All Settled

As Yun Yun finished speaking, Lin Ming didn't mince words and spoke directly.

"I, Lin Ming, am a man of principle, clear about gratitude and resentment! I once asked you for help, so this time I'm returning the favor!"

Seeing the bewildered expressions on Yun Yun and her disciples' faces, Lin Ming spoke again, "I won't bring up the past. Let's talk about the matter of your Misty Cloud Sect. Put aside your personal grudges and think carefully. Besides losing the name of the Misty Cloud Sect, what have you lost?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran immediately frowned and began to ponder.

After a moment, Lin Ming continued, "There are no other losses, right? If we were to compensate according to those people's standards, even if you came several more times, the Misty Cloud Sect wouldn't be able to afford it. But for now, your belongings are still yours. After disbanding, distribute these things to the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect so they can continue their cultivation."

"Furthermore, our Jia Ma Empire is really too small. You can see from this battle that with your strength, you are completely of no help. Yun Yun, haven't you ever thought about leaving the Jia Ma Empire, leaving this Northwestern Region, and going to the prosperous central region to see what it's like there?"

"Now that you're not burdened by the sect, you finally have time to be yourself!"

"If you decide to go out, I suggest you go to the Flower Sect!"

Watching the young man's departing figure, with only his last words still lingering in the hall and striking her mind, Yun Yun was momentarily stunned.

Inside the main hall of the Mittel Family, Lin Ming and his companions, having returned to the family, once again entered the hall.

Inside the main hall, everyone gathered again. Looking at Elder Hai, Great Elder Teng Shan, Grandpa Liu, and Master Toso, Lin Ming said, "The matter of the Misty Cloud Sect has come to an end. After Elder Yao finishes refining that Fierce Soul, I will go to find the traces of that Barbarian Dou Ancestor."

Watching Lin Ming about to leave again, Grandpa Liu, like any grandfather, said with some words of advice, "Lin Ming, you've always been independent since you were little, and now your abilities far surpass mine. There's nothing more I can do to help you. All I can do is remind you to be careful when you go out!"

Grandpa Liu's words of advice warmed Lin Ming's heart, and he replied gently, "Grandpa Liu, don't worry, I understand."

Great Elder Teng Shan reassured Lin Ming, saying, "Lin Ming, now that you've made up your mind, just go for it! We old folks are still here in the family, so don't worry!"

Nodding, Lin Ming conjured a list in Lin Ming hand with a thought.

"Elder Hai, Master Toso, this list contains some items I've compiled over the past two days that I need. Use the resources of your clans to search for them as much as possible! When I return, I'll refine these into Pill Formation, and the clan's strength should see a significant boost."

As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Master Toso immediately took the list from Lin Ming's hand and began to look at it seriously.

Inside the main hall, after Lin Ming and the elders each gave their instructions, the family meeting finally came to an end.

That evening, in a room, a cauldron formed from condensed flames stood tall. At this moment, a young man and a somewhat ethereal figure were standing before this fiery cauldron.

The two people in front of the cauldron were naturally Lin Ming and Elder Yao. At this moment, both of them turned their gazes to the cauldron.

Under their gaze, the last wisp of the viscous black mist inside the cauldron vanished completely, leaving only a wisp of Chaos gas suspended in the center of the cauldron.

Looking at this mass of gas, Lin Ming sensed an extremely rich Soul Power contained within it.

Elder Yao also looked at the invisible and colorless gas inside the fire cauldron, and his joy was immediately evident as he smiled.

"Haha, I finally succeeded in refining it!"

With a laugh, Elder Yao immediately turned his hand slightly, and the fire cauldron collapsed on its own. Seeing this, Lin Ming also reached out, and the invisible flame that had been regenerated after the fire cauldron collapsed immediately came to Lin Ming's front, and then Lin Ming swallowed it in one gulp, as if it were candy.

Without the fire cauldron to restrain it, the Soul Power that had been refined was immediately drawn down to Elder Yao's front. Then, as if sucking on something, Elder Yao directly absorbed all of this Soul Power into his body.

After taking a drag, Elder Yao shivered instantly; his expression must have been one of extreme pleasure!

After a long while, Elder Yao finally recovered from his daze, and then laughed heartily again, saying, "Haha, Lin Ming, I won't thank you for your great kindness! I will remember your help. I will repay this great favor after I have fully absorbed this Soul Power! Also, this absorption will probably take quite a while; I estimate at least two or three months. Be careful during this time."

Seeing the smiling Elder Yao, Lin Ming was equally pleased and said, "Elder Yao, you can rest assured and absorb this soul! With your guidance during this time, I have almost mastered the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method. With this, unless a Dou Venerate comes, I'm afraid no one can stop me!"

As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Elder Yao burst into laughter again.

"Haha, good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Although the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method was created by himself, only Lin Ming could truly unleash its full power. And now, hearing his words, how could the creator of such Dou Technique not be equally proud?

With a smile, looking at Elder Yao's illusory figure, Lin Ming spoke again, "Elder Yao, after you finish absorbing this Soul Power, we can begin the matter of your resurrection. It won't be long before you have a body again."

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Elder Yao's eyes welled up with tears, and he immediately said solemnly to Lin Ming, "Lin Ming, it is my greatest fortune to have met you in this life!"

Seeing Elder Yao's sudden seriousness, Lin Ming respectfully replied, "Elder Yao, you're too kind! You should return to your Storage Ring to absorb Soul Power! I also need to prepare before setting off to seek revenge against the Barbarian Race."

"Alright! Then be careful!" With that, Elder Yao's figure immediately became ethereal, transforming into a beam of white light and entering the White Storage Ring in Lin Ming's hand.

Inside the room, as Elder Yao returned to his Storage Ring, the room fell silent. Seeing this, Lin Ming went to the bedside, looked at the bed in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then lay down.

"Get plenty of rest so we can set off first thing tomorrow morning. Let's get some sleep tonight, it's a rare treat!"

Lost in thought, Lin Ming, now lying on the bed, drifted into a dream he hadn't had in a long time.
