A Groundbreaking Research in the Dou Qi Continent!

"Plant grafting? What's that?"

Even Yao Chen couldn't help but show a curious expression upon hearing Xiao Chong words.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, felt a stir in his heart and couldn't help but admire Xiao Chong, thinking, "As expected of Xiao Chong, he even managed to research something like this!"

Xiao Chong then proceeded to explain the wonders of grafting to Yao Lao.

Twelve years ago, Xiao Chong discovered that his innate Qi could be used to cultivate medicinal herbs just like life Qi. However, merely cultivating ordinary herbs was not enough for Xiao Chong and would be a waste of his extraordinary talent.

Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Chong came up with a bold idea: if plants could be grafted, then medicinal herbs and spiritual plants could surely be grafted as well!

By grafting the roots of different types of medicinal herbs and combining them with his unique Dou Qi, Xiao Chong could achieve the remarkable feat of growing a ten-thousand-year Blood Demon Fruit on an ordinary apple tree! Upon hearing Xiao Chong description, Yao Lao's eyes lit up, feeling as if he had suddenly been introduced to a whole new realm of possibilities.

He was certain that Xiao Chong method was nothing short of a groundbreaking research that could revolutionize the entire Dou Qi Continent!

However, the difficulty of this research was undeniably immense. High-quality medicinal herbs themselves contained vast amounts of energy, and the backlash during alchemy could even kill a high-grade alchemist. Xiao Chong would likely face similar dangers during the grafting process.

Moreover, some of these herbs might take thousands of years to mature, and ordinary people didn't possess Xiao Chong ability to accelerate the sublimation of medicinal herbs.

In some ways, this method was even more dangerous than alchemy. If it weren't for Xiao Chong extraordinary talent which allowed him to discern the spiritual nature of the herbs, he wouldn't have been able to succeed in grafting.

Additionally, because Xiao Chong had the ability to enhance the quality of medicinal herbs, he could start grafting them during their early growth stages and then infuse them with his innate Qi.

At this thought, Yao Lao's gaze towards Xiao Chong even carried a hint of envy, though he quickly coughed and said, "Young Master Xiao Chong of the Xiao family, right? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Yao Chen understood that Xiao Chong had just expended a significant amount of Dou Qi and had demonstrated the wonders of this medicinal field in front of him.

With so many benefits laid out before him, it was clear that Xiao Chong had some requests in mind.

Xiao Chong was straightforward and honest in his response. "I want you to become a free-serving elder of our Xiao family."

"The Xiao family is about to enter a period of rapid development, but we currently lack an alchemist."

"If you could join us, that would be ideal."

"Moreover, if you still have any reservations about us, you can freely choose any talented young member of the Xiao family to be your disciple. That way, you can feel more at ease with us."

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Xiao Chong's request, Yao Lao was momentarily stunned, and a thought of refusal crossed his mind.

After all, he was someone who had always been free-spirited and unrestrained. If he had wanted to join any faction or organization, he would have already become the master of the Starfall Pavilion or an elder of the Alchemy Tower long ago.

However, as he looked at the medicinal field behind Xiao Chong and listened to his grafting technique, it was impossible for Yao Chen not to be tempted.

Moreover, Xiao Chong mentioned that he could take someone from the Xiao family as a disciple, which also piqued Yao Chen interest.

Not to mention Xiao Chong in front of him, even the other members of the Xiao family, after being nurtured by Xiao Chong, were almost all rare geniuses!

As for any deception, Yao Chen felt it was completely unnecessary. The strength of the person before him, even if not as great as his own in his prime, was still far superior to his current state. In fact, Xiao Chong's straightforwardness was very much to Yao Chen liking.

After seriously pondering for a few minutes, Yao Chen chuckled and said, "Very well, in my current state as a soul body, my freedom is indeed limited."

"Besides, you helped me recover my soul power, so I owe you a favor."

"Taking on a disciple and serving as an elder in your Xiao family isn't out of the question."

As he spoke, Yao Chen glanced at Xiao Yan beside him.

With Yao Chen wisdom, he naturally understood why Xiao Chong had called Xiao Yan over, but for now, he turned to Xiao Chong, an odd smile appearing on his aged face.

"To be honest, if I were to take on a disciple, I would prefer to take you as my disciple."

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but pout, feeling a bit jealous.

In the Xiao family, whether it was his cousins or other girls, they all revolved around Xiao Chong every day.

And now, even the teacher they called over took a liking to Xiao Chong at first sight.

Unfair!

We both crossed over, so why am I just the background character?

But if one were to look for reasons, there were plenty to find.

Just Xiao Chong current level of strength and the medicinal field behind him were incredibly attractive to Yao Chen who is an alchemist! However, Yao Chen ultimately shook his head and said, "But I feel that, comparatively, this child seems more suitable for me."

As he spoke, Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan, naturally sensing that Xiao Yan's innate attributes were very suitable for becoming an alchemist.

"Taking you as my disciple... I understand that I probably can't teach you much. I don't want to take on a disciple only for them to surpass me in a few years."

"That would really leave me with no sense of honor as a master."

"Haha, you flatter me Elder, Xiao Yan it's time for you to come over and perform the disciple ceremony."

Xiao Chong didn't seem too concerned.

After all, his extraordinary comprehension meant he didn't really need a teacher, and no one was qualified to be his teacher.

What he needed was Yao Chen rich experience regarding the Dou Qi Continent and to observe his alchemy techniques.

Hearing Yao Chen words, Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

Finally, I am going to have a master and become an alchemist!

However, shortly after, Elder Yao took out a black-red scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Chong saying:

"Young friend Xiao Chong, although we do not have a master-disciple relationship, I owe you a favor, and ordinary items would not suffice to repay this debt."
