Chapter 65 Yao Lao FollowsAfter discovering that Xiao Yun had a strange fire, Yao Lao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I see that your soul realm has reached the peak of the mortal realm. This kind of soul is enough to support you to become a seventh-grade alchemist, but if you want to go further and become an eighth-grade alchemist, it will not only require a breakthrough in alchemy, but also a soul in the spiritual realm."
"The method of cultivating the soul is comparable to the heavenly fighting skills. How about I teach you after you revive me?"
Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Xiao Yun was a little confused for a moment. This was all about strange fire and soul skills. This old man seemed to think highly of me.
No, could it be that Yao Lao is afraid that I will snatch it from him directly, so he paints such a big pie for me?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yun looked at Yao Lao suspiciously as if he had guessed the correct answer, and said with a smile: "Senior, you have given me so many benefits. Are you worried that I will be blinded by greed and do what the bandits did?"
"I started practicing at the age of four, and in just nine years, I have already reached a level that ordinary people would find difficult to reach in their lifetime. At my current training speed, I am confident that I will be able to break through to the Dou Zun level before I am twenty-five."
"What's more, the teachings of the seniors are like a fish in water to me. I am not so short-sighted as to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."
"So please rest assured, senior. With your help, maybe I can even reach the Fighting Saint realm. It will be my duty to restore your soul and body for you. This is a situation of working together and achieving a win-win cooperation." Xiao Yun explained with a smile, showing his sincerity.
After all, only a fool would choose to betray Yao Lao directly and snatch the martial arts and fighting skills from him. Yes, that's right, I'm talking about you, Han Feng!
The most valuable thing for a continent's number one alchemist is not his martial arts skills, but the knowledge in his mind!
Although Xiao Yun had reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist under the guidance of Elder Huo, could he be compared with Yao Chen? To put it bluntly, to Yao Chen, alchemists below the seventh grade were nothing.
As for the Burning Technique, perhaps he would have wanted it very much when he had just crossed over, but now that he had broken through to the Dou Wang level, and also had the bottleneck-free panel plug-in, switching to practicing the Burning Technique would result in a greater loss.
Xiao Yun guessed that the Burning Decision was most likely a technique left by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, because Tuoshe Ancient Emperor also took the path of swallowing all kinds of fire. But he didn't need it, with the effect of the panel, maybe he could ignore the source energy and directly advance to Doudi.
So Xiao Yun is not in a hurry now. Anyway, he can still follow his own path. When his own path is blocked, he will try to practice the Burning Technique.
"What a stunt of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I didn't expect that at your young age, your awareness is better than mine... Humph!" Yao Lao was halfway through his words when he suddenly seemed to remember something. His originally calm face instantly became ferocious, and he snorted coldly.
After a while, Yao Lao, who had calmed down, continued, "I just recalled some bad memories and lost my composure. You are so confident that you want to break through to Dou Sheng. I wasted my whole life and only reached the peak of Dou Zun."
I know, it’s Han Feng. Don’t worry, I will bring people to help you kill him after I break through to the Douhuang level.
Xiao Yun muttered in his heart, he was really coveting Han Feng's Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, and also the Sea Heart Flame. Although he couldn't subdue many strange fires, it would be nice to collect them or give them to his teacher.
"If I can break through to the Dou Sheng realm, I will definitely help you break through to the Saint realm as well."
"Hahaha, if it was so easy to break through to the Douluo Saint level, there wouldn't be so few Douluo Saints on this Douluo Continent." Hearing this, Yao Lao was amused by Xiao Yun's fearless belief.
Xiao Yun just smiled faintly and didn't say anything else. It was normal for Yao Chen not to believe him, but he not only wanted to break through to the Douluo Saint level, but also to become the Douluo Emperor!
"Little guy, you should practice hard to break through to Dou Zong first. Although Dou Wang is considered a strong person in the northwest continent, he is nothing in the entire Dou Qi continent."
After saying that, Yao Lao waved his hand lightly, and a black ring flew out from the forest behind Xiao Yun, hovering in front of him. He said, "This ring is called the Bone Inflammation Ring. My soul resides in it. Wear it with you. I will follow you from now on. By the way, let me witness the growth of the future Dou Sheng."
"Under normal circumstances, I can always give you advice on alchemy or cultivation, and I will also teach you all of my recipes."
Looking at the black ring in front of him, Xiao Yun understood that Yao Lao almost completely trusted him, otherwise he would not have exposed his habitat to him. He smiled and said, "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down."
"I think your soul body is a little illusory. It must be because you have lost too much soul power over the years. To show my sincerity, I will immediately refine some soul-recovering pills for you to take." Xiao Yun said, and with a touch of his palm on the storage ring, a red medicine cauldron appeared on the open ground. It was the Flame Dragon Heavy Cauldron.
"You are thoughtful. This cauldron is good. Although it is not as good as those on the Tianding list, it is enough to refine pills below the eighth grade." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Yao Lao smiled and stroked his gray beard. His current condition is indeed not very good, and his soul power is only one third of its previous level.
"..."
"What are you waiting for?" After a while, Yao Lao saw that Xiao Yun had not made any other moves, and asked in confusion. Could it be that he had been dead for too long? Do alchemists nowadays like to be in a daze for a while before refining?
"Well, to be honest, I came out in too much of a hurry, and my master hasn't taught me the recipe for the soul-restoring elixir yet." Xiao Yun touched his head awkwardly. In fact, it's not that Elder Huo didn't teach him, but that the master and disciple didn't have the recipe for it.
"You kid, it turns out you want to get my medicine formula for free." Yao Lao said with a smile. He didn't expect that Xiao Yun said he wanted to restore his soul in order to get the medicine formula.
The recipe for soul-restoring pills is still very precious. Xiao Yun could not guarantee that his soul would not be damaged in the future, so he would take as many as he could from Yao Lao. "Hey, this is the recipe for the fifth-grade pill Soul-Nourishing Saliva, and the other is the recipe for the sixth-grade pill Soul-Fixing Pill. I'll give them to you, little rascal." Yao Lao waved his hand, took out two black scrolls from his ring, threw them to Xiao Yun, and said, "You must have some medicinal materials, right? You're not going to take advantage of me for this, are you?"
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yun smiled from ear to ear after receiving the two scrolls of prescriptions. He quickly glanced at them and said, "There are only enough herbs for the Soul Nourishing Saliva. There are still a few herbs missing for the Soul Solidifying Pill. I will help you refine the Soul Nourishing Saliva first. The Soul Solidifying Pill will have to wait until later."
He put the pill recipe into the storage ring. At the same time, a large pile of medicinal materials appeared on the open ground. The Green Lotus Earth Core Fire appeared on Xiao Yun's fingertips. He flicked his fingers and the green flame shot into the medicine cauldron.
Picking up the medicinal herbs beside him, and when the temperature in the cauldron reached the right level, Xiao Yun skillfully threw the herbs one by one into the flames.
Although it was Xiao Yun's first time to refine a pill, since it was only a fifth-grade pill, the refining technique was not difficult and did not take up too much of his mind.
While refining the medicine, Xiao Yun was still able to chat with Yao Lao in the air, and said with a smile: "Senior, is my alchemy skill really pleasing to your eyes?"
“Although there is still a certain gap between you and a true alchemy master, you are already considered to be at an upper-middle level among sixth-grade alchemists. Sometimes I really feel that you are not a thirteen-year-old boy, but an old fellow who has been skilled in alchemy for a lifetime. Your talent in alchemy is so high that even when I was thirteen years old, I could not compare to you.” As if he saw his former self, a look of nostalgia emerged on Yao Lao’s face.
Hearing this, Xiao Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know if I have a high talent, but I have refined a lot of pills. I was able to reach the sixth-grade alchemist at the age of thirteen, thanks to those classmates who asked me to refine pills in the past."
Perhaps because he was not a local, Xiao Yun never felt that alchemists were superior to others. When he was in the inner courtyard, he would agree to anyone who asked him to make medicine as long as it did not affect his cultivation of fighting spirit. Just like those small vendors who offered low prices in his previous life, they forced down the price of alchemy in the inner courtyard.
Anyway, he felt that if someone asked him to refine medicine, he would make money. After all, every high-level alchemist was fed with a large amount of medicinal materials. Xiao Yun had no power to provide medicinal materials for him to practice. If someone asked him to refine medicine, he could not only improve his alchemy skills, but also get some medicinal materials if he was lucky. Why not do it?
"I see. You help others refine pills for free to gain a lot of experience in refining pills? Your idea is unique, but it is feasible in the northwest continent where there is a lack of high-level alchemists. It won't work when you go to Zhongzhou in the future."
"Why?" Xiao Yun asked puzzled.
"Because there are too many alchemists in Zhongzhou, they only trust high-level alchemists. Instead of having a sixth-grade alchemist like you refine it, they are more willing to spend more money to ask a seventh-grade alchemist to refine it, even if it is just to refine a sixth-grade pill."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun just nodded and said nothing more, because now it has come to the most critical step! In the medicine cauldron, a pool of emerald-colored liquid was suspended on the flame, bubbling continuously, and a faint fragrance permeated from it.
Soul power surged out, and Xiao Yun carefully controlled the Green Lotus Earth Fire. Under the burning of the green flame, the pool of liquid was slowly taking shape.
About half an hour later, a wave of heaven and earth surged out from the medicine cauldron, and it was obvious that the soul-nourishing saliva had been successfully refined. Xiao Yun waved his hand lightly, and his soul power stopped the wave of heaven and earth. At the same time, the pool of green liquid also flew out of the medicine cauldron.
"The quality is good, although it has not reached the top grade, but considering that it is your first time refining it, it is not easy to refine it to this level. Thank you very much, young friend." Looking at the soul-nourishing saliva in the air, Yao Lao touched his beard with some satisfaction. With it, his soul power could be restored a little.
Xiao Yun put the green liquid into the ring and said with a smile: "Senior Yao Lao, you don't have to be polite. You can just call me Xiao Yun from now on."
"I still don't know how you, Yao Lao, can revive the body?"
Hearing this, Yao Lao waved his hand, and a black scroll flashed out from his storage ring. He handed it to Xiao Yun and said, "This is the recipe for the seventh-grade elixir, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill. I'll give it to you now."
"When you are able to refine this bone-growing and blood-melting pill, and combine it with the strange fire, the essence and blood of a high-level monster, and the corpse of a Dou Zong strongman, I will be able to use the corpse to revive."
"Thank you, Master Yao, for the recipe. After I break through to the Dou Zong level, I will start preparing the materials for your resurrection and revive you completely." Xiao Yun stretched out his hand to take the recipe with a smile on his face.
Yao Lao is indeed an eighth-grade alchemy master. With him by his side, he won't have to worry about high-level pill recipes in the future. Moreover, Xiao Yun remembered that there was another Skyfire Venerable in the magma world under the Tianfen Qi Training Tower. Now that he knows how to revive the soul, he can also get the protection of a Douzun strongman.
"Xiao Yun, I'll leave my work to you from now on." After saying that, Yao Lao turned into a stream of light and went into the storage ring.
"Don't worry, Yao Lao, I won't let you down!"
In the dark night, the young man's solemn promise and firm voice echoed on the top of the mountain.
I had no idea at first, so I played a few games of LOL to try to find my way back. Unfortunately, I played until the evening, and quickly typed out 3,000 words. Sorry.
