Chapter 521: Tian Xiaoqian Is Shock

Huangfu Meizhen looked at her husband and told him about Tang Xiao’s earlier warning, which took Song Tianzun somewhat by surprise.

Song Tianzun knew that Tang Xiao was special, particularly given his golden cultivation aptitude. However, he also had many questions about Tang Xiao, particularly how he could understand the intricacies of the space rift.

After all, this was the first time a space rift had appeared, and none of the cultivators in the Canglan Realm, including Xuanyuan Lingtian, had any information about it.

Despite his doubts and questions, Song Tianzun chose to believe him. He believed Tang Xiao not because of him, but because Xuanyuan Lingtian and Huangfu Lingxuan trusted him so much.

Song Tianzun spoke to Zhan Yiran and the three other women. "Once the people from the four clans arrive, we will head to the second area. However, we won’t proceed directly to the third area; instead, we will focus on gathering herbs in the second area first."

"Herbs?" Zhan Yiran, Zhao Xuenning, and Sun Qingyao looked at Song Tianzun in confusion.

As for the fake Shangguan Qingyue, she had already gotten orders from Tang Xiao. Since she was her doll, she naturally didn’t question his order.

"Yes," Song Tianzun nodded to them. "I received information from other cultivators that this area is full of herbs at rank 5 and above, so we must not waste this opportunity. However, the three of you must be on full alert; that area is teeming with beasts with cultivation in the King and Emperor Realms."

"Rank 5 and above herbs." They exclaimed in shock.

In their realm, rank 5 herbs were scarce, but Song Tianzun said there were rank 6 and above herbs in the second area.

"This place isn’t Misty Ridge, and it’s a completely new place, so you three don’t need to be shocked by it."

Huangfu Meizhen immediately spoke to them. "You guys should cultivate now, and we’ll go to the second area once they arrive."

Like the previous days, Zhan Yiran and Zhao Xuenning immediately started cultivating, but Sun Qingyao remained lazy.

Since Song Tianzun was with them, the fake Shangguan Qingyue pretended to cultivate, even though her body couldn’t absorb qi because she was a puppet.

Huangfu Meizhen tried to contact Tang Xiao again, but he didn’t answer this time, making her sigh helplessly.

In another area, Dugu Changxu, Situ Qingze, and the two elders of the Situ Clan had already met several other members of the Situ and Dugu Clans.

Since the two clans had long been friends, they decided to move together. However, Situ Hao and Situ Han suddenly received a voice message from Situ Lingxi; she asked them not to go directly to the third area but to focus on collecting herbs in the second area.

Situ Hao and Situ Han exchanged confused glances, but they chose to believe Situ Lingzhi. They informed Dugu Changxu and Situ Qingze about the matter.

Situ Qingze didn’t believe it. "Tch! My sister is not an alchemist, Elder Hao! How could she possibly know about herbs?"

"Young master, you should remember that Xuanyuan Wenxuan is in the same group as your sister, and he is one of the talented alchemists of the Lingdan Pavilion."

Situ Qingze opened his mouth, but he couldn’t refute Situ Han because he knew Xuanyuan Wenxuan’s ability and popularity. His parents even considered marrying his sister to him, but the man already had a fiancée.

Unlike the arrogant and spoiled Situ Qingze, Dugu Changxu was more aware of the situation in the space rift. He was also very familiar with Xuanyuan Wenxuan’s abilities as an alchemist, so he agreed with Situ Hao and Situ Han.

Once they reached a decision, Situ Hao and Situ Han led them towards the second area, with Situ Qingze trailing behind them while grumbling.

Besides the Huangfu and Situ Clans, Tang Xiao also shared the news with several other clans that had a relationship with him, such as the Chen, Su, Huo, Fei, Yao, and Fu Clans.

Although he shared that information with them, Tang Xiao didn’t force them to search for herbs and left the decision to them.

Unlike Xuanyuan Wenxuan and the others, Tang Xiao had already gathered a wide variety of herbs in a short amount of time. After all, he had Xiao Ai, who possessed a wealth of experience from having followed her old master in the past.

After gathering all the various types of herbs in the surrounding area, Tang Xiao didn’t rest; instead, he went to battle the wild beasts to test his strength, especially after his cultivation broke through to the Upper Rank of the King Level.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Yueyao and Tian Xiaoqian sat leisurely on a branch of a large tree, observing everyone who was fighting against those wild beasts.

Tian Xiaoqian was impressed by Tang Huang, Sun Qian, and Zhang Fei’s abilities in actual combat. Although their age and cultivation were below her seniors, she could see that their combat abilities were not inferior to her own.

What impressed Tian Xiaoqian most was their speed and precision in executing their techniques. She could see that those wild beasts couldn’t keep up with their speed, and all of those people’s attacks were always efficient and precise.

When she looked at the location of Tang Yin and the others, Tian Xiaoqian also discovered those women weren’t inferior to their seniors, whether in terms of their movement speed or attack efficiency. Even Mu Yan, who was much younger than them, also had high speed.

Tian Xiaoqian sucked in a sharp breath of air. "How do they train exactly? Their cultivation is still at the Xiantian and King Levels, but they are in no way inferior to cultivators with cultivation at the Emperor Level."

"Told you, right?" Xuanyuan Yueyao chuckled. "Look at Situ Lingxi; she joined them not long ago, but her fighting ability and speed have already improved quite a bit. If you didn’t have your special ability, she would have defeated you easily."

Tian Xiaoqian turned to her. "Are they the reason you lowered yourself by choosing Tang Xiao as your future husband?"

"Hahaha," Xuanyuan Yueyao laughed in amusement. "If you believe that choosing him as my future husband is a sign of lowering myself, then I must say that you are short-sighted."

"Why? What exactly is his advantage?"

"Be patient and try to get to know him better, then you will get your answer."

"Tch." Tian Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and looked at Tang Xiao’s location. She raised an eyebrow in surprise when she saw Xue Bai with him. "What kind of beast is that?"

"The Winged Snow Leopard."

Tian Xiaoqian looked at Xue Bai seriously. "I’ve met snow leopards on the snow mountain, but I’ve never met one with wings. Her cultivation is obviously still at the Xiantian Level, but her presence scares away beasts at the King Level."

"He seems to have gotten that beast from his home realm." Xuanyuan Yueyao pointed to the small python on Situ Lingxi’s shoulder. "See that beast? You surely weren’t paying attention to her, right? She is the Emerald Scale Python Beast, and he helped Lingxi make a contract with her."

If Xuanyuan Yueyao hadn’t mentioned it, Tian Xiaoqian wouldn’t have noticed Cui Jing’s presence, especially with her focus always on Tang Xiao. "The Emerald Scale Python, huh? How did he tame her? Her cultivation has already reached the Peak Rank of the Tyrant Level, and she will break through to the Saint Level soon."

"Do you still think I’m lowering myself by choosing him as my future husband? Even with your current cultivation, you wouldn’t dare to approach the Emerald Scale Python Beast, let alone tame it."

"Humph," Tian Xiaoqian snorted softly. "I admit that I don’t dare approach the Emerald Scale Python Beast, but what I mean by lowering yourself isn’t because of his abilities or cultivation level, but rather his status as the husband of six wives!"

Xuanyuan Yueyao shrugged nonchalantly. "As I said before, you don’t know him well yet, and I’m sure your opinion of him will change once you get to know him better."

"Love-crazed!" Tian Xiaoqian grumbled softly, but her expression changed when she saw Tang Xiao do something surprising. "He... He has three elements?"

"Four to be exact."

"What?" Tian Xiaoqian stared at her friend with her mouth wide open. "Are you serious that he has four elements?"

"Fire, Wind, Lightning, and an unknown element."

"An unknown element?"

Xuanyuan Yueyao shook her head. "I’ve seen him use that element several times, and it’s similar to the space element. However, I can confirm that it’s not the space element but something else."

"Something else?"

"My uncle already knows about his element, but he can’t figure out what kind of element it is. That’s why I told you to keep your eyes on him, and you’ll know what’s special about him."

Tian Xiaoqian didn’t say anything; her eyes focused on observing Tang Xiao and following his movements. She was surprised once again when he combined fire and wind elements, which increased the power of his fire technique.

Tian Xiaoqian looked up at the sky above Tang Xiao’s location, seeing a rain of fire descending from above. The range of his attacks was quite wide, and he controlled the fire well, so they only hit the beasts.

Moreover, none of the beasts could evade Tang Xiao’s attacks, as he used his wind element to hold them firmly in their positions. Apart from his fire element, his lightning element range and power were also extraordinarily wide and strong.

Tian Xiaoqian began to understand why Xuanyuan Lingtian valued Tang Xiao so highly, and she also came to grasp why her best friend had chosen him to be her future husband.

Xuanyuan Yueyao smiled faintly when she saw her best friend’s expression of admiration mixed with shock. ’If you say he isn’t worthy of being my prospective husband, then there isn’t a single man who deserves to be by my side.’
