Chapter 106 Seizing 40,000 Gold from the Old Father

Bang, bang, bang—

The continuous slapping sound came from a small grove of trees on the back mountain, and only stopped slowly after eighty-four slaps.

Yao Chen materialized and looked with satisfaction at Xiao Yan, who was grimacing as he dressed. It was remarkable that this kid had managed to get this far in his current condition.

"I feel I need to soak my body thoroughly in Foundation Establishment Elixir when I get back, otherwise the residual blood clots inside my body will seriously injure me."

"Um."

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, his handsome face beaming with a smile of gratitude for the care shown to him.

Now, after spending two months with his teacher, Xiao Yan has completely trusted Yao Chen, having gone from being wary at the beginning.

The Foundation Building Elixir promotes the growth of battle qi, the Xuan-rank advanced battle skill Eight Extremes Collapse, and the training that promotes physical growth by being beaten—the teacher is genuinely helping him become stronger.

Xiao Yan is not a cold-hearted person, but someone who is grateful and has youthful spirit.

The teacher's help was so great that even if he had absorbed the fighting spirit he had accumulated over the past three years, it was still considered tuition. Becoming a disciple of such a master was something one could only dream of.

As he pondered this, Xiao Yan slowly walked down the mountain, the last bit of resentment in his heart gradually dissipating.

Before returning to the ring, Yao Chen witnessed this scene, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that Xiao Yanzi has truly accepted this master-disciple relationship, so we can officially begin to help him pave the way for his future.

Inside the ring's space, Yao Chen took out the Flame Fruit he had obtained earlier. "Emperor Yan? That's quite suitable."

Back in his room, Xiao Yan quickly jumped into the wooden basin filled with cyan liquid and let out a few sighs of relief.

He intended to take the opportunity to cultivate, but the next second, fatigue overwhelmed him, and Xiao Yan drowsily turned over and fell asleep.

At the same time, the Foundation Establishment Elixir rippled slightly, and the faint, gentle energy seeped into Xiao Yan's body until the liquid became clear again, at which point it completely stopped. The self-strengthening process was underway, and his physical body regained its vitality.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but when Xiao Yan woke up, he subconsciously got up, and his whole body immediately made a crackling sound like popping beans.

Filled with power, Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "So exhilarating!"

"Wait, I'm doing this now—"

Carefully sensing the state of his internal fighting spirit, Xiao Yan couldn't hide his joy when he opened his eyes again.

"Sixth level of Battle Qi, achieved in just two months!"

Improving one's Battle Qi by two levels in two months is already astonishing enough. After all, the Battle Qi cultivation period is the most vulnerable and immature time, and any external assistance can easily lead to forced growth.

However, Xiao Yan has advanced three levels in just two months. Apart from his own talent, this is due to the help of Yao Chen's Foundation Establishment Elixir and the whip-forging technique.

Now, Yao Chen is even stronger than he was at his peak. His alchemy skills and control over battle qi are naturally more refined. He also has a vision for the future, so his ability to help Xiao Yan improve is naturally better.

However, there is one thing that Yao Chen cannot help Xiao Yan with right now.

"Ah—the Foundation Establishment Elixir is gone." Looking at the clear water in the wooden basin that could wash his face clean, Xiao Yan was happy but couldn't help but make a face.

After calculating his finances, he now only has a little over nine hundred gold coins left. It's not enough to make another batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir with the best materials. What should he do?

Isn't the teacher a reclusive master? How come he doesn't have a single gold coin?

Wait, if the best isn't good enough, what about the worst?

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

Shaking the ring, Xiao Yan summoned his teacher, preparing to ask, "Teacher, I—"

"Out of money?"

"Well, so I—"

"Then buy some low-grade materials, and I'll concoct a bankrupt version of Foundation Establishment Elixir for you. You can sell it, and that should be enough to pay back the money."

"Ah! Teacher, what's wrong—"

"What's so surprising? That's just how alchemists are. If you're short of money, you make medicine and sell it. Your teacher may be short of money, but that doesn't mean he's short of means."

"Is that so?"

"That----"

"Don't worry, with my abilities, let alone Wutan City, even the entire Jia Ma Empire cannot replicate my Foundation Establishment Elixir."

This Foundation Establishment Elixir was something I casually concocted in my spare time; no one else knows about it, so you don't need to worry about it being exposed."

"Um.

""

Xiao Yan opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't finish a single sentence because Yao Chen had stolen all his lines. He was a little annoyed, but mostly happy.

He finally has the ability to make money, even if it's not through his own methods. But the teacher's methods will be passed on to him sooner or later, so it's basically his methods anyway.

Leaving with swift steps, Xiao Yan prepared to embark on his first major money-making plan.

"forty thousand!"

At the auction, Xiao Yan stared blankly at his father, Xiao Zhan, who, after suppressing his old rival with a lion's roar, took the bankrupt version of the Foundation Establishment Elixir into his pocket.

No, he just wanted to make some money, how did he end up making money off his own father?

"This is a disaster, but it's only natural for a son to make money off his father."

Yao Chen's cheeky voice suddenly came from the ring. Little Yanzi's expression was truly fascinating. I'll record it and show it to Emperor Yan later.

"No, I really didn't expect that."

Xiao Yan explained in a low voice, then gave a helpless wry smile. He knew perfectly well why his father had bought the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

So he managed to get 40,000 yuan out of his own father without any investment? Wait, he also has to pay the auction house's fees. His father is losing a fortune!

Xiao Yan sighed more and more as he thought about it, but he quickly cheered himself up. He had to find a way to make up for his father. Maybe he could ask his teacher if he could make medicine for his father?

But he had no materials.

Sigh, not having money is such a hassle.

The auction continued, but Xiao Yan had lost all interest in watching. Even the appearance of his most treasured high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique held no appeal for him.

However, after the cultivation technique was snatched away by Xiao Yan's old rival, Jia Liebi, Xiao Yan frowned, realizing he really needed to become stronger quickly.

Otherwise, once the Jialie family has fully realized the potential of that cultivation technique, the landscape of Wutan City will likely undergo a major transformation.

As they left the auction, Yao Chen's teasing voice rang out again.

"Xiao Yanzi, are you bewitched by that bad woman? That makes sense, you're young and impetuous, of course you'd like someone mature like that."

"Teacher, I didn't!"

Xiao Yan's face turned red. That kind of vixen was clearly beyond his current ability to subdue, not to mention that the woman was obviously interested in his identity as an alchemist.

"It's less about her caring about me and more about her caring about my identity as an alchemist. Teacher, rounding up, that woman is thinking about you."

Xiao Yan tried his best to refute, which made Yao Chen laugh again. It was a really good rounding up.

It's so much fun to tease kids.

After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Yan finished his conversation with his father, Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Xun'er, who had come to check on him. Then, Xiao Yan silently lay down on the bed.

What a wonderful and fulfilling day!

"Little Yanzi, don't fall asleep yet, your teacher has something good to give you."

Suddenly, Yao Chen ran out of the ring, smiling at Xiao Yan, holding a fruit in his hand.

"The Flame-Flame Fruit allows you to transform into flames after eating it. Don't say I don't have a hidden treasure for you, teacher."
