The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

It was as if he were a very kind boss.

But Yao Chen didn't understand.

Refund? What refund? Are you trying to spite me?

However, he knew exactly what he was getting a refund for the next moment.

Jiang Nan stretched out his hand, and a terrifying suction force appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Chen's soul power was absorbed.

It sucks it away little by little.

Yao Chen could feel his body becoming transparent at a visible speed.

Now he understands; this is what a refund means.

To put it simply, it means you will die.

Knowing this, Yao Chen naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom.

A terrifying, cold white flame suddenly appeared.

This is the strange fire controlled by Yao Chen.

He didn't want to die; he hadn't yet killed the disciple who had betrayed him.

Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

It ranks 11th on the list of strange flames.

It is a unique flame that combines extreme cold and extreme heat, and can only be encountered in extremely cold and yin places once every hundred years, when the sun and moon alternate.

Bone Spirit Cold Fire possesses the unique ability to combine ice and fire, capable of freezing thousands of miles. While it feels cold, it actually inflicts burning damage.

"A strange fire! Pretty good, I'll take it."

Jiang Nan chuckled softly.

The eerie flames surrounding them were originally intended to attack Jiang Nan.

But as soon as those words fell...

Yao Chen only felt the bone spirit cold fire in his body disappear.

The surrounding flames began to gather together, becoming a spark.

That was the seed of a strange fire.

Once you devour and refine this fire seed, you can control the strange fire.

The strange fire of the medicine dust was forcibly extracted, and without anyone noticing.

"It's over!"

In that instant, Yao Chen realized that this seemingly young boy possessed unfathomable strength.

The strange fire was taken away without warning.

The soul of the Dou Zun can be suppressed at will.

"Are you going to die?"

Yao Chen thought to himself.

His figure became increasingly ethereal and indistinct.

If he were a ghost, then he would be utterly destroyed by now.

"You're quite stubborn, really. It's just a three-year job as a security guard, but you'd rather die a horrible death and have your soul scattered for it."

Jiang Nan spoke with obvious helplessness.

It was as if I were witnessing the end of a hero.

Yao Chen suddenly grasped the key point of that sentence.

"Wait, I'm willing to protect you for three years, even if it costs me my old life."

Yao Chen spoke loudly, as if afraid Jiang Nan wouldn't hear him.

"Hey, you should have said so earlier! You should have said so earlier!"

Jiang Nan smiled slightly and stopped absorbing Yao Chen's soul power.

At this moment, Yao Chen's entire body was as transparent as glass.

Only a vague human-shaped outline could be seen.

Jiang Nan flicked his finger, sending the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the soul energy he had just absorbed into Yao Chen's body.

The color of Yao Chen's soul was recovering at a visible speed.

It eventually returned to its semi-transparent state.

"Young friend, your methods are truly terrifying."

"I'm still a little scared," Yao Chen said, recovering from his shock.

This method reminded him of the Soul Palace.

The Soul Palace's fighting techniques are specifically designed to counter the soul.

But what's even more terrifying is that Jiang Nan was able to silently strip him of his strange fire.

It's worth noting that Yao Chen went through countless near-death experiences to subdue the strange fire.

This guy just said a few words and he made the strange fire behave itself.

Comparing people to each other is so annoying!

"A little trick, a little trick. I'm sure you'll be very glad you made this choice later."

Yao Chen glanced at Xiao Yan.

After thinking it over, he finally spoke up.

"I wonder if you would be willing to become my apprentice? Of course, if you refuse, I will still protect you for three years."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Why do you want me to be your apprentice, sir?"

Yao Chen seemed to remember something and spoke up.

"First of all, young friend, I must apologize for absorbing your fighting spirit without your permission all these years."

Jiang Nan nodded in satisfaction.

"Old Deng is pretty sensible! He knows he should apologize when he does something wrong."

Yao Chen glanced at Jiang Nan, clearly showing that this behavior was giving Jiang Nan a lot of face.

He then continued speaking to Xiao Yan.

"I have woken up several times over the past three years and observed you. I found that you have an exceptionally strong will, so I decided to take you as my disciple. However, my soul has only recently stabilized."

Yao Chen began to explain.

"But you should have noticed that I'm not practicing battle qi, and you can't guide me with that kind of power."

"But I can guide you in alchemy, so you must know my identity. Besides being a Dou Zun, I am also an eighth-grade alchemy master, only one step away from becoming a ninth-grade alchemist. Moreover, I have gone a long way in my cultivation journey. Although my experience may not be useful, it is certainly of reference value."

Yao Chen laid his cards on the table.

Jiang Nan suddenly realized that Yao Chen was the most amazing angel investor.

I noticed Xiao Yan's special qualities from the very beginning.

They directly invested in the legendary chosen one.

He became Xiao Yan's master.

Later, he even came to the Great Thousand World and became the Supreme Elder of the Endless Fire Domain, reaching the late stage of the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Even in the Central Continent, Yao Chen's qualifications can only be considered relatively good.

Compared to the super geniuses of the eight ancient clans, Yao Chen is still somewhat lacking.

Without a great opportunity, Yao Chen estimated that he would only reach the level of a half-saint in his lifetime.

High investment, high risk, high return.

Yao Chen's investment was returned a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold.

Not only did he break through to the Dou Di realm, but he also witnessed the three thousand great worlds beyond the Dou Qi Continent.

Even though the plot has changed now.

Yao Chen still chose to invest.

Xiao Yan felt that Yao Chen was right; everyone's path to enlightenment is different.

Having a protector makes the path to enlightenment much easier.

Compared to the other cultivators in the group, he seemed to be the most ordinary.

Ji Guoyuan is the son of God, the darling of heaven and earth, and the biological son of the world's consciousness. He was born with markings that allow him to see through the world. He comprehended the Sun Breathing Technique on his own. His physique, comprehension, and talent are all of the highest level. He entered the Dao in one step as soon as he started cultivating immortality and became a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Don't let Lu Mingfei's usual carefree attitude fool you. He's always following the group leader around, spouting nonsense and flattering people. But his true identity is a monster, and when he gets angry, even he himself is afraid.

Chapter 219, Steins;Gate

As for the group leader Jiang Nan, he is an even greater exception.

He probably didn't even embark on the path of cultivation before he ate an immortal pill and ascended to immortality on the spot.

Compared to them, Xiao Yan's only advantage is that, being a transmigrator, his soul power is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

There's no comparison!

"Young friend, have you made your decision?"

Yao Chen asked.
