Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master.

Bai Xinya looked at Cai Lin gently. As a mother, she felt that it was good that her son had found such a good wife. Bai Xinya was very satisfied with Nalan Yanran, and she was also very satisfied with Queen Medusa. She even wanted Xun'er to be her daughter-in-law!

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan: "What do you mean? You think you're so talented and strong? Your father is a Dou Zong expert now! Your mother has been a Dou Zong for several years! What's wrong with us helping you look after the family business?"

Xiao Yan then realized that Xiao Zhan should have just advanced to Dou Zong and was still in the adjustment period of Dou Zong. After the adjustment period, he would become a one-star Dou Zong.

Meanwhile, Bai Xinya, standing to the side, surprised Xiao Yan to discover that her cultivation level was not much different from Han Feng's, probably around the level of a six-star Dou Zong! With such cultivation, she could easily defeat Jia Xingtian.

"Father, Mother, what about your cultivation levels?" Xiao Yan asked in disbelief.

"You think you're the only one who can refine pills? Your second uncle practically dragged me to the Dou Zong level, but with my aptitude, Dou Zong is already the limit. Your father is better at handling affairs."

"And your mother, do you remember when your mother had a serious illness and almost died?" Xiao Zhan said slowly.

"Of course I remember, how could I forget!" Xiao Yan almost lost his beloved mother; there was no way he could forget something like that.

"After your second uncle saved your mother, he gave her a lot of good things, which made her cultivation talent several times or even dozens of times stronger! I was able to achieve my cultivation thanks to your second uncle's large amount of pills."

"Your mother truly broke through to the Dou Zong realm through her own cultivation and the aid of elixirs. She might even break through to the Dou Zun realm in the future," Xiao Zhan said, shrugging.

Xiao Zhan now understood why his second uncle had told him to suffer a bit. It was indeed a little tough, but Xiao Zhan didn't care. As long as his wife was there, what did it matter if he was worse off than her?

Bai Xinya looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile, but she still deeply loved her husband and was content to stay by his side.

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll go to Zhongzhou with Cai Lin to explore." Xiao Yan said with a smile. His relationship with Cai Lin had just started to improve, and he didn't want to be separated.

"Alright, now the Flame Alliance has someone watching over you. Little Flame, you don't need to worry about your parents' safety. They have plenty of life-saving items on them, plus your great-great-grandfather is also in the Flame Alliance."

"Your great-great-grandfather was a peak Dou Zun expert, so there naturally won't be any problems here."

Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said.

"Was my great-great-grandfather really that strong? Peak Dou Zun!" Xiao Yan hadn't expected his kind great-great-grandfather to be so strong.

"Alright! You should go to the Chuyun Empire now. Xian'er is probably having a hard time. The mark I left on her has already sensed that she has unleashed her Calamity Poison Body several times. Her current cultivation level is probably at the Dou Zong level, possibly even stronger than the one next to you."

Take these things with you. These are the materials I collected related to making and refining poison, as well as techniques and combat skills related to poison. Just give them to her. I've also gathered the materials for condensing the poison pill. When you have time, condense the poison pill for her.

If her afflicted poisonous body can stabilize, she will most likely become a Dou Zun powerhouse, at which point your adventures in the Central Continent will be much safer.

Xiao Li handed several storage rings to Xiao Yan, who then looked into the distance.

"Little Fairy Doctor, wait for me, I'm coming!"

Xiao Yan spread his Dou Qi wings and headed towards the Chuyun Empire, with Queen Medusa following behind him.

Xiao Li turned to Xiao Zhan and said, "Alright, it's time to gather the clansmen and head to Xiao Realm."

"Ah."

Chapter 260 The First Meeting of the Tianfu Alliance

Central Plains, the Realm of Sound

At this moment, the Great Hall of the Sound Realm was filled with important figures whose every stomp of their feet could shake the Central Plains.

The Heavenly Sound Elder of Yin Valley, Heavenly Sound Child, Valley Master Su, and Blood Dragon Venerable.

Burning Flame Valley, Nine Dragons Venerable Tang Zhen, Fire Cloud Ancestor, and Grand Elder Yan Huo.

Flower Sect Master, Green Fairy, Hua Fairy, Flower Jade Fairy, Flower Brocade Sect Master.

Starfall Pavilion, Medicine Saint, Wind Venerable.

The Xiao clan, the sages of Yin and Yang.

At this moment, everyone on the field was a renowned figure, with the lowest being a Dou Zun expert, and the vast majority of them being Saints.

At this moment, the saints present looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Qingxianzi's gaze kept glancing towards Yaochen's location, while Huaxianzi sighed inwardly.

Huoyun Patriarch crossed his arms, looked at Yao Chen, and then at Xiao Li.

'That old bastard Yao Chen is still alive? Wasn't he supposed to die from refining medicine? And now he's even broken through to Dou Sheng? Is my luck really that bad? And that kid over there is already at the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng, just like me?'

That old man Su has even reached the second-star Dou Sheng level; he must have taken a ninth-grade treasure pill, right? This ancestor also really wants to take a ninth-grade treasure pill.

"Hehe, today is the first meeting of our Tianfu Alliance. We're all old acquaintances, so relax a bit," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, indeed! We're all old acquaintances, and now we're comrades in the same alliance, so let's just say what's on our minds," Yao Lao said with a faint smile.

"There's not much to say, but the Styx Alliance is really arrogant these days. They're so arrogant because of that Netherworld Old Ghost. If I wasn't afraid of ruining the alliance's grand plan, I would have killed that Netherworld Old Ghost long ago," said Ancestor Fire Cloud angrily.

Qingxianzi: "The Styx Alliance seems to have a lot of influence, but there is probably the Soul Palace behind it. Otherwise, how would they know the location of the Netherworld Old Ghost? And how would they have been able to break into the Flower Sect and release the Netherworld Old Ghost when we sisters left the sect?"

"There must be the Soul Hall involved. I've already fought that old ghost from the Netherworld. He has fully recovered his strength. Besides the two of you here, the only ones who could restore his strength are the Soul Hall and the Pill Tower."

"Those old guys in the Pill Tower are not only arrogant but also very aloof. The Netherworld Old Ghost definitely won't go after them. That leaves only the Soul Palace," said the Heavenly Sound Elder, stroking his beard.

Xiao Li stroked his chin: "It seems the Soul Palace can't hold back any longer. The Soul Palace's deputy hall master fought me before, trying to test my bottom line, but he was killed by the Xiao Clan ancestor behind me. This time, the Soul Palace will probably have to keep a low profile for a while."

Now that we have some time, I plan to join forces with Mr. Yao to integrate the resources of our sects. Mr. Yao and I will refine a batch of high-grade pills to help our alliance members improve their strength.

"Prioritize improving everyone's strength. If resources are used properly, we should be able to bring several seniors to around three-star Dou Sheng level. With Mr. Yao and I working together, the success rate of pill formation should be much higher."

Yao Lao nodded. He had the same idea. He had now completely taken control of this body and was a genuine early-stage one-star Dou Sheng. His soul had improved the most, reaching the late-stage Heaven Realm!

The improvement in his soul power increased the success rate of Yao Lao in refining the ninth-grade precious pill.

Old Ancestor Huoyun rubbed his hands together. He had long coveted the Grade Nine Treasure Pill, and now he could finally enjoy it.

"It would be even better if we could also bring the Pill Tower over. With the size of the Pill Tower, we would have a greater reserve of medicinal herbs and pills!" said Ancestor Huoyun.

"Ancestor Huoyun is right. I will visit the Pill Tower afterward, with Mr. Yao as my guide. I want to test the quality of the Pill Tower, defeat them one by one, and then join our Heavenly Mansion Alliance!"

Xiao Li smiled lightly.

"Oh?"

The powerful figures present were all taken aback; they hadn't expected Xiao Li to be so confident.

Qingxianzi looked at Yaochen, asking him with her eyes. Yaochen simply nodded to Qingxianzi, and she understood what he meant.

"Good! Let's teach those old bastards a lesson!" Old Ancestor Huoyun laughed heartily.

The alliance meeting ended there. Since it was a clandestine alliance and hadn't yet come to the forefront, Xiao Li guessed that the Soul Palace would likely find out, but wouldn't take any action, since their alliance hadn't directly raised the slogan of overthrowing the Soul Palace this time.

The Soul Palace wouldn't go looking for trouble.

Xiao Li is not afraid of the Soul Palace in the current Heavenly Alliance, but he is afraid of touching the nerves of those imperial clans. After all, the Soul Clan has not yet made any moves, and the seven clans are still alive and do not interfere with each other.

The establishment of the Heavenly Alliance is far too early. The seven clans are all living peacefully, and suddenly the Heavenly Alliance appears in the Central Plains. The weaker imperial clans will definitely not be able to handle it. It may cause an alliance among the imperial clans, and then the Soul Clan's plans will be put on hold, and they will turn their attention to dealing with the Heavenly Alliance first.

Xiao Li wanted to prevent such a thing from happening. When would the Heavenly Mansion Alliance appear? It would have to wait until the Soul Clan destroyed the Spirit Clan, and let the ancestors of the Imperial Clan be filled with fear!

What Xiao Li and Yao Lao need to do now is to secretly strengthen the power of the Tianfu Alliance!

After the meeting,

Xiao Li stood side by side with Yao Lao. Yao Lao sighed, "You've just been resurrected and already have such a big headache. You really know how to make things difficult for me. You even have to refine such a large number of Grade 9 precious pills. I've never successfully made a Grade 9 precious pill before."

The old master once tried to refine a ninth-grade precious pill, but he was unable to withstand the black demon lightning, and ultimately gave up.

"There's no other way. The Soul Palace is powerful and the Imperial Clan is eyeing us covetously. Only by uniting with the top forces in the Central Plains can we stand against them!"

The old man nodded: "You are right. Now that I have returned to the Starfall Pavilion, especially since I have announced that I have broken through to the Half-Saint level, many powerful people have begun to show goodwill to my Starfall Pavilion and want to join it."

Unfortunately, our current reserves of medicinal herbs are somewhat insufficient. Eighth-grade pills are relatively easy to obtain, but the herbs needed to refine ninth-grade precious pills are truly scarce.

Xiao Li frowned: "That's true! The problem of insufficient medicinal materials is very serious. If we had the legendary Flame of Life, we wouldn't have to worry about the medicinal materials."

"Hey! I've got it! I discovered a Battle Saint's ruins in the Bone Mountains of the Beast Domain. It's said that its former owner was called the Creation Saint. The ruins aren't expected to open for several years yet. Why don't we open them early and loot them clean? What if there are enough medicinal herbs inside?"

The old apothecary raised an eyebrow: "Good idea! Shall we go?"

"Let's go! Wait, I'll take one more person with me! Oh, right, Elder Yao, you should catch up with Fairy Qing first, I'll be going now!"

Xiao Li left in an instant, without lingering for a moment.

"Hua Qing?" Yao Lao frowned, then sensed Hua Qing's aura rapidly approaching: "This kid, as expected of a Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, his perception is astonishing."

A few breaths later, a beautiful woman in green palace attire appeared before the old doctor: "Are you alright?"

"Hey~ Hua Qing, it's been a long time. I didn't get a chance to catch up with you at the meeting."
