Dou Po: I didn’t mean to put it on the yandere beauty

Page 166

In the sky, Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Medicine Clan, showed a gentle smile on his old face. He bowed to the densely packed crowd. Then his gaze suddenly passed over the crowd and stopped on Yao Lao. His eyes flickered slightly with a complicated look.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting next to Yao Lao, also sensed Yao Huadan’s gaze. His expression remained unchanged and he looked back at him.

Yao Lao slowly raised his head, looked directly at Yao Huadan, smiled faintly, and bowed, saying, “Meetings, Chief Yaodan.”

“Yao Chen, we were all wrong.”

Yao Dan stared at Yao Lao, then looked at Xiao Yan, and paused for a moment on Xiao Miao who was beside him. This man was very conspicuous, with a frown on his brows. He took a step forward and appeared in the main seat, welcomed by many Yao clan elders.

“Haha, old man Yaodan, are you finally willing to quit this time?”

Just as Yao Dan had just taken his seat, another voice full of vicissitudes of life slowly spread across the sky, and at the same time as this voice came an extremely strong aroma of medicine. Then everyone saw that in the distant sky, there was suddenly a flash of green light. In a few moments, a light green medicine cauldron quickly broke through the air, and on the medicine cauldron, sat an old man in ordinary linen clothes, with a cane in his hand that looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs, and on the cane were hung many jade bottles, which made a tinkling sound when shaken.

“Old Shennong didn’t expect that even this senior would show up.”

Upon seeing this person, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Yao Lao’s eyes. Xiao Yan, who was standing beside him, was stunned at first, and then he seemed to remember something, and his eyes became more solemn. Although the name of this old man Shennong did not sound very famous, he was an extremely old senior in the alchemy world. Even compared with him, Yao Lao could only treat him as a junior. He did not expect that this person who had been missing for many years would appear here.

“It’s worthy of being called a pharmacopoeia”

Xiao Yan licked his lips lightly, his heart suddenly burning. If he could compete with such a person in alchemy, it would make him excited. However, it was still a pity. If Cao Ying could come, he would like to compete with her again. After all, she had defeated him at the alchemy meeting before.

It’s not like he hasn’t competed with Cao Ying in Xingyun Pavilion over the years, and the score was basically fifty-fifty. Now that he has gone to Yaotian Sect, he doesn’t know what his current level is. If there is a chance, he can give it a try. At worst, he can use Xiao Miao to add some spice. He knows clearly how tempting his brother is to those women, and he thinks he will definitely agree.

“Haha, you old guy, you are still alive.” Yaodan also chuckled, but there was no surprise in his expression.

Elder Shennong stood up from the medicine cauldron, waved his sleeves, and put the cauldron away. His vicissitudes of life glanced around, and then stopped at Xiao Yan. He exclaimed in surprise, and then laughed: “I haven’t been out of the mountain for many years. I didn’t expect that there would be a newcomer in Zhongzhou. He is so young, but his soul power has reached the great perfection of the heavenly realm. It’s really surprising.”

“Greetings, Senior Shennong.” Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and under the gazes of so many people, he calmly clasped his fists and said with a smile.

Old man Shennong nodded with a smile, and just as he was about to take a seat, his brows suddenly frowned, and he turned around and looked behind him. There, black clouds suddenly appeared, and finally spread at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it reached the top of the mountain. The black clouds condensed and turned into a middle-aged man in black. With the appearance of this man, a low humming sound suddenly came from between heaven and earth, like the wailing of a soul.

“Hun Xuzi of the Soul Clan came uninvited. I hope Yaodan Clan Chief doesn’t take offense.” The man in black smiled faintly, and his unhurried tone spread through the air.

“Hunxuzi”

“Teacher Hunxuzi knows him?”

Yao Lao’s reaction also made Xiao Yan slightly startled. He looked at the middle-aged man in black in the sky and frowned slightly. It was another person from the Soul Clan. These guys always appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

“Do you remember what I told you about the changes in the Small Dan Pagoda? The man from the Soul Clan who once lurked in the Small Dan Pagoda and finally betrayed and injured his master and escaped.” Yao Lao said in a deep voice, with unspeakable disgust in his voice.

“Is that person Hunxuzi?” Xiao Yan’s heart was shocked and he said in surprise.

“Yes.” Yao Lao nodded slowly, his eyes fixed on Hun Xuzi in the sky, and said in a cold voice: “This guy has a very high status in the Soul Clan. Even Hun Mie Sheng cannot compare to him. I didn’t expect that this time even he was attracted by this pharmacopoeia.”

“Hunxuzi is very important to the Soul Clan. If I am not mistaken, the Soul Palace’s conspiracy to collect so many souls should also be his plan. If we can get rid of him, it will be nothing more than cutting off the Soul Clan’s left and right arms.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, with a hint of coldness flowing in them. He wanted to get rid of the Soul Clan as soon as possible. If he had a chance, he could try to kill this Soul Xuzi.

“But don’t be careless. Hunxuzi has extremely high attainments in alchemy, otherwise he wouldn’t have been noticed by the Small Dan Pagoda’s master and accepted as a disciple. And after so many years of practice, his alchemy skills must have reached an unfathomable level,” Yao Lao said softly.

Xiao Yan nodded. If someone said he was a mediocre person, even a three-year-old child would not believe it. He would certainly not underestimate the enemy.

Chapter 283 Fishing in troubled waters

Xiao Miao looked at Hunxuzi who appeared in the field and his eyes narrowed slightly. He thought that he was also a great assistant of Hunzhuo. If there was a chance, he could eliminate him secretly after the pharmacopoeia was finished.

As if sensing Xiao Miao’s undisguised murderous intent, Hunxuzi also looked over there. After seeing his appearance, surprise flashed in his eyes. However, after thinking about it in his mind, he did not realize that he had ever offended the person in front of him. But after realizing that the person’s strength was only that of a three-star Douluo, he just sneered. With such strength, even if someone had murderous intentions towards him, what could he do to him?

However, a chill flashed through his mind. If anyone dared to show murderous intent towards him, he would naturally not let him go.

“Why is this guy Hun Xuzi here? Our Medicine Clan didn’t invite him.”

“Humph, the Soul Clan has been capturing souls for many years, and even resorted to all means to attack alchemists and take their souls. This must have been due to Hunxuzi’s instructions.”

“We cannot allow such people to participate in my Medicine Clan’s grand ceremony!”

As soon as Hun Xuzi showed up, he immediately attracted fierce reactions from many Medicine Clan elders. Angry eyes were directed at the former, and sharp shouts could be heard endlessly.

The chief of the Yaodan clan, who was sitting at the first place, looked at the elder Wanhuo beside him and found that they were both frowning. Obviously, the uninvited Hunxuzi was a little beyond their expectations. The Yao clan had always kept a considerable distance from the Soul clan. This ancient race was much older than them. For thousands of years, no matter how other ancient races changed, only the Soul clan still maintained its mystery and weirdness. The terrifying strength they occasionally displayed made people have to be extremely wary.

In addition, due to the mysterious disappearance of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan in recent years, the three ancient clans, the Medicine Clan, the Thunder Clan, and the Flame Clan, have also become wary of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. So when they saw Hunxuzi coming uninvited, they were a little unhappy, but fortunately they were also aware of the current situation, so at least they still kept the smile of being the hosts on their faces.

“Haha, it seems that my friends from the Medicine Clan don’t seem to welcome me very much. This is somewhat contrary to the hospitality of the Medicine Clan.” In the sky, Hunxuzi put his hands behind his back, looked directly at Yaodan, and smiled faintly.

“Hun Xuzi, we, the Medicine Clan, did not invite you, and the relationship between the Hun Clan and the Ancient Clan, and the other ancient races, is not the same as it used to be. These actions of yours may deepen our Yao Clan’s hatred of the Hun Clan. Doubtful.” Elder Wanhuo said in a deep voice.

“It is precisely because I am not afraid that your suspicion will deepen that I came here today.” Hunxuzi smiled and said, “This pharmacopoeia is known as the highest-level alchemist conference in Douqi Continent. Haha, I am slightly interested in the title of the continent’s number one alchemist. If Elder Wanhuo is qualified to give me this title, I can leave now.”

“Insanity!”

Hun Xuzi’s words immediately caused some of the elders of the Medicine Clan to yell angrily.

“Haha, the title of the continent’s number one alchemist, my Yao clan is not qualified to award it to anyone at will. The only thing you can rely on for this title is your own alchemy skills.” Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, “Since you are so keen on the title of the continent’s number one alchemist, then stay. My Yao clan is not a clan that treats guests lightly. As long as you can abide by my Yao clan’s rules, you are a guest of the Yao clan. Otherwise, even if you are the chief alchemist of the Soul clan, perhaps I will have to help you stay here.”

At the end of his words, a fierce and murderous look flashed across Yao Dan’s old face. The majesty of a clan leader made people secretly awe-inspiring.

“Patriarch, is this inappropriate?”

Seeing that Yaodan actually allowed Hunxuzi to stay, the elders of the Medicine Clan around were suddenly shocked. Elder Wanhuo hesitated for a moment and spoke.

“The Pharmacopoeia is the most grand event in our Medicine Clan. In front of so many people, we can’t expel people without reason. That would make people think that our Medicine Clan is arrogant. Although the Soul Clan needs to be on guard, but today’s medicine world is so With so many people gathered here, are you still afraid of someone who dares to mess around?” Yao Dan waved his hand and said calmly: “I will keep a close eye on him later. If there is anything wrong with him, I will personally take action to deal with it. Capture and kill him!”

Seeing Yaodan insisting, everyone could only nod.

“The Yaodan clan leader is still very generous.” Hunxuzi chuckled, his lips slightly raised, a strange smile quickly flashed across his eyes, and then he moved, and appeared directly on a stone chair under the gazes of many people. This position was just not far from Xiao Miao, and they also looked at Xiao Miao in the distance with cold eyes. Feeling this cold and powerful aura, many maids around him even turned pale.

“Yao Chen, you have accepted a good disciple. Even though I am in the Soul Realm, your name as a disciple is still as famous as thunder.”

Sitting down on the stone chair, Hunxuzi then turned his gaze and looked at Yao Lao, with a strange smile on his lips, and said.

“Who can compare with the reputation that thunders in the ears of the people, the Hunxuzi who betrayed his teacher and destroyed his ancestors?”

Yao Lao smiled and shook his head, his words still being unforgiving.

“Well, I was born into the Soul Clan and have the blood of the Soul Clan. The matter of destroying my ancestors cannot be blamed on me. As for bullying my teacher, haha, I didn’t recognize that old ghost as my teacher.”

In response to Yao Lao’s sarcastic words, Hunxuzi shook his head seemingly seriously, with a dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Xiao Miao didn’t hesitate at all. He waved his fingers casually, and ice spikes instantly appeared around him and moved towards him.

“Humph.”

The sudden attack made even Hunxuzi stunned for a moment. He seemed to have not expected that the person next to him would be so ferocious. He ordered his men to attack without saying a word. However, he was not an ordinary person. He snorted coldly, and the space around him twisted. His figure disappeared mysteriously. When he appeared again, he was already on a stone chair in the distance.

“boom!”

This blow directly blew the stone table and chairs into powder, and even the ice crystals began to spread around, but it was only limited to the size of the table and then stopped.

Xiao Yan, who was standing by, held the jade cup in his hand and watched this scene with a smile on his face. He took a sip and then said with a smile, “Those who betray their master are really hated by everyone.”

“Haha, good boy, who are you? Tell me your name.”

On the stone chair in the distance, Hunxuzi glanced at Xiao Yan with a cold gaze, and then stared closely at Xiao Miao who was not far away. This aura was not concealed at all and was obviously directed at him. He did not expect that this person would be so efficient when he started to attack. It seemed that he was really treated as a soft orange and could be squeezed at will.

At this time, Hunxuzi began to emit a terrifying aura, as if he was going to attack him in the next moment. However, facing this scene, Xiao Miao did not say anything strange. He raised the jade cup in his hand and savored the tea in it carefully.

But this scene made Hunxuzi’s heart burn with anger, and the space around him began to slowly distort.

“Hunxuzi, today is the grand ceremony of my medicine clan. No action is allowed. Anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the medicine world.”

Yao Dan, who had been sitting in the first place and ignored the fight between the two, raised his head at this time and said calmly.

“Haha, since the leader of the Yaodan clan has spoken, of course he has to obey.”

Hearing this, the grim smile on Hunxuzi’s face condensed slightly, and then expanded. However, the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense. This old ghost did not speak when he attacked, but came out to show fairness when he wanted to fight back. It was obvious that he wanted to cut him in front of these people.

“What a great medicine clan.”

Hunxuzi sneered in his heart, and his eyes became more and more weird.

Yao Dan did not pay attention to Hun Xuzi’s expression. His eyes slowly swept around. When they passed over Xiao Miao, he paused for a moment. Then, a calm voice slowly spread out, like a muffled thunder, resounding between heaven and earth.

“The time has come for the Pharmacopoeia to begin!”

The Yao Clan, which started with alchemy refining, owns the largest group of alchemists on the mainland. Although the Yao Clan will have some arrogance in their hearts when facing the alchemists from Zhongzhou, it has to be said that this arrogance, Backed by capital.

Perhaps because of their bloodline, the members of the Medicine Clan are particularly adept at practicing alchemy, and there is no shortage of people with outstanding natural talents in the clan. Therefore, those alchemy masters who are famous in Zhongzhou are not to be found in large numbers in the Medicine Clan, but they are at least common. With such capital, it is inevitable that they feel proud when compared with other alchemists.

Of course, this only refers to the middle level of the alchemist class. The medicine clan has not gained much advantage compared to other places in the real part of the alchemist pyramid. After all, although the power of blood allows them to be adept at alchemy, it is impossible for them to reach the top of the alchemy world by relying on it alone. Sometimes, even this kind of talent will become an obstacle for them to move to the top level.

This may be regarded as a slight drawback of the power of blood.

Alchemists are divided into grades one to nine, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest. And grade nine alchemist masters are divided into three levels: treasure elixir master, mysterious elixir master, and golden elixir master!

Today, Xiao Yan, when he last refined the ninth-grade precious pill, was already at the level of a precious pill master. Of course, this had not been verified by any organization. At this level, no single force could verify their level anymore, because they were the top people in the alchemy world.

Xuandan Grandmaster is basically the top existence in the medicine refining world on this continent, and there are only a handful of them. As for Jindan Grandmaster, no one has been able to reach it for nearly a thousand years, because no one has been able to refine the ninth-grade Jindan.

The Golden Elixir Grandmaster is above, and he is the legendary emperor. The emperor is the ultimate, and no one can reach it.

For most of the people present, the foreplay of the Pharmacopoeia made them watch it with great interest. The younger generation among the medicine clan indeed has talents that ordinary alchemists covet. The person who takes the stage is They are all at least at the level of sixth-grade alchemist or higher, and the cauldrons rising at the moment are particularly spectacular.

Of course, for a few people, this level of alchemy was like a group of adults watching children fighting. There was no place to watch, so when the whole square was filled with the birth of the elixir, they could only close their eyes and rest.

This foreplay in the Pharmacopoeia lasted for several days and then gradually came to an end. Fortunately, the people here were not ordinary people. For several days, many people did not even move their bodies.

When the foreplay of the pharmacopoeia came to an end, Xiao Yan’s eyes slowly opened, and he looked at the young people of the Medicine Clan and nodded slightly. After observing for the past few days, he could see the strength of the Medicine Clan. Many of the young people possessed extremely high talents. If they were lucky enough in the future, they would be able to have a place in the alchemy world. With such excellent fresh blood, the Medicine Clan could continue to thrive. Of course, this naturally had its limits. With the passage of time, if there were no more Dou Di powerhouses in the Medicine Clan, then their bloodline power would gradually dry up like the Xiao Clan. At that time, the Medicine Clan might be no different from ordinary humans.

Of course, although that time will come, it is still quite a long time ago after all. Thinking about it now is a bit unfounded.

During these few days of observation, Xiao Yan also saw some familiar figures. Yao Xingji, who had given Xiao Yan an invitation letter to the Pharmacopoeia, was also discovered by him. After several years of practice, the latter’s alchemy skills have made great progress. This time, he was among the top five in the Pharmacopoeia Conference, which is a good result. As for the first place, it was not unexpectedly won by the man named Yao Tian who Xiao Yan met outside the Demon Fire Space. He should be the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Medicine Clan. The pills he refined actually attracted the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, which overwhelmed the others. Even some elders of the Medicine Clan were grinning from ear to ear.

However, when their eyes accidentally caught sight of Xiao Yan who was resting with his eyes closed beside Yao Lao, the smug smiles that had just risen up on their faces suddenly disappeared, and soon turned into depression. They had heard rumors a long time ago that Xiao Yan was already able to refine ninth-grade elixirs, but the elixir thunder he attracted was the more powerful black magic thunder. In comparison, Yao Tian’s nine-colored elixir thunder seemed a lot dimmer.

At the moment when the test of the younger generation of the Medicine Clan was completed, the atmosphere in the square not only did not calm down, but suddenly became fiery. One after another, almost scalding eyes, jumped across the field, and finally everyone Throwing themselves on those stone chairs, they understood that the highlight of the Pharmacopoeia was these big names who stood at the pinnacle of the medicine refining world.

“Haha, it’s finally started.” At this moment, Yao Lao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the sudden warming of the venue, and smiled.

Xiao Yan also smiled slightly and gently rubbed the jade cup with his palm. After watching this for several days, he unconsciously felt a little itchy.

“Besides you, the final highlight should be Hunxuzi, old man Shennong and elder Wanhuo. These three are no pushovers. In terms of seniority, even I am far inferior to them.” said Yao Lao.

“Why don’t you use the medicinal pill?” Xiao Yan glanced at the medicinal pill on his hand and said.

“As the head of the clan, he naturally has some pride.” Yao Lao smiled, and then said solemnly: “But his alchemy skills are not weaker than any of you four.”

“Chief of the Medicine Clan, as the leader of the largest group of alchemists on the Douqi Continent, you won’t be able to convince others if you don’t have some skills.” Xiao Yan said with a smile. He naturally understood this principle. No matter how arrogant he was, he probably wouldn’t be so careless as to underestimate a terrifying strong man who had reached the level of a seven-star Dou Sheng. After all, he was not a monster like Xiao Miao, whose cultivation speed was simply terrifying.

While Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were talking in low voices, Yao Dan, who was sitting in the first place, slowly stood up. At this moment, the eyes of the whole audience were focused on him.

“Haha, after the appetizers, it’s time for the main event. I understand what you all think.” Facing the gaze of the audience, Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, “There are a total of four people competing in this Pharmacopoeia Conference. Even if I don’t say much about these four people, you should all know that the final winner will take away the title of the continent’s number one alchemist. I think that whoever can win here and get this title should not be dissatisfied or object.”
