Chapter 23: Confrontation
Yao Chen stared at Xiao Yan with a smile the whole time, but he was not angry. This matter was indeed a bit unfair, and anyone would feel resentful.
In addition, he was afraid of Xiao Bai and Xiao Xun'er.
Anyway, this guy would be his disciple sooner or later. The more he scolded now, the more suffering he would suffer in the future.
Seeing that Xiao Yan would not stop until he had scolded all the grievances in his heart, Xiao Bai waved his hand to interrupt him.
He had to do his thing first, as for how these two masters and apprentices would love and hate each other in the future, he was too lazy to care.
After the three people and one soul sat down again, Xiao Bai took the lead and said:
"I wonder what your name is, senior?"
"Um... I have forgotten the specific name... You can just call me Yao Lao!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled vaguely, looking like an immortal.
A hint of smile flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he bowed and said,
"So it's Senior Yao Lao. You are named after medicine, and your soul is so powerful. You must be a pharmacist of a high rank, right?"
"Yes, I was indeed a pharmacist before. As for the rank... It's been too long, I can't remember!" Yao Lao slightly straightened his chest when he talked about pharmacists, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Then he looked at Xiao Bai again, "Why? Do you need to refine some elixir? I can't do anything about it. Now I am just a soul body, and I can't refine elixirs!"
Xiao Xun'er was thoughtful after hearing this. Could it be that Brother Xiao Bai needed to refine some special elixir? It seems that she can ask him when she goes back. This old man can't do it, but she can.
Xiao Bai's eyes flashed. Did the old man Yao think he was blind? Can't he recognize your bright bone spirit cold fire?
If there is no strange fire, it would be really difficult for Yao Lao to refine the elixir. The fire used for refining the elixir is either Dou Qi transformed into a real flame, which he can rule out, because there is no Dou Qi in his body, or it is beast fire or strange fire.
Or Yao Lao is testing him, but what is there for him to test? Is he testing his knowledge?
See if he can recognize the bone spirit cold fire?
Xiao Bai shook his head and didn't think too much about it for the time being.
"Senior, you misunderstood. Xiao is not going to refine elixirs, but just want to get a copy of the alchemist inheritance from you!"
Yao Lao raised his eyebrows and said:
"You are a thunder attribute, what do you want the alchemist inheritance for?"
"Senior, there is no need to ask more about this, I will make my own arrangements!"
"Okay, then, become your disciple!" Yao Lao smiled cunningly, just because he admired this young man.
"Xiao has no intention of becoming your disciple," Xiao Bai refused without hesitation.
Is Yao Lao qualified to be a teacher? Of course he is qualified. In this regard, this old man has a good reputation. If he doesn't have a golden finger, this is also a good opportunity.
But he can't!
"Xiao Bai, you are dreaming! If you don't become my disciple, why should I give you the inheritance?"
Yao Lao rolled his eyes. Why do young people nowadays always think of good things?
Xiao Bai ignored his expression and calmly asked an unrelated question:
"Looking at the state of your soul, you should be able to revive, right?"
"Well... well, why are you asking this?"
Yao Lao's eyes were alert. This was about his biggest secret.
Xiao Bai ignored his expression and said to himself:
"Xiao once saw a method in an ancient book that required three kinds of strange fire to refine the resurrected body. I wonder if you also use this method?"
Yao Lao was no longer calm at this time. His face became serious and he said indifferently:
"Oh~? It's really an unheard-of method!"
Xiao Bai smiled indifferently and said:
"Senior, how about a deal?"
"What deal?" Yao Lao had already reacted a little at this time. This kid had been talking about this and that for a long time, now was his real purpose.
He no longer dared to treat Xiao Bai as a junior boy.
This guy is a living little fox. His words seem to be free and unrestrained, but he is actually cautious in every step.
"One strange fire in exchange for two things from the senior!"
"Tell me, which two things?" Yao Lao narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
"The inheritance of an eighth-grade alchemist and the method of resurrection!" Xiao Bai said seriously.
These two things are related to his future plans and must be obtained.
In fact, there is one more, but there is no hurry now, and it can't run away.
Xiao Xun'er's smart eyes stared at Xiao Bai at this moment, feeling that he was glowing all over, chic and confident, as if everything was under control.
She now had the urge to throw herself into his arms and act like a spoiled child, so that he could love her wantonly!
Xiao Yan, who was on the side, watched the two of them talking back and forth, talking about some high-end topics, what resurrection, what strange fire, what eighth-grade alchemist...
Is this something that a third-level fighting force can listen to?
If any of the three major families in the entire Wutan City has a first-grade alchemist, they will worship him like an ancestor.
The famous Dan King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire is only a sixth-grade one.
Brother Bai and this mysterious old man traded the inheritance of the eighth-grade alchemist as if it were cabbage.
Suddenly, he felt that he was a little narrow-minded for what Nalan Yanran said today.
Now he felt that he was not worthy of sitting at the same table with them.
Well, why is this stone bench a little hot on the butt!
"How do you know that I am an eighth-grade alchemist?" Yao Lao was a little surprised.
"Although the senior is a remnant soul, the quality of his soul is extremely high, and it has a sense of agility and satisfaction. It is believed that his soul has reached the realm of spiritual perfection before his death.
An eighth-grade alchemist may not necessarily have a perfect spiritual realm, but a perfect spiritual realm must be an eighth-grade alchemist!"
After Xiao Bai finished speaking slowly, Yao Lao smiled and clapped his hands and said,
"I didn't expect that this small Jia Ma Empire would have such a brilliant young man. Boy, you will definitely have a place among the strong men of this continent in the future!"
"I agree to your deal!"
Xiao Bai was not surprised that Yao Lao agreed. Since it was a deal, sometimes it does not depend on whether it is fair or equal in value, but on whether the things traded are what both parties need.
It's just a strange fire. He knows where it is but can't use it. It's better to use it to trade for something that helps him.
Yao Lao wants Xiao Yan to practice the Burning Art and help him refine the body for resurrection, so he is in urgent need of strange fire.
So there is no question of who is losing or who is gaining. As long as both parties are satisfied with the transaction, it is a win-win situation.
"But, I have a condition!"
Yao Lao suddenly spoke, causing Xiao Bai to frown, but he still said:
"Please speak, senior!"
"I want a ready-made strange fire, not a map or anything like that, and the strange fire must be mature, not a juvenile!"
Xiao Bai's eyes twitched. He had planned to just give him a map, but he didn't expect the old man to be so shrewd. However, since that was the case, he had something to say.
"Okay, but I have a condition too!"
Yao Lao was speechless after hearing this, and cursed inwardly:
"This little fox really doesn't want to suffer any loss, and now he's counterattacking so quickly!"
He nodded helplessly and said:
"Tell me!"
