Xiao Yi Xian: I will win!

After a brief chat, the Three Great Elders of Danta and Venerable Skyfire all departed.

The younger generation feels uncomfortable when elders are around.

Venerable Skyfire had no intention of living in Xiao Yan's courtyard, since it was common knowledge that the courtyard was full of Xiao Yan's women.

Fortunately, the Danta is large and there is no shortage of places to stay. The Venerable Skyfire's current strength and potential are enough for the Three Great Elders to treat him as a strong person of the same level.

Moreover, Venerable Skyfire was a veteran who knew things that even the Three Great Elders didn't. If he hadn't died unexpectedly back then, he would probably have been Peak Dou Zun for many years, or even Half-Saint.

After all, he was indeed a genius who refined Heavenly Flames and created Advanced Earth Tier fire control technique comparable to Heaven Tier Battle Skill.

You should know that he was a formidable person who dared to attempt to refine a second Heavenly Flames directly.

Although he ultimately failed, his talent and ability to have the confidence to do such a thing speak for themselves.

He underestimated the repulsiveness between Heavenly Flames. The eruption of two Fallen Heart Flame within his body was equivalent to Venerable Skyfire using his internal meridians to forcefully consume a Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.

Even though he was Five-Star Dou Zun at the time, he was still directly blasted into serious injury, and then ambushed by the Flame Lizardman. In the end, he succumbed to his injuries and perished in the Underground Magma World.

After all, if Heavenly Flames erupts outside the body, it can be protected with Dou Qi or Dou Technique, but if it erupts inside the body, it will be very difficult to resist.

Not everyone is like Xiao Yan, who used his Dou Technique to forge himself into Legendary Fire-Resistant King.

Xiao Yan's current physical body might not be able to withstand the attack of Dou Zun expert erupting within him, but it would be no problem to withstand the eruption of Heavenly Flames.

With his current physical strength, even if the Three-Colored Fire Lotus exploded inside his body, at most his stomach would tremble, and he would exhale a breath of scorching black smoke, after which his physical attributes would become even stronger.

Of course, Xiao Yan wouldn't actually do that.

The tempering of the physical body by the Great Sun Separation Fire Body is linear.

But the Fire Lotus is different.

If this thing explodes inside the body, firstly, it's unpleasant; secondly, the violent destruction and restructuring can easily weaken the effects of tempering the body with Heavenly Flames under normal circumstances.

In that case, the only way to enhance the Great Sun Separation Fire Body would be to explode oneself.

However, if he did that, his resistance to Heavenly Flames would reach its limit before he could perfect his Great Sun Separation Fire Body cultivation.

Then I couldn't continue cultivating.

We can't wait until we obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame before continuing our cultivation, can we?

By then, he won't be able to reap the benefits of his superior physical fitness.

Moreover, Xiao Yan was not entirely satisfied with the fact that the Great Sun Separation Fire Body could only reach the Peak Dou Zun.

Considering the Supreme Celestial Body of the Great Thousand World and the Dou Emperor Body of the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan had some ideas for perfecting the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.

However, he hasn't accumulated enough experience yet; he needs to mature further.

After seeing off his elders, Xiao Yan introduced Xiao Yi Xian, Han Yue, and Han Xue to his three beautiful young disciples.

Due to Dan Chen's unique physique, apart from the Three Great Elders and Xiao Yan, no one has been able to remain unharmed after touching Dan Chen.

So Xiao Yan gave her extra care and hugged this socially awkward little girl.

After learning about Dan Chen's situation, Xiao Yi Xian, Han Yue, and Han Xue naturally understood what it meant and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

As for the scenario of a chaotic battlefield, that naturally doesn't exist.

Xin Lan is Xiao Yan's obedient eldest disciple; her master's happiness is her happiness.

Cao Ying is a smart girl who has already figured out Xiao Yan's personality. As a disciple, her inexplicable jealousy would only make her seem immature.

She'll only get jealous after she's won over her master, then use jealousy as an excuse to gain more favor.

As for Dan Chen, she had come to see Xiao Yan purely as her salvation and her only light.

Jealousy is out of the question.

She only wanted to follow Xiao Yan for life, and she didn't care even if they weren't officially recognized.

But she would never leave Xiao Yan.

As for the sisters Han Yue and Han Xue, they felt a sense of crisis.

Both are prominent families in Central Plains, but the Han Family has Pill Tower Elder, while theirs is rather weak, their only background being Xiao Yan.

However, the three younger disciples also have Xiao Yan's background.

In this way, without Xiao Yan's shared background, the Han Family is truly no match for the three families of their three young disciples.

Fortunately, they are sisters, which gives them a special buff!

However, Han Yue still felt uneasy. Fortunately, she was already an adult and had advantages that these little girls didn't have!

She has made up her mind: she will take down Xiao Yan within a week!

Strike first, strike hard!

Xiao Yi Xian, however, doesn't have the same worries as them.

She's too confident.

In terms of positioning, she's the kind of girlfriend who's been reborn and falls from the sky.

In terms of strength, she is Dou Zun expert, a master of poisons, and can easily concoct potent aphrodisiacs.

In terms of seniority, she has known Xiao Yan for only as long as Yun Yun and Xun'er.

What? You mean Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and Nalan Yanran?

One is studying at the Jia Nan Academy, one is studying at the Misty Cloud Sect, and one is AFK at the Gate of Life and Death!

Xiao Yi Xian didn't consider them opponents at all.

Putting aside her figure, Xiao Yi Xian's fighting power is still very strong!

In short, I, Xiao Yi Xian, will win!

It's definitely not because she's shy or doesn't know how to express her true feelings to Xiao Yan that she's deceiving herself!

Absolutely not!

After arranging rooms for Xiao Yi Xian, Han Yue, and Han Xue, Xiao Yan led his three little disciples to the alchemy room.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and he wants to give his young apprentices a good test and also answer some of their questions.

His young apprentices did not disappoint him; they all made significant progress.

The extent of his progress in Alchemy was within his expectations.

However, the progress of his three young apprentices' fire control skills exceeded Xiao Yan's expectations.

Only after asking did they learn that Venerable Skyfire had given them some pointers in his spare time, which improved their fire control skills.

Therefore, Xiao Yan, who was quite satisfied with the test results, decided to reward his beautiful little disciples.

As Eighth-Grade Alchemist, although he didn't gain much through his alchemist status, he still amassed a considerable collection through murder and robbery.

They directly selected several Dou Technique suitable for them and gave them to them.

As Xiao Yan's disciple, he naturally had to excel in both alchemy and combat.

As the direct descendants of a prominent family in Central Plains, the three young disciples were of noble status and naturally had no shortage of useful cultivation techniques.

However, their mastery of Dou Technique and their overall combat skills are both quite average.

Therefore, starting tomorrow, Xiao Yan plans to not only teach them alchemy but also improve their combat abilities.

However, it's getting late, and it's time to go to Xuan Ma's for the banquet.

Although this dinner was a family feast and didn't need to be too grand, it was the first time that Xiao Yi Xian, Han Yue, and Han Xue had come to the Danta, so they naturally had to dress up nicely.

Xiao Yi Xian wore an elegant white dress, exuding an ethereal charm; Han Yue wore a light purple dress, displaying a cool and aloof demeanor; while Han Xue wore a light blue dress, radiating liveliness and vivacity.

As for Xiao Yan's three little disciples, it wasn't so troublesome. They had often eaten at Xuan Yi's Xuan Yi, and their relationship was already close enough. There was no need for them to dress up deliberately; just tidying up their personal image was enough.

Let's go.

Xiao Yan casually waved his hand and changed into a more casual purple-patterned white brocade robe—this style of clothing was prepared for him by Xuan Yi, and he wore it so that she would see that he liked wearing the clothes prepared for him by Xuan Ma —and led the six women to the small courtyard next door.

Pushing open the door, one sees the spacious courtyard brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Several Danta maids were neatly arranging exquisite dishes, and a rich aroma wafted through the air.

The Xuan Yi sat in the main seat, awaiting their arrival.

"You've arrived!" Xuan Yi immediately came forward, looking at Xiao Yan with gentle, loving eyes. "You've come at the right time, the dishes will be ready soon."

After saying that, her gaze gently swept over the group of beautiful women behind him, lingering for a moment, especially on Xiao Yi Xian and Han Yue.

She could tell at a glance that these two were currently the ones with the best relationship with Xiao Yan.

The other four people also looked at Xiao Yan with affection, but their gazes were filled with longing, admiration, and adoration.

Han Yue also had some respect for Xiao Yan, but more than that, she felt unconditional love for him.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, her gaze was almost always on Xiao Yan. Xuan Yi was all too familiar with that restrained and subtle love she held!

After Yao Chen left the Pill Danta because of Han Shanshan, her own feelings for Yao Chen remained the same.

"Xuan Ma."

Xiao Yan smiled and called out, then went up and hugged Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi gently patted Xiao Yan's back, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness for his beloved son.

She didn't say anything like, "How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?"

She knew that Xiao Yan was a child who lacked love, and she also knew that he truly regarded her as his own mother. Therefore, she wouldn't be like the so-called "sharp tongue but soft heart," scolding him verbally but showing concern through her actions.

Even when she verbally reprimanded Xiao Yan, she still felt sorry for him.

Xiao Yan is under immense pressure!

When she was Xiao Yan's age, she was only serious when refining medicine; otherwise, she spent her free time playing around.

Unlike Xiao Yan, who fought and killed, never slept, and frantically cultivated and refined medicine, reaching the Peak Four-Star Dou Zong and the level of Eighth-Grade Alchemist at the age of sixteen.

Xiao Yan has never lacked fatherly love.

Xiao Zhan is a good father.

Old Yao was also a good teacher.

Because Xiao Yan did not have a mother, the two of them always played the role of a loving father.

There are very few times when they are strict.

But this is ultimately not quite the same as maternal love.

Xiao Yan's birth mother died early, so early that Xiao Yan had almost forgotten what she looked like.

Although Xiao Yan rarely mentioned this matter, it is undeniable that he has always felt somewhat uneasy about it.

The Xuan Yi perfectly filled the void in Xiao Yan's heart regarding his mother.

However, Xiao Yan was also aware that although he truly regarded Xuan Yi as his mother, Xuan Yi was, after all, an exceptionally beautiful woman with a figure even Queen Medusa, and also his master's wife.

Therefore, Xiao Yan gave him a light hug and then they separated.

He is already sixteen years old.

In the Dou Qi Continent, they are already adults.

I can no longer act like a child, clinging to my mother and relying on her.

Xuan Yi felt sorry for the child because he was so sensible. He reached out and ruffled Xiao Yan's hair, then pulled Xiao Yan's arm and made him sit down next to him.

"Please all sit down. Chen'er, come to your master's side."

Then she invited the rest of the people to take their seats as well.

"Xuan Ma, where's the teacher?"

Xiao Yan glanced at the Bone Flame Ring on Xuan Yi's finger and asked with some curiosity.

Since returning, he had used his soul power to probe, but had not sensed the aura of the Old Yao.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi chuckled lightly:

"It's all thanks to the secret technique you taught him before, the one for tempering soul power, called... the Infinite God Prison Disk, right? At first, that technique only made Yao Chen's soul power a little more condensed, but a week ago, he seemed to have a slight feeling about it, and went into seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly understood.

For Old Yao's sake, Xuan Yi specially used Soul-Nurturing Stone to build a new secret room in this small courtyard.

This Soul-Nurturing Stone interferes with the detection of soul perception, so Xiao Yan naturally couldn't detect that Old Yao was in seclusion inside.

Of course, Xuan Yi's construction of the secret chamber was not intended to make him a master of the secret chamber.

She simply wanted to provide a better living environment for the Old Yao's soul.

Although the Bone Flame Ring also has the effect of nourishing the soul, it is still much inferior to the Soul-Nurturing Stone.

Besides, the Storage Ring was too dark, and she didn't want her beloved man to spend every day in that dark and gloomy Storage Ring.

The secret chamber she built herself was actually just a separate room, fully equipped with everything she needed. Whenever the Old Yao required it, the lighting inside could be changed from bright daylight to pitch black at any time.

This is considered the Old Yao's bedroom.

Although sometimes Xuan Yi would stay overnight.

Of course, given Old Yao's current condition, he definitely can't do anything.

But at least it can give Xuan Yi some satisfaction.

As for what Old Yao thinks... that's not important.

Once Yao Chen is resurrected, Xuan Yi plans to make that old bastard repay all the favors he owes her over the years.

Anyway, the whole family consists of at least Eighth-Grade Alchemist, so the idea of kidney deficiency is simply not an issue for them.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore, let's eat!"

Xuan Yi Xiao Yan's knowing expression, Xuan Yi understood that the child already knew what she meant, and immediately smiled and started serving Xiao Yan food.

This won't do.

Xiao Yan's expression turned serious, and he also served food to Xuan Yi.

"Xuan Ma, you are the elder, please eat first."

Seeing Xiao Yan's feigned serious expression, Xuan Yi's smile deepened. After nodding slightly, he picked up his chopsticks.

Although this wasn't the first time Xiao Yan had done this, she still felt very gratified.

In her eyes, Xiao Yan will always be a good kid, the very best.

Afterwards, the family banquet got down to business. Apart from Xiao Yan, everyone present was a girl, so they naturally talked a lot.

During the meal, the women chatted and laughed, and their relationship naturally became much closer.

However, their conversations always revolved around Xiao Yan, which left him somewhat helpless.

But Xiao Yan couldn't stop them, since they were all saying nice things about him. Even Xuan Yi listened with great interest, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia for her youth.

It's so good to be young!
