Simultaneous travel: I have forged an immortal name in the heavens

late at night.

Even the most joyful gatherings have to come to an end.

After learning that the Xiao family's rise was unstoppable, the attitudes of the other two family heads in Wutan City changed 180 degrees.

Since there is no way to suppress the Xiao family, it is better to just show weakness.

This is what smart people do, their mindset changes quickly.

The heads of both families implicitly expressed that they were willing to acknowledge the Xiao family's unique status in Wutan City, and were willing to become second-rate families and no longer oppose the Xiao family.

"Brother Xiao, there were a lot of people outside just now, and I am embarrassed. I will kowtow to you, and ask you to forgive us, okay?"

Xiao Zhan also knew that although the Xiao family seemed to be on the fast track to rise, it still lacked a person who could take on the responsibility.

Go down the steps.

"Hey, what are you two talking about? Let's make progress together and work together. As long as the three of us stand on the same line, let alone Wutan City, the big and small forces around here will still be decided by the three of us."

As for what the three family heads think, it doesn’t matter.

It's all for profit.

Enemies who were fighting to the death one second ago can shake hands and make peace the next.

late at night.

"Ms. Yafei, take care."

Xiao Zhan stood at the door, waved goodbye to the carriage from Mittel Auction House, and stood in the cool evening breeze for a long time.

He squinted his eyes and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

He was mumbling something, but I couldn't tell what he was saying.

The numbness of alcohol and the joy of releasing years of pressure made this man who had always been steadfast in carrying the banner of the Xiao family feel sincerely relieved.

"Father."

A caring voice sounded.

"Hmm? Yan'er, what's the matter?"

Xiao Zhan turned his head and saw his eldest son standing beside him. He was startled and asked with a smile, "Why don't you go back and rest?"

"There is something I think I need to tell my father."

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Xiao Zhan paused slightly, raised his hand, and the guard beside him quickly handed him a coat.

"Let's go back and talk."

Xiao Zhan did not put on the coat himself, but put the coat on Xiao Yan's shoulders and patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Yan felt warm in his heart and was secretly moved. He followed Xiao Zhan's steps back to the Xiao family.

On the road.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"It's about my younger brother." Xiao Yan said hurriedly.

When mentioning Xiao An, Xiao Zhan's expression became more melancholy. After hesitating, he pulled Xiao Yan and stood still.

"Father also has something I want to discuss with you, Yan'er."

"Then let father speak first." Xiao Yan said immediately.

Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, "It's like this, your father plans to send Xiao An to the imperial capital."

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was stunned.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan explained, "Yan'er, you also know that over the years, your father has been focusing on handling family affairs, and has been less concerned and caring for Xiao An, making him seem lonely and isolated in the clan."

"Xiao An won't blame you." Xiao Yan said quickly.

"Haha." Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and waved his hands. "It's okay. You know, our Xiao family has only so many resources. Your father gave you all the resources. Even if Ding'er, Li'er and Xiao'an are not mentioned, your father feels ashamed of them."

"Especially Xiao An. The child has been calm and mature since childhood and never causes trouble. Fortunately, Xun'er is with him." When Xiao Zhan mentioned Xun'er, a barely perceptible haze flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, Xiao An somehow managed to find himself an obedient young wife. Tsk, Xun'er is much more enthusiastic towards Xiao An than towards me." Xiao Yan nodded, scratched the back of his head and smiled, "As for maturity, sometimes I subconsciously feel that he is my brother."

"You kid." Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes and pulled Xiao Yan to a pavilion.

"But the more that child doesn't care, the more guilty I feel. Unfortunately, I can't find the cause of his strange illness, and Wutan City is too small. I want to find an alchemist to help, but I am powerless."

Having said that, Xiao Yan roughly understood what Xiao Zhan meant.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhan said with anticipation, "Although I know that if I force Xiao An into the team, it will attract criticism."

"But it doesn't matter, Xiao family, my words still count!"

"Father would like to ask you, Yan'er, to help your brother think of a solution and take him to the imperial capital. Maybe we can find a cure for him."

"At the very least, he will have a broader vision in the imperial capital, and he can even manage some of the family's business in the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

"Why do you look like that?" Xiao Zhan frowned, "Your father is talking to you about something serious."

"No, no, father, you misunderstood." Xiao Yan said with a smile, "Actually, what I want to say is also related to this matter."

"Oh? What? Could it be that you have found a way to treat Xiao An?" Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up.

"No." Xiao Yan didn't keep it a secret anymore.

He took a deep breath and said to Xiao Zhan seriously, "In fact, Xiao An's illness has been cured!"

"what?"

Xiao Zhan was surprised, then burst out laughing.

"Yan'er, you drank a little too much tonight. How could your father not know whether Xiao An has recovered from his illness?"

"It's true." Xiao Yan said quickly.

"Really?" Xiao Zhan saw that Xiao Yan's expression did not seem to be joking, and his head, which had been a little dizzy due to the alcohol, became much clearer.

"No joke about being a father?"

"How dare the child?"

Xiao Yan immediately told what he had seen and heard.

The result almost made Xiao Zhan drop his jaw.

The voice became stammering.
"You said that Xun'er came out of Xiao'an's room this morning?!"

Xiao Yan wondered why Xiao Zhan reacted so strongly.

There are many members of the family who get married and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Besides, Xun'er is Xiao Zhan's adopted daughter. It would be perfect if she could marry Xiao An. Why is her father so shocked?

"That's right." Xiao Yan suppressed his doubts and nodded, "Since I saw Xiao An this morning, I found that he has recovered and even jumped to the Fighter level!"

"That's it."

Xiao Zhan was thoughtful, his brows furrowed.

"It's strange, why did Xiao An's strange illness suddenly recover, and he even went from the third stage of Dou Qi to Dou Zhe overnight." Xiao Yan scratched his head in confusion, he couldn't figure it out.

"Perhaps the Dou Qi that Xiao An absorbed over the years is actually still there? It just disappeared inexplicably and is back now?"

Xiao Yan speculated, but was interrupted by Xiao Zhan.

"Okay." Xiao Zhan's eyes were deep as he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. "If Xiao An is really well, that's his chance. Let's not ask too much about it."

Xiao Zhan already had some guesses in his mind, but he still had to warn his third son not to go and look for it.

Just pretend you don't know about this
"Okay then." Xiao Yan thought so too and smiled proudly at Xiao Zhan, "Now you won't have any more worries, dad."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's expression gradually relaxed and he smiled triumphantly.

"Okay, okay. Today our Xiao family has three good things coming to us. The future is promising."

Xiao Yan laughed at the side and said, "When you meet Xiao An tomorrow, you have to pretend that you don't know and teach that kid a lesson."

"That's right. Humph, he didn't even bother to tell me, his old father, that he had recovered. It's time to teach him a lesson."

In the villa where Xiao Yan lives.

Although he didn't want his father to send him back, Xiao Zhan still insisted on sending Xiao Yan back.

Watching his father walk away with his head held high, Xiao Yan took a deep breath of contented air.

If it weren't for his father, his brothers, and his family, Xiao Yan would also like to take a rest and stop.

But he knew the burden on his shoulders, so he couldn't stop.

However, after seeing his father straighten his back, Xiao Yan felt that all the hardship and fatigue were worth it.

As if he noticed Xiao Yan's gaze.

Xiao Zhan turned around and waved at Xiao Yan, signaling him to go back to his room quickly.

Inside the room. "Huh, stay for another two or three days and then go back."

Xiao Yan hung up Xiao Zhan's coat, thinking about something.

When I turned on the light, I found that there seemed to be something moving on the bed.

"Hey, this isn't it"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at the dark black ring on the bed, reached out and picked it up to examine it carefully.

"This is not the ring that Xiao An bought."

"He came to see me?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan shrugged and placed the ring on the bedside, planning to ask Xiao An tomorrow.

How can I accept that my brother comes back and I just give him a broken ring?

Xiao Yan quickly took off his coat, sat cross-legged on the bed, and soon entered a state of meditation.

At this moment, a black light emanated from the ring on the bedside.

In the dark space, only a jumping dark white flame illuminated a little light.

"Where is this?"

Xiao Yan came back to his senses from meditation and found himself in an unknown space, and immediately became alert.

Someone wants to target him?

"Is there anyone there?" Xiao Yan was thinking wildly in his mind while trying to feel around.

But no matter how he spoke, no one answered.

Xiao Yan turned around in the darkness and was shocked to find that there was no exit at all.

The panic of the unknown gradually spread in my heart.

Suddenly.

A hoarse and old voice sounded from behind Xiao Yan.

"Kid, stop looking. You can't get out."

"Who?!"

Xiao Yan turned back suddenly.

I was surprised to find that the sound actually came from the jumping ancient white flame.

I couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Are you the flame?"

"Wrong, this is just a place for me to live."

Before speaking, Xiao Yan stared with wide eyes at an illusory figure gradually emerging from the white flames.

"You, you, you, ghost, ghost!"

Even though Xiao Yan was determined, he was still afraid when he saw this.

"madness!"

Walking out of the flames was a handsome but slightly cold face, lifeless white hair, and a hoarse voice of an old man.

Weird, so weird.

At the same time, Xiao Yan noticed that the old man was also wearing a pitch-black ring on his raised hand!

"Old man, may I ask what you want me to do here?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yan calmed himself down, bowed and asked respectfully.

"You are quite polite. You are worthy of being my favorite." The white-haired man laughed dryly and floated in front of Xiao Yan.

Watching a drop of sweat gradually slide down Xiao Yan's forehead.

"You can call me——Medicine Master!"

"Yao Lao?"

"Boy, I won't talk nonsense with you."

"Your fighting spirit is naturally hot with a hint of wood, making you a good candidate to become an alchemist. Are you interested in learning from me?"

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan's body was shocked, "Alchemist?"

"Of course."

'Medicine Master', or Yang An who was remotely controlling the strange fire, nodded pretentiously.

With a slight smile on his face, he looked at Xiao Yan with amusement.

Since there is no medicine master, Yang An suddenly had an idea: why not become a medicine master himself?
In this way, he can not only go to the imperial capital with Xiao Yan, but also take this opportunity to contact Yunshan, and turn the passive situation into active one and intervene in the plot.

It’s a win-win-win situation, and the winner is win-win.

As for whether Xiao Yan would become suspicious, Yang An already had a way to deal with it.

As expected, Xiao Yan looked half-believing and half-doubting. After thinking for a while, he skipped the topic of alchemists and asked, "Excuse me, old man, where is this place?"

"It's just the space inside the ring, so don't even think about getting out without my permission."

Xiao Yan was stunned. So that's why it was so dark here and there was no exit.

But
Seeing Xiao Yan hesitated to speak, Yang An spoke up, "Do you doubt my identity?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded honestly, feeling something was wrong. "I remember that this ring belonged to my fourth brother Xiao An. Why did it appear in my room? Could it be Xiao An, is it you?"

Xiao Yan was not stupid, so he naturally suspected that Yang An was joking with him and playing a prank on him.

But Yang An's acting skills were good, so he naturally wouldn't let himself be easily exposed. He smiled coldly, "You are talking about that young man with good vision, right?"

"Exactly."

Yang An said pretentiously, "That kid's soul power is very strong, and even woke me up from my deep sleep. What a pity."

"What a pity?" Xiao Yan asked hurriedly.

"It's a pity that he doesn't have the talent to become an alchemist." Yang An raised his head, looking down at Xiao Yan, and said calmly, "Then he is not the person I am looking for."

"So you ran to my room by yourself?!" Xiao Yan was stunned.

"Yes."

"." Xiao Yan remained silent, and began to wonder whether what the other party said was true or not.

"Why are you here, and why are you teaching me to become an alchemist?"

Xiao Yan said cautiously, he was naturally familiar with alchemists, there were alchemists in the Yunlan Sect, and at the same time in the mainland, alchemist was one of the most noble professions.

Gu He of the Yunlan Sect did say that Xiao Yan had the potential to become an alchemist, but unfortunately Xiao Yan felt that the other party had ulterior motives towards his teacher Yun Yun and rejected him.

However, I have also made up my mind to find an opportunity to learn alchemy.

But he still understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

This mysterious old man's origins are unknown and he cannot be easily trusted. Xiao Yan thought about it and decided to deal with him first and then find a chance to get out.

But the other party seemed to see through Xiao Yan's thoughts.

"Hmph, don't think about how to get rid of me, unless..."

"Unless what?" Xiao Yan felt a chill in his heart when he saw the strange smile on the old man's face.

"Unless you want the Xiao family to be destroyed!"

The next moment, the indifferent and cold words spoken by the old man made Xiao Yan's eyes widen, and anger flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean, threatening me?!"

"It's not a threat, it's a statement." A strange smile appeared on the old man's face. "I have many enemies. If they knew about this, everyone in your Xiao family would probably have their souls and memories taken away. Wouldn't that be a disaster?"

"." Xiao Yan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Where did this old man come from? Xiao An, Xiao An, you have caused me so much trouble.

"As for my origins, you are not worthy of knowing." The old man's voice became flat again and he waved his hand.

"Your soul strength is not bad, and you have the talent of a pharmacist. You are more than capable of inheriting my legacy."

"I can give you an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow you to make a leap forward!"

"But you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously, not knowing whether the other party was telling the truth.

The old man's eyes were filled with endless anger, and his faint voice echoed in the dark space like a ghost, causing the temperature to drop sharply.

"Avenge me!"
