Chapter 72: Jia Xingtian

"Even you can't see through that person's strength; doesn't that mean that person is at least a Dou Zong, or even a Dou Zun expert?" After hearing the answer Fama gave, Jia Xingtian said in shock.

"It shouldn't be a Dou Zong; looking at the strength, it should be at least a Dou Zun expert!" Fama said somewhat unsurely.

Jia Xingtian was silent for a long time and then asked again: "Fa Lao Tou, you still haven't told me the identity and background of that youth."

"You! You are too cautious. Do you think our poor and remote place can cultivate such an outstanding youth? That youth is just here in the Gama Empire to travel. If it weren't for helping you refine medicinal pills, he would have left the Gama Empire this time." Fama said with a laugh. Being an old actor of over two hundred years, his acting skills could be called textbook level.

"Sigh! It is indeed my overthinking! It's just that for the safety of the Gama Empire, I have to be careful. I hope Fa Lao will forgive me!" Jia Xingtian said apologetically. He also felt that this remote place in the Northwest Continent had scarce resources, making it very difficult for a genius like Xiao Yan to appear.

"Hehe, you protect the safety of the entire Gama Empire; being careful is indeed correct. However, with his talent and family background, he doesn't look at your poor and remote place, so you can rest assured!" Fama said with a smile.

"That's good!" Fama nodded.

"Hehe, helping you is what I should do! After all, I, an old man, don't like war either. However, Little Brother Nie Feng comes from there after all. If you can't take out anything good, then don't blame me. His vision won't be too low. If you don't bleed heavily, I guess he won't help you refine." Fama said with a laugh.

"Many thanks! It's impossible to make someone like him dispel all doubts, but being like this is already quite good." Xiao Yan thanked him.

"That's not necessary! However, since I came to the Imperial Capital, you have been helping me, so I can't show nothing. Although I don't have anything good on me now, you should need this thing." Xiao Yan took out a scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Fama with a smile.

"This is the medicine refining experience Teacher wrote for me. I have finished reading it, and you have already been taken as a disciple by Teacher, so you are also qualified to watch this thing." After Xiao Yan introduced it, he handed the scroll to Fama.

"Hmm, he came to ask me about your identity as soon as he arrived, afraid that you would be a threat to the Gama Empire. But I only told him that you are a disciple of a mysterious expert in Zhongzhou, and you yourself also come from Zhongzhou. However, he might still be suspicious of you and will inquire about your identity from other places." Fama nodded and said.

"Hehe! Then I won't be polite. But wait until I'm about to leave to take it!" Xiao Yan said happily.

"I hope Fa Lao Tou can help me say some nice words in front of that youth; I will take my leave first!" Jia Xingtian's goal had been achieved. Knowing that staying any longer wouldn't make sense, he could only take his leave.

"You are quite willing to pay the price!" After Fama took the storage ring, he scanned it with his Soul Perception and found that the things inside made even him feel somewhat moved.

"By the way, did Jia Xingtian leave?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Sigh! The Gama Empire has indeed been able to stand firm in this Northwest Continent because of your protection over the years. You have also had it quite hard." Fama echoed.

Because he really needed this thing too much. He had been stuck at the peak of a Fifth-Grade Alchemist for so many years without any progress, only able to explore by himself. Although in a few years, it was possible to enter the Sixth-Grade Alchemist realm, it would be difficult to make any progress after that.

"Do we still need to say thank you between us?" Fama said indifferently.

"That's so embarrassing!" Xiao Yan smiled, somewhat shyly. However, these medicinal materials were exactly what he needed. Most of them were medicinal materials needed for refining Third-Grade and Fourth-Grade medicinal pills, and among them were the medicinal materials needed for refining the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill. Xiao Yan was naturally moved.

"Then I won't see you off." Fama said with a smile.

"I came here this time just to inquire about the background of that little brother. The real purpose is to let him help refine two Longevity Pills. This matter still needs Fa Lao's help. I trouble you to tell that little brother. You also know that at our age, we could enter the grave at any time. I am fine, but if I die, I'm afraid the entire Gama Empire will fall into war again, and the people will live in misery. So I hope Fa Lao can say some nice words for me." Knowing that it was already difficult to find out more news about Nie Feng, Jia Xingtian could only state the other purpose of his visit.

Fama wanted to refuse, but feeling the soul fluctuation on this scroll and scanning it with his Soul Perception, he could no longer say words of refusal.

After Jia Xingtian finished speaking, he took out a storage ring from his bosom. After handing the storage ring to Fama, he introduced: "Inside are the medicinal materials for six Longevity Pills, as well as the rewards needed for refining these medicinal pills."

"That's good! That's good!" Hearing Fama's words, Jia Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief, putting on a look of having all his doubts dispelled. However, whether his doubts had really disappeared, that was unknown.

"Look at you, your eyes are glowing. Take it! These medicinal materials are of no great use to me; they are all medicinal materials left over from others asking me to refine medicinal pills. Putting them here is just a waste." Fama said.

After Jia Xingtian left, Fama stayed outside for a while longer, confirming that Jia Xingtian had indeed left, before walking toward the secret room.

After Fama walked to the secret room and saw Xiao Yan watching the medicinal materials he collected, he smiled and said: "If you like them, take them all!"

"There is no way! We old people are already so old; we could die at any time. If I die, it's fine, but the Gama Empire hasn't cultivated a qualified guardian yet, so I'm not at ease." Jia Xingtian said somewhat melancholically.

"That is natural! However, although the Gama Empire is not rich, if it wants to take out some good things, it is not too difficult." Jia Xingtian smiled.

Although Jia Xingtian could be 100% sure that Xiao Yan was here, he came to ask for help this time, and just Fama's status alone didn't allow him to act recklessly.

Fama respectfully took the scroll from Xiao Yan's hand. After getting the scroll, he knelt down facing the east again, shouting: "Many thanks, Teacher!"

Seeing Fama's serious appearance, Xiao Yan felt speechless. Why did he kneel at every turn!

"This is the reward and medicinal materials given by Jia Xingtian. You take a look first. If you think it's too little, after you refine the medicinal pills, I will ask him for more. I will go study the medicine refining experience written by Teacher first. This secret room is one of my places for closed-door cultivation; everything is available, and no one will disturb you. You can stay here to cultivate or help them refine medicine in peace. At the entrance of the secret room, there is a mechanism on the left. You should have seen it when you came. If you have any needs, you can press the mechanism, and then I will know." After Fama handed the ring to Xiao Yan, he ran out of the secret room in a hurry with that scroll. Looking at his appearance, he didn't look like someone about to enter the grave at all; he was simply a lively little child.
