Chapter 61 Yao Chen!The night passed in silence, quietly in cultivation.
The next day, early morning.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, opened his eyes. Green flames were flowing in his eyes, making him look particularly strange. His soul perception swept outside the courtyard and he sensed two familiar auras.
"Uncle, are you so anxious? You got up so early in the morning to look for me." After muttering a few words to himself, Xiao Yun stood up and opened the gate.
Appearing before him were Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan, both looking a little nervous.
"Xiao Yun, I hope I didn't disturb you from resting so early. Your cousin's inability to practice has kept me awake at night, so I simply brought him to see you." Seeing Xiao Yun, Xiao Zhan explained a little embarrassedly.
"Haha, I understand. Uncle, please come in." Waving his hand, Xiao Yun made way and led the two into the yard.
After the three of them were all sitting on the stone benches in the yard, Xiao Yun spoke up, pretending to be ignorant: "Tell me, how did your fighting spirit dissipate?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly said, "It was one night a few months ago that I finally condensed the Dou Qi and became a Dou practitioner. Because it was late at night, I didn't practice the exercises, but went straight to sleep."
"But when I woke up the next morning, I found that my Dou Qi had dissipated, and even my cultivation level had regressed to the eighth level of Dou Qi. Afterwards, no matter how much I cultivated, my realm did not improve at all."
"Father also took me to see many doctors, but those quacks all said that there was nothing wrong with my body, but my cultivation had clearly regressed!"
At the end of his speech, Xiao Yan's voice sounded somewhat painful. Suddenly going from a genius to a loser dealt him a great blow mentally.
Xiao Yun nodded. Just like what was said in the original book, there was no problem with Xiao Yan's body, but Yao Lao had dissipated all the fighting spirit that Xiao Yan had cultivated.
Therefore, the old fellow Yao Lao must have awakened! Xiao Yun is not a rookie. Even if the soul body needs to absorb Dou Qi, it is not something that Xiao Yan, with his limited cultivation, can supply. Moreover, he can accurately control the Dou Qi at the eighth level, which is enough to prove that Yao Lao is testing Xiao Yan.
Hmm? Eight-stage fighting spirit?
Suddenly, Xiao Yun's face looked a little strange. How could it be the eighth stage of Dou Qi? Didn't the original novel say that there were three stages of Dou Qi? He scratched his hair in annoyance. He had never expected this plot to be so different from the original novel.
"Xiao Yun, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhan saw that his face looked a little strange and asked hurriedly with concern.
"Oh, it's okay." After a while, Xiao Yun came back to his senses and said to Xiao Yan: "I already understand, but after hearing what you said, I can't think of what the problem is. Keep your mind focused, I will use my soul power to check you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded quickly, closed his eyes slightly, and cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and handed it to Xiao Yun.
"I'm not taking your pulse, why are you giving me your hand?" Seeing Xiao Yan's outstretched hand, Xiao Yun was speechless. He ignored the hand and stood up and put his hand on his shoulder.
Xiao Yun closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly, a surge of soul power surged out, entered Xiao Yan's body from his palm, and began to explore without leaving any trace.
Xiao Yan just felt like he was sitting here naked, allowing Xiao Yun to watch him. He suppressed his shame and prayed in his heart that he could find out the problem with his body.
Xiao Zhan sat aside, not daring to breathe, looking at Xiao Yun expectantly. You know, Xiao Yun is a sixth-rank alchemist. If he can't find Xiao Yan's problem, then there is really nothing he can do.
Under their gaze, Xiao Yun's expression became more and more strange, because he actually found a white flame inside Xiao Yan's body!
Although it was a flame, it emitted a faint cold aura. It felt like his soul power was almost frozen when it just came into contact with it slightly.
Isn't this the Bone Spirit Cold Fire? What is the purpose of this old fellow Yao Chen putting a fire into Xiao Yan's body!
Just when Xiao Yun was still confused, suddenly an old voice came into his mind through his soul:
"My dear, please be patient. You must be familiar with the flame in your cousin's body, right? This is the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, which ranks eleventh on the Strange Fire List. If it erupts, there will probably be no living creatures within a hundred miles except you."
"This old guy dares to threaten me!" Xiao Yun's face became more and more uglier, and his aura surged throughout his body. Invisible soul power burst out from his eyebrows and enveloped the area.
"Stop looking, you can't find me. I just want to talk to you." The old voice continued to appear in his mind, but Xiao Yun ignored it and scanned the courtyard carefully with his soul power.
Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan in the courtyard felt a huge force surging out from the body of the young man in front of them, like a sleeping dragon waking up, pressing them so hard that they could not straighten their backs.
Xiao Yixian and Qinglin in the house were also feeling bad. Although they were farther away from Xiao Yun, their cultivation was lower and their bodies were weaker than Xiao Zhan and the others. They were already stunned by the momentum. "This fluctuation? It's Master Xiao!" Hai Bodong, who was in the back mountain of Xiao's house, also felt this aura. He looked at the house below, and his figure flashed, turning into a stream of white light and shooting towards Xiao Yun.
But Xiao Yun now had no time to pay attention to the actions of others. His huge soul power swept across Xiao Yan's body, even the ring on his finger was not spared, but he did not detect any trace of Yao Chen.
"This old fellow has the strength of a Dou Zun, yet he hid himself so well that there is no trace of him at all." After a while, Xiao Yun withdrew his surging soul power and searched for a long time. Apart from the spark of fire in Xiao Yan's body, he could not find any trace of Yao Chen.
Although he felt that Yao Chen should be hiding in the black ring, he could not find any trace of him. He had to retract his soul power and prepare to have a good chat with the old man.
Waving his hand to stop Xiao Zhan who was about to ask, Xiao Yun wrapped the fire with his soul power and said in a voice transmission: "Senior, do you know how my cousin Xiao Yan offended you? I want to put a strange fire into his body."
Suddenly, a wave appeared in the flames, and a somewhat pale flame figure appeared and said:
"Your cousin has not offended me, but I am a little sorry for him. I placed the strange fire in his body only for his own safety. I hope you don't mind."
"I want to discuss a deal with you, but there are so many people around, so it's not convenient for me to show up and talk to you. How about we meet at midnight tonight in the back hill of your Xiao family?"
"Okay, I will welcome you at the back mountain at midnight tonight. As for the strange fire in my cousin's body, I hope you will treat it with care."
"Don't worry, I've been playing with fire all my life, and I can still control this level of heat. To show my sincerity, I won't absorb any more of your cousin's fighting spirit."
After saying this, the flame man disappeared, and the bone spirit cold fire suspended in Xiao Yan's body returned to calm.
"This old guy, what kind of sincerity is this!"
Xiao Yun cursed in his heart, then let out a light breath and slowly opened his eyes. He saw that Xiao Zhan and the other person who were originally sitting in the courtyard were now lying on the stone table. Their faces were terrified and their backs were soaked with sweat.
"I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't notice you just now." Xiao Yun quickly helped the two up and apologized.
"No..., it's okay, we are fine. The Dou Wang strongman is really too terrifying. Just the oppression of your aura is enough for me to resist." Xiao Zhan said with a look of fear.
"Cousin, is there something wrong with my body?" Xiao Yan, who had come back to his senses, asked hurriedly. Just now, Xiao Yun had burst out with such a powerful aura, and he was very worried that it was caused by his physical condition.
"No, your body is fine now. The Dou Qi you cultivate now should not dissipate inexplicably." Xiao Yun replied. Xiao Yan's inability to cultivate Dou Qi was simply due to Yao Chen's doing. The old guy had just said that he would no longer absorb it. There was nothing wrong with Xiao Yan's body either, so he would definitely be able to cultivate Dou Qi again.
“Hahaha, thank you cousin.” Xiao Yan’s face showed surprise and joy when he heard that. He was finally able to practice Dou Qi again. Although his cultivation had regressed to the eighth level of Dou Qi, with his talent he would be able to return to being a Dou Zhe again in a year at most. This was much better than cultivating without making any progress in his entire life.
"Uncle, please invite other forces in Wutan City today. I have something to announce in the evening." After solving Xiao Yan's physical problem, Xiao Yun spoke to Xiao Zhan.
"Okay, I'll send them the invitations later. Xiaoyun, we'll leave first."
After solving the problem, Xiao Zhan and his son, in a good mood, said goodbye. Judging from their looks, they couldn't wait to go back and conduct some experiments.
"Master Xiao, is nothing wrong here? What was that momentum just now?" Not long after they left, Hai Bodong flew over and landed directly in the courtyard. Looking at Xiao Yun who was sitting on the stone bench, he asked uncertainly.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Hai. I was just checking my cousin's body and accidentally released my aura." Xiao Yun said with a smile while sitting on the chair.
"Oh, Hai Lao, my Xiao family is going to host a banquet for other forces in Wutan City tonight. I hope you will show up at that time. I would like to invite you to be a guest of my Xiao family. The reward is the Fu Zi Ling Dan that can restore your strength."
"Fu Zi Ling Dan?" Hai Bodong looked puzzled, obviously not knowing the effect of this pill.
"This is a fifth-grade elixir. Although its grade is not very high, the herbs required for it are quite hard to find. Its effect is that it can completely restore the strength that has declined due to seals or internal injuries, and there are no sequelae."
"This pill must be very suitable for Hai Lao. After taking it, you will be able to return to your peak period." Xiao Yun smiled faintly and introduced the effects of the Fu Zi Ling Dan.
"There is actually such a magical pill. If the effect is really as you said, I am willing to be a guest of the Xiao family." Hai Bodong licked his lips. Although he has cracked the seal now, he is only a two-star Dou Huang, and his peak strength is a five-star Dou Huang. If he wants to practice on his own, it will probably take ten years, but now he only needs a pill.
Anyway, he had already placed all his hopes on Xiao Yun, so it wouldn't hurt to be a guest official of the Xiao family.
"Thank you, Mr. Hai. I'm still short of some medicinal materials for the Fu Zi Ling Dan. I'll make it for you when we go to the imperial capital." Xiao Yun smiled faintly. He was not surprised by Hai Bodong's choice. Only a fool would not do that if he could restore his strength by serving as a guest official.
