Starting with the Sword Ancestor System: Xiao Yan, Your Harem is Mine!

225: News from the Medicine Clan: The future is set.Inside the quiet room, the atmosphere was solemn.

Mittel Hoper and Ya Fei stood respectfully below, presenting several Jade Slips containing a vast amount of information.

These were the recent major news items from Zhongzhou that the Mittel Family had gathered by utilizing all their intelligence networks, and even through Ya Fei’s slight connection with the Pill Tower.

Li Ao’s Soul Power swept over the Jade Slips; a massive amount of information surged into his Sea of Consciousness like a tide, instantly categorized and refined into core points by his powerful Soul Power.

Zhongzhou had indeed been turbulent recently.

The Earth Core Furnace Heavenly Punishment incident was the biggest explosion, attracting attention from all sides.

The Hall of Souls’ activities were frequent, intensifying their search for Soul bodies in the Northern Region and even the core areas of Zhongzhou, their ambition for power expansion clearly revealed.

The Pill Tower was about to hold a new round of the Pill Ceremony, drawing Alchemists from across the continent.

Some ancient clans, such as the Lei Clan and Shi Clan, also had younger generation disciples beginning to move around Zhongzhou, seemingly signaling some kind of change.

Regarding the few points Li Ao was most concerned about:

Hall of Souls: As expected, after suffering a great loss at his hands, the Northern Region branch did not immediately retaliate; instead, they retracted their forces and became unusually quiet.

However, beneath this quietness was an even more turbulent undercurrent.

Intelligence showed that a mysterious powerful individual had secretly arrived at the Northern Region branch, whose aura far surpassed that of ordinary Elders Zun, likely from the Hall of Souls’ main hall.

At the same time, the Hall of Souls had secretly increased the Rank of their search for individuals related to Li Ao by several levels.

Yan Clan: After Li Ao’s “disappearance” in the Earth Core Furnace, the Yan Clan had sent people to investigate, but returned without success in front of the traces of the Heavenly Punishment.

The Elder Yan Jin, who traded the solar essence gold, seemed to have received some criticism within the clan due to this incident.

Now that Li Ao had returned and displayed terrifying strength, the Yan Clan’s internal attitude was ambiguous, with no clear movements for now, but intelligence showed that the Yan Clan was quite interested in the “flames” controlled by Li Ao (which was likely a misinterpretation of the information about the solar essence gold or earth core fire lotus) and that strange power.

Medicine Clan: This was Li Ao’s top priority.

Intelligence regarding the Medicine Clan was relatively scarce; this ancient clan had always been reclusive, rarely interacting with the outside world.

However, a seemingly insignificant piece of news from a few months ago caught Li Ao’s attention—the Medicine Clan seemed to be holding an internal “Medicine Ceremony” within their clan territory in the near future!

It was not a Pill Ceremony like the Pill Tower’s, which was open to the world, but a grand event for the Medicine Clan to test the alchemy skills of their younger generation and possibly use this opportunity for limited exchanges with a few allied forces.

“Medicine Ceremony…” Li Ao’s fingers gently tapped the table, a faint glint in his eyes.

This was an opportunity!

An opportunity to legitimately enter the Medicine Clan and make contact with the core figures of the Medicine Clan! It was much more secure than his previously planned forced entry or private request for an audience.

To revive Xiao Yi Xian, he needed the Medicine Clan’s bone-fusing blood-melting Pill Formula, and most importantly—a Ninth Grade Pill, the Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill, or at least knowledge of its exact Pill Formula and refining method.

Such core secrets were absolutely inaccessible to ordinary members of the Medicine Clan.

Only at such a grand event would it be possible to contact the true high-level members of the Medicine Clan, and even… those few remaining Ninth Grade Alchemist Great Grandmasters!

“Medicine Clan’s ‘Medicine Ceremony,’ when does it start? How can one enter?” Li Ao looked at Ya Fei and asked directly.

Ya Fei had already anticipated Li Ao asking about this and quickly replied, “Replying to Mister, according to scattered rumors, the Medicine Clan’s Medicine Ceremony will be held in approximately three months.
