A few years ago, when Xiao Yang had been preparing to cooperate with the Mite'er Family, Ya Fei had been the one to receive him.

At that time, Ya Fei did not yet hold the position she had now.

Although she had come from the Imperial Capital to gain experience, her cultivation talent was not particularly high, so her status had not been very high either.

However, in the original work, Ya Fei had gradually taken control of the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City through her own methods.

After receiving Xiao Yang back then, she had not shown him the slightest contempt.

On the contrary, she had attached great importance to Xiao Yang's cooperation plan.

Ya Fei had contributed greatly to Xiao Yang's ability to open his restaurants across numerous cities.

Of course, Ya Fei herself had benefited as well.

Now that the restaurants had spread throughout the surrounding cities, Ya Fei's status within the Mite'er Family had risen considerably.

The Mittel Auction Houses around Wutan City were now all under her management.

Ya Fei knew that everything she had was brought to her by the young man before her.

Whether it was the restaurants' unique strong liquor or the stories told by the storytellers, they had all come from Xiao Yang.

Not only that, there were also many unique business concepts.

It was precisely because Xiao Yang controlled all of these things that even the Mite'er Family could not cast him aside and operate on their own.

Moreover, for a merchant family like the Mite'er Family, reputation was the most important thing.

So they would not casually abandon their business partners either.

Ya Fei took the list Xiao Yang handed her and gave it a casual glance.

"No problem. I'll have someone fetch the medicinal ingredients for you right away."

"How many sets do you need?"

"Will ten sets be enough?"

Xiao Yang nodded.

"That works. Get me ten sets."

After instructing a maid outside the room, Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yang with a smile.

"Have you had any new stories lately, little brother Xiao Yang?"

"And when will you send me the continuation of Return of the Dragon King?"

Xiao Yang smiled and took out a book from his Storage Ring.

"This is the continuation of Return of the Dragon King. As for new stories, there aren't any."

"Send it to the Tianyang Restaurants in every region."

With the Mite'er Family behind him, Xiao Yang was not afraid that anyone would dare casually plagiarize his novels.

After Ya Fei accepted the continuation Xiao Yang handed her, her gaze fell upon Xiao Yan beside him.

"This must be Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan, correct?"

Xiao Yan was quite well-known in Wutan City.

So Ya Fei recognized him at a glance.

Xiao Yang smiled and nodded.

"That's right, this is my younger brother, Xiao Yan."

"If he comes to the Mittel Auction House to buy something in the future, Miss Ya Fei, be sure to give him a discount."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ya Fei agreed immediately.

"No problem. If little brother Xiao Yan comes to buy things from me in the future, he will definitely receive the best price."

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door, and a maid entered carrying more than a dozen wooden boxes.

"Little brother Xiao Yang, these are the medicinal ingredients you wanted."

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony. With a wave of his hand, he stored them all in his Storage Ring.

"Deduct the money from the next dividend payment."

"I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang grabbed Xiao Yan and prepared to leave.

Ya Fei gave Xiao Yang a somewhat resentful look.

"Leaving so soon, little brother Xiao Yang?"

"Don't you want to stay with your sister a little longer?"

Watching Ya Fei's pitiful expression, Xiao Yan could not help but stare blankly.

But Xiao Yang, who had been tempered by the internet in his previous life, remained calm.

"No, I have important matters to handle. See you next time, Miss Ya Fei."

With that, Xiao Yang directly dragged away the still-dazed Xiao Yan and left without looking back, like a sigma man.

What he looked forward to more now was the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid Yao Lao would refine.

As for Ya Fei?

She could not compare to the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid in the slightest!

Besides, he also wanted to go back and study the system.

Soon, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan returned to the back mountain.

Before Xiao Yan could summon Yao Lao, Yao Lao emerged on his own.

He looked at Xiao Yang, narrowed his eyes, raised a brow, and said,

"I think that little girl Ya Fei is quite pretty."

"You actually didn't stay there a little longer?"

Xiao Yang could not help rolling his eyes at Yao Lao.

"Teacher, I'm not even fourteen yet!"

"Cultivation is more important right now."

"After all, my talent isn't as good as Xiao Yan's."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang willed it, and the ingredients for ten portions of Foundation Building Spirit Liquid appeared before the three of them.

Yao Lao looked at the medicinal ingredients on the ground and rolled his eyes.

"You really treat me like a beast of burden. You bought ten sets of ingredients at once!"

Xiao Yang said with a fawning expression,

"Isn't it because I trust Teacher's alchemy skills? That's why I simply bought a few extra sets."

Xiao Yan also leaned closer and said ingratiatingly,

"That's right, that's right. Pill King Gu He is nothing but a fart before Teacher. Refining ten batches of medicine is nothing to Teacher, right?"

Although he knew the two were flattering him, Yao Lao still smiled broadly.

"You two little slickers!"

"But this is good too. One round of refinement will be enough for you to use for a long time."

"Watch the refining process carefully."

As he spoke, Yao Lao did not waste any time and immediately began refining.

With a thought from him, a wisp of white flame appeared before the three of them.

Looking at the flame before him, Xiao Yang not only felt no heat, but actually felt a little cold.

"This is..."

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the white flame before him.

It was his first time seeing white flames.

A trace of reminiscence flashed through Yao Lao's eyes, and his face took on a touch of emotion.

"This is one of the things alchemists desire most—Heavenly Flames!"

"Mine is the Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!"

"Enough. I'll tell you more about these later. Watch carefully how I refine the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid."

With a thought from Yao Lao, some of the medicinal ingredients on the ground flew into the air on their own.

The Bone Chilling Flame instantly enveloped those ingredients and began refining them.

Xiao Yang took a look and saw that Yao Lao was actually refining three portions at once!

And he did not even need an alchemy cauldron.

Soon, an hour passed. Within the white flame, only three thumb-sized drops of green liquid remained.

The three drops of green liquid resembled jade.

Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Yang had stronger soul perception than ordinary people, and they could sense the abundant energy within the green liquid.

Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together and asked impatiently,

"Teacher, do we just drink it directly like this?"

Hearing this, Yao Lao rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan.

"If you want to die, then drink it directly. At that point, you'll become a true good-for-nothing."

"Do you have any jade bottles or something similar?"

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yang and asked.

Xiao Yang had long been prepared for this. His Storage Ring had always contained quite a few things.

He directly took out three jade bottles.

With a thought from Yao Lao, the three drops of green liquid flew precisely into the three jade bottles.

"When the time comes, dilute it with water and soak in it while cultivating."

"For Xiao Yan, reaching the Dou Qi Seventh Stage within a year won't be a problem."

"As for Xiao Yang... he should be able to reach the Dou Qi Eighth Stage within a year."
