Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
After taking Yao Lao as his master and his Dou Zhi Qi stopped draining, Xiao Yan recovered his talent once again.
Starting from the Eighth Stage Dou Zhi Qi, in just three days, he returned to the Ninth Stage Dou Zhi Qi.
Seeing this, Yao Lao did not even know whether he should mention his Foundation Establishment Elixir.
He felt that with Xiao Yan’s talent, even without the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he could quickly return to being a Dou Practitioner.
Instead of spending time and effort refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it would be better to start gathering the medicinal ingredients for the Qi Gathering Powder to help Xiao Yan break through to a Dou Practitioner with one hundred percent certainty.
To this, Xiao Yan’s reply was.
It still needs to be refined.
Although he no longer had any use for the Foundation Establishment Elixir, this item was extremely valuable and had a very low cost.
Taking it to an auction to exchange for money was an excellent choice.
After Xiao Yan’s persuasion, Yao Lao chose to continue refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
Over the years, Xiao Yan had saved up some money, and the amount was not small.
All of this money came from him selling some Body Refining medicinal baths.
The medicinal bath formula naturally came from that Dou Di’s Legacy, and it was the lowest-grade medicinal bath that could be effective for both Dou Zhi Qi and Dou Practitioners.
The medicinal bath formula had now been handed over by him to the Xiao Family.
Relying on the medicinal bath formula, whereas the Xiao Family was faintly suppressed by the Jialie Family in the original book, they had now suppressed them back, and even if the Jialie Family and Aobo Family joined forces, they were no match for them.
According to the information Xiao Yan received, these two families even had plans to leave Wutan City.
As for the specific details, he no longer cared.
To him, these were all external things; rapidly breaking through to a Dou Practitioner was the most important thing.
Of course, because his Meridians were fragile during the Dou Zhi Qi stage, his daily cultivation time was fixed, so he still had quite a bit of free time.
During these times, he followed Yao Lao to learn some basic knowledge and techniques of alchemy, laying the foundation for becoming an Alchemist.
Because he was not like the Xiao Yan in the original book who worried about his cultivation, he put more energy into learning alchemy.
The Xiao Yan in the original book already had alchemy talent that was at the top of the Fighting Qi Continent, and he now possessed even stronger Soul talent, superior Soul perceptivity, and was not inferior to the original in other aspects either.
Taken as a whole, his alchemy talent was the very best among the top.
His alchemy techniques, medicinal material identification, and Soul control were all rapidly improving.
Yao Lao, as his instructor, was greatly satisfied because of this, frequently wearing a gratified smile.
…
Three days later.
The back mountain of the Xiao Family
Xiao Yan closed his eyes to meditate peacefully, absorbing the Qi between heaven and earth to enhance his Dou Zhi Qi.
The Ninth Stage Dou Zhi Qi inside his body had reached Perfection, and at this moment, as he poured Dou Zhi Qi into it once again, it faintly underwent a qualitative change.
Time ticked away second by second.
Just at a certain instant.
The faint Dou Zhi Qi inside his body moved according to his will, swirling frantically within him.
Xiao Yan’s expression changed, and he rapidly formed hand seals, guiding the Dou Zhi Qi to surge towards his lower abdomen, controlling it to condense into a Dou Qi vortex.
The powerful Soul Power played its role at this moment.
That faint Dou Zhi Qi was compressed by the Soul Power, acting like an obedient puppy that obeyed whatever was said out of submission, successfully condensing into a complete Dou Qi vortex.
“Dou Practitioner, it’s done!”
Yao Lao, who was observing from the side, wore a full face of smiles.
Because his Soul Power was powerful, Xiao Yan had not let him refine the Qi Gathering Powder.
He had originally been somewhat worried that Xiao Yan was being overconfident, but looking at it now, he had truly underestimated Xiao Yan.
With this kind of Soul Power talent, being able to take such a disciple, he truly had great fortune.
“Teacher.”
Xiao Yan felt his cultivation returning to the level of a Dou Practitioner and smiled with satisfaction.
Until now, he could finally begin to Cultivate the Body Refining Cultivation Technique brought by that Dou Di’s Legacy.
“Little fellow, congratulations, you’ve broken through to a Dou Practitioner,” Yao Lao said.
Xiao Yan laughed and said, “That still requires thanking Teacher for finally not sucking my Dou Zhi Qi anymore.”
Yao Lao awkwardly touched his beard and changed the subject, saying, “Ahem, let’s not talk about these unhappy things.
Now that you’ve broken through to a Dou Practitioner, have you thought about your choice of Cultivation Technique?”
Xiao Yan said, “That depends on what highest Rank of Cultivation Technique Teacher has.
I’m sure Teacher must have already prepared a Cultivation Technique for me to Cultivate.”
Yao Lao did not deny it and took out two scrolls, saying, “Of course I’ve prepared it for you.”
“I have two Cultivation Techniques here.
One is an Earth Rank Low-Tier, which is most suitable for you right now.
Once your cultivation grows to a certain level, this master still has a fire-attribute Earth Rank High-Tier Cultivation Technique here, which is enough for you to Cultivate to a very high Rank.”
“As for the other scroll, it is a Yellow Rank Low-Tier fire-attribute Cultivation Technique that I named Burning Technique, which this master found from an ancient Immortal Cave.”
“Although this Cultivation Technique starts at Yellow Rank Low-Tier, according to the description on the Cultivation Technique, it can devour different kinds of flames to evolve, such as Beast Fire and the extremely rare Heavenly Flames between heaven and earth.”
“The former path is the smoothest, while the latter has a higher upper limit.
You must think about it carefully,” Yao Lao said solemnly.
Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all: “I choose Burning Technique!”
Yao Lao was stunned: “You brat, did you not listen to what I was saying at all?
Although this Cultivation Technique can evolve, absorbing different kinds of flames has extremely high danger.”
To this, Xiao Yan simply grinned: “Teacher, I prefer a bit of excitement.”
“And…”
“You should be able to tell, right?
Xiao Xun Er, her background is very extraordinary.”
“If I want to be worthy of her, I must take a gamble.”
Xiao Yan feigned deep affection, finding a quite good reason.
Therefore, Yao Lao did not ask further, only nodding and saying: “Try cultivating it first.
If this Burning Technique really doesn’t work out, it’s not too late to switch to another Cultivation Technique, it will just waste a bit of time.”
An agreement was reached, and Yao Lao handed Burning Technique to Xiao Yan.
“Alright, Cultivation Technique cultivation can be discussed tomorrow; today you haven’t studied your alchemy yet,” Yao Lao urged.
“I know, I know.”
Xiao Yan put away the Burning Technique, and with a cheeky smile, began today’s alchemy cultivation.
…
After breaking through to a Dou Practitioner, Xiao Yan rapidly began the cultivation of the Heaven Rank High-Tier Body Refining Technique.
This Body Refining Cultivation Technique from Dou Di’s Legacy was named Spirit-Devouring Body Refining Formula, which could devour Demonic Beast blood essence and various treasures of heaven and earth to rapidly enhance Physical Body strength.
The Cultivation Technique was divided into ten stages, from Dou Practitioner to Dou Di.
Upon reaching each new stage, one could awaken an innate ability belonging uniquely to oneself based on the Demonic Beast blood essence and treasures of heaven and earth absorbed during that period.
Xiao Yan’s Physical Body was now comparable to a Tier 2 Demonic Beast, having already reached the second stage of the Cultivation Technique.
However, because he had not yet formally cultivated the Cultivation Technique, he had not awakened his innate ability.
However, this did not mean he could not make up for the two missing innate abilities.
As long as he went to absorb Demonic Beast blood essence and treasures of heaven and earth, he could awaken his innate ability.
“Innate abilities cannot be settled for casually.
It’s not that the Xiao Family cannot get the blood essence of ordinary Tier 2 or even Tier 3 Demonic Beasts, but getting them is useless to me.”
“Unless it is the blood essence of the Void Ancient Dragon or other top-tier Demonic Beasts, my innate ability will only be awakened using Heavenly Flames!”
Xiao Yan said inwardly.
Of course, Awakening an innate ability was one thing; it did not prevent him from using the characteristics of Demonic Beast blood essence and treasures of heaven and earth absorbed via the Spirit-Devouring Body Refining Formula to rapidly enhance his Physical Body.
Right now, he knew where both of those things existed, and they were just right for him.
Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and its accompanying purple crystal source!
