Zi Yan Emerges from Seclusion

Following closely behind Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin entered the courtyard. When she saw Xiao Ming, her face showed the same look of surprise and joy as Xiao Yi Xian's.

Just as she was about to step forward, she stopped again, looking at the Xiao Yi Xian in Xiao Ming with an envious gaze.

Holding Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, Xiao Ming suddenly realized something was amiss.

Looking down, he discovered that Xiao Yi Xian's Aura was extremely powerful, even stronger than his own.

"Xian'er, you've broken through to the Dou Zong?"

"Hmm, Two-Star Dou Zong." Xiao Yi Xian gently rubbed her face against Xiao Ming's chest and looked up in response.

"Your breakthrough speed is quite fast." Xiao Ming's lips twitched, and he said with some envy. He had to work himself to the bone to capture the Fallen Heart Flame in order to break through smoothly, while this Xiao Yi Xian had broken through to a higher realm than him without making a sound, just by cultivating normally. It is conceivable how abnormal this special physique is. No wonder those big forces especially like to find talents with special physiques.

"Hmph, you know my constitution. As long as the supply of medicine is sufficient, there are no bottlenecks at all. In the past year, I have also discovered quite a few opportunities," Xiao Yi Xian laughed.

"You've been away for the past few days, did you come back from outside?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming stopped dwelling on the issue of Xiao Yi Xian's strength and focused on other points.

"That's right, Qing Lin has broken through to the Five-Star Dou Ling, so I took her out to train with others. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼 Didn't you say we should focus on practical combat?"

"Yes, you did a good job."

The two nestled together, and after exchanging a few words, Xiao Yi Xian noticed the Yao Tian Huo behind Xiao Ming.

She immediately left Xiao Ming's embrace, pointed at Yao Tian Huo, and asked with a puzzled look, "Who is this old gentleman?"

"He is a senior I met by chance in the Lava World, Venerable Tian Huo," Xiao Ming introduced, holding Xiao Yi Xian's hand.

"Venerable One?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat surprised, because in the Dou Qi Continent, only Dou Zun could be given the title of Venerable.

If Xiao Ming introduces him to her like this, doesn't that mean the old man in front of her is Dou Zun?

"Haha, young lady, don't be surprised. I am Yao Tian Huo, and I am currently only in Soul Body. I might disturb your intimacy with Xiao Ming in the future, so I apologize in advance."

Because of Xiao Ming's connection, Yao Tian Huo appeared very amiable and even cracked a joke.

A blush flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's face, then she softly murmured.

"Since Old Mister Yao was brought back by Xiao Ming, there's no question of disturbing him."

After the two greeted each other, Xiao Ming called Qing Lin over.

"Old Yao, this is Qing Lin, she is the owner of the Green Snake Three Flower Eyes."

"Qing Lin greets Venerable Tian Huo." Qing Lin greeted Yao Tian Huo politely.

"The Green Snake Three Flower Eyes? This little girl is quite lucky." Yao Tian Huo had trained on the continent for countless years and had certainly heard of this physique.

It's just unexpected that Xiao Ming is not only a prodigy, but he also has such a talented person by his side.

However, if this little girl already has a special physique, then isn't the Dou Zong in Xiao Ming the same?

Thinking of this, Yao Tian Huo asked, "This Xiao Yi Xian must also have some kind of special physique, right? Otherwise, I don't believe that anyone else could break through to the Dou Zong at such a young age, like you, Xiao Ming."

"Old Yao, you're right, Xiao Yi Xian has the Woeful Poison Body."

"The Woeful Poison Body?" Venerable Tian Huo's voice held a hint of surprise. "Heh, I never expected to see this thing twice in my life. What good luck..."

"However, after breaking through to the Dou Zong, the Woeful Poison Body is always on the verge of exploding, but your friend doesn't seem to be like that. His appearance isn't that of a white-haired, purple-haired child after the Woeful Poison Body explodes either. How strange."

"It seems that Old Mister Yao is quite knowledgeable about the Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, her heart stirring upon hearing this.

"Hehe, the Woeful Poison Body, such a great name, who among the older generation doesn't know it..." Yao Tian Huo chuckled lightly, "Of course, ordinary people can't possibly know as much as I do. Because back then, I also had a friend who possessed the Woeful Poison Body. I even created a sealing technique for him, but this seal could only be used once and could only last for a maximum of three years. After three years, I still hadn't found a way to break the Woeful Poison Body, so... sigh." As he finished speaking, Yao Tian Huo couldn't help but shake his head, appearing somewhat saddened.

After composing himself, Yao Tian Huo said, "If you need it, I can teach you the sealing technique."

"That won't be necessary. Has Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body been resolved?" Xiao Ming shook his head and said.

"Oh, how did you do that?" Yao Tian Huo was extremely surprised upon hearing this. He knew how difficult it was to deal with the Woeful Poison Body.

"Use Nether Poison Flame to control it; Nether Poison Flame can control toxins."

"I never imagined the Nether Poison Flame had such an effect. All my years playing with fire have been for nothing. If only I had discovered it back then, he wouldn't have died..."

"Don't worry about it, Old Yao. After all, you've already done your best, haven't you?" Xiao Ming comforted him.

"Hehe, you're right." Yao Tian Huo shook his head, then said, "Since your little girlfriend has the Woeful Poison Body, then I'll help him find a successor. I have four Earth Tier Dou Technique he left behind in my Na Ring; I'll give them to you."

As he spoke, a flash of white light appeared in Yao Tian Huo's hand, revealing a purple scroll.

Then he looked at Qing Lin beside him, took out a blue ring, and gently touched it with his finger.

"I obtained this ring from the Dou Sheng Ruins. It has the effect of calming the mind and accelerating cultivation. This thing is useless to me now, so I'm giving it to you, little Qing Lin."

The gifts from Venerable Tian Huo were undoubtedly of very high quality. With Xiao Ming's nod, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin thanked Venerable Tian Huo and accepted his gifts.

"Alright, now that you've gotten to the point, I won't disturb your reunion any longer," Yao Tian Huo said with a slight smile, then, carrying his Snow White Storage Ring, returned to Xiao Ming's room.

After Yao Tian Huo returned to Xiao Ming's room, Xiao Ming had a good chat with Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian.

Another day passed, and Xiao Ming returned from the Outer Academy after visiting his teacher Elder Huo. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he felt the entire courtyard suddenly tremble violently!

The sudden tremor startled Xiao Ming, and he immediately turned his gaze downwards, only to see that Zi Yan's room was filled with a brilliant purple light.

"Is he about to successfully advance?" Looking at this sudden scene, Xiao Ming smiled.

Sensing the commotion, Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yao Tian Huo all appeared in the courtyard.

"Xiao Ming, is Zi Yan about to come out?" Xiao Yi Xian was pleasantly surprised as she looked at the light coming from Zi Yan's room.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, then walked into Zi Yan's room, with Xiao Yi Xian following closely behind.

Yao Tian Huo and Qing Lin exchanged a glance, but instead of going in, they waited outside.
