In the reception hall, everyone took their seats and chatted and laughed for a while. Leng Bingshuang then learned that after Murong Qianqian left her family, she came here alone and stayed in the Liu Clan under Bai Hua's care. Over the years, Murong Qianqian and Bai Hua had developed a deeper affection for each other.
Leng Bingshuang Leng Bingshuang was also surprised by this. She never expected that the little girl's feelings for Xiao Yan would eventually develop into this. While she was surprised, she also felt a sense of relief. Otherwise, there would probably have been more trouble between her and Murong Qianqian.
Thinking of this, Leng Bingshuang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why, but everything related to Xiao Yan seemed to make her nervous without her even realizing it. Even her mood would change with Xiao Yan. In her heart, Xiao Yan's position seemed to have become more and more extraordinary.
"Hehe, Sister Bing Shuang, I didn't expect you to end up with Xiao Yan. Weren't you quite cold to him back then? Turns out it was all an act."
In the hall, Murong Qianqian, too lazy to listen to the boring conversation among the group of men, jogged up behind Leng Bingshuang, bent down and hugged Leng Bingshuang who was sitting in a chair in front of her. Her delicate red lips were close to Leng Bingshuang's pink ear, and her playful words made Leng Bingshuang's cheeks blush. At the same time, she couldn't help but turn her head and lightly spit. She reached out to pinch Murong Qianqian's slender waist, but the latter cleverly dodged it.
"Hehe, Sister Bing Shuang, do you often say this to Xiao Yan?"
The wicked laughter reached Leng Bingshuang's ears, causing her to blush and become angry. At the same time, she slapped the girl's soft breasts, and the girl immediately cried out in surprise, quickly retreating. Meanwhile, a mocking smile appeared on Leng Bingshuang face.
Immediately afterwards, the two sisters started playing together again.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, Luo Jin, and the others continued their discussion about the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.
"As far as I know, only one drop of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva can be formed every fifty years. I wonder if Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva still exists in the Burning Flame Valley now."
Amidst the conversation, Luo Jin dropped a bombshell on everyone present.
Upon hearing this, many people present nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and the environmental conditions required for its formation were extremely demanding. It was already quite difficult to condense a single drop of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva every fifty years. If they missed the opportunity for the formation of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva because of this, then it could only be said to be the will of heaven.
Upon hearing Luo Jin's words, the hearts of everyone present sank slightly, and the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited within them began to waver.
"Ah, if that's the case, then perhaps we haven't missed our chance..."
As everyone pondered, Zhou Tai spoke again, and with a single sentence, he successfully drew everyone's attention.
"After joining the Alchemist Alliance, I learned a bit about the Three Sects of the Southern Region. I read in a sect scroll that Burning Flame Valley holds a grand event every twenty-five years, which is their sect competition."
"This sect competition is divided into two parts: one is a contest between the sect's top disciples, and the other is a contest between the sect's elders. The Ancestor Fen Tian will select one from each of these groups to receive a reward personally bestowed by the Ancestor. As for what that reward is, no one knows. However, I think that if we're lucky, the reward might just be the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. And the next sect competition we'll be facing is in two months!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin exchanged a glance, their expressions identical.
"How long does it take to get from Qingyang City to Burning Flame Valley?"
"With our team, we should be able to arrive in at most half a month."
"Half a month...?"
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't be entirely certain that the sect competition was related to the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, this was the only arrangement he could make for now.
The matter with the Sea Cloud Palace has not yet been completely resolved. If they leave now, and Sea Cloud Palace were to make a comeback, Qingyang City would surely be lost. Therefore, it would be best for them to stay here before heading to Burning Flame Valley.
In the following days, things became much calmer in Qingyang City. Perhaps due to the great battle a few days ago, the number of people in Qingyang City not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
Especially when many people in the city learned that the Liu Clan had defeated the Palace Master of the Sea Cloud Palace, the people in the city cheered for the Liu Clan even more. Many forces from neighboring cities also drove over and gathered in front of the Liu Clan family mansion. Their obsequious appearance made people sneer.
Normally, these guys would guard their own territory and never have anything to do with the Liu Clan, for fear that Sea Cloud Palace would cause them trouble. But now, seeing that the Palace Master of the Sea Cloud Palace had been humiliated by the Liu Clan, they all rushed over to fawn over him, either respectfully agreeing or complaining. Some even went so far as to debase themselves and curse him to show their loyalty. And judging from their practiced manner, they must have done this kind of thing many times before.
Although the Liu Clan was full of disdain for these people who were just adding to the glory, and even wished they could kick them, Xiao Yan stopped them. Instead of turning them away, he set up several large courtyards to receive them.
By the end of the day, the Liu Clan Liu Clan had collected quite a few treasures, including high-level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, precious pills, and rare and exotic items that were rarely seen in ordinary times.
The valuables in the entire courtyard were piled up like a mountain, and all of these things combined were several times more than the Liu Clan's profits for an entire year.
In Xiao Yan's words, going against these people can be seen as clever, but going against these treasures can only be described as foolish.
Since someone has brought money to my door, why not accept it? There's no need to be polite with these guys. Since I'm already here, I should leave my things here before I go.
With this economic support, the Liu Clan's overall strength will likely be able to reach a new level.
While Fu Yulong was boldly collecting money from various places in Qingyang City, in the Sea Cloud Palace, Fu Yulong, filled with resentment, saw the same person who had been there before.
Wu Kui.
"Hmph, are you satisfied now? There's more than just one powerful figure in Qingyang City. There's a young man with Heavenly Flames who even I have to be extremely cautious when dealing with..."
"His name is Xiao Yan, isn't it?"
