Chapter 322: Xiao Yan's Determination
"These medicinal pills, keep them and use them to develop the Xiao family," said Xiao Ze, handing over another batch of medicinal pills to the three people to manage. With Xiao Ze's level of mastery in alchemy, preparing a batch of pills like this didn't take much time or effort, as he made them in his spare moments. These pills at this level had no effect on him, but using them for the Xiao family could significantly improve the strength of many people.
After checking the pills, Xiao Zhan and the other two felt a chill inside; they were even better than the pills Xiao Yan had given them. However, they said nothing, as being all family, there was no need to compare these things.
"Ze'er, stay with the family today and let's celebrate," said Xiao Zhan, looking at Xiao Ze with expectant eyes.
"Alright," Xiao Ze responded, nodding. "Send a message to the third brother, see if he's done, and tell him to come back and join us today."
"You're right," Xiao Zhan laughed, and then sent someone to prepare the celebration feast. The Xiao family rarely had such a joyful event.
"Ze'er, come here for a moment," said Xiao Zhan, glancing at Xiao Yi Xian and the others, while taking Xiao Ze aside and speaking in a low voice.
"Ze'er, who among the three is your chosen one? And what about Xun'er?"
Xiao Ze, initially confused as to why Xiao Zhan had taken him aside, couldn't help but glance sideways at Medusa and the others upon hearing these words. The three sat with straight posture, as if they hadn't heard anything. But Xiao Ze knew well that with their abilities, they could not only hear this conversation but anything happening within the entire Xiao family.
"Uh, uh," Xiao Ze coughed lightly, scratching his head, feeling he was in an awkward situation. "Well... I have my own plans."
Xiao Ze gestured to Xiao Zhan with his eyes. Xiao Zhan was momentarily surprised, then looked at Medusa and the others, seeing they showed no particular expression. Although he knew Xiao Ze wouldn't say anything without reason, he coughed and said, "I'll go supervise the preparations for the feast; this is a big event for the Xiao family."
With this, only Xiao Ze, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others were left in the room.
When Xiao Zhan left, the three women turned their attention to Xiao Ze. Cleverly, Xiao Ze did not continue with the previous topic and instead started another one.
"Xiao Yi Xian, once all this is over, I will organize the poisonous energy within your body and turn it into a seal, removing any future worries about the Toxic Physique."
Seeing Xiao Ze change the subject, the three women sighed with relief internally, knowing that none of them could compete with Xun'er if they forced Xiao Ze to answer.
"Really? Can you completely eliminate the problems of the Poison Physique?" asked Xiao Yi Xian, full of surprise.
"Of course," said Xiao Ze confidently. "These years I've deepened my research on the Poison Physique. If you cooperate with me, we'll completely solve the problems of your Poison Physique."
Xiao Ze nodded assuredly. Over the years, he had perfected his use of the Poison Physique, and he believed he could achieve what others before him could not.
"Not only that, but with this consolidation, you could also significantly increase your power," he added.
A joyful smile appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face. Although Xiao Ze and the others hadn't said it clearly, she could feel that all three of them had reached the Dou Zun level, and she didn't want to be left behind. If Xiao Ze said her power would increase significantly, then she could probably reach the Dou Zun level. With the consolidation of the Poison Physique and reaching the Dou Zun level, Xiao Yi Xian had the confidence to match Medusa and Qing Lin.
About two hours passed. While chatting with the three women, Xiao Ze suddenly looked up and smiled.
"My third brother has also returned."
He had barely finished speaking when a loud, carefree laugh was heard.
"Little brother, long time no see, I've missed you."
Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, strode in. He quickly glanced at the three women and then turned his attention to Xiao Ze, unable to discern his true power.
Xiao Ze, on the other hand, could immediately see Xiao Yan's current strength. A peak Dou Huang. Quite impressive, considering Xiao Yan was only twenty-two years old. In the original story, when Xiao Yan went to the central region of the continent at twenty-four, he was barely a seven-star Dou Huang. Now, with two years in advance and in a less favorable region, his power was even greater, showing the tremendous effort he had put in.
After a while of catching up, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, determined to ask, "Little brother, can you tell me your cultivation level now?"
Xiao Yan saw Xiao Ze as his goal, so he wanted to know more than anyone the true power level of Xiao Ze. He had tried asking Yao Lao, but Yao Lao couldn't discern Xiao Ze's true power either. Xiao Yan thought it was because Yao Lao's spiritual strength had diminished.
"I'm now a five-star Dou Zun," said Xiao Ze casually, with nothing to hide.
He had reached this level a while ago and was progressing well. With the preparation of a high-level pill, he could attempt to advance to the six-star level.
"Five-star Dou Zun!" exclaimed Xiao Yan, surprised, his face stiffening.
Even Yao Lao was stunned upon hearing this. If he wasn't mistaken, Xiao Ze was a year younger than Xiao Yan, which meant he was twenty-one years old, a five-star Dou Zun at twenty-one! In the entire central region of the continent, there was no such extraordinary monster.
Yao Lao, having reached the Dou Zun level in his time, knew how difficult it was to advance at that level. Xiao Ze's situation defied all logic; it seemed that the further he progressed, the faster he advanced.
"No wonder I couldn't see his true power," murmured Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan, after recovering, showed even greater determination. Over the years, his will had strengthened, and now, knowing Xiao Ze's true power, he only felt a burning desire to surpass himself.
"Little brother, is the central region of the continent really that incredible?" asked Xiao Yan.
"Of course, compared to the northwest, the central region has much stronger resources and foundation. There, even true Dou Sheng exist," replied Xiao Ze, igniting Xiao Yan's longing for the central region. Xiao Yan couldn't help but say,
"When we finish with the matters of the Yun Lan sect, I'll also go explore the central region."
