Fight to break the sky

"Alchemist?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled and immediately frowned: "In Dou Qi Continent, everyone wants to become an alchemist, but can anyone become an alchemist? Those harsh conditions..." The words Suddenly, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth: "Have I achieved it?"

I really admired Xiao Yan's shocked expression mixed with expectation and ecstasy. The old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then looked up and down. Then he seemed to be embarrassed and sighed: "Although I'm just barely qualified, who asked me to I owe you a favor, well, that’s all, just think of it as repaying the debt of favor..."

Glancing sideways at the reluctant old man, Xiao Yan always felt that what the old guy said was barely qualified was a bit false. However, at this time, he was too lazy to ask further. Apart from being happy, he still had some doubts: "Even if I have met the conditions, but alchemists are usually taught by teachers step by step. Are you also an alchemist?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's doubtful little face, the old man chuckled, his chest puffed up slightly, and there was a hint of pride in his voice: "Yes, I am an alchemist!"

Blinking his eyes, Xiao Yan looked at the old man and his eyes suddenly brightened up. Alchemist, that is a rare creature...

"Old sir, may I ask, what level of alchemist were you before?" Xiao Yan licked his lips, and his childish voice was more polite.

In Dou Qi Continent, although alchemists are rare, due to their noble status, there is also a clear hierarchy. From low to high, they are divided into grades one to nine. The owner of the Qi Gathering Powder in Nalan Yanran's hand in the hall previously was Dan Wang Guhe. , is a sixth-grade alchemist, the number one person in the alchemy world of the Jiama Empire.

"What grade? Hehe, I can't remember... Hey, little guy, are you going to learn or not?" Shaking his head, the old man suddenly asked impatiently.

"study!"

Xiao Yan no longer hesitated, and his little head hurriedly moved. Alchemists, even those with a huge force like Yunlan Sect, must be regarded as precious and distinguished figures.

"Hehe, are you willing? If you are willing, then you can become a disciple." The old man crossed his legs on a piece of bluestone and said with a sly smile.

"Do you still want to become a disciple?"

"Nonsense, you want me to teach you everything without becoming a disciple. What are you dreaming about?" The old man rolled his eyes. Obviously, the old man with a somewhat pedantic temperament cares about this master-disciple relationship.

He curled his lips helplessly. In order to become a distinguished alchemist, Xiao Yan had no choice but to respectfully bow to the old man.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had completed all the etiquette, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and his voice was a little more cordial: "My name is Yaolao. As for my origin, I'd better not tell you now, lest you Distracted, you just need to know that stuff like that, which is called the Alchemy King, is actually... it's just bullshit."

The corners of his mouth twitched. Xiao Yan looked at the old man's casual look and swallowed the words he was about to say: "What is the origin of this old man? The famous Alchemy King Furukawa of the Gama Empire is a fart...? If you let go of these words, If you go out, I'm afraid you will be laughed at by the entire Jia Ma Empire as a lunatic, right?"

Taking a breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, salivated, and said hey: "I wonder how the teacher plans to let me reach the seventh level of fighting spirit in one year?"

"Although your fighting spirit has been declining in the past three years, it is precisely because of this that your foundation is more solid than ordinary people. The foundation is the most important thing in fighting spirit cultivation! In the future, you will be able to notice that these three What benefits has this year's decline in strength brought to you!" Yao Lao's smile slowly faded and he said seriously.

Xiao Yan was a little stunned. He really didn't know what benefits a regression in strength would bring to him.

"Then when will you teach me the art of alchemy?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and focused on the most important thing.

"If you want to become an alchemist, you must have the support of flame fighting spirit. Therefore, before learning the art of alchemy, you must at least become a fighter and practice a fire attribute fighting spirit technique!"

"Fire attribute skills? Hehe, teacher, since I am your disciple, why don't you give me the heaven-level fire attribute skills to practice?" Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and begged with a smile.

"What the hell, your first-level skills are like wild potatoes on the ground? Thank you for opening your mouth!" Hearing this, Yao Lao's face trembled and he cursed in a dumbfounded way.

"Old man, now that I have joined your sect, you can't let me go to the clan to find the skills, right? The top fire attribute skills in our family, I remember, they are only at the yellow level. This is too shabby. Right?" Xiao Yan had a small face, very depressed.

"Baby, you're a teacher, not an old man!"

He rolled his eyelids angrily at Xiao Yan's name. Yao Lao didn't expect that this little guy would come up to him just after he became his master.

"Hmph, since you have joined my sect, you will naturally not be humbled. I don't have any heaven-level skills! But I do have a kind of skill that is even weirder than the heaven-level skills. Do you want to learn it?" He snorted lightly. , Yao Lao's cloudy old eyes were suddenly full of conspiracy.

"Is it even weirder than the heaven-level skills?"

His heart skipped a beat, Xiao Yan swallowed, his black eyes inadvertently turned hot: "What level of skill is that?"

"Huang-level low-level." Yao Lao's smile made Xiao Yan's face suddenly stiffen.

"Old man, are you kidding me?"

A moment later, the young man's angry roar sounded from the top of the mountain.

Looking at the little guy in front of him whose face was distorted with anger, Yao Lao smiled proudly. He felt quite accomplished for being able to make Xiao Yan, who was as calm as a little monster, angry like this.

"What's so weird about that technique?" Looking at Yao Lao's joking face, Xiao Yan suddenly calmed down and asked with a frown.

"It can evolve!" After a slight silence, Yao Lao said with a smile.

His pupils shrank sharply, and Xiao Yan stared at the Yao Lao in front of him without blinking. After a while, he shook his head: "Impossible! I have never heard of any technique that has the ability to evolve! "

"Hey, what do you know, little guy? The Dou Qi Continent is extremely vast, and there are countless strange people and strange things. In the eyes of you, a little guy who has never been out of the Jia Ma Empire, there are so many things that are impossible." Yao Lao said disdainfully. sarcastically.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then said unconvinced: "Have you ever heard of other techniques that can evolve?"

Yao Lao's smile froze slightly. After a moment, he shook his head with a dry smile and said, "It's just because I don't have it that I can show the uniqueness of my technique!"

"Can it really evolve?" Looking at Yao Lao's serious face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask again.

"It can really evolve!" Yao Lao nodded with certainty.

"Have you practiced?" Xiao Yan asked again.

"Uh... no." Yao Laogan smiled and shook his head.

"Then others have practiced?"

"Uh...no."

Veins were bulging on his forehead. Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly and resisted the urge to punch him. There was suppressed anger in his voice: "No one has practiced it, so how do you know it can evolve?"

"This is how it was introduced in terms of skills." Yao Lao said with a sly smile.

"Is there really such a technique?" Xiao Yan frowned tightly, hesitated for a moment, then rolled his dark eyes and said, "Can you let me have a look?"

"Hehe..." He glanced at Xiao Yan who was full of curiosity with a strange smile. Yao Lao's mouth cracked, but his words suddenly changed: "Forget it, it's useless for you to see it now, I'd better wait until you become a fighter. When the time comes, I’ll pass it on to you again.”

The outstretched palm was a little stiff, and the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched fiercely for a long time before he forced out two words from between his teeth: "You are cruel!"

After laughing heartily for a few times, Yao Lao ignored Xiao Yan's angry black eyes and said with a smile: "The task now is to cultivate your fighting spirit to the seventh level within one year."

"What can you do?" Xiao Yan forced down his curiosity about the mysterious technique and asked through gritted teeth.

"The practice of Dou Qi in the first stage is mainly to expand the meridians and exercise the body, strengthen the veins, and lay the foundation for condensing Dou Qi in the body in the future. Since the human body is at this age, the veins in the body are the most fragile and plastic, so this training program , we must follow the rules gradually and cannot take any external measures. Otherwise, when the Dou Qi in the body gradually becomes stronger in the future, the veins will not be able to withstand the impact of the more powerful Dou Qi, which will eventually lead to the death of the people!" Yao Lao's face was solemn. road.

Regarding this point, Xiao Yan understood that during the three years when he became a waste, his father tried to forcefully inject fighting energy into his body several times because of his impatience, but he stopped at the critical moment every time. Therefore, Xiao Yan It's clear what's at stake.

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan, who had a calm face, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "For other people, this is true, but you are different. The foundation in your body was already solid and reliable three years ago. , and in the past few years, you have been very determined and have never missed a day of practice, so now your foundation, as a teacher, I can say without hesitation, is excellent!"

"Are you trying to use external force to increase my strength? For example, taking pills?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.

"Absolutely, but with the toughness of your current veins, you can't withstand the impact of any kind of pill energy, even the lowest level of Qi Gathering Powder!" Yao Lao said with a faint smile.

"The lowest level Qi Gathering Powder..." His fingers trembled, and Xiao Yan wanted to roll his eyes. The strange medicine that was copied at a sky-high price in the Jia Ma Empire turned out to be the lowest level thing in the mouth of his mysterious teacher. These two The difference between them really made Xiao Yan a little stunned.

"What about your approach?" Xiao Yan took a deep breath, regained his composure, frowned and whispered.

"Haha, the elixir is too powerful and can easily damage the veins, so we must adopt a gentler approach!" Yao Lao smiled slightly and said: "Tomorrow, prepare three complete purple-leaf orchids. The older the better, the better." Yes, two bone-washing flowers. The year of these things is random. Oh, by the way, there is also a first-level magic core of the wood type. These are low-level materials. I think you can get them... Someone is coming up. I will return the ring first. ! Also, don’t let anyone know my existence, including those closest to you.” After saying that, Yao Lao ignored Xiao Yan’s increasingly loud mouth and threw it straight into the black ring. The ring trembled slightly. It was accurately put on Xiao Yan's finger.

"Three complete purple-leaf orchid grasses? Two bone-washing flowers? One wood-type first-level magic core? Old guy, are you mistaken? Do you think I am a prince of some royal family? Add these things together, At least a thousand gold coins! After all these years of frugality, I only have a savings of four hundred gold coins, which is just enough to buy a first-level magic core!" Xiao Yan held the ring in his hands and cursed with his eyes wide open.

"That's your business, hehe. Others who have money can't buy the warming spirit liquid I prepared. I only asked you to pay for the materials, but you feel so distressed..." Yao Lao's joking laughter appeared in front of you. Xiao Yan's heart rang.

"Damn it, as expected, only rich people can afford the things prepared by the alchemist." Xiao Yan gave a helpless smile. His monthly pocket money in the Xiao family was not a lot, twenty pieces in total. Gold coins, this money, put outside, can keep a civilian family fed for a year, but using this money to buy the materials that the medicine man mentioned before is just a drop in the bucket. This is the gap!

"Alas, I can only find someone to borrow it..." Xiao Yan sighed depressedly, and slowly calmed down his emotions. His face returned to its previous calmness, and he turned his head to look at the mountain road. There, there was a purple silhouette, just like an elf. , leaping forward lightly.
