Little Fairy Doctor suddenly noticed that Xiao Yan was wearing the disciple's attire of Yu Xian Sect, and her expression became even stranger.
"Uh, anyway, this is a misunderstanding." Xiao Yan touched his nose and laughed awkwardly. Being held in Little Fairy Doctor's arms, he felt his hands had nowhere to rest.
"Then why did he injure you so badly?"
"Uh, I was reckless and blew up the mountain gate, so it's only right that I got taught a lesson."
"You should respect your master and follow his arrangements..." Little Fairy Doctor said softly.
Xiao Yan's gaze drifted, not daring to meet her eyes.
...
"Ape Lord, why did you come to the Central Plains? And why did you turn into this appearance?"
In a lush garden, Xiao Yan and others sat around a stone table under a pavilion.
The Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect, who was the transformed Ape Lord, responded in a calm tone:
"Do you still remember your classmate Zhou Mingrui? He obtained a stone block from Jia Nan Academy's scripture library that sealed a drop of ancient stone ape essence blood."
"He exchanged that drop of essence blood for many medicinal ingredients from me. Relying on that drop of essence blood, my bloodline underwent some changes, and my cultivation improved further. I broke through to the seventh rank and successfully transformed."
"As for why I came to the Central Plains, the fish at Jia Nan Academy were not easy to catch, so I changed locations."
Xiao Yan suddenly understood; no wonder Zhou Mingrui had so many medicinal ingredients to exchange for fire energy points.
He couldn't help but retort, "If the fish aren't easy to catch, is it possible it's not the fish's fault? You don't even need to bring a fish basket when you fish."
Ape Lord stiffened his neck and said, "These rivers, lakes, and seas are all my fish baskets!"
Looking at the stubborn Ape Lord, Xiao Yan smiled.
Mu Azure Kira was a little confused by this change, her gaze constantly shifting between Ape Lord and Xiao Yan. How did Xiao Yan inexplicably become the Young Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect?
Ape Lord suddenly narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Little Fairy Doctor, and said with a look of relief:
"But what I didn't expect was that you, kid, actually matured and started actively looking for women, hahaha, when are you planning to have a child? Many children, many blessings, many children, many blessings!"
Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head slightly, her face a little red.
As soon as Xiao Yan heard the phrase "many children, many blessings," his forehead couldn't help but twitch, and he only felt a headache.
He said awkwardly, "Little Fairy Doctor and I are just ordinary friends."
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's gaze dimmed slightly, and she looked at Mu Azure Kira with some resentment, as if to say: Why did you save me?
Had she known that the Young Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect was Xiao Yan, she wouldn't have run away!
Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the conversation between the two disciples he had overheard when he snuck in earlier and told Ape Lord about it, reminding him:
"Ape Lord, it's best not to do these things. In our human concept, only those with ill intentions would do such things."
Ape Lord showed a hint of confusion: "Besides helping you find a wife, I haven't done anything like forcibly abducting civilian girls. The one next to you, I also picked her up by the river."
At this moment, Senior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Fang came to report: "Sect Master, the losses have been tallied. The losses are all buildings, not significant, and because there were fewer disciples left in the sect, there were no casualties."
"It's them!" Xiao Yan said, pointing at the two of them.
After some questioning and understanding what Xiao Yan was referring to, Senior Brother Chen said with a strange tone, "We were talking about fishing."
Fishing? Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then what's with 'big and white' and 'using force'?"
"'Big and white' is describing fish. The river in front of the mountain gate is rich in white fish, which are delicious and have an excellent texture. 'Using force' refers to using other methods to forcibly catch fish when you can't hook them."
As he spoke, Senior Brother Chen didn't forget to take out a dead white fish from his space ring, pointing at it and saying, "See, isn't this big and white?"
Xiao Yan looked at the palm-sized, pure white, spindle-shaped fish, his mouth twitching slightly, and said uncertainly:
"This...big? As expected of a true disciple!"
Indeed, he inherited the true teachings of Ape Lord...
Wait, could Little Fairy Doctor have been caught by Ape Lord while fishing? He always catches strange things... Xiao Yan's thoughts wandered a bit.
"The original Yu Xian Sect ceased to exist a few months ago... After the previous Sect Master was killed by Ape Lord, Yu Xian Sect was renamed Fish Fresh Sect, and those skilled in fishing within the sect were honored." Junior Brother Fang interjected.
Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the disciple from Starcloud Pavilion who inquired about news saying that Yu Xian Sect had become a bit strange recently... Was this the kind of strangeness?
"Oh, right, Xiao Yan, I caught a top-grade one before, could you help me prepare it? I haven't had your cooking in a long time, and I really miss it." Ape Lord suddenly said.
Xiao Yan was somewhat amused and exasperated: So, the Sect Master bringing the 'top-grade' one for the Young Sect Master to handle meant this... Indeed, Ape Lord used to forcibly bring me fish and ask me to prepare them.
"Alright."
They arrived at Fish Fresh Pavilion, which was the building where Little Fairy Doctor was previously held, and walked into a room... This room was originally a large bathroom, which Ape Lord used to raise fish.
When Xiao Yan saw the ten-foot-long, large white fish with some injuries on its body, the first thought that came to his mind was: Ape Lord used force, this is not something he could have caught!
Xiao Yan used this white fish, which he had mistakenly thought was Little Fairy Doctor earlier, to make a roasted fish meal, and the group enjoyed a delicious meal.
After retrieving Little Fairy Doctor, they did not stay long in the Northern Region of the Central Plains. They immediately bid farewell to Ape Lord and rushed to the Southern Region of the Central Plains, as the threat from Fenglei Pavilion had not yet disappeared.
...
On Thunder Mountain, within the East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion, Feng Qing'er looked at Thunder Venerable and asked with a hint of doubt, "Teacher, do you still want to avenge West Pavilion Lord or not?"
She could clearly feel that Fenglei Pavilion's efforts to search for Xiao Yan's whereabouts were all talk and no action, merely perfunctory.
"Qing'er, don't worry about this matter. It's of great importance. I heard that you and West Pavilion Lord were the ones who attacked him first?" Thunder Venerable asked.
"But that's also because I sensed something from my clan on him, and he also used 'Three Thousand Lightning Movement' in combat. This is an undeniable fact." Feng Qing'er argued.
"I cannot attack him. If you are confident, it's fine for you to kill him, but if I make a move, it might cause a major war between Fenglei Pavilion and Starcloud Pavilion." Thunder Venerable sighed, not revealing the real reason.
A Half-Saint was still roaming around Fenglei Pavilion, watching over him! Although Xiao Qing was easy to coax, she was exceptionally stubborn about certain things. Thunder Venerable once unintentionally stepped out of the Thunder Mountain's range and almost got slapped again.
"Starcloud Pavilion, would our Fenglei Pavilion be afraid of Starcloud Pavilion?" Feng Qing'er was not very convinced.
"In short, you juniors can fight and squabble however you want, but if I make a move, then it will be a full-blown war between the two pavilions... There's one thing you might not know, Venerable Yao is back!" Thunder Venerable said in an irrefutable tone.
Unable to get a satisfactory answer, Feng Qing'er left with a hint of resentment.
She did not notify her clansmen, firstly because her sensing at the time was very vague and uncertain. If she reported it casually and it turned out she was wrong, her impression in the elders' eyes would definitely decline significantly.
Secondly, if Fenglei Pavilion made a move and there truly was something like Heavenly Demon Phoenix essence blood, it would definitely benefit her in the end. However, if she reported it, even if there was a gain, what she could obtain would be very limited.
Feng Qing'er walked out of Fenglei Pavilion and saw a small girl with two pigtails, sucking on a lollipop, riding on a Amethyst Winged Lion King, staring blankly at her, with a long stream of snot hanging from her nose.
Xiao Qing bit down on the lollipop, swallowed it with a "gulp," and suddenly yelled:
"There's a big bird! There's a big bird here, come and see!"
Feng Qing'er's forehead twitched: "Where did this little brat come from?"
...
By the time Xiao Yan and the others returned to Starcloud Pavilion, Venerable Feng had also just returned from Dan Region.
Venerable Feng made no attempt to hide the joy on his face. Seeing him like this, Xiao Yan also smiled: "It seems things went smoothly."
Yao Chen's soul body floated over, much more solid than before. He asked, "How is it? How many sets of medicinal ingredients have you collected?"
Venerable Feng took out a jade box: "Look what this is?"
After opening it, a rich pill fragrance wafted out, making people feel refreshed just by smelling it, as if their soul and body had become more closely integrated.
"Muscle Regeneration and Bone Fusing Pill!" Yao Chen recognized the pill at a glance, "And it's an eighth-grade Muscle Regeneration and Bone Fusing Pill? Where did you get it?"
Yao Chen was very confused. With Venerable Feng's strength, it wasn't difficult to get some seventh-grade medicinal ingredients. If he asked someone to refine a seventh-grade pill, he would have to pay a small price, but for an eighth-grade pill, he would have to spend most of his fortune.
"Hehe, someone gave it to me... As soon as Xuan Yi heard it was for your revival, she gave me this." Feng Xian winked at Yao Chen.
"Xuan Yi... sigh..." Yao Chen's expression became a little dazed, he sighed, somewhat hesitant whether to accept it.
Xiao Yan pricked up his ears... There's a story! He leaned closer: "Teacher, what's your relationship with Xuan Yi?"
Feng Xian answered Xiao Yan's question: "The relationship is quite deep. Perhaps you should call her Aunt Xuan."
"Oh..." Xiao Yan drew out his words, "Teacher, don't let her kind intentions go to waste... Many children, many blessings!"
Yao Chen glared at Xiao Yan and gave him a flick on the forehead: "Alright, you dare to make fun of me now."
However, he knew Xiao Yan's true meaning was to tell him not to waste this pill.
Currently, no one in Starcloud Pavilion could refine an eighth-grade pill, and Yao Chen, who was only a soul body, couldn't either.
Using better materials would certainly result in a better state after revival.
Yao Chen pondered for a moment, then accepted it and said to Xiao Yan:
"How's your condition? If you're alright, let's proceed with the revival now. I've also heard about the troubles you've caused."
"Fenglei Pavilion is not to be trifled with... I can't bring trouble to Starcloud Pavilion as soon as I return!"
Yao Chen gave Xiao Yan an annoyed glance, and the latter touched his nose, revealing an awkward smile.
