Chapter 399 Xingyun Pavilion
When Mu Qingluan saw Xiao Yan again, he couldn't help but be filled with astonishment.
After all, no matter how much she guessed, she would never have thought that Xiao Yan had such a connection with his master.
Noticing Mu Qingluan's gaze, Xiao Yan couldn't help turning his head to look at her. Unlike Mu Qingluan's impression of him, Xiao Yan's impression of her was that she was a disciple of Master Feng. That's all, so he just nodded slightly towards the other party, and then shifted his gaze.
Mu Qingluan was slightly startled, and then she felt a sword-like gaze, which made her have the illusion that she was facing someone from Wanjiange Pavilion.
But her rationality reminded her that those people were not from Wanjiange, and even the people from Wanjiange might not be able to achieve the natural swordsmanship of the woman next to Xiao Yan.
Mu Qingluan couldn't help but meet the slightly sharp gaze, but saw Nalan Yanran looking at her with what could be described as a vigilant look, which surprised her even more.
After all, in other places, a proud girl like her will always be inevitably pursued by others, and then inevitably get involved in countless disputes behind her. In the end, as a She, the person involved, still didn’t know what was going on.
This is not because she is being sentimental, but it is something that will really happen. No wonder she doesn’t think so subconsciously. It is precisely because of this that she can’t help but feel a little surprised by Nalan Yanran’s eyes. , her eyes seemed to be afraid that Xiao Yan would be snatched away by others accidentally.
With her talent and appearance, there is probably no shortage of suitors, but why is she so attracted to Xiao Yan? Mu Qingluan wasn't blind, so he couldn't even see this kind of thing.
What's even more bizarre is that Nalan Yanran is obviously not Xiao Yan's only woman, and the little medical fairy beside her has obviously exceeded the limit and distance between friends and Xiao Yan.
However, there seemed to be no ill feelings between these two people, and they had a very good relationship. It was the little medical fairy who stopped Nalan Yanran from giving her a wary look, and Nalan Yanran didn't seem to behave because of it. No dissatisfaction.
As a bystander, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but sigh as he could bring two women with him who were almost as good as him, and the relationship between the two would not even conflict.
"Xiao Yan should start practicing refining medicine in the next time. The elixir meeting is coming soon. Even though the talent you have shown from beginning to end is not bad, the elixir meeting is very important and it is not a grand event that can be ignored casually. , don’t be careless.”
After returning to Xingyun Pavilion, Master Feng naturally returned the position of Pavilion Master to Yao Lao. After all, in his mind, Yao Lao was the real one. The Pavilion Master himself has only been managing the Xingyun Pavilion on behalf of Yao Lao these years. Now that Yao Lao has returned, this position is naturally still his.
Yao Lao knew what Zun Feng meant and understood his character better, so naturally he didn't shirk anymore.
And Xiao Yan naturally became the Young Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion. With all the resources of Xingyun Pavilion, he finally got over the addiction of being a wealthy man.
After all, Xingyun Pavilion was established by Yao Lao. As the nominal number one alchemist in the mainland, the wealth accumulated by Xingyun Pavilion is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Well, I know, don't worry about everything, teacher."
Xiao Yan nodded with a smile and said.
A trace of peace flashed across Yao Lao's eyes, and he naturally believed in Xiao Yan's assurance.
The peaceful time passed like this for half a month.
For half a month, Xiao Yan basically stayed in the alchemy room every day, locked himself up, and then continued to discuss the techniques of alchemy with Yao Lao.
At the same time, he also replenished his inventory of medicinal materials that was gradually bottoming out. There were many rare and exotic herbs in Xingyun Pavilion, and they were all sourced from Yao Lao. The initial accumulation and inventory.
While cleaning up his inventory, Xiao Yan saw the broken branch that had been used to refine a batch of elixirs simply due to a mistake. He just didn’t know when it started. After so many years. The broken branch that was originally only as long as a finger has now grown to almost a foot without even noticing.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at it carefully.
Now his soul power has made a qualitative improvement and leap compared to before. When he looked at the broken branch in front of him again, which was already more than a foot long, he could not see through it anymore. I could vaguely feel that this thing was extraordinary, and that it would do no harm to the human body, but I didn't know what its real use was.
"What's wrong? Huh? Is this?"
In the alchemy room, Yao Lao noticed Xiao Yan's rare trance. He knew that his apprentice was not someone who was easily distracted. Yao Lao The old man couldn't help but ask.
However, he also noticed that Xiao Yan's attention was focused on the strange broken branches, and a flash of understanding flashed in his heart.
"Still wondering what this thing is?"
Yao Lao couldn't help but ask, causing Xiao Yan to nod slightly.
“It’s probably some kind of ancient thing. After all, neither I nor the girl know anything about this thing. If we really want to know the truth, maybe we can only find it in the Medicine Clan’s library. Some relevant words, after all, that is probably where all the recorded medicinal materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that have appeared on this Dou Qi Continent are collected."
Yao Lao said, which aroused Xiao Yan's attention. A hint of curiosity.
“The Yao Clan, where the teacher is from, where is Miss Wan’s family?”
"Yes."
Yao Lao nodded. Seeing a trace of curiosity flash in Xiao Yan's eyes, Yao Lao, who knew that he would have to tell him sooner or later, couldn't help coughing slightly and said: " The Yao Clan is a hidden force in Zhongzhou, and its strength far exceeds the forces on the surface in Zhongzhou. It is the family that once gave birth to Emperor Dou."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but subconsciously clenched the broken branch when he heard this. Somewhat surprised, the family that gave birth to Emperor Dou? That means Dou Emperor is no longer here, and there are not many powerful Dou Sheng warriors, and there are countless powerful Dou Zun warriors, right? "What are you afraid of? It's just that our ancestors were too wealthy. Not only did your Xiao family give birth to Emperor Dou, it was even the strongest family among the eight clans more than a thousand years ago."
Yao Lao couldn't help but say.
"That's right, everyone has moments of glory."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
“This is not a glorious moment. Although the Yao Clan is not afraid of any power in Zhongzhou, it is just a skinny camel bigger than a horse. It’s not a big deal. "
Yao Lao waved his hand and said: "It is precisely because of this that they value the girl more and more, because the girl is the most likely to lead them back to the top. "
Xiao Yan was silent, but he felt that Yao Lao's attitude towards the Yao clan was somewhat different from when he mentioned Miss Wan.
It seems that although the Yao clan and the teacher are from the same family, there is an unspeakable conflict. Only when Miss Wan is mentioned, the resentment will be slightly relieved.
"Teacher...although I am from the Medicine Clan, you don't seem to mention it often."
"...What's the use of mentioning it? Showing your scars to others makes you look pitiful. "
Yao Lao was silent for a moment, and then said.
“Well...”
Xiao Yan was silent, Yao Lao's words were certainly correct.
"It doesn't matter. Although I have some grievances with the Yao clan, the girl is different. She is not bad in nature, but she has not fully recognized herself. For a gifted genius like her, it is not the same. It's inevitable."
Yao Lao explained: "I don't know if you have felt it... The girl's perspective and attitude towards other people have always been different. You are very similar, but even worse than you."
"Speaking of which, maybe she is more likely to look like you without two years of silence."
Yao Lao's words made Xiao Yan slightly stunned, but he had not forgotten what kind of virtue he had when he first showed his talents. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Miss Wan shouldn't be like this, right?"
"That's because she thinks you are probably the most special one in her eyes, so she treats you differently."
Yao Lao shook his head. He may not be 100% right when it comes to people. It’s not like I haven’t even had any eyesight for so many years.
"Having said that, she is not a bad person, she just doesn't recognize herself yet, and what you have to do in the future is to clear the clouds in front of her."
As he spoke, Yao Lao stretched out his hand to take the broken branch from Xiao Yan's hand, and couldn't help but look at it again.
Although he didn't know what this broken branch was, he always had a hunch that not only was this thing of great origin, but it might also be of some vital use.
"Take it well, it will be useful after all."
Since it is such a valuable thing, it is natural to keep it well. Yao Lao waved his hand and asked Xiao Yan to put it away, and he followed suit. Did so.
At the same time, Yao Lao received a message from Master Feng, and upon receiving the message, his expression experienced an unusual slight change.
“What’s wrong?”
Xiao Yan couldn’t help but ask, looking at the incomprehensible expression on Yao Lao’s face.
"The girl is here."
Xiao Yan was inevitably a little surprised by Yao Lao's words: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
"Cao Cao? What Cao Cao?"
" It’s just a proverb, it means whoever arrives.”
Xiao Yan stood up, and Yao Lao naturally didn’t stop him. Apart from anything else, Yao Wan will definitely not affect Xiao Yan’s cultivation progress. With the speed of refining medicine, only the layman and the oil bottle can do this kind of thing every day. If a genius like Yao Wan, who knows all kinds of magic, stays by Xiao Yan's side, it will be too late for Yao Lao to be happy. , not to mention not allowing them to meet.
However, after only such a short period of time, the girl was anxious to see Xiao Yan... It always felt like it was not a good thing.
Yao Lao shook his head, it must be an illusion, right? What can the girl do to Xiao Yan? I was a little surprised.
