In the past six months, Zi Yan's cultivation has not improved much, but the originally lively and active Zi Yan has become more calm recently.
Not only has her food intake greatly increased, but she is also often sleepy. Yao Chen's evaluation of this is that Zi Yan is now accumulating energy, and when the time is right, she will break through to the sixth-level magic beast.
Zi Yan also asked Yao Chen if he knew what race of Magic Beast she was.
However, because it was impossible to observe Zi Yan's true form as a monster, even though Yao Chen had extraordinary knowledge, he was unable to accurately determine Zi Yan's race.
However, through half a year of observation, Yao Chen could still see that Zi Yan's bloodline was definitely extraordinary and was definitely not inferior to the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan among the three major races.
As for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, they are too mysterious and live in the turbulence of the void. Even Yao Chen has never seen a Taixu Ancient Dragon with his own eyes, and knows very little about them, so he is unable to judge whether Zi Yan is related to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
During Xiao Ling's retreat, a piece of news of varying magnitude came out of the Xiao family.
Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, solved his problem of being unable to practice with the help of the sixth-rank alchemist Xiao Ling.
It only took two months to cultivate from the third level of Dou Qi to the ninth level of Dou Qi.
After taking a pill of Qi Gathering Powder that Xiao Ling had left at the Xiao family, he successfully condensed the Dou Qi Cyclone and his cultivation level recovered to the Dou Zhe level.
After another four months of training, not only did his cultivation level break through to the three-star Dou Zhe level, he also became a first-class alchemist.
Although Xiao Yan's cultivation had fallen to the third stage of Dou Qi before, and he had wasted two and a half years of cultivation time, he was able to become a three-star Dou Zhe at the age of fifteen, and was also a first-grade alchemist. In the Jia Ma Empire, he was considered a rare genius.
When talking about Xiao Yan, one will naturally think of his fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, Nalan Yanran.
In the past, the Xiao family was just a declining family in the Jia Ma Empire. Even though Xiao Yan was once extremely talented, no one took their engagement seriously.
Now, with the rapid rise of Xiao Ling, the Xiao family has become a force in the Jia Ma Empire that is not inferior to the three major families. It also maintains good relations with the major families in the imperial capital.
The engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was once again talked about by everyone.
One is the young master of the Yunlan Sect, and the other is the third young master of the Xiao family. Both of them are extremely talented and can be considered a well-matched couple.
After staying in the Jia Ma Empire for half a year, with the identity of the third young master of the Xiao family, his cultivation talent has been restored and his strength has also been significantly improved. With Yao Yue's introduction, Xiao Yan also met many young people from major families in the imperial capital. However, half a year has passed and Xiao Yan has not met Nalan Yanran.
Xiao Yan was very curious about his childhood fiancée.
According to the descriptions of the new friends he had made, Nalan Yanran not only had an excellent talent for cultivation, but was also quite pretty. Many young people in the imperial capital were admirers of Nalan Yanran.
Although Xiao Yan is a time traveler, he has received nine years of compulsory education, has correct values, and advocates free love.
However, if he was really arranged to have a beautiful fiancée, as long as Xiao Yan liked her and their personalities were compatible, he would not refuse.
The Nalan family also wanted to arrange for the two to have more contact, but Nalan Yanran refused on the grounds of cultivation.
…
The Yunlan Sect is the most powerful force in the Jiama Empire. The uninterrupted inheritance from generation to generation has made this ancient sect stand at the top of the Jia Ma Empire.
If it weren't for the sect's rules that prohibit the seizure of the emperor's power, I'm afraid that during the previous changes of imperial dynasties, the Yunlan Sect would have completely controlled the entire Jia Ma Empire.
Although it does not control the entire empire, the Yunlan Sect's status in the Jia Ma Empire is unquestionable.
The Yunlan Sect was built on the Yunlan Mountain, which is only a few dozen miles away from the imperial capital. As it was chosen as the sect's address, Yunlan Mountain must be a Wind And Water Attribute Treasure Land.
Yunlan Mountain is not just an isolated peak. There are many mountains around it, but it is the tallest. Just when the surrounding mountains are bowing to the sky, it suddenly appears like a sword, pointing straight to the blue sky.
As if challenging the sky, the top of the mountain that emerges from the clouds is surrounded by clusters of suspended white clouds like an island.
The top of Yunlan Mountain.
On the steep mountain top shrouded in clouds and mist, a graceful figure is looming in the mist.
The woman was wearing a tight-fitting brocade gown with gold and purple trims. Her three thousand black hair was tied up into the shape of a phoenix's long cry. She exuded an unconcealable nobility. Her face was tranquil and beautiful, like a clear spring in a secluded mountain. While people were in awe of her noble status, they could not help but have some charming thoughts about her.
As the woman was looking at the clouds in front of her in deep thought, the sound of footsteps came from behind her.
The woman turned around and looked at the person who came.
The person who came was a young girl, with a cold and beautiful appearance, and a pretty face like a fairy. She was wearing a moon-white dress, and her delicate body was well-proportioned.
There is a green jade pendant hanging on the delicate earlobe. When it shakes slightly, it makes a crisp jade sound, and suddenly shows a touch of elegance.
Seeing that there seemed to be a trace of sadness on the girl's face, the woman asked in confusion.
"Yanran, didn't you go home yesterday? Why do you seem unhappy? Did you have a conflict with your family?"
When Nalan Yanran heard her teacher's question, she couldn't help but think of the instructions her father and grandfather gave her when she returned home, and her heart couldn't help but feel sad.
"Teacher, you know that I have an engagement, right?"
"Well, I heard you say that, could it be related to this matter?" Yun Yun frowned and asked in confusion. She knew that her apprentice had an engagement, but it seemed that this apprentice had always been resistant to the engagement and rarely mentioned it.
Hearing Yun Yun's question, Nalan Yanran took a deep breath and said, "The person I'm engaged to is Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family."
Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family.
As soon as Nalan Yanran said this, Yun Yun felt as if she had heard this name before. Soon, an idea suddenly came to her mind, and she thought of a piece of information that had been presented to her not long ago.
Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, solved his previous problem of being unable to practice after being treated by Xiao Ling, and also showed extremely strong talent. Not only did it take him only half a year to practice from the third stage of Dou Qi to a three-star Dou Zhe, he also became a first-grade alchemist.
Yun Yun blurted out, "Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, is the cousin of Master Xiao Ling!"
