Return After the Breakthrough
Many of the forces that were on good terms with the Xiao family had already heard the news that the Xiao Household was planning to move to Central Plains.
Therefore, the feelings of all parties involved are quite complicated.
I'm definitely envious!
Who with the strength to stand tall in the Central Plains would want to stay in such a remote corner of the Northwest Continent?
Unfortunately, most forces don't have that qualification.
While envious of the Xiao Household's move to Central Plains, various factions also felt a sense of relief.
After all, the Xiao Household is too powerful now!
It's so powerful that it's suffocating all sides.
The resources in the Northwest Continent are limited. As the Xiao Household grows stronger, most other forces will naturally have access to fewer resources.
However, the Xiao Household's strength was undeniable, and they simply couldn't compete with them!
You can only pick up scraps from others if they don't want them.
Therefore, even though the Xiao Household has never shown any aggression after becoming stronger, many forces are still uneasy about it.
Think about it, if there's a tiger lying next to you, even if it doesn't eat you, you'd still be afraid!
The same principle applies to reality.
To the many powers in the Northwest Continent, the Xiao Household is now the tiger.
However, that applies to those forces that don't have much to do with the Xiao Household.
As for those forces that are close to the Xiao Household, there's no need to elaborate.
With the rise of the Xiao Household, they basically benefited as well.
Similar to the Misty Cloud Sect, the Jia Ma Royal House, the Mu Household, the Nalan Family, the Mittel Family, and other forces, many powerful individuals at the Dou Huang Realm have also emerged in recent years.
In Central Plains, perhaps Dou Emperor) is nothing special.
In the Northwest Continent, however, Dou Emperor can absolutely dominate a region!
After returning to the Northwest Continent, Xiao Lin, having nothing better to do, visited each of these forces.
Besides leaving each of the forces that were on good terms with the Xiao Household Storage Ring containing various resources, he also caught up with many old friends.
Xiao Lin's arrival was naturally welcomed by all parties.
During this time, Xiao Lin would occasionally chat, drink tea, and play chess with these former friends.
In short, Xiao Lin was living a very comfortable life!
The resources Xiao Lin left for these forces were mainly various Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Method, and Dou Technique.
For the succession of a power, these three things are the most important!
Xiao Lin is now one of the strongest experts on the Dou Qi Continent. Giving back to his old friends and making them happy makes him happy too!
This is what daily life is like for the elderly.
It's just that I was in a good mood and casually offered a little opportunity, right?
Moreover, Xiao Lin will also leave behind some of his own legacy in certain places.
For example, places like the bottom of a cliff or in a deep, cold pool.
In this way, if someone is desperate and jumps off a cliff or into a pool of water, they might actually receive a portion of Xiao Lin's inheritance!
Of course, that's only true if you're the main character.
This is an opportunity that only the protagonist would have!
For Ordinary, jumping off a cliff or into a pool of water is a sure way to die!
This could be considered one of Xiao Lin's peculiar tastes.
Believe it or not, countless years later, after Xiao Lin had gone to the Greater World, there were indeed people who obtained his inheritance and made a name for themselves on the Dou Qi Continent.
However, that's a story for another time.
It's still uncertain who will seize the opportunities left behind by Xiao Lin in the future.
And so, Xiao Lin spent a year leisurely and carefree.
This idyllic life made Xiao Lin feel as if he were living in his previous life, rather than in such a dangerous place as the Dou Qi Continent!
Finally, it wasn't until Xiao Yan and the others returned from the Nether Serpent Earth Vein that Xiao Lin ended this kind of life and returned to the Starfall Pavilion in Central Plains.
This time, Xiao Yan and his companions' trip to the Nether Serpent Earth Vein was naturally very fruitful!
No, it should be said that their gains exceeded Xiao Yan and the others' expectations!
Just like in the Original Work, after Xiao Yan and his group arrived at the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, they didn't bother to deal with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan at all and headed straight for the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
Because of the unique environment there, Medusa used the Nine-Colored Origin Stone she obtained at the Space Trading Assembly to enter it and begin her transformation.
It seems that when Medusa emerges from seclusion, she will no longer be the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, but the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!
Therefore, Medusa did not return with Xiao Yan this time; she is still undergoing her transformation in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
Among those who did not return, besides Medusa, there was also Xiao Yi Xian.
In the Original Work, although Xiao Yi Xian had already resolved the negative effects of the Woeful Poison Body, she was still unable to cultivate using the waters of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
Even the waters of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs are harmful to her!
But this life is different; she now possesses a Netherworld Poison Flame that is perfectly suited to her!
With the help of the Netherworld Poison Flame, Xiao Yi Xian can also use the water of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs for cultivation.
It is for this reason that Xiao Yi Xian stayed in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs in this life, accompanying Medusa while cultivating.
Although Xiao Lin was reluctant to part with the two women, he was relatively at ease knowing they were together.
Next up are the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
Relatively speaking, they gained fewer benefits from this trip to the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, but that doesn't mean they didn't improve at all.
When their trip to the Heavenly Tomb ended, the two brothers were around eight or nine stars in the Dou Venerable.
Now, there is one Three-Star Dou Venerable and one Two-Turn Dou Venerable, which can be considered as entering the ranks of High-Level Dou Venerable.
Another student whose improvement was relatively small was Nalan Yanran.
She specializes in Sword Dao, and the environment of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs offers no particular advantage for her cultivation.
However, it must be said that Nalan Yanran is indeed quite talented in Sword Dao.
Her cultivation level didn't improve much during this trip; she's only Seven-Star Dou Venerable now.
But she created her own Dou Technique called the Yellow Springs Sword Art!
With a single strike, the force was like the backflow of the Yellow Springs, its power quite formidable.
Finally, the person who improved the most was Qing Lin.
She's already Dou Sheng!
Furthermore, he directly broke through to the Late-Stage Two-Star Dou Sheng!
He was just one step away from becoming Three-Star Dou Sheng.
This improvement is absolutely phenomenal, like taking a rocket!
However, it's quite normal for her to have such an improvement.
Because, in this life, neither Yao Xiaotian nor the First Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan died.
They were saved by Ling Miao before they were killed by Yao Ming.
However, the two of them are now better off dead than alive.
Yes, due to Ling Miao's intervention, the two of them are enslaved by Qing Lin in this life.
It was precisely because he enslaved two Dou Sheng Experts that Qing Lin's strength increased so dramatically.
All I can say is that the deaths of the two characters in the Original Work were a real waste of resources!
In this life, the two of them were essentially used by Qing Lin, a useless person.
This is the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!
As long as the serpentine magical beasts you enslave are strong enough and numerous enough, your own strength will also increase!
Finally, there's Xiao Yan.
If Qing Lin improved the most on this trip, then Xiao Yan gained the most!
