Chapter 81: The Mysterious Man

Xiao Yan stepped forward and touched the man's hand, finding it still warm, then tested his breath, finding that he was actually still breathing.

"Save him or not?" Xiao Yan was in a bit of a dilemma.

If he saved him, what if he was a bad person? Wouldn't he be dead?

If he didn't save him, as a good student of nine years of compulsory education, he would feel very bad in his heart.

"Forget it! Let's decide by flipping a coin! If it's heads, I'll save you; if it's tails, then blame your bad luck." Xiao Yan sighed, took a gold coin from his storage ring, and tossed it into the air.

After Xiao Yan tossed the gold coin into the air, he didn't wait for it to land, but carried the man on the ground and used the Wind God Leg to run towards the mountain.

"When faced with two choices, flipping a coin always works. It's not because it always gives the right answer, but because in the second you toss it into the air, you suddenly know what result you were hoping for..."

"I really want to find someone to test it on!" Xiao Yan was a bit restless and wanted to test his current strength.

"Great-Grandfather! Did you get the Longevity Pill?" A beautiful woman dressed in military uniform asked the old man who had just flown in.

"I got it!" The old man raised the jade bottle in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan ran far away before finding a place to stop and quietly waiting for the breakthrough. It wasn't that Xiao Yan didn't want to stay in the cave to break through, but that the man in white had drawn all the heaven and earth energy in the vicinity to himself. If he stayed there, he would likely fail the breakthrough. And looking at the momentum that person was emitting, he was at least at the Dou Wang level. If he had any malicious intent, wouldn't that be the end of it!

Imperial Palace of the Imperial Capital.

Just when Xiao Yan was puzzled, the man in white on the ground suddenly formed seals with both hands, and strands of heaven and earth energy constantly gathered towards him. Subsequently, the space around his body began to distort, forming a huge vortex that wrapped him inside.

"That youth named Nie Feng is extremely outstanding in both cultivation talent and alchemy. If he were really from Zhongzhou, that would be fine! But if he were from our Gama Empire..." Jia Xingtian said worriedly.

Xiao Yan darted through the forest, searching for a long time, but only found one or two Tier 1 magical beasts; he didn't see any others. So he had to helplessly give up the idea in his heart and continue his adventure.

"Mr. Nie Feng should have appeared in the Imperial Capital more than a month ago. I checked his residence; that should be the place where he temporarily lived, and there are traces of alchemy inside. In the ten-plus days after he passed the assessment to become a first-grade alchemist, he should have been refining medicine in that courtyard. Subsequently, I found the landlord who rented the house to him, then kept checking his whereabouts, and found traces he left behind in an inn. But when I asked the innkeeper about his appearance, I had a new discovery." Yao Ye kept recounting the results of her investigation during this period.

"This is also my first time saving someone, and I'm not very clear if it will be useful! You'll have to leave it to fate!" Xiao Yan sat cross-legged behind the man, stretched out both hands, his palms covered with white flames, and then pressed them against the man's back.

"Does Great-Grandfather want to take action against him?" Yao Ye asked with a smile.

"Damn, how are all his meridians broken? Although my Exotic Fire can also repair meridians, how long will this take to repair!" Xiao Yan controlled the Exotic Fire, and after it entered the man's meridians, he was shocked; the man's body was simply in a terrible state.

The heaven and earth energy lasted for a long time before it gradually began to dissipate. At this time, a star lit up again in the cyclone in Xiao Yan's body.

"7-star Dou Zhe!" A proud smile bloomed on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth.

"Great-Grandfather is right. With his talent, as long as he is given some time, it will be enough for him to become an existence that surpasses Gu He. By then, whether he joins a certain sect or establishes a force of his own, it will be an easy task. That is to say, our Gama Empire will have another force similar to the Yunlan Sect, or even more powerful than the Yunlan Sect, because he also has a close relationship with President Fama." Yao Ye also strongly agreed with Jia Xingtian's point of view.

"Hmm? Do you have a way?" Jia Xingtian raised his eyes to look at Yao Ye and asked suspiciously.

"Damn, it's a bit terrifying! Is this person this strong?" Xiao Yan looked at the man in white on the ground with some surprise. But something that surprised Xiao Yan even more happened; he saw that the heaven and earth energy around Xiao Yan also began to gradually increase.

"What discovery?" Jia Xingtian pressed.

Under Xiao Yan's sleepless treatment, ten days passed, and the meridians in the man's body were all repaired.

"Damn it! It's simply too tiring; I won't save people casually in the future." Xiao Yan withdrew his hands and exhaled deeply.

Xiao Yan was now an advanced Dou Zhe, and both the quantity and quality of the Dou Qi in his body had been significantly improved. His strength had increased several times; at this time, even a Dou Shi would fall into Xiao Yan's hands if they were not careful.

"But why is Great-Grandfather not happy at all?" The woman asked suspiciously.

"I thought I could get some benefits, but I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful! Forget it, I didn't expect a reward for doing a good deed, and this breakthrough reached 7-star Dou Zhe, so it can be considered a bit of a gain!" Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, then comforted himself.

It had been ten days, and Xiao Yan hadn't stopped for a moment in between, because as long as he stopped, all previous efforts would be in vain. When Xiao Yan was helping this man repair his meridians, he found that there seemed to be a force in his body that was constantly destroying his meridians. If Xiao Yan stopped, the meridians he had repaired would shatter again.

After Xiao Yan carried the man to the mountainside, he used Exotic Fire to burn out a cave, then put the man inside, letting him maintain a cross-legged sitting posture.

Yao Ye could manage the empire's 50,000 iron cavalry in an orderly manner at a young age, and she was also proficient in government affairs and could offer advice at critical moments.

"Eh! Aren't the meridians all repaired? Logically speaking, he should have woken up? Why is there still no movement?" Xiao Yan touched his chin and looked at the motionless man suspiciously.

The energy between heaven and earth gathered around Xiao Yan's body, forming a huge vortex, wrapping his body inside just like the person just now. However, this vortex was obviously not as good as that person's just now, and it was not just a little bit worse.

"Sigh! Having a mysterious and unpredictable master, and having a very close relationship with Fama of the Alchemist Guild, and now he is nowhere to be found; it's really troublesome!" Jia Xingtian sighed.

"Damn! I'm going to break through too!" Xiao Yan cursed, then stopped waiting for the man on the ground to wake up and ran out quickly.

"Sigh! Forget it, since I've saved him, there's no reason to give up halfway." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and began to continue repairing the man's meridians.

"During this period of time, through my continuous investigation, I have indeed discovered some clues." Yao Ye said.

Xiao Yan hadn't just been repairing the man's meridians for the past ten-plus days; he had also helped him refine that violent force. Most of this force was absorbed by the Exotic Fire in Xiao Yan's body, and a small part entered the cyclone in Xiao Yan's lower abdomen.

"Discovered clues? Tell me about it!" Jia Xingtian was quite satisfied with this great-granddaughter.

"I discovered that he had disguised himself!" Yao Ye said word by word.

"Disguised himself!" Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.
