Chapter 125 Nalan Yanran was jealous, but it was of no use

"I didn't expect that the breakthrough of the soul would also lead to a breakthrough in their fighting spirit realm." Yao Lao looked at the two disciples with a little surprise, and then he suddenly realized, "That's right, when my soul power touched the spiritual realm, my fighting spirit realm was much higher than these two little guys, and the breakthrough in fighting spirit brought about was already negligible."

The advancement of the two was extremely smooth. After a while, they completed the breakthrough and opened their eyes one after another.

"Teacher, I feel like I'm getting better at using my soul perception!"

Xiao Yan said with some excitement.

Now, he is confident that he can increase the success rate of third-grade elixirs by 10%, so he would even dare to give it a try with fourth-grade elixirs!

You know, Xiao Yan's original success rate in refining third-grade pills had already reached nearly 90%. Now, if he adds another 10%, it will almost be a 100% success rate. Even some fourth-grade alchemists cannot reach this level.

As for Xiao Yuan, he had never practiced alchemy, so he could only use the art of controlling fire as a reference.

He immediately summoned the Yin and Yang flames, and with a thought, he separated them into two separate flames. Then the two flames transformed into two fire fish, one black and one white, as they surged and rose, and they swirled vividly in Xiao Yuan's palm.

"Not bad fire control ability. Even if Xiao Yan has practiced alchemy, his fire control ability is still inferior to yours."

Seeing this, Yao Lao nodded in appreciation. In his perception, Xiao Yuan's soul perception was actually stronger than Xiao Yan's, but under normal circumstances, this could not be directly converted into fire control ability.

The ability to control fire needs to be improved through practice.

Obviously, in order to control the strange fire, Xiao Yuan has put a lot of effort into improving his fire control ability.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded with a wry smile, but he knew in his heart that his ability to control the Yin and Yang flames had indeed improved, but it was not simply because of the increase in soul power.

And last night's yin and yang harmony.
After personally experiencing the wonderful feeling of the union of Yin and Yang, and the fusion of soul and flesh, Xiao Yuan indeed gained an indescribable understanding of the Yin and Yang dual flames.

As for the idea that Yao Lao had put a lot of effort into his fire control ability, in fact, his greatest effort was just practicing the fire-attributed fighting skill, Li Huo Fen.

There's really nothing else.

"I was a bit careless this time. Next time I find herbs that can restore my soul power, I will still need to find a remote place to restore it. Although I consciously controlled my own power this time, I still released some soul fluctuations. If I restore it next time, I am afraid that the soul fluctuations will spread to an area the size of ten imperial capitals, which will attract too much attention."

Yao Lao suddenly changed the subject, shook his head and said with a little helplessness.

After his soul power recovered to the level of the spiritual realm, he could already absorb spiritual energy from the void to recover. Although the efficiency was much slower than when he had a physical body, if the opportunity arose, when his soul power was completely restored, he might be able to take the opportunity to break through to the soul realm and fighting spirit realm to another level!
By then, he would be able to refine even the ninth-grade elixir!

"Teacher, your spiritual power is already very vast at the moment. I can't imagine what it will be like when you recover to your peak in the future."

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this.

Only by experiencing it personally can you know how terrifying Yao Lao's spiritual power is.

“Haha, if you can really recover your peak strength, you two little guys will be able to walk sideways in this continent, not to mention the Gama Empire!”

Yao Lao was obviously in a very good mood and said with a big laugh.

"Hehe, it seems that the teacher is indeed a strong man standing at the top of the continent. It is really a great opportunity for Xiaoyan and I to be your disciple!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded and sighed.

"Yes, teacher, with your strength, I'm afraid few people can be your opponent. Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded in agreement, and then hesitantly raised the doubts in his mind about reminiscing about the past.

After these words came out, Yao Lao's expression became much gloomier, but he quickly adjusted himself and said softly: "Although you two brothers are quite powerful, if you want to know about me, you must at least become Dou Huang strongmen. Otherwise, even if you know, it will be of no benefit to you!"

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other and said in unison: "Teacher, don't worry, we will practice hard!"

"Well, someone's here to visit. I'm going to return the ring first. You guys should get busy now."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao nodded with satisfaction, then turned into a ray of light and flew into the ring.

"Brother, I still have to take part in the internal test of the Alchemist Guild, so I'll go first!"

Only Ya Fei, Hai Bodong and Xiao Yuan knew that Xiao Yan had entered the Xiao Mansion, so the person who visited him naturally would not be looking for him, so he just went out with peace of mind at this moment.

"Well, let's show the geniuses of the imperial capital how dazzling the geniuses of our Wutan City Xiao family are!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. Then the two brothers walked out of the house, one went to the front door and the other went to the back door.

"Master Xiao Yuan, Miss Ya Fei is receiving guests in the reception room. She asked you to go there after you finish your training."

The maid who came out from the corridor bowed slightly and then spoke to Xiao Yuan.

"Okay, lead the way."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said calmly.

The house was huge, and had been renovated recently, so Xiao Yuan couldn't tell exactly where was what. On the contrary, Xiao Yan, who had returned early yesterday, had a rough idea of ​​the overall structure of the house and knew that going out the back door would be closer to the Alchemist Guild.

Hearing this, the maid nodded obediently, walked to the front and led the way.

In the reception room.

Nalan Yanran looked at Yafei, who was sitting in the main seat, looking like the hostess, and felt extremely surprised.

And it feels a bit sour for some reason.

He couldn't help but think: This Xiao Yuan, no wonder he was so anxious to cancel the engagement, it turns out he was anxious to welcome Concubine Ya back to the mansion with a legitimate reason!

How am I not as good as her?
"I wonder what Sister Nalan wants to talk to Xiao Yuan about? He is practicing at the moment. I think Sister Nalan knows that cultivation cannot be disturbed by outsiders unless you take the initiative to come out of seclusion. If you have anything, just tell me!"

Ya Fei had an impeccable smile on her face and spoke in a soft voice.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't tell whether Ya Fei was making an excuse or telling the truth, so she could only say, "It's okay, I can wait here for him to finish his training. This time, thanks to Master Xiao, my grandfather was freed from the branding poison, so this matter must be notified.

Our Nalan family will hold a banquet tonight, and Sister Yafei is also invited. She can attend with Master Xiao."

As Nalan Yanran spoke, she took out two invitations from her ring and handed them to the maid beside her, who then presented them to Concubine Ya.

"Haha, this is indeed a good thing." Ya Fei nodded when she heard it, took the invitation and looked at it, then continued, "Since it is Sister Nalan who came to invite me personally, I will naturally go, but..." Halfway through her words, Ya Fei immediately noticed the figure in white entering her sight, and she put the invitation on the table, stood up, and walked over swayingly.

"Is the training over?"

She smiled and took Xiao Yuan's arm and asked.

"Well, I heard there are guests?" Xiao Yuan nodded and asked casually, then let Ya Fei hold his arm and walk into the reception room. Then he saw Nalan Yanran with a slightly complicated expression.

"Ms. Nalan? It's you!"

Xiao Yuan asked with surprise on his face.

"Mr. Xiao did a good job of keeping it a secret from Yanran. If it weren't for the visit today, Yanran probably wouldn't have known that the person Mr. Xiao was talking about was actually Sister Yafei."

Nalan Yanran said quietly after hearing this.

"Haha, at that time, I hadn't confirmed my relationship with Sister Yafei yet, so it would be inappropriate to tell others about it. Now that Yafei is the mistress of this mansion, it's naturally okay."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, as if he didn't understand Nalan Yanran's intention.

But he felt a little strange in his heart. Did Nalan Yanran figure it out overnight? His relationship with her didn't seem to be that close, right?

Then, seeing that there was only one stool for the main seat, Xiao Yuan pulled a chair over, sat down on it, and then motioned Yafei to sit back in the main seat.

Ya Fei was also stunned when she saw this. Since Xiao Yuan was here, he should naturally sit in the main seat. She didn't expect Xiao Yuan to do this.

Seeing this scene, Nalan Yanran felt a little irritated for some reason.

"Oh? This invitation?"

After seeing the invitation on the table out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"This is the invitation from Sister Nalan. Didn't you cure old man Nalan yesterday? To celebrate this, the Nalan Mansion has set up a banquet. As the person who cured the old man, you must go!"

Hearing this, Ya Fei smiled and said without waiting for Nalan Yanran to speak.

"Oh, Sister Yafei, are you going? Together?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, then saw another invitation and asked knowingly.

"Of course I'm going to go. Sister Nalan has come to invite me personally."

Ya Fei smiled softly and said.

"Yes!" Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard that, and then looked at Nalan Yanran beside him with a polite smile, "In that case, Xiao will definitely attend the banquet on time. I wonder if Miss Nalan has anything else to do?"

"Uh, I..." Nalan Yanran heard the intention of Xiao Yuan to drive her away, and her expression changed uncontrollably, but she was too embarrassed to say anything else, and gritted her teeth and said, "Then Yanran will take her leave."

"Haha, I'll take you there."

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard that, and immediately made a "please" gesture. He then led the way, leading Nalan Yanran out of the Xiao Mansion.

After seeing Nalan Yanran off, Xiao Yuan turned around and walked into the mansion. He returned to the reception room with a faint smile on his face and said, "I thought Sister Yafei had gone to the auction house to work, but I didn't expect that she would stay and be the hostess."

Hearing this, Ya Fei also smiled and asked in a tender voice, "Why? Is Xiao Yuan going to blame me for this?"

After saying that, he actually put on a pitiful expression, which made people couldn't help laughing.

So, Xiao Yuan stepped forward and hugged Ya Fei's waist, pulling her into his arms, leaning down, and chuckled beside her delicate earlobe:

"Sister Yafei is full of charm. It's hard to control herself when she acts like this. But if she works hard during the day, I'm afraid she'll need someone to help her walk at night. It's better to restrain herself. My self-control is useless to my own people."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan slapped Yafei on her moon-like buttocks. This sudden attack made Yafei tremble.

"I never realized before that Brother Xiao Yuan is such a lustful person."

Ya Fei blushed and said coquettishly.

"Food and sex are human nature. If I don't lust after Sister Yafei, will Sister Yafei be relieved?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked at Ya Fei with a mischievous look and asked.

Hearing this, Ya Fei actually felt that what Xiao Yuan said made sense. She shook her head helplessly and then sighed:

"I can't win over your clever mouth. Anyway, you last night..." At this point, Ya Fei's face showed an attractive blush, paused, and continued, "You put me in such a shameful posture. I've let you hold me in your hands for the rest of my life. Don't let me down."

Looking at Ya Fei, who was blushing but extremely serious, Xiao Yuan restrained his smile and said solemnly:
"Sister Yafei, Xiao Yuan never speaks empty words to his own people, so he will never let Sister Yafei down. I think my father is very satisfied with a daughter-in-law like you. I have already said that after the engagement with the Nalan family is cancelled, I will propose to the Mitel family. After a few days, when my father arrives in the imperial capital, I will ask him to discuss this matter with the Great Elder and Hai Lao."

Hearing this, Ya Fei showed a bright smile on her face, and a mist appeared in her eyes.

Growing up in the family, she was used to seeing many clansmen having to make some business marriages and marrying people they didn't like. She had already made plans for the worst, but she accidentally went to Wutan City and met the handsome young man in white. From then on, she gradually broke away from her originally predetermined fate and got her ideal husband. Thinking about it now, it seems like a dream.

"Okay, we still have to attend a banquet tonight. It seems that the Nalan family should have invited Great Elder Tengshan. After all, Sister Yafei is still a member of the Mitel family. If she really attends with me tonight, some people in the Mitel family will inevitably have different opinions about it. I cannot disrespect the Mitel family and make it difficult for Great Elder Tengshan. So Sister Yafei will have to work harder. Let's go back to the Mitel family for now. See you in the evening."

After a moment, Xiao Yuan patted Ya Fei's shoulders and spoke softly.

"Are you worried that some old guys in the Mittel family will use this to cause trouble and prevent me from taking control of the family?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei immediately understood what Xiao Yuan meant and asked.

"Yes, with the previous experience of Leo, I think we should be more cautious. Killing one elder is nothing for Hai Lao, but if we are dealing with a group of elders, we must not be so ruthless. I think they must have made great contributions to the Miter family and were promoted to the position of elders. Some things should be considered in the long run."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Well, I'll go back first. See you in the evening!"

Hearing this, Ya Fei also became more serious, crawled out of Xiao Yuan's arms, and said.

"Okay, see you tonight."
