The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, Xiao Xuanyuan put on the last shoe and walked straight out of the courtyard.

"Big brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going to cultivate in the back mountain..."

The mountain behind the Xiao family's house was quite steep. After some rock climbing, Xiao Xuanyuan finally reached a relatively flat cliff face with some difficulty.

A refreshing breeze blew through the clouds. Xiao Xuanyuan immediately sat down cross-legged. After gazing at the cloud-shrouded Monster Mountain Range across the way for a while, he closed his eyes, formed cultivation hand seals, and entered a meditative state.

Time flies, and half a day has passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Xuanyuan was awakened by the black ring on his hand; at that moment, the ring on his right middle finger was burning hot.

Is it coming?

Xiao Xuanyuan was quite uneasy. Having lived two lives, even though he knew that the ring contained a powerful soul capable of leading him to change his destiny, he couldn't help but feel nervous, like a student about to take the college entrance exam... Would he succeed or not? Would the 'Medicine Elder' acknowledge his identity? All of this still needed to be considered...

An antique black ring flew out of Xiao Xuanyuan's hand automatically and hovered in mid-air. A rather transparent figure drifted out from it... When the figure had fully emerged, Xiao Xuanyuan could see its face clearly. It was an old man with white hair and beard and a rather kind face...

Looking at Xiao Xuanyuan, who was staring blankly at him, Yao Chen seemed to float down on a white cloud and asked, puzzled, "Hey kid, aren't you scared? Aren't you surprised?"

It wasn't until the old man asked three times that Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to come to his senses: "Oh my, I'm so surprised, who are you?"

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's exaggerated appearance, Yao Chen was truly speechless.

"Kid, do you want to become powerful, like this..."

As he spoke, Yao Chen gripped a huge rock atop a distant mountain peak, and instantly, the rock shattered with a resounding crash that echoed in all directions…

Also on the summit of the back mountain, a young man in black robes was startled awake from his cultivation. Beside him, a beautiful young girl in a delicate, light purple dress turned around abruptly and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, stay here for now, I'll be right back..."

Her figure was like a butterfly dancing among flowers. With a few leaps, she lightly touched the ground with her feet and hurried towards the cliff face where Xiao Xuanyuan was.

Within the Xiao family, those who heard the loud noise discussed among themselves: "What happened? Was there thunder in the sky?"

"Kid, someone's coming, don't you dare tell them I'm here..."

Yao Chen glanced into the distance, then transformed into a wisp of smoke and returned to the ring.

Soon, a beautiful figure in pale purple arrived.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Xuanyuan's heart skipped a beat: "Sister Xun'er..."

"Oh? It's Cousin Xuanyuan. What are you doing here?" A complex look flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes. It was this young man in front of her who had dampened Xiao Yan's spirits, causing Xiao Yan to be in despair for several days. Fortunately, Xiao Yan recovered, otherwise... hmph...

Xiao Xun'er thought to herself, her questioning gaze sweeping curiously around her, until finally she spotted the shattered boulder not far away...

"Oh no, I was just practicing a powerful combat technique, and it made a bit of a racket..."

Chapter 003 Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West of the River [No Blue]

"A duel? Cousin Xuanyuan, you think you can handle that?"

Arriving at the broken rock, Xiao Xun'er examined it for a while, then stood up and looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with a cold smile.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Xiao Xuanyuan shrugged, giving him an expression that said, "Believe it or not."

"Humph……"

Xiao Xun'er turned to leave. Ever since this guy injured Brother Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er had no good feelings towards him.

"Sister Xun'er, you said there is an older brother who has always loved and protected his younger sister since childhood. When they were young, he often used his battle qi to help his sister improve her circulation and nourish her meridians, which caused him to over-consume his battle qi and damage his foundation. He has been unable to advance further since then. However, this younger sister has mistaken him for someone else and is always indifferent to and hurts this older brother who has been silently protecting her behind the scenes. What do you think this older brother should do?"

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er was about to leave, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately told a story in a slightly sad tone.

After hearing the story, Xiao Xun'er trembled slightly. She slowly turned her head and asked, "It's you?"

"This is a story, but it's a sad one. Xun'er, don't place your hopes on Xiao Yan anymore. He's not the one you're looking for..."

Xiao Xun'er's delicate face suddenly turned terribly gloomy. Then she turned and leaped several times, disappearing into the nearby forest. However, her figure was no longer as graceful and carefree as when she arrived; instead, it carried a heavy feeling...

After Xiao Xun'er left, the medicinal dust floated out of the ring again.

"She's your little lover? She's been getting very close to Xiao Yan, hasn't she?"

"How do you know Xiao Yan? Could it be that you..."

After hearing what Yao Chen said, Xiao Xuanyuan was startled, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

“That’s right, I’ve always known about Xiao Yan. As long as this ring exists, I can live forever.”

Yao Chen's face beamed with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Since you know him, you naturally know that I am now your master, because this ring is the one I won back!"

Xiao Xuanyuan quickly asserted his dominance and continued, "As your master, I command you to sever all ties with Xiao Yan from now on!"

"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so domineering. But don't worry, although I absorbed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi for nearly three years, the ring has changed hands. In the future, I only need to repay some favors to him..."

Yao Chen twitched his white eyebrows, puffed out his beard, and glared at him.

"That's good, that's good. Old man, you've lived for so long, you must have some cultivation techniques and fighting skills. Look, it's all your fault. You've absorbed one of my three levels of fighting energy. How are you going to compensate me?"

With a quick glance, Xiao Xuanyuan came up with a plan.

"That's easy. I have a ton of Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and plenty of Heaven-rank combat skills here. I just don't know which one you want to learn. But I also have a low-level Yellow-rank mysterious cultivation technique. I wonder if you dare to learn it?"

"Medicine" Chen boasted wildly, and towards the end, he spoke with a mysterious air.

"What kind of cultivation technique is that? Tell me about it."

Upon hearing Yao Chen mention the mysterious cultivation technique, Xiao Xuanyuan's heart pounded in his chest, but he feigned indifference on his face.

……

In the hall where the Xiao family entertained guests, the clan patriarch Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat at the top, with the three elders of the clan arranged in order of seniority below him.

As soon as Xiao Xuanyuan walked in, he heard a clear and melodious female voice, like the song of a nightingale.

"To be honest, my niece Yanran has come here to dissolve her marriage with Xiao Yan. I hope Uncle will grant her request!"

Xiao Xuanyuan's gaze suddenly lit up. This was a girl about the same age as Xiao Yan, who looked slightly older than Xiao Xuanyuan. Her appearance was even more beautiful than Xiao Mei's. In this family, perhaps only Xiao Xun'er, who was like a white lotus, could compare to her.

A green jade pendant dangled from the girl's delicate earlobe; as it swayed slightly, it emitted a crisp, clear sound, suddenly revealing a touch of preciousness...

In addition, three gold stars are drawn next to the girl's small, developing breasts.

"So beautiful!" Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The young woman was beautiful, but beside her stood a handsome, tall young man of about twenty. What was striking was not his appearance, but the five gold stars painted on his chest, signifying his strength: a five-star Dou Zhe!

To become a five-star Dou Zhe at around twenty years old demonstrates that this young man's cultivation talent is quite extraordinary.

Sure enough, the girls in the clan kept giving him flirtatious glances, and even Xiao Mei, who was sitting to the side, had a hint of fascination in her beautiful eyes when she looked in his direction.

However, this didn't seem to attract the young man at all; at this moment, he was focusing all his attention on the beautiful girl beside him...

"What?" Xiao Zhan, sitting on the patriarch's seat, slammed his hand on the square table next to him and stood up in a rage.

A fierce aura swirled around him. Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, and a faint blue battle aura gradually covered his body, eventually coalescing into a phantom lion's head on his face.

This is the Xiao family's intermediate-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique: Raging Lion's Fury!

Seeing Xiao Zhan's reaction, the old man beside the girl's face also became serious. He stood in front of Nalan Yanran, his eagle-claw-like hands suddenly clenched, and blue battle qi gathered in his eagle claws, emitting a fine but sharp sword aura.

The Cloud Mist Sect's profound martial art, the Azure Wood Sword Technique! Rank: Low-level Profound!

As the two unleashed their power, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a tightness in his chest and quickly circulated his battle qi to defend himself.

"What a powerful aura!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was secretly alarmed.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's breathing becoming increasingly rapid, the three elders of the clan suddenly shouted like thunder: "Xiao Zhan, stop now! Don't forget, you are the clan leader."

Xiao Zhan's body stiffened abruptly, and he slumped back into his chair.

"Uncle Xiao, Yanran didn't break off the engagement for nothing, Ge Ye..."

"Yes……"

The old man reached out and touched a ring on his finger, and a jade box with a greenish hue appeared out of thin air in his hand…

Upon carefully opening the box, a unique fragrance immediately filled the hall, instantly refreshing all who smelled it.

The three elders curiously craned their necks to look inside the jade box, then their bodies jolted, and they exclaimed in surprise, "Qi Gathering Powder?"

Inside the ancient box, a bright green pill the size of a longan lay quietly, emanating from it.

Seeing the astonished expressions on the three elders' faces, Xiao Xuanyuan boldly approached and noticed something amiss.

Upon seeing the Qi Gathering Powder, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but swallow hard... This is a real treasure! It can help a cultivator at the ninth level of Dou Qi to condense a Dou Qi vortex and become a Dou Zhe.

But just then, an angry voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Mr. Ge Ye, take back your pills. We may not agree to what happened today!"

The hall fell silent, and all eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Yan, who was standing in the corner with his handsome face raised.

Following the sound, Xiao Xuanyuan saw Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er beside him, though she was flipping through an ancient book.

"Xiao Yan, who gives you the right to speak here? Shut up!" The Third Elder, Xiao Yuntian, roared angrily, his face darkening.

"Xiao Yan, step back. I know you're upset, but we'll take care of things here!" the Grand Elder said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of resentment. He slowly stood up and coldly sneered, "Three elders, if the person they broke off the engagement with today were your son or grandson, would you still say the same thing?"

"You..." Upon hearing this, the three elders paused, looking at Xiao Yan with a surge of anger.

"Xiao Zhan, keep your son in check!"

The three elders all looked at Xiao Zhan, who was sitting dejectedly in his chair, but Xiao Zhan looked gloomy.

"Three elders, let Brother Xiao Yan handle his own affairs!" The girl raised her head, her light and melodious voice echoing in the hall, though her expression was rather pale and not in good condition.

Hearing the girl's soft voice, the three elders' arrogance immediately subsided. They exchanged helpless glances and then nodded.

Looking at the three dejected elders, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Xiao Xun'er with a complicated expression in his eyes. Recently, for some reason, Xiao Xun'er, who used to cling to him affectionately and call him "Brother Xiao Yan" this and "Brother Xiao Yan" that, had become silent. Xiao Yan could feel that Xiao Xun'er seemed to be distancing herself from him.

"Nalan Yanran, didn't you want to dissolve the marriage? No way, but I'll grant your wish..." As he spoke, Xiao Yan grabbed a pen, ink, and paper from the table next to him. He wrote the letter of divorce, and a letter of divorce was clearly visible.
