"From this day forward, I, Xiao Yan, hereby divorce you, Nalan Yanran, and you are to get out of the Xiao family."
Xiao Yan picked up the letter of divorce, his eyes gleaming, his face filled with determination.
“You…” Nalan Yanran, who had never been treated so lightly since childhood, trembled with anger, her delicate face turning pale.
"Don't underestimate the Xiao family. Fortune changes every thirty years. I, Xiao Xuanyuan, will challenge you to a duel in three years, on behalf of Xiao Yan!"
An untimely voice rang out from the hall.
All eyes in the hall turned to Xiao Xuanyuan.

Chapter 004 You're really bold! [No Blue]
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"
After Xiao Xuanyuan uttered those harsh words, everyone in the Xiao family's hall turned to look at him. Their gazes were filled with astonishment, ridicule, scorn, and even incomprehension. They couldn't understand why Xiao Xuanyuan, who was always considered a good-for-nothing and mocked in the Xiao family, would stand up for Xiao Yan. Some even thought he was an idiot, courting death!
Among these gazes was a cool, detached one, tinged with complex emotions. This gaze came from a graceful young woman in the corner. She had put down the ancient book in her hand, her gaze filled with incomprehension, confusion, and contradiction, while a hint of affection lingered deep within her clear, bright eyes.
"Xuanyuan, are you crazy? This is Xiao Yan's business, what right do you have to get involved? Go back to your room now, adults are discussing matters, children shouldn't interrupt!" The Third Elder Xiao Yuntian stared blankly for a moment in astonishment, then reacted, his slender body stepping forward, and loudly reprimanded Xiao Xuanyuan.
This grandson's arrival brought him utter disappointment, frustration, and embarrassment. He remained stuck at the third stage of Dou Qi for six or seven years, becoming the undisputed laughingstock of the Xiao family. The title of the Xiao family's number one good-for-nothing even affected him, causing Xiao Yuntian to be unable to hold his head high all these years. He even wished he could slap this grandson to death. However, his parents had died early. Thinking of this, Xiao Yuntian couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Xuanyuan's sudden appearance instantly changed the atmosphere in the Xiao family hall, relaxing from its previous tension. Many of the young men and women of the Xiao family couldn't help but suppress their laughter, their mouths tightly shut, their faces contorted with effort. If this weren't the Xiao family hall, and the elders of the seniority were present, they would have burst out laughing. However, some of the younger members of the Xiao family, unable to bear it any longer, covered their mouths tightly with their hands, managing to chuckle in secret!
Ignoring the mocking and sarcastic glances, Xiao Xuanyuan remained unblinking, pretending not to see them. He grew bolder, looking directly at his grandfather, Xiao Yuntian, without the slightest hint of backing down, and said, "Grandpa, Xuanyuan isn't joking; Xuanyuan is serious!" He emphasized the word "serious" with particular force.
"Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan were betrothed since childhood, but she abandoned him after starting the affair and now despises him. Xuan Yuan can't stand by and watch, and he's extremely indignant! Moreover, Nalan Yanran has come to our Xiao family so brazenly to break off the engagement. How can our Xiao family face anyone in Wutancheng after this? What about our clan leader? What face does he, the dignified clan leader, have? Not to mention Xiao Yan, he is a son of our Xiao family, my cousin. As a member of the Xiao family, I must avenge him and get justice!" Xiao Xuan Yuan said resolutely.
Xiao Xuanyuan's words left the Xiao family members in the hall dumbfounded. However, as members of the Xiao family themselves, they now felt a deep sense of sympathy, and their gazes toward Xiao Xuanyuan were no longer filled with mockery and ridicule, but rather with a hint of agreement.
However, this recognition was extremely fragile in the face of the two powers. Yunlan Sect was a behemoth in the Jia Ma Empire. No force in the Jia Ma Empire could shake its position or even challenge its authority, otherwise, its only fate would be destruction!
A soft chuckle broke the somber atmosphere in the Xiao family hall. The somewhat tragic atmosphere made Nalan Yanran suddenly feel a pang of sympathy for the Xiao family. However, her purpose in coming here was obvious, and she certainly wouldn't be deterred by a little so-called sympathy.
"You? Do you even have the qualifications? Let alone you, even if you brought out the most gifted genius in your Xiao family, I wouldn't take him seriously, let alone you, little brother!" The murmurs in the hall betrayed Xiao Xuanyuan's words when he announced a challenge three years later. He started cultivating Dou Qi at four, reached the third level of Dou Qi at five, and remained at that level for the next seven or eight years until now at thirteen. Such talent was unparalleled, not only in the Xiao family, but even any random child from the common people would likely have a higher level of Dou Qi than Xiao Xuanyuan! How dare he challenge me with such talent? Is he insane? Or is he a fool?
Even if this kid wasn't an idiot, Nalan Yanran was still prepared to accept the divorce, because she was absolutely furious about her trip to the Xiao family! She had never been treated so badly in her life. Her parents and elders all doted on her, and even now at the Yunlan Sect, the sect leader treated her as his only direct disciple, taking care of her in every way. Her status in the Yunlan Sect was unassailable; every disciple fawned over her. And now? She had been divorced in front of everyone by this good-for-nothing from the Xiao family! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became; Nalan Yanran simply couldn't swallow this insult!
"Then I'll use you as an example!" Nalan Yanran made up her mind and was about to agree when a voice rang out from the corner of the hall: "I'll handle my own affairs. I don't need you, cousin, to interfere. Let's stick to the three-year agreement. Three years from now, I, Xiao Yan, will definitely go to the Yunlan Sect to fight you and wash away today's humiliation!"
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he left the hall with an angry expression.
Just as Xiao Yan sat down next to her, Xiao Xun'er closed the ancient book in her hand and stood up abruptly. However, after glancing at Xiao Xuanyuan in front of Nalan Yanran in the hall, she then gracefully turned her head to look at Xiao Yan who had left. Complex emotions flashed through her bright and beautiful eyes. After hesitating slightly for a moment, Xiao Xun'er's eyes darkened, and she sat down again, placing the ancient book on her lap. Her jade hand supported her delicate chin, and her beautiful eyes were somewhat unfocused, but her attention remained fixed on the young man in the golden brocade robe.
As Xiao Yan left, Xiao Zhan, the clan leader, who had just stood up, slumped back down. With Xiao Yan announcing the engagement and without the protection of the Yunlan Sect, it would be even more difficult for Xiao Zhan to continue serving as the clan leader.
"Since things are settled, we won't disturb you any longer and will take our leave!" The old man who had almost fought Xiao Zhan was named Ge Ye. After Xiao Yan said those words, his expression was not very good.
"Uncle Xiao, I'll take my leave now! But I'll be waiting for him at Yunlan Sect three years from now!" Nalan Yanran put away her anger and bowed to Xiao Zhan with her hands clasped in farewell.
"No, Nalan Yanran, I, Xiao Xuanyuan, will challenge you three years from now!" Xiao Xuanyuan was very unconvinced and challenged Nalan Yanran to a duel as she was about to leave.
Upon hearing this, the three people, including Nalan Yanran, who were about to leave, paused and resolutely stopped in their tracks!
Nalan Yanran turned around, her pretty face now contorted with anger: "So you're challenging me too? I, Nalan Yanran, accept! But be prepared to be carried off the Yunlan Sect in three years!"
After being challenged time and time again, Nalan Yanran could no longer tolerate it!
Third Elder Xiao Yuntian glanced at the departing Nalan Yanran, then at his good-for-nothing grandson. He hesitated, finally letting out a soft sigh, unable to speak. He knew his grandson's temperament; once he said he would do something, he would do it regardless of victory or defeat! No one could change that, not even him!
And so, the two good-for-nothings of the Xiao family, Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Yan, made a pact with Nalan Yanran, the genius girl of the Yunlan Sect, to challenge her at the Yunlan Sect three years later! This matter quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wutan City, becoming a topic of conversation among people.
"Have you heard? The two good-for-nothings, Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Yan, challenged Nalan Yanran, the genius girl of the Yunlan Sect?"
"I've heard about it. The news has spread all over Wutancheng. These two good-for-nothings have really disgraced the Xiao family! They don't even know their own limitations! Two pieces of trash!"
Along the way, the members of the Xiao family kept talking about it, which made Xiao Xuanyuan smile bitterly.
Xiao Xun'er, who had been accompanying her, smiled sweetly. Her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, instantly dispelling the slight displeasure in Xiao Xuanyuan's heart. She said softly, "Cousin Xuanyuan, you really have a lot of courage!"

Chapter 005 Mysterious Skill [No Mana]
"Cousin Xuanyuan, you're really bold!" Xiao Xun'er smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her pretty face, making her cute and charming.
For a moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses. He was amazed by Xiao Xun'er's beauty at such a young age, but he was also overjoyed. Xiao Xun'er was just a beautiful young girl, but she already showed her beauty to be beyond compare. She was a rare beauty. It was clear that she would definitely become a stunning beauty in the future!
Xiao Xuanyuan realized what was happening. He came to his senses and boldly reached out to take Xiao Xun'er's fair hand, who was walking beside him.
"Hmm." When Xiao Xuanyuan reached out his big hand to take hers, Xiao Xun'er's body inevitably stiffened slightly, and her expression was rather unnatural. In an instant, she instinctively tried to break free from Xiao Xuanyuan's big hand.
From childhood to adulthood, apart from holding Xiao Yan's big hand, she had never been so intimate with any man before. Now that Xiao Xuanyuan was treating her like this, Xiao Xun'er tried to break free as if she couldn't resist.
Although she had somewhat accepted Xiao Xuanyuan in her heart, it wasn't something that could happen so quickly. As Xiao Xuanyuan's large, strong hand became firmer, Xiao Xun'er was puzzled as to why he was gripping it tighter and tighter: "Cousin Xuanyuan, you..."
"Xun'er, I'm going to marry you from now on. I want to be your man." Just as Xiao Xun'er stopped and was about to tell Xiao Xuanyuan to let go, Xiao Xuanyuan also stopped, turned around, and looked at her with bright eyes and determination.
Xiao Xun'er hadn't expected Xiao Xuanyuan to confess his feelings so suddenly. A blush immediately rose to her cheeks, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at him. She still hadn't completely made up her mind about whether to be with Xiao Xuanyuan. After all, given her status, not just anyone could be with her. Also, she still couldn't get over Xiao Yan; after all, years of feelings like that weren't something she could easily forget.
Xiao Xun'er was at a loss for what to do, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
"Wow, what is Xiao Xuanyuan doing?!" Some members of the Xiao family who were passing by stopped in their tracks upon seeing this scene, and their surprised gazes turned towards them.
"Who does he think he is? He even dares to flirt with Xun'er, the number one genius and beauty of our Xiao family. Is he looking for death?" Another member of the Xiao family, who was green with envy, rolled up his sleeves, wanting to step forward and teach Xiao Xuanyuan a lesson.
Noticing the strange looks and whispers around them, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately made a decision, grabbed Xiao Xun'er's hand, and ran up the back mountain.
Xiao Xun'er blushed with embarrassment, but she didn't deliberately break free from Xiao Xuanyuan, letting him hold her.
Soon, the two shook off the group of angry, envious, and jealous young members of the Xiao family and arrived at a hot spring in the back mountain.
Upon arriving at the hot spring, Xiao Xuanyuan was immediately panting heavily, constantly regulating his breathing, and it took him a long time to recover. Xiao Xun'er, on the other hand, was in better shape and recovered in no time.
After washing his face in the hot spring and drinking a few mouthfuls of the water with his hands, Xiao Xuanyuan wiped the water off his face with his sleeve and turned to walk up to Xiao Xun'er.
At this moment, Xiao Xun'er sat on a clean, protruding blue rock nearby, her long purple dress accentuating her graceful beauty. Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan approach, she unconsciously tightened her dress, appearing somewhat uneasy.
"Xun'er, what I want to tell you is that from now on, don't call me Cousin Xuanyuan anymore," Xiao Xuanyuan smiled, but afraid of scaring Xiao Xun'er, his smile was a little awkward and looked more like crying.
Xiao Xun'er looked at him with confusion and bewilderment.
"You can call me Brother Xuanyuan, Cousin Xuanyuan sounds awful. I just said I would marry you in the future, and I always keep my word, Xun'er, do you believe me?" As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out his hand, looking at Xiao Xun'er with a very serious expression. At this moment, he revealed his sincerity.
Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, then at his strong, large hands. The feeling of security she had just received from those hands holding hers gave her a sense of peace. She trusted Xiao Xuanyuan again and placed her soft, white hand in his. Xiao Xuanyuan gently pulled her up.
"Xun'er," Xiao Xuanyuan said, somewhat moved. He couldn't help but reach out and embrace Xun'er's small waist, feeling its delicate softness. Looking at her beautiful and charming face, Xiao Xuanyuan kissed her.
Snapped!
Just then, a loud slap echoed around, leaving Xiao Xuanyuan momentarily stunned. Then, a flustered Xun'er broke free from his embrace and ran down the mountain without looking back.
Touching his face, which stung slightly, Xiao Xuanyuan felt helpless as he watched Xun'er leave into the distance.
"Haha, kid, you've got what you deserved, haha!" At this moment, the old man named Yao floated out from the ring on Xiao Xuanyuan's hand like a ghost.
At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was furious. A flash of blue light appeared in his eyes and then disappeared, not even seen by Yao Lao.
"Yao Chen, a member of the Yao Clan, one of the eight ancient races, was expelled from the clan due to the machinations of the clan's elder, Yao Wangui. He was the number one alchemist in the Central Plains, with a strength at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun level. He was betrayed by his disciple, Han Feng, to the Soul Palace and perished. He possessed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame Ranking."
After a flash of blue light deep in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes, the origin and identity of the old medicine master before him were revealed without reservation, and all the information was displayed in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind.
"Hehe, 'Old Yao,' do you have quite a few romantic entanglements? Hahaha." With his eyes darting around, Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly came up with a plan. Relying on the memories of 'Old Yao' in his mind, he made a joke out of nowhere.
"What romantic debt?" Old Yao didn't react for a moment and asked in a daze.
"The Black Robe of the Pill Tower? The Green Fairy of the Flower Sect?" Xiao Xuanyuan looked inscrutable, blinking as he stared at the old medicine master, feigning ignorance.
"Uh..." This time it was the old medicine doctor's turn to be embarrassed. The smile on his face froze, his mouth was wide open, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
After a moment of surprise, the old doctor stared intently at Xiao Xuanyuan, his expression quite complex. His soul was completely locked onto Xiao Xuanyuan: "How did you know? It seems I haven't been awakened for long and haven't told you anything about myself?"
"Hmph, I won't tell you. Unless you teach me advanced techniques and fighting skills?" In a moment of impulsiveness, Xiao Xuanyuan blurted out his biggest secret, and immediately regretted it, scrambling to find a way to remedy the situation. Now that the old alchemist already knew he possessed this skill, even if he was forced to reveal it, he would still try to extract some benefits from him. Otherwise, having such a top alchemist and Dou Zun expert by his side and not knowing how to use him would be a laughingstock.
"Alright, I'll teach you a method to quickly improve your battle qi now." After staring intently at Xiao Xuanyuan for a long time, seeing his feignedly simple and honest appearance, Yao Lao readily agreed.
Startled, Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't expected the old doctor to agree so readily. It was truly beyond his expectations, but he didn't care. Now that he had been reborn into this world, it would be a great pity if he didn't pursue the realm of an invincible expert. Even if it meant fighting to the death, at least he wouldn't have any regrets.
The old man, Yao, acted swiftly, taking out a pen and paper from his ancient black ring. He held the white paper in his left hand, a white energy enveloping it, while his right hand held a thin pen. In no time, a unique script belonging to this continent floated onto the paper. Soon after, Yao finished writing, put away the pen, and lightly flicked the paper with the bold characters towards Xiao Xuanyuan. Xiao Xuanyuan caught it casually and held it in his hand.
At this moment, dozens of bold characters were written on the flawless white paper. The characters flowed freely, powerful and vigorous, exuding a grand and imposing air. After reading the handwriting, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, thinking to himself: As expected of an alchemist from the Dou Qi Continent, his handwriting is not bad, and it has a proud spirit.
After admiring the calligraphy of the old man named Yao, Xiao Xuanyuan finally noticed the contents on the white paper: three complete purple-leaf orchids, two bone-washing flowers, and a level one wood-type magic core.
"What is this? What's it for?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked curiously after reading the contents of the paper. In fact, he fully understood the contents of the paper, but he pretended not to, knowing that Elder Yao would explain it clearly.
"This is the formula for Foundation Establishment Elixir. Go and buy these things now, and I'll refine it for you to quickly increase your Battle Qi." The old medicine master nodded. After a slight hesitation, the old medicine master continued, "I just examined your internal condition. I don't know if it's because you overdraw your Battle Qi when you were young, but your meridians are quite damaged. These old injuries have been hindering your Battle Qi improvement. I'll write another formula for you to heal these old injuries first."
Xiao Xuanyuan was very excited. The old doctor was finally willing to start teaching him how to improve his fighting spirit: I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I will definitely become the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent!
Even before he had bought the medicinal herbs, Xiao Xuanyuan had already made up his mind.
After putting the ring away, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around and went down the mountain. He thought for a while and decided to apologize to Xun'er first, so that the girl wouldn't hold a grudge.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter 006 Xun'er's Thoughts
Before long, Xiao Xuanyuan arrived at the small courtyard where Xun'er lived in the Xiao family. The environment there was quite quiet, and the scenery was also quite nice. Without hesitation, Xiao Xuanyuan went straight to Xun'er's room and knocked on the door.
"Xun'er, are you there? I have something important to tell you." Xiao Xuanyuan knocked on the door a few times and called out, but after a long while, there was no response from inside the room.
Xiao Xuanyuan knocked on the door a few more times and said, "Xun'er, if you don't open the door, I'll force it open." After Xiao Xuanyuan said this, there was finally movement in Xun'er's room. There were light footsteps, and after a while, the door opened with a 'bang'.
Xun'er's hair was slightly disheveled, her face flushed, and she looked somewhat angry. She opened the door and said, "What are you doing here?" As she spoke, she glared at Xiao Xuanyuan with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.
Looking at Xun'er's appearance, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and didn't care about such trivial matters at all.
"Xun'er, I've come to apologize to you. I was rash just now, please don't take it to heart." Looking at the delicate, fair, beautiful, and adorable face in front of him, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Xun'er was still wearing the same light purple tight-fitting dress, her elegant and simple temperament making her look like a fairy in the mortal world.
"Well, I don't blame you anymore, but I have a small condition for the mistake you made just now." Xun'er suddenly covered her mouth and smiled slightly, her eyes looking at Xiao Xuanyuan with a sly and lively look.
