At the same time that Xiao Xuan's cultivation broke through to the Origin Ancestor level, in the depths of the Xiao clan's back mountains, First Elder Xiao Zhen's old eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared in a certain direction.
"Breakthrough? Amazing … "
Xiao Zhen let out a surprised cry from his mouth. Soon after, he involuntarily laughed out loud. At the same time, he felt disbelief in his heart. Back then, he had thought of all sorts of methods for Xiao Xuan's breakthrough. He had even personally stepped forward to investigate. However, he was unable to find any useful clues. It was unexpected that Xiao Xuan had actually advanced in such a sudden manner. On top of feeling surprised in his heart, the First Elder involuntarily linked this matter to Xiao Yan.
"Could it be because of that brat?"
Outside the Xiao Clan.
A pair of turbid old eyes slowly opened. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He looked in the direction of the Xiao Clan, and his eyes were filled with shock. Then, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He paused for a moment, and then calmed down again.
Ouyang Clan.
On the peak of a mountain, there was a man in green clothes and a longsword.
Ouyang Yu in green clothes, and the longsword was called Serene Orchid.
Buzz!
When Ouyang Yu's cultivation broke through, the longsword lying quietly beside him on the peak of the mountain suddenly buzzed and trembled uncontrollably. It was as if it had received some kind of signal. A sharp sword aura surged from the Serene Orchid Sword and cut the surrounding rocks in half.
Seeing this, Ouyang Yu's expression did not change. His eyes stared straight at the northern horizon. Then, he extended two fingers and placed them on the sword. With a light press, the sword immediately stabilized. However, even so, the sword Qi that surged out from the tip of the sword still left a shallow wound on Ouyang Yu's wrist.
Hiss …
Ouyang Yu instantly sucked in a breath of cold air as shock appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and stared at the dark red wound. He seemed to be deep in thought as he quickly calmed down. Then, he took a deep breath and said indifferently:
He took a deep breath and said, "It seems that he has a great influence on you …"
When a weapon attacked its master, unless there was a demon involved, it must have met a master who was better than it. It could not take it and wanted to break free from its restraints.
"If I remember correctly, his name seems to be Xiao Xuan."
After a long while, Ouyang Yu finally let out a soft sigh. When he came back to his senses, he slowly placed his hand on the You Lan Sword and gently stroked it.
"Old friend, thank you for all these years …"
The man's face was calm, but his eyes were filled with reluctance.
At a certain moment, Ouyang Yu slowly took a deep breath. As if he had made up his mind, he suddenly tore off a piece of cloth from his robe. With a flick of his finger, the sword body immediately rose into the air. The cloth circled in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the sword was completely wrapped up and sealed.
The man's eyes were tightly shut as he stood silently on the mountain peak, feeling the last remnants of the aura in the air.
From then on, the Ouyang family no longer had the Orchid Sword.
.....
One month later.
In front of a secret chamber in the Xiao clan, Xiao Jinghong and Xiao Tian stood there. The two of them looked at the door of the secret chamber that was slowly opening in front of them, and their eyes were filled with nervous anticipation.
Soon, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the secret chamber. The old man looked a little dejected. When he walked out, he saw the grandfather and grandson with faces full of anticipation. He was startled at first, but in the end, he helplessly shook his head and sighed.
"I have failed to live up to your expectations …"
When these words came out, the grandfather and grandson's hearts suddenly thumped, and the expressions on their faces froze. After a long while, Xiao Tian helplessly smiled, took a deep breath, and shook his head. He looked at Xiao Jinghong and comforted him,
"Grandfather, it's okay. I don't have any pills. At most, I will cultivate by myself. I will break through sooner or later."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinghong's withered hand couldn't help but tremble. Only then did it land on the latter's shoulder and said in a low voice,
"That's true, but it has been a few years. Seeing that this year's clan gathering is around the corner, if your cultivation still can't break through, I'm afraid …"
Xiao Tian pursed his lips and felt quite helpless in his heart. In order to find more powerful strength, the cultivation method he cultivated was naturally more special. Although it was quite powerful and domineering usually, once it was time to break through, the resistance he had to face was especially great. But on the other hand, once he broke through, the rebound would not only increase his combat power, but even his cultivation would also increase faster and stronger than others.
And this was also the reason why Xiao Tian's cultivation speed was inferior to other people of the same generation. If not for this, with Xiao Tian's cultivation talent, he should at least be at the same level as Xiao Yan.
"That bastard Xiao Mingyuan. If it wasn't for his unwillingness to help, how could this pill not be refined after such a long time!"
Xiao Jinghong's old face was extremely ugly. Although the old man in front of him was also an alchemist in the clan, he was only a rank 6 alchemist. It would be extremely difficult for him to refine a rank 7 Barrier Breaking Pill. In the entire Xiao clan, the strongest alchemist was Xiao Mingyuan, who was ranked third in the Elders Guild. He was a rank 7 alchemist. If he could help, Xiao Jinghong had no doubt that this Barrier Breaking Pill would be refined successfully.
— — —
But now, they and Xiao Yan were like fire and water. Xiao Mingyuan just so happened to be on the same side as Xiao Yan. It was impossible to ask him to help. It was also because they had no choice that they found the only rank 6 alchemist in the clan, Elder Xiao Ming. Unfortunately, under the circumstances where they paid the price of all the medicinal ingredients, the result was still so unbearable.
However, while the three of them were feeling gloomy, thunderclouds suddenly rolled in the sky above a certain courtyard in the Xiao clan. At the same time, waves of rich energy ripples were rapidly forming there.
The three of them turned their gazes and focused on the place where the energy ripples were occurring. In the blink of an eye, the expressions on their faces changed.
"This is … the birth of a rank 7 pill. Is Third Elder refining the pill?"
As an alchemist, Xiao Ming was the first to detect the unusual energy ripples. It was caused by the completion of the pill.
"That is Xiao Yan's residence!"
"Could it be that Third Elder is refining the pill for him?"
"Regardless of whether it is or not, let's go over and take a look first!"
Xiao Jinghong let out a low cry. Immediately, he leaped into the air without any explanation. He took the lead and swiftly flew toward Xiao Yan's location. Behind him, Xiao Tian and Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment before following close behind.
At the same time, many people in the Xiao clan were attracted by the energy ripples and quickly rushed over.
However, when Xiao Jinghong and the others arrived, the first thing they discovered was a familiar figure. He was guarding the sky above the courtyard and preventing anyone from approaching. Looking at that person, it was actually Xiao Mingyuan. The person who was refining medicine at that moment …
