Eternal madness

Chapter 177 Letters
"Greetings, Elder." Zhong Yan was very proper and bowed respectfully. Although he was the elder's son, the person in front of him was the real big shot of Yin Valley, and Zhong Yan could not afford to be careless.

"Oh dear, this isn't a valley, so please make yourselves at home. Come over and have some tea, and give me the letter too," Xiao Li said, waving his hand.

"Yes!" Zhong Yan handed several letters to Xiao Li, who then looked at three of them and found them to be of interest to him.

The first letter was from within his own valley, bearing the seal of his master's wife, Su Wanyin, the valley master.

The other two letters came from the Flower Sect and the Burning Flame Valley, respectively.

"Burning Flame Valley and Flower Sect? Heh, it must have been written by Tang Zhen and Hua Jin. Let's not rush to read it. Let's see what happened in the valley that required Master's wife to write a letter personally."

Xiao Li opened Yin Gu's letter and then carefully read through it.

"Hahaha, great, great, great!" Xiao Li stood up happily after finishing browsing.

"What's wrong, Elder?" Zhong Yan asked, puzzled.

"Hahaha, go back and ask your dad. He'll definitely know. This is great news!" Xiao Li couldn't help but smile.

The letter contained several points: back then, Xiao Kong emptied the ruins of the Thousand Demon Saint, and after the remains of the Thousand Demon Saint were divided up, Wang Ming personally refined a portion of the Dou Sheng remains into several portions of Dou Sheng essence.

The Heavenly Sound Elder took two portions of the Battle Saint Essence and went into seclusion. This Battle Saint Essence of the Thousand Demon Saint was much stronger than the Battle Saint Bone Marrow of the Demon Thunder Saint!

At his peak, the Thousand Demon Saint was a five-star Dou Sheng, and the marrow extracted from his bones contained incredibly pure energy.

With the help of this Dou Sheng essence, Elder Tianyin took another step forward and truly reached the Dou Sheng level! Elder Tianyin is now a one-star Dou Sheng.

Although he was only a one-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, Tianyin Elder was able to sweep away all enemies below Dou Sheng. Even if the opponent was a one-star Dou Sheng in the middle stage, Tianyin Elder was not afraid at all!
Having broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, Tianyin Elder's soul power underwent another transformation, becoming even stronger.

In addition to Tianyin Elder successfully entering the Dou Sheng level, Tianyinzi also took a crucial half-step with this Dou Sheng essence and advanced to the Half-Saint level!
One advanced semi-saint was promoted to Dou Sheng, and one peak nine-turn Dou Zun was promoted to semi-saint.

Currently, Yin Valley has a Dou Sheng and a Ban Sheng presiding over it, making it several levels stronger in terms of top-tier combat power. Then, at the Dou Zun level, there are Su Wanyin, Xiao Li, Wang Ming, Yun Yun, and various Dou Zun elders.

With its current size, Sound Valley has far surpassed Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley. Even Heavenly Nether Sect and Flower Sect cannot compare with Sound Valley now. Even Pill Tower and Soul Palace would have to think twice before making a move against Sound Valley.

A Dou Sheng is not a Half-Saint. Unless one has the absolute power to overwhelm another, no one would provoke a Dou Sheng force.

Xiao Li put the letter away and then showed it to Yu Han and Yu Rou.

Xiao Li then looked at the letter from Burning Flame Valley. Of all the Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Li was only familiar with Valley Master Tang Zhen. In fact, Xiao Li and Tang Zhen got along quite well, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them friends despite their age difference.

Xiao Li opened the letter and then browsed through it.

The letter contained a series of greetings from Tang Zhen, followed by thanks to Xiao Li for the pills he had given him at the Dou Sheng Ruins, which had significantly boosted his strength.

Afterwards, Tang Zhen tried the method Xiao Li had mentioned to add a trace of wood energy to fire-attribute battle qi. Tang Zhen had already succeeded halfway. He only needed to nurture it for a few more years for this trace of wood energy to be fully formed.

Tang Zhen can now become a legitimate alchemist.

The beginning was mostly Tang Zhen announcing good news to Xiao Li, such as that Tang Zhen had a daughter a few days ago, and that his daughter was quite talented. He asked Xiao Li if she had a son, and if so, they could arrange a marriage between them.

"Tsk, another arranged marriage. Don't make sure my son has a three-year contract later," Xiao Li complained.

Continuing to browse, Xiao Li found the following content quite interesting. Tang Zhen wanted Xiao Li's help to save someone, and if the treatment was successful, Tang Zhen was willing to offer the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations and a low-level Heavenly Rank fire-attribute fighting technique as a reward. "Hehe, this is interesting. So everyone wants me to save people? What exactly did the old guys at the Pill Tower offer? Why are they so unwilling to cooperate with the Pill Tower? But it's fine, I can prepare some things in advance. The person Burning Flame Valley needs to be treated."

"It should be the Fire Cloud Ancestor that Elder Su mentioned last time. Elder Su sensed him at the Space Trade Fair; he had successfully broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, but suffered severe injuries."

Xiao Li stroked his chin and said, then picked up Hua Jin's letter. Xiao Li wasn't very fond of Hua Jin. After all, she was willing to cooperate with the Tianming Sect for the position of sect leader. This kind of deal with a tiger was something Xiao Li didn't like.

Xiao Li vaguely remembered that Hua Yu seemed to have been injured by people from the Tianming Sect. The two Supreme Elders of the Hua Sect, Qing Xianzi and Hua Xianzi, had a grudge against Tianming Old Demon of the Tianming Sect.

How could the Flower Sect possibly join forces with the Heavenly Nether Sect? Aren't they afraid of being devoured?
Xiao Li opened Hua Jin's letter, glanced at it, and his lips twitched.

Hua Jin's letters were mostly filled with pleasantries and empty literary fluff, but Xiao Li still managed to see that Hua Jin wanted him to go to the Hua Sect to treat the sect leader, Hua Yu.

"Ancestor Huoyun, Hua Yu, tsk tsk tsk, quite interesting. In that case, we shall make a trip to Zhongzhou."

Xiao Li stood up, then carefully put away several key letters, and then tossed out several jade bottles, which flew to Zhong Yan's front.

"Here's your errand fee. Focus on your cultivation. I'm off now," Xiao Li said with a smile, and then left.

Zhong Yan was completely bewildered. Then he opened the jade bottle and saw that it was full of seventh-grade pills!
"These four grade-seven pills! Elder Xiao, you are truly... (extremely wealthy)!"

. . . . . .

Xiao Li returned to his courtyard house, where Yun Yun and Pei Yurou were playing with their child, while Pei Yuhan, who was heavily pregnant, was embroidering a bib for her baby.

"Yuhan, Yurou, I have good news to tell you!" Xiao Li walked over quickly with the letter in his hand.

A few minutes later,

"Both of the Supreme Elders have been promoted, that's wonderful!" Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou were both very happy. Not only were they born in the Sound Valley, but they were also descendants of the Sound Saint. Naturally, the prosperity of the Sound Valley was their primary goal.

Although the Pei sisters now bear the added burden of the Xiao clan, their joy at learning of Yin Valley's resurgence is beyond words.

"Alright, after Yuhan gives birth, I plan to go to Zhongzhou to visit Burning Flame Valley and Flower Sect." Xiao Li expressed his thoughts.

Pei Yuhan suddenly felt a pang of loneliness: "When are you leaving?"

Xiao Li naturally knew why Pei Yuhan was in low spirits: "Naturally, we will wait until Xue'er's full moon celebration before leaving. Xue'er's birth and full moon celebration are major events. Other things can be put aside for the time being, but Xue'er's matter cannot be put aside."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuhan's face lit up with joy, and she then gently stroked her belly.

Xiao Li and Pei Yuhan named their child Xiao Xue. Now that the due date is approaching, Xiao Li naturally knows the gender of the child. Xiao Li is overjoyed to have a daughter.

Now, including Xiao Xue, Xiao Li has two sons and a daughter.

"Oh dear, my husband, my stomach! Xue'er seems to be coming out!" Suddenly, Pei Yuhan felt a pain in her stomach.

"What! Someone come quick! Madam is about to give birth! Quickly, call the physician and Xiao Wan over too!" Xiao Li roared, and the entire Xiao family heard his voice.
