Chapter 4: Yao Lao Awakens

In Xiao Yan's room, an ordinary-looking young man was meditating and cultivating, and the energy between heaven and earth entered Xiao Yan's body along the pores, just as he was about to break through to the fourth stage of Dou Zhiqi, the light of the ring on his fingers flashed, and the energy he had worked so hard to absorb disappeared, Xiao Yan couldn't help but scold: "I am grass Nima." ”

"Little baby, looks like you need help?"

"Who...... Who's talking?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but look around.

"Don't look for it, I'm in your ring;'s voice came again. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan walked towards the latrine without looking back, and soon came to the pit and took off the ring in his hand, and said to himself: "You come out quickly, or I will throw this ring into the pit." ”

Hearing this, there was no reaction after a long time, and just as Xiao Yan was about to throw the ring down, a white light flashed and an illusory figure appeared in front of him.

Looking at the illusory old man in front of him, Xiao Yan's voice trembled a little and said, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"The old man is an eight-rank medicine refining master, his name is Yao Chen, and the people of the Dou Qi Continent call me the Medicine Venerable. Because he was attacked by the people of the Soul Palace, he escaped with a wisp of remnant soul and lived in the ring. Your mother was passing by and picked up this ring. Later, the ring came to you, because you absorbed the energy from the outside world, so that the old man's soul body unconsciously absorbed this foreign energy, so that the old man could wake up;

"Then the fighting spirit that I have worked hard to cultivate in the past few years has been absorbed by you, do you know how much you plan to compensate me because of how much you have insulted me in the family; Xiao Yan looked at the old man after saying this, knowing in his heart that the old man was a great person, thinking about how to get some benefits from him so as to make up for his losses.

"Do you want to become an alchemist?" asked the medicine elder with interest.

"Think, who in the Douqi Continent doesn't want to be an alchemist?" Suddenly, Xiao Yan came back to his senses and looked at Yao Lao in shock, "You mean that I have the talent to become an alchemist. ”

"That's right, you have the dual attributes of fire and wood, and your soul power is also very strong, if you have the old man's teaching, you can become a senior alchemist in the future, don't you plan to apprentice?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said seductively.

After Xiao Yan heard the words and Yao Lao walked out of the toilet and returned to the room, he immediately knelt down, respectfully bowed to Yao Lao, and said with a smile: "Teacher, see if there is any way for me to break through quickly, I will go to Yunlan Sect to find Nalan Yanran to duel in three years." ”

"Old man, there is a recipe for a medicinal liquid, you go and prepare the medicinal materials, let me help you refine it into the foundation building spirit liquid, drop a drop in the bath bucket every day for you to absorb, or it won't be long before you break through the current realm;

After taking the Danfang Xiao Yan looked at the contents inside, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Teacher, you see that the medicinal materials in this are so precious, I only have 500 gold coins in my hand, and I just only have the money to buy the first-order magic core, and you can see if you can pay for the other medicinal materials to help me buy them." ”

"If you can't even get the money for this medicinal material, don't want to become a strong person in the future, stay in the Xiao family honestly and be your eldest young master;

Watching the teacher enter the Na ring, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, opened the door, and walked towards Xun'er's room.

When he walked to a house with a dragon and a phoenix carved and knocked on the door, Xun'er's voice came from inside, "Who!" After saying this, the door creaked open.

What appeared in front of Xiao Yan was a familiar pretty face, and just as Xun'er wanted to speak, she heard Xiao Yan's voice coming.

"Xun'er, I want to borrow some money from you. Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er and said with some embarrassment, after all, he had never borrowed money from a girl in his previous life, but now he had no choice but to open his mouth to Xun'er in order to buy the foundation building spiritual liquid, and after saying this, his face was a little red and he was at a loss.

"Oh, Brother Xiao Yan will give it to you. Xun'er took out a green card from her body and handed it to Xiao Yan and said, "There are two thousand gold coins in here, it should be enough, right?"

Taking the card from Xun'er's hand, Xiao Yan left in a hurry, and his words came from him before leaving: "Enough, thank you Sister Xun'er." ”

Looking at Xiao Yan's figure as if she was running away, Xun'er couldn't help but burst out laughing, walked into the room, closed the door, and thought to herself that Xiao Yan's brother didn't know what to borrow money for?

Xiao Yan walked along the street towards Xiao Jiafang City, and soon the figure came to the destination this time, looking at the surging flow of people in front of Xiao Jiafang City, Xiao Yan wiped the cold sweat on his head and squeezed it in.

Looking at the various vendors on the street selling items, he walked along the stalls one by one, and when his eyes stopped at a black iron piece on the stall in front of a mercenary man, his eyes shrank, and he stepped forward and quietly picked up the black iron piece, and carefully sensed it, and found that it contained a Xuan-level fighting skill, and then looked at the mercenary man with a smile on his face and asked, "How much does this black iron piece cost?"

"1,000 gold coins, I got them at one of the ruins," said the mercenary man with a strange smile on his face.

Hearing this price, Xiao Yan frowned, if he bought this black iron piece, the money on his body would still be lacking a lot of medicinal materials needed to refine the foundation building spirit liquid, so he had no choice but to put down the black iron piece and walk towards a medicinal herb store in front of him.

When his figure walked into the medicinal herb shop, the clerk immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Is the little young master here to buy medicinal herbs?"

"You prepare two copies of all the medicinal materials on this for me;Xiao Yan handed the prescription in his hand to the clerk.

Looking at the pill in his hand, the clerk quickly went in to grab the medicinal materials, and after a while, he walked over with a few wrapped medicinal materials in his hand and handed them to Xiao Yan and said, "Little master, this is the medicinal materials you need, a total of 1,500 gold coins." ”

Xiao Yan took the medicinal herbs and checked them, but after admitting that they were correct, he took out the green card from his hand and handed it to the clerk.

Taking the green card, the clerk crossed 1,500 gold coins from the card and handed the card to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "Little master, if you need to buy medicinal materials in the future, just come to our store, our store is definitely good and cheap." ”

After Xiao Yan took the card, he left without looking back, stopped in front of a stall and looked at a green magic core, stepped forward to pick up the magic core and looked at the sleepy mercenary man and said, "How much is this magic core?"

500 gold coins, and the mercenary man continued to fall asleep.

Xiao Yan took out the package containing 500 gold coins from the ring and put it in front of Dahan, picked up the first-order demon core and turned around and left.

The mercenary man picked up the package and opened it, counted the number of gold coins inside, put the package away, closed his eyes and continued to fall asleep.

Xiao Yan hurried back to the back mountain of the Xiao family, found a hidden area, and then asked Na Jie: "Teacher, the medicinal materials have been bought, now you can help me refine the foundation building spirit liquid!"

A white light flashed, and the illusory figure of the medicine old appeared in front of Xiao Yan, took the medicinal materials from his hand, took out a quaint medicine tripod, and threw the water attribute magic core into the medicine tripod, and then put all the medicinal materials into the medicine tripod, and a white flame appeared in his hand at the same time, and then the soul power was activated, and the flame gradually became stronger, and it didn't take long to spread to the medicine tripod in front of him, with the passage of time, the medicinal materials inside slowly fused together, forming a viscous green substance, and as time gradually passed, some gray-black impurities gradually floated out of the green substance, The water-attribute magic core gradually melted and merged with the green liquid medicine after the calcination of time, and soon a ball of jade-colored liquid medicine appeared in it, Yao Lao slapped the medicine tripod with his hand, only to see the lid on it fly open, and two groups of jade-colored liquid medicine floated out, Yao Lao took out two jade bottles from the ring, and with a move, put the medicine liquid into the jade bottle, and then looked at Xiao Yan After throwing the medicine bottle to him, his body turned into a phantom and drilled into Xiao Yan's ring.

Looking at the liquid medicine in his hand, Xiao Yan showed an excited smile on his face, and hurriedly left the back mountain, walking towards the Mitre auction house, when he passed by a remote corner, changed into a black cloak, and his figure was covered by the black cloak, and then after a few turns in the street, he finally saw the Mitre auction house, looking at the two guards at the door with a pair of vigilant eyes looking around at the passing mercenaries, Xiao Yan kept walking straight into the Mitre auction house.

When he walked in, he saw an exquisite house with three big characters on it, he stepped forward and pushed open the door, a middle-aged man looked at him in astonishment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Is Mr. here to identify treasures?"

A dry voice came from under the black robe, and Xiao Yan stepped forward and put the jade bottle in his hand on the table.

The middle-aged man picked up the jade bottle and put it between his nose, sniffed it lightly, and then looked at Xiao Yan's gaze with a touch of awe: "Your Excellency is an alchemist?"

"Hmm. A dry voice continued to come from under the black robe.

"What kind of potion is in this?" the middle-aged man asked.

"The foundation building spiritual liquid can allow the fighter below to increase the cultivation speed. ”

"My lord, please wait a moment, I will go and invite Master Gu Ni from our auction hall to come over, and the middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan after speaking.

"Well, hurry up, I'm in a hurry," Xiao Yan said.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked outside.

Half an hour later, an old man came in.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the old man in front of him, his eyes stayed on the second-grade alchemist badge on his chest, his eyebrows raised, and then he looked away without a trace.

The middle-aged man respectfully introduced: "This is Master Gu Ni from our Mitre Auction House, he is a three-star master and a second-grade alchemist. ”

Gu Ni nodded at the middle-aged man, then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "My lord, is this bottle of foundation building spirit liquid going to be auctioned at the Mitre Auction House, or are you going to let the Mitre Auction House buy it?"

"I'd better put this bottle of foundation building spirit liquid at your place for auction," Xiao Yan finished and looked at Gu Ni.

"Okay, my lord, we will hold a large-scale auction in the auction house in two days, and at that time, the adult's bottle of liquid medicine will also be auctioned, and the adult can also participate;Gu Ni took out a crystal card and handed it to Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "This is a VIP card, as long as the adult holds this card, you can enjoy the VIP treatment, and in the future, if you auction it at any branch of the Mitre Auction House, you can reduce the tax rate of the auction items from five percent to two percent." ”

Xiao Yan took the card, nodded to Gu Ni, and then walked out of the Mitre auction hall.

Xiao Yan went straight back to his room and asked the ring in his hand, "Teacher, do you know what kind of strength that Lin Xuan who lives in my house is?"

A white light flashed, and a transparent figure with a slightly old face appeared in front of Xiao Yan, and the old man's dry voice came from the room, "The old man has used his soul power to probe his cultivation, if the old man sees it correctly, that kid should have the strength of a nine-star great fighter." ”

"Teacher, you mean that you can't be sure that he has the strength of a nine-star great fighter;Xiao Yan was a little dissatisfied with this answer, and couldn't help asking.

"It's not 100% certain, the old man's current soul power can only exert the strength of the Douhuang, if his strength is above me and deliberately disguised, it is easy to hide the old man's soul perception, but seeing that his age is not more than 20 years old, unless it is those ancient families in Zhongzhou, it will definitely not be able to cultivate such a genius, and the probability is almost negligible;

"That's good, then he can break through to the realm of a nine-star great dou master at this age, and his cultivation talent is still above mine;Xiao Yan said this and looked at Yao Lao hoping to get his help.

"Don't worry, with the help of the old man, your future achievements will definitely be above him;" said Yao Lao quite confidently.
