Enthusiastic Yun Leng
"Sect Master, I have heard from your disciple that you have successfully invited Master Xiao Ming?" Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Leng Great Elder of Yunlan Sect, standing in front of several elders, asked Yun Yun.
"He's inside healing Elder Gu He right now," Yun Yun nodded.
Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare before?
Yun Yun's eyes fell on Yun Leng's fingers, where a Snow White Storage Ring was located.
"Of course, as soon as I heard the news, I took them out and rushed over."
Yun Leng said with a smile, and a flash of white light appeared in his hand, revealing several jade boxes.
These jade boxes were stacked on top of each other in Yun Leng's hands, remaining perfectly still. There were more than a dozen of them, and the quality of these jade boxes looked extraordinary.
The jade boxes were stacked very well, which showed that Yun Leng had good control over them. Of course, no one would pay attention to that; everyone's attention was mainly focused on the jade boxes in his hands.
Gu He's apprentice, Liu Ling, was quite shocked when he saw the jade box in Yun Leng's hand.
Major sects have numerous rules and regulations; even ordinary boxes used to hold items come in various levels.
The jade boxes in Yun Leng's hands were all decorated with several cloud patterns, and there were even three boxes with Seven Cloud Patterns. The Seven Cloud Patterns were only used by the Misty Cloud Sect when displaying the most precious items.
As the only Grade Six Alchemist disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, Liu Ling had only seen the six-cloud pattern a few times in the past few years, thanks to his master.
"You did a good job. When Master Xiao Ming comes out later, hand these things to Xiao Ming. Remember to be respectful; Master Xiao Ming is already Dou Zong expert, so don't offend him."
"What? Dou Zong?" Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Yun Leng and the others stared Copper Bell, their faces filled with disbelief.
Yun Leng's hands, which had been steadily supporting the jade box, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Sect Master, you... you... you must be joking, right? Dou Zong... how is this possible?" Yun Leng said in a trembling voice.
What is the concept of Dou Zong? Right now, the Jia Ma Empire doesn't have a single Dou Zong on the surface, let alone Dou Zong, there aren't even many Dou Emperors.
Xiao Ming, a Dou Zong, could practically do whatever he wanted in the Jia Ma Empire.
Of course, the Jia Ma Empire is not without Dou Zong now. At least the higher-ups of the Misty Cloud Sect know that their former Sect Master Yun Shan, is now Dou Zong.
It's just that Yun Shan has been in seclusion and hasn't shown his face.
But how old is Yun Shan? How old is Xiao Ming? The two are not comparable.
That's why Yun Leng found it unbelievable.
Not only Yun Leng, but also the faces of the elders who came to join in the fun behind him twitched rapidly.
"Sect Master, didn't you say he was Dou Emperor? The time required for each star advancement from Dou Emperor to Dou Zong is measured in years. Reaching Dou Zong in just over two years seems a bit too exaggerated, doesn't it?"
"Sect Master, I admit that Master Xiao Ming is indeed a rare genius on the Dou Qi Continent, but in the last two years Dou Zong and all that..."
Faced with the doubts of Yun Leng and the others, Yun Yun simply said, "I personally saw him arrive at our sect without Dou Qi Wings, stepping through the void."
Yun Leng and the others had nothing to say. Walking in the void without Dou Qi Wings was something only Dou Zong experts could do; this was a consensus on the Dou Qi Continent.
"If I remember correctly, Xiao Ming is the same age as the Young Sect Master, right?" Yun Leng swallowed hard.
"Indeed, she's the same age as Yan Ran," Yun Yun said with a hint of surprise.
"This..." Yun Leng and the elders murmured a few words, then fell silent in shock, their regard for Xiao Ming rising several notches.
Although, they already valued Xiao Ming a lot.
"Creak!"
The sound of the door being pushed open caused several elders and Yun Yun to turn their gazes in that direction.
Xiao Ming walked out with a faint smile on his face.
Upon seeing Xiao Ming emerge, Yun Yun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Xiao Ming, how is the situation?"
"The matter is almost resolved. I have completely removed the White Crystal from Elder Gu He's body. You can give him a Grade Five Medicinal Pill to treat his external injuries."
"Hahaha, Master Xiao Ming truly lives up to Master Xiao Ming reputation! You cured Elder Gu He's intractable illness so quickly!"
"You flatter me. But, who are you, sir?" Xiao Ming looked at Great Elder Yun Leng, who was standing in front of him with a big smile, and asked with some confusion.
Isn't this person being a bit too enthusiastic?
"Haha, it's normal that Master Xiao Ming doesn't recognize me. I am Yun Leng, the Great Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. Master Xiao Ming, you can just call me Yun Leng."
So it was you, the scapegoat!
Yun Leng simply gave her name, and Xiao Ming remembered it.
Isn't Yun Leng the guy from the original storyline who caused a ruckus at the Xiao Family without killing anyone, and was then killed by Xiao Yan using the Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus?
In other words, he was the culprit behind Xiao Yan's second visit to the Misty Cloud Sect.
However, judging from his current appearance, he probably won't dare to cause any more trouble at the Xiao Family.
Looking at Yun Leng's smiling old face, Xiao Ming nodded slightly and thought to himself.
Seeing Xiao Ming nod at him, Yun Leng's smile widened, showing no sign of being treated perfunctorily.
After all, Xiao Ming's status is that of Dou Zong and Grade Six Alchemist, while his own status is that of a mere Dou Wang, or at best, the Great Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. It's already a great favor that others are even paying attention to him. If he asks for more, then he's just being ungrateful.
Taking out the jade box that he had put away in his excitement, Yun Leng said with a smile, "This is our sect's reward for you, Master. Please check it."
"Alright." Xiao Ming didn't stand on ceremony. He casually took a jade box with Seven Cloud Patterns and opened it. Inside the box was a slightly transparent white scroll. After taking it out, Xiao Ming immersed his Soul Power into it and opened his eyes after a moment.
"I never expected your sect to possess Seventh Grade High-level Medicinal Pill Recipe. Truly befitting a sect with a long and distinguished history."
The Cultivation Method for Seventh Grade High-level Medicinal Pill Recipe is comparable to a mid-to-high- Earth Tier -rank Dou Skill. It was quite Xiao Ming that the Misty Cloud Sect had it and was willing to share it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief. The foundation of the Misty Cloud Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was actually not that strong. The reason for this was that the Misty Cloud Sect had experienced turmoil in the past, which caused it to lose more than half of its foundation. Otherwise, the Misty Cloud Sect would not have lost even the Earth Tier Dou Technique.
"I hope this item satisfies the master. Please also take a look at the other items."
In fact, a single alchemy scroll would have been enough to reimburse Xiao Ming for his services this time, since Xiao Ming hadn't expended much effort in treating Gu He.
Xiao Ming could make a huge profit, but Yun Leng and the others wanted to give him more, Xiao Ming didn't refuse, but he didn't open it again to look at it.
