Chapter 218 The Bloodline of the Dou Di, Heading to the Black Corner Region

Seeing that Yao Lao couldn't hide his regret when he talked about this, Xiao Yan smiled and comforted him: "Teacher, if you look at it on the bright side, doesn't this mean that there is no Dou Di in the world who can rival you now? It's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Haha, Little Yanzi, you know how to talk. I was the one who was confused." Yao Lao laughed upon hearing this.

"However, to be fair, my obsession with breaking through to the Dou Di realm isn't entirely for my own cultivation level."

The smile on Yao Lao's face gradually faded, and when he mentioned the past, his tone became more melancholy: "As you know before, I have the bloodline of the Yao Clan's Dou Di flowing in my veins, but unfortunately I am only from a collateral branch, and this bloodline is so thin that it is almost non-existent."

"That's why, when I offended Yao Wangui, who was in charge of punishments, he expelled me from the Yao clan on some trivial and fabricated charges."

He sighed softly, his voice tinged with lingering melancholy: "Even so, my greatest wish in this life has never been to become a top expert in the Dou Qi Continent. I just want to have my parents' names re-engraved on the Yao Clan's ancestral tablet."

He paused slightly, then added, "It's not that I still have any illusions about the Medicine Clan. The moment Yao Wangui expelled me from the clan, I severed all ties with this family. It's just that this promise was one I made to my father, Yao Huo, when he passed away."

At this point, Yao Lao looked up at Xiao Yan, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He then changed the subject, saying, "With your teacher's current strength at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level, even if the Yao Clan Chief were to voluntarily step down, no one would dare utter a single word of dissent."

"But do you know why I'm still so fixated on breaking through to the Dou Di realm?"

Xiao Yan subconsciously shook his head—he didn't know much about the inner workings of the eight major races, and he didn't understand why the bloodline of the Dou Di was valued so much.

Just like the Xiao family, according to Yao Lao, they also have the bloodline of a Dou Di, but he still hasn't seen any practical use for this bloodline.

This is just like what my fellow countrymen on Earth used to say, "I am a descendant of Yan and Huang"—it's completely useless.

Seeing his puzzled look, Elder Yao smiled and patiently explained, "The Yao Clan, a powerful clan that relies on the bloodline of a Dou Di, values ​​bloodline inheritance the most. And the reason why this bloodline is so precious lies in..."

"As long as one can awaken the bloodline of Dou Di, advancing to Dou Zong and Dou Zun will become effortless, with almost no bottlenecks."

"Advancing to Dou Zong and Dou Zun is so easy?" Xiao Yan's pupils shrank, his tone filled with shock.

"The bloodline of a Dou Di is this powerful?"

The old man nodded, a hint of melancholy in his voice: "If I had been able to awaken the bloodline of the Dou Di back then, no matter how powerful Yao Wangui was, no one would have dared to allow him to expel me from the clan."

He could see Xiao Yan's confusion, and then explained:

"As for the Xiao family—although they are also descendants of the Dou Di bloodline, their bloodline power has long been exhausted, and there is no possibility that they will awaken again."

At this point, the old doctor changed the subject again.

"But this is not absolute. Once a new Dou Di is born in the clan, the bloodline power of this new Dou Di will cover the entire clan's inheritance."

"At that time, the closer a person is to the Dou Di by blood, the stronger the power boost they will receive. Even a child who can't even walk will not find it difficult to break through to the Seven-Star or Eight-Star Dou Sheng level."

"Even a child can break through to the eighth-star Dou Sheng realm directly?"

"This—how is this possible—"

Xiao Yan was completely stunned, repeating the words unconsciously, his heart filled with disbelief.

"The power of the Dou Di bloodline is actually this terrifying?"

"Haha! This is just the tip of the iceberg! No wonder the bloodline of the Dou Di is so highly valued by ancient races," Yao Lao laughed heartily at his shocked expression, his tone full of delight.

"If I can truly break through to the Dou Di level, then I will be the new source of the Dou Di bloodline of the Medicine Clan."

"At that time, even if I don't want to go back, the current patriarch of the Medicine Clan, Yao Dan, and that beast Yao Wangui, will have to respectfully serve my parents and me, kowtowing to us day and night!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood why his teacher was so determined to help him break through to the Dou Di realm.

This is just like in ancient times on Earth before he traveled through time. In a large family, if someone was granted the title of king or marquis, they could establish a separate family tree, glorify the family, and the branch would become the main lineage.

If it is not the emperor, even if it is the emperor's elder, one must kneel and pay respects when meeting the emperor.

Moreover, this is especially true for the Dou Qi Continent, where a Dou Di can rewrite the fate of an entire race based on bloodline.

That was practically the "living ancestor" of the clan!

No matter how high Yao Dan's seniority or how long he has lived, even if he were truly Yao Lao's ancestor, he would still have to obediently kneel down and kowtow to his teacher, who is a Dou Di, and treat his teacher as an ancestor.

"Haha! Little Yanzi, I can't help but laugh when I think about that beast Yao Wangui leading a bunch of Yao clan members to kneel and kowtow to my parents!"

The old doctor couldn't help but sigh as he spoke of this.

At the same time, Xiao Yan changed the subject.

"Teacher, now that you've completed your breakthrough and my matter is settled, shouldn't we settle some old scores with my 'good senior brother'?"

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the smile on Yao Lao's face vanished instantly, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

"Han Feng." He uttered these two words, his voice carrying a chilling pain in it.

Han Feng is the most painful scar of his life. Back then, he taught this orphan everything he knew and raised him as his own child, only to be betrayed in return.

If it weren't for a wisp of his soul remaining in the storage ring, he would have long since vanished from the Dou Qi Continent.

"You've reminded me," the old apothecary said in a low voice.

Xiao Yan also saw a hint of sadness in Yao Lao's eyes, but said:

"That wretched boy has been causing trouble in the Black Corner Region for years. Relying on the alchemy skills he learned from you, teacher, he has been living a carefree life for quite some time. Now it's time for him to pay the price."

"But don't worry, teacher, we don't need you to do anything to deal with him." Xiao Yan said, his fingertips already faintly radiating the warmth of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"Then it's up to you—"

A complex look flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. He could tell that Xiao Yan made this request because he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He really didn't want to kill this disciple he had once treated like his own child, so it was best for Xiao Yan to handle it.

However, the tone of their conversation showed that they didn't care about Medicine King Han Feng at all.

After all, even for Xiao Yan, his cheap "senior brother" Han Feng's strength was completely inadequate. Even with a different kind of fire, he was only a Dou Huang.

For Xiao Yan, killing Han Feng was no different from crushing an ant.
