turned their heads towards the door. There, a black-robed young man was standing, looking at them with a mischievous smile.
