The Time Has Come to Awaken the Alchemist Master!

Of course, at this moment, Xiao Chong still appeared as youthful and amiable as ever.

After demonstrating his strength, Xiao Chong stretched lazily, greeted the elder in front of the testing pillar, and then vanished in a flash.

In the VIP seats, Xiao Chong's figure suddenly reappeared.

On the seats, apart from Xiao Zhan and a few other elders of the Xiao family, everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of this celestial figure.

However, Xiao Chong was a step ahead, clasping his fists with a gentle smile.

"Hello, Sister Yafei, you're looking more beautiful than ever."

"Uncle Nalan, your health is as robust as my father's now."

"You must be Nalan Yanran, right? It looks like you're about to break through to the Dou Zhe level. Keep it up!"

Hearing Xiao Chong's greetings, Yafei flashed him a charming smile, which immediately made the other young men around drool.

While greeting, Xiao Chong also reached out to pat Nalan Yanran on the head, naturally sensing her current strength.

"You are my... you are so strong."

Seemingly recalling the relationship between them, Nalan Yanran blushed deeply, too shy to mention it since it was too embarrassing for her.

However, seeing this Nalan Su was particularly delighted.

Looking at the person smiling and greeting him was a figure whose strength was almost legendary, Nalan Su couldn't help but beam with joy, looking several years younger.

The people around, seeing Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran like this couldn't help but feel envious.

After all, they knew that even though the Nalan family was one of the three great families of the Jia Ma Empire, in front of a true Dou Zun powerhouse, they were still considered as reaching high.

Now, thanks to having a good daughter, they had indeed reached high.

And then there was Yafei from the Miter family, clearly using her beauty as a strategy! But seeing Xiao Chong patting Nalan Yanran's head, people from other forces and families couldn't help but ponder.

If the Nalan family could arrange a betrothal, couldn't they do the same?

After all, Xiao Chong hadn't fully grown up yet, right?

Meanwhile, as Xiao Chong greeted the guests in the VIP seats, Xiao Zhan also showed an extremely satisfied smile, looking at him and saying,

"Kid, you're busy greeting these guests, but no greeting for me?"

"Isn't it unnecessary since we see each other every day?"

"You rascal!"

Now he had become the clan leader for decades, with a particularly restrained aura, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but puff up in anger at Xiao Chong's words.

However, Xiao Chong naturally shifted the topic, glancing around the VIP seats before speaking.

"Father, why aren't the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families here? Aren't they planning to attend this year's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Those two families? Heh, ever since that incident twelve years ago, they haven't dared to show their faces in front of our Xiao family again."

"Today's coming-of-age ceremony, they naturally wouldn't dare to show up."

"Oh?"

A hint of murderous intent appeared on Xiao Chong's face, which still looked somewhat calm.

"I remember, when I was very young, they seemed to want to assassinate my mother..."

Even as he spoke these words, Xiao Chong's face maintained a calm smile.

But the endless chill within that smile made the square, even under the scorching summer heat, feel a bit more solemn.

For a moment, the thousands of people in the square closed their mouths, not daring to utter a word, afraid that the sudden coldness would freeze their souls.

"Twelve years have passed, and they think pretending to be dead will make this matter go away?" "From now on, I think the Wutan City no longer needs the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families."

With these words, Xiao Chong had effortlessly sentenced these two families to death.

Many people sighed, realizing that the rising Xiao family was now planning to use two unfortunate families as examples to intimidate others.

However, some quick-witted individuals' eyes lit up.

They had been worried about finding a way to curry favor with Xiao Chong, and now such good news had come their way.

Immediately, someone stood up and said,

"Young Master Xiao Chong is right!"

"These two families have been bullying men and women in Wutan City, acting lawlessly!"

"The markets they manage are filled with cries of resentment!"

"Now, eliminating them is like carrying out justice for heaven!"

"So, there's no need to trouble the Xiao family with this matter; we'll take care of it!"

Hearing the echoing voices around him, Xiao Chong chuckled softly but said nothing.

However, he didn't refuse either.

Seeing Xiao Chong's reaction, Xiao Zhan was suddenly startled.

Had this boy's mind grown to such an extent in twelve years? Although in the face of the current Xiao family, the two families in Wutan City that once had conflicts with the Xiao family had become ants that could be crushed at will, it was like an elephant stepping on ants.

Having these profit-driven guests take action would naturally yield much better results!

It could even pave the way for the Xiao family's rapid rise in the future!

You must know that twelve years ago, Xiao Zhan had long intended to lead the Xiao family in a bold reform and rise, but he endured for twelve years worried because Xiao Chong's mind was still that of an infant.

And he wasn't strong enough!

But now, the time was ripe!...

The coming-of-age ceremony ended after Xiao Chong's stunning display.

After greeting acquaintances from the VIP seats, Xiao Chong slipped away and returned to his clan members.

Behind Xiao Chong, Xiao Mei, still with a smile on her face, approached. Her delicate little face was unexpectedly captivating, and upon seeing Xiao Chong approach, she unceremoniously grabbed his arm and hugged it.

"Brother Xiao Chong, you're so amazing! Can you teach me your skills too?"

"Brother Xiao Chong, Xue'er wants to learn too!"

Seeing Xiao Mei acting so close to Xiao Chong, Xue'er couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy. She walked over and hugged Xiao Chong's other arm.

Xiao Chong, rubbing his temples, said, "Alright, stop fooling around. The guests from the Xiao family haven't all left yet. Besides, I have some matters to attend to."

"Remember to call Xiao Yan over later, to my medicinal field. I have important matters to discuss with him."

"Got it, Brother Xiao Chong," Xiao Mei replied with a smile before turning and leaving.

With her rival gone, Xue'er rubbed against Xiao Chong a few more times before skipping away with light steps.

Once the two girls had left, Xiao Chong placed his hand inside his sleeve, fiddling with something. From beneath his robe, he pulled out a pale gray ring.
