Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 37 Kidney Deficiency Master and Disciple

The night was slightly cool, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. ✌🎁 ❻9Ŝ卄𝓾᙭.cØм 👍💲

Xiao Yan lay on a beam somewhere in the Pill Tower, his right hand under his head, his left hand holding a pot of sake, quietly gazing at the bright full moon in the sky.

For the fifteen years he had been in the Xiao Realm, he had always watched the moon formed by the Void Devouring Flame. The Starfall Pavilion was located in the Star Realm, and it was difficult to see the outside world. But tonight, he was able to enjoy the moonlight.

"Even if the moon is bright, I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace?" Xiao Yan held a wine jug and faced the huge full moon, exuding a loneliness that did not belong to this world.

"Hmm~, ah~!" The dimly lit room was filled with ambiguous light. Yao Lao sat in a chair, breathing heavily, while Xuan Yi straddled his thigh.

The point where the two met was covered by their clothes, so it was unclear what they were doing.

"Phew." The old apothecary wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at the man in black, saying, "Take a rest."

"Is that all?" A hint of disdain appeared on Xuan Yi's face.

Facing his old flame's expression, Yao Lao said without changing his expression, "It's been three hours since I returned this afternoon. In three hours, even a seventh-grade pill should be ready by now."

"Hmph, you, the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, spend three hours refining a pill?" Xuan Yi sneered.

"Hehe, take a break, take a break." At this moment, Yao Lao's skin seemed to be even thicker than Xiao Yan's.

Xuan Yi rolled his eyes at Yao Lao, stood up, and wrapped his mature and charming body in his clothes. He said indifferently, "Do you think our Pill Tower can take this opportunity to gather these young alchemists together and give them a proper training?"

"This is a matter for your Pill Tower. I'm not one of your Pill Tower members," Yao Lao said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"With your strength, you are more than qualified to be the fourth leader of the Pill Tower. In fact, if you are willing, Xuan Kongzi is even willing to give you the position of the chief president of the Pill Tower." Xuan Yi looked at Yao Lao with a complicated expression.

"Hehe, I'm used to being free and unrestrained. The responsibility in an organization is too great, so I won't participate." The old apothecary shook his head and smiled.

"Old man!" Xuan Yi glared, lying on the bed angrily without saying a word, his back to Yao Lao.

The old doctor chuckled and walked to the bedside without even pulling up his pants.

Don't be angry.

"Little clothes."

"baby."

While coaxing her, he slipped one hand inside her black cheongsam.

"Old man!" Xuan Yi suddenly turned around and stared at Yao Lao.

"Even if you don't join the Dan Tower, you should still provide guidance to the junior class this time."

"I'm returning to Starfall Pavilion in a couple of days," Elder Yao declined, "My disciple still wants to venture into the Northwest Continent."

"What's so great about venturing into the Northwest Continent? Don't you want him to have some interaction with those high-level alchemists from the Pill Tower?" Xuan Yi suddenly smiled.

"Communicate with the high-level alchemists of the Pill Tower." The old alchemist hesitated for a moment. Although he was vaguely regarded as the number one alchemist on the continent, it did not mean that he was omniscient and omnipotent.

Even the Medicine Emperor of yesteryear would sometimes humbly seek his guidance.

Alchemy skills vary in level, but no alchemist is perfect. As the holy land of alchemy on the continent, the Pill Tower's countless years of inherited experience are undoubtedly a great temptation for every alchemist.

"I'm afraid this kid won't be willing," the old apothecary shook his head helplessly.

"What's there to be unwilling about? Your apprentice is just like you, both of you are refined but lecherous. They look handsome, but they're actually very lustful."

Xuan Yi sneered and said, "He went to visit my Ying'er this afternoon, probably because he was lustful. And it seems he even has designs on that little girl from the Dan family."

"Young in age, but with considerable ambition."

"His ambitions are far from small," Yao Lao sighed inwardly, then said righteously, "Nonsense! How could my disciple be described as a refined beast?"

He paused, then said seriously, "He's not refined at all!"

Inside the Dan family mansion, Dan Chen sat blankly in front of the mirror, a tiny purple jasmine flower tucked into her long black hair.

"Do I really want to be his concubine?" The girl's face suddenly fell again.

"He's so mean, won't he bully me?"

Girls like her, who have been well protected since childhood and are introverted, are like the well-behaved girls in school on Earth. They are often easily pursued by roguish boys like Xiao Yan.

Many honest boys tend to think like students, so why would a quiet and pretty girl like this kind of scumbag or thug?

They don't understand that these girls don't necessarily like scumbags or hooligans.

What they might like is simply the light that bursts into the heart of a young girl just beginning to experience love; unfortunately, that light is often not good.

Unfortunately, these introverted and naive girls are not good at saying no, and as time goes by, they often fall for them.

In fact, if those teenagers had been a little bolder back then, they might have had a chance to win over their ideal woman.

In the Cao family compound, Cao Ying, who had woken up in the middle of the night, lay quietly in bed. According to her usual habits, she should already be cultivating or refining pills at this moment. Her strength was not only due to her extraordinary talent, but also to her hard work.

But tonight, Cao Ying was unusually lazy, lying down.

The moment I close my eyes, all I see in my mind is that handsome face with a touch of roguish charm.

Thinking of the two times Xiao Yan had ruthlessly defeated her and his domineering behavior this afternoon, Cao Ying couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips on her exquisitely beautiful face.

"Damn it!" she cursed, but it was unclear what she was thinking.

Girls like her are often drawn to the subtle tenderness within a man's domineering nature, but only after they've won him over.

If Xiao Yan hadn't won over Cao Ying before playing the domineering CEO role, even though he was Yao Lao's personal disciple, he probably would have been slapped away.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west; the long night passes, and it slowly rises again from the east.

The world continues to turn as usual, but today there are two more girls with complicated thoughts and a boy who has awakened from his homesickness.

"Phew!" Xiao Yan actually slept until dawn. He stood up and stretched his limbs, and with a slight circulation of his Dou Qi, he evaporated the smell of alcohol from last night.

With a flap of his fighting spirit wings, he flew towards the Starfall Pavilion's residence.

"Huh?" The old apothecary isn't here?

"He went to see his old flame again?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly, then ignored him and returned to his room to think about what to do next.

"According to the original plot, going to the Gamma Empire now is not the best time to pick up girls. You will miss many opportunities and coincidences. Moreover, Cao Ying and Dan Chen have only just opened the door."

Xiao Yan's original intention was to stay in the Pill Tower for a while longer, but one problem kept bothering him: the Strange Flame!

Without the strange fire, he would always be constrained by the Burning Technique, and his cultivation speed would be far slower than when he was in the Xiao Clan. That was bad enough, but the key issue was that terrible feeling of kidney deficiency.

Moreover, with the strange fire, his alchemy skills can be improved to a higher level, giving him the opportunity to break through to the seventh-grade alchemist level more quickly.

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly saw an old man with kidney deficiency walk in.

"Teacher! How did you become like this!" Xiao Yan exclaimed in shock.
