The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Upon seeing the person in question, Lu Mu immediately abandoned the crowd around him who were desperately trying to squeeze in and peek into the courtyard on tiptoe. He scurried back, intending to say a few words to Xiao Xuanyuan to get closer to him, but upon hearing that almost idiotic question, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation, his exaggerated expression and eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

“Yes, Brother Xuanyuan, people could smell the faint medicinal fragrance from ten miles away. Now, many people in the entire Alchemy Valley know about it.” Zhao Zhilan’s eyes revealed a strange light, and she couldn’t help but feel proud of her man. He was indeed the man she had chosen.

"Oh. That was my oversight. I didn't expect that a high-grade sixth-rank pill could attract such a celestial phenomenon. Luckily, I didn't refine any seventh-rank pills." After a moment's thought, Xiao Xuanyuan understood. So that's why.

Upon hearing that he was preparing to refine a seventh-grade pill, everyone present was as if struck by lightning, frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

"Big brother, what else do you want to refine?" Upon hearing this, Lu Mu was stunned and stammered, unable to speak coherently.

"I told you I was originally planning to refine a seventh-grade pill, are you out of your mind?" Xiao Xuanyuan chuckled and punched Lu Mu in the chest.

"A seventh-grade pill!" Lu Mu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he unconsciously swallowed hard. "Boss, you're not kidding me, are you?!"

"Haha, look how scared you are, you're completely out of your mind. When has your older brother ever lied to you? Really." Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan laughed even louder and punched the guy again. Zhao Zhilan, who was standing next to him, was petrified after receiving a positive answer.

She had longed for that figure for countless days and nights, her soul yearning for him. Even in the waking moments of the night, she seemed to vaguely see him, his face beaming with smiles, gently saying, "Fairy, you've worked so hard. I'm back. I've come back to see you and our son."

When that seemingly lonely figure stood alone in the corner, exuding a sense of desolation, the beautiful figure that Xiao Xuanyuan had just recognized came back to her senses. Her haggard and lonely eyes seemed to overflow with countless colorful hues after seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's smile.

"Junior Brother Xiao, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Chapter 145 The Child of Astonishment, the Strongest Medicine King

"Is that the housewife killer who refined a sixth-grade pill and caused a celestial phenomenon?!" After Xiao Xuanyuan appeared, some busybodies asked the people next to them.

"It should be good. The figure does look like Xiao Xuanyuan, the genius alchemist who once defeated the Twin Immortals. Tsk tsk, housewife killer, strongest deserter, scapegoat hero, any of his nicknames are big names," said a young alchemist who had the honor of competing with Xiao Xuanyuan on the alchemy field a year ago. He had met Xiao Xuanyuan a few times and still had some impression of him.

"Hehe, being the scapegoat isn't easy. It offends the most powerful sect in the terrifying Gama Empire. But for this kid to dare to challenge us when he was only at the third stage of Dou Qi, he certainly has guts!"

The courtyard was surrounded by a dense crowd of onlookers. Most of them were alchemists from the Alchemy Valley, but there were also some students from the inner academy and some ordinary people who had been specially recruited to do odd jobs. Over time, many of these ordinary people had developed some ability to try and distinguish alchemy techniques.

Take a break!

"Look, who's coming?" Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention away from Xiao Xuanyuan and towards several streaks of light flying swiftly in the sky, some several dozen feet high.

"It's the Valley Master and the four elders. Only they can transform their battle qi into wings and fly through the air." Naturally, someone recognized the newcomers at a glance.

In almost half a breath, the five figures arrived in front of them and landed in the small courtyard. The small courtyard that Xiao Xuanyuan had built was not very big to begin with, and now it seemed even more crowded.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the surrounding crowd bowed and greeted them, saying, "Greetings, Valley Master and the four elders!"

The five people simply nodded slightly and went straight to Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Greetings, Master; greetings, Valley Master; greetings, Elders." Led by Xiao Xuanyuan, Zhao Zhilan's friends all bowed and clasped their hands in greeting to show their respect.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. It's been a year already. To be able to stay in the Divine Medicine Pavilion's virtual space for a full year without being squeezed out, you are truly the first person I've seen in all these years." Zhang Cangwu stroked his long white beard and couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Xiao Xuanyuan. He asked curiously, "I wonder if you have truly entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion and reached which level?"

Of course, some of the people who accompanied Xiao Xuanyuan saw him openly barging into the Divine Medicine Pavilion. After returning, he was naturally summoned by the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu and others. Now he is asking a question he already knows the answer to.

"I was fortunate enough to reach the fifth floor." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Only the fifth level? I remember you, Junior Sister Nangong, also reached the fourth level, right?" Zhang Cangwu looked at Nangong Wan behind him. Here, Nangong Wan had just taken the position of elder two years ago.

“Exactly!” Nangong Wan replied respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Those who overheard this conversation were immediately unsettled, whispering and discussing among themselves.

“It seems you have quite the talent, young man. You’ve even surpassed the Fifth Elder in advancing one level,” Zhang Cangwu said, taking a fresh look at the handsome young man before him. “Hmm, your strength is also considerable. In just one year, you’ve broken through from Dou Ling to Dou Wang.”

"What?! He actually broke into the Divine Medicine Pavilion! This kid is so weird!"

"This is even better than the Fifth Elder's achievement at the fourth level. The Fifth Elder was able to become an elder because his cultivation level soared in just a few years after he came out of the fourth level of the Divine Medicine Pavilion."

"Doesn't that mean this kid will become the fifth elder of the Alchemy Valley in less than two years?" someone exclaimed.

"That's nothing. In just one year, he advanced from Dou Ling to Dou Wang. Such a cultivation speed is terrifying!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd exclaimed in amazement.

"Strength at the Battle King level, and a sixth-grade alchemist, is this guy even human?!"

"What a pervert! Absolutely terrifying!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Zhang Cangwu's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, marveling at the situation. If this boy were allowed to continue growing, he would definitely be able to break through to the Douhuang level in three to five years. At this moment, Zhang Cangwu made a sudden decision regarding his sixth-grade alchemist status.

"Was this strange phenomenon caused by your refining of a sixth-grade pill?!" Before making a decision, Zhang Cangwu still wanted to confirm it in person.

"Yes, I originally intended to refine seventh-grade pills, but I'm just using sixth-grade pills to play around and see my true skill level." Xiao Xuanyuan spoke boastfully, his face indifferent, seemingly unaware that his words would cause a great stir.

"Holy crap! Sixth-grade pills are just something to refine for fun?!"

"This is just too outrageous!"

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. Their expressions were agitated, their faces flushed red as if burning embers, and they were panting heavily. Several of the more agitated second-grade alchemists even fainted from anger. "You only use sixth-grade pills for fun? What about us second and third-grade alchemists? Trash, garbage!" they thought. One of them, overwhelmed by resentment, fainted from rage.

Not only were the people around him excited, but even Zhang Cangwu and the four elders were breathless and almost fainted on the spot. Zhang Cangwu asked breathlessly, "Are you sure you can refine a seventh-grade pill?!" At this moment, even he himself did not know that his voice was trembling, which showed his wonderful emotions.

The others looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with shock, especially the Second Elder, Huo Rong. It could be said that he was the one who introduced Xiao Xuanyuan to the Alchemy Valley, so their relationship was naturally quite close. However, Xiao Xuanyuan's superb alchemy skills were truly beyond his expectations, reaching such a level! Therefore, his gaze towards Xiao Xuanyuan at this moment was even more different!

Nangong Wan sighed inwardly. She had once coveted the strange fire on his body, but now a bitter feeling welled up inside her. It was truly infuriating to compare herself to others; this young junior had ultimately surpassed her. From that moment on, Nangong Wan completely gave up any thoughts she might have about the strange fire on Xiao Xuanyuan's body.

"I haven't refined it yet. I'm currently only a sixth-grade advanced alchemist, and I can only refine sixth-grade high-quality pills." Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly and took out the jade bottle in his arms. "Here, these are the six-grade pills I refined this time, the Hundred-Turn Spirit-Ascending Miracle Pills. There are three of them."

Zhang Cangwu, his hand trembling slightly, reached out and took the jade bottle. He then gently uncorked it, opened it, and slowly poured out three large, round pills, each the size of a ripe longan, floating quietly in the air before him, emitting a faint yet lingering medicinal fragrance.

As the three pills appeared, everyone around smelled the faint medicinal fragrance in the air, a scent that was refreshing and invigorating.

"Wow, look! This is the sixth-grade pill refined by the 'housewife killer'!"

Someone with sharp eyes spotted the three floating pills at a glance and immediately exclaimed in surprise, attracting everyone to stand on tiptoe and look up, which caused another commotion.

"That's the aroma of the medicine! A sixth-grade pill! It's a sixth-grade pill, it makes my mouth water just looking at it. This scapegoat hero is damn amazing!"

"What 'strongest deserter'? Today he's going to be called the 'strongest pharmacist'!"

"Go to hell! He should be called the strongest medicine king. To have such superb alchemy skills at such a young age, 'strongest medicine king' is too lenient. He should be called the strongest medicine emperor!" Someone kicked the man aside and said indignantly.

Ignoring the surrounding noise and chaos, Zhang Cangwu's eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at the three pills in the air. He muttered to himself, "The pills are enormous, perfectly round, and possess no fewer than five pill patterns. They are also faintly shrouded in a pill halo. These are top-grade sixth-rank pills, which even ordinary seventh-rank alchemists cannot refine. And there are three of them! You are truly a prodigy!"

Chapter 146 Someone Wants to Kill Xiao Nianxiao

"Greetings, Sixth Elder!"

May the Sixth Elder be well!

"Sixth Elder, have you prepared a fifth-grade pill for me? I have prepared ten portions of medicinal herbs here."

"Sixth Elder, I wish to become your disciple! Please accept me!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was strolling through the market near his home with great interest, leading a bouncy child by the hand. Beside him was a beautiful woman with an ethereal beauty and her hair styled in a bun. The woman followed along with a happy smile.

As for those people who kept rushing up to ask to become his disciples or for medicine, they were all stopped by more than twenty guards so as not to disturb their master's mood.

A day ago, after the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu came, he immediately decided to appoint Xiao Xuanyuan as the sixth elder of the Alchemy Valley. Xiao Xuanyuan took office immediately and was equipped with more than twenty guards whose strength reached the Douling level. He enjoyed all the privileges of an elder in the Alchemy Valley and ordered the construction of an elder's palace for him!

Xiao Xuanyuan readily accepted all of this. He figured he might as well take the benefits that were free, since he wouldn't lose out anyway. However, he did have a condition: the Alchemy Valley could not force him to do anything he didn't want to do. He was free to come and go as he pleased, and apart from the occasional necessary alchemy work, even the Valley Master could not forcibly mobilize or order him around. If he did not agree, he would absolutely not want to take the position of Elder.

Upon hearing this extremely unreasonable request, Zhang Cangwu's face turned pale and then red. After a moment of hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed. He had high hopes for Xiao Xuanyuan's talent and future in alchemy, and his strength was also quite remarkable. He was able to break through to the nine-star Dou Wang level within a year. Who would dare to underestimate such a cultivation speed?

So, after this farce, Xiao Xuanyuan is now the sixth official elder of the Alchemy Valley—the Sixth Elder! He not only enjoys all the privileges of an elder, but also acts with complete freedom and without restriction! This astonished everyone present, filling them with envy, jealousy, and resentment. From this point on, Xiao Xuanyuan has truly become famous and risen to prominence in the Alchemy Valley!

That day, the Flower Fairy officially recognized Xiao Xuanyuan and told him about the child she was having. The child's name was Xiao Nian. However, Xiao Xuanyuan had his own reasons and privately asked his senior sister to give the child her surname. Although he was very unhappy, the Flower Fairy did not disobey him. Therefore, the child of the Flower Fairy and Xiao Xuanyuan is now called Hua Nian Xiao!

After a day of intimacy with his senior sister, the Flower Fairy, Xiao Xuanyuan was in a great mood. He decided to take Nianxiao out for a stroll and spend some quality time with the mother and daughter. This kept Zhao Zhilan, who had been following them from a distance, secretly seething with anger. She was also Xuanyuan's woman; why did he only spend time with her? It was all because of that damned child! A murderous intent suddenly welled up within her.

Xiao Xuanyuan was completely unaware of all this; the harem was on fire!

"Uncle, I want a lollipop." Little Nianxiao pointed at a lollipop vendor in her childish voice. In fact, there were many ordinary people in the market. These were people who had signed contracts with the Alchemy Valley and moved in from the Black Corner Region. They were either trying to escape the war or seeking a stable life. Although these ordinary people did not have much talent for cultivation or alchemy, the strongest of them were only below the Dou Zhe level.

The Alchemy Valley had also considered this, since the life of an alchemist is quite monotonous and tedious. Moving more ordinary people into the Alchemy Valley would not only solve some of the servant problems, but also allow them to establish a market where alchemist disciples could relax and relieve boredom. It would truly be a win-win situation.

"Okay, Uncle will buy it for you right away." Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at the vendor and found that he was over forty years old, but only had the cultivation of the sixth level of Dou Qi. He didn't have much strength or talent. It seemed that he could only live a peaceful and uneventful life in this Medicine Refining Valley.

Holding Xiao Nianxiao in his arms, Xiao Xuanyuan and his two companions walked up to a street vendor, grabbed a candied hawthorn, and handed it to Xiao Nianxiao, asking, "How much?"

"Three copper coins," the vendor replied with a smile.

"Here are nine copper coins. Here are three candies for you." Xiao Xuanyuan paid the money, and took one candy for himself and the Flower Fairy. After all, they were family, so of course they should be happy and not be selfish. The Flower Fairy looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with gentle eyes, like a spring of water, and accepted the candied hawthorn. Her beautiful and charming appearance made Xiao Xuanyuan's mouth water. Even though she was a mother now, she was still so sexy and alluring.

Xiao Xuanyuan felt that he had to treat her well tonight, otherwise it would be a waste of such a good resource. If all else failed, he would let her have another child. Of course, the more children the better. As for whether they would take his surname, it didn't matter.

It doesn't matter whose surname you take. Does taking his woman's surname mean you're not his blood relative? What kind of nonsense is that? There's no such thing as a surname.

The day of fun passed quickly. In the evening, Xiao Xuanyuan took the Flower Fairy back to the small courtyard he had built. His Elder Palace had already been chosen, located on a beautiful mountain peak that was close to Nangong Wan's Elder Palace.

Although the mountain peaks are not very high, the surrounding scenery is quite beautiful. The valley below is quiet and lush with greenery, with a small, circular river winding around it, making a melodious babbling sound. Occasionally, small animals such as colorful deer appear, creating a peaceful scene. Several lakes dot the landscape, which, even if small, are quite rare and a delightful surprise. It's truly a delightful and pleasant experience.

This is one of the reasons why Xiao Xuanyuan specifically chose this mountain peak, which is at a mid-level altitude, as the Elder's Palace. As for the other reason, it is of course close to the Elder's Palace of his nominal master, Nangong Wan.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan had only one thought in his mind, "Master Wan'er, how can I live without you?!"

The night was serene and dark, utterly silent, except for a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, a perfect embellishment. If an artist were to paint this night scene and take it to the market, it would probably be worth dozens of copper coins.

After a passionate and intense lovemaking session, the Flower Fairy's beautiful and charming face, like that of a fairy, revealed happiness and satisfaction. She found an extremely comfortable angle, nestled against Xiao Xuanyuan's strong and reliable chest, and gently stroked it.

"Xuanyuan, have you really made up your mind to abandon us, mother and daughter, and enter the inner courtyard alone?" His words were filled with sorrow.

"Well, I'm already a nine-star Dou Wang now. If I want to go even further, I must go to the inner courtyard. When I advance to Dou Huang, I'll come back to see you and your daughter when I have time." Xiao Xuanyuan lovingly stroked the woman's fairy-like face. A man's ambition lies in all directions. He cannot let love and affection cause him to lose himself and fall into depravity in a corner of the Dou Qi Continent. He still has a mission, a responsibility, and a fighting spirit as high as a lion.

The old physician needs him to revive him, other women need his protection, and so does the woman in his arms. He's not strong enough to even consider these things. Furthermore, he understands that Xun'er is backed by an ancient clan, a colossal force descended from ancient times. If he can't raise his strength to an extremely high level, Xun'er might leave him, something Xiao Xuanyuan cannot tolerate.

"This world is vast, vaster than you can imagine, Fairy. I must have the determination and courage to forge ahead." Thinking of the colossal beings of the Central Continent, and remembering that the Dou Qi Continent was merely a small lower plane within the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Xiao Xuanyuan felt an inexplicable surge of fighting spirit.

In short, fighting for women is not his ultimate goal, but protecting his woman is an undeniable responsibility.

While Xiao Xuanyuan was talking to his woman about how vast the Central Continent was and how interesting the eight ancient clans were, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly jumped out of bed.

"What's wrong?" The flower fairy got up, somewhat puzzled.

"Someone wants to kill Xiao Nianxiao!"

Chapter 147 Zhao Zhilan's Tears

In the pitch-black night of another small room next door, a ghostly figure hidden in tight-fitting black clothing stealthily opened the door with a very soft creak, as if a gentle breeze had blown. The ghostly figure tiptoed into the room and made its way to the bedside without any major incident.

This is Xiao Nianxiao's room. In order to prevent Xiao Nianxiao from disturbing his and his senior sister's good time, Xiao Xuanyuan let her sleep here alone. However, he really did not expect that, with his current status and reputation as the Sixth Elder in the Alchemy Valley, who was at the height of his power and fame, someone would still dare to come and carry out an assassination. This really made Xiao Xuanyuan furious!

The furtive man in black approached Xiao Nianxiao's bedside. With a flash of cold light, a three-foot-long sword, radiating endless sharpness, appeared in her hand. "Dare to steal my man? Die!"
