Three days later, to the shocked and horrified gazes of everyone in Utan City, the Galie Family, which had once dominated Utan City and was considered a powerful force, actually left Utan City in such a disheveled state.
In front of the Three-Star Alchemist named Liu Panlong, the Galie Family, once among the three major families of Utan City, was suppressed to the point where they couldn't lift their heads at all.
What shocked many people even more was that Liu Panlong actually referred to Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family as Junior Martial Uncle, and his attitude was so respectful.
Such a scene made many people wonder how powerful the sect behind Xiao Yan truly was.
At the same time, they also clearly realized that Utan City had truly changed, and the era of the Xiao Family's absolute dominance was about to arrive.
And the one who easily broke this original tripartite balance was the Xiao Family's peerless Genius, who could be called a Prodigy.
"Master, the Galie Family has completely rolled out of Utan City."
In a small courtyard somewhere in the Xiao Family, Liu Panlong stood in a quiet room, his face no longer bearing the arrogance he displayed when facing the Galie Family. He respectfully looked at Xiao Yan, who was Cultivating cross-legged on the bed.
"Well done."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan merely nodded faintly, then instructed, "Next, your main task is to help my Xiao Family refine Medicinal Pills."
"Every month, dedicate ten days to refining some basic Medicinal Pills, ten days to refining Foundation Establishment Liquid, and the remaining ten days to refining other Medicinal Pills.
Your lineage isn't particularly good, yet you managed to reach Three-Star without sufficient guidance. Now with guidance, there's a chance you could become a Six-Star Alchemist in the future.
At the very least, with your previous accumulation, becoming a Four-Star Alchemist in the short term won't be difficult."
Xiao Yan looked at Liu Panlong, but he didn't have too many expectations.
In his opinion, even with some guidance from Yao Lao or even himself, Liu Panlong would likely exhaust his potential by reaching Six-Star.
Advancing to Seven-Star would be considered a great fortune.
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, a fervent look appeared on Liu Panlong's respectful face.
For an Alchemist, what could be more exhilarating than the improvement of one's Alchemy skills?
A Six-Star Alchemist, in the past, Liu Panlong wouldn't even dare to dream of it. In his original trajectory, he felt that reaching Four-Star before his death would leave him with no regrets.
But through a twist of fate, he actually had the hope of advancing to Six-Star, which was why Liu Panlong so quickly and wholeheartedly submitted to Xiao Yan.
"Hmm, you don't need to worry too much about the medicinal ingredients. Just focus on refining Medicinal Pills. I've already spoken to Teacher, and he will spare two hours a month to guide you."
Xiao Yan nodded gently, then waved his hand.
"Go out. Go back to your own place to refine Medicinal Pills."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing Xiao Yan like this, Liu Panlong quickly affirmed, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan, and then left Xiao Yan's room.
After Liu Panlong left, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes again, beginning to absorb the free energy between heaven and earth.
When it was late at night, he slowly opened his eyes, and with the flow of Dou Qi, he was much stronger than before.
"Five-Star Dou Disciple."
Feeling the much thicker Dou Qi within his body, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
From Four-Star Dou Disciple to Five-Star Dou Disciple, it took him less than a month. At this rate, even if the later stars become slower and slower, he could probably prepare to break through to Dou Master within half a year.
"Once I reach Dou Master, it'll be time to go out and search for strange flames."
Feeling the Dou Qi in his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head gently. Without a strange flame, his true strength would always be difficult to fully display.
Even with a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Fire's sub-flame, it was still far inferior to a true strange flame.
"You mean, from now on, you're officially going to start selling Foundation Establishment Liquid to the outside world?"
The next day, looking at Xiao Yan who had arrived at the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei covered her red lips in surprise, a hint of pleasant surprise in her charming peach blossom eyes.
"That's right. Besides the healing Medicinal Pills I provided you before, Foundation Establishment Liquid will also be included in the Medicinal Pills our Xiao Family sells externally.
As for the partner, it's still you."
Looking at Ya Fei, who was so happy her small mouth couldn't close, a faint, wicked thought suddenly arose in Xiao Yan's heart.
"With your previous refining speed, how terrifying would the number of Medicinal Pills refined in a month be?
These Medicinal Pills have already exceeded the market capacity of Utan City, this small place."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ya Fei gently smoothed the rising and falling waves on her chest with her jade hand, trying to suppress her excited emotions.
But her fragrant tongue couldn't help but press against her moist red lips, an unintentional temptation that made Xiao Yan feel a hint of enchantment.
Since meeting Xiao Yan, Ya Fei had gained over five hundred thousand gold coins in net profit over the past six months.
Such a huge sum had already allowed her to far surpass other peers in her Family.
And now, the channel Xiao Yan provided seemed to be even larger than before.
"From now on, you will be responsible for helping to collect medicinal ingredients and sell Medicinal Pills, but I can only give you thirty percent of the profits."
Tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, Xiao Yan took a sip of tea and said with some helplessness.
Since he wanted to support the Xiao Family, he naturally had to give thirty percent of the profits to the Family.
"Hehe, thirty percent is already a huge profit for me. If it were more, I would feel a bit uneasy taking it."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ya Fei couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
According to Xiao Yan, in the future, the Mittel Auction House would be provided with a thousand bottles of each of the three types of First Grade Pills, as well as ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Liquid every month.
The terrifying profit from this would likely reach hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million gold coins each month.
Even if thirty percent was given out, it was still an enviable sum of money.
"I really don't understand why you, this little guy, are so good to me."
Looking at Xiao Yan's clear eyes, Ya Fei suddenly sighed, her beautiful eyes looking at Xiao Yan with a hint of unease.
"Hehe, because I want you, the person."
Under the illumination of the crystal lamp, Xiao Yan's face still held a gentle smile, but he suddenly reached out and gently brushed away the strands of hair from Ya Fei's forehead.
His eyes were still incredibly clear, but they now held a hint of fervent desire.
In his previous life, for various reasons, Xiao Yan had never fully expressed his feelings for this woman, and after tens of thousands of years, a strange ambiguity still remained.
However, in this Rebirth, he had enough confidence to control the direction of the future. Although having more women was bound to create some problems that even he, the Flame Emperor, would find troublesome, how could Xiao Yan give up because of a little difficulty?
The moment he was Reborn, he had already decided that in this life, he must give them a true home.
"Remember, you are worth me doing this."
His palm gently caressed Ya Fei's smooth, delicate cheek, and before the woman could feel shy, Xiao Yan smiled and turned to leave.
Looking at the gradually receding figure of the young man, Ya Fei's pretty face became even redder.
"I really don't understand how a twelve-year-old child could have such methods, but he seems to be turning thirteen soon, right?"
Only then did Ya Fei realize that compared to six months ago, the young man's height had unknowingly grown by an inch.
"When he truly grows up, I wonder if I'll still have the courage to resist him."
Thoughts of wild fancy flashed through her mind, and a bitter smile appeared on Ya Fei's lips, yet she didn't notice that her eyes had gained a hint of shyness and tenderness.
By the time Xiao Yan finished discussing matters and returned to the Family, he found that the originally quiet Family had become very lively.
Somewhat confused, Xiao Yan pulled over a clansman and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Being suddenly tugged, the clansman initially wanted to turn around and curse a bit, but upon seeing the handsome young face that was half a head shorter than his own, his face instantly showed a hint of flattery and surprise.
"Young Clan Leader, you've returned at just the right time!"
"Because of your world-shaking talent, the Obama Family has now actually taken the initiative to pledge allegiance to our Xiao Family and become our Xiao Family's subordinate."
"Just now, the Clan Chief even sent someone to look for you."
