A Master's Wife Is Also a Mother
A month and a half later.
With a slight jolt, the Space Ship suddenly burst out of the long Space Channel.
A gentle breeze wafted towards me, carrying with it a rich, sweet fragrance.
Even with Li Lingjing, Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun expert, using Spatial Strength to open Space Channel directly from the Tianxin Empire to Holy Pill City in the Central Region of the Central Plains, it still took Xiao Yan and his group a considerable amount of time.
But Xiao Yan also knew that this was actually quite fast.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan and his group would need to fly from the Tianxin Empire to some large cities in the Western Region of the Central Plains that have Space Wormhole, and then travel through Space Wormhole at least three times before they could reach Holy Pill City.
In this way, the process will take about two and a half months.
However, Xiao Yan didn't waste this month and a half.
Although he couldn't do certain things with Queen Medusa because of Li Lingjing, his elder, Xiao Yan was able to focus all his energy on cultivation.
He spent more than half a month adjusting his condition and refining one Imperial Extreme Pill, one Imperial Extreme Breaking Pill, and one Sect Breaking Pill.
The Imperial Extreme Pill and the Imperial Extreme Breaking Pill were naturally prepared for himself.
As for the Sect Breaking Pill, it was naturally given to Ling Yanfei.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan is too weak right now to help Li Lingjing, who has worked so hard all the way, so he can only repay Ling Yanfei instead.
Moreover, putting aside the matter of repaying, Ling Yanfei's status as Xiao Yan's girlfriend alone is enough for Xiao Yan to refine a pill for her.
Xiao Yan has always been very considerate of his own people.
Therefore, during this period of travel, Xiao Yan directly broke through to the Five-Star Dou Emperor, Ling Yanfei also successfully broke through to the One-Star Dou Zong realm, and Queen Medusa is now at the Four-Star Peak Dou Huang, which can also be considered as imminent breakthrough.
However, at the Dou Zong realm, there are no pills that can directly enhance one's strength. Xiao Yan could only refine some spiritual liquid to help accelerate cultivation for Queen Medusa.
It's still a pity that Li Lingjing wasn't there, otherwise Xiao Yan would have really wanted to personally apply the spiritual liquid to Queen Medusa.
Although... if that were actually done, Queen Medusa certainly wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace.
After all, although Xiao Yan had some self-control, he had already done all the foreplay and it was unlikely that he would stop now.
The therapists who give full-body aromatherapy spa treatments to beautiful married women have a lot to say about this.
Queen Medusa seemed to know that Xiao Yan had such concerns, and she would always inadvertently release her devastating charm, which made Xiao Yan really Child Flame. He was already thinking that after sending off the elder Li Lingjing, he would find a suitable opportunity to give Queen Medusa a good lesson in family discipline.
As for whether Zi Yan will cause trouble?
No problem. Xiao Yan has at least nine ways to make her fall into a deep sleep. Even if heavenly thunder explodes in her ears, she won't wake up at all.
More importantly, she'll have to thank Xiao Yan after she wakes up!
Because Xiao Yan's methods not only effectively induce sleep, but also allow Zi Yan's strength to steadily improve.
Although he has never refined Eighth-Grade Pill, with his Mid-Stage Spirit Realm soul power, he can indeed be called Eighth-Grade Alchemist.
Zi Yan is currently only Sixth-Rank Magical Beast, and with the uniquely powerful physique of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, she can ignore the violent medicinal power of unrefined herbs. It wouldn't be difficult for Xiao Yan to improve her strength.
"Is this the Holy Pill City?"
Looking at the magnificent giant plaza before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Behind him, the space was occasionally rippled with violent fluctuations, and Space Ship emerged from them, then quickly shrank and flew back into the hands of the figure inside.
"This is just a spatial point in the outer region of Holy Pill City. Although I am quite strong, if I don't locate this spatial node and take you directly into the inner city, it will not only consume more energy, but it may also cause misunderstandings among the Three Great Elders of Danta. If the three of them join forces, even Half-Saint level expert can fight them."
By the way, there are as many as eight such Space Plaza in the Outer Realms."
Li Lingjing had once traveled all over Central Plains, so she was naturally familiar with Holy Pill City, the holy land of alchemists.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eye twitched slightly. This plaza alone was comparable in size to half of the Jia Ma Holy City, and there were actually eight of them?
At this moment, Xiao Yan inexplicably felt the awkwardness of a country bumpkin entering the city.
Queen Medusa, Zi Yan, and Ling Yanfei also looked around the enormous city of this holy land of alchemists with some surprise, as it was also their first time visiting such a place.
However, Ling Yanfei was alright. Although the Ling Clan was in decline, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
In terms of grandeur, all Ancient Clans had ancestors who were Dou Emperor (Battle Emperors). Even in their decline, their respective clan territories were passed down from those Dou Emperor powerhouses. As for the magnificence of their architecture, even the Central Plains Danta could not compare.
As for Queen Medusa, she was proud but also composed enough that she would not lose her composure. She simply observed everything before her with a strange light in her beautiful eyes.
How wonderful it would be if the Snake-Person Tribe could one day possess such a magnificent main city.
She couldn't help but think that.
Zi Yan, on the other hand, seemed much happier. She excitedly looked around, clearly full of curiosity about everything.
After all, she is still a child, and naturally has a strong desire to explore and a great deal of curiosity about these new and exciting things.
Li Lingjing continued her introduction:
"Holy Pill City is divided into the outer domain and the Inner Domain. We are currently in the outer domain, while the Danta is naturally in the Inner Domain. Although Holy Pill City is called a city, it is far from being comparable to an ordinary city. If we had to say, it would be more appropriate to call it the Dan Region."
Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this. From this glimpse, he realized that the area of Holy Pill City was probably not much smaller than that of the Jia Ma Empire.
"It's alright most of the time, but during peak seasons like the Pill Gathering, even a city as vast as Holy Pill City would feel extremely crowded. Speaking of which, I wonder when the next Pill Gathering be held. If it's early, you can just join in the fun and maybe even win a championship. If it's late..."
Li Lingjing didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.
If we're late, Xiao Yan might already be at the Ninth-Grade. Coming to the Pill Gathering just bullying him!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan could only shrug helplessly.
According to the normal timeline, he should be at the "Dou Qi, Stage 3, Level: Low" stage at this point, which is considered a weak start.
Pill Gathering?
Roughly speaking, it will take about another ten years.
Ten years...
If he still hasn't become Ninth-Grade Alchemist after ten years, then he's most likely been personally killed by the Hun Tian Di.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yan felt somewhat melancholy.
His championship achievement at the Pill Gathering was destined to remain unfulfilled!
Although Xiao Yan really wanted to visit the Danta first, it is well known that Xiao Yan is very filial. He often takes the initiative to help take care of the grandmothers of his three fiancées, Queen Medusa, Yun Yun, and Ya Fei.
Therefore, he decided to suppress his playful thoughts and make sure that the legendary meeting between Old Yao and Xuan Yi, this ill-fated couple, could happen as soon as possible!
It's definitely not because he got so excited just thinking about what might happen after Old Yao met Xuan Yi.
"Aunt Jing, please take us directly to the Danta. Although I have some skills, it might not be easy for me to meet the Three Great Elders directly. I can only trouble you again."
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting.
Li Lingjing naturally wouldn't refuse her future son-in-law's request. She nodded and was just about to lead everyone to the depths of Holy Pill City when a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky not far behind them. Immediately afterward, a snow-white phoenix carriage carried by four dazzling silver winged horses appeared in the sky, casting a huge shadow over them.
Xiao Yan was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of the snow-white phoenix carriage, but he quickly recalled the key element of the phoenix-shaped clan emblem he saw on it. It seemed that the Dan Clan, one of the Five Great Families in the Dan Region, used this phoenix-shaped clan emblem.
As for the one who made a high-profile entrance with four Void Pegasus pulling a chariot side by side, it seemed to be none other than Dan Chen, the most talented girl in the Dan Clan, whose soul was also extraordinary.
The reason it is said to be the same is because Xiao Yan's own soul is different from that of ordinary people.
Li Lingjing then spoke up, introducing herself to everyone:
"There are Five Great Families in the Dan Region: Dan, Cao, Bai, Qiu, and Dan Clan has always been the most low-key, but even during its most declining years, it has managed to maintain a stable position among the Pill Tower Elder, and its strength is beyond question. The Cao Clan is also quite influential. As for the other three families, they are somewhat lacking."
However, this is all the information I knew back then. I don't know if these five companies are still the same as I remember them after all these years.
"And this carriage pulled by the Void Pegasus is the work of the Dan Clan. I never expected to see members of the Dan Clan again on my return to Holy Pill City."
As she finished speaking, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Li Lingjing's eyes, as if she were recalling some events from back then.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and felt that his head was pointed.
What does it mean that the Dan Clan, despite always being the most low-profile, can openly use the Void Pegasus at many auctions, capable of flying through the void, and much faster than Space Ship —to pull their carriage?
Is this some kind of left-brain/right-brain conflict?
However, speaking of the Five Great Families in the Dan Region, Xiao Yan thought of the Ye Clan, which, judging by the time, should have gradually declined by now.
Xiao Yan had no intention of rushing to help the Ye Clan decline was actually somewhat related to Sun Fire.
Of course, the main reason is that there are no more talented people in the clan.
They could have enhanced their Alchemy by collecting Sun Fire to use as a flame for alchemy.
However, due to the Earth Core Fire Bead, the Ye Clan's Ancient Sun Fire Altar could not generate Sun Fire, leaving the Ye Clan without any fire to use.
This truly made things worse for them.
Xiao Yan was quite interested in this Sun Fire, or rather, the Earth Core Fire Bead.
The Earth Core Fire Bead is an energy pearl formed from the essence of the earth's depths over countless years. It possesses extremely powerful energy and can be used in refining some Eighth-Grade or even Ninth-Grade Pill.
If he could obtain this item, Xiao Yan would really not mind helping the Ye Clan.
With his current expertise and vision in Alchemy, this Earth Core Fire Bead can at least be used to refine Eighth-Grade Pill of Five-Colored Pill Lightning or higher, and it would be a pill that would be of great benefit to Fire Attribute Dou Qi cultivators.
It can directly elevate one's cultivation level, or it can be used to promote the mutation of Dou Qi. In short, it has many uses and is highly sought after.
Speaking of which, could the Dan Clan's visit to Holy Pill City be to participate in the elders' examination of the Five Great Families?
Xiao Yan suddenly had a thought.
If that's the case, it would be a good opportunity to contact the Ye Clan in advance and find out about the Earth Core Fire Bead.
As I pondered, the snow-white phoenix chariot in the sky had already drifted far away.
Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie and looked at Li Lingjing had also emerged from her memories.
"Judging from their demeanor, I guess the Dan Clan is here to participate in the elders' examination of the Five Great Families in the Dan Region. But this has nothing to do with us. Let's go, let's go straight to the Danta."
Li Lingjing smiled faintly, then waved her hand, her Dou Qi enveloping the entire group. She then tore through space and flew rapidly towards the Danta in the Inner Domain.
Intense spatial fluctuations rippled around me, but the feeling was completely different from when I was riding in the Space Ship before.
This time, under Li Lingjing's protection, they directly conducted short-distance space travel at a speed far exceeding that of Space Ship.
The vast plaza and bustling crowds of the outer realm were left far behind in an instant, and the scene before them changed rapidly.
After a few breaths, the distorted space around them suddenly calmed down.
The group found themselves in a completely different world.
The concentration of spiritual energy here far surpasses that of the outer regions, and the fragrance of elixirs permeating the air is incomparably pure. Just one breath is enough to invigorate one's spirit, as if the Dou Qi within one's body has become more active.
Looking up, a colossal tower, whose magnificence defies description, stands like a pillar supporting the sky at the edge of the field of vision.
The tower exudes an ancient and profound aura, its tip seemingly piercing the depths of the sky, with faint halos of energy flowing around it, forming mysterious and unpredictable runes and creating a powerful spatial barrier.
"This is the Inner Domain of the Danta." Li Lingjing looked at the giant tower, a hint of solemnity in her eyes. "That is the Danta."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, feeling the vast energy and the omnipresent rich medicinal energy of this place, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pilgrimage-like excitement rising in his heart.
This is the place that countless alchemists dream of!
However, before they could make any move, the Three Great Elders of Danta, sensing that Li Lingjing had not concealed her powerful aura, tore through space and descended before them.
Ignoring the two old men, Xiao Yan immediately fixed his gaze on the beautiful woman in a gorgeous white and purple cheongsam, with a voluptuous figure, charming demeanor, and gentle and noble temperament.
Although Xiao Yan had no idea what "Junior Brother Wa" meant, he couldn't help but want to call the beautiful woman in front of him, who gave him a sense of familiarity, "Mom."
No wonder she's my teacher's old flame; she's definitely the kind of woman who could be my teacher's wife!
Xiao Yan sincerely praised in his heart.
