Chapter 163: Zi Yan: Don't call me sister, call me Auntie!

"How adorable, is it a boy or a girl this time?"

Zi Yan also leaned in toward the child.

"Replying to Miss Zi Yan, it is a young master!"

The midwife replied respectfully with a smile on her face.

"It's a boy... I actually prefer girls a bit more!"

Zi Yan muttered to herself, her tone sounding somewhat disappointed, as if she were the one who had given birth to the child, critiquing it.

"Cai'er, look at our child, he is a little man..."

Once Cai'er had recovered a little, Gu Fei wiped the sweat from her face, then took the child from Zi Yan's arms and handed him to Cai'er.

"My child... the aura of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python..."

Cai'er instantly sensed the familiar aura of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python within the child's body.

She understood that the reason the child was born a Dou Zong was likely because he had borrowed the power of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python; because the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python had not completely dissipated before, it could now be considered reborn through the child's body.

"Have you thought of a name for the little one?"

Xiao Yixian suddenly asked at this moment.

Hearing this, Gu Fei paused slightly, looked at the child still crying in his arms, and laughed.

"My child is a natural-born Dou Zong, which can be called peerless in the world, so I shall name him Wushuang, Gu Wushuang! How about that?"

"Wushuang!"

"This name is fine, it sounds imposing!"

"I hope the little one will become a man in the future, as excellent as his father..."

In the room, everyone affectionately called out the name Gu Wushuang. Wushuang seemed to know this was his name; as he listened, he actually stopped crying and started to laugh instead.

"A crying Dou Zong, that is also the first time I have seen such a thing in my life."

Gu Fei looked at Wushuang dotingly.

Two-and-a-half-year-old Xiao Xianle was also very happy: "Great, I have a younger brother!"

She ran over cheering, and Xiao Yixian took the opportunity to pick up Xiao Xianle.

Letting her get closer to see Wushuang.

To the side, Zi Yan saw the happy appearance of Gu Fei's family, pouted her little mouth slightly, and muttered in her heart: "I also really want to give birth to a child for Big Brother Gu Fei!"

Not long after Wushuang was born, Gu Fei planned to refine a Pill for Wushuang again.

Although Gu Fei would not do anything to force growth, he could improve the child's constitution.

And this time, on the day Gu Fei's Pill was completed, Eight-Colored Pill Lightning descended directly from the sky.

His progress in Alchemy was almost no different from his progress in cultivation.

While Gu Fei was refining the Pill, Zi Yan quietly came to Xiao Xianle's side.

"Xiao Xianle, do you want to eat this spirit fruit?" Zi Yan used the item to tempt Xianle.

"I do!"

"Sister Zi Yan, hurry and give it to me to eat!"

Looking at the mouth-watering spirit fruit in Zi Yan's hand, Xianle nodded her little head rapidly.

"Alright, then stop calling me sister, call me Auntie and let me hear it!"

The smile on Zi Yan's face grew a bit deeper.

"Sister Zi Yan, why do you suddenly want me to call you Auntie?"

Xiao Xianle felt confused by this form of address.

"Don't ask, anyway if you call me that, this spirit fruit will be yours. From now on, I will steal one such spirit fruit for you every day!"

"Every day? That's good, I'll call you, I'll call you, hello Auntie Zi Yan!"

Zi Yan smiled slightly.

If she wanted to give birth to a child for Gu Fei, she had to start by changing their seniority.

Central Plains Southern Region, Starfall Pavilion.

Xiao Yan and his teacher had been here for half a year already. With the protection of Venerable Feng and the provision of resources, the situation for the teacher and student was much better.

Although Yao Lao still had not been able to obtain a physical body, his soul strength had recovered a great deal.

As a close friend of Venerable Feng and a founder of the Starfall Pavilion, the Starfall Pavilion mobilized the entire pavilion's strength to search for medicinal herbs to restore Yao Lao's soul strength and to look for news of an Exotic Fire for Xiao Yan.

Only if Xiao Yan obtained an Exotic Fire could he refine a physical body for Yao Lao.

Letting Yao Lao be reborn.

"Do you have any plans for what comes next?"

One day, Venerable Feng, Feng Xian, came to the residence of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan and looked at Xiao Yan to ask.

"In order to reshape a body for my teacher, and also so that I can obtain stronger power, I must continue to search for an Exotic Fire... I must find an Exotic Fire and let my teacher be reborn!"

Xiao Yan said in a very firm tone, while clenching his fists, his heart filled with complete unwillingness.

He had clearly obtained information on several Exotic Fires along his journey, but every time he was a step slower and someone else got there first.

His heart was both angry and helpless.

"Exotic Fires are something one encounters by chance, not something one can seek; relax your state of mind."

Feng Xian patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said.

"Within the Pill Tower, there is an Exotic Fire named Three Thousand Burning Flame. As long as one can enter the top ranks of the Pill Gathering, one can obtain the opportunity to refine it. This is also the only Exotic Fire whose whereabouts are currently known."

After Yao Lao finished speaking, Feng Xian frowned, his lips opening and closing, as if he had some unspeakable difficulty.

Hesitating for a moment, Feng Xian still spoke it out: "The Pill Tower's Exotic Fire... it was already refined by someone a few years ago."

"What, the Exotic Fire of the Pill Tower is also gone?"

"That means, participating in the Pill Gathering, there are no rewards at all!"

Xiao Yan, who was to the side, learned that the Three Thousand Burning Flame had already been taken away by someone; his face was full of shock, and then he became very dejected.

Ancient Realm.

Gu Fei calmed his breath and focused his mind; the Exotic Fire swam in his hands like a swimming dragon possessing its own intelligence.

Regarding the control of flames, Gu Fei had already reached an extremely high realm.

He focused all his attention on driving the Exotic Fire to refine medicinal herbs one by one; under the scorching of the Exotic Fire, the medicinal herbs gradually turned into a mass of crystalline liquid, and beside the alchemy furnace were several other such masses of liquid.

"Fuse for me!"

Finally, Gu Fei fused the several masses of liquid together and controlled the Exotic Fire to condense them.

But as time passed, he suddenly felt a moment of mental trance, and subsequently, that mass of medicinal essence that had already fused together emitted a "hissing" sound, and then shattered.

Finally, it was turned into a pile of ashes by the Exotic Fire.

"Still failed..."

Seeing this, Gu Fei felt somewhat melancholy and also somewhat disappointed; this time, what he was refining was a Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill, but unfortunately, it failed.

"My soul power is already insufficient to support me in refining higher-level pills."

Gu Fei felt that his own soul power seemed to have limited the progress of his Alchemy.

As he was now, his soul realm had long since stepped into the late stage of the Spirit Realm; if he wanted his Alchemy to advance further, stepping into the Heavenly Realm would be the best.

And the best way to improve soul power was to search for heavenly treasures, but heavenly treasures were hard to come by and simply could not be found anywhere.

"There is only that one place left!"

Thus, Gu Fei thought of a place: Soul Hall.

This force constantly harvested souls and extracted Soul Origin; if he could plunder the Soul Origin from one of its three main halls, Gu Fei's soul power would undergo a qualitative change.

The reason why the people of the Soul Clan collected souls on a large scale was also to improve their own soul power and make themselves more powerful.

Of course, this matter still required caution, because Gu Fei knew that within the Ancient Clan, there were also spies planted by the Soul Clan.

He was currently the number one person among the younger generation of the Ancient Clan, and his whereabouts might be under the attention of the Soul Clan.

Perhaps he was already being watched by the Soul Clan now, and he might be ambushed by experts of the Soul Clan at any time when he was outside.

Even though he already understood the Soul Clan very well, and was even clear about their background and motives, he still could not help but harbor wariness toward them; this was the terror of this race.

He could not make a move openly, and if he asked a Gu Clan Elder to make a move, he feared it would expose him even more.

All three main halls of the Soul Hall had experts guarding them.

He must find an expert at the Dou Sheng level to accompany him.

Thus, Gu Fei thought of Zi Yan.

With Zi Yan's current strength, as long as the Hall Master of Soul Hall, Hun Miesheng, did not make a move personally, there should be no one in the Soul Hall capable of keeping her in check.

"This girl Zi Yan is of great use right now..."

A smile was on Gu Fei's face; in order to successfully persuade Zi Yan, he had specifically prepared many Sugar Pills.

This thing had absolutely no resistance for Zi Yan.

After preparing, Gu Fei left the room to find Zi Yan, and happened to see Zi Yan playing with Xiao Xianle.

Zi Yan held an enticing fruit in her hand, while Xiao Xianle looked at that fruit with a face full of longing, unable to wait to eat it.

Next, Zi Yan took the opportunity to ask a question to entice Xiao Xianle, and this sentence happened to be heard by Gu Fei who had rushed to this place.

"Be good, call me 'Auntie' again and let me hear it!"

Gu Fei: "?"
