People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

……

Jia Ma Empire, the imperial capital.

This is a quiet little courtyard, built at the very edge of the imperial capital. In the Gama Empire, only a few people know who lives there. Mu Tie, who has served the royal family for most of his life and is now the commander-in-chief of Zhengui Pass, is one of those few people.

In a study room in the courtyard, a wide variety of books were piled on the desk. An old man in a linen robe was sitting on a chair behind the desk, flipping through the book with one hand and holding a cup of tea with the other hand. He put it to his mouth and took a sip, looking very relaxed and at ease.

The old man in the linen robe is none other than Jia Xingtian, the current guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, whose cultivation has reached the peak of Dou Huang.

At this moment, the sound of shoes hitting the ground was heard in the corridor outside the room, and the sound was extremely urgent. It was obvious that someone wanted to report important information.

With a wave of his hand, a burst of fighting spirit opened the door of the study, and a figure in armor appeared at the door.

Seeing this person, Jia Xingtian said with some doubt: "Mu Tie, shouldn't you be stationed at the border of Zhengui Pass now? Why did you come to the Imperial City to find me?"

Jia Xingtian's voice was not loud, but it entered Mu Tie's ears accurately.

Mu Tie outside the door took a breath, then bowed to Jia Xingtian and said, "I came here this time to report something important."

Hearing Mu Tie's answer, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but perk up. He put down the teacup and book in his hand and asked Mu Tie, "Then tell me, what kind of important news is it that requires you, the commander of the Ghost Pass, to come here in person? If you can't explain it clearly, I will accuse you of deserting your post."

Hearing Jia Xingtian's question, Mu Tie did not delay and said directly: "Xiao Ling, who was known throughout the imperial capital a few years ago as the "first genius of the Jia Ma Empire in a thousand years", has returned to the Jia Ma Empire three days ago. Now his cultivation has broken through the Dou Wang level and he is also a sixth-grade alchemist. This time he came with a Dou Wang strongman, who he said was his companion. Now Xiao Ling has headed to the eastern part of the Jia Ma Empire, and his specific location is still unclear."

Chapter 62: Xingtian's Speculations

After hearing Mu Tie's narration, Jia Xingtian, who had remained calm, suddenly became sharp-eyed and asked Mu Tie, "Is what you said true?"

Nodding, Mu Tie said solemnly: "It is absolutely true. I saw him fly with his fighting spirit wings. He also took out the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist and used strange fire."

Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. He knew a little about Xiao Ling.

When the news came from Wutan City, Xiao Ling had already left the Gama Empire and went to study at Canaan College in the Black Horn Region.

Later, after Xiao Yan's talent rose, because he had an engagement with the Nalan family, and the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, Nalan Yanran, joined the Yunlan Sect and became Yun Yun's direct disciple, this aroused Jia Xingtian's vigilance.

They also conducted some detailed investigations into some of Xiao Ling's past events and interviewed some members of the Xiao family. Unfortunately, apart from practicing, Xiao Ling only stayed with a young girl from the clan. Both of them went to Canaan College at a young age. Apart from their appearance, they didn't find out anything useful. It's a pity that this genius was not discovered earlier.

It has to be said that the Xiao family's deliberate concealment of Xiao Ling's talent did reduce a lot of trouble for him when he was weak. Although they could not completely block the information about Xiao Ling, those people who heard the news thought it was exaggerated. After all, the Gama Empire had never seen such a genius in all these years.

Touching his gray beard, Jia Xingtian said to himself: "Now that Xiao Ling has risen, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse~"

Mu Tie, who was standing by, recalled what Xiao Ling had said before, and quickly said, "Xiao Ling also said that he wanted the royal family to help him with something. He could make pills for the royal family."

"Then tell me in detail, how exactly do you need help from the royal family and what kind of reward will you give?" Jia Xingtian asked curiously. Now Xiao Ling has not shown any inclination towards any faction. Even if he cannot win over the royal family, there will be no harm in making friends with them.

After recalling Xiao Ling's explanation, Mu Tie said, "Xiao Ling seems to want to bring his family back to the imperial capital to live, and hopes that the royal family can escort the Xiao family to the imperial capital. The reward he offered is that as long as three sets of medicinal materials for Po Zong Dan are collected, he can help the royal family refine a Po Zong Dan."

After listening to Mu Tie's words, especially when he heard the three words "Po Zong Dan", there seemed to be some light in Jia Xingtian's slightly turbid eyes.

The yard fell into silence again, and Jia Xingtian seemed to be digesting this incredible information.

After a long silence, he took a sip of tea and said to himself: "The Po Zong Dan, this is a sixth-grade top-level elixir that can help Dou Huang peak to break through Dou Zong. I didn't expect that this boy could refine the Po Zong Dan at such a young age. This talent is really terrifying, worthy of being the "first evildoer in the Jia Ma Empire in a thousand years." It seems that he wants the royal family to take care of his family more because he can't be in the family often. But with the engagement between Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, and Nalan Yanran, the eldest lady of the Nalan family, why doesn't he seek help from the Nalan family and the Yunlan Sect. It seems that there must be some hidden secrets that we don't know. Now that Xiao Yan's talent has been lost, Nalan Yanran may not look down on Xiao Yan. Could it be..."

Jia Xingtian is also a veteran who has lived for many years. From the few words revealed by Xiao Ling, he can guess that Xiao Ling is prejudiced against the Yunlan Sect.

After figuring out some things, Jia Xingtian felt suddenly enlightened. The most urgent thing was to communicate with Xiao Ling and establish a good relationship.

Moreover, escorting the Xiao family members to the imperial capital was not a matter worth mentioning. It was just sending out some manpower.

As for the issue of security, no one in the Gama Empire dares to openly oppose the royal family.

Moreover, he himself was quite envious of the Pozong Pill. If he could take a Pozong Pill, perhaps he could break through to the Douzong level in his lifetime and extend his life by a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian decided to take action immediately.

He said to Mu Tie: "You have made great contributions this time. You can go to the Merit Office to receive the highest level reward. I have to deal with some things first. Don't forget to return to Zhengui Pass to take up your post after receiving the reward. If the commander-in-chief is not here and we are suddenly attacked by the enemy, we will be in trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xingtian spread out a pair of khaki fighting wings and flew rapidly towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Looking at the direction where Jia Xingtian left, Mu Tie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "This matter is finally completed, and it's worth the few days of travel I've been on. The letter to the Xiao family will arrive soon, and I have to explain to the head of the family first. When the Xiao family moves to the imperial capital, I have to establish a good relationship with the Xiao family as soon as possible."

……

After flying for a while, Jia Xingtian arrived deep in the imperial palace, next to an ancient-style martial arts training ground.

My eyes turned to a woman on the stage, I saw her waving a spear in her hand, looking heroic.

This woman is none other than the current eldest princess of the Jia Ma Empire, Yao Ye.

Seeing Jia Xingtian appear at the side of the martial arts field, Yao Ye, who was practicing fighting skills, stopped what he was doing, walked up to him, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, why do you have time to come to see Ye Er today? Is there something going on?"

Jia Xingtian did not speak directly, but took Yao Ye to sit in the pavilion nearby.

After brewing two cups of tea, he handed one to Yao Ye, then picked up the other cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and said, "The genius who was famous in the Jia Ma Empire back then, Xiao Ling from the Xiao family in Wu Tan City, has returned from Canaan College after further studies. He is now a Dou Wang powerhouse and a sixth-grade alchemist, and according to my calculations, his alchemy skills have surpassed Gu He. This time I came to you because I have something to arrange for you to do."

Yao Ye on the opposite side found it a little unbelievable after listening to Jia Xingtian's narration. How old was Xiao Ling now, but his cultivation was several realms higher than hers. He was also a sixth-rank alchemist. According to what her great-grandfather said, his attainments in alchemy were even stronger than Gu He, the guest elder of Yunlan Sect.

After all, Yao Ye had received a good education since childhood, so he quickly accepted this fact. Since his great grandfather had confirmed it, the news must be true. He asked curiously, "Could it be that what the great grandfather wanted Ye Er to do is related to Xiao Ling?"

With a slight nod, Jia Xingtian told Yao Ye everything that Mu Tie had described to him before.

After Yao Ye digested this information, Jia Xingtian said, "You will prepare three batches of medicinal materials for refining Po Zong Dan. If there are any materials missing, go and exchange them with the major forces in the imperial capital. Be sure to prepare them before Xiao Ling arrives in the imperial capital!"

Chapter 63: Refining the Douling Pill

Hearing Jia Xingtian's instructions, Yaoyue nodded and replied, "Don't worry, great grandfather, I will take care of the medicinal materials."

After arranging the preparation of medicinal materials, Jia Xingtian said again: "As for the escort of the Xiao family members, arrange a high-level Dou Ling to lead some soldiers to pick them up at the Xiao family. In the Jia Ma Empire, no one should dare to attack the royal guards."

As if remembering something, he added, "Yue'er doesn't have anything important to do recently, so let her go with the escort team to the Xiao family in Wutan City. This will also show the importance the royal family attaches to this matter and bring the relationship with the Xiao family closer."

After finishing his words, he drank the tea in the cup, and without waiting for Yao Ye's answer, he spread his fighting wings and left.

Looking at the direction where Jia Xingtian left, Yao Ye's eyes were inexplicable. He stopped for a moment, then turned around to arrange the things he was told to do.

……

As Rayquaza flew at a leisurely pace, half a day passed in a flash.

The setting sun slowly sets, illuminating an orange-red sky.

In the distant sky, a slender black figure rushed past, leaving an afterimage in the air.

On top of the dragon head, Xiao Ling was sitting cross-legged, staring intently at the medicine cauldron in front of him.

Inside the medicine cauldron, a young pill with some bumps on its surface was being continuously roasted by the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.

Under Xiao Ling's exquisite control, the flame warmed the embryonic pill at just the right temperature, and the irregular areas on its surface became more and more rounded.

As time passed, the energy fluctuations emitted by the pill in the medicine cauldron became stronger and stronger. At a certain moment, a pill fragrance diffused out from the medicine cauldron, and at the same time, a wave of energy fluctuations spread out from the pill. However, after being blocked by the medicine cauldron, it was easily dispersed by Xiao Ling.

Zi Yan and Yue Mei, who were sitting behind Xiao Ling, noticed the movement around them and turned their eyes over.

At this time, Xiao Ling was sucking the pill into his palm and looking at it carefully.

After taking a look at the Douling Pill in front of him, Xiao Ling said to himself, "The quality of this pill is quite good. There are no mistakes due to the hasty refining time."

Sensing the gazes of Zi Yan and Yue Mei coming from behind, Xiao Ling turned around and saw Zi Yan wiping the saliva from the corners of her mouth with her palm. Her wide-open eyes seemed to be able to speak, as if saying, "I want it!"

Xiao Ling stepped forward and touched Zi Yan's little head, then said with a smile: "This is not for you to eat. I will make a few more pills for you later."

Hearing that Xiao Ling would make pills for her later, Zi Yan calmed down a little. She took Xiao Ling's hand and shook it, saying, "Then hurry up and make pills for me."

He shook his head and looked in the direction of Yue Mei. Seeing that she was looking at him with expectant eyes, he knew that she couldn't wait to get the pill.

With a wave of his hand, the Douling Pill floated in front of Yue Mei. Holding it in her hand, Yue Mei looked at it curiously.

Based on his perception as a Dou Wang, the quality of this pill is definitely among the best.

At first, I thought the refining time was too short, and I was a little worried that the quality of the pill might be average. I even thought it would fail and waste a batch of medicinal materials.

After seeing this pill of excellent quality, all those concerns disappeared.

He took out a porcelain bottle, put the pills into it, and put it into the ring.

Yue Mei said in amazement: "Master Xiao Ling's alchemy is truly extraordinary. He can refine a fifth-grade elixir that would take ordinary people many days to refine in just half a day, and the quality is so excellent. Such skills are truly admirable."

Facing Yue Mei's praise, Xiao Ling waved his hand and replied: "Practice makes perfect. Without the guidance of my elders, I would not be able to reach this point."

Taking the map out of the ring, Xiao Ling lowered his head and looked at it for a while. He pointed his right hand at the location marked by the Mei Snake Tribe and said to Yue Mei beside him: "Commander Yue Mei, we are about to reach your Mei Snake Tribe. Let's say goodbye now."

Yue Mei nodded and looked forward. With her Dou Wang flying speed, it would only take about ten minutes to reach the Mei Snake Tribe.

Before leaving, Yue Mei blinked her charming eyes and smiled at Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, next time you come to the Mei Snake Tribe, I will personally entertain you."

After leaving these words, Yue Mei spread her fighting spirit wings and flew towards the Mei Snake Tribe.

After seeing Yue Mei had left for a distance, Xiao Ling stood on the top of the Split Sky Seat, pointed in the direction of the map shop in Haibodong, and said, "Akong, fly in that direction with all your strength."

After hearing Xiao Ling's order, Rayquaza raised its head, let out a long roar, and floated slowly for a long time. Finally, it could speed up and sprint. It twisted its body, and its speed suddenly increased. After a while, it disappeared into the sky!

……

Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

On the bed, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands making strange hand seals in front of him. His chest rose and fell slightly, and a perfect cycle formed with each breath. During the circulation of breath, a faint white airflow flowed through his mouth and nose, penetrated into his body, and warmed his bones and flesh.

When the young man closed his eyes to practice, the black ancient ring on his finger suddenly lit up with an extremely faint and strange light, which disappeared in the blink of an eye without attracting anyone's attention...

"Hu..." Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and suddenly opened his eyes. A faint white light flashed in his dark eyes. It was the fighting spirit that had just been absorbed but not completely refined.

"The fighting spirit that I cultivated with great difficulty is disappearing again... I, damn it!" After carefully sensing his body, Xiao Yan's face suddenly became angry and he cursed in a sharp voice.

Two and a half years have passed since Xiao Yan's Dou Qi disappeared for no reason for the first time. During this period, Xiao Yan was ridiculed in the Xiao family, and those who flattered him in the past have now disappeared.

After Xiao Yan's cultivation level regressed, Xiao Zhan spent a lot of family resources in order to restore Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation. He also used a pill recipe that Xiao Ling sent back from Canaan College and invited Mitchell, the vice president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Union, to examine Xiao Yan.

However, no matter how many resources Xiao Yan used, his cultivation talent could not be restored. The doctors and alchemists who examined Xiao Yan's physical condition found that there was no problem.

Because Xiao Yan wasted a lot of Xiao family's resources and still couldn't recover his cultivation, some people blamed Xiao Zhan and his son for this matter.

It would be fine if the talents were restored and the resources were used, but after spending so much money and not finding any problems at all, who wouldn't be dissatisfied?

Half a year later, it would be time for the younger generation of the family to take the test. If I were still at the third stage of fighting spirit by then, I would definitely be laughed at by those members of the family.

He clenched his fists tightly together. After a while, Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile, climbed down from the bed exhausted, and stretched his numb ankles and thighs. With only the third level of fighting spirit, he was unable to ignore all kinds of fatigue.

Chapter 64 Xiao Family Meeting

Xiao Yan casually moved his body in the room. Suddenly, an old voice came from outside the room: "Third Young Master, the clan leader invites you to the hall!"

Xiao Yan was very familiar with this voice. It was the Butler Mo who had taken care of him since he was a child. "Okay, I'll be right there." He responded casually, changed his clothes, walked out of the room, and smiled at the old man in green clothes outside the room, "Let's go, Butler Mo."
