764. Matters of Resurrection
Little Fairy Doctor also went to Xiao Yan's side, tidying up Xiao Qingqing's skirt while teasing him, "Finally decided to come out?"
"I don't want my teacher to wait too long for his resurrection." Since returning from the ancient clan, Xiao Yan has returned to an incredibly busy schedule, handling all the matters related to Yao Lao's resurrection.
Wei Jiangyuan still hadn't given up on amusing Xiao Qingqing, so he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "Old Xiao, don't be too hasty. Haste makes waste."
"Look at me, even though my father-in-law has given me such a big problem, I'm still eating and drinking as usual, without missing a beat."
Wei Jiangyuan had somehow produced a plump, juicy, bright red fruit in his right hand and waved it in front of Xiao Qingqing. The fruit's sweet aroma was incredibly tempting. Xiao Qingqing's attention was immediately drawn to it. Her big, bright eyes stared curiously at the fruit, her little mouth slightly open, and her chubby little hands reached out but couldn't reach it no matter what she did.
Just when Xiao Qingqing was about to burst into tears, Wei Jiangyuan chuckled and stuffed the fruit into her hand, making the little girl smile again.
Upon hearing what Wei Jiangyuan said, Yao Qingyu slightly raised her chin, crossed her arms, and let out a soft snort: "No wonder, Young Master Wei is so relaxed. He probably didn't take Father's mission to heart at all."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jiangyuan's smile instantly turned into an extremely troubled expression. He then feigned a resentful lament to Yao Qingyu, saying, "Qingyu, it's really not that I didn't try hard enough. Our father clearly looks down on me, a powerless young man, and is making me redesign the resurrection plan. Isn't this blatantly trying to break up this loving couple?"
As Wei Jiangyuan spoke, he winked at Yao Qingyu and leaned towards her, as if he wanted to snuggle into her arms at any moment.
"Ask Lao Xiao about the difficulty involved, and everyone will say it's incredibly difficult. I'm telling you, it's only because I love you so unconditionally that most people would have given up long ago."
Upon hearing Wei Jiangyuan's explanation, Yao Qingyu's previously stern face finally broke down, and her eyes curved into crescent moons: "Stop making excuses. What kind of powerless young man are you, pretending to be pitiful?"
Hearing this, even Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. Looking down at Xiao Qingqing in his arms, the little one was intently munching on the fruit peel that Wei Jiangyuan had given her, her little face covered in glistening juice.
Then a hand reached towards Xiao Yan's mouth: "Daddy, eat!"
Xiao Yan obediently took a bite. As a disciple, he naturally knew that Yao Lao would not deliberately make things difficult for Wei Jiangyuan.
Upon their return that day, the relationship between Yao Lao and Xuan Yi quickly returned to normal. After all, it wasn't that Yao Lao was unwilling to take responsibility; it was simply that Han Feng had betrayed Yao Lao and ruined everything. Xuan Yi had never forgotten Yao Lao for so many years, and now that Yao Lao was still in his soul form, Xuan Yi was too heartbroken to even think about him.
Xuan Yi came to Xiao Yan several times to inquire about the progress of the resurrection, and each time she told Xiao Yan not to rush. How could Xiao Yan not know the anxious and conflicted feelings in Xuan Yi's heart?
As for Yao Qingyu, she ultimately chose to understand, since the most difficult days were over and the Yao family was enjoying a more comfortable time than ever before.
Of course, the most restless of them all was Wei Jiangyuan. Everyone knew that although Wei Jiangyuan was glib and cynical, he was truly sincere towards Yao Qingyu and a good companion to her. Yao Qingyu herself was very fond of him, and their relationship had rapidly warmed up over the past three years; it was only a matter of time before they got together.
But Wei Jiangyuan, for some unknown reason, insisted on getting Yao Lao's support. In his words, marriage is arranged by parents, and if Yao Lao supports it, how could Yao Qingyu dare to disagree?
Knowing he owed Yao Qingyu a great deal, Yao Lao couldn't possibly make any decisions on his own. However, he also recognized Wei Jiangyuan's exceptional talent in alchemy. Even though he had already nurtured a disciple like Xiao Yan, he still couldn't help but admire Wei Jiangyuan's talent. Since Xiao Yan was already feeling that the original resurrection method was insufficient and was currently considering improvements, he decided to have Wei Jiangyuan join in as well.
Over the past three years, Wei Jiangyuan had devoted considerable time to researching the process of refining a soul into a physical body, and had even resolved to personally revive Yao Lao. However, adapting Yao Lao's current condition was extremely difficult, and he, like Xiao Yan, was clearly stumped by this problem. These past few days, he had been racking his brains over this issue, and although he had a shortcut, Wei Jiangyuan was extremely persistent in his alchemy skills and refused to consult his teacher.
The old doctor's condition was that he would support Yao Lao as long as Yao Lao could come up with a way to refine the body on his own.
Although he was teasing Xiao Qingqing, the fatigue in his eyes was undeniable, a result of his intense dedication to alchemy.
"Qingyu, how's the effect of the strange fire?" When the topic came up, Xiao Yan turned his concern to Yao Qingyu. After all, her strange fire, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, came from the Spirit Clan. Although it was a direct capture on the battlefield, Xiao Yan was still worried that something unexpected might happen.
"Quite useful." Yao Qingyu's fingertips also produced Wind Fury Dragon Flame. For any alchemist, strange fire is an absolute weapon.
The flames Yao Qingyu used before were of decent quality, but they were still far inferior to the strange fire. With the strange fire, although Yao Qingyu's alchemy skills might not have caught up with Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan, she was still a rare talent among the younger generation, and Cao Yingdanchen was no match for her.
"Strange fire is good, but don't overdo it, Lao Xiao, is that what you meant?" Wei Jiangyuan added in advance, a smug look on his face.
Xiao Yan was about to tell Yao Qingyu about the experience he had learned from Huo Zhen, but Wei Jiangyuan finished speaking first.
Seeing Wei Jiangyuan's grinning expression, Xiao Yan shook his head and chuckled. He thought of his teacher, Wei Jiangyuan, who was a ninth-grade alchemist whom even the Pill Tower respected immensely. Alchemists of that level would naturally have unique insights into strange fires and would have firsthand experience in advancing to the ninth grade, so it was impossible for them to overlook this point.
Wei Jiangyuan also puffed out his chest, exuding the air of a master: "Old Xiao, although you won the championship of the Pill Gathering, I feel that I might be the first to enter the ninth rank."
Xiao Yan looked at the confident Wei Jiangyuan and smiled maliciously: "That's hard to say. I feel that after helping my teacher revive this time, I might be able to reach the threshold of the ninth rank."
Xiao Yan spoke with certainty, as if he was indeed confident, while gently wiping the juice off Xiao Qingqing's face.
