Journey to the Imperial Capital

In the following days, just as Xiao Ming had predicted, all sorts of forces came to his door seeking an audience.

Some people, who considered themselves exceptionally talented, wanted to come and become his apprentices.

There are wealthy individuals who wish to come to us seeking elixirs.

There are also those who simply want to visit and build a good relationship.

In short, there were all sorts of people, and the Xiao Family politely persuaded them to leave. The excuse was naturally given by Xiao Ming: he was busy refining medicine and didn't have time.

Of course, the Xiao Family didn't drive away everyone. For example, they didn't drive away the members of the Xiao Family Imperial Family of the Jia Ma Empire, since the family still needed to develop in the Jia Ma Empire.

However, in the end, the envoy from the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family still did not see Xiao Ming, because Xiao Ming he was refining medicine, and that's because he really was refining medicine.

That was crafted for the son of the Amethyst Winged Lion King; it was Fifth Rank Emerald Dew.

Previously, Zi Yan stole the Companion Amethyst Source of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It would have been fine if they hadn't known each other before, but now the Amethyst Winged Lion King has been their mount for almost two years.

Even if he didn't achieve great things, he still put in a lot of effort, and Xiao Ming always felt a little embarrassed whenever he thought about it.

However, returning the Companion Amethyst Source was impossible, because he and Zi Yan had already divided it equally.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures fall into Zi Yan's hands, they usually don't last more than a few days.

Xiao Ming still had the Companion Amethyst Source in his possession, but he barely touched it.

However, half of the Companion Amethyst Source was not very effective, so Xiao Ming used the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, combined with some medicinal herbs, to refine Fifth Rank Emerald Dew Liquid for the son of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Although Emerald Dew Liquid cannot compare to the corresponding Companion Amethyst Source, it is not much different and has a certain effect of increasing potential, so it is not bad.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was naturally very pleased with this, and roared for quite a while in the back mountain of the Xiao Family.

Besides that, there's the issue of how to prepare the Emperor's Flowing Sap. Xiao Ming searched through many Pill Formulas, but he couldn't find any pills containing the Emperor's Flowing Sap. This might be related to the fact that the Emperor's Flowing Sap is extremely rare.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming had no choice but to prepare the Pill Formula himself.

However, preparing the Pill Formula was not an easy task. It took Xiao Ming a lot of brainpower to come up with some ideas, and it would take a lot more time to complete it.

After Xiao Ming finished refining the Emerald Dew Liquid, Xiao Shan returned to the Xiao Family.

He was very happy to see Xiao Ming, and then invited Xiao Ming to his home for a meal.

During this time, Xiao Shan also introduced his wife to Xiao Ming.

That's right, Xiao Shan is already married. They got married the same year Xiao Ming broke through to the Dou Zong during his seclusion.

Judging by his age, Xiao Shan is already twenty-seven years old. In the Dou Qi Continent, where sixteen is the age of adulthood, getting married at this age is actually considered late.

Xiao Shan's identity Dou Ling meant he had no shortage of female suitors in Wu Tan City. Furthermore, according to him, his parents had been pressuring him to get married, and since he had just met someone he liked, he decided to marry her.

The woman was not particularly beautiful, but she was dignified and virtuous, and she was already pregnant.

Xiao Ming offered his congratulations and also presented a belated wedding gift.

After a few quiet days, Xiao Zhan came knocking on the door.

"Clan Leader, just say what's on your mind." Seeing Xiao Zhan hesitate, Xiao Ming frowned and said directly.

In fact, Xiao Zhan Xiao Ming already knew why Xiao Zhan had come to visit; it was simply about Xiao Yan.

Sure enough, urged by Xiao Ming, Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth and revealed his purpose.

"Supreme Elder, you know that Xiao Yan made Three-Year Agreement with the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. Although his talent has returned and his cultivation speed is comparable to yours back then, I'm afraid he still can't defeat Na Lan Yan Ran Yan'er, the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect."

Comparable to me back then? Xiao Ming pursed his lips. Back then, he didn't have the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid that Old Man Yao used to soak in.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming, "Clan Leader, Xiao Yan can't win, so there's nothing I can do, right? After all, this is just a bet between the two of them. Besides, regardless of the outcome, as long as Xiao Yan doesn't have any other major grudges with the Misty Cloud Sect, they won't do anything to him out of respect for me."

It's not that Xiao Ming is making excuses. Just like how the Xiao Family is developing by relying on his name, if Xiao Yan says outside that he is a member of the Xiao Family of Wu Tan City, even if others don't believe him, not many people will provoke him.

Wait, it's also possible that some people are influenced by his protagonist halo and then lower their intelligence to criticize him, Xiao Ming thought uncertainly.

Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, then sighed.

How could he not know what Xiao Ming was saying? But, no one knows a son better than his father; how could he not know his son's personality?

He was afraid that his son would get into a bad mood and say something pretentious like "life and death are up to fate."

After all, Xiao Yan liked to show off when he was a child.

If Xiao Ming knew what Xiao Zhan was thinking at this moment, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.

In the original story, Xiao Yan actually said that life and death are left to fate, and Xiao Zhan really understood his son quite well.

"Sigh, I don't want you to do anything, Supreme Elder. I know the Ice Emperor of the Mittel Family invited you to the Imperial Capital. You just need to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to watch Yan'er's battle." Xiao Zhan's tone contained a hint of pleading.

It must be said that Xiao Zhan is indeed good to his son.

He had previously misappropriated a significant amount of family assets for Xiao Yan's sake, which was the reason for the escalation of his conflict with the three elders.

Now they can swallow their pride and beg Xiao Ming for help.

However, Xiao Zhan may be a good father, but his embezzlement of public funds alone proves that he is not a good Clan Leader.

Xiao Zhan's tone made Xiao Ming sigh. To be honest, when they were looking for Qing Lin in Desert City, Xiao Yan's second brother's tone made him unhappy.

This is a family matter, and even if they are from the same family, getting involved will not bring them any good.

If he doesn't do well, he might get blamed and made to feel like he owes someone something.

If he really owes anything, he has already paid back everything he left to the Xiao Family over the years.

Xiao Zhan was more sensible than his second son, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Ming at all.

So she used a pleading tone to ask Xiao Ming to take a look, while also mentioning that Xiao Yan's Cultivation Talent was quite good.

Of course, no compensation was mentioned, because Xiao Ming would certainly not care about compensation, and mentioning it would only be an insult to Xiao Ming.

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

Going to the Misty Cloud Sect was something Xiao Ming had decided long ago, and he was going no matter whether Xiao Zhan begged him or not.

Furthermore, Xiao Ming absolutely must obtain the Body Refining Method.

Xiao Yan was determined to meet him no matter what.

As for protecting Xiao Yan? Just look at the two Peak Dou Emperors of the Snake People Race in the Simulator, and then look at Old Man Yao. As long as Xiao Yan doesn't court death, who can stop him?

Xiao Zhan left satisfied. The next day, Xiao Ming took Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian directly to the Imperial Capital.
