At this moment, Hai Bodong had tears in his eyes. Although the ice Fighting Qi in his body was as cold as frost, his heart was surging with warmth. So, Hai Bodong used the most primitive method of gratitude: he bowed his head and bent his knee, intending to kneel on one knee, but Chen Yang reached out and stopped him.
"Old Hai, you and I are our own people. We can just communicate with our hearts; there's no need for such a grand gesture!" Chen Yang exerted force, making it impossible for Hai Bodong to kneel.
"Thank you, Young Lord!!!" Hai Bodong knew that at this moment, no words of profound gratitude or self-sacrifice could be as genuine as those simple four words.
"Old Hai, just find a place in the Xiao Family to go into seclusion. I'll be here for the next few days. As for Cultivation Technique issues, when we go to Central Plains in the future, I'll ask the Ice River Valley Master for their Earth-rank Cultivation Method. As for Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique... when Xiao Yan becomes a Dou Di, you can ask him for it!" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Me???" Xiao Yan pointed at himself, utterly bewildered.
You two, master and servant, are so affectionate, why did you suddenly bring me into it? And calling me Dou Di? Right now, I'm envious to death just looking at you two, one a Dou Zong and one a quasi-Dou Zong. Dou Di, my foot!
"Brother Yan, work hard, I have high hopes for you!" Chen Yang reached out and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, saying with a smile.
"Brother Yan? Yan Di!!! Gehehehe..." Xiao Yan clearly misheard, but it also seemed like he hadn't misheard completely, happily making a goose-like sound.
Hai Bodong also smiled; he didn't take Chen Yang's words about Xiao Yan becoming a Dou Di in the future to heart. This kid was still relying on the Young Lord to progress. In Hai Bodong's opinion, if there were to be a Dou Di on the Fighting Qi Continent in the future, it could only be Emperor Yang, Chen Yang's Yang!
"Young Lord, then this subordinate will go into seclusion!" Hai Bodong did not disturb Chen Yang further and left.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yong led Hai Bodong to a spacious small courtyard and instructed their subordinates to ensure no one disturbed him.
After Hai Bodong left, Yao Lao slowly floated out: "Kid Chen, you are quite generous, using my Disciple's future to do favors for your own people!"
Yao Lao actually didn't believe Xiao Yan could become a Dou Di. In his opinion, even with Chen Yang's nurturing, if Xiao Yan could surpass himself and become a Dou Sheng in the future, that would already be very impressive. After all, on the Fighting Qi Continent, without a Dou Di Bloodline, becoming a Dou Sheng was already quite remarkable.
"Yao Lao, how about we make a bet?" Chen Yang looked at Yao Lao with a cheerful expression.
"Bet on Xiao Yan becoming a Dou Di in the future?" Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan.
"That's right, I bet he can become a Dou Di." Chen Yang smiled, expecting Yao Lao to say something like he didn't believe it.
"Hehe... I also believe my Disciple will definitely become a Dou Di, and even surpass Dou Di!" Yao Lao stroked his beard and chuckled, which momentarily stunned Chen Yang, who then smiled.
"Hey, Brother Yang, old man, what kind of bet is this?" Xiao Yan grumbled loudly, "You're both betting on me becoming a Dou Di, so how do you calculate the stakes?"
Chen Yang saw Xiao Yan's expression, reached out and patted his shoulder: "If I win, I'll get a Dou Di brother!"
Yao Lao also chuckled: "If I, your master, win, then I will gain a Dou Di Disciple!"
Looking at Xiao Yan's dumbfounded expression, the two exchanged glances: "In that case, why not?"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then gradually a smile appeared in his eyes, slowly spreading across his face, and finally he burst out laughing: "Brother Yang, Teacher, thank you..."
Xiao Yan knew that he had always aimed to become a Dou Di, but it was like shouting that he would get into Tsinghua or Peking University when he was in elementary school. Adults would hear it and think the child was promising, but few would actually believe he would get in.
And the only ones who truly believed that child would definitely get in were the child's parents and family.
At this moment, Chen Yang and Yao Lao's actions made Xiao Yan feel a warmth in his heart.
"Dou Di... even beyond Dou Di, I will definitely achieve it!" Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind.
...
Looking at Xiao Yan, Chen Yang reached out and patted his shoulder, then kicked the Amethyst Winged Lion King at his feet.
"Master!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King curiously raised its head to look at Chen Yang.
"As one of my two great generals, Old Hai will soon advance to Dou Zong. Have you ever thought about evolving?" Chen Yang asked the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Master, I dream of it!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King knew that after Chen Yang advanced to seventh-grade, he would definitely refine a Transformation Pill for it, but the medicinal herbs for the Transformation Pill were incredibly rare, so it didn't extravagant it, just left it to fate. Anyway, the Master's first Transformation Pill would definitely go into its mouth.
"Kid Chen, are you planning to refine a Transformation Pill for the Amethyst Winged Lion King? Are you confident? Otherwise, you can carry the Pill Lightning for me, and I'll refine it!" Yao Lao said.
"The main medicinal herb for the Transformation Pill, shapeshifting grass, is incredibly precious. It's not in these storage rings." Chen Yang shook his head. "However, I do have a Pill Formula called the Azure Origin Profound Sun Pill. It uses the accompanying purple crystal source of a seventh-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King, along with a ten-thousand-year Green Lotus Seed, forged with three types of unique flames, to stimulate the ancient Bloodline within a fire-attribute Demonic Beast and enable its evolution."
"The minimum requirement to consume this pill is Peak Sixth-tier, which the Amethyst Winged Lion King is perfectly suited for right now!" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"A ten-thousand-year Green Lotus Seed, that's enough to refine a Ninth Grade Pill, and you're using it to refine a seventh-grade?" Yao Lao looked at Chen Yang as if he were a prodigal son.
"The Bloodline Dao is profound and mysterious. It's almost impossible for ordinary Demonic Beasts to Awaken an ancient Bloodline without great perseverance and Opportunity, even for Medusa who evolved into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, if she doesn't have a great Opportunity in this life, she will only stop at Dou Zun." Chen Yang said, squatting down and stroking the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head, "But the seventh-grade pill I refined using the ten-thousand-year Green Lotus Seed as the main ingredient can perfectly activate the beast Bloodline within it. If it's lucky, it's not impossible for it to become a Dou Di in the future!"
"Hiss!" Yao Lao was instantly shocked by Chen Yang's idea.
"Then... can Sister Medusa also take this kind of Medicinal Pill?" Qing Lin asked cautiously.
"Her... she has something even better!" Chen Yang reached out and rubbed Qing Lin's small head.
"Oh!" Qing Lin pouted, deciding to tell Medusa this good news when she returned.
"Very well, since this lion is also your beast, Old Man and Xiao Yan will help you!" Yao Lao nodded.
"Thank you, Yao Lao!" Chen Yang nodded with a smile, and then began Alchemy!
A day later, dark clouds once again appeared above the Xiao Family, but Chen Yang still broke through them with a single sword, and the Pill Lightning cloud immediately dissipated.
"Tsk tsk... If you become a Dou Sheng and then rise to a Ninth Grade Golden Core Grandmaster, I fear one sword strike might even disperse the legendary Nine Profound Golden Lightning!" Yao Lao watched Chen Yang's performance, marveling.
"It's not that much effort!" Chen Yang shrugged, then fed the Medicinal Pill to the Amethyst Winged Lion King...
