Chapter 16: First Meeting with Yao Lao

Yao Lao rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"There are some things you should be careful about!"

But he also knew Xiao Ran's character.

Otherwise, he would not have shown up while Xiao Ran was still here.

After a brief thought, Yao Lao turned to Xiao Yan and said,

"Your fighting spirit has been declining over the past three years."

"But that's why, Aba Aba..."

The master and disciple met each other happily and discussed a lot about Xiao Yan's future training.

Finally, Yao Lao advised,

"If you want to become a true alchemist, you must possess flame fighting spirit."

"So, you must at least become a fighter first, and practice a fire-attributed technique."

"Fire attribute technique?"

"Then teacher, can you give me a heaven-level technique to practice first?" Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and asked for it without any hesitation.

Yao Lao's eyebrows twitched and he cursed angrily,
"You little bastard, do you really think that Heaven-level skills are as cheap as cabbage? How can there be so many?"

Xiao Yan curled his lips.

"Didn't you say that Dan Wang is nothing in front of you?"

"You don't even have this Heaven-level technique. Are you just bragging to trick me into becoming your disciple?"

"The highest fire attribute technique of our Xiao family is only at the advanced yellow level. If it were to be passed on, it would be too embarrassing for me as your disciple."

Yao Lao rolled his eyes helplessly and said,

"I don't have a Heaven-level technique, but there are people around us who do!"

Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard this.

"Heavenly level technique? Who has it?"

Then Xiao Yan followed Yao Lao's gaze and turned to look at Xiao Ran behind the big rock.

"Brother Ran?"

"That's right!" Yao Lao nodded.

He stroked his beard and said mysteriously,

"Although this kid either lies down or sleeps all day, his skills are extremely mysterious."

"You are a rookie who is not even a fighter, so naturally you can't see it."

"But from the perspective of the master, if one can steadily advance in the initial stage of fighting spirit without affecting the speed of cultivation, it must be a heavenly-level technique without a doubt!"

Xiao Ran looked at Yao Lao in surprise.

"Teacher, are you telling the truth?"

Yao Lao Zheng emphasized and nodded.
"You are just a little Lese who has not even reached the level of a fighter. Naturally, you can't see the power of his skills."

Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva and said in astonishment,
"No, how come Brother Ran has a Heaven-level technique? Is it the technique that our Xiao family treasures?"

Yao Lao curled his lips and said disdainfully,

"Your Xiao family? Bah!"

"Let alone your tiny Wutan City, even in the entire Jiama Empire, or even the entire Northwest Continent, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a single Heaven-level technique."

"what?!"

Xiao Yan swallowed hard, obviously shocked.

He turned and looked at Xiao Ran with a look full of envy and a bit of resentment.

We clearly agreed to be useless together, but you were secretly practicing a heavenly-level technique?

How could Xiao Yan remain calm after hearing this?

It took me a while to come back to my senses and I swallowed hard.

Then he looked at Yao Lao eagerly.

"Then teacher, if I want to practice the Heaven-level technique, can you discuss it with Brother Ran..."

"I want to be able to practice while sleeping too!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan's saliva was about to fall on him and the abacus was about to jump onto his face, Yao Lao pushed Xiao Yan's head away with disgust. "Go away, just like what Ran said, you are only dreaming of getting married!"

Xiao Yan touched his head a little aggrieved.

Yao Lao's tone also softened.

Then he said earnestly,
"Your brother's martial arts have some tricks. He sleeps every day to practice his martial arts."

"If someone else were to practice this, they would have probably fallen into a deep sleep and never woke up again!"

"Really?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but shudder.

It was the first time he heard that practicing martial arts could cause a person to die in sleep.

"Otherwise, do you think that Ran and his girlfriend have such a good relationship, why not let her lie down and practice with him, wouldn't that be great?"

Looking at the deeply shocked Xiao Yan, Yao Lao shook his head slightly without explaining too much.

There are some things that Xiao Yan should not know now.

He sighed softly and spoke slowly,
"Some things that are good for others may not necessarily be suitable for you. You have your own path to walk, and your teacher has planned it all for you."

"Although I don't have a Heaven-level technique, I have one that's very suitable for you. It's even more bizarre than a Heaven-level technique..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a yawn.

I saw Xiao Ran sticking his head out from the other side of the boulder and stretching lazily.

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Xiao Ran and Medicine Master Xiao Yan stared at each other.

"Hey, Ran, Ran, are you awake?"

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, forced a smile, and greeted Xiao Ran.

He didn't dare let Xiao Ran know that he had just been planning to steal his martial arts.

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and said unhappily,

"Pah, pah, pah, I will never sleep here again next time!"

"It's so noisy and annoying!"

Then Xiao Ran looked at Yao Lao who was standing beside the big rock with a half-smile and said,

"It turns out to be you. You finally showed up."

Looking at the transparent soul body on the big stone, with an old face and white hair and beard, this is the world-famous old man with the ring, Yao Lao!

As expected, he looks like a handsome and elegant man, and he was definitely a playboy when he was young!

Yao Lao didn't know how Xiao Ran evaluated him, so he shook his head and smiled.

"As expected of the Xiao family's famous genius! You're not even surprised to see me?"

Xiao Ran secretly despised, I already knew whether you were good or not in the ring.

Yao Lao continued with a smile, "I said that three years ago, there was a soul force that was always there and not there, exploring the ring where I was staying."

"It was only later that I realized it was you."

Xiao Ran clasped his fists towards Yao Lao and said,
"I am also worried about Emperor Yan's safety. Please forgive me, old sir."

Yao Lao curled his lips.

"You are judging others by your own standards! Xiao Yan is now my last disciple. Are you envious?"

"Fang Ran, if you are willing to kowtow and become my disciple, I can consider it..."

"Hey, where are you going?"

Xiao Ran said without even turning his head: "I'm going back to my room to sleep!"

Yao Lao and Xiao Yan rolled their eyes almost in sync.

"Don't go, don't go! Let's have a good talk! I have something else I want to ask you!" Yao Lao said.

Xiao Ran stopped and turned to look at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan.

"Old sir, you are Xiao Yan's teacher, so you should teach him. Do we have any intersection? What is there to talk about?"

"By the way, old man, I still like your previous unruly and rebellious look. Please restore it."
