Dou Emperor Tomb!

At that moment, the information on the map quietly changed as well.

[Worn-Out Map (Level 4): Records the location where a Dou Emperor expert fell.

Usage: Follow the map's guidance to the Magical Beast Mountain Range...

Owner: Xiao Yang

Can be enhanced: No]

Xiao Yang was somewhat surprised by the information above.

This was actually a map marking the place where a Dou Emperor expert had fallen!

He could not understand why this map had been hidden inside another map.

But none of that was important.

What Xiao Yang was curious about now was whether anyone had ever visited the place where that Dou Emperor expert had fallen.

If no one had, there might still be treasures left behind by that expert!

Xiao Yang had always felt that the powerful experts of the Dou Qi Continent were good people.

Even after death, they went out of their way to build tombs and leave treasures inside!

Were they really not afraid of having their peace disturbed after death?

Legends were spread everywhere across the Dou Qi Continent about people falling off cliffs, only to discover an expert's tomb and obtain inheritances and treasures.

However, that was a good thing for Xiao Yang.

He might be able to go take a look later.

He checked the location recorded on the map and found that it was within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Moreover, as he studied the map, Xiao Yang faintly felt that it looked familiar.

He felt as though he had seen it somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yang had a maid from near his courtyard bring him a map of the outer region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Very quickly, Xiao Yang's maid brought him the map he needed.

After comparing the two, Xiao Yang discovered something.

The location of that Dou Emperor's tomb was actually very close to the Xiao Clan's back mountain!

In fact, the Xiao Clan's back mountain could also be considered part of the outer region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

However, it was an extremely outermost area.

There were hardly any magical beasts there, and even ordinary wild animals were scarce.

Even if there were any, they had basically all been cleared out by the Xiao Clan's experts.

After all, the Xiao Clan was not like those minor factions in Green Mountain Town.

The Xiao Clan alone had several Da Dou Shi.

Therefore, the Xiao Clan's back mountain was very safe.

However, after going deeper and crossing one or two mountains, one would basically start encountering first-tier magical beasts!

The location marked on his map was only separated from the Xiao Clan's back mountain by four mountains!

At the sight of this, a trace of joy flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

It was so close. He should be able to get there within two days!

However, he definitely could not go alone.

Even if it was only the outer region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it was still extremely dangerous for the current Xiao Yang!

Even a first-tier magical beast could take his life!

So he felt that he could bring Xiao Yan and Yao Lao along.

If that Dou Emperor expert had left behind any treasures, he might be able to trade them for ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Some of the main ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill could not be bought with gold coins.

They could probably only be obtained through barter.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yang ran toward Xiao Yan's courtyard.

He planned to discuss it with Yao Lao.

When he arrived at the entrance of Xiao Yan's courtyard, he discovered that the gate was actually open.

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony. He knocked on the door twice and walked inside.

The moment he entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Yan and a middle-aged man.

It was the Xiao Clan's patriarch, his eldest uncle—Xiao Zhan.

"Brother Yang, why are you here?"

Xiao Yan was the first to notice Xiao Yang's presence.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan slowly turned around as well.

A trace of excitement still lingered on his face.

"Xiao Yang, you're here."

"Come, sit down."

Xiao Zhan's tone was exceptionally gentle.

Ever since Xiao Yang's parents had died in sacrifice when he was young, Xiao Zhan had essentially been the one caring for him.

He had spent most of his childhood with Xiao Yan, which was why the two were so close, like real brothers.

Not only was Xiao Yang close to Xiao Yan, but he also had an excellent relationship with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

"Eldest Uncle."

Seeing Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yang smiled and greeted him.

After all, Xiao Zhan had truly treated him very well.

Back when he had opened his restaurant, Xiao Zhan had lent him part of the money.

Furthermore, that restaurant had originally been a property in the Xiao Clan's marketplace.

When Xiao Yang rented it, Xiao Zhan had deliberately offered him a very low price.

If not for Xiao Zhan, his restaurant could not have opened so smoothly.

Even later, when he worked with the Mite'er Family, Xiao Zhan had gone along to support Xiao Yang.

Otherwise, how could a child like him have possibly met Ya Fei at the time?

"I heard that you were also accepted as a disciple by Xiao Yan's teacher?"

"Since you have now become the disciple of an alchemist, you should focus your energy on cultivation from now on."

"As for the restaurant, I will help keep an eye on it for you."

Xiao Zhan spoke with a concerned expression.

Xiao Yang could not help feeling warmth in his heart.

He knew that Xiao Zhan was simply concerned about him.

As for using this opportunity to seize control of the restaurant, that was completely impossible.

After all, when the restaurant first opened, it was Xiao Zhan who had sent people to help guard it.

"Eldest Uncle, I understand."

"Alright, you two talk. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Come eat together tonight. I'll prepare a grand feast for you to celebrate Yan'er's recovered talent."

As he spoke, excitement flashed across Xiao Zhan's face.

Xiao Zhan now knew that Xiao Yan had recovered his talent.

After all, he had never given up on finding an alchemist to treat Xiao Yan.

Unlike in the original story, where Xiao Zhan had been completely out of options by then.

After learning of this, Xiao Yan could only make up an excuse that he and Xiao Yang had been accepted as disciples by a mysterious alchemist.

That person had also healed him in passing.

Xiao Zhan had only learned about it today when he came to see Xiao Yan.

However, the two had anticipated this long ago, so they had already coordinated their story.

After speaking, Xiao Zhan stood up, patted both of them on the shoulders, and walked outside.

Xiao Yang could clearly see that Xiao Zhan's departing steps carried a hint of lightness, while an irrepressible smile remained on his face.

Once Xiao Zhan had left, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yang curiously.

"Brother Yang, why did you come today?"

Xiao Yang did not speak immediately. Instead, he first shut the courtyard gate and pulled Xiao Yan into the room.

"Where is Teacher?"

"I just went to the Mittel Auction House and obtained some ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

As he spoke, he took out the medicinal ingredients he had just acquired from his Storage Ring.

Yao Lao instantly appeared as well.

After examining them with his soul power, a trace of satisfaction flashed over his face. He nodded and said,

"Not bad. These ingredients are of good quality."

"I didn't expect that little girl to be able to obtain even a Body Tempering Spirit Fruit."

"Now, we're mainly missing those key ingredients."

Xiao Yang's hands did not pause as he continued taking out the map he had just obtained.

"Teacher, take a look. I also found this at the Mittel Auction House."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang recounted how he had acquired the map.

Of course, he said that he had brought it back because he felt there was something strange about it.

Xiao Yan listened from the side, completely dumbfounded.

"No way, that worked?!"
