Battle Through the Heavens: He possesses extraordinary comprehension and is born a Battle Emperor!

Chapter 35: Going out to find the Strange Flame four years ahead of schedule

Although he had spent so many years with Xiao Chong, Xiao Yan spent most of his time rolling his eyes at his fellow villager cousin.

After all, when two geniuses are born in the same clan, it is inevitable that there will be comparisons between them in their daily lives and interactions.

Moreover, Xiao Yan also possesses a mature soul, and with beautiful women from the outside world constantly surrounding him, it's inevitable that he would feel some jealousy.

Because Xiao Yan is also a genius, he has the right to be jealous.

Even if Xiao Yan knew that his genius was able to grow so much because of Xiao Chong, he hadn't given Xiao Chong a good look over the years. Instead, he always regarded Xiao Chong as an opponent he could surpass.

However, seeing Xiao Chong casually toss over such a precious cultivation technique and even find him a master, even Xiao Yan couldn't help but be moved.

Xiao Chong waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned.

"Saying thank you is fine. If you really want to repay me, then refine more Grade 9 or Emperor-grade pills for me to enjoy like candy."

"Anyway, I have plenty of medicinal herbs here. There's definitely no shortage for you to use!"

"You son of a bitch..."

Upon hearing Xiao Chong's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes again, but it was also clear that he no longer harbored much suspicion towards Xiao Chong.

However, the desire to surpass Xiao Chong still lingers in his heart!

Similarly, seeing Xiao Chong's appearance, Yao Lao nodded in agreement.

He sensed a leisurely and carefree attitude from Xiao Chong that was almost insurmountable.

With this mindset, coupled with Xiao Chong's heaven-defying talent, from now on, Xiao Chong will surely have a place in the immortal legends of the Dou Qi Continent!

The only pity is that he can't take such a genius as his disciple. Such a person is just too amazing. Even if Yao Chen considers himself a good teacher, he can't help but feel a little ashamed.

After interrupting Xiao Chong and Yao Lao's conversation, Yao Lao asked, "So, when do you two plan to learn alchemy?"

The quality of the medicinal herbs in this medicinal field was so high that even the old alchemist was moved by them. This grandmaster alchemist was now eager to demonstrate his alchemy skills to Xiao Chong and the other man.

And this time, he used his alchemy skills in front of Xiao Chong, the unparalleled genius of the Xiao family!

He refused to believe that Xiao Chong possessed such extraordinary talent, even in the art of alchemy.

Xiao Chong nodded and said, "If you are interested, then you can start preparing now. I have some things to discuss with my younger brother."

Originally, the old apothecary only intended to casually refine a fourth-grade pill to show off his skills, but after seeing Xiao Chong's talent and the medicinal herbs in the herb field, he changed his mind.

Now, he plans to make a seventh-grade pill to show these two young guys what a real alchemist is.

Because of the life force provided by the medicinal fields here, plus the considerable soul power that Xiao Chong transferred when he awakened him, the old medicine master can now guarantee that even though he is a soul body, he will definitely be able to refine a seventh-grade pill!

While Yao Lao was making preparations for alchemy, Xiao Chong chatted with Xiao Yan for a while.

"Brother Xiao Chong, what are your plans... or the Xiao family's plans for the future?"

Although Xiao Chong appears to be a very lazy person, Xiao Yan understands that Xiao Chong now holds all the power in the Xiao family.

He knew that Xiao Chong would no longer bother with outsiders like the Jia Lie family.

If other families that are hostile to the Xiao family do appear, Xiao Chong will not pay any attention to them as long as they are not strong. Instead, he will treat them as whetstones for the Xiao family to grow and rise quickly.

Xiao Chong nodded, a thoughtful expression appearing on his otherwise lazy yet exceptionally handsome face.

"We need to deal with some of the hidden dangers of the Gama Empire first. It's only a matter of time before the Soul Palace's forces notice this place. I need to go out and find a way to prolong this time as much as possible."

"Also, as an alchemist, you need some start-up capital, and the best way to do that is to directly take down a powerful and high-level alchemist!"

"Then seize all his collections and treasured prescriptions, pharmacies, and medicinal herbs. This will make your alchemy skills develop much faster."

"This time, quite a few of our relatives from Wutan City, who have a fairly good relationship with us, have come here, such as the Mittel family and the Nalan family."

"The Mittel family may not be in a hurry to go back, but the Nalan family still needs to go back, after all, they still need to send Nalan Yanran back to Yunlan Sect for cultivation."

"The journey from Wutan City to the capital is long and fraught with danger, so I naturally need to send them back first."

This is also another plan of Xiao Chong's now. The Xiao family has some clan-protecting formations that they have secretly left behind, so it is difficult for anything to go wrong.

On the way back, Xiao Chong planned to walk the same path that Xiao Yan had once taken, and look for the wonders he had encountered.

After all, there are still many things that can be dealt with in advance along the way, such as the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

In addition, because the Xiao family has been living in seclusion, Xiao Chong has never seen a real strange fire. This time when he goes out, he may be able to see what his real strange fire looks like.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but purse his lips and complain.

"What do you mean by sending someone home? You clearly just want to go on an adventure, right? You've been staying at home for so long, it's normal to want to go out and explore."

"Besides, Nalan Yanran is your fiancée, with whom you were betrothed since childhood. She's here as a guest; you can't expect him to abandon her when he leaves."

"Anyway, I don't have a very good impression of any of them. I always feel that although they seem to be loyal and righteous on the surface, they are actually a bit too materialistic."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong lazily stretched and chuckled.

"Snobbishness is a normal thing, especially for a family."

"Also, if you treat me like this, don't blame me for not bringing you information about the Strange Flame next time I come back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately backed down.

"No, you're my brother, I'll back down, okay?!"
