Xiao Yuan glanced at Liu Qing and said with a smile: "Three-star Douhuang? It seems that dealing with family affairs has consumed a lot of your energy!"

Hearing this, Liu Qing shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "You are probably not just a Dou Zong now, right?"

He saw clearly the scene of Xiao Yuan flying in the air.

Liu Qing's words also made the faces of the people behind him change a little. They looked at Xiao Yuan strangely. Such a young Dou Zong powerhouse is quite rare.

"Haha, it's just some chance."

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and did not deny it.

His current strength is almost at the peak of three-star Dou Zong, and he is not far from a breakthrough. He just needs an opportunity.

"Alas, I still can't catch up with you. You are worthy of being the most talented person in the inner courtyard. I have to admit that." Liu Qing sighed. When he had half a foot in the Dou Wang level and ranked among the top three in the strong list, Xiao Yuanshang was just a freshman of the Grand Dou Master. However, now, in just a few years, he has reached a level that he can look up to. Such an extreme change is really hard to accept.

Xiao Yuan smiled, his eyes swept across Liu Fei's cheek behind Liu Qing, he smiled and nodded at her, and under his smile, the latter's cheeks flushed pink, and her beautiful eyes turned away evasively.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to Cai Lin. Of course, you may be familiar with her other name, Queen Medusa."

Xiao Yuan turned his gaze back to Liu Qing and introduced him to him with a smile.

"Queen Medusa? Hiss, is she the notorious snake-man warrior from your Gama Empire? Well, it's not so strange that this happened to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing seemed to be thinking about something at first, then he revealed a meaningful smile and bowed to the cold and beautiful woman beside him.

"Cai Lin, this is Liu Qing."

Xiao Yuan turned around and said.

"Ah hello."

Cai Lin didn't seem to be particularly interested in other humans. After greeting them awkwardly, she stopped talking.

Naturally, Liu Qing would not care about this. He had traveled with Lin Xiuya and Lin Yan in the past and had stayed in the Jia Ma Empire for a period of time. Naturally, he understood Queen Medusa's character. Moreover, seeing how she stood in the void with Xiao Yuan just now, she was obviously a Dou Zong-level warrior.

"Cai Lin is just like that, don't mind it."

Xiao Yuan explained with a smile.

"Haha, that's not true. A strong person naturally has a strong personality. What's more, you killed the people of the Black Horn Region and made them flee in panic. It was really satisfying! I, Liu Qing, admire people like you. How could I care about such a small matter? By the way, what are you doing here?"

A smile appeared on Liu Qing's face, and the previous gloomy look on his face also dissipated a lot. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood to meet Xiao Yuan suddenly.

"I need to go to Danyu. Tianhuang City has a space wormhole that goes directly to Danyu. Senior Sister Han Yue told me that your home is here, so I came to visit you on the way. I didn't expect that it would be better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and glanced at the Cheng family and others not far away without leaving a trace.

Hearing this, Liu Qing nodded, and then laughed proudly, "After today, the space wormhole will reopen. I will help you take care of it then. Just leave this little thing to me."

"It's time for the Cheng family to take charge of the space wormhole. They have always disliked our Liu family. If you, cousin, come forward, they will make things difficult for us."

Behind Liu Qing, Liu Fei suddenly muttered.

Hearing this, Liu Qing's face darkened and Liu Fei immediately stopped talking.

"Okay, don't you know my personality? You and Xiao Yan didn't know each other until they fought. If he were here, he would definitely help you."

Xiao Yuan knew that Liu Qing felt embarrassed for being asked to help as soon as he arrived in Tianhuang City, so he simply asked directly.

Xiao Yuan had said this, and Liu Qing couldn't drag Xiao Yuan away. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuan, then he could only smile bitterly and sighed, "There is more than one Dou Zong expert in the Cheng family. If you offend them because of me, it will be very troublesome."

"More than one?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Qing with a strange expression.

More than people?
There are five Dou Zong-level puppets lying in his ring!

The entire Fenglei North Pavilion's top leaders have become his subordinates, so what is a mere Cheng family?
If Xiao Yuan was really forced into a corner, he would just turn Lei Zun into a puppet. Not to mention the Cheng family alone, even if there were ten more, they would be gifts too.

"That's right. You and Miss Cai Lin are both Dou Zongs. With your fighting ability, I'm afraid you are comparable to two Dou Zongs. You do have the confidence."

Liu Qing seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words, and said with a dumb smile.

Hearing this, the two elders behind him were also stunned. One person could be comparable to two Dou Zong masters? This young man's fighting power was actually that strong?
They felt that there must be something fishy in Liu Qing's words.

"You underestimated me. Even if they are from Fenyan Valley, they can't do anything to me. What is the Cheng family?"

Xiao Yuan felt that Liu Qing was still too narrow-minded, so he waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Fei's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of something strange, and her gaze secretly swept over Xiao Yuan.

After Liu Qing was slightly amazed, he struggled for a while, and finally sighed: "It's all because of the trouble caused by this spatial wormhole. Originally, it was my Liu family's turn to control it this year, but Fenyan Valley needed to find a high-level alchemist, so they used this thing as a bargaining chip. I don't know where the Cheng family found a sixth-grade alchemist. The highest-level alchemist in my Liu family is only fifth-grade."

"Why is Burning Flame Valley looking for a high-level alchemist? With their strength, there's no way they don't have an alchemist, right?"

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly.

Logically speaking, he had the impression that Fen Yan Valley would not do such a thing at such an early time, but since this happened, it actually saved him the trouble of recommending himself.

"I'm not too sure about this, but it is said that the master of Fenyan Valley needs to refine an elixir and needs the assistance of some high-level alchemists." Liu Qing shook his head and said.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, and suddenly cast his eyes towards the arrogant purple-robed old man not far away, and said: "So, as long as you can find an alchemist with a higher rank than that old man, then this space wormhole will still be under the control of the Liu family?"

Liu Qing nodded and looked at Xiao Yuan, with some hope rising in his heart. He knew that Xiao Yuan later became an alchemist, and his progress was very fast. If his talent for alchemy was as terrifying as his fighting spirit talent, then Xiao Yuan now might really be able to help him!

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled, walked out slowly, then bowed to the red-robed old man and said with a smile: "Elder, the Liu family has not yet admitted defeat, so please wait for the handover."

Elder Chihuo spotted Xiao Yuanyi as soon as he appeared. He was also a little surprised that he could reach the Dou Zong level at such a young age. Even in the Fenyan Valley, few people of the same generation could achieve such an achievement.

"If you haven't admitted defeat, then please invite the alchemist out. If the Liu family can find an alchemist stronger than Master Zeng Xiu, then the control of this space wormhole will still belong to the Liu family."

Perhaps because Xiao Yuan sensed a dangerous aura from Xiao Yuan, Elder Chihuo's tone was quite kind, and the speed at which his expression changed made Liu Fei at the side couldn't help but pout.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the purple-robed old man, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "In that case, then let me compete with this 'master'?"

"Are you the alchemist hired by the Liu family?"

Hearing what Xiao Yuan said, Elder Chihuo was also stunned. His experienced eyes slowly swept over Xiao Yuan, and he couldn't help but feel unbelievable. He was already extremely shocked that Xiao Yuan could reach the Dou Zong level at such a young age. If he said that he was also an alchemist, wouldn't that be too scary?

Fighting Qi cultivation and alchemy are both profound and extensive paths. It is very difficult to stand out in one of them. There are very few people who can succeed in achieving outstanding results in both paths!

Xiao Yuan's words also caused a commotion among the crowd around the square, but more people were skeptical of Xiao Yuan's words. Although such a young man seemed to be very powerful, it did not mean that he was qualified to challenge Zeng Xiu, a master of alchemy.
Zeng Xiu, one of the parties involved, was also stunned for a moment, and then a sneer flashed across his dry face. He looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Maybe I am not as good as you in fighting spirit, but in terms of this alchemy technique, to be honest, you are not qualified!"

Xiao Yuan ignored Zeng Xiu's clownish remarks. He turned his gaze to Elder Chihuo and said with a smile, "I wonder how this competition will work? Do we need to make pills in public?"

"Don't bother with that. I don't have that much time to waste with you." Zeng Xiu took over the conversation, sneered, and said, "Since you are also an alchemist, you should also know the importance of soul power to an alchemist. In that case, let's compare soul power! Considering that you are the junior, I will let you make the first move. As long as you can use soul power to repel me, then you win!"

It’s no wonder that Zeng Xiu was so arrogant. The biggest difference between an alchemist and an ordinary fighter is soul power. The soul power of a sixth-grade alchemist is enough to rival that of a Dou Zong warrior!

Hearing Zeng Xiu's words, Xiao Yuan was stunned at first, and then he suddenly laughed strangely. Comparing soul power?
After Zeng Xiu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Xiao Yuan indifferently. He had the demeanor of a master and seemed to be doing a very good job.

This posture, to ordinary people, was quite intimidating, but the look in Cai Lin's eyes when she looked at him was full of pity.

During these days, the soul fluctuations displayed by Xiao Yuan when he was refining medicine were enough to make her feel frightened.

To put it bluntly, even if Xiao Yuan had lost his physical body now, Cai Lin would not be able to kill his soul.

This guy is really getting harder and harder to kill. "Go ahead."

As if he thought Xiao Yuan was moving too slowly, Zeng Xiu frowned and urged him on.

Xiao Yuan was speechless. With a wave of his hand, the majestic and vast soul power swept out like a storm!

At this moment, the expression of Elder Chihuo, who had been calm all along, suddenly changed!

Zeng Xiu's originally calm expression turned pale in an instant.
The majestic soul power, like a raging storm, brought about an extremely terrifying pressure, and slammed fiercely at the purple-robed old man. Wherever it passed, the space shook, and traces of dark cracks quietly spread!
Although the power of the soul is invisible and colorless, anyone with a little strength can feel the terrifying pressure that permeates the sky. This pressure comes from the depths of the soul and makes people almost tremble. At this moment, the many whispers outside the field stopped abruptly, and the expressions on the faces of some people who still questioned Xiao Yuan's previous actions were frozen, looking extremely funny.

Today, after two months of hard training, although Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills are still at the intermediate seventh level, if it really comes to a comparison of soul power, even a seventh-level advanced alchemist will not have any advantage over Xiao Yuan, and may even be at a disadvantage.

Once this terrifying soul power is unleashed, the power is naturally extremely terrifying. Not to mention that Zeng Xiu is only a sixth-grade alchemist, even if he has reached the seventh-grade level, it would be difficult for him to be Xiao Yuan's opponent.

Elder Chihuo stared at the majestic force sweeping across the sky in amazement. After a moment, he took a deep breath and turned to Xiao Yuan, who was not far away, with shock in his eyes. A hoarse voice, with some disbelief, slowly came out of his throat: "Seventh-grade alchemist?"

After seeing Xiao Yuan's approximate strength, Elder Chihuo's heart was undoubtedly filled with shock. He could never have imagined that Xiao Yuan was not only a Dou Zong, but also had such profound attainments in alchemy.

A seventh-rank alchemist, such an identity is extremely important even in the Central Region. You know, alchemists of this level, even in the Dan Tower, although they can't be said to be at the pinnacle, are definitely at the top!
What shocked Elder Chihuo the most was Xiao Yuan's age. Even with his experience, it was the first time he had ever seen a seventh-grade alchemist of such a young age. His talent in fighting spirit and alchemy was almost monstrous.

However, Zeng Xiu on the other side found it difficult to calm down and analyze rationally.

As an alchemist, he was naturally more sensitive to soul power. The oncoming mighty force made him feel like he was facing a vast ocean. He had only felt this feeling in some elders of Danta, and those elders, without exception, all had great reputations in Zhongzhou!

However, the ones who gave him this feeling this time were not the elders of Danta, but a young man who looked to be in his early twenties!
"Seventh grade alchemist? How is that possible?"

His body trembled slightly, and after a moment, a crazy and cruel look suddenly surged into Zeng Xiu's eyes. He absolutely could not believe that this young man, who looked not much different from a young boy, could actually reach the seventh rank, a level that he could only look up to!

With a ruthless look on his face, Zeng Xiu quickly took a few steps back. At this point, he no longer cared about the big talk he had said before. With a low roar, a powerful soul force surged out of his body and quickly condensed into an invisible soul barrier in front of him!

"Boy, don't play tricks in front of me!"

The soul barrier condensed, and Zeng Xiu stared at Xiao Yuan and shouted coldly.

In response to his shout, Xiao Yuan didn't even turn his head. He looked at Elder Chihuo, cupped his hands, and smiled confidently: "The winner is decided!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the majestic soul power that swept across the sky easily destroyed Zeng Xiu's soul barrier. Then, when it was about to hit Zeng Xiu, it turned like lightning and rushed towards the sky. Then, it made a big turn and was taken back into Xiao Yuan's body.

"puff!"

The soul barrier was broken and Zeng Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, but the look he gave Xiao Yuan was full of awe.

After stuffing a pill into his mouth and recovering, Zeng Xiu cupped his hands, smiled a little bitterly and a little respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Master, for showing mercy. I am indeed not as skilled as you."

After being crushed by Xiao Yuan's soul power just now, Zeng Xiu understood that even some of the elders of Danta had no advantage over this young man in terms of soul power. The soul power that was so terrifying just now could be controlled so freely. The alchemy skills of this young man were probably not just as simple as just entering the seventh level.

With such powerful talent and strength, there must be a master's guidance behind him. He is very likely the legendary eighth-grade alchemist.

He definitely couldn't afford to provoke such an existence.

"Hiss, this guy is actually a seventh-grade alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, many people's throats rolled, and their eyes showed an unconcealable look of horror.

Even a sixth-rank master like Zeng Xiu has to call this young man a master. What rank can he be if not seventh-rank?

As for the eighth grade? I dare not think about it, no one dares to think so.

But because of this, the expressions in countless people's eyes were almost dull. A seventh-grade alchemist was not an ordinary heavyweight. Alchemists of this level were absolutely top-notch even if they were placed in the Burning Flame Valley or even the Dan Tower!
Cheng Yao and other members of the Cheng family stared at Zeng Xiu, who was lying in the distance, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. After a long while, they swallowed hard. A seventh-grade alchemist? Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shudder. It wouldn't be difficult for such a person to destroy the Cheng family. As long as he opened his mouth, many super strong people would be willing to help him. No one dared to question the appeal of a seventh-grade alchemist.
"When did the Liu family get to know an alchemist of this level? Why haven't we received any news about this?" Cheng Yao's face was gloomy and his thoughts were racing. A seventh-grade alchemist was not a big shot that a family like theirs could invite. He couldn't figure out why the Liu family was able to invite him?
Not far away from Cheng Yao and the others, Liu Qing, Liu Fei and the others were also looking at Zeng Xiu on the ground in the distance with their mouths slightly opened. They felt it was absurd that Zeng Xiu couldn't even last a round in Xiao Yuan's hands. He was a sixth-grade alchemist.
"Seventh-rank alchemist" The two white-haired old men behind Liu Qing also took a deep breath at this moment, with uncontrollable surprise in their tone: "This gentleman is actually a seventh-rank alchemist, clan leader, is he really your friend?"

Hearing the disbelief in the two people's words, Liu Qing couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although these two old guys were elders of the clan, they had always had some prejudices against him being elected as the clan leader. Today, he could use Xiao Yuan's hand to dampen their arrogance.

Although Liu Qing was proud in his heart, his face remained unchanged. He said calmly: "If he wasn't my friend, did the two elders think that someone else would take action?"

Hearing this, the two elders smiled awkwardly but did not retort. If Liu Qing really had a friend who was a seventh-grade alchemist, then it would undoubtedly be a great joy for the Liu family.

On the other side, Elder Chihuo had already come back to his senses. A rare smile appeared on his old face. He walked up to Xiao Yuan and said kindly, "My friend, you are so powerful that it really opened my eyes. Haha, the management of the Tianhuang City space wormhole for the next three years will belong to the Liu family."

Hearing what Elder Chihuo said, Cheng Yao's face turned quite ugly, but due to the other party's identity, he no longer had any dissatisfaction. He could only clench his fists and look at Liu Qing hatefully, his eyes filled with anger.

Although Cheng Yao knew that it was Xiao Yuan's appearance that turned the situation around, it was difficult for him to harbor hatred towards a seventh-grade alchemist because he knew very well how powerful a seventh-grade alchemist was.
Compared to Cheng Yao's grim expression, Liu Qing's face was covered with a look of joy. He clasped his fists towards Elder Chihuo and said with a smile, "Thank you, Elder Chihuo."

"Isn't that right, Elder Chihuo?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned.

"Hmm? What's the matter? What's your doubt, young man?"

Hearing this, Elder Chihuo asked with some surprise.

“Elder Chihuo, the order from the Guigu Valley Master is that if a high-level alchemist is found, the management rights of the space wormhole can be handed over to the family for three years. But as far as I know, this year it is the turn of the Liu family to manage the space wormhole. If I hadn’t intervened, wouldn’t the Cheng family have obtained the management rights of the space wormhole for four consecutive years?
In this case, we should treat everyone equally and extend the three-year term to after this year. Otherwise, wouldn't the Liu family lose one year of management rights for nothing?"

Xiao Yuan said seriously.

"???"

Hearing this, everyone in the audience opened their mouths slightly and widened their eyes.

Speaking of which, Cai Lin has followed Xiao Yuan for a long time. Although she is not surprised by this, she also finds it very interesting. Sometimes, she really feels that Xiao Yuan's brain is different from that of ordinary people.

"Brother, I think what Xiao Yuan said makes sense!"

Liu Fei muttered softly when she heard this.

"."

Liu Qing also thought that Xiao Yuan's logic was so clear, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"This"

Elder Chihuo was also confused and was thinking about it. The head of the Cheng family, Cheng Yao, who was standing next to him, became anxious!

"I disagree!"

Cheng Yao suddenly shouted angrily.

If the Liu family were allowed to control the space wormhole for four consecutive years, it would be difficult for the Cheng family to raise their heads in the next ten years.

"Noisy!"

Xiao Yuan's expression turned cold, and a powerful aura burst out, directly shocking Cheng Yao so much that his chest was stuffy and he retreated repeatedly.

"I don't like people talking too much when I'm talking. If you keep talking nonsense, the management rights of this space wormhole will have nothing to do with your Cheng family. Do you understand?"

Dark golden flames surged out from Xiao Yuan's body, and in a flash, they covered the entire Cheng family. The scorching heat raised the temperature of the entire city. In the square, many people were sweating profusely and fell silent in an instant.

Everyone in the Cheng family was surrounded by terrifying flames, and everyone showed a look of panic. Even the two Dou Zong elders of the Cheng family had their pupils shrunken at this moment. Although their bodies clearly felt very hot, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This young man is stronger than any of them, and he also has such a rare treasure as the Strange Fire. If they really fight, they will not get any advantage!

Cheng Yao, who was at the peak of Douhuang level, no longer dared to speak.

He clearly felt the murderous intent in Xiao Yuan's words!
"Strange Fire!!"

Zeng Xiu, who had been silent for a long time, exclaimed again. With just one sentence, the originally deadly silence in the room became heated. (End of this chapter)
