Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Deceiving the Lonely Elderly

  Xiao Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and then an old voice sounded, "Young man, how did you know of my existence?"

  "Junior greets Master Yao." Xiao Jue respectfully saluted to the Bone Inflammation Ring on the table beside him, and said, "Before leaving, the teacher sensed the senior's aura and asked me to seek help from the senior when I encountered difficulties."

  An old figure appeared, extremely illusory, and Master Yao said solemnly, "Who is your teacher?"

  "Yin Yang Saint Long Yan." Xiao Jue said, "Before leaving, the teacher sensed the senior's soul body and did not come to disturb you, but told me the location of several strange fires that could help you."

  Master Yao chuckled, "I have the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, what's the use of other strange fires."

  "The senior needs three kinds of strange fires to resurrect, and only the Burning Decree can do it."

  Master Yao's face condensed, and he believed Xiao Jue at this time, and said, "Give me the news of the strange fires, and you can come to me if you need to refine any elixir in the future."

  "Although I only have my soul body left, I can still refine ordinary sixth-grade elixirs."

  Xiao Jue glanced at the dumbfounded Xiao Yan in the wooden barrel, and said with a wicked smile: "Why don't I compete with my good cousin first to fulfill our bet, and then when his strength improves and he starts to practice the Burning Technique, we can trade the information of the strange fire in other ways."

  "Okay." Yao Lao had a playful expression, watching the fun without minding the trouble. He sensed the breath of Dou Sheng from Xiao Jue's body, which had not completely dissipated.

  It is suspected that he tempered his body with the essence and blood of a ninth-level magic beast, and there is a high probability that there is really a Dou Sheng behind him.

  If there is a Dou Zun behind Xiao Jue, he will still have to worry about whether the other party will use his soul body to please the master of the Soul Palace, but if it is a Dou Sheng, there is no need to worry, because the other party does not care about the small favors given by the Soul Palace.

  ...

  After a moment, Xiao Yan had a look of being shocked. His hand trembled as he pointed at Xiao Jue. He gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, are you still a human being? Why don't you change your name to Xiao Lu?"

  "I'm envious, right?" Xiao Jue looked at him proudly, then looked at Yao Lao and said, "There is one more thing, it's about Han Feng..."

  "Boom!"

  A powerful aura unconsciously emanated from Yao Lao's body, and the terrifying air wave directly shattered the wooden barrel in which Xiao Yan had soaked the foundation-building spirit liquid, and water flowed all over the floor.

  Yao Lao said in a deep voice: "How is that beast?"

  "He is in the Black Horn Region not far from the Jia Ma Empire. Because he was plotted against by old man Mu Gu and his potential was consumed, he practiced the incomplete Burning Technique. Now he is really at the peak of Dou Huang, but he can prove the feasibility of practicing the Burning Technique."

  Xiao Jue said with a serious face: "Teacher did some research on the Burning Technique. This technique is suspected to be related to the last Dou Emperor Tuo She Gudi in the Dou Qi Continent."

  Yao Lao was stunned, staring at Xiao Jue, and asked: "Then you and your teacher don't want to practice the Burning Technique?"

  "It's too dangerous to devour the strange fire, and the teacher doesn't have fire attribute Dou Qi." Xiao Jue shook his head, "If all the strange fire I found could be swallowed obediently, I would be willing to practice the Burning Technique, but it is obviously impossible. The teacher also has a heavenly technique for me to practice. I can become a Dou Sheng in the future, and becoming a Dou Emperor is not something that can be done with a Burning Technique."

  "This time I owe you a favor." Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled bitterly, "After all, Xiao Yan will practice the Burning Technique in order to revive me. I feel guilty, but if the Burning Technique is a smooth and unobstructed path to Dou Sheng, then I will not be ashamed of Xiao Yan."

  Xiao Yan wiped his body with a towel and smiled bitterly, "Teacher, I feel you should compensate me with some foundation-building spirit liquid now."   

  Yao Lao smiled awkwardly, "Go buy the herbs yourself."

  He then looked at Xiao Jue, "What kind of elixir do you want me to help you refine?"

  "Five Qi Gathering Powders and eight Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills." Xiao Jue said, "However, the Miter family is still collecting these herbs, and they will not arrive in Wutan City until three days later. The eight Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills are for the four great fighting masters of the Xiao family, and one Qi Gathering Powder can be left for Xiao Yan."

  Yao Lao nodded and returned to the Bone Inflammation Ring, "Come to me later and give the herbs to Xiao Yan, and that's it."

  Xiao Jue asked, "Did you only buy the herbs for one batch of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid with the gold coins I gave you last time?"

  Xiao Yan nodded helplessly, "That batch of herbs cost more than a thousand gold coins, and I didn't want to buy more, so I wasted one today, but that Han Feng..."

  "Don't ask so many questions." Xiao Jue said, "Go to the Miter Auction House and find the chief auctioneer there, Ya Fei, and tell her that I asked you to go there. Buy twenty portions of medicinal materials for the foundation-building spirit liquid. I will pay her later. When you come back and refine them, give me ten portions. The remaining ten portions will be enough for you to practice to the level of a fighter."

  "The foundation-building spirit liquid created by Master Yao can speed up the practice of the fighting spirit stage." Xiao Jue asked, "Master Yao, how about making a deal? Give me the recipe for the foundation-building spirit liquid and I will make a beast fire for Xiao Yan, how about that?"

  "The Burning Technique can devour the Beast Fire to evolve. Before Xiao Yan breaks through to the Fighter level and practices the Burning Technique, I will prepare the Beast Fire."

  A scroll flew out of the Bone Flame Ring and fell into Xiao Jue's hands. Xiao Jue collected it with a smile, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then I will go back first. I will leave one for you when I refine the Condensation Pill."

  Xiao Yan hurriedly pulled up his pants and asked: "Xiao Jue, have you really become an alchemist?"

  Xiao Jue raised his right hand, and a black and white flame appeared. He smiled and said: "I won't tell you the rest. I will go back first."

  Xiao Yan looked confused. It was not until Xiao Jue left that the voice of Yao Lao came from the Bone Flame Ring.

  "Your Xiao family is really going against the sky. The small Wutan City actually has three strange fires at the same time."

  Yao Lao had one more thing to say, that is, Xiao Jue's Yin and Yang double flames, which felt stronger than his Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

  Xiao Yan asked in confusion: "But doesn't Xiao Jue have wood-attributed Dou Qi?"

  "The Yin-Yang Dual Flame ranks 21st on the Different Fire List. It has both Yang Fire and Yin Fire. The effect of Yang Fire is similar to the Living Spirit Flame, which ranks fifth on the Different Fire List, but its vitality is weaker.

  However, it can also replace the effect of wood-attributed Dou Qi." "Your cousin may become a ninth-grade alchemist in the future."

  "Okay, forget about it. If what Xiao Jue said just now is true, you can become a ninth-grade alchemist and a Dou Sheng in the future, but those are still too far away."

  "What you have to do now is to go to the Mitel Auction House and get twenty portions of the medicinal materials for the foundation-building spirit liquid in the name of Xiao Jue, practice and become stronger as soon as possible, and win the three-year agreement."

  Xiao Yan clenched his fists when he heard this. The three-year agreement, Nalan Yanran... just wait, I will definitely win!
