Chapter 170 Nalan Yanran
"Look! There's a crack in the sky! Another Dou Zun strongman is coming to Shengdan City!"The sudden appearance of space cracks attracted the attention of many people in Shengdan City, but most of them just looked up and then looked away, as if just an ordinary Dou Huang had appeared.
It's not that the people in Shengdan City are strong enough to ignore the Dou Zun powerhouses, but these days, after Medicine Zun refined the elixir some time ago and auctioned off the Fire Returning Pill, more and more Dou Zun powerhouses came to Shengdan City, hoping to get a pill.
Therefore, they thought that Xiao Yun's performance of tearing the space was just that of a strange Dou Zun who wanted to obtain elixirs.
But soon, someone discovered that the person who appeared in the sky was not a strange Dou Zun, but the second most popular alchemist in Shengdan City, Xiao Yun!
"It's Master Xiao! I didn't expect that Master Xiao is not only an eighth-grade alchemy master, but also has reached the Dou Zun realm! He is truly a master of both literature and martial arts!"
"He is less than 20 years old and is an eighth-grade alchemy master and Dou Zun! And I heard that he is also the youngest elder in Danta! He is simply an existence that crushes all the geniuses in Zhongzhou!"
As Xiao Yun released his Dou Zun aura unscrupulously over the sky above Shengdan City, more and more people noticed his high-profile behavior. Soon, Yao Lao and the three giants of Danta flew out from the Black Tower of Babel.
"Mr. Yao, three presidents." Under the gazes of countless people, Xiao Yun took a step and walked in front of Mr. Yao and others.
"Haha! Good boy, judging from your aura, you should have successfully swallowed the Three Thousand Flames!" Yao Lao spoke first, feeling Xiao Yun's three-star Dou Zun's aura, and smiled with great relief.
"Master Yao, you are not bad either. Your strength has returned to the peak level of Dou Zun." Xiao Yun smiled slightly. In his perception, he was surprised to find that Master Yao's aura was almost the same as Xuan Kongzi and others. It was obvious that he had returned to the peak of his strength.
“It’s all thanks to your elixir that this old guy’s strength has returned.” Xuan Yi on the side said with a smile.
"After you entered the star field, Yao Chen refined an eighth-grade nine-color pill called Huo Huan Dan. According to him, you got this pill recipe from a semi-saint relic, right?" Xuan Kongzi took over the conversation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said slowly:
"Yao Chen took this elixir and exchanged it with an old immortal who was at the peak of Dou Zun for a rare item that could restore his strength. With this rare item, his strength could return to the peak of Dou Zun."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded. So that's how it is. Exchanging a Fire-Returning Pill for such a rare item, in the end it was Yao Lao who made the profit.
"Let's go back to Dan Tower first. There are too many people here. A lot of things have happened during the time you have been in the star field." The majestic and steady Tian Lei Zi glanced down and waved to everyone. Five figures flew straight to the giant tower under the gaze of countless people in Shengdan City.
……
In the familiar study room again, after Xiao Yun and the others sat in their respective seats, he glanced around and found that Skyfire Venerable and Little Medical Fairy had not arrived. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where are Xian'er and Huo Lao? Why can't I see them?"
Just now his aura permeated the entire Shengdan City. The two people in Dan Tower should have sensed it.
Hearing this, Yao Lao smiled slightly and said, "A few days ago, the old fellow Xuan Kongzi insisted on challenging me in alchemy, so the two of us each refined a Zun Yi Dan. After the competition, we gave them to Xian Er and Huo Lao Ge. In a few days, they will be able to digest the medicinal power and break through the barrier."
Xiao Yun nodded and did not ask questions like who won. After all, judging from the degree of silence, it was obvious that Xuan Kongzi lost again.
"Ahem, Xiaoyun." Xuanyi, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and glanced at Yao Lao fiercely, then said with a smile: "Xiaoyun, when Yao Chen finished refining the Fire Returning Pill, our Dan Tower wanted to trade this pill formula, but this old guy said that the pill formula belongs to you, and without your permission, he has no right to make a decision."
"So we have been waiting for you. Now that you have come out, are you willing to trade with me, Danta? I am willing to exchange a roll of the eighth-grade top-level pill recipe for two items of equal value."
Hearing Xuan Yi's words, Xiao Yun looked at Yao Lao in surprise, then turned his gaze back, waved his hand, took out the recipe of the Fire Returning Pill from his ring, and said with a smile:
"Aunt Xuan, what I'm saying is that as an elder of Danta, I am also considered a member of Danta. I am willing to give you the recipe directly. If you must talk about compensation, it would be the Three Thousand Flames and those alchemy books."
After saying that, he handed the scroll of the pill recipe to Xuan Yi in front of him.
"This..." Xuan Yi's eyes flashed with relief, and he pushed the pill recipe back, saying with a smile: "Xiao Yun, you are thoughtful, but you subdued the Three Thousand Flames to solve a big problem for Danta, how can it be considered a reward."
"That's right!" Tian Leizi nodded and said in a low voice: "It's good that you have this intention, but Danta is not a place without bottom line. We will not ask the elders to hand over treasures! The greater the contribution, the greater the reward!"
"A volume of recipes for the elixir that allows you to break through to the semi-saint stage. I think its value is comparable to some ninth-grade elixirs!"
"Yes!" The other two also nodded. Then, Xuan Kongzi, the leader, walked up to them with a smile and said, "Since you don't want to be paid, then I'll let you go to Danta's library for two days! How do you think?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded. He didn't care about the library or that library. Anyway, he wanted to hand over the recipe to Dan Tower to see if they could help study it and come up with a new elixir.
So, he repeated to the three giants of Danta what he had said before to Yao Lao.
After listening to Xiao Yun's idea, Xuan Kongzi and the others nodded repeatedly, and said that when they deduced the new pill formula, they would send it directly to Xingyun Pavilion.
After chatting for a while, Yao Lao suddenly spoke up as if he remembered something, "Xiao Yun, people from Hua Zong are here to see you. Among them is a little girl who claims to be your cousin."
"Cousin?" Hearing this, Xiao Yun was a little surprised. When did someone from the Xiao family come to Zhongzhou?
"what is her name?"
"I think his name is something, Nalan something?" Yao Lao held his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't say it out. He looked at Xuan Kongzi and the others for help, but they also couldn't remember the name. After all, for them, if this little person didn't have some relationship with Xiao Yun, they wouldn't care at all.
"Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Yun took over the conversation, hesitantly.
"Yes, that's right, that's what the people of Hua Sect called her at that time!" Yao Lao clapped his hands. After being reminded by Xiao Yun, he finally remembered.
"..." Xiao Yun shook his head helplessly. He really thought that some capable person from the Xiao family had come to Zhongzhou, but it turned out to be the little girl Nalan Yanran.
Strictly speaking, Nalan Yanran can indeed be considered as his cousin. After all, the Xiao family and the Nalan family have had a marriage relationship for generations, which was not broken until Xiao Yun's generation. If the marriage protagonist of this generation had not been chosen poorly, the Xiao family and the Nalan family could continue to have an marriage relationship.
But this cousin was really not related to Xiao Yun at all. Xiao Yun had lived for nearly twenty years and had never even met her once.
"When did they come?"
"As early as when Yao Chen was refining medicine, people from the Hua Sect came, but you were still in the star field at that time, so we asked them to wait in the Dan Tower."
"They should still be in Danta now. Do you want to go down and take a look?" Xuan Kongzi said, looking at Xiao Yun with a smile.
"Okay, let's see what they want." Xiao Yun nodded slightly and stood up from his chair. He was really curious. Why did this little girl Nalan Yanran come to Zhongzhou? Could it be that Yun Yun brought her here?
……
Below the Dan Tower, two graceful figures, led by guards, came to the reception room and sat on the chairs.
"You two, Elder Xiao will be down soon. Please wait a moment." After saying that, the guard left the reception room directly.
After the guards left, a woman who looked older said, "Yanran, when Master Xiao comes down, it's up to you! You must invite him to our Hua Sect to treat Granny Hua!"
Faced with the older woman's sincere request, a trace of imperceptible bitterness emerged on Nalan Yanran's pretty face, and she slowly nodded in agreement.
Damn it! If I had known earlier, I would not have said that I was Xiao Yun’s cousin and got into this kind of trouble.
Nalan Yanran sighed softly in her heart and thought secretly.
When she broke off the engagement with the Xiao family, no one said anything about her at first. But as Xiao Yun and the Xiao family became more powerful, and he even saved the Yunlan Sect, more and more people started gossiping about her.
They laughed at her for being conceited. If she had not broken off the engagement, she might have been a member of the Xiao family now. Even people in her own Nalan family began to talk about her. Her grandfather Nalan Jie even fainted in anger and was cured by the Xiao family's elixir.
This kind of speech continued, and reached its peak when the news of Xiao Yan's breakthrough to the third-grade alchemist came! Although a sixteen-year-old third-grade alchemist could not compare to Xiao Yun, he was considered a top genius in the Jia Ma Empire and even in this remote place in the Northwest Continent.
Therefore, under the enormous pressure of ridicule, Nalan Yanran had the idea of running away from home. It just so happened that Yun Yun was also about to leave the Jia Ma Empire at that time. The master and disciple, one dared to think and the other dared to do it. Since neither of them had the strength of a Dou Zong, they ran directly to the Zhongzhou Continent.
After arriving in Zhongzhou, the two of them were very lucky to land in a city in the northern region, Tianhua City.
This is the territory of the Hua Sect. Thanks to the sect's non-aggression, the two people with outstanding looks but weak strength, after living in Tianhua City for a few days, Yun Yun brought Nalan Yanran to join the Hua Sect.
Although the Hua Sect is generally non-aggressive, a small number of people still occupy their own territory and compete for resources.
When the master and disciple first joined the Hua Sect, they were often bullied by others. At first, Yun Yun always protected her, but when Yun Yun was in seclusion for cultivation one day, Nalan Yanran was bullied by several Dou Ling-level Hua Sect disciples.
After Nalan Yanran was beaten and got angry, the rumor that Xiao Yun could refine the eighth-grade elixir reached Hua Zong. In a hurry, she actually said that Xiao Yun was her cousin! Let Hua Zong disciples be careful!
Originally, no one believed this, but the top leaders of Hua Sect could not help but search for the information. During this investigation, they found out that Yun Yun and his disciple did have some relationship with Xiao Yun. At least they were from the same Northwest Continent!
Holding the principle that it is better to believe it than not to believe it, the Hua Sect's top leaders immediately upgraded the treatment of Yun Yun and her apprentice by several levels, and also let them live with an old woman.
And this old woman is the target of this event, Granny Hua!
In her early years, Granny Hua fought with a powerful enemy. Although she killed the enemy, she also became ill, her legs were paralyzed, and she was seriously injured and would not live long.
After learning that Xiao Yun had successfully advanced to the eighth-grade alchemy master in Danta, the Hua Sect's top leaders requested Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yun's "cousin", to go to Danta to invite Xiao Yun to Hua Sect to treat Grandma Hua's injuries.
That's why Nalan Yanran followed an elder of the Hua Sect to Danta.
Nalan Yanran was reminiscing when suddenly there was a sound of a door being pushed open. She looked up and saw an unparalleled handsome young man in a green shirt slowly walking in.
"Xiao Yun...cousin?"
