Chapter 796: Yao Chen Appears

Xiao Xun'er, upon seeing Ling Ying appear, immediately knew that the person before her was very powerful.

After hearing Ling Ying's reminder, she also nodded with a solemn expression.

"Senior, as long as you can protect our Xiao family, I, Xiao Yan, am willing to join the Han Empire."

"Moreover, our Xiao family is also willing to join the Han Empire!"

Xiao Yan cupped his fists toward Shadow Twenty-One and said solemnly.

"Xiao Yan, I accept your request. From today onward, your Xiao family are people of my Han Empire."

"As long as one is a person of my Han Empire, they shall receive the protection of my Han Empire."

Shadow Twenty-One said with a solemn expression to the Xiao family members.

"Sir, our Xiao family is willing to join the Han Empire. From today onward, my Xiao family are people of the Han Empire!"

Hearing Shadow Twenty-One's words, Xiao Zhan, as the Xiao Clan Leader, immediately said to Shadow Twenty-One.

"Good. On behalf of the Han Empire, I congratulate your Xiao family on joining the Han Empire. These are the Identity Jade Tokens for the citizens of my Han Empire."

"Every citizen of my Han Empire has a dedicated Identity Jade Token."

"You only need to perform Blood Recognition, and you will know the uses of the Identity Jade Token!"

Shadow Twenty-One took out some Identity Jade Tokens and handed them to Xiao Zhan, explaining to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan took the Identity Jade Tokens with a puzzled expression and began performing Blood Recognition as Shadow Twenty-One had instructed.

"This..."

"What an amazing Identity Jade Token! It actually has so many functions!"

"This is... a Mystic Grade Cultivation Method!"

"There's even an Earth Grade one... there's even a Heaven Grade Cultivation Method!"

After seeing the items available in the Exchange Mall on the jade token, Xiao Zhan cried out in shock.

What did he see!

The Han Empire had actually taken out Earth Grade and Heaven Grade Cultivation Methods for the common people to exchange.

As long as one's strength met the exchange requirements and they had enough points, they could exchange for a Heaven Grade Cultivation Method.

This shocked Xiao Zhan immensely!

One must know that their Xiao family only had a single Lower Mystic Grade Cultivation Method.

A Heaven Grade Cultivation Method was simply too shocking for them!

And the Xiao family members, upon hearing Xiao Zhan's cry of shock, were also immensely shocked.

Once again, they were shocked by the foundation of the Han Empire.

A faction that could produce Heaven Grade Cultivation Methods — just how powerful must it be.

"I advise you, Xiao Clan Leader, to exchange for things you can actually use at your current stage!"

"With your cultivation, Heaven Grade Cultivation Methods are still too far from you. You cannot exchange for them at your current stage!"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's cry of shock, Shadow Twenty-One reminded him.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I understand!"

Hearing Shadow Twenty-One's words, Xiao Zhan also calmed down and said gratefully to Shadow Twenty-One.

Seeing this, Shadow Twenty-One nodded with satisfaction, then said to Xiao Yan:

"As for you, would you like to know the reason your cultivation has regressed over these three years?"

Hearing Shadow Twenty-One's words, Xiao Yan immediately became excited and asked him anxiously:

"Sir, do you know the reason my Dou Qi disappeared?"

As for the reason the Dou Qi in his body had disappeared, Xiao Yan still had not figured it out to this day.

Over these three years, he had been diligently cultivating, but after the Dou Qi entered his body, it all mysteriously vanished.

"The reason your Dou Qi disappeared is related to the ring your mother left you."

Shadow Twenty-One looked at the pitch-black ring on Xiao Yan's index finger and said.

"What!"

"Sir, you mean to say that the reason my Dou Qi disappeared over these three years was all because of this ring?"

Hearing Shadow Twenty-One's words, Xiao Yan asked in shock.

And Xiao Zhan and the others, upon hearing Shadow Twenty-One's words, also revealed expressions of disbelief.

A ring that could absorb Dou Qi — this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

"Of course it wasn't the ring itself that absorbed your Dou Qi, but the remnant soul within the ring that absorbed your Dou Qi."

Seeing the expressions of Xiao Yan and the others, Shadow Twenty-One knew they had misunderstood and quickly explained to them.

"Medicine尊者, won't you come out and meet us?"

Shadow Twenty-One stared at the ring on Xiao Yan's hand and shouted loudly.

"Sigh!"

"I didn't expect that in this Northwest Region, someone would actually know this old man!"

Under everyone's gaze, Yao Chen's figure also emerged from the ring. Looking at Shadow Twenty-One before him, he said with a sigh of emotion.

"Old thing! You're the one who absorbed this young master's Dou Qi for three years!"

"Do you know how I've spent these three years?"

Seeing that there really was a remnant soul within the ring, Xiao Yan's mentality instantly collapsed. He pointed at Yao Chen and shouted angrily.

Over these three years, he had always thought there was a problem with himself.

But he hadn't expected that all the Dou Qi he had cultivated over these three years had actually been absorbed by this old fellow.

One must know how much mockery he had endured over these three years.

"This…"

"Little fellow, don't get angry!"

"Although this old man absorbed three years of your Dou Qi, your temperament has also grown quite a bit, hasn't it?"

"Otherwise, with your former temperament, you would surely have suffered a great loss!"

"How about this — considering this old man absorbed three years of your Dou Qi, this old man is willing to take you as a disciple."

Yao Chen heard Xiao Yan's words, couldn't help but awkwardly rub his nose, and said to Xiao Yan.

"You are Medicine尊者 Yao Chen?"

At this moment, Ling Ying looked at Yao Chen, who had become a Soul Body, and asked with a face full of shock.

"Oh! So it's people of the Gu Clan — I didn't expect you had also come to this barren land of the northwest!"

Sensing the auras on Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, Yao Chen said with some surprise.

"It's really you — didn't I hear that you suffered a cultivation deviation and had already perished?"

"It seems there are still things unknown to others within all this!"

Seeing that Yao Chen had indirectly admitted it, Ling Ying said with some surprise.

"The misfortune of my sect — a traitorous disciple appeared. I've made a laughingstock of myself before you all!"

Hearing Ling Ying's words, Yao Chen said with some dejection.

Seeing this, Ling Ying instantly understood — it seemed Yao Chen had been schemed against by his disciple Han Feng.

"Xiao Yan, you may take Yao Chen as your master."

"Yao Chen, as the number one alchemist of the Dou Qi World, being able to take him as your master can also be considered a fate for you, boy!"

At this moment, seeing that Xiao Yan had迟迟 not agreed, Shadow Twenty-One also said to him.

Hearing Shadow Twenty-One's words, Xiao Yan's anger at this time also dissipated.

Moreover, after learning that Yao Chen was an alchemist, he had already agreed to Yao Chen's words.

"Disciple Xiao Yan, pays respects to teacher!"

Immediately, Xiao Yan also performed the ceremony of taking a master before Yao Chen.

"Good! From now on, you are this old man's closed-door disciple!"

Seeing this scene, Yao Chen couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"Since that's the case, Xiao Yan, from now on, you shall follow Yao Chen for now. Once our Han Empire takes this Realm, you will then follow This Seat to our Great Han Main Realm."

"When that time comes, with your talent, you would also be qualified enough to join our Great Han Imperial Academy."

Seeing Xiao Yan take Yao Chen as his master, Shadow Twenty-One said to Xiao Yan.
