Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Yun Grabs Cai Lin's Lines
"Chu Xiao."
Xuan Yi searched her mind and found that she had never heard of this name before, yet it was intricately linked to the Xiao Clan of the past.
But for an Old Ancestor, a Dou Sheng expert, to pay attention to him, he must possess something special.
Perhaps she could find a way to glean some information from Cao Ying.
"Teacher."
Before long, Cao Ying returned to the room with her Family Elders.
At first, the Cao Family members all thought Cao Ying was joking.
Although they saw Cao Ying as the future of the Cao Family and were confident that she would enter the Small Dan Tower and be valued by its higher-ups,
she was, after all, still under thirteen years old, and her Cultivation and Alchemist strength were limited, with her talent not yet fully revealed.
How could she attract an existence like Xuan Yi to personally take her as a Disciple?
But the moment they saw the Immortal Master, all doubts vanished.
This temperament and demeanor could not possibly be faked by an ordinary person, and the Cao Family's higher-ups had been fortunate enough to meet Xuan Yi before.
"That's how it is. Cao Ying's talent is excellent; she can perfectly inherit my mantle. There's no need to waste time with conventional assessments," Xuan Yi said softly. "From today onwards, she is my Disciple, but you don't need to rush to announce this to the outside world, lest she be targeted by those with ulterior motives."
Cao Ying nodded frantically in agreement from the side.
Chu Xiao was that person with ulterior motives, and he absolutely couldn't be allowed to know.
"She will first study by my side and become a Seventh Rank Alchemist as soon as possible. Only then will her relationship with me be publicly announced," Xuan Yi instructed.
Although the Cao Family members felt a bit of regret, they naturally dared not raise any objections and readily agreed.
"The rewards for the Cao Family will be delivered tomorrow."
Leaving one last sentence, Xuan Yi took Cao Ying and left directly.
"Teacher, where are we going next?" Cao Ying asked curiously.
"Naturally, back to the Dan Tower. Where else would you want to go?" Xuan Yi asked with a playful smile.
The founder of the Dan Tower, a thousand years ago, was one of the five strongest experts on the Dou Qi Continent.
He built the Dan Tower here because this place was unique and beneficial to Alchemists.
As an Alchemist, Cultivating in the Dan Tower was the most correct choice.
"Teacher, you are a Peak Dou Zun. What future can there be in staying in the Dan Tower to Cultivate?" Cao Ying's eyes glowed with fervor. "Let's go on an adventure, perhaps to the Northwest Continent."
"Alchemy, this kind of thing, where isn't it taught?"
Xuan Yi paused, lost in thought.
Cao Ying's words gave her great inspiration.
The Old Ancestor also said that Chu Xiao was in the Northwest Continent.
Why shouldn't she go directly to find the main person and see what was special about him?
"A good idea." Xuan Yi waved her delicate hand. "Then we shall go to the Northwest Continent."
"But I must first inform Xuan Kongzi and the others."
The Dan Tower and the Soul Hall were enemies.
The Soul Hall was mysterious and constantly collecting Souls, and Alchemists had exceptionally outstanding Soul Power, so the Dan Tower was naturally at odds with it.
As one of the Dan Tower's three giants, she needed to be cautious when suddenly going to the remote Northwest Continent.
"Yay!" Cao Ying cheered, her eyes full of anticipation.
Hehehe.
The Heavenly Emperor has Rebirth, huh?
I'll just bring my Peak Dou Zun account to play with you.
"At that time, I'll scare that bastard to death! How dare he say I can't do it?!"
"How can my Cao Family's demonic woman be incapable?!"
Chu Xiao was unaware of any of this.
At this moment, he had already arrived in Gama Holy City.
There was still one day until the Yun Lan Sect's Sect Grand Assembly, so he wasn't in a hurry to rush there.
Instead, he came to the Mittel Family and found Mittel Tengshan.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master."
Mittel Tengshan cupped his fists in salute, his eyes, narrowed into slits, secretly appraising Chu Xiao, as if observing what was special about him that could make Hai Bodong bet the entire Mittel Family on him.
The Lingxiao Pavilion had not yet officially announced its establishment, but the higher-ups of the Mittel Family already knew they would join it, and even the Miteer Auction House would eventually transform into the Lingxiao Auction House.
What the Mittel Family gained was an Elder position and several Guest Elder positions within the Lingxiao Pavilion.
It wasn't that no one within the Family had complaints, but no one dared to voice any objections in front of Hai Bodong.
"Clan Chief Tengshan, hello." Chu Xiao nodded slightly and went straight to the point: "Send someone to transmit a message to Elder Hai, telling him that I need to hold a meeting."
"The Rejuvenation Purple Pill I promised him has already been refined, and there's also a Royal Extreme Pill waiting for him."
Hiss!
Mittel Tengshan's heart trembled.
Unlike ordinary Clan members, as a Dou Wang and the Clan Chief, he knew many things.
For example, Chu Xiao's Dao Companion was Queen Medusa, he had a Sixth Rank Demonic Beast mount, and he himself possessed secret techniques capable of killing a Dou Huang.
He also knew that Chu Xiao had promised Hai Bodong a Rejuvenation Purple Pill, a Sixth Rank Medicinal Pill that could restore two to three stars of the latter's strength.
If a Royal Extreme Pill was added, Hai Bodong could advance even further.
The problem was that Chu Xiao produced two Sixth Rank Medicinal Pills with such ease!
"Yes!" Mittel Tengshan accepted the order and withdrew.
After he left, Chu Xiao's mind stirred, and he returned to the Small World.
There was still time, so he would draw a prize.
[Consumed. Obtained an Auction House]
[Auction House]: Yellow Rank top-tier building, with seven floors.
"I can give it to Ya Fei then."
"It will be perfectly placed in Lingxiao City as the main branch of the Lingxiao Auction House."
Chu Xiao didn't rush to claim it; he closed his eyes and began to Cultivate.
What he didn't notice was that the moment he disappeared, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and a red-dressed woman wearing a veil appeared in the Mittel Family Clan Chief's study.
"Disappeared again."
Huo Zhi's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, filled with confusion.
Chu Xiao was only a Dou Wang. How did he manage to use spatial means to leave silently, even she, a Peak Dou Zong, couldn't detect him?
"He indeed has a secret on him."
Huo Zhi's figure flickered, disappearing like a fleeting illusion.
The night passed without incident, and morning arrived on the second day.
Chu Xiao stopped contemplating the notebook and came out of the Small World.
Punching a spatial rift open, he stepped into it, and when he reappeared, he was directly above the Mittel Family, with Dou Qi wings behind him.
Fifteen minutes later, outside the Yun Lan Sect's floating mountain, Chu Xiao raised a finger and lightly tapped forward, casting the Tian Yan Art.
Easily finding the spatial flaw in the Yun Lan Sect's grand formation barrier, he stepped into it and flew towards the Yun Lan Sect's Sect Plaza.
At this time, the Yun Lan Sect was bustling with noise, familiar people gathered in twos and threes, discussing.
Everyone was curious about Yun Yun's purpose in using her Sect Master authority to convene this Sect Grand Assembly.
To the north of the plaza was a ninety-nine-step white jade platform, with the Sect Grand Hall at the top, looking very grand.
On an open space at the very top of the steps, Gu He, a Guest Elder of the Yun Lan Sect, asked Grand Elder Yun Leng: "Grand Elder, may I know the purpose of the Sect Master convening this Sect Grand Assembly?"
"This old man asked the Sect Master, but she did not inform me," Yun Leng, who had originally a cold expression, still forced a benevolent smile when Gu He spoke to him. "This old man speculates it should be related to Lingxiao City."
Given the Yun Lan Sect's influence in the Gama Empire, some major actions of the Gama Empire's Imperial Family were not secrets.
Suddenly allocating a large area for others to build a city, with the Mittel Family fully responsible for the construction, and the long-missing Hai Bodong returning.
These matters had long caught the attention of the Yun Lan Sect, and the Elder Council had even held a meeting to decide to send people to investigate.
However, so far, they only knew that Lingxiao City was being built for the Lingxiao Pavilion, that the Lingxiao Pavilion Master was Chu Xiao, and that Chu Xiao was an external Genius young master of the Xiao Family in Utan City, but they had no further information.
When reported to Yun Yun, she had been in seclusion and hadn't managed affairs.
Now that she suddenly convened a Sect Grand Assembly, it could only be related to this matter.
"Over here, I did hear some news," Gu He said, looking at Yun Leng. "The Imperial Family, the Mittel Family, and the Snake-People Clan are all preparing to join the soon-to-be-established Lingxiao Pavilion."
"And that Lingxiao Pavilion Master, Chu Xiao, should have met Sect Master Yun Yun. Not long after that, the three-year agreement between Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family and Nalan Yanran was requested to be handled discreetly."
"I suspect the matter might be related to that Chu Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Yun Leng lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment, then said: "My Yun Lan Sect, since its Old Ancestor established it, what kind of storms has it not seen?"
"Even a strong outsider, facing my Yun Lan Sect, needs to behave."
"If the Lingxiao Pavilion threatens the Yun Lan Sect's position, this old man supports the Sect Master in having a fight, but if it is…"
Yun Leng didn't finish the rest of his sentence.
It wasn't that he was being mysterious, but rather that a spatial crack suddenly opened in front of the main hall.
Immediately after, Yun Yun stepped out from it, with Dou Qi wings and releasing the aura of a Seven-Star Dou Huang.
At this moment, the entire plaza fell silent.
However, the gazes of the crowd towards Yun Yun showed a few more hints of awe and excitement.
Their Yun Lan Sect Master, Yun Yun, seemed to have made a great Breakthrough in her strength.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Sect Grand Assembly." Yun Yun spoke softly, yet her voice resounded throughout the entire venue.
"We, respectfully greet the Sect Master!" Everyone simultaneously cupped their fists in salute.
"Mm." Yun Yun nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "Today's Sect Grand Assembly is to announce a major matter."
"This Sect Master intends to join the Lingxiao Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, many people showed expressions of shock and bewilderment.
Some didn't know what kind of force the Lingxiao Pavilion was, while those who did understand why Yun Yun would lead the Yun Lan Sect to join a newly established force.
No, from her meaning, it seemed only she herself was joining the Lingxiao Pavilion?
"Sect Master, no!" Yun Leng's expression changed drastically, and he was the first to speak: "My Yun Lan Sect will never be subservient to any other force, otherwise—"
"Otherwise?" Yun Yun looked towards Yun Leng, her aura fully unleashed: "Yun Leng, I am the Sect Master!"
[Oh, just arrived at the Yun Lan Sect, and I hear little Yun snatching Cai Lin's lines.]
Yun Yun: ?
Medusa: ?!
