Upon hearing Ling Ying's threat, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was not afraid. Instead, it felt that it had made the right choice.
The person before it was undoubtedly a Late Stage Dou Emperor, meaning a Seven-Star Dou Emperor, Eight-Star Dou Emperor, or Nine Stars Dou Emperor!
"Rest assured, Lord Dou Emperor. I will absolutely obey Young Master. Young Master even promised to refine a Humanoid Transformation Pill for me!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King said with a fawning smile.
"A Humanoid Transformation Pill?"
Ling Ying frowned slightly. "Xiao Chuan is also an alchemist?"
"You didn't know? Young Master is also a Tier 6 Alchemist!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King said.
Ling Ying truly had not known. Even their Young Miss did not know. "Alright, I understand."
With that, he left.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a sigh of relief. Why had so many powerful experts appeared in a tiny Wutan City?
It turned to look at its cub, fury rising in its chest. "Look at someone else's son, then look at you! Don't run! I'll beat you to death!!"
The cub was on the verge of tears. Why were his days getting harder and harder...
On the other side, after several rounds of drinking, Xiao Chuan brought Xiao Yan into a room.
"Third Brother, what good stuff did you bring me?"
"A lot."
With that, Xiao Chuan handed all the Foundations of Artifact Refining, Compendium of Formations, Rare Manual of Beast Taming, and other books he had collected to Xiao Yan.
After all, while in Jia Ma Holy City, he had gathered everything he could find specifically to give to Xiao Yan.
"The outside world is dangerous. You need to know a little of everything. You don't have to master it, but you must learn it." Xiao Chuan handed all the books to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at the pile of books stacked against his chest, sweat pouring down his forehead. "Third Brother, isn't this too much?"
"Too much?" Xiao Chuan took out the Companion Amethyst Source. "Then do you still want this?"
"Xiao Yan! You absolutely must have this!" Yao Lao's voice rang out in his mind.
Xiao Yan immediately pointed at the Companion Amethyst Source. "Third Brother, I want this!"
"This is a treasure I obtained from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Younger Brother, what cultivation method do you practice?" Xiao Chuan asked, though he already knew the answer.
"A Fire Attribute Cultivation Method."
"Then that's perfect. After refining the Companion Amethyst Source, you'll gain a Purple Flame. It will be of great benefit to you."
After saying that, Xiao Chuan handed the Companion Amethyst Source to Xiao Yan. "If it isn't enough, come ask Third Brother for more. Third Brother has plenty."
"Thank you, Third Brother!"
Xiao Yan excitedly put it away.
Xiao Chuan pretended to sniff. "Younger Brother, have you been trying to refine pills lately?"
Alchemists generally carried a Medicinal Scent. Ordinary people could not smell it, but Xiao Chuan certainly could.
Third Brother was too good to him. Xiao Yan could not bear to deceive him, so he simply nodded. "Besides cultivating, I found things a little boring, so I wanted to try refining pills."
"Since you cultivate a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method, you truly are suited for alchemy." Xiao Chuan nodded. "Your Third Brother is also an alchemist. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me."
"Third Brother is also an alchemist?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise. "Then what tier of alchemist are you, Third Brother?"
"Only Tier 6, I suppose. Nothing special!" Xiao Chuan replied casually.
Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, while Yao Lao within the ring was utterly shocked. He knew how difficult it was to become an alchemist.
Yet Xiao Chuan had already become a Tier 6 Alchemist at such a young age?
It was simply unbelievable!
Yao Lao suddenly felt that there had to be someone behind Xiao Chuan. Otherwise, he did not believe Xiao Chuan could have taught himself to such a level.
Xiao Chuan took out three rings and placed them in Xiao Yan's hands. "I happen to have quite a few medicinal herbs here that I no longer need. You've only just become an alchemist, so you'll definitely need them. Take them all."
Xiao Yan was so moved he was about to cry. Third Brother treated him far, far, far too well!!
"Younger Brother, Third Brother is giving you so many things for your own good. You must learn all of these, understand?" Xiao Chuan emphasized deliberately.
Xiao Yan nodded heavily. "As long as it's something Third Brother gave me, I'll study it seriously and won't neglect any of it!!"
There was no choice!
Third Brother had given him too much!!
"As expected of my good younger brother. Do you want to refine the Purple Flame? I can help you speed up the refinement."
Xiao Chuan possessed the Green Lotus Core Flame. He could help Xiao Yan suppress the effects brought by the Purple Flame and allow him to refine it more quickly.
Yao Lao's voice sounded again. "Xiao Yan, let your Third Brother help you."
"Thank you, Third Brother."
With that, Xiao Chuan had Xiao Yan absorb the Companion Amethyst Source on the bed while he assisted with the refinement.
Previously, Xiao Chuan had only refined it for a few days before obtaining the Purple Flame. With his help, Xiao Yan would also be able to gain the Purple Flame very quickly.
By then, Xiao Yan would surely devour Heavenly Flames to upgrade the Flame Mantra, and his cultivation would also improve to a certain extent.
The refinement process was extremely dull, but Xiao Chuan could not afford the slightest carelessness. Xiao Yan's current realm was still too low. If he was even slightly inattentive, Xiao Yan could very well be in danger.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!!
Until the fifth day!!
Xiao Chuan finally helped Xiao Yan refine the Purple Flame. He let out a sigh of relief, though he felt even more joy.
"Third Brother!! You're too good to me!"
Xiao Yan was nearly in tears. Why was Third Brother so good to him?
"Promise Third Brother that you'll learn everything I've given you well, alright?" Xiao Chuan said solemnly, heavily patting Xiao Yan's shoulder as though entrusting him with an important duty.
Xiao Yan said sincerely, "I won't let Third Brother down!!"
"Good younger brother!"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chuan left Xiao Yan's room.
Yao Chen emerged in Soul Body form. "Xiao Yan, your brother is truly good to you. He was even willing to give you the Companion Amethyst Source."
"I won't let Third Brother down. I must catch up to him and do whatever I can for him!" Xiao Yan said.
Yet Yao Chen shook his head. "I misjudged things before. Xiao Yan, the gap between you and your Third Brother is simply too great."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Yan was deeply confused. Hadn't Teacher said before that his future self would not be inferior to Third Brother?
Yao Lao said in a shocked tone, "Your Third Brother's talent is too monstrous. He was previously a Dou Wang, yet in less than a year, he has already advanced to the Dou Emperor realm!"
"My Third Brother is a Dou Emperor!?" Xiao Yan blurted out in disbelief. He had only advanced to Dou Zhe, yet his Third Brother had risen by another Major Realm!?
Third Brother!
Hadn't they agreed to improve together?
Why had he secretly left him behind? He had not even gotten on board yet!!
"Look at the things your Third Brother gave you," Yao Lao reminded him.
Xiao Yan immediately inspected his Storage Ring and discovered that it was filled with medicinal herbs—an utterly terrifying amount of them!!
Ingredients for Tier 1 Medicinal Pills, ingredients for Tier 2 Medicinal Pills, ingredients for Tier 3 Medicinal Pills, and even ingredients for Tier 4 Medicinal Pills!
"Xiao Yan, your Third Brother treats you too well. If your father truly is your father, I'd honestly suspect you were your Third Brother's son," Yao Chen said astonishingly.
Xiao Yan truly broke down crying. "How about I discuss it with my father and have my Third Brother become my dad instead?"
"You can try."
"Trying it means dying..."
After returning, Xiao Chuan went to speak with Xiao Zhan about moving the family to Jia Ma Holy City.
Xiao Zhan did not reject the proposal either. He said that once matters here were settled, the entire clan would relocate to Jia Ma Holy City.
Xiao Chuan certainly would not let them travel there on their own. Once he returned, he would send people over to escort them.
Xiao Chuan said impatiently, "Once everything is arranged, Younger Brother, hurry up and devour the Purple Flame. I can't wait any longer."
