1088. Prepare with a calm mind
Once all seven people were in place, Yan Yu's face showed a serious expression. He even opened the door to check if anyone was eavesdropping.
Mu Xiaoyue asked, puzzled, "Old Yan, what is it? Is it that serious?"
After confirming that no one else was around, Yan Yu turned around, took a deep breath, and said to the others, "Actually, the Alliance Leader specifically sought me out the day after Yan Xiwen returned."
Yao Yang asked curiously, "Oh? Did they say anything?"
"The Alliance Leader specifically instructed me that nothing should be revealed about what happened this time, especially what happened after Yan Xiwen was controlled by that strange soul power."
The group exchanged glances and couldn't help but reveal meaningful smiles. Yan Ling said, "It seems that this matter is far from over. The manor is forbidding us from talking about it in order to prevent the impact from spreading."
"At the same time, the Lord of the Manor also gave me some things."
At this point, Yan Yu paused, his voice even trembling slightly. Others didn't notice, but his partner, Yan Ling, heard it clearly and knew that the situation might not be simple.
"Brother Yu, what is it? Is it important?"
Yan Yu nodded vigorously: "It's quite important; it's worth 100,000 contribution points!"
"hiss--"
Upon hearing this result, everyone in the room couldn't help but gasp, not for any other reason than that the contribution points reward was simply too much.
Even if these scores were divided into seven parts, they would still be ridiculously high.
Tang Meng also subconsciously asked, "Among us, Brother Yaoyang should have accumulated the most contribution points. How many do you have now?"
Yao Yang answered without hesitation, "No more than eight thousand four hundred and sixty-three."
Even elite Dou Zun level experts like them, without much extravagance, could only accumulate a few thousand contribution points. This time, the manor simply gave out a reward of 100,000 contribution points, which, when averaged out, still far exceeded their previous accumulations.
It's safe to say that the seven of them have already made a fortune thanks to that previous treasure hunt in the secret realm!
"Are these really for us?" Lianhua couldn't help but lick his lips, feeling both excited and worried that these contribution points had nothing to do with them and that it was just a beautiful misunderstanding.
"These were entrusted to me by both lords; there's absolutely no way they could be false!"
Because Xiao Yan had been in seclusion for a long time, Little Fairy Doctor had taken over the management of the entire Guiyuan Mansion on his behalf, thus earning the title of Mansion Master. Yan Yu's mention of two Mansion Masters further underscored the importance of this matter.
"Hahaha, great! After this is over, I'm going to listen to some folk songs right away!" Mu Xiaoyue said with a big laugh.
"Great minds think alike; it's time to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet."
Although the others had different thoughts, they were all equally excited. Although they hadn't gained anything from the ruins themselves, the Alliance's rewards outside the ruins were quite generous.
However, they soon realized that this huge reward was also an extremely important hush money payment. Once they received it, it meant they could never talk about going to that strange ruin or Yan Xiwen being possessed again.
They didn't know exactly what happened, but the only thing they were sure of was that the site must be extremely important.
……
For the next two months, Xiao Yan followed Yao Lao. For Xiao Yan, the Pharmacopoeia was also a good opportunity to improve his alchemy skills. Not only could he observe the techniques of other ninth-grade alchemists, but Xiao Yan was also truly preparing to refine a genuine ninth-grade pill with his heart.
In the past three years, Yao Lao has devoted most of his energy to alchemy. He has not only absorbed a wide range of pharmacological knowledge that he did not understand before, but has also begun to think originally. Even his most proud method of spirit fusion seems to have made some unprecedented progress.
Thus, the master and apprentice began studying together again.
To be precise, the three of them should be working together, especially since Xiao Qingqing is already studying with Master Yao.
Because Xiao Qingqing is currently in the foundational stage and has only just sensed her battle qi, her academic workload is not heavy at all. The focus is simply on building a solid foundation for her while allowing her to subtly learn about alchemy techniques.
During this process, Xiao Qingqing's talent was already revealed. She not only demonstrated the ability to remember everything she saw, but also showed extreme sensitivity in her soul power, and her subconscious selection of drugs was quite accurate.
In the words of the old doctor, this was simply another promising talent sent to him by God.
All of this is actually thanks to Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor; there are traces to be found in the inheritance of their talents.
Just as the bloodline of the Dou Di is continuously passed down to future generations, the talents of parents are also uncontrollably inherited by their children. Xiao Yan is a ninth-grade alchemist with extremely high alchemy skills, and Xiao Yi Xian is a master proficient in both medicine and poison. Their daughter, Xiao Qing Qing, was born after much difficulty, and as expected, she did not go astray. Combining the talents of her parents, she is poised to become an astonishing genius in this field.
Xiao Qingqing's environment was arguably the best on the entire continent, with four ninth-grade alchemists she could consult. She also had access to many other young prodigies, such as Yao Qingyu and Wei Jiangyuan, who adored her and would often find ways to test and tease her after learning about her alchemy studies.
The learning process was anything but boring; on the contrary, it was quite interesting and suited Xiao Qingqing's taste perfectly. Therefore, while Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were working on the pharmacopoeia, their progress could be temporarily set aside, while Xiao Qingqing's progress was the most real and tangible.
If Xiao Qingqing weren't temporarily unable to condense her fighting spirit and control her own flame, it wouldn't be surprising at all that she could refine a first-grade pill with her current abilities.
……
"Three months is almost up. It's time to set off in a couple of days." Xiao Yan turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently, then seemed to remember something and rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan: "You don't even remember the day you set off. You're getting lazier and lazier."
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Yan laughed heartily and stretched.
"It's easy to forget things when you're practicing with your teacher. As for the departure time, my wife would never forget it."
"Has the team composition for this trip to Thunder Clan and Medicine Clan been finalized?"
Little Fairy Doctor introduced in an orderly manner: "You, Elder Yao, Elder Lin, Elder Huo Zhen, Little Wei, Xun'er, and Zi Yan. A full lineup of Dou Sheng will make everything more convenient."
Xiao Yan thought about it and realized that this lineup was indeed quite complete, and it was full of Dou Sheng powerhouses, which was really luxurious.
