Chapter 323 - Chapter 323 – Zi Yan’s Playful Acts

Let us speak! An old voice rang out, and two elderly figures materialized in the study.

One of them said, We have something to ask of you this time.

Xiao Tian recognized them immediately: the guardians of the Hidden Book Pavilion, the Two Elders Qian and Bai.

Please, sit down, Elders, Su Qian said, gesturing to the two men before introducing them to Xiao Tian. These are our guardians, Elders Qian Lie and Bai Mu.

Elders Qian and Bai sensed your Dou Zun aura earlier, so they asked me to act as a go-between and request your guidance on breaking through to Dou Zun.

Xiao Tian could naturally sense their realms. Both were at Peak Dou Zong, and they had been stuck at that level for a very long time.

Xiao Tian, Your Excellency, both elders said, bowing slightly. They felt nothing was wrong with this. In the cultivation world, the more capable were teachers, even if the other party was a junior.

You are too polite, Elders. I am also part of the Academy, and it is no problem for me to help if I can. Xiao Tian stopped their bowing and looked at them. Now, it is still…

Thank you, Your Excellency. There is no time like the present. Choosing another time would only delay you, the Two Elders Qian and Bai said quickly. Then they turned to Su Qian. Su Qian, we will borrow your secret room.

Feel free, Elders, Su Qian said with a chuckle.

Does the Grand Elder want to listen in? Xiao Tian asked Su Qian.

Su Qian waved his hand. I will not bother. Dou Zun is still a long way off for me.

Alright, I will let Zi Yan out for a bit then. Xiao Tian sensed Zi Yan's condition, saw she was eating pills, and with a wave of his hand, Zi Yan appeared in the study.

Where am I? Zi Yan looked at the changed surroundings, completely bewildered. After spotting Xiao Tian, she flashed over and sat on his lap.

Su Qian's eye twitched slightly at the sight, as if his own little cabbage had been snatched away.

Old Su! Zi Yan shouted loudly when she saw Old Su sitting opposite her.

Zi Yan, I have something to do soon. You can reunite with the Grand Elder, Xiao Tian said, stroking Zi Yan's little head.

Mhm, mhm, you go ahead, Zi Yan nodded obediently and sensibly, then jumped off Xiao Tian's lap and went to Old Su.

Xiao Tian, Your Excellency, please follow us, Elder Bai said. After speaking, he and Elder Qian led the way, with Xiao Tian following closely behind.

After Xiao Tian left, Zi Yan took out a jade bottle and shook it in front of Old Su, a mischievous expression on her face. Old Su, do you want some? This is a good thing I managed to get with great difficulty.

Old Su looked at Zi Yan, who was acting up in front of him. His eye twitched slightly, his face full of helplessness. You eat so many pills? I do not want any.

No, these are pills refined by Xiao Tian. One pill can increase a Dou Zong's cultivation by one star, and you can take two in a lifetime. It is a pity someone actually does not want them.

Old Su raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Are you serious?

Zi Yan proudly shook the jade bottle and placed it in Old Su's hand. Of course. Xiao Tian told me to give it to you.

Old Su was stunned. This…

Oh, do not be so hesitant! Just take them and eat them. There are two inside. After you eat them, you will be able to break through two stars.

Old Su opened the jade bottle and glanced at the pills inside. Just inhaling their scent made his body feel more active. After a moment of thought, he looked up and asked, These pills are very valuable. Does Xiao Tian know you took them?

Zi Yan pouted, a look of disdain on her face. He gave them to me! Just eat them. He has plenty of these.

In truth, Xiao Tian had originally intended to give the pills to Old Su. Zi Yan had just happened to ask him about them, so Xiao Tian used the opportunity to make her beg for a long time before reluctantly pretending to give them to her.

If Zi Yan knew Xiao Tian's true thoughts, she would probably explode.

Old Su understood Zi Yan very well. She never lied about serious matters. Then I will accept them. Please thank Xiao Tian for me.

Old Su was also very excited about the two pills. This was two stars of cultivation. With his current situation, two stars would take him a very, very long time to cultivate on his own.

The grandfather and granddaughter chatted in the study, and Old Su could feel Zi Yan's heartfelt happiness during this time. He was also very happy for her. Little Zi Yan had never had many friends since she was little and was often very lonely.

About half an hour later, the Two Elders Qian and Bai followed behind Xiao Tian, their faces beaming with joy, as if this session of guidance had yielded immense benefits.

Old Su looked at their expressions and asked with a smile, Judging by your looks, Elders, do you have confidence this time?

Elder Qian smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. It is all thanks to Xiao Tian, Your Excellency's generous guidance, which has allowed us two to see the hope of Dou Zun.

After speaking, he did not forget to bow to Xiao Tian, and Elder Bai did the same. Xiao Tian did not evade and accepted it graciously.

After chatting for a while, the Two Elders Qian and Bai left in a hurry to go into seclusion and break through.

After they left, Old Su came to Xiao Tian's side. Thank you very much, Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian glanced at the pill bottle on the desk and understood what he meant.

You are too polite, Grand Elder. This is Zi Yan's credit, and I am already part of the Academy. It is only right for me to give back to the Academy now. Also, we are allies. If you are strong, it benefits everyone.

Xiao Tian waved his hand, while Zi Yan on the side showed a proud look. Old Su, do not worry, I will take care of you in your old age. You will not be short of good things.

Xiao Tian and Old Su both laughed heartily, and a hint of relief flickered deep in Old Su's eyes. He had not raised her all these years for nothing.

After Xiao Tian sent Zi Yan into the Boundless Heaven Realm, he bid farewell to Old Su.

As he passed the entrance to the underground world, he took a deep look, realizing it was not suitable to go down now.

Not to mention there were still two Half-Saints below, and an unknown number of Dou Zun-level Lizardmen.

There was also an extremely powerful Zhu Kun. Even Seven-Star Dou Sheng Xiao Yan had almost been instantly killed and forced to self-destruct.

Even if he went with Zi Yan, if he could not control himself, would that not be a pointless death? And the current Zhu Kun could not give him anything at all.

So, Xiao Tian planned to go in after reaching Half-Saint or Dou Sheng.

He also visited Boundless Gate. The current acting leader of Boundless Gate was Ah Tai, who managed the entire Boundless Gate very well. Xiao Tian also left him many pills.

Arriving at Jia Nan Academy's outer court, Hu Jia was sitting on a rock at the spot where Xiao Tian had previously left her.

Tiger Girl, have you finished reuniting with your grandfather?

Xiao Tian's voice suddenly startled Hu Jia, who had been lost in thought. Why are you always so elusive?

It is not that I am elusive, but that you were lost in thought. It is not safe to be like that outside. Xiao Tian came in front of Hu Jia. What are you thinking about?

Nothing. I just finished reuniting with my grandfather and then sent him to go into seclusion, so I am waiting for you here.

Hu Jia thought about how she had given him the Break-Sect Pill earlier, making him so excited he almost jumped up. She had never seen her grandfather so uncomposed.

Thinking of this, she looked deeply at Xiao Tian, her eyes full of gratitude. This Break-Sect Pill was given to her by the man in front of her on the way here.

This Break-Sect Pill could not only help her grandfather break through to Dou Zong but also significantly extend his lifespan.

Then let us go. It is time to head back, Xiao Tian said, waving his hand indifferently.

Hu Jia suddenly leaped onto Xiao Tian, and the two looked at each other.

Seeing Xiao Tian's puzzled expression, Hu Jia said with evasive eyes, I am just making it easier for you to travel.

Xiao Tian smiled and said nothing, then stepped into the air and headed into the distance.
