Chapter 144: Start practicing medicine

"The royal family's methods are indeed powerful, and I almost fell for them. But I thought of you, and gave up halfway. You are the most important in my heart, and I can't take the initiative to give my first time to other women." Xiao Yan touched Xun'er's little face and said seriously.

"So how far have you gone?" Xun'er smiled happily when she heard Xiao Yan say that she was the most important.

"Ahem! Do it..." Xiao Yan coughed twice awkwardly, put his mouth close to Xun'er's ear and whispered.

"Ah! Brother Xiao Yan, how could you do this!" Xun'er blushed instantly when she heard Xiao Yan's story.

"I have endured for a long time for you. I have endured both Yao Ye and Xiao Yixian. You have to compensate me!" Xiao Yan said with a wicked smile.

"Then how is Brother Xiao Yan going to compensate me!" Xun'er's face turned red.

"Well, Xun'er is still young! I won't eat you! But..." Xiao Yan whispered in Xun'er's ear.

"No..." Xun'er covered her face in shame and screamed.

Xun'er pretended to run away, but Xiao Yan hugged her in his arms, then flicked his fingers and turned off the lights.

The next morning, Xiao Yan opened the door and walked out. He breathed in some fresh air and felt refreshed. He couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

I don’t know what happened yesterday, Xun’er gave Xiao Yan a lot of rewards, so much that Xiao Yan felt it was a little unbelievable. Except for the last step, Xun’er agreed to everything Xiao Yan did, which really made Xiao Yan enjoy it.

However, Xun'er left early before dawn. Although their relationship was known to everyone, they were not married after all, so they still had to avoid suspicion.

"Is this a reward for my hard work this year?" Xiao Yan's lips curled up into a smile.

Xiao Yan looked around and looked up at the sky. He didn't find any spatial fluctuations, and he was relieved. Then he fluttered his wings and flew towards the back mountain. When he flew to the back mountain, Xiao Yan whistled and summoned Hei Yu.

Upon hearing the sound, Hei Yu immediately flew over from a distance. After seeing Xiao Yan, surprise appeared in his eyes.

"You are so lucky! I didn't expect that you could actually hatch that monster egg." Yao Lao turned into a ball of white light and floated out of the ring.

When Hei Yu saw Yao Lao, he realized that Yao Lao posed a great threat to him and looked at him with vigilance.

"Heiyu, don't be afraid. This is my teacher and he won't hurt you!" Xiao Yan stroked Heiyu's feathers and comforted him softly.

With Xiao Yan's comfort, Hei Yu finally relaxed, but he still looked at Yao Lao with some vigilance.

"Teacher, do you know what kind of monster Black Feather is?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and asked.

“I’m not sure. Black Feather seemed to have evolved from some kind of sixth-order magical beast, but it had a congenital defect, so it could never hatch. However, after being constantly nourished by your yang fire, it regained its vitality and was successfully hatched.” Yao Lao observed Black Feather for a long time before speaking slowly.

"What about its potential?" Xiao Yan asked. After all, Black Feather was only a third-level magic beast now. Although third level was not low, once Xiao Yan's strength was improved, Black Feather would not be of much use.

"Haha, with the current strength of his bloodline, it is not a problem for him to grow to the seventh level. If you continue to use the strange fire to help him improve, he will have unlimited potential in the future!" Yao Lao said with a smile.

“I’ll take you with me when I use the strange fire to forge my body in the future!” Xiao Yan was overjoyed when he heard that Hei Yu had unlimited potential.

Xiao Yan leaped up and rode directly onto Hei Yu's back, laughing loudly, "Take off!"

Hei Yu carried Xiao Yan towards the hidden valley.

Xiao Yan went to the small valley to meet Little Medical Fairy and to improve his alchemy skills to the fourth level as quickly as possible.

After Xiao Yan arrived at the small valley, he let Hei Yu go play on his own and went straight to the small thatched hut. He saw a woman in white clothes still busy in the kitchen.

Looking at the food on the table, Xiao Yan felt mixed emotions. These two girls were more sensible than the other, making Xiao Yan even drip a few drops of cat urine.

"Don't prepare anything, let's eat together!" Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Yixian from behind and said softly.

"Aren't you worried that you won't have enough to eat?" Little Medical Fairy said with a smile.

"I thought you would just leave!" Xiao Yan felt a little distressed when he saw Xiao Yixian's look. "Why? Are you disappointed that I didn't leave? You took advantage of me and don't want to take responsibility?" Xiao Yixian broke free from Xiao Yan's embrace, pinching her waist with both hands and pretending to be angry.

"Uh...you know, that's not what I meant!" Xiao Yan scratched his head and smiled helplessly.

"Hmph! I will follow you for the rest of my life. Don't even think about letting me leave!" The Little Medical Fairy snorted.

"Even if you want to run, I will find you!" Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Yixian, kissed her forehead lightly, and said with a smile.

"You're taking advantage of me again! Let's go eat!" said the Little Medical Fairy with a red face.

Xiao Yan smiled, let go of Little Medical Fairy, and sat down to eat.

The fact that he could come so early was naturally Xun'er's idea. Xun'er knew that Xiao Yan must be thinking about Xiao Yixian, so instead of letting Xiao Yan go secretly, it would be better to let him go openly.

After all, men like to have some cheating, and everything tastes better when it is done secretly. If Xiao Xun'er keeps trying to stop Xiao Yan, it will only have the opposite effect.

After the meal, Xiao Yan went directly to the cave to make the elixir. After all, he had gained so many benefits, so he naturally had to work harder, otherwise he would be unworthy of the efforts of the two women.

"Boy, that's great! There's no fire in the backyard!" Yao Lao said jokingly in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Teacher, this is love! You don't understand!" Xiao Yan said with a deep face.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Xiao Yan said, Yao Lao fell into silence.

Xiao Yan felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Then he remembered that Yao Lao's emotions were also very complicated, and he had several close female friends with whom he had love-hate relationships.

"Teacher, my alchemy level is close to the peak of the third grade. As long as I can refine a fourth-grade pill, I can advance to the fourth grade. Please check it for a while." Xiao Yan smiled and changed the subject.

“Well! You have reached the level of Dou Shi now. There will be no problem in refining fourth-grade elixirs!” After Xiao Yan entered the cave, Yao Lao turned into a ball of white light and floated out from the ring.

"Teacher, do you recognize this medicine cauldron?" Xiao Yan asked, pointing at a huge medicine cauldron in the center of the cave.

"I never thought that you could get such a good medicine cauldron." Yao Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Teacher, do you know the origin of this medicine cauldron?" Xiao Yan said happily.

"It is a cauldron formed by the natural transformation of the earth. It has a strong earth power and is called the Heart of the Earth. In terms of hardness, it is the best among all medicine cauldrons." Yao Lao said slowly.

"Heart of the Earth? This name sounds good!" Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice.

Xiao Yan guessed that the Heart of the Earth was also on the list of medicine cauldrons, but it didn’t matter whether it was or not, as long as it was hard enough, it would be fine.

Taking out the prepared medicinal materials from the storage ring, Xiao Yan prepared to start refining the medicine.

The fourth-grade elixir that Xiao Yan is going to refine this time is called Qi Gathering Powder.

Xiao Yan was extremely impressed by the Qi Gathering Powder.

When Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement, the compensation she gave was the Qi Gathering Powder, which shocked everyone in the original novel.

When Xiao Yan broke through to the level of a Fighter, he also took a Qi Gathering Powder.

Now, after a year, Xiao Yan is going to refine this kind of elixir himself.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and a ball of white flame appeared in his palm. Xiao Yan sent the flame in his palm into the medicine cauldron, and then used his soul perception to control the temperature of the flame, and then threw the Black Leaf Lotus needed to refine the Qi Gathering Powder into the flame.
