The word ‘transmigrator’ immediately attracted his attention.

‘Could it be that I’m not the only one who transmigrated?’

This was what Xiaoyan was thinking. However, this was not the time to ponder this matter, so he took off the ring without hesitation.

He was about to hand it to Wang Mang when the ring suddenly flew into the distance. Wang Mang easily caught it, which elicited looks of surprise from everyone, who stared at the ring in Wang Mang’s hand in astonishment.

At the same time, Wang Mang gave Xiao Yan a meaningful glance before riding away on the tiger.

Xiao Yan watched Wang Mang’s departing figure. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to chase after him, but he did not dare to.

The one thing he did know was that Wang Mang definitely had a way to leave this world, and perhaps return to Earth!

Unfortunately, he was powerless.

At this moment, in a vast forest of green with clear waters, Wang Mang played with the ring in his hand and slowly said, “Elder Yao, right? Come out! Give me your art of alchemy, and I’ll naturally let you go.”

Moments later, a translucent white-robed elder with white hair floated out of the ring.

This old man was none other than Yao Chen.

However, at this moment, Yao Chen was looking at Wang Mang with a grave expression. He could sense that Wang Mang was completely different from the other Dou Zuns, and much stronger.

He remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, “You want my alchemy? That’s not something that can be given, and needs to be taught step by step.”

“If you want to learn, avenge me and help me revive. Then I’ll teach you alchemy!”

Wang Mang was speechless.

This old fellow was quite smart. He actually took the opportunity to make a request. However, Wang Mang naturally wouldn’t agree. On the contrary, he said rudely, “Old man, I advise you not to have any other ideas.”

“Otherwise, I’ll make sure you won’t even be able to live in your soul form!”

After hearing Wang Mang’s threat, Yao Chen was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, “Fine then! Here you go! But you can’t reveal my whereabouts, and you can’t tell anyone about my situation!”

“I can sense that you’re not from the Soul clan.”

Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

“Hand it over!”

“The Soul clan or whatnot has nothing to do with me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mang saw a jade scroll floating in front of him. He immediately took it and opened it. It was indeed about alchemy.

Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

“Alright! Old man, you can leave now.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen left sullenly to look for Xiao Yan.

From Yao Chen’s point of view, an old fox like Wang Mang was not easy to fool. It was better to rely on Xiao Yan. At the very least, the little fellow seemed to be acquainted with someone from the ancient races.

Moreover, Xiao Yan’s temperament made him a suitable disciple candidate.

Wang Mang engrossed himself in studying the contents of the jade scroll. However, the main problem was that this jade scroll recorded the alchemy technique of the Dou Qi world, which he had no clue about.

Thinking this, Wang Mang could not help but ask, “System, can you change the contents to something 1 can understand?”

[Ding! Changing the contents to the most suitable alchemy technique for the host requires 10,000 energy points! Host, do you wish to modify the contents?] “Modify!”

Although it was a little painful to spend so many energy points, Wang Mang still endured his heartache for the sake of alchemy. Well, for the sake of the mission.

[Ding! Congratulations! Successfully modified!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Tier 1 alchemy technique!]

A brand-new alchemy manual appeared in front of him.

After Wang Mang received it, he glanced through it and was delighted to discover that he could finally understand the alchemy technique.

In his excitement, Wang Mang could not wait to start learning it, so he sent the tiger and water buffalo demon kings away.

He would allow them to cultivate here on their own. When the energy stored in the teleportation stone was full, they could return to Earth at any time.

After sending away two of his subordinates, Wang Mang stole someone’s alchemy furnace in Wu Tan City. Well, he did it publicly and openly, so it was more accurate to say that he snatched it.

Of course, no one dared to say anything to him about it.

He was completely using his power to oppress others!

Just like that, Wang Mang spent an entire year learning and practicing alchemy. By the end of that period, he really figured out how to refine pills without a teacher.

Of course, Wang Mang had lost count of how many times his furnace had exploded in the course of that year. However, every time it did, he would go off and steal someone’s furnace to replace it.

In the end, he managed to master refining low, middle and high-grade Tier 1 pills.

These three pills were:

Tier 1 low-grade medicinal pill, Shattering Dust Pill.

Tier 1 middle-grade medicinal pill, Spirit Opening Pill.

Tier 1 high-grade medicinal pill, Barrier Breaking Pill.

As for the rest of the pills, Wang Mang did not know how to refine them. He had bought these three pill formulas from the system for a whopping 10,000 energy points!

What a scam!

This also made Wang Mang understand that if he wanted to obtain a higher level pill formulas after he was done here, he had to head to the Sage Emperor Continent.

This was because the alchemist profession in the Sage Emperor Continent was far more advanced, and even if he studied and became a peak Tier 4 alchemist here, he would not be able to match up to the Tier 4 alchemists there.

“It looks like I have to go back!”

Wang Mang sighed and checked the three-colored teleportation stone, which had been fully charged a long time ago. He had been here for an entire year, but there was nothing challenging about this place to him.

Once he made a breakthrough, he would be able to come back and sweep this world clean. At that time, he would make the place his personal property, and even get its inhabitants to send resources back to Earth.

Thinking this, Wang Mang prepared to use the teleportation stone to return to Earth. However, at this moment, the system’s voice rang out.
