"What, you, an old man hiding in the dark, are more powerful than Alchemy King Furukawa?" Xiao Yan said in disbelief.
"What are you hiding in secret? I did it unintentionally." The old man continued to excuse himself. However, he still hasn't forgotten Xiao Yan's problem. Such a good young talent cannot be let go!
"Why do I need to lie to you? Boy, this continent is huge, and your vision is not broad enough!" the old man said with a slight disdain.
"Then what does this have to do with me becoming stronger?" Xiao Yan said in confusion. As for the alchemist's fighting ability against the five scum, he couldn't look down upon it.
"Boy, do you know?" the old man said mysteriously, "You have the talent of an alchemist!" The tone was full of temptation. After all, the alchemist has a high status in the mainland, and he believed that the latter would eagerly agree. .
"I know!" Xiao Yan's words stopped the old man.
"How did you know?" The old man was puzzled, and your reaction was wrong! Shouldn't we be overjoyed and then bow our heads?
What's the matter with being as calm as buying an onion at the vegetable market?
"My talent as an alchemist was detected by my family a long time ago, but before I had time to learn, my fighting spirit was gone." As he spoke, Xiao Yan glared at the old man, making the latter a little embarrassed.
"Ahem~"
The old man pretended to cough, and the thick skin he had developed in his early years of traveling around came into play, "Then would you like to become my teacher, learn the art of alchemy from me, and become an alchemist?"
In order to deceive a disciple, the old man also risked his life, "Besides, I also have a magical skill that can help you become a strong person!"
"Cultivation method?" Xiao Yan was so excited that he even changed his title, "Old sir, I wonder what level this skill is? Is it a high-level earth level or a heaven-level one?"
"Uh..." The old man blushed and said sheepishly, "Huang Jie."
"What the hell? Huang Jie? Are you kidding me?" Xiao Yan suddenly said. He was practicing low-level skills at the Earth level. What kind of joke are you asking him to practice Huang Jie? Isn't this getting further and further away from your goal?
"Uncle, let me go down and send this lying old man to heaven." Xiao Zhan said unkindly. He doesn't care now that the number one alchemist in the mainland wants his precious son to practice the Yellow Level Cultivation Technique to see if he doesn't peel off a layer of skin on the other side.
"Wait a minute, keep looking." Xiao Han stopped Xiao Zhan and stared into the distance with excitement.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhan calmed down and looked at his uncle's unusual reaction with confusion.
At this time, the old man began to explain: "This skill can grow."
Um?
Xiao Yan became interested, "What's going on?" He had never heard of such a magical technique since he was a child.
Xiao Zhan, who was always paying attention to this place from a distance, was also surprised: "There is such a skill?"
"That's right." Xiao Han nodded and said, "It is said that Master Yao obtained a very strange volume of skills in a certain ancient ruins, and this one should be it."

"Old sir, can you tell me more carefully?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"What, are you willing to become a disciple? I am a famous alchemist in the mainland. People who are eager to become my disciple can be queued from Zhongzhou to the northwest continent. If they had no choice, how could they fall in love with you?" The old man said arrogantly. said.
"Do you want to become a disciple?" Xiao Yan thought carefully. Seeing that the old man was so miserable and still had such strength, he was extremely disdainful of the Alchemy King Gu He. He was probably a powerful person, so it would not be a bad idea to become his disciple.
Seeing this, the old man once again stoked Xiao Yan's temper, "Boy, you don't have much confidence that you can win the so-called three-year contract now, right?"
"This young master is a genius who can break through the Great Fighting Master at the age of twelve. Now his talent has been restored again. It's just a three-year agreement. It's a piece of cake."
Xiao Yan did not continue following the former's words. As for negotiations, he just couldn't get into the opponent's rhythm.
"Haha~" The old man laughed inexplicably and said, "I can help you break through the Dou Zhe within a year."
"Are you serious?" Xiao Yan's expression straightened and he asked excitedly.
As the mysterious old man said, he had no confidence in the three-year agreement. Although Nalan Yanran is far behind him, with the full support of Yunlan Sect, she can reach the level of Great Dou Master in three years.
But he still had to start training from the fighting spirit. No matter how fast he practiced, he estimated that it would take at least two years to break through to the fighting master again. By the time of the three-year appointment, he would be able to reach the low-level fighting master level. !
If this old man can really help him break through the Dou Zhe within a year, then the chances of winning will be much greater!
"Of course I take it seriously. What, do you want to become a disciple?" the old man said with a smile.
Xiao Yan's expression changed a few times, and he suddenly said: "What do you need me to do?"
He was already excited now, but he had not lost his mind yet. This mysterious strong man suddenly said that he wanted to accept him as his disciple. He must have some agenda.
He would not believe that his talent was really good enough for the other party to take the initiative to recruit a disciple, especially if the other party had absorbed his fighting spirit for three years.
"Good boy, you can still be so calm now." The old man glanced at Xiao Yan with admiration. He did have something that needed Xiao Yan's help. If the conditions were not limited, how could he let go of the request so easily? This is understandable.
"You don't have the ability to do what I need you to do now, so...boy, practice hard!" The old man was always very arrogant in front of Xiao Yan.
"Even my family can't do it?" Xiao Yan asked with a frown. He was not a fool and would not use his family's ready-made help. At least within the Gama Empire, there were very few things that the Xiao family could not do.
"I would like to advise you, it is best not to expose my affairs, otherwise it will bring disaster to your family."
The old man said gloomily, he was not threatening. Although the Xiao family was quite strong in this corner, it was still far behind compared to his enemies.
"Okay!" Xiao Yan's heart trembled, but he didn't delve into it. He knew that there were some things that he was not strong enough for, and knowing in advance would only lead to death. Even if there are some secrets of the Xiao family, he is not qualified to explore them now.
"Old man, what should I call you?" Xiao Yan came to his senses and decided to become a disciple first.
"My name is Yaolao. Of course, after becoming a disciple, you should call me teacher." Yaolao said with a smile while stroking his beard.
In this way, Xiao Yan completed his apprenticeship carefully and respectfully according to etiquette. And called "Teacher!"
After Yao Lao accepted Xiao Yan's apprenticeship, he looked at the latter much more kindly. In the mainland, sometimes the friendship between master and disciple is more reliable than bloodline.
(Han Feng: "Hehehe~ Teacher, long time no see!")
"Since you call me teacher, I will naturally not break your promise. Now prepare some medicinal materials. Three purple-leaf orchid grasses, the older the better, two bone-washing flowers, and a first-order wood magic crystal... "
"Old man, how about I take you to the alchemy hall directly? Just tell me, I'll take it!" Xiao Yan said directly as his head exploded when he heard the names of these medicinal materials.
"Okay." Yao Lao nodded, and he was extremely lucky that this little guy's family still had some wealth, otherwise he, the number one alchemist in the mainland, would be too clever to make a meal without straw!
Just as he was about to say something, Yao Lao's expression changed, "Someone is coming, I'll go back to the ring first!"
After a while, Xiao Yan saw a purple and light figure appearing in the mountains, rushing towards him.
…
"Let's go!"
"Yes!" The two figures in the distance disappeared silently.
