Chen Yang's aura as he broke through to the 9-Star Dou Huang realm was naturally undeniable, even with the presence of two powerful figures, Yao Lao and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, in the courtyard.
Seeing that his momentum was unstoppable, Yao Lao entered Xiao Yan's body and temporarily took control of his body to prevent any unforeseen events from happening later.
As Chen Yang's powerful breakthrough aura spread out, a figure dressed in a magnificent purple robe spread out wings of Dou Qi and flew over, landing outside the courtyard. (The protagonist's own breakthrough aura will leak out, but the World Tree-enhanced aura will not.)
"Where is this… Oh… Is that you?" Lin Fei's father, Lin Li, was about to ask when he saw Little Fairy Doctor standing in the courtyard.
Although Little Fairy Doctor had changed into a green dress, Lin Li still remembered the charm of Chen Yang and Little Fairy Doctor from that day.
"Lord City Lord, please wait a moment. My husband is consolidating his cultivation. Please take a seat in the courtyard!"
Little Fairy Doctor gracefully led Lin Li to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard and poured him another pot of tea.
Lin Li was naturally terrified, but when he saw the mess in the courtyard, he was puzzled. Had a battle taken place in the courtyard just now?
However, judging from the strength of the remaining Dou Qi, it should only be at the level of High-Level Great Dou Master to Dou Ling.
Knowing that the person who had broken through in the room was the same Dou Huang powerhouse he had met a few days ago, Lin Li obediently sat on the stone bench and drank tea. He was even more shocked when he discovered that a young man in a black alchemist's robe had appeared opposite him.
'He's already a Grade 3 Alchemist at such a young age, while my daughter just passed the Grade 1 Alchemist exam yesterday.'
'Are all of these people top geniuses from some major sect?'
"Young brother, I am Lin Li, the City Lord of Black Rock City. May I ask your name?" Lin Li didn't dare to talk to Little Fairy Doctor. Sitting quietly was really boring, so he went to find Xiao Yan.
"You're too kind, City Lord. My name is Xiao Yan!" Xiao Yan replied, bowing to Lin Li.
"Hehehe… Brother Xiao Yan, there's no need to be so polite. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Big Brother." Lin Li was so cunning. He clearly saw that Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor had a good relationship, so he was trying to curry favor with the Dou Huang powerhouse.
"I am humbled." Xiao Yan smiled slightly and politely declined. He did not believe that a Grade 3 Alchemist could befriend a Dou Wang expert on equal terms. It was obvious that the other party wanted to befriend Brother Yang.
Lin Li smiled when he heard this, but in his heart he was cursing. 'This kid looks young, but he's incredibly adept at social skills.'
"Hehe… I have a daughter who is the same age as Brother Xiao Yan. She just passed the Grade 1 Alchemist exam yesterday and is in the Alchemist Guild in our Black Rock City. I wonder if you know her?" Lin Li continued to negotiate.
"You just passed the First Grade assessment yesterday?" Xiao Yan looked at Lin Li with a strange expression. If they both have the surname Lin, then the City Lord's daughter, could it be the charming Lin Fei?
"Your Excellency is referring to Lin Fei, right? We met yesterday and even had dinner with Master Frank and the others…" Although Xiao Yan didn't want to befriend Lin Li through Chen Yang's connections, it wouldn't hurt to have another Dou Wang level expert as a friend.
So he started chatting with Lin Li…
Time passed quickly, and the sun soon climbed directly overhead to Black Rock City. The three people and two beasts in the courtyard were all powerful Great Dou Masters, so they were naturally not afraid of the scorching sun.
Just as Little Fairy Doctor poured Lin Li another cup of tea, a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly wafted into the room, and Lin Li immediately stood up.
"This… this fragrance is…"
A fervent glint flashed in Lin Li's eyes.
Xiao Yan instantly became alert, communicating with Yao Lao to possess him, and placed his hand on the Xuan Heavy Ruler leaning against the stone table.
Little Fairy Doctor secretly gathered poisonous Dou Qi. If Lin Li dared to make even the slightest unnecessary movement, the deadly poison of the Woeful Poison Body would immediately explode in the tea that Lin Li was drinking.
The two Magical Beasts that had been dozing under the eaves silently stood up. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's size quietly increased, and its lion eyes stared intently at Lin Li.
In an instant, Lin Li felt as if he were being watched by some great terror, his whole body turned cold and his back broke out in a sweat.
"Lord City Lord!"
"My Brother Yang is refining a Grade 5 Pill. Does the City Lord intend to… take advantage of his misfortune?"
Xiao Yan looked at Lin Li with a cold expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Li's scalp tingled instantly, and he quickly waved his hands. "Brother Xiao Yan, what are you saying? I… I was just attracted by the fragrance of the medicine, I had absolutely no such thoughts!"
Lin Li had no such thoughts; standing up was merely a subconscious physical reaction. He never expected to feel the threat of death emanating from these two young people, who were even younger than his daughter.
"That's good!"
Xiao Yan chuckled, but did not remove his hand from the Xuan Heavy Ruler. Little Fairy Doctor smiled and poured Lin Li another cup of tea, but this time, she added more ingredients to the tea.
Lin Li nervously finished the bowl of tea, just as the door opened.
"Haha, thank you for waiting, Lord City Lord!"
Hearing Chen Yang's hearty laughter, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his extreme tension, he had overlooked the fact that there was also an Amethyst Winged Lion King in the courtyard, who was comparable to a 5-Star Dou Huang.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Lin Li congratulates Master on your advanced cultivation and the successful refinement of a superior-grade elixir!" Lin Li waved his hand, stood up, and bowed to Chen Yang.
"I'm sorry to have caused trouble for the City Lord." Chen Yang chuckled, walked to the stone table and sat down, then handed the two jade bottles to Xiao Yan.
Lin Li didn't dare to look at it at all.
Xiao Yan took the jade bottle, glanced at Lin Li, and then opened each one to take a look…
"Brother Yang, there are actually ten pills in this bottle???"
"You… you refined ten portions of medicinal herbs at the same time???"
Xiao Yan was shocked. He was a Grade 3 Alchemist and could only refine the ingredients for two First-Grade pills at the same time. He never expected that Chen Yang, a Grade 5 Alchemist, could refine ten Grade 5 pills at the same time.
"Twenty portions!" Chen Yang pointed to another jade bottle, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly opened another jade bottle to check, and indeed found ten more pills inside, which were the Yin-Yang Creation Pills.
'It seems I misjudged him. This kid has probably inherited the legacy of a Grade 9 Alchemist. Refining two pills in one cauldron, tsk tsk. Even at my peak, I needed the Black Demon Cauldron to do that. This kid can do it at the Fifth Grade. Inheritance is one thing, but talent is another!'
The old man's sigh echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.
"Brother Yang is still awesome!" Xiao Yan muttered to himself, then put away the two kinds of pills.
These two bottles of pills were enough for him to cultivate for a month.
Seeing this, Lin Li wanted to ask Chen Yang to refine pills, but he didn't know how to bring it up. Just as he was hesitating, Chen Yang took the initiative to speak to him.
"I have been bothering Black Rock City lately. If the City Lord has any pills of Grade 5 or below that need to be refined, please follow the rules for alchemists."
"However, I only have a few days left in Black Rock City, so I can probably only refine one batch of pills for the City Lord."
Chen Yang looked at Lin Li's hesitant expression and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Although Lin Li was the City Lord of Black Rock City, there were only two alchemists of the Fifth Grade or above in the Jia Ma Empire. Fa Ma was a Dou Huang powerhouse, and Gu He was backed by the Yun Lan Sect. If he wants to ask these two to refine pills, the conditions he has to pay may be more than ten times higher.
"If you ever need my assistance in the future, Master, just send someone to deliver a message, and I, Lin Li, will travel thousands of miles to come to your aid," Lin Li promised.
Chen Yang nodded; this was the charm of an alchemist.
Of course, the strong still reign supreme on the Dou Qi Continent. When you become a Dou Di, even a Grade 9 Alchemist will have to respect you.
After Lin Li took his leave, Yao Lao floated out and congratulated him. Xiao Yan also looked happy and did not forget to talk about Lin Li's performance just now.
"You two are just worrying unnecessarily. What's that lying under the eaves? You really think it's a cat or a dog…?"
Chen Yang pointed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and said to the two of them.
"Hehe… I was just worried about you, Brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan chuckled.
Chen Yang shook his head and put his arm around Little Fairy Doctor's waist. "Your poisoning technique is not bad, but you can't be so reckless next time. The other party is a Dou Wang level expert. It's only because he was afraid of me that he didn't check carefully. If he had been discovered, I would have had no choice but to kill him to silence him!"
Hearing Chen Yang's slightly reproachful words, Little Fairy Doctor felt a warmth in her heart. "Husband, don't worry, I won't do it again next time."
"Go ask the kitchen to send some food over, I'm craving something…" Chen Yang smiled, reached out and pinched her cheek, and instructed her.
"Sigh!" Little Fairy Doctor nodded and left…
