934. Utilizing the body
Upon hearing this, Qing Xianzi immediately tensed up, feigning anger as she glared at Yao Lao and snorted coldly, "Hey, Yao Chen! How can you be so shameless? I haven't agreed to anything yet, don't let people misunderstand."
That being said, the joy in Qingxianzi's eyes was undeniable; clearly, the title that Yaolao had Xiaoyan give her reflected her true feelings!
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and bowed to Qing Xianzi, saying, "Xiao Yan greets Master's Wife!"
"At least they have some sense, unlike some people who are heartless and ungrateful."
Watching her elder sister's hypocritical demeanor and Yao Chen's seemingly pleased expression, Hua Xianzi couldn't help but rub her temples, her face a mixture of helplessness and amusement. She cleared her throat, breaking the awkward silence, her voice laced with a hint of teasing exasperation: "Sister, let's put everything else aside and clean this up first. We can talk about the embarrassing stuff when we get back, okay?"
Qingxianzi was suddenly startled to realize that many disciples of the Flower Sect were watching this place with respect.
Although they hadn't heard the specific content of the conversation, everyone had heard of the story of Qingxianzi and Yaozunzhe to some extent. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel a little excited. Just from their eyes, it was clear that they were all imagining what was going on.
A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Qing Xianzi's face, but it was quickly replaced by the dignified air befitting a Supreme Elder. She cleared her throat and resumed her usual aloof demeanor.
All four knew this wasn't a good place to talk, so they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the Flower Sect.
At the same time, Fairy Qing also gave Xiao Yan a storage ring, which contained many rare flowers and herbs from the Flower Sect. In Fairy Qing's words, since the little guy is so sensible, we can't let him be called that for nothing.
From this, Xiao Yan realized that his teacher truly lived up to his reputation.
Not only did he manage to have a Pill Tower giant like Xuan Yi wait for him for many years and raise his daughter alone, but now, having only been at the Flower Sect for a few days, he has already perfectly soothed Qing Xianzi's emotions, demonstrating the dashing and romantic demeanor he once possessed.
Subsequently, a rapid power shift occurred within the Flower Sect. Both Fairy Hua and Fairy Qing made their public appearances to stabilize the sect's situation, and their actions quickly secured the previously controversial position of sect leader.
Hua Luoling, the eldest disciple trained by Fairy Hua, took over as sect leader. To be honest, this was somewhat domineering and detrimental to the sect's atmosphere. However, Hua Jin, who was previously chosen according to procedure, was a traitor who betrayed the sect and attracted the attention of the Soul Palace.
In this atmosphere, there were almost no dissenting voices regarding the two elders' "autocratic" actions.
Hua Luoling, who was suddenly given the order, didn't show any surprise at all. On the contrary, she seemed to be ready. Xiao Yan couldn't tell for a moment whether this was due to her personality or if she had expected it.
The traitor Hua Jin ultimately decided, amidst the discussions, to take her life. Hua Jin's act of inviting a wolf into the house brought great danger to the Hua Sect. If Xiao Yan and Yao Lao hadn't appeared at the Hua Sect, even if the truth had been revealed, today would have been a fierce battle. Therefore, even though the Hua Sect treated its disciples quite well, it could no longer tolerate Hua Jin.
The sect leader's matter was resolved swiftly, and the alliance's affairs were also progressing rapidly, thanks in no small part to Qing Xianzi's assistance.
Hua Xianzi did set some conditions regarding the subsequent alliance, given the large number of forces involved and the even stronger opponents. Qing Xianzi, on the other hand, seemed prepared to join Yao Lao in forming an alliance with Burning Flame Valley. Her reasoning was quite straightforward: if the Flower Sect expressed its stance, the alliance process with Burning Flame Valley would proceed much faster.
This blatant act of siding with outsiders left Fairy Hua feeling extremely helpless towards her elder sister. She directly brought up the shameful incident of Fairy Qing and Elder Yao sneaking out of the sect during the sect's grand competition when they were young, which finally made Fairy Qing stop commenting on the matter.
Of course, deep down, Fairy Hua trusted Yao Lao more than anyone else; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so dutiful in raising his daughter for so many years. In the end, the alliance was finalized.
After finalizing the general details, Xiao Yan stopped delving into those matters, as they were not his forte. He knew that Little Fairy Doctor would handle these tedious tasks.
But he had something more important and worth looking forward to doing: dealing with the bodies and souls of the Soul Palace's Dou Sheng powerhouses.
The reason why Xiao Yan insisted on keeping this body intact as much as possible was for the purpose of trying out the inheritance that Ling Feng had given him, which was the one he coveted the most.
Refine battle puppets at the level of a Battle Saint!
As the name suggests, a battle puppet is a puppet that can be used in battle. As for the idea of refining a battle puppet at the level of a Dou Sheng, even Ling Fengzhui himself has never put it into practice.
The reason is that materials for battle puppets at the Dou Sheng level are extremely difficult to find. They require a complete Dou Sheng-level body and soul, and the body cannot be naturally aged and close to death. Otherwise, the body will lose its vitality and life force, which will greatly reduce the battle puppet's combat ability.
Even for families descended from Dou Di, a complete body and soul of a Dou Sheng expert are extremely rare. They might have one, and other families descended from Dou Di might have one too, but no one would use their own young members to create battle puppets. As for other families descended from Dou Di, aside from the difficulty of killing a Dou Sheng, without a significant difference in strength, it would be very difficult to preserve the body and soul intact.
Even if they could actually obtain it, such an act would definitely be seen as provocative, easily igniting a war between the two families, which would come at a great cost.
Therefore, Xiao Yan truly encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this time. Not only did he successfully obtain two Dou Sheng bodies, but he also acquired matching Heavenly Realm souls. In any case, there is now no possibility of reconciliation between Xiao Yan and the Soul Palace and Soul Clan; the so-called overall situation has long been ruined.
Before starting to make it, Xiao Yan returned to the Heavenly Tomb.
Ancestor Xiao Xuan had been guarding this place for Xiao Yan. After Xiao Yan honestly told Xiao Xuan about his plans, Xiao Xuan was slightly surprised. After carefully reviewing Xiao Yan's method of refining a Dou Sheng-level battle puppet, Xiao Xuan also offered three targeted suggestions for modification, each tailored to Xiao Yan's specific circumstances.
