Xie Tianxiao on the side watched the conversation between Xiao Yan and Yao Chen and couldn't help but shook his head and said to himself: "With Xiao Yan's current knowledge, if he knew Yao Lao's identity, he would probably only think that the other party was a liar."
The current Xiao Yan is not the Yan Emperor Xiao Yan who is famous throughout the continent.
But it was Xiao Yan, an ordinary person who only had the fourth level of fighting spirit and had no idea about cultivation or even alchemy.
It is precisely because of Xiao Yan that there is no conflict of interest with Xie Tianxiao, and that Xie Tianxiao has never disturbed Xiao Yan's apprenticeship.
"Since you are willing, let's perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
Yao Lao crossed his legs on a piece of bluestone, and then waved towards Xiao Yan, his meaning self-evident.
"Do you still want to salute?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.
"Nonsense, you're not polite, you just want me to teach you all you have to say, what are you dreaming about?"
Yao Lao rolled his eyes. Obviously, the old man with a somewhat pedantic temperament cared very much about this master-disciple relationship.
"All right."
In order to become a distinguished alchemist, Xiao Yan had to kneel down quickly and respectfully said to the Yao Lao: "Teacher."
"Well, get up."
Yao Lao nodded with great satisfaction, and at the same time added: "I know that you don't want to be my teacher because you are afraid that I will be detrimental to you and blackmail you into doing something."
"And I do have something I want you to do."
"Ah? It really does!"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face looked like a bitter gourd.
"Why panic? Wait until I finish speaking!"
Yao Lao glared at Xiao Yan and continued: "But don't worry, since you have become my Yao Lao's apprentice, I will never let you do something that is beyond your ability or that threatens your life."
"By the time you can do that, you will at least be at the level of a Dou Huang."
"So, you don't have to worry about me harming you at all."
Yao Lao saw that Xiao Yan's face became much more relaxed, so he smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Fine."
Xiao Yan shrugged and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he would know about this matter sooner or later, so there was no rush at this moment.
"By the way, teacher, what level of alchemist are you?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.
Alchemists in Dou Qi Continent are divided into grades one to nine, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest. That famous Alchemist King Furukawa of the Gama Empire is a grade six alchemist!
"What, is it because your level is low and you don't want to be a teacher?"
Yao Lao stared at Xiao Yan.
"Uh, no, it's nothing. I'm just curious."
"After all, I am your disciple now, but I don't even know your rank. Isn't this a bit of a failure?"
Xiao Yan scratched his head and Xiao quickly explained.
"What rank I am, I won't tell you yet, lest you get too proud and get carried away."
Yao Lao shook his head, and then said calmly: "But, you just need to know that the thing called the King of Alchemy, to me... is just rubbish."
Darling, even King Alchemy was called trash by him. What kind of teacher did he have?
Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to ask any more questions for a while.
…
"Although I'm sorry to interrupt your master-disciple conversation, Yaochen, you won't forget who used a Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva to help you recover."
At this moment, Xie Tianxiao's voice came from the side, with a hint of joking in his tone.
The Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva plant was only discovered by Xie Tianxiao among the Dou Wang Najie in the Tianyin Mountains. It was a wasted profit, but it cannot be wasted in vain. What needs to be done still needs to be done.
"Of course I remember."
"But what I don't understand is, how did you know that I was in this ring?"
Yao Chen turned around, frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Besides, you are not an alchemist, but you also know how to use strange fire to purify the seven phantom green spirit saliva to help me restore my soul power. This makes me very strange. What exactly do you do?"
What is your identity?"
Yao Chen had never forgotten Xie Tianxiao, but he only saw him quietly watching his exchange with Xiao Yan, and then he resisted asking Xie Tianxiao's identity and intentions.
Another reason is that he can't see through Xie Tianxiao.
Although he has just woken up, after being nourished by the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, his soul power can already reach the level of a high-level Dou Huang.
But he still couldn't be sure of Xie Tianxiao's strength, and the other party knew him, which made Yao Chen think that Xie Tianxiao was probably a strong man from Zhongzhou, and his cultivation level was not low!
This was also the reason why he didn't dare to use his strength to suppress the opponent immediately after knowing that Xie Tianxiao knew that he was hiding in the ring.
"Yes, how did you know that the reason why my fighting spirit disappeared was because it was absorbed by the teacher?"
Xiao Yan also looked at Xie Tianxiao with a puzzled look.
"You master and disciple have so many problems."
Xie Tianxiao did not answer Yao Chen and Xiao Yan. Instead, he looked at Yao Lao and said, "Yao Chen, you should have discovered that I have no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, I would not have helped you recover in advance, but would have killed you directly."
.”
Hearing Xie Tianxiao's words, Yao Chen frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "So, what is your purpose? I don't believe that you will help me out of kindness without asking for anything in return."
"Of course there is a purpose."
Xie Tianxiao didn't mince words and said straight to the point: "As long as you hand over the Bone Spirit Lenghuo and refine some elixirs for me when I need it."
Bone Spirit Cold Fire!
Hearing this condition, Yao Chen's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes and said, "So you came here for my strange fire."
He didn't expect that Xie Tianxiao would actually make such a request.
"You can understand it that way."
Xie Tianxiao nodded and did not hide it.
"Since you know my name, you should also know the importance of this strange fire to me, so please forgive me for not agreeing to it."
"As for helping you refine elixirs, that's no problem, but it will take some time, because I have to teach Xiao Yan how to practice and refine elixirs in the past two years." Yao Chen pondered for a moment, then refused.
That strange fire was something he used to save his life and refine medicine. It was his root. How could he hand it over so easily?
If he hadn't been unable to see through Xie Tianxiao's strength and was worried that the other party would endanger Xiao Yan, he would have tried the person who wanted to take away his strange fire.
"Of course I know the importance of strange fire to alchemists."
"But, what does this have to do with me?"
The corner of Xie Tianxiao's mouth curled up and he looked at Yaochen calmly.
"You are so unreasonable!"
Xiao Yan on the side interrupted.
Although he was very grateful to Xie Tianxiao for telling him about the problem of disappearing fighting spirit and allowing him to become a disciple of an alchemist, he did not expect that the other party would be so overbearing and unreasonable.
"Be reasonable? Xiao Yan, you are still too naive!"
"Being reasonable requires equal strength. Unfortunately, I happen to have it, but you don't have it yet!"
Xie Tianxiao glanced at Xiao Yan, stretched out a finger to make left and right gestures in front of him, and said.
"You are using strong words and logic as a gangster!"
Xiao Yan shouted angrily, this Xie Tianxiao was so shameless and shameless.
"Whatever you think."
Xie Tianxiao was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Yan, but turned to look at Yaochen, and said calmly: "How are you thinking about it, Yaochen."
