Chapter 20

The next day, early in the morning.

Xiao Bai sat cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, exhaled, and ended a night of practice.

After getting up and washing up, Xiao Bai prepared to go to the Xiao family's reception hall.

Today is the day when Nalan Yanran comes to visit, and Xiao Bai has been waiting for this for several months.

Ever since Xun'er gave him a lot of pills, he had some ideas. Could he become an alchemist now?

Alchemists are a distinguished profession in Douqi Continent. They can refine natural treasures into various elixirs with magical effects, or improve their cultivation, or heal injuries...

To become an alchemist, three conditions are required: fire and wood attributes, fire, and soul perception.

It is rare to find a person who is born with the attributes of fire and wood in his soul among the billions of people in the Douqi Continent.

This person needs to practice fire-attributed skills to produce fire.

These two things alone are not enough; one also requires excellent soul perception.

Various reasons have led to the current abnormal status of alchemists - a profession that is superior to that of fighting masters.

Originally, after Xiao Bai knew that he had the thunder attribute, he was not keen on the profession of alchemist.

But now it’s different, he has the possibility of becoming an alchemist.

Wood attribute, Yi Wood Positive Thunder contains Yi Wood Qi.

Fire, he has Bing Fire Yang Thunder, among which Bing Fire Qi is also a kind of flame.

As for soul perception, he was not worried about it at all. His current soul perception was definitely comparable to that of a sixth-grade alchemist, or even stronger.

With both fire and wood, plus a strong soul, it should be feasible in theory, but neither fire nor wood are independent, they are attached to thunder.

He was unsure whether it would be impossible to refine it if the thunder attribute was added.

Therefore, he must intervene in today's affairs, as he needs Yao Lao's inheritance as an eighth-grade alchemist.

Originally, he was just going to watch the broken engagement scene, but after having this idea, he had been silently planning this matter while refining the Bing Fire Yang Thunder.

Today is the best opportunity. If everything goes well, not only can he achieve his goal, but he can also do a favor.

Xiao Bai arrived at the reception hall, only to see that it was already full of people. At the top sat Xiao family head Xiao Zhan and four elders.

The row on the lower left is the powerful elders of the Xiao family, and sitting behind them are the more outstanding younger generations of the Xiao family.

There were three people sitting in the row on the right, an old man and two young people, a man and a woman.

The old man was wearing a moon-white robe and looked energetic. On his cuffs was embroidered a small colorful sword, which was the symbol of the Yunlan Sect.

Looking at his chest again, there is a silver moon painted with seven golden stars around it. This is the symbol of the Seven-Star Grand Master.

This was the first time Xiao Bai had seen this thing and he was a little speechless. There were actually people who would put their strength so clearly on their chests.

If those people in the previous life and Lao Liu saw this, they would definitely be ecstatic.

The man and woman next to the old man were also wearing the same style of moon-white robes.

The man was about 20 years old. In terms of appearance, Xiao Bai's aesthetic taste, which he had cultivated by looking at himself in the mirror every day, could only be described as average.
But some young girls in the Xiao family are quite obsessed with him, not only because of his appearance, but most importantly, the five stars on his chest, the Five-Star Fighter.

As for that girl, she must be Nalan Yanran. She has a pretty appearance, a cold face, and three stars on her chest, but the pride in her eyes is almost overflowing.

She did have the capital to be proud of in the Gama Empire. She was from one of the three major families in the Gama Empire, the granddaughter of the Nalan family, and the beloved disciple of the leader of the Yunlan Sect. She could almost walk sideways in the Gama Empire.

When Xiao Bai was looking at a few people, he suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve.

When I turned my head, I saw it was the little girl Xun'er.

After she pulled Xiao Bai to sit in a corner, she looked at him jokingly and said:

"Brother Xiao Bai, is that girl pretty?"

Xiao Bai frowned and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Hmm~, three-dimensional facial features, fair skin, cool temperament, thin waist and long legs..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xun'er beside him, only to see that her face was getting darker and darker.

Xiao Bai continued to say a lot of compliments, but when he saw that the girl was about to lose her temper, he changed the subject.

"...But, it's not even a fraction as good as my Xun'er!"

Xiao Xun'er's expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she gave him a coquettish look.

At first, when I saw Xiao Bai had a serious face and kept praising her, I thought he really liked the girl, but it turned out that he was just teasing her.

As the two were chatting and laughing, Xiao Yan appeared in the hall.

It was still the same plot. Xiao Zhan asked Xiao Yan to take a seat, but when he looked around, there was no seat reserved for him in the front.

He is the protagonist today, he can't sit in the corner, wouldn't that make him a laughing stock?

Xiao Bai watched this scene coldly and shook his head in his heart.

He couldn't stand the behavior of these elders at all.

In Xiao Bai's mind, no matter what conflicts or competitions there were among the tribesmen, they should at least show solidarity in front of outsiders! Even if it was just a superficial show.

Embarrassing one's own people in front of outsiders would only make them a laughing stock. It would not only be Xiao Yan who would lose face, but also the entire Xiao family.

Once one of the eight ancient clans, it could almost be said to be the leader of the eight clans when Xiao Xuan was alive. But now it has fallen to such a state, and it seems there is a reason for it.

If it weren't for the son of destiny, Xiao Yan, this family would not be able to rise again, and it might not even be certain whether the Xiao family would still exist decades later.

Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat, noticed his son's embarrassing situation and became extremely angry.

These old guys really want to make fun of his son and himself in front of outsiders. What good do they get from doing this?
"Xiao Yan, come to my side!"

A deep voice sounded in the hall, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Xiao Bai in the corner.

Several elders wanted to say something, but when they saw Xiao Xun'er next to them, they shut their mouths instantly.

Xiao Yan was relieved to see that someone finally came to his rescue. He came to sit next to Xiao Bai and whispered:
"Brother Bai, thank you!"

Xiao Bai nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Next, Ge Ye, the elder from the Yunlan Sect, expressed his intention to cancel the engagement. Xiao Zhan was furious, and Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan made a three-year agreement.

Later, because of Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan shouted out the famous words in grief and anger:

"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty!"

Then he wrote the divorce letter and ran away.

After Xiao Bai saw Xiao Yan leave, he knew it was time for him to take action, otherwise if he was too late the old man would come out.

If we wait until Yao Lao accepts Xiao Yan before going, we can get the job done, but it will be too troublesome.

And he doesn't like trouble!

He stood up, stretched, and walked out slowly.

"Brother Xiao Bai, where are you going?"

Xiao Xun'er asked in confusion when she saw Xiao Bai was about to leave.

"Go to the back mountain"

Xiao Bai waved his hand without looking back.

"Wait for me, I'll go with you!"
