Touching his beard, Yao Chen had a faint smile on his face, "Since I want you to help me, I naturally have to take out something that will be useful to you."
Although he could not become a true master and disciple with Xiao Ling, being able to teach such a genius could also be considered as passing on his alchemy skills.
"By the way, I still feel a little sorry for your cousin. These items can be considered as some compensation for me wasting his cultivation and more than two years of his cultivation time. Don't address me in a strange way. You can just call me Yao Lao from now on." Thinking of Xiao Yan, Yao Chen sighed lightly and pointed at the Bone Flame Ring. Several scrolls floated in front of Xiao Ling.
"These are some martial arts and fighting skills that are suitable for him. Please send them to him in your name. If you are interested in them, you can take a look at them first." Pointing to the scrolls, Yao Chen smiled at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling nodded to Yao Chen and took a quick look at the scrolls that Yao Chen took out.
The Earth-level intermediate skill "Red Fire Blazing Flame Art", the Earth-level low-level fighting skill "Flame Devouring Wave Ruler", the Mystical-level high-level fighting skill "Eight Extreme Collapse"...
The things that Yao Chen took out were pretty good, but they were of little use to Xiao Ling. Although Xiao Ling had not learned many fighting skills, they were enough for Xiao Ling to use in battle.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ling put the scrolls into his storage ring. "Then I won't bother Mr. Yao anymore. Goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Xiao Ling left.
Yao Chen looked at Xiao Ling's leaving back, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
"Teacher, please come and teach me how to practice." Just then, Qing Lin's soft voice came from the room.
Hearing his disciple's call, Yao Chen showed a brilliant smile on his face, turned around and floated into the room, "Later, I will refine some foundation-building spirit liquid for you, so that you can practice Dou Qi more quickly..."
…
Coming to the training room he had been to before, Xiao Ling pushed the door open and walked in.
Within sight, Xiao Yan was seen to have woken up from his sleep and was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform in the center of the training room, practicing Dou Qi.
As if sensing the approaching footsteps, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
Upon finding out it was his cousin, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with gratitude, and he clasped his fists towards Xiao Ling, "Thank you, cousin, for helping me solve this strange physique. From now on, I can finally practice Dou Qi like a normal person. I will remember this kindness in my heart. If there is anything I can do to help my cousin in the future, I, Xiao Yan, will do my best."
Seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat excited look, he must have discovered that he was now cultivating the Dou Qi and would not disappear inexplicably anymore.
Waving his hand, Xiao Ling smiled faintly, "I received your gratitude. I am your cousin, there is no need to be so distant."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't know what had gone wrong in his brain to make him feel hostile towards his cousin in the past.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and cast a curious look at Xiao Ling, "By the way, cousin, do you know where my ring is? It was left to me by my mother before she passed away. It has special meaning to me."
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows. The ring was naturally Yao Chen's Bone Flame Ring, which had now been handed over to Qing Lin for safekeeping. Yao Chen had also mentioned to Xiao Ling before that he should not mention his affairs to Xiao Yan.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was just an ordinary ring before. I saw that the ring was quite exquisite, so I gave it to my sister, the girl in green you just met. If that ring is really important to you, I will take it back and return it to you." Xiao Ling replied calmly without changing his expression.
Although this answer was a bit absurd, it was not fair to take away someone's mother's relics; but the ring originally belonged to Yao Chen, and it was reasonable to give it to his disciple Qing Lin for safekeeping. Could it be that when Xiao Yan and Qing Lin meet in the future, he will have to ask Qing Lin to hide the Bone Flame Ring?
After hearing Xiao Ling's answer, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Since your cousin has already given it to your sister, then let it be my gift to her. I just ask you to tell her to take good care of the ring."
Xiao Ling nodded, "I will tell her about this."
Xiao Yan nodded and did not mention the ring any more. He scratched his head and looked at Xiao Ling a little embarrassedly, "Cousin, do you still have the kind of pill that can improve the cultivation of Dou Qi, like the one you gave me before? If possible, I would like to exchange some with you."
Hearing Xiao Yan asking about the pill, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, took out a storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan, "This storage ring contains some elixirs that can improve the cultivation of Dou Qi. Take the Yellow Dragon Pill orally, and take the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid Medicinal Bath. With the help of these two elixirs, with your physique that has reached Dou Zhe once, you should be able to cultivate to Dou Zhe again within two months."
"In addition to these elixirs, this ring also contains a volume of fire-attributed skills and several fighting techniques. When you are strong enough, you can learn these skills."
After listening to Xiao Ling's narration, Xiao Yan's eyes became more and more passionate as he looked at the storage ring in front of him.
However, Xiao Yan did not accept the ring. He suppressed his excitement and shook his head at Xiao Ling. "My cousin has helped me recover my talent for cultivation, which is already a great help to me. If I accept these resources for no reason, Xiao Yan will feel guilty."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. He did not expect that Xiao Yan's mind had become so mature now. For him who had just recovered his talent for cultivation, these pills that could quickly improve his cultivation should be extremely attractive and able to control the greed in his heart. It seemed that after these two and a half years of "tempering", Xiao Yan had indeed grown a lot.
Xiao Ling took out these pills and gave them to Xiao Yan, just to compensate him a little. Although Yao Chen took the initiative to find Xiao Ling for cooperation, Xiao Ling's appearance indirectly made Xiao Yan lose the great opportunity of Yao Chen. Without becoming Yao Chen's apprentice, Xiao Yan's future achievements would definitely be much worse than in the original novel.
But now it seems that Xiao Yan is still worth training. Although his talent for cultivation is not particularly outstanding and he should only be able to cultivate to the Dou Zong realm through normal training, Xiao Yan is a time traveler after all. He has had keen perception since childhood and his soul potential is his greatest advantage. As long as he has enough resources to train him, he definitely has the potential to become an eighth-grade alchemist.
