Xiao Tian, the Xiao Clan's Peerless Genius; Misty Cloud Sect Enraged!

Xiao Zhan was so shocked he could not speak. What? A Grade-Five medicinal pill refined by himself?

He examined it carefully and saw several cloud-like patterns on the pill. This was... pill veining? How was that possible?

To refine pill veining, how high did one's alchemy attainments have to be?

It looked like a Grade-Five medicinal pill, but its effects rivaled some Grade-Six medicinal pills. Such a pill would be priceless even at an auction.

Looking at Xiao Tian before him, Xiao Zhan's face was filled with pride.

"Those are pill veins?"

"No way. This is the first time in my life I've seen a medicinal pill with pill veins. Young Master is incredible."

"Yeah, he's even better than that so-called Pill King Gu He."

A Grade-Six Alchemist—what did that mean? Even major sects would seek to recruit someone like that. Even Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire was only Grade Six.

Everyone in the Xiao Clan revealed excited expressions. If it had been anyone else, they could only have envied them, but this was their Young Master!

At such a young age, he was already a Dou Emperor and a Grade-Six Alchemist. It would be hard for the Xiao Clan not to rise!

The three elders, whose faces had been tense all this time, finally revealed delighted smiles. Stroking their beards, they were incomparably thrilled. The Xiao Clan had produced a true dragon!

As elders of the Xiao Clan, they were naturally delighted. When they went out in the future, they would be honored as well. A Grade-Six Alchemist of the Xiao Clan—what boundless glory!

Xiao Yan looked at the dazzling Xiao Tian. "Big Brother really is amazing. I never expected him to be a Grade-Six Alchemist too. I'm afraid I'll never catch up to him in this lifetime."

"Just now, I was still thinking that I might be able to surpass Big Brother. Now there isn't even the slightest hope."

Beside him, Xiao Xun'er held a book in both hands and revealed a sweet smile. "Brother Xiao Yan, if Brother Xiao Tian has such talent, that proves your original talent wasn't bad either."

"Xun'er has always believed in Brother Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan looked at the somewhat adorable Xiao Xun'er and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah. Thank you, Sister Xun'er, for always supporting me."

At this moment, Medicine Elder inside the ring was utterly stunned by Xiao Tian's performance. Such a genius—he only regretted that they had not met earlier, or he would definitely have taken him as his disciple.

However, since Xiao Tian's talent was so heaven-defying, Xiao Yan would not be lacking either. If Medicine Elder had not absorbed his Dou Qi, he would probably be a little genius by now.

Cough, cough. Thinking of this, Medicine Elder gave a dry cough. Based on his observations over the past few years, Xiao Yan was a decent person.

There was no way Xiao Yan could be a treacherous disciple like Han Feng, who had stabbed him in the back and caused his downfall. Recalling the past, Medicine Elder could not help sighing.

Xiao Xun'er put down the ancient book in her hands, then walked over to Xiao Yan with bandages and a medicine bottle. "Brother Xiao Yan, have you forgotten that you're injured?"

Only then did Xiao Yan freeze. Raising his hand, he saw the bright red blood, which was especially glaring. "It's fine, just a minor injury. A real man wouldn't be afraid of this little pain."

Before he could finish, Xiao Xun'er had already begun applying medicine and bandaging him.

Watching all this, Xiao Yan made up his mind. From today onward, he would cultivate diligently and ensure that everyone who cared about him, and everyone he cared about, would no longer be disappointed.

"Hiss!"

The instant a drop of medicine landed on his palm, a piercing pain shot through him. Xiao Xun'er raised her delicate hand to cover her cherry lips and smiled softly. "Brother Xiao Yan always tries to act tough. You just said it wouldn't hurt."

Before Xiao Yan could react, Xiao Xun'er had already finished bandaging his hand. She had even tied a butterfly knot, and it looked very pretty.

Looking at the medicinal pill before him, Xiao Zhan began to worry. Xiao Tian was too dazzling now. For a genius youth, he did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Many geniuses died before they could rise. Being too dazzling was not necessarily a good thing.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's expression, Xiao Tian understood his concern. To be honest, now that his Great Sage Equaling Heaven Bloodline had awakened, Seventy-Two Transformations alone was already enough to make him unstoppable throughout the Dou Qi Continent!

No one could hurt even a single hair on his head!

"Father, I understand your concerns."

"You should accept it."

Only then did Xiao Zhan put it away, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. "Good, good. Since that is the case, Father has no reason to keep refusing."

"However, the Misty Cloud Sect definitely will not swallow this humiliation."

Xiao Tian slowly said, "Father, there is no need to worry. If the Misty Cloud Sect disregards its status and attacks our Xiao Clan, I will personally destroy the Misty Cloud Sect."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire crowd was shocked once more. How domineering! This was what a man of the Xiao Clan should be! They all began cheering, their blood boiling!

Everyone in the Xiao Clan stood united, sharing a common hatred for the enemy.

Looking at Xiao Tian, Xiao Yan was also proud to have such a big brother. Only true strength could protect everything.

He could not let Big Brother bear all of this alone!

Medicine Elder slowly spoke at this moment. "Little fellow, that is a good way of thinking, but becoming stronger is not so easy."

"Do you have some good method?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Of course. As long as you take me as your master, I can help you rise quickly. What do you say?" Medicine Elder said slowly. At this point, this was the only way. The little fellow seemed promising.

Perhaps he truly might have a chance to be resurrected. After all, the persistence in Xiao Yan's heart was something others did not possess.

And now that Xiao Yan had a Dou Emperor brother, he could grow even faster.

After considering it again and again, Xiao Yan finally agreed. "All right, I'll take you as my master. This disciple, Xiao Yan, greets Master!"

Medicine Elder laughed heartily. "Good, good. Xiao Yan, since that is the case, your master will truly begin teaching you."

"My name is Yao Chen. You may call me Medicine Elder!"

"Mm." Xiao Yan nodded, then continued asking curiously, "By the way, Master, are you better at alchemy than my brother?"

Yao Chen stroked his beard and laughed. "Of course. Back then, refining Grade-Six medicinal pills was as easy as turning my hand. Study well under me, and your future achievements may even surpass your brother's!"

Xiao Yan wore a doubtful expression. "Really? Why does it feel like you're fooling me? Grade-Six medicinal pills aren't simple. You're lying."

Medicine Elder smiled smugly. "Why would I lie to you? That so-called Pill King Gu He you people keep talking about is nothing but a fart in this old man's eyes!"

"I didn't expect you to be so formidable. You don't even think Gu He is worth mentioning, so what about my big brother?" Xiao Yan continued asking.

Medicine Elder gave a dry cough. "Ah, the weather is wonderful today. By the way, Xiao Yan, it would be best if no second person knew about the matter between us."

"Leave your cultivation to your master! Your master is tired and needs to rest."

Xiao Yan looked curious. "Master? Master!"

Why was there no response? Xiao Tian placed one hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder. "Fourth Brother, Father has something to discuss with you!"

After seeing his big brother, Xiao Yan suddenly understood. Could Master be afraid of Big Brother? Didn't he just say he was very powerful?

Misty Cloud Sect.

The sect stood atop the peaks of a mountain range, surrounded by mist and clouds as though it touched the heavens. A thin haze draped the entire mountain like gauze, while sunlight filtered through the clouds, forming beams of golden light. It was like a celestial realm.

Inside an ancient and elegant room, a terrifying aura erupted. "Xiao Clan, you have some nerve! How dare you humiliate my Misty Cloud Sect like this!"

The enraged old man was the Misty Cloud Sect's First Elder, Yun Leng, a five-star Dou Wang.
