Chapter 22 The Alchemist
…
"Bangdang..."
As the door opened, Xiao Yan looked inside in disbelief.
"Four...fourth brother?"
"Wuji?"
"Shh... Third brother, Xun'er, please keep your voice down, are you afraid that no one will notice?"
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at him: "Oh, you all know that you are cheating on your family at a young age, so you are still afraid of being beaten?"
"You know Hammer, I didn't expect to be away for so long.
It's not surprising that I haven't come back yet.
It is a small mistake to make my brothers and father worry."
"jump……"
The door was kicked open, and a figure rushed in angrily, twisting his ears at Xiao Wuji. It was Xiao Zhan.
"You son of a bitch——, if you even knew you were coming back, I thought you were dead."
Even though he said this, the worried look on Xiao Zhan's face was obviously relieved.
Since his wife's death, he has been the head of the family, prime minister of the entire Xiao family, father, and coach to take care of his four sons.
"Oh, father, please be gentle, the child knows that he is wrong.
I didn't expect it either. I thought I would be able to come back after being away for a few months.
But I didn't expect that an accident happened and I was trapped. I was trapped for three years and I just came out not long ago."
"Niezhang, luckily everything is fine. You know the danger. Let's see if you dare to go out in the future.
When I was young, I knew I would run away from home."
"Father, if the child is wrong, even if you leave, tell your father."
Xiao Zhan: "Okay, do you know a little girl named Lin Xu?
That little girl came to Xiao Mansion more than once to look for you.
It's a pity that you were not at home, he left after a short time."
"I know her. I met her in Taiheiyan City three years ago. She is the daughter of Lin Xing, the lord of Black Rock City."
Xiao Wuji thought of that cute little girl, and his expression couldn't help but soften.
"Haha, let me tell you, looking at the springy look on your face, you turn out to be your younger brother and sister."
Xiao Xun'er: "Unexpectedly, Wuji, you are the one who hides your secrets. Unknowingly, you have a confidante."
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, you haven't even written your horoscope yet.
Xun'er, I told you, call me brother Wuji.
You call me Brother Xiao Yan. I am just a few seconds younger than him. Don’t worry, I am older than you.
As for hiding something secretly, you and Third Brother should be the ones hiding it secretly.
Let me think about it, you were flirting with each other when you were seven or eight years old. This is truly puppy love."
Xiao Xun'er's face turned red and she glared at him fiercely.
Even Xiao Yan, a thick-skinned and shameless guy, was panicked and looked embarrassed.
Xiao Xun'er: "You are shameless, Uncle Xiao, don't listen to Wuji, Wuji, what nonsense are you talking about? You are speaking without restraint, Xiao Wuji, but I remember that you have not cultivated yourself, so be careful I teach you a lesson."
Xiao Wuji suddenly looked at Xiao Yan: "Ahem, yes, yes, third sister-in-law, I don't dare anymore.
Ha ha……
Not to mention anything else, Third Brother, have your talents recovered?
But don’t tell me that after three years of absence, you still haven’t found the reason why your fighting spirit disappeared after you came back.”
When Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan heard this, their faces turned gloomy. Even Xiao Xun'er couldn't care less about his nonsense and looked at Xiao Yan worriedly.
He glared at Xiao Wuji secretly, as if to say, which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted.
Xiao Wuji also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately acted like an ostrich.
After a while, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also came here, and the family was reunited again after three years.
"Father, my second brother and I have discussed it, and we plan to go out and have some adventures."
At the dinner table, Xiao Ding suddenly spoke up.
Xiao Li nodded in agreement, having the same view.
: "Yeah, father, my eldest brother and I decided to go somewhere else to make a living."
"This..., Ding'er, Li'er, you are just a fighter now, it's too dangerous to go out."
Xiao Ding: "Father, if the jade is not polished, it will become useless. We are all twenty years old.
It's not a problem to always be under the protection of my father.
We plan to go out and form our own force, which can be regarded as the foreign aid force of the Xiao family, hoping to help father."
Xiao Wuji: "Father, I support the eldest and second brothers, and I also want to form my own force..."
"Shut up……"
There were four people present, headed by Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan all drank.
Xiao Wuji could only shrink his neck and act like a good boy.
"Huh, naughty son, you just ran away from home and came back not long ago, and now you tell me that you want to go out? Do you still want to fly?
Are you going to form a force? I think it’s okay for you to form a nerd team.
It's okay, don't interrupt, I'm talking to your elder brother and the others, why interrupt..."
Xiao Zhan squirted wildly, blah blah blah a lot, turning into a chatterbox.
Xiao Wuji felt aggrieved and remained silent. He did not respond or refute. He didn't dare, otherwise he would really be beaten.
Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled, gloating over the misfortune.
"Hehe, Wuji, you are usually unreliable. A ten-year-old kid knows how to hide it from everyone and run away from home.
I think you want to leave in the future, Xuanlu..."
…
Regarding Xiao Wuji's return, everyone in the Xiao family should have almost forgotten about this little transparent person who is usually inconspicuous.
But with his arrival, everyone in the Xiao family recalled his legend.
Returning to the Xiao family, relying on his strength at the peak of Dou Wang, invincible in Wu Tan City, and his strength at the peak of the mid-level spiritual realm, he felt that this was his innate advantage and could not be wasted, so he came up with the idea of refining medicine.
You are truly a fool if you have this talent and turn a blind eye to the popular profession of alchemist.
In the Dou Qi Continent, it can be said that alchemists are much rarer and more precious than pure Dou Qi practitioners.
Alchemists can refine all kinds of magical elixirs, and their status is extremely prominent in Dou Qi Continent.
Alchemists have extremely powerful appeal, because no matter who they are, they can hope that the alchemists will owe them a favor.
It can be said that Xiao Wuji can come and go freely in the city. As long as his luck is not too bad and he meets those old monsters who have traveled here, he will be safe.
In Wutan City, he frequently visited the Alchemist Guild, not to steal elixirs, but to secretly read various secret books on alchemy.
It's a pity that there is no strange fire, but fortunately, the strange fire is only an auxiliary for refining medicine and is not necessary.
As time went by, I spent the day in the Xiao Family Scripture Collection Pavilion, and at night I spent time in Wucheng families such as the Jialie Family, the Oba Family, and even the Scripture Collection Pavilion of the Alchemist Guild branch.
Xiao Wuji couldn't figure it out either. He thought he had no talent in refining medicine, but he didn't expect that his talent in refining medicine was surprisingly good.
If you study by yourself, you can refine a first-class elixir in half a month (it has a very thin medicinal smell and has certain healing or amplifying effects).
Don't think that a first-grade elixir is low-level. In the Jiama Empire, even Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild and a well-known figure in the northwest, is only a fifth-grade peak alchemist.
