Chapter 156.1 : Little Fairy Doctor!

"Xiao Yan, do you think Your Excellency Ran is really only sixteen years old?" 

Venerable Yao approached Xiao Yan with a serious expression, watching as Ran led Yun Yun away.

"A sixteen-year-old Dou Sheng peak, half-step Dou Di. Unheard of!" 

"Teacher, I believe it," Xiao Yan replied thoughtfully. "Some people are born as Dou Di's, as Teacher knows."

Even in the face of phenomena like time travel, Xiao Yan couldn't deny the possibility. After all, isn't science, in essence, a form of theology? Science might eventually explain the divine, a higher form of existence. The descendants of such higher beings would naturally exhibit extraordinary abilities. 

"Born as a Dou Di!?" Venerable Yao and Zero Shadow widened their eyes in disbelief, unwilling to accept such a notion. They were well-versed in the secrets of Ancient Clans, particularly the rare and potent bloodline of the Dou Di.

However, even descendants of the Dou Di began by condensing Dou Qi after birth. While the speed of their cultivation and subsequent strength might vary, the starting point remained consistent. 

"For example, Gu Xun'er. Due to her superior bloodline, was sealed by her father at birth. Upon adulthood, she could unlock her potential and embark on a path of rapid growth. 

Otherwise, there would be no chance for Xiao Yan to do that kind of thing for Gu Xun'er when he was a child.

"Xiao Yan, it seems you possess a powerful background unknown to your students," Venerable Yao remarked, giving Xiao Yan a penetrating gaze.

Xiao Yan remained silent, contemplating his seemingly ordinary background. If all travelers possessed such backgrounds, they could wield immense power.

"No need for explanations," Venerable Yao interjected, sensing Xiao Yan's thoughts. "Everyone harbors secrets, including teacher. Keep it close to your heart. What matters is that you utilize your power wisely, without greed or fear."

Xiao Yan nodded earnestly. 

"Master,..." 

"No need to elaborate," Venerable Yao interrupted again, smiling. "Every disciple has been honed over the years. You understand the importance of discretion."

Satisfied, Venerable Yao contemplated the need to address certain matters. "It's also time to clean house. According to Your Excellency Ran's information, the scoundrel Han Feng gained notoriety in the Black Corner Territory, mastering alchemy and incomplete Flame Mantra taught by me, acquiring a Heavenly Flame."

"It's just that I personally went to deal with him for the teacher and asked you to retrieve this Heavenly Flame.

"With the Green Lotus Core Flame promised to you by Excellency Ran in a few days, and the purple fire from the origin of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, your mastery of fire can reach an exceptional level.

"However, in the coming days, you'll need to work diligently on your own."

Ran, this spoiler king spoiled a lot of information.

His kindness towards Xiao Yan isn't because he's a good person, but to cultivate highly skilled underlings.

There's also no need to worry about forcing growth prematurely.

Even if you were to address all concerns for Xiao Yan now, there's no need to fret.

Because the process of assimilating the Heavenly Flame itself is the greatest trial.

"Understood, teacher!"

Though Xiao Yan was reluctant to part, he didn't linger or object.

This decision had been discussed at length between the master and apprentice.

Now Xiao Yan holds three aces up his sleeve.

Firstly, Zero Shadow began to shield his identity, regarded as a pinnacle of Douhuang.

Secondly, Venerable Yao left behind three jade slips imbued with Dou Zong strength; each activation bolsters him to contend with a peak Dou Zong powerhouse, while the ancient spirit and Chilling Bone Flame deter any resistance from a peak Dou Zong.

Thirdly, a special weapon with a spatial imprint left by Ran. Xiao Yan can summon its aid when triggered.

With these three trump cards, at least within the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan can indeed stride confidently.

"Don't worry. Once you refine the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's source purple fire and breakthrough to Dou Shi, then you may depart," assured Venerable Yao.

"I am also quite curious," Venerable Yao added, patting Xiao Yan's head. "This kid is still quite reliant on himself."

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

In Qingshan Town.

The presence of the Amethyst Winged Lion King looming overhead, emitting an aura comparable to a sixth-order Warcraft at the peak of Dou Huang, drove all the townsfolk to hide cautiously.

Even the mercenaries who intended to venture into the mountains stood frozen like statues.

Until they noticed two figures atop the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Hey, there's someone riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back."

"How is that possible? The Amethyst Winged Lion King is one of the overlords of the Warcraft Mountains, on par with the top ten Dou Emperors of the Jiama Empire. Even a Dou Huang can't make it yield."

"So, are these two Dou Zong?"

"How could such formidable individuals appear in Qingshan Town?"

"It seems things are about to change!"

"They seem to be heading straight for Almighty Medical House, without a care."

Above Almighty Medical House, the haughty voice of the Amethyst Winged Lion King resounded, "Summon the Little Fairy Doctor to meet this seat's master."

The term "Master" once again stirred the concerns of those present.

Indeed, the presence atop the Amethyst Winged Lion King was unmatched.

But they had come seeking the Little Fairy Doctor.

Had the Little Fairy Doctor offended someone outside?

Rumors had been circulating recently that Almighty Medical House had come into possession of a mysterious inheritance. Could there be a connection?

"Please wait a moment, Sir. The Little Fairy Doctor will be here shortly!"

The commotion caused by the Amethyst Winged Lion King had reached Almighty Medical House long before.

As the proprietor of Wolf Head Mercenary Company, Zhaizhu promptly went to greet them.

Upon hearing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's command, he readily complied.

In recent days, his master had been preparing to confront the Little Fairy Doctor and gather information about the powerful inheritance.

Yet all of this seemed insignificant in the presence of a powerful individual capable of subduing the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

What use was a powerful inheritance when faced with a living powerhouse?

Unless it was the inheritance of a Dou Emperor or Dou Saint.

But even the inheritance of a Dou Ancestor was not something a Little Fairy Doctor could obtain.

Before long, the Little Fairy Doctor was escorted out.
