Yun Yun Visits in Person, He is Xiao Ze?

It took Xiao Zhan a long while to gradually accept the fact that his son, Xiao Ze, was already at the level of a Da Dou Shi.

Xiao Zhan's reaction was incredibly intense!

One had to realize that he had lived for quite some time, yet he was currently only a six-star Da Dou Shi.

Furthermore, he had only managed to break through to the five-star level with Xiao Ze's assistance.

Even if one considered Nalan Yanran of the Misty Cloud Sect, who had the backing of the sect, top-tier Dou Techniques and cultivation methods, and the Pill King Gu He helping her refine medicinal pills to aid her cultivation—so what?

Wasn't her current strength still merely that of a Dou Zhe?

Yet Xiao Ze, at such a young age, was already a two-star Da Dou Shi.

As a father, how could Xiao Zhan not be stirred and exhilarated?

"Hahaha, worthy of being my son, Xiao Zhan! Truly extraordinary!" Xiao Zhan said with excitement.

He was incomparably thrilled, unable to contain his agitation.

Watching Xiao Zhan's unrestrained excitement, Xiao Ze smiled and replied.

"Father, in the future, I will certainly lead our Xiao Family back to the peak we once reached," Xiao Ze said.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Zhan's expression suddenly shifted. The peak they once reached?

Could it be that Ze'er knew something?

Many years ago, their Xiao Family was indeed one of the strongest clans in the Central Plains.

But later, they declined, and they left the Central Plains to return to this tiny Wutan City in the Gama Empire, merely clinging to life.

Xiao Zhan had also wanted to rely on his own efforts to revitalize the family, but he knew that was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

However, Xiao Ze was different.

The talent he was currently displaying was terrifyingly astonishing.

If Ze'er can truly revitalize our Xiao Family, I'd like to see who on the Douqi Continent would dare to look down on us again, Xiao Zhan thought to himself.

He patted Xiao Ze on the shoulder and said to him.

"Hahaha, good! I believe my son will surely be able to do it."

"By the way, Father, what were you and the elders fretting over in the main hall just now?"

Mentioning this matter, Xiao Zhan sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

"Recently, the business at our family's medicinal pill market hasn't been good."

"The Jialie Family somehow managed to hire an Alchemist to help them refine healing pills. With the nearby mercenaries buying their pills, our Xiao Family's market business has plummeted."

"If our Xiao Family doesn't have more effective healing medicine, I'm afraid our situation in the coming days won't be easy."

Xiao Ze suddenly laughed.

"I was wondering what you were fretting over, Father. It turns out it's just this small matter. Don't worry, leave this to me."

"I'll refine some healing medicine that is more effective and priced affordably."

"I'll make sure the Alchemist the Jialie Family hired rolls away in disgrace. As for our family's market business, Father, you won't need to worry."

Xiao Zhan's expression slowly underwent a subtle change.

Hearing Xiao Ze's words just now, the suspicion in Xiao Zhan's heart was further confirmed.

Could it be that his son really knew an Alchemist?

Otherwise, where did the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill he gave him earlier come from?

And just now, he had indicated that he would help the Xiao Family refine healing medicine.

It was to be a counterattack against the Jialie Family to snatch back the market business.

Xiao Zhan's reaction was one of shock, and he thought to himself.

Could it be... that Ze'er can also refine medicine? Is he also an Alchemist?

Xiao Zhan could hardly believe it; one had to know that Alchemists on the Douqi Continent were the most respected profession of all.

If Xiao Ze could truly refine pills and was a Tier 1 Alchemist, that would be too incredible. For their Xiao Family, it would be an immense honor.

The youngest son who was once looked down upon by others was now not only a Da Dou Shi but also an Alchemist!

As a father, Xiao Zhan was simply too thrilled, too excited!

After Xiao Ze left, he went to gather some medicinal herbs, intending to refine Tier 2 healing medicine.

The herbs were not rare; there were plenty in the mountains behind the estate.

He only needed to collect them.

He refined over a dozen bottles of Tier 2 healing medicine and temporarily stored them in his Storage Ring.

Nowadays, with his level as a Tier 4 Alchemist, refining Tier 2 healing medicine was no longer difficult at all.

It was completely effortless and very easy!

After finishing these tasks, Xiao Ze found a rock and planned to lie down on it to rest for a while.

Once he woke up, he would consume the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill to breakthrough in strength.

That way, his cultivation could reach the level of a Four-Star Grand Dou Shi.

At the gates of Wutan City, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun, along with her student Nalan Yanran, had just arrived in the city.

Then, under Nalan Yanran's lead, they headed directly toward the Xiao Family.

Nalan Yanran said, "Teacher, Xiao Ze's cultivation talent is indeed very strong, but he is a bit arrogant. If you personally invite him to join our Misty Cloud Sect later and he still refuses you, what should we do?"

"Regardless of anything else, you are the Sect Leader of our Misty Cloud Sect."

"To take the initiative to invite someone to join our Misty Cloud Sect only to be rejected—that is simply unreasonable and would cause our Misty Cloud Sect to lose face."

What truly made Yun Yun value Xiao Ze was not just his astonishing cultivation speed and talent, but also his ability as an Alchemist!

According to what Yanran had said, he was capable of refining Tier 3 medicinal pills.

Yun Yun was very interested; if Xiao Ze could truly be persuaded by her to join their Misty Cloud Sect, his future prospects would certainly not be inferior to Yanran's.

Yun Yun thought to herself.

At this moment, Xiao Ze was still sleeping and resting on the rock in the family's back mountain, unaware that Xiao Xun'er had already arrived there.

She had originally intended to find Xiao Ze for a spar, hoping he would guide her to improve her Douqi strength.

Seeing him sleeping on the rock, Xiao Xun'er watched him silently from the side, not making a single sound or disturbing him.

"Brother Xiao Ze looks so handsome when he sleeps," Xiao Xun'er murmured to herself.

Just then, Yun Yun, having arrived via Douqi Wing Manifestation, descended into the Xiao Family's back mountain.

Seeing Xiao Ze lying on the rock, Yun Yun said to Nalan Yanran beside her, "Yanran, is he the Xiao Ze you mentioned?"

"Yes, Teacher, he is Xiao Ze."

Nalan Yanran stepped forward and patted Xiao Ze, attempting to wake him up. "Xiao Ze, my teacher is here—the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun, one of the Top Ten Experts of the Gama Empire."

"My teacher values your potential and has personally invited you to join the Misty Cloud Sect. That is quite a lot of face given to you, isn't it?"

"Surely you won't refuse this time."

Xiao Ze opened his eyes groggily and looked at the refreshed tasks on his System Panel.
