Recall

When Xiao Han returned to the Langya Pavilion, the first thing he saw was a stunningly beautiful face still radiating anger. Instantly, his good mood, which had been brought about by his great success, vanished.

"Huang'er, what are you doing here?" Xiao Han groaned inwardly. What was this? He'd been caught red-handed.

Setting down the documents she was reviewing, Yi Huang looked up expressionlessly, then suddenly smiled and said softly:

"Our Grand Pavilion Master is back?"

"It wasn't for nothing that I've been waiting for you here!"

It's murderous intent, absolutely murderous intent!

Xiao Han felt goosebumps rising all over his body and quickly explained, "I just went out to explore some Ruins this time."

To make his excuses more convincing, Xiao Han lit up his Storage Ring, and more than ten orbs of light and five or six Storage Ring floated in the air, presented to Yi Huang.

"Hmm?" Yi Huang frowned slightly, casually picked up one and looked at it directly. Then, her expression calmed down a little.

Then, he casually probed his Soul Strength into a ball of light and exclaimed in surprise, "Heaven Tier Dou Technique?"

Yi Huang never expected that this seemingly random ball of light would actually be a Heaven Tier Dou Technique. Even after all these years of development, excluding the unique Dou Techniques of the Langya Pavilion experts like Xiao Han, the Langya Pavilion only possessed a dozen or so Heaven Tier Dou Technique. And now, the number had more than doubled?

Even if they aren't all Heaven Tier Dou Technique, the items that can be put together are probably of high quality.

A questioning look was cast over Xiao Han. "And Alchemist Inheritance Ruins did you rob this time?"

To be able to produce so many high-quality items, Yi Huang couldn't think of any other possibility besides a high-level Alchemist.

Xiao Han chuckled and said, "We just found the Ruins of an Ancient Sect."

Yi Huang's eyes widened suddenly. "Ancient Sect?"

She clicked her tongue in extreme envy, "You really are lucky!"

Is this the epitome of finding money on the street? The results of a single exploration of the Ruins are almost catching up with the development of their Langya Pavilion over many years.

The saying goes, "No man gets rich without windfall gains, and no horse gets fat without night grazing." It's absolutely true!

Mentioning the Ruins, Yi Huang seemed to recall something, her crescent-shaped eyes fixed on Xiao Han. "Tell me, how did you know that the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was born in that Saint Relic?"

"What?" Xiao Han asked with a look of "shock," "There's Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the Ruins?"

Her expression was quite sincere. If she hadn't already known Xiao Han's character, Yi Huang might have been swayed by the lake.

Yi Huang, a mocking smile on her lips, asked with amusement, "Do you know what happened while you were gone?"

"What?" Xiao Han was taken aback and asked subconsciously.

"Hehe~" Yi Huang chuckled a few times.

"The Third Elder Zhu Li of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, Zhu Li, personally paid a visit to thank the Ice Saint for providing them with information about the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe's Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."

Is this true?

Xiao Han's expression changed as soon as Yi Huang mentioned that Zhu Li personally come to visit. It can only be said that he had encountered a bunch of useless teammates!

Xiao Han coughed lightly a few times and said, "I only know a little about the owner of that Ruins."

At this point, all I can do is try to make a pretext. "The owner of the Ruins should be the Creation Saint. I have read about him in ancient books."

"Oh?" Yi Huang's tone shifted several times before finally changing, "I see!"

He immediately stopped asking questions.

Xiao Han was hiding a secret, so how could Yi Huang, as his wife, not know? But she also knew that the former was not faking his feelings for her and would not do anything that would harm her friends and family. So Yi Huang was happy to play dumb.

As he spoke, he tossed out another jet-black jade token, which Xiao Han caught with lightning speed. After glancing at it briefly, Xiao Han said in surprise:

"Is it Gu Tribe Coming-of-Age Ceremony?"

Yi Huang nodded and said, "That's right."

"The Gu Tribe Coming-of-Age Ceremony, which takes place once every twenty years, will begin in three months. As Super faction in the Central Plains, we naturally cannot be absent."

Then, Yi Huang's tone changed, becoming suggestive as she said, "Some preparations should be made as soon as possible!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Han pondered, "Has the selection of attendees from within the pavilion for this Coming-of-Age Ceremony been finalized?"

Yi Huang nodded, "I will call Xian'er back this time and have her and Xinlan go over there."

Xiao Wu and the other two who participated in the coming- Coming-of-Age Ceremony have now reached the Dou Sheng level. They have not appeared in public for many years and belong to the hidden power of the Langya Pavilion. They should not be touched lightly.

Since that's the case, if we want to choose someone of sufficient stature, then it would be Xian'er, this girl at the Dou Zun Peak. As for Ye Xinlan, she's just someone we'll take out to broaden her horizons.

Yi Huang's words suddenly reminded Xiao Han that he seemed to have another disciple who had been thrown out. It had been so long, and he wondered how the disciple was doing.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, exhausted after being brutally beaten by several Elders of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, was meditating cross-legged.

Although Xiao Wu has been the one getting beaten up since arriving at the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, his strength has improved rapidly, and his physical strength has also increased significantly.

"I really don't know how the teacher found such a group of terrifying guys." After finishing his cultivation, Xiao Wu's first thing to do was to routinely complain about Xiao Han's actions.

In Xiao Wu's view, the Heavenly Barbarian Sect was simply a gathering place for monsters.

Such a large number of Dou Sheng Expert is quite rare even in Central Plains. At least, apart from the Langya Pavilion, Xiao Wu did not know of any other force that possessed them.

Xiao Han, who could mobilize the Heavenly Barbarian Sect with a single letter, became increasingly terrifying in Xiao Wu's mind. He still remembered when Xiao Han produced that Recommendation Letter, the Heavenly Barbarian Sect took it very seriously, arranging all sorts of sparring partners for him thoroughly.

In fact, Xiao Han simply used the simplest method—spending money!

With a few Ninth Grade Pill thrown at him, the Elder of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect naturally wouldn't refuse Xiao Wu's "reasonable" request to "refine" him.

Just as Xiao Wu was enjoying his hard-won leisure time, Xian'er's aloof figure swiftly flew over from afar.

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"We should go!" Xian'er flicked her finger, sending the jade slip in her hand flying towards Xiao Wu, who caught it and continued:

"The teacher said that the Gu Tribe Coming-of-Age Ceremony is about to begin, and I will be needed to attend as the representative of the clan."

"Coming-of-Age Ceremony!" Xiao Wu's memories from twenty years ago flooded back into his mind. Back then, he was just a young man who had just entered the Dou Zun, and he even joined forces with the Langya Guard to capture the Four Heavenly Venerates of the Soul Hall alive.

Twenty years later, the former Dou Zun had become a powerful Dou Sheng. Xiao Wu sighed, "Time flies!"

Turning around, he saw Xian'er looking at him with an extremely strange expression. His tone was solemn, mixed with intense worry:

"Are you sick? Let's go back quickly and have your teacher take a look!"

"Sick?" Xiao Wu was taken aback. He carefully examined himself and found that he was perfectly normal and in excellent health.

Xian'er's next words made a black line appear on his forehead, "If you weren't seriously ill, how could you be so serious?"

Has my carefree and irresponsible image become so deeply ingrained in people's minds?

With a helpless sigh, Xiao Wu stood up. "Shouldn't we go say goodbye?"

With the agreed-upon two-year period ending soon, his return is only a matter of time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu transformed into a streak of white Flowing Light and sped towards the distant Heavenly Barbarian Sect Main Hall.
