Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 394 It's obvious who did it!
"Who is so powerful that they have forced the three clans to this point, even sending their clan's prodigies out of the clan's territory to prevent any unforeseen events?"

After Little Fairy Doctor arranged for Yao Ling and the others to stay at Zixiao Palace, she returned to the main hall and saw Xiao Bai still sitting there deep in thought. She couldn't help but ask softly.

Since Xun'er told her about the Eight Clans, she has gained some understanding of these ancient families.

These races have existed on the Dou Qi Continent for tens of thousands of years. Compared with the changing forces in Zhongzhou, they can be considered immortal forces in a sense, as long as their bloodline remains strong.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was also shocked and looked at Xiao Bai, eager to know the answer.

"Who knows?"

Xiao Bai snapped out of his reverie and smiled noncommittally.

He didn't directly reveal to the three clans what the Soul Clan had done. From the words of the others just now, he sensed a test—a test of him, and also a test of the Ancient Clan.

Clearly, these guys now have two suspects: an ancient race and a soul race.

From Lei Zhen's words, he sensed that the three races seemed to be planning an alliance, but it was only an intention at the moment, and the opinions of the races were not in agreement.

After all, compared to the Spirit Stone Clan, these three clans are clearly a level above in strength. Some people in the clan believe that neither the Ancient Clan nor the Soul Clan can be made to be like the Spirit Stone Clan.

"Heh, it seems that a peak nine-star Dou Sheng has put a lot of pressure on the various races, otherwise they wouldn't have sent someone out to protect their bloodline!"

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, "The most core member of the three clans, the one with the best talent, wasn't sent out. As for the other exceptionally talented ones, they all chose not to stay in their clans during this period."

However, he didn't care much about these things. He kept thinking about how this matter would affect his plans. The news of the Spirit Stone Clan hadn't spread yet. If the Soul Clan got the news, would they speed up their pace and take the lead in attacking the clans?
His mind raced. Now was the best time to spread the news of the ancient emperor's cave. This way, even if the Soul Clan made any moves, they would be directly disrupted.

However, only half a month has passed since Canaan College moved away, so it's clear they won't be moving so quickly.

No, we need to send a message to Elder Su Qian, urging him to expedite the relocation.

"Xian'er, is Elder Hai in Zixiao Palace now?"

Xiao Bai tapped his fingers lightly on the table, instantly thinking of a suitable candidate. With him assisting Canaan Academy, both the Divine Firmament Alliance and the Mittel family could help Canaan Academy as soon as possible.

"After obtaining the cultivation techniques from the Ice River Valley, Elder Hai stayed there, cultivating while also helping the palace with affairs there."

Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head slightly. These days she had been in charge of all the affairs of Zixiao Palace. After a little thought, she revealed Hai Bodong's whereabouts.

"Send a message to him to come back!"

Xiao Bai turned his head to look at the gentle woman beside him, took her hand and chuckled softly.

The fairy doctor blushed slightly, nodded gently, and agreed.

"cough"

A cough interrupted their exchange of glances.

Xiao Bai looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old figure coughing lightly with one hand clenched into a fist near his mouth.

"Isn't this Venerable Medicine? I thought you were asleep just now, not even flinching when someone was watching you!"

"You brat, I'm already old enough to argue with a junior. Wouldn't that be beneath my dignity?"

With his hands behind his back, Yao Lao's appearance, combined with his otherworldly and dignified demeanor, gave him the air of a grandmaster.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai chuckled. That Yao Ling's soul power was in no way weaker than that of Yao Lao at his peak.

Moreover, he could sense that the spirit of the medicine was quite special, possessing extremely strong talent in this area.

The old man is still very stubborn!

Too lazy to call him out, she stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go to the back mountain. It's time to fulfill the promise I made to you when I was young!"

The old doctor couldn't hold back any longer. His illusory body trembled slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. After so many years, he could finally have a body again, instead of being like this, neither human nor ghost.

"Teacher, let's go!"

Xiao Yan's voice brought Yao Lao back to his senses. Xiao Bai and the other person were no longer in the hall; only the master and disciple remained.

Seeing Xiao Yan looking at him with obvious joy, Yao Lao felt a surge of satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder:

"It is my good fortune to have met you two little ones!"

After saying that, it slowly floated away.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, staring at the illusory figure. His eyes trembled slightly, his lips moved a few times, and he murmured softly:

"It is Xiao Yan's good fortune to have met his teacher!"

"Daddy!"

As soon as Xiao Bai arrived at the back mountain, a streak of multicolored lightning flashed across the space and headed straight for him.

A smile instantly appeared on his face as he opened his arms and steadily caught the small figure that was rushing towards him.

"Father, you're finally back! Qing'er missed you so much!"

Xiao Qing wrapped her arms around Xiao Bai's neck and nuzzled him affectionately.

"Have you been good lately? Have you been listening to your Aunt Fairy?" Xiao Bai held the adorable little girl in his arms and examined her internal condition.

Xiao Qing blinked her big eyes and proudly puffed out her small chest:

"Qing'er is such a good girl! She even helps Aunt Xian take care of the herb garden every day!"

Xiao Bai sensed the increasingly solidified lightning power within her body and nodded in satisfaction. In a little while, he would be able to teach the little one cultivation techniques.

However, judging from the ambiguous smile on Xian'er's face beside him, the little guy's words about taking care of her were clearly somewhat 'special'.

“Qing’er is indeed very ‘diligent’. Yesterday she almost pulled up the Nine Heavens Purple Cattail in the herb garden, thinking it was a weed, saying that it was affecting the growth of a Jade Sun Flower next to it.”

“!!” Xiao Bai.

Nine Heavens Purple Cattail Grass, an eighth-grade medicinal herb;

Jade Sun Flower, second tier, but the scent it emits can promote the growth of Nine Heavens Purple Cattail Grass.

The little guy knows how to mow the weeds!

"Aunt Fairy!"

Xiao Qing blushed instantly and buried her head in Xiao Bai's shoulder.

Xiao Bai quickly realized why the little one was acting this way. He patted her head affectionately. She must have just read "Introduction to Herbal Medicines," which only explained some low-level herbs. It was normal that she didn't recognize the Nine Heavens Purple Cattail Grass.

Carrying Xiao Qing, they arrived at a secluded spot in the back mountains, where a stone gate stood before them.

"Father, how much longer until Mother comes out!" Xiao Qing stared longingly at the stone gate. She had been with Cai Lin since she was a child and had never been separated from him for so long.

After sensing for a moment, Xiao Bai smiled and said, "It will be soon!"

In the quiet room behind the stone gate, Cai Lin's aura was exceptionally strong, already showing signs of becoming a Dou Zun. It seemed that the pill refined from the ancient Heavenly Serpent Blood Stone was having an exceptionally good effect on her.

At this moment, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan also arrived at the back mountain.

"Grandpa Medicine, Uncle Xiao Yan!" Xiao Qing waved her little hand to greet the two of them.

"Haha, good boy!"

The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled, then walked over and patted the little guy's head.

Xiao Yan also rushed over with a smile and pinched Xiao Qing's little cheek:

"Xiao Qing'er has grown taller recently."

Looking at the little guy, Xiao Yan felt a little dazed, as if recalling the scene of his first meeting with Xiao Qing.

Upon learning that she was Brother Bai's child, he impulsively prepared to tease her, but the little one suddenly flew up in front of him and even stood upright in mid-air. In that instant, he nearly dropped his jaw. A Dou Zong!

How much did he go through to reach this level?
Some people are born at this level, which made him and Tang Huo'er feel somewhat depressed, as if they had wasted so many years of their lives!
The group passed the place where Cai Lin had secluded himself and arrived at another mountain peak, where a stone chamber had also been set up.

"Qing'er, your father has something to do. Why don't you go play somewhere else with Aunt Fairy?" Little Fairy Doctor walked over and stretched out her hands to Xiao Qing.

Although Xiao Qing was somewhat reluctant, she still obediently nodded:

"Daddy, you have to play with me when you're done with your work!"

"Okay!" Xiao Bai agreed with a smile.

After Little Fairy Doctor left with Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai turned to look at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan:

"Master Yao, are you ready?"

The old doctor took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling in his heart, and nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai didn't say anything more and stepped into the stone chamber. Xiao Yan and Yao Lao exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed him in.

"Brother Bai, these are the ingredients for the Blood-Regenerating and Bone-Melting Pill!"

Inside the stone chamber, Xiao Bai waved his sleeve and took out a crystal-like alchemy furnace. Xiao Yan hurriedly took out a storage ring and handed it over.

"Huh? These medicinal herbs are all quite old!"

As Xiao Bai swept his soul power through his storage ring, a strange light flashed in his eyes. These medicinal herbs were clearly carefully selected, several levels higher than the minimum requirements.

"My teacher has been resurrected. As his disciple, I can't just do nothing!" Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, the old doctor's eyes flickered slightly, and a warm feeling washed over him.

"Don't underestimate yourself. With your current alchemy skills, you can also refine this Blood-Generating Bone-Melting Pill!"

While arranging the medicinal herbs, Xiao Bai casually offered words of comfort.

If Xiao Yan hadn't wanted to go any further, he would have been able to revive Yao Lao with his strength.

Although his cultivation level cannot be guaranteed, resurrection is definitely not a problem.

"It's possible, but the success rate of making pills is low. I only have one batch of medicinal herbs of this age, so I can't use it for practice!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand. He knew his own limitations. Being able to refine an eighth-grade pill at the Pill Gathering did not mean that the success rate was 100%. If something unexpected happened, he would have to find the medicinal materials again.

Moreover, the same medicinal materials might yield two or three colors in his hands at most, but in Xiao Bai's hands, they could yield five or six colors, with a higher success rate. There's no need to hesitate about which to choose, so it's safer to leave it to him.

Xiao Bai nodded without saying anything more. He flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame fell into the alchemy furnace. Instantly, the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing echoed within the furnace.

One by one, the medicinal herbs were poured into the furnace in a flowing motion, a dazzling sight.

"Tsk tsk. If you, Brother Bai, were to attend the Pill Gathering, what chance would that woman have?"

Looking at Xiao Bai, who handled the task with such ease, a hint of amazement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

The two of them started learning alchemy almost one after the other, and the former took the thunder method of alchemy. At first, it was not smooth, but it seemed that there were no bottlenecks along the way. Now, no one knows where his limit is.

"I heard that you refined the five-colored pill this time and didn't take the pill lightning?" Xiao Bai asked casually.

With his current soul power, refining a Blood-Generating and Bone-Melting Pill is not a difficult task. He can chat idly without delaying his work.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan choked for a moment, looking at the culprit in front of him with resentment.

Xiao Bai was somewhat confused, but then Yao Lao's light laughter rang out:
"This good-for-nothing! Last time I saw you catching the Eight-Colored Thunder Pill, I thought it was easy to catch, so I tried to catch it myself, and look what happened!"

“!!” Xiao Bai.

Although the old doctor hadn't finished speaking, he already understood that Xiao Yan had definitely suffered a loss due to his carelessness.

"Wow."

With a soft sound, Xiao Yan stared at the object in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

"Brother Bai, what's this?"

Just now, a flash of light appeared in Xiao Bai's storage ring, and a scroll of bamboo slips fell into his arms.

"Consider this your payment for helping me retrieve pills in the ruins before. Don't be silly and try to catch pill lightning with your bare hands in the future, or you'll become a laughing stock!"

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan and smiled faintly.

Xiao Yan blinked in confusion, then slowly unfolded the gray-brown bamboo slip in his hand. Three fierce, blood-red characters instantly came into view.

"A Celestial Demon Puppet?!"

Xiao Yan continued reading, his eyes growing brighter with each glance, until finally they revealed a look of wild joy. What a treasure!

"What amazing puppetry!"

The old doctor also looked away from the bamboo slips, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Bai, this..."

Holding the bamboo slip, Xiao Yan was at a loss for words. Although Xiao Bai said it was a reward, he knew that it was just an excuse to give him the item.

"What? You don't want it? If you don't want it, I can take it back!"

Xiao Bai glanced sideways, making a gesture as if to take back the bamboo slips.

"Hehe. There's no reason to take back something you've given away."

Burying his gratitude deep in his heart, Xiao Yan swiftly stored the bamboo slip into his storage ring. Anyway, he already owed Brother Bai quite a bit; he could always pay it back slowly in the future.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Xiao Bai rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the alchemy furnace.

Several days passed in a flash.

In a quiet courtyard within the guest room area of ​​Zixiao Palace, several figures were leisurely enjoying tea.

"Lei Zhen, the clan sent us out to gain experience, so are we just going to stay here in Zixiao Palace?" Huo Yang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at the robust man opposite him.

"Training? Where are you going to train? The training is just an excuse for us to come out this time. Everyone in the clan knows what we really mean. It's just to be on the safe side and preserve our bloodline!"

Lei Zhen glanced at the other party and said slowly.

The events involving the Ling Shi and Er clans served as a wake-up call for all their clans. If someone were to secretly carry out an act of extermination, then dispersing like this would be the best course of action.

Firstly, to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop, after all, the example of the Xiao clan is right before our eyes; a thousand years have passed, and yet another branch has risen again.

Secondly, they all have soul tablets left in their clans. If something really happens, the clans will definitely know immediately, intervene in the investigation, and find out who is behind it all.

“We can’t stay here. You said before that Xiao Bai and Gu Xun’er have a close relationship. What if it really was done by the Gu clan? Wouldn’t we be walking into a trap?”

Yao Xingji put down his teacup, feeling slightly annoyed as he thought about Xiao Bai's domineering behavior that day.

"Hehe. That would be even better!" A strange smile appeared on Lei Zhen's lips.

He brought everyone here this time to see if Xiao Bai knew anything about the Ling Shi clan.

He had witnessed Xiao Bai and Gu Xun'er's relationship firsthand, and Gu Xun'er, being the daughter of the Gu clan chief, must have been well aware of certain things.

The three races now most want to know who did the Spirit Stone Clan's dirty work, and why.

Are they an ancient race or a soul race? Is it because of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade?
These are all things that the three races are eager to know. After all, having a target will allow the races to take targeted precautions and unite with the other race among the two ancient soul races to fight against that utterly wicked race.

During his visit to Zixiao Palace, he had already informed his clan that if anything happened there...
It goes without saying who did it!
