In the blink of an eye, a full week had passed since Xiao Yan had disappeared from the Bai Family's sphere of influence. During this week, the Bai Family and the Huo Family had searched the entire mountain range, from the periphery of the mountain range to the core. The orders from the higher-ups were to find Huo Ting if he was alive, and Xiao Yan was definitely still in the mountain range. Unfortunately, a week had passed, and the people looking for Xiao Yan had searched back and forth no less than five times, but they still could not find any trace of Xiao Yan.
In the void, the black-clothed man had already left, and Huo Ting had no choice but to return to the Huo Family under pressure. Many people in the Huo Family even thought that he had persisted because he wanted to cover up his mistake at the auction. For a time, Huo Ting, who did not gain any favor outside and was constantly under pressure within the Huo Family, fell into a state of depression because of this matter. In his heart, he was even more determined to find Xiao Yan.
At the same time, in the mountain range, Xiao Yan, who was in the cave, had more or less recovered from his injuries after a week of recovery. In the outside world, the experts sent by the Huo Family were also called back to the Huo Family. Due to Huo Ting's matter, they would no longer be under his command for the time being.
As for the Bai Family, they had moved completely to cooperate with the Huo Family's actions. From the beginning to the end, Bai Ying had not given any orders to find Xiao Yan. All the actions of the Bai Family experts were controlled by Huo Ting. Now that the experts of the Huo Family had been called back, the people of the Bai Family naturally returned to the Huo Family.
In the cave, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. Not long ago, he had spread out his Soul Strength and clearly sensed that the two families had all retreated. Although the situation seemed to be safe for the time being, Xiao Yan did not intend to leave just like that. There were always exceptions to everything. If the two families left just to bait Xiao Yan, then wouldn't he be falling into their trap if he left now? Moreover …
Xiao Yan flipped his hand and took out an exquisitely crafted jade box from his Storage Ring.
Inside this jade box was the first auction item that Xiao Yan had won in the last auction, the Jade Bone Fruit.
The Jade Bone Fruit was able to increase the cultivation level of the person who devoured it. However, this level of increase was limited to a Ban Di expert. For example, the current Xiao Yan's strength had already reached the intermediate level of a six star Ban Di. If he were to swallow this Jade Bone Fruit, his strength would once again increase to an advanced level of a six star Ban Di.
Although they were both six star half Emperors, the gap between the middle stage and the late stage was like the gap between heaven and earth. With Xiao Yan's current strength, after using all of his techniques, he would at the very most be comparable to an ordinary middle stage one star Dou Di. In the long run, Xiao Yan would definitely be at a disadvantage. However, once Xiao Yan swallowed this Jade Bone Fruit, his strength would increase to the late stage of a six star half Emperor. At that time, Xiao Yan would have the confidence to face a late stage one star Dou Di. Even if he were to face a middle stage one star Dou Di, Xiao Yan would still have the strength to fight!
Of course, all of this was merely Xiao Yan's personal guess. As for the true strength, it would depend on the strength that Xiao Yan was able to erupt with in an actual battle.
After taking out the Jade Bone Fruit, Xiao Yan did not hurry to swallow it. Instead, a thought passed through his mind and he used his powerful Soul Strength to call back the middle-aged man, who was still obediently guarding the entrance of the cave.
"Ke ke, sir, do you have a mission to hand over to Ah Bao since you have summoned me?"
After entering the cave, the middle-aged man who called himself Ah Bao immediately bowed to Xiao Yan. His face was filled with smiles. His heart did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. This time around, his eyes did not pay attention to the Northern King beside Xiao Yan. Instead, they were focused on Xiao Yan.
The Soul Strength of this black-robed young man in front of him had already reached the level of a rank three alchemist. Even an elite Dou Di would have to be respectful when meeting an alchemist of this level. How would Ah Bao dare to be careless? If he could form a relationship with such a person, it would bring him endless benefits!
"Here."
Xiao Yan randomly tossed it. A ray of light immediately shot toward Ah Bao. Seeing this, the latter hurriedly and carefully caught it in his hand. After which, he focused his eyes and saw that it was a round medicinal pill that had landed in his hand.
"This is … a rank three medicinal pill!"
Seeing this, Ah Bao was immediately overjoyed. Both of his eyes revealed a deep excitement. His entire body involuntarily trembled because of the wild joy in his heart. A rank three medicinal pill was something that he did not even dare to think about in the past. Now that it had actually landed in his hands, how could he not be overjoyed?
"There is no need to be surprised. This is only your reward for this week. I still need to borrow your cave for a period of time. Once the time is up, these medicinal pills will also be yours."
Xiao Yan casually said as he waved the jade bottle in his hand. Through the bottle, one could clearly see three round medicinal pills. These three medicinal pills were all rank three medicinal pills.
"Sir, feel free to use them. You can use them for as long as you want. Ah Bao will definitely not be dissatisfied!"
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. Xiao Yan had taken out medicinal pills as a reward. He could not be happier in his heart, so how could he feel dissatisfied?
Thinking about being able to obtain three rank three medicinal pills, Ah Bao's heart became even more excited. During this week, although there had been many people wandering around his territory, no one had dared to come to his place. It could be said that the medicinal pill in his hand was something that he had been waiting for. He had not spent the slightest bit of effort. Now that such a good thing had been placed in front of him, Ah Bao naturally would not miss it.
"My request is very simple. It's the same as this week. As long as no one can enter this place and disturb me, these three medicinal pills will be yours. Otherwise …"
"Sir, don't worry. With Ah Bao here, no one can enter this place. Ah Bao will definitely not let anyone disturb sir!"
Before Xiao Yan's words sounded, Ah Bao continued to open his mouth. At the same time, he patted his chest, appearing as though he was leaving everything to him. He appeared to be quite confident.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes and looked at the latter. His eyes faintly flickered, but he did not comment.
Although Ah Bao's strength could be considered as an expert in this mountain range, a mere nine star half Emperor was already nothing in Xiao Yan's eyes. In the eyes of the four great clans, Ah Bao was worthless. If Huo Ting intended to search for Xiao Yan, Ah Bao would definitely be unable to stop him with his strength.
Ah Bao randomly gave a couple of instructions before withdrawing with a heart filled with joy. Xiao Yan also withdrew his thoughts as his gaze once again landed on the jade box in his hand.
Whether or not he could leave this place completely depended on this Jade Bone Fruit!
