"Why are they so eager to use this method to collect souls now? In the past, even if the Soul Palace collected souls, it was only done in secret. Something like this that directly triggered a war has never happened before."

Xiao Yan asked with some confusion.

"The Soul Palace must have a conspiracy to collect souls, but I have no clue what it is yet."

Yao Lao also sighed lightly and said.

Hearing Yao Lao's sigh, Xiao Yuan felt a little heavy in his heart. If that was the case, the speed at which the Soul Palace collected souls had obviously increased. Could it be that they could no longer bear it?
"The Northwest Continent is in chaos, and the Lion Nether Sect is still expanding its territory. Wherever they go, those who disobey will be completely slaughtered. This has undoubtedly accelerated the speed at which the Soul Palace collects souls. They are making up for the lack of quality with quantity." Yao Lao glanced at the two disciples and said, "As for the Jia Ma Empire, in the years since you left, after the joint development of your Xiao family and the Miter family, it has successfully become a powerful empire in the Northwest Continent that is enough to rank among the top ten.

"Normally, the Lion Nether Sect would not have forced the Gama Empire to retreat and defend, but with the help of the strong men from the Soul Palace, the Gama Empire is also in danger. Before you leave, ask me to send strong men to secretly protect the Xiao family. I ordered an elder from the Pavilion who founded the Falling Star Pavilion with us to secretly go to the Gama Empire with some strong men. If they hadn't stopped us and sent back information, I'm afraid the Gama Empire would have been destroyed."

Yao Lao said with a serious expression.

"Also, the situation of the Sky Snake Mansion is not very good either. Although they are a considerable force in the Northwest Continent, they are only slightly stronger than the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in its heyday in Central China. However, your little maid has now reached the level of a six-star Dou Zun. With the power of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, she can fight even a seven-star Dou Zun. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded, his eyes slightly gloomy.

"Teacher, I think we can take the initiative and attack the Soul Palace so that they don't have time to do anything else!"

Xiao Yuan said.

"Well, I'm afraid your current strength is stronger than mine. It shouldn't be difficult for you to attack a branch of the Soul Palace. In that case, I'll prepare some manpower for you to deploy.

In addition, last time I used a temporary space wormhole to send Xiao Yixian and the others away. With their strength, they are enough to initially reinforce the space channel along the way. It’s just that the landing point of the wormhole needs to be corrected, so it took a lot of time. It will be ready in a few days. By then, I think they will be able to come back.”

Yao Lao said with a smile.

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't have to make another trip.

"You two kids should have a good rest today. Don't worry too much about the Gama Empire. The Soul Clan's Dou Sheng and above masters seem to be unable to take action for some reason. Xiao Yixian and Cai Lin also have my space jade slips on them. If anything happens, I can tear through space at any time."

Yao Lao smiled.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan nodded when they heard this. Then, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something and took out the emerald jade slip that Yao Xingji had given him from his storage ring and handed it to Yao Lao:
"This is the invitation card for the Medicine Clan's Pharmacopoeia that my third brother asked me to ask the people of the Medicine Clan for. Teacher, this should be useful, right?"

Hearing the word "pharmacopoeia", Yao Lao's palm trembled suddenly. Although the arc was very small, it still did not escape the eyes of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.

Yao Lao stared at the jade slip for a long while before he took a deep breath. With a slightly trembling hand, he slowly took it and put it into his ring. He said softly, "Well, let's talk about it later. It's still a while before the pharmacopoeia."

"Ah."

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan both nodded. Although Yao Lao did not show much emotion on the surface, they could sense that Yao Lao was not at peace in his heart.

"When I have built the space wormhole, if you want to go back, go and take a look. It has been many years since I left, and it is time to go back and take a look."

Yao Lao said with a sigh, thinking back then, when Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan first left the Jia Ma Empire, they were just two teenagers, but now, they have completely become influential figures on this continent.

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Teacher, let's find a safe and secret place."

Hearing this, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yuan's serious eyes and nodded.

Deep in the star realm, inside a hidden stone tower.

"I have set up a barrier here. Unless someone is a Dou Sheng who is much stronger than me, it is impossible for him to spy on me from the dark."

Yao Lao said.

"Teacher, let me introduce you to someone, the ancestor of my Xiao clan, Xiao Xuan."

As he spoke, a figure in green floated out from Xiao Yuan's soul-nourishing ring.

"Xiao Xuan?"

Yao Lao naturally knew something about this kind of strong man. Especially after sensing Xiao Xuan's soul, which could not be completely restored but was genuine, he bowed without hesitation.

"Junior Yao Chen, greetings to Senior Xiao Xuan."

"You're welcome. I've heard about your story. I didn't expect that the Yao Clan would even expel someone with such talent. You are Xiao Yuan's teacher. The Yao Clan doesn't recognize you, but we in the Xiao Clan do. From now on, we are a family."

Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing this, tears welled up in Yao Lao's eyes.

If an ordinary person said this, he would not be so excited.

But the person in front of me is Xiao Xuan!

The patriarch of the Xiao clan back then was the true strongest man on the continent, the strongest person under the Dou Emperor of that era!
How could he not be excited that such a person could recognize him so much!

"Teacher, my research on the soul is not as in-depth as yours. I used the magical effect of the Soul-Nourishing Orb to condense the soul body for my ancestor, but how to restore his soul body to its best condition will probably require you to spend more time and effort."

Xiao Yuan said solemnly.

"I didn't expect that you asked me to find a soul-nourishing ring for Senior Xiao Xuan. Don't worry, leave everything to me. Although I dare not say that you can completely restore Senior to the emperor realm before obtaining a physical body, I can definitely restore it to the most perfect state. However, the physical body of a nine-star Dou Sheng is not easy to find!"

Yao Lao knew that Xiao Yuan had some obsessions when it came to refining his physical body, and he simply looked down upon ordinary physical bodies.

"There will always be a way."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Well, it looks like you've got some ideas."

Seeing this, Yao Lao smiled and nodded.

"Teacher, you have to keep the matter of our ancestors secret. Otherwise, if the Soul Clan finds out, we will lose a trump card!"

Xiao Yuan straightened his expression and said.

"Well, don't worry. By the way, there is a disciple in the pavilion named Youquan who has great talent. You can teach him for me when you have time. I don't plan to accept any more disciples. You have already graduated, so it's time to accept a disciple."

Yao Lao agreed with a smile and continued.

"Okay, I'll look back and pay attention."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded. After that, Xiao Yuan's life became free. After practicing, he showed up to instruct the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion. With his current strength and reputation, not to mention instructing these ordinary disciples, even the powerful guest elders of Xingyun Pavilion had to ask him for advice.

"drink!"

In a spacious training ground in the star realm, many disciples of the Star Meteorite Pavilion gathered here to carry out the daily necessary training and exchanges. However, nowadays, most of the eyes in the training ground are focused on the center of the training ground. There, a handsome young man in a white robe was smiling and pointing out some shortcomings of the surrounding disciples when they were performing fighting skills. His calm and relaxed appearance while chatting and laughing had the demeanor of a master, which made many disciples of the Star Meteorite Pavilion envious from the bottom of their hearts.

In a corner of the training ground, a group of girls in tight clothes gathered together, giggling with each other. Their laughter, as sweet as silver bells, made the hearts of some male disciples around them flutter slightly, and some of them couldn't help but cast their eyes over.

In the center of the group of girls, a girl in light red clothes stood gracefully. Her slender waist and long legs made her undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence on the training ground. However, at this moment, the girl in red was staring at the young man in white robe in the distance who could easily master various fighting skills with just a glance.

"Hehe, Senior Sister Youquan, are you moved?"

While this girl was looking at Xiao Yuan, another girl next to her suddenly giggled and teased.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hearing this, the girl named Youquan blushed and said coquettishly.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Youquan, you are the most talented person among the young generation of our Xingyun Pavilion. When you were tested, even the Pavilion Master was alarmed. Although the Young Pavilion Master is very outstanding, you should not feel inferior."

A young girl covered her mouth and laughed.

"Nonsense, my talent is nothing in the eyes of the Young Master."

Youquan shook her head, but a hint of joy flashed in her bright eyes. Girls are always in love. The conceited young geniuses she had seen in the past were not comparable at all to Xiao Yuan, who did not seem to have the airs of a young pavilion master at all.

"How about Junior Sister go and ask the Young Pavilion Master for some advice? Only if you make contact will you have a chance, otherwise there will be no hope."

Another girl encouraged.

Hearing this, Youquan hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"It's not appropriate, and I heard that the young master has several confidantes!"

"That's perfect! If the young master only had one beauty, it would be difficult to deal with him!"

"That's right, and Junior Sister is the one that our Xingyun Pavilion needs to focus on training. In order to strengthen Xingyun Pavilion, the Young Pavilion Master will definitely not reject you. As long as we can get in touch with her, there will always be a chance!"

The female disciples around encouraged him one after another.

"Hey, don't push me, can't I go?"

Youquan walked towards Xiao Yuan reluctantly.

On the training ground, Xiao Yuan looked at the red-dressed girl in front of him with a slightly red face, smiled slightly, and said:
"Your name is Youquan, right? I heard the teacher mention you before."

While saying this, Xiao Yuan also looked at the girl in front of him. Although the latter looked a little immature, she was undoubtedly a perfect beauty. When she grew up, she would definitely be a stunning woman that countless men would go through fire and water for. However, Xiao Yuan now had many confidantes around him. Some of them fought side by side with him, and some of them had been with him since childhood. Naturally, he would not be interested in a little girl.

What he valued most was this girl's extremely outstanding talent for cultivation.

The seventeen-year-old girl is at the prime of her youth, but Youquan has already stepped into the Dou Wang level!

Her achievements at this age can be said to be extremely outstanding even in Zhongzhou. If she is given enough time, her achievements will probably be quite terrifying. If all goes well, she will almost certainly grow into a Dou Zun level powerhouse.

Even if there is some opportunity, you can even reach the level of Fighting Saint!

If he could train this girl in advance and let her take over Xingyun Pavilion directly, wouldn't he be able to just be a hands-off boss?

Xiao Yuan had already started to think about it in his mind.

Seeing that Xiao Yuan actually knew her name, Youquan nodded repeatedly, and the girl's delicate little face was filled with joy.

"Young Master, can I take some time to give me some advice?"

Youquan said with a red face.

"Practice it."

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said softly.

"Ah."

Seeing the gentle smile on Xiao Yuan's handsome face, Youquan's heart beat faster, and then he quickly performed the earth-level palm fighting skill that he had just successfully practiced recently.

Xiao Yuan, who was standing aside, had his hands behind his back, and could not help but nod his head as he looked at Youquan, who was performing a set of earth-level palm fighting skills smoothly. He then pointed out some minor flaws that were not too big. What surprised Xiao Yuan was that Youquan corrected all of them almost not long after he pointed them out. The speed of her understanding made him shake his head and sigh. This woman was truly gifted, and her talent in fighting skills was even stronger than Xiao Yan's.

After performing a set of earth-level fighting skills, even Youquan, who was at the Dou Wang level, had a little sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were full of joy. He glanced at Xiao Yuan from the corner of his eye and asked a little nervously:
"Young Master, how did I fight?"

“Not bad, but it can be improved.”

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and reviewed Youquan's palm technique again.

OMG!

Looking at Xiao Yuan's perfect artistic conception and flawless palm technique, Youquan realized what a fucking genius was.

He was able to learn it and master it completely just by reading it once. With such a terrifying talent for cultivation, it's no wonder that he could become a powerful warrior at the Dou Zun level!
Xiao Yuan was not surprised by Youquan's reaction. He had practiced many heaven-level fighting skills, so his understanding of fighting skills was naturally extraordinary. A mere set of low-level earth-level fighting skills was naturally not difficult for him.

Thinking of Yao Lao's instructions, Xiao Yuan smiled and asked, "You have great talent. I plan to take you in as my apprentice. Are you willing?"

"what?"

Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Youquan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Seeing Youquan's reaction, Xiao Yuan was stunned.

No, why is she still hesitating?

Xiao Yuan began to doubt his life.

After all, he is now at the peak of the second level Dou Zun, a quasi-emperor soul, an eighth-grade peak alchemist, the young leader of Xingyun Pavilion, and a small giant of Danta!
Now that he has taken the initiative to ask for a disciple, the other party is still hesitating?
