Burning Mantra Obtained, Begin Refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid!

"Many thanks. I was just about to purchase some materials for alchemy!"

With money in hand, spending was only natural. Yao Lao had not forgotten his promise to his disciple: to help him recover to the level of a Dou Zhe within half a year.

Ya Fei was naturally more than happy to oblige and immediately ordered her subordinates to prepare the medicinal herbs.

After obtaining the herbs, Yao Lao could not wait to leave the Mittal Auction House. He returned to the Xiao Family and immediately began refining the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

[Ding! Detected that Xiao Yan's life trajectory has changed. Simulation ended. Rewards: Burning Mantra (Gold), Prescription: Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid (Blue), Basic Alchemy (Blue)]

"Burning Mantra! Hahaha, I knew it! Choosing the Burning Mantra was the right call!"

Looking at the system reward panel, the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled upward wildly. The reason he hadn't chosen a Di-tier cultivation technique was precisely for this moment, wasn't it?

As a transmigrator, he understood the value of the Burning Mantra all too well. This thing was the greatest cheat for Xiao Yan's rise. This was the Dou Qi Continent, after all; if it were in the Great Thousand World, this item would never have been obtainable as a mere gold-tier reward.

Without hesitation, Xiao Chen chose to accept. The knowledge of Basic Alchemy and the refining method for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid immediately surfaced in his mind.

The Burning Mantra began to circulate within Xiao Chen's body on its own. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, which had been lying dormant in his Dantian, was suddenly stirred by the Burning Mantra and began to flow through his meridians once more.

[Ding! Detected refineable Exotic Flame--Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. Refine with one click?]

"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, let me see just how much you can evolve the Burning Mantra!"

Xiao Chen silently chanted "Refine." In an instant, the Burning Mantra seemed to transform into an unbridled wild horse, circulating frantically.

A quarter of an hour later, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding! Refining complete. Burning Mantra has evolved to Di-tier High-grade!]

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Exotic Flame Ranking!"

Looking at the system prompt, Xiao Chen couldn't help but click his tongue. He thought of how much Xiao Yan had suffered, refining three different Exotic Flames, just to push the Burning Mantra to the Di-tier High-grade.

Yet he had only refined one, and it was a painless process. Truly, the netizens were right: "Cheating is fun for a moment, but cheating forever is always fun!"

After the excitement subsided, Xiao Chen summoned the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame again. The golden flames danced slowly in his palm, occasionally morphing into a small rabbit, then into an eagle spreading its wings to soar.

"So this is the flame control method of an alchemist. The Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid is good stuff; it suits me perfectly right now!"

Xiao Chen licked his lips, withdrew the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame into his body, and turned to leave the room.

Having a cheat isn't scary; what's scary is having a cheat and still being a workaholic. Xiao Chen decided not to waste this rare opportunity. He needed to grind hard, so he prepared to buy some materials to refine the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

As for where the money would come from, hadn't the simulator already taught him? He had written that prescription down with his own hands back then; he hadn't forgotten it.

Mittal Auction House, VIP room!

"Young Master Xiao Chen, you aren't joking with me, are you?"

Ya Fei looked at the seven or eight-year-old boy before her, her face full of astonishment.

Xiao Chen picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then spoke slowly: "The prescription is right here. Whether I'm joking or not, Big Sister Ya Fei, won't you know once you verify it?"

Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't bother disguising his identity to come here. Besides, at his current age, a disguise would be far too easy to expose, so he simply walked in boldly.

In any case, with the Xiao Family backing him, the Mittal Auction House wouldn't dare harbor any crooked thoughts. Moreover, this was an improved Grade 2 prescription; in the eyes of those who didn't know better, there was definitely an alchemist standing behind Xiao Chen.

And the one thing you absolutely cannot provoke on the Dou Qi Continent is an alchemist. Ya Fei was a very shrewd woman and wouldn't do anything stupid. This was one of the reasons Xiao Chen dared to bring out the prescription so openly.

Of course, Xiao Chen also had enough confidence. With the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, even if Ya Fei turned hostile on the spot, he could suppress her in an instant.

"Fine! Little Brother Xiao Chen, please wait a moment. I will go invite Master Gu Ni immediately!"

Ya Fei took a deep breath to calm the complex emotions in her heart and hurried out of the VIP room.

Before long, Gu Ni, dressed in the robes of a Grade 2 alchemist, followed Ya Fei into the VIP room.

As soon as he entered, Gu Ni asked impatiently: "Where is the prescription? Let me see it quickly!"

"Little Brother Xiao Chen, please don't mind him. Master Gu Ni is obsessed with alchemy; that's just how his temperament is!"

Seeing this, Ya Fei spoke up quickly, fearing that Xiao Chen might have some misunderstanding. It was true that Gu Ni was a Grade 2 alchemist, but the person behind Xiao Chen was certainly no simple character either.

To be able to improve a Grade 2 prescription, one's alchemy skills must be above Grade 2. Although she didn't know if it was true or not, it was better to be cautious. It was best not to offend if one could avoid it.

"It's fine. The prescription is right here, Master Gu Ni, feel free to take a look!"

Xiao Chen didn't mind. These alchemists were all like this; their eyes would light up and they would become impatient the moment they saw something good. He understood perfectly.

It was like having a beautiful woman stand naked in front of you; if you didn't get excited, you'd need to go to the hospital for a check-up.

After Ya Fei's reminder, Gu Ni also regained his composure and reined himself in. He stepped forward and picked up the prescription to examine it. "Wonderful! Truly wonderful! After this prescription was modified, not only did the cost drop by half, but the efficacy of the pill produced could be increased by at least thirty percent!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take another look at Gu Ni. He had to admit, this old man really had some skill; he could infer the efficacy just by looking at the prescription.

"Master Gu Ni is correct. This is the Bone Growth Pill improved by my master. The efficacy is increased by at least thirty percent!"

Xiao Chen shamelessly attributed the prescription to his master. The implication was self-evident: I have someone backing me, don't try to fool me.

Shrewd as she was, how could Ya Fei not understand the subtext? However, she hadn't intended to harbor any crooked thoughts to begin with.

Offending an unknown alchemist for such a small profit was not the style of Mittal Ya Fei.

Thinking of this, Ya Fei walked slowly to Xiao Chen's side and sat down. She stretched, and her voluptuous figure was immediately laid bare. "Little Brother Xiao Chen, Big Sister will buy this prescription for five thousand gold coins. What do you think?"

The orchid-like scent of her breath hit Xiao Chen's face, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily. There was no helping it; although his body was that of a child, his soul was an adult's. How could he withstand such temptation?

At this moment, Xiao Chen only hated that his heart was willing but his body was weak. He could only secretly make a note of this grudge in his heart: You vixen, just you wait. I'll deal with you in a few years!

"A reasonable price, but there is one more thing I need to trouble you with, Big Sister!"

Xiao Chen hadn't forgotten the real reason he came here. After filing away his grudge, he spoke again: "Big Sister Ya Fei, I need some materials!"

"As for the money for the materials, just deduct it from the payment for the prescription!"

After saying this, Xiao Chen handed a list containing various materials to Ya Fei.
