Upon returning from the auction house, Yao Chen immediately began refining the Foundation Building Elixir, and it was completed in no time.

Although there were only five bottles at present, according to Xiao Yans calculations, it should be enough for the Xiao Clans children, including himself, to use for two or three days.

The next problem was how to distribute these things.

Xiao Yan looked at the five bottles of Foundation Building Elixir on the table, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Before he entrusted Yao Fei to auction off the bottle of Foundation Building Elixir, just one bottle had brought him a profit of 230,000 gold coins.

At the same time as he was pleasantly surprised, Xiao Yan also immediately understood one thing.

He seemed to have underestimated the value of the Foundation Building Elixir.

An innocent man may carry a valuable treasure, but even if Xiao Yan wanted the Xiao Clans children to enjoy this benefit, he couldnt let them know about the existence of this thing. Therefore, he couldnt simply distribute it to everyone.

Although Xiao Yan believed in the children of the Xiao Clan, there should always be a contingency plan.

If it were known that the Foundation Building Elixir was distributed by him, it was very likely that Yao Chen, who was behind him, would also be discovered.

Although Yao Chen did not explain her origins, judging from the current state of her soul body, Xiao Yan could roughly guess.

His teacher might have encountered a lot of trouble in her lifetime, and even been hunted down, before she had no choice but to hide in the ring.

Therefore, Xiao Yan had to conceal Yao Chens existence as much as possible. It was already a last resort for Yao Fei to know, and she was a rare person who could keep a secret.

If others knew about it, Xiao Yan might not be so lucky.

Looking at Xiao Yan sitting at the table, staring at the Foundation Building Elixir with a headache, Yao Chen couldnt help but sigh.

Giving favors to others while being so cautious, trying to avoid trouble, this was the first time Yao Chen had seen this in her many years.

However, having become familiar with Xiao Yans character, Yao Chen also guessed that Xiao Yan was so concerned because he was afraid of exposing herself and afraid of bringing unnecessary trouble upon herself .

Thinking of this, a warm current flowed through Yao Chens heart.

Although she had only recently taken this disciple, Yao Chen was quite satisfied with Xiao Yan, especially his constant consideration for others.

Xiao Yans pursuit of the righteous path was not just empty talk. He was truly and wholeheartedly striving forward on this thorny road.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan in front of her and couldnt help but compare him to another person.

If that child were like Xiao Yan, things wouldnt have turned out like this

Oh, right!

Just as Yao Chen was about to sink into sadness, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and exclaimed.

That spot is perfect!

Then, with the five bottles of Foundation Building Elixir, Xiao Yan left the room and traveled through the night to the back mountain of the Xiao Clan.

Following the route from his memory, he passed through the dark forest and finally reached his destination.

It was a rather large hot spring, divided by wooden mats to avoid the embarrassment of having the men and women bathing together.

Wow, you even have a hot spring here?

Yao Chen was surprised. Although the Xiao Clan was small, they really didnt lack anything.

When I was a child, I often heard my father and the elders talk about the stories of discovering treasures in the deep mountains. At that time, I rallied the brothers and sisters of the Xiao Clan to come to the back mountain to dig for treasure, hoping to encounter the adventures that would often be told in those stories.

Xiao Yan said, a nostalgic smile on his face.

Although we didnt find any treasures in the end, we unexpectedly dug up this hot spring. It wasnt a waste of effort.

Listening to Xiao Yans account, a feeling of envy rose in Yao Chens heart. As a young child, with pure thoughts, he went to the clans back mountain with his friends to dig for treasures. This was something that would be impossible in Yao Chens much larger and more conservative clan.

In Yao Chens clan, such behavior would only be seen as unproductive and something those who are lacking in education would do.

Little did they know, the pure happiness and memories from their childhood, no matter how powerful they become in the future, could never be experienced again.

Even in the same place, doing the same things, a soul corroded by time is far from being as innocent as before and cannot experience that pure happiness anymore.

With this in mind, an image appeared in Yao Chens mind.

Xiao Yan, with his siblings, excitedly digging in the back mountain. Although every child had a dirty face, they all had excited, happy, and pure smiles, looking forward to discovering some amazing treasures.

They must have been very happy at that time

Yao Chen thought that Xiao Yans memories with his siblings were much more precious than those high-level pills, techniques, and combat skills.

While Yao Chen was lost in thought, Xiao Yan squatted by the hot spring, twisting open the bottles of Foundation Building Elixir one by one, and pouring all five bottles into the hot spring.

In an instant, the originally clear hot spring revealed a faint emerald color, but fortunately, it was not too noticeable due to the mist cover.

After completing all of this, Xiao Yan left the back mountain and went back to his room to rest.

The next day, Xiao Yan woke up early and went to his fathers room, knocking on the door.

After a moment, Xiao Zhans door was opened, and he looked at Xiao Yan with some confusion.

Son, do you have something to tell me so early in the morning?

Father, starting from today, I want to take the young members of the Xiao Clan to train in the back mountain. I hope you can inform the parents of the Xiao Clan members not to worry.

After listening to Xiao Yans words, Xiao Zhan was full of doubts.

What is his son up to now?

But out of trust for his son, Xiao Zhan didnt ask much and simply replied.

Okay, Ill inform them.

Thank you, father.

Xiao Yan said goodbye to his father and went straight to the training field, where more than twenty young members of the Xiao Clan were already waiting.

When they saw Xiao Yan, they prepared to warm up for their daily basic training, but Xiao Yan waved his hand and stopped them.

Everyone, stop for a moment. Starting today, we wont train here anymore.

What? Xiao Ning rubbed his neck and looked at Xiao Yan strangely. What do you mean?

We are going to train at a training camp~

Xiao Yan smiled and said two words, causing Xiao Ning to look even more confused.

When are we not training?

Xiao Yan didnt explain much and simply clapped his hands to signal the group to follow him.

First of all, I need a few people to come with me to buy food for the next three days.

Xiao Yan, along with several young male members of the clan, left the training ground, and the two young girls, Xiao Xuner and Xiao Mei, also followed suit.

As it turned out, on this continent, anything not related to Dou Qi was not particularly expensive.

For less than 600 gold coins, Xiao Yan bought a pig, a cow, and a sheep, as well as rice, flour, oil, vegetables, seasonings, and various cooking utensils, which made him sigh with emotion.

Previously, he thought he didnt have enough money to buy medicinal herbs, but now he realized that money was quite easy to spend.

The group then carried these items back to the Xiao Clans training ground, leaving passersby looking confused.
