Could Xiao Yan Be a Dou Zun Expert?

Si Ming looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief, clearly not expecting that this Young Master Yan, who looked even younger than himself, would casually give away such a precious pill as a greeting gift!

Twenty million gold coins was a considerable sum, but Xiao Yan made it very clear that he wouldn't be shortchanged. Although Qing Lin and Lu Man were still the ones to repay the debt, they clearly had no objections to it.

Therefore, Si Ming essentially gained an Imperial Extreme Pill free.

Moreover, the rich medicinal fragrance alone, almost condensing into mist, made Si Ming realize that the efficacy of this Imperial Extreme Pill was absolutely top-tier!

It seems that this Young Master Yan is indeed a Seventh-Tier Alchemist!

Realizing this, Si Ming naturally dared not be negligent. He looked at Xiao Yan with a smile and cupped his hands, saying:

"Yan Alliance Yan's generosity is truly remarkable. Even within my Heavenly Snake Mansion, no one could refine Imperial Extreme Pill of such high quality."

"Oh? Even Master Zhen, who is at the Mid-Tier Seventh-Grade, couldn't refine it?"

Lu Man asked curiously.

"I have seen Master Zhen's Imperial Extreme Pill before, and its quality is indeed inferior to the Yan Alliance's."

Si Ming said earnestly.

Lu Man was quite surprised to hear this.

Who would have thought that Xiao Yan's Alchemy would become so outrageous in just a few years?

If I remember correctly, this kid isn't even fifteen years old yet!

Not only has his strength improved so much, but his Alchemy have also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Do such people really exist?

A sudden, unreal feeling washed over Lu Man.

But then, a strange sense of pride welled up inside her; the man she had set her sights on was indeed extraordinary!

Thinking this, she looked at Xiao Yan again and examined him closely.

With a perfect jawline and clear facial features, he exudes a resolute aura. His features are well-proportioned, his skin is fair, and his dark eyes are full of confidence, as if he has everything under control.

The arms that held me were strong and firm, like the most secure harbor in the world.

Hehe, that's great!

Lu Man's gaze became sticky again, as if it were about to draw suspicious white threads from Xiao Yan's body, almost comparable to the way Yao Ling looked at Xiao Yan every day.

It can only be said that this woman in her thirties, a virgin, has indeed been sexually repressed for a long time.

If Xiao Yan weren't still behaving himself, the Lu Man would probably have already started producing spring water.

In comparison, Qing Lin was relatively normal. Apart from secretly sucking on Yan with a blushing face, she didn't have any other thoughts for the time being.

As Xiao Young Master Yan's little maid, her thoughts were mainly focused on the "serious business" that Xiao Yan hadn't had time to tell them yet.

"Actually, I might not be better than some Rank 7 Intermediate Alchemist, but when it comes to refining the Imperial Extreme Pill, unless you're Eighth-Grade Alchemist, no one within the Seventh-Grade can refine it better than me."

Xiao Yan waved his hand modestly, but his words were full of confidence.

His Alchemy have already reached the Seventh-Grade rank, and the Imperial Extreme Pill is Sixth-Grade Pill he refines most often, so his proficiency is beyond question.

In addition to his powerful soul force, and the blessing of the Beast Fallen Lotus Heart Flame and the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which are comparable to the eighth- Heavenly Flame Ranking, unless one is Eighth-Grade Alchemist who has entered the Spirit Realm of the Soul Spirit Realm and can use spirituality to improve the quality of pills, no one below the Eighth-Grade can refine pills like the Imperial Extreme Pill better than Xiao Yan!

Si Ming didn't understand the intricacies of this matter. He only felt that Xiao Yan's Alchemy were not only of a high level, but also seemed to have an extremely solid foundation. It seemed that the person who guided him in Alchemy was no ordinary Pill Tower Elder. Perhaps, he was a disciple of one of the three presidents of the Danta, that is, one of the so-called Three Great Elders of Danta!

This background...

That's absolutely terrifying!

It's important to know that the Three Great Elders of Danta are all super strong individuals at the Peak Dou Zun!

It's no exaggeration to say that any one of the Three Great Elders could easily sweep across the Northwest Continent without being able to defeat anyone.

For a moment, Si Ming's gaze towards Xiao Yan became more solemn and cautious.

To be honest, he had just realized something even more terrifying.

Xiao Yan has been here for quite a while now, yet his father, whose strength has reached the Peak Dou Zong, hasn't noticed at all?

Could it be that Xiao Yan's strength...?

Si Ming dared not think any further.

"As expected of the young master, the young master is truly amazing!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's confident words, Qing Lin immediately praised him with a smile. In her eyes, Xiao Yan was omnipotent!

"My dear little brother Yan, tell me honestly, are you really just a boy who's not even fifteen years old? To be honest, rather than believing in your monstrous talent, I'd rather believe that an old soul dwells within your youthful appearance."

Lu Man sighed softly, reached out and touched Xiao Yan's cheek gently, as if caressing him, her eyes filled with a deep, almost saccharine love.

This was obviously a joke directed at Xiao Yan.

She knew very well that Xiao Yan had the mind of a young man, a quality that could not be faked by an experienced old man.

However, such extraordinary talent seems utterly unreal.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Si Ming reacted as if a cat had its tail stepped on; his voice suddenly became much sharper, even cracking as he exclaimed in surprise.

Under fifteen years old?

Is he even fourteen?

Looking at the other person's obviously mature demeanor, yet also noticeably younger appearance, and considering that Lu Man wouldn't bother to tell such an outrageous lie to tease him, Si Ming's composure crumbled again.

Damn it!

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!

He's almost twice Xiao Yan's age!

Despite being weaker, the other person was still Seventh-Tier Alchemist!

Is this a human?

Who could believe he's only a fourteen-year-old boy?

But Si Ming's gaze quickly fell on Qing Lin, who was being held by Xiao Yan.

If a mere maid is an eleven-year-old Dou Wang, then it's not surprising that the young master, at fourteen, can handle Dou Zong and is also Seventh-Tier Alchemist, right?

Let's check it off!

Can't these genius freaks just get lost?!

Are you trying to kill us?!

Si Ming was on the verge of tears; Imperial Extreme Pill in his hand no longer tasted good.

"Uh, I'll be fifteen in a few months. I'm fourteen now, but I'm pretty mature at heart, at least twenty-four?"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke seriously.

"So, three years ago, you must have been twenty-one? No wonder you were so lecherous, daring to provoke even Queen Medusa and making her give you her lap as a pillow. White Fang... oh, he's an elder of our Heavenly Snake Mansion whose true form is the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor. We're on pretty good terms, and he was depressed for a whole year after he found out about this."

Upon hearing this, Lu Man smiled and teased.

"Then tell her that Medusa is already my woman, and she shouldn't even think about it anymore. I'm a petty person, and if I can't help myself and kill her, that would be bad. After all, I'm practically family with the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and it would be bad for my reputation to turn on my own people."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Man was somewhat exasperated by Xiao Yan's increasingly thick skin. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Xiao Yan's cheeks, pulling them apart and saying angrily:

"You naughty little brother, are you feeling very smug? Showing off other women in front of me and Qing Lin, aren't you!"

Qing Lin blinked, looking completely innocent.

"I have no objection."

Lu Man: "???"

"Ah! No!" Qing Lin suddenly exclaimed, then looked at Xiao Yan with a serious face and earnestly congratulated him, "Congratulations, young master, on finally winning the heart of your beauty!"

Lu Man: "..."

Si Ming: "???"

He felt the world was still too crazy.

How did the sweet and adorable Qing Lin become so loyal and strict with Lüji when she was by the side of this Yan Alliance?

Any woman would feel a pang of jealousy and resentment when she sees her beloved man being intimate with another woman.

But Qing Lin is completely different.

Isn't that wrong?

Lu Man was completely numb.

While she was fighting, her teammates didn't just surrender; they turned against her and launched an attack!

What's the point of playing this game?

I'm done playing!

"I'm completely fed up! Don't say anything more, just take me away right now. I want to be your woman, otherwise I won't feel right!"

Lu Man are on display right now.

These words were so blunt that Si Ming, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned.

No, you guys don't even try to hide it from people anymore?

However, upon reflecting on what he had just experienced, Si Ming felt relieved—because these three guys had never treated him like a human being in the first place!

Hahaha!

"Alright, you'll get what's coming to you when you have time. Now, listen to me."

Xiao Yan naturally understood that although Lu Man was indeed a little jealous, it was more out of a lack of security that she used this testing method to determine her position in his heart by assessing his tolerance level towards her, thereby gaining some sense of security.

There's nothing we can do; ultimately, it's because the feelings weren't deep enough.

It's not a big problem; we can have a proper, in-depth discussion later.

Anyway, a path full of flowers is a shortcut to a woman's heart; if there isn't enough love, it's mainly because too little is done.

The more you do it, the more you'll love it.

Having already won over three mature, sophisticated women, Xiao Yan has quite a bit of experience in this area.

After secretly pinching Lu Man's firm, round, full buttocks, Xiao Yan composed himself, completely ignoring the green-clad beauty whose ears were turning red, and said with a serious expression:

"The 'Ancient Dou Zun Peak Abode' that was announced at the end of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion auction was actually a trap, and the mastermind behind it is very likely the Soul Hall."

"Soul Hall?"

Si Ming's pupils contracted. Although he didn't know much about the forces in Central Plains, he was familiar with the mysterious "Soul Hall".

Within their Heavenly Snake Empire, there is a branch of the Soul Hall!

At this moment, Lu Man no longer cared about being shy, and her expression became serious.

If that's the case, then that's a real problem!

"That's right." Xiao Yan nodded and explained his previous analysis in detail, "With the Sect Assembly approaching, the elite forces of the top powers in the Northwest Continent are gathering in Tianxin City. The Soul Hall is using Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to throw out the 'Ancient Abode' —a bait that no one can refuse—while restricting entry to those below the Five-Star Dou Zong. Their aim is to gather the core forces of various powers, and even the young geniuses, and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

I come from the Danta and am familiar with the methods of the Soul Hall. According to my speculation, even if the 'Ancient Dou Zun Peak Abode' really exists, it has probably already been laid out with a net of heaven and earth after we enter.

The Soul Hall's cultivation methods are bizarre, using the collection of souls as cultivation resources. In the past, in the Central Plains, they persecuted alchemists and some powerful individuals, seizing their high-quality souls for their own use.

I even suspect that the Tianxin Empire's Jia Ma Imperial Family, and even the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion itself, may have secretly sided with the Soul Hall, or at least reached some kind of tacit understanding. You probably don't know that in another place called "Heaven Burial Ravine" within the Soul Burial Mountain Range, where that "Ancient Dou Zun Peak Abode" is located, there is a branch of the Soul Hall!

Upon hearing this, Si Ming's expression changed drastically. He immediately took out a jade slip, Dou Qi, and a light screen was projected out, revealing a map of the Tianxin Empire!

He located the area of the Soul Burial Mountain Range, zoomed in on it, and his expression immediately turned increasingly grim.

"The 'Soul-Severing Ravine' where this Ancient Abode is located is separated from the 'Heaven Burial Ravine' by only one mountain! If Ancient Abode has truly emerged, the Soul Hall should undoubtedly be the first to receive the news!"

Now Si Ming basically believed Xiao Yan's speculation.

Without a doubt, this is a deadly trap targeting numerous forces Northwest Continent!

Lu Man Barbarian's pretty face also turned quite gloomy:

"I never imagined that these inhuman creatures would be so ruthless. If they succeed, the entire Northwest Continent will be plunged into chaos. Not only will they be able to seize the souls of those who went to the Ancient Abode, but they can also use the war caused by the chaos to obtain a massive amount of soul bodies. They are determined to completely destroy the Northwest Continent!"

Xiao Yan nodded, looking at Lu Man and Qing Lin with a serious expression:

"I even worry that those in Tianxin City won't escape unscathed either. That's why I secretly infiltrated to see you this time, not only to warn you, but also to secretly send you all away. Those below the Dou Zong should not enter the ruins or caves; they will die."

"I'll do as you say, young master."

Qing Lin had already realized that Xiao Yan planned to enter the cave, and that he didn't intend to take her in, nor would he allow her to go in.

But she won't be willful; she'll only obediently follow orders.

"I'll listen to you too."

Although Lu Man longed to fight alongside Xiao Yan, she knew that while her current strength as Eight-Star Dou Emperor was considerable in the entire Northwest Continent, she wouldn't be of much help against the Dou Zong- level protectors of the Soul Hall. It was better for her to obediently listen to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Ming, you shouldn't stay here either, come with us."

Then Lu Man turned to look at Si Ming and said seriously.

"Alright, but Father must know about this."

Si Ming nodded upon hearing this and agreed without any hesitation, adding that he would like to add more.

"No problem."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan reached out and tore through space, inserting his hand inside.

The next moment, a figure was pulled out from the spatial rift and casually placed next to Si Ming by Xiao Yan.

Looking at the familiar figure who had been captured, Si Ming exclaimed in disbelief:

"Father?"

But Si Ming's father Si Yuan, stared at Xiao Yan with a face full of shock:

"Tearing through space? You are Dou Zun expert?"
