Chapter 14: Yao Lao learns and sells chicken soup

"I told you I'm not a ghost! I'm a spirit!"

The transparent old man was furious and looked at Xiao Ran not far away with some resentment.

It was all my fault for only showing up when I was under the right pressure.

But I didn't expect that the simple-minded boy would become like this next to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Yan ignored the old man's complicated thoughts.

"It's all the same!"

"Well, find me a girl as beautiful as my previous fiancée to be my wife."

"Whether it's a human or a ghost, even a monster, I don't mind it. Then we are even."

The transparent old man stroked his forehead helplessly, his old face also wearing a mask of pain.

“It seems that we only know the value of some people or things after we lose them.”

"But what I want to tell you is that no matter whether the fiancée you want is a human, a ghost, or a monster, I am powerless."

Xiao Yan snorted coldly.

"Humph! If you can't do it, then stop talking nonsense!"

"Although I don't know who you are, I want to tell you that the ring was left to me by my mother! It's mine!"

"Let's part ways. Get as far away from me as possible! Stop thinking about absorbing my fighting spirit!"

Having said that, Xiao Yan's eyes turned.

Looking at Xiao Ran who was sleeping beside the big rock, he pointed at Xiao Ran and said,

"Well, go find him. He has much more fighting spirit than me. I can't afford to support you."

The transparent old man rolled his eyes helplessly.

"It's just a wife, what's the big deal? Look at your ambition."

"What? Isn't it just a wife? That's a lifelong companion, okay? It's not a big deal?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and sneered,
"An old ghost like you must have been a playboy and irresponsible guy when you were young!"

"Cough cough!"

The transparent old man coughed twice, thinking that Xiao Yan was just farting.

Then he stared at Xiao Yan eagerly and asked directly,

"Little kid, do you want to become stronger?"

"Do you want to defeat your fiancée and take her back to you?"

"Do you want to have countless beautiful wives and concubines?"

"Let me tell you, in this Douqi continent, only the strong have the right to have priority in choosing a spouse!"

"As long as you can become a truly strong person, you will not only be respected by others!"

"Besides, there are thousands of beautiful women in the world for you to choose from."

"At that time, will you still worry about a mere fiancée? Will you still worry about not being able to find a wife?"

Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Yan snorted coldly.

"Humph, don't think I don't know your little plan!"

"Your abacus has already jumped into my face! After all this talk, don't you just want to stay in my ring?"

"I'm telling you, there's no way!"

"I now know why my fighting spirit disappeared. With my talent, I will be able to cultivate back to being a fighter soon."

"hehe!"

The transparent old man curled his lips and smiled.

"You are certainly talented, but you have to know that you are now fourteen years old, and will soon be fifteen, but your fighting spirit is only at the third level."

"Next year, you will be sixteen years old. It's time for your coming-of-age ceremony, right?"

"Do you think, with your talent, you can soar to the seventh level of fighting spirit through diligent practice in just one year?"

"This..." Xiao Yan hesitated after hearing this.

"If you rely on yourself to practice, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you can only do odd jobs in the market of your Xiao family as your brother said, and that will be the end of your life."

"Even after three years, you will just have to keep your tail between your legs and disappear into the crowd, as if you had never appeared in this world." "And your sworn brother Xiao Ran,"

The old man pointed at Xiao Ran who was sitting on the small couch next to the big rock and continued to say to Xiao Yan,
"I don't need me to tell you that he has extraordinary talent!"

"In the future, I will definitely reach the top of the Jiama Empire and even a wider area!"

"Don't you want to follow him at that time?"

"Are you willing to remain unknown for the rest of your life?"

Listening to the ups and downs of the transparent old man's words.

Xiao Yan's face flushed slightly, and his emotions were obviously very agitated.

Just as he was about to speak, a breeze suddenly blew by, and he suddenly remembered that his fighting spirit was sucked away by this old guy.

He immediately flew into a rage, gritting his teeth and cursing,
"If you, old man, hadn't absorbed my energy, how could I have endured this kind of humiliation?"

The transparent old man put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly.

Just when I was about to show off, I heard Xiao Ran's angry shout.

"A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?!"

"I fucking did it!"

"..."

The transparent old man prepared several pots of chicken soup, but he had no choice but to keep it to himself.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was full of fighting spirit, he nodded with satisfaction.

Inadvertently looked at Xiao Ran who was standing beside the big rock.

He is worthy of being the sworn brother of his promising disciple Xiao Yan.

Although he has not sold his rings over the years, he is still aware of what is happening in the outside world.

He also admired Xiao Ran's non-competitive and indifferent character.

That's why he appeared in front of Xiao Yan in front of Xiao Ran.

Of course, if he didn’t show up, who knows who would pick up the ring and how long he would have to wait.

As for Xiao Yan, the transparent old man discovered that this kid seemed to like this "chicken soup" thing very much.

In the past three years, the Xiao family has had more than just Xiao Yan, a genius.

Therefore, Xiao Yan often practiced and practiced, and wanted to give up if he didn't make any progress.

Often, Xiao Ran only needed to give Xiao Yan a few encouraging words, and Xiao Yan would feel as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and would start practicing hard again.

He saw it with his own eyes and kept it in mind.

Sure enough, just now Xiao Yan was somewhat decadent and was only thinking about his fiancée.

He drank a few bowls of chicken soup that imitated Xiao Ran's, which immediately boosted Xiao Yan's fighting spirit.

Although the momentum that had just been brewing and the finished chicken soup had disappeared at this moment.

But the ultimate goal was achieved.

The transparent old man turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan.

"Little kid, do you want to become an alchemist?"

"Alchemist? Are you an alchemist?"

"Could it be that I can become an alchemist?"

Hearing the words of the transparent old man, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Alchemists are extremely rare in the Douqi Continent.

They have noble status and are divided into nine grades from low to high.

Because of his noble status and rarity, even a huge force like the Yunlan Sect would treat him as an honored guest.

I thought that if I took it seriously one day, I could become a pharmacist.

At that time, when I went to Yunlan Sect again.

Thinking of Nalan Yanran at that time, the clear, stupid and surprised look in her eyes when she saw me again.

Xiao Yan suddenly laughed triumphantly.
