Under the scorching sun, Xiao Yi Xian saw Chen Yang's eyes suddenly light up. How to describe those eyes? It was as if they could see through everything. She felt as if she were standing naked in front of Chen Yang, with no secrets left to hide.
At this moment, Chen Yang felt that the world before his eyes had undergone many changes. First was Xiao Yi Xian, who was attacking him. Previously, Chen Yang had only been able to spar with Xiao Yi Xian by relying on the absolute suppression of his Realm. Now, he could clearly see the trajectory of Xiao Yi Xian's attacks, the flaws in her moves, and even the direction in which her Dou Technique could be improved.
Seeing this, Chen Yang raised two fingers and flicked them lightly, sending both Xiao Yi Xian and her sword flying away.
"Ah!"
Xiao Yi Xian cried out in surprise, hurriedly spreading her Purple Cloud Wings to stabilize herself in the air, before quickly running over after landing.
"Husband, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Xiao Yi Xian asked worriedly.
Qing Lin, standing to the side, also ran over upon hearing this, looking at Chen Yang with a worried expression.
"It's likely that a portion of my sealed talent has been unlocked; it's nothing to worry about." Chen Yang waved his hand, offering a cliché but plausible excuse to explain the situation.
"Then, Husband, with your talent unlocked, will you be able to break through to the Dou Zong Realm soon?" Xiao Yi Xian's face lit up with joy.
"It should be within the next half year!" Xiao Yan approached. Next, he only needed to follow Xiao Yan into the Snake-People Tribe territory, and he would be able to successfully break through to the Dou Zong Realm. In reality, Chen Yang had been attempting to Cultivate towards the Dou Zong Realm recently, but the barrier between the Dou Huang and Dou Zong Realms was truly troublesome. Even with the top-tier talent of the entire Fighting Qi Continent, he still felt it would take some time to break through.
After discovering that hard work couldn't force a Breakthrough, Chen Yang simply gave up. If hard work couldn't compete with cheating, he might as well cheat!
"Young Master is truly amazing!"
After a month of recuperation, Qing Lin had filled out, her complexion was rosy, and her hair was soft. She was much cuter than the skinny little girl she had been a month ago.
"Thank you. Qing Lin also needs to work hard to Cultivate, and one day, she will become as strong as Young Master!" Chen Yang reached out and patted Qing Lin's head.
For Qing Lin, as long as there were snake-type Demonic Beasts around, she could keep getting stronger. Chen Yang planned to visit the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to have a chat once he reached the Dou Zun Realm at Jia Nan Academy.
If nothing else, in this Northwest region, the development of Qing Lin really depended on the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
"Hmm... Qing Lin will definitely work hard!" Qing Lin nodded seriously.
...
On Xiao Yan's side, after a month of suffering from broken bones and agony, and having saved the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group due to the plot line's correction, he finally arrived at Stone Desert City.
After arriving at the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and seeing his eldest brother and second brother, Xiao Yan's wounded heart finally warmed up.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother!"
"Eldest Brother, Third Brother!"
"Second Brother, Third Brother!"
"Eldest Brother..."
"Uh..."
After the three brothers got dead drunk, Xiao Li insisted on dragging Xiao Ding and Xiao Yan to swear an oath of brotherhood. As a result, while they were swearing, the three of them remembered that they were already blood brothers, and they all mocked Xiao Li.
After waking up the next day, Xiao Yan found his two brothers and chatted about what had happened since he left home.
"What?"
"Little Yan Zi, you are already a Five-Star Grandmaster?"
"You kid are something, you are already equivalent to Father's strength two years ago!" Xiao Li shouted.
"Hehe..."
"This is all Brother Yang's credit. Without him, I might at most be a Dou Practitioner now!" Xiao Yan did not dare to forget Chen Yang's kindness.
"That's true, Master Chen Yang, because of Uncle Xiao Yong's matter, loves our Xiao Family by extension!"
"You, Little Yan Zi, have also benefited from Uncle Xiao Yong!" Xiao Zhan definitely told his two sons about the Xiao Family's matters, and they knew these things were harmless.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, do you know? Father has successfully broken through to Dou Ling!" Xiao Yan looked at his two brothers and said with a smile.
"What?"
"Father actually broke through to Dou Ling?"
"That's great, now our Xiao Family might have a chance to return to the Imperial Capital!" Xiao Ding looked excited.
"This day won't be too far away. After I become a Dou Wang, I will start moving the Xiao Family back to the Imperial Capital!" With the two months of cultivation, Xiao Yan was now more and more confident that he would break through to Dou Wang before the Three-Year Agreement!
"Good, good, good, Little Yan Zi, keep it up. Eldest Brother and Second Brother will benefit from you in the future, hahaha..." Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, looking happy.
"By the way, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Brother Yang should have arrived in Stone Desert City one step ahead of me. Has he come to see you?" Xiao Yan remembered the matter of Chen Yang asking him to bring Medicinal Pills, so he asked Xiao Ding and the other.
The main thing was that Chen Yang didn't give him any Medicinal Pills. He couldn't just unscrew his own head and send it back to Xiao Yong, right? Wouldn't that scare Xiao Yong to death? Xiao Yan thought with a mischievous sense of humor.
"No!" Xiao Li shook his head.
"By the way, there is someone who might fit Master Chen Yang's characteristics!" Xiao Ding thought for a while and told Xiao Yan about the Sand Mercenary Group matter.
"That must be Brother Yang!"
"Let's go, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, let's go visit Brother Yang together!" Xiao Yan knew as soon as he heard it that this was definitely Chen Yang.
A man who came to Stone Desert City recently with a Demonic Beast that can grow big and small must be Chen Yang. After all, this secret technique of size manipulation was given out by Yao Lao.
"Alright, I'll arrange it!"
...
Around 10 AM, three young people appeared at the entrance of the Sand Mercenary Group.
People around looked and discovered it was the two leaders of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, and immediately started discussing.
"Could it be that the person who wiped out the Sand Mercenary Group has some relationship with the Mo Tie Mercenary Group?"
"Hiss... If that's true, then the decision I made back then was truly incredibly correct!"
"It's over, I refused Commander Xiao Li's invitation back then and joined another mercenary group. Now, isn't that finished..."
The three of them didn't pay attention to this and walked straight up to knock on the door. But just as their hands were raised, the door creaked open.
"Hi, big lion, we meet again!" Seeing the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Yan squatted down and reached out to pet it, but received an eye roll.
"Hey, you guy..." Xiao Yan lunged forward to chase it, but the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was faster and soon disappeared from his sight.
Xiao Yan had no choice but to walk inside with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li!
And the people outside saw the three of them enter the door easily, some happy and some worried. Some were excited to the point of flying, and some were beating their chests and stamping their feet, feeling that their lives were over...
...
After Xiao Yan entered the door, he saw Chen Yang teaching a young girl in green clothes a Dou Technique.
"You're here!"
"Qing Lin, go make tea!" Chen Yang looked at the three of them and nodded with a smile, then stopped his hand movements, reached out and patted Qing Lin's head, and told her to go make tea.
"Yes, Young Master!" Qing Lin nodded, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and turned to make tea.
"Brother Yang!" Xiao Yan bowed to Chen Yang.
"Greetings, Master Chen Yang!" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li dared not call him like that, so they bowed and called him Master.
"Alright, alright, every time we meet you are so troublesome, don't do this next time!"
"Sit!"
Chen Yang led the three to sit under a pavilion not far away, then looked at Xiao Yan: "Not bad, you've broken through another star in a month!"
Xiao Yan chuckled, touched his nose and said: "Hehe, lucky, lucky!"
Chen Yang was already immune to "Brother Lucky's" "lucky" word. After rolling his eyes at him, he asked: "How is the search for the Heavenly Flame going?"
Xiao Yan heard this, his face showing bitterness: "I have already searched two places on the map given by Old Hai, only the one in the west is left!"
Chen Yang nodded upon hearing this: "Recently, you should stabilize your aura a bit. Next month, I will accompany you to search!"
Xiao Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That's great, with Brother Yang here, even if Queen Medusa appears, this Heavenly Flame will be securely in hand!"
Chen Yang smiled and did not refute Xiao Yan's words. This Heavenly Flame was originally Xiao Yan's, so even without him, it would be secure.
And the reason he followed Xiao Yan was, on one hand, to trigger the System mechanism and Medusa who was about to evolve into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, and on the other hand, it was for the Fourth-Order Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake in the Magma Sea.
Although this snake is average, it is just right for Qing Lin now.
And the reason Chen Yang said to set off in a month was mainly because Qing Lin was about to break through to Dou Practitioner. Once Qing Lin became a Dou Practitioner, the probability of controlling the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake would be greater...
