Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 222 Xiao Yan
Upon seeing this sentence, even though he had already guessed it, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shrink his pupils, his heart filled with shock.

Sure enough, just like this Brother Fan, he seems to be a character in some story.

The people in the group must have read his story, which is why they were so excited about his appearance.

After a moment's thought, he cautiously asked, "@Lin Yu, admin, can I see my own story?"

Lin Yu: Of course!

[Lin Yu: However, I don't really recommend it...]

[Xiao Yan: Why?]

[Lin Yu: Because your future self is incredibly powerful, far beyond your current comprehension.]

[Lin Yu: In a way, you could even be considered that person's past self.]

[Lin Yu: For you, excessively prying into the future isn't necessarily a good thing...]

Looking at the message that popped up in the chat group, Xiao Yan looked bewildered, clearly still confused and unable to fully understand the hidden information in Lin Yu's three sentences.

But one thing is certain: he will be incredibly powerful in the future.

So powerful that it seems capable of influencing the past, that this administrator surnamed Lin made such a statement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt excited and even more looking forward to the future.

Lin Yu: Of course, I'm just making a suggestion.

Lin Yu: If you insist, I will still respect your opinion.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Lin!"

[Lin Yu: @He Jingfeng, let's look for it on your end. It's most convenient for you to upload it.]

[He Jingfeng: Don't worry, everything is ready!]

[Group member 'He Jingfeng' has uploaded the novel "Battle Through the Heavens" to the group files.]

Xiao Yan's spirits lifted, and he immediately opened the group files and downloaded the file.

As he clicked to download, he also saw numerous martial arts techniques and secret manuals in the group files.

The cultivation techniques from different worlds greatly excited Xiao Yan, and he couldn't help but scroll down to download all the techniques and knowledge that interested him.

Is knowledge actually shared in this chat group?

While surprised, Xiao Yan also felt a little guilty for taking advantage of the situation.

After a moment's hesitation, he also took out all the knowledge he possessed and uploaded it.

Unfortunately, he is still weak and penniless. The only things he can offer are the pill formulas from Elder Yao and the Yellow-rank advanced cultivation technique "Refining Fire" that he recently obtained from the Dou Qi Pavilion.

For the Xiao family today, this is already the most advanced fire-attribute cultivation technique.

After several upgrades, the chat group has become very selective about knowledge. Even with the boost from the new power system, Xiao Yan only managed to obtain 900 points.

Of course, this only applies to long-time group members.

For Xiao Yan, nine hundred points was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

He hesitated for a moment, but resisted the urge to spend money and immediately clicked on "Battle Through the Heavens".

Time moved forward in silence. The group members knew that Xiao Yan was reading his own future, so they weren't in a hurry to tag him. Instead, they chatted about everyday things as usual, laughing and talking.

After a full hour, Yao Lao finally finished refining all the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Seven white jade bottles were neatly arranged on the table, but Xiao Yan didn't even glance at them. His eyes remained vacant, his expression complex, as if he hadn't noticed what was happening in the room at all.

"..."

The old doctor frowned, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort to vent his dissatisfaction.

As a former eighth-grade alchemy master, he went to great lengths to condescend to refine a mere second-grade Foundation Establishment Elixir, all so that Xiao Yan, who was now penniless, could auction it off to pay off his debts.

And what happened to that brat?
It's one thing to not properly observe his alchemy techniques, but to actually let your mind wander off into the heavens?!
Perhaps sensing the unfriendly gazes in the room, Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie from the chat group. Seeing Yao Lao's gloomy face, he couldn't help but shrink back and chuckle awkwardly:

"teacher……"

"Humph!"

The old apothecary snorted softly, his tone slightly displeased as he said, "Thinking about that little girl again?"

“Xun’er… no, it’s just…”

At this point, Xiao Yan paused, hesitating whether to tell Yao Lao about the chat group.

In this regard, the chat group itself does not have strict requirements, at most there are some censorship and restrictions on the seven words 'Chat Group of All Realms'.

If the group members are willing, they can completely bypass the group name and reveal the chat group information in a more subtle way.

However, so far, no group member has made a similar attempt.

If Xiao Yan chooses to confront Yao Lao, he will be the first person to reveal the existence of the chat group.

Due to the short time available, Xiao Yan has only seen the Monster Mountain Range chapter so far, but even so, Yao Lao's attitude towards him in these short hundred-odd chapters is evident to all.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they treated each other with utmost sincerity and regarded each other as their own children!
Recalling the future he had just seen, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and decided to trust Yao Lao, revealing everything about the chat group.

However, due to relevant restrictions, the term "chat group" is rarely heard.

Therefore, Xiao Yan had to change his approach, describing the chat group as a fragment of a divine artifact hidden within him. Possessing this fragment would allow him to traverse countless worlds, communicate with others in other worlds who also possess fragments, and even teleport across realms to trade items.

"what?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao's pupils constricted sharply, unable to conceal his shock.

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, indicating that what he had just said was absolutely true.

Yao Lao composed himself, forcing back his shock, and said, "There are actually other worlds outside of this Dou Qi Continent... Brat, you've really encountered an incredible opportunity this time!"

"..."

Xiao Yan smiled, clearly thinking the same thing.

But to his surprise, after the initial excitement and shock, the old doctor's first reaction was to rebuke him for his recklessness.

"Such a precious treasure cannot be revealed so easily."

"If the news leaks out, let alone someone like you with a ninth-level Dou Qi, even I, in my prime, would never be able to protect it!"

Seeing the solemn expression on Yao Lao's face, Xiao Yan was taken aback, but a warm feeling also rose in his heart.

"Don't worry, teacher," he said with a light laugh. "I don't tell just anyone."

"..."

The old doctor was moved, and his expression softened.

After a moment's thought, he whispered again, "This treasure is too precious; it is both an opportunity and a risk."

"From now on, this matter is between you and me, and absolutely no third person can know about it!"

Xiao Yan's expression turned serious, and he nodded, saying, "I understand!"

The old apothecary worried that he still did not understand the importance of the matter, so he emphasized: "The third person I mentioned also includes your father and that girl named Xun'er."

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly again, indicating that he would never reveal this to his family.

The old doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief and let him go.

"Don't think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill." The old doctor said solemnly, giving a serious lecture. "Human nature cannot withstand testing. It is not uncommon on the continent for someone to possess a great treasure but be betrayed by their loved ones."

"If you don't want to experience betrayal, you'd better not gamble in the first place..."

Upon hearing Yao Lao's earnest words, Xiao Yan's heart stirred, and he keenly sensed the sadness within them.

It's obvious that Yao Lao had a similar experience, but Xiao Yan hadn't seen the later plot and didn't know the story of Han Feng betraying Yao Lao for the sake of the Burning Technique.

"In any case, let's sell these seven bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir first!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand and used a cloth bag to collect all seven white jade bottles, preparing to take them to the Mittel Auction House for auction.

But before he could make any further move, the old doctor quickly stopped him, glared at him, and said irritably:

"madness!"

“Auctioning Foundation Establishment Elixir is only a last resort, as it carries the risk of attracting unwanted attention.”

"Since you possess a powerful interdimensional treasure, why not try using that interdimensional teleportation power to see if you can obtain materials for refining Qi Gathering Powder, or similar pills, from other worlds..."

"Oh right!" Xiao Yan slapped his forehead, annoyed. "How could I not have thought of that!"

In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't think of it, but rather that he had just seen the future plot and knew that these seven bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir would fetch an astronomical price at the auction, so he subconsciously chose to act according to the plot.

This is also one of the drawbacks of his glimpse into the future; it's just unknown when he'll realize it...

Open the chat group; the members are still chatting and laughing.

Xiao Yan didn't send a message immediately, but instead took a look at the group store he had wanted to check out before.

Artificial spiritual roots, top-grade spirit stones, immortal artifacts, magic scrolls, kinetic armor, Iron Man suits...

The dazzling array of goods from different worldviews was overwhelming, and Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. He almost pressed the buy button next to each item several times.

However, seeing the mere three-digit points in the upper right corner of the upload screen, Xiao Yan resisted the urge to shop.

Modern sci-fi weapons are indeed very cool and can directly enhance combat power, but Xiao Yan has seen the plot of the next few years and knows that he will become stronger very quickly.

Even if you buy some armored combat suit now, it won't be long before it becomes obsolete.

"We can't waste our points on these external things..."

Xiao Yan shook his head, dismissing the technological items and turning his attention to the magical and fantasy items.

Finally, after browsing for ten minutes, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, scrolled back to the top of the list, and spent a huge sum of five hundred points to buy a top-grade spirit stone.

Once the spirit stones were in his personal inventory, Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and with a sudden thought, he noticed a cold object in his hand.

He was overjoyed and quickly opened his eyes. Looking down, he saw a blue crystal in his palm, exactly the same spirit stone he had seen in the miniature image in the shop.

"It actually works that cross-dimensional teleportation!"

The old doctor stared at the blue crystal in shock.

After regaining his senses, he composed himself and asked, "What is this?"

"Spirit stones! And top-grade spirit stones at that!"

Xiao Yan held up the crystal with a delighted expression and said, "Teacher, please take a look. Is there any way to absorb the energy in this spirit stone?"
