Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow falls on this bustling city, casting a layer of warm glow over the entire city.

The streets are bustling with people, the hawkers' calls can be heard one after another, and the air is filled with the aroma of various foods.

In the center of the city, a vast mansion stands tall.

Although he had been away for many years, everything in front of him still felt familiar to him.

The mansion is more magnificent than before, with towering walls and imposing gates, every detail of which demonstrates the owner's extraordinary status.

"Over the years, the Xiao family has indeed developed very well."

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, a smile unconsciously appearing on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, an old man walked out of the mansion quickly.

His bright eyes lit up the moment he saw Xiao Yan, and a happy smile instantly broke out on his face.

"The Third Young Master is back!"

The old man shouted excitedly, his voice full of joy.

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the mansion. Then, countless servants of the Xiao family rushed out, all with surprised expressions on their faces.

"Third Master!"

"The Third Young Master is back!"

Cheers rang out one after another, and the entire Xiao Mansion was instantly boiling.

Xiao Yan looked at the enthusiastic scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling moved.

Although he has been away from home for many years, the people here still welcome him so warmly, and this friendship makes him feel very warm.

At this moment, three figures walked out of the crowd.

Leading the group was an old man with white hair and beard, who was the eldest elder of the Xiao family.

Behind him, there were two old men with equally kind faces, they must be the second elder and the third elder.

"Third Master, you are finally back!"

The great elder stepped forward quickly and spoke excitedly. His old face was filled with joy, and even tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yes, we have been looking forward to seeing you back for so long! "

The second elder also echoed, unable to hide the smile on his face.

The third elder stepped forward, took Xiao Yan's hand, and looked at him carefully.

"Thank you for your courtesy, three elders. It's been many years since we last met. Are you all in good health?"

Faced with the concern of the three elders, Xiao Yan felt warm in his heart and quickly returned the greeting.

"Thanks to the Third Young Master, our old bones are still strong!"

The Great Elder said with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked towards the depths of the Xiao Mansion, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Father, the Xiao family is very prosperous now, I wish you could see it!"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, with a hint of emotion in his voice.

However, before he finished speaking, a hint of sadness flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes. Although there was a smile on his face, the bitterness in his eyes could not be concealed.

His father's whereabouts are still unknown. As a son, he has gained nothing in all these years, and the guilt and self-blame in his heart are beyond words.

Just as Xiao Yan was immersed in his thoughts, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

"Xiao Yanzi!"

A magnetic male voice sounded, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts.

Xiao Yan looked up and saw two figures walking towards him quickly.

The leader was a tall young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an extraordinary demeanor. Beside him was a handsome middle-aged man with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

They were Xiao Yan’s two elder brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

"Big brother! Second brother!"

Xiao Yan showed a happy smile on his face and walked over quickly. "Haha, Xiao Yanzi, you are finally back!"

"Knowing you were coming back, we rushed back from outside."

Xiao Li took a step forward, put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulders, and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's been many years since we last met. Xiao Yanzi has grown a lot taller."

Xiao Ding smiled and nodded.

When the three brothers met, they burst into laughter.

Now both of them have reached the Dou Wang level and are considered strong men in the Jia Ma Empire.

However, Xiao Yan did not dwell on this topic for long, but turned to the real purpose of this trip.

"My two brothers, I came back this time because I have something important to do."

Xiao Yan's expression turned serious, and his tone became solemn.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

"What's the matter? So serious?"

Xiao Ding asked.

"I want to meet my ancestor Xiao Chen."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. They stared at Xiao Yan with eyes wide open, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Meet the ancestors? Xiao Yanzi, what do you mean?"

Xiao Li asked with a frown, a hint of confusion in his tone.

"This matter is of great importance. Why don't we find a quiet place to discuss it in detail?"

Xiao Yan looked around and said softly.

In the study room, the sandalwood incense was curling and the atmosphere was peaceful. Xiao Yan sat in the main seat, with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li on both sides. The three elders stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Xiao Yan to speak.

"Although the ancestor has been in seclusion, he must have been paying attention to the Xiao family. I plan to refine a seventh-grade elixir to attract the elixir thunder and use the opportunity to call on the ancestor."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

Hearing this plan, everyone present took a deep breath. They knew very well what a seventh-grade elixir meant. It was a precious elixir that even some big forces might not be able to possess!
"You... you can now refine seventh-grade elixirs?!"

Xiao Li widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"I was lucky enough to reach the level of a seventh-grade peak alchemist."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and nodded.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire study room fell into deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yan in shock, as if they were meeting him for the first time.

A seventh-grade peak alchemist, this kind of achievement is rare even in the entire continent!
"In that case, let's follow Xiao Yanzi's plan. Our Xiao family will fully cooperate!"

After a long time, Xiao Ding came back to his senses, took a deep breath and said.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Seven days later, in the early morning, the originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. The people of Wutan City were frightened by this sudden vision.

However, the people of the Xiao family knew what this meant.

Xiao Yan's figure slowly rose from the ground, and finally floated in the air. He held a crystal clear pill in his hands, and a faint golden light emanated from his body.

"Boom!"

A deafening thunder suddenly sounded, followed by a thick bolt of lightning falling from the sky and heading straight towards Xiao Yan.

However, facing this terrifying pill thunder, Xiao Yan was not afraid at all. He took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and shouted loudly:
"The younger generation of the Xiao clan wants to see our ancestors!"

Xiao Yan's voice contained a powerful fluctuation of fighting spirit, which instantly spread throughout the entire Wutan City.

If Xiao Chen was really paying attention here, he would definitely be able to hear what he said. (End of this chapter)
