Xiao Zhan stood dazed on the spot for a long time, his body appearing very stiff, like a statue that had had its entire Soul extracted in an instant.
Everything that had just happened occurred too quickly and was too bizarre, making it difficult for Xiao Zhan to fully digest this information for a moment.
Xiao Zhan slowly lowered his head, his gaze locked onto the jade bottles in his hands, which still retained a hint of mysterious warmth, as if drawn by a magnet.
His fingertips could even faintly feel the weak but pure energy fluctuations emitted by the Medicinal Pills inside the bottles, trembling gently as if possessing life.
Xiao Zhan forced himself to calm down, carefully recalling every sentence and every word that the mysterious Black Robed Man had transmitted directly into his mind:
“Taking a Disciple, imploring, Medicinal Pills…”
These words were constantly combined and deduced in Xiao Zhan’s mind.
Who was it?
Who could move such a mysterious and unfathomable Alchemist expert?
Who was the old man’s Disciple?
And who would, for the sake of the Xiao Family, for the sake of him, Xiao Zhan, go and implore their newly acknowledged teacher to bestow these incomparably precious Medicinal Pills?
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan’s expression froze, and an incredible radiance burst forth from his eyes.
The previous helplessness, confusion, and anxiety were, at this moment, completely swept away by a massive wave of ecstasy and hope!
“It is Qing’er!
It must be Qing’er!
That mysterious Alchemist Senior took him as a Disciple!”
Xiao Zhan’s heart pounded wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.
Xiao Zhan recalled Xiao Qing’s diligent Cultivation over the past few months, and recalled his steadiness that far exceeded ordinary people…
Everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation!
It must be that Qing’er had a heaven-sent Opportunity, taking this expert as his teacher, and now having achieved success in his studies, perhaps even playing a key role, he was able to move his teacher to send such precious Medicinal Pills!
Xiao Zhan no longer hesitated; with trembling hands, he carefully pulled out the stopper of one of the jade bottles.
Immediately, an indescribable, rich medicinal fragrance rushed toward him.
The fragrance was not pungent, but rather carried a gentle and mellow scent of herbal essence.
Just inhaling a tiny bit of this made the fatigue, anxiety, and pent-up frustration that had accumulated over the past few days in Xiao Zhan feel as if they had been brushed away by a spring breeze, instantly wiped clean!
His whole being was invigorated, and his eyes recovered the sharpness and vitality of his days as Clan Chief!
The moment the stopper was opened, a subtle yet incredibly clear stream of information, containing special Soul Power, was precisely injected into the Sea of Consciousness between Xiao Zhan’s brows. The source of this chapter is g.com.
This was a common way for high-grade Medicinal Pills to retain information, intended to let the user know the name and efficacy of the Medicinal Pill!
Xiao Zhan subconsciously closed his eyes, concentrating his spirit to accept and digest this external, yet non-malicious, stream of information.
A moment later, Xiao Zhan abruptly opened his eyes, a tangible glow of ecstasy bursting forth from them, his voice carrying a tremor due to excitement:
“Grade 4 gu yuan pill?!
It really is a Grade 4 gu yuan pill!
And such a high-quality gu yuan pill at that!”
Immense joy impacted Xiao Zhan, making this usually dignified Clan Chief so excited that he almost wanted to dance, like a child who had received his most beloved toy.
Only then did Xiao Zhan truly confirm that the Disciple the mysterious Alchemist expert spoke of was Xiao Qing.
Otherwise, who else would know that what Xiao Zhan most urgently lacked at the moment was the gu yuan pill!
The biggest problem that had plagued Xiao Zhan for so long had actually been solved in such an unexpected way!
“Then…
what is in the other jade bottles…” Forcing down his excitement over the gu yuan pill, Xiao Zhan’s hand reached more tremblingly toward the other jade bottles, receiving the information within them one by one.
Grade 4 Medicinal Pill, Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill!
It was not an ordinary Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, but a supreme-grade one containing three clear medicinal patterns!
The information clearly stated: If a Great Dou Master consumes this pill, it can directly increase their strength by one star, and there is a high probability of increasing it by two stars!
Even more terrifying is that the medicinal effect of this pill can be repeated; it can even be consumed once more during the Dou Ling stage, with absolutely no backlash from the medicinal effects!
What kind of Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill was this?
Grade 4 Peak Medicinal Pill, Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill!
It was also a precious pill prepared for Great Dou Masters to increase their cultivation level, with mild medicinal properties, and most importantly—it had almost no drug resistance!
One could consume two of them consecutively, which meant that Xiao Zhan could directly increase his cultivation by two stars with this pill!
Grade 4 Peak Medicinal Pill, Spirit Cleansing Pill!
Xiao Zhan had heard a little about the name of this pill; it was a supreme treasure that countless Peak Great Dou Master experts dreamed of!
After consuming it, it possessed the miraculous effect of cleansing marrow and cutting bones, which could greatly increase the success rate of a Breakthrough to the Dou Ling Realm; it could be called the golden key to knocking open the Dou Ling Realm!

This…
this was no longer just helping in times of need; this was simply giving him a smooth, heaven-reaching path!
Xiao Zhan only felt a surge of hot blood rush to the top of his head, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.
These Medicinal Pills could not only cure his beloved wife’s chronic illness, but could also completely liberate Xiao Zhan from the shackles of the Great Dou Master Realm, pointing directly to Dou Ling, or even higher!
This kindness was too great!
It was so great that Xiao Zhan was filled with endless gratitude toward Xiao Qing and that mysterious teacher, even having a feeling of unreality.
Hiss—hoo—
Xiao Zhan took a few deep, long breaths, forcibly suppressing his almost boiling blood and his body that was trembling with excitement.
Xiao Zhan inhaled and exhaled again and again, repeating this many times, and even fine beads of sweat seeped out on his forehead, before he finally managed to suppress the ecstasy that was almost bursting out of his body, restoring a surface level of calmness.
After calming down, the wisdom and caution that a Clan Chief should have regained the upper hand.
“That Senior is so mysterious, choosing to come alone in the middle of the night, gifting the pills in this way, and not explicitly stating the name of the Disciple…”
Xiao Zhan’s gaze flickered, his mind racing.
“This is clearly not wanting to expose his identity, not wanting to attract too much attention and trouble!”
Xiao Zhan instantly understood the other party’s intention.
An Alchemist who could casually take out so many high-grade, even supreme-grade Medicinal Pills, must have an identity of at least a Grade 5 Alchemist!
If his whereabouts were spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire!
Who knows how many forces would move upon hearing the news; at that time, fortune and misfortune would be unpredictable.
For the currently weak Xiao Family, too much attention often meant huge risks.
Handling it with a low profile, keeping it a secret, was the best choice.
“This matter must absolutely not be publicized!”
Xiao Zhan tightly grasped the jade bottles in his hands, his gaze becoming incomparably firm, and he said in a voice so soft that only he could hear it.
“Everything that happened tonight must be buried in my heart; it must not be mentioned to anyone, including Qian’er, Ding’er, and Li’er!”
Xiao Zhan buried this heaven-sent surprise and gratitude deep in his heart, his Face recovering its usual steadiness, but deep in his eyes, a fire of hope and high fighting spirit that had never been seen before was burning.
Xiao Zhan knew that the fate of the Xiao Family, perhaps starting from tonight, was about to change completely!
And all of this stemmed from the youth who was obscure in the Family, yet had quietly obtained a Heaven-Defying Opportunity—Xiao Qing!
