Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

On the other side, just after coming out of the Dan Realm, Lu Yu brought Zi Yan back to the manor in the Shengdan Mountains.

Xiong Zhan was also brought out by Lu Yu and Zi Yan. They found a quiet place outside Shengdan City and released him back into the wild. Xiong Zhan was overjoyed. His biggest dream was to travel around the continent and gain more knowledge.

He has been trapped in the Dan Realm since he was born and can no longer hold it in.

Now I have finally regained my freedom, like a bird flying into the sky and a fish swimming into the sea, no longer bound by constraints!

Then... when he walked to an empty corner, a silver light flashed, and a space crack appeared, swallowing him silently.

Before Xiong Zhan, an eighth-level dragon bear, could react and travel around the continent, he was swallowed by an unknown space crack and taken to another place. No one knew where he went.

Lu Yu and Zi Yan knew nothing about this. They tore open the space crack and went straight back to the manor in the Shengdan Mountains.

"Sister Medusa, Sister Yunyun, Sister Xiao Yixian, hehe... I thought you were practicing in seclusion!" Zi Yan rushed towards the three sisters at once, and was about to fulfill Lu Yu's dream of being hugged by women on both sides.

At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared and hugged her: "Huh... Zi Yan, can't you see me? Why didn't you call me?"

Qinglin said angrily and pinched Ziyan's little face.

When Lu Yu led the Soul Palace Dou Zun away and fled far away to the southwestern region of Zhongzhou, the two little girls Zi Yan and Qing Lin often played together and had a very good relationship.

Of course, Qinglin was still a little girl at that time, and Ziyan was also a little girl.

Now Qinglin has grown up, but Ziyan is still a little girl!

“Damn it!” Zi Yan supported Qing Lin’s shoulders with both hands, struggling to get out from Qing Lin’s chest in a miserable state, and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears: “You have grown up too, when will I grow up too!”

The three Medusa girls laughed and looked at Zi Yan's cute appearance with interest, and couldn't help but pinch her little face.

Zi Yan crossed her arms across her chest, feeling so depressed that she didn't know what to say. Those who were older than her were now bigger than her, and those who were the same age as her were also bigger than her. Zi Yan was indignant. She wanted to grow up quickly and become as big as she was when she grew up.

Lu Yu looked at the five girls playing and shook his head helplessly. He then walked towards the kitchen and cooked a table full of medicinal food.

Zi Yan is a very greedy little glutton, so of course she has to be rewarded. Besides... after looting from the Wanyao Mountains, Lu Yu is no longer short of medicinal materials.

"It's time for dinner!" Lu Yu called out softly to the five girls who were playing around.

Zi Yan screamed when she heard that, pushed away Qing Lin and Medusa who were holding her, and quickly ran to the dining table.

She is not greedy, she just wants to grow up quickly!

Right, that is it!

Seeing this, the four Qinglin girls also came to the dining table and had dinner with Zi Yan and Lu Yu.

Looking at the five beautiful girls, Lu Yu sighed and said, "Isn't this more fragrant than elixir?"

What about ten thousand people dropping into the cauldrons, ten thousand cauldrons lighting a fire? What about the glory of all the alchemists in the continent?

How can they be as fragrant as your own wives?

As night fell, the warm atmosphere in Shengdan City had not faded, and countless spectators were still looking forward to the birth of the champion, but Lu Yu and others were not interested in it.

Qinglin, Xiao Yixian, and Yunyun surrounded Zi Yan. They were very interested in the rumored Taixu ancient dragon clan, so they asked Zi Yan to tell them what the rumored Demon Beast Supreme was like.

It was rare for Zi Yan to show off in front of her sisters and Qing Lin, so she put her hands on her waist and started talking with some pride.

As for Lu Yu and Medusa...of course they are practicing dual cultivation!

After Zi Yan finally got off him, Lu Yu of course wanted to take this opportunity to do that... dual cultivation!

Lu Yu was not in a hurry to prepare the Earth's Core Soul Essence for Qinglin, Yunyun and others. He already had the stuff anyway, so there was no need to rush. Dual cultivation was more important!

What's more, they have not practiced any soul skills, so even if they break through by force, they can't do anything with the spiritual energy.

On the other side, Zi Yan, who was chattering about what she saw on Dragon Island, was suddenly stunned. She scratched her head angrily, and her little silver teeth were gnashing viciously.

"Zi Yan, what's wrong with you?" Little Medical Fairy asked curiously. What happened?

"Damn it, Sister Medusa is having an affair with Lu Yu again... Woohoo? What are you doing?" Zi Yan was indignant, but before she could finish her sentence, Yun Yun, whose pretty face was flushed, covered her mouth.

The sentence was not finished, but the three girls understood what Zi Yan was saying. Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem... Zi Yan, what are you talking about? Is there any sound here?" The Little Medical Fairy reacted quickly and looked around pretending not to understand.

In fact, she really didn't hear anything. Not only did she not hear anything, even Qing Lin, who had a strong perception, and Yun Yun, who had a strong soul power, didn't hear any sound.

"Hehe... You don't understand this, right?" Zi Yan smiled proudly: "I am the Taixu Ancient Dragon, and I am extremely sensitive to the power of space. When I was in Canaan College, their space formations were the same as nothing to me."

"Although I haven't grown up yet, my cultivation has already become stronger. The movement in the space formation is no different from the movement in the next room to me."

"So...so that's how it is..." Yun Yun forced a smile and then winked at Little Medical Fairy.

"Hehe... If I'm not mistaken, this space formation must be the work of Sister Medusa." Zi Yan smiled proudly and continued:

"If it was Lü Yu's formation, I would definitely not be able to hear anything, but the power of space... hehe, our Taixu Ancient Dragon is the king... eh? Where's Sister Xiao Yixian?"

As Zi Yan was speaking, she suddenly turned around and found that Xiao Yixian was gone.

"Oh... she had a stomachache and had to go out for a while." Yun Yun smiled and said, "Zi Yan, what happened to Dragon Island later? Is there only one Half-Saint in the Ancient Taixu Dragon?"

"I've got an upset stomach..." Zi Yan muttered. Isn't Sister Xiao Yixian a poisonous body? How could she get an upset stomach? What kind of food is so powerful that it can make a poisonous body uncomfortable?

But she didn't care too much and began to satisfy Yun Yun's questions.

After a while, the Little Medical Fairy came back, and about half an hour later, Lu Yu also came.

As for Medusa... she didn't come. She rolled on the floor in shame in the room. The strange look in Little Medical Fairy's eyes made her almost scratch the floor with her toes.

……

A few days passed little by little, and just as the Alchemy Conference was about to end, a powerful aura suddenly rose into the sky from the northeast of Shengdan City.

Boom!

A loud roar suddenly sounded. The audience who had just experienced the pill thunder thought that someone had succeeded in refining the pill again, but when they looked in the direction of the sound, they found a figure standing in the sky.

"What a strong aura! This person might already be a Dou Zun!"

"As expected of Danta, it has produced another Dou Zun. Even powerful forces like Fenglei Pavilion and Huangquan Pavilion only have one Dou Zun. Danta... I'm afraid all those guarding the warehouse are Dou Zun.

"You idiot, can Danta's warehouse be the same as other warehouses? Those are all precious medicinal materials. What's wrong with Dou Zun guarding it?"

On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi and his companions were also looking towards the northeast in surprise.

"That's... Xiao Yan?" Xuan Yi asked in surprise. Is he already a Dou Zun?

"It's Xiao Yan, but he's not a Dou Zun yet." Xuan Kongzi frowned slightly, and after sensing for a moment, he sighed helplessly: "Stronger than the peak of Dou Zong, but still half a step away from a true one-star Dou Zun. I can only say... half a step to Dou Zun."

"At his age, it's quite good to have achieved such an achievement!"

"Alas..." Xuan Yi sighed slightly. Ever since she knew that Xiao Yan was Yao Chen's direct disciple, she regarded Xiao Yan as her junior. But unfortunately, this junior was still a long way behind Lu Yu.

"Not bad, at least the success rate of rescuing Yao Chen has increased a lot." Tian Lei Zi said with a smile on his face. The fact that he, who used to be extremely stern, could show such an expression showed that he was extremely satisfied with Xiao Yan.

"Indeed. Besides, Lu Yu will also participate in the rescue of Yao Chen..." Xuan Kongzi nodded and said.

"Have you found any clues about Yao Chen's whereabouts?" Xuan Yi asked. Xuan Kongzi was in charge of this matter. He was the strongest among the three giants, so naturally he would take the lead in dealing with the Soul Palace.

"Almost..." Xuan Kongzi frowned, "The Soul Palace is extremely cunning and often changes Yao Chen's imprisonment location."

"Hmm? It seems that the Soul Palace's defense is insufficient," Xuan Yi's eyebrows twitched. If the power was sufficient, a Half-Saint could be used directly, and there would be no need to switch back and forth like this.

"Indeed..." Tian Leizi nodded: "This is the most suitable time to rescue Yao Chen. If we wait until the Soul Palace recovers..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi's faces suddenly became solemn. It was indeed true. If the Soul Palace recovered its strength, it would probably not be something that could be shaken by just a few Dou Zuns.

"I'll urge you again!" Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice.

On the other side, Xiao Yan, whose body was surrounded by light black flames, sighed slightly, slowly restrained his aura and fell down.

Xuan Huang Yan somewhat failed to live up to his expectations and did not allow him to be promoted to Dou Zun. Meanwhile, "Burning Art" did not enter the Heavenly Rank as he had expected, and it did not even reach the Quasi-Heavenly Rank. It was only slightly stronger than the average high-level Earth-Rank technique. It was impossible for him to plunder the energy of heaven and earth for himself as violently as Lu Yu did.

"It seems that I still need strange fire..." Xiao Yan sighed slightly, and the desire for strange fire surged in his heart again. Although Xuanhuangyan was a strange fire, it ranked last on the strange fire list, and its improvement to him was ultimately very limited.

No wonder that guy Lu Yu only asked him for Danlingjiang. It turned out that Xuanhuang Yan was not as powerful as imagined.

If you want to achieve a leapfrog improvement in strength, you have to rely on the powerful strange fires ranked in the top ten on the strange fire list.

In the Shengdan Mountains, Lu Yu and the five girls witnessed Xiao Yan's improvement in strength.

"This Xiao Yan is really talented..." Qing Lin frowned. This man was only a few years older than her, but he was actually a whole realm stronger than her.

“His strength comes from that strange technique and strange fire.” Yun Yun explained. Lu Yu had told her about Xiao Yan’s peculiarities. It seemed that Xiao Yan was really the kind of person who was forced to be strong by God.

"Forget it, don't pay attention to him." Lu Yu pulled the two women to the secret room and smiled softly: "I'll get you something that will help your souls. Let's go!"

After resting for a few days, the two women practiced soul skills under the guidance of Lu Yu. Now, it is time to upgrade Qinglin and Yunyun's souls to the spiritual realm.

As for Medusa and Xiao Yixian... there's no rush. If I'm not mistaken, the matter of rescuing Yao Chen will be put on the agenda after a while. Lu Yu needs manpower now.

Moreover, the Earth's Soul Essence and Danling Juice in his hands, as well as the Gastrodia Jade Essence he brought back from the Wanyao Mountains, were enough for Xiao Yixiang and Medusa to use, so there was no need to rush.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and just when Lu Yu was instructing Medusa and Xiao Yixian to start practicing soul skills, a Danta deacon asked for a meeting, holding a post saying that Xuankongzi invited them.

"The Yunyu Sect's Suyu Mountains...one of the twenty-four Earthly Demon Palaces." Lu Yu touched his chin. Twenty-four Earthly Demon Palaces. I hope the soul origin of the Earthly Demon Palace will not let me down.

"No! Yunyu Sect?" Lü Yu's eyes suddenly focused: "Isn't this the sect founded by the three Scorpion Demons?"

"Please lead the way!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice. He wanted to go see Xuan Kongzi and find out what was going on.

Chapter 317 I, Lu Yu, never cheat anyone!

Danta!

As the grand occasion of the Alchemy Conference faded, Shengdan City gradually returned to its former tranquility. Although people were still coming and going, it was at least not as crowded as during the Alchemy Conference.

In the towering black tower, there is a relatively hidden conference hall.

The three giants of Danta sat quietly in the middle, while on the opposite side, there was only Xiao Yan. Cao Ying, who had always been with Xuan Kongzi, was not even allowed to enter this time.

Looking at Xiao Yan, whose body was tense and eyes were stern, Xuan Yi couldn't help but shook his head: "Xiao Yan, you... can't lose your mind. Breaking into the Soul Palace and rescuing Yao Chen is not a simple matter. You can't lose your composure!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan pursed his lips subconsciously, then took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his nervousness: "Yes, thank you Aunt Xuan for your advice!"

On the side, Tian Lei Zi nodded. Facing the Soul Palace, no one could not help but be nervous. Xiao Yan had done a good job.

squeak~

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and Lü Yu walked in holding a note: "Greetings, three seniors!"

"Everyone is here, let's talk business." Seeing this, Xuan Kongzi tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice: "Since we learned that Yao Chen was captured by the Soul Palace, we have already started an investigation and quickly determined the location."

"But the defense was extremely strong at the time, with a full half-saint strongman in charge. Even if I took action myself, I would not be their opponent."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank. Half-saint? That was a peerless powerhouse that could only be achieved by a Dou Zun who had gone through the nine transformations!

"But... it's a little strange that more than half a year ago, the Soul Palace began to withdraw its forces, and Yao Chen's imprisonment place also began to be moved. The garrison strength... must have also been declining."

"Xiao Yan, this rescue must not fail. If it fails, it will be troublesome when the Soul Palace recovers!" Xuan Kongzi warned solemnly.

"I understand!" Xiao Yan replied in a deep voice: "Then where is my teacher now?"

"He was previously imprisoned in the Dark City in the western region of Zhongzhou. His current location is in the Su Yu Mountains in the northeastern region of Zhongzhou." Xuan Kongzi said.

"Western Region Underworld City?" Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Yu in surprise. He remembered very clearly that when Lu Yu traded with him the method of spiritual ascension, he told him that the location was Western Region Underworld City...

"Why are you looking at me?" Lü Yu said angrily, "When have I ever cheated you? When have I ever lied to you?"

"I have a special source of intelligence, the kind that is 100% accurate!"

"Haha...ha..." Xiao Yan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He had always regarded the method of spiritual ascension as a reward for asking Lu Yu for help, rather than a reward for obtaining information about Yao Chen.

Now it seems that he was too narrow-minded to judge others. Not only did Lu Yu not make any profit, but he even lost money!

“Then… what’s the reputation of this Soul Palace branch in the Su Yu Mountains? How many Dou Zun are there in the Soul Palace?” Xiao Yan quickly changed the subject, fearing that the three seniors would ask about the details.

"This Soul Palace is indeed not simple!" Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice: "In addition to the general branch palaces, the twenty-seven palaces in the Soul Palace are the most important."

"There are twenty-four Earthly Demon Palaces and three Heavenly Demon Palaces. The Dark City Branch Palace and the Suyu Mountain Range Branch Palace are both among the twenty-four Earthly Demon Palaces."

As expected... Xiao Yan's heart sank, and pressure suddenly surged into his heart: "The one who is in charge of this branch hall in the Suyu Mountain Range is the Soul Hall Celestial Lord?"

"Yes, this person's name is Star-Picking Old Ghost, and he is at the peak of the Five-Star Dou Zun level. In his early years, he was notorious in Zhongzhou. His Senluo Big Star Hand and Star-Breaking Knife were well-known throughout the world. Later, he joined the Soul Palace, and his notoriety became even worse than before." Xuan Kongzi said.

"Not only that, there are several Soul Hall Dou Zun with strong strength in the Suyu Mountain Branch Hall. According to the intelligence, there are at least three or four of them."

“Four or five Dou Zuns, one of whom is at the peak of five stars…” Xiao Yan clenched his fists, and heavy pressure instantly fell on him.

With his current strength, he can use all the means to deal with it. A two or three star Dou Zun is no problem, but for a five star... he can only fight with all his might!
