"Hey, hey, hey, who are you?"
Cao Ying took out a small mirror from her storage ring and looked at herself, amused by her current appearance.
Since she officially became an Alchemist at the age of seven, this was her first time experiencing a cauldron explosion.
That big bad Chu Xiao, he stirred her Heart-Nature and fiercely took her first time.
"I heard that Wind Venerable of Starfall Pavilion has been looking for this Medicine Venerable. If I bring him the news, wouldn't he owe me a favor?"
"It would be great if I could become a disciple of this Medicine Venerable. I wonder what his current situation is."
Cao Ying grinned, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.
If Chu Xiao were here, he would definitely exclaim, "Black people toothpaste has come to life."
"Eww~"
Disgusted by her own appearance, she quickly took out a cloak from her storage ring and put it on, then tiptoed to the door of the room.
Seeing no one outside, she immediately used a Fighting Skill to sprint to the hot spring pool behind her residence.
"Plop!"
Taking off her clothes and plunging into the bath, Cao Ying's thoughts raced.
Yao Chen, the former number one Alchemist on the continent, had been missing for many years, but his deeds still circulated within Dan Tower and Dan Region.
Every Alchemist admired Yao Chen as a role model, while high-spirited Geniuses wanted to surpass him.
She never expected to obtain information about him in the notebook instance today.
"I wonder what the current situation of this Medicine Venerable is."
Cao Ying refocused her attention on the notebook instance.
She believed Chu Xiao would answer her questions.
[Old Rogue Yao, once so glorious, is now barely clinging to life as a Soul Body.]
[If he hadn't met Xiao Yanzi, who had Innate and powerful Soul perception, allowing him to finally devour Dou Qi to restore his own Soul Power, he would have likely perished silently in this remote place.]
"Is this why Xiao Yan's cultivation regressed and he became a good-for-nothing?"
Yun Yun, who had some understanding of Xiao Yan's situation, suddenly realized and then sighed deeply.
Who would have thought that the downfall of a former Genius would lead to such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity?
If Yanran hadn't annulled the engagement, with her status as Xiao Yan's fiancée, she would certainly have benefited.
But she pushed all of that away herself.
"Disciple, you will have regrets in the future," Yun Yun shook her head gently and continued to read the notebook.
She was more curious as to why the Medicine Venerable, with such status, position, and strength, had ended up in his current state.
[Xiao Yanzi became a good-for-nothing for three years because of him, but his Heart-Nature was tempered, and he was no longer as impetuous as before, which is a good thing in the long run.]
[With a former Peak Nine-Revolving Dou Venerate and an Advanced Eighth-Grade Alchemist personally guiding him, Xiao Yanzi's future is boundless, almost surpassing even me.]
The women: "…"
In other words, even with Yao Chen's personal guidance, Xiao Yan still couldn't surpass you.
What kind of Talent is this?
[Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined; you can't say for sure until the very last moment.]
[This applies to Xiao Yanzi, and it's also true for Old Yao.]
[His current predicament is all because, back then, he kindly saved an orphan, named him Han Feng, took him as a disciple, treated him like his own child, and even specially prepared Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid when he was two years old to help nourish his Meridians, making his originally good Alchemist Talent perfect.]
[But Han Feng was not satisfied; he colluded with outsiders to ambush him, just to obtain a Cultivation Technique.]
The women: ?
"Did I read that wrong?"
Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"Short-sighted, ridiculous."
In Stone Desert City, Medusa, who had just bought a courtyard to live in, curled her lips in disdain.
Lowering her head to look at her feet, she felt as if something was missing.
"What kind of trash is this!?"
Feng Qing'er felt her intelligence insulted.
If it were anyone else, with Yao Chen as a teacher, who was practically like a biological father, they would just need to be obedient and lie down to win.
Yet, Han Feng betrayed him just to get a Cultivation Technique he thought was good. Wasn't that picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon?
What Cultivation Technique could be better than Yao Chen, a Peak Dou Venerate and an Advanced Eighth-Grade Alchemist?
[Ingratitude, wolf-hearted, deserving of a hundred deaths...]
The women nodded, expressing their agreement.
[Although this Cultivation Technique is indeed very powerful, and my future Breakthrough to Dou Di is inextricably linked to it, it shouldn't be your reason for betrayal, Han Feng.]
The women: ?
They wouldn't even prop up a wall, but they would support you.
This twist, it almost threw their backs out.
"I wonder how many people are stirring," Chu Xiao said with a smile in his eyes.
It was just a Cultivation Technique related to Dou Di, not as valuable as him, a Rebirth Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign.
There was nothing to hide!
"A Cultivation Technique related to breaking through to Dou Di?"
"Nothing special."
Feng Qing'er realized she was getting carried away; she actually wasn't very interested in this Cultivation Technique.
Because if everything recorded in the notebook was true, then even serving as Chu Xiao's mount could allow her to reach a height far beyond Dou Di.
What she wanted to hear now was information about a peerless Divine Ability that could transform her Bloodline.
[However, in my view, having reached Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign later, none of these matter.]
"Those words, you can say them after all your future memories have been restored," Medusa said, crossing her arms and wiggling her foot, her tongue sharp.
[Fortunately, Old Yao didn't stumble twice in the same place. He took Xiao Yanzi as a disciple, still pouring everything into teaching him to become talented, even nearly sacrificing his own life.]
[And Xiao Yanzi, under my guidance, also valued loyalty and repaid even the smallest kindness with a gushing spring. Later, when he reached the Major Thousand Worlds, Old Yao also had a place in my Heavenly Palace.]
[When I fell, he was only one step away from Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign.]
The women: !
At this moment, they truly understood Chu Xiao's words: "Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined; you can't say for sure until the very last moment."
Yao Chen's first disciple caused him to fall from such a high position into the dust, almost perishing silently.
But his second disciple brought him great fortune, allowing him to Ascend to the Major Thousand Worlds in the future and become a Heavenly Venerate of the Boundless Fire Domain under the Heavenly Palace.
[So, it's very important to open your eyes and invest in the right person.]
Chu Xiao said this from the bottom of his Heart-Nature.
The Boundless Fire Domain has Old Yao, but Yu Xiaogang is not seen in the Divine Realm.
The Fire Domain stands at the frontier, but can the Abyss be human?
Mu Chen has become a Dominator, but when will Yu Hao achieve freedom?
Better to be Xiao Yan's younger brother than Tang San's brother.
There are living examples right there.
[It's better to choose the right person to lie down with than to have good talent yourself.]
[Just like Ya Fei, whose Cultivation talent was extremely poor; with her own efforts, it would be difficult for her to become a Great Dou Master in this life.]
[But when the Xiao Family was persecuted by the Yun Lan Sect, she, with Hai Bodong's support, led the Mittel Family to fully provide shelter, and was regarded as a benefactor by me and Xiao Yanzi.]
[Later, Xiao Yanzi and I gave her numerous Heaven And Earth Treasures and Medicinal Pills to improve her Physique and enhance her cultivation. She also Ascended to the Major Thousand Worlds with me in the future, becoming the Chief Steward of the Ancient Heavenly Palace.]
"What!?" Yun Yun's expression changed drastically.
The Yun Lan Sect will persecute the Xiao Family in the future?
Isn't this narrowing their path?
How could such a thing happen!
Because of Yanran and Xiao Yan's three-year agreement?
That shouldn't be; she wasn't that overbearing in her actions.
According to Chu Xiao, she had a flirtatious relationship with him.
She wouldn't allow the Yun Lan Sect to persecute the Xiao Family out of consideration for Chu Xiao's Face.
And they even needed the protection of the Mittel Family, with Ice Emperor Hai Bodong returning.
This must have reached a point of no return, right?
"What exactly happened?"
