Over this period of time, Xiao Ze's rate of improvement had been rapid.
Xiao Zhan was not unaware of this.
But he had not expected that, having only just entered the four-star Dou Ling realm, he would reach the strength of a five-star so quickly?
Xiao Zhan's expression turned one of extreme shock!
Xiao Zhan laughed heartily.
He patted Xiao Ze on the shoulder and said, "As expected of my, Xiao Zhan's, son."
"To be a five-star Dou Ling powerhouse at such a young age."
"At this current rate of cultivation, I don't think it will take long."
"In time, you will surely become the youngest Dou Wang powerhouse."
Xiao Zhan spoke these words with immense excitement.
Following this, Xiao Ze merely smiled; he did not speak.
Then, Xiao Zhan looked at him.
"Alright, Ze'er, you continue your cultivation here."
"Father won't disturb you any further; cultivate well."
"The hope of our Xiao Family rests entirely on you and Yan'er, on your generation."
However, although Xiao Zhan said this, he also felt that he himself could not fall behind.
He had to cultivate diligently and reach the Dou Ling realm as soon as possible, so as not to lose face for his son!
"Father will take his leave now; you just cultivate with peace of mind."
"If you need anything at all, just tell Father."
"I may not have much else in the way of ability,"
"but here in Wutan City, my words still carry some weight."
Xiao Zhan patted his own chest as he spoke.
After he departed, Yao Chen emerged from Xiao Ze's ring.
His soul drifted before his eyes.
He watched Xiao Ze, who was currently cultivating, and stroked his beard.
He spoke with great amazement, "Ah, I, Yao Chen, have roamed the continent for years."
"I truly never expected that in my lifetime,"
"especially in such a small country as the Gama Empire in the northwest of the continent,"
"or even in such an insignificant little city,"
"I would be able to witness a student with such cultivation talent."
"Xiao Ze, you truly make this master look at you with ever-increasing admiration."
"To advance to a five-star Dou Ling so quickly? It is simply incredible!"
Yao Chen spoke with profound astonishment.
Although Xiao Ze had received so much praise and commendation, he remained calm.
He was not swayed in the slightest by a few mere compliments.
He continued to sit in meditation and cultivate.
After all, he was bound to Xiao Xuan's Cultivation Panel, so his rate of improvement was naturally swift.
He felt that it would not take long
for him to reach the six-star Dou Ling level; it should not be much of a problem.
Xiao Ze thought to himself.
Then, he closed his eyes and began his cultivation.
After Xiao Zhan left the back mountain, He returned directly to the inner courtyard of the Xiao Family.
His mood was exceptionally good.
Xiao Ze had advanced to the strength of a five-star Dou Ling.
As his father, he could not have been more thrilled.
Just after returning to the inner courtyard.
He saw a few of the Xiao Family's younger generation walking over quickly.
"Patriarch, you're here. I was just looking for you."
Xiao Zhan was somewhat puzzled.
"What is it? Has something happened within the Xiao Family?"
"Why are you in such a rush to find me? Is this the intention of the elders?"
The other party immediately replied.
"Patriarch, the elders invite you to the inner hall; distinguished guests have come to our Xiao Family!"
At this moment, upon hearing this.
Xiao Zhan immediately turned solemn, not daring to show the slightest negligence.
He then immediately quickened his pace and arrived at the inner hall.
He saw Jia Xingtian, the old man who had visited last time.
As the guardian of the Gama Empire Royal Family.
He had come to their Xiao Family once again.
It was truly a great honor.
The elders sitting to the side were also chatting with Jia Xingtian.
He was inquiring about matters concerning Xiao Ze.
After Xiao Zhan entered, he saw Jia Xingtian before him.
And a pair of sisters beside him.
They were the two princesses of the Gama Empire.
One was named Yao Ye, and the other was Yao Yue.
The two sisters were princesses of the Gama Empire.
Not only were their strength and talent formidable.
Most importantly, their status was extremely noble.
After all, they were princesses of the royal family.
"The Patriarch is here. Regarding the matters of Xiao Ze."
"It is better to let the Patriarch explain slowly; he understands the most."
The elders said.
Then Jia Xingtian stood up and greeted Xiao Zhan.
Nowadays, even though he was already a Dou Zong powerhouse.
There was no need for him to be so polite to Xiao Zhan, a mere Grand Dou Shi.
Moreover, he was of the Gama Empire Royal Family!
But the reason he maintained such a respectful attitude toward Xiao Zhan.
Was mainly because Xiao Zhan was different from others.
Perhaps his strength as a Grand Dou Shi did not count for much.
But the point was, he was Xiao Ze's father.
Just for this reason alone, Jia Xingtian had to treat him with seriousness.
"Elder Jia." Xiao Zhan looked at the Jia Xingtian before him.
He then offered a greeting.
He immediately spoke.
"Patriarch Xiao, I have come to visit your Xiao Family today; I hope I haven't disturbed you?"
Xiao Zhan immediately waved his hands, hurriedly saying that he had not.
For the Gama Empire Royal Family to visit their Xiao Family.
They could not be more honored.
A smile hung on Jia Xingtian's face.
He then introduced the pair of sisters beside him.
"This is my great-granddaughter, and also one of the two princesses of the Gama Empire Royal Family."
"Especially my little great-granddaughter, Yao Yue."
"Don't let her age fool you; she is already a third-grade Alchemist."
Hearing the title of Alchemist, the members of the Xiao Family sighed in admiration.
She was truly worthy of being a little princess; at such a young age, she was already a third-grade Alchemist.
It was truly enough to make one sigh in wonder.
Her talent for alchemy was genuinely high.
If it were any other alchemist, they would not possess such high talent and ability.
To be able to become an alchemist at such a young age, and a third-grade one at that.
Yao Yue took the initiative to speak, greeting Xiao Zhan.
Then, she said, "Patriarch Xiao Zhan, I heard from my great-grandfather that Xiao Ze can refine pills above the third grade. Is this true?"
"I don't believe it, which is why I came here this time. I want to have a competition with him to see whose alchemy talent is stronger."
Setting aside third-grade pills, Ze'er could even refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill with a wave of his hand, without the slightest bit of effort.
Xiao Zhan knew this well, but since the other party was a little princess, he spoke with great humility.
However, having said that, seeing the Gama Empire Royal Family place such importance on his son, Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhan felt extremely moved and excited.
"Haha, for Ze'er to be so highly regarded by the Royal Family, even having you come personally from the Imperial Capital to Wutan City, especially with the little princess wanting to compete with him in alchemy—he is truly worthy of being my Ze'er," Xiao Zhan exclaimed.
He then added, "Ze'er is cultivating in the back mountain; I just came down from there. Since that is the case, I will go call him down right now."
Just as Xiao Zhan finished speaking and was about to rise, Jia Xingtian immediately said, "No need."
He then added, "Since Xiao Ze is cultivating, there is no need to rush. It is fine; we can talk whenever he comes down. There is no hurry anyway. It would be bad if we interrupted Xiao Ze's cultivation."
Jia Xingtian still hoped to leave a good impression on Xiao Ze.
