As Xiao Yan finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he appeared before Xiao Yi, removing the black robe he wore.
"Brother Yi, how could that be you!"
"Just now I thought someone was targeting me..."
Xiao Yan was utterly shocked.
Xiao Yi merely smiled and said, "This isn't a good place to talk. I think we should go to our old spot..."
Xiao Yan nodded. The familiar back mountain of the Xiao Family.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan sat slumped together on the familiar cliff edge, just as they always did.
"Brother Yi, how could it be you!"
"And how did you manage to find me..."
Xiao Yan was utterly shocked, as he believed he had concealed himself perfectly.
Xiao Yi merely smiled: "You brat, do you think I wouldn't recognize you?"
"Also, the flame you threw at me just now wasn't an ordinary flame, was it..."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yan with a mischievous grin.
Xiao Yan also looked back at Xiao Yi with a similar grin and whispered:
"Brother Yi, since you knew that wasn't an ordinary flame, how were you still able to block it?"
Immediately, Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan shared a knowing look and burst into laughter.
After a moment, Xiao Yan finally spoke softly:
"Teacher, come out..."
"You've already been discovered..."
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, a white light flashed from Xiao Yan's storage ring, and an old man dressed in white robes slowly materialized.
It was none other than the former number one Alchemist of the Central Plains, Venerable Yao, Yao Chen!
When Yao Chen appeared, his expression was slightly solemn as he carefully examined Xiao Yi.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi also spoke softly:
"Ancestor, this person is named Xiao Yan, and he is also a member of my Xiao Clan. Could you show yourself for a moment!"
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, a tremendously powerful force surged from the storage ring on his finger, and immediately, Xiao Xuan's figure slowly emerged.
The moment Xiao Xuan appeared, a hint of terror instantly flashed across Yao Lao's face.
Yao Lao could clearly feel that although the man before him was also a Soul body, the aura emanating from him indicated that his strength during his lifetime was terrifyingly immense.
So terrifying that it even made Yao Lao's Heaven-level Soul Power feel fear.
Xiao Xuan's intimidating gaze swept over Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
Then he said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yan, a decent name, but why does his strength feel somewhat weaker than yours..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi softly replied, "That is because Xiao Yan is my cousin, slightly younger than me, so naturally his strength is not as great as mine..."
Xiao Xuan did not dwell on this point, and the next second, he fixed his gaze back on Yao Chen.
As soon as Xiao Xuan's extremely oppressive gaze fell upon him, Yao Lao's translucent figure couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After a moment, Xiao Xuan finally spoke in a deep voice:
"Number eleven on the strange fire ranking list, Bone Chilling Flame... Are you an Alchemist?"
"Judging from your aura, you seem to be a member of the Medicine Clan?"
Hearing this, Yao Lao dared not show the slightest negligence, immediately cupping his hands and saying:
"Senior, my name is Yao Chen. I am indeed from the Medicine Clan, but I was kicked out of the Medicine Clan long ago..."
"I once perished due to certain reasons and transformed into a Soul state. It was only out of necessity that I relied on the strength of your clan's descendant to awaken. I hope Senior does not hold it against me..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said, "No matter. I can perceive that you have no intention of harming my descendant..."
"Your Soul Power is not weak either, likely Heaven-level. Your strength must be that of an eighth-grade Peak Alchemist. Such strength is not considered too weak even in the Medicine Clan. That old man Yao Dan truly doesn't know what he's missing..."
Xiao Xuan's tone was extremely flat.
Hearing this, Yao Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
After all, the person in front of him could see right through him with just a single glance.
It was clear how terrifying his Soul Power must be.
Moreover, he could discern his origins in the Medicine Clan and even directly call the Yao Clan Chief, Yao Dan, an old man.
From this, it was clear that this powerful figure must be an ultimate powerhouse!
"May I ask Senior's name?"
Yao Lao bowed slightly and asked with extreme respect.
Xiao Xuan paused slightly, then said softly:
"Xiao Xuan!"
Hearing the two words Xiao Xuan, Yao Lao's reaction was exactly the same as Xiao Yi's had been.
Although he was a Soul body, it was still visible that Yao Lao's translucent body began to tremble.
Because the name Xiao Xuan was an extremely terrifying existence even among the Ancient Eight Clans!
Yao Lao originated from the Medicine Clan, so he naturally had heard about Xiao Xuan's deeds.
After all, he was the existence closest to a Dou Di a thousand years ago, but unfortunately, he failed his attempt to reach Dou Di, was ambushed by the Hun Clan, and perished. Since then, the Xiao Clan was removed from the Ancient Eight Clans...
Yao Lao never expected that the young lad he had been deceiving would actually be Xiao Xuan's descendant!
Fortunately, the current Xiao Xuan held no killing intent toward him; otherwise, if Xiao Xuan just lifted a finger, he would probably be utterly destroyed in body and Soul!
"Junior, Yao Chen."
"Greetings to Clan Chief Xiao Xuan!"
Yao Lao did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately cupping his hands and bowing respectfully to greet him.
Xiao Yan was utterly confused at this moment; he completely failed to understand why Yao Lao was adopting such a subservient posture upon seeing this person.
Hadn't Yao Lao told him that his strength and status were very high, and that even Pill King Gu He was nothing but a fart in front of him!
Xiao Yi, meanwhile, smiled slightly and said:
"Little Yanzi, shouldn't you quickly greet our Ancestor as well?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also bowed just like Yao Lao had:
"Xiao Yan greets Ancestor!"
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and waved his hand: "No need to be so polite..."
"Looking at this situation, have you accepted this young man as your Disciple?"
Xiao Xuan looked at Yao Lao and asked in a deep voice.
Yao Lao nodded: "Yes, this young man has good talent, especially in alchemy."
"If Senior does not approve..."
Before Yao Lao could finish speaking, Xiao Xuan interrupted him:
"Hey! I certainly didn't mean that!"
"Alchemists are great! Little Fellow, you must follow your teacher and properly learn alchemy!"
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice.
He then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yi and continued:
"Then what do you think of this young man's talent? The Fire attribute Dou Qi in his body is very vigorous! Can he learn alchemy alongside you?"
As Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Yao Lao's gaze also fell upon Xiao Yi: "This young man's talent is also excellent. If Senior trusts me, I will certainly impart all my alchemy knowledge!"
Only then did Xiao Yi realize that Xiao Xuan had found him another master specializing in alchemy?
"Little Fellow, why do you seem unwilling? Do you know how high the status of an Alchemist is on this continent?"
Seeing Xiao Yi slightly distracted, Xiao Xuan patted Xiao Yi's head.
"Of course I am willing! It is Junior's honor to be able to follow Venerable Yao and learn alchemy!"
Xiao Yi's mouth curved slightly upward as he spoke softly.
As soon as he said this, he not only agreed to Xiao Xuan's arrangement but also elevated Yao Lao's status.
Hearing this, Yao Lao also nodded with great satisfaction.
Only Xiao Yan stood in the center of the group, looking utterly bewildered.
