Chapter 15: Profitable

In the Xiao family training ground in Wutan City, Xiao Yan was supervising the training of the Xiao family disciples as usual.

The day after he delivered the Foundation Establishment spiritual Liquid to Ya Fei, Ya Fei came to see Xiao Yan with a serious expression on her face.

"After being assessed by Uncle Gu Ni, the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid you gave me has an incredibly high quality, it's something that this small town of Wutan cannot make use of."

The meaning behind this was not that no one in Wutan City could afford it, but that no one would spend such a large amount of money on it.

After all, it was just to speed up the cultivation of Dou Disciple, and while rare, in a small place like Wutan City, people didn't have that kind of extra money to spend on something like this.

On the other hand, in the more prosperous cities, the wealthy families not only had the ability to buy it, but they would also highly appreciate it, especially those with younger generation members in the family.

Therefore, Ya Fei suggested sending it to a larger, more prosperous city for auction, and Xiao Yan agreed, saying it was entirely up to her decision.

Today, a week had passed since then, but there was no news from Ya Fei.

Xiao Yan wasn't anxious. He knew Ya Fei's character, and he was sure she wouldn't deceive him.

Once you trust someone, you should trust them completely.

By the way, after the duel to the death with Xiao Yan, the reputation of Jia Lie Ao in Wutan City had become rather famous.

Unfortunately, it was of the completely opposite nature.

The duel that day, being passed around by the onlookers, was now known to everyone in Wutan City.

A 21-year-old one-star Dou Practitioner was defeated in two moves by Xiao Yan, a 15-year-old with three stages of Dou Disciple.

People naturally didn't believe that Xiao Yan was that strong, so they all thought Jia Lie Ao was just too weak, mocking him endlessly.

How could a Dou Practitioner be so useless as to be unable to defeat someone with just three stages of Dou Disciple?

This made Jia Lie Ao stay at home for an entire week without daring to leave. His face was utterly lost, and he wouldn't dare to walk the streets anymore.

"Yan'er."

Just as Xiao Yan was focused on supervising the training of the Xiao family disciples, Xiao Zhan entered the yard and softly called out to his son.

"Father."

Xiao Yan walked up to him, and Xiao Zhan, with his hands behind his back, said.

"Ya Fei is looking for you, she is waiting at the gate of the Xiao family." After saying that, Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow, teasing Xiao Yan, "I've always thought that Ya Fei treats you a bit differently, could it be that she has taken a liking to you?"

"Don't joke around, Father." Xiao Yan laughed lightly and waved his hand, "She's the future heir of the Miteer family, she's not someone like me who can compare to her."

"Where there's a will, there's a way. You should try to pursue it more."

Xiao Yan didn't respond but just lightly waved his hand and walked towards the Xiao family gate. Before leaving, he said a final sentence to Xiao Zhan.

"Father, please help me supervise them for a bit. I'll be right back."

Looking at his son's back, Xiao Zhan was filled with admiration.

This son of his, aside from his strength, could truly be considered perfect. How could that worthless young master from the Jia Lie family compare to him?

He was an one-star Dou Practitioner, yet his son had beaten that guy to the point where he couldn't even get up. That old man from the Jia Lie family had truly lost all face.

Xiao Zhan then turned to the Xiao family disciples who were training. Ever since Xiao Yan took over the training position, Xiao Zhan hadn't been involved much. Today, however, he felt a bit interested and stepped forward to stand in front of the disciples. He raised a hand and lightly smiled.

"Children, the patriarch is here to practice some real combat with you."

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan had arrived at the Xiao family gate and saw Ya Fei standing there elegantly in a red dress.

It had to be said that Ya Fei was truly a natural beauty. If Yao Chen's beauty was breathtaking, then Ya Fei had a kind of innate charm that made it hard to control oneself.

Xiao Yan lightly shook his head and stepped forward to greet her.

"Sister Ya Fei, long time no see."

"Long time no see,little brother Xiao Yan."

Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Ya Fei's lips curled into a smile, a smile that was as captivating as ever, causing Xiao Yan's heart to tremble slightly. Ya Fei then spoke.

"The Foundation establishment spiritual Liquid has already been sold." Ya Fei took out a black gold card and handed it to Xiao Yan. "After deducting the auction house's fees, you've received a total of 230,000 gold coins."

"Eh?!"

Hearing this number, Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned and couldn't believe his ears.

"How much?"

"You didn't hear wrong, Xiao Yan, it's 230,000 gold coins."

Seeing Xiao Yan in a daze, Ya Fei confirmed again, and Xiao Yan slowly regained his senses, unable to help but click his tongue in surprise.

"Goodness, to think that such a bottle of liquid could sell for 230,000 gold coins. The cost was less than two thousand."

No wonder everyone wanted to become an alchemist, it was such a lucrative business.

"Hehe, at first the price was set at 100,000 gold coins, but those wealthy families were even more interested in it than I expected. The profit surprised even me."

Ya Fei smiled and handed the black gold card to Xiao Yan, along with a storage ring.

"Sister Ya Fei, what's this?"

Looking at the storage ring, Xiao Yan was puzzled.

Ya Fei placed her finger to her lips and winked at him, smiling.

"Since you trust me so much, I naturally have to give you some benefits. Accept it with peace of mind."

"…"

Xiao Yan stared at the storage ring for a long time before finally looking up at Ya Fei.

"Since you've said so, I can't refuse, I'll accept it. If you need anything in the future, as long as I am able to help, I will do my best!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ya Fei's stunning face moved closer to Xiao Yan.

"That's what you said, Xiao Yan."

"Uh…"

Xiao Yan froze for a moment, and then Ya Fei spoke again.

"I need a few Qi Gathering Pills. I've already placed the required materials in the storage ring. You'll be able to help me with this, right?"

"…"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a while, before showing a wry smile.

"Sister Ya Fei, is it really okay to trick your younger brother like this?"

"This was your promise, I didn't force you."

After saying that, Ya Fei lightly turned to the side and waved her hand at Xiao Yan.

"Well, I'll be leaving now, waiting for your good news."

Looking at Ya Fei's graceful figure disappearing in the distance, Xiao Yan helplessly slapped his forehead.

This sister of mine...

(Senior Yao, can I trouble you?) Xiao Yan asked in his heart, then added, (If you don't want to, I'll immediately refuse her.)

Xiao Yan knew clearly that making a promise to Ya Fei was like treating his teacher as a tool. This was quite rebellious behavior.

In response, Yao Chen's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

"It's no problem. You always have to owe some favors. It's better to owe them to your teacher than to outsiders." Yao Chen said nonchalantly. "It's just a Qi Gathering Pill. It won't take much effort. As long as the materials are enough, we can make them like peanuts."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel speechless.

Even if he wanted to make them like peanuts, he didn't have the funds for it yet. With the 230,000 gold coins on this card, it probably wouldn't even buy that many pills.

Xiao Yan put the black gold card and storage ring away, then turned and walked toward the training ground. Whatever needed to be done could wait for the evening; today's training hadn't finished yet, and as the supervisor, he couldn't leave for too long.

Just as Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance of the training ground, he saw his father, Xiao Zhan, walking out with a rather grim expression. His clothes were slightly torn and covered in dust.

When he saw Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed over, grabbing his son by the shoulder and asking in a stern voice.

"Yan'er! What's going on with these kids?!"
