In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 120 Xiao Yan: A Kind-hearted Man Who Loves to Help Others

Night falls.

Xiao Ding and Xue Lan, both dressed in bright red, held a grand banquet in the training ground.

Of course, it wasn't a wedding, but rather Xiao Ding and Xue Lan getting engaged!

As for the wedding, it will have to wait until after I return to Wutan City and meet my father, Xiao Zhan, before the wedding ceremony can be held.

Xue Lan, Xiao Ding's fiancée, looked at Xiao Ran with great gratitude.

If Xiao Ran hadn't spoken up,

She probably doesn't know when she'll finally be able to stand by Xiao Ding's side.

After all, they're in the mercenary business...

No one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

Led by his second brother Xiao Li, along with several managers from the mercenary group, they relentlessly forced Xiao Ding to drink.

This made Xue Lan feel very sorry for her.

This amused the mercenaries, who burst into laughter.

A table is set up on the high platform of the training ground.

Sitting there were the three brothers, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ran.

Sitting next to Xiao Ding was another protagonist of the day, Xue Lan.

Xiao Ran was standing next to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Ran asked Xiao Qing to sit next to him, but no matter what he said, she refused. Xiao Ran was helpless.

All I can do is hope that as time goes by, she will gradually become less shy.

The three brothers each occupy a corner.

Xiao Li, on the other hand, was all alone, a bachelor.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"Second brother, eldest brother and I both have people with us now, what about you?"

"When are you going to find me a second sister-in-law?"

Xiao Ding, who was already feeling a bit dizzy, suddenly perked up.

He slammed his hand on the table, but before he could even stand up, Xue Lan pulled him back down.

Xiao Ding gave an awkward smile.

Then she looked at Xiao Li.

"Yes, second brother, you teased me today, so what are you going to do now? When are you going to bring your wife home?"

Xiao Li looked embarrassed, then glanced at Xue Lan, who was holding Xiao Ding back and preventing him from making his move, and his eyes darted around.

"Hehe, big brother, I'm still young, and I don't want to live a life where my wife controls me all the time!"

"Hahaha!"

The mercenaries present all burst into laughter.

There were also those who started a disturbance.

"Oh! I didn't expect even the leader has someone he's afraid of!"

"Haha! So who will be the future leader of our Desert Iron Mercenary Group?"

"Is that even a question? Of course it's our... Commander's wife!"

"Hahaha!"

"..."

The Gamar Empire.

In the eastern part of the Monster Mountains, in a city called Blackrock City.

After Xiao Yan's boasting and subsequent humiliation,

He successfully obtained the badge of a second-grade alchemist amidst the envious gazes of the two little girls.

After further investigation, they learned that Gu Te, the brother of Dan Wang Gu He, possessed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

However, unsurprisingly, an accident occurred during the exchange.

Although Xiao Yan now possesses numerous treasures, Gu Te can still readily offer a sixth-grade pill formula with a clear soul imprint, as well as one that Xiao Yan has never cultivated.

With the help of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Medicine Elder, how could Xiao Yan possibly be a sucker?

Moreover, what would a half-baked alchemist like Gu Te need a sixth-grade pill formula for?

Wasn't it prepared for his younger brother, Danwang Guhe?

Xiao Yan had not forgotten the three Qi Gathering Powders that humiliated him in the Xiao family back then, all of which were made by Gu He.

Although one of them ended up in his stomach, Xiao Yan didn't appreciate the favor.

Thus, the deal fell through on bad terms.

It was late at night.

South of Blackrock City.

In front of a strange building in a secluded corner

A dark figure wearing a black cloak appeared silently.

Then, under the cover of the immense soul power, the person in the black cloak slowly poured a small jade bottle into the crack in the door.

A few drops of liquid from the small jade bottle dripped into the room and instantly evaporated.

The man in the black cloak quickly covered his nose and retreated.

About fifteen minutes later,

The man in black robes then slowly stepped forward and asked in a low voice,

"Teacher, is that enough?"

That's right!

The man in black robes was none other than Xiao Yan.

He now,

Because I haven't been to the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Naturally, they also couldn't obtain the accompanying amethyst source to exchange for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring with Guter.

Gu Te is the older brother of Dan Wang Gu He, and he has a passion for collecting rare and precious materials.

Seeing that Xiao Yan couldn't produce any rare and precious herbs that suited his taste, the guy naturally refused.

Even though Xiao Yan begged her to speak, the moment she opened her mouth, it was an outrageously unreasonable demand.

A sixth-grade elixir formula?

Xiao Yan must be out of his mind to have made that exchange with him.

But he was determined to get his hands on the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

So, with Yao Lao's comfort and assistance, Xiao Yan had no choice but to change into the Night Stalker's outfit, preparing to take advantage of the chaos and steal a spring.

For this purpose, he also specially spent several hundred gold coins to purchase some medicinal herbs.

The old apothecary specially prepared a powerful drug that can incapacitate even a Dou Wang level expert.

The old man's voice slowly entered Xiao Yan's ears.

"It's about time. Let's go in and take a look. Be careful, don't get caught!"

"Yes, teacher!"

But I felt a surge of excitement.

Gutt is a big collector. Judging from his sleazy appearance during the day, he's probably a half-baked alchemist.

In the words of the old doctor, rare and precious herbs would be nothing more than decorations and collectibles in his hands, a pure waste.

As practitioners, we should naturally be kind and helpful, and make reasonable use of natural treasures so that they do not become obscured.

Xiao Yan's mouth, hidden beneath his cloak, was stretched almost to his ears.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that what the teacher said made sense.

Not only does it save a scroll of sixth-grade pill formula, it also helps to make reasonable use of other rare and precious materials.

He's such a rare good person!

Xiao Yan tiptoed to the door and took out a dagger.

Slowly, they reached into the crack in the door and gradually removed the lock from the inside.

With a 'click' sound.

The door lock is open.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

He quickly and tiptoed through the door.

Upon entering,

A strange fragrance wafted over, and Xiao Yan quickly covered his mouth and nose.

He recognized the taste; it was the special brew that the teacher had made especially for that old rascal, Gutt, today.

I guarantee that if that old bastard takes one sip, he won't wake up for two days and two nights.

Xiao Yan can't afford to fall for this.

They quickly entered the room and found Gutt sleeping soundly on the bed not far away.

Xiao Yan silently apologized in his heart.

Why wouldn't you trade with me?

Immediately, Xiao Yan cautiously approached the hidden door that Gu Te had opened during the day.

He reached out and began to grope.

"Teacher, it's right here. I saw him pressing around this spot during the day."

The voice of the old man echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"What are you waiting for, you silly boy?"

"Hurry up and open the secret door to go in and take a look."

"Um,"

Xiao Yan nodded excitedly, rubbing his hands together and recalling how Gu Te had opened the hidden door of the mechanism during the day.

Finally, a vase on the bookshelf next to them was gently turned.

Then, with a click, the hidden door opened.

Xiao Yan stood there, stunned.

The old medicine master asked, puzzled.

"Why are you staying here instead of going inside?"
