Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 195 Alchemist

Wutan City is adjacent to the Monster Mountain Range. As the saying goes, "live by the mountain and eat from the mountain", this is also true in this world. Because of the profits generated by the monsters in the Monster Mountain Range, the small Wutan City has become one of the open market cities of the Gama Empire.

The Xiao family is one of the three major families in Wutan City, and they also have a family market... So don’t be fooled by how weak the Xiao family is described in the original book. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Xiao family is already a behemoth!
In the back mountain of the Xiao family, a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts. His feet were stuck in the soil like tree stumps, his toes were tightly gripping the ground, his teeth were clenched, and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.

His body was covered with blue bruises.

This was the scene that Xiao Zhan and Xiao Li saw when they came over.

Xiao Zhan was used to it, but Xiao Li was seeing it for the first time. He was immediately furious and shouted, "Xiao Yanzi, who beat you up like this?"

The young man was Xiao Yan. Hearing this, his face showed surprise and he asked, "Second brother?"

Xiao Li looked at the scars on his brother's body with heartache, and said with gritted teeth: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Yanzi, tell your second brother who did this to you!"

Xiao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart was warm at the same time. He said, "Brother, I am practicing fighting skills. I inflicted these injuries on myself in order to improve my physical strength."

"You did it yourself?" Xiao Li's heartache flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly, saying, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Yanzi. Second brother brought back a pill this time, which may be able to solve your problem."

"Second brother..." Xiao Yan wanted to say that his talent problem had been solved.

But Xiao Li directly took out a jade box, opened it in front of him, and said: "Don't think this thing is very strange, but the alchemist said that this is indeed a pill..."

Xiao Yan looked at the green mist that condensed in the jade box in astonishment, and asked strangely: "Pills... are there such things?"

In my heart, a voice said hurriedly: "Boy, take this pill and find a place where no one is!"

This was the first time Xiao Yan heard Yao Laodi's voice sound so anxious. He took the jade box and said, "Second brother, I'll go try first."

Saying that, he left in a hurry.

Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "This Yan'er..."

Xiao Li sighed: "I can only say that Xiao Yanzi has waited for this day for too long, and now he is so impatient!"

……

When he returned to the room, Yao Lao, who was in spirit form, appeared immediately, staring at the mist in the jade box, and said anxiously, "Quick, put it on the table so I can take a good look at it."

Xiao Yan did as he was told, and asked in confusion: "Teacher, is this really a pill? How do I take a pill like this?"

Unexpectedly, Yao Lao didn't bother to answer him. He just kept walking around the table, looking at the jade box from every corner.

He was still amazed: "Stunning beauty, as if created by nature, noble and elegant, I have never seen such a thing in my life..."

Xiao Yan broke out in a sweat after hearing this. Was he praising the woman or the elixir?
Yao Chen once fought against the Evil Poison Body, and later figured out a way to make poison pills to deal with the Evil Poison Body. He also created many pill recipes on his own, which shows that he is a person who is dedicated to research.

Seeing this pill at this time is like a lustful man seeing a peerless beauty, or a glutton seeing delicacies, and they can't help themselves.

After a while, Yao Chen finally came back to his senses and answered Xiao Yan's question, saying, "It's not a pill."

Xiao Yan was stunned: "It's not a pill? Could it be that my second brother was deceived?"

Yao Chen shook his head, his eyes seemed to be recalling something, and said: "Do you remember what your master told you about how the levels of alchemists are divided?"

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "From the first rank to the ninth rank."

Yao Chen said seriously: "But above the Ninth Rank, there is also a legendary realm... According to legend, that is the Emperor Rank realm."

Xiao Yan was stunned: "Emperor rank?"

Yao Chen sighed, "That's just a legendary realm. Whether it's true or not is unknown, but according to legend, when an alchemist reaches the imperial level, he will no longer be called an 'alchemist'!"

Xiao Yan asked curiously, "If it's not called 'Alchemist', then what is it called?"

Yao Chen said word by word: "Alchemist! Above the ninth-grade elixir, those who can refine immortal-grade elixir are called immortal-grade elixir masters, and those who can refine holy-grade elixir are called holy-grade elixir masters..." Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something, pointed at the mist in the jade box, and said in disbelief: "Teacher, could this be..."

Yao Chen nodded and said, "If your master is not mistaken... this is a pill! A "pill" made by an alchemist, not a "pill" made by a pharmacist!
Pills are different from elixirs!"

Xiao Yan showed an expression of disbelief: "Could it be... my second brother met an emperor-grade medicine refiner... an alchemist?"

"do not know!"

Yao Chen shook his head and said, "I just used my soul power to sense it and found that the person who refined it was not very powerful... In fact..."

At this point, Yao Chen himself showed an expression of disbelief, and said: "Even... maybe he's not even a fighter yet!"

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded: "Not a fighter? Then how can you control the fire of Dou Qi? Without Dou Qi, you can't even control the beast fire, right?"

Yao Chen did not answer, but continued: "But the soul power of the person who refined it is amazing... Soul power is divided into four levels: ordinary, spiritual, heavenly, and emperor. The soul power of this person is at least in the spiritual realm... or even higher!
And his flame is very strange... Strange fire? There is no such thing among the 23 kinds of recorded strange fire... Is it a new kind of strange fire?"

Seeing Yao Chen in confusion, Xiao Yan said, "Teacher, don't worry about it for now. This pill...how should I use this pill? Should I just take it?"

Yao Chen glanced at him and said, "Pills are for eating, but "pills" are not just for eating!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the mist in the jade box floated up and merged into Yao Chen's soul.

The next moment, Yao Chen's illusory body gradually solidified, as if he had completely turned into a living person.

Xiao Yan was stunned. He could even feel the teacher's aura, temperature, and even breathing...

He swallowed and said, "Teacher...are you alive?"

Yao Chen felt his body and couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed a pill... It gave my soul a brand new body, but it is not an ordinary body, but another form of life...

It is difficult for a Master to explain this feeling, but now a Master can not only move freely like a living person, but can even continue to practice... How amazing!

Let's go and see your father and your second brother!"

Xiao Yan was surprised and asked: "Teacher, are you planning to show up in front of them?"

Yao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I am so curious about the person who refined this pill... And you didn't think about it, your second brother clearly asked for the pill for you, why did you let this pill be used by the master?"

Xiao Yan was shocked: "Teacher, are you saying that the person who refined it has already guessed your existence?"

Yao Chen comforted him, "Don't worry, he has no ill intentions. On the contrary... I have a strange feeling. It seems that he is challenging me?"

Xiao Yan: "..."

……

"Yan'er, who is this?"

Looking at the ethereal old man brought by Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Li couldn't help but look serious... When did this person appear in the Xiao family?
Xiao Yan quickly explained, "Dad, second brother, this is my teacher, Yao Lao... Yao Lao is a high-level alchemist. Seeing that I have good aptitude, he accepted me as his apprentice. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of trouble."

A high-level alchemist? !

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Li quickly stood up and saluted.

Yao Chen didn't care about that and asked hurriedly, "Where did you get the pill you brought back for Xiao Yan? Who was the person who made the pill?"

Xiao Li was stunned and looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said: "Second brother, actually my talent teacher has already cured me... The pill that second brother brought back made the teacher just excited, so..."

So that’s it!
Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and said, "Sir, I got this pill from a first-class alchemist in Shimo City. His surname is Li, and his name is Li Qinghuan. He is about the same age as Xiao Yanzi. He was born in Shimo City, and his father was originally a mercenary..."
