Chapter 5: Tell Xiao Yan, it’s just a fluke

"Liao Zhai? What is this?" Zhang Yuan asked knowingly.

"I'm also very interested." Yao Chen touched his illusory beard, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

In this Dou Qi continent, if there is any organization related to souls, it is his dead enemy Soul Palace.

The Northwest Territory is far away from Zhongzhou. This Liaozhai may be some subordinate force of the Soul Palace.

"I'm not very familiar with it either." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose out of habit and said, "I heard some storytellers and mercenaries mention it casually in the tavern."

Both Zhang Yuan and Yao Chen could tell that he was not telling the truth, but neither pursued it.

Zhang Yuan stared at Yaochen. A layer of rich purple-silver light appeared on the surface of his body, slowly sticking to the surface of his black armor, forming a special layer of gauze. There seemed to be electric arcs flashing on it, giving people a sharp look. feeling.

"Cousin, you are already a fighting master!" Xiao Yan shouted in surprise.

His tone was filled with admiration and envy, but not the slightest hint of jealousy.

Douqi gauze is the signature skill of a strong fighter, and it is also the most practical ability. After covering the whole body, it can achieve all-round combat increases in speed, defense, attack, etc.

As for the Dou Master level, although it is still at the bottom among the practitioners on the mainland, it is much better than the Dou Master at the bottom.

The point is that Zhang Yuan has already become a fighting master at the age of sixteen, and he still has a lot of time to become stronger in the future.

"He is not only a fighting master, but also a nine-star fighting master. He may break through to the great fighting master at any time." Yao Chen spoke slowly, with appreciation in his eyes.

Even in Zhongzhou, in the Xingyun Pavilion founded by him and his old friend Feng Xian, he was still a top-notch genius.

The most important thing is that he has watched Zhang Yuan grow up, and his character is completely intact, and he is not a white-eyed wolf.

"Hiss." Xiao Yan took a breath of cold air.

Nine-star fighting master, he could become a great fighting master at any time, which is about to catch up with his father Xiao Zhan, the strongest person in the Xiao family.

"Cousin, have you opened it?" Xiao Yan said.

"Open what?" Zhang Yuan pretended to be confused.

Hanging, he does have it, it is a visualization map deep in the soul.

On the visualization map, there is a majestic existence with the body of a dragon and the head of a human. When Zhang Yuan saw him for the first time, he was so blessed that he knew its identity in his heart. He was the god of thunder. According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas·Hai Nei Dong Jing", he lived in Leize. Pat your belly and it will make a thunderous sound

He discovered the existence of this visualization map when he successfully broke through the Dou Dou and awakened the first function.

You can observe it for an hour every day to improve your soul power.

When he broke through the Dou Master, he awakened a second function, a sub-fire of Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire.

The Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire is ranked 12th on the list of strange fires. It is silver in color, the weakest is a dragon form, and the strongest is the Nine Dragons form. It can swallow thunder and become stronger. If someone completely refines it, they can use the thunder to train their body.

"Nothing, I said your talent is abnormal." Xiao Yan smiled.

"It's just a fluke." Zhang Yuan smiled slightly.

Just a fluke?

Xiao Yan felt that Zhang Yuan was showing off, and he had evidence.

But it doesn't matter, this line will be his from now on.

"Who are you?" Zhang Yuan looked at Yao Chen and asked calmly.

"The name is just a code name. I have been sleeping for too long and have forgotten it." Yao Chen maintained his superior demeanor and said calmly: "You can call me Yaolao."

"Still calling you Yao Lao? You are so beautiful." Xiao Yan's face turned ferocious: "Swallowed up the fighting spirit I have refined over the years, turning me into a useless person who has always had the third level of fighting spirit. How do you explain it, old fellow?"

Yaochen was suddenly embarrassed.

At first, he actually swallowed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit unconsciously.

But after regaining consciousness, he did this deliberately. On the one hand, he wanted to regain some strength, and on the other hand, he wanted to temper and test Xiao Yan to see if he could become the disciple who helped him resurrect.

Originally, he decided to show up in these few days to accept Xiao Yan as his disciple, but was disrupted by the arrival of Nalan Yanran and the return of Zhang Yuan.

But speaking of Zhang Yuan, if his fighting spirit attribute is also fire, his character and conduct would be more in line with the standards he wants to recruit as a disciple.

"In the past, I was helpless. As compensation, I can help you reach the seventh stage of Dou Qi again within a year." Yao Chen said. (A person with a strong soul needs to wear the ring so that he can devour the fighting spirit and recover)

"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Yan looked disbelieving.

The foundation of fighting spirit training is particularly important. He is one of the two most talented people in the Xiao family in the past century.

But it took six years to practice Qi at the age of four to reach the ninth level of fighting spirit. Even if the talent has been restored now, it is impossible to cultivate to the seventh level of fighting spirit in one year.

"Have you ever heard of the Alchemist?" Yao Chen raised his head slightly.

"You mean, you are an alchemist?" Xiao Yan looked suspicious.

"Not only that, I can also make you an alchemist." Yao Chen said.

Because Zhang Yuan disrupted his plan, it was difficult for him to tell the truth.

"Are you kidding?" Xiao Yan became more and more disbelieving, but there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

Alchemists, as the name suggests, are a group of beings who can refine elixirs with various magical effects. They are divided into nine levels from low to high. Any alchemist is the target of all forces' efforts to win over.

A powerful alchemist can summon countless people seeking alchemy to drive him with just one order. He can be said to be a powerful and mobile force.

If you want to become an alchemist, you first need to have the corresponding fighting spirit attributes, and secondly, you must have strong soul perception.

In the Dou Qi Continent, everyone's Dou Qi corresponds to attributes, depending on the soul, and a soul generally has one attribute. Very rare talents have two attributes with different strengths and weaknesses. To become an alchemist, one must have a fire attribute, followed by a mixture of A trace of wood energy is used to catalyze the refining of medicine!

Among hundreds of millions of people, only one person with a mutated soul will appear, who has the innate conditions to become an alchemist.

And on this basis, the perception of the soul is also needed!

Can you actually meet such harsh conditions?

"He must not be joking." Zhang Yuan said calmly: "At least he has enough soul power perception."

"What do you say?" Xiao Yan turned into a curious baby.

Zhang Yuan explained: "In these years in the army, I have read a lot of strange stories from mainland China."

"One of the books says that the soul can also be divided into realms, namely the mortal realm, the spiritual realm, and the heavenly realm. Each realm can be divided into the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection."

It is said that if an alchemist wants to refine an eighth-grade elixir, his soul must first reach the spiritual realm, and if he wants to refine a ninth-grade elixir, his soul must reach the heavenly realm, hiss.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan suddenly took a breath of cold air, alert and surprised, and looked at Yao Chen with a hint of surprise: "Could it be that you are Master Yao who was famous in Dou Qi Continent back then!?"

Yao Chen’s smile froze:?

Xiao Yan has a family name all over his head, indicating who Master Yao is, and it sounds so cool.

"How do you know me?" Yao Chen's expression was no longer gentle, and a dark white flashed in his eyes.

His current situation is not very good. Even devouring other people's fighting spirit to restore his own soul power requires the ring to be worn by the other party, and the wearer's soul talent must be strong enough.

If Xiao Yan's strength never improves, he will only devour the fighting spirit, and even if he devours it for decades, he will not be able to recover much soul power. And he is also afraid that Xiao Yan will be hit too hard and give up on cultivation, so he plans to find time to come out soon.

Only when Xiao Yan becomes stronger and is allowed to devour Dou Qi can he recover his soul power faster and have the possibility of resurrection in the future.

But Zhang Yuan's appearance disrupted his position.

"I guessed it." Zhang Yuan replied.

"You guessed it!?" Yao Chen's expression remained unchanged, but his tone revealed disbelief.

Zhang Yuan analyzed calmly: "While training outside, I got the opportunity to let my soul grow to the great perfection of the mortal realm. It is stronger than some fifth-, sixth-, and even seventh-grade alchemists. This is why I am confident that I can find what Brother Yan cannot do." The reason for cultivation is where the confidence lies.”

"The first time I got home, I used my soul to sense Xiao Yan's whole body and found that the ring you are living in can isolate my induction. This means that the ring is of special quality, or there are creatures with stronger soul power than me. Now It seems to be the latter.”

"That is to say, senior, you at least have a spiritual soul, and you are at least an eighth-level alchemist."

"A year ago, I had the honor to see Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire, giving a public lecture. He mentioned that when he was young, he was struggling in the Dou Qi Continent and was fortunate enough to be taught by the Lord Yao for three days, but this Master Yao mysteriously disappeared decades ago.”

"The ring you are living in was bought by my grandfather at a stall and given to my father. My father gave it to my aunt when she got married, and finally fell into the hands of Brother Yan. I remember that the time was exactly XX year."

"Based on the fact that you call yourself Yao Lao, I have reason to infer that you are the eighth-grade high-level (nine-color) alchemist Yao Zun, known as the number one alchemist in the mainland!"

Yao Lao: "."

How smart this guy is!

He actually pieced together his identity based on countless pieces of information.

"Mist grass."

Xiao Yan looked at Zhang Yuan and sighed: "Cousin, are you possessed by Conan?"

Zhang Yuan: "."

Why didn't you say I was Sherlock Holmes, possessed by Detective Dee?

In fact, he knew this only because he, like Xiao Yan, was also a time traveler.
