Chapter 33: A cross-era research in the Douqi Continent! "Plant grafting? What is that?" Even Yao Chen showed curiosity after hearing what Xiao Chong said. However, Xiao Yan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Xiao Chong's words. He sighed and said, "You are worthy of being Brother Xiao Chong. He can even research this!" Xiao Chong also introduced the benefits of grafting to Yao Lao. Twelve years ago, Xiao Chong discovered that his innate energy could be used to cultivate medicinal materials just like the energy of life. However, cultivating ordinary herbs was not enough for Xiao Chong, and it was also a waste of his extraordinary understanding. Taking this opportunity, Xiao Chong also had a bold idea. Since plants can be grafted, then these medicinal herbs and elixirs must be able to be grafted as well! By grafting and cultivating the roots of different kinds of medicinal herbs and adding Xiao Chong's special fighting spirit, it is possible to accomplish the feat of growing ten-thousand-year-old blood demon fruit on an ordinary apple tree! Hearing Xiao Chong's description, Yao Lao's eyes suddenly lit up. He felt as if he had suddenly been expanded to new ways of thinking. He was very sure that Xiao Chong's move was absolutely a groundbreaking research in the entire Douqi Continent! But the difficulty of this research is a bit too great! You have to know that high-quality medicinal materials themselves have enormous energy. The backlash during the refining process alone may directly take the life of a high-level alchemist. The same is probably true for Xiao Chong when he is performing the grafting process. Moreover, these herbs may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to grow, and normal people don't have the ability to accelerate the sublimation of medicinal materials like Xiao Chong.
This method is in some ways more dangerous than alchemy. If Xiao Chong did not have an extraordinary understanding that could directly identify the spirituality of the herbs, he would not have been able to successfully graft them. At the same time, because he has the ability to improve the quality of herbs, Xiao Chong can completely start grafting when the herbs are still in their young growth stage, and then infuse them with innate qi. When he thought of this, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Chong with some envy in his eyes, but then he coughed dryly. "Master Xiao Chong from the Xiao family, right? I wonder if you need any help from me?" Yao Chen also understood that Xiao Chong had just injected so much fighting spirit into the medicine field and demonstrated the magic of the medicine field in front of him. I can say that, with so many benefits in front of me, the next step is definitely to make some demands on him. Xiao Chong also spoke directly and frankly. "I want you to be a free serving elder of our Xiao family." "The Xiao family will develop rapidly in the future, but we are currently lacking an alchemist." "It would be best if the old gentleman could join us." "Also, if you are still wary of us, you can accept any young talent from the Xiao family as your disciple. Now, you can rest assured about us." "Uh……" When Yao Lao heard Xiao Chong's request, he was also stunned, and he wanted to refuse. After all, he was a free and easy-going person. If he wanted to join any force or organization, he would have already become the leader of Xingyun Pavilion or the elder of Danta. However, looking at the medicinal field behind Xiao Chong, and the grafting technique that Xiao Chong mentioned. For Yao Chen, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Besides, what Xiao Chong said was that he could accept someone from the Xiao family as his apprentice, which also made Yao Lao very concerned. Not to mention Xiao Chong in front of him, even the other members of the Xiao family, after being trained by Xiao Chong, almost all of them are rare geniuses! As for the lie, Yao Chen felt that it was totally unnecessary. Even if the strength of this person was not as good as his heyday, he was much stronger than he was now. It was better to say that Xiao Chong's frankness was very much in line with Yao Lao's appetite.
After thinking seriously for a few minutes, Yao Lao also laughed and said, "Well, my current state of soul body has limited freedom." "Besides, you helped me recover my soul power, and I already owe you a favor." "It's not impossible to accept a disciple and serve as a serving elder in your Xiao family." While saying this, Yao Lao also glanced at Xiao Yan beside him. With Yao Lao's intelligence, he naturally understood why Xiao Chong called Xiao Yan over, but he looked at Xiao Chong first, and a strange smile appeared on his old face. "Actually, if I really have to take a disciple, I would rather take you as my disciple." "Hey!" After saying this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling somewhat jealous. In the Xiao family, on weekdays, whether it is the cousin or other girls, they all revolve around Xiao Chong every day. As a result, the teacher who was called over also fell in love with Xiao Chong at first sight. It's not fair! We both traveled through time, so why am I just the background? But if you want to find the reason, there are naturally many places to look. Xiao Chong's current level of strength and the medicine field behind him are too attractive for the alchemist Yao Lao! However, Yao Lao finally shook his head and said, "But I feel that, in comparison, this child looks more suitable for me." Having said this, Yao Lao also looked at Xiao Yan. He could naturally feel that the attributes in Xiao Yan's body were very suitable for becoming an alchemist. "Accepting you as my apprentice... I understand that I can't teach you anything at all. I don't want to accept a disciple and then have him become a master in just a few years." "Then I, as a master, really have no sense of honor at all." "Haha, you are too kind, Brother Xiao Yan. Now it's time for you to come over and pay your respects to me as your disciple." Xiao Chong didn't seem to care much. After all, his extraordinary comprehension meant that he didn't need a teacher at all, and no one was qualified to be his teacher. What he needed was Yao Lao's rich experience in the Douqi Continent, and to observe his alchemy skills. When Xiao Yan heard what Xiao Chong said, he was immediately overjoyed. I will finally have a master and become an alchemist! But then, Yao Lao took out a black and red scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Chong. "My dear friend Xiao Chong, although you and I are not destined to be a master and a disciple, I still owe you a favor, and I am afraid that ordinary things cannot repay this favor."
