213: Chapter 213 This girl must be a treasure-hunting rat in human form.

"Yes."

Xiao Li took out several pieces of paper from his storage ring and handed them to Xiao Yan.

It was normal for the latter to lose his composure. Anyone would react this way upon hearing that a youth who had only broken through to Dou Practitioner a year and a half ago and was not yet seventeen years old was now already a Peak Dou Wang expert.

"A Peak Dou Wang cultivation level is nothing yet." Xiao Li continued to recount with great interest, "Brother Gu Han also killed a Peak Dou Huang."

Xiao Yan: !

"He used a Dou Technique to heavily injure a Dou Zong."

Xiao Yan: !!

"With the help of the Cloud Mist Sect, the Jia Ma Empire has already annexed eighty percent of the territories of the Izumo Empire, the Luo Yan Empire, and the Mu Lan Empire. Brother Gu Han and Sect Master Yun Yun decided to occupy a piece of land in the Black-Corner Region as well. Yesterday, they already took the Blood Sect..."

Xiao Yan: !!!

In the past month, he had first been busy participating in the Inner Academy Selection Competition, then the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, and then Cultivating hard in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, so he didn't know about these things.

The Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower was indeed a good place. With the assistance of the Green Lotus Core Flame, he felt he could step into the Dou Ling Realm within half a year, and he had even felt a bit smug about it.

But compared to Gu Han, his small increase in cultivation was insignificant.

"This is a Prodigy." Yao Lao sighed inside the storage ring.

Even in the Central Plains, such a Genius was a rare existence.

However, thinking back to half a year ago when Gu Han's Soul Realm had already improved to the Spirit Realm, he wasn't too surprised.

"My coming to find you this time is related to Brother Gu Han. Last night, he gave me a chance to Breakthrough to Dou Wang within a few months and become the City Lord of Yunmu City." Finally getting to the main point, Xiao Li's expression became serious.

"What!?" Xiao Yan suspected he was hallucinating and picked his ear. "How long until the Breakthrough to Dou Wang?"

"One month at the fastest, three months at the slowest," Xiao Li replied.

"Even riding a rocket wouldn't be that fast, right?" Xiao Yan said in disbelief. "Second Brother, are you already a Dou Ling now?"

"No, still a six-star Dou Master," Xiao Li replied.

"Then how is it possible to reach Dou Wang in a few months?" If he hadn't known Gu Han's character and that he wouldn't harm Xiao Li, Xiao Yan would have suspected something was being hidden.

"It's like this..." Xiao Li repeated what Gu Han had said last night.

"One hundred percent successful absorption of the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill? The seventh-grade pill, life-devouring pill? azure nether longevity pill?"

Xiao Yan felt it sounded a bit like a fantasy, so he couldn't help but ask Yao Lao in his mind, "Teacher, is this plan feasible?"

"Feasible!" Yao Lao gave a definite answer.

"There really are such Medicinal Pills." Xiao Yan's mood suddenly became complicated.

As Xiao Li's biological younger brother, he certainly didn't want his brother to trade his lifespan for strength.

Becoming a Dou Wang was indeed desirable, but three years of life was simply too little. Even with a azure nether longevity pill, it would only be thirteen years.

But if Xiao Yan put himself in Xiao Li's shoes, he might also choose this path. After all, it wasn't a dead end; as long as he could Breakthrough to Dou Huang within thirteen years, he wouldn't die.

"Little Yan, take a leave of absence and go out. This teacher wants to find Little Fellow Gu to take a look at a life-devouring pill. I don't know if he has the Pill Formula in his hands." Yao Lao's voice sounded again, making Xiao Yan stop hesitating.

He prepared to go out and talk to Gu Han face-to-face about this matter.

Just as Xiao Li said, from a realistic perspective, Gu Han wouldn't want his investment to go down the drain either.

A Dou Wang piled up using the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and life-devouring pill would surely be expected to live as long as possible to create more benefits.

"Second Brother, I'll go ask for leave and go to Yunmu City with you." Xiao Yan said, "It's been half a year since we last met. Since Brother Gu has come to the Black-Corner Region, I'll go pay him a visit."

"Alright." Xiao Li naturally had no objection.

Actually, in his heart, Xiao Yan studying at the Jia Nan Academy was not as promising as hanging out with Gu Han.

However, Jia Nan Academy was an academy; after graduating later, he could still leave and return to develop his Family or affiliated power.

It wouldn't be too late to persuade Xiao Yan to join the Cloud Mist Sect later.

"Second Brother, wait for me here."

Xiao Yan left in a hurry, planning to first inform Nalan Yanyun and then find an Elder to ask about taking leave.

"Zi Yan? Why are you here!"

When Xiao Yan found Nalan Yanran, he discovered a girl with delicate features wearing a white long dress beside her.

It was precisely Zi Yan, whom he and Nalan Yanran had happened to meet a few days ago while traveling in the back mountain of the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy. Her strength was ranked first on the Inner Academy's strong ranking.

At that time, Zi Yan thought he and Nalan Yanran were going to snatch the Heaven And Earth Treasures she had found, and one punch almost finished him off.

Yao Lao asserted that Zi Yan was a Demonic Beast in human form, and she herself said that she turned into her current appearance after accidentally consuming a form transformation grass.

Zi Yan didn't know what kind of Demonic Beast her true form was, but Xiao Yan felt she might be a Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

Because with a twitch of her nose, she could easily find the Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicines, and Spiritual Items in the back mountain and eat them directly as snacks.

Eating them like that was too wasteful, so he showed off his Heavenly Flame and used medicinal refining methods to turn the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines into pills, successfully trading for the remaining Heaven And Earth Treasures.

"What do you mean? Not welcoming me?" Zi Yan put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "Can't I come find Yanyun to play together?"

"You didn't finish the month's worth of pills I prepared for you and came to ask me for more, did you?" Xiao Yan ignored her attitude and showed a suspicious expression.

Zi Yan immediately acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, making a fuss, "Who could those few pills possibly be enough for?"

"The Spiritual Plants I gave you were originally enough for me to eat for three to five days. You only used one-tenth to refine them into Jelly Beans but wanted me to eat them for a month. You're a Profiteer."

"I've said it before, as long as you finish them, I'll refine new ones for you." Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

"Then give them to me." Zi Yan immediately reached out her hand.

"I don't have any now; I have to refine them," Xiao Yan replied.

"Then refine them," Zi Yan immediately urged.

"Not for now." Xiao Yan spread his hands. "I have something to do and need to take leave to go out."

"Leaving the Inner Academy?" Zi Yan looked Xiao Yan up and down with suspicious eyes. "You're not just trying to avoid giving me the pills and making up an excuse to trick me, are you?"

"No, I came to find Yanyun just to tell her about my leaving." Xiao Yan exchanged a look with Nalan Yanyun and said softly, "Second Brother came to find me with some news. I need to go outside with him to meet Brother Gu Han."

"Alright, be careful." Nalan Yanyun nodded with a gentle gaze.

"Xiao Yan, you're really going out?" Seeing that Xiao Yan wasn't lying to her, Zi Yan's eyes darted around as she said, "Then take me with you. I also want to go out of the Inner Academy to play."

"This..." Xiao Yan pinched the bridge of his nose. "I don't have the final say; it requires an Elder's approval."

"What a small matter." Zi Yan immediately skipped to the side. "Follow me. We'll go find Old Man Su. If he doesn't agree to let me go out to play with you, I'll pluck out all his beard hairs."

Xiao Yan: "..."

He didn't know who the "Old Man Su" Zi Yan mentioned was.

But Zi Yan was ranked first on the Inner Academy's strong ranking, and her strength was enough to meet graduation standards, so she certainly knew many Elders.

Presumably, he was an Elder in charge.

"I'm leaving now."

After saying goodbye to Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan followed Zi Yan's pace.
