Chapter 408: Gambling Period is Coming

The sun had just risen. After a night of hard work, Xiao Zhen returned to the camp in the wild with Xiao Yan with a reluctant look on his face.

Xiao Yan was still sitting cross-legged in the oil pan at this moment, but there was no expression on his face. His forehead was covered with sweat, showing that he was not at ease at all.

While Yao Chen was adding fire, he also did not forget to add some fragrant ingredients into the oil pan with a mysterious smile on his face.

Xiao Zhen asked curiously, "Old Yao, what did you just throw in?"

Yao Chen laughed and said, "Nothing, I just felt that the original herbs were a bit monotonous, so I added some spices to it. Come and smell it, does it taste much better?"

Xiao Zhen leaned into the oil pan and sniffed a few times. He narrowed his eyes slightly, covered his mouth and chuckled, "You know what, it smells really good, but do these spices have any other effects?"

Yao Chen shook his head and said frankly: "I just felt bored for one night, there is no other meaning."

Xiao Yan opened his eyes at this time and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? Didn't you say before that adding these ingredients would be good for cultivation?"

Yao Chen spread his hands, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and said jokingly: "I am now a soul body, in layman's terms, a ghost. Do you believe in ghosts?"

Xiao Yan: "I ****"

Xiao Yan, who no longer wanted to sit in the frying pan, jumped up and jumped out of the frying pan.

Xiao Zhen carefully scanned Xiao Yan with his soul power and found that this kid had indeed changed a lot. His fighting spirit had become much purer, and at such a young age, he actually had a few more abdominal muscles.

Apart from that, the biggest change is in his skin. His originally fair skin has now turned bronze. If you don’t know, you would think he has been exposed to the sun for several years.

Xiao Zhen broke off a branch and while Xiao Yan wasn't paying attention, he slapped him on the back.

Xiao Yan touched his back and said unhappily, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't inject Dou Qi just now, I just wanted to see the effect. It seems to be better than expected. Your skin is now well-refined and quite strong!"

Xiao Yan looked at himself and said with some annoyance: "I used to be a fair-skinned boy, but now I have become a dark-skinned boy. How long will it take to maintain my skin and return it to its original state?"

Yao Chen comforted him, "Your skin isn't too dark now, and some medicines can turn it back to its previous color, but these aren't particularly important. What's important is that your skin has indeed become harder."

Xiao Zhen looked at the branch in his hand, glanced at Xiao Yan's head, and suddenly attacked again.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch, my head!"

Xiao Yan covered his head, feeling a burning pain at this moment.

Xiao Zhen threw the branch on the ground with some embarrassment, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yanzi, I thought your head had also been soaked in oil, but I didn't expect..."

Xiao Yan then realized that his face was not soaked in the oil pan. If he got into a fight in the future and someone hit his handsome face, it would be the same as before.

Yao Chen also smiled bitterly and said, "I was careless. If I had known, I would have pushed this kid into the oil pan. Otherwise...fry him all over again!"

Xiao Zhen summoned a fighter plane, waved his hand and said, "Get on the plane. I'll help blow this kid up again when I have time. Now let's go home first!"

Xiao Yan quickly waved his hands and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower first. I can't stand the smell all over my body."

After saying this, Xiao Yan ran towards the river not far away.

Yao Chen laughed out loud: "What's wrong with the taste? It smells pretty good to me, old man."

Xiao Zhen looked at Yao Chen, shook his head and smiled, "Soul-soothing herbs and calming flowers are both top-grade medicinal herbs used to stabilize the mind. If I didn't know them, I might have really thought that you were bored and had nothing to do, so you added some seasonings."

Yao Chen put his hands behind his back and said seriously: "Xiao Yanzi is indeed a promising talent. If he is trained well, he will definitely be a fine gem in the future."

Xiao Zhen asked: "Why? Are you planning to take this boy as your disciple?"

Yao Chen looked thoughtful for a moment, as if recalling some bad memories, and said with a sigh: "Last night, I accepted this kid as a nominal disciple. As for whether it can be changed to a formal disciple in the future, it depends on fate!"

After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan looked at his younger son who had become darker, and wondered if the two of them had been to a hot desert area. Only places like that would make people so tanned!

In the misty mountain courtyard, Yun Yun, who was dressed in beautiful green, said in a deep voice: "Yanran, the gambling period is about to begin. When the time comes, you must beat the kid from the Xiao family so that I, your teacher, can vent my anger."

Nalan Yanran bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yan's talent is stronger than mine. Now that the deadline is approaching, I wonder how much he has grown!"

Gently stroking her beloved student's head, Yun Yun said confidently: "Don't worry, your progress over the years has been seen by the teacher, you must have confidence in yourself.

Xiao Yan is just like his uncle. Even if he has good talent, he is just a sneaky and cunning guy who likes to use some despicable means. "

Nalan Yanran hugged Yun Yun's shoulders, some little stars appeared in her eyes, and asked curiously: "Teacher, you and Uncle Xiao Zhen have been enemies for many years.

Can you tell Yanran what happened in the past that made you hate him so much?"

Yun Yun's face darkened, and she slapped Nalan Yanran on the buttocks, saying viciously: "Little girl, why are you asking so many questions? If you lose this competition, then your future training... Haha, you can handle it yourself!"

Nalan Yanran curled her lips and didn't want to continue talking about topics that obviously involved privacy.

"Teacher, I have now reached the ninth level of fighting spirit, and I am very close to becoming a fighter."

Yun Yun took out a jade box. After opening it, a charming medicinal fragrance emanated from it, and Nalan Yanran was instantly attracted.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Yun Yun smiled and said, "This is the Qi Gathering Powder, which is specially used to assist in the promotion of fighters. And it is not an ordinary Qi Gathering Powder, this one has Dan patterns on it."

The Qi Gathering Powder in Yun Yun's hand was made by Gu He. Now that he has already entered the ranks of fifth-grade alchemists, refining a Qi Gathering Powder is of course a piece of cake for him.

However, it is quite difficult for Gu He now to refine a pill with elixir patterns. After refining more than ten furnaces of elixirs, he finally produced a Qi Gathering Powder with elixir patterns.
