The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

After receiving the large, primitive package made of tree leaves and vines, filled with hundreds of precious medicinal herbs that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but ask.

“Hmm, you did well,” Chen Ya reached out and patted his shoulder, her eyes carrying a dangerous glint. “However, I need you to agree to one condition.”

"What are your conditions? Please state them. If I can't meet them, then don't make things difficult for me. Also, could you please spit out all the medicinal herbs in your storage ring? I don't even want to talk to you anymore."

Seeing that the other party had gone back on their word, Xiao Xuanyuan was very unhappy. He reached out his hand to ask for the herbs. He had originally thought about whether he should leave some herbs for her, since the two of them had teamed up to climb the tower together and she had helped him a lot. But now Xiao Xuanyuan decided that it was better not to leave her any.

"Hehehe," Chen Ya chuckled upon hearing those impolite words. "Do you know who you're dealing with? If I wanted to kill you, I could do it with a mere wave of my hand."

"So, you're planning to burn bridges after you've served your purpose? If that's the case, then I won't return the volcanic rock flame to you." Xiao Xuanyuan's voice turned cold, and he waved his hand, "Xuebao, return to your original form."

Wang Wang!

With a roar, the lion-like Xuebao instantly transformed into a perfectly round, snow-white pill with half-golden patterns. Xiao Xuanyuan caught it in his hand and put it into his storage ring. At the same time, a surging, fiery aura emanated from his body. In each of his hands, a ball of azure flame, like a tornado, appeared, with an azure dragon swimming on it. In his other hand, a dark red volcanic rock flame, shaped like a volcano, appeared.

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan, who could turn on her so easily, preparing to attack, Chen Ya's smile instantly turned sinister. She wasn't afraid of him fighting her, nor was she afraid of him running away. However, no matter what, Xiao Xuanyuan was her first man. If she were to hurt or kill him, it wouldn't do her much good, because Chen Ya had, to some extent, accepted him. Perhaps he could achieve great things in the future, with limitless potential.

Chen Ya's expression shifted uncertainly, her thoughts swirling, and for a moment she hesitated whether to take action.

"I forgot to tell you, when your consciousness was invaded by the Nightmare Queen, I planted a Xuanmo Restriction Soul Contract within you. With just a thought, I can activate it and tear your soul apart! You can try it if you don't believe me!"

As he spoke, a faint blue light appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes. Recently, his soul power had increased by the same amount due to his advancement in strength, and he was now at the peak of the low-level Heaven Realm.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ya's expression changed drastically, and she unconsciously revealed some of her terrifying aura at the peak of the Dou Zun level. The surrounding environment swayed without wind, and the grass and trees were bent over by this aura.

After examining herself, Chen Ya finally discovered a barely noticeable, hazy white ball of light hidden within her soul. This ball of light led to a transparent umbilical cord, firmly connecting her to the core of her soul.

"It seems you've already made thorough preparations. Such a young age, yet such deep cunning! You're quite remarkable!" Upon sensing this ball of soul light, Chen Ya understood that she had already lost the right to make a move.

"This is a soul peace pact. As long as you don't have any thoughts of harming me, it will remain silent. Otherwise, it will explode inside your soul and completely tear it apart."

Having leverage over the other party, Xiao Xuanyuan felt more confident and spoke with much more force.

"Hmph, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're a fine piece of material." Upon hearing about the harmful effects, Chen Ya couldn't help but give Xiao Xuanyuan an appreciative look. "Now that you have a hindrance, I will let you go and leave naturally. Now, fulfill your promise and return the volcanic stone flame to me."

"Heh," Xiao Xuanyuan sneered, looking at Chen Ya with the eyes of a fool, "I actually wanted to do that just now, but your behavior really disgusted me. You can leave now, we're even."

"You're asking for death!" Chen Ya was furious and raised her hand to strike Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Activate the Mystic Demon Restriction!"

With a soft shout from Xiao Xuanyuan's heart, Chen Ya's raised hand fell limply. She felt a tearing pain in her mind, as if her soul was being cut by a sharp knife. This extreme pain from the inside out was even a thousand times, ten thousand times more intense than physical torture.

"Stop! Stop! I'm leaving."

Chen Ya immediately backed down. Although she was confident that she could endure the pain and kill Xiao Xuanyuan, this was not the result she wanted. She couldn't bring herself to actually kill Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Hmph, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Xiao Xuanyuan did not make a big fuss about returning to the Medicine Refining Valley. Instead, he handled it discreetly. First, he went to the market in the Medicine Refining Valley and bought five or six high-grade storage rings with extremely large storage capacity to store all the medicinal materials he had collected from the eighth level of the Divine Medicine Pavilion. Then, he prepared to check out his residence.

Bamboo's dwelling was the same as before, but after years of wind and rain, it had become much older and looked like a dilapidated thatched hut from a distance. Compared with the new and unique courtyards and mansions around it, it seemed much more run-down.

Upon entering the courtyard, there was no cobweb-covered, dust-covered, or messy scene as expected. Although the courtyard was somewhat old and dilapidated, it was still very clean and tidy.

"This is really strange. Who did this to me?"

Pushing open the dilapidated courtyard gate, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped inside with a puzzled look. After looking around, he reached out and opened the door to the room. The room was the same; apart from a slightly musty smell, everything was neat and tidy, as if someone lived there every day.

Without much thought, Xiao Xuanyuan activated the defensive and spying array he had set up earlier, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate. In the month and a half since entering the Wild Continent of the Eighth World, apart from digging for medicinal herbs and refining medicine, Xiao Xuanyuan had hardly rested, let alone cultivated. As a result, his studies had been neglected. Now that he had left the Divine Medicine Pavilion, he had to take advantage of this time to consolidate his strength and solidify his foundation.

Otherwise, the leap from the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm to the Nine-Star Dou Wang realm in one go would be a huge leap in realms, and the reason why he has been so restless and impatient during this period is because of the rapid advancement.

Cultivation is always tedious and boring, making people forget the passage of time. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. When Xiao Xuanyuan opened his eyes from cultivation, a very familiar voice, with a hint of amusement and a disrespectful tone, rang in his mind, "Xiao Xuanyuan, you brat, long time no see!"

Chapter 140 Even the Old Master Yao is afraid of death (Master-Disciple relationship reaches its perfect conclusion)

"Old Medicine Master!"

Hearing the aged yet powerful voice in his mind, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but show a hint of joy. He touched the ring with his fingers and said, "It's been a long time. Elder Yao, please take it off the ring so we can have a chat."

A loud laugh rang out, and the old man of medicine floated out like a ghost. He stroked his long, pale beard, his face all smiles. But as soon as he came out, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes wide with shock and exaggeration. "You brat, you're not simple at all! I haven't seen you for a while, and your strength has improved so rapidly. It really surprises me!"

The old apothecary circled around Xiao Xuanyuan's head, marveling at his progress with a look of satisfaction that the young man was teachable.

"Stop wandering around, it's making me dizzy." Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes. "Elder Yao, my strength has been progressing too fast lately, and there are some things I don't understand. Could you please explain them to me?"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary was almost speechless with astonishment. He shifted his position, looking Xiao Xuanyuan up and down, his eyes wide, as if trying to discern something special about him. "Wait a minute, brat, how did you suddenly change your ways? You weren't like this before!"

"Then what am I? Elder Yao, are you kidding me?" Xiao Xuanyuan was somewhat confused.

"Ahem," the old doctor coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassing behavior. He pretended to be serious and said, "You used to be very arrogant. You always acted like you were the best in the world. Well, you were disrespectful to your elders and liked to shout and yell. That's all I can say for now."

"Hmm? Elder Yao, then I really thank you." Xiao Xuanyuan clasped his hands together, cupped them to him, and made a gesture of gratitude and filial piety, his attitude extremely respectful. "If it weren't for Elder Yao's help in the past, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will never forget your great kindness. In the future, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely help Elder Yao to rebuild his body."

"Huh? Really? When did you become so serious?" This time, the old apothecary was even more skeptical, looking at Xiao Xuanyuan with puzzled confusion in his eyes.

"Sigh, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. You wouldn't believe me anyway," Xiao Xuanyuan sighed, retracting his posture, which surprised Yao Lao. However, Xiao Xuanyuan changed the subject, "Yao Lao, what were you doing when you woke up earlier? Three days ago, I was about to fight with that crazy woman. You know, that woman is extremely powerful, strong enough to crush me with one finger. But what did you do? Faced with such a crisis, you pretended to be clueless, not uttering a sound from inside the ring."

"Hehe, well, hehe, he hasn't woken up yet," the old doctor said awkwardly, reaching out his hand and then putting it down repeatedly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Three days ago, after Xiao Xuanyuan passed through the void black hole and left the Divine Medicine Pavilion space, Yao Lao could actually use his soul perception to spy on the outside movements. However, as soon as he revealed a trace of his soul perception, he caught the extremely terrifying aura outside, and Yao Lao hesitated for a moment.

Going out wasn't an option either. After all, the person outside was far too powerful, having reached the peak of his former strength as a Dou Zun. If he went out, in his current soul state, he would be instantly killed. But if he didn't go out, where would his former peak Dou Zun reputation go? After much deliberation, Yao Lao finally gave in. Since the other party hadn't noticed him yet, he might as well pretend he didn't see him and let things take their course.

In truth, he felt helpless. It wasn't that he didn't care about his disciple; it was just that the other party was too strong, and he was powerless to help. Even if he went out, he would only be offering himself up for death.

After much deliberation, he decided that it was better to die than to die himself. As long as he was alive, he could always find his disciple. Therefore, he remained hidden in the ring space, not revealing a trace of his aura. Only three days later, when Xiao Xuanyuan woke up, did he dare to cautiously release a trace of his soul perception to probe for any sounds outside.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuanyuan, who had just woken up, caught him red-handed.

"You old codger, just admit it, why are you acting all high and mighty? Honestly!" Xiao Xuanyuan gave him a disdainful look and gave him the middle finger, letting him figure it out for himself, which made Yao Lao's face turn red and white with anger.

Unable to suppress his pride and anger as a powerful figure, he raised a hand, about to slap Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Master Yao, please don't act rashly!"

Upon seeing Yao Lao's actions, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately became alert. He raised his hand, and six flames shot out, including five different kinds of fire and one purple fire, surrounding his body.

"Wow, you're something else, kid!" Yao Lao immediately rushed over excitedly like a child, his eyes gleaming with the greed of a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb, almost drooling.

"I must say, you're quite something, kid. You're worthy of being my disciple. You haven't tarnished my reputation as the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent." The old alchemist stared intently at the various colorful strange flames, his face full of interest.

"What did you think? I always said you wouldn't lose out by taking me as your disciple, now you believe me, right?" Xiao Xuanyuan patted his chest, looking very confident.

"Your luck is truly heaven-defying, huh? Hehe, not bad, not bad at all." Boss Yao laughed as he came back to his senses.

"I wonder which strange flame you're planning to give your master? Hehe, it seems that the black Six Paths Reincarnation Flame that can transform into a fire spirit girl is quite good. Tsk tsk, it can not only serve this old man, but also..." The old man became more and more lewd as he spoke, finally angering Xiao Xuanyuan, who gave him a big "Get lost" sign.

After the master and disciple had finished their banter, the old doctor finally put away the smile on his face, which was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and nodded with satisfaction and seriousness. "Disciple, your Burning Technique has now been promoted to the middle level of the Earth Rank, and your true strength has reached the peak level of the Nine-Star Dou King. You have not let your master down at all."

"Yes, without Elder Yao, I wouldn't be who I am today. I will always remember this kindness." Xiao Xuanyuan clenched his right fist and patted his chest.

"Yes, I also believe you are a grateful person," Yao Lao stroked his beard, feeling increasingly gratified. His heart, which had been wounded by his disciple's betrayal, was now reassured.

"You have indeed done a good job and been outstanding along the way. Even when facing enemies that I could not handle, you were able to deal with them calmly and overcome difficulties. It can be said that even that kid named Xiao Yan, whom I had high hopes for, did not do what you have done."

The old doctor couldn't help but praise him a few more times, which showed that he was in a very good mood, but then he changed the subject with a "however".

"But what?"

"You are still young. The Dou Qi Continent is vast, and there are many people stronger than you. It's best to remain calm and composed. Don't be too hasty or frivolous in your cultivation, lest you suffer losses."

With a serious expression, the old doctor began to impart his experience.

---Aside---

This concludes the explanation for the relationship between the male protagonist and Yao Lao that readers had in the early stages. In fact, Yao Lao is a strong person with the dignity of a strong person, but Xiao Xuanyuan looks only about ten years old. It is impossible for him to kill Xiao Xuanyuan with a single palm strike. After all, Yao Lao is not the kind of strong person who would rely on his age to bully others and would not be able to put aside his dignity to beat such a young junior.

Chapter 141 He was nicknamed "Housewife Killer," "Scapegoat Hero," and "Strongest Deserter."

"As someone who's been through it, what I want to teach you is that cultivation must be done step by step. You can't be too hasty, otherwise you'll easily go astray, destroying your foundation and wasting all your previous efforts. It will also affect your future cultivation and improvement of strength."

The old apothecary seemed to have completely accepted Xiao Xuanyuan and treated him as his personal disciple. He wanted to impart all his rich experience to him, but Xiao Xuanyuan could not understand it all in a short time and could only patiently listen to his explanation.

Sometimes, when he encountered something he didn't understand or had doubts about, or something that had been bothering him for a long time, he would ask Master Yao for advice, hoping to get a good and correct answer. This would be a great help to improve his skills in the future.

Thus, one shared all his knowledge, patiently explaining everything, while the other listened attentively, never tiring of the lessons, and diligently learned.

The day passed slowly as the two spent time together, and soon night fell.

After such a long explanation, Yao Lao was also parched, his eyes were seeing stars, and he was dizzy. Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan suggested that Yao Lao go back to the ring to rest first, and teach him again when he had time after he had recovered a bit.

Hearing that Xiao Xuanyuan now respected his teacher so much, Yao Lao was extremely gratified. He burst into laughter and disappeared into the ring as a wisp of smoke.

"I've learned a lot today. All my previous doubts and questions about the promotion have become clear and understandable. I believe that after this instruction, my strength has been firmly established." After a moment of thought, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction.

He was hungry and was about to get something to eat when he saw a familiar figure coming towards him. "It's you? What brings you here?"

"Brother Xuanyuan, you're back!"

The other person was stunned for a moment, then reacted and exclaimed in surprise. Immediately afterwards, a graceful and alluring body rushed over and into Xiao Xuanyuan's arms, her frost-white arms tightly embracing his waist.

"Yes, I'm back!" Although it had been a long time since they last met and there was a slight awkwardness, when that familiar fragrance wafted into his nostrils, Xiao Xuanyuan naturally turned around and hugged the other person tightly, as if he wanted to crush the other person into his body.

Feeling his strong, powerful arms and the reassuring warmth of his chest, Zhao Zhilan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. After waiting for so long, he had finally returned! Her wait had not been in vain!

After a long tender moment, Xiao Xuanyuan inquired about the outside world. After questioning, he finally learned how much time had passed outside since he entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion. A full year and half a month had passed since he entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion. After such a long time without any news of him, the genius alchemists of the Alchemy Valley had already spread the word that he had died in the Void Realm space of the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

If it weren't for the fact that each alchemist had a wisp of their soul power extracted before entering to create a soul jade tablet, and that the rumors were so powerful, almost everyone would have thought he was truly dead. Later, his master, Nangong Wan, came forward to refute the rumors, and Xiao Xuanyuan's natal jade tablet was not broken, which finally relieved Zhao Zhilan and the others who cared about him.

At the same time, this has seriously aroused the intense attention of the entire Alchemy Valley towards Xiao Xuanyuan, resulting in a great deal of rumors about Xiao Xuanyuan in the Alchemy Valley, and all the news about him in the past has been dug up.

When Canaan Academy was selecting exceptionally talented prodigies in Wutan City, he stood out, leading the Xiao family through rigorous selection processes to become one of the most outstanding students. But that wasn't all; Xiao Xuanyuan, barely enrolled, requested leave for two years. During this time, he even sparred with his mentor, holding his own for ten moves and seemingly even narrowly winning by one move, thus taking advantage of his mentor's advances.

These rumors became more and more outrageous and explosive as they spread, it was simply outrageous beyond belief, outrageous to the extreme!

Finally, he was given the nicknames "Housewife Killer" and "The Strongest Deserter"!

Don't think that's the end of the story. All the scandals of the Xiao family in Wutan City in the past have been secretly dug up by some people. They said that the most useless member of the Xiao family was the weakest among the younger generation. Even the former number one genius of the Xiao family had him completely under his thumb. But later, I don't know if this kid was kicked in the head by a donkey or slammed in a door, but he actually publicly challenged Xiao Yan and miraculously won!

Not only that, but afterwards, this kid had an incredible stroke of luck, catching the eye of a powerful, reclusive alchemist. His strength increased rapidly day and night, and he even stood up for the former prodigy Xiao Yan, challenging Nalan Yanran, the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Upon hearing this, the many alchemists in the Alchemy Valley couldn't help but look at Xiao Xuanyuan as if he were a fool. What was wrong with him? What string in his brain had gone wrong? He was taking on other people's problems. He was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water and a lazy lion that wasn't afraid of fleas!

But that's not all. After returning from the Monster Mountain Range more than a year later, the fearless young hero Xiao's strength has increased by leaps and bounds. He also destroyed the two major forces that had been suppressing the Xiao family in Wutan City, the Jialie family and the Aoba family. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!

The alchemists who heard the news had to admit that this guy was really brave! He also gained another nickname: "The Scapegoat Hero"!

Later, it was said that Xiao Xuanyuan shone brightly in Jiama Holy City, the capital of the Jiama Empire, and won the national championship of the Alchemist Conference. After arriving at the outer academy of Canaan Academy, he directly participated in the triennial competition to enter the inner academy. He rose all the way up, defeated his opponents one after another, and won the title of the strongest student ranked first in the outer academy!
