Chapter 89: Xiao Yan showing off his chicken soup

He curled his lips a little impatiently, took it out and put it on the counter.

"Coptis chinensis essence, a low-level medicinal material, worth one hundred gold coins."

Xiao Yan didn't care about the clerk's attitude.

He readily paid a hundred gold coins and then asked,

"Do you still have Coptis chinensis extract here? If so, I will buy a lot."

When the clerk heard Xiao Yan's voice, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Judging from the tone of his voice, he is definitely a wealthy man.

Not knowing which family this prodigal son was, he quickly smiled and said to Xiao Yan,
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, sir. I will go and get our steward Yao right away."

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a goatee came to the counter and bowed to Xiao Yan.

"Dear guest, I am Manager Yao from Wanyaozhai. May I ask if you need Huanglian essence?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

"Yes, I need some good quality ones. How many do you have here?"

Manager Yao smiled and nodded and said,

"Wanyaozhai is the largest pharmacy in Qingshan Town, so it naturally has a lot of inventory. Please follow me."

As he spoke, he took Xiao Yan to a medicine cabinet behind a counter.

Open the cabinet door and it is filled with densely packed boxes.

After selecting five or six boxes, Manager Yao placed them on the counter.

He gestured to Xiao Yan.

"Please choose your choice, my dear guest."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

His eyes swept over the Coptis chinensis essence in the wooden box.

I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, as there was only the previous piece of blood lotus essence.

I randomly picked some good quality Coptis chinensis essence.

At this time, Manager Yao asked with a smile,

"What's your name, sir?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Why? Do customers need to introduce themselves and their origins when buying things from you?"

Manager Yao waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I just felt that your face was similar to a mysterious young man I met a few months ago, so I asked this question."

"The last few months? Young sir?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, and his mind instantly thought of a few months ago when his sworn brother Xiao Rancheng went out for training.

Yao Lao also said at the time that it was very likely that they entered the Monster Mountain Range through the Monster Qingshan Town.

He hurriedly asked,
"Who is the young man that Manager Yao mentioned?"

Manager Yao said with a smile,

"I don't know who it is exactly, but I heard that Miss Xiao Yixian called that adult, Brother Xiao Ran."

"flutter!"

Xiao Yan almost spit out saliva.

He hurriedly piled the selected coptis essence aside and said to Manager Yao, "I want all of this coptis essence."

"And can you tell me something about that young lord?"

Manager Yao was all smiles.
"Of course. This is known to everyone in Qingshan Town. It's not a secret."

Saying,

Manager Yao then instructed the clerk nearby to help Xiao Yan pack up all the Coptis chinensis essence and settle the gold coins.

While saying to Xiao Yan,

"That young man is about the same age as you, and his face is somewhat similar. Could it be that you are a member of that young man's clan?"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and did not comment.

Asked the topic that I care most about.
"Manager Yao, can you tell me what realm that young Master Xiao Ran is in?"

Manager Yao chuckled.

He shook his head and said,

"I don't know the specific realm of that mysterious master."

"But he once fought in Qingshan Town, so he must be at least a fighter-master level warrior."

"What?" Xiao Yan was shocked.

Brother Ran has already reached the level of a fighting master?

In just a moment, Xiao Yan was immersed in immense shock.

He went through untold hardships and suffered countless sufferings before he was able to advance from the third level of Dou Qi to the first star of Dou Zhe in just one year.

But I never expected that when Ran Ge was tested a year ago, his knowledge was only at the eighth level of Dou Qi.

But in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
If the old hen turns into a duck directly, it means that she is at least a strong fighter at the level of a fighting master?

This made Xiao Yan deeply doubt whether all the efforts and sweat he put into cultivation were worth it.

Just as Xiao Xiaoyan was immersed in the great fear and confusion in his heart,

Yao Lao's voice came from my mind.

"Come to your senses!"

Xiao Yan quickly came back to his senses.

Yao Lao's voice rang in my mind.

"Xiao Yanzi, this is how the world is."

"But you must know that you are still the most outstanding genius in Wutan City. You are my proudest disciple!"

"What about Brother Ran?" Xiao Yan looked a little uninterested.

Yao Lao said earnestly: "He is not a genius!"

Before Xiao Yan could be happy, he heard Yao Lao speak.

"He is a monster."

Xiao Yan: "..."

Yao Lao said slowly again: "You should think like this, although your realm is lower than his, you can still call him Brother Ran."

"If you are in trouble someday, does that mean his strength is no longer your strength?"

"Also, a man's word is worth a thousand gold. Your fiancée is still waiting for you on Yunlan Mountain!"

"You haven't even conquered your fiancée yet, so what right do you have to not work hard?"

Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan’s eyes instantly lit up and he slapped his forehead.

"Yes! The more powerful Brother Ran is, the stronger my background and support will be."

Why did Nalan Yanran dare to break off the engagement? Wasn't it because she had joined the Yunlan Sect and worshipped the leader of the Yunlan Sect as her master, and had the powerful Yunlan Sect as her backing?
As Brother Ran becomes more powerful, his background will become stronger.

At that time, I just need to say, my brother is Xiao Ran, who dares to touch him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal a longing smile.

Seeing Xiao Yan come to his senses,
Yao Lao's eyes turned, he stroked his beard and continued,

"And, have you forgotten?"

"Your path of cultivation is more advantageous than Xiao Ran's!"

Xiao Yan asked in confusion: "What advantages do I have?"

Yao Lao laughed and said, "A seed as sentimental as Xiao Ran is definitely not able to cultivate with all his heart."

"Listen to what Manager Yao said just now about the Little Medical Fairy, and she's a girl. With your brother's personality, how can he not be merciful?"

"Hehe, think about it carefully. If you have this piece of information, you may need it in front of your sister-in-law Ran in the future... Hehe!"

"By then, he will cry and beg you to let him go!"

"So, in this world, being strong is not necessarily about strength, but more important are means and brains!"

After listening to Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

He hurriedly said to Manager Yao,
"Manager Yao, the young man you just mentioned is very likely one of my clan brothers."

Manager Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.

"I wonder if you are ..."

"My name is Xiao Yan." Xiao Yan smiled and clasped his fists.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's announcement, several mercenaries who were buying items in the store twitched their faces.

After looking at each other, one of the mercenaries put down the items in his hands, turned around and walked out quickly.

Yao Lao reminded Xiao Yan in his mind.

"Xiao Yanzi, be careful of those mercenaries, something is wrong."

Xiao Yan nodded calmly. He was not afraid of anything.

With the old man possessed by him, he didn't even take the mercenary at the seven-star fighter level seriously.

"By the way, Manager Yao, can you tell me about the girl who is the Little Medical Fairy?"
