"Fifteen years, huh..."
Lying under the moonlight, Xiao Yan pillowed his head with both hands, murmuring with a somewhat dazed expression.
Fifteen years had passed in the blink of an eye since he arrived in this strange Fighting Qi Continent from another world.
For fifteen years, he had been surrounded by his parents, enjoying the treatment of a Genius, and gradually developed some of a youth's Heart-Nature.
However, these three years of lost talent made him gradually recall that he was not just a fifteen-year-old youth; inside this body, there was still a twenty-year-old Soul. (When Tudou wrote Battle Through the Heavens, he was 20; let's assume Tudou himself Transmigrated!)
"Yaner!"
Just as Xiao Yan was sighing with emotion, Xiao Zhan, dressed in grey robes, swept down from the mountain and landed steadily in front of Xiao Yan.
"Father!"
Xiao Yan did a carp jump to his feet, turned to look at the smiling Xiao Zhan, and forced a smile.
"Smack!"
Xiao Zhan stepped forward, his large hand gently patting Xiao Yan's shoulder. Looking at his youngest son, whose height was nearly catching up to his own, Xiao Zhan pulled him to sit on the grassy slope together.
"Yaner, Father has two pieces of good news for you. Do you want to hear them?"
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.
Xiao Yan sighed, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his right hand unconsciously fiddling with the grass beneath his buttocks: "For me, right now, other than solving the problem of my disappearing Qi, no news can count as good news!"
Xiao Zhan looked at his son's lost expression and reached out to wrap his arm around the youth's shoulder: "Yaner, today I purchased two Medicinal Pills at the Mittel Auction House. Now, I have already reached the Six-Star Great Dou Shi level!"
As Xiao Zhan spoke, he revealed his aura, and the Qi fluctuations of a Six-Star Great Dou Shi appeared clearly before Xiao Yan.
"A Six-Star Great Dou Shi?!?"
Xiao Yan said he didn't care, but seeing his father's Breakthrough, he was happier than anyone.
"That's right. The Alchemist who refined the Medicinal Pill is currently at the Mittel Auction House."
"I asked Miss Ya Fei to inquire on my behalf. The Alchemist just sent word that he will come to the Xiao Family tomorrow morning to look into the problem of your disappearing Qi!"
"Yaner, rest assured. Even if I have to spend the Family's entire fortune, I will find a way to solve your problem."
"Now that Father has achieved a Breakthrough, my voice within the Family will be greatly elevated. I doubt those old fellows will say anything!"
"Father believes that my son has never been a waste. You are the Genius who became a Dou Practitioner at eleven!"
Xiao Zhan reached out and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, turning his head to look at Xiao Yan, who was staring at him in a daze.
"Alright, go back and rest early."
"Early tomorrow morning, besides that Alchemist, there will be other distinguished guests visiting."
Xiao Zhan smiled, stood up, and reached out a hand toward Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan managed a faint smile, grabbed Xiao Zhan's large hand, and the father and son walked down the mountain with their arms around each other's shoulders!
...
Xiao Family, Xun'er's room.
"Old Ling, do you know why Uncle Xiao Zhan suddenly reached a Breakthrough to Six-Star Great Dou Shi?"
Looking at Ling Ying, who was standing before her bowing respectfully, Xun'er asked with confusion.
"A mysterious Alchemist has arrived at the Mittel Auction House. The Medicinal Pill Xiao Zhan took for his Breakthrough was refined by him. This person's background is unknown, and he is only seventeen or eighteen. According to my analysis, it is very likely that he comes from a mysterious Alchemist Family in the Central Plains!"
Ling Ying said.
"An Alchemist Family from the Central Plains?"
"Could it be from Holy Pill City?"
"For an Alchemist from Holy Pill City to appear in this barren Northwest region, could it be for the Heavenly Flame?"
Xun'er muttered.
"It is very possible!"
Ling Ying nodded.
"Regardless of whether this person is from Holy Pill City, as long as he does not harm Brother Xiao Yan, there is no need to pay him any mind!"
"However, the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect who is visiting tomorrow is a major source of trouble!"
When Xun'er said this, she immediately gritted her teeth.
She couldn't understand, she only arrived a few years late, so how did Brother Xiao Yan end up with a fiancée?
Oh, it was decided by the other party's grandfather before he died. That's fine then.
"A mere Cloud Mist Sect. When Yun Potian was alive, the Cloud Mist Sect wasn't even considered a third-rate force on the Fighting Qi Continent, let alone how many years it has been since Yun Potian died!"
Ling Ying's words showed he didn't care about the Cloud Mist Sect at all.
"After tomorrow, let's see how Brother Xiao Yan handles it!"
"If Brother Xiao Yan gets hurt..."
A golden flame flashed in the young girl's eyes, and then she dismissed Ling Ying.
...
At the Mittel Auction House, Miss Ya Fei, having received the reply, waved her hand to signal the female Dou Master to leave, and then went to report to Chen Yang.
"Then after breakfast tomorrow, Miss Ya Fei, accompany me to the Xiao Family for a look!" Chen Yang said to Ya Fei.
"I..." Ya Fei was stunned for a moment.
"Of course, I don't know the way, and I still need Miss Ya Fei to guide me!" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"I forgot, Great Master Chen Yang, you have been in Wutan City for less than three days!" Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, her phoenix eyes full of charm.
"It's late, Miss Ya Fei, get some rest early, we'll leave early tomorrow." Chen Yang shook his head. This Ya Fei, she truly is a temptress; every smile and glance is incredibly alluring.
"Hmm!" Ya Fei nodded, stood up, and left Chen Yang's room, looking back every few steps.
