Douluo Continent: Crossing Over to Battle Through the Heavens, Starting with a 100,000-Year Soul Rin

Chapter 4 Yao Chen: Your master has a cultivation technique here...

"Xiao Wujiu, what...what are you saying!"

The Grand Elder was furious. He never expected that Xiao Wujiu, who was usually humble and polite, would suddenly become a completely different person at this moment.

Xiao Yan also looked at Xiao Wujiu with surprise, wondering why this number one genius of the Xiao family, with whom he usually had little interaction, would stand up for him.

Whether it was when he and Xiao Wujiu were known as the Twin Stars, or when he lost his fighting spirit and fell into despair, they were usually just nodding acquaintances.

Do I need to repeat what I said?

“I ask the three elders, are you all getting senile? This is Xiao Yan’s marriage, and as the person involved, he should make the decision himself.”

Xiao Wujiu responded with neither arrogance nor servility, showing no sign of backing down!

A glint of light flashed in Nalan Yanran's eyes, clearly delighted by Xiao Wujiu's actions.

"Old Master Ye, who is he?"

"Reporting to the young sect master, this person should be Xiao Wujiu, the number one genius of the Xiao family today."

“Xiao Wujiu…”

Nalan Yanran murmured the name, clearly showing a renewed interest in the young man.

"Wujiu, your actions have disgraced the family. Step down immediately."

"Oh, so the First Elder does care about the family's reputation after all?" Hearing the First Elder's words, he immediately perked up. "Do the other three elders know how much of a disgrace it is for the family that the woman came to the Xiao family in public to break off the engagement?"

"So you all bowed down for some resources? Do you even deserve to sit in this elder's position?!"

Xiao Wujiu was truly unable to discern the situation from these three. At a time when the family should have been united in their hatred of the enemy, they seemed to have been bewitched, and ended up prioritizing their own interests.

"You and I……"

The three elders were speechless for a long time, unable to utter a single word, because they knew that Xiao Wujiu was right, and naturally they could not refute him.

“Three elders, Cousin Wujiu is right. As the person involved, Brother Xiao Yan should not get involved in this matter.”

Xiao Xun'er, who had been sitting in her seat, did not expect Xiao Wujiu to speak up for her before she could, but she still chose to join the group immediately.

The girl's light and melodious voice rang out calmly in the hall, completely silencing the three elders.

Seeing that the three elders had fallen silent, Xiao Wujiu nodded slightly to Xiao Xun'er.

Then, meeting Xiao Zhan's grateful gaze, he knew that he had achieved his goal. The energy of the portal in his mind increased by three-fifths at once, and it is still increasing!

'Sure enough, as long as I participate in the plot and cause a certain impact, I can change my weight in this world and thus recharge my time-travel energy.'

Xiao Wujiu's inner thoughts were confirmed, and he also gained Xiao Yan's favor, which made subsequent transactions easier.

"Cousin Wujiu, why..."

Xiao Yan wanted to ask why the other party helped him, but Xun'er wasn't surprised.

However, Xiao Wujiu was different. After all, he didn't have much interaction with the other party and couldn't help him because of it. But he thought it was inappropriate to ask this question, so he hesitated a bit.

Xiao Wujiu simply walked over to Xiao Yan, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "We are the clansmen, aren't we? Go ahead and do it."

After saying that, he returned to his seat and let Xiao Yan continue.

Next, with no one else interfering and with Xiao Wujiu's endorsement, Xiao Yan still uttered the phrase "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential," still made the three-year agreement, and still wrote the letter of divorce.

With everything settled, Xiao Wujiu's time-travel energy was fully replenished, enough to support his next time travel.

"Take the Qi Gathering Powder with you too!" Xiao Zhan waved his hand, and the jade box on the table was thrown away.

Ge Ye reached out and caught it steadily. After giving a wry smile, he put it back into his storage ring.

"In that case, farewell."

Watching Ge Ye's departing figure, Xiao Wujiu chuckled softly, then bid farewell to Xiao Zhan and the others before leaving.

Since his strength was only one step away from becoming a Dou Ling, he has become much more composed about many things.

"This is the benefit of strength."

Feeling the surging battle qi within him, he felt incredibly comfortable, and even the threat from the Soul Clan was somewhat alleviated at this moment.

"No, I can't slack off yet. Now that my strength has improved, I'll try refining higher-grade pills."

----------

After leaving the hall, Xiao Yan habitually climbed the back mountain of the Xiao family, hoping to calm his mind.

And so, he encountered a ghost!

After taking a while to process what had just happened, he looked at the teacher he had just become acquainted with.

"Teacher, the family coming-of-age ceremony is not enough."

"I want to win the three-year agreement, and I need to become stronger!"

"Teacher, if I want to surpass my cousin Wujiu, how long will it take? Can I do it in two years?"

Upon hearing this, the old doctor's face twitched, and he seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"Old man, you're making it sound so amazing, you're not just lying to me, are you?"

Xiao Yan questioned Yao Chen again. After all, Yao Chen kept saying that he would reach the seventh level of Dou Qi in a year, but he stopped talking when it came to surpassing Xiao Wujiu. Wasn't that a sign that he was not confident?

"Hey, you little brat, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Yao Chen was also helpless. Who would have thought that there would be such a monstrous talent in this small place, who had reached the peak of the Nine-Star Great Dou Master at the age of fifteen?

Perhaps there is no shortage of such people in the Central Plains, but this is the Northwest Continent, and it is in a family where the strongest person is only a five-star Great Dou Master!

"Considering my interests? Are you sure?"

Xiao Yan was skeptical, finding it hard to believe this seemingly unreliable teacher in front of him.

"Fine, since you don't believe me, then I'll tell you the truth," Yao Chen thought for a moment and decided to tell Xiao Yan. In short, Xiao Wujiu was indeed a very good target to pursue. "It's what you want to know, so don't blame me for discouraging you. Your cousin is not as simple as he seems. His true strength has reached the peak of the Nine-Star Great Dou Master, and he is only one step away from the Dou Ling level!"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Xiao Yan's head, his face filled with disbelief.

"What?!"

"Cousin Wujiu, he's a Great Dou Master, and at the peak of the Nine Stars?!"

"That's right. I must say, your family really has something to offer. Putting aside you for now, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Wujiu alone are no ordinary people!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's devastated state, Yao Lao did not continue to mention that Xiao Wujiu might also be an alchemist, because he sensed that Xiao Wujiu's spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and his fighting spirit attribute was also fire with wood.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was somewhat downcast, he decided to comfort his newly acquired disciple.

"But don't be discouraged. With my help, your future achievements may not be lower than theirs."

"Teacher, do you have a solution?"

"Of course, I have a cultivation technique here..."

Chapter 5: Keep your spirits up, don't lose face!

Xiao Wujiu didn't return to his own courtyard. Instead, he pondered the upcoming plot and decided to continue investing in Xiao Yan.

After he was able to refine pills, he maintained a cooperative relationship with the Mittel Auction House, so he now has millions of gold coins, if not a lot.

Moreover, as far as I can remember, although Yao Chen has now awakened, Xiao Yan initially lacked start-up funds, so he could try to intervene and see if he could solve Dugu Bo's poison problem.

Anyway, it's just some gold and silver. With his status, he could make as much as he wanted if he wanted to.

Now we can use this as an alternative to deal with Dugu Bo's poison, saving us the trouble of currying favor with him today by announcing the engagement.

After all, Dugu Bo's side is related to his future medicinal herb production, so he still needs to pay attention.

Moreover, he was after Yao Chen, who was behind Xiao Yan. He was not capable of curing Dugu Bo's condition on his own.

As for the renowned Medicine Master, he has a solution even for a troublesome constitution like the Calamity Poison Body, so isn't Dugu Bo's poison just child's play?

Without hesitation, he left the hall, first thinking about how to explain himself later, and then, keeping track of the time, headed towards the back mountain. By this time, Xiao Yan should have already completed his apprenticeship.

The back mountain of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan decided to cultivate the "Burning Technique" immediately after making the decision, because, as his teacher said, if you want to overtake others by taking a shortcut, you have to take some risks!

However, Xiao Yan then began to worry about how to get money to buy medicinal herbs. He wanted to refine medicines and sell them to carry out the "Alchemist's Cycle Technique," which required start-up capital.

At that moment, the old doctor's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Wait a minute, little one. It seems your cousin Wujiu has also come to the back mountain. He seems to be looking for you."

"Cousin Wujiu, you've come to see me?"

Before Xiao Yan could think any further, Xiao Wujiu's voice reached his ears.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, you really are here."

The person arrived before the voice.

The latter lightly touched the trees with his toes, and after a few back and forth movements, he landed in front of Xiao Yan.

"Cousin Wujiu, did you come to see me?"

"Yes, I saw you come to the back mountain and was worried you might be overthinking things, so I thought I'd come and comfort you. But now it seems like it's not necessary?"

He was dressed in white, with a tall and straight posture, and his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes were full of youthful vigor.

The golden rays of the sun shone down, and that smiling face gave people a warm feeling.

The mountain breeze from the back hills ruffled his clothes, and the echoing voice of the other person left Xiao Yan momentarily stunned.

"What a spirited young man!"

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Wujiu in his storage ring and couldn't help but think to himself that the other party's appearance was only slightly worse than his own when he was young.

"Are you confident about the three-year agreement?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan remained silent, Xiao Wujiu continued speaking, which brought Xiao Yan back to his senses.

The latter gave a bitter smile and said, "I don't know either, but I think I have to do it. I can't let my father be disgraced because of me, so even if the Yunlan Sect is a den of dragons and tigers, I have to go and venture in!"

As he spoke, a resolute light shone in his eyes. The ups and downs of human relationships over the past three years had truly helped this young man mature considerably.

Looking at this future Emperor Yan, Xiao Wujiu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
