"You know... I had to beg my sister to get you a two-year leave of absence..."
"On the way... I saw Xun'er, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Yu already on flying magical beasts." We chatted briefly for a bit, you know what I mean.
Yao Chen didn't know what to say... anyway, after some rambling... Yao Chen believed that Xiao Yan, a fish that slipped through the net after nine years of education, shouldn't have so many ulterior motives.
As expected, after Yao Chen's explanation, Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly, scratching the back of his head.
He smiled at Yao Chen as well.
"Teacher...you could actually find me a teacher's wife..." "I wouldn't mind anyone else besides Zheng'er and Sister Yutang, hehe."
Upon hearing this... Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan meaningfully.
"Do you think your teacher is the kind of old cow who preys on young girls?" How could I possibly be looking for a teacher among such a brat?
"Although they are all good... I already have someone in my heart."
"Who is it? Who is my master's wife?" This question piqued Xiao Yan's interest.
"Don't worry... she's not in the Jia Ma Empire... but in the Central Continent of the Dou Qi Continent. She's also one of the three giants of the Dan Tower... This is just a pretext from Yao Chen."
However... Yao Chen genuinely likes women like Xuan Yi... who are both beautiful and powerful. It's just that the original Yao Chen didn't know how to appreciate her... making others wait so many years.
She's still a virgin. *sigh*
I really wanted to pluck that fiery flower. It's such a pity.
Yao Chen also knew that he was not the original Yao Chen... as long as he came into contact with Xuan Yi.
It's highly likely that clues will be discovered...
"Hehehe... I never expected you, teacher, to have a spouse who loves to chatter. That's really 'unusual'."
"By the way, since you have a spouse, judging from what you just said, she seems quite powerful and of high status. Why don't you ask her for help in forming a physical body?"
Xiao Yan smiled meaningfully at Yao Chen. "What do you know?"
"The Central Plains are full of strong individuals."
"Now I am a remnant soul. I must collect three different kinds of strange flames and reach the strength of a Dou Zun... before I can condense a physical body." (Sigh, your master's wife...)
Yao Chen didn't want to continue making things up, so he abruptly ended the conversation. "Alright... since you're going to condense physical bodies one by one and help me find my master's wife..." then hurry up and become stronger.
"Huh?! How did the topic get changed like this? Xiao Yan still wanted to complain."
However... the next second, Yao Chen grabbed him by the neck and pulled him directly into the spatial dimension.
When he reappeared, Xiao Yan felt dizzy and disoriented.
"Okay, hurry up!"
Xiao Yan's first experience with spatial travel... left the fully-fledged Dou Zhe (Master of Fighting) extremely uncomfortable. He vomited several times. This time, Xiao Yan noticed the noisy sneezing sounds coming from the room...
Suddenly... Yan Diyou looked down. The next second... his pupils dilated in shock.
"This isn't Wutan City, is it?"
"Where is this?" Xiao Yan asked, his gaze falling on the calm-faced Yao Chen. "The Jia Ma Empire. Main City, Imperial Capital."
After speaking calmly, Yao Chen dissipated his physical body and transformed into a transparent soul.
Yao Chen didn't want to be openly by Xiao Yan's side... After all, Xiao Yan was the protagonist... There would definitely be all sorts of troubles involving giving away experience points.
Medicine Dust has no interest in dealing with this kind of waste.
"Even the Emperor heard Yao Chen's words."
Xiao Yan looked around at his feet... and only then did he realize the grandeur and magnificence of the capital city.
"So this is the capital city." It's definitely different from Wutan City.
Watching the crowds come and go, Yan felt a longing in his heart... From a young age, he had lived in Wutan City.
As for the outside world, apart from the few small towns around Wutan City, the Beast Mountain Range was the largest... and also the farthest place he had ever ventured.
Chapter 285 Assessing the Alchemist's Rank
Just as Xiao Yan was shocked by the luxurious street scene of the capital, he suddenly remembered something.
Then, with a look of both horror and excitement, she looked at Yao Chen... "Teacher, you... you..."
"You actually managed to reach the capital in the blink of an eye." This...this...how is this possible?
"How strong would one have to be to do that?"
Xiao Yan then remembered... he had just traveled from Wutan City to the capital in one step. "Alright, alright... what's so great about that?"
"As long as you train hard, you might not only become as strong as me, but you might even surpass me in the future."
Yao Chen's words... made him feel somewhat elated. "Who is it?"
Just as Yao Chen was receiving Xiao Yan's flattery... a reprimand suddenly rang out from below. Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen both looked down...
Their eyes met. Xiao Yan also met the gaze of a pair of guards... Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately understood... they were reprimanding him, "Are you asking me?"
Xiao Yan pointed uncertainly to himself. "Who else but you?"
"Who exactly are you... are you a spy sent by the Izumo Empire...?" he muttered to himself furtively.
The person who spoke immediately regretted it. After all, the other party could walk on air.
His strength is at least at the Dou Zong level... he's not someone a cannon fodder like him can afford to mess with...
As for why only Xiao Yan was seen and not Yao Chen, it's because... Yao Chen concealed his aura.
It was not something a mere warrior's guard could have discovered.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was initially somewhat disappointed, then looked at Yao Chen beside him. "Teacher, leave this place quickly!"
"Otherwise, I'll definitely be in trouble...you know that. I still have to participate in the Alchemist Conference. I can't be mistaken for a spy from an enemy country. Otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yao Chen had also considered this point...
The moment a strawberry grabbed Xiao Yan's hand and buttocks, the next second...
The flames were pulled into the space again, and then disappeared.
The sudden turn of events terrified the guards below. "Holy crap, this person is a Dou Dou Zong!"
"Quickly...quickly go and inform Lord Jiaxing and Princess Guanye." Realizing what was happening, he immediately ran towards the royal palace. This person also mistook Xiao Yan for a spy from an enemy country.
Following the guard's shout, many guards surged towards the street.
The bewildered crowd... were all watching each other... They had simply assumed it was royal guards reprimanding and yelling at ordinary people, so they hadn't taken it too seriously.
Everyone was busy with their own things... but now we hear that a Dou Zong from an enemy country has just arrived.
How could this not cause a huge uproar? Meanwhile, inside the inn... a chain swung open. The next second, Yao Chen slowly appeared with Xiao Yan.
"Now that it's safe, I should rest." "The rest... I can't help you with that."
With his physical lifespan nearing its end, Yao Chen didn't want to stay in the outside world any longer... After all, there wasn't much to see here.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen disappeared... and then a storage ring floated in the air... "Uh... they're gone already."
"I...I don't know anyone here. What am I supposed to do?"
"No. Teacher, you should at least tell me what I should do now."
Xiao Yan was also speechless, feeling that Yao Chen, his teacher, was somewhat irresponsible.
He always runs away at crucial moments... He always runs off halfway through a conversation. Especially at the Xiao family's house... Every time it gets dark...
Teacher Yao Chen would always find an excuse to leave... At this point, Xiao Yan was speechless... Now that they were in the capital, the other party was still like this.
This time, she didn't know what to do... After all... this wasn't Wutan City... but the imperial capital, which he had never been to before. Just as Xiao Yan was embracing...
Yao Chen also heard this through his storage ring. Upon hearing it, he nodded in agreement.
"How would I know what to do... the system didn't give me any tasks."
"I'm a gynecological expert. All I know is how to heal wounds and deliver babies... and flirt with beautiful women." You ask me? I'd like to ask you the same thing.
Xiao Yan cursed Yao Chen, but that was also within the storage ring. He could teach Xiao Yan gynecology... but cultivation of Dou Qi was truly a matter of fate.
He wasn't actually Yao Chen, nor did he possess Yao Chen's teaching abilities; he could only let Xiao Yan develop wildly... until finally refining him into Ni Ou.
Just as Yao Chen was embracing... the system seemed to obey Yao Chen's embrace and immediately issued a system announcement.
[Ding! Host has arrived in the capital of the Gama Empire. New quest activated...]
[System task: Take your apprentice Xiao Yan to the Alchemist Guild for the alchemist level assessment...]
[Task Reward: Celestial Soul. Oops! What the heck!]
"There really is a mission! A system mission that suddenly appeared..." This made Yao Chen quite happy.
Just when I didn't know what to do with Xiao Yan, the system issued a task... "Bang bang bang, this damn system. I've finally become a human for once."
Chapter 286 Princess Tianye
After saying that, Yao Chen suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan was still outside cursing.
He immediately put aside what was on his mind and transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan.
After all, the reward for this mission... it's a breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm! Outside...
Just as Xiao Yan was about to continue his usual chatter... suddenly, Yao Chen's voice echoed in his mind, startling him greatly.
"I have already devised a plan for you..."
"It's inconvenient to move around in the capital right now. Think of a pseudonym later. Then go to the Alchemist Guild to take the alchemist level assessment..." This will also avoid a lot of trouble.
In the Gama Empire... alchemists are incredibly sought after.
Even if he is only a second-grade alchemist, he is still treated as an honored guest.
Upon hearing this, Yan was overjoyed. "Alchemist Assessment"
"Haha... I was just wondering how much my alchemy skills have improved lately. Hearing Yao Chen ask him to take on Xiao Yan's assessment, I was naturally overjoyed..."
Some time ago, Yao Chen asked Xiao Yan to embark on the path of alchemy... Xiao Yan wanted to test his alchemy skills... Initially... Xiao Yan even wanted to test himself with Yao Chen.
But... every time, Yao Chen would run away... saying he wanted to have a long talk with Instructor Ruolin all night... basically, he'd find some excuse to escape...
This also made Yan himself unaware of his current alchemy level.
"Alright, put on your mask and go to the assessment as soon as possible... I don't want you to embarrass me."
Just as Xiao Yan was laughing foolishly, Yao Chen's words reached his ears again... and the next second after the words fell...
A bronze mask also floated out from the air.
Wearing the mask that floated over, Xiao Yan grabbed it.
"Don't worry...you know my talent best, teacher."
"How could I possibly embarrass you..." (Just...)
At this point, Yan rubbed his large hands together. "Hehe, you know that too."
"Compared to my beast fire alchemy... Teacher, your strange fire seems to be better..." "So, could I borrow it for a bit?"
After being defeated by Instructor Ruolin with her strange fire, Xiao Yan finally understood the difference between strange fire and ordinary flames.
It's like comparing heaven and earth; they're not even in the same league.
He clearly had the advantage by relying on Earth-rank combat techniques. But then... a strange fire appeared.
He lost inexplicably.
"What a nuisance!" Yao Chen was extremely unwilling to hear that Xiao Yan wanted to borrow the strange fire from his storage ring. After all... once he gave it to Xiao Yan, that kid got cocky.
Moreover, Xiao Yan, that trash, wielding a strange fire... will definitely attract all sorts of trouble... But... Yao Chen thought for a moment. Still, with a heavy heart, he separated a wisp of fire and gave it to Xiao Yan. "Use it well... Don't let your master down."
"This is a wisp of fire that I have separated from you... You must use it carefully and not waste it."
"Remember to store it in a special jade bottle. Only consume it when needed... Otherwise, with your current physical strength... it's simply not enough to nourish the Silk Flame."
He stripped a wisp of flame from the Bone Spirit Cold Flame… and reluctantly handed it to Xiao Yan.
