Chapter 419

"Crack!" A huge sound of thunder rang out. Everyone suddenly discovered that their ears were a bit deaf, with buzzing sounds constantly, and they could no longer hear any sound.

However, in everyone's line of sight, they discovered that the thunderclouds in the sky were rapidly dissipating, then revealing the long-lost sun.

Everyone looked toward Xiao Yan's direction, discovering that Xiao Yan was still intact, only his momentum had increased.

Following the dissipation of the thunderclouds, Xuan Kong Zi also stood up from the high platform under everyone's gaze, then smiled and scanned everyone, saying, "Now that the Pill Lightning has dissipated, will all the participating contestants please bring out the pills you have refined!"

As soon as Xuan Kong Zi's words fell, pills emitting a rich medicinal fragrance appeared in this world, making the entire square filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

A total of fifteen people in the entire square succeeded in refining, ten of whom refined seventh-grade pills. These seventh-grade pills would definitely be the center of attention if it were at ordinary times.

But once compared with those five pills that possessed spirituality, the gap was still worlds apart, and even ordinary people could see the good and bad at a glance.

Because all five of those eighth-grade pills were emitting mist, and this mist constantly condensed, eventually turning into some animal images.

Among these five pills, Dan Chen's pill condensed into the shape of a rabbit, Cao Ying's condensed into the shape of a fox, and the pill refined by a green-robed old man was clearly above the two, condensing into the shape of a bear.

Only the beasts condensed by Xiao Yan and Old Mu Gu were the most ferocious, being a tiger and a giant dragon respectively. The other three beasts could only tuck their tails and sit in front of these two fierce beasts.

They saw the tiger seem to feel the pressure and roared at the giant dragon beside it, wanting to prove its status.

But the giant dragon looked at the tiger with disdain, and the tiger immediately wilted, becoming like a little cat wagging its tail.

"Hahaha! Pills are respected for their spirituality. I believe everyone already knows who the final champion is this time!" Xuan Kong Zi said with a loud laugh.

"Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!" Before Xuan Kong Zi could announce the name, thunderous cheers immediately rang out in the entire square.

"Correct! The champion of this Pill Gathering is precisely... Xiao Yan!" Xuan Kong Zi stroked his beard and announced loudly.

"Teacher, this is a little token of my heart." Xiao Yan did not care about those cheers, leaped up directly to Yao Lao's side, and handed the refined pill to him.

"You have a heart!" Yao Lao could not control his emotions at this moment, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and laughed.

"Sigh! I am still not as good as you! Look at my disciple, she doesn't know how to show filial piety to me!" Xuan Kong Zi smiled and teased deliberately.

"Who says I don't know how to show filial piety to you! If you want it, I'll give you this pill!" Upon hearing this, Cao Ying was immediately unhappy, took Xuan Kong Zi's arm, and laughed.

"Haha!" Xuan Kong Zi naturally would not want his disciple's pill, turned to Xiao Yan and said, "You have obtained the champion of this Pill Gathering, and in the future, you will also become one of the candidates for the Pill Tower giants."

"Teacher, don't just talk about these verbal rewards! That ancient soul cultivation method should also be handed over to Xiao Yan, right!" Cao Ying reminded from the side.

Hearing this, Xuan Kong Zi was suddenly between laughter and tears, then raised his hand, and an ancient sheepskin scroll appeared in his hand, then handed it to Xiao Yan and said, "This is that ancient cultivation method."

Xiao Yan took the scroll, and his heart was also happy. After all, he had already stepped into the eighth grade, and in the future, if there were no soul cultivation method, it would be estimated that the soul level would be difficult to improve rapidly.

After handing the soul cultivation method to Xiao Yan, Xuan Kong Zi then spoke again to the square, "Since the champion candidate has already appeared, then two days later, the top ten of the Pill Gathering will all have the opportunity to enter it and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame."

As soon as Xuan Kong Zi's words fell, the moods of the top ten of the Pill Gathering immediately became incomparably excited. In the past, who did not want to possess an Exotic Fire? This time, seeing Xiao Yan and Old Mu Gu's Exotic Fires showing off their power in front of them, they also incomparably wanted to possess an Exotic Fire in their hearts at this moment.

"Now I announce that this Pill Gathering has concluded successfully!" Xuan Kong Zi waved his sleeve, a burst of force erupted, and slammed into the void. The crisp sound of the bell rang out in everyone's ears once again.

After the Pill Gathering ended, Xiao Yan, led by Xuan Kong Zi and Yao Lao, also met quite a few Pill Tower elders.

These Pill Tower elders could be said to be incomparably enthusiastic toward Xiao Yan, the kind who wished they could take out their hearts, asking about his well-being in every way, making Xiao Yan feel very uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Yan also knew that these people must want him to help refine some pills that prolong life.

Regarding this, Xiao Yan did not refuse, only letting them take out some precious medicinal materials in exchange. After all, although he had collected quite a few medicinal materials from Xiong Zhan, Xiao Yan now had a big family and a big business, and his needs were great!

Xiao Yan stayed in the Pill Tower for a day in a row, and it was not until the second day that he returned to the Ye family courtyard under their reluctant gazes.

However, Xiao Yan, who returned to his residence, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, because there were many tyrannical auras in the courtyard.

Xiao Yan walked into the courtyard and saw that Xun Er was talking to a handsome youth dressed in a green robe. Behind the youth were quite a few black-armored soldiers, clearly brought by this youth.

"Xun Er, what's going on?" Xiao Yan walked to Xun Er's side and asked.

"Xun Er is also what you can call? What kind of thing are you!" Just as Xun Er wanted to answer, this green-robed youth stared at Xiao Yan with a gloomy face and said.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Xun Er and the two old men behind Xun Er, as if saying, do all the people in your Ancient Clan have this kind of attitude? Biting people when they see them?

The faces of the two old men behind Xiao Yan were suddenly a bit embarrassed. After all, they had all seen Xiao Yan's power, but these people were all sent by the Ancient Clan to take Xun Er back, and they had tokens, so they could not say anything.

"Brother Xiao Yan, it's like this. They said that Ling Quan had come to pick me up before, but their soul jade pieces suddenly shattered, which also meant that they were all dead. Yang Hao is precisely the person sent this time to investigate and incidentally take me back to the Ancient Clan." Xun Er explained.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, then said speechlessly, "Just take you back, anyway, I will also go to the Ancient Clan in a while."

"What a toad trying to eat swan meat! The Ancient Clan is also somewhere you can go just because you want to, don't daydream!" Seeing that Xiao Yan actually wanted to go to the Ancient Clan, Yang Hao immediately mocked.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yan took a deep breath, forcibly calmed down the impulse to beat this person to death, looked at Xun Er and said, "When are you leaving?"

"The elders have already issued a strict order that I must leave immediately, because the Ancient Clan will hold an adult ceremony soon, and my bloodline is not yet stable, so..." Xun Er looked at Xiao Yan, her face full of reluctance and said.
