Battle Through the Heavens: Top Talent

Chapter 101 Gama Holy City, Xiao Family

After obtaining the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, Xiao Yun and his two companions headed straight for the Jia Ma Empire. Although the two places were far apart, fortunately, all three were experts above the Dou Wang level. With the help of their Dou Qi Wings, they flew in a straight line through the sky and finally returned to the Jia Ma Empire after a month.

Actually, at the speed of the three of them, it wouldn't have taken them a month to fly. But Ziyan, that troublesome child, kept dragging Xiao Yun and the other two to look for medicinal herbs during the flight. Along the way, she obtained more than twenty high-grade medicinal herbs, and she couldn't stop smiling.

"Xiaoyun, is the city ahead your family's territory?" High above the clouds, Ziyan excitedly gazed at the majestic city that was faintly visible ahead and shouted loudly.

"Hmm." Xiao Yun nodded slightly, looking at the magnificent city in front of him, feeling a little emotional. The Xiao family had finally returned to the Holy City of Gama.

Several years ago, when Xiao Yun became a sixth-grade alchemist, the Xiao family began preparing to move back to Jia Ma Holy City. During this period, they also asked for Xiao Yun's opinion, and of course, he did not object.

After all, if the Xiao family encountered trouble in Jia Ma Holy City, given his reputation as a sixth-grade alchemist, Hai Bodong and Xing Tian would definitely lend a helping hand.

"As expected of your family's city, I've already sensed many precious medicinal herbs. When we find them, we'll each take half!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yun glanced at Zi Yan's expectant face, reached out and rubbed her little head, and laughed, "What you did wasn't looking, it was stealing! Those medicinal herbs are treasured by other people's powerful families."

Ahead lies the Holy City of Jiama, not the Monster Mountain Range. The medicinal herbs that Zi Yan can sense are 100% from the treasuries of forces like the Yunlan Sect and the Jiama Royal Family.

"Hmph, they're just sitting in the house and not used. What's wrong with me taking them? I'm useful! I'm going to eat them to grow up!" Zi Yan's expectant face instantly fell as she said unhappily.

"Alright, alright, they'll grow by eating these, but you don't need to go get them. Just watch, when they see I'm back, they'll bring the herbs to me. I'll take what I need, and the rest are yours."

Seeing Zi Yan's unhappy expression, Xiao Yun shook his head with amusement and immediately made a promise.

"Really?" Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Zi Yan's face was full of disbelief. Why would someone take the initiative to deliver medicinal herbs to her door? If this is true, then why has no one ever delivered them to her in all these years?

"Of course it's true." Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly and said softly, "Have you forgotten? He's a seventh-grade alchemist. As long as he shows his skills, people from all those powerful factions will want to get on his good side. And if you want to get on the good side of an alchemist, of course you have to send him medicinal herbs."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's face showed a look of realization. She had this much common sense, after all, she herself often sent medicinal herbs to Xiao Yun to refine pills.

During their conversation, the three of them arrived above the Holy City of Gama. With his eyes slightly closed, Xiao Yun's soul power surged from between his brows, quickly scanning the city below. After a while, he already knew the exact location of the Xiao family.

"Found it, come down with me for a walk." Xiao Yun opened his eyes, smiled at the two beautiful women, one tall and one short, beside him, and then landed directly in the city.

……

The central location of Gama Holy City is home to the alchemists' holy land, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mittel Auction House, which rakes in huge sums of money every day. It is the most prosperous area, and every inch of land here is worth its weight in gold!

Between these two houses, there is a rather large courtyard. On its gate, there is a brand-new plaque with two large, elegant characters, which attracts passersby to stop and look. They are eager to enter, even if it means becoming guards.

There's no other reason than that this is the Xiao family! The family of Xiao Yun, the only sixth-grade high-level alchemist in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

"Xiaoyun, is this your home? There are so many people here."

When Xiao Yun and his two companions arrived at the gate, Zi Yan was somewhat surprised to see the crowd gathered outside.

"They're all just people who want to join the Xiao family." Xiao Yun shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and the crowd that had been watching was parted by his fighting spirit, and then he strode through the crowd toward the Xiao family's gate.

As they approached the entrance, two fully armed men stopped them, saying in gruff voices, "Gentlemen, this is the Xiao family, the home of Master Xiao Yun. Do you have an invitation to enter?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun and the other two were all taken aback. Zi Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Xiao Yun, is this really your family? Why do you need a visiting card to come back?"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly and silently watched Xiao Yun.

"Ahem, take a good look at me. Do I still need a visiting card?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yun was also a little embarrassed. He should have just flown in directly.

One of the burly men had a bad feeling when he heard Zi Yan say "Xiao Yun". Now that Xiao Yun said it, he immediately took out a scroll from his pocket. After carefully comparing it, an absurd idea suddenly popped into his mind, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"You are...you are...Young Master Xiao Yun?" The burly man, who was originally broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, turned pale with fright and began to stammer.

"Hmm." Xiao Yun nodded slightly. He was thirteen years old when he last came back. After four years of development, it was normal that the guards of the Xiao family did not recognize him.

Upon seeing Xiao Yun nod slightly, the two burly men immediately knelt down, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and said respectfully, "Young Master Xiao Yun! We deserve to die for not recognizing you immediately."

"It's alright." Xiao Yun waved his hand, lifted the two of them up, and didn't blame them. His tone was calm: "Can I go in now?"

"Please come in!" The two burly men quickly stepped aside and bowed.

Even after Xiao Yun and his companions had walked away, the two burly men still dared not raise their heads, remaining bowed at the courtyard gate. The crowd outside, however, erupted in uproar. These people were all cultivators who had clearly heard Xiao Yun and his companions' conversation, and the guards' actions confirmed one thing for them:

"Xiao Yun is back!"

……

After entering the courtyard, Xiao Yun and his two companions walked along the path for a while, when suddenly a large group of people appeared before them. The leaders were none other than Xiao Zhan and the three elders.

"Hahaha! Xiao Yun, you're back!" Xiao Zhan laughed heartily and walked quickly to Xiao Yun with the three elders, each of them with undisguised joy on their faces.

Xiao Yun was already a Dou Wang powerhouse four years ago. Now that he has returned, it means that the Xiao family's overall strength will be greatly enhanced, and they will be able to have more say in Jia Ma Holy City. How could they not be happy?
