Saintly Sky Conqueror stood before Qi Lin, still feeling a touch of unreality even after his resurrection.
But the surging power within him and the sound of his beating heart…
Only then did Saintly Sky Conqueror truly believe he had been resurrected.
Moreover, his current strength was not far from what it was in life; he was still at the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
Qi Lin looked at Saintly Sky Conqueror and smiled, "How does it feel to be resurrected?"
Saintly Sky Conqueror examined his hands, his expression Excited, then cupped his fists, "Young friend, I will forever remember your kindness in giving me a second life."
"Haha, Saintly Sky Conqueror, you're too polite. I was merely repaying the favor you granted me back then," Qi Lin said indifferently.
Saintly Sky Conqueror waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of shame, "Young friend, please don't call me Senior anymore. With your current strength, I cannot accept being called Senior. If you think highly of me in the future, just call me Elder Brother."
"Haha, then I shall respectfully obey!"
"Elder Brother Saintly Sky Conqueror!"
Qi Lin called out with a smile.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Qi Lin!"
Seeing this, Saintly Sky Conqueror's smile became even more undeniable, and he laughed as he replied.
After exchanging smiles, the two walked out of the Life and Death Gate together.
Looking at the surroundings outside the Life and Death Gate, Saintly Sky Conqueror sighed with emotion, "I never thought I would one day breathe the fresh air outside the secret realm again."
"Elder Brother Saintly Sky Conqueror, the World is vast. Beyond the Dou Qi Continent, there are even vaster Worlds. Once you break through to Dou Di, the vastness of the World will be yours to explore."
"Beyond the Dou Qi Continent, there are even vaster Worlds?"
A hint of longing flashed in Saintly Sky Conqueror's eyes, and then he asked curiously, "Junior Brother Qi Lin mentioned a way to help me break through to Dou Di, but as far as I know, breaking through to Dou Di requires Origin Qi, and there should be no Origin Qi left on the Dou Qi Continent now."
Qi Lin smiled, "There is indeed no Origin Qi left on the Dou Qi Continent, but that doesn't mean there's no Origin Qi beyond the Dou Qi Continent, does it?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation flashed in Saintly Sky Conqueror's eyes.
"So, Junior Brother Qi Lin has a way to draw Origin Qi from beyond the Dou Qi Continent?"
Qi Lin smiled faintly and nodded.
Saintly Sky Conqueror immediately showed an expression of ecstasy upon hearing this.
In this way, relying on Junior Brother Qi Lin, he might truly have a chance to break through to the realm he had pursued his entire life.
Upon learning of Saintly Sky Conqueror's resurrection, all the women also offered their congratulations to him.
Because of Qi Lin, Saintly Sky Conqueror had given them many special lessons in the Life and Death Gate secret realm, so all the women knew him.
It was Yun Yun, however, who turned pale with shock upon learning of Saintly Sky Conqueror's strength.
Although Yun Yun and Yun Shan had already learned the secrets of the Life and Death Gate when Qi Lin emerged from it.
It was precisely for this reason that the resurrection of Saintly Sky Conqueror, an Old freak who had fallen countless years ago, shocked and amazed her even more.
What amazed Yun Yun even more was, if Qi Lin could resurrect such an Old freak, what kind of strength did he possess?
Previously, Yun Yun and Yun Shan had both guessed that Qi Lin was merely a high-level Dou Zun, but now it seemed that Qi Lin's strength was clearly not as simple as a Dou Zun.
An ordinary Dou Zun could not be on equal terms with a Nine-Star Dou Sheng like Saintly Sky Conqueror, nor could they resurrect a Nine-Star Dou Sheng who had fallen countless years ago.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, as she looked at Qi Lin, grew even more curious.
This man, he was too mysterious!
Upon learning of Saintly Sky Conqueror's resurrection, Yun Shan immediately rushed over at the fastest possible speed.
This was another powerful ally; he had to cling tightly to him.
…
While Qi Lin was at the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Yan, who had arrived in the Imperial Capital, was also not idle.
Using the identity of Yan Xiao, he had made a great name for himself in the Imperial Capital.
And what was most talked about was undoubtedly his impressive showing at the Alchemist Grand Meeting.
He did not refine the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill as in the original novel, but instead refined a fifth-grade medicinal pill of a higher grade than the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, shocking the entire audience and winning first place in one fell swoop.
That day, even Qi Lin and the women went to watch the competition.
Originally, Qi Lin hadn't thought of watching the Alchemist Grand Meeting, but Yao Yue was participating in this grand competition, so she specifically came to the Yunlan Sect to invite the women to watch.
Only then did Qi Lin remember this event, and he went to the Alchemist Grand Meeting with the women.
At the Alchemist Grand Meeting venue, in the VIP section.
Qi Lin sat in the front of the VIP section, with Fa Ma and Chemier on his left, and Yun Yun and Jia Xingtian on his right.
The women sat in the seats behind Qi Lin, becoming the most beautiful scenery at the entire Alchemist Grand Meeting.
At the grand meeting venue, with Xiao Yan's victory, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Indeed, the new waves push the old waves forward!"
"This Yan Xiao, at such a young age, has refined a fifth-grade medicinal pill. His future is limitless!"
Jia Xingtian looked at the spirited Yan Xiao in the arena and exclaimed with emotion.
Yao Yue was also among them. Although she also refined a fourth-grade medicinal pill, it was far inferior to the fifth-grade medicinal pill refined by Xiao Yan.
Moreover, the reason she was able to successfully refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill was thanks to Qi Lin's casual guidance back then.
Fa Ma also nodded, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity.
"I wonder what kind of Alchemist Grandmaster could teach such a disciple."
Saying this, Fa Ma looked at Qi Lin, his aged face full of respect.
"Senior Qi Lin, since you know this young fellow Xiao Yan, do you happen to know what kind of person his teacher behind him is?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Yun Yun and Jia Xingtian, but also Nalan Yanran's father, Mu Chen, and the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, as well as leaders of various forces, all cast curious glances at Qi Lin.
They didn't know Qi Lin's identity, but seeing that Fa Ma, Yun Yun, and Jia Xingtian all treated Qi Lin with exceptional respect, they guessed that he must be a mysterious powerhouse who had returned to his youth, and very likely a high-level Alchemist, otherwise there was no reason for Fa Ma to be so respectful.
One must know, he had already broken through to a sixth-grade Alchemist.
Qi Lin smiled after hearing this, "I stayed in his family for a period of time and had met him a few times."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became even more curious.
Jia Xingtian asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Yan Xiao is a talent from the Central Plains?"
The reason Jia Xingtian thought this was naturally because he guessed that Qi Lin himself was from the Central Plains.
Qi Lin shook his head.
"That's not it, but I'll keep his identity a secret for now. I'm sure you'll all understand soon enough."
Because Xiao Yan was wearing a disguise mask, Qi Lin had no intention of exposing him.
Upon hearing this, everyone became even more curious.
…
Several days later!
Yunlan Sect!
A black-robed youth, carrying a huge black ruler on his back, ascended the steps one by one, reaching the peak of the Yunlan Sect mountain amidst everyone's gaze.
Xiao Yan looked at the white-clothed figure on the large plaza ahead, his deep and powerful voice echoing across the Yunlan Mountain peak.
"Xiao Family, Xiao Yan!"
"Here to fulfill the promise!"
