Joy is fleeting, and the sadness of parting doesn't last long!
This day was a rather special one for the Xiao Family.
"Uncle Chen Yang, are you really leaving?"
A year had passed, and Xiao Ling, who would turn sixteen in another month, had already grown into a young woman. At nearly 1.7 meters tall, if not for her slightly childish face, no one would have guessed she was not yet sixteen.
The people from Jia Nan Academy had arrived in Wutan City yesterday, and Chen Yang planned to leave tomorrow, so he came to the Xiao Family to say goodbye today!
Looking at Xiao Ling, who had the figure of a mature woman but the Heart-Nature of a child, Chen Yang couldn't help but reach out and pat her head: "Uncle has to go home to accept the Legacy. Aren't you also going to Jia Nan Academy, Ling'er?"

With that, Chen Yang took off a storage ring and placed it in Xiao Ling's hand: "You must Cultivate well at Jia Nan Academy. Inside here are most of the Medicinal Pills Uncle refined for you that you'll need before becoming a Dou King. When Uncle's Alchemy Skill improves, I'll have someone send you the subsequent Medicinal Pills!"
After putting the storage ring into Xiao Ling's hand, Chen Yang again reached out and rubbed her head: "Don't worry, in about a year or so, Uncle will come to Jia Nan Academy to find you!"
Xiao Ling lowered her head, tightly clutching the storage ring in her hand.
She was somewhat afraid to look up at Chen Yang, fearing that he would see the lack of strength on her face and in her eyes.
Having been an invisible figure in the Clan since childhood, she felt what it was like to be valued for the first time because of Chen Yang's appearance.
Their family's future had undergone tremendous changes all because of Chen Yang.
Seeing Xiao Ling's expression, Chen Yang turned to Xiao Yong and took out another storage ring, placing it in his hand.
"Brother Xiao Yong, this storage ring contains what I've left for you. Your talent isn't the best, but there's still hope for you to reach Dou Huang in the future. The Medicinal Pills inside are also enough for you to use before becoming a Dou King. Remember, besides the healing Medicinal Pills, the rest cannot be given to others. I've placed restrictions in the Medicinal Pills, incorporating your Bloodline Power. If others consume them, at best their cultivation will regress, at worst they will explode and die!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yong and asked with a serious expression.
"Understood!"
Xiao Yong was very smart and didn't ask anything else, merely cupping his hands in gratitude towards Chen Yang.
"When I first met you on the road back then, you had short hair. A year and a half has passed, and your hair has grown so long!"
Xiao Yong didn't mention Chen Yang's cultivation at all, only remarking on the change in Chen Yang's hair.
"At the time, I just thought it was ordinary, never expecting such a big change to happen later!"
"Chen Yang will never forget the kindness of Brother Xiao Yong, who gave me clothes and shoes and brought me to Wutan City!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yong and returned the salute.
"The path to becoming a strong practitioner is always difficult!"
"Brother Chen Yang, the most I can do for you is to silently bless you with a safe journey!"
Xiao Yong's eyes were slightly moist. He looked at Chen Yang, reached out and patted Chen Yang's shoulder, admonishing him word by word.
"Brother Xiao Yong, don't worry, this path ahead will surely be smooth!"
"In a while, your little brother will come back to see you!"
Chen Yang nodded.
"Go!"
Xiao Yong nodded, reached out and pulled Xiao Ling closer. The father and daughter watched Chen Yang leave their small courtyard!
...After leaving Xiao Yong's small courtyard, Chen Yang went to find Xiao Zhan and sold him a Spirit Ascension Pill for two hundred thousand gold coins.
After nearly seventeen months, Xiao Zhan's Nine-Star Great Dou Shi strength had approached Perfection, and he was now ready to impact Dou Ling.
The Spirit Ascension Pill could increase the chances of a PeakGreat Dou Master practitioner breaking through to Dou Ling by 50%. With Xiao Yan's Luck blessing, Xiao Zhan's Luck shouldn't be too bad.
However, whether Xiao Zhan became a Dou Ling or not no longer had much effect on him; he was already prepared to leave.
"Many thanks, Great MasterChen Yang!"
After a year and a half, Xiao Zhan still referred to Chen Yang as Great MasterChen Yang.
Over the past year, although every interaction with Chen Yang had been a fair trade, Xiao Zhan knew that not everyone had the qualifications to conduct fair trade with a Dou Ling practitioner and a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.
Moreover, which Alchemist in the entire Jia Ma Empire could produce the Medicinal Pills Chen Yang brought out?
Chen Yang's choice of him was certainly due to Xiao Yong, but he dared not forget Chen Yang's kindness. Now, the Xiao Family's future was smooth, ninety percent of which was due to Chen Yang, and the remaining ten percent to Xiao Yong.
"Clan ChiefXiao Zhan, you are too kind. After I leave, I must trouble you to take good care of Brother Xiao Yong!" Chen Yang looked at Xiao Zhan, cupping his hands and smiling as he spoke.
"Great MasterChen Yang, please rest assured. Unless I die, I will absolutely not allow Brother Yong to suffer any misfortune!" Xiao Zhan nodded, promising with a serious expression.
"In that case, I am relieved!" Chen Yang nodded, chatted with Xiao Zhan for a few more minutes, and then left the Xiao Family!
...The next day, Jia Nan Academy's recruitment began in full swing!
Xiao Yan and other Xiao Family members, led by Xiao Yu, arrived at Instructor Ruo Lin's tent.
Next was the familiar process: Xiao Yan was forcibly pulled out by Xun'er to show off, and then he requested leave.
However, compared to the original plot where Xiao Yan barely met the conditions for leave, this time, Xiao Yan fought Instructor Ruo Lin, a Five-Star Great Dou Shi, to a draw, which stunned Xiao Yu.
"No... he... wasn't he only a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner?"
"How... how can he fight Instructor Ruo Lin to a draw?"
Xiao Yu was completely shocked.
At this moment, Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with some heartache; only she knew what kind of hardships Xiao Yan had endured to possess his current strength.
That physical quality, comparable to a Third-Tier Magical Beast, was entirely achieved through constant beatings!
Having successfully taken leave, Xiao Yan, filled with ideals for the future and reluctance to part with his family and Xun'er, was about to embark on his journey towards the path of a Dou Emperor.
However, before leaving, Xiao Yan specifically came to Mittel to bid farewell to Chen Yang, partly to express gratitude and partly to ask for advice on his adventure.
As soon as he entered, he encountered Ya Fei.
"Young Master Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Yan had a good relationship with Chen Yang and had cooperated with Mittel before, so Ya Fei also had a good impression of Xiao Yan.
"Miss Ya Fei, I'm here to find Brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan said with a smile to Ya Fei, knowing that Ya Fei was Chen Yang's woman.
"Chen Yang, he left three days ago!" A trace of loneliness flashed in Ya Fei's eyes, then her pretty face flushed red again as she thought of their wild night before Chen Yang left... "Brother Yang, did he leave three days ago?"
"Doesn't that mean it was the day I participated in the Jia Nan Academy assessment?"
Xiao Yan didn't notice Ya Fei's loneliness and shyness, exclaiming in some surprise.
"That's right!"
"Oh, by the way, these Medicinal Pills were entrusted to me by Chen Yang before he left, for you. Of course, you'll have to pay for them!"
Ya Fei suppressed her inner unease and took out a storage ring, handing it to Xiao Yan.
"Gulp..." Xiao Yan swallowed bitterly. After taking the storage ring, his Soul Power scanned the Medicinal Pills inside, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"
The exclamation made Ya Fei pause for a moment. She remembered Chen Yang once using that word... well, Xiao Yan must have heard it from Chen Yang!
"I'm sorry, Miss Ya Fei, Brother Yang really prepared a great gift for me!!!" Xiao Yan said through gritted teeth, looking at the Medicinal Pills in the storage ring.
There were many Medicinal Pills inside, and they were very suitable for his upcoming adventure, but they were also very expensive.
According to his estimation, these Medicinal Pills would just about empty all the gold coins he had on him.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, took out his entire fortune of two million gold coins, and handed them to Ya Fei. From today onwards, he would be a pauper with less than two thousand gold coins.
A Second-Grade Alchemist with only two thousand gold coins in his possession – who would believe that?
Xiao Yan shed tears, bid farewell to Ya Fei, and left Mittel with a miserable expression... "By now, Xiao Yan should have received the last gift I prepared for him, right?"
In Qingshan Town, inside Wan Yao Pharmacy, Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian, who was dressed in a white dress with a slender waist, and muttered to himself, stroking his chin...
