Departure

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Nalan Jie was somewhat confused and asked, "Master Lin, may I ask who that person is?"

"Xiao Yan!" Lin Qing said with a smile:

"He might not be able to solve it right now, but his teacher is also an Eighth-Rank Alchemist and possesses Heavenly Flames, which can solve your problem. Of course, you'll have to be prepared with the reward!"

After all, Xiao Yan is his cousin and now the son-in-law of the Nalan Family. It's best to let him handle this matter himself. I believe Yao Chen will take good care of it for him.

If Xiao Yan didn't ask him for help with this matter, he would still be indebted to him. If Xiao Yan did ask him for help again, then Xiao Yan would owe him two favors. Since ancient times, the debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay. Perhaps for some people, gratitude is nothing, but for Xiao Yan, it is a small favor that he would repay with great gratitude.

"Thank you very much, Master Lin. This small gift is nothing but a token of my appreciation!"

As he spoke, Nalan Jie took out more than a dozen Jade Box from his Storage Ring. These Jade Box contained Medicinal Herb and Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills.

Looking at these things, Lin Qing smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Nalan, I cannot accept gifts without having done anything for them. Please take them back!"

These things are extremely precious to a Dou Wang family, and worth his effort, but given his current cultivation level and wealth, he doesn't care about such things.

Besides, he didn't even make a move, did he? If he needed anything, he could have his men find it or refine some Medicinal Pill to exchange for it; there was no need for him to take advantage of him.

There's a saying that goes, "You can't buy his willingness with a thousand pieces of gold." When he's happy, he'll casually offer some pointers and give you something; when he's not happy, there's nothing anyone can do about it. That's the confidence of a high-level Alchemist.

"No, no, no, if it weren't for Master Lin, I wouldn't even know about this! Consider this my tea fee for Master Lin!"

Seeing that Nalan Jie insisted, Lin Qing did not refuse any longer and said slowly, "I heard that you have a Seven Mirage Green Spirit Saliva, which Xiao Yan's master or Xiao Yan himself can use. You can start from this point."

Lin Qing was straightforward, while Nalan Jie quickly responded, "Alright, then I'll visit my grandson-in-law tomorrow."

"I won't take these Medicinal Herbs and Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills from you for nothing. This is a King-Breaking Pill, which can greatly increase the chances of Peak Dou Ling breaking through to Dou Wang."

After thinking for a while, Lin Qing took out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring and tossed it to Nalan Jie.

Nalan Jie happily accepted the Jade Bottle and quickly stored it in his Storage Ring.

After thanking him again, Nalan Jie left happily. Upon learning that his grandson-in-law Xiao Yan had become the disciple of an Eighth-Rank Alchemist, he understood that Nalan Yanran of the Nalan Family had climbed the social ladder.

Although it's unlikely that Xiao Yan will reach Lin Qing's level, surpassing Pill King Gu He is still within his reach.

Nalan Jie had no doubt about this. With Lin Qing, an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster Alchemist, added to the mix, the Nalan Family could prosper for at least a century by aligning themselves with the Xiao Clan family.

At this moment, he was also grateful that he had been engaged to Xiao Lin, and that he and Sect Master Yun had not let their granddaughter act recklessly. Together with Sect Master Yun and Xiao Zhan, they had set a wedding date for the two of them. Now he just wanted to prepare properly and visit his grandson-in-law tomorrow.

After Nalan Jie left, Lin Qing put all the Jade Box on the table into his Storage Ring.

The mere cost of tea is so valuable; Alchemist truly deserve to be the wealthiest group on the Dou Qi Continent, their earning power is unmatched by any other group.

If it were another expert of the same level, they wouldn't receive such a generous reward.

"Xiao Yan, I hope you can give me some surprises!"

Lin Qing looked out of the room. A full moon hung high in the sky, and he thought of Xiao Yan, who was also a transmigrator.

He eagerly awaited the rebirth of Flame Emperor, who always spoke of good fortune to everyone he met, yet secretly worked harder than anyone else.

Whether the fallen Xiao Clan can rise again on the continent depends on the Xiao Clan members themselves, and Xiao Yan is that person.

But he will eventually have to start his own business.

The next day.

Nalan Jie then went to Xiao Yan's Small Courtyard, and several hours later, he emerged with a smile on his face as Xiao Yan saw him off.

Although his smile was somewhat pale, his steps were noticeably lighter, indicating that he had had a very good harvest.

Three days later, the guests left one after another, especially the Jia Ma Imperial Family. Although they did not form a marriage alliance with the Xiao Clan, they still managed to get closer to them.

Although the Nalan Family still allied with the Xiao Clan, they have now all pledged allegiance to the Green Emperor Pavilion, which can be considered as having latched onto a powerful patron.

Moreover, they also obtained the Primordial Bone-Shaping Pill, so this trip wasn't a complete loss.

After the guests left, Lin Qing Lin successfully broke through to the Dou Emperor. Lin Qing then led his group to rent a fleet of Flying Magical Beast from the Mittel Family and headed to the Jia Ma Sacred City in a grand procession.

He was somewhat helpless that they had to ride Flying Magical Beast for such a short distance, mainly because some members of the Xiao Clan were not yet Dou Wang and could not fly.

Otherwise, he, Zi Yan Qing Lin, and the others would have arrived at full speed in less than a day.

Several days later, atop Flying Magical Beast, Lin Qing stood outside the house gazing into the distance. Not far away, a massive city was faintly visible in the sky.

As the capital of an empire, even if that empire is only a second-rate power in the Northwest, it still has a considerable population. At least in terms of scale and population, this city is larger than any city in the Black-Corner Region, including Canaan City.

It was once prosperous, and one can feel a sense of antiquity and vicissitude from its city walls.

Just as Lin Qing was quietly observing the city.

"Jia Ma Sacred City, it's been so many years since I've been here!" Xiao Zhan's voice came from behind Lin Qing.

Lin Qing knew that Xiao Zhan and the elders had all grown up in Jia Ma Sacred City, which was why their desire to return to Jia Ma Sacred City was an obsession.

"Uncle, don't worry this time, nothing like what happened before will happen again!" Lin Qing said with a smile, trying to reassure him.

These past few days, the elders and uncles have been both nervous and apprehensive. Although everything has changed, they still feel excited and expectant.

"Hehe, Lin Qing, the Xiao Clan's current prosperity and even its return to the Jia Ma Sacred City are all because of you!"

The Great Elder stroked his beard and gave a faint smile.

"Is this the Jia Ma Sacred City?" Xiao Yan also stepped out of the room and looked towards the Jia Ma Sacred City.

"It's truly incredibly prosperous!" This was the first time Xiao Yan, who had never traveled far from home, had ever seen such a massive city, whether in his somewhat hazy memories of his past life or this one.

"Hehe, Little Flame, while this kind of city might be acceptable in the Northwest, it's practically everywhere in the Central Plains! Also, the lack of Spatial Barrier shows that this empire doesn't have any Dou Zun expert! At least not now! Once you've traveled to the Central Plains and explored the continent, you'll find that this kind of city is just so-so!"

'Teacher, you're right. And one day I will become Dou Venerable!'

Xiao Yan stood with his hands on his hips, looking very spirited.

"Alright, we're almost there, everyone get ready!" Lin Qing said to the people behind him.
