Chapter 49: Transformation Pill
"It has actually become so serious. If Old Master Nalan dies, won't the Nalan family fall from grace!" The middle-aged man sighed.
"Who says it isn't! The Nalan family has always been sandwiched between the Yunlan Sect and the Gama Empire Royal Family, which is really not easy. In the past, with the Yunlan Sect's care, the Gama Empire Royal Family naturally couldn't do anything to the Nalan family. Now, because of Nalan Yanran's reason, coupled with the fact that the Nalan family's pillar, Nalan Jie, is about to die, the Yunlan Sect's attitude towards the Nalan family has also undergone subtle changes." The skinny monkey echoed.
"Hehe, the Yunlan Sect taking Nalan Yanran as a disciple, although it was because of her high cultivation talent, also had the purpose of winning over the Nalan family. Now that Nalan Jie is about to die, the attitude naturally has to change a bit!" The middle-aged man smiled indifferently.
"Who can blame this? It's all because Nalan Yanran was too spoiled, actually privately breaking off the engagement, which caused these things. Fortunately, she isn't my daughter; otherwise, I would have beaten her to death long ago." The skinny monkey said.
"Haha! You can give birth to such a beautiful daughter as Nalan Yanran? But Nalan Yanran is also having a very hard time now. She is mocked in the Yunlan Sect, and after returning to the family, she is scolded by the family members. She is not a person on either side; she is truly asking for trouble. But pitiful people must have hateful aspects. And I heard that three years later, she will have another match with that Xiao family brat. If she loses, she will have to be a slave and a maid. If she loses again in three years, she really won't be able to see anyone. Come! The dishes are all here; let's start eating!" The middle-aged man greeted the skinny monkey to eat, and the two stopped talking.
"I didn't expect that forcing Nalan Yanran to sign the cancellation agreement would have such a big impact on the Nalan family!" Xiao Yan sighed in his heart.
"That's great. Three months is enough for us to finish everything in the Imperial Capital. But I can't reach the conditions for refining Fourth Grade pills yet, so I can only ask Teacher to do it for me!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Finally, the Xiao family was originally rooted in the Imperial Capital, but because Xiao Yan's grandfather was chased and killed by enemies outside, the Xiao family fell from grace and had to leave the Imperial Capital to gain a foothold in the remote Wutan City. But who was the enemy? If it were the Soul Hall, how could there be a living person in the Xiao family at this time? But if it wasn't, the Xiao family had just joined the Gama Empire not long ago, and they didn't know many people; where would they get enemies?
"Stinky brat, you can still give me benefits?" Yao Lao obviously didn't take Xiao Yan's words seriously.
The next day, the morning sunlight shone through the window, and a warm feeling came over him.
"What kind of changes will this thing actually make to me? What if I turn into an ugly monster? Forget it, let it be!" Xiao Yan didn't hesitate anymore and put the pill directly into his mouth.
"Sorry for the trouble, Teacher. But in a few days, I will be able to bring you some good things. I hope Teacher won't be surprised when the time comes." Xiao Yan smiled crookedly, saying mysteriously.
"Then there is only the Transformation Pill. Although this kind of pill cannot change your body shape, it can change your facial muscles, causing your appearance to change, but the change is random, and the effect can only last for three months. The Transformation Pill is only a Fourth Grade pill. Although the refining technique is very complex and requires many medicinal ingredients, it only needs some low-level ingredients; we have ready-made ingredients, so we don't need to go out and buy them." Yao Lao smiled indifferently.
Since Xiao Yan started training, he hadn't eaten well; he either found some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger or roasted magical beast meat to eat, and he was tired of eating it.
After eating, Xiao Yan directly found a nice inn to stay in, preparing to have a good rest. But just as he lay on the bed, Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something and got up directly to ask Yao Lao: "Teacher, are there any pills that can change appearance?"
"Have to do manual labor for you again!" Yao Lao shook his head helplessly.
"Oh? What do you want that thing for?" Yao Lao floated out of the ring and asked with a smile.
Xiao Yan got up from the bed, walked to the table, picked up the Transformation Pill refined by Yao Lao, put it into his storage ring, and started to wash up. After washing up, he put on the new clothes he bought yesterday. Xiao Yan stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and took out a Transformation Pill from the storage ring and placed it in his hand.
Xiao Yan saw that Yao Lao didn't believe him, so he didn't say anything; after all, facts speak louder than words!
Xiao Yan saw that Yao Lao had already started refining medicine, so he didn't disturb him anymore and continued to lie on the bed to rest. After all, three months of training was quite hard, and he had been sleeping in the open, basically not having a good sleep.
"Do you want to use it for a long time, or do you only want to use it for a short time?" Yao Lao asked with a smile.
"Know you're afraid?" Yao Lao said playfully.
There was also Medusa's Snake-People tribe, who wanted to have a foothold in the Magical Beast Mountain Range but were blocked out and forced to live in the harsh environment of the Tagor Desert for a thousand years.
"So comfortable! I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time!" Xiao Yan stretched and yawned.
Of course, all of this was Xiao Yan's own speculation; whether it was really like this, he didn't know.
However, even without the cancellation agreement, as long as Nalan Yanran lost in the match, it would have the same impact, because the Gama Empire was pushing the waves behind it. The Gama Empire Royal Family was very xenophobic, which could be seen from the fact that there was only one sect, the Yunlan Sect, in the entire Gama Empire. Just like that, they still set up tens of thousands of iron cavalry at the foot of the Yunlan Sect mountain, ostensibly to garrison the capital, but actually to monitor and threaten.
"Why would I want a pill for long-term use? We won't stay in the Imperial Capital for long!" Xiao Yan didn't want to take a pill that would be effective for a long time! That thing still required an antidote to recover; if the antidote was gone, he wouldn't be able to recover for a lifetime.
"What do you mean afraid! I just don't want to cause trouble." Xiao Yan argued.
Although Xiao Yan was not in the Imperial Capital, his legends were everywhere in the Imperial Capital, and many people in the Imperial Capital wanted to see this genius teenager who could defeat Nalan Yanran.
"Forget it, don't think so much. Let's eat first. After eating, find a hotel to rest for the night, and then go to the Alchemist Guild tomorrow to take the First Grade Alchemist exam first." Xiao Yan saw that the food was ready and started eating big mouthfuls.
"Isn't this afraid of being recognized? No one would have thought that the matter of breaking off the engagement would spread so fast, and everyone in the entire Imperial Capital knows it." Xiao Yan said awkwardly.
If he were recognized, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? Although the Yunlan Sect and the Nalan family wouldn't attack the Xiao family because of their reputation, if they could kill Xiao Yan before the three-year big match, Xiao Yan felt they would still be very happy to do so.
As the pill entered his abdomen, Xiao Yan immediately felt a wave of energy continuously surging towards his face. Under this strange energy, Xiao Yan's facial muscles began to squirm, and in a short while, Xiao Yan changed his appearance.
"So magical!" Xiao Yan looked at himself in the mirror and said in surprise.
Now Xiao Yan's appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. Although Xiao Yan's body hadn't changed in the slightest, just looking at this face, even if his father Xiao Zhan came, he probably wouldn't recognize him!
