Chapter 426 Ancient Ruins
However, after learning that Xiao Yan was a Dou Zun, the dejected look on Mu Qingluan's face disappeared. After all, wasn't it natural for a Dou Zong to be defeated by a Dou Zun?
At this time, Mu Qingluan's gaze towards Xiao Yan changed again. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. The more she looked at him, the more charming he seemed to her, as if there was a sun behind him. After all, even though she had provoked him so much, Xiao Yan never made a move.

Xiao Yan naturally didn't know what Mu Qingluan was thinking. He walked up to the old man in green, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Master Feng!"

"Haha, no need to be so polite! Yao Chen has found a good disciple!" The more Venerable Feng looked at Xiao Yan, the more satisfied he became. After all, Xiao Yan not only helped Yao Lao to resurrect, but also refined a pill for him that could restore his strength. This was much better than that traitor and ungrateful person.

Venerable Feng brought Xiao Yan to the lobby of Xingyun Pavilion, where Xiao Yan met many familiar faces from the Northwest Continent, including Yun Yun.

Xiao Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he looked at Yun Yun, who was wearing a tight-fitting brocade robe with golden and purple trims and whose three thousand black hair was tied up into the shape of a phoenix's cry.

Facing Xiao Yan's slightly aggressive gaze, Yun Yun's face suddenly turned red and she moved her head to the side.

"Hehe, after you left Tianxiahui, most of the affairs of Tianxiahui were handled by Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran. After Xingyun Pavilion was merged into Tianxiahui, Yun Yun was in charge of the affairs here. As for the northwest, your two brothers are in charge, and Yunshan is helping. Now Yunshan has broken through to the Dou Zun level, and we have already warned about the hidden forces in the northwest before we came, so you don't have to worry too much about the northwest." Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and told the leader some things about Tianxiahui.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and felt more grateful. He had come to Zhongzhou in a hurry before and had not considered the affairs of the Tianxia Association at all. He did not expect that Yun Yun was the one behind the scenes helping to manage the situation.

Although Yao Lao is quite powerful, he, like Xiao Yan, does not want to be in charge of anything. When he founded Xingyun Pavilion, he directly handed it over to Feng Zun to manage.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and said with a smile.

"It's just managing some trivial matters. It's not hard at all." Yun Yun said with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan checked Yun Yun's current strength and found that she had only reached the peak of Dou Zong. He immediately had an idea in his mind.

After everyone discussed the future development plan of Tianxiahui in the hall, Xiao Yan called Yao Lao aside and asked him how to awaken Medusa. After all, Medusa has been sleeping!
When Xiao Yan was in Shengdan City, he asked Yao Lao about it. However, Yao Lao didn't have any good solution for the problem of damaged soul origin at that time. He could only slowly find a solution.

"Oh! I really don't know how you can mess with girls like this. Even Medusa is willing to give her life for you!" Yao Lao sighed and looked at Xiao Yan and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head. He had not expected Medusa's behavior!
"Then has the teacher found a solution?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao expectantly.

Hearing this, Yao Lao stroked his beard and said calmly, "Medusa burned her soul essence to forcibly increase her strength, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. Although you used a lot of soul-recovering herbs, it still didn't help."

"Yes! I have used all the herbs that can repair the soul, but there is still no effect." Xiao Yan sighed. He used all the herbs that can restore the soul that he collected from Xiong Zhan on Medusa, but it was of no use at all.

"That's because those herbs can only restore soul power, but the origin of the soul is different. The so-called origin of the soul is also called the original soul energy." Yao Lao explained.

"Original soul energy?" Xiao Yan was stunned. He also knew about the original soul energy. It was the root of the soul, like the root of a big tree. If the original soul energy was lost, it would cause indelible damage to the soul and the strength would not be able to improve.

The Soul Palace captured so many souls in order to extract the original soul energy in order to set up a large formation.

"It seems that you already know it. The original soul energy is the foundation of the soul and it is difficult to be changed by external forces. This is why you have used so many soul recovery herbs but to no avail. There are only two kinds of rare things that can repair the origin of the soul, namely the Soul Infant Fruit and the Spirit Dragon Heavenly Ganoderma. However, these two rare things are rare in the world and very difficult to find. I have only seen them in ancient books." Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said with a faint smile.

"Haha, it seems that Teacher knows where it is." Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and smiled.

Hearing this, Yao Lao smiled faintly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. Recently, an ancient ruin is about to be opened, and there is news that there is a Soul Infant Fruit there. Moreover, this ancient ruin not only has the Soul Infant Fruit but also other very precious things. If you get them, your strength will increase greatly. However, the opening of this ancient ruin has attracted many forces to participate, including our old rival Soul Palace, so if you go there this time, you still have to be more careful."

Xiao Yan nodded. He also had an impression of this ancient relic. There were many good things in it, not only Soul Infant Fruit, but also countless precious medicinal materials. Of course, the most important ones were the remains of the Fighting Saint and the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Xiao Yan didn't need the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and he didn't know how to use it, so it would be better to give it to Zi Yan. However, Xiao Yan wanted the Fighting Saint's remains very much.

Ever since he swallowed the Void Devouring Flame and the Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Yan has not used the strange fire to temper his body, which has resulted in Xiao Yan's physical advantage being very small.

Even if Xiao Yan has broken through to the Dou Zun level now, his combat power is only equivalent to that of a seven-star or eight-star Dou Zun.

Although this was already very impressive, after all, no one-star Dou Zun could challenge those above level six or seven, but Xiao Yan was still somewhat unsatisfied, because Xiao Yan's opponent was simply too strong.

The Tianxiahui's top combat power is extremely scarce, and now it's just for bluffing. Once the Soul Palace sends out a Douluo-level warrior, the Tianxiahui will be destroyed in minutes.

Xiao Yan, as the backbone, cannot rely on others but himself, so it is urgent to seize the remains of the Fighting Saint and forge his body with strange fire.

Of course, this trip will definitely not be too smooth, because the Soul Palace does not know what kind of strong people will be sent.

Since the ancient ruins were about to be opened, Xiao Yan did not delay too much. After resting for a night in Xingyun Pavilion, he set off directly.

However, this time, Xiao Yan only brought Zi Yan, who could break the seal, and Mu Qingluan, who was more familiar with the Beast Domain.

Those good things in the ancient ruins all have strong seals, so it is most appropriate to take Zi Yan with you on the adventure. Besides, after Zi Yan's adventure is over, it is probably time for her to return to her family. After all, Zi Yan has been summoned more than once since she entered Zhongzhou, but she has always been unwilling to go back.
