People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 175 Everything is done, ready to go.
Meeting the intense gazes of the three, Little Fairy Doctor gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead.

"What, have I changed a lot?"

A joke brought the three of them back to their senses.

Zi Yan couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that everyone was concerned about first.

"Sister Xian'er, how strong are you now?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor chuckled. She felt incredibly good. The Calamity Poison Body that had troubled her for many years was completely under her control the moment the poison pill condensed within her body.

From then on, she no longer had to worry about accidentally causing any casualties due to the outbreak of poison.

The Calamity Poison Body will no longer be a double-edged sword, but will truly become a weapon that only she can control!
"After condensing the poison pill, I advanced to the Dou Zun level, and I am now at the three-star Dou Zun level."

Facing the three of them, Little Fairy Doctor made no attempt to hide anything.

Upon hearing this, both Cao Ying and Zi Yan gasped in shock.

Compared to before she condensed the poison pill, Little Fairy Doctor has actually improved by a whole major realm!

Such a dramatic increase is truly baffling.

Chen Xiao was equally astonished. This was the terrifying power of the Calamity Poison Body. Its speed of improvement was something he couldn't match even with his cheat codes.

However, after this upgrade, Little Fairy Doctor will not be able to increase her strength so much at once in the future. Next, it will be time for him and Zi Yan to catch up.

“A three-star Dou Zun, as far as I know, there are several pavilion masters of the Four Directions Pavilion with this strength. Xian’er is already strong enough to establish her own sect.”

Having condensed the poison pill, Little Fairy Doctor has escaped her fate and will no longer harm herself or others. However, to truly and perfectly control the Calamity Poison Body, she still needs to take the final step: to receive the inheritance of the poison body known to Yao Chen.

Of course, there's no rush; we can take our time.

In any case, from now on, Little Fairy Doctor will no longer be in any danger. Moreover, with the strength of a three-star Dou Zun, as long as she doesn't clash with forces like the Soul Palace like Xiao Yan did, she will be able to dominate the Central Continent.

Chen Xiao and the others have been busy with this for some time now. Now that Little Fairy Doctor's problem has been resolved, it's time to start working on her breakthrough.

"Chen Xiao, now that Sister Xian'er has condensed the Poison Pill, where do we go? Back to Saint Pill City?"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Yi Xian and Cao Ying also looked over.

Especially the latter, she knew Chen Xiao's plan. With the Little Fairy Doctor problem resolved, it was time to part ways.

Geniuses are often lonely, and Cao Ying is no exception.

"Let's skip Saint Pill City and take Ying'er to the Cao family instead. We've already come to the Pill Domain, it wouldn't be right not to visit the Cao family. Once we get there, Ying'er will have recovered by then. After that, we'll deal with the Heavenly Demon Puppet and then leave."

After a moment's consideration, Chen Xiao replied.

When Elder Cao Xi was in the Black Corner Region, he helped Chen Xiao a lot. Even Zi Yan's Transformation Pill was personally escorted by him.

Given his current relationship with Cao Ying, it's only right and wrong for him to make that trip.

In addition, the matter of contacting the Ancient Dragon of the Void might also be addressed through the Cao family.

Xiao Yixian and Ziyan had no objections, but Cao Ying's pretty face flushed slightly, though she did not refute them.

The conditions she and Cao Xi agreed to in the Northwest Continent were unknown to outsiders, but the Cao family knew them very well.

With that, the four of them made up their minds and, without saying goodbye to Ye Zhong, took off into the sky and left without saying farewell.

Only after the four disappeared into the distant horizon did the Ye family realize what was happening and head to the Yang Fire Ancient Altar to investigate.

"Elder, the Yang Fire has truly recovered!"

After some attempts, the Second Elder of the Ye family was overjoyed to see the sudden appearance of Yang Fire.

In contrast, Ye Zhong looked somewhat lost and dejected.

Even if Yang Huo is restored, what good will it do? In just a few years, how can the Ye family cultivate a genius who can compete with the younger generation of the other four major families? In the end, they will still have to place their hopes on outsiders.

Moreover, the Blackfire Sect is also a problem.

"Send a message to Xinlan and tell her to keep an eye out."

...

Seven days later.

Hanhai City.

Compared to the other major families who directly named their cities after their surnames, the Cao family's headquarters is somewhat unique.

The reason is quite simple.

"The Grand Elder said that Caocheng didn't sound good, so he changed the name."

"The Cao family is in a much better situation than the Ye family. My father's name is Cao Yang. He is only a two-star Dou Zong, and he doesn't like to get involved in things. He serves as a leisurely elder in the Cao family. My mother is only at the peak of Dou Huang. In addition to my father, the Cao family has six other Dou Zong experts and one guest Dou Zun. This is the Cao family's strength on the surface. As for whether there is anything hidden in the dark, to be honest, I don't know. I rarely ask about these things."

Emerging from the wormhole, Cao Ying led the three toward the Cao family home, introducing them to the outside world.

Along the way, Chen Xiao and his two companions noticed that their group attracted a 100% attention rate.

The team's good looks are one aspect, but the main reason is that almost everyone here knows Cao Ying.

This enchantress's status in Hanhai City is similar to that of Xiao Yan in Wutan City when he first condensed his Dou Qi vortex.

Listening to Cao Ying's introduction, the four of them arrived at the outside of a magnificent manor in the city center in about ten minutes.

At this moment, on the open ground outside the manor, nearly a hundred figures stood densely packed together!
Clearly, the Cao family had already received word of their arrival.

Seeing the Cao family's impressive display from afar, not only were Chen Xiao and his two companions speechless, but even Cao Ying was astonished.

She had always known that the family valued Chen Xiao and his companions highly. Cao Xi had given them instructions many times when they first went to the Northwest Continent, but the current situation still exceeded her expectations.

As they got closer, the four of them could see the group of people waiting.

“The one standing at the very front, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold, is my sixth uncle, who is also the current head of the Cao family. The four people to his left are the First Elder to the Fourth Elder. You have met the Fourth Uncle before.”

"To the right of the patriarch, the one in the gray robe is called Venerable Kuyi, a one-star Dou Zun. The couple to the right are my father and mother."

"Behind them are the younger generation of the family, and some ordinary elders..."

Cao Ying said in a low voice.

The closer they got, the more astonished Chen Xiao and his companions became.

The Cao family's celebration is a bit too grand.

However, the difference in strength between the Cao family and the Ye family is immediately apparent; the Cao family is indeed at its zenith.

"Haha, Chen Xiao, you've finally arrived! I heard news from Saint Pill City a few days ago, and I guessed you would definitely come. We've been looking forward to it every day."

Upon approaching, Cao Xi, who was the most familiar with the family, spoke first. His enthusiastic manner surprised many of the younger members of the Cao family.

In their memory, the Fourth Elder was always stern and had a cold face all day long; he had never shown such joy before.

"Fourth Elder."

Chen Xiao bowed slightly in greeting.

Another glance at the group of people staring straight at him made him feel a headache coming on.

"Come, come, let me introduce you..."

"These kids are just here to watch the show, ignore them."

Soon, Cao Xi introduced all the elders and waved to dismiss the younger members of the Cao family.

They made a point of having these tribesmen come and show themselves, and they had some considerations in mind.

The Cao family is now thriving, and many of its younger members are naturally becoming arrogant, which could easily lead to trouble if they go out into the world.

Within the Dan Domain, it's one thing to provoke outsiders, as the Cao family could easily handle it. However, they absolutely cannot afford to cause a major blunder by harming their own people.

Therefore, this was an opportunity to let these clansmen recognize him, lest he jeopardize his future. Chen Xiao greeted each of the elders and was then led to the living room for further conversation. It wasn't until more than an hour later that he was finally settled in a quiet and elegant courtyard.

"Social interactions are really tiring. I really miss the days when I had Elder Hai to handle things back in the Black Corner Region."

"When you return to the Northwest and go to Sister Cailin's snake-people tribe, you'll have to experience it again."

Zi Yan, who had been watching the whole thing with glee, kept bringing up topics that were best left unsaid.

Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile. "Before leaving the Black Corner Region, Cai Lin told me that you had a fiancée in the Central Continent and made a three-year agreement with her. I never expected that you were lying to her. If Cai Lin finds out, you will have to give her an explanation."

It was clear that Little Fairy Doctor had already figured out the truth from their previous conversation.

Chen Xiao didn't seem to care much about this.

The past was before and the present is now.

Now that Cai Lin's situation is irreversible, the lie is no longer a big deal; at most, it will be brought up from time to time to make fun of him.

"These are all minor matters. In comparison, I am more eager to see the outcome of contacting the Ancient Dragon Clan through the Ridge Dragon Lizard Clan."

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly in reply.

This is one of the reasons why he came to the Cao family.

There is no doubt that Zi Yan will inevitably return to Dragon Island.

Concealing her bloodline is not a long-term solution, and Zi Yan cannot remain unused indefinitely; that would not be in line with her personality.

Moreover, as Zi Yan's strength gradually increases, her senses will become more and more pronounced.

Under these circumstances, all Chen Xiao could do was to ensure that Zi Yan could safely contact Donglong Island.

During this period, Chen Xiao thought of many methods.

However, relying on the Cao family, or more precisely, on the Dan Tower, would be a relatively safe approach.

The three major races in the Warcraft world each have many subordinate races. The Nine Netherworld Clan has them, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has them, and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan naturally has them as well, although they are rarely mentioned in the original work.

During his previous conversation with the Cao family, Chen Xiao inquired about this matter in detail and finally learned about a little-known magical beast race called the Ridge Dragon Lizard.

Like the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Clan, this clan also possesses the bloodline of an ancient dragon. Through this clan, it may be possible to contact the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

However, Chen Xiao couldn't be sure whether the person he contacted would be from the Donglong Island faction.

Therefore, they asked the Cao family to help with the liaison.

The Cao family is backed by the Dan Tower. If they can contact Donglong Island, then everything will be fine.

If he manages to contact the other three Dragon Islands, Chen Xiao can find an excuse to get away with it and continue to hide Zi Yan. After all, the Pill Tower can't do anything about those three Dragon Islands.

Chen Xiao was quite clear about the strength of the Pill Tower; the three giants on the surface were only a part of its power.

The true essence of the Pill Tower lies within the Lesser Pill Tower.

And, that elusive and mysterious patriarch of the Pill Tower!

“The Ancient Dragon of the Void, the supreme beast, I never imagined that Zi Yan would have such an origin.”

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan only learned the name of her clan from Chen Xiao today. Although she had never actually confirmed it, she had a feeling that it was true.

The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void perfectly matched her expectations.

Thinking of this, the little dragon man became extremely smug.

"I knew it! My people must be extraordinary!"

After feeling smug for a while, Zi Yan belatedly realized a problem.

"If my people come, won't I have to be separated from you all?"

"It won't be that fast. The Ridge Dragon Lizard clan is in the Beast Domain. Let alone whether they can contact the Ancient Dragon Clan, even if they can, it will be at least several months before the Ancient Dragon Clan sends someone over. Besides, even if you go back, you can still come out," Chen Xiao said with a light laugh.

Hearing this, Zi Yan was finally completely relieved.

A few months is neither a long nor a short time; it's enough for them to travel to many wonders and scenic spots in the Central Plains.

...

Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.

Knowing that Chen Xiao had one last thing to do, Cao Ying brought an old man to the courtyard where Chen Xiao and the other two lived.

"Elder, Ying'er?"

Chen Xiao was slightly surprised to see the two people standing outside the door.

It's not surprising that Cao Ying came, but it's somewhat puzzling that the eldest elder of the Cao family came at this time.

Seeing Chen Xiao's confusion, Cao Ying smiled and explained, "Didn't you want to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet? I've been studying the refining method carefully these past few days. Refining this puppet is not as simple as condensing the poison pill for Sister Xian'er. With my current strength, I probably only have a 20% or 30% chance of success."

“It wasn’t easy for you to gather these materials, so this is a bit too risky. That’s why I invited the Grand Elder over, and I also wanted to hear your opinion. If you don’t mind, I’ll have the Grand Elder refine it for me.”

This elder of the Cao family is not only a high-level Dou Zong, but also a seventh-grade alchemist.

If he were to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, his chances of success would undoubtedly be much higher than Cao Ying's at the moment.

Chen Xiao understood Cao Ying's meaning. If this Grand Elder were to take action, it would mean that one more person would know the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After a moment's consideration, Chen Xiao nodded in agreement and handed the scroll to the other party.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder. This is the method for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Please take a look."

The Heavenly Demon Puppet is very useful and quite precious.

However, to create a top-quality puppet, the body, soul, and the fire used for refining are the most crucial elements.

Although this elder did not possess a different kind of fire, the puppet he crafted would be slightly inferior. However, Chen Xiao only intended to use this puppet to pay off his debts, and it would have no impact on the Heavenly Demon Puppet he was currently using.

"It is indeed a technique that can seize the heavens and create the world. Rest assured, I will not rashly pass it on to anyone without your permission."

The elder took the scroll, examined it, and then praised it, not forgetting to give his assurance.

Chen Xiao shook his head and chuckled: "Let the Cao family use it if they can. Ying'er is also an alchemist. With a Heavenly Demon Puppet by her side, dealing with pill lightning will be more convenient. Just don't spread this refining method widely."

Verbal promises are not very meaningful.

Moreover, puppets are ultimately external objects. Although Chen Xiao values ​​them, he doesn't regard them as his own private property.

The Grand Elder nodded emphatically.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao directly took out the body of the Old Man of Eagle Mountain, Mo Tianxing's soul, and a number of prepared metal materials and handed them over to him.

Faced with a choice between body and soul, Chen Xiao had no other option. He had originally planned to use the Earth Demon Old Ghost, but unfortunately, the opponent had self-destructed.

As for the metal materials, which were the icing on the cake, Chen Xiao collected a huge amount of them with the help of Zixiao Pavilion.

"You all go and rest. The courtyard is quite spacious. I can refine it here."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and pulled Cao Ying aside.

Immediately, he took out the letter he had entrusted to Cao Hui from his storage ring and asked him to find someone to deliver it.

After finishing the last small matter, Chen Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before coming to Zhongzhou, he had a lot of things to do.

The Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill requires refining, along with the Heavenly Demon Puppet, the dried corpse of a demonic beast, Little Fairy Doctor's condensed poison pill, and Zi Yan's matter, etc.

In order to deal with these matters, breakthroughs had to be postponed.

Now, all these trivial matters have finally been sorted out!
