When Ya Fei and Gu Ni arrived at Chen Yang's small courtyard, Chen Yang had just finished his Alchemy.
"Great MasterChen Yang!"
"Teacher!"
Chen Yang stretched, looked at the two of them, and nodded, slowly walking towards the stone table under the Jade Willow Tree in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Gu Ni hurried forward, wiped the table and stool clean with his sleeve, and stood respectfully behind Chen Yang, observing the etiquette of a Disciple.
"Sit, sit!"
Chen Yang waved his hand, and Gu Ni and Ya Fei sat down beside him.
"The two wind spirit pills sold for a total of 170,000 gold coins. After deducting the cost of six sets of medicinal ingredients, there are a little over 150,000 gold coins left. This is your 110,000 gold coins, Great Master!"
Ya Fei first settled the account.
"Mhm!"
Chen Yang took the gold card and stuffed it directly into his storage ring. Then, he tossed out two jade bottles.
"Inside this bottle are two qi recovery pills. You can put them up for auction at the Auction House in a couple of days."
"These three are wind spirit pills. Send them to other cities in the Jia Ma Empire!"
Chen Yang said softly.
"This..."
"Teacher, these were... all refined by you in just half a day?"
Gu Ni took the jade bottle in shock. One of the bottles was still slightly warm to the touch, obviously having just come out of the furnace not long ago.
"Just a fluke. With good luck, five sets of ingredients produced five Medicinal Pills!"
Chen Yang smiled. The Alchemy Skill rewarded by the System was truly impressive; there was almost no such thing as a failure rate.
One must know that on the Fighting Qi Continent, even if Venerable Yao, Yao Chen, used his strength as a Grade 8 Alchemist to refine a sixth-grade pill, there was still a chance of failure.
"Teacher is truly remarkable!" Gu Ni praised. Chen Yang's Alchemy Skill, not to mention among his peers, would likely be far ahead even among those old fogies.
"In the future, Mr. Chen Yang will likely be able to step into that Sixth-Rank realm and become a figure comparable to Pill King Gu He, right?" Ya Fei's beautiful eyes stared at Chen Yang's face as she praised softly.
"Pill King Gu He?"
"He's nothing but a fart!"
"That fellow wouldn't even qualify to be an alchemy apprentice in my sect!"
If you're going to act cool, you have to do it smoothly.
"Sixth-Rank? Not even qualified to be an alchemy apprentice?"
Although Ya Fei and Gu Ni didn't know what an alchemy apprentice was, they could still understand the word "apprentice."
"That's right. This Gu He person—the Elder also mentioned him when sending me to the Jia Ma Empire. He's so old and yet only a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!"
"However, within this Jia Ma Empire, without a High GradeAlchemistLegacy, the fact that he could grope his way to the Sixth-Rank means he has some talent!"
Although Gu He was weak in his eyes, he had to admit that Gu He was a talented individual.
"Mhm..."
Gu Ni and Ya Fei both nodded, accepting Chen Yang's statement.
However, their hearts could not remain calm. Chen Yang's background was indeed terrifyingly powerful; he didn't even care about a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. This time, they had truly latched onto a powerful supporter.
"By the way, Great MasterChen Yang, there's something I need to tell you..."
Ya Fei came back to her senses and explained Xiao Zhan's recent request and the matter concerning Xiao Yan.
"An eleven-year-old Dou Practitioner?"
"This talent would be considered a Genius even in the Central Plains!"
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to encounter such a Genius in this Northwest Region!"
Chen Yang started acting cool again.
"Is Great MasterChen Yang interested in this Xiao Yan?"
Ya Fei poured a cup of tea for Chen Yang and asked softly.
"I want to see what caused this kid's Dou Qi Cyclone to suddenly dissipate, leaving him stuck at the Three Stages of Dou Qi for three years!"
"By the way, you mentioned that Xiao Zhan said the Xiao Family held another test today?"
Chen Yang nodded. After admitting his interest in Xiao Yan, he suddenly asked.
"Yes. Counting the days, that Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family is fifteen years old this year!"
Ya Fei said softly.
"Mhm..."
Chen Yang nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, roughly understanding the situation.
It turned out he had happened to catch the start of the story.
So tomorrow would be the classic scene of battle through the heavens—the engagement annulment?
Thinking of this, Chen Yang smiled slightly, put down his teacup and looked at Ya Fei: "Miss Ya Fei, please send someone to inform Xiao Zhan. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Xiao Family to join the fun."
Ya Fei nodded. She was able to manage a city's Auction House as a woman with a cultivation level not even reaching Dou Practitioner because she was ten times smarter than others.
Since Chen Yang didn't state the reason, she naturally wouldn't ask; she would just follow orders.
From the moment Gu Ni called Chen Yang "Teacher," it meant that the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City actually belonged to Chen Yang, and that naturally included her, Ya Fei!
Ya Fei went down to handle the matters, while Gu Ni humbly asked for advice on the Alchemy Skill.
Chen Yang naturally told him everything he knew, making Gu Ni feel incredibly satisfied.
For how many years had he not craved knowledge as much as he did today... Meanwhile, after Xiao Zhan returned to the Xiao Family, he simply ordered that no one disturb him, then closed the door to prepare to consume the Medicinal Pill.
"With my talent, I'm afraid this single pill won't be enough for me to Breakthrough!"
"But, what if..."
Xiao Zhan was quite looking forward to becoming a Six-Star Great Dou Shi after tonight, and if he could save a third-grade pill as a Family foundation, that would also be excellent!
After thinking, Xiao Zhan adjusted his state, put the pill into his mouth, and swallowed it.
Half an hour later, a surge of majestic energy suddenly burst out from the location of the Xiao FamilyClan Chief, followed by Xiao Zhan's hearty laughter.
"Hahaha!"
The laughter caught the attention of the guards outside the door. The guards looked sideways one after another, looking at each other in confusion.
Today, Young Master Xiao Yan's test results were still stuck at the Three Stages of Dou Qi. Shouldn't the Clan Chief be sad? How could he let out such a happy laugh?
Creak!
The door to the main room suddenly opened, and the guards who were exchanging glances immediately stood up straight.
"Reporting, Clan Chief, someone from the Mittel Auction House has arrived!"
Just as Xiao Zhan was about to go to the Back Mountain to tell Xiao Yan the good news of his Breakthrough, a guard suddenly came forward to report.
"Quick, lead the way!"
Xiao Zhan was suddenly overjoyed. Ya Fei's people had arrived at this time; could it be that the mysterious Alchemist had agreed to his request?
"Yes!"
Arriving at the meeting hall, a middle-aged woman in tight-fitting clothes with the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Shi looked at Xiao Zhan and cupped her hands: "Clan Leader Xiao, Miss Ya Fei asked me to bring word. Tomorrow morning, that Great Master will come to the Xiao Family to examine Young Master Xiao Yan's condition!"
Xiao Zhan was even more delighted upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Your Excellency, and thank you, Miss Ya Fei!"
In his excitement, Xiao Zhan forgot that tomorrow morning, there would be other distinguished guests visiting!
"Farewell!"
"Old Mo, see the guest out!"
"Yes, Clan Chief!"
When Butler Mo returned, Xiao Zhan was still pacing excitedly on the spot. Although he didn't know if that Alchemist could solve his son's problem, one more hope meant there was a chance it could be resolved.
"Clan Chief, tomorrow morning, the guests from the Nalan Family are also coming..."
Seeing Xiao Zhan's excited appearance, Butler Mo stepped forward and reminded him cautiously.
"Hmm???"
"Oh, look at my memory!"
Xiao Zhan suddenly looked out the door in frustration. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two parties!
"Clan Chief, I think with the Mittel Auction House's intelligence, it's impossible for them not to know the news that the Nalan Family is visiting tomorrow..."
Although Butler Mo didn't finish his sentence, Xiao Zhan understood.
"Whew..."
Xiao Zhan let out a long breath.
"I see. You go back and rest. I'm going to see Yaner!"
Since the other party knew this and still wanted to visit tomorrow morning, he had nothing more to say.
He couldn't afford to offend a Third-Grade Alchemist, and he still needed a favor.
At worst, he would just throw his dignity away!
Moreover, his current strength as a Six-Star Great Dou Shi was given by them.
"If I, Xiao Zhan, were a Dou Wang expert, Yaner wouldn't... Sigh..."
Never before had Xiao Zhan craved strength as much as he did now!
After leaving the house, Xiao Zhan walked quickly toward the Back Mountain.
He only stopped to say hello when he encountered Xiao Xun Er on the way.
"Strange, how did Uncle Xiao Zhan suddenly Breakthrough to a Six-Star Great Dou Shi?"
Xun'er looked at the direction Xiao Zhan left in confusion and murmured softly.
Meanwhile, on the Back Mountain, Xiao Yan was lying on the grass with a blade of grass in his mouth, thinking about the afternoon's test and sighing softly...
