The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

A light green dress accentuated her exquisitely curvaceous figure, her slender waist seemingly easily encircled by a single hand. She wore pale blue patterned shoes, and her entire being exuded an ethereal, otherworldly elegance, like a playful mountain sprite, captivating all eyes, especially those of men. This fairy-like figure bore a resemblance to Xun'er, but possessed a more pronounced, forest-like quality. Lu Mu was currently staring intently at her, his eyes practically glued to her, almost drooling. Even the other two students were amazed by her beauty.

Compared to the other students admitted to the Inner Academy, the number of students admitted to the Alchemy Department was rather pitiful. Besides Xiao Xuanyuan and Lu Mu, there were two others. One of them had slightly dark skin and was rather thin. His name was Han Li. The other was a girl who was quite good-looking and had an above-average appearance.

After Huo Rong finished his introduction, Lu Mu and the other two stepped forward and announced their names. When it was Xiao Xuanyuan's turn, he walked straight up and said with a smile, "If Fairy Hua has time, we can have a friendly competition on alchemy. I'd love to see it."

"Okay, sure." The Flower Fairy nodded, then turned to Huo Rong and said something before turning away to busy herself in the herb field. "That's just how she is, she's very devoted to the herb field. Let me tell you, with her alchemy skills, there are probably very few in the Alchemy Valley who can compare to her." Huo Rong said with a smile, then had someone arrange accommodations for everyone.

Watching the Flower Fairy's departing figure, Xiao Xuanyuan pondered for a moment. This woman was calm and composed. Faced with his provocation, she remained neither humble nor arrogant, neither angry nor flustered. She did indeed seem to have some skill.

"Hehe, kid, have you taken a fancy to her?" At this moment, the old man's words reached his ears at just the right time. Hearing the old man's frivolous teasing, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly and laughed, "If she is willing, I won't mind, hehe."

"I knew you had such wicked thoughts, you old rascal..." Inside the ring, Yao Lao rolled his eyes. "Back in the day, I was quite the dashing figure in the Central Continent. You've got my old style, kid..."

Ignoring the old apothecary's rambling, Xiao Xuanyuan and his companions arrived at a scenic spot halfway up a mountain. The disciple in charge said, "You will build a house in the Qingdong District; this will be your residence. Also, disciples of the Alchemy Department will be required to work in the herb fields for two hours each day. The rest of the time is free for cultivation and alchemy, which you can arrange as you see fit. However, since you are new here, you should familiarize yourselves with the Alchemy Valley first." With that, he took out items from his storage ring and distributed them to the four of them: a small booklet, several bottles of high-quality Qi Yuan Pills, and a book of a hundred herbs. After doing this, the disciple left.

"So much freedom?" Xiao Xuanyuan said in surprise. He opened the small handbook, which contained the things to pay attention to in the Medicine Refining Valley and the rules. He glanced at it briefly and then ignored it. He then opened the Hundred Herbs Compendium. As expected, it was a book that recorded many spiritual herbs. After flipping through it a few times, Xiao Xuanyuan saw some unfamiliar spiritual herbs. He was delighted. It seemed that this book was still of some use.

"Huh, what's this?" The old apothecary scanned the herb catalog with his soul perception and exclaimed in slight surprise. But after a moment, he said with great disdain, "They're all low-grade herbs. Nothing special." Hearing the old apothecary say this, Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes and replied, "It was given to me by the alchemy department, so give me some face, okay?"

"cut."

After the disciple left, Xiao Xuanyuan, along with Lu Mu and the others, entered the nearest bamboo grove and began constructing their temporary shelter. This wasn't difficult; they simply needed to cut enough bamboo with their longswords and gather some other materials.

"Sigh, I never thought that coming to this inner courtyard would mean having to do hard labor myself. It's unbelievable, and it's really tiring," Lu Mu complained as he chopped down bamboo and wood.

"Stop talking, it won't take long to build this." Xiao Xuanyuan replied, and quickly cut down enough bamboo and wood. It is said that the bamboo and wood planted here are all of the best quality, and their hardness is beyond question. Even Xiao Xuanyuan, who is a four-star Dou Ling, felt a little tired.

Glancing at the others, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed that the female student hadn't cut enough bamboo and was sweating profusely. He walked over and said with a smile, "Let me help you." With that, Xiao Xuanyuan cleaved a green bamboo in two with a single sword stroke.

"Thank you," Zhao Zhilan replied.

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Zhilan".

"It's a nice name."

"Senior brother, you're really strong! Those inner court disciples were all scared away by you." A hint of brilliance flashed in Zhao Zhilan's beautiful eyes.

"It's alright." Xiao Xuanyuan remained noncommittal. Soon, the two of them had cut enough building materials and returned to the mountainside with these items to begin construction.

Building the houses wasn't particularly difficult, but it was quite laborious. After an hour, four small bamboo and wooden houses stood side by side on the mountainside. Satisfied with their work, everyone went into the village to buy some daily necessities. To better care for the alchemy students, the academy had specially recruited a group of ordinary people with limited strength from outside. These people were specifically hired to do odd jobs for the alchemy department, essentially serving as servants. Therefore, the village was quite large and prosperous.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already evening. The sun had set and darkness was gradually falling. Xiao Xuanyuan returned to his room, ate some dry rations, and then sat down to meditate and cultivate. To avoid being disturbed, he had specially set up an array in his room to conceal his presence, so that anyone who tried to spy on him would be detected in advance.

When Xiao Xuanyuan opened his eyes, it was already early morning. He opened the door and went outside, finding Lu Mu there. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Xuanyuan began to wander around the valley, familiarizing himself with the area, and also helped out in the nearby medicinal herb fields. Soon it was noon, and he returned to his dwelling to meditate and rest. In the afternoon, Huo Rong specially sent someone to deliver an ancient book called "The Art of Alchemy," along with some precious pills. Xiao Xuanyuan accepted them all; it seemed that Elder Huo Rong valued him quite highly.

The afternoon was uneventful, giving Xiao Xuanyuan some free time. He went back and studied the "Alchemy Techniques" book, finding it to be a decent alchemy method and guide. It even contained some of Huo Rong's alchemy insights, making it somewhat useful. Aside from two hours working in the herb fields, he had free time throughout the day, allowing for quiet cultivation. This kind of cultivation life was either comfortable or monotonous, day after day. With nothing else to do, Xiao Xuanyuan began studying the use of his soul, refining and absorbing Zong Wuyai's vast soul energy.

During this time, Zhao Zhilan and the others would occasionally seek him out to discuss alchemy. However, with Xiao Xuanyuan's experience in alchemy, he was more than capable of being their teacher. It wasn't a discussion; he was simply burdening everyone. After a few such encounters, they became quite familiar with each other, and Xiao Xuanyuan grew impatient, spending all his time in his room. Finding it incredibly boring, he secretly let Zhao Zhilan in at night to seek his guidance. With repeated visits, their relationship deepened, and Zhao Zhilan began coming every night, only returning late at night, finding some enjoyment in it. In this way, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The Alchemy Valley's triennial alchemy competition then began.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter Forty-Two: A Bloodbath Triggered by a Woman

The Alchemy Valley holds a small competition every three months and a grand competition annually. All students who make it into the top ten receive rewards, especially those in the top three, whose rewards are the envy of all alchemists. This year is no exception; the rewards are quite generous. Each of the top ten will receive a fifth-grade Dou Yuan Pill, and the rewards for the top three are even more enticing.

That day, Xiao Xuanyuan got up early and went with Lu Mu and the others to the large square outside the back mountain. Usually, all the alchemist students could come here to practice their fighting skills or have a competition. Moreover, major events of the Alchemy Valley were usually held here.

Upon arriving at the plaza, Xiao Xuanyuan found several hundred people already gathered there, some in small groups, others as friends or brothers. He noticed that most of these people wore the distinctive white robes of alchemists, a unique symbol of alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. Many of them were alchemists of the second rank or higher, even the third rank. Xiao Xuanyuan saw several of them, including the Flower Fairy.

At this moment, the Flower Fairy was dressed in a white, tight-fitting medicinal robe, which perfectly showcased her graceful and alluring figure. The male students around her kept stealing glances at her, secretly swallowing their saliva, their eyes gleaming with desire. The Flower Fairy stood out like a crane among chickens; the girls around her paled in comparison, like green leaves setting off a red flower. She was exceptionally eye-catching, and it was impossible for Xiao Xuanyuan not to notice her.

As expected, she was the Flower Fairy of the Alchemy Valley. Her exceptional beauty had long been hailed as a goddess by everyone. A hint of amazement flashed across Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes. Even as a seasoned veteran who had seen countless beauties, he couldn't help but secretly applaud her upon seeing the Flower Fairy. If Xun'er's gentle and quiet beauty was as ethereal as a blue lotus, then the Flower Fairy before him was like a white lotus blooming in a lake—dignified, pure, and captivatingly beautiful.

"What a pure white lotus!" Xiao Xuanyuan sighed inwardly and walked straight toward her. But when he got closer, two or three groups of people were surrounding her, and Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't squeeze through.

"Go away, get out of here! Don't you know that Young Master Wang is talking to a fairy? What are you doing here, you toad trying to eat swan meat?" Just as he was about to squeeze in, a rather burly young man blocked his way and shoved Xiao Xuanyuan out of the way. Xiao Xuanyuan stumbled and almost fell flat on his face, which infuriated him.

Steadying himself, Xiao Xuanyuan stared coldly at the people in front of him and said in a cold voice, "This mysterious, worthless Young Master Wang and Young Master Zhang, does he think he's the Heavenly King himself in this Medicine Refining Valley?"

"Young Master Wang, you don't even know who he is? Haha... Are you tired of working in the Medicine Refining Valley? Or are you just fed up with it?" The burly young man who had pushed Xiao Xuanyuan earlier pointed at him and laughed loudly with several other young men beside him.

"Brother Xiao, that young master Wang's name is Wang Bo'ao. He and Zhang Baishan are considered the two geniuses of the Alchemy Valley. Not only is he extremely strong, having reached the Seven-Star Great Dou Master level, but his alchemy skills have also reached the peak of the Third Rank. He is currently very famous. We have just arrived here, so we must not offend these two." Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan was confused, Lu Mu whispered in his ear.

"Wang Bo'ao? What the hell? I don't know him. If I ever see him, I'll beat him to a pulp." Xiao Xuanyuan said with extreme disdain, and even extended his middle finger in a contemptuous gesture.

Those who enjoy watching a spectacle, seeing someone dare to provoke the two geniuses of the Alchemy Valley, immediately erupted in shouts and curses. Some cursed Xiao Xuanyuan for being ungrateful and courting death, while others cursed Wang Bo'ao for bullying others by relying on his fame and talent. Even so, most people were opportunistic and knew that Wang Bo'ao was not someone to be trifled with, so they all criticized Xiao Xuanyuan for being foolish and like an egg hitting a rock.

Hearing these remarks, Xiao Xuanyuan found them extremely amusing, and his anger grew even stronger. It seemed that it was the same everywhere; people were all opportunists who only relied on the strong. Even if the strong were already bullying them, they could only cower in fear. Hmph, only he dared to stand up for them in this kind of thing.

Sure enough, when the burly young man Yang Xiaobao saw Xiao Xuanyuan being extremely arrogant and giving them the middle finger in contempt, he was furious and kicked him.

"Fuck you, you've really got some nerve." Xiao Xuanyuan didn't back down either, stepping forward and kicking. Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and a figure flashed by. Yang Xiaobao had just lifted his foot when he was sent flying backward like a dead dog. After knocking down more than ten people, he collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious. The whole place fell silent.

At this moment, everyone in the square turned their attention to Xiao Xuanyuan, looking at him with surprise and astonishment. Although some people looked down on him and were not optimistic, many who had long disliked Wang Bo'ao and Zhang Baishan cast admiring glances at him and secretly gave Xiao Xuanyuan a thumbs up: Well done!

Seeing their Yang Xiaobao being knocked away by the opponent in one move, the remaining young people were unsettled. They looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with extreme fear and kept retreating as he slowly walked forward. Soon, Wang Bo'ao, Zhang Baishan and others, who had noticed the situation, came out and confronted Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Who are you? Why did you hurt my brother for no reason? Don't you know the rules of this Medicine Refining Valley?" The young man who spoke was about twenty years old. He was handsome and had a heroic air about him. A brightly colored sword was tied around his waist. He was quite strong and tall. He raised his chin and had an arrogant and disdainful look on his face.

"This man is Wang Bo'ao, and the one fanning himself is his friend, Zhang Baishan, one of the two prodigies of the Alchemy Valley!" Lu Mu stepped forward and carefully introduced him to Xiao Xuanyuan.

Beside Wang Bo'ao stood a young man, also wearing the robes of a third-grade alchemist, the two of them being roughly the same age. He possessed a refined and scholarly appearance, gently swaying a landscape-painted fan in his hand, exuding elegance. This was Zhang Baishan, the man Lu Mu had mentioned. He stepped forward and said calmly, "Injuring Brother Wang's men is disrespectful to us brothers. Today, we must show you our power and teach you the rules of the Alchemy Valley!" Although his words were gentle and smiling, everyone still sensed a chilling intent emanating from him.

"Is that so? Then I'd like to test your fighting skills against you two, how about that?" Xiao Xuanyuan was naturally unwilling to be outdone. He had originally come to meet the Flower Fairy and exchange pleasantries, but he hadn't expected these guys to be so ungrateful, daring to obstruct him and now even trying to teach him a lesson. Perfect, no more nonsense, he'd just take them down first. With that, Xiao Xuanyuan rolled up his sleeves, his surging fighting energy flowing through his body like a raging river. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and a battle was about to erupt.

At this moment, the two were flanking a young girl, who was staring at them in astonishment. Xiao Xuanyuan and the others immediately recognized her as the Flower Fairy, the number one goddess of the Alchemy Valley, whom Huo Rong had introduced them to on their first day there! The Flower Fairy was as captivating as ever; the medicinal robe she wore did not diminish her beauty, but rather added a touch of noble purity, making her extremely alluring. Not wanting the two sides to fight because of her, she stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Don't fight!"

Chapter Forty-Three: Transformation into a Dragon

"Don't make a move!" The Flower Fairy stepped forward, glancing helplessly at Zhang Baishan and Wang Bo'ao before finally fixing her gaze on Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Oh?" Xiao Xuanyuan curled his lips, stepped forward, rolled his eyes at her, and said, "Flower Fairy, you really are the main character of the whole event. Even when I wanted to meet you, I was blocked by these annoying guys."

"You!" Wang Bo'ao was instantly enraged, his eyes blazing with fury. If it weren't for the Flower Fairy stopping him, he would have attacked immediately. "If you're a man, you should always hide behind women, lest people laugh at you for being a coward!"

"Haha, Brother Wang is absolutely right. What kind of future can a man who hides behind a woman have?" Zhang Baishan chimed in at the opportune moment, his words perfectly matching Wang Bo'ao's, as if they wanted to infuriate Xiao Xuanyuan to death.

Xiao Xuanyuan saw through their trick immediately. They were deliberately trying to provoke him so they could deal with him more easily. However, he wasn't afraid. He reached out and pulled the Flower Fairy behind him. Facing the two of them, Xiao Xuanyuan chuckled coldly, "Just the two of you? I can kill you both easily."

"Oh, and you dogs too!" Xiao Xuanyuan's gaze swept over the dozen or so young men standing behind Wang Bo and Zhang Baishan, who were ready to pounce at any moment. "I suppose you bastards are his henchmen. I'm telling you right now, if you want to fight, you can fight anytime. I'm ready!"

"What an arrogant brat!" A furious shout rang out, and a figure shot over in the blink of an eye. A cold light flashed past, and a sword blade pointed straight at Xiao Xuanyuan's throat.

"Hmph!" Xiao Xuanyuan snorted coldly, his figure advancing straight ahead amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd. Wild fire battle qi instantly gathered in his palm, and he slapped it down.

Bang! In the blink of an eye, just as the sword was thrusting towards him, Xiao Xuanyuan's palm met it, striking the sword directly with his palm.

After a fierce clash of energies, Xiao Xuanyuan slapped the sword containing powerful energy away with a single palm strike. Wang Bo'ao was also thrown off balance by the sword in his hand. The immense force was transmitted through the sword, and his burly figure flew out. His battle aura was shattered, and the sword was damaged. Wang Bo'ao couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. After knocking down several people, he lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Once he made his move, he shocked everyone, especially Zhang Baishan and his followers. But Xiao Xuanyuan had no intention of stopping. After striking Wang Bo'ao with a single palm strike, causing him to vomit blood, he swiftly followed, rushing straight at Zhang Baishan. Zhang Baishan's expression changed drastically. He unfurled a landscape painting in his hand, and more than ten thumb-length, umbrella-shaped spikes of battle qi shot out.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the surrounding crowd had already spread out, leaving a wide space. With his eyes slightly narrowed, Xiao Xuanyuan's figure was temporarily blocked. He flicked his palm forward, and the fierce fighting spirit transformed into a defensive energy fire wall. The spikes that hit the fire wall turned into white smoke with a hiss and dissipated.

Having witnessed Wang Bo'ao's miserable state, Zhang Baishan no longer dared to underestimate the handsome young man before him. He shouted to his stunned subordinates, "All of you, attack! Don't hold back!" The men immediately stepped forward tremblingly, took out their weapons from their storage rings, but hesitated to engage in battle.

Xiao Xuanyuan withdrew his battle qi fire wall, looked at these people with a cold smile, and said, "Even if you all come at me together, you are no match for me. Killing you is as easy as killing an ant!" As he spoke, a raging silver flame ignited in his eyes, his medicinal robes fluttered without wind, his long hair flowed, and a silver dragon appeared above his head, its dragon eyes glaring angrily at the people in front of him.

"A dragon? It's a dragon! An ancient Void Dragon! My God..." Among the onlookers, there were naturally knowledgeable people who instantly recognized that the illusory image outside Xiao Xuanyuan's body was a dragon. However, calling it an ancient Void Dragon was a bit of a stretch. This dragon was formed after Long Yan completely assimilated with him, becoming one with him entirely. In other words, one could say he was Long Yan, or one could say he was Long Yan's heart: the Silver Dragon!

Hearing the people around him say that he was a member of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, Xiao Xuanyuan neither confirmed nor denied it, which was taken as an admission. Since he could use this identity to intimidate these people, why not use it?

“The Ancient Void Dragon, it’s incredibly mysterious. How could it possibly appear here?” a young man from a prominent family in the Central Continent murmured.

"Of the three great magical beast families, the Ancient Void Dragon has always been ranked first in strength, hiding in the void and rarely seen. It is said to be very mysterious. Today, we are fortunate enough to see the legendary Ancient Void Dragon!" said a man from the crowd who was extremely handsome with fair skin and delicate features. However, his voice was very soft and gentle, unlike a man's.

"Chen Gao, you still recognize the Ancient Void Dragon? Where did you find out?" Another handsome young man next to him asked in surprise. He and Chen Gao had passed the alchemy department's assessment together and came to this Alchemy Valley, so they were old acquaintances.

"It's a long story, and I only learned about it by chance from a book. It's nothing..." While the two were talking, Xiao Xuanyuan made his move. Under pressure from Zhang Baishan, the dozen or so young people picked up their weapons and gritted their teeth to attack. In an instant, colorful fighting techniques appeared on the field and attacked Xiao Xuanyuan.

Xiao Xuanyuan didn't care about any of that. He made a hand seal, and the surrounding battle qi frantically gathered. His figure instantly rose higher and hovered in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, he merged with the divine dragon in a burst of silver light, and the ethereal silver divine dragon immediately solidified.

"The Ancient Void Dragon! It really is the Ancient Void Dragon!" A shocked exclamation rang out from the crowd, followed by a commotion. Xiao Xuanyuan, transformed into a silver dragon, soared into the air, sweeping his tail towards the young people who were already pale-faced, devoid of fighting spirit, and trembling with fear.

Bang bang bang… Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, more than a dozen young people were sent flying backward by a single swipe of the silver dragon's tail, spitting blood. Xiao Xuanyuan, transformed into the silver dragon, spoke in human language, addressing Zhang Baishan, who had long lost his former elegant demeanor with the fan in his hand: "Since you want to play, then I'll play with you!" With that, the silver dragon leaped over, one of its claws grabbing at Zhang Baishan.

Zhang Baishan had no intention of sitting idly by and being killed by a single claw. He frantically poured his battle qi into the landscape fan, gritted his teeth, and took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring, pouring them out and swallowing them in one gulp. This pill was called the Bone-Activating Pill, a high-grade fifth-rank pill. Its origin was unknown; after consumption, it could unleash the body's potential, unleashing strength twice its original amount—truly formidable. However, its drawback was that it would prevent any increase in battle qi for about six months after consumption, leaving the user stagnant.

After taking the Bone-Inducing Pill, Zhang Baishan's face contorted with bulging veins and a ferocious expression. The landscape fan in his hand emitted an extremely dazzling burst of light. With the infusion of fierce battle qi, the landscape fan grew larger and larger, and the landscape painted on it became huge and lifelike, as if the water followed the mountains and the grass and trees were swaying in the wind. A huge pressure came over him.

With a hissing sound, the moment the Mountain and Water Fan and the Dragon Claw touched, the air seemed to freeze. Instantly, intense sparks flew and powerful energies clashed, creating a huge crater in the ground. The aftershocks of energy swept in all directions, causing the surrounding crowd to involuntarily retreat and use their battle qi to protect themselves.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter Forty-Four: The Pressure of a Dou Zong Powerhouse

"The brilliance of fireflies dares to compete with the moon's radiance, truly ungrateful!" The silver dragon roared, its powerful claws pressing down once more. The landscape fan shimmered with light, continuously emitting a piercingly intense glow to resist the dragon's claws.

After a brief stalemate, Zhang Baishan's eyes turned bloodshot, his tiger's mouth was torn, and blood seeped from his nose, mouth, and ears. The violent effects of the Bone-Strengthening Pill raged through his body, and he was unable to fully absorb it for the time being. He also used a power that exceeded his own strength, and his body was on the verge of collapse.

Generally, alchemists prioritize improving their alchemy skills, with physical combat strength being secondary. Therefore, their physical resilience isn't particularly strong, and their power largely relies on elixirs, resulting in a somewhat superficial strength. Xiao Xuanyuan, however, is different. His strength isn't solely dependent on elixirs. Through extreme physical training and refinement, his physical attributes far surpass those of cultivators who specialize in physical cultivation. And let's not forget, he also has another identity: an alchemist! Whenever his body is injured, he can quickly recover by taking elixirs. With this cycle repeating endlessly, and with the aid of these free elixirs, it's hard for his physical strength not to be formidable!

A roar! Amidst the silver dragon's howl, the shimmering landscape paintings let out a mournful cry, all being torn to shreds by the dragon's claws. The landscape fan, naturally, lost its color and shrunk back to its original form. Without the fan's protection, Zhang Baishan was directly struck by the immense force, coughing up blood. Exposed to the dragon's claws, he was immediately attacked. The massive dragon claw slammed him away, shattering the protective aura shield around his body. He was thrown into the air, coughing up two more mouthfuls of blood, smashing a crater in the ground. His fate was unknown.

The silver dragon roared wildly, its roar shaking the heavens, and a dragon's might swept across the entire area, shocking everyone in all directions.

"The Ancient Void Dragon... This is the power of the Ancient Void Dragon!" Someone murmured in shock, and everyone present changed color.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Medicine Refining Valley?" Just then, an extremely majestic old voice resounded throughout the entire square. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, which grew closer and closer. Soon after, several streaks of light of various colors flew over and landed on the high platform in front of the square.

As the light faded, three old men, a handsome young man, and a stunningly beautiful woman appeared. The one speaking was the middle old man with white eyebrows and silver hair, whose face was extremely dignified and solemn; he appeared to be the Valley Master. On either side of him, Xiao Xuanyuan recognized one of the old men—the same Huo Rong, the old man who had guided him to the Alchemy Valley!

"Greetings, Valley Master and esteemed elders!" Upon seeing the five individuals appear, the numerous students in the plaza bowed and saluted the platform. Xiao Xuanyuan also recognized their identities; his silver dragon descended to the ground, transformed into human form, and also bowed to the platform.

At this time, guards naturally came out one after another to check on the condition of the injured students. When Huo Rong saw the silver dragon transform into Xiao Xuanyuan, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He leaned close to the old man who had spoken and whispered something in his ear.

"Zhang Baishan has an unusual relationship with the Valley Master. This guy injured both Zhang Baishan and Wang Bo'ao; he's definitely finished!" Some seasoned students whispered among themselves, their voices reaching Xiao Xuanyuan's ears. He frowned slightly. If that were the case, it might be detrimental to him; he wondered what kind of punishment he would receive!

After Huo Rong finished speaking, guards naturally went up to the stage to report what had happened.

"Are you Xiao Xuanyuan?" The Valley Master, named Zhang Cangwu, didn't even glance at Zhang Baishan and Wang Bo'ao. His gaze, filled with a sense of oppression, was fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan like a sharp arrow. Xiao Xuanyuan remained unmoved, meeting Zhang Cangwu's gaze without fear. Zhang Cangwu's gaze seemed to pierce his eyes, causing them considerable pain, and an oppressive aura descended upon him.

“Exactly!” Facing the mysterious Valley Master he had just met, Xiao Xuanyuan showed no weakness. He activated his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye, and the discomfort immediately lessened, returning him to normal in a moment. At the same time, he activated the Burning Technique within his body, unleashing the power of the strange fire that instantly resisted and dissipated the descending pressure. He had realized that this Valley Master Zhang Cangwu's strength was at least at the Dou Zong level.
