Chapter 169: Improving Aptitude

Ya Fei is a very shrewd businesswoman. Xiao Yan is destined to bleed heavily today. But Xiao Yan was also prepared in his heart.

I saw Ya Fei pacing back and forth in the room, her expression changing constantly, as if she was thinking about how to make Xiao Yan repay her.

Seeing Ya Fei walking back and forth in the room, Xiao Yan knew she wanted to maximize the benefits, so he didn't disturb her.

"How about you help me improve my aptitude?..." Ya Fei pondered for a long time, then said seriously.

"You... what did you say? Say it again!" Xiao Yan thought his ears were problematic! Help her improve her aptitude; is aptitude something that can be improved just by saying it?

A person's aptitude is decided from birth. Of course, there are some pills that can improve aptitude. But those pills are too precious, like the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and the Yi Shi Pill refined by Yao Lao.

The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is a Seventh-Grade Pill that can make people break and stand up. And the Yi Shi Pill is an Eighth-Grade Pill that can improve a person's cultivation physique and thus improve aptitude.

Ya Fei wanted to use this favor to exchange for Seventh-Grade or even Eighth-Grade pills. Xiao Yan felt she must be crazy, thinking about farts.

The Mittel Clan is a business clan and doesn't have much affection for the imperial family, and even feels some disgust.

"Why? Don't you always want to change your fate? It should make no difference whether you listen to me or the Mittel Clan!" Xiao Yan felt puzzled in his heart.

"It seems the Mittel Clan has discovered something, but looking at Ya Fei's reaction, the Mittel Clan should want to curry favor with the Xiao Clan and only have goodwill toward the Xiao Clan." Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"You are truly a clever woman! I have to say you succeeded in convincing me!" Xiao Yan said with a light laugh.

Xiao Yan's strength will become stronger and stronger in the future, and as his strength becomes stronger, the possibility of exposure will become greater and greater.

"But why should I help you? Although you helped us a lot. But improving aptitude is equivalent to defying the heavens. Your previous help to the Xiao Clan is not enough, and if this kind of thing really succeeds, once it spreads, I will be in big trouble. Why should I believe you?" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Merchants value profit. As long as they can see benefits in Xiao Yan, they naturally want to cooperate wholeheartedly and curry favor with the Xiao Clan.

"Because you are strong! It is natural for the weak to listen to the strong. Those people in the Mittel Clan are not worthy of controlling me. And most importantly, I really don't want to marry someone I don't like." Ya Fei said seriously.

Seeing Xiao Yan walking toward the candle, Ya Fei frowned, not knowing what Xiao Yan wanted to do.

"Although I agreed, if you can't pass the test, or can't bear it halfway, don't blame me." Xiao Yan took a deep breath and said.

"This..." Ya Fei naturally knew what improving aptitude meant. Her previous help to the Xiao Clan was far from enough.

"As long as you help me improve my aptitude and strength, in the future, when I master the Mittel Clan, I will directly listen to you. I think with your talent, I think you will have very high achievements in the future, and you will definitely build a force. As long as you build a force, the Mittel Clan will be the first to join, and with your identity as an alchemist, it should not be difficult to get some drugs to control me, right?" Ya Fei went all out to improve her strength.

"I used to think that as long as I managed the business well, I could change my fate. Later I found out I was wrong. In the Dou Qi Continent, strength is always respected. Without strength, everything is empty. Unfortunately, my aptitude is too poor. Even if I work hard to cultivate and have the assistance of pills, my achievements will be at most Great Dou Master." Ya Fei said with a melancholy face.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, be afraid of thieves thinking about it.

"It seems I have to go back and discuss it with Father!" Xiao Yan already had a plan in his heart.

For that piece of jade, they could even wipe out the eight ancient clans, and even when they were ruthless, they wouldn't even let go of their own people. What was a small Xiao Clan?

Seeing Ya Fei's melancholy face, plus Ya Fei's recent abnormality, Xiao Yan finally felt that something was wrong.

Always having a clan dragging their feet behind is not a thing, and the clan is likely to have been targeted long ago. As long as Xun'er leaves, those people will take action. It's just that they won't take action directly, but will borrow other people's power to take action.

Xiao Yan was stunned after hearing Ya Fei's words. He didn't expect Ya Fei to not even want her own personal freedom in order to improve her aptitude and strength.

"You agreed?" Ya Fei said excitedly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Ya Fei smiled bitterly, knowing that her request was a bit excessive.

"Xiao Yan!" Seeing Xiao Yan stunned after hearing what she said, Ya Fei couldn't help but remind him.

"Of course! But I can definitely do it!..." Ya Fei flashed a trace of determination in her eyes and said.

"As long as I can improve my aptitude, I'm not afraid of eating any bitterness!" Ya Fei said excitedly.

I saw Xiao Yan say: "See this candle flame? If you put your palm on the candle flame and burn it for three minutes, you will pass the test!"

But Xiao Yan couldn't always live like a mouse, always hiding his identity and living underground! Xiao Yan wouldn't be suffocated to death.

"Put your palm on the candle flame and bake it for three minutes; wouldn't that bake your palm cooked?" Xiao Yan's words directly stunned Ya Fei.

Xiao Yan, who figured everything out, breathed a sigh of relief, but an idea arose in his mind.

As for why he used candle flames to test Ya Fei, it was because Xiao Yan's method of improving aptitude was to use Exotic Fire to burn Ya Fei's meridians, body, and refine the Dou Qi in her body.

"Do you really want to improve your aptitude?" Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei and said seriously.

After speaking, Xiao Yan walked to the side, waiting for Ya Fei to make a decision.

"You have a way?" Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan in shock. She just made a random request and didn't hold much hope.

"I have an immature idea, but you have to eat a lot of bitterness. Very, very bitter!" Xiao Yan said indifferently.

Recalling the strange stranger beside Ya Fei during the clan adult test.

If a person accidentally touches a candle flame, they will subconsciously retract their hand. This is an instinctive reaction. Not to mention actively putting your palm on the fire to bake; this requires great perseverance to do.

Isn't it like that in the original work, taking advantage of the Yunlan Sect making trouble in the Xiao Clan to secretly kidnap Xiao Zhan?

"Well, since you are so confident, let's try it!" Xiao Yan nodded, then walked to a candle stand.

To put it bluntly, it is Exotic Fire Body Tempering. The pain of Exotic Fire Body Tempering, Xiao Yan has personally experienced it, naturally knowing what it tastes like, much more uncomfortable than putting your palm on the candle flame to bake.

If Ya Fei couldn't even pass this test, what kind of aptitude improvement is there to talk about.

How can you defy the heavens just by saying it? Without great perseverance and the spirit of eating bitterness, want to defy the heavens? Better wash up and sleep!
