Chapter 45: Xuan Kong Zi: Yun Yi? Just what is his background? (Fourth Chapter!)

The entire plaza fell into silence.

Shock was written on every face!

Five-Colored Pill Thunder!

This is Five-Colored Pill Thunder!!!

Before this, even the greatest dark horse Xiao Yan could only take shortcuts to refine Four-Colored Pill Thunder!!

And most crucially, the one who refined this Dan Pill capable of drawing Five-Colored Pill Thunder was a girl barely over twenty years old.

Everyone present, whether competing Alchemists or Strongmen from all sides who came to watch, were stunned speechless by this scene.

"The Dan Family truly deserves to be the head of the Dan Domain Five Great Families; usually very low-key, yet at critical moments they can always turn the tide..."

"Now, the young talents of the other families will probably wear out the threshold of the Dan Family!"

"Such a heaven's pride daughter, who wouldn't want to get close?"

Spectators spoke words of praise one after another.

Every Alchemist looking at Dan Chen was filled with awe and admiration.

When someone else's talent is slightly higher than one's own, it breeds jealousy.

But if that talent is so high that one can't even hope to catch up, then only admiration and respect remain!

A white-haired old man stroked his beard, nodding incessantly as he looked at the spirited Dan Chen, "The Dan Family has deep Foundation/Heritage, and this Dan Chen Morning Girl is even better than blue from indigo, her future achievements are limitless!"

A young Alchemist beside him also echoed, "Yes, I originally thought this Pill Gathering championship would be taken by an outsider named Xiao Yan, but I didn't expect Dan Chen Junior Sister to hide her strength so well, preserving the face of our Dan Tower."

At this moment, Xuan Kong Zi, looking at the Five-Colored Pill Thunder in the sky, couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Usually, although he knew the Dan Family had deep Foundation/Heritage, he truly didn't expect this Dan Family girl's talent to be so high.

He himself actually had times when he misjudged someone.

"Dan Yu, Dan Yu, you really have a good daughter."

Xuan Kong Zi muttered to himself, subconsciously turning his head toward the viewing stand where Dan Yu was.

Upon looking, his gaze was attracted by a young man beside Dan Yu.

This young man stood quietly there, his aura restrained, not showing a hint of sharpness, as if he had merged into the surrounding environment.

But it was precisely this plainness that caused a nameless unease to rise in Xuan Kong Zi's heart.

Because even he actually couldn't see through this young man's depth at all.

He circulated his soul power, trying to sense Yun Yi's strength, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with not the slightest gain.

This young man was precisely Yun Yi.

At this time Dan Yu was conversing with Yun Yi.

Dan Yu had a smile on his face, his eyes showing Gratitude, "Yun Junior Brother, Morning Girl's great progress this time is probably related to you."

Yun Yi smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Hehe, Dan Brother, I'm not an Alchemist, so I can't guide her in pill refining."

"How could it be related to me..."

"Morning Girl has extraordinary talent; her achievements today are entirely due to her own ability."

"Haha, just that one Ring is already a great help."

"It's just a small matter..."

The two conversed animatedly, completely without the reserved posture between elder and junior, but rather like a pair of good friends who had known each other for many years.

Casual and at ease.

Xuan Kong Zi watched this scene, and the curiosity in his heart grew stronger.

He had been at the Dan Tower for many years and had seen countless genius Strongmen, but someone like Yun Yi, he was seeing for the first time.

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice to an elder beside him, "Do you know who that young man is? I actually can't see through him at all."

The elder also had a blank face, shaking his head and saying, "I've never seen this person, but to be on such good terms with Dan Yu, his identity must be extraordinary."

And in the next moment, Yun Yi had keenly sensed Xuan Kong Zi's gaze from that side.

He slowly turned his head and met Xuan Kong Zi's eyes.

Just a calm glance, but it made Xuan Kong Zi's heart tighten suddenly.

He could feel that this mysterious young man's gaze toward him was completely different from others'.

As the Dan Tower President, on this Zhongzhou Continent, countless people respected him greatly.

But this young man, after discovering he was being watched, had an unprecedented calmness in his gaze toward him.

As if he was just an ordinary person in the young man's eyes.

Combined with Dan Chen's "rapid progress" in pill refining strength this time, Xuan Kong Zi somewhat suspected whether there was a master secretly guiding Dan Chen behind the scenes.

And this master might very well be this mysterious young man before him.

However, at this time Xuan Kong Zi really had no time to investigate this matter.

As the Dan Tower President, he still had to continue presiding over the competition.

Not only did he have to determine the top ten of this Pill Gathering.

He also had to watch that young man Xiao Yan who carried Bone Spirit Cold Fire and faintly had Yao Chen's aura.

Xuan Kong Zi took a deep breath, Suppressed the curiosity in his heart, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "In this Pill Gathering, all participants have displayed their due strength."

"Now, I announce the top ten of this Pill Gathering..."

He quickly announced the competition results and hastily awarded the prizes.

Then he looked at Dan Chen, his eyes full of praise.

"Morning Girl, you've hidden this hand quite deeply..."

Dan Chen hehe smiled, cutely sticking out her tender tongue.

Next, Xuan Kong Zi's expression turned serious as he raised his head to look at the other nine people.

"Those of you in the top ten can go to the Star Domain in a few days to try and subdue the Three Thousand Yan Yan Fire within."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly excited.

Especially Qing Hua Lao Guai, whose eyes lit up, and he excitedly rubbed his hands together.

He had thickened his skin to attend this Pill Gathering this time, wasn't it all for this Three Thousand Yan Yan Fire?

"Hahaha, finally have a chance to try my luck again; who knows, this time the Three Thousand Yan Yan Fire might belong to this old man!"

After the competition ended, Xiao Yan was preparing to leave, but was called over by Xuan Kong Zi.

Xuan Kong Zi wore a kind smile on his face, "Little Friend Xiao Yan, please stay."

"There is a somewhat familiar aura on you; how about coming into the Dan Tower to chat in detail?"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, originally wanting to refuse, but Yao Lao told him he could agree.

He then politely cupped his hands and said, "To receive an invitation from President Xuan Kong Zi is an honor for this junior."

And Dan Chen, after the competition ended, impatiently rushed toward the viewing platform where his father and Yun Yi, Yun Yun were.

"He really came!"

It was only at this moment that Xiao Yan, following the direction Dan Chen left, finally noticed Yun Yi.

"It seems the grand gesture in the Dan Realm last time was also from Yun Yi!"

In the great hall of the Dan Tower, Xiao Yan raised the spatial ring on his hand.

Only to see a flash of light, and Yao Lao's Soul Body appeared before everyone.

As soon as the aura emerged, Xuan Kong Zi's pupils trembled instantly.

"Yao Chen, you... you're actually still alive!"

And Xuan Yi, seeing at this moment that Yao Chen was merely in the state of a remnant soul, directly covered her face with both hands.

"How could this be..."

"These many years, where have you been..."

Cao Ying was also present.

Just that her master was present, she couldn't say anything, but her eyes kept curiously looking at Yao Chen.

After all, the title of Venerable Yao was still quite resounding.

Yao Lao looked at the old acquaintances around him, smiled helplessly on his face, and his expression carried a touch of emotion.

"It's been so many years, I hope everyone is well."

"These years, fortunately heaven has eyes, allowing me to see everyone again."

Xuan Yi stood up, wanting to grab Yao Chen's hand.

But her own hand could only pass through.

"These many years, what have you experienced..." Xuan Yi stood before Yao Chen, her eyes glistening.

"Nothing much, nothing more than being betrayed by a rebellious disciple..."

Next, Yao Chen recounted his experiences over these years in a deliberately relaxed manner.

But his words carried a touch of vicissitudes.

Everyone listening sighed endlessly.

After finishing recounting his past experiences, Yao Lao's expression turned stern, and he brought up the matter of people from the Soul Hall infiltrating the Dan Realm this time to assassinate.

Xuan Kong Zi, upon hearing this, instantly flew into a rage.

He fiercely slapped the table and stood up.

"This is the Dan Tower's territory, and actually someone from the Soul Hall dares to infiltrate and commit assassination!"

"Simply not putting my Dan Tower in their eyes! Bullying/Oppression!"

"Since there's a Dou Zong strongman like Mu Gu Lao Ren mixed in... how did you survive?"

Xuan Yi at this time looked at Cao Ying who was present at the scene back then.

"It was Little Sister Dan Chen."

Cao Ying stepped forward and said softly, "Little Sister Dan Chen dealt with Mu Gu Lao Ren, and the others were killed by me and Song Qing and them together."

Hearing that it was actually Dan Chen who killed Mu Gu Lao Ren, Xuan Kong Zi's breath stopped for a beat.

"Can that girl Dan Chen have such strength?"

His voice carried a hint of doubt.

That was a Dou Zong strongman.

Facing this group of young people, it should be an existence that could crush them instantly.

However, for some reason, Xuan Kong Zi's mind suddenly flashed that young figure standing beside Dan Yu, whose origin was unknown...

Could it be him?
