Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 75 Return to the Pill Tower

"It's a long story, so let's not get into it now."

Xiao Shaobei emitted bursts of light from his palm, protecting the soul of the Yin Yang Evil Saint.

"Come back to the Xiao Clan with me first. There is a Soul Nourishing Ground in the clan that can help you restore your soul power."

The Yin-Yang Evil Saint nodded slightly and said nothing more.

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Shaobei turned to look at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "I have fulfilled my promise."

Xiao Shaobei nodded slightly, and a crack suddenly appeared in the space in front of him.

"Consider this a favor I owe you." He smiled slightly at Xiao Yan, took a step, and disappeared into the space.

"To make the clan leader owe someone a favor." Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao Yan with envy.

The favor bestowed by a nine-star Dou Sheng is immense, indicating that the future Emperor's son will have a powerful supporter in the core of the Xiao clan after he becomes a Dou Sheng.

"It's just a favor from a lowly nine-star Dou Sheng." Xiao Yan revealed a barely suppressed smile.

The gains this time have been tremendous.

The Yin-Yang Evil Saint possesses abilities that can aid in dual cultivation, the evolved Yin-Yang Sacred Flame that can also assist in dual cultivation, and the favor of a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

With the inheritance of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint, Xiao Yan's anticipation for his journey to the Northwest Continent to find beauties—no, for a different kind of fire—was further fueled.

"Young Master, what's our next step?" Xiao Wen looked at Xiao Yan.

"Let's head back to the Pill Tower next," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

After returning to Dan Tower and preparing for a while, we can head to the Northwest Continent.

Deep within the Medicine Clan, the Medicine Spirit sat quietly in her palace. Her beautiful face was serene and aloof, and her snow-white skin glowed with a shimmering light, making her resemble a beauty sculpted from white jade.

As her long eyelashes trembled, a powerful soul energy slowly began to form. After breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, her soul power increased once again, reaching the peak of the seventh rank.

It shouldn't be long before she's able to break through to the eighth rank.

The Spirit Realm, which troubles countless seventh-grade alchemists in the outside world, is nothing to her, the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Clan.

An eighth-grade alchemist who is not even twenty years old is a peerless genius, even among the Medicine Clan, and is a rare find.

"Buzz!" An invisible spatial fluctuation rose, and a handsome young man appeared in the palace.

"Brother, you're back." Opening her beautiful eyes, Yao Ling looked at Yao Tian with surprise and anticipation.

She now really wants to know if her brother has taught that lecherous man a lesson.

Although she no longer harbored any murderous intent towards Xiao Yan, she still felt relieved to see that bastard get a beating from her brother.

"Sigh." Looking at his younger sister's expectant gaze, Yao Tian suddenly sighed softly.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Yao Ling's expression changed slightly.

"Sister," Yao Tian hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly, "what do you think of Xiao Yan?"

"Despicable, vile, shameless," Yao Ling blurted out without thinking.

"I think so too," Yao Tian nodded.

"However, is it possible for you to try accepting him?" Yao Tian asked, forcing himself to speak.

"Brother, what are you saying?" Yao Ling's beautiful eyes widened, a hint of anger in them.

What exactly did that lecher do to change his own brother like that?

"I've encountered the Xiao Clan Chief." Yao Tian sighed again.

Yao Ling was taken aback.

"That Xiao Yan is not the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan, but the Imperial Son. Ling'er, do you know what the Imperial Son means to the Xiao Clan?"

Yao Ling shook her head in confusion.

"This means that Xiao Yan's status is on par with that of the Xiao Clan Chief."

Yao Ling's eyes widened again.

Ignoring Yao Ling's surprise, Yao Tian continued, "As far as I know, the two imperial sons previously appointed by the Xiao clan are now nine-star Dou Sheng."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling's face showed a hint of shock.

Nine-star Dou Sheng is the strongest expert on the continent. Among the seven ancient clans, five clans do not have such an expert, but the Xiao clan already has three of them on the surface.

Each of them possesses terrifying strength to suppress the entire Medicine Clan.

The fact that Xiao Yan was established as the imperial prince suggests that the Xiao clan also recognizes his potential to become a nine-star Dou Sheng.

Thinking of this, a complex expression appeared on Yao Ling's face.

"If Xiao Yan truly becomes a Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the future, he might actually be a good match for you."

Yao Tian finally spoke.

"Hmph, I'd rather marry a good-for-nothing than be his woman."

Yao Ling's pretty face was icy cold.

"I'm just telling you what I've learned on this trip. Whether you choose him or not is your choice."

Yao Tian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stand up for you this time."

"Brother, you've done your best." Yao Ling lowered her beautiful eyes.

If we encounter the patriarch of the Xiao clan, let alone my brother, who is the young patriarch, even if the patriarch himself were there, there wouldn't be much he could do.

Yao Tian nodded and silently disappeared from the room.

"Xiao Yan..." Yao Ling murmured softly, then closed her eyes and resumed her cultivation.

But this time, her mind drifted back to the three days she spent in the ancient city.

My originally calm and peaceful state of mind was now stirred by a fiery restlessness.

"So annoying!" Yao Ling slapped the bed, which was made of ancient jade, causing cracks to appear.

...

As the sun sets and the crimson sunlight paints the clouds on the horizon a deep red, the bustling city of Saint Dan, which has been lively all day, begins to slowly come to an end.

"Students, that's all for today. You all truly deserve to be called alchemy geniuses; your progress these past few days has been remarkable."

A middle-aged alchemist looked down at the alchemy geniuses with a smile.

However, when he turned his gaze to a pretty young girl in the corner with a pale complexion and a delicate air, his brows furrowed slightly.

However, when he thought of the boy who had always been by the girl's side, his brows stopped furrowing.

If he were to reprimand the boy, he feared he would be beaten when the boy returned.

This Xiao Yan's behavior is extremely bad, yet no one can do anything about it.

His talent is terrifying, his background is terrifying, and he's shameless.

Dan Chen rested her chin on her little hand, tilting her head to look out the window.

"get out of class is over, why are you still standing here in a daze?" A lazy voice rang out, and a tall girl in red slowly walked over.

Dan Chen snapped out of her daze, turned around and glanced at Cao Ying, her face slightly flushed.

"Let's talk it over again. How about you give Xiao Yan to me?"

Cao Ying squinted her long, narrow, beautiful eyes.

"No way." Faced with Cao Ying's assertiveness, Dan Chen rarely refused with a stern face.

"Really not going to work?" Cao Ying stared at her former best friend.

Dan Chen shook her head.

"I really can't do anything with you." Cao Ying suddenly laughed, her face exuding a bewitching aura that could bring ruin to a country.

"In that case, we'll have to share one husband."

Dan Chen blushed even more, but still remained silent.

"What? What did I just hear?" A flirtatious laugh came from the doorway.

Dan Chen and Cao Ying suddenly turned their heads towards the door, where a young man in black was looking at them with a wicked grin.
