Xiao Yuan walked out of the secret room and his eyes immediately focused on the old man in green robe in the yard.

It is obvious that this is a handsome old man. Although he is old, the heroic look between his brows and his deep pupils still make him look imposing.

Even though Xiao Yuan had now reached the spiritual power of a seventh-grade alchemist, it was difficult to lock onto that ethereal aura.

The wind energy between heaven and earth also became noticeably more active. There were faint fluctuations of spatial force around the yard, blocking the yard. It seemed that they didn't want anyone to disturb their conversation.

"He is indeed a Dou Zong. He is so powerful at such a young age. He is indeed extraordinary."

The old man in green robe looked at Xiao Yuan and nodded.

"You must be Venerable Feng, right? Junior Xiao Yuan, nice to meet you, Venerable Feng!"

Xiao Yuan bowed to Master Feng who was standing in the middle of the yard, and then the wind-attributed skills in his body began to operate, and green fighting spirit lingered around him.

"Fuyao Riding the Wind"

Feeling the wind-attributed fighting spirit emanating from Xiao Yuan, Venerable Feng's pupils shrank, and the joy in his heart was almost beyond words.

Apart from him, Yao Chen is the only one in the world who possesses this martial art. This is the martial art that he brought out from the ancient cave with the Burning Art. Although it is not as magical as the Burning Art, this martial art also has a lot to do with his achievements today.

"You and him, yeah?"

Venerable Feng suppressed his excitement, a warm look appeared on his face, and he asked slowly.

"Master and apprentice!"

Xiao Yuan raised his head, looked into Master Feng's eyes, and spoke in a resounding voice.

Venerable Feng nodded slightly, and with a move of his body, he appeared directly in front of Xiao Yuan. There was a bit of kindness in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yuan, and he said softly: "This is the answer I want to hear the most, but you need to give me evidence."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and immediately took out the Black Demon Cauldron from his storage ring.

Venerable Feng stared blankly at the black medicine cauldron in front of him. He was not unfamiliar with this cauldron. If it hadn't been for this cauldron when he was dying, there would probably not be Venerable Feng now.
In addition, with Master Feng's perception, he could naturally clearly sense a familiar smell of soul power from the medicine cauldron.

Obviously, this clearly proved that Yao Chen was still alive! Moreover, he seemed to be in good condition!
As if sensing the soul power of its old friend, the soul mark in the medicine cauldron fluctuated slightly, and an old illusory figure appeared.

"Long time no see, old man."

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Master Feng's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"I didn't expect to see you again in this way."

Yao Lao nodded, floated in front of Master Feng, and said with emotion.

"Let's talk about reminiscing when you have time. I'm not in a good condition to show up now, and this kid has caused quite a bit of trouble. I don't have much soul power left, and I can't maintain this state for too long. So I won't be polite with you, just help me protect Xiao Yuan."

It seemed that Yao Lao had also heard about the big fuss Xiao Yuan had caused, and he gave instructions with some helplessness.

"Don't worry, since he is your disciple, no one can hurt him before I die!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng nodded and said domineeringly.

"Haha, your cultivation progress has slowed down a lot in the past few years since I was away. Please help me collect some materials. Xiao Yuan knows what is needed. Just ask him. See you in Danyu!"

Yao Lao nodded, looked up and down at Master Feng, then nodded with a smile, and his figure gradually dissipated into pieces of soul light.

"Little guy, tell me what happened in these years."

Venerable Feng watched Yao Lao's figure disappear and was absent-minded for a long time. Then he came to his senses and said in a deep voice with some emotion.

"Haha, Mr. Feng, please go inside first. It's not the right way to entertain guests to let you stand in the yard."

Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry to tell the story, but first took Master Feng into the secret room for training.

"Such a strong medicinal scent, it seems you have been refining a lot of medicine recently!"

As soon as he entered the secret room, Master Feng smelled a strong fragrance of elixir and immediately recalled the days when he practiced with Yao Chen.

"Well, my alchemy skills have just broken through to the seventh level and are being consolidated."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

"At such a young age, you are already a seventh-rank alchemist. Your talent is even stronger than Yao Chen's back then!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng couldn't help but be amazed.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that Xiao Yuan was indeed only twenty years old. Being able to become a Dou Zong and a seventh-rank alchemist at such an age, his future achievements would surely not be inferior to Yao Chen!

"Master Feng, you are too kind. If it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for me to even enter the field of alchemy. How could I have the opportunity to grow to this level now?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said modestly.

If there were no alchemy master like Yao Lao, it would be a question whether he would be able to practice alchemy now.

After all, the ordinary alchemists you meet outside are not as good as the great god Yao Lao in every aspect.

"Haha, now tell me about that old guy."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng was quite satisfied with Xiao Yuan. The young man in front of him had outstanding looks and a very good temper. He was much more pleasing to the eye than Han Feng.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan's face became serious, and he slowly said, "Master Feng must also know what happened to the teacher back then, right?"

"When he got into trouble, he was not with me. When I found out, it was Han Feng who announced that the old man had suffered a backlash while refining the elixir and had exploded to death. I naturally did not believe such words. I had questioned Han Feng several times, but he was also very cunning and I could not get anything out of him. However, after several times, he also disappeared in Zhongzhou. This made me vaguely realize that the old man's disappearance might have something to do with this guy, but I have been looking for him in Zhongzhou for so many years, and there is no news of Han Feng."

Venerable Feng stared at Xiao Yuan closely and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yuan sighed softly and whispered, "Teacher was indeed harmed by Han Feng back then."

"Oh!"

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, the face of Master Feng in front of him instantly turned gloomy and cold. A chilling murderous intent surged out of his body, causing the temperature of this world to drop a lot.

"This beast, Yao Chen raised him from an abandoned baby to an adult, and taught him all his skills, but he actually dared to bite his master? This evil beast, his conscience has been eaten by a dog, I should have slapped this beast to death in the first place!"

Rage appeared on Master Feng's face as he shouted angrily.

"Hmph, when I return, I will issue a wanted order. I believe that beast Han Feng must still be alive. If I let him fall into my hands, I will make him wish he were dead!" After recovering from his rage, Venerable Feng said with a grim face.

"If there is a wanted notice, then it may not be necessary." Xiao Yuan shook his head and explained, "Han Feng has already been cleared out by the teacher himself. Although the teacher can only exist in the form of a soul now, after supplementing with some natural treasures, he now has the strength of a Dou Zun. He is in the Dan Domain, so I think he should be safe."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Master Feng's breath calmed down a lot, his expression eased a little, and he nodded.

"Speaking of which, Han Feng's betrayal of his teacher is also closely related to the Soul Palace."

Xiao Yuan continued.

"Soul Palace?" Upon hearing this name, Master Feng's expression changed slightly.

"Master Feng, it seems that what the Soul Palace did was the teacher's soul power. Fortunately, everything has not come to the worst. The people in the Soul Palace should not have discovered that the teacher is in the Dan Domain yet. This time I took the initiative to expose my identity and lure you here. One is for the matter of Fenglei Pavilion, and the other is to divert the attention of the Soul Palace to me, so that the teacher can be safer.

However, the Soul Palace may not be able to see through the hidden content in my words at the first time. If the teacher had not mentioned that when you and I founded the Xingyun Pavilion, you insisted on taking him as the leader and respected him as the Pavilion Master. Although he was stubborn, he was also the person he trusted the most. I would not dare to take such a risk and bring you here. Therefore, I guess the people of the Soul Palace will not target me for the time being. In this case, I still have some time to practice. Maybe when they realize it later and send the elder to come, I will be able to fight them head-on. "

Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice.

"It really has something to do with these bastards!"

Venerable Feng said with gritted teeth. After some investigations over the years, he had discovered some things about the Soul Palace. However, he still did not expect that the ones who attacked Yao Chen back then were really these lingering ghosts.

But then he realized how risky it would be for Xiao Yuan to do this.

"You are quite courageous. You actually took the initiative to provoke the Soul Palace." Venerable Feng shook his head helplessly, but then changed the subject and said, "However, being bold and careful is indeed a good thing. I have been in charge of Xingyun Pavilion all these years. Therefore, in people's perception, I am indeed the one who makes the decisions in Xingyun Pavilion. That old guy disappeared for too long, and many people have forgotten about him."

"Hey, I've been hiding for too long, it's time to show my true colors."

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this, with a crazy fire flashing in his eyes.

"As long as the elder is not here in person, I will kill every Soul Palace guardian who comes!"

Xiao Yuan said with confidence.

"Yes, you have the same spirit as we did back then. Over the years, I have been traveling around, seemingly free and easy, but in fact I have been looking for the trace of that old guy. Now I finally have his trace, and I can feel more at ease. How about this, I will stay with you for a few days.

The fact that the old man was able to give you my technique means that you must be very suitable for it. I also took this opportunity to give you some pointers. On the way here, Master Lei asked me if I was his disciple. Now I can answer him with confidence. "

Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng nodded in satisfaction. He had previously inquired about it and knew that Xiao Yuan had indeed killed many powerful men from the Fenglei Pavilion by himself.

Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Yuan's words that sounded a bit arrogant.

So, after praising Xiao Yuan, Master Feng took out the communication jade slip and a message was sent out.

“But you have to be careful. According to my investigation, the Soul Palace wants more than just the old man’s soul. Perhaps they value his alchemy ability more. I knew that the Soul Palace seemed to be secretly carrying out a huge plan, and this plan required many outstanding alchemists.

A long time ago, in a battle for an ancient cave residence that shook Zhongzhou, Yao Chen and I fought against the Soul Palace. I'm afraid it was at that time that he was targeted."

After sending the message, Master Feng put the jade slip back into his ring, pondered for a moment, and suddenly spoke again.

"Ancient cave?" Xiao Yuan was stunned when he heard that.

"It was a grand event that happened a long time ago. The cave was inherited from ancient times. It attracted almost half of the Dou Zong-level warriors in Zhongzhou. However, the treasures inside were indeed astonishing. The Burning Art that Han Feng coveted was also what Yao Chen obtained there."

Lord Feng sighed, and then as if he suddenly realized something, he grabbed Xiao Yuan's wrist and began to probe.

"Hmm? Five different types of fighting spirit?"

After a moment, Venerable Feng looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise and doubt, and said in disbelief.

“There are indeed five kinds, but there are more than five.”

Xiao Yuan nodded, then flipped his palm, and five colors of fighting spirit, blue, red, yellow, white and black, condensed and surged in his palm.

"It can actually be transformed into other similar attributes!"

Venerable Feng has lived for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen such an outrageous situation, and he couldn't help but get a little excited.

"I was thinking that something was wrong. How could an alchemist practice wind-attributed techniques? So that's how it is!"

Venerable Feng nodded with some realization and sighed.

"But you haven't shown your special ability before, right? Otherwise, it's not just the Soul Palace that's targeting you now."

Then, Venerable Feng asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Elder Feng. So far, I have only shown the Dou Qi of wind and thunder attributes. Although it is rare, it is not impossible."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Ah That's good."

Lord Feng nodded with satisfaction, and his admiration for Xiao Yuan, his old friend, grew stronger.

"By the way, can you tell me what happened between you and Yao Chen over the years?"

Venerable Feng asked with some curiosity.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with memories, and he slowly said: "It all started with the fallen genius."

In the Fenglei Mountains, on the Thunder Throne in the Fenglei Pavilion's main hall, Venerable Lei looked at the reply letter sent by Venerable Feng, his face suddenly darkened, and his powerful fighting spirit attracted thunder, and the whole mountain range was covered with dark clouds and thunder roared.

"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"

Venerable Lei was so angry that he was shaking with cold all over, and he almost crushed the communication jade slip. The information on it was very simple, but extremely domineering.

"Xiao Yuan is the young master of my Xingyun Pavilion. If anyone dares to touch him, Xingyun Pavilion will go to war with him until death!"

"This boy is allowed to kill people from Fenglei Pavilion, but Fenglei Pavilion is not allowed to kill him? This is too much!"

Reverend Lei was so angry that he turned into a streak of lightning and flew out of the Wind and Thunder Mountains. (End of this chapter)
