330: Better to become famous on the mainland

Deep within the Xiao Family's back mountains, the stone door of the secret chamber, which had been sealed for several months, finally opened slowly with a low rumble.

A figure stepped out, his aura as profound as the sea, and with every move, spatial ripples subtly undulated around him.

It was none other than the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor, Xiao Zhen, who had successfully broken through to One-star Dou Zun!

His face was ruddy, his eyes gleaming with sharp light as they opened and closed. Feeling the Dou Qi within him, which was several times more immense than during his Dou Zong period, and the subtle control he had over the surrounding space, a surge of ambition naturally arose within him.

At the Dou Zun realm, his lifespan greatly increased, and his strength had undergone an earth-shshattering change. Under his leadership, the Xiao Family was bound to usher in unprecedented glory!

"Hahaha! This old man has finally reached this realm!"

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh heartily, his voice rolling and echoing throughout the entire Xiao Family mountain range.

The core elders of the Xiao Family and Xiao Han, who had been waiting outside, felt this powerful Dou Zun pressure and were all incredibly excited, bowing in salute.

"Congratulations, Old Ancestor, on successfully breaking through and achieving Dou Zun!"

Xiao Zhen was in high spirits, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, just about to offer a few encouraging words, when his eyes suddenly fixed on the young man in green robes standing with his hands behind his back and a slight smile, at the front of the crowd.

At this sight, the smile on Xiao Zhen's face instantly froze, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief!

He even instinctively rubbed his eyes, thinking he had just broken through and his perception was faulty!

"Young Friend Jiang?! Your aura?!"

Xiao Zhen's voice trembled slightly.

He clearly perceived that the energy fluctuation emanating from Young Friend Jiang was indeed at the Dou Zun level!

Moreover, its refined and profound degree was even stronger than his own One-star Dou Zun!

Two-Star Dou Zun!

How could this be?!

Just over half a year ago, Young Friend Jiang was only a Three-star Dou Zong!

Even if he had extraordinary talent and divine alchemy skills, the speed of his Dou Qi cultivation increase was simply too astonishing!

This was no longer something that could be described as genius; he was simply a monstrous genius among monsters!

The immense joy and pride that had just welled up in his heart were shattered by this even stronger shock.

Xiao Zhen had lived for over a hundred years, and he prided himself on having witnessed countless storms and geniuses, but someone like Young Friend Jiang, who broke through as easily as drinking water, was simply unheard of!

Seeing Xiao Zhen's expression, as if he had seen a ghost, Xiao Han, standing nearby, shrugged helplessly, his face showing a numb expression of "I'm already used to it."

Over the past half-year, he had personally witnessed how Young Friend Jiang rapidly advanced as if there were no bottlenecks, and he had long been so disheartened that he had lost his temper.

Young Friend Jiang smiled slightly, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Congratulations, Senior Xiao, on successfully breaking through as you wished, your venerable might is vast."

Xiao Zhen slowly recovered from his shock, taking several deep breaths before he could barely calm his turbulent emotions.

He shook his head with a wry smile, looking at Young Friend Jiang, his tone incredibly complex.

"Young Friend Jiang, no, I should call you Venerable Jiang now. You've truly made this old man feel like his hundred-plus years have been lived in vain!"

After his Feeling, Xiao Zhen's expression gradually became serious.

He was, after all, a person who had experienced many vicissitudes, and he quickly grasped the key point.

He dismissed the others, leaving only Young Friend Jiang and Xiao Han, and said in a deep voice.

"Young Friend Jiang, your rapid cultivation advancement is, of course, a great thing. But I imagine what you are most concerned about is still the whereabouts of your esteemed master, Mo Xuan, and Miss Red Silk, right?"

Young Friend Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded.

Over the past half-year, the Xiao Family's intelligence network had made almost no progress, which often made him anxious.

Xiao Zhen stroked his beard, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"In this old man's opinion, your previous method of secretly inquiring was too broad, like searching for a needle in a haystack, and too inefficient. Since you possess such strength and potential, why not try a different approach?"

"Please enlighten me, Senior."

Young Friend Jiang humbly sought advice.

"Become famous! Truly make your name shake the entire continent!"

Xiao Zhen said decisively.

"When you stand at a high enough position, shining with boundless radiance, you won't need to look for them. Those who should know you will naturally know you!"

"At that time, if your esteemed master or Miss Red Silk are still in the world, upon hearing your name, they will surely come to find you proactively! Conversely, if they are in danger or some secret place, your fame and status will become the biggest bargaining chip to clear obstacles and obtain crucial information!"

This line of thought suddenly enlightened Young Friend Jiang!

Indeed, instead of blindly stumbling around like a headless fly, it would be better to make himself the focal point, attracting all attention and resources!

"And right now, there's an excellent opportunity for you to become famous throughout Central Plains, and even the Fighting Qi Continent, at the fastest speed!"

Xiao Zhen's voice carried a hint of excitement, his gaze burning as he looked at Young Friend Jiang.

"What is it?"

Young Friend Jiang and Xiao Han asked simultaneously.

"The Pill Tower Alchemy Grand Meeting!"

Xiao Zhen said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Hosted by the Pill Tower, the holy land for Alchemists on the continent, it's a grand event that gathers the continent's top alchemy geniuses and grandmasters! The next meeting will be held in Holy Pill City, Central Plains, two years from now!"

He looked at Young Friend Jiang, his tone filled with immense confidence.

"With your current alchemy skills, Young Friend Jiang, coupled with your unfathomable soul realm, as long as you participate, the championship title will be as easy as picking something out of your pocket!"

"Once you win the championship at the Pill Tower Grand Meeting, you will instantly become a prominent figure in the entire alchemy world, attracting the attention and recruitment of countless forces! By then, inquiring about any information will naturally be thousands of times easier!"

Pill Tower Champion! Famous throughout the continent!

These two words exploded in Young Friend Jiang's heart like thunder.

A clear, bright, and extremely challenging path unfolded before his eyes!

This would not only achieve his goal of finding his relatives and master but also be the ultimate test of his own alchemy skills!

"Pill Tower Grand Meeting Champion!"

Young Friend Jiang repeated in a low voice, a confident arc gracing the corner of his mouth.
