"Old Fellow, neither you nor I should hold out hope..."
"If we want to step into the Dou Di Realm, relying on our own efforts is no longer enough. We can only hope for some Luck..."
"Perhaps when the current younger generation can reach that Realm, we might be able to bask in their glory..."
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, breaking the silence first.
Gu Yuan heard this and then turned to look at the young man beside Xiao Xuan.
"Without a Dou Di Bloodline, reaching a three-star Dou Master at such a young age, such talent is indeed good..."
"But in the future, upon reaching Dou Zun, he will probably only be able to stop there..."
Gu Yuan said in a deep voice.
Because, in Gu Yuan's view, with the Xiao Clan having lost the help of the Dou Di Bloodline, reaching Dou Zun was already their Peak.
After all, on this continent, the Dou Sheng Realm could be said to be almost exclusively for the Ancient Eight Clans, those who possessed the Dou Di Bloodline.
Loose Cultivators who could advance to Dou Sheng were extremely rare.
Therefore, Gu Yuan did not think highly of Xiao Yi, who was beside Xiao Xuan.
But Xiao Xuan merely smiled faintly: "Dou Zun?"
"I don't think so... My Xiao Clan descendants have grown up in such a harsh environment since childhood..."
"Coupled with my personal guidance, Dou Zun will definitely not be his Peak..."
Seeing Xiao Xuan's rather confident demeanor, Gu Yuan said no more.
He just nodded.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Since you are so confident in this junior..."
"Then why not return to the Ancient World with me this time? The resources of the Gu Clan are not comparable to what Jia Nan Academy can offer..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yi immediately waved his hand: "Senior..."
"This Little Fellow appreciates your good intentions..."
At the same time, Xiao Xuan also smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "The Ancient World is good, but it is ultimately surnamed Gu..."
"What Realm this Little Fellow can ultimately reach still depends on his Luck..."
How could Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yi not understand Gu Yuan's little scheme?
Saying it was for Cultivation in the Ancient World was nothing more than an excuse to monitor them.
After all, no matter in which world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
After Gu Yuan heard this, he no longer insisted.
"Oh well, oh well..."
"How one Cultivates depends entirely on Opportunity..."
"If you have any needs, just crush this spatial jade token, and I can arrive in a breath..."
"Also, seeing that your Soul Power seems a bit unstable now, and you didn't bring any precious Medicinal Materials on this trip..."
"I brought a Medicinal Pill with me, I hope it helps you recover your Soul Power..."
As Gu Yuan finished speaking, he flicked his finger slightly.
A golden brocade box slowly appeared.
It floated and drifted into Xiao Yi's hand.
"Also, if you need anything in the future, anything within the capabilities of my Gu Clan, just say so..."
"I cannot leave the Ancient World for too long, so this is where our journey ends..."
As Gu Yuan finished speaking, golden light shimmered around his figure, and in the next second, he disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Yi also exited from that mysterious space, and everything around him returned to normal.
Xiao Yi slowly opened the brocade box that Gu Yuan had just given him.
Inside, there was a golden jade token engraved with the character "Gu."
And a Medicinal Pill glowing with red light.
"Hong Qi Soul Origin Pill..."
"That old fellow Gu Yuan, he still remembers the past friendship..."
"Knowing that I had just awakened, he deliberately came in person to deliver an Eighth Grade Pill..."
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, muttering softly.
Because as soon as Xiao Xuan saw this Medicinal Pill, he instantly knew the true purpose of Gu Yuan's personal visit this time.
It was to give him this Medicinal Pill to restore his Soul Power.
It seemed that Gu Yuan also felt some guilt about owing the Xiao Clan back then.
"An Eighth Grade Pill for restoring Soul Power!?"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but stare intently at the Medicinal Pill in the brocade box in his hand, exclaiming.
After all, this was the first time Xiao Yi had seen an Eighth Grade Pill with his own eyes.
Xiao Xuan nodded, saying softly:
"Little Fellow, don't be so surprised..."
"It's just an Eighth Grade Pill... If you want to revive me in the future, you'll still need to refine Ninth Grade Pills for me..."
Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, why didn't you directly ask Gu Yuan for help just now, to prepare the Materials needed for your revival, refine the Medicinal Pills, and directly help you revive..."
But Xiao Xuan shook his head: "Little Fellow, you don't understand..."
"What Gu Yuan is doing now is just to make up for the debt he owed the Xiao Clan back then..."
"If I were to let him help me revive, he would naturally find a way... But can you be sure that no one else in the Gu Clan would tamper with the Medicinal Pills..."
"After all, my revival might be a good thing for the Gu Clan, but if my strength returns to its Peak, it might not necessarily be a good thing for them..."
"So if I want to revive, everything depends on you..."
"Only you can I trust..."
Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice, then looked down at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi also nodded, as it indeed seemed to be the case.
To allow Xiao Xuan to revive and reach his Peak strength, both the Medicinal Pills and the chosen corpse had to be top-notch.
And if the Gu Clan were to help Xiao Xuan refine a body for revival, it's possible they might use some secret method to fix Xiao Xuan's strength at a level that could both restrain the Hun Clan and not pose a danger to the Gu Clan.
So naturally, they would not help Xiao Xuan recover his Peak strength.
The only ones who truly wanted Xiao Xuan to recover his Peak strength were indeed the Xiao Clan people.
Because only the Xiao Clan people truly wanted to see their ancestor, the strongest on the continent a thousand years ago, revive at his Peak level.
"Little Fellow, stop thinking..."
"It's better to Cultivate diligently. All these matters require you to reach Dou Sheng to accomplish..."
"Right now, thinking about these things will only add to your troubles..."
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, speaking softly.
"But didn't Senior Gu Yuan just say that I could at most reach the Dou Zun Realm..."
The corners of Xiao Xuan's mouth curved slightly upward: "Him, he knows nothing!"
"If you didn't have the Dou Di Bloodline, no matter how hard you tried, you might indeed only reach the Dou Zun Realm, unable to step into Dou Sheng!"
"But my Xiao Clan is, after all, one of the Ancient Eight Clans from back then. Our Dou Di Bloodline is just depleting faster, it's not truly gone entirely!"
"Before I self-destructed, I preserved the last of the Dou Di Bloodline. When you reach the Dou Wang Realm, I will personally perform a blood exchange for you! You will regain the Dou Di Bloodline!"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.
It was indeed as he had speculated before; the great Opportunity Xiao Xuan spoke of reaching Dou Wang was referring to the Dou Di Bloodline!
The most terrifying cheat Divine Artifact for Cultivation!
"So, I have to give you an order now..."
"In half a year, you must go from Dou Master to Dou Wang for me!"
Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.
Perhaps it would have been difficult for him before, but now with the help of that condensing crystal, Xiao Yi could reach Dou Ling faster.
Then he would gain the qualification to enter the Inner Academy and subdue the Fallen Heart Flame!
And there was also the purest fire-attributed energy in that underground magma world!
Reaching Dou Wang in half a year was more than enough...
