He then said, "That's right, it's my grandfather. His strength has already reached the peak of the Martial Venerable realm, just one step away from the Martial Emperor realm. Not only that, but his achievements in alchemy have also reached an unbelievable level. Our Zhou family has extremely strong talent in alchemy. Whether it's Martial Emperors or Martial Lords, our Zhou family has a place."
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, the old woman in white had a complex expression, but at the same time, her heart became more excited.
Peak Martial Venerable!
Martial Venerable, that was an existence even more terrifying than her.
The Zhou family, another powerful existence!
However, a grave expression also appeared on the old woman's face, as she could not see through the young man before her.
His cultivation realm was not high, only at the second stage of Innate Divine Unity. Yet, it felt as though an unparalleled power was contained within him, making him impossible to fathom.
"Zhou Yan, I hope you will maintain a good relationship with Zhou Xuanji as much as possible in the future. I also do not wish for you to be his enemy."
A moment later, the old woman in white spoke.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's face showed confusion.
However, he did not hesitate or refute the old woman. Instead, he directly agreed, "Mm, I understand."
Seeing Zhou Yan agree, the old woman in white breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you may go down now. I have matters to attend to."
"Yes, Grandmother."
With that, Zhou Yan turned and walked out.
"By the way, Grandmother, you mentioned Zhou Xuanji of the Zhou family just now. Could it be him?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan stopped and turned back to ask.
"Who is he?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's question, the old woman in white was startled for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, "I don't know him. I only heard about this matter today. I am not clear about the specifics."
After speaking, she turned and entered the villa.
"..."
Looking at the retreating figure, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips. Big Wind Novel
"Zhou Xuanji? It seems that name is quite imposing, but I am not afraid, because in my heart, he is far inferior to my grandfather."
Zhou Yan muttered to himself, then turned and walked in another direction.
Meanwhile, in the old woman in white's room, she opened her palm.
Instantly, a ball of flame hovered above her hand, emitting a scorching temperature.
Below the flame was a token.
The appearance of this token was not much different from the one from before.
"This Zhou Xuanji is indeed the head of the Zhou family."
"And this token is also very ancient. I believe his strength must be incredibly terrifying."
A grave expression appeared on the old woman's face.
Although she said this, a strong desire for battle still lingered in her eyes, even bordering on eagerness.
She wanted to have a good fight with Zhou Xuanji. She had tens of thousands of years of lifespan, and she had long wished to challenge herself to see if she could break through to a higher level.
No matter the outcome, she had to try.
This was her obsession.
...
In a building on the outskirts of a city.
"Haha, you all heard that. We've made a fortune this time!"
"That's right, the girl's blood is a good thing. It can improve our bloodline level. We've really struck it rich this time. This sum of money will be enough for us to buy so many spirit herbs and treasures. This girl is truly a gift from heaven!"
"Yes, yes, we've really earned big this time. We won't have to worry about spirit herbs and elixirs anymore."
"This trip, we've really hit the jackpot."
Several voices echoed within the room.
In front of them was a table.
On the table were many alchemy furnaces and medicinal ingredients. In front of them were bottles and pills.
Next to the elixirs was a small booklet.
This booklet contained notes on refining elixirs.
"This time, we can successfully trade the elixirs. He is our great contributor, and all the gains here belong to him."
"That's right, give it to him."
"We've really made a profit this time."
These old men spoke with great excitement.
Their faces were filled with joy.
They hadn't earned so much money in a long time. Big Wind Novel Network
Moreover, the quality of these elixirs was extraordinary. Their hearts were filled with excitement, wishing they could immediately take the elixirs and show them off elsewhere.
"Good, then you all note it down. When the time comes, send the elixirs to the Zhou family, and they will help us."
The old man in black robes spoke, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"No problem."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
And within their eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed.
They were all killed by Zhou Xuanji, so Zhou Xuanji was their most hated target. Now that a contribution was in front of them, how could they easily give it up?
This Zhou Xuanji, must be killed!
"Mm, keep this matter a secret. We cannot let others know, otherwise, you all know what the consequences would be. Therefore, only you few know about this. Do you understand?"
The old man in black robes continued to instruct, his eyes stern. Clearly, their plan this time was dangerous.
"Mm, we know what to do."
The other old men quickly nodded, their eyes filled with reverence.
Seeing this, the old man in black robes nodded, then stood up and turned to walk outside.
"Whoosh!"
After he walked out, the old men let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alas, I hope Zhou Yan won't die this time, otherwise, our fate would also be miserable."
An old man with a face full of wrinkles sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.
The others fell silent upon hearing this.
"Alas, Zhou Yan, this time, I truly cannot save you."
"Zhou Yan, I am powerless to change your destiny. I hope you won't resent me."
...
Other old men sighed repeatedly, their eyes filled with despair.
"Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan, I never expected you to be from the Zhou family. It's truly surprising."
"However, this time, I might have to use you to achieve my goal."
"..."
The old men were all thinking this to themselves.
...
Zhou Family, Zhoujiabao.
"What? Your young man actually defeated that old demoness? That's impossible, right?"
In the main hall of Zhoujiabao, Zhou Yunshan's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Although their Zhoujiabao was only a bottom-tier family in the Three Star Domain, they were still one of the top five forces. How could they have been dealt with by a mere brat?
