Chapter 25: Ancient Yuan Appears
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, an emerald green jade piece appeared inside. At this time, a light spot was slowly moving in the center of the jade piece, as if it had a spirit.

Xiao Yan said, "The Great Elder told me that this jade piece was left by the ancestors of the Xiao family. Every clan leader would leave a bit of soul power in it. As long as the clan leader died, the wandering light would dissipate. The light point inside was left by my father."

Xiao Jue used his soul power to disperse the soul light left by Xiao Zhan, and then handed the jade piece to Xun'er.

However, just as Xun'er stretched out her hand, the jade piece disappeared. She frowned slightly and said coldly, "Who told you to do it?"

Xiao Jue was slightly shocked. It wasn't 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 some things 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 amazing 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 who are suspected to be enemies of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Jue said, "Why are you in such 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 powerhouse.

The two came to the back mountain of the Xiao family. In the cave where Xiao Jue had broken through and Yao Lao had refined pills, Xiao Yan began to practice and took the Qi Gathering Powder to break through to the Fighter level.

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 Kuimu Beast, breaking through directly from a one-star fighter to a three-star fighter.

Xiao Jue asked, "How's the Burning Technique going?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It seems that there is no change. It is still at the low level of the Yellow Rank."

"That's because the Peach Blossom Fire is too weak." Yao Lao said, "When you break through to the Nine-Star Fighter level, 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. Yao Lao's expression suddenly changed and he returned to the Bone Inflammation Ring.

"Are you Xiao Yan and Xiao Jue?"

A figure walked into the cave, but Xiao Jue's eyes showed a look of horror. In his perception, there was no trace of breath in front of him at all.

It was as if this person and even the space he was in did not exist, but when viewed with the naked eye, one could confirm that it was indeed a human figure. This contradictory perception seemed particularly strange.

This man was about forty years old and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. He was dressed in a simple linen robe and had a smile on his face, which made people feel a little at ease.

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 saluted, not forgetting to kick the stunned Xiao Yan.

"Greetings, uncle." "You've got a great opportunity." Gu Yuan nodded, looked at Xiao Jue and said, "Your body was shaped by the essence of a ninth-order demon beast, and you also have ninth-order beast fire and the Yin-Yang dual flames that have evolved to be comparable to the top ten on the list of strange fires. But that guy is obviously not very honest."

He pointed his finger, and Xiao Jue heard a wailing sound. Xiao Jue's mind immediately became a little confused, his eyes were filled with golden light, and his mind was full of chaos.

This strange condition lasted for quite a long time before it gradually improved. By the time Xiao Jue regained consciousness, the severe pain in his head had gradually subsided.

Faintly, he felt 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, "Within the Yin and Yang flames of your body, a remnant of the Dou Sheng's soul is recovering. It's almost like only a wisp of remnant remains. He probably wants to regain some of his strength in the future and then take over your body. His identity is also special. He is the Yin and Yang Lustful Saint Long Yan, who was killed by your ancestor Xiao Xuan thousands of years ago."

"I shattered his residual soul. Your body must have absorbed his blood essence, which matched the energy of his soul fragments. That's why you were able to directly increase your soul power and break through to the late Mortal Realm."

Xiao Jue was very happy and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Gu."

"That's all right." Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Your soul power has just transformed. If you continue to study with Master Yao, you will at least be an eighth-grade alchemist in the future, and maybe even a ninth-grade alchemist."

Yao Lao only then appeared and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings to Patriarch Gu Yuan."

"Zhongzhou's number one alchemist, Yao Zun." Gu Yuan smiled and nodded. "A once abandoned child of the Yao Clan has grown into a peak eighth-grade alchemist. That Yao Dan guy is really blind. You have quite the talent."

He took out a ball of liquid and threw it at Yao Chen, which merged into his soul body. It must be some special liquid that helped him restore his soul power.

Yao Lao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Clan Leader Gu Yuan."

"It's 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 ancient clan. As a thank you for taking care of her 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".

"Thank you, uncle." The two of them bowed and thanked him, and accepted it naturally.

Gu Yuan immediately handed Xiao Jue a storage ring and said, "This is the storage ring of your Xiao family's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao clan, who lived thousands of years ago. It contains some gifts from me in exchange for the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "If you can break through to Dou Zun within eleven and a half years, you can come to the Ancient Realm to participate in the Ancient Clan's Coming of Age Ceremony. At that time, the Heavenly Tomb will also be opened, and you can enter it to meet Xiao Xuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan disappeared. Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yan beside him murmured, "In other words, Xun'er has left?"

"That should be the case." Xiao Jue nodded. After all, Gu Yuandu showed up in person, and he was not sure whether Xun'er would stay.

Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief. He was under a lot of pressure facing Gu Yuan. He was expelled from the family by an elder of the Yao clan. The other party was even more terrifying than the clan leader of the Yao clan.

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Jue and said jokingly, "Aren't you a disciple of the Dou Sheng? Where are you going to find the Dou Sheng bones you promised to give me?"
