Chapter 165 Strengthening the Family
Beast Realm, Dragon Soul Mountains!
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the originally clear sky, and the crack quickly expanded, revealing a deep and dark void.
The next moment, a black dragon emerged from it. With a burst of black light, the black dragon changed into a human form, which was Hei Qing.
Then Hei Qing said to Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan:
"I'll take you here. Next time you come back to Donglong Island, let Zi Yan send a message and I'll come to pick you up."
During these three years, Zi Yan also systematically learned many secret techniques of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, from cultivation to combat, to calling on fellow clansmen and so on. Although she dare not say that she has mastered all of them, she has learned most of them.
Xu Haoyu smiled and cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you very much, Brother Hei Qing. Don't forget to collect the herbs."
Hei Qing patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, my brother's willingness to refine the pills for me is already a great help. As for finding medicinal materials, I will definitely collect them as soon as possible and prepare three copies according to your alchemist's rules."
Then, Hei Qing greeted Zi Yan again, and then he turned around and tore through the void and left.
At this moment, only Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan were left in the sky.
Xu Haoyu turned his head, looked at Zi Yan and said:
"Then let's go. It's a long way to get back to the Black Horn Region from the Beast Region, but I'm already a Dou Zun. Opening up a space channel should greatly shorten the travel time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Haoyu activated his fighting spirit, and a violent aura spread out. He stretched out his hand and slashed downwards, tearing out a space channel.
Then, he took Zi Yan with him, and the two of them entered the space channel one after another. Without Xu Haoyu's fighting spirit to maintain it, the space channel was gradually closed, and the Dragon Soul Mountains returned to their previous tranquility.
Inside the space channel, Zi Yan looked around and said at the fragile silver outer wall:
"Your technique is a bit rough. You are not very skilled in controlling the power of space."
Although Zi Yan does not have enough energy to open the space channel now, as an ancient Taixu dragon, she is naturally extremely sensitive to space. She can see a lot of things from the space channel opened up by Xu Haoyu.
Xu Haoyu's heart moved, and he said with a faint smile:
"I have just broken through to Dou Zun, so I am definitely not too familiar with the control of space power. You are the Taixu Ancient Dragon, so why don't you teach me how to use the power of space."
Zi Yan raised her little face, looked proud, and said with joy:
"Since you said so, let me teach you..."
Then, Zi Yan began to teach, and Xu Haoyu followed. Actually, Zi Yan was not a good teacher. She couldn't explain how to use the power of space, but she instinctively felt that it should be done this way.
Faced with Zi Yan's teaching, Xu Haoyu couldn't figure out the reason, so he just practiced more. Anyway, he had enough fighting spirit. Through repeated practice, Xu Haoyu's control over the power of space became more and more profound.
In short, the two of them cooperated very well. Zi Yan pointed out what was wrong and what should be done, and Xu Haoyu responded by expending a lot of fighting spirit to make adjustments.
During this process, both of them were very satisfied. Moreover, the journey that would have taken at least several months took less than a month after Xu Haoyu became more proficient in controlling the power of space. They crossed the mountains and seas and returned to the vicinity of the northwest continent. After exiting the space channel, Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan first asked the locals about the location of this place, and then quickly found the Tianxin Empire according to the northwest map.
Tianxin Empire, Tianxin City!
On this day, a majestic aura was released from the sky, which made Yao Tianhuo and Xu Tianlong feel frightened.
The two men touched each other's heads and decided that they could not sit and wait for death. Facing an unknown strong man, they must take the initiative to attack.
Then the two of them instantly took off into the air and quickly flew high into the sky. As a result, they saw Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan.
The two rubbed their eyes, both of them were a little bit unbelievable.
Xu Tianlong hesitated and said:
"Haoyu, Ziyan, it's you, and Haoyu, have you broken through to Dou Zun?"
Xu Haoyu nodded and said with a smile:
"Grandpa, senior, it's us. Four years have passed. It's normal for me to break through to Dou Zun. By the way, has the family been doing well during the years I was away?"
Yao Tianhuo was also amazed. He was also a genius back then, otherwise he would not have broken through to Dou Zun. But he had never seen a genius like Xu Haoyu, who had broken through to Dou Zun at such a young age. This would probably make countless people on the continent stunned. Then he said:
"Young friend, rest assured. I said I would protect your family for ten years and would not let anything happen to your family. However, over the years, there have been some villains who came to investigate secretly. From what I sense, they are not normal people. Instead, they are spirits just like the Eagle Guardian back then. But because I am here, no one dares to show up."
When Xu Haoyu heard this, his expression darkened slightly. It seemed that since he had captured the Eagle Protector, the Soul Palace's branch must have held a grudge against him, so they had sent people to investigate over the years.
Fortunately, with Yaotianhuo, a powerful Dou Zun, in charge, the branch halls of the Soul Palace did not dare to act recklessly. Outside of Zhongzhou, on other continental plates, the power of the Soul Palace could not cover the sky with one hand.
The power of the family must be strengthened. He doesn't want to go out for training and come back to hear the news of the destruction of the family. He grew up here since he was a child, and it is impossible to say that he has no feelings.
Then, Xu Haoyu said:
"Thank you, senior. This time I come back and I can fulfill my promise and refine an eighth-grade elixir for you, the Fuling Qingdan, to help you recover your peak strength. I will leave next, and I still need you to protect our family for a while."
Yao Tianhuo was very shocked. Xu Haoyu really gave him a big surprise. He also smiled happily and said:
"I should thank you, young friend. Not only did you revive me, but you also helped me regain my strength. You can go out and train without worry. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to your family."
Not only Yao Tianhuo, Xu Tianlong was also surprised:
"Haoyu, not only did you break through to Dou Zun, you also became an eighth-grade alchemist. Even though I have full confidence in you, I didn't expect you to accomplish these two things at the same time in just five years."
Xu Haoyu looked at Xu Tianlong and said:
"You have gained a lot from your training outside, Grandpa. I see that you have made a lot of progress and have already become a Nine-Star Dou Zong. After refining the Fuling Qingdan, I will refine some seventh-grade pills for you to stabilize your mind, strengthen your essence, and consolidate your foundation, so that you can impact Dou Zun without any worries."
Xu Tianlong was filled with emotion. He remembered that many years ago, Xu Haoyu said that he wanted to become a high-level alchemist and refine seventh-grade elixirs for him so that he could become a Dou Zun. Now Xu Haoyu has really done it.
