At night, Xiao Yan returned to his own small courtyard after exchanging shifts with the other Elders. He saw Ruo Lin and Little Zi Yan sitting in the living room. There were still steaming hot dishes on the dining table. Clearly, they were waiting for him to return.
Ruo Lin and Little Zi Yan stood up to welcome Xiao Yan when they saw him return. Ruo Lin called out loudly and walked into the kitchen. Little Zi Yan even called out 'big brother' and leaned on Xiao Yan.
"Ke ke, did Little Zi Yan misbehave today?”
Xiao Yan laughed as he hugged Little Zi Yan and asked.
"Little Zi Yan is very, very obedient today. He even helped Sister Ruo Lin cook."
Little Zi Yan was still stuttering when she spoke. However, she was already able to express the meaning she wanted to say. She spoke to Xiao Yan with a childish voice and a proud face.
"Is that so? That Little Zi Yan is really powerful.”
Xiao Yan rubbed Little Zi Yan's head with a doting expression as he spoke.
"Yes, yes…"
Little Zi Yan arched her head in front of Xiao Yan's chest and emitted an 'en en' sound.
At this moment, Ruo Lin came out from the kitchen with a basin of water. She gently said to Xiao Yan,"You must be hungry. Come and wash your hands.”
Seeing Ruo Lin's appearance of a good wife and mother, Xiao Yan suddenly felt like he had a home. This caused Xiao Yan to feel a feeling called happiness and also caused Xiao Yan to like Ruo Lin even more.
"Alright. Little Zi Yan did not give you any trouble today, right? She is not easy to serve.”
Xiao Yan asked.
"Little Zi Yan is very obedient. It is not troublesome at all. It's just that Little Zi Yan is eating medicinal pills like they are jelly beans. I'm a little worried that she might not be in any danger.”
Ruo Lin said worriedly.
"Ke ke, it's fine. You don't need to worry. Little Zi Yan's constitution is special and requires a lot of energy to advance. That's why she eats medicinal pills like jelly beans.”
Xiao Yan looked at Ruo Lin's worried face and said in a somewhat amused manner. Thinking about it, she found it funny. Ruo Lin must have been very cute when she saw Little Zi Yan eating the medicinal pill like it was candy.
"Is that so? At that time, I was frightened to death. If it was not for the fact that Zi Yan was fine, I would not know what to do.”
Ruo Lin recalled the scene at that time and said with some fear.
"Hehe, alright, don't be afraid. Let's eat.”
Xiao Yan smiled as he pulled Ruo Lin to the dining table. As he ate the lovely dinner that Ruo Lin had made and enjoyed Ruo Lin's meticulous care, Xiao Yan felt that his past days had been wasted. Of course, that was except for the days when he was with a few beauties.
On the second day, Ruo Lin followed Xiao Yan's instructions and went to gather those students who were the same as Ruo Lin. Xiao Yan also brought Little Zi Yan to the trading area to purchase some medicinal ingredients. The things he bought were medicinal ingredients that could be used to refine medicinal pills like the 'Ice Spirit Pill' that could remove and suppress fire poison.
Xiao Yan currently wanted to refine these medicinal pills before selling them. That was why he had asked Ruo Lin to gather people. This way, not only would they be able to improve their lives, they would also be able to earn a large amount of 'Fire Energy'. Xiao Yan naturally would not let them go.
Xiao Yan needed some people to do things for him. After all, Xiao Yan only had a pair of hands. It was impossible for him to do everything himself. Moreover, Xiao Yan was very lazy. Therefore, Xiao Yan began to form his own faction. However, because he was already an Elder of the Inner Academy, he could not form 'Pan's Gate' like in the original novel. He could only summon a group of people to do things for him. However, Xiao Yan did not mind. He was satisfied with having a group of people do things for him.
After Xiao Yan bought enough medicinal ingredients, he was a little surprised when he saw the number on his card. It wasn't a problem to buy a single medicinal ingredient, but all of them added up was really a little scary. His 1,000 points of fire energy was only left with 200 plus points. It seemed that the alchemist profession really burned money. He had only asked for the herbs in the Xiao family and had never bought them himself, so he did not know how much money he had spent. It seemed that he had troubled his father a lot at home.
When he returned to his courtyard, he saw that Ruo Lin had already gathered more than ten people. Most of them were men, and there were only three girls. When Ruo Lin saw that Xiao Yan had returned, she ran in front of Xiao Yan and gave him a report.
"Ke ke, good day to all students. My name is Xiao Yan. This time, Ruo Lin has called you all here because she is somewhat busy and needs your help. I have already understood your current situation from Ruo Lin, so I would like to ask everyone to help me with some things for a reward of one fire energy per day. Of course, it's not something that's against the heavens and reason. I just want you to help me sell the pills I refined and help me collect some medicinal herbs. I don't need you to do anything else.”
Xiao Yan loudly said to everyone.
"Really? You didn't lie to us. How should we believe you?”
A 10-year-old boy asked, and the others echoed.
"Ke ke, you don't have to worry about this. I will pay you half a month's worth of remuneration, which is fifteen 'Fire Energy'. Therefore, you don't have to worry about not getting any remuneration for what you have done. If anyone is willing to do it, come to me to receive fire energy. Those who are unwilling can leave.”
Xiao Yan said with a smile.
In the end, no one left. After everyone obtained Fire Energy, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and looked happy.
"Alright, since none of you have left and I have given you the Fire Energy, you can come back here tomorrow. Tomorrow, Ruo Lin will tell you what to do.”
Xiao Yan loudly instructed.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone thanked him and left. Only one person walked in front of Xiao Yan and said to Xiao Yan with killing intent,"Be good to Ruolin, or I will kill you.”
"Lonemoon, you…"
Ruo Lin pouted in embarrassment.
Looking at the cold man in front of him, who was dressed in black and looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, Xiao Yan felt a little cold from his cold expression. She was stunned for a moment when she heard his words, but she quickly reacted.
"Haha, don't worry, I will treat Ruo Lin well.”
Xiao Yan said with a serious face.
"Hmph, I hope so."
The cold man left after saying that.
"Xiao Yan, please don't mind him. Lonemoon has such a personality. However, he was a very good person. He was a person who looked cold on the surface but was passionate on the inside.”
Ruo Lin hurriedly explained.
"Hehe, I know. However, my Ruolin's charm is quite big. It seems that I have to work harder. Otherwise, you will be snatched away by others.”
Xiao Yan joked.
When Ruo Lin heard Xiao Yan say 'my family's Ruo Lin', her pretty face flushed red as she rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan and ran back to her room.
"Ha ha, this person called Lonemoon seems to be quite good. He is able to reach the peak of the Da Dou Shi class at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Looks like his talent is not weak. It's worth nurturing."
Looking at Ruo Lin's departing figure, he muttered to himself.
Xiao Yan entered the house and called Ruo Lin and Zi Yan to the living room. He told them that he was going to refine medicine tonight so there was no need to wait for him. After giving his instructions, Xiao Yan entered his own refining room and muttered to himself,"Looks like I'm going to be tired again tonight. My life is really tough.”
Xiao Yan took out the medicinal cauldron after he finished speaking and started the fire in a practiced manner. Looking at the Xie Flame churning within the medicinal cauldron, Xiao Yan's heart became somewhat excited. This was the first time Xiao Yan was using Xie Flame to refine medicine. After seeing that the temperature in the cauldron had already reached the standard he wanted, he smoothly threw the medicinal herbs into the medicinal cauldron, and the medicinal herbs were quickly refined.
This was the first time Xiao Yan had used another flame to refine medicine, so he felt uncertain. He even called Yao Lao out and asked him to give Xiao Yan some pointers. Just like that, under Yao Lao's guidance, Xiao Yan very quickly grasped the trick to using Xie Yan to refine medicine. The speed of refining medicine and the success rate of pills had greatly increased. It was much faster than before.
"No wonder so many alchemists want a 'Heavenly Flame'. It turns out that there are so many benefits. In the past, he only knew that the Strange Fire was good, but he did not know what was good about it.”
Xiao Yan quietly thought in his heart.
Just like that, Xiao Yan had spent most of the night in the pill refining room and had exhausted a lot of his energy. Although the tier of the medicinal pill was not high, the quantity was large.
