Hearing this, the other four old men also cast their gazes towards the top of Rayquaza's head, where four figures were standing, and the young man in the center made them suddenly realize.
Naturally, they had seen Xiao Ling's portrait, but they did not expect that this talented young man who was famous in Gama could actually tame such an unknown sixth-level monster.
"Mr. Hai, it's been a long time. Seeing you in such high spirits, it seems that you have recovered quite well." At this time, Xiao Ling, who was standing on top of the Rayquaza, spoke lightly.
"Haha, the elixir refined by Master Xiao Ling is naturally extraordinary in effect." Hai Bodong laughed loudly first, then pointed at the old men behind him, "The one wearing glasses is Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire. The one with the elixir furnace on his head is the president of the Alchemist Guild, Master Fa Ma. That one is Mu Zhan, the head of the Mu family, and that one is Nalan Jie, the old head of the Nalan family..."
As Hai Bodong finished introducing several people, Xiao Ling also got to know these people in front of him. They were all well-known figures in the imperial capital.
Xiao Ling exchanged a few pleasantries with these old men and planned to leave and return to the Xiao family first.
Just when Xiao Ling was about to leave, Jia Xingtian smiled and said to Xiao Ling, "Master Xiao Ling, I wonder when we can start the pill refining that we agreed on before."
After hearing Jia Xingtian's question, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten about this matter.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling smiled at Jia Xingtian and said, "Wait for me to go back to the family first, and send someone to deliver three batches of medicinal materials tomorrow, and then I can start to help you refine them."
"Okay, Master Xiao Ling has been practicing away from home since he was young. I think he misses his family very much. I won't bother you for now. I will send someone to deliver the herbs to your house tomorrow." Jia Xingtian smiled and touched his beard.
Chapter 102 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade
Hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded to Jia Xingtian, said goodbye to Hai Bodong, and then rode on the Rayquaza and flew towards the Xiao family's mansion.
After Xiao Ling left, Fa Ma looked at Jia Xingtian with some curiosity, "Old Jia, what kind of elixir did you ask Master Xiao Ling to refine?"
Jia Xingtian just smiled mysteriously and did not answer Fama's question. He flapped his fighting spirit wings and returned to the imperial city.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Pozong Pill." Hai Bodong said lightly, stroking his beard.
When Mu Zhan heard the words "Po Zong Dan", there was no emotion on his face. Mu Tie had already mentioned this matter to him.
Nalan Jie and Fama's pupils shrank. The Po Zong Pill is a sixth-grade top-level pill that can increase the chances of a Dou Huang breaking through to a Dou Zong. They didn't expect Xiao Ling's alchemy skills to be so strong.
"He is able to subdue the strange fire at such a young age. He is indeed an extraordinary person. If I can join the Alchemist Guild, I will not hesitate to resign from the position of president." Fama said with emotion, stroking his beard.
Nalan Jie, who was standing by, had expectations when he heard the word "strange fire". "Since Xiao Ling has subdued the strange fire, he should be able to cure the poison in my body. Considering the marriage contract between the Nalan family and the Xiao family, Master Xiao Ling should not refuse my request. However, I still need to prepare a reward and come to ask in a few days."
After a few old men chatted for a while, they returned to their own forces. The news of Xiao Ling's arrival in the Holy City also spread quickly in the imperial capital.
……
Not long after, Xiao Ling returned to the Xiao family. When the elders in the family heard the news, they were ecstatic.
After several days of flying, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin both felt a little tired. Xiao Ling first arranged accommodation for them in his own yard, and then took Zi Yan to the Xiao family's meeting hall.
The meeting hall was filled with elders from the Xiao family who had broken through to the level of Grand Fighter.
Xiao Zhan sat on the seat of the clan leader, while Xiao Ling sat opposite him. Zi Yan didn't want to sit next to the old men, so she sat on Xiao Ling's lap.
"Haha, Xiao Ling, you finally come back to the family. We have been looking forward to seeing you so much, and finally you come back." Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ling with a smile on his face.
"After I have dealt with things outside, I naturally have to go back to the Xiao family first. I am also very happy to see that the Xiao family is getting better and better." Xiao Ling nodded and smiled faintly.
The great elder who was sitting at the side said at this time: "The Xiao family can be what it is today, thanks to your help, otherwise we are still in Wutan City, how can we return to the imperial capital."
Shaking his head, Xiao Ling waved his hands, "I am also a member of the Xiao family. These are what I should do. The clan leader and the elders have also put in a lot of effort to manage the Xiao family well."
Xiao Ling took out a storage ring and placed it on the table. He looked around at the elders and said to Xiao Zhan, "There are some martial arts and fighting skills I got in here. You can use them to fill the Dou Qi Pavilion."
He took out a few porcelain bottles from the ring and placed them in front of him. "These are five fifth-grade soul-breaking pills that I refined. They can increase the chance of a great Dou Shi peak breaking through to Dou Ling by 50%. Although the family has returned to the imperial capital, its own strength is still too weak. This won't last long."
After hearing what Xiao Ling said, the elders felt a little ashamed. They had always been the recipients of Xiao Ling's gifts, including martial arts techniques, fighting skills, and cultivation resources. These were all sent back to the Xiao family by Xiao Ling from Canaan College for them to use.
Apart from having a blood relationship with Xiao Ling and having taken care of Xiao Ling when he was a child, they have not done anything to help Xiao Ling.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan stood up and bowed to Xiao Ling. "Xiao Ling, you have made such a great contribution to the Xiao family, but unfortunately the Xiao family cannot repay you. If you want to become the head of the Xiao family, I, Xiao Zhan, have no complaints and will immediately hand over the position of head to you."
Seeing this, Xiao Ling quickly waved his hands, waved a Dou Qi, and helped Xiao Zhan up. "Patriarch, I am still young and cannot stay in the Xiao family all the time. I am not the kind of person who likes to take charge of things. You should continue to be the patriarch."
Hearing Xiao Ling's refusal, Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, then reached out to his neck, took off a jade pendant, and walked in front of Xiao Ling. "Xiao Ling, since you don't want to be the patriarch of the Xiao family, I won't force you. This is a jade pendant passed down from the ancestors of the Xiao family. Although I don't know where it came from, it has been passed down for so long, so its origin must be extraordinary. You are gifted, and your future is limitless. Maybe you can unlock the secret on it."
Looking at the jade pendant that Xiao Zhan handed to him, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, but still held it in his hand. "Since it is the good intention of the clan leader, I will accept it."
Seeing Xiao Ling accept the jade pendant, Xiao Zhan also smiled. If this jade pendant could help Xiao Ling in the future, it would be a kind of reward from the Xiao family to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling chatted with these elders for a while, then took Zi Yan back to the courtyard that the Xiao family had built for him.
The area of this courtyard is quite large, with all kinds of facilities. The house he lives in is even bigger than the four-person dormitory in Canaan College. Xiao Ling walked all the way and found that in the Xiao family, only the courtyard is as luxurious as his.
"Xiao Ling, is there anything wrong with that jade pendant?" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Ling, her eyes full of confusion.
Others might not have noticed it, but Zi Yan, who had been with Xiao Ling for five years, noticed a change in Xiao Ling's expression when Xiao Ling saw the jade pendant.
Touching Zi Yan's smooth purple hair, Xiao Ling smiled softly and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, a clever little ghost."
Spreading out his palm, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade lay quietly on it. Xiao Ling stared at the ancient jade with a serious look and said in a deep voice: "This is not only the most precious treasure on the Douqi Continent, but also the most dangerous thing."
If you collect eight pieces of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, you can open Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave and achieve the position of Dou Emperor.
In the original novel, because of its existence, the Xiao family was brutally slaughtered, and the Stone Clan, Medicine Clan, and Spirit Clan were all refined by the Void Devouring Flame because they possessed the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade.
Even Zi Yan's father, Zhu Kun, the old dragon emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, was trapped in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion for thousands of years because he coveted the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion. If it weren't for the Soul Clan's thousand-year plan to collect eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe jade, it would be difficult to escape. Otherwise, he would have to be trapped in front of the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion for the rest of his life, guarding the cave for the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.
Chapter 103 Yao Chen Appears
"Why do you say that? It's precious, yet dangerous?" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Ling with an increasingly curious look in her eyes.
After putting the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade back into the system space, Xiao Ling said calmly: "When the time comes, you will understand what I mean."
After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, Zi Yan scratched her head and said, "You will understand what I mean later. Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, you can't just say half of the story."
……
In the backyard of the Xiao family, in Xiao Yan’s small courtyard.
Xiao Yan was sitting on a chair in front of the desk, flipping through the book in his hand carefully.
The name of this book is "Encyclopedia of Pharmacological Knowledge" and it was a gift given to Xiao Yan by Princess Yaoyue.
Since Xiao Yan had no friends in the Xiao family, Yaoyue came to the Xiao family alone and had no acquaintances. In those few days, the two became friends. After the two got to know each other, Yaoyue also learned more about Xiao Yan.
On the way to the imperial capital, the two accidentally mentioned something about alchemists. Upon learning that Xiao Yan's fighting spirit attribute was fire mixed with a trace of wood, and that he had the talent to become an alchemist, Yaoyue gave Xiao Yan this "Encyclopedia of Pharmacological Knowledge".
Yaoyue's original words at the time were, "Since you can't cultivate fighting spirit now, then learn some knowledge about alchemy first. When your talent is restored, you may be able to become an alchemist."
Xiao Yan also had the idea of becoming an alchemist. Not to mention the distant past, his family was able to rise to prominence because of Xiao Ling, a sixth-rank alchemist.
Now Xiao Yan is unable to cultivate Dou Qi, and there are no computers and mobile phones like in his previous life in the Dou Qi Continent. He has nothing to do anyway, so he might as well spend some time learning some basic knowledge about alchemy. Maybe after his talent is restored, he can really become a respected alchemist as Yaoyue said.
Yao Chen in the Bone Flame Ring was naturally happy to see this happen. Anyway, when Xiao Yan became his disciple in the future, he would have to teach him this knowledge. Now that Xiao Yan could study this pharmacology knowledge on his own, Yao Chen believed that under the guidance of the continent's number one alchemist, Xiao Yan would surely become an excellent alchemist.
At this time, Xiao Yan's door was gently pushed open, and Xiao Zhan walked in with a happy look on his face.
Seeing Xiao Yan reading a book, Xiao Zhan felt very relieved. He walked up to Xiao Yan and patted his shoulder.
Xiao Yan felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was his father. He asked curiously, "Father, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Although Xiao Yan was born with a strong soul power, he was concentrating on reading a book in his own room, so he did not release his soul power to be alert to his surroundings.
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Yan'er, your cousin Xiao Ling returned to the Xiao family not long ago, and the news has spread in the Xiao family. But you have been reading in the backyard and have not heard of this news yet."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately closed the book in his hand, stood up, and said happily: "Since cousin Xiao Ling has returned to the Xiao family, can I go and ask him to check my body now?"
Xiao Zhan nodded. "Just now, the family elders had a conversation with Xiao Ling. After the conversation, he told me about this matter. Now your cousin happens to be free. Come with me to your cousin and let him check your physical condition."
Nodding, Xiao Yan said impatiently, "Father, there is no time to lose, let's go now."
Seeing Xiao Yan's impatient look, Xiao Zhan nodded, "Okay, then I'll take you to see your cousin first, but after you see your cousin, you have to thank him."
Nodding solemnly, Xiao Yan said to Xiao Zhan: "Father, I understand. I will sincerely thank my cousin Xiao Ling when the time comes. I also have to apologize to him. I was prejudiced against him before. I wrongly blamed him."
Xiao Zhan smiled with satisfaction, "Being able to discover my previous shortcomings is a sign of progress. Let's not delay any further. Follow me."
After waving to Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan walked out of Xiao Yan's room.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan had already left, Xiao Yan quickly put the books into the bookshelf, stood up and followed Xiao Zhan.
……
After walking for a while, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan arrived at Xiao Ling's courtyard and knocked on the gate.
At this time, on the lawn in the courtyard, Xiao Ling was guiding Qing Lin in his practice.
Today, Qing Lin, with the help of the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid and the Yellow Dragon Pill, and by absorbing the fighting spirit of snake beasts through the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, has reached the fifth stage of fighting spirit. This speed of cultivation really shocked Xiao Ling.
Back then, it took Xiao Ling four years to break through to the level of a fighter. Qing Lin only took less than half a month to reach the fifth stage of fighting spirit. In a month at most, Qing Lin would be able to break through to the level of a fighter.
Xiao Ling could only sigh, "Special physique, so terrifying."
If there were no extraction system and the external skill "Burning Art", no matter how talented Xiao Ling was, compared with the special physiques of Qing Lin and Xiao Yixiang, his cultivation speed would only be as fast as their taillights.
Sensing the arrival of Xiao Zhan and his son, Xiao Ling greeted Qing Lin first, then took him to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down.
Using soul power to push open the gate of the courtyard, the figures of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan appeared in the sight of Xiao Ling and Qing Lin.
After the door was opened, Xiao Zhan led Xiao Yan to Xiao Ling.
Pointing at Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, this is my youngest son, Xiao Yan. You were born a few months earlier than him, so you are considered your cousin."
Seeing his father introducing himself, Xiao Yan clasped his fists towards Xiao Ling, "Cousin Xiao Ling, I was prejudiced against you when I was little. I was narrow-minded at the time and was blinded by my arrogance. I was wrong before, and I apologize to you."
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Yan with some surprise.
Although Xiao Yan has not suffered the three-year low period like in the original novel, Xiao Zhan has been ridiculed and abused more severely than in the original novel because he asked Mitchell, vice president of the Alchemist Guild, to treat Xiao Yan. At least in Xiao Ling's opinion, the effect of these two and a half years should not be worse than the three years in the original novel.
I wonder if after Xiao Yan recovers his cultivation and the Xiao family has a promising sixth-rank alchemist, will the Yunlan Sect and the Nalan family allow Nalan Yanran to break off the engagement with Xiao Yan and make a three-year agreement, as in the original novel?
Picking up the tea that Qing Lin had poured, Xiao Ling took a sip, looked at Xiao Yan, and said calmly: "It's okay, I don't take these things to heart. It's common for young people to act on impulse. Now you look much more mature."
Turning to look at Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ling smiled slightly, "Clan leader, Xiao Yan will stay with me for the time being. It will take some time to completely solve his problem. Now that the Xiao family has just returned to Jia Ma Holy City, there are still many matters that need to be dealt with urgently, so I won't let you stay here any longer."
Xiao Zhan nodded after hearing this. He was relieved to leave Xiao Yan with Xiao Ling. If Xiao Ling wanted to harm Xiao Yan, he would have done it long ago. "Then I will go ahead. I'll trouble you with Xiao Yan's matter."
After replying to Xiao Ling, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan again, "Just do whatever your cousin Xiao Ling asks you to do. Just listen to your cousin Xiao Ling's arrangements. He will carefully help you check your physical condition."
"Father, I will." Xiao Yan nodded, his face serious.
After giving the instructions, Xiao Zhan walked out of Xiao Ling's courtyard, leaving Xiao Yan here.
After Xiao Zhan left, Xiao Ling stood up from the stool and touched Qing Lin's little head. Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Qing Lin, you will go and practice fighting spirit with your sister Xian'er later. If you have any questions, you can ask your sister Zi Yan."
After explaining everything to Qing Lin, Xiao Ling waved to Xiao Yan, "Come with me. It's hard to help you solve your physical problems outside."
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to respond, Xiao Ling took a step forward and walked into a training room.
