"Mu Ling?"
Xiao Yan's mind did not have any impression of this name when he heard it. Instead, he felt that it was increasingly unfamiliar. He had really met too many people along the way. There were many people whom he could not remember clearly. Those who could leave a deep impression in his mind were those whom he had a strong relationship with. As for someone like this young man in front of him, he was unable to recall just when and where he had met such a person.
The expression deep within Mu Ling's eyes dimmed slightly when he saw Xiao Yan reveal such an expression. Although he felt a little disappointed in his heart, his face did not reveal any surprise. After all, such a thing was merely a casual action by Xiao Yan back then. How could he have known that a casual sentence he had uttered back then would actually create a genius with such outstanding alchemist skills?
However, just as Mu Ling was about to speak up for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, suddenly seemed to have recalled something. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise:
"You are the kid that I met in Yanluo City back then?"
When these words came out, Mu Ling's eyes, which had just dimmed, suddenly revealed a little ecstasy. He did not expect that after so many years, the person in front of him would actually remember such a small matter from back then. No matter what, this had already made Mu Ling more confident of his own value. At the same time, he could not help but respect Xiao Yan even more in his heart.
Back then, he was merely an inconspicuous little alchemist. It was incomparably difficult for him to even refine an ordinary medicinal pill. However, after experiencing that incident, his understanding of the way of alchemy had greatly soared. This was not merely because of his own talent. More importantly, it was because of the pride that Xiao Yan, that incomparably strong figure, had given him.
To be recognized by an expert, this was probably the dream of every young man.
"I did not expect that after so many years, elder would actually still remember me. I am Mu Ling. It is all thanks to elder's guidance that I am able to achieve what I have today. This junior will never forget elder's kindness!"
Tears of excitement continuously flowed in Mu Ling's eyes. In the blink of an eye, his entire face had turned red. After so many years, the person in front of him had already become an even more powerful existence. In fact, he could faintly feel that even his current teacher, Zhou Tai, was far inferior to him. Even so, he was still able to remember a small matter from back then. This really caused him to be pleasantly surprised.
Being able to see Xiao Yan again was already considered as fulfilling his wish. How could Mu Ling dare to have extravagant hopes that Xiao Yan would still remember him? However, while he was astonished, he could barely suppress the emotions in his heart.
However, when he saw Mu Ling, who was kneeling in front of him, revealing such a shocking appearance, Xiao Yan's old face turned red as he rubbed his nose. To be honest, he did not have much of an impression of Mu Ling. The reason why he was able to recall that incident was because of the Luo Tian Cauldron in his Storage Ring. The Luo Tian Cauldron was obtained from Yanluo City. This naturally left a deep impression on Xiao Yan. Now that he thought about it, he also remembered the mysterious expert that he met back then. That fellow from the Middle Region was also the reason why Xiao Yan was curious about Lian 'er's true identity.
That little girl, who looked like an ordinary girl, seemed to have a secret that no one knew about. It was just that the current Lian 'er …
Xiao Yan stood up. Mu Ling, who was kneeling respectfully in front of him, was also helped up by Xiao Yan. After which, the group of people chatted and laughed as they returned to the Liu Clan's mansion.
With Zhou Tai's presence, the atmosphere among the group involuntarily became lively. As they chatted and laughed, they seemed to have forgotten about the great battle that had occurred in the city. They did not even mention it.
After which, Mu Ling also introduced himself to the group. He was a rank three alchemist and one of the core disciples of the Southern Region Alchemist Alliance. If he was successful in the future, he even had the chance to enter the Pill Tower headquarters in the Middle Region. This was an unparalleled honor for them.
Even Zhou Tai's eyes were filled with excitement when he mentioned this matter. Mu Ling also had a longing expression. After the rest of the people heard this, their faces were filled with shock as they gathered their gazes on Mu Ling. They could not help but feel slightly shocked by the excellence of this young man in front of them.
However, when they thought about how Mu Ling was able to reach such heights with just a little guidance from Xiao Yan, the shock in their hearts immediately shifted to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan did not pay attention to the crowd's gazes. When he heard the familiar title that came from Mu Ling's mouth, there was only some curiosity and … excitement in his heart.
With regards to that place, Xiao Yan did not have any longing. However, if there was a chance, he would not hesitate to compete with the alchemist experts of the Pill Tower. As for treating the Pill Tower as a place of honor and yearning like the others, this was something that Xiao Yan could not do.
He'd experienced too much, and he didn't care about fame and glory a long time ago. Instead of thinking about it, it was better to place all his energy on cultivation. After all, so long as his strength was sufficient, then wouldn't fame and glory come knocking on his door obediently?
As the saying goes, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. This was the principle behind it.
After a few exchanges of greetings, the rest of the people in the hall gradually left. Only Bai Hua and Zhou Tai stayed behind. Of course, the reason why they stayed behind was naturally because of Xiao Yan.
"This time, I have to thank Elder Zhou for being able to force Fu Yulong to retreat. If it was not for you, I'm afraid that this matter would have been worse than I expected."
After everyone left, Xiao Yan stood up and respectfully cupped his hands towards Zhou Tai. With a sincere expression on his face, Bai Hua did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent when she saw this. She hurriedly bowed towards Zhou Tai. "Haha, we are all family.
There is no need to be so polite. In recent years, Fu Yulong's actions have been unusually eccentric. Many people in the Southern Region see him as a thorn in their side. However, due to this fellow's tyrannical strength, no one dares to stand up for him. The words that I said to that fellow today were actually the intentions of those old fellows in the Alchemist Alliance. Furthermore, if it was not for you, I'm afraid that I would not have been able to find such an outstanding disciple like Mu Ling. If there is anyone to thank, I should be the one thanking you. "
When these words were spoken, the three of them instantly looked at each other. Soon after, they burst into laughter. After a few exchanges of laughter, Zhou Tai finally found out that Xiao Yan had already joined the Alchemist Alliance in the Western Region. This meant that they belonged to the same faction. Their relationship with each other had unknowingly become even closer.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yan's gaze turned back and landed on Bai Hua.
In the past few days, Xiao Yan had been busy with the reorganization of the Liu Family. There were still some things that he had not asked Bai Hua clearly. Now that the trouble had been resolved, it was time to ask.
After a series of general inquiries, Bai Hua described the overall changes in the Liu Family to Xiao Yan over the past few years.
Over the past few years, with Bai Hua's protection, the Liu Family's overall strength had naturally increased by quite a bit. Even though they had encountered many troubles, the overall strength of the Liu Family was much stronger than when Xiao Yan had first met them. This was both within Xiao Yan's expectations and beyond his expectations.
In addition to the overall strength of the Liu Family, Liu Feng's remnant soul in the golden plaque had completely dissipated a few years ago. Only a strand of Spiritual Energy that Xiao Yan had left behind was still helping the descendants of the Liu Family grow.
After learning that Liu Feng's remnant soul had dissipated, while Xiao Yan was shocked, he could not help but feel pity in his heart. At the same time, he felt even more admiration for that fellow.
A remnant soul had actually forcefully supported the Liu Family to its current state. It must be said that as the former head of the Liu Family, Liu Feng was incomparably outstanding!
As for Murong Qianqian, Bai Hua had also told Xiao Yan in full detail about how she had arrived at this place. Once he heard that the girl had actually relied on a sentence that he had unintentionally said to find this place, Xiao Yan's heart could not help but feel shocked at this girl's actions. It was fortunate that he did not have the intention to lie to her. If it was someone else who harbored evil intentions, it was likely that this girl would not even know why she had been sold by that person.
Fortunately, since this little girl was here, he could at least account to Murong Xuan in the future.
Additionally, there was Lian 'er …
Compared to them, Lian 'er's current state was not what Xiao Yan had imagined.
