Xiao Yan left the hall absentmindedly, and as usual, he climbed up the back mountain, sat on the mountain wall, and looked at the mountains shrouded in light mist. That was the famous gathering place of magic beasts in the Jia Ma Empire, the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

He sighed deeply, confused. Although he was full of ambition in the hall, he knew very well in his heart that it was almost impossible for him to defeat Nalan Yanran in three years.

On the tree behind him, the girl in black was staring at him with wide eyes.

She communicated with the spirit insects in the bone flame ring in her heart: "Don't play dead, hurry up, come out and accept Master Xiao Yan as your apprentice!"

The spirit insect sent back a message: "Although we succeeded in parasitizing, we did not control Yao Chen. This is the gap in souls. We just successfully integrated into his soul... What he thinks and sees, we can sense it synchronously."

"Ah? Is that so..." Xiao Meng was slightly disappointed.

"Don't worry, he already has this intention. Also, don't contact me too frequently, Yao Chen will see something... He just found out that I was talking to something... He just couldn't lock it."

"Don't use 'thing' to describe me, I'm not a thing... Bah..."

"Has this intention? That's fine." Xiao Meng was relieved.

"Hehe... This world is like this, you just have a deeper understanding now, don't you?" A voice suddenly sounded.

The voice was a little ethereal, as if it came from all directions.

"Who?" Xiao Yan looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.

An illusory figure floated out of the dark and simple ring in his hand.

This is a transparent and old figure, wearing a monocle on his right eye, with a faint smile on his face. He has a head of white hair and a noble temperament, giving people a sense of immortality.

Xiao Yan was shocked. Although he knew that this was a world with magical power, he had never seen this scene before.

"Ghost..."

Subconsciously, he took a few steps back and looked at the other party in shock.

"Wait... did you come out of the ring?" Xiao Yan suddenly discovered the blind spot and his face became gloomy.

His talent did not disappear, but his fighting spirit disappeared strangely. He could not find the reason. Now such a ghost thing appeared, it was hard not to connect the two.

"Did you do something wrong with my fighting spirit disappear?"

"Yes! It was me." Yao Chen had a smile on his face, and he had no sense of being caught for doing bad things.

"Asshole, you are responsible for the bullying and ridicule I have suffered in the past three years!"

"Don't be so excited... Without the low point of these three years, would you have the forbearance and mind you have now?" Yao Chen had a smiling face.

Xiao Yan frowned. This was true. Some things can only be understood after they are lost. After being angry, he quickly calmed down.

Then came joy, because his talent was back. But besides the joy, there are also indelible worries. Even if the talent is back, it is still slim to pass the family's adult ceremony in a year, and to defeat Nalan Yanran in Yunlan Sect in three years, because too much time has been wasted.

"Accept a disciple, accept a disciple, accept a disciple..." Xiao Meng, who was hiding in the tree, kept muttering in his heart.

"Although I don't know who you are and what kind of existence you are, I can't afford to support you, a great god, so I'll find another unlucky guy." Xiao Yan took off the ring, hesitated for a moment, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but still threw it to Yao Chen.

"Little kid, do you want to be my apprentice? Even if you recover your talent, it will be difficult to regain your former dignity and glory in a short time..."

"Be your apprentice?" Xiao Yan had a suspicious look on his face, "You are not just looking for a reason to continue to absorb my Dou Qi, are you?"

Yao Chen laughed dumbly: "When I was at my weakest, your Dou Qi might be my life-saving straw, but now... it is not very useful. Do you... want to become an alchemist?"

There was a hint of temptation in his tone.

Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Are you saying that I have reached the conditions for an alchemist?"

In the Dou Qi Continent, there is also a profession called alchemist. They can refine all kinds of magical pills and are sought after by countless people.

But the conditions for becoming an alchemist are quite harsh. You must have the fire attribute and a hint of wood.

The attributes of the human body in the Dou Qi Continent depend on their souls. A soul generally has only one attribute and no other attributes are mixed.

And the soul attribute of fire with wood required by the alchemist can only be possessed by soul mutations.

In addition to the mutant soul with wood in the fire, it is also necessary to have a strong soul perception, or soul shaping power.

Only those who have the above two have the potential to become an alchemist.

"Of course, otherwise why would I ask such a question?" Yao Chen said with a smile.

Even with Xiao Yan's concentration, it is difficult to remain calm at this moment. There is a tremor in his tone: "Really? I really have the talent of an alchemist?"

Really, more real than pearls... Xiao Meng answered in his heart.

Become a disciple, become a disciple, become a disciple quickly... and then take off!

Yao Chen stroked his beard. Xiao Yan's current shocked and ecstatic look made him very satisfied. It is also fun to tease the little guy occasionally...

"Well, it just barely meets the conditions."

"If you want to become an alchemist, you must also be taught by an alchemist. Are you also an alchemist, old man? I wonder... what rank?" Xiao Yan asked with some respect.

"What grade? I don't remember. Do you want to learn?" Yao Chen replied lazily.

"Learn, learn!" Xiao Yan nodded happily, just like Sun Wukong in front of Bodhi Patriarch.

"Hehe, then let's become my disciple."

"And become my disciple?"

"Nonsense, how can I teach you everything if you don't become my disciple?"

Xiao Yan curled his lips. He still had a little doubt about this mysterious old man, but he still performed the ceremony of becoming my disciple respectfully.

Then Yao Lao made a brief self-introduction and told Xiao Yan how to reach the seventh stage of Dou Qi within a year.

"Three complete purple-leafed orchid grass, two bone-washing flowers, a first-level wood magic core..." After repeating what Yao Lao asked him to prepare, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched:

"These things together, I'm afraid there must be thousands of gold coins... Do you think I'm a prince of the royal family? I've only saved two hundred gold coins over the years."

Originally, he could have saved more, but because he gave it to Xiao Meng, he lost a lot.

Xiao Yan usually has quite a bit of pocket money, which is more than enough to buy some small things in life, but it seems to be a drop in the bucket when it comes to things related to cultivation.

"Money..." The black-clothed girl hidden in the dark frowned, she didn't have that either...

"Do you have money?" She communicated with other spirit insects.

The spirit insect moved its body and was silent for a while: "I'm just a worm."

"There should be quite a few Wumengs, and the Mitel Auction House is under his control." Xiao Meng muttered to himself.

Wumeng is the abbreviation of Amon, the general manager of Wutan City.

There are also differences in status among Amons. The will of all Amons is above everything, followed by the main body, followed by those with personalities similar to the main body, who are given authority and are responsible for a certain area or certain things for him.

The next is to undertake special tasks, and finally the ordinary Amon split body, most of which maintain the form of spirit insects...

Because once entering the parasitic state, it will stop growing, so the Amons still maintain a very cautious attitude towards whether to parasitize, unless the total amount has reached the upper limit.

The Spirit Worm said speechlessly: "You don't have to worry about such trivial matters..."

"These are all tasks of the main body... How can I not worry about them?"

"Has the main body issued such tasks?"

"Yes! He asked us to befriend Xiao Yan and promote his growth... Am I not worrying about the improvement of his strength?" Xiao Meng argued.

"But promoting his strength growth does not mean being a nanny." The Spirit Worm retorted.

"Our underlying logic is subject to the main body, but the specific methods and means of achieving it are our own business. Just tell me whether my approach is in line with the main body's strategic goals?"

The Spirit Worm thought for a while and replied: "Yes."

"That's it? I did it perfectly!" Xiao Meng said confidently.

Xiao Yan was worrying about how to get money without exposing Yao Lao, and saw Xun'er like an elf in the mountains, lightly flying down the mountain, and soon came to the edge of the cliff, where Xiao Yan was.

She looked at Xiao Yan and felt that there was something more in him...

Confidence!

Brother Xiao Yan, who had never lost his talent and was full of vigor, is back!

Xiao Xun'er smiled and said, "Looking at Brother Xiao Yan's current appearance, he doesn't need anyone to comfort him. The experience just now doesn't seem to be all bad."

Xiao Yan pinched Xun'er's cheek affectionately, "People always grow up after experiencing setbacks, Xun'er, thank you for your loyalty over the years... I'm back!"

Xun'er was stunned for a moment by Xiao Yan's sudden affectionate behavior, and then she showed a charming smile.

"It seems that you are not needed, there is a little rich woman." The laughter of the spirit insect sounded in Xiao Meng's heart.

Xiao Meng bit her lower lip with her upper lip teeth, looking a little unhappy.

Her breath fluctuated slightly, which was noticed by the two.

"Who?" Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, and he shouted vigilantly.

Someone has been hiding here and I didn't even notice it? Does that mean that the teacher's affairs have also been known?

Xiao Meng jumped down from the tree, with a leaf on her head. She smiled awkwardly, "Master, it's me."

She looked at Xun'er again and said hesitantly, "Am I here at the wrong time?"

Xiao Yan: "..."

The voice of Yao Lao suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's mind, "You little maid, seems a little strange. I didn't even notice her just now."

"How long have you been here?"

"Just...just came." Xiao Meng's eyes wandered a little, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Yan, looking like she was not good at lying.

Xiao Yan smiled lightly, "I'm here, I'm back!"

He reached out and took off the leaf on Xiao Meng's head.

Under the setting sun, the boy who regained his confidence and the beautiful girl stood on the edge of the cliff together, looking into the distance.

The boy was full of energy, confident and flamboyant, the girl in purple shirt smiled, as quiet and elegant as a lotus, and the other girl in black folded her hands behind her back, smiling even more cheerfully.

The Warcraft Mountains in the distance contrasted with the golden and red sunset in the sky, and seemed a little dark.

The sun gradually set, shadows rose, and the entire mountain range sank into black.

"It's dark... Let's go back."

"Yes, let's go back."

"Let's go."
