.
Yao Chen stroked his beard, a faint smile playing across his face. "Since I want you to help me, I naturally have to give you something that will be of use to you."
While he couldn't become a true master and apprentice with Xiao Ling, being able to teach such a genius was a way to pass on his alchemy skills.
"By the way, regarding your cousin, I still feel a little sorry for him. Consider these items as compensation for wasting over two years of his cultivation by dissipating his cultivation. And don't be so distant; just call me Yao Lao from now on." Thinking of Xiao Yan, Yao Chen sighed softly and pointed at the Bone Flame Ring. Several scrolls floated in front of Xiao Ling.
"These are some martial arts techniques suitable for him. Please give them to him in your name. If you're interested, you can take a look at them first." Pointing at the scrolls, Yao Chen smiled at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling nodded at Yao Chen and briefly examined the scrolls Yao Chen had produced.
The Earth-level intermediate technique "Red Fire Blazing Art," the Earth-level low-level fighting technique "Flame Devouring Wave Ruler," the Profound-level high-level fighting technique "Eight Extreme Collapse"...
Yao Chen's possessions were quite impressive, but of little use to Xiao Ling. While Xiao Ling's fighting techniques weren't many, they were more than enough for him to use in battle.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Ling stored the scrolls in his storage ring. "Then I won't bother Elder Yao anymore. Farewell."
After saying goodbye, Xiao Ling departed.
Yao Chen watched Xiao Ling's departing form, his mind racing.
"Teacher, please come and teach me how to practice." Just then, Qing Lin's soft, sweet voice echoed from the room.
Hearing his disciple's call, Yao Chen's face lit up with a brilliant smile. He turned and floated into the room. "Later, I'll refine some Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid for you, allowing you to cultivate your Dou Qi even more rapidly..."
...
Arriving at the same training room as before, Xiao Ling pushed open the door and entered.
Within sight, Xiao Yan had woken up from his sleep and was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform in the center of the training room, practicing Dou Qi.
As if sensing the sound of approaching footsteps, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
Finding that it was his cousin, Xiao Yan's eyes were full of gratitude, and he clasped his fists towards Xiao Ling, "Thank you, cousin, for helping me solve this strange physique. From now on, I can finally practice Dou Qi like a normal person. I will remember this kindness in my heart. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I, Xiao Yan, will do my best."
Seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat excited look, he must have realized that he would no longer disappear inexplicably after practicing Dou Qi.
Waving his hands, Xiao Ling smiled faintly, "I have received your gratitude. I am your cousin. There is no need to be so distant."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, wondering what had gotten into him to harbor such hostility towards his cousin.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Xiao Yan cast a curious glance at Xiao Ling. "By the way, cousin, do you know where my ring is? It was left to me by my mother, and it holds special meaning for me."
Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yan's question. The ring in question was, of course, Yao Chen's Osteoarthritis Ring, which he had given to Qing Lin for safekeeping. Yao Chen had previously mentioned to Xiao Ling not to mention his affairs to Xiao Yan.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was just an ordinary ring. It's quite exquisite, and I gave it to my sister, the young woman in green you just met. If the ring is truly important to you, I'll take it back and give it to you," Xiao Ling replied calmly, his expression unchanged.
Although this answer was a bit outrageous, and it was really not right to take away someone's mother's heirloom; however, the ring originally belonged to Yao Chen, and it was natural and reasonable to give it to his disciple Qing Lin for safekeeping. Could it be that when Xiao Yan and Qing Lin meet in the future, he would have to ask Qing Lin to hide the Bone Flame Ring?
After hearing Xiao Ling's answer, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, and after a little thought, he shook his head, "Since your cousin has already given it to your sister, then let it be my gift to her. I just ask your cousin to tell her to take good care of the ring."
Xiao Ling nodded, "I will tell her about this."
Xiao Yan nodded, and did not mention anything about the ring anymore. He scratched his head and looked at Xiao Ling embarrassedly, "Cousin, do you still have those elixirs that can improve the cultivation of Dou Qi, like the one you gave me before. If possible, I would like to exchange some with you."
Hearing Xiao Yan asking about the elixir, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, casually took out a storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan, "This storage ring contains some elixirs that can improve the cultivation of Dou Qi, Huanglong Dan for internal use, and Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for medicinal bath. With the help of these two kinds of elixirs, with your physique that has reached the level of a fighter once, you should be able to cultivate to the level of a fighter again within two months."
"In addition to these elixirs, this storage ring also contains a volume of fire-attributed exercises and several fighting skills. When you are strong enough, you can learn these exercises and fighting skills."
After listening to Xiao Ling's narration, Xiao Yan's eyes became more and more fiery as he looked at the storage ring in front of him.
However, Xiao Yan didn't accept the ring. Suppressing his excitement, he shook his head at Xiao Ling. "My cousin has already been a tremendous help in restoring my cultivation talent. Accepting these resources for nothing would be unworthy of Xiao Yan."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow, a touch surprised. He hadn't expected Xiao Yan's mental maturity to be so high. For someone who had just regained his cultivation talent, these elixirs that could rapidly boost his cultivation must have been extremely appealing, allowing him to control his greed. It seemed that after two and a half years of "training," Xiao Yan had indeed grown considerably.
Xiao Ling presented the elixirs to Xiao Yan as a small token of compensation. Although Yao Chen had proactively approached Xiao Ling for a partnership, Xiao Ling's presence indirectly cost Xiao Yan the great opportunity of Yao Chen. Without becoming Yao Chen's apprentice, Xiao Yan's future achievements would undoubtedly have been far less than those in the original novel.
However, it now seems that Xiao Yan is still very worth cultivating. Although his cultivation talent is not particularly outstanding, and normal training should only allow him to cultivate to the Dou Zong realm, Xiao Yan is a time traveler after all. He has been sensitive since childhood, and his soul potential is his greatest advantage. With sufficient resources and training, he definitely has the potential to become an eighth-grade alchemist.
