"The matter has been settled, Xiao Yan, I'm going back."
"The old man has already returned the things to you. When I go to the Misty Cloud Sect again, I don't need to worry about it. Your father's matter... I'm sorry, I don't have the courage to gamble, so I can't help you."
"However, I am firmly on your side! Who made you the protagonist?
There must be something like Plane Embryo in this world, right? You are probably the heir chosen by it, so there will be no problem with you, I believe. "
"Oh, but the plot has changed so much. I don't know where you will go in the future, but please go to the Jia Nan Academy."
"You must come! There is something you need very much there."
"I'll leave too. I'll be in trouble again when the old guy wakes up. Goodbye!"
"Little guy, little guy!"
Xiao Yan was shouted by an old voice. Touching his aching head, he slowly sat up.
Before his thoughts could be separated from the chaos, his vision was blurry. He raised his head and tried hard to see clearly the somewhat confused figure directly in front of him.
The setting dusk slipped in through the open window, passed through the wooden window sill, and shone on Xiao Yan's face, finally waking him up.
The moment his vision returned to clarity, his mind went blank again.
In front of him, an old man stood in front of him. He had white hair and white robes, big sleeves fluttering, his face was old, and he looked unusually kind. A pair of deep eyes, exuding wisdom that cannot be concealed despite the age, as if they have gone through many vicissitudes of life.
The most peculiar thing was that his body was actually penetrated by sunlight, and his feet were as ethereal as a layer of smoke.
"Hahaha, what's the matter? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you don't recognize me, an old guy?" The old man looked at Xiao Yan, who was in a daze, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes a few times. He really suppressed the sourness that poured into the tip of his nose, and joked with a smile.
"Teacher..." Xiao Yan murmured blankly, raised his left hand with only four fingers left, and wanted to touch the old man's body, but it went straight through.
Old Yao nodded slightly, raised his broad palm, pressed it on Xiao Yan's head, and rubbed it slightly.
"Yes, I'm back. I didn't expect that the weather would almost change when I slept." Old Yao stared at Xiao Yan's broken finger and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yan wiped his eyes with his right hand and said with a wry smile, "Yes, without you, teacher, the journey of spiritual practice would be really difficult!"
"You brat, are you teasing me?" Old Yao patted his head gently, his eyes full of smiles, and said, "Not even a month after I fell asleep, you changed from Six-Star Dou Shi to Four-star Dou Grandmaster, much faster than when I taught you, old man."
"Four-star Dou Grandmaster?" Xiao Yan was puzzled. Didn't he just step into the Da Dou Shi realm?
"The elixir you took is indeed good, and its potency is very strong. Coupled with the physical trauma you have suffered these days, it has further stimulated the catalysis of this potion, allowing you to improve your cultivation further. But I am very curious. This potency can allow you to break through to Three-star Great Dou Shi at most, but you have suddenly reached a higher level. Moreover, your mental power has also improved greatly, and is no longer inferior to Fifth-grade Alchemist.
I'm curious about what adventures you encountered after taking the elixir. "Old Yao stroked the illusion's beard, looked at Xiao Yan's whole body, and nodded as he spoke.
Although I learned that Xiao Yan has suffered a lot these days, I can see that he is safe and making great progress. He was still very happy.
Xiao Yan nodded, and then told Old Yao exactly what he had experienced these days.
"Well, I didn't expect that this little Jia Ma Empire would have so many powerful people gathered together, and would appear frequently during this time." Old Yao couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Among the powerful people above Dou Emperor you mentioned, there are only two people whose identities I know clearly."
Xiao Yan nodded. The identities of these people were mysterious. Old Yao was already very strong if he could understand both of them at the same time.
"The person who attacked you should be Soul Hall." Old Yao said lightly, with an imperceptible gloom flashing in his eyes.
"Soul Hall?" Xiao Yan didn't know anything about this unfamiliar term.
"Soul Hall is an organization that specializes in hunting powerful souls. You are still too weak now. The specific information tells you that it will only be ineffective against you." Old Yao shook his head and said with a sigh, "You should be lucky that I was still asleep at the time, otherwise we might really be in big trouble that day."
Xiao Yan nodded. The organization that specializes in hunting souls has the strength and means to restrain Soul Body in every possible way.
"If you encounter those people in the future, it's best to stay away. Even in my heyday, I have never understood their organizational capabilities." Old Yao reminded.
Xiao Yan nodded calmly.
"The other old man's name is Mo Yuan. He is a very weird guy." Old Yao seemed to be recalling the ancient past and said in a daze:
"He claims to be a casual cultivator. He has traveled in the Dou Qi Continent for many years and has made friends with countless people. However, as far as I know, there is actually a powerful force behind him that is not weak compared to the Soul Hall.
When I was young and struggling, he had already become famous, and I had some social relations with him. Unexpectedly, he was actually involved with the Soul Hall. "
Old Yao feels a little melancholy.
"What about his strength?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Dou Venerate Peak!"
"Hiss..." Xiao Yan took a deep breath and got goosebumps all over his body.
"No need to make a fuss. The world is very big, and there are countless powerful people and people. Misty Cloud Sect has such a strength that even Dou Zong doesn't have, but he is stuck on the tail of a second-rate person." Old Yao suddenly raised his chest slightly and said confidently, "The strength he had during his lifetime was almost the same as him."
"Forget it, these are too far away from me." Xiao Yan held his forehead and shook his head to get rid of these shocks from his mind.
"Haha, it's good to know. You have to work harder in the future! You have to be prepared these days." Old Yao patted his shoulder with a smile.
Speaking of cultivation, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit. Those scenes from yesterday began to appear in his eyes one by one. He smiled bitterly and said dryly, "Teacher... Three Year Agreement, I lost. I, lost to Nalan Yanran..."
?
This time it was Yao Chen's turn, but then he seemed to think of something, chuckled and said, "Look how anxious you are. Three Year Agreement has been pushed back three days."
"What?" Xiao Yan's pupils dilated slightly, looking at Old Yao in disbelief.
But Old Yao smiled mysteriously and explained, "Your classmate Jia Nan Academy helped you fight for it."
"Miss Gongsun?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, among the Jia Ma Empire and Jia Nan Academy, the one he was most familiar with was this petite girl.
"I don't know the specific situation. You can ask your old friend." Old Yao shrugged and said helplessly.
"How is your old friend?" Xiao Yan was shocked again.
"That Mite'er Family Auction House little girl." The corners of Old Yao's mouth raised slightly.
"She is my sister..." Xiao Yan had something he didn't want to say.
