The Alchemy Conference was finally over. Everything went according to Ling Xiao's plan.
When Ling Chen announced that Ling Xiao would join the Council Hall, no one dared to object.
How could they dare to offend such a monstrous Divine Alchemist?
If he became a supreme Divine Alchemist in the future, they would be willing to kneel down and beg him to accept them as his servants.
However, Ling Xiao's position as a Council Elder was only nominal. He didn't have the time to participate in meetings often.
He would only participate when there was a major decision and Ling Chen needed his support.
Ling Xiao temporarily suppressed the Divine Body Faction for Ling Chen, and his limelight also set off a frenzy of worship in the Dragon Gate!
Many of the younger generation regarded Ling Xiao as their idol and role model. They all hoped to work for Ling Xiao's peak as an honor.
This was also because many inner sect disciples wanted to become Ling Xiao's personal disciple. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or alchemy, Ling Xiao had become the person they most wanted to be apprenticed to.
Ling Chen also asked Ling Xiao if he wanted to accept some disciples, but Ling Xiao temporarily refused with the reason of cultivation.
In the following days, Ling Xiao personally went to Zheng Can's peak to discuss alchemy with him.
Ling Xiao had the inheritance of the Divine Alchemist and could be said to be equivalent to half a Divine Alchemist, so he naturally had a well-thought-out plan when discussing alchemy with Zheng Can.
Zheng Can had been practicing alchemy for tens of thousands of years. He was also under the tutelage of a famous teacher, so he had his own unique understanding of many alchemy paths.
The two of them talked with great relish, especially Zheng Can's suggestions to Ling Xiao. He felt enlightened and suddenly understood that alchemy could improve the purity of alchemy in this way.
Zheng Can admired Ling Xiao very much, and he became much more polite and familiar with him.
In the end, the two of them called each other brothers and became good friends.
Ling Xiao did not mind. He felt that Zheng Can looked rather arrogant, but that was a character cultivated by an alchemist. He could not be blamed. In reality, he was a rather straightforward and upright person.
"Brother Ling, tell me honestly, did you have some kind of amazing opportunity? These alchemy techniques are really unheard of and unseen!" Zheng Can asked curiously.
This was originally a taboo question, but Zheng Can and Ling Xiao were familiar with each other, so he naturally asked.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It's fine if Brother Zheng knows, but don't let others know. My strength is still limited!"
Ling Xiao answered tactfully. He did not want to announce it everywhere and let others know about it. It was very easy for others to be wary of him.
"Brother, don't worry. I feel like old friends with you at first sight. I'm definitely not that kind of gossipy woman!"
Zheng Can said solemnly. He then said, "It's a pity that you are still a little weak. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have the strength to aspire to the Sovereign Alchemy God."
"Hehe, this can't be rushed. Brother, you have the greatest chance right now!" Ling Xiao smiled modestly. "I can't do it anymore.
"I can't do it anymore. I've been stuck in this realm for tens of thousands of years. If I could ascend, I wouldn't have waited until now." Zheng Can revealed a desolate expression. Then he said, "Brother, with your level, you should go to the Tianyuan Region to gain experience. There are many divine alchemists there, and there are even supreme alchemists. Being able to communicate with them is absolutely beneficial for you!"
Tianyuan Region, the holy land of alchemists, Ling Xiao had heard of it more than once or twice.
This made Ling Xiao somewhat yearn for it, but right now, he did not have the leisure to do so.
Days passed by, and Ling Xiao returned to his own mountain peak to cultivate with Yun Mengqi. He hoped that his strength would reach a new level, and then he would return to the Mystic Spirit Continent to bring his family up.
In his spare time, Ling Xiao had to concoct pills for some elders who came to ask for pills.
Of course, these elders all had some weight in the sect. Otherwise, they would not dare to ask Ling Xiao for help.
Ling Xiao also made friends with many people and strengthened the people of Kim people's faction.
At the same time, he had already placed a Soul Locking Curse on Nie Dao, controlling his every move.
Nie Dao had also learned a lot about the movements of the Divine Body Faction from his master. Ling Xiao told this information to Ling Chen in advance so that he could be on guard.
With Ling Xiao's guidance, Ling Chen was able to deal with the Divine Body Faction easily. He overruled the Divine Body Faction many times, showing his authority as the leader of a sect.
Ling Xiao was not interested in the internal strife of the Dragon Gate. He knew from Nie Dao that those old fellows did not dare to take it seriously. After all, Kim people had supported Ling Chen after the Dragon Gate incident. Unless they had the guts to face the wrath of those old fellows, they would only let the younger generation fight for it, and those old fellows would not show up easily.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao and Yun Mengqi had stayed in the Dragon Gate for a year.
In this year, Ling Xiao and Yun Mengqi were very happy, and their strength had also increased.
Meanwhile, Yurou Fei and Sha Tian finally relied on the resources provided by Ling Xiao to successfully advance from the Demigod King Realm to the low-level Godly King Realm.
However, at this time, the Blazing Flame Merchants, Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing suddenly came to visit.
Ling Xiao did not know how to deal with this.
He knew how these two women felt about him. Now that Yun Mengqi was by his side, he did not know what would happen.
When he saw Lie Ruyu again, her face, which was not inferior to Yun Meng Qi's, was still as bright and beautiful as before. Her bright silk dress accentuated her figure to perfection. Zhou Zhijing was also beautiful. She always gave people the impression that she was a lady from a noble family. She was the type of virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Ling Xiao, you really made us wait. You didn't even come to see us. You were only satisfied when we came to see you!"
Lie Ru Yu shouted as if she was going to interrogate him. Her beautiful eyes rippled with dense resentment, and she seemed like a little wife that had been abandoned.
Ever since Ling Xiao visited them a few years ago, Ling Xiao had never been to Blazing Flame City again. No wonder Lie Ruyu was so popular.
At this time, Yun Mengqi quietly appeared behind Ling Xiao and asked, "Husband, who are they?"
Yun Mengqi looked at Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing with vigilance in her eyes. She didn't call them "Xiao" like Chang Wang did, but instead called them "husband". She also held onto Ling Xiao's hand, as if she was showing off to the two women.
As expected, when Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing saw Yun Mengqi, they were stunned.
They did not expect Ling Xiao to have such a fairy-like wife by his side.
Lie Ruyu felt wronged in her heart. She knew that she was not inferior to Yun Mengqi at all. Why did Ling Xiao not choose her?
What could Ling Xiao do in this situation? He could only give a simple introduction.
When Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing found out that the woman in front of them was Ling Xiao's wife from a long time ago, they felt a little better in their hearts.
After all, Ling Xiao had once told them that he had many wives and concubines.
On the other hand, Yun Mengqi was a little jealous. She had heard Ling Xiao mention that he had stayed at the Blazing Flame Merchants for some time, but she had never heard Ling Xiao mention these two stunning women. She secretly said in her heart, "When we go back tonight, I'll teach him a lesson!"
"Oh right, why did you come to find me?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Can't I come to find you for no reason?" Lie Ruyu blurted out.
This made Ling Xiao quite embarrassed. He cried out in his heart, "Don't talk nonsense. If you overturn the vinegar jar, you will suffer!"
Zhou Zhijing was understanding and said, "Actually, we came here mainly to tell you one thing. Mad Monk has been captured by the Snake Loyalty Sect!"
"What? When did this happen?" Ling Xiao cried out in surprise.
All these years, they had been waiting for news of Yurou Fei's adoptive father, hoping that he would rush over to join them. However, they did not expect that he had already been captured.
"When we received the news, we immediately rushed over. It has been more than a month now!" Zhou Zhijing said.
"Damn it, if anything happens to father-in-law, I will definitely wash the Snake Loyalty Sect with blood!" Ling Xiao cursed in his heart and sent someone to find Yurou Fei.
Yurou Fei had just come out of seclusion and almost fainted when she heard the news.
Mad Beast was one of the two most important people in her life. If anything happened to him, she would live in pain for the rest of her life!
"Xiao, let's go and rescue adoptive father immediately. We can't let anything happen to him!" Yurou Fei said with a sobbing tone.
"Well, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to save him!" Ling Xiao said in a low voice.
Immediately afterward, Ling Xiao did not care about Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing. He immediately sent Chang Haoyou to gather the people.
Now, the people on his peak were already strong and strong, unlike the Yi Clan which had withered.
Among them, the strongest was of course Ling Gang. He had already been arranged by the clan to be Ling Xiao's Guardian Elder. In addition, there were several Divine Kings under the direct command of the Kim people, as well as the two brothers Kang Wen and Kang Wu who had already broken through to high-level Divine King. In addition, there were also dozens of Divine King Elders. As for those below the Divine King level, there was no need to mention them.
Some of them were arranged to protect Ling Xiao, while the others came to follow Ling Xiao voluntarily.
When Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing came to find Ling Xiao, they vaguely felt that Ling Xiao's status was already different from before.
However, when they saw that all the people on the peak were serving Ling Xiao, and faintly heard others refer to him as the Peak Lord, only then did they realize that Ling Xiao had already become a Peak Lord within the Dragon Gate. This was an existence with great power and authority. They were extremely shocked.
"Ling Gang, I want you to accompany me to exterminate the Righteous Snake School. Is that okay with you?" Ling Xiao asked Ling Gang directly.
"The Righteous Snake School is not a small sect. There are many Divine Kings within the school. Exterminating them won't be easy. With just our few people, I'm afraid it won't be enough. If we can borrow another group of people, it shouldn't be a problem," Ling Gang replied cautiously.
Although the Righteous Snake School was not a superpower, they still had a bit of a reputation.
Ling Xiao was going on a personal matter. How could he have the nerve to ask Ling Chen for people?
If they were to lose too many people this time, it would be hard for him to explain himself!
"Don't worry about it for now. Let's hurry over and use our Dragon Gate's name to force them to hand over the people. If anything happens to father-in-law, I will definitely take care of the Righteous Snake School first!" Ling Xiao said fiercely.
Ling Xiao hurried over to inform Ling Chen that he would be leaving the sect for a period of time. Then, he brought his own people and hurried over to the Righteous Snake School's territory.
