In the blink of an eye, half a year passed quietly.

Xiao Yuan finished his practice, walked out of the room, sat on the wooden lounge chair in the valley, and relaxed.

Over the past six months, his cultivation results have been very good. His Dou Qi level has been raised to Seven-Star Dou Zong, and the first four seals of the Emperor Seal have all been cultivated to perfection. Even the Ice Honor Power of the Glacier Valley has been cultivated by him to a level comparable to the decades of practice of the Sky Snake Elder.

However, what made Xiao Yuan most happy was that his soul realm also broke through to the spiritual realm with the help of the soul cultivation method taught by Yao Lao.

Now, he can easily suppress people whose strength is lower than that of Dou Zun with his soul power alone.

As for the other women, with his full support, their progress in cultivation was also extremely rapid.

Xiao Yixiang ate a highly poisonous pill refined by Xiao Yuan, and with her years of accumulation, she broke through from the original two-star Dou Zun to the three-star Dou Zun in one fell swoop.

After taking the elixir refined by Xiao Yuan to assist in her cultivation, Yun Yun successfully advanced from a two-star Dou Zong to a five-star Dou Zong within half a year.

Cai Lin had already reached the peak of the four-star Dou Zong level, and relying on the secret method inherited from the Sky-Swallowing Python, he actually directly soared his strength to the peak of the Dou Zong level.

Tang Huoer spent two and a half months mastering the strange fire and consolidating his fighting spirit. Therefore, in the remaining time, he also broke through three levels in succession and reached the level of an eight-star Dou Zong.

However, this kind of rapid training cannot continue endlessly, as it will cause their fighting spirit to become weak. What's more, the Alchemy Conference is about to begin, and it is time for them to set off for Shengdan City.

Although he was not planning to attend the Alchemy Conference as a contestant, as Medicine Master's disciple and Xiao Yan's elder brother, he still needed to go to Shengdan City.

Moreover, during the retreat, Venerable Feng also sent a message saying that he wanted to meet in Shengdan City.

However, practicing with a group of people is not the same as practicing alone, so the time they come out of seclusion will naturally be different.

When Xiao Yuan brought the four girls back to the Ye family, Xiao Yan and others were already ready to set off.

The aura of Skyfire Master became much stronger, and it was obvious that he had been promoted to Seven-Star Dou Zun.

As for Yao Lao, he naturally couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Yuan's amazing talent. In just half a year, while improving his fighting spirit, he also did not neglect the cultivation of soul power. He actually became an eighth-grade alchemist at the age of less than 20!

However, Yao Lao has recovered quite well now. His vast soul power is so powerful that even Xiao Yuan, who has been promoted to an eighth-grade alchemist, is still frightened by it.

"Brother, your training speed is too abnormal!"

Xiao Yan also discovered that his third brother had become much stronger, and he sighed at the moment.

"If it weren't for the fact that I have five Qi Palaces that need to be filled, my Doudi bloodline would be enough for me to touch the threshold of Douzun within the next six months. I think Xun'er's bloodline is also very strong in the ancient clan, otherwise she wouldn't have stepped into Douzun one step ahead of time."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Yan nodded suddenly. He had no concrete idea about the Dou Emperor's bloodline before, but now with Xiao Yuan's personal testimony, he finally got a glimpse of the Dou Emperor's terror.

The power of blood alone can bring endless benefits to future generations. Such great power is worthy of being called the Dou Emperor!

"By the way, Third Brother, during the time you were away, the Cao family sent someone to Yecheng. It was said that they came for Xin Lan, but I sent him back. Senior Tianhuo also took sides, so there might be some trouble after we go to Zhongzhou."

While chatting and laughing, Xiao Yuan talked about some things that happened during the time when he was away from Yecheng.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a mere Cao family. We have even provoked the Soul Palace. Why should we be afraid of the Cao family? Besides, with Senior Tianhuo here, what is there to be afraid of? Even an eight-star Dou Zun may not be Senior Tianhuo's opponent."

Xiao Yuan waved his hands. Although he was looking at Xiao Yan when he spoke, his words were obviously addressed to the Skyfire Venerable who was standing beside him.

"You kid, you want me to be your thug after just two sentences? At least you should give me an eighth-grade pill to try, right?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Skyfire began to grumble with some dissatisfaction.

“Haha, don’t even mention just one. As long as Senior Tianhuo needs as many as you want, I will refine that many for you!”

Xiao Yuan laughed heartily.

“Okay, okay, you are a very nice guy. Not to mention an eight-star Dou Zun, even if a Dou Zun peak strongman wants to attack you, I can help you stop him!”

Reverend Skyfire stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said with great pride.

"My friend, have you already broken through to the eighth rank?"

Ye Chong also came closer and felt Xiao Yuan's terrifying soul power. He was a little bit unbelievable.

"Haha, I luckily broke through a few days ago."

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Oh my god, an eighth-grade alchemist who is less than 20 years old is already the top talent in the entire Zhongzhou!"

Ye Zhong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. These days, he had personally witnessed Xiao Yan's alchemy skills soar to the peak of the seventh rank, and he was already very shocked.

Now seeing Xiao Yuan, who has been promoted to an eighth-grade alchemist, he is even more astounded.

That old fellow Su Qian really accepted two good students!

"Senior Xiao Yuan is really amazing. With this kind of talent, even the witch Cao Ying from the Cao family would be inferior to you!"

Xin Lan on the side also said with admiration.

"The witch from the Cao family?"

Xiao Yuan showed a curious look.

He had some impression of these four words. It seemed that he was an alchemist with great talent.

“Well, this is a great rival for Xiao Yan in the Alchemy Conference!” Ye Zhong’s face became serious as he introduced, “The demon girl’s name is Cao Ying. When she was born, she showed a shocking soul power. Her mother was almost killed on the spot by the spreading soul power. At the age of seven, she officially became an alchemist. At the age of fifteen, she was spotted by the Alchemy Tower and became a core disciple of the Alchemy Tower. She practiced in the Alchemy Tower for five years. At the age of twenty, she became the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in the Cao family. Now, she is just twenty-two years old!”

Ye Zhong's gentle voice lingered in the courtyard, causing all the Ye family members in the courtyard to lower their heads in shame. Compared with Cao Ying, they were simply idlers waiting to die.
Of course, not only them, but even Xiao Yan who was standing beside them had a solemn look on his face. Although he had heard Ye Zhong’s information about the Cao family’s witch before, he was still shocked after hearing it again.

If his current achievements are a combination of talent and hard work, then Cao Ying is probably a little witch who is truly blessed by God.
"She reached the seventh rank at the age of 20. In the past two years, she should have made some progress. I guess, maybe now she..." Speaking of this, even Ye Zhong paused, then looked bitter, "Now she should be at least at the peak of the seventh rank"

"Everyone is still twenty years old, what are you afraid of? It's just Cao Ying. The champion of this alchemy competition will definitely be Xiao Yan's!"

Xiao Yuan sneered, then patted Xiao Yan's shoulder proudly.

Xiao Yan immediately perked up after hearing that. His third brother’s trust in him remained the same as always!
"Haha, our Ye family doesn't dare to dream of winning the Alchemy Contest. We just want to keep our seat. But I am optimistic that Xiao Yan will win the championship. Although I haven't seen how Cao Ying has grown up, I have seen how Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I believe that Xiao Yan will become famous in Zhongzhou at the Alchemy Contest!"

Ye Zhong sighed at first, but then he spoke with admiration.

After some greetings, Ye Zhong explained the family affairs and led everyone to a square slightly north of Yecheng. There was also a space wormhole in Yecheng, but it was not large in scale and could not lead directly to Shengdan City. Instead, it had to transfer several times in the middle before it could finally reach its destination.
Besides contestant Xiao Yan, the others who accompanied them on this trip were Xiao Yuan, his four beauties, and Skyfire Reverend, the Dou Zun powerhouse with the highest combat power.

From the Ye family, only Xin Lan and Ye Chong followed. After all, for something like this, it would be useless to have too many people, so it would be better for them to stay in Yecheng and guard the base.

Several people followed Ye Chong through the city, and after ten minutes or so, they appeared at the North Square. Although the Ye family is now in decline, but the tiger is thin, but the remaining power is still there. At least in Yecheng, there is no big force that can challenge the status of the Ye family. Therefore, this rather coveted space wormhole is also controlled by the Ye family.

Obviously, they had to go through the space wormhole. Ye Chong had already given the order, so when Xiao Yuan and others entered the square, it was empty. When Xiao Yuan and his party stepped onto the stone platform, the slowly rotating space wormhole appeared in everyone's sight.

The space wormhole in Yecheng also looks quite majestic, but judging from the chaotic space fluctuations that slowly emanate from the space, this space wormhole has not been maintained for many years.
"Alas, when my Ye family was prosperous, there were two Dou Zun strong men who volunteered to maintain the wormhole. But as it declined, my Ye family can no longer hire strong men of this level. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all."

Looking at the space wormhole, Ye Zhong smiled bitterly and said.

Xiao Yuan's expression became more serious, and he suddenly said: "It's okay, it's not difficult to repair the space wormhole. Let's repair it before we go. I don't want to be thrown away by the space storm again!"

"Senior Tianhuo, Little Medical Fairy, let's attack together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan took the lead in performing the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire. After three explosions, his strength directly soared to the level of a two-star Dou Zun.

"it is good."

The two also knew that Xiao Yuan had suffered losses before and there was no way he would suffer the same loss a second time, so they attacked together.

The rich force of space turned into silver lines and entered the space wormhole under the control of the three people.

Although it was Xiao Yuan who proposed it, the restoration was mainly carried out by Tianhuo Zunzhe, a veteran Dou Zun powerhouse. He was very proficient in the use of the power of space. After all, relying on this method, he waited for Xiao Yuan's arrival in the dark underground magma world.

The repair lasted for a full half hour, but the stability of the channel was reassuring enough.

"Thank you all, let's get going now."

Ye Zhong bowed with some gratitude, then took out a complicated-looking black boat from his ring, rubbed it with his palm, and then stepped lightly, walking straight into the slowly rotating black wormhole. Afterwards, Xiao Yuan and others followed closely.
In the silent space channel, Xiao Yuan and others flashed out. Ye Chong threw his hand, and the small black boat swelled up in the wind and turned into a huge ship. This space ship was the most luxurious one Xiao Yuan had seen since he entered Zhongzhou. It seemed that Ye Chong really put a lot of thought into it.

Several people boarded the huge ship. Ye Zhong touched the bow with ease, and a circle of energy shield extended out, surrounding the ship. The ship shook and accelerated suddenly. With a whoosh, it flew towards the endless space wormhole.
"There is no space passage from Yecheng to Shengdan City, so we can only go to a city called Qingling City first, and then reach Shengdan City through the space wormhole there." Ye Zhong turned around and smiled at Xiao Yuan and others on the ship, "It takes three days to get from here to Qingling City, and it takes about four days from Qingling City to Shengdan City, so I'm afraid it will take seven or eight days for us to reach Shengdan City. During this time, you can rest in the spaceship, which has a separate room. As for the operation of the spaceship, leave it to me and Xin Lan."

Xiao Yuan and the others did not say anything about Ye Zhong's suggestion. After chatting for a while, they went into the cabin and found a room.
The journey in the space channel was boring and silent, but it did not cause any trouble to Xiao Yuan and others who were used to practicing alone. During the few days of traveling, Xiao Yuan was still practicing diligently. Even every night, Xiao Yixian would practice together.

The other three women would occasionally come to Xiao Yuan's room for some intimacy, but most of the time they were in a state of rest. After all, they had just broken through several levels and their fighting spirit still needed to be consolidated.

As for Xiao Yan, he has been practicing the method of cultivating the soul that Yao Lao passed down to him. Now he has reached the threshold of the spiritual realm, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to become an eighth-grade alchemist.

Venerable Skyfire would chat with Yao Lao when he had nothing to do. After all, he and he were not from the same era. Even in Yao Lao's era, there was no information about Venerable Skyfire. But no matter what, as former Dou Zun powerful men who had both lost their physical bodies, the two still had a lot in common.

The group arrived safely in Qingling City. After a short rest, they rushed to the space passage of Qingling City and headed straight for Shengdan City!

When passing through Qingling City, everyone also witnessed the terrifying attraction of the alchemy conference. The streets were filled with alchemists, one after another, and there were huge crowds of people. With such a large number of alchemists, it was truly the most grand event that Xiao Yuan and his party had ever seen in all their years of cultivation.

Moreover, this is just a city in Danyu. I wonder how shocking the flow of people would be if all the alchemists gathered in Shengdan City.
Thinking of the grand scene of thousands of fires rising, thousands of tripods falling to the ground, and thousands of pills coming into being, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly became hot, and even his blood began to boil at this moment. It would be a great pity if one did not witness such a scene in his life!
Although Xiao Yuan was also shocked, he was more interested in the interior of Danta, the real core layer, the small Danta! (End of this chapter)
