Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

After handing it to Xiao Yan, Ya Fei revealed a hint of envy on her face and said, "You alchemists really have a very profitable business."

Looking at the excited expression on Xiao Yan's face, Ya Fei couldn't help but recall the sorrowful look on the young man's face when his teacher had just been arrested not long ago.

He locked himself in his room day and night, neither eating nor drinking nor cultivating, just staring blankly at the storage ring on his right hand. Fortunately, he has managed to persevere...

After delivering the medicinal herbs to Xiao Yan, Ya Fei chatted with him for a while before leaving the Xiao family. After all, she had many things to manage now, and she needed to personally oversee many aspects of the Mittel family's auctions and resource allocation.

Xiao Yan is the same. As the young patriarch of the Xiao family, and now the leader of the Yan Alliance, the entire burden of the family rests on his shoulders. Fortunately, he has two older brothers who can help him manage, so Xiao Yan only needs to handle the affairs of the Yan Alliance occasionally.

Most of the time, Xiao Yan was honing his alchemy skills.

When Yao Lao was first captured, no one could understand Xiao Yan's sense of loss and panic. It wasn't until Ya Fei comforted him that Xiao Yan gradually came out of his shell. He suppressed his anger and killing intent and gradually calmed himself down by constantly refining pills.

However, precisely because of this, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills have also greatly improved. Even some sixth-grade alchemists who have been immersed in alchemy for many years are now comparable to Xiao Yan in skill.

Moreover, because Yao Lao had helped Xiao Yan break through his own bottleneck before leaving, Xiao Yan's strength had advanced from a one-star Dou Huang to a three-star Dou Huang during this period.

After watching Ya Fei leave, Xiao Yan turned around and walked back into the alchemy room he had built. He took out the medicine cauldron left by Yao Lao from his storage ring, reached out and stroked the carved patterns on it. A surge of anger rose in Xiao Yan's eyes once again.

"teacher......"

......

In the backyard of the Xiao family, upon hearing his subordinate's report, Xiao Ding turned to look at Xiao Li beside him and said, "How about it? I told you, Xiao Yanzi isn't such a fragile person. There's no problem, isn't there?"

Hearing Xiao Ding's words, Xiao Li, who was sitting to the side, smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't say that Xiao Yanzi was so fragile. But what do you think of Ya Fei?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Xiao Ding showed a hint of surprise on his face and teased, "It's rare that someone as smart as you could even notice this."

Then Xiao Ding revealed a strange smile and said, "But I advise you not to play matchmaker, otherwise I'd like to see how you explain it to Xun'er later."

Upon hearing Xiao Ding's words, Xiao Li's face also showed an expression of interest. He then glared at Xiao Ding and said, "I didn't say what I wanted. You can see the rest for yourself. I'm going to check if those brats are slacking off during training."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Li threw down the compiled roster in his hand and fled.

Xiao Ding shook his head as he watched Xiao Li's retreating figure, knowing that Xiao Li was just making excuses to avoid these troublesome matters. He then calmly reviewed the report from his disciple, making notes and markings.

Chapter 2 Going Home

After a long journey, Xiao Fan and his group quickly arrived outside the capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

Looking at the familiar city walls ahead, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun both looked somber. Along the way, as soon as they entered the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Fan and the others had already heard the news of the destruction of the Yunlan Sect.

Although the specific details of the battle at Yunlan Sect were not released, the final result spread throughout the entire empire. Xiao Fan and Yun Yun already knew that Yunlan Sect had been disbanded and Yun Shan had died.

Although Yun Yun had completely severed ties with the Yunlan Sect, she had dedicated her entire life to it, so hearing this news naturally weighed heavily on her mind.

Recalling everything that happened in Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun felt somewhat depressed.

"Xiao Fan, I...I want to go back to the Yunlan Sect..."

"Okay, I'll go with you..."

Xiao Fan did not show any surprise when he heard Yun Yun's words. He was interrupted by Yun Yun as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No need. You've just gotten back, you should go back to the Xiao family first. I have Little Fairy Doctor with me, it'll be fine..."

Yun Yun shook her head, stopping Xiao Fan. She knew that Xiao Fan must have many things to deal with after returning this time, so she did not agree. Little Fairy Doctor smiled at Xiao Fan and nodded gently to him, telling him not to worry. Then she followed behind Yun Yun and they headed towards the location of Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Fan watched the two women's figures gradually disappear, then turned around and entered the capital city.

Although Xiao Fan knew that the Xiao family had moved to the capital, he did not know their exact location. However, none of this posed a challenge for Xiao Fan.

The vast spiritual power spread directly towards the capital city, and under Xiao Fan's spiritual power perception, nothing in the capital city could escape his notice.

"Found it..."

Sensing Xiao Yan's presence, Xiao Fan's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already inside Xiao Yan's courtyard.

When Xiao Fan sensed Xiao Yan's aura, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yan would break through to the three-star Dou Huang realm so quickly.

Upon landing in the courtyard, Xiao Fan noticed that Xiao Yan was refining pills in the alchemy room. Without disturbing him, Xiao Fan surveyed the Xiao family's current state before his gaze fell upon the system.

The system shop refreshed earlier, and besides the Heavenly Spirit Poison Body, there were many other good items. However, after exchanging for the Heavenly Spirit Poison Body, Xiao Fan only had a little over three thousand Source Coins left. Adding the two thousand from the task completion reward, he only had a little over five thousand.

Fortunately, all the supplies confiscated from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were in Xiao Fan's hands. After a quick sorting, Xiao Fan kept some useful items and then exchanged everything else for them, quickly earning another 30000 Source Coins.

In fact, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's accumulation over the years should be more than this, but most of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's resources were used on Scorpion Mountain and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion. Scorpion Bi Yan himself and the Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor also consumed a lot of resources, so the fact that they were able to have 30,000 Origin Coins in the end was already quite considerable.

However, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion had already reached its limit by breaking through to the seventh rank, and there was no possibility of it breaking through again. In addition, since it was covered in poison, Xiao Fan did not bring it back, but left it with the Si Kou family.

Inside the shop, besides the Heavenly Spirit Poison Body, Xiao Fan also spotted a mid-level Spirit Gathering Array. Priced at 5000 Source Coins, he exchanged for it without hesitation. Additionally, Xiao Fan also had his eye on a puppet with the strength of a Dou Zong (Five-Star Dou Zong). While its strength was neither particularly high nor low, it was sufficient to handle any crisis in this situation.

The price of 15000 Source Coins made Xiao Fan hesitate for a moment before buying it anyway. After all, he and Xiao Yan would be leaving the Jia Ma Empire, and Xiao Fan and the others needed to leave a guarantee for the Xiao family.

After purchasing the Spirit Gathering Array and the puppet, Xiao Fan only had 15520 Source Coins left. He didn't plan to exchange any more Source Coins for the time being.

The other items that refreshed in the shop weren't particularly attractive to Xiao Fan. Besides, the shop refreshes once a month now, and Xiao Fan also planned to see what would appear next month, so he could keep some source coins in reserve.

After exchanging for the Spirit Gathering Array, Xiao Fan flew into the air, looked at the Xiao family mansion below, and briefly constructed an array diagram in his mind. Then, he busied himself carving array patterns around the Xiao family mansion.

After a while, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation came from where Xiao Yan was, and a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, which is the phenomenon that only appears when a sixth-grade pill is completed.

Despite the fact that this strange phenomenon had occurred many times before, the Xiao family members would still involuntarily look up at Xiao Yan's courtyard every time it happened.

A genuine sixth-grade alchemist is enough to make them proud.

"Array up!"

Just then, Xiao Fan finished inscribing the array patterns around the Xiao family. He landed in mid-air, pressed his palm down, and a strange energy rose from the Xiao family's territory.

"who!"

Inside the alchemy room, before he could even put away the sixth-grade pills, Xiao Yan sensed the peculiar energy rising from the Xiao family. His aura instantly changed, and the vast aura of a three-star Dou Huang erupted. He appeared in mid-air, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

"What's wrong......"

On the ground, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and the others noticed Xiao Yan's actions and their faces turned serious. Xiao Ding immediately gave a signal to someone in the shadows, wanting to send someone to ask other families for help.

Xiao Yan's sudden burst of aura naturally attracted the attention of other powerful figures in the capital. They all looked in surprise toward the Xiao family and then rushed over immediately. After all, they were now all members of the Yan Alliance, and Xiao Yan's sudden action must mean that something unusual had happened.

"Forehead......"

In mid-air, Xiao Fan hadn't expected Xiao Yan to have such a strong reaction. He had only intended to secretly install a spirit-gathering array for the Xiao family.

However, seeing so many people suddenly converging on the Xiao family's location, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, a smile appeared on his lips, and the Chaos Flame ignited, allowing Xiao Fan to hide in his black robes and reappear.

Xiao Yan looked at the black-robed man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn't sense the man's aura, so he became more vigilant. After looking at the Xiao family members below and finding that nothing was wrong, he gradually calmed down.

shhhhhh!

One by one, figures including Xing Tian, ​​Hai Bodong, and Mu Chen appeared not far away, warily observing Xiao Fan in mid-air.

Chapter 3 Join forces to fight against the enemy

"Your Excellency is hiding your true identity; who exactly are you?"

Xiao Yan stared at the black-robed man opposite him, his expression cold and his whole being exuding a sharp aura. The large Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand pointed directly at Xiao Fan.

Seeing Xiao Yan's tremendous progress, having broken through to the level of a three-star Dou Huang, Xiao Fan abandoned his idea of ​​recognizing Xiao Yan now and wanted to see how much progress Xiao Yan had made during this time.

Without answering Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Fan flashed and appeared not far in front of Xiao Yan, his palm enveloped in Dou Qi, and pressed down on Xiao Yan's chest.

Because Xiao Fan only wanted to see Xiao Yan's current strength, he did not use too much power and only used the strength of a three-star Dou Huang.

Xiao Yan noticed Xiao Fan's attack, his eyes narrowed, and he raised the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand, a wisp of cyan flame appearing as he met Xiao Fan's palm.

boom!

The two collided, their bodies jolted, and they attacked again. To conceal his identity, Xiao Fan did not use the Thousand Flame Spear, but instead used his bare hands, his fighting spirit swirling around him, and he kept punching down at Xiao Yan. Although he did not use a weapon, Xiao Fan's physique was terrifying, and he still managed to suppress Xiao Yan.

"This person is incredibly strong..."

As the strange phenomenon blocked Xiao Fan's fists, Xiao Yan kept wielding the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand, narrowly blocking Xiao Fan's attacks time and time again, which greatly surprised Hai Bodong and the others watching from the side.

"Where did this powerful expert come from...?"

Seeing the figure fighting with Xiao Yan, Jia Xingtian did not make a move immediately. After all, he could see that although Xiao Yan was at a disadvantage, he had blocked all of Xiao Yan's attacks. Although he was in a sorry state, he was at least not injured.

The key now is that, at such a sensitive time, and with such a powerful individual whom we've never heard of before, we should at least find out who he is.

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong on the other side exchanged a glance. The two old foxes understood each other's thoughts, and then silently landed on both sides of the battlefield, keeping an eye on Xiao Fan's figure.

Xiao Yan, who was at the center of the battle, was no longer a novice. He naturally noticed Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian's actions. After the incident with Yao Lao, Xiao Yan had also grown a lot and was no longer the foolish boy who rushed into Yunlan Sect.

Sensing that the person before him was no less powerful than himself, Xiao Yan did not linger in the fight. He used the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand to block Xiao Fan's powerful kick, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame burned up, forcing Xiao Fan back. Then, he pretended to slash with the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and a beam of azure light burst out from the Xuan Heavy Ruler, heading straight for Xiao Fan's face.

While Xiao Fan dodged the azure light, Xiao Yan withdrew, and Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately made their move.

"Xuan Bing Long Xiang!"

"Radiant Divine Claw!"

Taking advantage of Xiao Yan's retreat, Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian had already made preparations in secret. Hai Bodong roared and transformed into a huge ice crystal dragon, howling as he reached out a claw towards Xiao Fan.

On the other side, Jia Xingtian was not to be outdone. His fighting spirit surged forth, and his originally somewhat aged figure now resembled that of a giant. He waved his hands toward Xiao Fan, and a massive claw print, over ten feet long, descended upon Xiao Fan.

On one side was the roaring ice crystal dragon Hai Bodong, and on the other side were the ferocious claw marks that could destroy everything in their path. From a distance, Xiao Fan's thin body looked like a pitiful creature who had accidentally stumbled into the battle between the two.

Xiao Fan was not surprised at all. He stood still, as if he was stunned.

When Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong discovered that Xiao Fan did not dodge at all, although they were slightly surprised, they were even more furious.

Seeing Xiao Fan standing still, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong did not hesitate any longer. They used their fighting techniques to sandwich Xiao Fan like a sandwich filling.

Just as their attacks were about to land on Xiao Fan, he calmly stretched out his hands, and a wisp of black flame emerged from his hands. It then suddenly surged and transformed into a huge black flame dragon, roaring towards Hai Bodong.
