During this month, Xiao Yuan's main task was to restore his own soul origin and practice martial arts and fighting skills.

Unfortunately, what came out of the storage rings of Chen Xian and the others were all rubbish martial arts and fighting skills, which Xiao Yuan looked down upon at all.

However, he already had a lot of fighting skills, so he didn't feel too regretful. What's more, Xuanyi gave him a set of soul hand seals, which could be used for fighting and alchemy.

In addition, there is a standard robe of Danta, which is a white robe embroidered with purple and gold patterns. The style is very classical, yet gorgeous. Obviously, this robe also represents a symbol of status.

It is said that in Danta, the clothes on the body are embroidered with purple and gold patterns, and only the standard robes of the three giants of Danta have this specification. Xuanyi is obviously not joking with Xiao Yuan, and he really wants to give Xiao Yuan the identity of one of the next generation of the three giants of Danta.

In addition, Yao Lao's ancient black storage ring, the Ancient Flame Ring, was also worn on Xuan Yi's hand. Then Yao Lao was "forced" to stay with Xuan Yi every day. Although he was embarrassed to say it, Xiao Yuan could see that Yao Lao's soul strength and mental state were much better when he was with Aunt Xuan.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, took part in the assessments of the five major families. He reached the spiritual realm and the level of an eighth-grade alchemist. He passed the assessments in a relaxed and enjoyable manner, showing off and slapping others in the face, shocking the entire audience and becoming invincible.

Since the assessment is semi-public in nature, many forces went to show their support, and they also wanted to make friends with the young people who performed well in the assessment. Of course, there were also some forces that wanted to replace the Ye family.

Unfortunately, in the end, they could only become witnesses of Xiao Yan's show of strength.

Many people also wanted to make friends with Xiao Yan, but fortunately, Xiao Yan returned directly to Danta after finishing the assessment. Although some powerful forces could still enter Danta to look for people, they were not qualified to enter the courtyard where Xuan Yi lived privately on the top floor.

This made Xiao Yan feel relieved.

However, the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was
"Xiao Yan, come out and spar with me!"

At the entrance of Xuanyi Courtyard, a graceful figure appeared. She walked straight in with light lotus steps.

The woman had a slender body and was wearing a black dress that revealed a hint of coldness and arrogance. Her skin was as white as snow and her three thousand black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her face was a little thin, but extremely delicate, like porcelain. Anyone who saw it would be attracted by this perfect face. Her narrow and slightly lazy eyes were full of enchantment and charm.

"Alas, I really don't have time to spar with you."

Inside the house, Xiao Yan walked out helplessly, looking at the witch in front of him and said helplessly.

This girl's name is Cao Ying. She is the most talented and skilled in alchemy among the younger generation of the Cao family among the five major families.

At the same time, she is also one of the candidates for the future Danta giant!

The former title might not be well-known, but the latter is enough to make countless people regard him as a high god, a Danta giant, a position of great power in the whole continent. Anyone who sits there will truly feel what tremendous power means.

Danta is the holy land in the hearts of all alchemists on the continent. It can even be said without exaggeration that the giants of Danta are the spiritual leaders in the hearts of countless alchemists. The appeal of Danta is unquestionable, and this appeal depends entirely on the will of the giants of Danta!
Cao Ying, the most outstanding genius in the history of the Cao family, one of the three giants of Danta, and the direct disciple of Xuan Kongzi. According to her current development trend, a hundred years later, she will definitely be a candidate for a Danta giant. Even if the opportunity arises, she can eliminate the so-called candidate quota. By then, she will become the youngest female giant since the establishment of Danta!
But with Xiao Yuan's example, Xiao Yan was not interested in this. After all, his third brother was indeed one of the top three giants of the next Danta.

As for why the two became connected, it all started with Xin Lan.

When the Ye family was in decline, they had no choice but to try to form a marriage alliance with the Cao family.

However, this matter has not been completely confirmed, and we have only had a preliminary exchange of opinions.

Of course, Ye Xinlan would not be willing to marry someone she didn't even know and didn't like, so Ye Zhong sent her to Canaan College, where she met the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.

Before coming to Shengdan City some time ago, Cao Dan, the one from the Cao family who almost had a marriage contract with Ye Xinlan, once came to the Ye family to cause trouble, but was stopped by Xiao Yan.

As expected, Xiao Yan was also targeted. Since Cao Dan's skills were not as good as others, he could only tell tales and also told Cao Ying about it.

However, Cao Ying was not interested in this matter, and everything should have been peaceful.

It just so happened that Xiao Yan had already broken through to become an eighth-grade alchemist. Even when he was holding back his soul power for the test, he still broke all the records that Cao Ying had left behind.

This is actually a very common thing.

But combined with what happened with Cao Dan before, it seemed like Xiao Yan was provoking the Cao family.

In addition, Cao Ying has always been a favored girl, and this is the first time she has met someone who can surpass herself. Although the person who surpassed her was only her former self, it is undeniable that Xiao Yan did arouse her interest.

So she had a competition with Xiao Yan in the assessment, but Xiao Yan learned from her in front of her and learned a soul handprint that she had practiced. He even used the replica of the soul handprint to inflict higher damage than hers and slapped her away.

Although she is proud and competitive, she is not someone who cannot afford to lose. Therefore, although she has some resentment towards Xiao Yan's performance, she is more curious about this strong rival.

What she liked most was not that she was invincible, but that she could really meet some opponents who were qualified for her to take action. Dan Chen was one of them in the past, but that girl was usually hidden very well by the Dan family, for fear of any accidents. Unless it was a big deal, she would generally not leave the Dan family. Therefore, when she finally caught Xiao Yan, she was really very excited. Well, she was delighted to see the prey.

After returning to Danta, he mentioned this matter to Xuan Kongzi, who happened to tell him that Xuan Yi had a disciple. So Cao Ying immediately linked the turmoil caused by Xiao Yuan to Xiao Yan, and then got involved with Xiao Yan.

And today is her third time here.

The first two times, Xiao Yan was refining medicine once and deliberately letting the opponent win the other time, so the game ended in a draw.

Given Cao Ying's personality, she would certainly not let it go.

What's more, all the men Cao Ying met in the past, no matter whether they were outstanding or mediocre, would inevitably have some emotional fluctuations when they saw her, but Xiao Yan was different. Xiao Yan even felt that her entanglement was a bit annoying.

This huge sense of gap also made Cao Ying feel a little uncomfortable, but it was only a little.

More importantly, he was upset at Xiao Yan's disrespectful behavior of deliberately letting him win as a way of expressing his apology.

It's not like she can't afford to lose. Who is she looking down on by letting the opponent win?

Now that the Dan Conference is about to begin, she naturally can’t help but come again!

When she heard Xiao Yan say that he didn't have time to spar with her, she became a little annoyed, and a dangerous curve slowly formed at the corner of her slender lips.

The moment this arc was raised, that thin and charming face suddenly became full of charm.

"No time? If you really don't have time, you wouldn't have come out in person. Just play a game with me. It will be quick!"

Cao Ying could tell that Xiao Yan's words were obviously perfunctory, so she took action immediately. Her soul power surged, with a hint of undetectable spirituality.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Is this a test? Or is it for real?

Taking a deep breath, her plump chest rose and fell. Cao Ying stretched out her hands, each forming a strange hand seal, and then their hands changed rapidly as if fighting each other.

As the hand seals on his hands changed, majestic and unparalleled soul power began to linger between his palms. A strange soul pressure made Xiao Yan raise his brows. Although this soul hand seal was still the same one as before, it had a direct qualitative change due to the spiritual power. An ordinary seventh-grade advanced alchemist could not handle it!

But... Xiao Yan did not waste his time these days. He actually also had the Soul Hand Seal. Xuan Yi would certainly not be partial. Since he gave one to Xiao Yuan, he would naturally give one to Xiao Yan as well.

However, Xiao Yan was busy consolidating himself and naturally did not have the time to practice it before the assessment of the five major families.

But after seeing the power of this thing, Xiao Yan naturally would not neglect it and took time out to practice it.

During this period, he had communicated and confirmed with Xiao Yuan. Now, he can naturally use this kind of soul skill with ease!
"boom!"

Cao Ying's handprints, which changed like lightning, suddenly froze. At this moment, her hands maintained a strange seal. Ordinary people would be confused at a glance, because this seal had absolutely no connection with some seals in fighting skills. After the handprint was formed, Cao Ying smiled lightly, and then she suddenly pushed out her left hand!

As the hand seal moved, a powerful palm print rushed out like a tiger descending from the mountain, and a low tiger roar sounded in the courtyard.

The invisible and powerful palm print rapidly enlarged in Xiao Yan's pupils, and his hair and robe were blown back continuously at this moment.

However, Xiao Yan formed seals in a faster and simpler way, and before Cao Ying's powerful palm print fell, he also condensed a glowing soul seal and slapped it out.

"Oh!"

Invisible ripples surged out like waves. Xiao Yan's body shook and he withstood the impact.

"Crash!"

Invisible soul ripples swept out from the point of collision and spread out. The mutual collision of soul power at this level was enough to destroy the surrounding buildings.

"Hey, you have to be careful when sparring!"

Just before the surrounding walls and houses were almost shattered, a helpless voice rang out, and invisible soul power spread like a tide, easily annihilating the aftermath of the confrontation between the two.

Xiao Yuan, dressed in a standard white robe, walked back from outside the courtyard.

He had just attended the elders' meeting of Danta. To be honest, it was not interesting. The Danta elder he met at the Alchemist Trade Fair said that he would discuss the issue of his murder in Shengdan City with the elders at the elders' meeting. However, when Xiao Yuan stood next to Xuanyi and Xuanyi announced his identity, the elder was speechless.

What are you saying?

He is a disciple of the Three Giants and the next Three Giants of Danta. According to his status and rules, he has to bow when he sees Xiao Yuan.

What else is there to say? If you really don't use your brains to cause trouble for others, it will become like: Who are you in this hall and why are you suing me?

As for whether the elders are convinced by Xiao Yuan?
Xuan Yi said: "If you can refine an eighth-grade elixir with seven-color pill thunder in your early twenties and can compete with a five-star Dou Zun, then I can give my position to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was certain that this handsome young man was the mysterious alchemist who had caused a sensation in Shengdan City some time ago.

Before, everyone thought that Xuan Yi’s claim that he had a disciple was an excuse, but now, wow, this is a dormant dragon in the abyss, who may not make a sound unless he does!

As for whether Xiao Yuan could defeat a five-star Dou Zun, none of them had ever seen it, but they would not question it.

Because there is no need for Xuanyi to exaggerate and discredit himself.

In this way, all the elders became obedient.

Therefore, things went smoothly, and it was confirmed that Xiao Yuan would preside over this alchemy meeting. Everything else remained the same, and the elders only needed to follow the procedure.

Xiao Yuan, who had just returned from a meeting, happened to see the house being demolished and stopped it.

"Brother, you are back."

Xiao Yan retracted his fierce soul power, walked towards Xiao Yuan with a smile and greeted him.

"Well, I'm back."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

Cao Ying couldn't help but frowned as she watched the two brothers acting as if they were alone. But she soon discovered that Xiao Yuan's white robe was actually dotted with some purple-gold patterns and decorations!

"Are you the disciple of the senior Xuan Yi that Master mentioned?"

Xuan Kongzi naturally did not tell Cao Ying about Yao Lao's affairs. He just mentioned the relationship between Xiao Yuan and Xuan Yi and asked her to make friends with him. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, she and the handsome man in front of her, who amazed her, would both be one of the three giants of Danta in the future.

"Brother, this is the genius from the Cao family that I mentioned before, Cao Ying."

Xiao Yan introduced.

The first two times Cao Ying came to the yard, Xiao Yuan was in seclusion practicing, so naturally he had no interaction with Cao Ying.

This is the first time we meet.

"Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Xiao Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and bowed.

"Cao Ying."

Cao Ying didn't really like these polite words and responded with a smile.

"I heard that you have refined a pill that produces seven-colored thunder?"

Cao Ying continued to ask.

"Yes."

Xiao Yuan nodded.

"I can't refine the Seven-Colored Pill Thunder Pill. You are very strong!"

A serious look appeared in Cao Ying's eyes as she spoke in a deep voice.

From the aura of spiritual energy in Xiao Yuan's soul power that he did not conceal just now, she could already tell that Xiao Yuan's soul power was far superior to hers!
"I told you before that my brother is Senior Xuanyi's disciple. You didn't believe it, but you should believe it now, right?"

Xiao Yan sighed.

"What happened between us has nothing to do with this." Cao Ying shook her head, swayed towards Xiao Yan, and said with a smile, "I know you are holding back. I will have a good fight with you at the alchemy conference! Xiao Yan, don't let me down!"

A faint fragrance accompanied by the opening and closing of Cao Ying's red lips came towards him. Xiao Yan looked at the enchanting face so close to him. While his heart was rippled, he also became a little alert. He smiled calmly and said, "I will naturally do my best in the alchemy meeting, but it's not to disappoint you."

"Haha, your answer is really unexpected. I can't even continue. Goodbye, we'll see you at the Dan Club!"

Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan deeply with her beautiful eyes, and a charming arc appeared at the corner of her lips. She then turned around and walked out of the yard, leaving Xiao Yan with a lazy and proud figure.

Looking at that pretty figure, Xiao Yan also let out a sigh of relief. Although he seldom thought about matters between men and women, he could not help but be influenced by his third brother.

Therefore, he naturally understood that since Cao Ying was so interested in him now, it was difficult to say how their relationship would develop in the future.

No matter what, it is better to stay away from them. (End of this chapter)
