The whistling wind constantly whistled past Xiao Yan's ears. The wind beast sped through the air. The direction of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was different from that of the Starfall Pavilion. Venerable Wind had also specially escorted Mu Qingluan and Xiao Yan for a while.
"There's a space wormhole in the city not far ahead, let's part ways here," Xiao Yan said to Feng Zun and Xiao Yi Xian.
Venerable Feng said to Xiao Yan, "The Heavenly Phoenix Clan rarely comes into contact with humans. We need their help, so we should try to be humble in their territory."
Xiao Yan nodded. He was naturally aware of these things. The arrogant and domineering self he was in the Wind and Thunder Mountains was mostly a deliberate disguise to prevent himself from being recognized by the people of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion from the very beginning.
But since they were about to part ways, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "How about I go with you?"
In the original plan, Xiao Yan would go to the Tianluan Clan with Mu Qingluan to retrieve the demon core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, while Little Fairy Doctor would go to the Starfall Pavilion with Venerable Feng.
It's impossible to predict when the Soul Palace will attack the Starfall Pavilion. With only Venerable Wind guarding the Starfall Pavilion, the pressure is too great. If Little Fairy Doctor were also there, Xiao Yan would feel much more at ease. Xiao Yan doesn't want the force he's just found to rely on to be destroyed so soon after.
This matter had already been discussed before, but Xiao Yan was going to a magical beast family, and Little Fairy Doctor was still a little worried.
Xiao Yan turned to Little Fairy Doctor and patiently explained, "The pressure on Elder Feng is too great. It would be best if you were here too, so it wouldn't be too much trouble for me to go to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."
Seeing Xiao Yan's earnest gaze, Little Fairy Doctor understood the importance of Venerable Wind to Xiao Yan, so she stopped insisting and simply told Xiao Yan, "Be careful in everything."
A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips: "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible."
On the other side, after Xiao Yan finished speaking with Little Fairy Doctor, Venerable Feng handed Xiao Yan a letter. This letter was addressed to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and was meant to save Xiao Yan some unnecessary trouble.
"Qingluan, please give my regards to your grandfather."
Mu Qingluan nodded slightly, and then jumped off the giant eagle's back with Xiao Yan.
After watching the Wind Venerable's wind eagle fly away, Xiao Yan said to Mu Qingluan, "Junior Sister, lead the way."
Mu Qingluan was already very curious about Xiao Yan, and now that only the two of them were together, she couldn't help but ask him, "Senior Brother Xiao Yan, what is your relationship with Sister Little Fairy Doctor? Why is she so concerned about you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Just a friend..."
Even though that's what he said, Xiao Yan's expression became somewhat unnatural when he thought about what happened between him and Little Fairy Doctor during the two years he was asleep.
Mu Qingluan gave Xiao Yan a meaningful look, making Xiao Yan feel a little guilty and uneasy. Xiao Yan could only coax her, "Hurry up, so we can get our things and return to Xingyun Pavilion. As a thank you, I'll give you a Transformation Pill."
Mu Qingluan was delighted upon hearing about the Transformation Pill: "Great! But that's a seventh-grade pill!"
Xiao Yan took out a Transformation Pill from his storage ring and handed it to Mu Qingluan, saying, "Consider this my gift to you."
Although Xiao Yan did not refine this pill himself, it was given to him by Dan Qiu of the Dan family. The quality of pills produced by the Dan Tower family is also extremely good.
The Transformation Pill made Mu Qingluan's eyes light up. As a magical beast, she could naturally sense the quality of the Transformation Pill.
"Is Senior Brother still an alchemist?"
Xiao Yan nodded, confirming that he was indeed a certified seventh-grade alchemist by the Pill Tower.
Having received Xiao Yan's confirmation, Mu Qingluan, recalling that Xiao Yan's teacher was the renowned Medicine Venerable of Zhongzhou, said meaningfully, "It seems that Senior Brother might have some unexpected gains on this trip."
"Does your clan desperately need alchemists?"
Mu Qingluan smiled and said mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
……
This is a mysterious world. In the distant sky, endless clouds and mist always swirl, like a fairyland. Moreover, the energy of this world is exceptionally rich. Cultivating here would likely be much more effective than elsewhere.
Beneath the clouds and mist lies an extremely precipitous mountain peak, which, like a giant sword, pierces the sky. Looking up, one can only see the swirling clouds and mist, making it difficult to discern its summit.
At the summit of a cloud-shrouded mountain, there is a perfectly round blue stone. On the stone, a beautiful figure sits cross-legged, her hands forming a cultivation mudra. With each breath she exhales, wisps of energy, almost tangible, swirl around her fair nose.
The woman was dressed in a light blue robe, not extravagant, but exuding a refreshing elegance. A pale purple silk ribbon gently bound her slender waist, outlining its captivating curves. Her gaze moved upward, revealing a serene face with a pair of beautiful eyes that held a touch of ethereal beauty. It seemed that even the greatest anger would subside under the gaze of those tranquil and calm eyes.
This quiet cultivation lasted for nearly an hour. The girl's bright and beautiful eyes, which had been slightly closed, slowly opened. As her eyes opened, a wisp of golden flame flashed out, and an unusual sense of pressure spread out along with the appearance of the golden flame.
The girl stood up gracefully, her slender figure appearing exceptionally alluring. She tilted her head slightly, glanced behind her, and smiled gently, saying, "Elder Ling, please come out."
As the girl's voice faded, a shadow behind her slowly crept up and transformed into an old figure. The old figure bowed respectfully to the girl and said with a smile, "Miss's senses are becoming more and more terrifying. I have only just arrived here and I have already been detected."
The girl remained noncommittal to this small act of flattery, casually brushing aside a stray strand of her hair with her delicate hand, and asked, "Elder Ling, has come here for some business?"
The aged figure smiled and said, "According to reliable intelligence, a young man with exceptional talent appeared at this year's Four Directions Pavilion Tournament. He not only won first place in the tournament but also possesses strength comparable to a Dou Zun."
The girl remained silent. She had seen many geniuses like this before, and if that was all, it wouldn't be worth the old man making a special trip. So she waited for what would happen next.
"This young man is named Xiao Yan, and he comes from the Northwest Region of the continent..."
Upon hearing this, the girl took a light breath of the slightly cool air and whispered, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely true!"
The girl suddenly turned around, her delicate and pretty face now filled with a rare joy. She headed straight down the mountain, her steps resolute and without the slightest hesitation.
"Give the order: I want to leave the Ancient Realm!"
