Xiao Yan slept for three days. During this time, Qin Yun came countless times, but each time no one answered the door, leaving him feeling turned away. Although he felt resentful, Qin Yun calmed down and waited patiently for Xiao Yan to wake up.
In another pavilion near Xiao Yan's, Yan He had been keeping watch for three days, observing Xiao Yan's movements, which prevented Han Dong Xiao Yan getting close to him.
Only then did Xiao Yan, who was in the dormitory, slowly wake up.
His sleepy eyes opened with a slight tremor, and the scene before him became clear. Although three days of sleep had been quite long, it had at least helped Xiao Yan recover considerably.
Besides, it had been far too long since he had slept so freely without any restraint.
After stretching his limbs slightly, Xiao Yan was about to step out of the room when, as if remembering something, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes. He quickly raised his hand, and with a thought, the Storage Ring on his finger flickered slightly. Then, a ball of milky-white energy, about the size of a washbasin, appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.
This ball of light was none other than Xiao Xuan's remnant soul.
"Ancestor?"
Upon seeing the ball of light, Xiao Yan's initial excitement quickly subsided. He frowned, staring intently at the milky-white energy ball before him, feeling utterly astonished.
Xiao Xuan had clearly devoured the Soul Origin of those seven people, yet he still hadn't awakened.
Although Xiao Xuan had the Soul Origin of those seven Dou Di powerhouses as support, he still seemed unable to awaken. That Spiritual Strength was not enough to make up for the injuries Xiao Xuan had suffered.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's heart sank slightly. It seemed that Xiao Xuan's condition was more troublesome than he had imagined.
However, just as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan was about to put it back into his Storage Ring, he clearly saw a thin layer of faint light suddenly appear on the surface of the ball of light.
"Huh?"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed. He was certain that he had not misread the situation, but rather that Xiao Xuan's Soul Origin had indeed sent him some kind of signal.
Filled with surprise and delight, Xiao Yan briefly examined the mass of Soul Origin. Then, with a heavy heart, he extended a finger and touched the mass of Soul Origin in front of him.
"Boom!"
At that very moment, an extremely powerful soul fluctuation swept out from the Soul Origin, like an invisible storm, instantly shattering the soul barrier that Xiao Yan had set up.
A powerful Soul Storm surged out of the pavilion, forcing Yan He, who was constantly watching the commotion from the outside, back several steps. The moment he looked up, his Elder Zhang was filled with shock, and his complexion turned deathly pale.
"Such terrifying Spiritual Strength! Who is this person?!"
Yan He was filled with terror. He had only felt such powerful Spiritual Strength from those few in the Formation Master Association before, but now, another person with such powerful Spiritual Strength had appeared. Who was he?!
Meanwhile, in the dormitory, Xiao Yan was also shocked by the powerful Spiritual Strength emanating from the Soul Origin before him. Such powerful Spiritual Strength was beyond even his own comparison, so why hadn't Xiao Xuan woken up yet?
Despite feeling extremely puzzled, the soul barrier surrounding the attic had now been broken, leaving Xiao Yan completely unprepared. This put considerable pressure on him, so he had no choice but to retract the now-silent Soul Origin in front of him. With a turn of his body, he appeared in front of the door.
Just then, a young man dressed in white robes flew slowly and gracefully from the distant sky.
It was Qin Yun.
"They came so fast!"
Thinking to himself, Xiao Yan quickly put on a smile, cupped his hands in a fist salute to the latter from a distance, and said with a smile:
" Qin Yun, your aura has become even more robust these past few days!"
"Haha, Brother Xiao Yan, you're too kind. I've been coming to see you every day these past few days, but unfortunately, you haven't answered the door each time. I guess you're resting because refining medicine is too hard, so I haven't bothered you any longer."
Qin Yun also clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiao Yan from afar, his face beaming with a warm smile, which immediately inspired goodwill in those who looked at him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he shrugged with a smile, remaining noncommittal.
"I wonder what brings Qin Yun here today?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said.
"Haha, Brother Xiao Yan, the reason I came here today isn't really about anything important. I mainly wanted to have a chat with you, and also to guard against those scum from the Formation Master Association. They're not exactly magnanimous guys. You've broken their rules, and I'm afraid they'll try to harm you. With me here, at least they won't dare to act openly."
"In that case, Qin Yun very much, Brother Qin Yun."
Nodding with gratitude, Xiao Yan felt it was inappropriate to think too much about it since the latter had already said so. He then invited the latter into the pavilion.
In the living room, the two took their seats. Then, Qin Yun looked up at Xiao Yan and said:
"Brother Xiao Yan, I suppose the reason you refined this fourth-tier pill is for this auction, right?"
"Are the forces that have come to this city just here for tea?"
Xiao Yan chuckled teasingly, and the latter, upon hearing this, immediately gave an embarrassed smile, then said:
"So, Brother Xiao Yan should have already obtained the key to enter the auction, right?"
You mean that ring?
"That's right, that's the entrance key issued by the auction house. Only with that ring can one enter the auction house. I'm afraid you wouldn't be staying here if it weren't for that reason."
Qin Yun smiled. This was a pavilion in the auction house specifically used to receive important guests. If you weren't participating in this auction, you would never have the chance to stay here. As of today, there were no more than ten forces that could stay in this pavilion area.
Because, while having an entry ticket is necessary to stay here, strength is even more important. After all, this world respects the strong, and the strength of one's power determines how others treat them.
The fact that Xiao Yan was able to stay here proves that Xiao Yan strength has met the auction house's requirements, a level that even some established forces in the Western Region have not yet achieved.
A strong person can always easily gain the respect and awe of others, and Xiao Yan is exactly like that now.
