After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Jue and Xun'er fell into silence, and no one spoke.
Not long after, Xiao Yan brought an ancient box. When he opened the box, a green jade piece appeared in it. At this time, a light spot was slowly moving in the center of the jade piece, as if it had spirituality.
Xiao Yan said: "The elder told me that this jade piece was left by the ancestors of the Xiao family. Every clan leader will leave a little soul power in it. As long as the clan leader dies, the wandering light spot will dissipate. The light spot inside is what my father left."
Xiao Jue used his soul power to disperse the soul light spot left by Xiao Zhan, and then handed the jade piece to Xun'er.
However, as soon as Xun'er stretched out her hand, the jade piece disappeared. She frowned slightly and said coldly: "Who asked you to do it?"
Xiao Jue was slightly startled in his heart. It was not Ling Ying, who was at the peak of Dou Huang. It was most likely Xun'er's real protector.
The girl said, "Brother Xiao Jue, Xun'er won't accompany you and Brother Xiao Yan for now. Xun'er has something else to do."
"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded, and after watching Xun'er go back and close the door, he said to Xiao Yan behind him, "Let's go to the back mountain to break through. It's a good opportunity for me to see how magical your Burning Technique is."
"Let's go." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and asked, "Xiao Jue, can you tell me about that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, the ancient clan behind Xun'er, and the soul clan suspected to be the enemy of the Xiao family?"
Xiao Jue said, "Why are you in a hurry? I'll tell you when you have the fourth strange fire."
"The fourth strange fire!?" Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. If he could have four strange fires, he would probably be at least a Dou Zong strongman.
The two came to the back mountain of the Xiao family. In the cave where Xiao Jue broke through and Yao Lao refined the elixir before, Xiao Yan began to practice and took the Qi Gathering Powder to break through to Dou Zhe.
After that, he practiced the Burning Technique. Under the guidance of Yao Lao, he took the Vein Protection Pill and swallowed the Peach Blossom Fire of the fifth-level Kui Mu Beast, and directly broke through from a one-star fighter to a three-star fighter.
Xiao Jue asked, "How is the Burning Technique?"
"Uh..." Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "It seems that there is no change, it is still low-level yellow rank."
"That is because the Peach Blossom Fire is too weak." Yao Lao said, "When you break through to a nine-star fighter, refine the Phantom Gold Fire that Xiao Jue gave you, and the Burning Technique should be able to evolve once."
"I think so." Xiao Yan nodded, and Yao Lao's face suddenly changed, and he returned to the Bone Flame Ring.
"Are you Xiao Yan and Xiao Jue?"
A figure walked into the cave, but Xiao Jue's eyes were filled with horror. In his perception, there was no breath in front of him at all.
It was as if this person and even the space he was in did not exist, but with the naked eye, it was confirmed that it was indeed a figure. This contradictory sense seemed particularly strange.
This man was about 40 years old and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. He was dressed in a simple linen shirt and had a smile on his face, which made people feel a little relieved.
He smiled and said, "I am Xun'er's father. Thank you for taking care of Xun'er over the years."
"Hello, uncle." Xiao Jue bowed and kicked Xiao Yan, who was stunned.
"Hello, uncle."
"You have a good chance." Gu Yuan nodded, looked at Xiao Jue and said, "The essence of the ninth-level magic beast shaped your body, and there is also the ninth-level beast fire and the Yin-Yang dual flames that have evolved to be comparable to the top ten of the strange fire list, but that guy is obviously not very honest."
He pointed his finger, and Xiao Jue heard a wailing sound. Xiao Jue's mind became a little muddled, and his eyes were full of golden light, and his mind was full of chaos.
This strange situation lasted for quite a long time before it gradually improved. When Xiao Jue's mind regained consciousness again, the severe pain in his brain had gradually weakened.
Faintly, he realized that his soul seemed to be more than ten times stronger than before, and even his fighting spirit broke through along with his soul power, reaching the level of a two-star great fighting master.
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "In the Yin and Yang flames in your body, there is a remnant soul of a Dou Sheng that is recovering. Almost only a remnant is left. It should want to take over your body after recovering a little in the future. His identity is also special. He is the Yin and Yang Lustful Saint Long Yan who was killed by your ancestor Xiao Xuan a thousand years ago."
"I shattered his remnant soul. It should be that your body absorbed his blood essence and matched the energy of his soul fragments, so it can directly improve the soul power and break through to the late stage of the mortal realm."
Xiao Jue was very happy and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Uncle Gu."
"No problem." Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Your soul power has just transformed. After that, you will learn more from Medicine Venerable. In the future, you will at least be an eighth-grade alchemist, and maybe even a ninth-grade alchemist."
Only then did Medicine Venerable appear and saluted respectfully, "Meet the Chief of the Gu Yuan Clan."
"Zhongzhou's number one alchemist, Master Yao." Gu Yuan smiled and nodded, "A discarded child of the Yao Clan can grow to become an eighth-grade peak alchemist. That Yao Dan guy is really blind. You have a good talent."
He took out a ball of liquid and threw it at Yao Chen, which merged into his soul body. It should be some special liquid medicine that helped him restore his soul power.
Yao Lao was overjoyed and bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Chief Gu Yuan."
"It was just a deal with the descendants of the Xiao Clan." Gu Yuan chuckled and said, "Xiao Jue, I plan to bring Xun'er back to the Gu Clan. As a thank you for taking care of her for you and Xiao Yan over the years, I will give you this fighting skill."
He took out two scrolls and handed them to Xiao Jue and Xiao Yan, on which were written the three words "Emperor Seal Jue".
"Thank you, uncle." The two bowed their hands and thanked him, and accepted it naturally.
Gu Yuan immediately handed Xiao Jue another ring and said, "This is the ring of your Xiao family ancestor, Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao clan, who lived thousands of years ago. It contains some gifts from me to you, which can be regarded as an exchange for the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "If you can break through Dou Zun within eleven and a half years, you can come to the ancient world to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the ancient clan. At that time, the Heavenly Tomb will also be opened, and you can enter it to see Xiao Xuan."
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Yuan disappeared. Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yan murmured beside him, "In other words, Xun'er left?"
"I think so." Xiao Jue nodded. After all, Gu Yuan showed up in person, and he was not sure whether Xun'er would stay.
Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really under pressure to face Gu Yuan. He was expelled from the family by an elder of the Yao clan, but the other party was more terrifying than the patriarch of the Yao clan.
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Jue and said jokingly, "Aren't you a disciple of Dou Sheng? Where are you going to find the Dou Sheng bones you promised to give me?"
