Chapter 474 The Past
In the past three months, Xiao Yan's never-ending refining of the medicine, most of it slipped through his fingers like tightly held quicksand.
The Alchemy Meeting was approaching, and Xiao Yan finally took Yaolao and Zi Yan to the Alchemy Region where the center of Zhongzhou was located.
“That——Teacher?”
When Xiao Yan saw Yao Lao again, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
The old man who was as tall and tall as a pine in the mountains disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a handsome young man with silver hair. Only the simple linen clothes were still familiar.
Xiao Yan almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person, when he saw the corner of Yao Chen's mouth twitching, revealing a helpless smile.
"What's the matter? You haven't recognized the teacher since we haven't seen each other for just a few days?"
Yao Chen coughed all over, showing a hint of embarrassment. In fact, he had also considered asking for help. Don't show your youthful self in front of your disciples.
As a living person, if you want to maintain the appearance of your youth, you often have to spend a lot of energy. However, the soul body has no worries in this regard, and it does not matter what state it wants to be. But it's just in my own thoughts.
The reason why Yao Chen kept appearing in such an old state before was naturally more due to his own mentality.
After all, we are all young people, why should we pretend to be young in front of our apprentices, but this time... it is somewhat of a special situation.
"Teacher, what is this...?"
Xiao Yan blinked his eyes, and the soul power that had now climbed up to the spiritual realm unknowingly felt the unusual soul of Yao Chen. Fluctuating, one can guess that his beautiful master is probably also in the teacher's body.
It is not difficult for Xiao Yan to guess that this is probably related to his master. Having said that, the relationship between the master and the teacher is really unusual... Xiao Yan himself is naturally concerned about the relationship between Yao Lao and Han Shanshan There is not much interest in making judgments about emotional disputes.
After all, he is not that old-fashioned, and it is not his turn as a disciple to comment on the relationship between the teacher and the master. In addition, it would be too strange for the disciple to oppose the relationship between the teacher and the master.
As for the general relationship between masters and disciples - what does it have to do with him? Xiao Yan doesn't care about this, as long as the people around him can live happily, everything else Whatever others say.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart. In short, what Xiao Yan wants in his heart is to silently support the relationship between Yao Chen and Han Shanshan. If possible, he will not cause a deadlock. It's not impossible for the two of them to push each other.
"To be honest... it's a long story."
Yao Chen didn't know what to say. To be honest, he was actually quite worried that Xiao Yan would get to the bottom of it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan nodded without hesitation, seemingly showing an incomparable understanding of Yao Chen's performance at this moment.
"I understand, teacher."
Xiao Yan said with a hint of understanding on his lips, which made Yao Chen feel a little weird in his heart, although Xiao Yan could understand him. Nowadays, the difficulty that is difficult to explain is indeed the best, but what is the reason for his expression of someone who has been through it and the expression that he has seen through everything?
Yao Chen really didn’t expect that one day he would be so embarrassed in front of Xiao Yan.
However, this topic was almost turned around when Xiao Yan took the initiative to discuss it. He was not brave enough to tease the teacher about his emotional history: "By the way, teacher, how should we participate in this alchemy meeting?"< br>
"Don't worry about this. As one of the Sifang Pavilions in Zhongzhou, Xingyun Pavilion would have received invitations from the Danhui. It's just that I haven't been here these years, so Feng Xian just brought some talented juniors to have a little fun. , although it is impossible to achieve any good results, it is still a very valuable opportunity to practice."
Yao Chen stood with his hands behind his hands, independent cloud head, even Xiao Yan was half a step behind him, when crossing the space, When the strong wind roared, the waist-length silver hair flew with the wind, flying freely. In a trance, Xiao Yan seemed to see the high-spirited Medicine Master hundreds of years ago.
Yao Chen changed his style and said: "However, the standards of ordinary disciples do not apply to you. Are you mentally prepared for this elixir meeting?"
"Be prepared."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, he was bound to win the three thousand flames.
The news about Wan'er, the last hope, and...the revenge against the Spirit Devouring Clan, and the entanglement with the Soul Palace, all of which still need to be settled by oneself.
Especially the Swallowing Spirit Clan.
He can't escape, nor can he let go of these scourges that will definitely endanger everyone as long as they live in this world. Whether it is from a personal perspective or in the name of others, Xiao Yan has no regard for swallowing souls. There is only one attitude of the tribe.
Kill them all.
His shoulders trembled slightly, and the resentment in his heart burned like a flame in his chest.
Zi Yan was vaguely aware of the violence coming from Xiao Yan, and couldn't help but shrink her neck, hesitated, and then subconsciously said: "Xiao Yan...?"
Zi Yan's voice made Xiao Yan reply. After coming to his senses, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Zi Yan, but suddenly realized what happened: "Well...it's nothing." She wanted to answer how your current appearance seemed to be nothing, and how much it was. It's a bit scary.
However, she still controlled her mouth, thinking that some things were better said in private.
The movements of the three of them were not slow at all. After running all the way, the Danyu in the center of Zhongzhou was already in front of them.
After entering the Dan Realm, Xiao Yan and the others immediately felt the difference between the thousands of miles of territory radiating from the Dan Pagoda as the center compared to the outside world, and the terrifying attraction brought by the Dan Club.
Any city is bustling with excitement and prosperity. On the streets, the figures of alchemists of various colors almost dazzled his eyes. With such a large number of alchemists, it was really him. For the first time in these years, I have seen that the quantity and quality of the alchemist conference held by the Gama Empire were far from being comparable to the alchemists in this alchemy realm. Here, the fifth and sixth grade alchemists There are countless of them like crucian carp crossing the river.
Moreover, this is just a city in the Alchemy Domain. I really don’t know how shocking the flow of people would be if all the alchemists gathered in the Holy Alchemy City.
If it were in the past, Xiao Yan would probably be very shocked when he thought of the grand scene of thousands of fires rising, thousands of cauldrons landing, and thousands of Dans being born. After all, humans are social animals after all, and it is understandable that they like to join in the fun. .
It's just that Xiao Yan can't stop for these things now. He just hopes to be able to deal with the Danhui as soon as possible, and he also wants to get the Three Thousand Flames faster.
Seeing Xiao Yan burying his head in a hurry, Yao Lao and Zi Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the worry and worry in each other's eyes.
Non-stop all the way, Xiao Yan and the others finally arrived at the center of the Dan Domain, the Holy Dan City under the Dan Pagoda.
Not long after entering the city, Yao Chen took Xiao Yan and Zi Yan to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild under the Alchemy Tower to submit Xiao Yan's quota for participating in the Alchemy Conference.
As a well-known force in Zhongzhou, Xingyun Pavilion can naturally enjoy a certain degree of convenience in the Dan Pagoda. However, this convenience is actually very limited. In the final analysis, it is just for Xiao Yan’s benefit. It's just a few troublesome steps, but in the end there will be no partiality in the results that are above the Danhui level.
This is also a matter of course.
But when Yao Chen signed up for Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but hesitate.
After struggling for a long time, Yao Chen sighed and took the initiative to add his own name.
And this move caused the soul pearl's faint light to flow around him, which seemed to recall many memories that had been buried for countless years. In the past, they were mixed together, and a And came to mind.
“What are you hesitating about?”
After a while, Han Shanshan’s questioning voice came from the soul bead.
"...Xuan Yi."
There was a rare hesitation in Yao Chen's tone.
"What's wrong with Xuan Yi?"
Han Shanshan felt a little puzzled. In her old memories, which she didn't have many memories of now, Xuan Yi didn't seem to have any special relationship with Yao Chen?
“...She once confessed to me, but because at that time I only wanted to teach my first apprentice well, so I rejected her.”
There was a hint of sentimentality in Yao Chen's tone, but he didn't know who the sentimentality came from. Was it the Xuan Yi that he had missed? Or did he miss Han Feng, who has already been eliminated by him? He couldn't think clearly anymore.
"...That's it."
Han Shanshan was silent for a moment. In fact, she didn't feel much surprised about this, as if she accidentally learned that Xiao Yan and Yao Wan actually In the end, they didn't join the team as a couple. Instead, they were just like the other girls who couldn't explain things like feelings. She wouldn't blame Yao Chen, let alone her old friends. In the final analysis, Nowadays, she has long gone through the stage of being competitive and jealous, and she doesn't care about it. Now she can be by Yao Chen's side and watch his descendants slowly come together, which is already a great happiness.
"Then...you have written this, don't you go back and see her?"
"See what? Now you look like a human, a ghost or a ghost?"
Yao Chen couldn't help but shook his head.
"Then why did you write it down?"
"With Xiao Yan here, if Xuan Yi had the intention, even if I didn't write it, she would have guessed that it was me right away, She was hiding and coy, but she seemed guilty of being a thief."
Yao Lao was silent for a moment, and then said: "Perhaps she has hidden herself in the Little Alchemy Pagoda and is not interested in world affairs, or she has wandered around the Dou Qi Continent. "It's been too long, it would be better if we didn't meet each other."
But Han Shanshan shook her head, she still knew her old friend somewhat, she... was probably still there.
