Chapter 54 Boss Xiao Zheng
As soon as Xiao Zhan walked up to Xiao Zheng, he said gently, "Nephew Xiao Zheng, you've emerged from seclusion."
As he finished speaking, he became a little curious about Xiao Zheng's current cultivation level—he hadn't observed Xiao Zheng when he went to the secluded cultivation room earlier because he was in a hurry to prepare for his coming-of-age ceremony.
Therefore, it was only at this moment that Xiao Zhan began to carefully observe Xiao Zheng.
This sight was quite something; it caused Xiao Zhan's smile to falter slightly, and his heart to tremble.
Half a year ago, when Xiao Zheng went into seclusion, he had just broken through to the level of a six-star Great Dou Master. In the past six months, he has been diligently cultivating and has barely managed to step into the realm of a seven-star Great Dou Master.
But at this moment, sensing the fluctuations of Dou Qi flowing within Xiao Zheng's body, it was found to be on par with his own, which meant that Xiao Zheng was also a Seven-Star Great Dou Master!
What alarmed him even more was the white-clad girl standing beside Xiao Zheng. Little Fairy Doctor's aura was calm and even, like an ordinary girl. However, Xiao Zhan, as a seven-star Great Dou Master, could not see through her strength at all, as if he were facing a bottomless abyss.
This means that Little Fairy Doctor's strength is even more unfathomable!
"It's normal for an alchemist's disciple to level up quickly, but this is ridiculously fast!"
Xiao Zhan was secretly shocked. In just half a year, he had soared from a one-star Great Dou Master to a seven-star. Such a cultivation speed was extremely rare even among the top families.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and sincerely praised, "Nephew Xiao Zheng is truly exceptionally talented. In just half a year, he has already broken through to the Seven-Star Great Dou Master level."
"Even my Yan'er is nothing compared to you."
Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Xiao family gasped in unison, their cloudy eyes filled with disbelief.
The Grand Elder's voice trembled: "Half a year... from one star to seven stars? This cultivation speed is simply unheard of!"
The Second Elder took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, we repaired our relationship with Nephew Xiao Zheng in time half a year ago, otherwise, with the talent and strength he has shown now, our Xiao family would have really suffered a great loss."
The Third Elder remained silent, only nodding repeatedly.
……
on the steps.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning both gasped in shock.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Xiao Yu carefully examined Xiao Zheng. His face was indeed the one she remembered, but the fact that he was a Seven-Star Great Dou Master made it impossible for her to connect him with the "good-for-nothing" who had only reached the third stage of Dou Qi after more than ten years of cultivation.
"How is this possible? How could he become a Seven-Star Grandmaster?"
Xiao Yu's heart was in turmoil. She had once looked down on Xiao Zheng because of his useless talent, but now the cultivation talent he showed was even more terrifying than that guy Xiao Yan!
Xiao Ning was also shocked. He rubbed his ears hard to make sure he hadn't misheard.
Just as the two were filled with doubt, the group of teenagers next to them who were participating in their coming-of-age ceremony started talking excitedly.
"So this is the great Xiao Zheng! I've long heard that our clan has produced a genius who is on par with the young clan leader!"
"They're more than just equals; I think they've already surpassed the young clan leader!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too. Putting aside everything else, just take half a year ago, Boss Xiao Zheng personally wiped out the Obama family and the Jialie family! This is something that even the young patriarch couldn't do."
"Master Xiao Zheng suddenly disappeared half a year ago. I thought he had left, but I never imagined that he had been in seclusion in the family all this time!"
"I've heard that not only is Boss Xiao Zheng incredibly powerful, but he's also a second-grade alchemist. If I could get a few pills from him, I'd be set for life!"
Listening to the admiring comments of these young people, Xiao Yu felt a mix of emotions, including envy, jealousy, and resentment.
She couldn't help but compare Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yan.
In Xiao Yu's view, Xiao Yan's current achievements are due to his genius and the help of the mysterious alchemist.
But Xiao Zheng is different!
Xiao Zheng used to be a notorious good-for-nothing!
"Unless... he's always been a prodigy, but his previous cultivation methods were wrong."
A thought suddenly popped into Xiao Yu's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed: "Even the most useless person couldn't possibly cultivate for over ten years to only reach the third stage of Dou Qi. There must be something wrong with the previous cultivation method!"
Unlike Xiao Yu's complex emotions, Xiao Ning felt a secret joy after the initial shock.
He watched Xiao Zheng's figure, a slight smile creeping onto his lips as he muttered to himself, "Xiao Yan, although I no longer dislike you, I still have to say—"
"Looks like you're nothing special after all."
"In our Xiao family, there's someone whose talent surpasses yours!"
Although Xiao Ning and Xiao Zheng weren't close, he felt inexplicably pleased to see a member of the Xiao family surpass Xiao Yan.
Just as the discussion was in full swing, Xiao Zheng cupped his hands to Xiao Zhan and said, "Uncle Xiao, you flatter me. It was all just luck, nothing more."
His words were no different from those of Versailles, causing everyone present to twitch at the corners of their mouths.
What a stroke of luck...
I'd like to try my luck too!
Xiao Zheng glanced at the young men around him and casually asked, "Are you holding a coming-of-age ceremony?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and smiled, "That's true."
After a pause, he extended an invitation to Xiao Zheng: "Nephew Xiao Zheng, since you've arrived just in time, why not stay and participate? With a genius like you here, the younger generation can learn a lot."
Xiao Zheng had no time for that. He shook his head slightly and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Xiao, but I am not an elder in the family, so it is not appropriate for me to attend such an occasion. I will not disturb you."
Seeing Xiao Zheng's resolute attitude, Xiao Zhan did not press the matter further: "Since that's the case, then I won't force you."
Xiao Zheng nodded without saying anything more, turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor beside him, and said softly, "Let's go."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the Xiao family disciples around her. When they met her gaze, they all subconsciously shut their mouths, feeling an invisible pressure coming towards them.
A playful smile appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's lips as she caught up with Xiao Zheng, saying, "Brother Xiao Zheng, wait for me."
Brother Xiao Zheng?
When Xiao Zhan heard Little Fairy Doctor address Xiao Zheng, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Yan and Xun'er. Speaking of which, Yan'er has been gone for more than two years. He wondered how he was doing now.
The Grand Elder watched Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor's departing figures and sighed, "Truly, every generation produces its own talented individuals. Nephew Xiao Zheng and Miss Little Fairy Doctor are destined to become figures who command respect in the future."
The three elders nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with approval.
As Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning watched the two leave, their thoughts were quite different; one was filled with complex emotions, while the other was secretly delighted.
Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor ignored the gazes behind them and walked steadily out of the Xiao family's territory, heading towards the Mittel Auction House in the center of Wutan City.
