Chapter 226: The Enthusiastic Yun Leng

Chapter 226: The Enthusiastic Yun Leng

Just as Xiao Ming was healing Gu He's wounds, the Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect approached Gu He's room.

"Sect Leader, from what my disciples have reported, is it true that you have successfully managed to invite Master Xiao Ming?" Yun Leng, the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, who was standing in front of the other Elders, looked at Yun Yun and asked.

"That's right, he is now inside helping Elder Gu He to heal his wounds." Yun Yun nodded her head and said.

"Have you prepared everything I asked for?" Yun Yun's gaze shifted towards a white storage ring on Yun Leng's finger.

"Of course, I took them out and came here as soon as I heard the news," Yun Leng said with a smile, and with a flash of white light, several jade boxes appeared in his hand.

These jade boxes were stacked on top of each other in Yun Leng's hand, and there were as many as a dozen of them, just by looking at the textures of the jade boxes, one could tell that they were made of good material.

It was clear that Yun Leng had a good grip on the jade boxes, but of course, no one cared about it, as everyone's attention was mainly focused on the jade boxes in his hands.

Liu Ling, Gu He's disciple, looked at the jade boxes in Yun Leng's hand and was quite shocked.

There were many rules in the large Sects, and even ordinary boxes for storing items had many levels.

The jade boxes in Yun Leng's hand were all stamped with various cloud patterns, and there were even three boxes with seven cloud patterns, which was only used in the boxes in which the Misty Cloud Sect placed their most precious items.

As the only disciple of a sixth-tier Alchemist in the Misty Cloud Sect, Liu Ling had only seen a few in his Master's hands over the years.

"You did well. When Master Xiao Ming comes out, you can give him these gifts. Be respectful, he is a Dou Ancestor now and should not be offended," said Yun Yun.

"What! Dou Ancestor!?" Hearing Yun Yun's words, Yun Leng's and the others' eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and an expression of disbelief showed on their faces.

Yun Leng's hand, which had been firmly holding the jade boxes, could not help but tremble a little.

"Sect Leader, you... are... are... joking, right? How could he possibly be a Dou Ancestor...?" said Yun Leng in a trembling voice.

What was the concept of a Dou Ancestor? Right now, there was not a single known Dou Ancestor in the Jia Ma Empire, let alone Dou Ancestors, there were barely a few Dou Emperors.

It could be said that Xiao Ming, a Dou Ancestor, could do as he pleased in the Jia Ma Empire.

Xiao Ming looked at Yun Leng with some confusion, as he didn't recognize him. He asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Wasn't this person overly enthusiastic?

"Haha, it's normal that Master Xiao Ming doesn't know me. I am the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Leng. You can call me Yun Leng directly," Yun Leng replied.

'So, it's you!'

As Yun Leng introduced himself, Xiao Ming finally remembered who he was.

In the original story, Yun Leng was the one who had gone on a rampage against the Xiao family and was eventually killed by Xiao Yan's Angry Buddha Lotus Flame. He was also responsible for Xiao Yan's second return to the Misty Cloud Sect.

However, looking at his current demeanor, it seemed that he wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Xiao family anymore.

Looking at Yun Leng's old face full of smiles, Xiao Ming nodded slightly as he thought to himself.

Seeing Xiao Ming nod his head, the smile on Yun Leng's face grew even wider, not feeling offended in the slightest.

After all, what was Xiao Ming's identity? A Dou Ancestor and a sixth-tier Alchemist. And what was his own identity? As the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, he may have sounded dignified, but in truth, he was just a mere Dou King. It was already a great honor that Xiao Ming had responded to his greeting.

Taking out the jade box that he had put away earlier due to his excitement, Yun Leng smiled and said, "Master, this is our payment to you. Please take a look inside."

Xiao Ming accepted the jade box, which had seven cloud patterns, and opened it. Inside, he found a slightly transparent white scroll. He examined it using his soul power and after a while, he opened his eyes again.

"I didn't expect your sect to have a high-grade seventh-tier pill recipe. It's deserving of a long-standing Sect."

The high-grade seventh-tier pill recipe was comparable to an intermediate Di Dou Technique and it came as a surprise to Xiao Ming that the Misty Cloud Sect would have something like this and be willing to offer it as payment.

Yun Yun was relieved to hear Xiao Ming's words, the Misty Cloud Sect's heritage that had been passed down for thousands of years was not as strong as it could have been. The reason for this was that the Misty Cloud Sect had gone through a period of turmoil and lost much of its heritage. If it hadn't, the Misty Cloud Sect wouldn't be in its current state, where they only had a couple of Di Dou Techniques at most.

"I'm glad you're satisfied with this item, Master. Please take a look at the other items as well."

This high-grade seventh-tier recipe was already enough to reward Xiao Ming for his service, as it didn't take much effort for him to treat Gu He. However, since Yun Leng and the Elders wanted to offer more, Xiao Ming would not refuse. Except that he did not continue to open the others.
