“Yan’er, you…when did you learn alchemy!” Xiao Zhan became more and more unable to see through his child.
He had always known that Xiao Yan was a genius, but that was a genius in cultivation but from today’s situation, his son was actually also an alchemist?!!
Xiao Yu wide-eyed staring at Xiao Yan, there were also alchemists in Jianan Academy. Previously, she also tried to ask them for pills. In Jianan Academy they were an extremely rare existence, furthermore, every single one of them was extremely arrogant with their eyes above their head.
She never thought that Xiao Yan was actually an alchemist. Furthermore, looking from his proficiency, he did not become an alchemist recently.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and modestly said: “Dad, I’m sorry for not telling you about it. I thought to tell you after I am more proficient.”
Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan’s head and said: “Stupid kid, how could dad blame you.”
The whole auction was disrupted by Xiao Yan’s public-display of pill refinement. The rest of the people were no longer in the mood to bid for the rest of the items. This was because the various powers in Wutan city understood that the sky of Wutan city was about to change and they should prepare themselves.
Quickly cut off the relationship with Jialie clan and Aoba clan.
After Liu Xi saw Jialie Bi and Aoba Pa’s ashen faces, he also quietly left the auction house.
No matter how stupid he was, he also understood that the two clans were finished. He was just the lowest level 1st grade alchemist. It was impossible for him to help the two clans refine pills for free. Since these two clans no longer had any value, he also no longer needed to stay here anymore.
“How unfortunate that I did not get that girl.”
Xiao Yan’s soul power was strong, he could sense that Liu Xi had quietly left the auction house and commanded: “Great elder, second elder, please prepare an ambush at the city gate and bring back Liu Xi’s head.”
Hearing Xiao Yan’s words, Xiao Ning and the rest of the younger generations gulped. Xiao Yan’s tone was filled with killing intent. Many people knew when Liu Xi had harassed Xun’er that day and thought that since he had escaped, Xiao Yan had forgotten about it. They never thought that he was still holding a grudge!
After considering for a while, the great elder and second elder nodded their heads. Although the risk of killing the disciple of a 4th grade alchemist was quite big, however, after a moment of consideration, in the future Xiao Yan might become a 4th grade alchemist. Furthermore, they had offended Liu Xi, thus, there was no longer any need for reconciliation.
“Dad, you should go back first, I will go back after I paid the money for the furnace. I will leave the rest of the matter to dad and the elders.” Xiao Yan had also seen that the auction could no longer be continued, so he smiled while walking towards the VIP room.
Inside the VIP room, Xiao Yan sat on the sofa and casually picked a fruit and bit into it. After a few bites, Ya Fei and master Guni moved towards Xiao Yan and sat in front of him.
“Xiao Yan, what a good kid you are, how could you do this to sister? My auction was ruined by you!” Ya Fei acted as if she were angry but her eyes had a hint of charm and coquettishness.
Xiao Yan waved his hands and said helplessly: “How could I know this would happen, master Guni had obviously refined pills in front of everyone before.”
Guni, who was by the side, smiled wryly, the difference in meaning for him to refine pills and for Xiao Yan to refine pills were very different.
Ya Fei asked: “Little brother Xiao Yan, I’ll get straight to the point. According to the test, the blood coagulating powder you just refined has the effect of a mid-level 1st grade pill. It is better than the regenerating powder made by Liu Xi. In addition to the proficiency of your refinement, you are at least a high-level 1st grade alchemist. It is even one that has reached the peak and is preparing to advance to 2nd grade.”
“Do you have any plans to join the Miteer auction house? Of course, I meant the one in the headquarters. We can give you the best guidance and provide ingredients for you to train with.”
Ya Fei immediately gave Xiao Yan an olive branch and invited Xiao Yan to join Miteer auction house.
Xiao Yan’s talent had given Ya Fei too much surprise. She was now 90% sure that three bottles of foundation-building spiritual liquid were refined by Xiao Yan.
It was actually possible for 1st grade alchemists to refine 2nd grade pills. Alchemists that had reached the peak of its current grade and wanted to advance would obviously start to refine higher grade pills.
It’s just that to become a 2nd grade alchemist, it would not just look at whether he/she was able to refine a 2nd grade pill. They needed to have a certain success rate and they needed to pass the test in the alchemist guild.
Although Ya Fei could still provide a better condition, provide higher level pill recipes, and even let high-grade alchemists guide him, she knew that Xiao Yan had probably obtained an alchemist’s inheritance or perhaps he already had a strong master behind him.
Otherwise, with a pill recipe, no matter how talented he was, it would be impossible for him to refine foundation-building spiritual liquid.
Ya Fei took out a storage ring and gave it to Xiao Yan while saying: “My training will be finished soon and will return to the capital. Take this furnace and the ingredients inside the ring as my gift for you. In the future, when you have become powerful, come to the capital to visit sister.”
Xiao Yan received the still-warm storage ring and nodded his head while saying: “How can I forget? Sister Ya Fei is so pretty that even fish sinks and geese fall, while the moon and flowers close in shyness. Even if I want to forget, it would be difficult.”
“How glib.”
Looking at Xiao Yan leaving, Ya Fei’s jade hand held her chin and murmured to herself: “He is actually still fifteen years old.”
Master Guni lightly coughed twice and said: “Miss, I feel that age is not a problem.”
Ya Fei’s face quickly turned red as she recalled the words that she said a few months ago and blushing shyly spoke: “What are you thinking! I am quite a few years older than him! He is still a little kid!”
“A wife older by three years than the husband ensures a richer life.”
The next things became much simpler. Market created through the cooperation of Jialie clan and Aoba clan immediately closed down on that very day. This was because countless store tenants had let go of their deposit, closed the store and left. They immediately moved to Xiao clan market to rent their store.
While the Jialie clan and Aoba clan were only busy with one thing which was to look for the several big medicine merchants and Miteer auction house to cancel the contract. The result was as expected, the several big medicine merchants formed a group and went towards the city lord mansion to file a lawsuit. If Jialie clan and Aoba clan could not fulfill the contract, then it would be done according to the contract which was to give a huge money compensation and the mortgaged assets were confiscated as stated in the contract.
Since the two big clans did not have sufficient money, they had mortgaged many of their assets. In the end, the Xiao clan bought more than half of the two big clan’s assets from the several big medicine merchants and Ya Fei’s hands with a low price without spending any effort.
From that moment on, in Wutan city there was only the Xiao clan.
As for Liu Xi, in the end, he was killed by the great elder and second elder. His corpse was brought to the Xiao clan and was burnt to ash by Xiao Yan.
Three days later, inside a cave, Xiao Yan continued to absorb the energy released by the Bone Chilling Flame and finally became a 7-star Dou practitioner.
Xiao Yan looked at the Bone Chilling Flame floating in the air. He did not show any happy expression for the successful breakthrough. Instead, he was showing a sad face.
“The cultivation speed had decreased.”
After reaching 7-star, Xiao Yan could feel that his cultivation speed had slowed down. Xiao Yan could now approach the Bone Chilling Flame very closely. However, the amount of energy released by the Bone Chilling Flame was limited. After reaching 7-star, the amount of energy required became much higher. As a result, his speed of cultivation slowed down.
The only way to increase the speed of cultivation would be pills. However, Xiao Yan did not have the support of high-grade pills. After all, Wutan city was a remote city. The highest alchemist in this city was himself.
“Heavenly flames…if I want to increase my cultivation, the best method is not to ingest pills but to absorb heavenly flames.”
Xiao Yan took out an old book, the cover was written with three big red words: Heavenly flame list!
This old book recorded in detail all the heavenly flames in Dou qi continent. In total, there were 23 types.
Bone Chilling Flame was ranked in the middle, it was ranked 11th.
