Xiao Yu nodded and said seriously, "Rest assured, Young Clan Leader."
Xiao Xue nodded and took out a jade bottle to give to Xiao Yu.
"Inside are two Qi Gathering Powders; after your brother and Xiao Mei break through to the Ninth Stage of Dou Qi, you are responsible for giving them to them."
Then, she took out a jade box, "Inside are some healing and detoxifying Medicinal Pills; take these as well, in case of an emergency."
"Yes." Hearing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly took the jade bottle, "Xiao Yu thanks the Young Clan Leader here."
After finishing the instructions for the Xiao Family, Xiao Xue turned to the Xiao Xun Er by her side, "Xun'er, remember, do not waste time in the Outer Academy."
"When the first competition for the Inner Academy spots happens, go directly into the Inner Academy with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, understand?"
Xiao Xun Er nodded, "Mhm, Sister Xue Er, Xun'er will wait for you in the Inner Academy."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue also planned to go train separately.
Because her and Xiao Yan's Dou Qi attributes were different, they did not choose to travel together.
To give a simple example, the Tagor Desert was a Holy Land for cultivation for Xiao Yan, who had a fire attribute.
But for Xiao Xue, who had a Water Attribute, it could not be considered a good place for cultivation.
Of course, this was just an excuse given by Xiao Xue; training with Xiao Yan would bring many inconveniences.
Moreover, she was a Dou Ling, and Xiao Yan was now a Two-Star Dou Practitioner; the gap in strength was too large.
The two of them being together would be like dragging each other down, and Yao Lao would not be very supportive of it either.
Xiao Xue was already a Dou Ling, so in terms of safety, there was no need to worry.
Therefore, after giving Xiao Yan a Soul Power communication jade token for contact, the two parted ways.
Xiao Yan planned to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Yao Lao first, and then go to the Tagor Desert to search for the exotic fire; this route was not much different from the original story.
As for Xiao Xue, she had previously asked Yao Lao about some information regarding the Northern Cold Land.
Firstly, the Fighting Qi Continent was vast, and in the original story, many places had not been explored.
Therefore, she indeed wanted to unlock the "sea area" or "ice field" dungeons.
For her, with her Water Attribute, compared to the Central Plains or the inland, perhaps in those places, there were Opportunities more suitable for her.
Secondly, it was to give a reasonable explanation for the Bone Chilling Flame.
The Bone Chilling Flame was born in the extreme cold, and it could only be encountered in places of extreme cold and extreme yin.
The Bone Chilling Flame was ranked eleventh; although not high, there was still a possibility of two existing simultaneously.
And Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame was likely found in the extreme cold.
However, these matters would naturally be planned after resolving the Snake-People Clan's issues and the Soul Hall Protector in the Cloud Mist Sect.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, Xiao Xue spread her Dou Qi Wings and flew towards the north, then on the way, she took a turn, heading towards the northwest, straight for the Tagor Desert.
However, during the flight, Ah Li suddenly called out to Xiao Xue via Mental Energy transmission, "Hmm... someone is following us."
"What?"
Xiao Xue was slightly stunned; her current Soul Power was already comparable to a Peak Sixth Grade.
In this Jia Ma Empire, whose aura could escape her perception?
"Hmm... see for yourself." Ah Li said, connecting her Soul Power to Xiao Xue's Sea of Consciousness.
Just like Xiao Yan using Yao Lao's Soul Power to detect his surroundings, Xiao Xue's Soul Power instantly became more than a notch stronger.
Within the perception of Xiao Xue's enhanced Soul Power, she discovered that suspicious yet familiar figure.
Young Miss Xun'er's bodyguard—Ling Ying.
If it weren't for Xiao Xue's Soul Power having increased, Xiao Xue would not have been able to discover the figure's location, distance, and concealment.
Ling Ying was also a high-level Dou Huang, and his Dou Qi was of the Dark Attribute, which was best at concealment, making him most suitable for secret protection and assassination.
In her carelessness, even Xiao Xue had overlooked him.
After discovering that the person behind her was Ling Ying, Xiao Xue shook her head helplessly.
Xun'er had now joined the Jia Nan Academy, and there would basically be no problems with safety there.
Therefore, it was understandable that Xun'er had sent Ling Ying to follow her now.
After all, in the original story, after Xun'er joined the Jia Nan Academy, Ling Ying had always followed Xiao Yan, secretly protecting him.
However, she didn't need it!
Moreover, having Ling Ying nearby would bring many unnecessary troubles.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Xue used Ah Li's Soul Power to wrap around herself, preventing being sensed, and quietly flew towards Ling Ying's direction.
