Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 235 Estimate... a pool?
The girl in his arms didn't notice the cold glint in the boy's eyes.

Her face flushed red after the boy made that promise, and her heart pounded like a deer, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

After hesitating for a moment, Xun'er suppressed her shyness and responded softly.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan laughed heartily, casting aside all distracting thoughts, and embraced the girl amidst her gasp of surprise.

This action was undoubtedly a bit too intense for a young girl just beginning to experience romantic feelings.

Xun'er felt dizzy and her face was burning. In her dazed state, she could only feel the warmth in her chest. She couldn't even remember the boy's words or how they eventually parted ways.

When she came to her senses, she was already back in her room.

Looking at her own flushed face in the mirror, Xun'er felt shy again.

Just then, a slightly awkward cough came from inside the room.

Xun'er suddenly woke up, quickly calmed down, and then remembered what she had just done—

After returning to her room, she summoned Ling Ying and instructed her to secretly protect Xiao Yan after he went to the Monster Mountain Range, so as to prevent him from encountering any insurmountable crises.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was trying to appear calm, the old man in black robes hidden in the shadows couldn't help but sigh.

He had thought that as she grew older, the young lady would gradually forget her childhood feelings, but to his surprise, her affection for the boy only grew deeper.

Now, even he, a Dou Huang, has been sent out to protect Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, Young Master Xiao Yan..."

Xun'er blushed again and said decisively, "Master Ling, my mind is made up, there's no need to say anything more!"

Ling Ying said helplessly, "Miss, what I mean is that the young man seems to have a powerful protector by his side, so perhaps we don't need to help him."

"You mean the soul beside Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xun'er frowned slightly and said coldly, "That guy is the root cause of Brother Xiao Yan's inability to cultivate for three years. Who knows what he is planning to do by following Brother Xiao Yan?"

"No, I'm worried!"

Ling Ying looked helpless and shook her head, saying, "Miss, don't worry. I never said that Young Master Xiao Yan only has one strong person by his side."

Xun'er was taken aback by his words and couldn't help but ask, "What does Master Ling mean?"

Ling Ying said solemnly, "Miss, as you know, Young Master Xiao Yan once sensed my presence."

"To sense a hidden Dou Huang as a mere fighter—I absolutely refuse to believe that such a heaven-defying technique exists in the world!"

Xun'er nodded and said, "You said that before."

Ling Ying shook his head and said, "At the time, I thought it was a reminder from the soul of that powerful figure, but now I have a different guess."

"Miss, think about it. If it really was that powerful person who reminded him, given Young Master Xiao Yan's personality, would he have revealed this matter?"

Xun'er was taken aback upon hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.

Yes, if it was a reminder from that powerful soul, there's no way they wouldn't have told Xiao Yan about Ling Ying's strength.

Xiao Yan's reaction at the time clearly showed that he was unaware of Ling Ying's strength or what he had done.

Therefore, there is only one truth!

Ling Ying said solemnly, "Young Master Xiao Yan is definitely protected by more than one powerful figure. There is another, or even several, powerful figures hiding behind the scenes!"

"Regarding this matter, I have already gleaned some clues."

"Although it cannot be confirmed at the moment, based on the information we have, I boldly speculate that besides the powerful soul of the suspected alchemist, there must also be a powerful forging expert by his side!"

Ling Ying was, after all, a Dou Huang, and moreover, a dark-attribute expert skilled in concealment.

When he developed an interest in Xiao Yan too early and began to go to great lengths to secretly investigate, he was naturally able to uncover many clues.

For example, the jade pendant with the pupil on Xiao Yan's body, the storage ring on his hand, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron he took out while refining medicine in the cave...

Of course, Yao Lao was well aware that Ling Ying was secretly following him.

But out of respect for Xun'er, he didn't say much. He simply shielded Xiao Yan from the energy fluctuations of the Nine Dragon Cauldron and allowed Ling Ying to follow from a distance.

Even so, the slight fluctuation before the concealment was enough for Ling Ying to make such a guess.

However, speculation is speculation after all. Although Xun'er believed it to a great extent, she could not change her mind as long as there was even a slight uncertainty.

Left with no other choice, Ling Ying reluctantly agreed and secretly protected Xiao Yan as instructed by her mistress.

……

……

On the other side, Xiao Yan was unaware that his simple hug had earned him a Dou Huang guard.

After parting ways with Xun'er, he returned to his family and went straight to his father Xiao Zhan's room.

Xiao Yan was quite worried about the future of the Xiao family. He planned to confront his father before heading to the Monster Mountain Range to provide the Xiao family with a safety net and a stronger foundation.

"what?!"

In the study, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes stared at Xiao Yan in shock and disbelief.

"You mean, you've become an alchemist?"

"good."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it, and countless white jade bottles instantly appeared, filling the entire study.

"This is... a blood-clotting powder?!"

Upon seeing the two thousand-plus bottles of blood-clotting powder, Xiao Zhan's pupils constricted, and his expression turned to astonishment.

When he came to his senses, he realized that his own son was the supplier behind the blood-clotting powder!
The only question is whether Xiao Yan is the disciple of that mysterious alchemist, or the alchemist himself...

"Of course, it's my apprentice!"

Xiao Yan said leisurely, "However, my teacher has always preferred quiet and is unwilling to show his face, so he asked me to act on his behalf. The one who appeared at the Xiao family to cooperate with my father was me."

Xiao Zhan suddenly realized why the alchemist looked so familiar; it turned out to be his son!
"Good good!"

"My Xiao family has actually produced an alchemist!"

Xiao Zhan was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. His handsome face revealed a complex mix of emotions, including realization, excitement, and relief.

But this feeling didn't last long, because he knew Xiao Yan well and quickly realized something else.

"...Why the sudden revelation?"

Xiao Zhan calmed down and looked at Xiao Yan with some confusion.

Xiao Yan sighed inwardly and slowly spoke, telling Xiao Zhan about his journey to the Monster Mountain Range for training.

After listening, Xiao Zhan fell silent.

But in the end, he forced a smile and expressed his support for Xiao Yan's idea.

“Utan City is too small. With your talent, you really shouldn’t be confined to this place.” “However, the Monster Mountain Range is too dangerous. If you really intend to train there for a year, then wait a bit. Your father has accumulated a considerable amount of working capital, enough for you…”

Hearing his father's rambling words, Xiao Yan was deeply moved.

But on the surface, he still sighed helplessly and interrupted, "Father!"

"Listen to me first."

Xiao Zhan was slightly taken aback, but seeing his son's serious expression, he fell silent.

Xiao Yan considered his words carefully and said softly, "Teacher hides his identity not only because he dislikes noise, but also because he offended some people back then and made quite a few enemies."

“These enemies are quite powerful, far more so than the small Xiao family.”

"Therefore, I must make some plans for my family before I leave."

Does this mean not only do they not want anything, but they also want to add to the household?
Xiao Zhan frowned deeply and shook his head, saying, "No!"

"Your journey is fraught with danger; how could I, as your father, hold you back?"

"Besides, I am at least a five-star Great Dou Master, and the Xiao family is far from being as powerful as you see it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Zhan's voice abruptly stopped. His eyes were fixed on the jade bottle in Xiao Yan's hand, and his expression gradually became one of astonishment and excitement.

"This...this is the prized possession of the Mitel Auction House, the Marrow Cleansing Elixir?!"

Is it the store's prized possession?
Xiao Yan chuckled to himself.

In the past twenty days, he did indeed give Mittel Auction House a lot of Marrow Cleansing Elixir in order to purchase medicinal materials.

Meanwhile, since the Mittel Auction House was willing to help him deal with the Garlie family, he accepted the favor and granted them the authority to auction the Marrow Cleansing Elixir.

Even so, the Mittel Auction House was still reluctant to auction off the elixir.

It wasn't until the last major auction, when Xiao Yan took a liking to the final item, that he took out a small bottle of Marrow Cleansing Elixir as a substitute.

It was obvious that Xiao Zhan had also participated in that auction and was well aware of the effects of this Marrow Cleansing Elixir.

Unfortunately, it wasn't just the forces from Wutan City that came to participate in the auction; families from surrounding cities also participated, so they were unable to acquire the bottle of spiritual liquid.

"What 'treasured item'..."

Xiao Yan shook his head and said calmly, "It's just diluted Marrow Cleansing Elixir. The bottle I'm taking out right now is the real Marrow Cleansing Elixir!"

what? !

Xiao Zhan was greatly shocked, and barely suppressed his excitement as he asked, "Was this spiritual liquid refined by your teacher?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and corrected, "To be precise, it was made by my teacher's friend!"

it's the same!
Xiao Zhan, unconcerned, still excitedly asked, "What about the auction house's items...?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I provided it too."

As he spoke, he placed the white jade bottle on the table and chuckled, "The Marrow Cleansing Elixir in this bottle is undiluted and extremely potent. Just one drop is enough for each cultivation session to increase the cultivation speed of a Great Dou Master by five times!"

If combined with some meridian-protecting pills, the concentration and speed can be further improved.

With such potent medicinal properties, it would be a lie for Xiao Zhan to say he wasn't tempted.

But seeing his son's youthful face, he suddenly calmed down and shook his head, saying:

"Such a precious spiritual liquid, you should keep it for yourself..."

"Not precious."

Xiao Yan shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the spiritual liquid in this bottle is only enough for a year, less than one ten-thousandth of the spiritual liquid I have!"

"One in ten thousand...?"

Xiao Zhan stared in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "Just how many did your teacher's friend refine?"

Xiao Yan said with some distress, "To be honest, I don't know either. I guess... there's a pool of them?"

Xiao Zhan: "..."

The world of big shots is hard to understand; Xiao Zhan said he couldn't comprehend it.

Xiao Yan said with a smile, "In short, I lack everything here, but I don't lack spirit liquid. Please feel free to use it. If you think one bottle is not enough, you can ask for a dozen more!"

"That's enough, that's enough!"

Xiao Zhan quickly spoke up and carefully put the jade bottle away.

After his father accepted the spirit liquid, Xiao Yan's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice with a serious tone, "Spirit liquid is only an auxiliary pill after all, and it cannot be converted into combat power in a short time. What I'm about to take out is the true foundation of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Zhan was slightly taken aback, then looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression.

With a wave of his hand, three enormous figures appeared out of thin air in the room.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Zhan discovered that these three figures were all steel giants over three meters tall, each with a black paint job and equipped with various mysterious and impressive weapons, making them look majestic and domineering.

"what is this?"

Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and he couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "This item is called power armor, and it was obtained by my teacher by accident."

"According to the teacher, this object is made of some unknown metal and has extremely strong energy resistance and conductivity."

"I have already tested it. A mortal wearing this item can withstand a Grand Master with his physical strength."

"If a Grand Dou Master wears this item, it can greatly amplify their Dou Qi and defense. Not to mention Dou Ling, even a low-star Dou Wang can fight for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner!"

This is indeed true, because all three sets of power armor were custom-made by Xiao Yan.

The unknown metal mentioned earlier is actually a magic steel ingot produced by Spine Peak City.

This thing also amplifies battle aura to a certain extent, and has extremely strong energy resistance. Warriors on the northern plateau at the front line have even had the glorious achievement of wearing magic steel ingot armor and withstanding the breath of the Royal Prison Dragon.

Of course, this does not mean that magic steel ingots are invincible.

In fact, its defense against physical attacks is far less effective than its resistance to energy attacks.

If the opponent does not use battle aura, but only uses physical force to penetrate the armor and attack the wearer's body, they can kill the wearer inside the armor.

In addition, soul attacks, mind control, and even poisoning can ignore the armor's amplification and protection.

Even so, these three powered armors are powerful enough for the Xiao family!

After listening to Xiao Yan's introduction, Xiao Zhan was both surprised and delighted. He was eager to try it out and, under Xiao Yan's guidance, put on the power armor and tried to move his body.

"Indeed, there was no sense of stagnation at all!"

After trying it out, Xiao Zhan reluctantly withdrew from the armor and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Xiao Yan knew he was worried about him again, so he sighed and said, "Don't worry, I still have this thing, and it's an even stronger model than these three!"
