Medicine Elder: My Surname Is Yao, and You Say I Can't Refine Medicine?

Guni was only pleased that Chen Yang had concealed his rank as an Alchemist.

Moreover, Teacher had been the first person to tell him this secret, which meant his place in Teacher's heart was unparalleled.

"Tsk, tsk. I accidentally latched onto a young Fourth-grade Alchemist. I, Guni, may well go down in history in the Jia Ma Empire!!!"

Humming a cheerful tune, Guni made his way to the warehouse and took all the medicinal materials Chen Yang needed for the Qi Gathering Powder!

The warehouse keeper, who was not an Alchemist, naturally had no idea that the materials Master Guni had taken were for refining Qi Gathering Powder. He merely respectfully sorted and prepared the medicinal materials!

While Guni was off preparing the medicinal materials, Chen Yang received his third visitor of the morning.

"Brother Yang!"

Xiao Yan was still dressed in the same black fitted outfit as yesterday.

"You're here!"

Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and nodded, then waved his hand and placed five bottles of Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid, one Body Tempering Pill, and a sheet of paper on the tabletop.

"Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid, fifty thousand gold coins per bottle. Body Tempering Pill, twenty thousand gold coins per pill!"

"Find a batch of the medicinal materials listed on this paper yourself. They're prepared for your father, Xiao Zhan. If you're lucky, your father can become a Nine-star Great Dou Shi within two months!"

Pointing at the medicinal pills and medicinal material list on the tabletop, Chen Yang spoke.

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Xiao Yan did not say much. He picked up one of the medicine bottles from the tabletop, opened it, and sniffed it. In truth, he was letting Medicine Elder identify it.

"Damn!"

"This spiritual liquid?"

"This spiritual liquid..."

Medicine Elder's shocked voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.

What is it, Teacher?

Xiao Yan asked in his mind, puzzled.

"I'll tell you after we get back!"

"It seems this kid's background is anything but simple!"

Medicine Elder was full of emotion. He had no sense of smell, but through Xiao Yan's sense of smell, he could roughly analyze the effects of the Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid.

It seemed the things he had told Xiao Yan before were about to come back and slap him in the face!

"This Body Tempering Pill should be taken before practicing Dou Techniques. It will strengthen your physique. If you can get beaten up while practicing your Dou Techniques, the effect will be even better!"

"After you finish practicing your Dou Techniques, or after you finish getting beaten up, add three drops of the Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid to a bath barrel and soak in it. With your talent, if all goes smoothly, reaching the ninth stage of Dou Qi within half a year should not be a problem!" Chen Yang said with a smile, pointing at the two kinds of medicinal pills.

"Half a year?"

"Ninth stage of Dou Qi?"

Xiao Yan was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

Teacher had previously told him that even with his help, reaching the seventh stage of Dou Qi within one year would be difficult. Now he could reach the ninth stage in half a year?

"Of course, that is assuming you have enough Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid and Body Tempering Pills!"

"Also, if you want to reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi within half a year while keeping your foundation stable, you must get beaten up—and beaten up hard. Are you sure you can take it?"

Training the future Yan Di was pretty fun. Chen Yang now desperately wanted something that could record images, but there seemed to be no such thing on the Dou Qi Continent!

If it comes down to it, I can just find an amazing painter and have him paint pictures of Yan Di getting beaten up!

Chen Yang muttered to himself.

"I have no problem with it!"

"With the gold coins Nalan Yanran donated, it should be enough to support my training for the next half year!"

"Besides, once Nalan Yanran's medicinal pills and cultivation method arrive, my family can help pay for some of it too!"

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his gradually maturing face filled with determination.

"Whether you can persist is your business!"

"This is a fair transaction between us. I'm only forming some good karma with you because you have talent!"

Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Brother Yang, Xiao Yan will never forget the kindness you have shown him in this lifetime!"

"Xiao Yan understands your goodwill as well!"

"If these medicinal pills were put up for auction, they would definitely fetch a much higher price!"

"I..."

Xiao Yan's voice was slightly choked.

Chen Yang had made it sound casual, and the medicinal pills were not cheap either, but the question remained: under the same conditions, why should he, Xiao Yan, receive priority?

"Hahaha..."

"Go back and train properly!"

"Gather those medicinal materials carefully, then bring them to Mittel once you have them all!"

Chen Yang waved his hand at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

"Then Xiao Yan will take his leave. Brother Yang, please carry on with your work!"

Xiao Yan bowed to Chen Yang, tucked the medicinal pills and medicinal material list into his robes, and walked out.

He planned to buy a Storage Ring from Ya Fei first. It was not very convenient carrying the medicinal pills like this!

After buying a Storage Ring, Xiao Yan ran all the way back to the Xiao Family, panting heavily.

"Huff... Teacher!"

"How do the medicinal pills Brother Yang refined compare to yours?"

Xiao Yan said proudly, his young face beaming.

"Tsk..."

"There's something strange about that kid Chen Yang!"

"This Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid has much the same effect as my Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid. Although I can't tell exactly what medicinal materials were used, its effects are at least ten times stronger than my Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid!"

"This Body Tempering Pill is also exquisite. If you keep taking it during the Dou Qi stage, when you condense your Dou Qi Cyclone, you may be able to succeed in one go without even using Qi Gathering Powder!"

"Moreover, it will be of tremendous benefit to your Dou Technique training, your physical strength, and the stability of your foundation!"

"Tsk..."

"Just how did the person who invented these two medicinal pills come up with them? Amazing... truly amazing!"

"I even want to sit down and discuss it with him properly!"

Medicine Elder was full of emotion.

"Teacher, just admit it. Are you convinced now?"

"Didn't you say before that no one was better than you at refining pills for building a foundation? You got slapped in the face now, didn't you?"

"Even something a mere eighteen-year-old Alchemist like Brother Yang casually took out shocked you this much!"

"I think you simply don't know how to refine medicine at all, yet you boasted that Gu He was nothing but fart in your eyes..."

"Tsk, tsk!"

Xiao Yan felt that this old man loved to brag.

There was nothing he could do about it. Medicine Elder had absorbed his Dou Qi for three years, and Medicine Elder was no longer his only lifeline, so that resentment was still there.

Of course, he was only mocking Medicine Elder a little. His future training would still mainly depend on Medicine Elder.

"Heh!"

"My surname is Yao, and you say I can't refine medicine?"

"You little brat, just wait. After you take this Body Tempering Pill, won't you need to get beaten up?"

"Just watch how I beat you!"

Medicine Elder had decided to use his position for personal revenge, yet he made it sound perfectly justified.

"Bring it on!"

"If I'm afraid of you, I'm your son!"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

Medicine Elder said, "There are plenty of people on the Dou Qi Continent who want to be my son. You brat will have to get in line!"

Xiao Yan said, "Keep bragging!"

Medicine Elder said, "Just wait, brat. Sooner or later, I'll prove it to you!"

Xiao Yan said, "I'm afraid you'll croak before that day comes!"

"..."

The master and disciple continued bickering endlessly in the room, while Xiao Yong also received the medicinal pills Chen Yang had gifted him.

"Mr. Xiao Yong, please rest assured. Another batch of these medicinal pills will be delivered after some time!"

"You and Miss Xiao Ling should train well. I'll be leaving now!"

After handing the items to Xiao Yong, the Female Dou Shi from yesterday left directly.

Xiao Yong looked at the medicinal pills in his hand, speechless for a long time...
