Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 269 Goodbye Yao Lao, Goodbye Xiao Yan
"Winner, Xiao Yan!"

In the martial arts arena, as this majestic voice of judgment rang out, Xiao Yan, who had been tense all over, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately released the Three Mysterious Changes of Skyfire, and his aura dropped from eight-star Dou Wang to three-star Dou Wang.

Looking at the opponent lying on the ground in front of him - the second-best disciple of Xingyun Pavilion, the eight-star Dou Wang Xu Lie, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment.

Immediately, he suppressed the feeling of weakness after the secret technique, walked slowly to Xu Lie, and extended his hand to this opponent who had a grudge against him.

"It was such an enjoyable battle, Brother Xu. I hope we can have another chance to spar with each other in the future!"

Looking at the hand Xiao Yan handed over, a complex look flashed in Xu Lie's eyes, with reluctance and relief. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, stretched out his firm palm, tightly grasped Xiao Yan's hand, and used the force to stand up.

"Young Pavilion Master, I, Old Xu, am convinced. If I have offended you in the past... please forgive me."

“Senior Brother Xu, you are too polite!” Xiao Yan shook his head and said seriously, “We are all disciples of Xingyun Pavilion. We are brothers and sisters. There is no need to be so polite…”

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena changed subtly.

The disciples were talking about it, and there was no longer the doubt and disdain in their eyes when they first saw Xiao Yan, the "outsider" Young Pavilion Master, but a sense of recognition and admiration.

"I never thought that Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yan is not only extremely powerful, but also so generous. It is really admirable."

"Yeah, I was worried before that he would use his status to bully others, but now it seems that we were worrying too much."

"Humph, Senior Brother Xu Lie is the best in our Xingyun Pavilion. Even he is convinced. This shows the strength of Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yan."

"A three-star Dou Wang defeated an eight-star Dou Wang. The young Pavilion Master is truly a Dou Zun!"

The kind voices of discussion were like a gentle spring breeze, cleansing the atmosphere in Xingyun Pavilion. Some disciples who originally had prejudices against Xiao Yan also began to re-examine this airborne young pavilion master and felt a bit of respect for him.

Not far away, several elders of Xingyun Pavilion looked at this scene, their eyes filled with relief.

"As expected of the Pavilion Master's disciple, he is truly extraordinary!"

"Yes, using strength to suppress others, and then using virtue to convince others, and resolve internal conflicts, not only will your cultivation level improve rapidly, but your character is also rare and precious."

"With such a character and strength, he is the perfect choice to lead this cabinet in the future."

To lead a powerful sect, one needs not only extraordinary strength, but also the charm to unite people. Xiao Yan's performance today proved that he has both.

At the same time, the two people on the dark stone tower in the distance also withdrew their gazes.

"How is my carefully trained disciple?" After taking back his soul power, Yao Lao looked at Master Feng with great pride.

"Not bad! It's really good!"

Venerable Feng nodded and praised: "Although he used some elixirs to assist in his cultivation, he was able to break through to the two-star Dou Wang level within four months with the intermediate Xuan-level Burning Decision. Little Yanzi's talent is outstanding! Moreover..."

The admiration in his eyes grew stronger. "This kid's personality is really to my liking. There is a lot of hope for his future! There is a lot of hope for his future!"

"Hehe, Xiao Yanzi is better than Xuankongzi's disciple... huh?"

Yao Lao smiled complacently and was about to ask about the situation of Xuan Kongzi's disciples. However, a series of unusual movements coming from the closed mountain gate and a familiar breath interrupted his next words.

"Old Man Feng, did you feel it?" Yao Lao looked at Venerable Feng solemnly.

"Of course!" A trace of ecstasy flashed in the eyes of Feng Zun, "This is the number seven 'Star Order' I gave to Lin Yuan. He came to keep the appointment? Let's go and take a look..."

Before he finished speaking, the space shook slightly and the two figures disappeared on the spot.
-
Tianxing Mountains.

Above the sea of ​​trees, Lin Yuan held the "Star Order" in his hand, staring at the void in front of him, his deep eyes slightly narrowed.

"So that's how it is. Is this world completely closed?" Although the space in the void before his eyes was shaking violently, the space channel leading to the inside showed no signs of opening.

"Are you worried that Yao Lao's news will leak out? Master Feng, you are really cautious! Then I will offend you a little bit..."

With a light chuckle, Lin Yuan raised his hand, and a tremendous amount of fighting spirit condensed in his hand.

Just as he was about to "knock on the door", a clear laugh suddenly rang out in the void: "Dear guest, welcome! Welcome!"

The next moment, the space shook slightly, and two figures appeared in front of him.

"Long time no see, boy Lin!" Yao Lao waved his hand and said gently.

"Long time no see, Senior Yao!" Lin Yuan nodded and chuckled, "I am here to fulfill the promise. Senior is much stronger than when we parted. It seems that your soul has fully recovered. Congratulations!"

"It's all thanks to my old friend!" Yao Lao smiled and said.

His soul has indeed fully recovered, enough to fight against a Nine-Star Dou Zong, and this is also the limit of the strength that his soul can exert before it reaches the Heavenly Realm.

"hehe!"

Venerable Feng smiled slightly and ended the two people's greetings, "This is not a place for idle chat, let's go in first!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and an ancient jade flew out from it. A strange starlight diffused from it, and the light expanded. The space in front of him gradually distorted, forming a space gate.

Venerable Feng apologized, "The Star Order could have opened this door directly, but some time ago, I completely closed the Star Realm, so... please forgive me, my friend!"

"It's just a small matter!" Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and praised: "I understand. We need to be cautious about things related to Senior Yao. I quite admire Senior Feng's caution!"

At the same time, he also admired the thoughtfulness and courtesy of Venerable Xiafeng in his heart.

“Thank you for your understanding!” Venerable Feng nodded slightly, then waved to Lin Yuan and said, “Welcome to my Xingyun Pavilion! Follow me, this space is the headquarters of my Xingyun Pavilion…”

After saying that, he and Yao Lao were the first to step into the space gate. Afterwards, Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and followed them in.

After everyone entered, the space gate disappeared again...

After entering the space gate, Lin Yuan only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the world in front of him suddenly changed as if the stars had moved.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the first time I met Hunxuzi.

The moment the space transformation ended, the three of them had appeared on a towering mountain. On the mountain, some buildings were vaguely visible, and one could even hear some discussions mixed with the word "Xiao Yan".

Looking at Lin Yuan who had a calm expression, Master Feng was slightly surprised.

You know, even an ordinary Dou Zun would be a little surprised when he first saw the scene just now. A Dou Zong was so calm... Concentrating his thoughts, Feng Zun followed Lin Yuan's gaze and introduced with a smile: "This place is called the Star Realm!"

"It is a space constructed by meteorite star power. Although it cannot be compared with the huge space constructed by Dou Sheng, its area is also as big as a city. The richness of heaven and earth energy is also much higher than that of the outside world."

"Moreover, since this place is naturally formed, it is extremely concealed. Even Dou Zun strongmen find it difficult to detect this place."

At this point, his voice couldn't help but be more proud. No wonder, there is such a sect in "another space". Among the many sects in Zhongzhou, there are not many that can do this.

“It’s really a great place!”

Lin Yuan nodded, retracted his gaze, and probed the soul power around him, and...

"Wow—"

With the cry of a crane, a dozen white cranes suddenly flew out from the distant mountain. On the cranes' bodies, there were some human figures standing. The leader, a green figure and a black figure, flashed over and appeared in front of the three people.

The two of them were: Master Feng’s disciple, the eldest senior sister of Xingyun Pavilion, Mu Qingluan; and Master Yao’s disciple, the young master of Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Yan.

"Teacher! Pavilion Master! And..."

Seeing Venerable Feng and Yao Lao, Mu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand to let the white cranes circling in the air retreat, and looked at Lin Yuan with curiosity.

"Teacher! Master Feng!"

Xiao Yan bowed slightly to Yao Lao and Feng Zunzhe, then forced himself to stand up straight despite his weak body, and said calmly to Lin Yuan, "Long time no see, Brother Lin! It turned out that the soul transmission just now was really you..."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and chuckled, "Long time no see, Brother Xiao! This new spirit wine is useful for the weak state after the Skyfire Secret Technique..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a jar of wine flew from the storage ring to Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not act pretentiously at all. He raised his hand to take the jar of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

As the spiritual wine entered the stomach, it instantly turned into pure and gentle energy, which was absorbed into the body without any hindrance. The vitality in the body quickly recovered and the feeling of weakness quickly dissipated. The energy it provided and its excellent healing effects were not inferior to those of a fifth-grade elixir.

"Good wine!" Putting down the wine jar, Xiao Yan said with emotion: "Half a year after we last met, your 'medicinal food' has become much more exquisite than before."

His current level of alchemy has reached the peak of the fifth level, so he can naturally appreciate the benefits of this wine.

It is like food and medicine, and the energy is extremely well-balanced. If used to warm the body, there will be almost no problem of drug resistance, and the effect will be excellent...

"Of course." Lin Yuan smiled, a hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes, "If there is a glutton at home and she doesn't study cooking skills, she will be unhappy."

"Greedy ghost... brute force... uh, Senior Sister Zi Yan?" Seeing Lin Yuan's dangerous eyes, Xiao Yan quickly changed his words.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he recalled the scene where Zi Yan came back from her travels, set up a forced gambling fighting ring in the inner courtyard, and then defeated every top player on the strong list with one punch.

If the Great Elder had not arrived in time, I, who was at the top of the strong list at that time, would most likely have become a victim of the fists.

Thinking of that little girl with terrifying strength, Xiao Yan still feels scared. Even though he has been promoted to Dou Wang, he has no confidence that he can take another punch.

Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders, without any unnecessary politeness, and went straight to the point: "Brother Xiao, I came to Xingyun Pavilion for two purposes: first, to refine a body for Senior Yao as agreed; second, I have a deal to discuss with you..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes became stern, and he said seriously: "Transaction? Please tell me!"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I am currently collecting different fire seeds, so I want to exchange a Wind Fury Dragon Flame seed with you. You decide the conditions..."

“Seed fire?” Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then said decisively: “I accept this deal. I can give you the Wind Fury Dragon Flame Seed Fire. There are no other conditions. As long as you help your teacher refine the body and revive…”

"Xiao Yanzi...you?" Yao Lao, who was standing aside, was slightly startled when he heard Xiao Yan's words.

"I'm sorry, teacher!"

Xiao Yan turned around and bowed deeply to Yao Lao, his eyes slightly red. "Helping teacher refine his body and revive him should be the disciple's responsibility, but the disciple's ability is limited now, so I can only offer this insignificant gift..."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao looked at his disciple, with whom he had been living day and night for several years, and his heart was filled with relief and warmth.

This time, his choice was indeed correct. God made him blind once, but fortunately, he was not blinded a second time...

"As long as you have this intention, I will be satisfied!" Yao Lao said dimly.

In fact, he was aware in his heart that Xiao Yan felt somewhat unwilling and regretful about not being able to personally help him refine his body.

Yao Lao reached out his hand and gently stroked Xiao Yan's lowered head. "To protect your disciples from the wind and rain, this is what a teacher should do. Xiao Yanzi, if you want to protect your teacher from the wind and rain, you should practice well and grow up quickly..."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan raised his head and said firmly: "Yes, Teacher!"

Seeing the appearance of the master and disciple, a trace of relief flashed in Master Feng's eyes. His old friend's heartache showed signs of being healed... How great!
Mu Qingluan, who was standing aside, looked at Xiao Yan with a little more brilliance in her eyes than before - although this new junior brother was not strong enough, he gave her an inexplicable feeling of being trustworthy.

Looking at the warm scene in front of him, a hint of tenderness appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Although this kind of beautiful relationship between people was not something he had seen before and it was not the first time, he still admired it very much.

However, even if he respects, yearns for, and admires something, if he needs to destroy similar touching feelings and beautiful intentions in the process of achieving his goals, he will not be lenient or hesitate because of his own feelings.

It was like this when the sect was destroyed and the family was wiped out, and it will be like this when I climb to the top in the future!
"Okay, both of you, stop acting like little girls!" Feng Zun smiled slightly and said playfully, "The distinguished guest is here, so don't let him laugh at you."

As he said that, he looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh!"

"Senior Feng is joking." Lin Yuan waved his hand. "The relationship between Brother Xiao and Senior Yao as master and disciple is quite pleasing to the eye! But..."

After a moment of hesitation, he said in a serious tone, "It's time for us to get down to business. How have you prepared the materials needed to refine the body for Senior Yao? I have obtained some blood essence from an eighth-level monster..."

Speaking of business, Master Feng's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness. We have prepared the materials! Little friend Lin can take them and familiarize yourself with them first."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several items were suspended in front of the people:
A pill the size of a longan was spinning in the jade bottle, and a strong scent of the pill was emanating from it, which made people feel refreshed.
A transparent jade bottle, with a few drops of purple and red blood suspended in it, and pure energy diffused;
A sarcophagus, and inside the sarcophagus, there was a light gray skeleton. Faintly, there was a faint fluorescent light flowing on the skeleton's body.

The eight-grade, five-colored blood-generating and bone-melting pills, the essence and blood of an eighth-level monster, and the body of a four-star Dou Zun, the three major ingredients are all gathered together.

Lin Yuan looked at them for a moment, and after confirming that they were correct, he waved his hand and put the three into the Dark Sea Ring.

"The materials are ready. Senior Yao, please lend me the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. I need to get familiar with it for a while. Let's find a quiet place. Tomorrow morning, we can start refining the body..."

　In Fights Break Sphere, the relationship between Xiao Yan and Yao Lao as master and disciple is quite nice and I like it quite a lot as well, so I won’t ruin it for the sake of the protagonist and will just write a few words about it!
