Chapter 16: Bickering, the Angry Huncang
"Second brother." Hun Cang looked at Xiao Yan, "Do you want to become an alchemist?"

"Yes, brother." Xiao Yan said without hesitation.

If fighters in the Douqi Continent are considered to be strong professions that are respected and admired, then alchemists are a profession that is even more desirable and sought after than fighters.

As the name suggests, alchemists are able to refine various magical elixirs to enhance strength.

This kind of magical method makes any force want to win over such an existence, and his status and position are extremely prominent.

If someone is given the choice of killing one person between a Dou Wang and a fourth-grade alchemist.

Ninety-nine percent of people will choose to kill Dou Wang.

It is only because the alchemist can gather a complex network of relationships based on his own alchemy skills.

If you succeed in killing the alchemist, it will be fine. But if you fail, you will be hunted down by those who have received favors from the alchemist.

"But..." Xiao Yan's excitement faded and he faced reality. "Brother, the requirements to become an alchemist are very strict. I may not be able to meet them."

Hun Cang smiled faintly: "Second brother, have you ever seen me say anything groundless?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then he said ecstatically: "Brother, do you mean that I meet the conditions?"

"That's right." Hun Cang nodded. "If you are willing, I will find a teacher for you to teach you step by step. The premise is that you must study hard and not slack off!"

"No problem, big brother. I'm willing to do it. You may not know that when I was in high school, I got up at six in the morning to read, and I would light a lamp to read at two in the middle of the night." Xiao Yan was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Sleeping four hours a day? Cultivating immortals... Hun Cang was choked and subconsciously said, "Second brother is so hardworking, he must have been admitted to a good university, right?"

Xiao Yan touched his nose and said shyly: "No, I only read novels."

"..." Hun Cang was speechless, "What novel? I loved it before, too. Tell me the name."

"How can a golden fish stay in a pond? The fields are filled with fragrance of flowers. The young man Abin..." Xiao Yan frowned as he thought. It had been too long and he could not remember clearly.

Hun Cang's eyes widened: "Carrying a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night?"

"Fuck, brother, it turns out you are also from the same group!" Xiao Yan showed an evil smile.

"What kind of books are these? Why have I never heard of them?" Yao Chen couldn't help himself and crawled out of the ring.

“Ahem…” Hun Cang glared at Xiao Yan, “It’s normal that you don’t understand. This is a book from my hometown.”

He pointed at Xiao Yan and warned him, "Don't mention it again. I'm a student of Spring and Autumn Annals, how could I discuss this with you?"

Speaking of this, Hun Cang sighed.

Xiao Yan laughed and felt a deeper sense of intimacy with Hun Cang.

As expected, we are fellow countrymen, and we all have similar interests and hobbies.

Then, he seemed to remember something and looked at Yao Chen suddenly: "Old man, why are you here? And eavesdropping?! You are used to eavesdropping, right? You are disrespectful to your elders!"

"What?! You little brat, you dare to scold me?" Yao Chen was still pondering the direct conversation between Hun Cang and Xiao Yan, but when he heard Xiao Yan speak, he was like a lion with its fur standing on end.

Xiao Yan put his hands on his hips and said in a heroic tone, "Did I say anything wrong? You stole my Dou Qi for three years and made me laugh for three years. Now I get annoyed every time I see you. If I didn't think you were a soul, I would smash your skull into pieces!"

With Hun Cang around, Xiao Yan fully demonstrated what it meant to take advantage of the power of another.

Hun Cang raised his hand and said, "Alright, stop arguing."

"Humph!"

Two cold snorts came out at the same time.

Yao Chen glanced in another direction unhappily, and Xiao Yan also looked in the opposite direction when he saw this.

Hun Cang looked at Xiao Yan and thought to himself, "Second brother, don't blame me for letting you down. We still have to go on as planned. You just have to suffer a little more." He said in a deep voice, "Second brother, the alchemist I mentioned to you just now..."

As he said this, he raised his hand and pointed at Yao Chen, "This is the teacher I told you about. He is very accomplished in alchemy. You will have no problem learning from him."

Seeing Xiao Yan's gaze sweeping over him, Yao Chen crossed his arms over his chest and raised his head.

Xiao Yan said unhappily: "Brother, can this old guy do it? If he really has the ability, can he become a residual soul? Don't be fooled by him."

“…” Hun Cang was speechless.

There was something wrong with what Xiao Yan said. Yao Chen did look a bit miserable right now.

Who would have thought that Yao Chen was also a respectable man, a Dou Zun strongman, and an eighth-grade alchemist when he was alive?

"You little brat, you have a shrimp and a pig heart!" Yao Chen, who was trying to pretend to be cool, couldn't hold it in anymore and his face twisted.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.

Yao Chen said angrily, "Humph, you don't want to learn. That's good. I don't want to teach you either. You're only fifteen years old and still have the third level of fighting power. This is the first time I've seen such a piece of trash in my life. You must be too stupid to be taught."

“You old fool, you still have the nerve to bring this up. Who caused this? Don’t you have any idea?” Xiao Yan rushed in front of Yao Chen and started punching him.

Unfortunately, Yao Chen was in soul form at the moment, so he couldn't hit him at all and all of his attacks went through him.

Yao Chen looked pleased. Seeing Xiao Yan stop panting, he smiled and said, "Are you weak at such a young age? We've only been fighting for a while. Keep going."

"Hey, I, I...Brother, you see this old man is bullying me, please help me." Xiao Yan turned around and looked for Hun Cang.

It would be fine if you bullied me in the past, but now that I have a big brother, how can I still let you, an old thing, be so arrogant?
Hun Cang held his forehead with one hand.

It's really unbearable to watch. How could things have come to this? Where is the happy relationship between master and disciple?
As the culprit, Hun Cang started to complain instead.

"That's enough, the noise is annoying me!"

Gathering his thoughts, Hun Cang let out a low cry and his expression suddenly became serious.

Suddenly, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan were like two primary school students who had made mistakes. They stood obediently in front of Hun Cang and dared not move.

"Second brother..."

"Brother, I'm here."

“We haven’t spent much time together, so you may not understand me, but I hate people who don’t keep their promises.

As the saying goes, a word is as good as a nail. Since you promised me, you should learn from Yao Chen well. If you really learn the profession of alchemist well, no one will look down on you no matter where you go in the future."

Hun Cang spoke earnestly, mixed with some anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Why does this sound like New Oriental?

"Brother, I'll be obedient. Don't worry, I will study hard and strive to become a pharmacist as soon as possible." Xiao Yan said seriously.

Hun Cang nodded in satisfaction: "Let Yao Chen stay with you from now on. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask him for advice. Don't worry about your fighting spirit. I used a special medicine. He no longer needs to absorb your fighting spirit."

"Thank you, brother." Xiao Yan was touched.

The medicine that can restore the soul must be expensive...

My elder brother really cares about me. I must work hard and not let him down.
