Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

After exchanging a few words with Xiao Yan, the two returned to the Xiao family together. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were already busy. Xiao Yan asked and learned that the storage ring Xiao Fan had given Xiao Ding contained the cultivation techniques of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, including more than 180 sets of Yellow-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills, 63 sets of low-level Profound-rank techniques, 32 sets of mid-level Profound-rank techniques, and 14 sets of high-level Profound-rank techniques.

With so many cultivation techniques and fighting skills, the Xiao family's power could be elevated to an extremely terrifying level.

However, after discussing it, Xiao Ding and Xiao Fan realized that the Xiao family couldn't possibly digest all these cultivation techniques and fighting skills. So, after a brief conversation, they decided to incorporate some of them into the Flame Alliance. Any disciple who made outstanding contributions to the Flame Alliance could learn these techniques.

Xiao Fan and his companion agreed to this approach. After all, they understood the principle of not trying to do too much at once. Moreover, there were so many high-level cultivation techniques that the Xiao family disciples could not possibly learn them all. Rather than letting other families be envious, it would be better to take the initiative to offer some of them. This would solidify the Xiao family's position within the Flame Alliance and make other families more supportive of the Xiao family.

Finally, they decided to take fifty sets of cultivation techniques and combat skills from the Yellow Rank, twenty-five sets from the low-level Profound Rank, twelve sets from the mid-level Profound Rank, and four sets from the high-level Profound Rank, and add them to the Flame Alliance. Other family disciples, as long as they make certain contributions, can exchange them for the qualification to learn these cultivation techniques and combat skills from within the Flame Alliance.

Therefore, Xiao Yan also gathered together the family members who had joined the Yan Alliance, including Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and Mu Zhan, and informed everyone about them. He also took this opportunity to introduce Xiao Fan to everyone.

Everyone had witnessed Xiao Fan's strength firsthand. Even with the combined efforts of Xing Tian, ​​Hai Bodong, and Xiao Yan, they couldn't harm him. Naturally, they treated him with great respect and couldn't help but marvel at how the Xiao family, in terms of both strength and connections, was now undoubtedly the number one in the Jia Ma Empire.

Seemingly aware of Jia Xingtian's apprehension, after the meeting ended, Xiao Fan went to the palace and used the Fallen Heart Flame to condense the fighting spirit within Jia Xingtian's body. As for the Xiao family's ambitions, he also clearly told Jia Xingtian that their ambitions lay elsewhere.

After all, it's better to talk things out. When Jia Xingtian heard this, and with Xiao Fan helping him regulate his internal fighting spirit, he had the desire to break through to the Dou Zong realm again. Now he naturally felt more at ease with the Xiao family, since if the Xiao family really wanted to overturn the table, they would have no chance to resist.

Knowing that Xiao Yan was going to cultivate with Xiao Fan, they originally wanted to hand over the affairs of the Flame Alliance to Jia Xingtian. However, Jia Xingtian said that he also wanted to take advantage of the current time to go into seclusion and strive for the Dou Zong realm, so he directly asked them to find someone else.

This burden was tossed around and around, but in the end it fell on Hai Bodong's shoulders.

With Xiao Fan's return to the Xiao family, the already glorious status of the Xiao family became even more prestigious. Xiao Fan also took out the five-star Dou Zong strength puppet he had previously exchanged and handed it over to Xiao Ding and the others. After all, after he and Xiao Yan left, the Xiao family would still need a genuine powerhouse to keep order.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's description, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stared wide-eyed at the puppet before them. They never expected that Xiao Fan could produce a puppet of such power, and they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Such a grand gesture even caused Xiao Yan to lose his voice for a moment. If the Xiao family had had such a puppet back then, even if the Soul Palace protectors were here, his teacher would still have been safe and sound.

Originally, Xiao Ding and the others wanted to leave the puppet with Xiao Fan and his group for protection, but Xiao Fan casually said, "Don't worry, with this kind of strength, I can kill as many as come." In the end, they couldn't resist the temptation of the puppet's terrifying strength and left it inside the Xiao family.

However, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were practically drooling over the puppet, even wanting to share a bed with it that night... Luckily, it was just an ordinary combat puppet, and judging from its overall shape, it should be male, since Xiao Fan hadn't even lifted it up to take a look...

After leaving the puppet at the Xiao family, Xiao Fan took Xiao Yan and flew towards the abandoned site of the Yunlan Sect. Next, after picking up the two women, Xiao Fan planned to visit You Ruo in the Snake-People Clan before leaving with Xiao Yan.

After all, Yao Lao was his master, and since the Soul Palace had taken advantage of his absence to raid his home, he wanted to settle accounts with them as soon as possible.

Chapter 6: Whose senior brother trains his junior brother like this?

"What? You're not planning to come with me?"

At the ruins of the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Fan looked at Yun Yun, Little Fairy Doctor, and... Nalan Yanran with a surprised expression. He scratched his head involuntarily, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor before settling on Nalan Yanran. He asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing Xiao Fan's question, Nalan Yanran remained calm and said indifferently, "I will wait for my teacher here."

Knowing that Yun Yun and Xiao Fan had gone to the Chuyun Empire, Nalan Yanran had originally planned to go there as well. However, she broke through halfway and entered the Douhuang realm. After thinking about it, she realized that such a big thing had happened in the Jia Ma Empire, and Yun Yun would definitely come back once she found out. So she secretly returned and stayed at the Yunlan Sect ruins to cultivate. Finally, she waited for Yun Yun a couple of days ago.

However, looking at the man in front of her who was not much older than herself, Nalan Yanran was extremely unsettled. This little man was seducing her master?

Nalan Yanran glanced at Xiao Fan with a hint of resentment in her heart: Besides being a little good-looking, a little stronger, and a little more talented... what else does Master value in him?

Having been able to receive blessings from the successive sect leaders of the Yunlan Sect through her trials at the Gate of Life and Death, Nalan Yanran's talent is naturally not to be underestimated. In the original novel, if Nalan Yanran hadn't been hit by a series of setbacks later on, such as "her teacher and her ex-fiancé getting together," "her sect being destroyed and she still having to rely on her teacher to plead for her life," and "she being no match for Xiao Yan," her final achievements would definitely have been considerable.

However, now that Nalan Yanran knows that Yun Yun was abandoned by the Yunlan Sect, she has no feelings for the Yunlan Sect anymore. She is focused on finding Yun Yun and even played a part in the swift destruction of the Yunlan Sect by the Xiao family. Naturally, she still maintains a heart that yearns for the Dao.

"Um......"

Yun Yun, standing to the side, lowered her head slightly, but her eyes were firm. She looked at Xiao Fan with some guilt and said, "Following behind you, we won't get any training opportunities at all. Even if you encounter any danger, with our strength, we can't help you much. Besides, I'm not some clueless little girl."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Fan also pondered for a moment.

Afterwards, I will take Xiao Yan to subdue the demons, and then I will take Xiao Yan to the Lava World. These places are paradises for fire attribute cultivators. However, for Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor, one is wind attribute and the other is poison refining. No, now they are obsessed with alchemy. This is not good for them at all, but will only delay their cultivation.

Just like the Flower Sect, that was an opportunity for Yun Yun. If she had followed Xiao Fan, she might not have been able to obtain it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan nodded slightly and said, "Alright, but wait for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan was immersed in the system. Looking at the [Peak Dou Zong Full-Force Strike] experience token that had been refreshed in the shop, Xiao Fan couldn't help but suspect that the system was deliberately messing with him.

"System, redeem 3 [Peak Dou Zong Full-Force Strike] Experience Tokens."

[Ding! Exchange successful, Source Coins -15000]

[Remaining Source Coins: 520]

Xiao Fan watched as his 15520 Source Coins dwindled to only 520 points, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. "You don't know the value of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household," he said. Now Xiao Fan understood why those transmigrators in other worlds wouldn't even let a blade of grass go to waste.

"This is for you."

Xiao Fan pursed his lips, handed the experience talisman in his hand to Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor, and said, "Run away as soon as you encounter danger. This talisman can unleash the full power of a peak Dou Zong expert, but it can only be used once."

Upon hearing about such a good item, Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor both nodded and accepted it. Xiao Fan glanced at Nalan Yanran, who was staring blankly at him, then turned his eyes and handed the talisman to Xiao Yan, saying earnestly, "Junior brother, I don't need this talisman. Why don't you keep it? Or see who needs it and give it to them?"

Between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, it wasn't that Xiao Yan disliked Nalan Yanran for breaking off the engagement. Knowing that her fiancé was a good-for-nothing, it was normal for her, as a proud son of heaven, to want to break off the engagement. After all, no one can tolerate the person they spend their life with being a good-for-nothing.

Xiao Yan only had objections to Nalan Yanran's way of annulling the engagement, since that method completely trampled on his father's dignity.

Now that the Yunlan Sect has been destroyed, the anger in Xiao Yan's heart has long since dissipated, and he and Nalan Yanran are like strangers. However, upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, an awkward expression appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

Why did I suddenly get involved in my senior brother's affair with his two wives...?

However, after thinking about it, venturing into the mainland was no child's play. Besides, at least during the changes in the Yunlan Sect in recent years, Nalan Yanran was in the Gate of Life and Death, and the events in the outside world had nothing to do with her. Moreover, it was Nalan Yanran who took action during the battle of the Yunlan Sect, which saved the lives of several elders of the Xiao family. She was different from the rest of the Yunlan Sect.

"Let's consider this as gratitude for her saving the elders of the Xiao family..."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan took the talisman from Xiao Fan's hand and handed it to Nalan Yanran, who was standing to the side, saying, "I have to thank you for saving the elders of the Xiao family during that battle."

Xiao Fan was surprised that Xiao Yan actually accepted the talisman, and Nalan Yanran's face also showed a hint of astonishment.

Looking at Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran's eyes were once again filled with the image of Yan Xiao, who had shone brightly at the Alchemist Conference. After a moment of silence, she finally accepted the talisman from Xiao Yan's hand, gently thanked him, and returned to Yun Yun's side.

After handing the talisman to Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Fan gave them a few more instructions. Then he said that he planned to take Xiao Yan to Zhongzhou. Seeing the two about to part, Xiao Fan ignored Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran beside him, pulled them into his arms, and kissed them on the left and right. He was then kicked away by Yun Yun.

Yun Yun quickly wiped her face, and then the aura of a Dou Zong powerhouse was released, causing the Yunlan Sect ruins to tremble.

"Did you...see anything?"

Yun Yun's soft voice rang out. Seeing Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran shaking their heads like chicks, Yun Yun nodded in satisfaction. Then her expression changed, and she looked at Xiao Yan with a kind expression, saying, "Alright, hurry up and catch up with your senior brother. Tell him to be careful on the way."

"Okay, sister-in-law..."

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Yun Yun's expression changed, and she slapped him away towards Xiao Fan. She then glared fiercely at Xiao Fan, determined not to tarnish her image in front of her disciple.

Xiao Fan stood in mid-air, looking at Xiao Yan flying over, and said with a smile, "Let's go, your training officially begins from here."

"here?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Xiao Yan's face, and then a heavy, mountain-like aura slammed Xiao Yan to the ground. Xiao Fan looked at the deep pit on the ground, nodded in satisfaction, and then reached out and picked up a huge rock from the surrounding area. His right hand was like a sword, and with a few light strokes, he carved it neatly, and a stone recliner appeared on it, which also had a sunshade effect.

Xiao Fan took out a soft blanket and placed it on the bed. Then, with a wave of his hand, the boulder landed on Xiao Yan's back.

"Alright, now you carry this stone all the way to the Monster Mountain Range."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan lay back comfortably on the chair, his Dou Zong-level aura continuously descending downwards. A wisp of ethereal flame suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's chest, beginning to temper the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body.

"Sigh~"

The weight on his body made Xiao Yan want to circulate his Dou Qi, but the pressure on him only increased with each movement, so he gave up the idea. However, he felt the Fallen Heart Flame burning his internal organs all the time, and he couldn't help but wail, "Senior brother, can this heart flame be canceled?"

"No, although you no longer have a bottleneck and will soon advance, this Heart Fire can make your internal fighting spirit more solid, which is a benefit that others would beg for."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan happily continued lying down.

Xiao Yan carried a huge rock several meters in size on his back and walked step by step towards the Monster Mountain Range with great difficulty. With each step, the burning pain from the inner fire made him feel like he was being tortured.

"Oh, right, take out your Xuanzhong Ruler."

After walking for half a day, Xiao Fan finally remembered to have Xiao Yan take out the Xuan Heavy Ruler and carry it on his back. This way, Xiao Yan could train more purely, and Xiao Fan wouldn't have to constantly release pressure. That's right, it wasn't because he wanted to be lazy...

Chapter 7 Goodbye Zi Yan

On a wide main road on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.

A young boy attracted the attention of passersby; he was shirtless and carrying a walking palace on his back.

On the boy's back was a small palace carved from stone, tightly fitted to his body through a rock vest. It was called a small palace because, above the boulder, in addition to a large, spacious bed, there were several majestic dragon-headed beasts carved on it. Around the bed, there were stone pillars, on which were placed incense, fruit, and fine wine. A large, jet-black ruler was also stuck in front of the boulder, standing against the wind.

In the very center of the bed, nestled in soft blankets, a handsome young man was fast asleep, his outstretched fingers still hooking a half-finished wine bottle.

"Mmm..."

In the center of the bed, Xiao Fan, still half asleep, subconsciously picked up the bottle of liquor in his hand, half-closed his eyes, and took a sip. The strong liquor made him fully awake.

Stretching, Xiao Fan felt the bed moving smoothly and couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, junior brother, you're getting more and more familiar with controlling your power. The journey hasn't been bumpy at all."

Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Yan now. His aura had become more solid, and his originally thin body had gradually become more muscular over the journey. He looked much more energetic.

The only pity was that the boulder blocked the sun's rays, which thwarted Xiao Fan's plan to help Xiao Yan change his style, and he was unable to tan Xiao Yan.

When Xiao Yan heard that Xiao Fan above him had woken up, he lowered his head and sulked, too lazy to pay attention to him. Heaven knows how he got through this journey.

At first, he carried only a huge rock and a simple stone chair. Later, Xiao Fan thought of something and found another huge rock, on which he placed a bed. Later still, Xiao Fan felt it was a bit monotonous, so he carved some strange shapes and magical beasts, but Xiao Fan rejected them all. He then carved two enormous stone dragons and placed them on the stone platform.

Feeling sorry for Xiao Yan carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler and having difficulty lifting the palace, Xiao Fan thoughtfully took the Xuan Heavy Ruler to the platform above and even enhanced his own body with its effects. Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

Not to mention, there was a time when Xiao Fan fell asleep, and the fire in his chest kept burning, almost cooking him alive.

Xiao Fan reached out and picked a fresh fruit from a nearby stone pillar and ate it. It was somewhat similar to grapes from his previous life, but much larger and sweeter. He had found it by chance on the road and had saved some.

After surveying his surroundings, Xiao Fan nodded, then patted the boulder beneath him. A surge of power descended, extinguishing the inner fire within Xiao Yan's body. At the same time, he took out a bottle of blood-red pills from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Alright, let's dismantle this palace. You should take this pill and regulate your breathing first."

Xiao Fan raised his hand, and the huge palace behind Xiao Yan soared into the sky before landing beside the road. The Xuanzhong Ruler on it fell into Xiao Fan's hand and was stuck into the ground beside him.

With his shackles removed, Xiao Yan looked up at Xiao Fan, who was smiling broadly in front of him. After assessing his own strength, he helplessly pursed his lips and forced a smile.

"Okay, senior brother."

"I'm not strong enough right now, but I'll find a chance to take revenge later."
