Only two miles away from the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain, there are 50,000 cavalry stationed by the empire. Although they are called to guard the capital, anyone can see that these are the rulers of the empire, guarding against this tiger approaching the capital.
Cloud Mist Sect The top of the back mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
On a protruding black rock at the edge of the cliff, a woman in a moon-white dress is forming a spiritual knot with her hands and practicing with her eyes closed. As she exhales and inhales, a perfect cycle is formed. During each cycle, the surrounding energy-rich air will exude light cyan airflow. The airflow hovers around the woman's body and is continuously absorbed into the body, refining and storing...
When the last ray of green air was sucked into the woman's body, she slowly opened her eyes. A faint green light passed through her eyes, and the green silk of her shawl automatically flew slightly without wind in an instant.
"Sister Nalan, the old man from Nalan Su is here at the Cloud Mist Sect. He asked you to go see him."
Seeing that the woman had exited the cultivation state, a maid who had been waiting here hurriedly said respectfully.
"Father? What is he doing here?"
Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly, shook her head in confusion, stood up gracefully, and stood on the edge of the cliff. The oncoming breeze blew the moon-white dress tightly against the woman's exquisite body, making it look uneven and extremely attractive.
Looking lazily at the bottom of the bottomless cliff, the woman's jade hands lightly brushed Fuyue's white dress, and then turned around and left her dedicated training place.
In the spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face was holding a teacup, and his palms on the table were tapping the table irritably.
Nalan Su is very irritable now because he was almost beaten Cloud Mist Sect by his father Nalan Jie.
He didn't expect that he had only led his troops to station in the western part of the empire for a year, but his bold daughter would dare to privately push back the marriage that the old man had arranged for himself.
In the family, who doesn't know that Nalan Jie is extremely concerned about face, and Nalan Yanran's current behavior will undoubtedly make others say that he, Nalan Family, saw that Xiao Family's power was weakening and disdained to marry him, so he broke his promise and abandoned it.
Such gossip made Nalan Jie furious at home every day. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move, he might have dragged his dying body to climb Cloud Mist Mountain.
Regarding the marriage between the Nalan Family and Xiao Family, to be honest, Nalan Su is not very in favor of it. After all, Xiao Yan was almost synonymous with trash. To ask him to marry his daughter, who is the best choice for appearance and cultivation talent, to a trash, Nalan Su is really reluctant.
However, that was the beginning. According to the information he received, the boy Xiao Family has not only lost his reputation as a loser, but his cultivation speed is almost even more terrifying than when he was at his peak as a child.
Moreover, the latest news shows that that boy is already a seven-star Dou King!
This is even more powerful than his Laozi and Nalan Jie!
If this continues, Xiao Yan may become the first Dou Zong strongman of the Canaan Empire!
The potential shown by Xiao Yan at this time was undoubtedly able to attract Nalan Su's attention. However, Nalan Yanran's private actions turned the relationship between the two parties into a cold deadlock, which made Nalan Su extremely embarrassed.
If this relationship continues, maybe Nalan Su will not only lose a son-in-law with unlimited potential and has become a strong man, but it may also make him resent Nalan Family.
Just thinking that a strong man who has the opportunity to become Dou Huang in the future may be hostile to the Nalan Family, Nalan Su is so scared that he jumps in anger.
"This girl is getting more and more courageous now..."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The tea cup in Nalan Su's hand suddenly stomped heavily on the table, and the tea splashed all over the table. The maid waiting on the side was startled, and she hurriedly and carefully changed to another cup.
"Father, why didn't you inform Yan'er when you came to the Cloud Mist Sect?"
Just when Nalan Su was getting angry, the woman's clear voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and the moon-white figure slowly walked out from the gauze curtain and smiled sweetly at Nalan Su.
"Huh, you still have me as your father in your eyes? I thought you became Yun Yun's disciple, so you don't know what Nalan Family is!" Looking at his daughter who was getting better and better, Nalan Su's anger subsided a little, and he snorted coldly.
Looking at Nalan Su's unhappy expression, Nalan Yanran shook his head helplessly, waved to the maid on the side, and sent her away.
"Father, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I scolded Yan'er when I came back. I will definitely tell my mother when I go back next time!" After the maid left, Nalan Yanran wrinkled her pretty nose, sat down next to Nalan Su, and hummed coquettishly.
"Go back? Do you still dare to go back?" Hearing this, Nalan Su's mouth cracked. "If you dare to go back, let's see if your grandfather dares to break your legs!"
Nalan Yanran curled his lips and knew the meaning of Nalan Su's words.
"You should know the purpose of my coming here, right?"
After taking a deep sip of tea, Nalan Su said with a gloomy face.
"Is it because I regret my marriage?"
Playing with a strand of black hair with her delicate hands, Nalan Yanran said calmly.
Seeing Nalan Yanran's calm appearance, Nalan Su was immediately angry. He slapped his palms heavily on the table and said angrily, "Your grandfather personally agreed to the marriage back then. Who asked you to cancel it?"
"That's my marriage. I don't want to marry anyone according to your wishes. I will make the decision on my own affairs! I don't care who gave the permission, I only know that if it is agreed, it will be me, not grandpa, who will marry you!" Nalan Yanran also looked unhappy when she mentioned this matter. She has a somewhat independent temperament and hates it when her important affairs follow the route designated by others, even if this person is her elder.
"Don't think I don't know. You just thought that Xiao Yan was a loser and wasn't good enough for you, right? But now his potential far exceeds yours. The sixteen-year-old Dou King is a strong man. Where can you find such a talented husband?!" Nalan Su said angrily.
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, and the dull-looking young man from back then appeared in his mind. His red lips pursed slightly, and he said calmly, "I did hear some news about him, but I didn't expect that he has become a strong man. This really surprises me. But, what does this have to do with me?!"
"Accident? Just an accident? Your grandfather has spoken and asked you to find time to go to Wutan City again. It would be best to apologize and relax the tense relationship." Nalan Su frowned.
"Apologise? Impossible!"
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran Liu Mei stood up and refused without hesitation. He snorted coldly, "Even if he Xiao Yan is a strong Dou Emperor man now, I Nalan Yanran still won't marry him! Not to mention asking me to apologize. If you like it, then go by yourself. Anyway, I won't go to Wutan City again!"
"There's no room for you to refuse! It's you who caused the trouble, you must go and settle it for me!" Seeing Nalan Yanran refusing, Nalan Su suddenly became furious.
"Don't go!"
With a cold face, Nalan Yanran raised her snow-white chin, with a hint of innate elegance and stubbornness on her cheeks. "I, Nalan Yanran, will only marry the person I love and love, and no one can shake me from this!"
Being made so noisy by his daughter in front of him, Nalan Su was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He suddenly stood up and raised his palm to slap Nalan Yanran down.
"Brother Nalan, please don't mess around." Looking at Nalan Su's movements, a white shadow hurriedly rushed in and blocked Nalan Yanran.
"Ge Ye, you bastard, I heard that the last time I went to the Xiao Family, you were the one accompanying Yanran?" Looking at the figure in front of him, Nalan Su became even more angry and said angrily.
Smiling awkwardly, Ge Ye said with a bitter smile, "This is the sect master's intention, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Hearing the word "sect master", Nalan Su's anger subsided slightly, but there was still a lot of resentment in his heart. After all, anyone who suddenly lost a son-in-law with great potential and gained an enemy with great potential would not be in a better mood.
"Haha, brother Nalan, don't be anxious. We've already done this. It's useless to say anything now. And even if you ask Yanran to apologize, it won't be able to make up for the relationship between the two families. Why bother asking for trouble again?" Ge Ye said with a smile. "As for the enemy? I have also met that little friend Xiao Yan. He is an open-minded person. He has no intention of being hostile to the Nalan Family or Cloud Mist Sect. Brother Nalan, please rest assured."
Seeing what Ge Ye said, Nalan Su waved his hand impatiently, looking at Nalan Yanran who was hiding behind Ge Ye with a still stubborn face. De stomped his feet helplessly and said angrily, "Forget it, I don't care about you. From now on, you can marry whoever you want! Don't tell you that Nalan Family has anything to do with it. I can't afford to embarrass this person." After that, he left the hall full of resentment.
Looking at the back that disappeared at the end of his sight, Ge Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at Nalan Yanran who also had a helpless face, sighed and said, "I really didn't expect... that little guy Xiao Family actually got up."
"Just crawl..." Nalan Yanran sat on the chair and said indifferently.
Before the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the small town closest to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The name of the town is Qingshan Town. Because it is close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it is also called Magical Beast Town. The largest group of people in the town are naturally the mercenaries who are fighting for their lives all day long. They are in groups, holding each other's arms, frothing at the street, and unscrupulously discussing which women in the town are the most delicious, where the wine is the strongest, and where the monsters are the most ferocious...
Walking on the street paved with bluestone, Xiao Yan, who was carrying a huge sword that was not proportionate to his size, naturally attracted a lot of strange looks, but he ignored them and looked extremely casual. Walking slowly along the street.
"Now, sister Ya Fei must have received my letter and go to the Jia Ma Empire Imperial Capital Family Headquarters to start practicing with concentration."
"I'm really looking forward to the changes in sister Ya Fei when we meet at the Mittel Family next time."
While thinking this in his mind, the realization of Xiao Yan also did not forget to look around.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and because of the favorable location, they are quite popular. Xiao Yan glanced at the brightly lit shops with interest. When his eyes fell on a rather spacious medicinal shop, he stopped. After thinking for a while, he walked into the famous medicinal shop named "Myriad Medicine Hall".
Xiao Yan doesn't have much interest in weapons and armor. Originally, he might have been very interested in various rare medicinal materials. But now, he can rub elixirs with his bare hands. Except for some extremely special medicinal materials, Xiao Yan is not interested in other medicinal materials at all.
At this moment, the reason why he is staring at the pharmacy in front of him is that the most important thing is still someone in the pharmacy in front of him, because she is one of his regrets in the future and must be resolved.
Walking into the spacious store, the moonstone hanging on the wall illuminated the store like daylight. At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the store, and the clerks were extremely busy, so no one greeted Xiao Yan who just came in.
No one greeted him, Xiao Yan was happy to be quiet, his eyes slowly swept across the transparent counter,
Just when Xiao Yan was about to return home, the corner of his eyes that flickered randomly suddenly stopped.
Looking through the transparent counter, Xiao Yan stared at a light yellow block in the corner. After a while, he licked his lips, walked into the counter casually, lowered his head, and looked at the light yellow object again.
"Ahem... please help me take this thing out."
Xiao Yan raised his head and smiled at a male clerk who came over.
The young clerk who was stopped glanced sideways at the ordinary Xiao Yan, and then at the item he requested. After discovering that it was just a piece of the lowest-grade Yellow Lotus Essence, he curled his lips impatiently, and took it out from the counter with a stiff face. "Yellow Lotus Essence, low-grade medicinal material, one hundred gold coins."
Not caring about the clerk's condescending attitude, Xiao Yan sneered in his heart, and casually took the piece of Yellow Lotus Essence, which was considered to be the lowest grade. He lightly scratched it with his fingernails, and opened the slightly yellowed surface a little, revealing a little bit. As bright red as blood, looking at the invisible bright red, the corners of Xiao Yan's eyes twitched slightly, and then he touched his nose without any trace, and took a deep sniff of the strange and bloody smell on his fingers. Suddenly, deep in his eyes, a strange color could not help but dance.
"Sure enough, that's it, Blood Lotus Essence!"
Blood Lotus Essence is an extremely rare high-grade medicinal material. This medicinal material usually grows together with Yellow Lotus Essence, but the quantity is extremely rare. Its appearance is almost identical to Yellow Lotus Essence. If you are not familiar with it, it will be difficult to distinguish the two.
