Xiao Tian took out a few pills and put them into her mouth.
Zi Yan swallowed the pills, chewed on them, and thoughtfully felt them. "You are not talking about these, are you? But yours are indeed different from before; they have an unfamiliar sweet taste. Delicious."
Zi Yan said with her eyebrows curved as she ate.
As for Xiao Tian's lectures, she would forget them as soon as the sun rose—no, as soon as the pills reached her mouth. She would still be the world's number one Zi Yan.
"Hmph!!" Zi Yan crossed her arms, looking arrogant, enjoying Xiao Tian's gentleness.
After cleaning up, Xiao Tian said to Zi Yan, "We are currently in the Central Region Southern Domain, and the Beast Region is to the south of the Southern Region. Now that you have come out of seclusion, do you want to go out?"
Zi Yan naturally understood what Xiao Tian meant by 'go out.' Xiao Tian had told her before that as long as she appeared in the Central Province, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan would have something that could detect her and track her down.
"I want to go out!" Zi Yan nodded seriously. She had made this decision long ago. Although she was reluctant to leave everyone, she believed that after returning to her clan and undergoing proper training, she would be able to help Xiao Tian and everyone. Perhaps she could also find the real reason for her growth.
She was truly fed up with this small body.
"Alright, then we will go out tomorrow. The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back," Xiao Tian said softly, stroking Zi Yan's purple hair.
Zi Yan nodded heavily.
The two sat under the tree, talking softly, while Hu Jia and Han Xue also came over. Han Xue, using the social skills and experiences she had gained from her time in the caravan, quickly became good friends with Zi Yan.
Under the peach tree, there was an effect of clearing the mind, which could, to a certain extent, dispel mental fatigue.
After talking for a while, the four quietly sat cross-legged under the peach tree and began to cultivate. In the evening, Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng, who had gone out to play, returned, holding Xiao Ze.
The Little Fairy Doctor and Han Yue, who were handling affairs for the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace, also returned. The others were still in seclusion and had not come out.
The girls were also very happy to see Zi Yan. The Little Fairy Doctor touched Zi Yan's head and smiled, "Zi Yan, you have finally come out of seclusion! I did not expect you to reach the mid-sixth rank. That is amazing!"
Zi Yan's mid-sixth rank strength meant she had no problem fighting a peak Dou Huang, and could even contend with a Dou Zong. If she underwent proper training from the Void Ancient Dragon, her ability to fight across ranks would become even stronger, at least several times over.
The Void Ancient Dragon's greatest strengths were the use of space and their physical body strength. Currently, Zi Yan's application of physical strength was akin to only knowing how to use brute force.
"Of course! I have been cultivating very hard, and it has been exhausting and boring during this time," Zi Yan said, feigning a look of hardship.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian almost burst out laughing. The first part was not important; the latter part about being bored was her true thought.
He had been observing Zi Yan's cultivation method all along, which basically involved eating a pile of pills, then forming a cocoon and falling asleep.
The girls chatted intimately under the tree, and for a while, the entire area under the peach tree felt exceptionally warm. Meanwhile, Xiao Tian was guiding Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng in cultivating the Taiyin Soul Refining Art, being particularly strict with Xiao Ling.
This was because Xiao Ling had Alchemist talent, and soul power was even more important for an Alchemist.
Xiao Ze, on the other hand, lay in his crib, playing with his toys, occasionally looking at his mother and the others, and occasionally glancing at his father and sisters. Especially when he saw his sister being lectured, he let out bursts of clear laughter.
Hearing Xiao Ze's laughter, Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng secretly thought, *How dare he laugh at his sister? As expected, beating up little brothers should be done early!*
The young Xiao Ze did not know the seriousness of being targeted at this moment and was still laughing happily.
Now that everyone knew the effects of this peach tree and Xiao Tian's emphasis on the importance of the soul, they basically spent some time every day cultivating their souls under the tree.
Xiao Tian was never stingy with his women. He had long ago taught them the Taiyin Soul Refining Art, allowing them to cultivate their soul power.
Among them, Medusa had the strongest soul power, perhaps because she had experienced two companion soul enhancements, which increased her soul power.

"Is this the Central Province?" Zi Yan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable curiosity, her nostrils slightly flaring as she constantly inhaled the surrounding air, as if wanting to absorb all the aura of the Central Province.
"As expected of the Central Province, the energy of heaven and earth is several times richer than in the Black-Corner Region. No wonder so many people want to flock to the Central Province."
The two were currently standing not far from where Xiao Tian had previously killed Old Freak Zhaixing.
"That is true, and the resources in the Central Province are much more abundant than in the Northwest Continent. There are even many strong practitioners' relics and ancient ruins."
"Relics? Does that not mean there are a lot of medicinal ingredients? Slurp~" Upon hearing about resources and relics, Zi Yan immediately thought of medicinal ingredients, pushing everything else aside.
Seeing Zi Yan's obsession with medicinal ingredients, he recalled how Zi Yan had made Xiong Zhan collect most of the medicinal ingredients in the Pill Realm.
"I always feel like you are making fun of me!!" Zi Yan looked up at Xiao Tian and asked suspiciously.
"I did not, I am not, do not talk nonsense!" Xiao Tian immediately denied it three times.
Seeing Xiao Tian's reaction, Zi Yan was one hundred percent certain.
She could not help but jump onto him and grab his face.
While Xiao Tian and Zi Yan were playfully bickering, in an endless void in the southernmost part of the Central Region Southern Domain.
