Chapter 221 Xun'er leaves, Qianlan Xinyan

After taking a glance at the ancient monster that had taken the healing elixir, Lin Yuan moved and fell back to the ground.

Afterwards, he put the scroll of Void Travel into his storage ring, handed the Supreme Beginning Pill to Su Qian, and chuckled, "Great Elder, I have fulfilled your mission. This first Supreme Beginning Pill is done. I will refine the second one after I recuperate for a few days."

“No hurry, no hurry!” Su Qian happily said after taking the Zunshi Pill, “Lin boy, just follow your own pace.”

Looking at the mist-filled Zunshi Pill in the bottle, everyone couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity in their eyes. It was a peak seventh-grade pill, the highest-level elixir they had ever seen.

Zi Yan even drooled. This seventh-grade elixir had extremely powerful energy. She looked at Lin Yuan eagerly.

Looking at Zi Yan's eager expression, Lin Yuan smiled gently, tugged at her delicate little face, and said gently: "Little girl, don't be anxious. After refining the Zunshi Pill, I will help you refine the Huaxing Pill. I promise that I will give you the Huaxing Pill within two months!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she said seriously, "We agreed, don't lie to me!"

"Have I ever lied to you, brother?"

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at her and immediately warned her: "During this period of time, you should adjust yourself first. If my guess is correct, taking the Transformation Pill will give you a chance to advance."

Hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly, "Advancing? There is such a good thing, great... I have to store more energy!"

Having said that, she immediately took out a bottle of pills and started eating them voraciously.

"The Transformation Pill, I can finally know Zi Yan's true form!" Looking at the hamster-like Zi Yan, Su Qian felt a little emotional: "That's good, I can know this girl's true form before they go to Zhongzhou, which is also a wish of mine."

When he met Zi Yan that year, she had already transformed. Having raised her for so many years, Su Qian was still quite interested in her true form.

On the other side, Gu Zhen had brought the seriously injured Gu Yao back to the Black Annihilation Army. After taking the healing elixir, Gu Yao's face became much better. However, looking at the expressions of the people who wanted to say something but hesitated, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

At this time, Xun'er landed beside them and said calmly: "You should have brought everything I want, right? Give it to me!"

The ancient demon said nothing. He silently took out three jade boxes from the ring and handed them to Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er took the box, walked towards Lin Yuan, and handed him the three boxes. "Senior Lin Yuan, these are the three things we agreed on before, Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, Earth Soul Essence, and Danling Juice... Please check them."

Lin Yuan did not act pretentiously. He took the three things and checked them carefully, confirming that they were correct.

He put the three items into the Dark Sea Ring, with a smile on his face: "The items are confirmed to be correct, I have received them, and we are now done. It's a pleasure to work with you, and I hope we will have opportunities for further cooperation in the future!"

"I hope so." Gu Xun'er nodded slightly.

Then, she nodded slightly to Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan, and bowed to Su Qian: "Thank you for taking care of me. I have been very happy these years."

"It's just a small matter!" Su Qian waved his hand and said seriously: "You are a student of Canaan College, so this is the norm!"

Xun'er nodded slightly, and finally looked at Xiao Yan. Seeing the doubt in the latter's eyes, she just smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, remember what I said. Before your cultivation reaches Dou Zun, don't rashly contact my clan."

After saying this, she suppressed her reluctance, tapped the ground lightly with her toes, flew into the air, and spread her golden flaming wings.

After taking a quick glance at Canaan College and the crowd, he flew away into the sky without looking back.

"Gu Yao, Lingquan, you lead everyone to follow the young lady and protect her." Gu Zhen looked at Lingquan and Gu Yao and said in a deep voice: "As for me, I still have some things to do. We will meet in Yuque City in three days."

"Yes, Brother Gu Zhen!" Lingquan nodded.

Immediately, he led everyone to quickly board the four-winged unicorn and chased after Gu Xun'er at lightning speed. However, Gu Yao did not leave directly, but looked in the direction of Canaan's people, staring at Lin Yuan deeply.

"Gu Yao? You are seriously injured, don't be impulsive." Gu Zhen said seriously when he saw this.

The ancient demon shook his head and sent a cold but firm voice to Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, I will remember today's defeat in my heart, but sooner or later I will seek revenge on you."

"Come on, I'll wait for that day!" Lin Yuan said with a chuckle.

"Remember, that day, I won't let you wait too long!" said the ancient demon in a deep voice.

Afterwards, he glanced at Xiao Yan indifferently, moved his body, landed on his four-winged unicorn, quickly rose into the air, and then flew across the northern sky like lightning, and soon disappeared at the edge of the sky.

Looking at the direction where Xun'er was going away, Xiao Yan felt a little lonely.

He turned his gaze back and found that Gu Zhen was looking at him with a smile, so he said lightly: "Deputy Commander Gu Zhen specially stayed here, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Xiao Yan had a good impression of Gu Zhen, who had previously helped end the confrontation between Xun'er and Gu Yao at the academy.

"That's exactly what I meant." Gu Zhen nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's about some secrets in the alliance between you and me. If Young Patriarch Xiao doesn't mind, I want to discuss some things or deals with you alone."

Hearing Gu Zhen's words, Su Qian's eyes swept over.

So, Gu Zhen paused and added: "I swear to my ancestors in the name of Gu Zhen that at least this time, I will not do anything bad to you!"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, thinking of Yao Lao and the puppets he carried with him, and nodded to Gu Zhen, "Okay." Then, he bowed to Su Qian and said, "Thank you for your protection, Great Elder. I am very grateful!"

Su Qian knew that Xiao Yan had Yao Lao Soul with him, so he nodded.

"Very good... follow me!" As he said that, Gu Zhen took Xiao Yan and flew away.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Let's go back too!"

Lin Yuan's hand passed through Little Medical Fairy's snow-white hair, one hand wrapped around her slender waist, and the other hand held Zi Yan's hand: "I got some new insights into cooking when I was refining the elixir. When I get back, I'll make you a delicious meal."

When she felt the strange hand on her waist, the little doctor's ears suddenly turned red.

She gave Lin Yuan a coquettish look, but did not struggle. Instead, she leaned gently against Lin Yuan and gave part of her body weight to him.

Just for a moment, she really thought she had lost Lin Yuan.

As if sensing the complicated mood of the Little Medical Fairy, Lin Yuan smiled at her gently and comforted her a little.

Then, he looked at Su Qian and invited him casually: "Great Elder, you might as well come to my place and taste my cooking skills. I'm not bragging, but I have quite a bit of experience in cooking."

"Haha!" Looking at the harmonious trio, Su Qian waved his hand cheerfully, "Forget about it today. There are still a lot of things to deal with in the hospital."

Chatting and laughing, the few of them walked leisurely towards Canaan College.
-
On a peak in the back mountain, a conversation was taking place.

Gu Zhen looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask Young Clan Leader Xiao, what is the current situation of the keys kept by the Xiao Clan? Are they lost or in our hands? This matter is of great importance, so please answer truthfully." At the same time, he carefully observed Xiao Yan's expression.

This boy is currently the strongest person in the Xiao family. If the ancient jade is still there, he is the person most likely to know the relevant information.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Key? What are you talking about?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's puzzled eyes, Gu Zhen did not relax, but continued to test: "What is Miss Xun'er's identity? Why did she go to the Xiao family? You really don't know? You really don't know about the ancient jade?"

Gu Zhen suddenly brought up something that Xiao Yan didn't want to think about and Xun'er didn't want to mention, and Xiao Yan's emotions suddenly fluctuated.

"Hmm?" He frowned, his face uncertain, and said in a deep voice: "Ancient jade, what ancient jade? What does this have to do with Xun'er coming to live in my Xiao family? Gu Zhen, don't beat around the bush, just speak clearly."

Gu Zhen, who had been watching Xiao Yan's expression carefully, saw the other party's expression which was a mixture of anger and confusion, and the doubts in his heart disappeared a little.

"Ancient jade, of course I'm talking about Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, something that looks like this." Gu Zhen handed a scroll to Xiao Yan and said calmly: "It can make the young lady condescend to come to the Xiao family in person, so it must be something of this value."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suppressed the irritation in his heart, took the scroll and opened it.

On the scroll, there was a lifelike painting of an emerald green jade piece with a spot of light in the center of the jade piece. It looked quite spiritual, but... a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes. He had indeed never seen this thing before.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"From this reaction, it seems that he really didn't know. It makes sense. According to the intelligence, Xiao Yan only had the cultivation level of a fighter when he went out for training. It is unlikely that the Xiao clan leader would give the ancient jade to him. When he returned, the Xiao family's top leaders had already been arrested."

"It seems that there is probably no hope of getting the key to the Xiao family this time."

A trace of distress flashed across Gu Zhen's eyes, and he said to himself, "If the key is really lost, I hope it was lost when the Xiao family migrated, and not in the hands of the Soul Clan."

"Young Patriarch Xiao," holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Gu Zhen said solemnly, "If you can find this ancient jade, I hope you can give it to our clan."

"The ancient jade is of great importance. With the current strength of the Xiao family, holding it will not only bring no benefit, but will also bring disaster. But if you hand it over to our clan, we will definitely give the Xiao family a reward beyond imagination."

Xiao Yan suppressed his complicated emotions and said calmly: "Thank you for the reminder, but as for the Xiao family's ancient jade, my family will make our own decision."

Looking at Xiao Yan's stern expression, Gu Zhen nodded. He probably understood this boy's temperament.

"In that case, I only have one last thing left."

"The head of my clan guessed that the young lady might have some feelings for you, so he asked me to pass on a message to you. These are his original words..."

"Xiao family boy, forget about the young lady. It's best to treat the things that happened in the past as if they never happened. The young lady has an extremely important position in our clan. The person who matches her can only be a truly powerful person on the continent. You... are not worthy of her."

"Really?" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said: "But, I refuse. Moreover, I must become a truly powerful person..."

After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation, heading towards the inner courtyard.

"Another stubborn guy." Looking at his departing back, Gu Zhen shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. It looks like he doesn't have the thing. To be on the safe side, let's go to the current Xiao family and take a look..."

"The elders in the tribe really like to order me around. I really envy that guy Gu Yao, who can focus on cultivation without having to worry about these trivial matters."

As he spoke, he looked towards a shadow with interest and chuckled, "Is that so? Elder Ling..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow surged and Ling Ying appeared in front of Gu Zhen.

He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I am the Earth-rank Guard Ling Ying, greetings to Master Gu Zhen!"

"Don't worry, I don't intend to target Xiao Yan." Gu Zhen waved his hand casually and said lightly: "I stayed here for a few days to complete the tasks assigned by the elders. The changes in the Xiao family require me to do the final information sorting."

"Next, Lao, gather our people here. I want to ask them some questions."

"Yes, I will do it immediately!"

"No hurry, please introduce Lin Yuan to me first. He is a man who can defeat the ancient monster and is quite a figure..."
-
Inner courtyard, medicine garden.

Lin Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room with his upper body naked. On his chest was a dark black demonic poison spot. Around the poison spot was a circle of faint ice-blue light, and a scorching heat emanated from it.

Wisps of black gas emanated from the demonic poison spot and were then absorbed into the ice-blue light circle.

Under the refining of the new type of strange fire, or perhaps it should be called its new name - Qianlan Heart Flame, the black gas that was absorbed into the ice-blue halo was quickly refined and transformed into extremely pure fighting spirit.

These pure fighting spirits, along with the operation of the Tiandu Fire Classic's skills, were quickly absorbed by Lin Yuan's limbs and bones.

As time went by, Lin Yuan's aura also steadily improved.

On the chair in the room, the Little Medical Fairy held a volume of the Poison Sutra in her jade hands, occasionally turning the pages gently with her fingertips, and occasionally looking at Lin Yuan gently with her eyes.

At a certain moment, Lin Yuan released his hand seals for cultivation and opened his tightly closed eyes. A ray of brilliance flowed through his deep eyes. After several hours of refining, he did not feel the slightest bit tired. On the contrary, the huge replenishment of fighting spirit put him in a perfect peak state.

At the same time, Lin Yuan's aura and cultivation had also improved significantly compared to before.

"Two-star Dou Zong late stage? Very good." Feeling the huge power surging in his body, Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

"Okay?" A gentle chuckle sounded.

Lin Yuan raised his head, and the Little Medical Fairy, who was dressed in a white dress and looked particularly fresh and attractive at the moment, came into his sight. She stood in front of Lin Yuan, carefully observing the magic poison spot on his chest, and when she found that it had shrunk a little, there was a little more joy in her eyes.

"Well, it's done!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly and chuckled, "There's no need to rush to refine this thing, just take your time!"

Spending a long time refining elixirs is an excellent way to temper your fighting spirit.

After completing the refining of the Zunshi Pill and the battle against the ancient monster, Lin Yuan also completed the tempering of his own fighting spirit, so he began to continue refining the magic poison spots to improve his cultivation.

After this refining, his cultivation level was directly improved from less than mid-two-star level to late two-star level.

"This demon poison spot is really a good thing. If I were to absorb external energy to practice normally, it would probably take at least two months to reach the current level! As expected, in this world, there is no future for serious practice."

Looking down at the poisonous spot on his chest, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Then he shook his head, put away his messy thoughts, quickly stood up, put on his clothes, and looked at the Little Medical Fairy.

"Little Doctor Fairy, I have something for you."
