Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

Seeing Yao Lao's reaction, Yao Dan's heart sank slightly. He knew that even if he invited him, given Yao Lao's current attitude, there was absolutely no way he would return to the Yao Clan. Any lingering hope he had felt vanished completely.

"I have already made arrangements for your parents' affairs. You can come back to the clan to pay your respects whenever you wish."

If Yao Lao still had any attachment to the Yao Clan, it was his longing for his biological parents. Yao Dan's actions were naturally intended to win people's hearts, but this was indeed one of Yao Lao's most important wishes, and now that it had been fulfilled, Yao Lao felt a sense of relief.

"Thank you, Chieftain!"

The old doctor's answer was simple, but his eyes revealed his attitude.

Then Yao Dan stopped talking and turned his gaze to Lei Qingyue, signaling him to continue.

Looking at Yao Dan's current state, Lei Qingyue felt somewhat helpless. He shrugged and said to Xiao Yan, "Young friend Xiao Yan, I already know about what happened to you in the Lei Clan a few days ago. That guy is indeed senile. If I had known beforehand, I definitely wouldn't have caused such a disgraceful incident. Sharing the Lei Clan's clan emblem is not a problem, and as for the so-called price, there's no need to pay it. I've already brought back those two Bodhi seeds."

Xiao Yan had used his last two Bodhi seeds to exchange for the Lei Clan's clan emblem, and now Lei Qingyue had returned those two Bodhi seeds intact. Moreover, his attitude was quite lenient, clearly showing that he genuinely wanted to repair his relationship with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at the two Bodhi seeds in his palm, but finally shook his head and said, "Elder Qingyue, there's no need for this. I can afford this price."

Xiao Yan knew that there was no such thing as unconditional kindness in this world. Lei Qingyue's desire to return the Bodhi seeds to him was definitely for ulterior motives. Although it pained him to part with the two Bodhi seeds that were out in the open, he knew it was a price he had to pay. Taking the two Bodhi seeds back might only lead to even greater trouble.

Lei Qingyue saw that Xiao Yan was unwilling to accept it and tried to give it to him again and again, but Xiao Yan still refused to accept it.

Lei Qingyue could only sigh helplessly, "I'm absolutely fed up with those short-sighted idiots!"

Lei Qingyue muttered a curse in front of the three people. The target of his curse was naturally the elder of the Lei clan. After he said this, the other three did not know how to respond.

Having said all that, the other two had no reason to stay any longer and could only choose to leave. Before leaving, Yao Dan once again reminded Elder Yao that he could return to the Yao Clan at any time if he wished.

The old apothecary responded politely to this, while also subtly implying his refusal. He was also worried that a vague answer might lead to further entanglement with the medicine clan, which was something he didn't want.

The Old Master Yao's growth story is truly legendary. Aside from his childhood, he never actually relied on the Yao Clan. Now that he has truly grown powerful and has the Guiyuan Mansion founded by his disciples, there is no reason for him to return to the Yao Clan. The Yao Clan can only watch helplessly; at this point, it's already the limit that they can prevent the Old Master Yao from becoming hostile towards them.

After the two left, Yao Lao asked Xiao Yan with great interest, "What do you think was the purpose of their visit?"

"The change in attitude is obvious, naturally because of the pharmacopoeia. No one can ignore someone who can refine a ninth-grade Xuan Dan, even if the two of them work together. I think they probably really want to win over the teacher, but their sincerity is very limited. If they are willing to hand over the medicine Wangui, then we can barely talk."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao couldn't help but laugh: "That's absolutely impossible. Yao Wangui is a four-star Dou Sheng after all. Even if Yao Dan is dissatisfied with him, he can't really take action against him. If he really punishes Yao Wangui, the Yao Clan will be thrown into turmoil. My importance still can't compare to the stability of the entire Yao Clan."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and scoff, "Then it doesn't matter at all. Wasn't my teacher also hurt and abandoned by the power dynamics of the time?"

Xiao Yan didn't discuss whether the method of making the elixir was correct or not, because it was meaningless.

"We've made them realize they were wrong back then, but in the future, I want them to truly regret it and understand how big a mistake it was to kick their teacher out. Of course, now that we're here, we absolutely can't let Yao Wangui get away with this so easily."

As a teacher, Yao Lao understood Xiao Yan's personality very well, and when he heard him say that, he knew that Xiao Yan meant something.

"What? You think the lesson you taught him last time wasn't enough?"

Xiao Yan shook his head without hesitation: "That was the first time I encountered Yao Wangui, and I was unprepared beforehand, which is why I let him go so easily. Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you for all the injustices you suffered!"

"I know your intentions, but you must be careful in your actions. Firstly, we are still within the Medicine Clan, and secondly, fighting against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan is our top priority right now."

"I know that too, so we'll still need to do that then..."

Seven days after the pharmacopoeia was published, this was perhaps the highest-level trade fair on the entire continent to officially begin.

In some ways, the trade fair was even more popular than the pharmacopoeia. The reason is simple: the pharmacopoeia required an eighth-grade alchemist to participate, a requirement that many powerful individuals couldn't meet, and they could only watch from the sidelines.

However, trade fairs are much simpler and more direct. As long as you are strong enough and your products are good enough, you can become one of the main participants.

For a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint), every step forward requires a massive investment of resources. Many of the items they possess are of high quality and extremely valuable. However, there are always reasons why they cannot use them themselves. In such cases, trading them for the resources they need is naturally the best option.

The event was held in a specially decorated, luxurious pavilion in the pharmaceutical industry. The biggest difference from a typical auction was the greater transparency of identities. After all, at this level of strength, concealing one's identity was pointless; everyone was basically familiar with each other.

After entering the pavilion, the group from Guiyuan Prefecture didn't pay any attention to anything else and just randomly chose a room. During their stay, they also encountered some acquaintances.

After everyone was seated, the entire trade fair had a scale of nearly a hundred people. Among them were representatives from Guiyuan Prefecture, a dozen or so from the Lei Clan, a dozen or so from the Yao Clan, a dozen or so from the Shi Clan, and the rest were other powerful figures from the continent. The continent was indeed vast enough that those publicly displayed did not represent the true powerhouses of the continent.
