Medicine Venerable

After sending off the guests who had attended the ceremony, Xiao Zhan and the three elders eagerly inquired about Xiao Feng's recent experiences during his training.

Facing their curious gazes, Xiao Feng gave a half-truth account of his adventures.

He didn't hide the existence of Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin, knowing that Ling Ying had likely already informed Xiao Xun'er about them.

The reason Xiao Feng hadn't brought Little Fairy Doctor and the others back to the Xiao family wasn't because he feared Xiao Xun'er would be jealous, but due to a minor, unexpected incident.

Originally, Xiao Feng had planned to return yesterday, but Little Fairy Doctor unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Feng and Qinglin, unable to do anything, could only stay by her side and wait for her to wake up.

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor showed no sign of waking, Qinglin volunteered to stay and watch over her so that Xiao Feng could return in time for the coming-of-age ceremony. This was why he had arrived just in time for his grand entrance.

"Feng'er, does this mean you only have three years left to live?"

Learning about the severe side effects of the Devouring Life Pill, Xiao Zhan and the elders couldn't help but show worried expressions.

"Father, don't worry. As long as I break through to the Dou Emperor level within three years, I can remove the side effects of the pill."

Xiao Feng casually waved his hand and said, "I'm already a Four-Star Dou King. With two and a half years left, I have more than enough time to break through to Dou Emperor."

Seeing Xiao Feng's confident demeanour, most of their worry subsided.

"Oh! I also gained the inheritance of a master forger in the cave where I found the Devouring Life Pill, and I brought back some great items for you all."

As Xiao Feng spoke, he waved his hand, and four silver-white Dragon Crocodile puppets appeared in the living room.

Due to the massive size of the Azure Water Dragon Crocodile, its body provided ample materials, allowing Xiao Feng to craft six Dragon Crocodile puppets, along with numerous magical treasures and artefacts.

Before Xiao Zhan and the others could ask, Xiao Feng took the initiative to explain the performance of the Dragon Crocodile puppets.

When Xiao Zhan and the three elders learned that the Dragon Crocodile puppets possessed strength comparable to peak Dou Spirit powerhouses, they were elated.

With these powerful puppets, the Xiao family would not only dominate Wu Tan City but also be able to reestablish themselves in the imperial capital.

After introducing the puppets, Xiao Feng handed over some magical treasures and artefacts to Xiao Zhan, instructing him to distribute them among the elite family members to strengthen their power.

"Father, I'll leave these things to you. I have some things to discuss with Xiao Yan and the others, so I'll take my leave."

"Alright, go ahead."

With Xiao Feng leading the way, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er followed him to his courtyard.

Xiao Feng gently took Xiao Xun'er's hand and placed a black bracelet on her white wrist.

Xiao Xun'er blinked in confusion at the bracelet, which seemed to be carved from obsidian and adorned with strange patterns.

Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Xun'er, I specially made this Wind Eagle Bracelet for you. Try injecting some Dou Qi into it."

"Okay."

Xiao Xun'er obediently nodded and infused a trace of Dou Qi into the bracelet.

Whoosh!

With a flash of eerie purple-black light, a black armour-like gown instantly appeared on her body.

The black gown, similar in design to a Western princess dress, was modelled after the armour of the 'King of Stubborn Hair.'

On the back of the black dress were two large black wings, giving the pure and innocent Xiao Xun'er a slightly fallen angel-like aura.

"Xun'er, this Wind Eagle Battle Dress is crafted from the materials of a fifth-tier Black Wind Eagle. It has the defensive strength of a fifth-tier magical beast and flight speed rivalling a Dou King."

Xiao Feng gently stroked Xiao Xun'er's hair and said, "If I'm not by your side in the future, let it protect you."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Feng. I really like this gift."

"As long as you like it."

[Wind Eagle Battle Dress? Wow! Isn't this the Wind Eagle Armor? They just turned the Wind Eagle Summoner into a bracelet.]

Hearing Xiao Yan's inner complaints, Xiao Feng couldn't help but find it amusing. He softly said to Xiao Xun'er, "Xun'er, I need to discuss some manly matters with Xiao Yan. Why don't you go play with Xiao Mei for a bit?"

"Alright, Brother Feng. I'll leave you two to talk."

After Xiao Xun'er left, Xiao Feng waved his hand to close the bedroom door and fixed his gaze on the Bone Flame Ring on Xiao Yan's hand.

"Sir, you've been watching the show for quite a while now. Why not show yourself? Or do I have to force you out?"

Boom!

As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, a ball of earthy yellow Wind Fury Dragon Flame appeared in his palm, causing the room's temperature to soar.

"Brother, you've misunderstood. I was just..."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to explain, a terrifying chill emanated from the Bone Flame Ring, forcefully suppressing the heat of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

"Little one, there's no need for such a temper~."

A translucent figure of Yao Lao emerged from the Bone Flame Ring, stroking his beard. "After all, I contributed to the technique you're practising, Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon."

[A flame containing both wind and fire attributes, and it's earthy yellow? Could this be the eighteenth-ranked Wind Fury Dragon Flame from the Heavenly Flame Ranking?

I can't believe this crazy kid really found a Heavenly Flame. I need to figure out a way to make him hand it over for Xiao Yan to use in refining his Burning Flame Art.]

Ignoring Yao Lao's thoughts, Xiao Feng focused on the ghostly white flame surrounding him and asked, "A white flame with both extreme cold and heat attributes—could this be the legendary Bone Spirit Cold Flame?"

"That's correct."

Yao Lao nodded slightly. "This flame is indeed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

Feigning surprise, Xiao Feng cupped his hands and said, "So, it turns out I'm in the presence of the Medicine Venerable himself. Please forgive my earlier rudeness."

"Medicine Venerable?!"

Xiao Yan's face changed drastically at those words.

[Could my teacher really be a legendary Dou Venerable? Wow! That's amazing!]

Xiao Feng calmly explained, "From what I know, the person referred to as 'the best alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent,' the Medicine Venerable, is known to use the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. So, I dared to guess that the elder in front of me was the legendary Medicine Venerable."
