"Evidence? What evidence is there? Teacher doesn't seem to have given me anything that could be considered evidence. Does my cultivation of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Flame Hand count? This is a Dou Technique my teacher taught me, and he uses it too."
Xiao Li simply performed a miniature Nine Tribulation Heavenly Flame Hand, and a golden flaming hand flew out.
Su Wanyin saw the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Flame Hand, and many of her concerns dissipated, but she still kept a stern Face.
"Not enough."
Xiao Li scratched his head, then thought of something and took out a somewhat damaged blue Medicine Cauldron.
"Is the blue flame cauldron okay?"
Su Wanyin looked at the blue Medicine Cauldron and murmured, "blue flame cauldron..."
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Su Wanyin's eyes. She seemed to see the young man from the past who didn't understand human emotions and always had a furrowed brow.
"Not enough," Su Wanyin said coldly, making the atmosphere extremely awkward.
Xiao Li quickly rummaged through his storage ring, secretly complaining, "Teacher, you've really put me in a bind."
Xiao Li suddenly found Elder Wang's handwritten letter. Back at Canaan Academy, Elder Wang had returned to the Jia Ma Empire early while Xiao Li was still in seclusion, so Elder Wang left a letter.
"Senior Su, I have a letter from Teacher here, will this work?" Xiao Li handed a letter to Su Wanyin.
Su Wanyin eagerly snatched it, opened the letter, and looked at the familiar handwriting.
"Lier, your teacher has returned to the Jia Ma Empire first. Your growth over the past few years has pleased your teacher greatly. Seeing you so full of vigor always reminds your teacher of his younger days.
How wonderful it would have been if your teacher hadn't had an accident when he was young. But if your teacher hadn't had an accident, you wouldn't have met him, haha. Old people like to reminisce. Cultivate well and come back to see me after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame.
Let this old man also witness the power of the Heavenly Flame. —Wang Ming"
Su Wanyin meticulously read the handwriting on the letter, and tears unconsciously streamed down her Face.
Tian Chi, Valley Master Tang Zhen, and the Elders were all stunned.
Valley Master Tang Zhen secretly grumbled in his heart, "Is this still that fierce woman? How did she become so gentle? Is this still the Su Wanyin I remember who almost crippled Bing He?" Su Wanyin wiped away her tears, and then her gaze towards Xiao Li softened.
"Lier, may I call you that?" Su Wanyin said softly.
"Yes, yes, of course! You are familiar with my teacher, so naturally, you are my Senior," Xiao Li immediately changed his expression, instantly establishing a familial connection.
"My relationship with your teacher is not just 'familiar.' Back then... never mind, let's not talk about it. Your teacher probably never mentioned me. Is he doing well now?" Su Wanyin was eager to know Wang Ming's situation.
Xiao Li: "Teacher was seriously injured and poisoned before, but I've already cured him. He is currently undergoing Nirvana. Once he completes Nirvana, he will be able to Breakthrough to the Dou Zong stage."
"Injured? Poisoned? What happened? Tell me everything!" Su Wanyin immediately became anxious, almost bristling with anger.
"Cough, cough, Valley Master." The Elder of Sound Valley couldn't bear to watch anymore. Su Wanyin's behavior was damaging to the Valley Master's image.
Su Wanyin also noticed the Elder's reminder, coughed, regained her composure, and said, "You can tell me privately later. Lier, you can call me Aunt Su."
"Greetings, Teacher's Wife," Xiao Li immediately performed a grand bow to Su Wanyin, like a tiger pouncing to the ground.
Everyone:... Su Wanyin was first surprised by Xiao Li's action, then delighted.
This child is truly sensible. "Get up quickly, it's not a done deal yet." Su Wanyin bent down and helped Xiao Li up.
"Thank you, Teacher's Wife," Xiao Li said loudly.
Several Elders of Sound Valley looked at Xiao Li with some displeasure, but the older Elders knew something and remained silent.
Su Wanyin scrutinized Xiao Li from head to toe, extremely satisfied.
"It's our first meeting, and Teacher's Wife doesn't have much good to offer. This scroll of 'Heavenly Sound Shock' will be Teacher's Wife's Meeting gift."
Su Wanyin handed a silver scroll to Xiao Li.
"Valley Master, this might not be in line with the rules," Elder Yin suddenly said.
"Yes, yes."
"Hmm?" Su Wanyin turned her head and looked at those Elders with an unfriendly gaze, immediately scaring them out of their wits.
"Everything is subject to the Valley Master's choice," the Elders said submissively.
Sound Valley was not like Burning Flame Valley. The Elders of Burning Flame Valley liked to go against Valley Master Tang Zhen one by one, while Sound Valley was Su Wanyin's personal domain. She was the strongest on the surface of Sound Valley and held the greatest say.
Anyone who dared to challenge her Face would not escape a beating.
Xiao Li looked at the silver scroll in his hand, feeling emotional that this bow was not in vain. Thank you, Teacher, I love you to death.
"Valley Master Tang Zhen, do you have anything else? If not, the little guy and I have something to discuss," Su Wanyin said indifferently to Valley Master Tang Zhen.
"No, I'm not in a hurry. I also enjoy Alchemy and would like to exchange experiences with this young brother. You go ahead and be busy," Valley Master Tang Zhen said submissively.
In fact, he himself was more inclined to exchange Alchemy experiences with this young man. Valley Master Tang Zhen was not a pure Alchemist. His control over Soul Power was not as precise as a true Alchemist, but he personally liked Alchemy very much. For this, he diligently Cultivated Alchemy and could already refine some low-level Elixirs.
Exchanging with Alchemists was Valley Master Tang Zhen's favorite process. Unfortunately, becoming an Alchemist was extremely difficult. Even for Valley Master Tang Zhen, refining some low-level Elixirs was accomplished by relying on his powerful cultivation and Soul Power.
Su Wanyin led Xiao Li to a courtyard, and the servants of the Liu family began to serve tea.
"Tell me, how did you and Wang Ming meet? Where is he now? What happened to him? And who injured him?"
Su Wanyin had so many questions that Xiao Li didn't know which to answer first. So Xiao Li began directly from how he met Wang Ming... In the Northwest Continent, Tagor Desert, volcanic region, Xiao Ting still sat on a high mountain day after day, Cultivating. With Xiao Li's Elixirs, his cultivation speed was very fast. He would probably reach the Peak of Dou Huang soon.
After that, Breakthrough to Dou Zong might be a bit difficult for Xiao Ting, but he remembered his grandson Xiao Li's words: there were plenty of Break-Sect Pills. If one wasn't enough, then two; if two weren't enough, then ten. Success was guaranteed. If it didn't succeed, it meant there weren't enough Elixirs!
Xiao Ting also smiled at this answer. He naturally knew that this was indeed something his grandson would do.
Rumble! A powerful pressure appeared, and the clear sky instantly changed.
"Hmm? What's happening? That place! It's Old Wang!" Xiao Ting immediately flew over.
Boom! Wang Ming sat atop a volcano. Clearly visible crimson energy from all around converged into his body, forming a crimson vortex. The fire-attribute energy here flowed into Wang Ming's body like a funnel.
"He Breakthrough? Breakthrough to Dou Zong!" Xiao Ting looked at this unusual phenomenon.
Boom! A powerful Aura emanated from Wang Ming's body, directly pushing Xiao Ting back dozens of meters.
"Hoo..."
A heavy breathing sound came. Wang Ming awakened, and the Aura on his body continuously rose. After rising to a certain level, it then decreased. After decreasing to its lowest point, it rose again, repeating several times.
Finally, Wang Ming's Aura settled at the Five-star Dou Zong stage.
"Is this Dou Zong? It's indeed different. The medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, the medicinal power of the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill, and the Dou Qi from the Magic Poison Spot have all been absorbed by me.
Now, the Heavenly Yang Body has completely undergone Nirvana and Rebirth. My Physical Body, Soul, and Dou Qi have all been comprehensively enhanced. Even a Dou Zun would not be difficult for me."
Wang Ming felt his body; he now felt better than ever before!
"Are you Old Wang? Why have you changed so much?" Xiao Ting flew over, seeing a greatly changed person standing in the air, somewhat unsure.
"Is that Old Xiao? How can you not even recognize this old man?" Wang Ming was also very surprised to see Xiao Ting. He naturally knew that Xiao Ting had been watching over him, protecting him.
"Go look in a mirror yourself," Xiao Ting handed a bronze mirror to Wang Ming.
Wang Ming took the bronze mirror with a puzzled expression, only to be shocked by the scene before him.
In the mirror, Wang Ming still had white hair, but all the wrinkles on his Face were gone, like a warm jade emitting a soft glow.
His eyes were like bright stars, large and luminous, full of spirit. His eyebrows were not messy or curly, but stood above his eyes like two swords.
Overall, Wang Ming at this moment was handsome, with a Face like beautiful jade, and full of heroic spirit.
