Imperial capital, Gama royal family, imperial garden.

Jia Xingtian circled around Xiao Yuan, looking him up and down, his eyes full of confusion.

Yao Ye on the side also stared at Xiao Yuan. This boy who was a few years younger than her had now become a super powerful man that even her great-grandfather had to be polite to.

"How come your strength suddenly skyrocketed to the peak of a four-star Douhuang?"

Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yuan in confusion. When Xiao Yuan dealt with Yunshan before, he was only at the peak of Dou Wang. How come his strength soared so much in just a few days?
Fa Ma on the side finally reacted, looked at him carefully, and there was a hint of numbness in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yuan.

There's nothing strange about it. This kid's alchemy skills have reached the sixth level in just over a year. It's not impossible for him to advance four levels in those few days!

When did cultivation become so easy???

Fa Ma felt that he had lived in vain for so many years.

"It's just luck."

Xiao Yuan couldn't say that he had killed a Dou Zong master and turned the other party's lifelong fighting spirit into his own strength, so he could only say it vaguely.

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma looked at each other and both saw what was in each other's eyes: they couldn't beat this kid even if they joined forces, and today they had to make him know why the flowers were so red.

Back then, they didn't know how much time it took them to advance to one star, but Xiao Yuan's advancement was like taking off, and he went up in a flash, making these old guys really envious and jealous.

"Tell me, old man Pharaoh, what exactly are you doing here bringing friend Xiao Yuan to my royal family?"

Jia Xingtian suppressed the jealousy in his heart and asked calmly.

"Of course I'm here for your royal family's dark sea dragon beast."

Fa Ma said with a smile upon hearing this.

Xiao Yuan on the side calmly took out the sixth-grade alchemist robe from the storage ring and put it on.

What Fa Ma meant was that he should come wearing it.

But there were quite a few people along the way. The title of sixth-grade alchemist was good, but if he walked on the street, he would definitely be regarded as a rare species, so Xiao Yuan put away his robe in advance.

Now that the time has come to show off in public, it is natural that you should put it on.

"Sixth-rank alchemist!?"

Even with Xingtian's great concentration, he couldn't help but shout out, and his voice broke.

Yao Ye on the side also widened his eyes, his red lips slightly parted, his face full of disbelief.

"Old Pharaoh, Little Friend Xiao Yuan, you guys are not here to make fun of me, are you?"

After a moment, Jia Xingtian shook his head, still unable to believe that Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills were so powerful.

"Haha, old man Jia, do you think I would use this kind of thing to make you happy?" Fa Ma smiled, and then continued, "Little friend Xiao Yuan's soul power is stronger than mine, and his attainments in alchemy are also good. He can refine the Huangji Pill in one go. It shouldn't be difficult to refine the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill you need!"

"I remember that you didn't seem to know how to make medicine before, and you don't have fire-attributed fighting spirit, right?"

Jia Xingtian frowned and asked in confusion.

"Don't worry too much about this, Master Jia. Just know that I can refine this elixir. I will refine the elixir here later. I will trouble Master Jia to protect me by my side."

Xiao Yuan would not explain so much to Jia Xingtian. He came here to save face for the royal family. Firstly, it was for the medicinal materials; secondly, it was to allow the royal family to take better care of the Xiao family after he left.

Although the Xiao family now has the support of Hai Bodong and the Mitel family, and even Yun Yun will secretly take care of them, if the royal family, the nominal ruling class of the Gama Empire, takes care of them, then the development of the Xiao family will undoubtedly become faster.

"Yaoye, go get the herbs for Mr. Xiao Yuanxiao. Bring five portions first."

Jia Xingtian waved his hand and Yao Ye took the order and left.

Then, Jia Xingtian seemed to notice that Xiao Yuan looked a little strange, and he quickly explained: "It's not that I don't trust Mr. Xiao Yuan. No matter how many Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pills Mr. Xiao Yuan can refine, the royal family will only take one of these five herbs. The remaining herbs will be considered as part of the thank you gift."

"You are too polite, Mr. Jia. I will leave two of these pills for you. In addition, I also hope to buy some precious medicinal materials from the royal family. I hope you can help me."

Xiao Yuan did not point out Jia Xingtian and spoke confidently.

"No problem. If Mr. Xiao Yuan is really willing to leave two pills for my royal family, you can pick any of the medicinal herbs the royal family has treasured over the years. You don't have to pay for them. Just consider it as my investment in your genius."

Jia Xingtian waved his hand and said cheerfully.

Over the past year, the Xiao family has developed rapidly, but there is no sign of dominating the Gama Empire. Instead, a large part of their industries are still arranged along the Wutan City. They have always maintained an equal attitude towards the royal family, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient. Originally, the royal family had some complaints about this, but after seeing Xiao Yuan defeat two Dou Zongs alone, no one had any objections.

As long as the Xiao family does not intend to change the Gama Empire, the royal family will only strongly support the development of the Xiao family.

Under the influence of Xiao Yuan, the Mittel family has now begun to expand its influence, but not within the Gama Empire. Instead, it has begun to try to radiate its industries to the surrounding empires.

Except for the Izumo Empire, which has a large number of neurovirologists and thus has difficulty developing industries, the Mittel family's industries in other surrounding empires are now basically developing steadily.

The royal family was naturally happy to see this situation. As long as the two families did not target them, everyone could make money in harmony.

"Then thank you for your generosity, Mr. Jia."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and cupped his hands.

A moment later, Yao Ye returned and put a storage ring into Xiao Yuan's hand.

Nodding to Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma and Yao Ye, Xiao Yuan waved his hand and the Black Demon Cauldron was summoned out. With a flick of his finger, a blue-brown flame flashed out and finally drilled into the medicine cauldron.

As the blue-brown flames rose, the temperature here also gradually increased, and soon Yao Yexiang, the weakest among the three, began to sweat profusely.

Wow!
Xiao Yuan waved his hand again, and a group of medicinal herbs flew out of the ring and fell into the Black Demon Cauldron.

On the way here, Xiao Yuan had studied the recipe of the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill. It was quite difficult, but Xiao Yuan was confident about it.

Looking at Xiao Yuan's smooth process of refining medicine, Fa Ma nodded frequently. Although it can be seen that Xiao Yuan's technique does not look like that of a veteran who has been immersed in it for decades, he is very neat and tidy without any drag. His talent is so strong that it can be seen with the naked eye.

In front of the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yuan's face was solemn, his eyes were fixed on the prototype of the pill slowly rotating in the blue-brown flame in the medicine cauldron, and his powerful soul power controlled the fluctuation of temperature, always stabilizing it at a constant temperature. With this slow fire steaming, about half an hour later, a strong medicinal fragrance gradually rose from it, and subtle energy fluctuations came out of the medicine cauldron, and finally hit the inner wall of the medicine cauldron heavily, bringing out a low bell sound.
Smelling the increasingly strong medicinal fragrance coming from the medicine cauldron, after a while, Xiao Yuan's expression condensed, and the lid of the medicine cauldron fell off automatically. The round green pill inside flew out of it and was finally accurately grasped in Xiao Yuan's hand.

Feeling the faint residual warmth of the pill in his hand, Xiao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Hunyuan Bone-shaping Pill was not a top-grade sixth-grade pill, it was still a genuine sixth-grade pill after all. To refine a pill of this grade, even with the help of the strange fire, Xiao Yuan still had a certain failure rate. Fortunately, with the secret guidance of Yao Lao, he was able to refine the pill without any danger in one go.

But this is not the end yet. He casually put the Hunyuan Bone-shaping Pill into a jade bottle and threw it to Jia Xingtian. After attracting a round of eye rolls, Xiao Yuan stretched lazily, shook his body, and started to refine the pill again.

In the following day, Xiao Yuan used up all the remaining five medicinal materials and refined four Hunyuan Bone-shaping Pills.

This success rate amazed Fa Ma, who exclaimed that Xiao Yuan's talent was truly enchanting.

Jia Xingtian finally understood how terrifying Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills were now, and he became more serious.

It is impossible for Xiao Yuan to be lured into the royal family, but he must at least become the royal family's eternal friend!

Even if Xiao Yuan had concealed something in the past, he had been learning alchemy since his mother's womb. Now at this age, he has become a sixth-rank alchemist, which is already worthy of the royal family's efforts to befriend him.

I had never realized how terrifying Xiao Yuan was before. The royal family was far behind the Mittel family.

Now that it has been discovered, the royal family will at least become the force in the Gama Empire that has the best relationship with Xiao Yuan, except for the Mitre family!

"This kind of medicine is too powerful, so only people with magical beast physiques can take it. Moreover, it requires special stimulation from a pharmacist to maximize the medicinal power. Jia Lao has to take me there."

Xiao Yuan stood up, stretched out for a while, and said with a smile.

Wow!
The space fluctuated, and a purple figure suddenly appeared from somewhere and landed beside Xiao Yuan.

"Finally I found you. You ran quite far."

Zi Yan's voice followed closely.

"Who is this?"

Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma's pupils shrank as they looked at Zi Yan who appeared beside Xiao Yuan without any warning, and a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

They seemed to sense the fluctuation of spatial force from this little girl.

"Our academy's junior sister, Zi Yan."

Xiao Yuan explained with a smile.

"So he is a top student of Canaan College. No wonder he has the strength of a Dou Wang at such a young age."

Upon hearing this, Fa Ma nodded and spoke slowly.

In fact, he vaguely felt a dangerous aura from Zi Yan.

"How long are you going to stay here? Sister Yafei told me to keep an eye on you and not let you fool around outside."

Zi Yan's words were quite blunt, which made Xiao Yuan feel a little embarrassed.

"I'll be back soon. I have some things to take care of."

Xiao Yuan rubbed Zi Yan's little head and said with a smile.

"Jia Lao, let's get going."

Xiao Yuan raised his head, looked at Jia Xingtian and said.

"Well, come with me."

Jia Xingtian nodded, waved his hand, took Yao Ye with him, and led Xiao Yuan and others to fly towards the back mountain of the imperial palace. Finally, they landed outside a huge lake on the top of the mountain.

As soon as he landed, Xiao Yuan's eyes swept towards the huge lake. Here, he could faintly feel a powerful aura hidden in the deep bottom of the lake.

"Hey, there is a big snake in this lake. It seems to be quite powerful." While Xiao Yuan was sensing, Zi Yan beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing Zi Yan speak, Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye were both startled, and then looked at the delicate and pretty little girl in surprise. It was already difficult to sense the hidden aura in such a deep lake, but they did not expect that this extremely cute little girl could actually tell the shape of the hidden thing in it. How could they not be surprised?

Xiao Yuan, who was standing aside, was not surprised at Zi Yan's performance. The latter's true form was the supreme magical beast, the Taixu Ancient Dragon. It was not surprising at all that she could sense the magical beast hidden in the lake.

"General Jia, please call out that sea beast."

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded quickly, and in a flash, he appeared on the lake. His feet landed on the water, and then his hands entered the water, and his powerful fighting spirit surged in.
As the fighting spirit poured in, the calm lake surface suddenly seemed to boil, with countless bubbles appearing.

As the lake surface boiled, Xiao Yuan on the shore could clearly feel a powerful aura gradually surging up from the bottom of the lake.

"Oh!"

Just as the lake was boiling, suddenly, a huge column of water shot up from the lake, and finally turned into a sky full of water splashing down.
"Roar!"

Water columns shot into the sky, and a low roar of a strange beast suddenly rose from the lake. Its huge size immediately occupied half of the lake.

The demon beast that appeared in front of Xiao Yuan was no less powerful than the Sky-Swallowing Python in size and combat condition. Its huge winding body was covered with dark blue scales, which reflected the cold light under the sunlight. On its huge head, there was a blue spiral horn and a pair of huge pupils like lanterns, which looked quite terrifying.

As soon as this beast appeared, the air between the sky and the earth became much more humid. Obviously, this giant beast should be the mysterious guardian beast of the Gama royal family, the dark sea dragon!

"Old Jia, what's the matter that you woke me up? Didn't I say that my condition is greatly reduced and I can't help you much?" As the giant beast appeared, the thunderous sound with a little dissatisfaction resounded above the lake.

Jia Xingtian, who was standing on the lake, looked up at the Youhai Jiao Beast and smiled, saying, "Old man, I'm not disturbing you. Look, what is this?"

As he spoke, Jia Xingtian waved his hand, and the Hunyuan Bone-shaping Pill broke through the jade bottle and then floated in front of him, flashing a faint light.

As soon as the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill appeared, a strong medicinal fragrance enveloped the lake. Upon smelling the fragrance, the Youhai Jiao Beast was also stunned, and then there was an unconcealable ecstasy in its loud voice:

"Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill? You got it so quickly?"

Jia Xingtian smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan on the shore and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Yuan, I'll leave it to you from now on." (End of this chapter)
