Xiao Yuan's Far-Reaching Fame

"Thanks to Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan for saving my Yao Clan from dire straits, Yao Dan, on behalf of the entire Yao Clan, expresses our gratitude to Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan for saving our lives! As for Yao Tian and Yao Ling, if Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan wishes, you may keep them by your side and use them at will. As for the Yao Clan's Clan Monument, it shall be kept by Yao Sheng. Yao Sheng may also arrange the tombs of Yao Sheng's parents as he sees fit."

The Yao Dan flew up from below and bowed to Xiao Yuan, saying...

"Oh? You're willing to do that?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Yao Dan could only shake his head with a wry smile and then said, "They are just two geniuses of this generation. If it weren't for Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan today, the entire Yao Clan would have been wiped out. At that time, I might even have to thank Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan for preserving a trace of my Yao Clan's bloodline after I die. Moreover, being able to follow a powerful figure like the Young Clan Leader is a blessing for them. Even if they are not in the Yao Clan, they are still considered members of my Yao Clan. In fact, my Yao Clan has the advantage."

"Oh, you're much clearer-headed now. Don't tell me one day that I killed someone from your Yao Clan and that you're going to cause me trouble."

Xiao Yuan shrugged noncommittally and said indifferently.

"How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Dan broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had known earlier that Xiao Yuan possessed such strength, he would never have allowed Yao Wangui. But there's no use saying these things now. It doesn't matter if he lowers his attitude and throws away some of his dignity.

As the clan leader, he had to shoulder this responsibility.

"Alright, what's the point of keeping a stick around? I'll bring Yao Tian back to you. As for Yao Ling, that girl's bloodline is a bit special, right? I have some use for her. Don't worry, I'm not a beast of the Soul Clan, I won't hurt her. Perhaps this is her opportunity."

Xiao Yuan wasn't particularly impressed with Yao Tian's alchemy skills.

To be fair, if he hadn't been born into the Yao Clan, with a noble status and access to many resources, Yao Tian would have been lucky, but at most, he would have reached the Peak Eighth Grade Alchemist and perhaps even touched the threshold of the Ninth Grade Alchemist.

Of course, he might not live to see that day.

That's so stupid! They're just flowers under racial protection.

Not to mention the several commanders of the Ancient Clan.

In terms of temperament, Yao Tian is not as good as Xiao Yuan's little apprentice You Quan! Don't be fooled by the rebellious thoughts that You Quan has in his little head. In the Central State, he is a genius with both talent and temperament.

If nothing unexpected happens, You Quan will be the future master of the Starfall Pavilion.

Yao Dan didn't really believe what Xiao Yuan said.

Throughout Central State, Xiao Yuan was undoubtedly the most notorious womanizer. Several times, he had caused the massacre of entire families because of women. Putting aside Yao Ling's special bloodline, among the younger generation of the Yao Clan, Yao Ling was God Tier figure. Countless prodigies longed to have a chance to be intimate with her. To say that Xiao Yuan had no other thoughts? Yao Dan certainly didn't believe it.

But what he thought in his heart, he certainly couldn't say to his face. Besides, Xiao Yuan had already given a special explanation. If he were to be ungrateful and say more nonsense, the Yao Clan Chief would probably have to be replaced. So he smiled and said:

"This matter is entirely up to Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan to decide."

Seeing the former clan leader so humble in front of his disciple, Yao Lao was filled with emotion, but he said nothing.

The Yao Clan is a thing of the past for him.

It was already a favor that he managed to save the two juniors, Yao Tian and Yao Ling. Otherwise, given Xiao Yuan's identity and strength, it would have been fine for the young girl Yao Ling, but the insolent Yao Tian would probably have been obliterated along with his soul.

The fact that Xiao Yuan is now letting him return to the Yao Clan alive is already a testament to his great compassion.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Xiao Yuan tore through space and grabbed two figures from it: Yao Tian and Yao Ling.

The two of them now had somewhat complicated expressions.

In fact, everything that had just happened was projected by Xiao Yuan using Dou Qi light screen for them to watch in real time.

They had seen the decision regarding their decision to stay or leave.

Now that things have come to this, they have no way to object to or express any dissatisfaction with Xiao Yuan's decision.

Their time at the Starfall Pavilion was not difficult.

The cultivation supplies and medicine materials are all provided.

Aside from not being able to leave the Starfall Pavilion, there are no problems at all.

They were initially furious and humiliated when they saw Xiao Yuan arrogantly killing Yao Wangui and his Yao Clan.

However, his subsequent act of saving his entire clan single-handedly earned their complete respect.

What else can they say?

Despite repeatedly provoking such a powerful figure, the fact that the other party didn't take their anger out on the entire Yao Clan is already a testament to their good temper, not to mention that they even saved the entire Yao Clan.

Even if Xiao Yuan didn't say anything, Yao Ling Xiao Yuan feel that she should stay by Xiao Yuan's side, let alone needing Yao Ling's help.

On one hand, Xiao Yuan is incomparably handsome and incredibly powerful. Judging from his soul power, his alchemy skills are probably also terrifying, perfectly matching all of the Yao Ling's fantasies about his other half.

On one hand, Yao Ling knew that her brother had said something he shouldn't have before. Xiao Yuan was willing to let her go back, but he specifically asked her to stay, saying that he needed help. But helping to have a child was still helping, and it wasn't a bad thing anyway. What would happen if she agreed?

It's just a matter of whether those older sisters are easy to get along with. Anyway, they don't seem to be bad people. Yao Ling's increasingly distorted thinking is something no one can know, but she consciously stood behind Xiao Yuan, looking like a meek little maid. This really made some people in the Yao Clan who wanted to speak up for her unable to open their mouths.

Even if the girl had objections to the arrangement, there was nothing they could do. But seeing Yao Ling accept it like that still made them feel quite bad.

Their goddess seemed to have already taken someone else's form. Yao Tian opened his mouth, watching his younger sister "willingly" sacrifice herself to gain the opportunity to return to her tribe, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, he simply came to the Yao Lao's side, knelt down in the void, kowtowed and admitted his mistake. "Senior Yao Chen, I was ignorant before and offended you in many ways. It is my blessing that you can forgive me. In front of the clansmen, I kowtow and apologize!"

Bang bang bang! "Sigh, get up."

The Yao Lao didn't help him up; he just sighed, feeling somewhat bored.

In fact, he understood Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan's reluctance to make a move just now was not entirely due to preparations. In fact, he deliberately wanted the Yao Clan to experience the fear of being wiped out.

Only when they truly feel pain and fear will they be grateful for your help and realize how wrong they were before.

How despicable! "Young Clan Leader, I entrust my sister to you. Do not betray her, or I will seek justice for her even if it means my death."

Immediately afterwards, Yao Tian approached Xiao Yuan and solemnly said...

But as soon as the second half of the sentence was uttered, the expressions of Yao Ling, Yao Dan, and the Yao Clan all changed.

Are you an idiot?

Can you just say something like this outright? And threaten them? Are you out of your mind?! Xiao Yuan was taken aback by what he heard.

Not a buddy? Are you mistaken?

"Young Clan Leader, my brother didn't mean anything by it, please don't be angry."

Yao Ling's face turned pale, and she quickly stepped forward to hug Xiao Yuan's arm, hoping to use her softness to dispel Xiao Yuan's murderous intent.

Xiao Yuan finally realized that these bastards from the Yao Clan actually thought he was after the Yao Ling?

Damn it! Xiao Yuan's arm jerked, sending the soft, delicate girl's body staggering back two steps. Then, he flashed forward and kicked Yao Tian in the buttocks, sending him flying into a Yao Tian Medicine Field.

"Bullshit! If I really wanted Yao Ling to accompany me, would I need to beat around the bush with you guys? Where the hell do you have the nerve?"

Xiao Yuan's cursing echoed across the sky.

Now the Yao Clan who had previously wanted to speak up for Yao Ling are even more upset—the goddess is willing to be a concubine, but no one even wants her!

This is so humiliating!

"And you, keep your distance from me!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan rebuked Yao Ling again, but his tone was filled with helplessness.

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao exchanged a glance upon seeing this, almost unable to hold back their laughter, but they managed to suppress it for the sake of their disciple/ Third Brother's face.

"Oh"

Yao Ling realized that Xiao Yuan didn't have that intention, and felt somewhat disappointed, but she couldn't show it, so she could only continue to play the role of an obedient maid.

"Forget it, I can't talk to a person with such filthy minds!" Xiao Yuan sighed, then looked at the Yao Dan, "Are you still going to publish your Medicine Ceremony?"

Yao Dan clearly hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to still be thinking about the Medicine Ceremony at this point. After a moment's hesitation, realizing Xiao Yuan's subtext, he quickly replied, "Of course, the Medicine Ceremony was interrupted by an accident earlier, so we couldn't witness the Young Clan Leader's prowess. Speaking of which, we've long heard about the Young Clan Leader leader's alchemy skills. Why don't we ask the Young Clan Leader to start refining medicine and bring good luck?"

"Hehe, my alchemy takes a lot of energy. You should start compiling the Medicine Ceremony first."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and shook his head.

If he were to actually make a move, it would likely discourage the Yao Clan members so much that they would lose the courage to even attempt to refine medicine.

"Alright, then please wait a moment, Young Clan Leader. I will preside over the Medicine Ceremony."

Yao Dan nodded and then made arrangements for continuing the Medicine Ceremony event.

Many forces in Central State didn't really want to stay with the Yao Clan, but since Xiao Yuan was here, they didn't dare to leave and could only "voluntarily" stay.

After cleaning up the mess from the great battle and reorganizing the area, Yao Dan gave an order to begin the most unique Medicine Ceremony in the history of the Yao Clan.

The Yao Clan, which originated from alchemy, possesses the largest group of alchemists on the continent. Although the Yao Clan may be somewhat arrogant when facing alchemists from the Central State, it must be said that this arrogance is backed by its own resources.

Perhaps due to their bloodline, the members of the Yao Clan are exceptionally adept at alchemy. Moreover, there are many individuals in the clan with outstanding cultivation talents. Therefore, alchemy masters who are quite famous in the Central State are not uncommon in the Yao Clan, but they are certainly quite common. With such talent, it is inevitable that they feel a bit arrogant when compared with other alchemists.

Of course, this only refers to the middle level of the alchemist class. Compared to other parts of the alchemist pyramid, the Yao Clan has not gained a significant advantage. After all, while their bloodline power makes them adept at alchemy, relying solely on it is not enough to reach the pinnacle of the Medicine Realm. Sometimes, this talent can even become an obstacle to their advancement to the top.

This might be considered a slight drawback of the power of bloodline.

For most of the people present, especially the forces from Central State, the prelude to the Medicine Ceremony was quite entertaining. The younger generation of the Yao Clan indeed possessed talents that ordinary alchemists would envy. Those who went on stage were all at least Sixth Grade Alchemist or even higher. The sight of the many cauldrons rising was quite spectacular. Compared to the small-scale Alchemist Convention of the Jia Ma Empire, these young people from the Yao Clan were clearly all at the level of the so-called Pill King Gu He at the same age.

Of course, for Xiao Yuan and the others, this level of alchemy was like a group of adults watching children fight; there was nothing for them to observe. So while the entire square was filled with the sight of the pills being produced, they could only close their eyes and rest.

This prelude of the Medicine Ceremony lasted for several days before gradually coming to an end. Fortunately, those present were not ordinary people; many of them did not even move an inch during those days.

As the prelude to the Medicine Ceremony came to an end, Xiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the young people among the Yao Clan. He nodded slightly. From his observations over the past few days, he had seen the strength of the Yao Clan. Many of the young people possessed extremely high talent, and if they had good fortune in the future, they could have a place in the Medicine Realm. With such excellent fresh blood, the Yao Clan was able to continue to thrive.

Of course, there are limits to this. As time goes by, if no more Dou Di experts appear in the Yao Clan, their bloodline power will gradually wither away, just like the Xiao Clan. At that time, the Yao Clan may no longer be any different from ordinary humans.

Of course, that time will come, but it's still a long way off, so thinking about it now is just worrying unnecessarily.

During his observation over the past few days, Xiao Yuan also saw some familiar figures. He also discovered Xiao Yuan, who had given him the invitation to the Yao Xingji Medicine Ceremony. After several years of cultivation, Yao Xingji's alchemy skills had greatly improved. He had even made it into the top five at this Medicine Ceremony Conference, which was a good result. As for the first place, it was no surprise that it was Yao Tian who won. He was the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Yao Clan. He had not neglected his alchemy skills in the Starfall Pavilion. The pills he refined actually attracted Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning, overpowering all the others. Even some elders of the Yao Clan were all smiles.

However, when their gaze inadvertently fell upon Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, who were resting with their eyes closed beside Yao Lao, their smug smiles vanished instantly, replaced by deep frustration. They had long heard the rumors that these two were already capable of refining Rank 9 Pill, and the pill lightning they attracted was a far superior form of Black Demon Lightning. Compared to it, Yao Tian's Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning seemed rather dim and insignificant.

Moreover, Yao Ling, who was originally able to rival Yao Tian, was now standing beside Xiao Yuan like a maid, occasionally adding tea and water.

However, they were helpless about this. After all, Xiao Yuan had done a great favor for the Yao Clan and had not made any particularly excessive demands. In fact, if Yao Ling could return to the Yao Clan as Xiao Yuan's other half one day, it would be more beneficial for the Yao Clan.
