Chapter 630 Xiao Zhan meets Yao Chen
A towering mountain with an iron-gray overall color, like meteorite iron, stands in the sea of forests. At the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist are misty, and you can vaguely see sparse pavilions and towers scattered all over the mountain.
White cranes fly and circle above the towers, making clear calls.
In the largest building of Meteorite Mountain, a young Dou Zong strongman respectfully but not humbly saluted the old man sitting on the chair in front of him:
"This pharmacopoeia will compete for the first alchemist on the continent. The winner can win a volume of exercises, the exercises practiced by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.
"The person who gave this exercise wants to ask the most powerful alchemist to refine a pill for him. The reward will be a strange fire, the flame of life that all alchemists dream of!
"Since the invitation has been brought, I will not bother you any more. I look forward to your visit."
The young Dou Zong left the hall, leaving Yao Chen alone staring at the invitation in his hand in a daze.
"Pharmacopoeia..."
Yao Chen's eyes flashed, and a complex emotion rose in his heart.
Yao Chen was of course very interested in the practice of the legendary last Dou Di. The Flame of Life was also what he desired and what Xiao Yan needed.
The last and most important reason was that he wanted to engrave the names of his parents on the clan monument of the Yao Clan!
The Yao Clan has a clan monument, and only those who have made great achievements in the clan can leave their names on it. This is the lifelong goal of many people in the Yao Clan.
Yao Chen was born in the Yao Clan, and his parents both died when he was a teenager. Leaving their names on the clan monument was their expectation for Yao Chen and their last wish.
"It seems that I have to go to the Pharmacopoeia this time." Yao Chen put down the invitation, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"With your current ability, it may be difficult to win in the Pharmacopoeia." A voice sounded in the hall.
"Who?" Yao Chen's face suddenly became solemn.
Until the other party spoke, he couldn't find the other party's position. What a terrible hiding ability is this?
The void in front of him broke apart piece by piece, revealing a dark space, and a figure in a black robe walked out of the void.
The man was tall, and walked like a dragon and a tiger, giving people a heroic and majestic feeling.
The black-robed man glanced at Yao Chen and chuckled, "A four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, a mid-level soul in the heavenly realm, is indeed among the top in the entire continent, but if you want to win in such a grand event, you still need a little bit."
"Who are you?" Yao Chen raised his eyebrows, with a vigilant look in his eyes.
The mysterious man did not answer immediately, but asked: "Do you still remember that you owe someone a chance to make pills? That person gave you this body, gave you pills, and helped you in the process of resurrection."
When Yao Chen heard that the other party described the matter in such detail that only he, Xiao Yan and the senior who helped him knew, he thought that the mysterious man in front of him had a relationship with the senior. The vigilance in his eyes was much less, and his voice softened:
"What is your relationship with that senior?"
The mysterious man in black robe sighed and said in a complicated tone: "That was an ancestor of my clan... He died not long ago."
"Ah? This..." Yao Chen was stunned, looking very surprised, and then whispered: "My condolences."
"Do you recognize or not recognize the original agreement? This is also the ancestor's last wish." The mysterious man said.
Yao Chen immediately expressed his attitude: "Such a great favor, how can Yao Chen not acknowledge it? But empty words are not enough. Although you have told the story of what happened at that time, it should be a secret. The fact that you can tell it means that you have a certain degree of credibility, and I tend to believe it.
"I am willing to make pills for you... But this is not a trivial matter. Isn't it inappropriate for you to be so secretive?
"At least reveal your true identity. If I find out that you are deceiving me later, I will know who to find to settle the account."
The black-robed man nodded: "It's a reasonable request, but you must keep my identity secret and keep the things between us secret. No one can mention it, including your apprentice."
Yao Chen flashed a trace of doubt, but still nodded: "Okay."
Some people don't want others to know about the pills they make, and it is not uncommon to ask for confidentiality. Yao Chen has encountered this before. Keeping the secrets of customers is also a kind of professional ethics for pharmacists.
The black-robed man took off his hood, removed the fighting spirit that had always lingered under the hood, and revealed his true face.
Yao Chen's eyes widened, with an incredible look: "Xiao... Clan Leader Xiao?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Yao, long time no see. Yan'er thanks you for taking care of me all these years." Xiao Zhan laughed.
Yao Chen still couldn't get over it for a while. He and Xiao Yan had guessed the identity of the senior. It was possible that he was a member of the Xiao clan or a member of Xiao Meng's clan, but he didn't expect that the person who asked him to fulfill the agreement was Xiao Zhan!
"Clan Leader Xiao, why is it you?" Yao Chen did not hide his surprise in his tone.
He remembered clearly that Xiao Zhan was a great Dou Shi, and the entire Xiao family was forced into a desperate situation by Liu Xi, a low-level alchemist!
Please... collect 6... books...!
It was really difficult for him to connect this powerful man in front of him, whose depth was unknown and even he, who was now a four-star Dou Sheng, was particularly afraid of, with the head of the Xiao family!
"Haha, is it surprising? To be honest, I was also surprised that you and I would meet formally in such a situation."
I had long admired Yan'er's mysterious teacher... Xiao Zhan did not say this in order to maintain his identity.
"Xiao of the Xiao family is Xiao of the Xiao clan, one of the eight ancient clans. You don't need to be too surprised to see me under such circumstances." Xiao Zhan said lightly.
"Now that you know my true identity, can we talk about this medicine refining?"
"Yes, of course!" Yao Chen was also very enthusiastic.
After a slight pause, he asked in confusion:
"Since the Xiao clan leader has such strength, the Xiao family should be safe and sound, but I don't know why you didn't tell Xiao Yan about this?"
Xiao Zhan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a complicated tone: "It's hard for that child, but he needs some motivation. The preparations of my Xiao clan for thousands of years have all been put on him...
"If you want to be a strong man, how can you not go through some hardships? Carrying my expectations and the expectations of my clan, he, the young clan leader, has a heavy burden on his shoulders. "
Yao Chen understood in his heart that Xiao Zhan concealed the truth in order to sharpen Xiao Yan's mind and make him grow faster.
A bitter smile appeared on his face: "But you are too... too..."
"Too cruel?" Xiao Zhan took over and shook his head slightly: "I don't want this either, but time waits for no one. For the revival of the Xiao clan, the ancestor even risked his life. We, the descendants, can't just sit there and wait for nothing!"
