"Ice Old Man, you sensed it too?" Jia Xing Tian's voice came from behind Hai Bo Dong. With a flash, Jia Xing Tian flew to Hai Bo Dong's side, and together they flew towards the Holy City gate.
"Yes, a Sixth Order Magical Beast, and its aura is very strong, I'm afraid it's even stronger than your guardian beast, and there's also a Dou Huang expert." Hai Bo Dong nodded solemnly. Such strength was enough to plunge the Holy City into a disaster.
Jia Xing Tian nodded with a grave expression. Although they could deal with a Sixth Order Magical Beast and a Dou Huang, what they feared was not the power on the surface, but the forces behind the Magical Beast.
It was like back in Mo City, when Lü Man and Bai Ya, two Dou Huangs, appeared and took Qing Lin away. Behind them was the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, one of the overlord forces in the Northwest Region. Even if they invaded the territory at will, there was no way to pursue them.
And now, the Sect Tournament of the Northwest Region was about to begin. So many empires and sects from the entire Northwest Region would participate. The Chuyun Empire and the Luoyan Empire had once tried to persuade the Gama Empire to join forces with them to participate in the Sect Tournament, in order to prevent being annexed by those powerful sects in the center of the Northwest Region.
However, in the end, Jia Xing Tian and other members of the royal family refused. After all, these two empires had been at war with the Gama Empire for many years, and their overall strength was stronger than that of the Gama Empire. Therefore, they knew very well that they could not gain an advantage in the alliance, and might even be annexed and divided.
The aura of the Magical Beast was getting closer and closer, and its speed gradually slowed down. After waiting for a while, a purple light spot flickered in the sky. As the Purple Light slowly grew larger, the first thing that came into view was the huge body of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King.
The scales covered in purple crystal on its body shimmered with beautiful light under the sunlight. The pair of purple wings that covered the sky and the sun gently fluttered, and it could fly with a sonic boom, as beautiful as a meteor streaking across the sky.
"Hmm?"
"That is..."
Gradually, Hai Bo Dong and Jia Xing Tian saw that there were several figures sitting on the back of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King. When they saw the figure in the lead wearing a mysterious black robe, both of them showed surprised and excited expressions.
After a moment of stunned silence, the two of them suddenly widened their eyes, and their old bodies trembled violently with excitement. Even their voices carried a tremor.
"Holy crap! This kid is back?!" Jia Xing Tian was naturally excited, his guardian beast was still waiting for Xiao Yan to save its life.
"Good lad, this time he's coming back sitting on a Sixth Order Magical Beast, so high-profile." Hai Bo Dong revealed a gratified smile, stroked his beard, and said.
Xiao Yan didn't pretend anymore, put the Soul Robe into the Storage Ring, and took out the long-lost Alchemist Robe and put it on. When Xiao Yan put on the snow-white Alchemist Robe, he slowly stood on the back of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King. The wind blew past his robe, and his hands were behind his back, and he really looked like something.
When Xiao Yan no longer used the Soul Robe to shield his aura, a powerful aura that surpassed all Dou Wangs suddenly appeared, and even faintly made the temperature of Gama Holy City a few degrees higher.
When Xiao Yan released the aura in his body to announce his return, it was naturally not only Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bo Dong who discovered it. At the same time, in several places within the empire, those masters with not weak forces all looked in astonishment at the direction from which the high temperature came.
The terrifying temperature mixed in the terrifying and majestic Dou Qi made their faces change drastically. This kind of strength, even the old monster Jia Xing Tian seemed to be inferior to. When did such a strong person appear in this Gama Empire? Of course, some people guessed who had arrived.
People like Nalan Jie in the Nalan Mansion and Mittel Tengshan, who were somewhat familiar with Xiao Yan, also guessed that Xiao Yan had returned.
"This kid, he's back, he's acting like he's afraid others won't know he's back." Nalan Jie stroked his beard, looked in the direction of Xiao Yan, and smiled.
Ya Fei, whose strength was only Dou Shi, seemed to sense something. Although her strength could not detect it, she suddenly had some premonitions in her heart.
"He's back..." Ya Fei felt inexplicably nervous in her heart. The business queen who controlled the real power of the Mittel Family would actually reveal such a little woman's posture, which would probably shock those who knew Ya Fei.
"Yo, Hai Lao, long time no see, your strength has improved, you're radiant, and you've rejuvenated." A pair of Dou Qi Wings grew out of Xiao Yan's back, and he slowly flew to Hai Bo Dong's front, with a happy smile from the bottom of his heart on his face.
"You brat, you're even playing with me, aren't you?" Although Hai Bo Dong scolded on his face, he was also very happy to see Xiao Yan's return.
Xiao Yan turned around, raised his hand to Jia Xing Tian, and said relatively politely: "Old Jia, long time no see."
Xiao Yan didn't waste any time, took out a pill bottle from the Storage Ring, and the Primal Bone Forming Pill that exuded a strange medicinal fragrance appeared in front of Jia Xing Tian.
Seeing the Primal Bone Forming Pill, Jia Xing Tian swallowed his saliva. A Sixth Grade pill was a pill that only Dou Huangs were qualified to use. In the Gama Empire, apart from Gu He, who had been living in seclusion, only Fa Ma, who had gained some insights after seeing Xiao Yan's Pill Refining a year ago, and broke through to Sixth Grade, could refine it.
If Xiao Yan had returned a year or two later, Jia Xing Tian might have had to consider asking Fa Ma for a pill.
"Good, you still remember, it's good that you still remember." In just two years, Xiao Yan had actually gone from a Rank 5 Alchemist to Sixth Grade. This speed made Jia Xing Tian couldn't help but have some small ideas in his heart, thinking about marrying Yao Ye over to tie Xiao Yan down, like Hai Bo Dong did.
But immediately, Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bo Dong both noticed Little Fairy Doctor, who was sitting quietly on the back of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, holding a book about planting medicine in her hands, and reading quietly, and dispelled this idea.
This guy really had a life with peach blossoms. How did he abduct another girl when he came back, and also an eleven or twelve-year-old loli? Could it be Xiao Yan's seed?!
He had it so early?! Tsk tsk tsk, bah, scumbag.
"Of course I remember." Xiao Yan certainly didn't know that these two had thought so much in an instant, nodded, and said with a smile: "However, the medicinal power of this kind of pill is too overbearing, so only Magical Beast physiques can take it, and it also requires the special urging of the Alchemist to maximize the medicinal power."
Hearing that this pill actually needed a special technique to activate it, Jia Xing Tian was also shocked, and then looked at Xiao Yan, and said: "Since this is the case, then I'm afraid I have to trouble Xiao Yan again."
"It should be, after all, it's the pill I refined." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Yan did not immediately go back to Yunlan Sect to see his family, but chose to stay in Gama Holy City first, and temporarily live in the Mittel Family's manor.
Although the Xiao Clan now had some industries in Gama Holy City, Xiao Yan still chose to stay in the Mittel Family temporarily, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Sister Ya Fei, long time no see." When he saw Ya Fei, Xiao Yan's tone couldn't help but become a little gentle.
Seeing Xiao Yan descending from the sky, her beautiful eyes were a little brighter. Even with Ya Fei's temperament, it was a little difficult to suppress the feelings in her heart, and she said coquettishly: "You still know to come back."
Her tone carried a hint of imperceptible resentment.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and said, "The Gama Empire is, after all, the place where I was born and raised, and my Xiao Clan has also settled in the Yunlan Sect, so naturally I have to come back."
Ya Fei's beautiful eyes gazed at Xiao Yan's face. She slowly walked up to him and, noticing that his robes were slightly disheveled, reached out her jade-like, snow-white hand to gently smooth them. She said softly, "Your return this time will probably cause a sensation throughout the Holy City. You're not just a Pill Refining genius now, but also the founder of the Flame Alliance."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression became unnatural. Social events were not his forte.
Seeing Xiao Yan's troubled look, Ya Fei chuckled and said, "A banquet will be held for you tonight. Don't even think about escaping."
Xiao Yan sighed and feigned a roll of his eyes, but he didn't refuse and nodded. When he took over the position of Young Clan Leader from his father, he knew that social interactions were unavoidable.
The Little Fairy Doctor, who preferred peace and quiet, naturally wouldn't follow Xiao Yan. She stayed in the manor with the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, letting Xiao Yan go off on his own.
Zi Yan was the opposite of the Little Fairy Doctor. She had finally escaped from the prison that was Canaan Academy, so naturally she wanted to follow Xiao Yan everywhere.
When news of Xiao Yan's return and the banquet at the Mittel Family spread, the entire Gama Holy City was shaken. All the families, big and small, frantically pulled strings, just to get a chance to meet Xiao Yan at the banquet.
And the old-guard forces like the Nalan Family, the Mu Family, and the Alchemist Guild naturally attended.
When Fa Ma learned that Xiao Yan had already refined the Primal Bone Forming Pill, his eyes flickered with a strange light.
Although the Primal Bone Forming Pill was only a low-level Sixth Grade pill, its refining difficulty was not low. He himself had only reached Sixth Grade for a year, and his success rate in refining the Primal Bone Forming Pill was less than 30%.
"Xiao Yan, what grade is your Pill Refining skill now?" Fa Ma looked at Xiao Yan with suspicion. Although a low-level Sixth Grade Alchemist could refine the Primal Bone Forming Pill, and Xiao Yan had a Strange Flame, his success rate was not low.
Fa Ma didn't quite believe that Xiao Yan was only a low-level Sixth Grade Alchemist. Although going from Fifth Grade to Sixth Grade in two years was unbelievable, this young man seemed to do unbelievable things often, so the unbelievable was his daily routine.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Guess, Guild Leader Fa Ma."
Fa Ma helplessly glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "I won't guess. If you don't tell me your true level, how can I update your Alchemist Robe?"
"No need to update it, it's too much trouble to keep changing it," Xiao Yan waved his hand and refused.
"Changing it?????"
Before Fa Ma could recover, Nalan Jie's voice came, "Xiao Yan."
"Old Master Nalan, long time no see, I hope you are in good health."
From then on, Xiao Yan began his 'long time no see' journey.
"Head of the Mu Family, long time no see."
"Little Princess, you've grown taller. Want to compete in Pill Refining? Forget it, I don't bully girls."
"Princess Yao Ye, no, no, we should call you Queen Yao Ye now."
"Mu Zhan? You want to come again? If you want to fight, find that little loli eating chicken legs. Yes, her. If you can withstand one punch from her, I'll compete with you."
"What? Your daughter is poisoned and wants me to help take a look? You should go to a doctor or the Alchemist Guild!"
"Your son is an Alchemist and wants to become my disciple? I have no plans to accept disciples for the time being."
"Your daughter is of marriageable age? What does that have to do with me!"
After a whole night, Xiao Yan's lips were worn out. It turned out that being a public figure, surrounded by a group of people chattering, was really hard to bear! This night was even harder than Xiao Yan cultivating the Mountain Splitting Seal!
After the banquet, Xiao Yan took Zi Yan and followed Queen Yao Ye to the Imperial Palace to heal the Nethersea Flood Dragon.
After about half an hour's journey, the carriage smoothly passed through the heavily guarded Imperial City. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan didn't linger and followed Yao Ye quickly into the vast Back Mountain within the Imperial City. Finally, they stopped outside a huge lake on the top of the mountain.
"Eh, there's a big snake in this lake, and its strength is not bad, about the same as the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King." Zi Yan, who was beside Xiao Yan, looked at the huge lake in the center and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Jia Xing Tian and Yao Ye were both shocked. Then, they looked at the pink and jade-like little girl with surprise. It was already quite difficult to sense the hidden aura through such a deep lake, but they didn't expect that this extremely cute little girl could tell the shape of the hidden creature inside. How could this not surprise them?
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was not surprised by Zi Yan's performance. The latter's true form was also a Magical Beast, and its bloodline was probably of the Dragon Race. The reason why the Nethersea Flood Dragon was so powerful was because it itself contained the Dragon Race bloodline.
Therefore, it was not too surprising that Zi Yan could sense the Magical Beast hidden in the lake.
"Ice Old Man, summon the Nethersea Flood Dragon."
Hearing this, Jia Xing Tian quickly nodded. His figure flashed and he appeared above the lake. His feet landed on the water, and then his hands penetrated into the water, and majestic Dou Qi surged in.
As the Dou Qi surged in, the calm lake surface suddenly seemed to boil, and countless bubbles rose.
Its size was even a few times larger than the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King.
When the Nethersea Flood Dragon's huge eyes saw Xiao Yan's figure, its majestic expression suddenly became ingratiating.
"Master Xiao Yan! Hehehe, you've finally come. I've been waiting for so long." The Nethersea Flood Dragon grinned and slowly lowered its head to approach Xiao Yan. It had been waiting for Xiao Yan until the flowers had withered.
"Why are you being so fawning, you're really losing face for the Dragon Race." Seeing the Nethersea Flood Dragon's ingratiating appearance, Zi Yan immediately mocked.
"Little girl, are you courting death? You, a mere Dou Wang, dare to laugh at me!" Although the Nethersea Flood Dragon was fawning over Xiao Yan, it was inherently a ferocious Magical Beast. Naturally, it had no fear of a little thing like Zi Yan, and immediately roared.
"Ah?! Are you asking for a beating?" Her ears buzzing from the deafening roar, Little Zi Yan put her slender hands on her small waist and angrily rebuked. As her rebuke fell, a few rays of Purple Light immediately swirled around her jewel-like eyes.
With a thud, the moment the Purple Light appeared, the Nethersea Flood Dragon's spine went limp, and it instantly collapsed to the ground, as if kneeling in worship.
