Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"We will also provide you with suitable mid-level or even high-level Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills."

Elder Tongxuan was very respectful.

Even though he was an elder of the ancient clan, he still had to maintain respect when facing Xiao Yang, a ninth-grade alchemist.

A ninth-grade alchemist holds a much higher status in the Dou Qi Continent than an ordinary Dou Sheng.

After all, this is the kind of existence that can produce several Battle Saints!

Xiao Yang listened to these conditions without any emotion, and even felt a little disdain.

Is it permissible to use medicinal herbs indiscriminately?

The ancient tribes certainly didn't have as many medicinal herbs as he did.

Even if all the ancient imperial clans were combined, they wouldn't have as many top-grade medicinal herbs as Xiao Yang.

The medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking?

To be honest, it's definitely not as good as the Heavenly Profound Cauldron that the system rewards.

Heavenly-level cultivation techniques and combat skills?

Xiao Yang has absolutely nothing to lack.

He even suspected that the ancient clan might be trying to give him the cultivation techniques and fighting skills that the Xiao clan once possessed.

After all, the Xiao clan's cultivation techniques and fighting skills were once in the hands of the ancient clan.

With Xiao Xuan present, Xiao Yang could be fairly certain that the Xiao clan must have possessed a high-level Heaven-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique in the past.

This might be what the ancient clans wanted to give themselves.

Xiao Yang will eventually reclaim the cultivation techniques and fighting skills left behind by the Xiao clan.

Although he might not need it at the time.

However, those things will always belong to the Xiao family.

Xiao Yang will not take it back by joining the ancient clan.

He will make the ancient clan return the items themselves!

Of all the nine-star Dou Sheng in the original novel, Xiao Yang looked down on Gu Yuan the most.

Gu Yuan can be considered one of the most indecisive.

Although the Soul Emperor is a villain, he has many tricks up his sleeve, good strategies, and is ruthless enough.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan, the Soul Emperor would definitely have succeeded.

In fact, even with Xiao Yan present, he still managed to become a Dou Di.

Although Xiao Xuan failed to break through, it was also because he was unaware of the existence of Origin Qi.

He at least tried.

Gu Yuan was indecisive and hesitant to make a decision when he should.

The so-called care for the descendants of the Xiao clan has also extended to remote towns in the Northwest Continent.

Once the most prestigious family on the continent, they have fallen to the point where their strongest members are merely minor families at the Great Dou Master level.

Faced with the Soul Emperor's conspiracy, they did not know how to unite with other families to resist.

Therefore, although Gu Yuan was a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, Xiao Yang was not particularly fond of him.

He didn't hesitate and said it directly.

"No, I have no intention of joining any other faction."

"With me and Xiao Yanzi here, the Xiao family will eventually return to its former glory, or even become stronger!"

At this moment, Xiao Yang's eyes were full of confidence.

Xun'er wasn't particularly surprised to hear this.

However, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Elder Tongxuan beside him.

Just then, Xiao Yang continued.

"However, for Xun'er's sake..."

"If the ancient clans want me to refine ninth-grade pills, that's no problem."

"You can come and coordinate with Xiao Yanzi when the time comes."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang secretly gave Xiao Yan a look.

How about that? Am I awesome?

Xiao Yan secretly returned a grateful look.

You're awesome, bro!

Upon hearing this, Xun'er blushed and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan.

"Then thank you very much, Cousin Xiao Yang."

"Our ancient clan will also give you sufficient compensation at that time."

Elder Tongxuan had already noticed the strange behavior between Xun'er and Xiao Yan.

However, he pretended not to see it.

Xiao Yan's current identity is quite extraordinary.

He is the younger brother of a ninth-grade alchemist.

Moreover, his master, Yao Lao, was also a figure who could potentially reach the ninth rank.

The main reason is actually because of Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang is too young!

Elder Tongxuan knew that Xiao Yang was only a little older than Xiao Yan.

A ninth-grade alchemist in his twenties!

In the future, Xiao Yang will most likely be able to refine a ninth-grade golden pill!

Moreover, there is a high probability that he will be able to break through to the late stage of Dou Sheng!

Chapter 460 Five Strange Flames

It's different from the original story.

Although Yao Lao in the original novel was also a ninth-grade alchemist, he was too old.

But Xiao Yang is only in his early twenties!

A saint in his twenties, and also a ninth-grade alchemist.

Such a status would be taken seriously even by the second strongest ancient clan among the ancient imperial clans.

If Xun'er hadn't loved Xiao Yan, Elder Tongxuan would have even thought that Xiao Yang would have been Xun'er's best match.

As for whether Xun'er can be with Xiao Yan in the future, Elder Tongxuan is not sure.

Anyway, with him watching over things, nothing can happen between Xun'er and Xiao Yan.

There's no need to offend Xiao Yang over something so trivial.

Xiao Yan himself is not bad either. Although he is only a Dou Zong, he has a brother who is a ninth-grade alchemist!

Moreover, Xiao Yan is very young now.

The talent he has shown so far is comparable to that of many ancient clan geniuses.

It's important to understand that Xiao Yan's upbringing was vastly different from that of the ancient clan geniuses.

Because of Xun'er, Elder Tongxuan also knew that Xiao Yan had only taken a few years to go from the third stage of Dou Qi to Dou Zong.

Although not as outrageous as Xiao Yang, he is no less than the top geniuses of the ancient clans, and it can even be said that he is more talented than the younger generation of the ancient clans!

Furthermore, Elder Tongxuan also knew about Xun'er's potential.

With Xun'er's potential, she will at least be a late-stage Dou Sheng in the future, and the possibility of her reaching the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level is also very high.

Xun'er is highly likely to be the next clan leader of the ancient clan.

When the time comes, Xun'er will not need to consider the opinions of those stubborn old men of the ancient clans who she wants to marry.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Gu Yuan seems to be restricted by those old stubborn people from the ancient clans.

But in reality, when it really came down to it, no one dared to contradict Gu Yuan's decision.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the strong have always been respected!

After chatting for a while longer, Xun'er and the others said their goodbyes.

Although they did not achieve their goal this time, they had anticipated it.

However, receiving Xiao Yang's promise to help refine ninth-grade pills was a decent reward.

Xun'er and Elder Tongxuan also need to go back and report this matter to the clan.

"Cousin Xiao Yang, I'll take my leave now."

"I still need to go back and report to my clan."

Seeing that it was almost time, Xun'er spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang smiled and replied.

"Okay, just contact me if you need anything."

Xiao Yang also gave Xun'er a communication token just now.

He estimated that as long as he didn't send messages within the ancient clan's space, he would be able to get news of Xun'er.

Soon, Xun'er left.

Before leaving, she took one last, reluctant look at Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also wanted to leave, but Xiao Yang called him back.
