Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Gu He asked from the side, "What broken engagement?"

Yun Yun looked at Gu He and briefly explained what Nalan Yanran had told her earlier.

Gu He said calmly, "If that is the case, then that Xiao Clan youth is indeed unworthy of a talent like Yanran. This engagement really should be broken!"

Seeing that even Gu He thought the engagement should be broken, Nalan Yanran became even more determined.

Yun Yun then said, "Since it is a broken engagement, you should naturally prepare some compensation. Yanran, bring some pills from the sect and have a sect elder accompany you!"

Nalan Yanran's face immediately lit up with delight. "Yes, Master!"

"Remember, do not be arrogant. When you go to the Xiao Clan, do not make a spectacle of it. Just make things clear with your fiancé and his father!" Yun Yun reminded her once more.

Nalan Yanran was overjoyed at the moment. No matter what she heard, she agreed to it all.

Watching Nalan Yanran's departing figure, Yun Yun murmured, "I always feel like something is going to happen!"

Gu He looked at Yun Yun and said, "Perhaps you have been working too hard. Most of the sect's affairs should still be handed over to those elders!"

Yun Yun nodded. "Mm. Yun Leng has reflected long enough this time. Let him return and resume his duties."

Within the imperial palace.

Jia Xing Tian said to Jia He, "That person today was truly terrifying!"

Jia He nodded. "Indeed. Unfortunately, I cannot forcibly kill him now. If a peak four-star Dou Sect wants to flee, I still cannot stop him!"

"But fortunately, I know where he is hiding, so there is no need to worry about him escaping!"

Upon hearing Jia He's words, Jia Xing Tian was immediately startled. "Where is he?"

Jia He smiled faintly. "Right within the Misty Cloud Sect!"

"What?" Jia Xing Tian sprang from his chair in shock.

Then Jia Xing Tian frowned. "I saw Yun Yun today, and she seemed utterly unfamiliar with that black mist. It did not seem fake. How could she possibly be colluding with someone like that?"

Jia He said, "Not Yun Yun. The only person in the Misty Cloud Sect who should know of that man's existence is probably the previous sect leader, Yun Shan!"

"You are saying Yun Shan is colluding with that man?" Jia Xing Tian demanded angrily.

Jia He said, "Correct. Yun Shan lacks talent, yet he is obsessively fixated on reaching the Dou Sect realm. The Soul Hall member may have made some sort of deal with Yun Shan, which is why they joined forces."

Jia Xing Tian frowned. "Then what should we do now? Go directly to the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Jia He shook his head. "No need. Even if Yun Shan has broken through to the Dou Sect realm, he is still useless, so there is nothing to fear. As for Wu Ying, he is merely a Soul Hall Protector and has a mission in the Northwest Continent."

"If we surround and kill him now, it will bring us no benefit. It would only make the Soul Hall send an even stronger Protector!"

Jia Xing Tian nodded. "That is true. Wu Protector is already a four-star Dou Sect. If we kill him and they send a Dou Venerate instead, I fear no one in the entire Northwest Continent would be able to stand against them!"

"But it does not matter. What is most important for us now is increasing our own strength!" Jia He reassured him.

Jia He then said, "Great-Grandfather, you have remained at the peak of the nine-star Dou Emperor realm for a long time. If you change your cultivation technique now, you may lose all your cultivation and have to start over!"

"But if you can break through to the Dou Sect realm before cultivating the Qi Scripture, there will be no problem at all. So, I intend to refine a Dou Sect-Breaking Pill!"

Jia Xing Tian's eyes immediately brightened. He had indeed been trapped at the peak Dou Emperor realm for many years, unable to find the opportunity to break through to Dou Sect.

"A Dou Sect-Breaking Pill... can it really work?" Jia Xing Tian asked Jia He.

Jia He nodded. "A Dou Sect-Breaking Pill can increase the chance of advancing to Dou Sect. With my help, Great-Grandfather's chances of successfully breaking through will be quite high!"

Jia Xing Tian said, "Good, then let us try it!"

Jia He wrote down the recipe for the Dou Sect-Breaking Pill and handed it to Jia Xing Tian. "These medicinal ingredients should all be available in the imperial treasury!"

Jia Xing Tian nodded. "Good. I will be quick!"

Jia Xing Tian soon brought over all the ingredients for the Dou Sect-Breaking Pill. Jia He planned to refine pills for the people of Imperial Prison as well, striving to ensure that at least one Dou Emperor expert emerged within Imperial Prison within three years!

Jia He could also use the pill-refining process to cultivate and stabilize his soul power.

By now, Jia He could refine sixth-grade pills with ease, and his understanding of the path of medicinal pills had also deepened further.

On the Dou Qi Continent, alchemists guarded their pill formulas with extreme secrecy. Unless they were formulas passed down by alchemist organizations or inherited lineages, they were nearly impossible to find elsewhere.

Immersed in the world of medicinal pills, Jia He had gradually begun to explore the path of creating his own pill formulas, though he still needed to improve and test them bit by bit!

Wu Tan City, Xiao Clan.

At this moment, the Xiao Clan—or rather, Xiao Zhan's branch of the clan—was suffering a blow and humiliation.

Nalan Yanran's broken engagement left Xiao Zhan furious. What angered him even more was that, both openly and implicitly, Nalan Yanran seemed to be using the Misty Cloud Sect to pressure them!

The arrogance the young girl displayed when she came to break off the engagement left both Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan utterly humiliated. In the end, she had still forgotten her teacher's instructions.

Only after the three-year agreement was made did Nalan Yanran begin to take seriously this Xiao Clan youth known as trash!

After Nalan Yanran returned to the Misty Cloud Sect, she truthfully told her teacher, Yun Yun, everything that had happened at the Xiao Clan!

Bang!

A jade hand struck the armrest. Yun Yun glared at Nalan Yanran with anger on her beautiful face. "How did I instruct you before you went to break off the engagement?"

Nalan Yanran knelt directly in the main hall and looked at Yun Yun. "Master, this is trouble caused by your disciple, so your disciple will naturally bear it. Since Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan has made a three-year agreement, then I will battle him three years from now!"

"After that battle, if I win, he and I will have nothing to do with each other again. If I lose, I will serve as his slave or servant without a word of complaint!"

Seeing her disciple like this, Yun Yun let out a deep sigh. "With your stubborn nature, you will certainly suffer a great loss someday!"

"Master, I devote myself solely to cultivation. If I can become like you in the future, I will be content!" Nalan Yanran said.

"Enough, enough. For these next three years, stay in the sect and cultivate properly!" Yun Yun waved her hand.

"Yes!" Nalan Yanran replied.

Three months later.

Jia He walked out of the pill-refining chamber and stretched lazily at the entrance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of muffled, thunderous sounds came from Jia He's body. "Peak four-star!"

The moment he stepped out of the pill-refining chamber, Yaoye came looking for him.

"Sister Yaoye, I was just about to look for you!" Jia He said as he looked at Yaoye.

Yaoye said, "I also have something to discuss with you. There seems to be unusual activity along the empire's northeastern border. Poison masters sent by the Cloudrise Empire may have massacred the people of an entire city!"

"Cloudrise?" Jia He frowned.

Yaoye said, "Yes. Poison masters are not opponents ordinary people can handle. I want you to go to the Alchemist Association and borrow some fourth-grade alchemists from President Fama to inspect the northeastern border!"

Jia He said, "The northeast of the empire, near the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

Yaoye said, "Right. Beyond the Magical Beast Mountain Range lies the Tagor Desert, the territory of the Snake-People Tribe. We have stationed heavy forces there, and this time they have also been attacked by poison masters!"

"I happen to need to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to search for medicinal ingredients. Why not let me bring some people over to take a look?" Jia He said.
