Chapter 170 Nalan Yanran
"Look! There's a crack in the sky! Another Dou Zun has come to Shengdan City!"
The sudden appearance of the space crack attracted the attention of many people in Shengdan City, but most of them just looked up and looked away, as if it was just an ordinary Dou Huang.
It's not that the people in Shengdan City are strong enough to ignore Dou Zun, but these days, after Medicine Master made pills and auctioned off the Fire Return Pill, more and more Dou Zun came to Shengdan City, hoping to get a pill.
Therefore, they thought that Xiao Yun's performance of tearing the space was just a strange Dou Zun who wanted to get another pill.
But soon, someone discovered that it was not a strange Dou Zun who appeared in the sky, but the second most popular alchemist in Shengdan City, Xiao Yun!
"It's Master Xiao! I didn't expect that Master Xiao is not only an eighth-grade alchemy master, but also has reached the Dou Zun realm! He is really good
at both literature and martial arts!" "An eighth-grade alchemy master and Dou Zun cultivation at the age of less than 20! And I heard that he is the youngest elder of Danta! He is simply an existence that crushes all geniuses
in Zhongzhou!" As Xiao Yun's Dou Zun aura was released unscrupulously over the sky of Shengdan City, more and more people noticed his high-profile behavior. Soon, Yao Lao and the three giants of Danta flew out of the black Tongtian Tower.
"Yao Lao, three presidents." Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Yun walked in front of Yao Lao and others.
"Haha! Good boy, judging from your aura, you should have successfully swallowed the Three Thousand Flames!" Yao Lao spoke first, feeling Xiao Yun's three-star Dou Zun aura, and smiled with great relief.
"Yao Lao, you are not bad either, your strength has returned to the peak of Dou Zun again." Xiao Yun smiled slightly. In his perception, he was surprised to find that Yao Lao's aura was almost the same as Xuan Kongzi and others, and he had obviously returned to the peak of strength.
"It is thanks to your elixir that this old guy's strength can be restored." Xuan Yi said with a smile.
"After you entered the star field, Yao Chen refined an eighth-grade nine-color elixir, named Huo Huan Dan. According to him, you got this elixir recipe from a semi-saint relic, right?" Xuan Kongzi took over the conversation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and slowly said:
"Yao Chen took this elixir and exchanged it with an old immortal at the peak Dou Zun for a rare item to restore his strength. With this rare item, his strength can return to the peak Dou Zun."
Xiao Yun heard it and nodded. So that's how it is. In exchange for such a rare item, Yao Lao made a profit.
"Let's go back to the Dan Tower first. There are many people here. A lot of things have happened during the time you entered the star field." The majestic and steady Tian Leizi glanced down and waved to everyone. Five figures flew straight to the Tongtian Giant Tower under the gaze of countless people in Shengdan City.
…
In the familiar study room again, after Xiao Yun and the others sat in their respective seats, he looked around and found that Tianhuo Zun and Xiao Yixian had not arrived. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where are Xian'er and Huo Lao? Why don't I see them?"
Just now, his aura permeated the entire Shengdan City. The two people in Dan Tower should not have sensed it.
Yao Lao heard this and smiled slightly, saying: "A few days ago, the old guy Xuan Kongzi insisted on challenging me to make pills, so the two of us each made a Zunyi Pill. After the competition, we gave it to Xian'er and Huo Lao to take. It depends on the time. In a few days, they will be able to digest the medicinal power and break through the barrier."
Xiao Yun nodded, and did not ask questions like who won. After all, judging from the silence, it was obvious that Xuan Kongzi lost again.
"Ahem, Xiao Yun." Xuan Yi on the side noticed that the atmosphere was a bit weird, he glanced at Yao Lao fiercely, then said with a smile: "Xiao Yun, when Yao Chen finished refining the Fire Returning Pill, our Danta wanted to trade this recipe, but this old guy said that the recipe is yours, and without your permission, he is not qualified to make a decision."
"So we have been waiting for you. Now that you are out, are you willing to trade with our Danta? For a roll of eighth-grade top-level recipe, our Danta is willing to exchange it for two items of equal value."
Hearing Xuan Yi's words, Xiao Yun looked at Yao Lao in surprise, then shifted his gaze back, waved his hand, took out the recipe of the Fire Returning Pill from the ring, and said with a smile:
"Aunt Xuan, what you said is, as an elder of Danta, I am also considered a part of Danta, I am willing to give you this recipe directly. If you have to talk about compensation, it would be the Three Thousand Flames of Inferno and those alchemy books."
After that, he handed the recipe scroll to Xuan Yi in front of him.
"This..." A trace of relief flashed in Xuan Yi's eyes. He pushed the pill formula back and said with a smile: "Xiao Yun, you are thoughtful, but you subdued the Three Thousand Flames of Flame to solve a big problem for Danta. How can it be regarded as a reward?"
"Not bad!" Tian Leizi also nodded, and said in a low voice: "It's good that you have this intention, but Danta is not the kind of place without bottom line. It will not ask the elders
of the sect to hand over treasures! The greater the contribution, the more rewards you get!" "A volume of pill formula related to breaking through the semi-saint, I think its value is enough to be compared to some ninth-grade pills!"
"Yeah!" The other two also nodded, and then, Xuan Kongzi, who was the leader, walked up with a smile and said: "Since you don't want a reward, then let you go to Danta's library for two days! How about it?"
Xiao Yun nodded when he heard it, and he didn't care about this library or that library. Anyway, he wanted to hand over this volume of pill formula to Danta to see if they could help study it and launch new pills.
So, he repeated what he had said to Yao Lao to the three leaders of Danta.
After listening to Xiao Yun's ideas, Xuan Kongzi and the others nodded again and again, and said that when they deduced the new pill formula, they would definitely send it directly to Xingyun Pavilion. After
chatting for a few more words, Yao Lao seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Xiao Yun, people from Hua Zong came to see you, and there is a little girl among them, claiming to be your cousin."
"Cousin?" Hearing this, Xiao Yun was a little surprised. When did someone from the Xiao family come to Zhongzhou?
"What's her name?"
"It seems to be something, Nalan something?" Yao Lao supported his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't say it. He looked at Xuan Kongzi and the others for help, but he couldn't remember the name either.
After all, for them, if this kind of little person had no relationship with Xiao Yun, they would not take it to heart at all.
"Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Yun took over the conversation and said hesitantly.
"Yes, that's right, that's what the people of Huazong called her at that time!" Yao Lao clapped his hands. After being reminded by Xiao Yun, he finally remembered.
"..." Xiao Yun shook his head helplessly. He really thought that some capable person from the Xiao family had come to Zhongzhou, but it turned out to be this little girl Nalan Yanran.
Strictly speaking, Nalan Yanran can indeed be regarded as his cousin. After all, the Xiao family and the Nalan family have had a marriage relationship for generations, which was not broken until Xiao Yun's generation. If the protagonist of this generation's marriage was not chosen well, the Xiao family and the Nalan family could continue to marry.
But this cousin is really a relationship that has nothing to do with him. Xiao Yun has lived for nearly twenty years and has never even seen her once.
"When did they come?"
"People from Huazong came when Yaochen was refining medicine, but you were still in the star field at that time, so we let them wait in Dan Tower."
"They should still be in Dan Tower now. Do you want to go down and take a look?" Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yun with a smile and said.
"Okay, let's see what they want." Xiao Yun nodded slightly and stood up from his chair. He was really curious. Why did this little girl Nalan Yanran come to Zhongzhou? Could it be that Yun Yun brought her here?
...
Below Dan Tower, two beautiful figures, led by the guards, came to the reception room and sat on the chairs.
"You two, Elder Xiao will be down soon. Please wait a moment." After saying that, the guards directly left the reception room.
After the guards left, a woman who looked older said, "Yanran, when Master Xiao comes down, it's up to you! You must invite him to our Hua Sect to heal Granny Hua!"
Facing the sincere request of the older woman, Nalan Yanran's beautiful face showed a trace of imperceptible bitterness, and she slowly nodded in agreement.
Depend on me! If I had known earlier, I would not have said that I was Xiao Yun's cousin, and I would have run into such a thing.
Nalan Yanran sighed lightly in her heart, thinking secretly.
When she broke off the engagement with the Xiao family, no one said anything about her at first, but as Xiao Yun and the Xiao family became more and more powerful, and even after he saved the Yunlan Sect, more and more people gossiped about her.
They laughed at her for being pretentious. If she had not broken off the engagement, she might have been a member of the Xiao family now. Even her Nalan family began to talk about her. Her grandfather Nalan Jie fainted in anger, and was cured by the Xiao family's elixir.
This kind of talk continued, and reached its peak when the news of Xiao Yan's breakthrough to the third-grade alchemist came! Although the sixteen-year-old third-grade alchemist was not as good as Xiao Yun, he was considered a top genius in the remote area of the Jia Ma Empire and even in the northwest continent.
Therefore, under the huge pressure of ridicule, Nalan Yanran had the idea of running away from home. It happened that Yun Yun was also leaving the Jia Ma Empire at that time. The master and apprentice dared to think and do it. Neither of them had the strength of a Dou Zong, so they ran directly to the Zhongzhou Continent.
After arriving in Zhongzhou, they were very lucky to land in a city in the North Territory, Tianhua City.
This is the territory of the Hua Sect. Thanks to the fact that this sect is not competitive with the world, the two people with outstanding looks but weak strength, after living in Tianhua City for a few days, Yun Yun took Nalan Yanran to join the Hua Sect.
Although the Hua Sect is generally not competitive with the world, a small number of people will still occupy their own mountains and compete for resources.
The master and apprentice who first joined the Hua Sect were often bullied by others. At first, Yun Yun always protected her, but when Yun Yun was practicing in seclusion, Nalan Yanran was bullied by several Dou Ling-level Hua Sect disciples.
After Nalan Yanran was beaten and got angry, the rumor that Xiao Yun could refine the eighth-grade elixir was spread to Huazong. In a hurry, she actually said that Xiao Yun was her cousin! Let Huazong disciples be careful!
No one believed this at first, but the high-level officials of Huazong could not help but search for the news. After checking, they found that Yun Yun and his apprentice really had some relationship with Xiao Yun, at least they were from the same northwest continent!
With the principle of believing it is better to believe it than not, the high-level officials of Huazong immediately upgraded the treatment of Yun Yun and his apprentice by several levels, and let them live with an old woman.
And this old woman is the target person of this time, Grandma Hua!
Grandma Hua fought with a powerful enemy in her early years. Although she killed the powerful enemy, she also fell ill, her legs were paralyzed, and she was seriously injured. She will not live long.
After learning that Xiao Yun successfully advanced to the eighth-grade alchemy master in Danta, the Hua Zong leaders asked Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yun's "cousin", to go to Danta to invite Xiao Yun to Hua Zong to treat Granny Hua's injuries.
Therefore, Nalan Yanran followed a Hua Zong elder to Danta.
Nalan Yanran was reminiscing when she suddenly heard the door being pushed open. She looked up and saw a handsome young man in a green shirt slowly walking in.
"Xiao Yun...cousin?"
