Chapter 251: Alchemy to Pay Debt

Gu Zhen’s face gradually became gloomy, and the gentleness in his eyes was replaced by a hint of coldness.

He stood up slowly, and the aura around him gradually became sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its edge.

“Xiao Bai, you are too arrogant!”

Gu Zhen spoke coldly, with a hint of warning in his tone:

“How can an outsider like you make irresponsible comments about our clan’s ancestor?”

The Dou Di ancestor is the most respected existence of the ancient clan and the source of the ancient clan’s bloodline power.

And the person in front of him was really shameless to compare him with the ancestor of Dou Di!

Xiao Bai was still sitting on the stone bench, with a calm expression, as if he didn’t care about Gu Zhen’s momentum at all. He took a sip of tea and said lightly:

“Arrogant? I just don’t like your condescending attitude. You boast of your noble bloodline, but forget that the achievements of your ancestors did not come from bloodline!”

Hearing this, Gu Zhen’s eyes were like knives, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone:

“Although the ancestor is not of imperial descent, he is extremely talented. In the countless years of Douqi Continent, how many people can compare with him?”

He originally admired the man in front of him, who had come so far in this remote place in the northwest continent to be able to cross levels and compete with the imperial bloodline.

But now it seems that he is an ignorant person!
“Take care of yourself. If you have the opportunity to stand before our clan one day, you will understand what an imperial clan is!”

With a cold snort, Gu Zhen restrained his aura, glanced at Xiao Bai, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Xiao Bai ignored him, put down the teacup in his hand, his face calm and his eyes far away.
“Bah! The imperial family is so great!”

A golden light flashed out from his cuffs, patted Xiao Bai’s shoulder, and said carelessly.

“My Lord, don’t be afraid. Let’s grow up slowly for a few years, and then we’ll beat them into a pulp and take the young lady back!”

Standing on the shoulder, the little golden dragon crossed his chest with his paws, looking arrogant.

Xiao Bai glanced at it sideways, slightly speechless.

Which eye of this guy is afraid of him?

Gu Zhen’s cultivation level was no more than that of a three-star Dou Zong. If they were to fight, it would be hard to predict the outcome, but he believed that the other party would not be able to gain any advantage.

However, judging from Gu Zhen’s cultivation level, the four great commanders of the Black Annihilation Army have cultivation levels of at least mid-level Dou Zong. If one of them comes here today, it will be a bit troublesome!

“My cultivation is still too low. It seems I have to find an opportunity to go to the Izumo Empire and get that demonic poison spot. I can refine it and break through to Dou Zong as soon as possible!”

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart. He would go to the Luolei Valley of Canaan Academy to meditate for a while, improve his cultivation by a few stars, and then go to the Izumo Empire.

After all, Xie Biyan has the cultivation level of a four-star peak Dou Zong, and he also has the Iron Guardian of the Soul Palace. It would be difficult to deal with him now.

There happened to be a Soul Palace guardian there, so he could verify the effect of the Eternal Tribulation Thunder once again.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai’s brows moved slightly. He grabbed the little golden dragon on his shoulder and threw it into his sleeve. Then, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

“Huh? That guy Gu Zhen left?”

The visitor looked around and saw two cups of tea on the stone table, but only Xiao Bai was there. He couldn’t help but smacked his lips in regret.

“Brother Lei, are you here to see him?”

Xiao Bai looked at Lei Zhen who was looking around and asked.

“Why are you looking for that defeated general? I’m here to see Brother Xiao today. If I wasn’t afraid of disturbing you enjoying the moonlight these days, I would have come here a long time ago!”

Lei Zhen waved his hand, walked to Xiao Bai, winked and smiled.

“Find me?”

Xiao Bai was confused. He thought Lei Zhen came over to see what was going on because he felt the momentum from Gu Zhen’s outburst. He didn’t expect that he was coming for him.

“Ok!”

Lei Zhen sat down at the stone table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it all, he looked at Xiao Bai and said solemnly:

“Brother Xiao, I have something to ask you. If you know the inside story, please tell me the truth. Lei Zhen will be very grateful!”

“Oh?”

Seeing how serious he was, Xiao Bai was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface:

“I wonder what Brother Lei wants to ask?”

“Brother Xiao, as a student of Canaan College, do you know the origin of the college?”

Hearing this, Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He did not answer immediately, but sat down slowly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lei Zhen and himself, and then slowly spoke:
“Brother Lei, are you talking about Dean Mang?”

“You do know. I wonder what the relationship between Brother Xiao and him is?” Lei Zhen asked hurriedly with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Xiao Bai shook his head: “I have never met Dean Mang and we have no relationship!”

“what?”

Lei Zhen’s heart trembled, he stood up, the joy in his eyes gradually faded away, turning into a deep disappointment.

“Brother Lei, what are you doing?”

Xiao Bai looked at his expression and felt quite puzzled. Why did he seem so disappointed when he heard that Mang Tianchi had nothing to do with him?

“Ugh”

Lei Zhen sighed, sat down, and said slowly with a bitter look on his face:
“It’s okay to tell Brother Xiao that the dean of Canaan College is my uncle. About two years ago, the soul tablet he left in the family suddenly dimmed. The elders in the family followed the sensation and found that the sensation disappeared in a void with rich lightning energy. No abnormalities were found at the place. The only thing that is certain is that he is still alive!”

“During this period, the clan has been looking for his whereabouts. This is also the purpose of my coming to Canaan College this time!”

Xiao Bai’s heart sank. He immediately noticed that Lei Zhen’s words were referring to the void with rich thunder energy, not the void thunder pool.

Could it be that the Void Thunder Pool has escaped?

Thinking of the time he mentioned, more than two years ago, I couldn’t help but touch my sleeve, with a puzzled look on my face.

I felt like crying but couldn’t, and kept praying that nothing would happen to that thing!

The Void Thunder Pool is a very important part of his future. If it is gone, his cultivation progress will definitely be greatly affected.

Thoughts surged in his mind, but his face remained calm. He took a sip of tea and said slowly:
“Brother Lei, I really don’t know about Dean Mang’s affairs, but he is the dean of Canaan College and your uncle. He must be very powerful. Maybe he is just trapped in a secret place and can’t get out for the time being.”

When Lei Zhen heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it soon dimmed again, and he smiled bitterly:

“Brother Xiao, you don’t know that my uncle is indeed very powerful. He has already reached the peak of Dou Zun for many years and is even expected to reach the realm of Dou Sheng.”

“The elders of the clan have tried to track the aura through the soul tablet, but every time they try to track it, the aura will suddenly disappear, as if it is blocked by some force.”

Xiao Bai’s heart moved when he heard this. He felt vaguely that the Void Thunder Pool might not have dissipated. However, he did not speak out these speculations, but comforted:
“Brother Lei, don’t worry too much. Dean Mang is so powerful that there shouldn’t be any accidents. When the time is right, he will naturally return.”

Lei Zhen nodded and forced a smile:
“I hope so. But.”

After hesitating for a moment, he reached into his ring and took out a jade token, saying:
“If you have any news about my uncle in the future, please let me know. Just crush this jade token and I will come to find Brother Xiao!”

Xiao Bai took the jade token and nodded solemnly:
“Brother Lei, rest assured. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible.”

Lei Zhen’s expression eased a little after hearing this. He picked up the teacup and drank it all. Then he stood up and said:
“In that case, I won’t bother you any more. Take care, Brother Xiao.”

Xiao Bai also stood up to see him off, bowed and said:
“Brother Lei, take care and go.”

After Lei Zhen left, Xiao Bai sat back on the stone bench, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. The little golden dragon in his sleeve poked its head out, blinked, and frowned in thought:

“My Lord, the place he just mentioned seems familiar to me!”

As he spoke, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he urged:
“Should we look for it in the void? I feel like that place is very important to me!”

Xiao Bai’s breathing stagnated, he glared at it and said unhappily:
“Do you know where it is? Besides, with our current cultivation level, are we going to die in the void?”

In the void space, space collapse may occur at any time.

Once that kind of situation occurs, the violent tearing force of the omnipresent space will instantly tear even an ordinary Dou Zun warrior into pieces.

Without special means of survival, who would dare to wander around in the boundless void?

“Uh”

The little golden dragon smiled awkwardly, then realized that a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him a little excited and impulsive, and he forgot the current situation.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai shook his head and said soothingly:
“There is no rush for this matter. With our current strength, we may be in danger if we rashly go looking for him. The most urgent thing is to improve our strength first. After I break through to Dou Zong, I will make plans.”

The little golden dragon nodded, shrank back into his sleeve obediently, and said no more.

Xiao Bai stood up and looked towards the distant sky. A green figure appeared in his mind. Thinking of the girl’s smile, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly:
“Xun’er, wait for me, we will meet again soon!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bai disappeared into the pavilion in a flash.

City Lord’s Mansion.

After Xiao Bai came back, he entered a secret room and began to count the medicinal herbs in his hands. This time he went to Luolei Valley to retreat and improve his cultivation, so he had to prepare an Huangji Pill.

As for the medicinal materials needed for the elixir, he already had them. After killing Yuan Yi, he got three batches of Huangji Pill medicinal materials from him.

“Xian’er is about to break through, so I might as well refine the three herbs together. I’ll use one for myself, and the remaining one for Xian’er and one for Yun’er. Perfect!”

After sorting out the medicinal materials for the Huangji Pill, Xiao Bai took out another large pile of medicinal materials.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to refine the elixir, he also refined the elixir debt he owed. Canaan College owed him three Douling Pills and Jia Xingtian’s Hunyuan Bone-shaping Pill.

He asked Xue Yuan to collect the medicinal materials for Doulingdan before he went to the Jiama Empire.

This guy wanted to use the Douling Pill to break through to the Douhuang level, so he was very concerned about the medicinal materials and collected a total of five medicinal materials.

“Damn it, ten sixth-grade pills, this will probably take half a month!”

Looking at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs in front of him, Xiao Bai was speechless. He took a deep breath and waved his hand.

A pitch-black medicine cauldron appeared on the ground. With a flick of his finger, a flash of red light fell into the fire mouth of the cauldron. Suddenly, a raging flame burned in the cauldron.

Medicinal herbs were continuously thrown into the cauldron, turning into powder in an instant and extracting their medicinal essence.

The secret room was filled with the aroma of medicine.

Time passes slowly.

Zixiao City was quite lively as people were discussing the wonders that had occurred in the past few days.

Almost every other day, there would be a vision of a sixth-grade elixir being born, with beams of energy shooting up into the sky.

The practitioners in the city were all speculating which alchemy master was in seclusion here to make alchemy, and how could he have such an amazing skill.

“Look, it appears again. Is this the seventh time?”

Looking at the column of light rising into the sky again, the practitioners in the city stopped and looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

“Oh my god, he has refined six levels of elixirs in a row. What level of alchemist is this master?”

“I heard that the master is in the City Lord’s Mansion. When did such a master of alchemy appear in the Black Horn Region?”

“Shh, keep your voice down. We can’t discuss this level of existence casually.”

There was a lot of discussion in the city, and in Xiao Bai’s secret room in the City Lord’s Mansion, the aroma of medicine was faint.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, but his eyes were still focused and his hands did not stop moving at all.

In his hands, rare medicinal herbs turned into pure medicinal liquid, which was then fused and condensed in the medicine cauldron, eventually forming round and full pills.

“call–“

Xiao Bai let out a long sigh, raised his hand and waved it, and the flame in the medicine cauldron gradually went out.

He stretched out his hand, and a Huangji Pill emitting a strong medicinal fragrance fell into his palm.

The surface of the pill was as smooth as jade, with faint powerful energy fluctuations flowing through it.

“It’s done!”

Xiao Bai nodded with satisfaction and put the top-grade Huangji Pill into the jade bottle.

Then, he began to refine the next pill.

As time went by, the medicinal fragrance in the secret room became stronger and stronger, almost to the point where it could not be dissolved.

If someone below the level of Dou Wang were to practice this again, he would definitely be extremely shocked, because the energy here is really too strong, and it also has the effect of helping to break the mirror.

Xiao Bai’s alchemy skills became more and more sophisticated, and his refining speed gradually increased. He put the last two Douling Pills together to refine them, and directly produced two pills in one furnace, and both of them were of extraordinary quality.

The task of refining ten sixth-grade pills was finally completed successfully after half a month.

“It’s finally over!”

He stretched himself, a look of fatigue on his face.

After half a month of high-intensity alchemy, even with his soul power, he felt a little overwhelmed.

However, looking at the neatly arranged jade bottles in front of him, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

“Next, I will go back to Canaan College and go to Luolei Valley for retreat and breakthrough.”

He put away the medicine cauldron and the remaining herbs, and put the jade bottles into the ring one by one.

When he walked out of the secret room, he saw Xue Yuan and Ji Bu standing outside the secret room, looking at him with admiration, as if they were looking at a god.

“Welcome the city lord to come out of seclusion!”

Seeing Xiao Bai’s gaze, the two of them hurriedly put away their shocked expressions and saluted respectfully.

“Ok!”

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, looked at the two of them, and said:

“Xue Yuan, Ji Bu, you two have performed well recently. You have done your best and managed Zixiao City in an orderly manner. I am very satisfied!”

“It’s our honor to serve the city lord!” Expectation suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two men, and they bowed in response.

“Get up, here I will reward you for your merits. These two Douling Pills will be given to each of you. Remember to practice well and do your best in the future!”

Xiao Bai snapped his fingers and two jade bottles flew in front of the two of them.

“Thank you, City Lord. We will do our best for Zixiao City!”

After the two of them bowed solemnly, the other took the jade bottle with excitement on their faces and held it tightly in their hands.
