"Your disciple is truly a genius!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yuan with her beautiful eyes. Xiao Yuan was sitting on the blue lotus throne, stabilizing his fallen soul realm, and could not help but admire him.

"Haha, yes, this child has been smart since he was young."

Yao Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"It looks like your two disciples are about to enter the realm of the eighth-grade alchemist. Xuankongzi, you have lost miserably this time!"

Xuan Yi said to Xuan Kongzi with a smile.

"Alas, my disciple was already a freak, but given time, this kid in front of me might be able to surpass us in alchemy. What else can I say?"

Xuan Kongzi sighed and said helplessly when he heard this.

"It won't take long. Xiao Yuan has only been involved in alchemy for less than three years."

Yao Lao smiled complacently and said with a beaming expression.

"What???"

Upon hearing this, not only Xuankongzi, but also Tianleizi and Xuanyi on the side were shocked.

Less than three years into practicing alchemy, he has already reached the eighth level? ? ?
Is this a human being?
The three men's incredulous gazes focused on Xiao Yuan, looking him up and down as if they wanted to see through him.

“Haha, as for Xiao Yan, he has only been exposed to alchemy for about four years. These two little guys are just twenty years old now, and I only came into contact with them five years ago.

At that time, when I woke up from my deep sleep, I officially guided Xiao Yan onto the path of practicing Dou Qi and alchemy. Before that, he was only at the third stage of Dou Qi. Although I did not intend to do it, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and actually tempered the child's character, and the effect was quite good.

As for Xiao Yuan, this child couldn't practice since he was young. Later, I tried to help him so that he could practice fighting spirit. However, he has a special physique, so it was a little late for him to practice alchemy."

Yao Lao did not reveal Xiao Yuan's background to others. Although the three people in front of him were his old friends, there were some things that he still had to keep in mind.

"You mean, these two little guys have cultivated their alchemy and fighting skills to this level in five years?"

The three giants of Danta took a deep breath and couldn't help asking.

"Well, that's true."

Yao Lao nodded with a smile.

"This is really unheard of. If we didn't know that you are not the kind of person who lies and is vain, we would never believe this."

The three of them looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

During the reminiscence, Xiao Yuan had already completed the stabilization of his own soul realm. With the blessing of the Soul Ascension Ring and the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Beads, there was no major problem with his soul. It was just that in the short term, he could not devote all his energy to refining some high-level eighth-grade elixirs. After all, the essence of the soul was not so easy to replenish.

He had consumed a lot of the energy in the Soul-Nourishing Pearl when refining the elixir before. Now that he had drained all of the energy from it, he was still unable to completely replenish the source.

But at least his soul realm was stabilized. Xiao Yuan felt that this deal was worthwhile, as he was able to leave such an important soul imprint at such a small price.

However, the soul seal is not permanent, and the power in it can probably only last for five years at most. Within five years, every time his soul power breaks through a major realm, he will have a chance to replenish the energy of the soul seal, which can basically last for fifteen or even twenty years. He believes that such a long time is enough for him to step into the realm of Dou Di.

At that time, I can try to travel through the long river of time and see if I can bring Master Han back.

After Xiao Yuan calmed down his thoughts, he opened his eyes and what came into his sight was Yao Lao's familiar and old face.

Xiao Yuan had just seen Yao Lao, who was stunningly handsome when he was young. When he opened his eyes and saw the handsome old man who looked a little older but still had the same temperament, he was also a little emotional. He couldn't help but smile and greeted him softly, "Teacher."

"Well, how are you now? I heard that you burned the Doudi blood in your body for me, and almost fell to the soul realm. Are you stable now?"

Yao Lao didn't rush to ask what happened. Instead, he put his fingers on Xiao Yuan's wrist, checked it with his soul power, and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, teacher. But you, don't you feel like you're missing something important?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and immediately got down to business.

"What important thing is missing?"

Yao Lao's eyes became confused. After thinking about it, he still couldn't understand why Xiao Yuan suddenly asked this question.

"Forget it. That kind of power wants to erase your memory. So many years have passed, so it's normal that you don't remember it. I think Aunt Xuan and the two seniors should also know about this."

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. Immediately, soul power surged out from the place where his forehead and fingertips touched, turning into a curtain of light.

What appeared on the light curtain was the scene that Xiao Yuan had seen earlier!
"Will you remember me?"

"No, you won't remember. This is the price."

"So, maybe after you become the Doudi, we will meet again one day."

"right."

As the voice full of regret echoed in the empty star field, tears were already streaming down Yao Lao's illusory face. Xuan Yi beside him also had red eyes. Xuan Kongzi and Tian Lei Zi were also silent.

It turns out that there was such a hidden story behind the disappearance of Han Shanshan, the genius of Danta?
"I have been looking for you, but I didn't expect that it was because of me that you..."

Yao Lao looked at the illusory figure in the light curtain, and his entire soul trembled violently due to excessive sadness.

He never imagined that the person he had been searching for across the continent would go away along with his lost memories!
"No matter who you are, I will not turn a blind eye if you try to steal my master's wife!"

Since these were the scenes seen in Xiao Yuan’s memory, they also saw what Xiao Yuan did from the first person perspective.

Looking at the mark on Han Shanshan's forehead, Yao Lao and the three giants of Danta all turned their eyes to Xiao Yuan.

"Teacher, I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, I will not do anything aimless. When I advance to Dou Di in the future, I will be able to use the soul seal to search for Master Han's traces in the long river of time. No matter what difficulties there are, they can't stop your reunion!"

Xiao Yuan said with a serious face and a firm gaze.

"Well, the teacher believes in you."

Hearing this, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yuan and nodded heavily.

"Alas, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Yao Chen, don't put all your hopes on the child. You have to work hard yourself as well. This should be your business!"

Xuan Yi who was standing aside did not feel any resentment because of Xiao Yuan's words "Master Han". Instead, he spoke to Yao Lao with a serious face.

"Well, do you have a suitable body? As long as you have a body, I can be resurrected."

Yao Lao was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, looked at the three giants of Danta and asked.

"No, we haven't fought with anyone for a long time, and we won't collect anyone's body."

The three giants shook their heads apologetically after hearing this. "I will find a way to deal with this body. Teacher, don't be anxious. More haste, less speed. In my opinion, instead of rushing to find a body to refine into a physical body, it is better to make more preparations. If we can find some ancient relics and the remains of a Dou Sheng, and refine them into a physical body, wouldn't it be a step to success and save you a lot of time?"

Xiao Yuan was shocked by this hasty idea and quickly suggested.

"The remains of the Fighting Saint? You are so greedy, how is this possible?"

Yao Lao did not expect that Xiao Yuan's plan had been so big, and he said with a bit of a smile.

"Teacher, everything depends on human efforts. Before I said goodbye to Elder Feng, I asked him to pay attention to this matter. But now, I have to ask Aunt Xuan and the two seniors Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi to use your connections to look for clues. In fact, if I didn't know that it is impossible to find the remains of the Dou Emperor in this world, I would have hoped to use materials of that level to help you restore your body.

It is conceivable that even if Xiao Yan and I work together, it will be difficult to refine the body of the Dou Emperor."

Xiao Yuan said with a wry smile.

"You may be greedy, but you are doing this for your teacher, Yao Chen. You are a really good disciple!"

The look Xuan Kongzi gave Xiao Yuan at this moment was as if he had seen a treasure, and his tone was filled with admiration as well as envy.

"Yeah, he's a good kid!"

Tian Leizi was always a man of few words, but he also spoke in praise.

"You've already finished talking!" Xuan Yi shook his head helplessly, then looked at Xiao Yuan and said softly, "By the way, I have already covered up the matter of you refining the elixir just now, but Yao Chen's identity is not easy to expose, so I said you are my disciple, but I didn't have time to ask for your opinion."

As Xuan Yi spoke, he glanced at Yao Lao twice.

Yao Lao didn't dare to have any opinion, otherwise Xuan Yi's eyes would turn red and the little pearl would fall, and he would be in a panic and at a loss on the spot.

"I am already very satisfied that Aunt Xuan doesn't think I am causing you trouble. How could I mind such trivial matters? You and the teacher have a close relationship. I am the teacher's disciple, so naturally I can also be your disciple."

Xiao Yuan showed a well-behaved smile and said with a grin.

"Haha, you are quite sensible little guy. You can sit in my seat from now on!"

Xuan Yi rubbed Xiao Yuan's head lovingly and said with a smile.

"Aunt Xuan, forget about this. I can't do anything about it!"

Xiao Yuan's face fell.

"You, kid, are just as lazy as your teacher was back then. I'm not planning to abdicate now, so what are you afraid of?"

Xuan Yi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then glared at Yao Lao fiercely.

Meaning: "Look at what you have done to your good child."

Yao Lao's face was full of innocence.

This is completely unfair to him. Xiao Yuan is a lazy person by nature unless he has no choice.

To put it bluntly: You want to show off by using a title? Sure! But you have to take the trouble to manage it? No!
"Alas, it's you who has gained such an outstanding disciple for nothing!"

Xuan Kongzi sighed on the side.

"Humph, what are you hinting at? If you have the guts, reincarnate as a woman and become Xiao Yuan's mistress!"

Xuanyi is in a very good mood now and dares to say anything.

Even though Yao Lao was in the form of a ghost, he couldn't help but feel his face getting hot, but his eyes didn't avoid the target.

After experiencing life and death, and so many ups and downs over the years, he has long since let it go.

Xuan Yi did have a close relationship with him back then, but because of Han Shanshan, he always felt that something was missing in his heart. Now that he knows the truth about Han Shanshan's disappearance, his knot in his heart has been untied. Although now is not a good time to talk about love, at least he will no longer hide and refuse to accept Xuan Yi's feelings.

"I can't even remember the last time you spoke like that!"

Xuan Kongzi also sighed when he heard this.

Ever since Yao Chen left Danta, Xuan Yi seems to have become a different person. She used to be a fierce girl!
"Hmph, just in time. This alchemy meeting is a good opportunity. Let the news spread and say that Xiao Yuan is my disciple. It can also cover up for Yao Chen."

Xuan Yi ignored Xuan Kongzi's sigh and said excitedly.

"Alchemy meeting? I'm not planning to attend, but Xiaoyan will. After all, one of us brothers has to inherit the title of the continent's number one alchemist."

Xiao Yuan said in a low voice after hearing this.

"Not participating? Never mind. It doesn't matter if you don't participate. With your strength, participating in the Dan Conference is simply bullying. But in this way, you have to inherit the title of the Three Giants of Danta. I don't want the people of the Soul Palace to hurt you. With this title, they will be more or less afraid of you."

Xuan Yi understood Xiao Yuan's thoughts after hearing this, but his expression became more serious.

She knew what Xiao Yuan meant to Yao Chen and Danta now, but precisely because of this, she had to provide more protection for Xiao Yuan.

Otherwise, if Xiao Yuan followed in Yao Chen's footsteps, then she, as his master's wife, would be derelict in her duty.

What's more, she is not a little girl anymore, so she naturally understands that the old guy Yao Chen thinks his two disciples are much more important than himself. As long as these two disciples really regard her as their master's wife, then she will naturally get this title, and correspondingly, Yao Chen will not be able to escape either!
As for Han Shanshan?
She and Han Shanshan actually have a very good relationship, so there won't be any problem getting along with each other in the future.

"However." Xuan Yi paused, then looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile, "The champion of the Alchemy Conference will become a candidate for the three giants of Danta. It doesn't matter if you don't participate in the Alchemy Conference, but you must host this Alchemy Conference as my successor!"

"what?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes widened when he heard this.

No, can it still be like this?
"Is that okay with you two?"

Xuan Yi turned his head and looked at Xuan Kong Zi and Tian Lei Zi.

"Haha, we are relieved to have a young man doing the job for us. Since he is Yao Chen's disciple and you have personally given the order, there will naturally be no problem."

The two looked at each other, and then Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.

"Would you like to discuss it further?"

Xiao Yuan felt a headache.

"Don't worry, it's not as troublesome as you think. We just want you to show up in public and let everyone know your identity. The elders will naturally be responsible for the specific matters."

Xuan Yi could tell at a glance what was bothering Xiao Yuan, glared at Yao Lao, and then explained.

"Oh, that's fine, I have no problem with that!"

Xiao Yuan's face suddenly became confident when he heard this, he raised his thumb and said seriously. (End of this chapter)
