"Dong'er, how are you feeling?" On the way back to the Flower Sect, Xiao Se asked Bibi Dong.
"Hmm, it's alright, but after devouring the three old demons of the Yunyu Sect, the group of Dou Zuns from the Tianming Sect, and several semi-saint Grand Elders, there is too much mottled Fighting Qi in my body. I fear I will need a long period of closed-door cultivation to refine it. It might take three to five years." A hint of reluctance and sadness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She had just reunited with Xiao Se, and now they had to part again.
"It doesn't matter. The reason your speed in refining Fighting Qi is slow is because the Rank of your Cultivation Technique is too low. I have already selected a Heaven RankAdvanced dark-attribute Cultivation Technique for you. When we return, I will use Heavenly Flame to help you purify the mottled Fighting Qi energy in your body. That way, you can leave seclusion in at most half a year." Xiao Se comforted her.
"Heaven RankAdvanced?" Bibi Dong's face showed disbelief, and she exclaimed, "Xiao Se, where did you get so many Heaven RankCultivation Techniques?"
"Heehee, Brother's ancestors were once the strongest Family on this continent, the Xiao Clan. Although it has declined, it left behind many Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques that were occupied by the Ancient Clan. Then, when Brother went to the Ancient Clan this time, he got them back." Long Kui, who was at the side, explained.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong suddenly realized.
Before long, Xiao Se and the others returned to the cave. Just after entering, they saw that there was already a small grave mound inside. It looked like it was Hua Granny's.
When Yun Yun saw Xiao Se return, she didn't care about being shy and impatiently threw herself into Xiao Se's arms.
"It's alright, everything is fine now." Xiao Se gently patted Yun Yun's back and said softly.
"Mm." Yun Yun nodded with teary eyes.
"How is Hua Granny?" Xiao Se asked casually.
Yun Yun took out the storage ring that Xiao Se had left behind earlier. A green light suddenly floated out from the storage ring, landed on the ground, and transformed into the figure of a mature, beautiful woman.
Xiao Se looked her up and down, inwardly sighing at the powerful medicinal effect of the Soul Poppy Fruit. It had actually allowed Hua Granny's dying Soul to regain its youth. If not for the fact that her aura was the same as before, Xiao Se would have thought he had identified the wrong person.
"This old woman thanks Young Master Xiao." Hua Granny bowed gracefully.
"It is nothing. I am very grateful that you were able to transfer your lifelong Fighting Qi to Yun'er, so this is nothing." Xiao Se waved his hand.
"This old woman has a presumptuous request." Hua Granny said with some hesitation.
"You want Yun'er to take over as the Flower SectSect Master, right? That won't be necessary. Yun'er is indifferent by nature and doesn't like power. Besides, when Yun'er was in danger, those old fossils in your Flower Sect cowered in a corner and were unwilling to help. I cannot rest easy letting Yun'er continue to stay in the Flower Sect. You should continue to guard the Flower Sect yourself." Xiao Se refused directly.
"Sigh." Hua Granny sighed helplessly and suddenly asked, "Is Yao Chen really still alive?"
"Wouldn't it be better if you just come with us to see later? He is currently at the Pill Tower, and SeniorXuan Yi is guarding him." Xiao Se smiled amusedly.
"What? At Xuan Yi's place?" Hua Granny was startled, but then sighed again, "Forget it, as long as I know he is still alive, that is enough. In this state of mine..."
Hearing this, Xiao Se gave Yun Yun a look. Yun Yun understood and took out the mirror she usually used for makeup from her storage ring, "Hua Granny, haven't you noticed that you have become younger?"
"This..." Hua Granny's old face flushed, and she looked in disbelief.
Xiao Se smiled and explained, "Actually, with your original Peak Dou Zun cultivation, it would have been impossible for you to become so old. It was only because the injuries were too severe that you became old. Now, with the help of the Soul Poppy Fruit, you have recovered your OriginSoul Qi. You are now equivalent to a Peak Dou Zun expert without a physical body."
"Young Master Xiao, this old woman cannot repay your great kindness. Please accept my bow." Hua Granny kowtowed in salute.
Xiao Se said, "Alright, we should go. After I finish refining bodies for Yao Lao and you, I still have other things to attend to."
Hua Granny entered the Soul-Nurturing storage ring as instructed. Xiao Se released his Fighting Qi to cover Yun Yun, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, A Si, Long Kui, and Nalan Yanran, then activated the Flying Thunder God, left the Flower Sect, and teleported to the Pill Tower.
Xiao Se and the others did not deliberately hide their auras. As soon as they arrived at the Pill Tower, they attracted the attention of the Little Pill Tower's experts. The Little Pill Tower's Grand Elder, along with an Advanced Semi-Saint, two Intermediate Semi-Saints, the Pill Tower Three Giants, and a group of other experts appeared. Upon seeing that it was Xiao Se, they breathed a sigh of relief while simultaneously being greatly shocked.
"Xiao Se, and Xue'er, your cultivation..." Xuan Yi flew in front of Xiao Se and the others, her face showing disbelief. Although her cultivation was only at the Peak Dou Zun level, her spirit power was exceptionally strong. In her perception, Xiao Se's aura was actually even stronger than that of the Little Pill Tower's Grand Elder, and Xiao Xue's aura was only slightly inferior to the Little Pill Tower's Grand Elder.
"I had some lucky encounters and managed to promote to Dou Saint." Xiao Se smiled.
"Dou Saint?!"
Hearing these two words, everyone from the Little Pill Tower gasped.
It is well known that on the Fighting Qi Continent, spirit power gradually grows as cultivation becomes stronger. Xiao Se already had the spirit power of the Early Stage of the Heaven Realm during his Dou Zun period, so now that he has broken through to Dou Saint, hasn't he already become a true Ninth-Grade Alchemist?
Xiao Se smiled faintly, not paying much attention to everyone's surprise, and transmitted his voice to Xuan Yi, "SeniorXuan Yi, the Materials to resurrect Yao Lao have been collected. Quickly take me there."
"Ah... oh." Xuan Yi quickly reacted. She first greeted the high-level members of the Pill Tower, such as Old Monster Lin, and then impatiently took Xiao Se and the others to the black tower where Yao Chen was located.
"Yo, Yao Lao, long time no see." Perhaps because of Xiao Yan's betrayal, which was a heavy blow, compared to more than half a year ago, Yao Lao had aged significantly.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect you to take that step so quickly." Yao Lao smiled bitterly.
"This is all thanks to your Flame Mantra, sir." Xiao Se laughed dryly.
"As expected, the Flame Mantra in my storage ring was stolen by you back then."
"When did you find out?" Xiao Se was somewhat surprised.
"From the moment you said the Flame Mantra was obtained from Han Feng after killing him, I sensed something was wrong because Han Feng never obtained the complete Flame Mantra from me. Forget it. The past is like smoke, it's all over. You were able to disregard the danger and specifically go to the Forgotten Soul Mountain Range to save me; strictly speaking, I owe you." Yao Lao smiled helplessly and turned his gaze to A Si in Yun Yun's arms, "Is this your son?"
"How about it, Yao Lao, would you like to consider taking another apprentice? My A Si is not like your first two apprentices who were so rebellious." Xiao Se said half-jokingly.
"You really know how to rub salt in a wound." Yao Lao rolled his eyes, then changed the subject, his expression suddenly becoming serious, "This little guy's Soul is exceptionally powerful by nature. Do you really intend to let him take me as his master?"
