As soon as these words left his mouth, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent, followed by a chorus of rapid breaths.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, are you serious?" Before Yun Potian could speak, Yun Shan was the first to ask.
If Yun Potian could be completely revived, that would mean a true Dou Venerate powerhouse. This single Dou Venerate would be enough to place the Misty Cloud Sect at the top of the Northwest Continent once more.
"It's still a bit difficult now, but within three years at most, I'm confident I can truly revive Old Yun," Xiao Yan pondered for a moment.
Within three years, he would certainly have obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame, and perhaps even more Heavenly Flames.
And with the absorption of Heavenly Flames, his strength would inevitably increase even faster. Perhaps he himself would even be a Dou Venerate in three years.
According to the Burning诀 records, possessing more than three Heavenly Flames would grant all sorts of incredible abilities, such as assisting in reviving someone.
In fact, even without considering his own strength, the Xiao Clan's foundation had many methods to help revive people, it was just that the soul and body wouldn't be able to merge perfectly.
Perhaps the Yin Yang Evil Saint was being resurrected with the help of the Xiao Clan's patriarch at this very moment.
"If young friend Xiao Yan can help me resurrect my body, I truly won't know how to repay this great kindness. Yun Potian's life is yours," Yun Potian, floating above his spirit tablet, clasped his hands in a bow towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, the many elders of the Misty Cloud Sect also stood up and bowed to Xiao Yan.
If Xiao Yan could completely resurrect Yun Potian, then they, the people of the Misty Cloud Sect, would likely rise with him.
Their backing would suddenly change from a Dou Emperor to a Dou Venerate; how exhilarating that would be!
Xiao Yan didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Yun Yun and her disciple beside him.
Yun Yun was about to express her gratitude when Xiao Yan stopped her.
"Be a bit more practical," Xiao Yan's voice whispered into Yun Yun's ear.
"Something more practical," Yun Yun said, a little awkwardly.
"Shouldn't Sect Leader Yun be throwing herself into my arms and offering herself to me?"
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I have no way to repay your kindness, but…"
Before Yun Yun could finish, Xiao Yan suddenly released her.
"Let the music play, let the dancing continue," Xiao Yan laughed heartily, and the Misty Cloud Sect returned to its state of singing and dancing.
However, the atmosphere in the hall was obviously even more enthusiastic. Those who could participate in this banquet were all elders and elite disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect. They knew very well that in the future, their paths would be infinitely bright.
The only ones feeling depressed were Gu He and his disciple.
"Teacher, I can't take it anymore," Liu Ling gritted his teeth as he watched Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by beautiful women.
Gu He didn't speak, remaining seated quietly.
However, after a moment, when Xiao Yan held Yun Yun's jade hand, he finally couldn't restrain himself.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, don't you think this is a bit too much?" Gu He's calm voice carried suppressed anger. It drifted across the square, causing the previously lively atmosphere to fall silent.
"Gu He, Mr. Xiao Yan is a great benefactor of our Misty Cloud Sect. I hope you watch your words," Yun Shan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Gu He was a Master Alchemist he had personally cultivated. He had recruited Gu He into the Misty Cloud Sect due to his exceptional talent in alchemy back then.
With the resources of the Misty Cloud Sect, Gu He had become the Jia Ma Empire's chief Alchemist, and he had made significant contributions to the Misty Cloud Sect over the years.
Yun Shan had always treated Gu He quite well. However, times had changed. Even if he was being presumptuous, he needed to consider who he was being presumptuous towards.
If he angered Xiao Yan, Yun Shan wouldn't consider their past relationship.
Hearing Yun Shan's rebuke, Gu He's expression slightly changed, but when he saw Yun Yun being teased by Xiao Yan, the composure he had cultivated for many years was also overcome by a surge of hot blood.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I admit you are a great benefactor of the Misty Cloud Sect, but please respect Sect Leader Yun." Gu He ignored Yun Shan's reprimand and stared intently at Xiao Yan.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, bewildered that someone dared to speak to him like that.
"I am Gu He, the chief Alchemist of the Misty Cloud Sect. I believe that a gentleman like Mr. Xiao Yan doesn't seem to need to pester Sect Leader Yun like this." Gu He was somewhat nervous as he looked at Xiao Yan, but seeing his beloved being teased like this, a surge of anger welled up within him.
Now, the identity of a Rank 6 Alchemist was the only thing he could bring out, even though it seemed to be nothing in front of this youth.
"Oh, so you're Gu He?" Xiao Yan glanced at Gu He.
"So, you're Yun Yun's lapdog."
He suddenly sneered, and said lightly, "This young master is no gentleman. Gu He, right? I'll tell you, this old man just fancies Sect Leader Yun, hehe, are you not convinced?"
"You!" Gu He was infuriated.
"If you're a man, don't force a woman like this."
"What I do is none of your business, a measly Rank 6 Alchemist. Mr. Gu He, I advise you to sit down obediently." Xiao Yan smiled indifferently.
"Measly Rank 6 Alchemist? Mr. Xiao Yan, you may be young and accomplished, but aren't you looking down on us Alchemists a bit too much?"
Gu He's face flushed red. He knew this was extremely irrational, but he was rarely showing his last bit of defiance.
With his past status, there weren't many women in the Jia Ma Empire who could refuse him. However, he could never forget the young woman he met when he first joined the Misty Cloud Sect.
Over the years, that figure had almost become an obsession in his heart.
"Gu He, that's enough!" Yun Shan stood up, a hint of killing intent in his eyes. If this Gu He ruined his grand plan, he wouldn't care about their past relationship in the slightest.
"Is Rank 6 so amazing? At your age, you're still a Rank 6 Alchemist, but this young master is already Rank 7."
Xiao Yan said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent again.
Countless people looked at Xiao Yan as if he were a monster. The fact that Xiao Yan was a Dou Emperor was no longer a secret; everyone with some status in the capital knew about it.
But he was also a Rank 7 Alchemist?
A sixteen-year-old Rank 7 Alchemist, how was this even possible?
Slap!
Slap!
Many people couldn't help but slap themselves, hoping to wake up, but after several slaps, they realized they weren't dreaming.
Yet, everything before them was too fantastical. They had just accepted the fact that a sixteen-year-old was a Dou Emperor, and now they discovered the same young man was also a Rank 7 Alchemist.
"Impossible, impossible! I don't believe it!" Gu He's mental state was teetering.
"How can you possibly be a Rank 7 Alchemist at your age! You must be lying."
Reason told Gu He that Xiao Yan had no reason to lie, but how could such a thing as a sixteen-year-old Rank 7 Alchemist be comprehended with reason?
"Do you dare to compete with me in alchemy!" Gu He roared, as if grasping at the last straw.
"You? What level are you, trying to compete with this young master in alchemy!" Xiao Yan was about to speak, but his gaze inadvertently fell upon Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran's expressions, and he paused.
"It seems you're determined to give this young master a chance to show off."
Xiao Yan shook his head, feigning helplessness.
"Since you're so eager to lose, then this young master will grant your wish!"
Lubu has been writing for half his life, only regretting that he hasn't met a leader.
