Rely on Yourself
"Without a master to guide him, without pills to help him, what does Xiao Yan rely on to surpass Nalan Yanran?"
Pill King Gu He's words caused Nalan Su's heart to waver. He suddenly understood that talent was just talent. There had been many talented people throughout history, but only a handful had become Dou Huangs in the entire Gama Empire.
As Gu He said, the further one progressed on the path of cultivation, the greater the resources required, and the less important talent became. What could Xiao Yan rely on to surpass his daughter without any resources to help him? If his daughter could really defeat Xiao Yan, then she could choose her husband according to her own wishes, and perhaps find someone even stronger.
After all, strong people attract each other.
"Thank you, Master Gu He, for resolving my doubts. If Master Gu He doesn't mind, you are welcome to visit my Nalan Mansion as a guest. Nalan Su will definitely treat you with the utmost hospitality," Nalan Su said, cupping his fist.
Gu He waved his hand and declined, "No, I plan to trade an item with a strong person recently and refine a furnace of pills. I really don't have time."
Nalan Su quickly said, "I wonder if there is anything our Nalan Family can help with?"
Gu He smiled and shook his head, "I don't think so. That is a Dou Huang expert."
Hiss! A Dou Huang!
Being able to trade with a Dou Huang, Pill King Gu He was probably the only one in the entire Gama Empire with that kind of capital.
...
At this time, Xiao Yan, whose protagonist script had been taken away, stood by a deep pool, picked up the Mystic Heavy Ruler stuck in the ground with one hand, and jumped into the pool with a splash.
The extremely heavy Mystic Heavy Ruler carried Xiao Yan's body down quickly. After sinking to the bottom of the pool with a thud, Xiao Yan held the Mystic Heavy Ruler with both hands and waved it continuously. Sweeping, vertical chopping, thrusting, and upward picking, the extremely heavy Mystic Heavy Ruler was as easy to control in Xiao Yan's hands as an arm.
Weighted training!
Xiao Yan had been practicing the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler for more than half a year, and he could already wield the Mystic Heavy Ruler freely. But Xiao Yan felt that this was not enough, so he used the resistance of the water and the water pressure to increase the training! When the oxygen was not enough, he put away the Mystic Heavy Ruler and floated up to breathe, and then continued to practice.
As Xiao Yan waved the Mystic Heavy Ruler faster and faster at the bottom of the pool, Xiao Yan actually stirred up a vortex in the pool, which was shaking violently.
With a condensed gaze, Xiao Yan suddenly condensed all the Dou Qi in his body, and the mysterious patterns on the Mystic Heavy Ruler emitted a faint red light. The terrifying high temperature could not be cooled even in the water, and huge bubbles kept rising.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
Xiao Yan waved fiercely at the sky, and a wave of high-temperature flames shot straight into the sky from the bottom of the pool, which was dozens of meters deep. The terrifying high temperature continuously 'devoured' the water waves! With a loud bang, it was like a torpedo exploding. The pool, which was larger than a football field, exploded instantly, and the water waves rushed dozens of meters high, causing a torrential rain.
Taking advantage of this attack, Xiao Yan jumped out of the pool with the Mystic Heavy Ruler on his back.
"Huh? Why are you two here?" After Xiao Yan jumped out of the pool, he found that Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu were by the pool.
The two poor girls were chatting with great interest, discussing joining Canaan Academy in half a year. Xiao Yu was explaining the interesting things about Canaan Academy, but disaster struck and they were drenched like drowned chickens.
"Xiao Yan! It's you again!"
Xiao Yan touched his nose, suppressed his smile and said, "I didn't realize, Xiao Yu, you are quite pure."
Xiao Yu looked down and saw that they were both wearing white clothes today. After being drenched by the water, they became transparent! Xiao Yu's white underwear could be seen clearly. The younger Xiao Mei was bolder than Xiao Yu and wore black.
Xiao Mei blushed, but did not deliberately cover herself. Xiao Yu screamed, covered her chest with her left hand, and picked up a huge stone, wanting to smash Xiao Yan to death.
While she was picking up the stone, Xiao Yan slipped away, leaving only a sentence 'This was also an accident' before disappearing.
...
After returning to the secret cave, Xiao Yan changed into a set of dry clothes and muttered, "What a narrow road."
Xiao Yan touched the Storage Ring, released the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, sat cross-legged half a meter away from the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, closed his eyes and slowly circulated the Burning Skill.
It could be seen that some special energy was gradually absorbed by Xiao Yan, constantly strengthening his Qi cyclone.
Even if the Strange Flame was unstable and burned Xiao Yan from time to time, causing him to sweat profusely and his skin to be scalded, Xiao Yan still did not stop practicing.
If someone asked him, without a master to guide you, without pills to help you, what do you rely on to win, Xiao Yan would definitely tell the other party decisively: Rely on myself.
...
After Xiao Yan finished his boring daily practice, he leisurely returned to the family. Before Xiao Yan even stepped into the family gate, he saw the three elders waiting for him anxiously.
"Xiao Yan, you brat, you're finally back!"
"Something big happened!"
"Quick, quick, quick, to the family meeting hall."
Xiao Yan was directly carried by the Second Elder and Third Elder to the meeting hall, without giving Xiao Yan a chance to escape.
After listening to a round of chattering in the meeting hall, Xiao Yan finally understood what had happened. In summary, the Galio Clan and the Oba Clan didn't know where they had hired a First-Rank Alchemist, and they had also monopolized all the low-level medicinal herb markets in Wutan City in advance. After preparing for a long time, they refined two kinds of First-Rank Pills, taking away a large part of the Town Market's business.
Monopolized the market.
"Young Clan Leader, this is the 'Spring Return Powder' and 'Little Dou Qi Pill' sold in Leo Town Market."
Xiao Yan picked up the bottle labeled Spring Return Powder on the table, poured out a bit of the powder, smelled it, and shook his head, saying, "This can be called a pill? This is just the lowest level of first-grade pill, not even good enough to speed up wound healing."
The Third Elder said with a wry smile, "Young Clan Leader, please don't joke around. Normal mercenary groups can only afford this kind of pill, and it's only needed to stop bleeding and relieve pain."
Xiao Yan then picked up the bottle labeled Little Dou Qi Pill, pouring out a blue pill from it, smaller than a longan seed. Xiao Yan gently crushed it, the powder rubbing between his fingers.
"A little better than that Spring Return Powder, considered a mid-level first-grade pill. It should allow someone with exhausted Dou Qi to use a Yellow Middle Grade Dou Technique one more time." Xiao Yan said, wiping his hands clean with a handkerchief, as if the pill had dirtied them.
"Yan'er, is there a way to deal with this?" Xiao Zhan immediately pulled Xiao Yan over, because more than half a year ago, Xiao Yan had already noticed the other party's intentions and had long since prepared everyone in the family.
Xiao Yan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, revealing his usual confident smile, "Of course."
The Great Elder quickly asked, "Tell us quickly, we will all cooperate with you."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't rush, as the saying goes, if heaven wants you to perish, it must first make you go mad. Let the two clans be happy for a while."
The Second Elder asked in confusion, "Then what should we do?"
Xiao Yan looked at the crushed white powder on the ground and said faintly, "Play with them for now, just do what we normally do. Right now, breaking their pill scheme will at most make them lose some money, not enough to hurt them to the bone."
"When dealing with enemies, we don't just want to defeat them, we want to kill them."
