In the guest hall, everyone took their seats. After chatting with each other for a while, Leng Bingshuang came to know that after Murong Qianqian left the clan, she had come here alone. After that, under the care of Bai Hua, she had stayed in the Liu clan. After these years, Murong Qianqian and Bai Hua had developed a deeper relationship with each other.
Leng Bingshuang could not help but feel astonished in her heart. She did not expect that the good feelings that the little girl had for Xiao Yan back then would develop into this. While this caused Leng Bingshuang to feel astonished in her heart, she also unconsciously rejoiced. If it was not for this, it was likely that more trouble would have arisen between her and Murong Qianqian.
Thinking of this, Leng Bingshuang's heart suddenly jumped. She did not know why, but everything related to Xiao Yan seemed to make her unconsciously nervous. Even her own mood would change along with Xiao Yan. In her heart, Xiao Yan's position seemed to have become more and more unusual.
"Hehe, sister Bingshuang, I did not expect that you would actually be together with Xiao Yan. Weren't you quite cold to him back then? So it was all an act."
In the hall, Murong Qianqian could not be bothered to listen to the boring conversation between the group of men. She ran behind Leng Bingshuang, bent down and hugged Leng Bingshuang, who was sitting on a chair in front of her. Her charming red lips were close to Leng Bingshuang's pink ears. The playful words from her mouth caused Leng Bingshuang's cheeks to turn red. She could not help but turn her head and snort softly. She extended her hand and was about to pinch Murong Qianqian's willowy waist, but was dodged by the latter.
"Hehe, sister Bingshuang, do you often treat Xiao Yan like this?"
The naughty laughter entered Leng Bingshuang's ears, causing her face to reveal embarrassment and anger. She slapped the girl's soft chest, causing the latter to immediately cry out in surprise. Her body also rapidly retreated. At the same time, Leng Bingshuang's red cheeks could not help but reveal a playful smile.
Soon after, the two sisters once again played together.
On the other side, Xiao Yan, Luo Jin, and the others continued to discuss the matter of the Geocentric Body Milk.
"According to what I know, the 'Core Body Transforming Milk' can only be formed once every fifty years. I wonder if the 'Core Body Transforming Milk' still exists in the current Burning Flame Valley."
While everyone was discussing, Luo Jin threw another heavy bomb at everyone present.
Hearing this, quite a number of people present revealed a contemplative expression as they nodded their heads. It was indeed not bad. The Core Body Transforming Milk was originally a rare treasure of the world. The environmental conditions needed to form it were especially harsh. It was already not easy to form a drop of Core Body Transforming Milk in fifty years. If they missed the opportunity to form the Core Body Transforming Milk because of this, it could only be said to be the will of the heavens.
When Luo Jin said this, the hearts of everyone present sank slightly. The little flame of hope that had just been ignited in their hearts couldn't help but waver.
"Ah, if that's the case, then perhaps we haven't missed the opportunity …"
While everyone was in deep thought, Zhou Tai opened his mouth once again. With a single sentence, he successfully attracted the gazes of everyone present.
"After I entered the Alchemist Alliance, I have some understanding of the three sects of the Southern Region. I have seen it in a sect scroll. Every twenty-five years, the Burning Flame Valley will have a grand event within the sect. It is their Great Sect Competition."
"This Great Sect Competition is divided into two parts. One part is the competition between the top disciples of the sect, while the other part is the competition between the elders of the sect. The Burning Sky Ancestor will choose one person from each of these people to obtain a reward personally given by the ancestor. As for what exactly it is, no one knows. However, from what I think, if our luck isn't bad, that reward might be the 'Core Body Transforming Milk'. The nearest Great Sect Competition to us will be in two months!"
When these words were spoken, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin instantly looked at each other. The expression in their eyes was the same.
"Approximately how long will it take to travel from Qingyang City to the Burning Flame Valley?"
"With our group, we can reach there in at most half a month."
"Half a month, huh …"
Xiao Yan nodded his head gently. Finally, he let out a long sigh of relief. Although he could not be certain that this Great Sect Competition was related to the 'Core Body Transforming Milk', he could only make such arrangements since things had developed to this point.
The matter with the Sea Cloud Palace had yet to be completely settled. If they were to leave at this moment, Qingyang City would definitely be in danger if the Sea Cloud Palace were to make a comeback. Hence, it was best for them to stay here before they hurried to the Burning Flame Valley.
In the next few days, Qingyang City became much more peaceful. Perhaps it was due to the big battle a few days ago, but the human flow in Qingyang City did not decrease. Instead, it increased.
This was especially so when quite a number of people in the city learned that the Liu clan had defeated the palace master of the Sea Cloud Palace. The voices of the people in the city toward the Liu clan grew even louder. There were even quite a number of factions from nearby cities that had hurried over in their carriages and gathered in front of the Liu clan's mansion. Their flattering appearances caused one to involuntarily laugh coldly.
Usually, these fellows would guard their own territories and would never have any involvement with the Liu clan. They were afraid that the Sea Cloud Palace would find trouble with them. Now that they saw that the palace master of the Sea Cloud Palace had suffered at the hands of the Liu clan, all of them immediately rushed over to flatter him. They would either respectfully agree or complain. There were even some who were willing to lower themselves and scold him in order to show their loyalty. Moreover, looking at their practiced manner, it was likely that they had done such things many times before.
The hearts of the members of the Liu clan might be filled with disdain toward these fellows who were adding flowers to the brocade and even wished to kick them. However, they were still stopped by Xiao Yan. Not only did he not shut them out, he had even set up a couple of large courtyards to receive these fellows.
Throughout the day, the Liu clan had received quite a number of treasures. Regardless of whether it was high class Qi Methods or Dou Techniques, precious medicinal pills, or some rare and unique treasures that were rarely seen, all of them had been collected by the Liu clan this time around.
The valuable treasures in the entire courtyard were piled up into a mountain. These things added together were several times more than the Liu clan's annual profit.
According to Xiao Yan's words, going against these people could be understood as being smart. However, if they couldn't go against these treasures, they could only be described as being stupid.
Since there were people who were sending money to their doorstep, it would be a waste to not accept it. There was no need to be polite with these fellows. Since they were already here, they naturally had to put down the things before leaving.
With these financial support, the overall strength of the Liu clan would likely be able to rise to a new level.
While the Qingyang City was boldly collecting the wealth from all over the place, in the Sea Cloud Palace, a resentful Fu Yulong once again met the person who had come here before.
Wu Kui.
"Humph, are you satisfied now? There is more than one expert in the Qingyang City. There is a brat who possesses a Heavenly Flame. Even I have to be extremely cautious when dealing with him … "
"His name is Xiao Yan, isn't it?"
