Chapter 5 You guessed right, I can see everything.
"Don't be nervous. Now that you've shown yourself, I keep my word and won't kill you."
Seeing the old doctor's tense expression, Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
Hearing this, the old doctor remained vigilant.
He wasn't as easily fooled as a three-year-old, especially after being betrayed by Han Feng; he found it very difficult to trust others now.
"Relax, I can indeed spare your life, but the fact that you absorbed the fighting spirit of my Xiao family cannot be easily let go."
Upon hearing this, the old apothecary remained silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "So, what does this senior mean?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Just do as you planned, and teach him everything you know."
The old apothecary frowned slightly. His previous thoughts?
How could the person in front of me know that I wanted to take Xiao Yan as my disciple and teach him the art of alchemy?
"Don't be surprised. I also know that your name is Yao Chen, the master of Xingyun Pavilion, and you have a treacherous disciple named Han Feng."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yao Lao's heart was filled with shock.
"Has this senior been watching me for a long time?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I've been in seclusion for the past 30,000 years. I haven't had time to pay attention to a mere Dou Zun, even if he's an eighth-grade alchemist."
"An eighth-grade alchemist?!" Xiao Yan's gaze towards Yao Lao instantly changed.
The old doctor was a little confused. If he hadn't paid attention, how did he know?
Is it...
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "You guessed right, I can see everything in your memories."
The old doctor was immediately stunned.
Xiao Yan also looked shocked, and then a sudden tremor ran through his heart.
Does that mean the ancestor already knows that he is a time traveler?
"Now, it's your turn to make a choice." Xiao Chen looked at Yao Lao with a smile.
The old doctor remained silent.
After a moment, he looked at Xiao Yan and asked seriously, "Little guy, do you want to become an alchemist?"
"An alchemist?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback, then frowned deeply: "In the Dou Qi Continent, everyone wants to become an alchemist, but can just anyone become an alchemist? Those stringent requirements..."
He suddenly paused, then looked up sharply: "I achieved it?"
Greatly appreciating Xiao Yan's expression, which was a mixture of shock, anticipation, and ecstasy, Yao Lao stroked his beard and thought for a moment before sighing with a hint of difficulty, "Who told me to owe you a favor? Your Xiao family patriarch has long seen through my intentions, so I have no choice but to admit it. In fact, I really do want to take you as my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy.
From the conversation just now, he already knew that the old man in front of him was a Dou Zun and also an eighth-grade alchemist.
Having such a master as a teacher is quite a privilege.
It should be noted that the owner of the Qi Gathering Powder in Nalan Yanran's hand in the hall earlier, Pill King Gu He, was only a sixth-grade alchemist.
He is considered the number one alchemist in the Gama Empire.
"Hehe, you're willing? If you're willing, then become my disciple." Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Chen, then smiled at Xiao Yan.
It seems that I have no other choice now.
"Do I need to become an apprentice?"
"Nonsense, you expect me to teach you everything without even becoming your disciple? Dream on!" Yao Lao rolled his eyes.
Clearly, even with Xiao Chen by his side, the somewhat pedantic Yao Lao still valued this master-disciple relationship.
At worst, I'll just die.
He, Yao Chen, had already died once.
I'm not afraid anymore.
With a helpless pursed lip, Xiao Yan had no choice but to respectfully perform the apprenticeship ceremony before Yao Lao.
"Very good. Now that the apprenticeship ceremony is complete, Xiao Yan is your disciple, and you have officially joined our Xiao family," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor finally realized that this was an attempt to recruit him.
And this kind of operation?
"Alright, from now on, I'll be in charge of Xiao Yan's cultivation, and you'll be in charge of his alchemy. Alchemy definitely requires a different kind of fire, so you should have him learn your 'Burning Flame Technique'."
Upon hearing that Xiao Chen even knew the "Burning Technique," Elder Yao was completely convinced that this ancestor of the Xiao family was truly a person with extraordinary abilities.
Xiao Yan, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. What was this Burning Technique?
However, he did know about the strange fire.
Could it be that I too can possess a different kind of fire?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan became excited again.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen mention cultivation, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said solemnly, "Although your Dou Qi has been declining over the past three years, it is precisely because of this that your foundation is more solid than that of ordinary people. In Dou Qi cultivation, a solid foundation is of paramount importance! In the future, you will realize just how much benefit these three years of declining strength have brought you!"
Xiao Yan was somewhat taken aback; he really didn't know what benefits a decline in strength could bring him.
"He's right. You two can go down and talk slowly. Call your father in." Xiao Chen decided to let the master and disciple get to know each other better first.
"Yes, Ancestor."
Soon, Xiao Zhan walked in.
He had already arranged the best accommodations for Xiao Chen.
"Ancestor, why don't we go to your residence first?"
"Alright," Xiao Chen readily agreed.
Although the small courtyard that Xiao Zhan arranged for Xiao Chen was not large, it had a beautiful environment and nice scenery.
If you really compare, Xiao Chen felt that the environment was much better than the one he lived in with his master.
After all, Su Qingxue only arranged a simple thatched hut for Xiao Chen.
They lived there for 30,000 years!
It's not that Su Qingxue is stingy; after all, she herself doesn't care about living conditions at all.
"Ancestor, the Xiao family is now just a small family in Wutan City. Please make do for now."
"I've wronged our ancestor."
Xiao Zhan looked ashamed.
"It's alright, this place is quite nice," Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.
"I'm glad you're satisfied, Ancestor," Xiao Zhan said shamelessly.
He actually felt that his ancestor was probably just trying to comfort him.
"By the way, Ancestor, I have something else here that is related to you."
"Hmm? Could it be that ancient jade?"
"Ancestor, you actually know about ancient jade?" Xiao Zhan's face showed a look of doubt.
He remembered that this ancient jade had only appeared a thousand years ago.
"This... I sensed it as soon as I entered the Xiao family," Xiao Chen said without batting an eye.
He suddenly realized that there was no such person as Tuoshegudi 30,000 years ago!
No, it's not as popular as Tuoshegudi yet!
"I see." Xiao Zhan suddenly realized.
Xiao Chen nodded. If it wasn't the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, then what could it be?
"Our ancestors left us an instruction that if you, ancestor, were to return, this item must be handed over to you."
"Um?"
Ancestral precepts?
It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the original work.
"What is it?" Xiao Chen's curiosity was piqued.
Xiao Zhan took out the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Chen with both hands.
"Now that the Ancestor has returned, the ancient jade will be entrusted to him for safekeeping."
Xiao Chen accepted it without any hesitation.
He had originally intended to ask for it.
That saves us from having to waste our breath.
Then, Xiao Zhan took out a jade box and handed it to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took it and opened it immediately.
But they discovered that what was inside was actually a sheet of gold paper.
Although it's gold paper, it looks quite ordinary and nothing special.
Xiao Chen couldn't quite tell what material it was made of.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen discovered that there seemed to be some kind of strange connection between his body and the gold paper.
Xiao Chen had never felt this way before!
