You bastard...

Although Xiao Yan had lived with Xiao Chong for many years, most of the time he found himself rolling his eyes at his fellow clansman and cousins.

After all, when two geniuses are born within the same clan, it's inevitable that comparisons will arise in daily life and interactions.

Moreover, Xiao Yan also harbored a mature soul within him. Seeing the beautiful women from the outside the clan constantly flocking around Xiao Chong, it was natural for him to feel a twinge of jealousy.

Because Xiao Yan was also a genius, he had every right to feel that jealousy.

Even though Xiao Yan knew that his growth as a genius was undoubtedly tied to Xiao Chong, over the years he hadn't shown much kindness to Xiao Chong instead, he had always viewed him as a rival to surpass.

However, now seeing Xiao Chong casually toss over such a precious cultivation technique and even find him a master, even Xiao Yan couldn't help but be moved.

Xiao Chong waved his hand indifferently and said, "No need to thank me. If you really want to repay me, just refine more ninth-grade or emperor-grade pills for me to munch on like candy."

"After all, I have plenty of medicinal herbs here, there's no way you'll run out!"

"You bastard..."

Hearing Xiao Chong's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes again, though it was clear that he no longer harbored as much wariness towards Xiao Chong.

However, the desire to surpass Xiao Chong in his heart remained as strong as ever!

Similarly, seeing Xiao Chong's demeanor, Elder Yao couldn't help but nod in approval.

From Xiao Chong, he sensed a level of ease and carelessness that was almost insurmountable.

With such a mindset and Xiao Chong's heaven-defying talent, it was certain that Xiao Chong would carve out a place for himself in the immortal legends of the Dou Qi continent! The only regret was that he couldn't take such a genius as his disciple. Someone like Xiao Chong was simply too extraordinary, and even Elder Yao, who considered himself a fine teacher, couldn't help but feel a bit inadequate.

After interrupting the conversation between the two, Elder Yao asked, "So, when do you two plan to start learning alchemy?"

The quality of the medicinal herbs in this herb field was so high that even Elder Yao was moved. As a grandmaster alchemist, he was eager to demonstrate what true alchemy was in front of Xiao Chong and Xiao Yan.

And this time, he would be showcasing his alchemy skills in front of Xiao Chong, the unparalleled genius of the Xiao family!

He refused to believe that even in alchemy, Xiao Chong could possess such heaven-defying talent.

Xiao Chong nodded and said, "If Elder Yao is interested, you can start preparing now. I still have some matters to discuss with my younger brother."

Originally, Elder Yao had planned to casually refine a fourth-grade pill to show off his skills. But after seeing Xiao Chong's talent and the herbs in the field, he changed his approach.

Now, he planned to refine a seventh-grade pill to show these two young fellows what a true alchemist really is.

Thanks to the life force provided by the herb fields here and the substantial soul power Xiao Chong had infused when awakening him, the current Medicine Master could guarantee that even as a soul entity, he could definitely refine a seventh-grade pill!

While the Medicine Master was busy preparing for the pill refinement, Xiao Chong took the opportunity to chat with Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Chong, what are your plans for the future... or rather, what are the plans for the Xiao family?" Although Xiao Chong appeared to be a very laid-back person, Xiao Yan knew that most of the authority in the Xiao family had already fallen into Xiao Chong's hands.

He understood that external forces like the Gale family were no longer a concern.

"Moreover, Nalan Yanran is your fiancée arranged by our elders. Since she's here as a guest, you can't just let her leave without taking care of her."

"Honestly, I don't have much fondness for their family. Although they appear to value loyalty and righteousness on the surface, I feel they're actually a bit too opportunistic."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong lazily stretched and chuckled.

"Being opportunistic is quite normal, especially for a family."

"Besides, if you keep this attitude toward your older brother, don't blame me if I don't bring you any information about Heavenly Flame the next time I return."

At these words, Xiao Yan immediately backed down.

"Alright, alright, you're my brother. I'll admit defeat, okay?"
