"Thank you, Young Clan Leader, thank you, Young Clan Leader, thank you, Young Clan Leader."
Xiao Ning bowed repeatedly in gratitude. If there weren't so many people around, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yan. In Xiao Ning's heart right now, Xiao Yan was like his own father!
The Second Elder and Third Elder were filled with jealousy. Although they also had grandsons and sons, in terms of potential, age, and cultivation, Xiao Ning was indeed the best candidate. If Xiao Ning could really reach the ninth stage of Dou Qi within a year, he would be among the top ten fastest cultivators in the Xiao Clan's history.
The Great Elder was already beaming with joy, his smile almost reaching his temples.
The reason the Great Elder could quickly determine that the pill was a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder was because he had once obtained a semi-finished Qi Gathering Powder when he was young by chance, and he successfully advanced to Dou Zhe with the help of this semi-finished Qi Gathering Powder.
Without the help of pills, condensing a Qi cyclone could potentially fail, and once it failed, one would fall from the ninth stage of Dou Qi to the eighth stage. This wasted not only time but also a person's youngest and most golden period of cultivation.
Without a doubt, with the Qi Gathering Powder, Xiao Ning's future attainment of Da Dou Shi was a certainty. Reaching a nine-star Da Dou Shi would not be a problem at all, and he might even have the opportunity to reach the Dou Ling realm, which no one in Wutan City had ever achieved! Once the Xiao Clan produced a Dou Ling, the entire Wutan City would belong to the Xiao Clan, and even establishing a sect would not be impossible.
Xiao Zhan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said with an imposing expression, "What happened today must be kept secret. Anyone who utters half a word will be severely punished!"
Whether it was for the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran, or their Xiao Clan, what happened today could be said to be a family scandal. Once it was revealed, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
"Understood, Clan Leader!" *N "Alright, everyone, disperse." Xiao Zhan waved his hand, and all the family disciples left in an orderly manner like an army.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to get up and leave, a jade hand grabbed Xiao Yan's sleeve.
"Xun Er?"
Xun Er took out a bottle of wound medicine, gently applied it to Xiao Yan's wound, and softly asked, "Xiao Yan-gege, you..."
"Hmm?"
Xun Er looked shy and hesitant, she originally wanted to ask Xiao Yan if the sweetheart he mentioned earlier was herself, but she swallowed the words back.
"Xiao Yan-gege, when did you start practicing Dou skills? You're so amazing. No wonder you don't want the Dou skills and cultivation methods Xun Er gave you."
So timid! Xun Er's cheeks were as red as ripe peaches.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then pretended to know nothing and said, "Ah? Dou skills? What Dou skills? I didn't use any Dou skills, I'm just physically stronger."
Xun Er rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Yan's Dou skills were used very subtly, and the circulation of Dou Qi was very fast, making it seem like Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran purely by relying on his physical strength.
But this did not escape Xun Er's eyes.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't Xun Er the same? You disappear for a few days every month, and when you come back, your cultivation improves a lot."
Xun Er imitated Xiao Yan, pretending not to know and said, "Ah? What disappearance? Xun Er just went to the market to buy things."
...
In the evening, after Xiao Yan finished cultivating in the back mountain, he dragged his tired body back to his room and sat on the bed. He gently touched the ring on his hand, and a Dou skill instantly appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.
Storage Ring, a space ring specially used for storing items. This Storage Ring was a relic of Xiao Yan's mother.
The words Eight Extremities Collapse were clearly written on the cover of the Dou skill book.
"Eight Extremities Collapse: Mystic Rank high-level Dou skill, a close-range attack Dou skill, known for its powerful attack. When refined to great perfection, the attack contains eight layers of jingqi, eight layers superimposed, the power is comparable to Earth Rank low-level Dou skill!"
This was the Dou skill Xiao Yan used to defeat Nalan Yanran. Nalan Yanran's defeat was inevitable. Their cultivation levels were similar, but her Dou skill level was not as good as Xiao Yan's, and her mastery of Dou skills was far inferior to Xiao Yan's, so how could she not lose?
Xiao Yan took off his clothes. If one were to describe Xiao Yan's body in one sentence, it would be a body like steel.
Xiao Yan's body was not like the bulging muscles of a bodybuilder, but the muscles of his body were extremely tight, and every muscle in his body was tense.
Ever since Xiao Yan accidentally opened this ring when he was four years old and obtained the Eight Extremities Collapse Dou skill, Xiao Yan had been going to the back mountain almost every day to practice the Eight Extremities Collapse, constantly exercising his body.
After all, the Eight Extremities Collapse did not require too much Dou Qi, but it had high requirements for the user's physical strength.
From running, push-ups, and weightlifting every day at the beginning, to splitting trees with his bare hands later, and now Xiao Yan can leave fist marks on stones without relying on Dou Qi, his strength was obtained step by step.
He had been practicing for a full ten years, but Xiao Yan had not yet reached great perfection.
After Xiao Yan read the cultivation outline of the Eight Extremities Collapse again, he shook his head with a wry smile. To cultivate the eight layers of jingqi, one could only rely on hard work, there was no shortcut.
There was not only one Dou skill in the ring, the number of Dou skills and cultivation methods inside was simply appalling. The lowest-level cultivation methods and Dou skills were Mystic Rank, there were many Earth Rank ones, and even a few legendary Heaven Rank Dou skills.
However, what made Xiao Yan, this genius, shake his head with a wry smile was that he couldn't understand them! He also wanted to cultivate Earth Rank Dou skills and Heaven Rank Dou skills! Most of the Dou skills were like looking at heavenly scriptures to Xiao Yan, and the large number of professional terms and even ancient terms made him dizzy. Moreover, many Dou skills had rigid requirements for the cultivator's cultivation level, and even requirements for the cultivator's cultivation method level and cultivation method attributes.
It was not that Xiao Yan wanted to cultivate the Eight Extremities Collapse, but that it had no requirements for cultivation methods, no requirements for cultivation level, and was a Dou skill that Xiao Yan could understand the cultivation method of, so only the Eight Extremities Collapse remained.
Xiao Yan had also thought about asking his father for guidance on cultivation, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Jade itself is innocent, but to possess it is a crime. Xiao Yan understood this principle in his previous life.
If the matter of the Storage Ring were to spread, not to mention the Xiao Clan, the entire Gama Empire would be plunged into a bloody storm.
"Just enough materials, I'll try refining a grade-2 Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid today."
With a thud, a pill refining furnace was released from the Storage Ring. This pill refining furnace was not originally in the Storage Ring; a low-grade pill refining furnace like this wasn't worthy of entering the ring.
This was a pill refining furnace that Xiao Yan had bought himself from the largest auction house in Wutan City, the Mittel Auction House.
The conditions to become an Alchemist are exceptionally harsh. First, one's own attribute must be fire. Second, within the fire attribute, there must also be a trace of wood energy to act as a catalyst for refining medicine!
In Dou Qi Continent, the attributes of the human body depend on their soul. A soul will always only possess one attribute, and it is impossible for other attributes to be mixed in. Therefore, it is basically impossible for a body to possess two different attributes of varying strengths.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Among billions of people, there will always be some mutated souls, and those with mutated souls have the potential to become an Alchemist!
In addition, Alchemists also need strong soul perception! It was as if Xiao Yan was born to become an Alchemist; he had it all!
Moreover, his soul perception was ridiculously strong.
