Upon Xiao Yan's admission, even Ya Fei.....well-versed from growing up in the Imperial Capital...could not help but draw in a breath.
She had suspected Xiao Yan's talent for refining medicine, but did not expect that this twelve-year-old boy was already a Medicine Refiner.
Her respect for Xiao Yan now grew immeasurably. Her beautiful eyes seemed as though they could swallow him whole.
"In a few days I'll prepare a batch of medicines for the clan to strengthen our wealth."
"And after the new year, I might even refine more Qi Gathering Liquid. During this time, you should prepare your collection of ingredients."
Ignoring the strange glint in Ya Fei's eyes, Xiao Yan spoke seriously to her.
"Don't worry. You are already the most important investment in my heart. Whatever you ask, I will comply."
Ya Fei smiled with pursed lips: "Just an investment?"
Xiao Yan only smiled in reply.
"Heh, if you want to change that, you'll have to grow up first. Besides, do you think you could convince your childhood friend?"
Ya Fei covered her lips, her gaze mischievous.
Hearing her teasing, Xiao Yan lost his mood, waving his hand gently:
"Go, go, go. Such a killjoy."
"Giggling."
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Ya Fei laughed even more, teasing him again before swaying away seductively.
Two days later, Ya Fei brought a large supply of ingredients to the Xiao Clan.
After more than ten days of hard cultivation, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was close to breaking through to Four-Star Dou Zhe level. Refining medicine now was also an opportunity to temper his Dou Qi.
However, just as Xiao Yan prepared to refine medicine, Xiao Yu hesitated before knocking on his door.
"Need something from me?"
Seeing her conflicted expression, Xiao Yan was puzzled.
"You… didn't you tell me to come see you?"
Xiao Yu's hesitation shifted to slight annoyance. Could it be this brat was mocking her?
"Oh right, I forgot."
Xiao Yan patted his head and flicked a jade box from his ring toward her.
"Here. With this, your breakthrough is certain."
"A breakthrough certain?"
Xiao Yu's heart stirred. Opening the box, she was met with a rich medicinal aroma that quickened her Dou Qi flow.
"Qi Gathering Pill!"
Seeing the pill inside the box, Xiao Yu could not help but exclaim.
"Mm, take this pill yourself quietly. Don't tell anyone, or the whole clan will demand one, and I don't have time to make more."
Xiao Yan nodded lightly, about to close the door when he noticed Xiao Yu's blush.
"This precious pill… I feel uneasy holding it."
Blushing, Xiao Yu shyly said, "How about… how about I touch it two more times?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her long jade leg.
The fact that Xiao Yan had been taken as a disciple by a Medicine Refiner was not something Xiao Yan or Xiao Zhan planned to hide from the clan.
Thus, news spread quickly among the clan. When the younger generation learned that Xiao Yan would become a Medicine Refiner, their despair was complete.
From then on, they viewed him with reverence and awe, abandoning any previous ambitions they might have harbored.
Naturally, Xiao Yu had also heard about Xiao Yan's apprenticeship.
While it filled her with a certain caution toward him, it also made her curious about the matter Xiao Yan had mentioned.....that she should find him in seven days.
Yet, when Xiao Yan placed the Qi Gathering Pill in front of her, she still felt as if in a dream.
This was a Qi Gathering Pill. One pill was worth almost a year's profit for the clan.
Even in the past, Xiao Yan would have had difficulty using such a treasure.
Yet now, he handed it to her so casually.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Yan paused briefly, then suddenly slapped her thigh before she could react.
"What do you take me for?"
Xiao Yu froze, then felt irritation rise. Just as she was about to retort, Xiao Yan spoke softly:
"Let's end our quarrel here. Sometimes I really don't want to argue with you."
Rubbing his forehead, Xiao Yan continued calmly: "
In half a year, it will be time for Canaan Academy's enrollment.
With this Qi Gathering Pill, your standing among the freshmen there will be greatly improved."
This pleased Xiao Yu greatly. While reaching the eighth stage of Dou Qi before twenty gave one hope of entering Canaan Academy, such talent was rare.
To reach Dou Zhe at seventeen, even without being a prodigy, was already impressive, ensuring better resources and opportunities.
"You've still got some conscience, huh?"
After some thought, Xiao Yu let out a light hum. Though her face still held some pride, her eyes softened slightly.
