320. Temporary control
As soon as Mu Que finished speaking, he himself realized that it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Yan to hide his strength. Xiao Yan had stayed in the Tianluan Clan for many days, and so many powerful figures in the Tianluan Clan had already met him, even bringing up Ancestor Yaoyin, yet none of them had questioned Xiao Yan's strength. It was possible for one person to misjudge, but for so many people to misjudge together, it would be more likely that Xiao Yan was a high-level Dou Sheng who was hiding his strength.
At this point, Mu Que and Yang Yue could only accept one fact: Xiao Yan had indeed single-handedly killed two renowned Dou Zun experts from the Central Continent with his Dou Zong-level strength. Even someone as powerful as Mu Que glanced at Xiao Yan waiting beside Mu Yaoyin, and he now somewhat understood his ancestor's decision.
If a twenty-something-year-old eight-star Dou Zong and a seventh-grade alchemist with a different kind of fire are not enough to warrant the Tianluan Clan's full support, then the achievement of killing two Dou Zun in battle certainly does.
This at least means that Xiao Yan's remarkable achievements are not solely due to his talent and resources. Beneath his talent lies a far more extraordinary combat awareness that others cannot perceive from his outward appearance. These are not things that can be learned while staying under the protection of elders; true combat awareness can only be cultivated through constant bloody battles.
"Xiao Yan is truly terrifyingly monstrous." Mu Que sighed inwardly.
Of course, no matter how great the impact on Xiao Yan is, the matter of recognizing a master cannot be resolved now. It still requires further discussion between the two parties, and Xiao Yan is certainly not in the mood for that right now.
Xiao Yan waited anxiously to the side, but to his delight, as time passed, Little Fairy Doctor's breathing gradually stabilized. Furthermore, the somewhat frightening grayish-purple color on her body had faded considerably, all indicating that her Calamity Poison Body was back under control. An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Little Fairy Doctor slowly opened her eyes.
Xiao Yan was also quick to protect Little Fairy Doctor, careful that she wouldn't fall due to exhaustion after just waking up. However, Xiao Yan's subconscious movement was still a bit too forceful; to Little Fairy Doctor, it looked more like he wanted to rush over and hug her. Little Fairy Doctor instinctively put her hands in front of her chest, but a smile played on her lips: This guy isn't too stupid after all.
But the warm embrace that Little Fairy Doctor longed for didn't appear. Xiao Yan simply asked with concern, "Are you feeling better? Have you got it under control?"
Looking at Xiao Yan so close, a sense of helplessness flashed through Little Fairy Doctor's heart. However, she also knew that Xiao Yan's composure and lack of frivolity were the reasons she liked and fell in love with him. She then extended her snow-white, soft hand towards Xiao Yan: "Aren't you a seventh-grade alchemist? See for yourself."
Mu Yaoyin, who was standing to the side, coughed softly and said, "This little girl has a strong temper. If it had been any later, even a nine-star Dou Sheng would have been powerless to help."
With a single glance, Little Fairy Doctor knew that Mu Yaoyin was the one who had saved her. She stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you for saving me, Senior. I am deeply grateful."
Xiao Yan introduced the two, and during the introductions, Mu Yaoyin looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a hint of admiration. She noticed that Little Fairy Doctor only expressed gratitude for her rescue from beginning to end, without directly answering the question about releasing the Calamity Poison Body. This was actually Little Fairy Doctor's attitude: given the chance again, she would still release the Calamity Poison Body. As a woman herself, Mu Yaoyin was already aware of Little Fairy Doctor's feelings for Xiao Yan, and that Little Fairy Doctor was a very opinionated person who wouldn't change her mind because of her advice.
It's easy to imagine that even by Xiao Yan's side, Little Fairy Doctor's brilliance wouldn't be completely overshadowed; she was, after all, a genius of extraordinary talent! While admiring Little Fairy Doctor, Mu Yaoyin felt a slight sense of helplessness. She had long been prepared for the fact that Xiao Yan already had a suitable match. After all, with Xiao Yan's potential, talent, and personal charm, it wasn't surprising that he attracted many outstanding women. However, seeing a woman like Little Fairy Doctor, who was almost perfect in every way, Mu Yaoyin also began to worry about Mu Qingluan of the Tianluan Clan. Although magical beasts have much longer lifespans than humans, and Mu Qingluan could easily be Little Fairy Doctor's great-grandmother, when it came to handling emotions, Mu Qingluan was completely like a child compared to Little Fairy Doctor. Right now, Xiao Yan's attitude towards Mu Qingluan was probably just that of a junior sister.
However, given Mu Yaoyin's broad-mindedness, she was able to let it go quickly. After all, she only intended to guide Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan, and she could accept it if they didn't end up together. Mu Xinyuan, who knew Xiao Yan's talent and background best, still preferred that Mu Qingluan choose for herself, not that she had to choose Xiao Yan just because he was superior.
Mu Yaoyin then solemnly instructed Little Fairy Doctor, "The seal I set can only last for two months. Within two months, you must find a way to resolve the poison in your body. Although I don't know how you managed to control it before, the Calamity Poison Body is, after all, an innate constitution. Once you reach the Dou Zun level, it is no longer something that can be controlled by human power, let alone the fact that you forcibly released it."
Mu Yaoyin mentioned controlling the Calamity Poison Body before, and Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head, her face slightly flushed. Xiao Yan then remembered that the method for obtaining the Poison Pill was still missing the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, and there was no news of it. With only two months left, finding it would be quite difficult, since it wasn't something someone would necessarily trade to you just because you needed it.
Little Fairy Doctor remained calm and said lightly, "Being able to come back to life time and time again is already quite lucky. If it's beyond human power, then it's my own fate..."
Xiao Yan firmly stated, "No, I will definitely find the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva!"
Mu Yaoyin's heart stirred at this moment; Xiao Yan's performance reassured her even more. She then added, "More importantly, you absolutely cannot activate your internal fighting spirit for the next two months. If you force it, the situation will be beyond saving!"
Mu Yaoyin spoke with great conviction, and both Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor understood the importance of this entrustment.
At this moment, the Tianluan Clan members also arrived. Xiao Yan keenly noticed a change in their gazes towards him. The previous scrutinizing tone had faded considerably, replaced by a curiosity that seemed to want to see right through him.
Xiao Yan then asked Mu Yaoyin, "Senior, why did you come directly to provide support? Did the Soul Hall people retreat?"
You should know that there is a Soul Hall Battle Saint and two Heavenly Venerables on the battlefield outside!
