Yan Xiao, Lan Na?
As for why there was an urgent need to increase strength, it was because when he visited the Xiao Family before, he was frightened by someone his own age, and his strong-willed personality would never allow that.
Therefore, he was always thinking about improving his strength.
That's why he begged his teacher to take him on a training trip. He also prepared a lot of things in advance. In order to conceal his identity and avoid being targeted, he also asked Pill King Gu He for a lot of pills for disguise and aura conversion.
He had his own teacher guide him through the trials in the Monster Mountain Range, but when Yun Yun left to search for the whereabouts of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he also chose to go out and train on his own.
During a battle with a monster one day, he revealed his powerful Dou Technique and was targeted by some mercenaries. When his Dou Qi was almost depleted after defeating the monster, he was surrounded by the mercenaries. Although he eventually escaped, he was seriously injured.
Later, on her escape route, she was rescued by a man, and during the treatment, Nalan Yanran's body was completely exposed.
But she knew it was something she had to do to save herself. The two spent several days together afterward, getting to know each other and learning each other's names.
Yan Xiao, Lan Na.
After recovering from their injuries, the two traveled together for a short distance, during which a deep friendship developed between them.
Scenes from the past keep flashing through my mind.
"Yan Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you here. Is it fate?"
"But you don't recognize me now, while I recognize you. I didn't realize you were such a gentleman. It seems you really had no choice but to do that to save me."
"Even with my real appearance being so beautiful, you don't show any interest. I didn't expect you to possess Heavenly Flames. No wonder you're so arrogant."
Nalan Yanran watched the departing figure, murmured softly, and a smile appeared on her face.
"If you thought you knew I was Lan Na, someone you used to know, I wonder how you would feel."
Aside:
Xiao Yan: I'll just split open. I'm really grateful.
If Xiao Tian knew about these two's actions, he would definitely be stunned by their shock.
As expected of two people Marriage Contract since childhood, they even have such a perfect match when it comes to naming their children.
Xiao Yan Xiao, Nalan Lan Na.
This younger brother is even better at having fun than I am.
Oh, you're asking Yao Lao didn't notice?
As for whether the Yao Lao discovered it or not, you can guess for yourselves, hehehe.
"Yanran, what's wrong with you?" Nalan Su came to Nalan Yanran's Nalan Yanran, looking at her strange expression and asking. He hadn't seen such a genuine smile on his daughter's face for a long time.
"Nothing, just thinking about some things."
Nalan Yanran smiled gently, without revealing what she was thinking.
"Grandpa is finally saved!"
Nalan Yanran didn't want Nalan Su to ask too many questions, so she changed the subject.
"Yes, we thought all hope was lost, but unexpectedly, a person with Heavenly Flames actually appeared. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
Nalan Su understood Nalan Yanran's thoughts, and thus went along with what she was saying.
"That might not be because God gave us free shipping; maybe it's just fate."
Nalan Yanran thought to herself.
"I really don't know who the teacher of these two fellow disciples is, that he could teach two such gifted Alchemist."
"To possess Heavenly Flames at such a young age, even the Pill King Gu He might not be able to match his future achievements."
Nalan Su sighed, "With two disciples like these, their master must be no ordinary person either."
"Yes, Alchemist possess Heavenly Flames have limitless potential."
"Jiang Feng gave me a strong sense of pressure and crisis; my intuition told me he was a very dangerous person."
"These two might be fake Alchemist, or even more skilled. Judging by Yan Xiao's control abilities, he's at least Third Grade Alchemist."
Nalan Su was deeply shocked by his daughter's words.
"Daughter, how did your conversation with them go?"
"Old man who's not serious"
Nalan Yanran glanced speechlessly at her elderly father and walked towards the gate.
After leaving the Nalan Family, Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan arrived directly in front of a massive building shrouded in the smoke of incense. Above the building's entrance, five large characters were written in a flamboyant style: Alchemist Guild.
Xiao Yan looked up at the imposing building. Among the people coming and going at the entrance were mostly Alchemist rarely seen in the empire. Xiao Yan sighed, "No wonder it is the holy land of Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire."
"After all, the people living in this building possess an energy that can shake even the imperial Imperial Family. Even members of the Imperial Family have to show them respect when they come here."
"Tian Ge, are you also participating in the Alchemist Convention?"
"Me? I'll see what the reward is first. If it's good, I might as well participate. What about you?"
Although Xiao Tian knew what the rewards for the conference were, he wasn't sure if his arrival would change them.
"My teacher encouraged me to participate, saying that attending different Alchemist Convention would allow me to learn a lot of valuable experience and discover my own shortcomings."
"Constantly working in isolation will only lead to mediocrity."
Xiao Tian nodded in agreement with Xiao Yan's words, acknowledging that real combat was the path to rapid improvement.
The two walked into the Alchemist Guild. The moment they entered, a rich aroma of medicinal pills wafted over them, making them feel refreshed and invigorated.
While Xiao Tian was looking around and Alchemist Guild inside, Xiao Yan activated the system: "System Check-in."
[Ding! Check-in Gama Holy City Alchemist Guild, received: Yunmeng Phoenix Gold *12, Secret Realm Card *1]
Yunmeng Phoenix Gold: Legend has it that this special metal was produced after a phoenix fell in Yunmeng Marsh. Once it recognizes its owner, it can change its form at will.
Secret Realm Card: Using this card grants entry into a mysterious, random Secret Realm. The Secret Realm is completely random, depending on individual luck. It may contain valuable items, yield nothing, or even pose a danger. This card is for the Host's personal use only.
"Xiao Yanzi, let me take you to the trading area."
Although this was Xiao Tian's first time at the Alchemist Guild, he had previously researched a lot of information about the Alchemist Guild while he was in Maiteer.
The entire Alchemist Guild is divided into three areas: east, south, and west. The east area is the trading area, where many Alchemist sell or exchange various medicinal herbs, scrolls, and Jade Bottle, etc. This is the trading area.
To the south, numerous Medicine Cauldron were burning fiercely, with many Alchemist refining medicine and others Alchemist experiences. However, most of them were low-level Alchemist, such as those of the first or second rank.
The West Hall was much quieter than the first two halls, and there were many guards standing in the corridors. Only Alchemist of the Third Rank or above were allowed to enter.
Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan walked among the Bluestone Platform in the east hall, their eyes constantly scanning the items placed on the platforms.
"Young man, what would you like to order?"
Seeing Xiao Tian stop in front of his stall, the stall owner hurriedly asked.
How much is this Purple Emperor Spirit Mushroom?
Xiao Tian looked calmly at the purple Ganoderma lucidum on the stall and asked.
"Young man, you have excellent taste. This is the best thing in my stall. It's a hundred-year-old Purple Emperor Spirit Mushroom. I went through a lot of trouble to find it. If you want it, just give me a Fourth Grade Pill."
The stall owner pointed directly to the medicinal herbs and began to explain them in a boastful manner.
"Too expensive."
Xiao Tian immediately recognized the age of the medicinal herb and spoke up.
"It's not expensive at all. I've been charging the same price for a hundred-year-old Purple Emperor Spirit Mushroom for years. It's very difficult for me to collect these herbs."
Xiao Tian frowned slightly; why did this old man seem a little strange?
If it weren't for the powerful Soul Perception something special within it and pinpointing its age, Xiao Tian would have ignored the stall owner who was spouting nonsense.
