Chapter 122 Master and Disciple Meeting
Facing Xiao Yan, who was provoked into anger by Xu Haoyu's few words, Yao Chen could only pretend to be profound and comfort him:
"Little guy, you don't need to be so angry. I absorbed your fighting spirit because my soul was extremely weak, so I had to do it. But now that I have awakened, I will definitely give you a corresponding reward."
"Do you know who I am? I was once the continent's number one alchemist, Medicine Venerable, Yao Chen. Under my guidance, not only will you be able to quickly recover your former strength, but you will even be able to break out of the Jia Ma Empire in the future and become a well-known strong man on the continent."
Xiao Yan was still angry in his heart, but he was much more mature now. He knew that his fighting spirit could not be saved. He knew how powerful this soul body boasted about him. If this soul body could really help him, he had to swallow his anger.
After a while of adjustment, Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said through gritted teeth:
"I hope you can keep your word. If you can help me wash away the humiliation I've suffered for three years, I will definitely be grateful for your kindness."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan turned to look at Xu Haoyu, and this time his voice became more sincere:
"Thank you Master Xu for helping me solve the problem of my fighting spirit declining. Otherwise, I don't know how long this would last."
Seeing the difference between how Xiao Yan treated himself and Xu Haoyu, Yao Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He had not completely gained Xiao Yan's trust. Although he had also planned to show up when an opportunity arose, he was naturally not trusted now that he was singled out like this.
Yao Chen, feeling aggrieved, looked at Xu Haoyu again and thought to himself that this boy was really meddling in other people's business. Suddenly, he spoke with interest:
"Young man, you don't seem to be surprised at my identity. Why? You know me!"
Xu Haoyu smiled and nodded and said:
"I have heard of it. After all, Medicine Venerable's name is well-known on the continent. But more importantly, Medicine Venerable's eldest disciple has caused me a lot of trouble."
Hearing this, Yao Chen was struck by lightning, his expression instantly turned cold, and murderous intent began to surge in his heart. He spoke in a low voice that seemed to seep out from between his teeth:
"Oh, I wonder what my traitor did?"
Xu Haoyu heard this and said:
"Han Feng, the eldest disciple of Medicine Venerable, has practiced a special technique that allows him to completely use the strange fire for himself. Although he already has a strange fire, he still wants to snatch more of it, which has caused me a lot of trouble."
"Having said so much, I can't help but ask, does Medicine Venerable have any other skills? I am very curious."
Xu Haoyu still wanted to get a copy of the Burning Technique. He didn't want to practice it. His Return to Oneness Technique could be integrated with other exercises for upgrading, while the Burning Technique could be integrated with different fires for upgrading. He was afraid that the two exercises would not be perfectly compatible. If the fighting spirit rioted, he would definitely die in the end.
But he couldn't help but want to study this special technique to see if it could be of any help to him.
At this time, Yao Chen, after listening to what Xu Haoyu said, had already fallen into painful memories. He treated Han Feng as his own son and generously taught him everything he had learned in his life.
But in the end, the traitor still joined forces with outsiders and killed his teacher. How sad and hateful it was.
It was just for the Burning Technique, but not teaching Han Feng the Burning Technique was also for his own good. The strange fires were violent, and it was a blessing to tame one kind of strange fire. Wanting to tame multiple kinds of strange fires was simply courting death.
But now it seems that after my death, that traitor still practiced the Burning Technique, but it should not be the complete version of the Burning Technique, as I destroyed a part of it at the beginning.
After a long time, Yao Chen spoke quietly:
"My friend, since that traitor attacked you, you can indeed know the inside story. That technique is called the Burning Technique. It is just the most common low-level yellow-grade technique, but its special feature is that it can devour strange fire to increase its level. If you keep devouring strange fire, you can keep increasing your level."
"You have also subdued the strange fire, so you should know how violent the strange fire is. Continuously devouring the strange fire is just seeking death again and again. I do have the Burning Art in my hands, but I advise you not to use it. Be careful not to get burned."
Xu Haoyu disagreed in his heart. Although Yao Chen said so, he still passed it to Xiao Yan in the end. If he wanted to be resurrected, he needed someone to practice the Burning Technique.
"I am even more interested in such a special technique. How about this, as long as Master Yao is willing to give me the Burning Technique, I will give Master Yao a great gift."
When Xu Haoyu said this, he touched the ring with his fingers, and suddenly a jade bottle appeared in his hand. "In this jade bottle is the soul of your eldest disciple. You give me the Burning Art, and I will give you the soul. Master Yao, what do you think?"
Yao Chen was shocked. His eyes suddenly fixed on the jade bottle in Xu Haoyu's hand. A murderous intent began to rise, causing the temperature in the room to drop.
Xiao Yan shuddered. He couldn't help but retreat far away. He didn't dare to get too close. He was too weak now.
Regarding what Xu Haoyu said, Yao Chen's eyes were uncertain, but in the end, his emotion overcame his reason. He wanted to question Han Feng, question this eldest disciple whom he treated as his own son, why he betrayed him. Was a mere Burning Technique worth it for him to do so?
Immediately, Yao Chen took out a black scroll from his storage ring, threw it to Xu Haoyu and said:
"This is the Burning Technique you want, but I advise you not to practice it. It's not easy for you to achieve what you have now. Don't ruin everything later."
Xu Haoyu took over the Burning Technique, and after confirming that it was correct, he threw the jade bottle in his hand away and said with a smile:
"Then don't bother Venerable Yao. I will study it carefully. Whether to practice or not will be decided later."
Xu Haoyu originally planned to refine Han Feng's soul to make the Heavenly Demon King. However, exchanging it for the Burning Art was also a big profit. As for refining the Heavenly Demon King's soul in the future, he could just capture it later.
The jade bottle was flying in the air. Yao Chen's soul power crushed it, and there was a loud bang, and the jade bottle exploded.
Han Feng regained his freedom. He condensed his body again and immediately wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
But the next moment, Yao Chen had already pounced on him. His originally kind face was now as ferocious as a demon. He stretched out his hands, tightly grasped Han Feng's neck, and said viciously:
"Traitor, look who I am!"
When Han Feng heard this familiar voice, he shuddered even though he had become a soul. He looked closely and saw that it was his teacher Yao Chen. He immediately said in shock and anger:
"It's you, you old immortal. You're not dead yet. No, you're already dead. Only your soul is left. Haha..."
Yao Chen was extremely angry, but he calmed down at this moment and asked coldly:
"Have I treated you badly? I treated you as my own child and taught you everything I learned in my life. But just because of a burning technique, you teamed up with outsiders to kill me."
Han Feng also knew that he was in danger, so he shouted without caring about anything:
"Bah, that's just nice talk. You're just afraid that I'll surpass you, so you won't teach me the strongest Burning Technique. You're just selfish, you just want to keep it all for yourself..."
A selfish person sees everything as selfish. Han Feng is like this. He himself is very selfish, so he also sees Yao Chen as selfish.
Not to mention, there is instigation from outsiders.
Yao Chen laughed desolately, and suddenly he felt hopeless, like an old man in his twilight years. The thought of resurrecting that he had originally wanted to revive had also faded. He was truly a failure.
