After returning to his room, Xiao Yan couldn't help but exhale a foul breath.
"What's wrong? I haven't had enough chat with them yet. Do you want me to go find someone else and have a good chat with you?"
"Okay."
"Okay, you big-headed ghost."
The thick white mist finally gathered into the figure of Yao Lao. He knocked Xiao Yan on the forehead angrily, causing Xiao Yan to cover his head in pain.
"My girl said it herself, during this period of time, you should refine your medicine and cultivate your cultivation. This is not a time for you to relax and enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to prepare you for your meteoric rise in the future."
Xiao Yan doesn't understand what the teacher and Wan Guniang mean. It's just that teenagers are rebellious after all. Even if they know what is right and what is wrong, they will inevitably complain.
"Yes - I understand - teacher -"
Xiao Yan said reluctantly in a long tone.
"You brat, do you really think that after conquering Heavenly Flames, you will be invincible and stunningly beautiful?"
Yao Lao said, "There are still too many geniuses in the world. If you have this mentality, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."
"Genius, no matter how talented you are, can you have Wan Guniang genius?"
"Well... even if there is this, it's not much."
"That's right, then I'll just target Wan Guniang."
With that said, Xiao Yan, who was originally not interested in refining medicine, suddenly felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He then took out a few medicinal herbs and the Medicine Cauldron Yao Lao had prepared for him in his room.
Seeing Xiao Yan's 180-degree attitude change in just a few sentences, Yao Lao was immediately speechless.
I really don't know whether this brat should be said to be unmotivated or simply careless.
"... Teacher, I still have some of the medicinal materials Wan Guniang gave me on hand, but the one hundred thousand Gold Coins has been used for so long and is about to bottom out."
"Well, the medicinal materials that girl gave you are not cheap. If you just take them out and sell them at a low price, even if you are at a loss, I am afraid that you will be easily noticed by others if you have such medicinal materials."
Yao Lao said, "By the way, did I leave two bottles of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid I refined for you unused?"
"Oh, the teacher wants me to take these two bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid to Mittel Auction House for auction?"
Xiao Yan is so smart. Yao Lao knows the pros and cons with a little guidance.
"Well, I guess I can make some money by hiding my identity a little, pretending to be an alchemist, and selling these two bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid."
"But what do you mean by pretending to be an alchemist? Am I not already an alchemist now, Master?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but complained, but as soon as he finished speaking, Yao Lao spat in his face.
"Can you be called an alchemist at your level?"
Yao Lao said, "As for the medicine refining skills of a three-legged cat like you, First Grade Pill has not even refined it. The first time you refined medicine, it was still the same thing... you are still an alchemist."
Faced with Yao Lao's extremely sharp and irrefutable sarcasm, Xiao Yan coughed, feeling a little embarrassed for what he said.
"Forget it, there's no point in talking about it."
Yao Lao stroked his sleeves and said, "But why bother with the near and far? That girl has always asked you to give you whatever she wants, but it's just Gold Coins. It's not like the girl can't get it."
Yao Lao was certainly right, but Xiao Yan still shook his head slightly to express his rejection.
Although it does feel good to eat soft rice, Xiao Yan is not the kind of person who is used to eating soft rice. If possible, he naturally hopes to obtain resources through his own efforts.
"Teacher... just think of it as my boring pride."
Xiao Yan smiled, of course he knew that whatever Wan Guniang said and gave was for his own good, but a man can't always hide behind a woman and grow up slowly, right?
Yao Lao has no objection to Xiao Yan's statement and ideas. On the contrary, he is quite satisfied.
Although there are girls protecting Xiao Yan now, if Xiao Yan has been living under the protective umbrella of Yao Wan, I am afraid that in the end they will be just flowers in the greenhouse. Even if they are protected during their growth, facing the violent storms in the future will still add a bit of danger.
Yao Lao was different from Xiao Yan. He knew the girl's identity and future from beginning to end, and he also knew that it was impossible for this girl to stay with Xiao Yan forever.
Therefore, it would be a good choice to let him learn to leave the asylum on his own.
"That's fine too."
Yao Lao nodded, showing a teachable expression.
"It's good that you have such thoughts."
"Well, I won't let you down, teacher."
Xiao Yan smiled, then exhaled a breath, mobilizing the Dou Qi in his body, and two streams of Deep Purple Flames spurted out from his fingertips, coiling like snakes under Medicine Cauldron.
Then, Xiao Yan waved his hand and threw the medicinal materials at hand into Medicine Cauldron.
It felt completely different from the first time he made medicine. Xiao Yan, who used Heavenly Flames to make medicine for the first time, felt very clearly that under the high temperature of the poisonous fire, Medicinal Property was extracted at a faster speed, and the poison and impurities hidden in it were burned out by the poisonous fire at a speed visible to the naked eye and then absorbed.
Even Xiao Yan's calm mind couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy.
Is this Heavenly Flames? Even though he is not yet proficient in using this flame, the speed of refining Medicinal Property with Heavenly Flames is more than ten times faster than when he used the Dou Qi flame to refine Medicinal Property.
It's even a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Yan, who was ecstatic in his heart, couldn't help but subconsciously increase the power of Heavenly Flames, as if he wanted to see the limit of what he could reach to control Heavenly Flames.
"Xiao Yan, concentrate!"
However, Yao Lao gave a loud drink and immediately stopped Xiao Yan's reckless behavior.
"... Teacher? What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan was stunned and couldn't help asking.
"Control your Heavenly Flames! Heavenly Flames is a violent thing in the world. Even if you successfully refine Heavenly Flames, the destructive nature of it cannot be eradicated. You must remember this no matter what!"
Yao Lao's voice is extremely serious and solemn, and there is no room for Xiao Yan to be careless.
"... I understand, teacher."
Xiao Yan calmed down and immediately calmed down. The Netherworld Poison Flame released in his hands gradually weakened and returned to normal levels.
"Well, the existence of Flame Mantra allows you to use Heavenly Flames more skillfully, but this is not the limit you can reach today."
"Your ability to control Heavenly Flames depends on your Soul Power. You were born with a powerful Soul Power, but you don't want to be self-confident and self-inflicted."
Xiao Yan also somewhat realized where he had gone wrong in being a little reckless just now, and nodded slightly.
