The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Jiang Nan didn't disturb him, after all, the choice Xiao Yan faced this time was quite important.

Should I become an apprentice or not?

When Xiao Yan first learned that someone had absorbed his fighting spirit, he was furious.

Even in the original novel, he angrily cursed Yao Chen.

He even threw the ring off the cliff.

He completely forgot that the ring was a keepsake left to him by his mother.

However, as time went by, Xiao Yan gradually finished reading the entire "Battle Through the Heavens".

He also learned about some of Yao Chen's past.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

Xiao Yan chose to become an apprentice.

He definitely needs a protector.

He also needs someone who can teach him alchemy.

The power of the medicinal dust is extremely strong.

In the original story, he single-handedly trained him into a Dou Di-level powerhouse.

Yao Chen smiled happily when he saw Xiao Yan kneeling down to become his disciple.

“My name is Yao Chen. You can call me Yao Lao. Of course, given your current status, you can also call me Teacher or Master.”

After Xiao Yan kowtowed three times, he was officially accepted as a disciple.

Yao Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"I observe that your soul power is extraordinary, making you a promising candidate to become an alchemist. If you cultivate a fire-attribute technique, you can become an alchemist."

Xiao Yan stood up and dusted off his legs.

"Would fire magic work?"

Xiao Yan opened his hand, and a ball of flame appeared in an instant.

This is a basic spell for the Qi Refining stage: the Small Fireball spell.

"This is an open flame."

Yao Chen felt extremely surprised.

In order for the power of battle qi to ignite a bright flame, in addition to being exceptionally strong, it also needs to absorb flames.

For example, animal fire.

"My good disciple! Your cultivation system is truly remarkable. This alchemy technique seems to be a perfect match for you."

Xiao Yan put away the small fireball.

"I originally wanted to cultivate for a while longer before learning alchemy, but now that I have a teacher, I can do both at the same time, since I cultivate anytime, anywhere."

"Oh!"

Yao Chen suddenly looked at Xiao Yan seriously.

The powerful soul force scanned Xiao Yan's entire body like a radar.

Yao Chen suddenly realized that the fighting spirit in the surrounding air was entering Xiao Yan's body with his breathing and being converted into energy within him.

"Your breathing has such an effect, each breath is like cultivation. Who invented this technique? This person is definitely a genius. With this breathing method, the body will be in a state of cultivation 24 hours a day. As long as you live long enough, even a good-for-nothing can become a genius."

Yao Chen instantly realized the terrifying power of the breathing technique.

Xiao Yan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"This was created by my two friends, one a genius and the other a monster."

Yao Chen nodded.

"If Xiao Yanzi's technique is revealed to the world, it will surely attract countless powerful individuals to fight over it. Remember this well: you must keep it hidden. Never reveal it to anyone other than someone you trust."

"is it so serious?"

Xiao Yan thought that this was making a big fuss over nothing. It was just a breathing technique.

Yao Chen shook his head. As a peak Dou Zun, he had experienced and witnessed many things. He had seen people who were as close as brothers kill each other over a low-rank cultivation technique, and he had seen masters and disciples betray each other for a little bit of benefit.

This cultivation method allows for 24-hour offline training and is highly needed by everyone from children just beginning to cultivate battle qi to powerful Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) cultivators.

Moreover, if it falls into the hands of a family.

This technique will become their foundation.

It will cultivate a continuous stream of strong individuals for this family.

Even a useless person can become a powerful force if they train long enough.

"You underestimate the wickedness of human nature. You are only 15 years old and too young. Your breathing cultivation method is quite unique among the countless cultivation methods I have seen, and it is even comparable to some Heaven-rank cultivation methods."

"what?"

Xiao Yan suddenly felt that he was pretty awesome, having just learned a Heaven-rank cultivation technique.

But Yao Chen could see much further.

He understood the value of this breathing technique.

If Xiao Yan wants to establish his own power in the future, then this breathing technique will become the foundation for his survival.

This can help Xiao Yan cultivate more powerful individuals.

"Remember, before you have absolute power, you must never reveal this breathing technique to people you don't trust. If one day you want to build your own power, this breathing technique will provide you with a continuous stream of powerful subordinates."

Yao Chen spoke seriously, giving Xiao Yan some instructions.

Seeing Yao Chen's serious expression, Xiao Yan realized just how terrifying a breathing technique that allowed one to be in a state of cultivation at all times truly was.

"I understand, Master."

"very good."

Jiang Nan watched the two masters and disciples with some boredom.

"By the way, didn't we come here to find bodyguards in the first place? Don't forget our purpose."

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan were slightly taken aback.

We've all forgotten about the important matter.

“Master, this is what happened. There are three major families in Wutan City, and our Xiao family is one of them. Now we have a conflict with the Jialie family…”

Xiao Yan recounted the events of the past two days and his intention to take action against the Jia Lie family.

Yao Chen nodded after listening.

"I see. This matter is not difficult to handle."

Although Yao Chen was only in a soul state, he had the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, so killing a Dou Huang powerhouse was no problem for him.

A family that only has Great Battle Masters.

Yao Chen could destroy it with a wave of his hand.

As long as the patriarch and the Grand Dou Master of the Jia Lie family are killed, without the protection of powerful figures, all of the family's businesses in Wutan City will be easily swallowed up by the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan is not a bloodthirsty person.

"Teacher, as long as you kill their family patriarch and the Great Dou Master, there will be no problem. Without the protection of the Great Dou Master, all of the Jia Lie family's businesses will just be a piece of fat meat. Although the family elders are a bit stupid, I don't believe they won't be tempted by such a big piece of fat meat in front of them."

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that these three years have made you grow a lot, and you even have many insightful ideas when thinking about problems."

Jiang Nan picked up some fruit and started eating it out of boredom.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen began to plan when would be the best time to make their move.

It's best to do it at night; a dark and windy night makes it easiest to destroy evidence and cover up the crime.

Utan City is, after all, part of the territory of the Gama Empire.

There are also soldiers of the Empire here.

If one were to commit murder openly, it would attract the attention of the Gama Empire and warrant their arrest.

Xiao Yan did not believe that he currently possessed the power to rival an empire.

Chapter 220, The Troublemakers Have Arrived

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking about when to make his move.

There was a knock on his door.

"Brother Xiao Yan."

It's Xun'er.

Xiao Yan glanced at the medicine dust floating in front of him.

"Quick, hide!"

Xiao Yan put the antique ring back on his hand.

The old man's body transformed into a stream of light and entered the ring directly.

"coming."

Xiao Yan composed himself and opened the door.

"It's Xun'er!"

Xun'er glanced at Xiao Yan's room.

Only Jiang Nan sat in a chair eating fruit.

“Strange, Brother Xiao Yan, I clearly felt there were three people in the room just now.”
