"Don't worry, Uncle. I will make up for the humiliation the Xiao family suffered in the past three years."
Xiao Yan nodded seriously.
This is not only a matter of personal reputation, but also a matter of reputation for the Xiao family.
"Uncle believes in you. Go ahead and cultivate diligently. If you need resources, just ask me. Don't be shy. The prosperity of the Xiao family is the result of the efforts of every generation."
With you, the chosen ones, leading the Xiao family in the future, I believe our family can rise to become a top-tier clan.
Xiao Zhan smiled.
Xiao Yan silently made a mental note of it, then bid farewell to Xiao Zhan and returned to his room.
"There are many more resources than before..."
Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised to see cultivation resources being offered.
What he didn't know was that Chu Ge had just invested 20 million in resources, and Xiao Zhan had plenty more in his pocket.
"Your uncle is quite something..."
A soul suddenly appeared.
"Of course I know that. Uncle Xiao broke through from the Core Formation stage to the Nascent Soul stage in six years. He must have had his own opportunities. That's not something I should be concerned about."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"Oh? Is that so? I meant these resources are extraordinary; these things are rare even outside of China..."
The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled.
"I don't care about anything else, right now I just want to improve my strength, and... are you really a ninth-grade alchemist?"
Xiao Yan asked.
"Of course, would your master lie to you? Your master is not only a ninth-grade alchemist, but also a Mahayana stage expert."
"Old Yao said proudly."
"So how did you perish?"
"What do you mean, 'Master'? You have no manners!"
The old man slapped Xiao Yan on the back of the head in a huff.
"Hiss... Master, how did you perish..."
"It's a long story, so I won't go into it."
The old doctor had an expression of reminiscing about the past.
"..."
"Can't you just make it short?" Xiao Yan thought to himself, pursing his lips inwardly.
"You brat, what's with that expression? You're incredibly lucky to have me teaching you. Achieving great enlightenment in the future is no problem."
The old doctor struck Xiao Yan with another palm strike.
"If you hadn't absorbed my cultivation, I could have broken through to the Mahayana stage on my own."
Xiao Yan retorted stubbornly.
"Ahem... This is different. Although I let you waste three years, with my guidance, you will cultivate faster in the future and can also learn alchemy, which is a very profitable industry."
Knowing he was in the wrong, the old doctor changed the subject. Of course, he could see that Xiao Yan had excellent aptitude, otherwise he wouldn't have taken him as his disciple.
Xiao Yan didn't take it to heart. What's done is done, there's no point in dwelling on it. Besides, this guy who called himself Old Medicine was indeed quite capable.
If the other person is genuinely good to me, then I will definitely repay them in the future and bring them back to life.
But if he's only using you, then don't blame him for going all out...
Therefore, all of this requires time to settle, and Xiao Yan has not yet fully trusted Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan thought so, and so did Yao Lao...
......
"Sigh, I heard from the senior that there should be many chosen ones, but so many years have passed and I haven't met another one. Could it be that I've run out of luck?"
Xiao Zhan was somewhat worried.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking about?"
Seemingly sensing Xiao Zhan's confusion, Xiao Haotian asked.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking that Hao'er should start cultivating seriously too."
Xiao Zhan snapped out of his daze.
Xiao Hao is almost seven years old, and his physical development is almost complete. This age is the best time for him to start cultivating.
"Really, Grandpa!"
Xiao Hao was very happy.
"Of course it's true. Come, I'll start teaching you cultivation from today. You've learned all the theoretical knowledge over the years, so let's begin. I'll assist you from the side."
Xiao Zhan nodded.
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Xiao Hao immediately sat down cross-legged.
He used the technique he had mastered to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world.
A massive vortex of spiritual energy gathered above his head.
An inexplicable aura emanated from Xiao Hao.
Even Xiao Zhan, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, was terrified.
"Holy crap! It's actually the Supreme Bone!"
No wonder... no wonder...
I knew it! Hao'er's luck was terrifying. If he possesses the Supreme Bone, then everything makes sense.
Haha, my Xiao family will have the protection of a supreme being in the future!
The old doctor on the other side seemed to sense something.
"Your Xiao family is truly full of hidden talents."
Xiao Yan also looked in Xiao Hao's direction: "It should be Xiao Hao. His talent is much stronger than mine. He has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage before he has even started cultivating. His future is limitless."
"But I won't lose. I will live my life to the fullest, and I will definitely have a place at the top of this world!"
The old doctor nodded in approval, somewhat pleased. He had thought his disciple would be discouraged by his pride, but instead, his fighting spirit was ignited.
"I will also lend you a hand."
......
Time flies, and two years have passed.
The Xiao family's growth was at its zenith.
With the Supreme Bone, Xiao Hao advanced from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage in just two years of cultivation.
This incredible rate of advancement left Xiao Zhan speechless with admiration.
It truly lives up to its reputation as an invincible supreme bone.
"Yan'er, you said you'd let your uncle expand into the pill business?"
Xiao Zhan was slightly surprised.
"That's right, Uncle. The growth of the family requires constantly expanding into different businesses to generate profits, and the elixir business is a lucrative one."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"Although our Xiao family does sell low-level pills such as Blood-Replenishing Pills and Qi-Boosting Powder in this small place, we source these from other places and resell them. The profit margin is very low, and we only earn a meager living."
Xiao Zhan pondered, looking at Xiao Yan with some anticipation.
He naturally knew that Xiao Yan wouldn't say that without reason, so the other party had most likely become an alchemist.
Is this the chosen one? I envy such good fortune.
“Uncle, I am now a third-grade alchemist, so I want to help the family expand this business.”
Xiao Yan volunteered himself.
"Oh? Yan'er, you've actually become a third-grade alchemist!"
Xiao Zhan feigned surprise.
"Yes, although I didn't go to the Alchemy Association for the assessment, please trust your nephew, Uncle."
"Alright! Then I'll leave this to you. Even if you mess it up and lose money, it's okay. Just consider it practice for you, Yan'er. Growth always requires effort."
Xiao Zhan agreed.
As for losing money? How could the chosen one of destiny lose money! This project is bound to succeed!
Xiao Yan was also surprised by Xiao Zhan's decisiveness; he was prepared to spend more time explaining.
"Please rest assured, Uncle, I will make this business a success."
Xiao Yan was very confident. He was not a third-grade alchemist, but a fourth-grade one. Concealing one's abilities was a necessary tactic for every prodigy.
Xiao Zhan: Your uncle is of one heart with you, and you're trying to outsmart your uncle?
And so, Xiao Yan began to establish the pill business for the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhan also strongly supported sending Xiao Yan a large amount of medicinal herbs to practice with.
Anyway, I have so many medicinal herbs in my pocket that I can't use them all, I simply can't use them all.
With a large supply of medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan continued to refine medicine without stopping.
Alchemy can not only rapidly improve one's alchemy skills, but can also be used as a form of cultivation to increase one's cultivation level.
With about a year left before the three-year deadline, Xiao Yan planned to practice pill refining for half a year and take some medicine, and then go out to gain practical experience in the last half year.
