"It's done, it's about to form the pill!"
"Hurry, condense the pill!"
Buzz—
In Su Garden, wisps of elemental aura surged over, converging together to form a Pill Formation Phenomenon that should not have belonged to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 Pill.
Above the entire Su Garden, Nine-Colored Clouds and Mist churned, dazzlingly gorgeous.
Inside Su Garden, even with Old Ya's experience, his eyes shone as he watched this scene and broadened his horizons.
In just a dozen or so days, Su Qingyun had actually already grasped the techniques of alchemy and was about to successfully condense the pill!
Xiao Yan and Xun'er each guarded one side, both startled by the wave from this pill formation.
Over the past ten-odd days, Xiao Yan had received the nourishment of pure Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, and together with the medicinal herbs and Magic Cores sent by the Aoba Family and the Jialie Family, he had actually improved by another two stages of Dou Zhi Qi, reaching the realm of Dou Zhi Qi Stage Seven. He was already close at hand from Dou Zhi Qi Stage Eight.
At this moment, everyone in the Xiao Clan looked toward Su Garden. This forbidden area had already made the clan disciples and stewards extremely curious.
Now immortal mist coiled around it and the elements thundered. Such a scene was unprecedented in the Xiao Clan, and even in the entire Wu Tan City.
The Xiao Clan disciples came at the sound of the commotion, only to see Second Elder Xiao Ying personally leading men to keep watch. They were immediately scolded and driven away, making them even more astonished: just who lived inside? It had to be related to the person brought back by Flame Chariot a few months ago!
Could it be some top-tier expert? Looking at this commotion, perhaps it was a super expert on the level of Dou Ling or Dou Wang? If that were really the case, wouldn't the Xiao Clan be on the rise?!
But when they looked back, they saw that Second Elder Xiao Ying, who was usually strict and cold toward them, was staring into that mysterious garden with a face full of admiration, even a bit of worship.
Very soon, Xiao Zhan, the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan, the Third Elder, and the others were also alarmed, standing on the pavilion and closely watching the movements in Su Garden.
A smile spread across Xiao Zhan's face. "Is our benefactor breaking through? To think it caused such a commotion. Once the breakthrough succeeds, I must hold a banquet to celebrate for our benefactor!"
The Third Elder also agreed, "That's right. Ever since our benefactor came to our Xiao Clan, we still haven't found the time to hold a banquet. We've truly been lacking in etiquette. We should have held a grand feast long ago and invited the upper ranks of the entire Wu Tan City to come celebrate. Only that would be worthy of our benefactor's status and Heavenly Talent!"
Only the Great Elder looked this way and that, muttering inwardly:
Just what is that Stinky Kid Ning'er doing? Did he seriously write to his sister or not? I've urged him three times already. Two months have passed and she still hasn't come back. If she doesn't come back soon, Daylily is Cold!
"This Xiao Clan is becoming stranger and stranger."
"Even if a Dou Wang were breaking through, there might not necessarily be such a phenomenon, right?"
"Master Gu Ni, what do you make of the auspicious phenomenon above the Xiao Clan?"
Mitel Auction House, fifth floor.
Ya Fei had also been drawn in by that nine-colored rosy light above the Xiao Clan. All the staff of the Mitel Auction House, as well as pedestrians on the road, had stopped to gaze into the distance, looking at that auspicious cloud in utter amazement.
At this moment, an old man dressed in green robes, his face ruddy, came to Ya Fei's side.
This was the one who guarded the Mitel Auction House, and also one of the most respected figures in the entire Wu Tan City, Grade 2 Alchemist—Gu Ni.
"This kind of racing colorful cloud and mist should not appear in Wu Tan City. Phenomena of heaven and earth only appear when experts break through or when high-level alchemists refine medicine. However, it is said that only Grade 5 Pills and above can cause an obvious phenomenon of heaven and earth, and even across the entire Jia Ma Empire, there are only a few Grade 5 alchemists. It's impossible for one to appear in Wu Tan City."
"Could it be that the Xiao Clan has some hidden expert who broke through today?"
"This phenomenon has already spread to the point that half of Wu Tan City can likely see it. I fear only a Dou Ling-level, or even a Dou Wang-level expert could do this."
Gu Ni sucked in a breath of cold air. He had been in Wu Tan City for quite some time, but he had never heard of any expert above the Da Dou Shi level in Wu Tan City.
Hearing this, even Ya Fei's heart stirred. Dou Ling? A Dou Wang expert? Those were top-tier experts even across the entire Jia Ma Empire. Even in the Three Great Clans or the Misty Cloud Sect, they could hold an Elder Position.
"However, this kind of immortal and spiritual phenomenon does feel somewhat familiar to this old man. It seems that more than ten years ago... Wu Tan City once had one too. Unfortunately, this old man was unable to witness it personally, and in the end, I heard it became a tragedy." At this moment, Gu Ni sighed.
"More than ten years ago? What happened?" Ya Fei asked in doubt.
More than ten years ago, she had not yet come to Wu Tan City.
Gu Ni stroked his beard and slowly recounted what had happened back then. Ordinary people might have only a vague understanding of what had happened back then, or even no understanding at all, but he was rather clear about the birth of that Banished Immortal child.
After hearing about how the Jialie Family and the Aoba Family had once fought over a peerless child,
the mysterious youth from some days ago could not help but surface in Ya Fei's mind, and she blurted out:
"Is there any chance that child didn't die?"
The Mitel Auction House's eyes were spread across all of Wu Tan City. She already knew about the youth wearing the Rakshasa Ghost Mask instantly killing a Nine Star Dou Zhe, and killing Jialie Ao without the slightest hesitation.
This was also the strangest incident in Wu Tan City recently.
Ya Fei was a smart woman. She had long felt that the youth was anything but ordinary, and now, after hearing Gu Ni speak of the tragedy from back then in Wu Tan City, combined with the Flame Chariot the Xiao Clan had sent out several months ago to pick someone up, she was almost certain in her heart that this phenomenon was likely inseparable from that youth.
The reason he wore a mask was probably also to conceal himself from others!
"Prepare gifts. I'm going to the Xiao Clan personally."
"Young Miss? You're going to the Xiao Clan personally? Are you going to take the Xiao Clan's side?"
"I'm only going to take a look. Treat it as a visit. It may not necessarily be taking sides. However, if the Xiao Clan truly has some mysterious Dou Wang or peerless prodigy, then what harm is there in us standing with the Xiao Clan once?"
A charming smile appeared on Ya Fei's exquisite face. At the realm of Dou Zhi Qi Stage Nine, he could instantly kill a Nine Star Dou Zhe. A person like that was bound to have a great future.
She had to dig out his background, roots, heart, and all! She really wanted to see just what height this person, who had drawn two great clans into forcefully fighting over him when he was only two or three years old based solely on his bearing and looks, had reached in full!
Although Ya Fei was temporarily stationed in Wu Tan City, she herself was a direct descendant of one of the empire's Three Great Clans and had seen no small number of Young Talents. She had always refused to believe in things like love at first sight or being bewitched by looks.
Was Ya Fei the only one guessing at Su Qingyun's existence? The Clan Heads of the two great clans, Aoba Pa and Jialie Bi, had already been circling the Xiao Clan, suspecting the identity of the person the Xiao Clan had invited back several months ago. When they saw this auspicious aura appear in the sky above the Xiao Clan,
they could not tell whether this was a Pill Formation Phenomenon or a breakthrough.
But they knew that in Wu Tan City, once such a sacred, immortal-spiritual phenomenon appeared, it could only have been caused by one person! At this thought, Jialie Bi, who had already lost his beloved son, and Aoba Pa, who had been watching like a tiger eyeing its prey, could no longer sit still. Bringing their clan experts, they surrounded the Xiao Clan!
