Chapter 140 Going home for the New Year
"Hello, my name is Xiao Xun'er, and I'm happy to meet you too." Xun'er gave Xiao Yan a fierce look, then smiled and said to Xiao Yixian.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Yixian, and I'm happy to meet you." Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan, then greeted Xun'er with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan has been out for training for more than a year. I really want to know his experience. Can you tell me?" Xiao Xun'er said to Xiao Yixian with a smile.

"Haha, of course. I also want to know what Xiao Yan was like in the past!" Little Medical Fairy said with a smile.

"Then let's go to my place!" Xiao Xun'er took Xiao Yixian's hand and walked straight towards her residence.

Xiao Yan looked at the two people who were like good sisters, and suddenly his mind was a little confused.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to catch up, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Xun'er turned around at the same time and looked at Xiao Yan. Two soul attacks comparable to heavenly level directly hit Xiao Yan, scaring him so much that he stayed where he was, not daring to move.

"Yan'er, you are so lucky!" Xiao Zhan walked up to Xiao Yan and teased.

When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Xun'er rushing out of her room and then running straight towards the back mountain, he knew that it might be Xiao Yan who came, so he naturally followed.

However, Xiao Zhan was very tactful and did not disturb the two of them. Instead, he waited until Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yixian left before slowly walking out.

"Oh! What a good fortune! I'm so worried about it!" Xiao Yan said with a helpless smile.

"What is there to worry about? Just take them all in. Besides, I don't think there's anything abnormal about Xun'er. That little medical fairy is also very good! She's like a little fairy, and it makes people feel comfortable just by looking at her." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"Nothing is abnormal, that's the biggest abnormality!" Xiao Yan was in a lot of trouble at this moment. When Xiao Yan faced 100,000 soldiers, he was not like this now, he was completely blind and didn't know what to do.

"It's all Old Ling's fault! When I become stronger, I will definitely teach you a lesson and let you know why the flowers are so red." Xiao Yan said to himself.

"Xun'er is a sensible girl, I don't think she will blame you." Xiao Zhan consoled her. Although he himself did not quite believe it, because Xun'er's identity was there!
"I hope so!" Xiao Yan said with a sigh.

"Yan'er, I can't feel your strength now. I guess you have improved a lot in this year!" Xiao Zhan smiled and changed the subject.

“It’s okay! I barely broke through to the Fighting Master level. But don’t tell anyone else about this. Many people were watching me while I was out for training this time! If my strength improves too quickly and people link it to us, our Xiao family will be in dire straits!” Xiao Yan said calmly.

"What...what? Fighting Master?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. He thought that Xiao Yan was already very powerful to be promoted to a seven-star fighter, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him.

"Are the enemies we encountered outside very powerful?" Xiao Zhan asked in a low voice after being surprised.

“Haha, it’s not much weaker than the Yunlan Sect!” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"How did you provoke such a strong enemy?" Xiao Zhan was speechless. He went out for training once, and provoked an enemy who was no less powerful than the Yunlan Sect.

"Don't worry too much. I'm using a fake name and a fake appearance. As long as I don't reveal my true strength, they won't think of us." Xiao Yan comforted Xiao Zhan when he saw that he was very scared.

"Well! I am very relieved about you on this point." Xiao Zhan nodded. He knew that Xiao Yan was meticulous and would not do anything to harm the family.

"Is the family doing well these days?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Some time ago, the Jialie family made a comeback. They invited a first-class alchemist from somewhere. He not only cured those people who were injured by Jialie last time, but also helped the Jialie family to refine healing medicines. The Xiao family market was hit hard at that time and was almost bankrupt. However, I found a lot of healing medicines in your room, which temporarily eased the Jialie family's offensive against the Xiao family. These healing medicines were left by you on purpose, right?" Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"I'm just being cautious!" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile. "I didn't expect you to be an alchemist. It really surprises me. Now there is hope for the Xiao family to be revived!" Xiao Zhan said with an excited smile.

"Well! I have an alchemist as my teacher. These are some pills my teacher has made recently. I have marked the effects on them. Father, please take care of the distribution. Some of them can help people below the level of Grand Fighter Master to improve their cultivation speed, and there are also some healing and recovery pills." Xiao Yan took off a storage ring from his finger and handed it to Xiao Zhan.

"This..." Xiao Zhan looked at the storage ring that Xiao Yan handed over, feeling slightly hesitant.

"What? Does father still want to be polite to me? If father really doesn't want it, then I will take it back." He smiled and made a gesture to take it back.

Xiao Zhan snatched the ring away, took a quick look at it, and was so shocked that he was speechless. He saw that the ring was filled with various kinds of pills.

"This is too much! The total value of these pills must be more than 30 million gold coins." Xiao Zhan widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan.

"After a while, my teacher will refine some pills that can improve the strength of the Grand Fighting Master. I will ask for some for my father at that time, so that he can reach the Fighting Spirit level sooner," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Okay! Thank your master for me and ask him to visit the Xiao family when he has time. So what level of alchemist are you now?" Xiao Zhan said excitedly after putting away the pills.

“Let’s just say it’s the second grade!” Xiao Yan was afraid of scaring Xiao Zhan to death, so he tried to lower the price.

"Second...second grade!" Xiao Zhan was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

Xiao Zhan had a deep understanding of how powerful an alchemist was. A first-grade alchemist almost bankrupted the Xiao family.

But now Xiao Yan has reached the second rank! Xiao Zhan knows exactly what this means. Even Master Gu Ni of Miter Auction House is only the second rank. Doesn't this mean that Xiao Yan is equivalent to Gu Ni?
As long as Xiao Yan shouted that he was a second-grade alchemist, their Xiao family would take off instantly.

However, Xiao Zhan knew that this could not be told to anyone, so he could only make his fortune quietly and accumulate strength.

"Everything we say now must be kept confidential, otherwise the consequences will be serious." Xiao Yan didn't want to hide anything from his father Xiao Zhan, because he was someone Xiao Yan recognized.

"Father knows all this." Xiao Zhan nodded solemnly.

"What is the current situation of the Xiao family?" Xiao Yan asked.

"With the help of your magical healing medicines, the Xiao family is now barely tied with the Galie family, and even has the upper hand." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"That's good! Since it's a stalemate, I won't interfere too much." Xiao Yan nodded.

"But the healing medicine you refined is so effective. Although it has been diluted many times, it is still much better than that of the Gale family. The healing medicine you left behind sold very quickly, but after being diluted, one becomes a hundred, so only half of it has been sold so far." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"This is for you, five million gold coins!" Xiao Zhan handed Xiao Yan a card.

“I’m not short of gold coins, so I’d better keep them for developing the family! This time when I return to the family, I will only act secretly, and I won’t act too strong. I don’t know about other people in the imperial capital, but the Nalan family will definitely find out about our situation in real time. If they find something wrong, we will be in danger.” Xiao Yan said.
