Cao Youqian: That Kid Long Yan Could Still Bring Me a Little Surprise

Bang!

A headless corpse fell to the ground, its body scattered in pieces, and blood quickly stained the entire arena red.

The crowd stared at the lifeless, headless corpse, their gazes towards Cao Youqian filled with awe.

Is this the power of the geniuses of the Daoist Dao-Seeking Academy?

Cao Youqian stepped forward and, after confirming that Long Yan was gone, picked up his storage ring.

In that instant, Ye Beixuan, standing below the arena, saw a beam of luck fly out from Long Yan's corpse and land on Cao Youqian.

Senior Brother Cao actually suppressed a Child of Fortune!

Cao Youqian was completely unaware. He took the storage ring, jumped off the stage, and walked up to Song Zhaoyi.

Song Zhaoyi picked up the teacup in front of her and said with a smile, "Brother Qian, the tea is ready."

Cao Youqian took the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Good tea, good tea."

The surrounding audience only then came to their senses and began to cheer.

"Senior Brother Cao is awesome!"

"Senior Brother Cao is invincible!"

"..."

Even the elders in the stands cast envious glances at the Song Clan elders.

"Brother Song, your Song Clan has gained a dragon son-in-law!"

Elder Song laughed and said, "It's not even close to being a done deal yet, hahaha..."

Elders: You old codger, you're laughing like that, and it's still not even close to happening. I'm afraid your Song Clan would love to have these two married tonight.

Why can't the women in our family find such a powerful and talented individual?

After finishing his tea, Cao Youqian picked up his Sword Jade and left with Song Zhaoyi under the watchful eyes of many.

Before long, Song Zhaoyi arranged for Cao Youqian and Ye Beixuan to stay in a separate courtyard.

Cao Youqian said to Ye Beixuan, who was standing to the side, "Junior brother, Cloud Mist Sect is relatively safe. You can refine your spiritual herbs here."

Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. But aren't you curious about what kind of treasure I obtained?"

Cao Youqian shrugged. "Whatever treasure you obtain is your own fate. Even my master doesn't ask me what kind of treasure I got, so why should I care?"

Ye Beixuan: "..."

Seeing his junior brother remain silent, Cao Youqian smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

"Take care, senior brother."

Ye Beixuan watched Cao Youqian's departing figure, a warmth spread through his heart. Although he had also grown stronger in the Dao-Seeking Academy in his previous life, he had never experienced the brotherhood he felt in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute before he made a name for himself.

I will cherish this friendship for the rest of my life!

Thinking of this, Ye Beixuan closed the door, took the Mystic Yellow Fruit from his storage ring, swallowed it, and then sat cross-legged to begin refining its medicinal power.

Time passed second by second, and Ye Beixuan gradually refined the medicinal power, and a Mystic Yellow Qi also emerged in his body.

While he was in seclusion, Cao Youqian and Song Zhaoyi opened Long Yan's storage ring and began to take stock of the valuable items inside.

Before long, Cao Youqian's attention was drawn to a jade slip, and he focused his divine sense into it.

The jade slip contained a map marked with a red dot bearing the three large characters "Gathering Thunder Valley".

The jade slip also contains records about Gathering Thunder Valley.

Thunderstorms Gathering Thunder Valley. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month each year, a heavenly thunderstorm descends upon the Gathering Thunder Valley, and after the thunder subsides, the legendary Thunder Spirit Fruit is born.

Seeing this, Cao Youqian's lips curled up slightly. "I didn't expect that Long Yan could bring me such a small surprise."

Hearing this, Song Zhaoyi asked curiously, "Brother Qian, what good stuff did you find in Long Yan's storage ring?"

Cao Youqian didn't hide anything, saying, "A map, a map leading to Gathering Thunder Valley."

Upon hearing the words "Gathering Thunder Valley," Song Zhaoyi murmured, "I've heard that Gathering Thunder Valley is a secret realm. Entering it will probably require something else."

Cao Youqian laughed and said, "Why don't we keep looking and find out?"

After saying this, he continued to rummage among the storage rings, and soon he found a token with the word "Thunder" written on it.

"Found it."

Song Zhaoyi's eyes lit up. "Brother Qian is amazing! When are we going to Gathering Thunder Valley?"

Cao Youqian, "You really want to leave the Cloud Mist Sect?"

Song Zhaoyi glanced around and nodded. "It's so boring in the sect. Every day, Father and the elders urge me to cultivate. It's much more fun to go out and play, especially when I go out with Brother Qian."

"Alright, then we'll set off in seven days."

No sooner had Cao Youqian finished speaking than footsteps sounded from not far away.

Song Zhaoyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw her maid Xiaohuan Huan, rushing towards them. She asked, "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

Xiaohuan said respectfully, "Miss, Master said he wants to host a banquet for the two young masters tonight and would like you to take them there."

Song Zhaoyi did not agree, but instead focused her gaze on Cao Youqian.

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Go and tell your master that I will definitely attend the banquet tonight."

"Yes."

After Xiaohuan responded, she turned and left, secretly thinking to herself: Is this Young Master Cao really as arrogant as the rumors say?

After nightfall, Cao Youqian accompanied Song Zhaoyi to the Song Clan's dinner party.

All those who came were elders of the Song Clan. At first, Song Zhaoyi was a little worried that her father and the others would make things difficult for her Brother Qian, or that her Brother Qian was not good at handling this kind of situation.

But Song Zhaoyi soon realized she was wrong. Her Brother Qian was completely at ease in this situation, making her grandfather and father extremely satisfied.

The banquet was a pleasant affair, and everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the two of them until midnight when the banquet finally ended.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

Inside the room, Ye Beixuan slowly opened his eyes. He felt the Mystic Yellow Qi within his body, and a bright smile appeared on his lips.

"With this Mystic Yellow Qi, I can refine the Primordial Qi much faster, and then I will have the foundation to awaken my Divine Physique!"

After saying that, he straightened his clothes, then pushed open the door and went out. As soon as he stepped out, he saw his second senior brother and Senior Sister Song chatting in the courtyard.

Hearing footsteps, Cao Youqian subconsciously turned his head and saw Ye Beixuan walking out, looking radiant.

"Junior Brother Ye, it seems you've had quite a haul this time."

"I've made some progress, but it's nothing compared to what my senior brother has achieved," Ye Beixuan said modestly.

"Junior brother, now that you've emerged from seclusion, it's time for us to bid farewell to the Cloud Mist Sect," Cao Youqian said with a smile.

Ye Beixuan nodded slightly. "Alright, I wonder where Senior Brother Cao and Senior Sister Song are going?"

Cao Youqian, "We plan to head west. What about you, Junior Brother Ye?"

Ye Beixuan pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to head northeast."

"So we're not going the same way anymore. Take care on your journey, Junior Brother Ye." Cao Youqian smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Beixuan nodded. "Senior Brother and Senior Sister Song, please take good care of yourselves as well."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two bid farewell to the sect leader and elders of the Cloud Mist Sect.

After leaving the Cloud Mist Sect Ye Beixuan, Ye Beixuan disguised himself and headed northeast. Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus, here I come...
