At the training ground of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City, Xiao Yan supervised the training of the Xiao Clan’s younger members as usual.
The day after he had sent the Foundation Building Elixir to Ya Fei, she later met with him with a serious expression on her face.
“Uncle Gu Ni has confirmed that the quality of the Foundation Building Elixir you gave me is terrifyingly high, too high for this small Wutan City to afford.”
The meaning behind her words was not that no one in Wutan City could afford it, but rather that no one would be willing to spend so much money on it.
After all, it only increased the speed of cultivating Dou Qi, and although it was rare, Wutan City did not have that much spare money to spend on it.
On the other hand, the more prosperous cities’ noble families not only had the ability to afford it but also appreciated it, especially those with younger generations in the family.
So Ya Fei suggested sending it to a more prosperous city for auction, and Xiao Yan agreed to let her decide.
However, a week had passed since then, and there had been no news from Ya Fei.
Xiao Yan was not in a hurry, knowing Ya Fei’s character, she would not deceive him.
One of his principles is that, If you decide to believe in someone, you should trust them completely.
By the way, the young master of the Jia family, the man named Jia Lie Ao, who had fought to the death with Xiao Yan, was now well-known in Wutan City.
Unfortunately, it was not a good kind of fame.
The fight that they had the other day was widely spread by word of mouth among the onlookers in Wutan City and was now known to pretty much everyone.
A 21-year-old one-star Dou Zhe who was knocked down twice by a 15-year-old three-star Dou Zhi Xiao Yan.
People naturally didn’t believe that the reason behind this is because Xiao Yan was too strong, so they all thought that Jia Lie Ao was too weak and ridiculed him instead.
How can a Dou Zhe who can’t even beat a waste with three-star Dou Zhi be anything but trash?
This also meant that Jia Lie Ao had not left his house in a week. His face had been lost in Wutan City, so how could he dare to wander around?
“Yan’er.”
As Xiao Yan was focusing on supervising the training of the Xiao Clan’s younger member, Xiao Zhan walked into the courtyard and greeted his beloved son in a soft voice.
“Father.”
Xiao Yan walked up to Xiao Zhan, who had his hands behind his back.
“Miss Ya Fei is looking for you and is waiting at the entrance of the Xiao Clan.” Xiao Zhan said, raising his eyebrows teasingly at Xiao Yan. “Son, I have always felt that Ya Fei has a special attitude towards you since before. Could it be that she has taken a liking to you?”
“Don’t be silly, father.” Xiao Yan chuckled and waved his hand. “She is the future heir of the Miteer family, how could I be a match for her?”
“Impossible things can be accomplished if one works hard enough, right? Why not try to win her over?”
Xiao Yan did not reply and simply waved his hand, walking past Xiao Zhan towards the entrance of the Xiao Clan. Before leaving, he left a remark for Xiao Zhan.
“Father, please supervise things here for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
Watching his son’s back, Xiao Zhan was filled with satisfaction.
Apart from his strength, his son was practically perfect in every way. How could that dandy from the Jia Lie family compare to him? Even though the other party is a big realm higher than his own son, his son had beaten him to the point where he couldn’t get up, embarrassing even his father.
Xiao Zhan then turned his attention towards the Xiao Clan’s disciples who were training. Since Xiao Yan took over as coach, Xiao Zhan had hardly been involved in this aspect.
Now, he was feeling particularly interested and walked over to the front of the Xiao Clan’s younger generation that his son is teaching, Xiao Zhan raised one of his hand and laughed lightly.
“Children, the clan leader has come to practice with you~”
On the other side, Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Clan and saw Ya Fei standing there in an elegant red dress.
It had to be said that Ya Fei was a natural enchantress. If Yao Chen was breathtakingly beautiful, then Ya Fei’s allure was ingrained in her bones, making it difficult for people to control themselves.
Xiao Yan shook his head lightly and walked up to greet Ya Fei.
“Long time no see, Ya Fei.”
“It has been a while, little brother Xiao Yan.”
Seeing Xiao Yan, Ya Fei’s lips curved into a bewitching smile, causing Xiao Yan’s heart to tremble once again. Then, Ya Fei continued.
“The Foundation Building Elixir has been sold. After deducting the auction house’s earnings, it amounts to a total of two hundred and thirty thousand gold coin.”
“What?!”
Hearing this amount, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned, finding it hard to believe his ears.
“How- How much?!”
“You heard me right~ little brother Xiao Yan, it’s 230,000 gold coins~”
Seeing Xiao Yan was stunned, Ya Fei confirmed once again with her cherry lips opening and closing, and only then did Xiao Yan slowly come back to his senses, unable to help but click his tongue inwardly.
“My goodness… just one bottle of that can sell for 230,000 gold coins, and you know the cost is less than two thousand.”
No wonder everyone wants to become an alchemist, it’s simply a huge profit.
“Hehe~ I originally priced it at 100,000, but those aristocratic families were even more interested in that thing than I thought. This profit surprised even me.”
Ya Fei smiled and handed the black gold card to Xiao Yan, along with a storage ring.
“Sister Ya Fei, what’s this for?”
Looking at the storage ring, Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei in confusion.
Ya Fei put her index finger in front of her cherry lips, squinted one eye and smiled.
“You trust your sister so much, so of course I have to give you some benefits. Just accept it with peace of mind~”
“…”
Xiao Yan looked at the storage ring for a long time before finally looking at Ya Fei.
“Since Ya Fei sister said so, if I refuse, I would be rejecting your kindness. I’ll accept it, and if you need any help in the future, as long as it’s something I can do, I’ll do my best!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ya Fei’s stunning face approached Xiao Yan’s.
“This is what you said, little brother Xiao Yan~”
“Uh…”
Xiao Yan was stunned, and then Ya Fei spoke again.
“Sister needs five Qi Gathering Pill, and all the required medicinal materials have been put in the storage ring. Little brother can definitely help sister with this favor, right~”
“…”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time before finally showing a bitter smile.
“Ya Fei sister… Is it really okay to take advantage of me like this?”
“This is something you promised to do yourself, big sister didn’t force you~”
After speaking, Ya Fei slightly turned sideways and waved her hand lightly at Xiao Yan.
“Then this sister will go back first, waiting for your good news~”
Watching Ya Fei’s gradually disappearing graceful figure, Xiao Yan helplessly tapped his forehead.
This sister…
(Senio Yao, can I trouble you?) Xiao Yan asked in his heart and added, (If you don’t want to, this disciple will immediately refuse.)
Xiao Yan knew very well that the alchemist was Yao Chen, and accepting Ya Fei’s request without permission was like using his own teacher as a tool, which was quite rebellious.
In response, Yao Chen also made a response in Xiao Yan’s heart.
(It doesn’t matter, since you owe that girl a favor, you need to repaid it,and rather than owing favors to others, it’s better to owe it to your own teacher.) Yao Chen said indifferently, (It’s just Qi Gathering Pills, it won’t be much of a hassle. As long as there are enough materials, I can make them for you to eat like beans.)
Hearing these words, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Even if he wanted to eat them like beans, he didn’t have that kind of money now. He probably couldn’t even eat a few with the 230,000 gold coins in his bank card.
Xiao Yan put away the Gold Card and the Storage Ring, he turned around and walked back towards the training ground. If there was anything, he could talk about it at night.
Right now, he was busy training the younger members of Xiao Clan, and as their supervisor,he couldn’t be away for too long.
Just as Xiao Yan walked to the gate of the training ground, he saw his father, Xiao Zhan, walking out of it with a slightly gloomy expression. His clothes were still slightly damaged and dusty.
When he saw Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan’s eyes lit up and he rushed up to grab his son’s shoulder, asking sternly.
“Yan’er! What have you done to those kids?!”
