Chapter 64

"Indeed, as long as Young Master Xiao Yun is favored by some of the influential figures in the Tianyuan Sect, why should he fear the Qiu Family?" an elder from a neighboring clan spoke up, "Although the Qiu Family is powerful, it's only because they have some members in the Tianyuan Sect."

"Can a mere elder really cover up the sky with one hand?" many people chimed in.

Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yun also nodded slightly, but he knew that he must have sufficient strength.

Otherwise, how could he make the people of the Tianyuan Sect take notice of him so easily?

Moreover, the Qiu Family would not let him off easily. Everything must be handled with caution.

Not only was Xiao Yun worried, but some of the clan members were also concerned.

"Grandfather, please rest assured, I will do my best," seeing the clan members still worried, Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed as he spoke to the elder beside him, "I will definitely become a core disciple of the Tianyuan Sect." For the sake of this family, he must become a core disciple of the Tianyuan Sect.

"Grandfather believes in you, but you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Just let things take their natural course," the old patriarch said.

"Indeed," Xiao Hai said, "We've already weathered such a big storm, what is there to fear?"

"Right, what's so great about the Qiu Family? They just have a few Core Formation Realm cultivators," some clan members chimed in.

The old patriarch's advancement to the Core Formation Realm greatly boosted their confidence.

"Those words are true," the City Lord Yan said, "Now that the old patriarch has reached the Core Formation Realm, if we add another powerful cultivator, even if the Qiu Family attacks, they might not gain any advantage. As for the Tianyuan Sect, they won't rashly send people here."

"After all, this territory has its own constraints."

After a brief discussion, everyone's hearts finally relaxed.

"Hehe, when does Young Master Xiao Yun plan to refine the pills?" someone asked with a smile.

Everyone then looked at him with inquiring eyes.

These people were most concerned about the pills.

Hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. The pills might change the situation.

"Tomorrow, I will prepare some medicinal herbs. When the time comes, you can come to the Xiao Family to collect them," Xiao Yun said, "As long as the herbs are gathered, I can refine the pills at any time. If the herbs you gather meet my requirements, I might give you Pure Essence Pills as compensation."

He decided to see if they could gather enough herbs for the Spirit Condensation Pill.

As long as someone else reaches the Core Formation Realm, it would at least ensure that the Xiao Family would not be bullied by the Qiu Family.

As for the Tianyuan Sect, he didn't dare to openly destroy a clan.

In this territory, there are clear regulations that sect powers must not interfere in clan disputes.

The stronger the cultivator, the more they must not act rashly, or else the incident might escalate, causing the envoys of the Heavenly Domain to intervene, which would endanger the entire sect.

"Good, no matter what herbs are needed, we will gather them," the eyes of the elders from various clans lit up at the mention of Pure Essence Pills.

Subsequently, everyone left one by one.

This meeting was finally over.

"Father, what should we do next?" Xiao Hai asked.

"Send people to eliminate the Fang Family," the old patriarch's eyes narrowed, and he issued an order, deciding to cleanse the Fang Family's influence.

Since they have already become mortal enemies, they cannot let this clan rise again.

"I can also send people to assist," the City Lord Yan's eyes narrowed, deciding to seal the city and help the Xiao Family.

Since they have formed an alliance, they cannot hold back.

Xiao Hai and others immediately returned to organize their forces and launched a massive attack on the Fang Family.

This day was destined to be a memorable night.

On this day, Xiao Yun fought and defeated Fang Hao, leaving a lasting impression on the world, and his reputation soared.

On this day, Xiao Yun fought and turned the tide against the Core Formation Realm cultivator Qiu Yuchen, shocking the world.

On this day, the Fang Family was completely eradicated, causing the world to tremble, and the name of the Xiao Family was etched in people's minds.

"This Xiao Family must not be provoked!" countless people sighed, feeling a sense of awe. This was an untouchable clan, inspiring respect.

It's not hard to imagine how powerful the young man named Xiao Yun would become if he grew up.

Not only did ordinary cultivators have a sleepless night, but even the cultivators of other clans could not sleep.

If this young man could really refine the Spirit Condensation Pill, what would that mean?

It would mean that this young man has the potential to become a master alchemist!

A master alchemist is someone that even the major sects would court!

With the old patriarch personally taking action, the Fang Family was easily eradicated.

At the same time, with the help of the old patriarch Lin and the City Lord Yan, almost no one from the Fang Family escaped.

While these events were unfolding, Xiao Yun was meditating in his training room.

This time, he had expended too much soul power and needed to recover quickly, otherwise, he wouldn't have enough energy to refine the pills.

The Soul Devouring Technique was activated, and Xiao Yun's mental power gradually recovered.

Not only that, the life aura emitted by his martial soul also helped his soul recover rapidly.

After a night of intense cultivation, Xiao Yun's soul power gradually recovered, and he even felt that his soul power was slightly stronger than before, as if it had been tempered by the battle.

"Finally, my soul power has recovered," Xiao Yun sighed in relief. Now that his soul power was restored, he could once again activate the Soul Devouring Spear, giving him a trump card to protect himself in critical moments.

After recovering his soul power, he also released his mind to sense the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

On the first layer of the tower wall, there was a rune.

This rune was like a deep tunnel, leading to the netherworld, with a short spear emitting a terrifying aura.

This aura seemed to truly be capable of destroying gods and slaying buddhas.

"Unfortunately, the soul power required for the Soul Devouring Spear is too strong. Otherwise, I could use it to fight Core Formation Realm cultivators," Xiao Yun felt a bit regretful, but when he looked at the second layer of the tower wall, he felt a strange excitement.

If the first layer has a spiritual weapon like the Soul Devouring Spear, what powerful weapon could be on the second layer?

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Yun retracted his thoughts.

His current strength is too weak, and his top priority is to improve it.

"Hey, Little Yunzi," the voice of the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow suddenly came.

"What's up?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Hehe, do you have any pill formulas to enhance the strength of a spirit beast?" the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow asked with a smile.

"The herbs required for these pills are very hard to gather!" Xiao Yun said.

A spirit beast is essentially a soul, so enhancing its strength is equivalent to enhancing soul power. Therefore, Xiao Yun also needed such pills.

However, the herbs required for these pills are extremely rare, even rarer than those for the Spirit Condensation Pill, making it difficult to gather the herbs needed for a single pill formula.

"Remember to collect them," the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow said, its eyelids flickering, "Once I recover some of my strength, I can help you in battle, and this crisis won't happen again. Together, we can dominate this world."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help your spirit beast enhance its strength," Xiao Yun said.

After this incident, he realized his shortcomings.

If the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's spirit beast could enhance its strength, it might truly become his ally.

"But you have lost your physical body. How much can your spirit beast enhance?" Xiao Yun suddenly asked.

"Don't worry, I am the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, born extraordinary, capable of devouring the essence of all things. Even in my soul form, I can continue to grow. When I reach a certain level, I can unleash the various divine powers of my Swallowing Heaven lineage and sweep across the world," the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow said proudly, its arrogance undiminished despite the loss of its body.

"That's good," Xiao Yun nodded slightly. In that case, he could help the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow.

Otherwise, if the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow couldn't continue to enhance its strength, it would be of little use.

Subsequently, Xiao Yun retracted his mind and left the training room.

The sun had just risen, and the Xiao Family was already bustling with activity, which surprised Xiao Yun as he walked out of the training room.

He released his soul power and discovered that the elders from various clans had already come to visit.

Their purpose was one: to gather the herbs as soon as possible so that Xiao Yun could help them refine the pills.

"These guys are truly early risers," Xiao Yun shook his head, washed up, and headed to the living room.

In the living room, cultivators from various clans had already gathered.

The old patriarch sat at the head of the table, greeting everyone.

"Hehe, Young Master Xiao Yun has arrived," when Xiao Yun appeared, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all stood up to welcome him.

"Good morning, everyone!" Xiao Yun greeted everyone with a bow.

"Yun'er, come sit by grandfather," the old patriarch smiled and beckoned Xiao Yun to sit beside him.

Xiao Yun didn't hesitate and walked over to sit in the seat next to the old patriarch.

"Everyone is here to get the list of herbs, right?" after sitting down, Xiao Yun got straight to the point.

"Exactly," everyone smiled, "Hehe, we are eager to see Young Master Xiao Yun's skills."

"Here is the list. Try to gather as many of the herbs listed as possible, especially those marked in red," Xiao Yun took out the prepared list and had it passed to the elders of the various clans.

"Good, we will do our best to gather them," after glancing at the list, everyone put it away and said seriously.

The list only contained the names of the herbs, without specifying which pills they were for, so everyone was confused.

This was because Xiao Yun didn't want to reveal the pill formulas.

Pill formulas are very valuable, and many alchemists only know a few.

Sometimes, a single pill formula can cause alchemists to fight to the death.

"Hehe, Little Yunzi, you're not young anymore. Shouldn't you get married?" after putting away the list, the old patriarch Lin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I think you and my daughter, Xiaoman, would be a good match. You've known each other since childhood. How about I betroth her to you?"

"Lin Xiaoman?" Xiao Yun felt a headache.

Although the girl had a fiery figure that made people drool, she didn't suit his taste.

She was too materialistic, making it hard for him to like her.

"Hehe, Xiaoman's temper is not good, and she has offended you in the past, but she regrets it now. If you get married, she will be a good wife," the old patriarch Lin said with a smile, "My daughter Xiaoman is one of the top beauties!"

"This old man is shameless," the cultivators from other clans rolled their eyes.

"Hehe, Old Lin, that's not right. My daughter, Shifei, has already privately pledged herself to Xiao Yun," at this moment, a loud laugh came from outside the hall, and the City Lord Yan walked in, his face beaming with joy.

Beside the City Lord Yan were the Yan sisters, Shifei and Xiaoxiao.

In addition, there was a small old man walking alongside them.
