With the medicinal ingredients provided by the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance, Xiao Yun quickly refined a pile of Innate Pills, Congealing Qi Pills, Blood Congealing Powders and other medicinal pills and powders for his family. At the same time, he also gave some to the other families in order to establish connections.

After receiving the medicinal pills, the other families all felt the strength of the Xiao family, and wouldn’t dare to act against them as the Fang family had.

Today after Xiao Yun had also refined a few Pure Essence Pills, he prepared to give them to his family. At this moment, 2 girls walked in; Xiao Yun frowned when he saw the beautiful woman next to the 2 girls.

“An Essence Core realm cultivator?” Xiao Yun could feel an incredibly powerful aura from this person.

The woman looked younger than 30-years-old, and had a slim waist and beautiful appearance. There was not a single wrinkle on her face, and her well-rounded figure gave off a mature charm, which made anyone want to take a few extra glances at her. Next to this woman were Yan s.h.i.+ Fei and Yan s.h.i.+ Yan.

“Big brother Xiao Yun.” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan skipped over when she saw Xia Yun and looked quite displeased.

“What happened?” Xiao Yun felt quite confused when he saw Yan s.h.i.+ Yan’s expression.

Behind her, Yan s.h.i.+ Fei also looked a bit worried.

“Are you Xiao Yun?” Before Yan s.h.i.+ Fei could speak, the woman walked over had looked at Xiao Yun.

“That’s right,” Xiao Yun replied.

“Not bad, you’re quite talented to be able to step into the middle stage of the Innate realm at such a young age,” the woman said as she nodded her head in satisfaction.

“You’re too kind,” Xiao Yun smiled as he replied.

“I’m s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Yan’s aunty,” the woman said. “I’m going to take them to join the Sea Mist Sect.”

“Sea Mist Sect?” Xiao Yun’s gaze became serious as he realised why they were here.

He had heard of this sect before. It was a large sect like the Heaven Origin Sect, but it was quite far from the Moonwind Kingdom, so they rarely chose disciples from here. Because the Yan family had people who were already within the sect, they could make recommendations for others. 2 years ago, Yan s.h.i.+ Fei had the opportunity to enter the Sea Mist Sect, but was not able to because of the poison in her body.

“Are you going to go now?” Xiao Yun frowned as he looked at the 2 girls. Now he understood why the sisters looked so sad.

“Mm.” Yan s.h.i.+ Fei nodded and looked incredibly reluctant to leave.

“Aunty, can you also bring big brother Xiao Yun to join the Sea Mist Sect?” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan’s watery eyes blinked as she pulled on the beautiful woman’s sleeves. Based on how the girl was acting, she evidently didn’t want to leave Xiao Yun.

“If this boy enters the Sea Mist Sect, will these two girls even be able to cultivate properly?” The beautiful woman frowned. She had heard about Xiao Yun and Yan s.h.i.+ Fei’s story, and immediately refused. “Your big brother Xiao Yun has his own path to walk; there’s no need for him to join the Sea Mist Sect.”

“Why?” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan pouted, looking quite displeased.

The beautiful woman said, “He offended an elder from the Heaven Origin Sect. if our Sea Mist Sect accepts him, wouldn’t that cause conflict between the two sects? Aunty can’t make important decisions like this, and if we bring him, it might instead harm him.”

“Hmph, it’s that despicable Qiu family again,” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan frowned as she gave a small harrumph, as if she now hated the Qiu family.

“s.h.i.+ Yan, Aunty has her own troubles, so don’t make things hard for her.” Yan s.h.i.+ Fei was more understanding, and knew that her aunt’s position in the Heaven Origin Sect was only ordinary. She did not have much influence – otherwise, Yan s.h.i.+ Fei would have been able to enter the sect even despite being poisoned. Moreover, she wasn’t able to even obtain an Antidote Pill!

Now, her Aunty had stepped into the Essence Core realm and had a bit of status within the sect; this allowed her to bring the sisters into the sect.

“I heard that the Yuan family’s people already prepared you to follow their ancestor. This is a tremendous opportunity, and only by joining the Heaven Origin Sect will you be able to settle matters with the Qiu family. In future, when you’ve made accomplishments in your cultivation, you’ll be able to meet s.h.i.+ Fei again,” Aunty Yan said. “If you have anything to say, say it now. I’ll be taking them away soon.”

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman, feeling quite displeased. With her here, how was he supposed to say anything?

“Big brother Xiao Yun, you’re not allowed to flirt with other pretty big sisters while I’m not here.” It was Yan s.h.i.+ Yan who walked over to Xiao Yun and looked up to stare at him seriously.

“This girl.” Aunty Yan frowned – wasn’t this something that her big sister was supposed to say?

Yan s.h.i.+ Fei gave an elegant smile, but did not say anything.

Xiao Yun felt quite awkward because the girl spoke so boldly. At this moment, Yan s.h.i.+ Yan suddenly stood on her toes and sneakily kissed Xiao Yun’s cheek.

Xiao Yun felt quite startled at the softness and wetness on his cheek; he stared at the girl in confusion.

“Hehe, if you dare to womanise around, I won’t let you off.” After successfully launching a sneak attack, Yan s.h.i.+ Yan gave a pleased smile and waved her fist as she spoke threateningly towards the youth.

“Do I seem like someone who would womanise around?” Xiao Yun rolled his eyes, hiding the strange beating of his heart. For some reason, the girl’s smile seemed quite charming.

“What’s going on? Does that girl Yan s.h.i.+ Yan also like this boy?” Beside them, Aunty Yan was completely dumbfounded.

“Alright.” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan elegantly walked forwards elegantly, affectionately gazing at Xiao Yun as she said in a low voice, “I’ll wait for you; don’t forget about me.” There was a coquettish tone in the young woman’s words and her voice sounded so beautiful that it could make anyone feel weak. Every frown and smile from this beauty was able to turn one’s soul upside down.

“Haha, how could I forget big sister s.h.i.+ Fei?” Xiao Yun laughed, then said in a soft voice in the young woman’s ear, “I haven’t even ‘taken’ you yet.” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan’s cheeks puffed out in anger when she saw how intimate they seemed.

How come she wasn’t treated like this?

“Such a smooth-talker.” Yan s.h.i.+ Fei rolled her eyes at Xiao Yun and said in a soft voice, “But you need to take care.”

Xiao Yun looked at the young woman opposite him as he said earnestly, “I will! For you, I’ll live well.”

“Alright, we should go now.” Aunty Yan felt goose b.u.mps rising along her body when she heard the affectionate words between them. “You two both need to work hard at your cultivation, or your big brother Xiao Yun might be stolen by someone else.”

“I won’t let anyone else steal him,” Yan s.h.i.+ Yan pouted.

Aunty Yan stared in surprise as she muttered to herself, “Looks like this girl’s interest in love matters has been awoken.”

After saying their farewells, Aunty Yan took the girls and left. Xiao Yun waved as the girls left, a slight smile appearing on his face. Now, the true time for hard work began!

Xiao Yun shook his head and reorganised his thoughts, then went to give the medicinal pills to the elders in the family. With these medicinal pills, the Xiao family would have another 3 True Essence realm cultivators, while Xiao Hai and Xiao Hong’s cultivations also continuously increased.

In the next few days, the various families sent over medicinal ingredients, and Xiao Yun received one of the medicinal ingredients that he had wanted for a long time – a medicinal ingredient for refining a Soul Heaven Pill. However, it was a pity because one was not enough to refine a medicinal pill.

However, there were quite a few portions of medicinal ingredients for Mysterious Congealing Pills, most of which came from the Cloudsea Merchant Alliance.

When he refined the Mysterious Congealing Pill, Xiao Yun once again added a dewdrop from his Martial Spirit’s leaf.

This time, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow did not say anything; after the Xiao family’s old patriarch consumed the previous Mysterious Congealing Pill, he had broken through as well as gaining comprehension. This caused the crimson bird to feel incredibly shocked, and feel even more respect towards Xiao Yun’s talent in pill refining. He didn’t need to worry about this sort of pill refining genius anymore.

With the help from the dewdrops from his Martial Spirit, the Mysterious Congealing Pills - which should have been impossible for Xiao Yun to refine - were successfully completed. The success rate made the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow completely flabbergasted, and it repeatedly cried out that the youth would definitely become a Pill Master.

After creating the pills, Xiao Yun thought for a while before delivering one to Duke Yan and another to the Lin family’s old patriarch.

This was because the Xiao family needed some powerful allies, in case they needed to deal with anything. Otherwise, with just the Xiao family’s old patriarch at the Essence Core realm, Xiao Yun was unable to truly be at ease.

“Is this a Mysterious Congealing Pill?” As he held the medicinal pill that Xiao Yun had given him, the Lin family’s old patriarch felt incredibly excited. He could feel an intense aura of life from this medicinal pill, as well as a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, which could give him comprehension. Even within Mysterious Congealing Pills, this pill was no ordinary pill.

“With this medicinal pill, it won’t be difficult to step into the Essence Core realm!” Even Duke Yan felt incredibly excited.

“Are you really giving these medicinal pills to us?” The Lin family’s old patriarch felt as if he was dreaming – this sort of medicinal pill was something that could only be sought but not gained!

Xiao Yun nodded and said, “Mm. However, please don’t announce it. If other people found out about this sort of medicinal pill, it could cause some trouble.”

“We know.” The Lin family’s old patriarch repeatedly nodded. He too understood that sometimes possessing a treasure was itself a crime.

Xiao Yun said, “This Mysterious Congealing Pill’s just the beginning. If I improve, I’ll naturally continue to help everyone.”

The Lin family’s old patriarch spoke with a serious expression, “Don’t worry, young master Xiao Yun, as long as this old man’s alive, I the Lin family will follow the Xiao family unreservedly.”

“Haha, with my family’s s.h.i.+ Fei following you, I won’t have to worry in future!” Duke Yan laughed.

Now that he had a strong relations.h.i.+p with this youth, he could see boundless hope. After all, he had stopped at the True Essence realm for a long time!

Not only did he have an opportunity to step into the Essence Core realm, he might even be able to go even further in future. After discussing for a while, the 2 of them went into closed-door training.

After finis.h.i.+ng with this matter, Xiao Yun left some medicinal pills, as well as some pill refining techniques with the Xiao family’s old patriarch.

With these techniques, as long as the Xiao family did their best to train someone, it wouldn’t be difficult to develop another Pill Refiner within the family.

 “Don’t worry, little brother Xiao, this old man will take care of all medicinal pill needs for your Xiao family in future.” Master Yuan also knew that Xiao Yun was going to leave, so he came to say farewell. Because of that Art, his control over the flames had improved, and he could now easily refine Grade 2 pills.

In future, he could improve even more. To a Pill Refiner, this was the greatest kindness one could show to them.

“I’ll have to trouble Master Yuan then,” Xiao Yun said as he cupped his fists.

“Haha, you’re too courteous,” Master Yuan replied with a big smile.

“Grandpa, I’m going now. I’ll definitely find father.” After making sure everything was taken care of, Xiao Yun said his farewells to his family.

“Take care of yourself outside.” The Xiao family’s old patriarch deeply breathed in, feeling quite reluctant to see him go.

“Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, I’ll have to rely on you to take care of grandpa,” Xiao Yun said to his uncles.

After departing, Xiao Yun didn’t know when he would be able to see his family again, which made him feel sorrowful. Next time they met, perhaps his grandpa’s hair would be completely white.

“Go out and explore the world to your heart’s content; leave everything in the family to us,” Xiao Hai said. “If you get tired, you can come back at any time.”

“Child, don’t feel too much pressure. Just do your best,” the Xiao family’s old patriarch said. Although he wanted to know whether his son was still living or dead, he didn’t want his grandson to encounter any danger. All he hoped was that he could grow up safely.

“I’ll be careful,” Xiao Yun said as he waved his hand. “Grandpa, uncles, I’m going now.”

As everyone watched on, the youth travelled further and further away as he set out on his long journey.
