Medicine Hall

"Uncle, is it really true that that Soul Body won't harm Yan Er?" Xiao Zhan, who had witnessed the entire interaction between Elder Yao and Xiao Yan, asked with some concern.

That's an old monster with a Heaven Realm Soul. He can't possibly look after his son all the time. If something really happens, there's no going back.

"Don't worry, Little Yanzi will be fine," Xiao Han said calmly. Now that Elder Yao had shown himself, he naturally put aside any bad intentions he might have had.

Compared to possession, the latter might prefer to entice Xiao Yan to cultivate the Burning Flame Art and collect Exotic Fire, thereby helping him refine his body.

Although there is some element of exploitation involved, it will not harm Xiao Yan's growth; in fact, it may even become the foundation for his advancement. He is still thinking about the legacy of the Tou She Ancient God.

However, to put Xiao Zhan at ease, Xiao Han still tossed him a jade talisman, which the latter caught with lightning speed.

"Give this jade talisman to Little Yanzi. If that old guy tries to possess my body, this thing will be a safety net," Xiao Han said calmly.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xiao Zhan excitedly.

"From now on, everything will proceed as usual. Let's consider that so-called Three-Year Agreement as a trial for Little Yanzi!"

Although the Xiao Clan's higher-ups never cared about Gui's so-called Three-Year Agreement, even if they lost in the end, it wouldn't have any impact on the Xiao Clan. But winning would naturally be better.

"Yes, Uncle." Xiao Zhan was in a good mood. For some reason, he always felt that his uncle seemed to value Yan Er very much. However, this was a good thing, and he just needed to do as he was told.

On the other side, Xun Er keenly noticed Xiao Yan's change, smiled brightly, and said sweetly, "Xiao Yan Gege seems to be in a good mood?"

"Yeah, we can't keep going on like this forever!" Xiao Yan chuckled and said.

In Xun Er's eyes, the once spirited and brilliant genius of the Xiao Clan family seemed to have returned, still as dashing as ever.

The next day, Xiao Yan got up early, tidied himself up, and stepped out of his room.

"Old man, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need?" Xiao Yan asked silently in his heart.

"What old man? How many times have I told you to call me teacher!" Xiao Yan heard Elder Yao's exasperated voice in his mind.

"Alright, alright, teacher!" Xiao Yan picked at his ear and said noncommittally.

"Xiao Yan Gege, where are you going?" At this moment, Xun Er's voice came from behind. Xiao Yan turned around and saw that the fresh and elegant figure was none other than Xun Er.

"Xun Er, I'm going to the Medicine Hall." Xiao Yan said frankly without hiding anything.

"The Medicine Hall?" Xun Er frowned. Xiao Yan Young Master went to the Medicine Hall on his own initiative, whether in the past or after he lost his talent. Why would he suddenly want to go there now? She was filled with doubt.

"Let's go together!" Xiao Yan invited before Xun Er could ask, and she naturally agreed with a smile in her eyes.

And so, Xiao Yan and his companion ventured deep into the heart of the Xiao Clan Residence, stopping before a magnificent gate. Looking up, they saw the two large, gilded characters "Medicine Hall) written in a flowing, elegant style on the plaque.

Everywhere you look, you can see the importance and grandeur of this place, and there seems to be a faint sense of heat emanating from the courtyard.

The Medicine Hall is a vital location for the Xiao Clan. It supplies pills to all members of the Xiao Clan on a daily basis and is also a money-making machine for the Xiao Clan, so its importance is self-evident.

Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter, but of course... this is completely irrelevant to Xiao Yan and his companion.

As soon as they entered the Medicine Hall, Xiao Yan and his companion attracted everyone's attention. The members of the Medicine Hall were well aware of the combination of these two young masters.

Soon, an acquaintance arrived. "Xiao Yan, what made you decide to come here?"

"It's Uncle Wuxin!" Upon hearing this somewhat rough voice, Xiao Yan looked up and saw a burly, dark-faced man with a thick beard standing in front of the two of them. It was none other than Xiao Yan's old acquaintance— Xiao WuXin.

Basically, this person was responsible for receiving Xiao Yan whenever he came to the Medicine Hall for treatment after being injured. Although his appearance was somewhat unkempt, he was one of the few Fourth Rank Alchemist in the Medicine Hall, a highly respected figure.

"I'm just here to find a few medicinal herbs, so there's no need to trouble Uncle Wuxin," Xiao Yan said, waving his hand.

Medicinal herbs?

Xiao WuXin was taken aback. Why did this little guy suddenly decide to come to the Medicine Hall to find medicinal herbs? What was he going to do? However, he kept his doubts to himself. The medicinal herbs that Xiao Yan knew were just some cheap ones, and he didn't care about the cost!

Xiao WuXin laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you really don't come here unless you have a reason. You used to come here for treatment, but now... you want to become a self-taught expert?"

Hearing Xiao WuXin's teasing, Xiao Yan blushed, but quickly regained his composure. "Uncle Wuxin, what are you saying? How could I, Xiao Yan, be such a person?"

"Whatever you want," Xiao WuXin said nonchalantly. "Just tell me what medicinal herbs you want! Anything within the fourth rank is fine with me, and I'll get them for you personally."

"I didn't expect that your Xiao Clan, which doesn't seem like much on the surface, would have such considerable wealth!" Upon hearing Xiao WuXin's words, Elder Yao said to Xiao Yan with slight surprise.

Although the Xiao Clan's current strength is nothing compared to what he used to have, it is already quite good compared to this small northwestern country.

Xiao WuXin's straightforward tone surprised Elder Yao. Xiao Yan Kid had been a good-for-nothing for three years, yet he could still obtain medicinal herbs so easily from this so-called Medicine Hall. While his special status played a part, it also reflected that these were merely a drop in the ocean for the Xiao Clan, demonstrating Xiao Clan considerable wealth.

"I'll have to take a good look at this," Elder Yao said to Xiao Yan in his mind, intrigued. "You can just tell me to go and choose for yourself."

"Choose yourself?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. Elder Yao was really going to ask for an exorbitant price! However, he didn't object. Xiao Yan simply said, "Uncle Wuxin, can I choose myself?"

"Hey, you little brat, you don't trust me?" Xiao WuXin's face darkened, and he said angrily. Did this little brat think he was going to trick him?

"Uncle Wuxin, you've misunderstood!" Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly explained, "I was just curious about the family's collection of medicinal herbs. I've never seen them before in all these years."

Having said that, he put on an enthusiastic expression.

"What, you're actually interested in these medicinal herbs? You used to refuse to learn alchemy no matter what..." Xiao WuXin suddenly stopped, thinking that Xiao Yan only had the third level of Dou Zhi Qi cultivation at this time. Wasn't he just stabbing Xiao Yan in the back?

"It's alright, Uncle Wuxin." Xiao Yan naturally knew what Xiao WuXin was worried about and comforted him, "I won't always be a useless person." After his talent was restored, Xiao Yan was obviously able to take the word "useless" in stride.

But Xiao WuXin was unaware of this. He simply believed that Xiao Yan had overcome this hurdle and praised him repeatedly, saying, "Excellent! As expected of a member of the Xiao Clan, this is the spirit we should all have!"

"Come on, Uncle Wuxin will show you the Xiao Clan's collection today."

Xiao WuXin took the lead, followed closely by Xiao Yan and Xun Er. As the three figures disappeared into the distance, Xiao Yan's slightly childish voice drifted over, "Uncle Wuxin, does the Xiao Clan have any medicinal herbs of Fifth Order or higher?"

"You little rascal, you've got quite the appetite," Xiao WuXin said arrogantly. "Of course, we have higher-grade medicinal herbs, but don't get your hopes up. You don't have the authority. We'll talk about it later!"

"Hehe, it's just curiosity!" Xiao Yan scratched his head and chuckled.
