Xiao Yan's expression was indifferent as he left the hall. The somewhat absent-minded Xiao Yan followed his usual habits and slowly climbed up the back mountain of the clan. He sat on the mountain wall and calmly watched the steep mountain range that was covered in fog. That place was the famous Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire.
"Hehe, strength…In this world, without strength, you are not even comparable to a pile of dog shit. At least, no one dares to step on dog shit!”His shoulders shook slightly as the young man's low self-mocking voice, which was filled with grief and indignation, slowly echoed on the mountain peak.
Xiao Yan's ten fingers were inserted into his black hair. His teeth tightly bit his lips, allowing the faint bloody smell to spread from the corner of his mouth. Although he did not display any inappropriate emotions in the hall, Nalan Yanran's words were just like a knife cutting into his heart, causing Xiao Yan's entire body to tremble…
"I don't want to suffer today's humiliation a second time!”Xiao Yan's voice was hoarse but firm as he spread his left hand that had a bloody scar.
"Hehe, little kid, looks like you need help?”
An old strange laughter was suddenly transmitted into Xiao Yan's ears just as he was about to engrave the oath in his heart.
Xiao Yan's small face changed. He suddenly turned around and swept his eagle-like sharp gaze behind him. However, he did not see a single human figure…
"Hehe, stop looking. It's on your finger.”
Just as Xiao Yan thought that it was just an illusion, that strange laughter was once again emitted without any end.
Xiao Yan's pupils shrunk. His gaze suddenly paused on the black ancient ring on his right hand.
"Are you talking?" Xiao Yan forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and tried his best to calm his voice.
"The little kid's willpower is not bad. He actually didn't jump down in fear.”A mocking laugh rang out from the ring.
"Who are you? Why is it in my ring? What do you want?"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan clearly asked the key question.
"You don't have to worry about who I am. In any case, I won't harm you. Sigh, after so many years, I've finally met someone with a strong soul. How lucky. Hehe, but I still have to thank the little doll for her three years of worship. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to continue sleeping.”
"Offered?" Xiao Yan blinked his eyes doubtfully. A moment later, that small face of his suddenly became dark and solemn. A thick and cold word jumped out from between his teeth with great difficulty,"The Dou Zhi Qi that disappeared from my body, was it your doing?”
"Hehe, I was forced to do so. Don't blame me, little kid.”
"F * ck your mother!"
Xiao Yan, who had always boasted of being calm and steady, suddenly jumped up like a madman at this moment. His small face was filled with savagery. He did not care that this was a relic left behind by his mother. Without hesitation, he immediately pulled off the ring on his finger. After which, he used all his strength to throw it down the steep cliff…
The ring had just left his hand when Xiao Yan's heart suddenly became clear. He hurriedly extended his hand to grab it, but the ring that had left his hand had already fallen off the cliff…
Staring blankly at the ring that had disappeared into the fog, Xiao Yan was stunned for a good moment before his small face slowly calmed down. He patted his forehead in annoyance,"Idiot, too reckless, too reckless!”
He had just learned that the main reason he had been humiliated for the past three years was actually the ring that he had been wearing. It was no wonder that Xiao Yan had lost control to such an extent.
Xiao Yan sat at the edge of the cliff for quite a while before helplessly shaking his head. He climbed up and turned around. His eyes suddenly widened as his trembling finger pointed at the thing in front of him…
In front of Xiao Yan was a dark-black, ancient-looking ring. What shocked Xiao Yan the most was that there was a transparent old human figure floating in the air above the ring…
"Hehe, little kid, there's no need to be so angry, right? I just absorbed your Dou Qi for three years.”The transparent old man smiled as he stared at the stunned Xiao Yan and spoke.
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. His voice contained suppressed anger,"Old man, since you are hiding in the storage ring, you should know how much ridicule you have given me because you absorbed my Dou Qi, right?”
"But in these three years of taunting, you've grown, haven't you? Do you think that if it was three years ago, you would have the same patience and wisdom as you do now?”The old man smiled and said indifferently.
Xiao Yan frowned and his mood gradually calmed down. After his anger subsided, joy followed. Since he knew the mystery of the disappearance of Dou Zhi Qi, his talent must have returned!
As soon as Xiao Yan thought of the fact that he finally had the chance to shed the title of trash, his body seemed to have been reborn at this moment. That hateful old man in front of him did not seem to be too annoying.
Some things only knew how precious they were when they were lost! Recovering something that was lost would make one cherish it even more!
Gently stretching his wrist, Xiao Yan let out a long breath. He raised his head and said,"I don't know who you are, but I want to ask you, do you still want to stay in the ring and absorb my Dou Qi? If that's the case, I advise you to find another host. I can't afford to raise you.”
"Hehe, others don't have such a powerful spiritual perception like you.”The old man stroked his beard and smiled."Since I chose to show myself, I will not absorb your Dou Zhi Qi without your permission.”
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and coldly laughed without saying anything. He had already made up his mind that he would not allow this old thing to follow by his side no matter how sweet his words were.
"Little doll, do you want to become stronger? Do you want to be respected by others?" Although Xiao Yan's heart had already classified the old man as someone that he should not provoke, his heart still involuntarily jumped when he heard these words.
"Now that I know the reason why my Dou Zhi Qi disappeared, do I need you to become stronger with my talent?”Xiao Yan slowly inhaled a breath of air as he spoke in a faint voice. He knew in his heart that there was no free lunch in this world. It was not a wise decision to accept the kindness of a mysterious person for no reason.
"Little kid, you have great talent, but you have to know that you are already 15 years old, and your Dou Qi is only at 3 Duan Qi. I think I heard that you will have your Coming of Age Ceremony next year, right? Do you think that you can reach 7 Duan Qi in just one year just by cultivating diligently? Moreover, you made a bet with that girl for three years. That girl's talent isn't much lower than yours. It won't be so easy for you to catch up to her and surpass her.”The old man's wrinkled face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"If you hadn't absorbed my Dou Qi, would I have been humiliated by her like this? You old bastard!" Xiao Yan's small face once again became gloomy after being poked by the old man. He was so angry that he clenched his teeth and began to curse.
After a series of curses, Xiao Yan became dispirited again. At this point, no matter how much he scolded, it would not help. The foundation of Dou Qi training was especially important. Back then, when he was four years old, he had trained for six whole years before he had 9 Duan Qi. Even though his talent had recovered, it was basically impossible for him to train to 7 Duan Qi in a year…
Sighing dejectedly, Xiao Yan's eyes glanced at the transparent old man who was pretending to be unfathomable. His heart moved as he curled his mouth and said,"Do you have a way?"
"Perhaps." The old man let out a strange laugh.
"If you help me reach 7 Duan Qi in a year, then I'll forget about the matter of you absorbing 3 Duan Qi from me.”Xiao Yan probed.
"Hehe, little kid, you're quite scheming.”
"If you're not of any help to me, why would I bring a burden with me? "I think you should find another unlucky person to bend over…" Xiao Yan sneered. After chatting for a while, he could tell that this transparent old man could not casually absorb the Dou Zhi Qi of others.
"You don't look like a fifteen-year-old youth at all. It seems that you have grown a lot in these three years.”The old man was startled as he looked at the slippery Xiao Yan. He immediately shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Yan spread his hands and said faintly,"If you want me to continue worshipping you, you have to show some sincerity, right?”
"What a sharp-tongued little kid. Good, good. Who asked this old man to beg you, little guy?”The old man helplessly nodded his head. His body descended to the ground. His gaze sized Xiao Yan up a couple of times. A strange smile of having succeeded in his evil scheme surfaced on his face before it immediately disappeared. He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth in an extremely unwilling manner,"Do you want to become an alchemist?"
