Among all the heavens, I, Xiao Yan, did not use any cheat codes.

Chapter 27 Xiao Xun'er is in action; she has just left the dragon's den and is about to en

Half a month has passed since the unification of Wutan City. A deep cooperation has been established with the old acquaintance Ya Fei, and the merchant caravan sent by the Nalan family has been contacted to put the Xiao family's business on the right track.

Xiao Yan obtained several Xuan-level cultivation techniques and fighting skills from Yao Lao and left them behind. He also left some specially crafted equipment for his father, Xiao Zhan, and Xun'er. Xiao Yan originally intended to stay for a while longer.

However, Xiao Xun'er talked to him almost every day, as if asserting her dominance. Seeing his complexion growing more and more sallow, Xiao Yan felt that he couldn't let himself fall into such a state of depravity and had to hurry up and start the main quest.

After settling all the remaining matters and making one last purchase from the auction house, Xiao Yan politely declined Ya Fei's invitation for further communication and finally found Xiao Xun'er.

"Sniff, Brother Xiao Yan smells really good in perfume. Do you like it?"

A strange light flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes. Her tone was gentle, but it made Xiao Yan break out in a cold sweat.

With one hand stroking Xiao Yan's chest and the other pinching the soft flesh of his waist, Xiao Xun'er's hand was about to slide down as she spoke.

But this time, Xiao Yan firmly grasped her delicate hand.

"Ahem, I went to the Mittel Auction House and bought some materials."

Xiao Yan coughed and explained that Ya Fei was also a troublemaker. Last time he and Xiao Xun'er were shopping together, she insisted on coming up to join in the fun, which made Xiao Xun'er seem a little stressed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er fell silent for a moment.

Her body stiffened slightly, and after a long while, she slowly raised her head. "Brother Xiao Yan, are you leaving?"

"Yes, the threat from the Soul Palace is quite significant. I need to improve myself quickly." Xiao Yan nodded, seemingly unintentionally mentioning the Soul Palace. After catching Xiao Xun'er's gaze, his previous suspicions were confirmed.

Sure enough, after telling Xiao Xun'er about the information he obtained from killing that person, her expression turned somewhat strange.

"...Actually." After another long silence, as if she had made up her mind, Xiao Xun'er gritted her teeth.

She wanted to use something that was rightfully hers, something she had kept silent about for over a decade. This time, she wanted to confront her own heart.

Before he could speak, Xiao Yan gently pressed his finger against Xun'er's lips.

Their eyes met at close range, and Xiao Xun'er fell silent.

"I don't know what's behind you, Xun'er, and I don't care what they want. I only care about you. Xun'er is Xun'er." Xiao Yan gently touched his forehead to Xiao Xun'er's, looking directly at the girl whose eyes were somewhat dazed.

Wanting to say something more, but looking into the other person's eyes, Xiao Yan simply gave a bright smile.

"Let's go to Canaan Academy together a year from now. Tsk tsk tsk, academy life is pretty good too."

Xiao Yan gently rubbed Xun'er's chin, quite curious about what Canaan Academy would be like. His cousin Xiao Yu, who had returned home early, gave him a brief explanation, but Xiao Yan found it rather jarring.

BYD The whole world is a chaotic mix of heaven and earth, and your Canaan Academy is just a bunch of numbers, right?

For some inexplicable reason, it reminded Xiao Yan of a loser with a lion in his eyes. Could there be dragons in Canaan Academy?

We can go and take a good look then.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Xun'er nodded without hesitation, banishing all her thoughts and giggling.

"Okay, Brother Xiao Yan, you must do your best! Xun'er also needs to start working hard, don't let Xun'er surpass you!"

Sensing the hidden meaning in Xiao Xun'er's words, and noticing the strange expression on the girl's face, Xiao Yan subtly began to back away.

The door had been closed by Xiao Xun'er at some point, and Xiao Yan watched helplessly as a shadow disappeared into the distance, completely out of his sensory range. With a snap of Xun'er's fingers, a sensory barrier was erected in the room.

There was only enough time for the old man to put the seal on, and Xiao Yan, who had been given a handle, could only be led by the nose.

"Call me sister." Xiao Xun'er smiled wickedly, gently squatted down, and began to put her hair up.

…………

Half a day has passed.

Ling Ying stood atop the city gate tower, watching the young man carrying the giant ruler depart into the distance.

Just as Ling Ying was about to disappear into the shadows to return, she saw Xiao Yan with his back to her suddenly wave his hand and leave without looking back.

That silhouette conveyed a sense of magnanimity, as if he would rather die than not achieve fame.

Slightly taken aback, Ling Ying suddenly burst into laughter.

To be honest, this young man is quite charming when he's serious.

It's about time to go back and await Miss's instructions.

Smacking his lips, Ling Ying vanished into the shadows once more.

In a short while, he arrived outside Xun'er's boudoir and gently knocked on the door.

"Enter."

As soon as Ling Ying entered, she saw Xiao Xun'er put down the silk towel she had used to wipe her mouth and sit by the mirror, slowly tidying her hair and letting the coiled strands fall loose and comb them again.

The room was filled with a particularly strong incense fragrance that calmed the mind and soothed the nerves.

Ling Ying suddenly felt that she had returned too early. She should have waited until she saw Xiao Yan leave the city before going out to have a meal and then coming back.

With a slight twitch of her lips, Ling Ying lowered her head and waited for Xiao Xun'er to speak.

In fact, he knew nothing.

Ignore, ignore, look away, and ask nothing.

This time it wasn't professional enough. There will absolutely be no next time. If there is a next time, I'll gouge out my own eyes and poke out my own ears.

The thought flashed by in an instant, and Ling Ying's gaze became exceptionally empty.

He really doesn't know anything.

"Elder Ling." After pondering quietly for a long time, Xiao Xun'er finally spoke softly.

"Miss, I'm here."

"When Brother Xiao Yan comes back, I just want him to see the Xiao family doing better. I don't want anything to happen here."

Clutching the pure white flame-patterned jade pendant given to her by Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er could sense the fluctuations of Xiao Yan's aura from afar.

Ling Ying nodded. Although he wasn't present that night, he was waiting outside the Jialie tribe's territory.

He knew what Xiao Xun'er needed him to know, and he didn't know what she didn't need him to know.

The self-cultivation of the first Dou Huang of the ancient clan.

However, Ling Ying did not respond, knowing that Xiao Xun'er had more to say.

"Is there any news from the clan?" Xiao Xun'er looked up. She didn't want those annoying things to disturb her emotions. Generally speaking, news from the clan could be divided into two types.

One type is to remind her that she must do it in principle. Xiao Xun'er usually doesn't look at these and just throws them directly to the AI... cough cough, to Ling Ying to help her analyze and summarize.

The other type is theoretically negligible.

That's something she'll have to figure out herself.

"Hmm... There's some discontent within the clan. In the last few months, there have been two unprecedented instances of flying letters being sent between clan members."

Ling Ying carefully considered the wording before handing over the two letters. Xiao Xun'er glanced at them; although they didn't explicitly mention what she needed to find, they were nothing more than urging her to find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and also contained some requests for her to return.

Xiao Xun'er was also annoyed by this. What's with all the urging?

Two days ago, when Xiao Yan left treasures for the Xiao family, he even took her on a tour of the Xiao family's various secret vaults so that she could openly and properly see if there was anything she needed.

But she had searched through all sorts of secret vaults!

She even told Xiao Yanming to ask if he had any jade treasures that he should keep safe.

As it turned out, Xiao Yan had no idea whether the Xiao family had any treasured jade. He said he only had a broken piece of jade that Xiao Zhan had given him, which he had placed in his room to prop up the table legs.

He even asked her if it was what she wanted.

Xiao Xun'er was so angry she laughed.

I seriously suspect that the higher-ups within my own clan are having a crazy internal struggle between their left and right brains.

Although she no longer wanted to do this job, she couldn't afford to have no progress if she wanted to move things around.

Thinking about it, Xiao Xun'er gently rubbed her chin.

"Elder Ling, you... never mind. Just go to the clan and say that after many years of hard work, I've finally made a major breakthrough, and I'm only one step away from success, but we're stuck. We need some funding, resources, and manpower support..."

Feeling that the reasons were still not sufficient, Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up when she thought about going to Canaan Academy with Xiao Yan later.

"Yes, I have it. Tell them I have a major clue. Although we haven't found the jade piece yet, the use of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade may be related to the northwest corner of the continent. Xiao Xuan didn't send the Xiao clan here without a reason."

The deal can only be finalized after the bloodline of the Xiao family's prodigy, who is highly likely to have revived the imperial bloodline, is awakened, so a large amount of resources are needed.

Therefore, I need a lot more time.

And we need to prepare some protection for Brother Xiao Yan..."

Xiao Xun'er's eyes grew brighter as she spoke, and even the professional Ling Ying couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

That reason is just too ridiculous.

Miss, do you think we can really get funding this way?

"Miss, I'm afraid..."

"Fine, I'll write a letter to my father myself, and you can help me smooth things over."

Ling Ying: ? ? ?

How can one contend with a peak nine-star Dou Sheng?

I?

Is this the contest between the first Dou Huang and the first Dou Sheng of the ancient clans?

That's very valuable.

…………

"Young man, do you need Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) to treat kidney yin deficiency, or Jin Kui Bu Qi Dan (Golden Cabinet Qi-Boosting Pill) to treat kidney yang deficiency?"

On the way to the Monster Mountain Range.

Looking at Yao Lao, who was bothering him like a mosquito in his ear, Xiao Yan's forehead creased with three black lines.

He's been gone for ages, and he keeps nagging! What an annoying old man!

"If I ever hear the words 'kidney deficiency' again, I'll have my ears go deaf!"

Yao Lao immediately raised an eyebrow. He had learned the standard answer to this kind of statement from Xiao Yan.

"Deafness? Deafness is a sign of an emperor!"

Xiao Yan: (눈义눈)

Oh no, I shouldn't have said so much trash talk.

This old man seems to have let himself go.

However, upon thinking of this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

"Teacher, why not go to the Black Corner Region first? Although Canaan Academy's mainland recruitment is only held once every three years, it won't be until next year, but with my current strength, I can apply on my own."

If he remembered correctly, he had another senior brother in the Black Corner Region. Knowing that such a beast was still alive, Xiao Yan was quite annoyed.

"...That's why I'm not letting you go." The old doctor's lips twitched. Although a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, it was quickly followed by a deep sense of helplessness.

Xiao Yan was too reckless. After learning about Han Feng's situation, he immediately wanted to go to the Black Corner Region to seek revenge. Although Yao Chen felt that Xiao Yan's suggestion of the two of them working together to clean up the mess should not be a problem, it was completely unnecessary.

A Dou Zhe (Battle Warrior) must kill a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor). How much trouble could Xiao Yan cause once he grows up? Yao Chen dared not think about it.

This is what's giving him a headache. He doesn't have a method for fighting with soul power, so he can only use soul power in a way that's not his specialty, just like when he was young and didn't have any fighting skills and used the same methods he used to process medicinal herbs, treating people like medicine.

It's better to play it safe.

Speaking of which, Yao Chen also has a bit of a path dependency. He wants to see if he can get some useful secret techniques for Xiao Yan when he goes to have a fortuitous encounter next time... cough cough.

"That beast, there will be plenty of time to deal with him later. The most urgent thing is to get all those strange inheritances in your body onto the right path, such as the inheritance of that so-called Emperor of Covering the Sky."

The Monster Mountain Range is a good place. You have everything you need right now, except time and energy.

If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't recommend using a large number of pills in the early stages.

But if it were you, all I could say was…” Yao Chen struggled to find the right words.

Xiao Yan didn't need to worry about any foundational issues at all. Three years of body tempering, the low-level Xuan-rank Burning Technique, plus the incomparably powerful Heaven-Covering Technique, and so on, had made Xiao Yan's foundation incredibly solid.

There are also those advanced methods of refining weapons and medicines, which extract the essence of the essence, and then temper them with flames, without any side effects.

Others spend ten years honing their skills, but none of them can match the steady path Xiao Yan took in his cultivation through taking drugs. Yao Chen didn't know what to say.

"Hehehe, that makes perfect sense." Xiao Yan smiled brightly.

"Their cultivation levels were all achieved through their own hard work, so naturally they are extremely superficial."

"But my cultivation level skyrocketed by using a cheat code!"

The difference in quality is immediately apparent!

After some casual conversation, Xiao Yan continued to cultivate as he walked, carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler on his back.

At the same time, they listened to the old doctor's plan.

It has to be said that what he lacks most right now is time.

He has no constraints whatsoever; all he needs is time and resources to rapidly increase his strength.

He also has an advantage that others don't have, which is that he can literally level up by defeating monsters.

For him, the Monster Mountain Range was a treasure trove.

Besides being a training ground, any monster he kills becomes his nourishment.

Xiao Yan readily accepted the essence of flesh and blood and the crystallized energy, as he needed a large amount of life essence to cultivate the Bitter Sea and Dou Qi. As for the soul essence, he planned to use it to heal Elder Yao's injuries.

Good steel should be used where it's needed most. In the Dou Qi Continent, Yao Lao was his backup plan. If all else failed, he would use the Heavenly Rank Dou Technique of Ghost Possession.

Naturally, this trump card needs to be carefully nurtured.

Continuing his journey towards the southern foothills of the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the graceful woman in Green Mountain Town whose temperament was completely different from the other beauties.

"By the way, old man, do you know about a type of person who is born with a poisonous constitution?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen was slightly taken aback.

He remembered an old friend from back then. He recalled that he had many beautiful women in the world, and he had also had some connection with a person with a treacherous and poisonous body.

But did Xiao Yan actually encounter the Calamity Poison Body?

Yao Chen cast a questioning look at him.

"How should I put it? There seems to be a strange toxin in her body, but it's latent. I managed to suppress it for her with a sealing technique before." Xiao Yan scratched his head. That time, he used a magic artifact that had stored his fighting spirit in advance to power it, opened the Eight Gates Formation, and used the Evil Sealing Seal with all his might. He almost exhausted himself to death before he could barely suppress it.

Things are different now, so this is a good opportunity to visit Qingshan Town again.

With my luck, I'm sure I can still gain something.

A toxic constitution? And it can still erupt? Yao Chen's eyes deepened with even more doubt.

"Does she have any physical characteristics, such as anything unusual about her?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately pictured a beautiful body in his mind.

white…?

Cough cough, that shouldn't count.

"There's a rainbow-colored stretch mark on your lower abdomen?"

The old doctor's eyes widened immediately.

Is it really a calamity-poisonous body?
