NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16.2: Helpless and Envious
“This kid… always thinking about his own family.”
Although Yao Chen was somewhat helpless in her heart, she also felt envious deep down.
If only there was such a person in her own family, she wouldn’t have been driven out…
Although Xiao Yan wanted the descendants of the Xiao Clan to enjoy the benefits of this elixir too, ultimately it was Yao Chen who was making the medicine. Even as a disciple of Yao Chen, he shouldn’t take advantage of his master’s kindness .
But…
“Senior Yao, could I…”
“It’s fine. It’s only Building Foundation Spiritual Liquid, it makes no difference for me to whether we refine one bottle or ten bottles. It won’t take much effort as long i we have enough materials.” Yao Chen interrupted Xiao Yan and said generously, “As long as you have the materials, I’ll refine as much as you need.”
“Thank you, Senior Yao!”
Xiao Yan was overjoyed, and Yao Chen waved her hand lightly. With a flick of her jade hand, she lifted the materials used to refine the Qi Gathering Pill into the air, and a faint white flame burned on her fingertips.
Watching Yao Chen start to refine the medicine with a serious expression on her extremely beautiful face, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but be fascinated again.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yan looked at the five neatly arranged Qi Gathering Pills on the table. Their color was even more dazzling than the one gifted by Nalan Yanran that day. Along with his shock, he also had some guesses.
His teacher’s level as an alchemist might be higher than that of the renowned Dan King Gu He in the Jia Ma Empire!
“The night is long and full of dreams. Such precious things must be delivered quickly.”
Xiao Yan carefully put the five Qi Gathering Pills into a bottle, pulled out the cloak from the wardrobe, and left the Xiao Clan quietly just like that day. He arrived at the Mittel Auction House and, after being announced by the guards, was able to meet Ya Fei.
“Little brother Xiao Yan, is there anything you need from your sister?” Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan strangely. Did she put the wrong materials in the storage ring?
“I have five Qi Gathering Pills. My teacher has finished refining them, and I’m here to deliver them to Sister Ya Fei.”
Xiao Yan handed the bottle containing the five Qi Gathering Pills to Ya Fei. Seeing the five green pills in the bottle, Ya Fei’s eyes were full of shock.
She had seen Qi Gathering Pill before and knew what it looked like. Therefore, she could recognize at a glance that these five pills were genuine Qi Gathering Pill, and their quality was absolutely top-notch!
Even the Qi Gathering Pill refined by Dan King Gu He couldn’t compare to this level of quality!
He was able to refine five Qi Gathering Pills of such quality in just one afternoon.
“What level of alchemist is the teacher that Xiao Yan’s younger brother worships?!”
Although shocked internally, Ya Fei quickly composed herself, took the bottle, and smiled charmingly.
“You really didn’t disappoint me, little brother~”
As always, Ya Fei wouldn’t ask anything she shouldn’t, no matter how curious she was.
“Sister Ya Fei, I have another request.”
“Just say it, little brother. As long as it’s something I can do.”
“It’s…those foundational spirit liquids. Can you help me obtain sixty more sets of the required herbs?”
“Um…”
Ya Fei paused for a moment, and Xiao Yan immediately added:
“Of course, I’ll pay for them!”
“Money isn’t a problem. It doesn’t matter if I give them to you,” Ya Fei waved her jade hand lightly, then spoke in a soft voice, “The main issue is the shortage of supplies. The purple leaf orchid and washing bone flower are easy to find, but even first-grade wood-type magic nuclei are difficult to find in such large quantities.”
“I see…”
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and Ya Fei continued, “But you shouldn’t need to use all of them at once. I’ll prepare some for you from the auction house first, and I’ll figure out how to get the rest from other auction houses.”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Sister Ya Fei,” Xiao Yan said, taking out the black gold card. “Just deduct whatever amount you need directly from here.”
When Ya Fei saw the black gold card that Xiao Yan handed over, she was about to say something, but Xiao Yan spoke first, stopping her.
“Sister Ya Fei, I appreciate your kindness, but we need to distinguish what should be distinguished. I’ve been taking advantage of you for too long, and I can’t bear it. At least I should pay the cost that I need to pay. Please don’t make it difficult for me.”
Xiao Yan spoke seriously, and Ya Fei was stunned for a while before smiling helplessly and taking the black gold card from him.
“Okay then, let’s do it your way this time.”
“Hmm.” Seeing Ya Fei accept the black gold card, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, pulling his cloak up again to cover his face. “Sister Ya Fei, Xiao Yan takes his leave.”
“Take care~~~”
Watching Xiao Yan leave, the smile on Ya Fei’s face gradually disappeared as she focused on the bottle containing the Qi Gathering Pill in her hand.
She was almost certain in her heart that the teacher Xiao Yan had worshipped was a alchemist above Pill King Gu He.
