[Got up early today and waited at the Xiao Clan marketplace.
As expected, Xun Er came here to shop just as in my memory and was pestered by Jia Lie Ao.
Xiao Yan, who happened to be looking for a Tier 1 wood-attribute monster crystal in the marketplace, encountered them and spoke up to help.
(Checkmark)] Clearly, Chu Xiao was still verifying the authenticity of his own rebirth, being cautious to a terrifying degree.
[In the previous life, Xiao Yan and Jia Lie Ao engaged in a war of words.
I arrived after receiving word just as the latter was about to make a move and drove him away.] [In this life, I waited in advance and struck directly at the first moment the incident occurred, severely injuring the man and pinning the blame on him…
(Recording the events of the morning)] The women: “…” You really know how to play.
[The Jia Lie Clan and the Oba Clan were once small families subordinate to the Xiao Clan in Wu Tan City, yet they chose to betray us after the Xiao Clan suffered a great upheaval, taking the opportunity to seize many of the Xiao Clan’s industries near the city.
They are ungrateful wolves.] [Now that I have returned through rebirth, even with only a Dou Shi cultivation, I do not fear them.
Besides, I will soon be able to refine medicinal pills to help my Aunt recover from her injuries.
With her strength as a Dou Ling and my cooperation, suppressing the two clans will be no problem at all.] “Refining medicinal pills?” “Recovering from a Dou Ling’s injuries?” The women’s gazes shifted once more.
Chu Xiao’s words were just a casual recording of his mood, but they revealed important information.
He was actually an Alchemist!
“No wonder Brother Chu Xiao acted a bit recklessly today; he was already prepared.” In a gazebo with a unique view within the Xiao Clan, Xun Er had just sat down after smoothing her skirt when she received a notification of a journal update.
“But Brother Chu Xiao’s Dou Qi attribute is a mix of lightning and wind.” “How is he going to refine medicine?” With doubt, Xun Er continued to flip through the journal.
[After teaching Jia Lie Ao a lesson, I took the opportunity to buy everything a stall owner was selling.] [In the previous life, Xiao Yan bought a monster crystal at this stall for five hundred gold coins and asked for a black iron plate as a throw-in.] [At that time, I thought he overpaid, but the next day he obtained a Mystery-rank Low-level Dou Technique from that black iron plate, which made me feel slapped in the face.] “A Mystery-rank Low-level Dou Technique!?” The expressions of the women who possessed the copies all changed.
On the Dou Qi Continent, the importance of Dou Techniques was no less than that of Dou Qi cultivation methods.
Mastering a profound Dou Technique allowed a practitioner to exert stronger combat power during battle.
Dou Techniques, like cultivation methods, are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow.
Ordinary people can mostly only access High-level Yellow-rank items on the market; stronger ones require joining a faction to obtain.
However, the Dou Qi Continent is vast; there will always be some methods and techniques lost or left behind for some reason, only to be obtained by a lucky individual in the future—like this black iron plate Chu Xiao intercepted from Xiao Yan.
People currently at the bottom, like Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, were simply shocked that Chu Xiao could so easily obtain a Mystery-rank Low-level Dou Technique, essentially making a huge profit out of nothing.
But for Feng Qing Er, Xun Er, Yun Yun, and the others, they clearly realized the terror of Chu Xiao’s future memories.
He could find and intercept many natural treasures and ancestral inheritances of the Dou Qi Continent in advance.
Not only that, he also knew the weaknesses and personalities of many people.
It was truly…
terrifying.
[This Dou Technique is called Vacuum Palm.
It was left inside the black iron plate by an Alchemist and requires strong enough Soul Perception to obtain the inheritance.
Cultivating it to Great Success allows one to suck in a thousand-jin boulder.
If an enemy encounters its fierce suction, it can even forcibly pull the blood out of a human body.] [The strongest Dou Technique shown on the surface by the Xiao Clan is only Mystery-rank Medium-level, which only my Uncle and a few elders can cultivate.
A technique of this level is already very precious, but it is nothing to the current me.
However, it is suitable for Xiao Yan, whose cultivation is currently low.] [Once he reaches the Dou Zhe rank, I will give him even stronger Dou Techniques.
Setting a small goal: defeat Nalan Yanran in one move three years from now.] Yun Yun: “…” She felt a bit sorry for her disciple now.
“Honored guest, may I ask if you have any needs?” Two maids from the Mittel Auction House walked forward with professional smiles on their faces.
“Give me the best room.” Yun Yun flipped her wrist, and a card appeared between her fingertips.
This was a VIP card issued by the Mittel family to honored guests, allowing them to enjoy many benefits at the Mittel Auction House.
“This way, Great One.” The two maids’ breathing hitched, and they immediately changed their form of address.
One was responsible for taking Yun Yun to her room, while the other went to find Ya Fei, the person in charge of the auction house in Wu Tan City.
An important figure they couldn’t handle had arrived today!
[The cultivation of this Vacuum Palm technique…] [The method of cultivation is…] [The path of Dou Qi circulation is…] After Yun Yun checked into the VIP room, she continued to read the journal while eating the fruit brought by the maid.
To make it feel more real, she even summoned the physical entity of the copy that only she could see and manually flipped the pages.
“Why is he writing down the cultivation method for a Dou Technique?” Yun Yun finished reading the latest content, feeling slightly speechless.
She wanted to peek at more intelligence; she had no interest in a Mystery-rank Low-level Dou Technique.
[As expected, writing down cultivation methods and insights also helps recover memories.] [And I don’t even need to record it specifically; a bit of distraction allows the journal to complete the recording on its own.] [Then in the future, when I cultivate methods, techniques, secret arts, or re-familiarize myself with alchemy, I can record the insights at any time.] [This is simply a great way to pad the word count; I don’t have to specifically record my daily life.] The women: “…” Although they had never heard the phrase “padding the word count,” they somehow understood its meaning now.
Chu Xiao was happy because he found a way to be lazy, but they were very unhappy.
Compared to dry and dull cultivation insights, they wanted to hear gossip—wait, no, obtain intelligence.
But in the next moment, that thought changed.
After reading the journal carefully once, they were surprised to find some information surfacing in their minds.
Without any accident, they had successfully initiated the “Vacuum Palm” Mystery-rank Low-level Dou Technique.
“Vacuum Palm!” In Cao City of the Alchemist Region, Cao Ying was multitasking by refining medicine and reading the journal in her bedroom when she suddenly extended her hand toward a table to one side.
Dou Qi left her body, transforming into a gust of fierce wind.
After wrapping around several medicinal herbs, they returned to her hand.
“It really works, it’s not an illusion!” Cao Ying’s smile was brilliant; she jumped up happily and clapped her hands together.
She had great talent and high-level cultivation methods, so her cultivation speed was far ahead of her peers, and her realm was decent.
However, to become an excellent Alchemist, she had been learning to identify medicinal herbs, memorizing formulas, mastering fire control, and enhancing soul power since childhood.
This resulted in her not having much time to practice Dou Techniques, making her slightly lacking in combat methods.
But now, relying on this journal copy treasure, as long as she read Chu Xiao’s insights on learning a Dou Technique, she could easily achieve initiation.
When she practiced it herself later, she would get twice the result with half the effort.
Furthermore, she initiated it after just one reading; perhaps reading it a few more times could even increase her proficiency?
She didn’t care for a Mystery-rank Low-level Dou Technique, but when Chu Xiao recorded Earth-rank or Heaven-rank techniques and methods in the future, or even cultivation methods from the Great Thousand World, that would be a heaven-defying opportunity.
This wasn’t padding the word count; this was clearly benefit time.
Was this the “benefits to be explored on your own” mentioned in the copy rules?
“Chu Xiao, this Young Miss is starting to like you a little.” (END CHAPTER) CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Blue_Silver1 Thank you for the support, friends.
