Xiao Yan did not immediately return to the Inner Academy, but instead cultivated on the spot.
Mao Wu also sat on Xiao Yan's shoulder, crossing its legs in a surprisingly adept imitation.
After all, a Sixth Grade high-level medicinal pill had just been refined here. As a transmigrator, Xiao Yan possessed the knowledge of nine years of compulsory education, so he knew that molecules are in motion.
That blue pillar of light was the pill mist, and the fragrant aroma that assailed the nostrils was actually a type of energy emitted by the medicinal pill. With the spirit of 'use it if you can, don't waste it,' Xiao Yan began to circulate the Burning Skill to absorb the pill mist scattered in the air.
This could at least be considered a type of pure energy.
And Mao Wu usually pitifully grew up eating these 'leftovers.'
Xiao Yan cultivated until the sun went down and day turned to night before he slowly opened his eyes. A flash of firelight flickered in his eyes as he exhaled a breath.
"My Soul power is stuck at the peak of Sixth Grade..."
Xiao Yan's Soul power had reached Sixth Grade for some time, and he had also obtained a Sixth Grade medicinal pill to enhance his Soul power. But now, even with the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art to cultivate his Soul power, he was still stuck at Sixth Grade.
"After all, this is just a Mystic High-Rank Soul Skill Cultivation Method. Although cultivating it to perfection can provide an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Realm, a Mystic High-Rank Soul Skill is a bit difficult for the stage from Sixth Grade to Seventh Grade."
Xiao Yan knew the importance of Cultivation Methods very well. Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Methods began to become strenuous at the Dou Huang realm. One could imagine that after reaching Seventh Grade Soul power, the improvement of Soul power would be even more difficult.
Don't be fooled by how Xiao Yan's Soul power soared like a rocket before. That was because his level was still low, and a Mystic High-Rank Soul Skill could easily improve his Soul power. In addition, Xiao Yan was born with strong Soul power, so the improvement was even faster.
But after reaching the peak of Sixth Grade, the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art began to feel somewhat inadequate. The main reason Xiao Yan chose the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art in the first place was to covet the opportunity to break through to the Spirit Realm after cultivating it to perfection, allowing him to enter the Spirit Realm from the mortal realm.
The more Spirit Xiao Yan gathered, the greater the chance of breaking through to the Spirit Realm when he reached the peak of Seventh Grade.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up. He was not flustered, because improving Soul power was like improving cultivation. One did not necessarily have to rely on Cultivation Methods to improve. One could rely on medicinal pills and natural treasures.
Otherwise, wouldn't those Alchemists who did not have Soul Skill to cultivate their Souls be unable to improve their Soul power for the rest of their lives?
Miao~~~ "It's time to go back!" Xiao Yan stretched his back and prepared to return.
Not all Cultivation Methods could evolve like the Burning Skill. Finding stronger Cultivation Methods was something that every cultivator often thought about.
Just as he was about to spread his Eagle's Wings to leave, a deafening beast roar, like a thunderclap, suddenly rang out from the distant mountains.
"What a strong roar. Just listening to this sound, it's at least a Dou Wang-level Magical Beast, right?" Xiao Yan was also stunned by the sudden roar. He hurriedly raised his head and looked towards the distant mountains, astonished.
A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's face. Having just finished refining the medicinal pill, Xiao Yan was also slightly curious at this time. He smiled and said, "Go take a look?"
Miao!! Mao Wu raised its head and called out.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled. Wings ejected from his back, and with a slight flap, his figure rose up and shot towards the place where the beast roar sounded.
When he flew to the outside of a Small Mountain Valley, Xiao Yan discovered that a white giant ape with a sturdy body of three to four zhang was standing upright. The white ape exuded a sharp, icy aura. Its arms were quite slender, and its claws were as large as two adult heads. Occasionally, when its claws moved, several gusts of wind shot out fiercely.
The giant beast's pair of blood-red eyes were filled with rage and killing intent. At this time, it was staring fiercely at the six figures around it.
"Hmm? This is a Snow Demon Sky Ape. Judging from this aura, it's at least a three-star Dou Wang." At a glance, Xiao Yan was surprised to see the giant ape at the entrance of the valley that attracted the most attention.
"It's also interesting. Those six guys are really bold."
Xiao Yan focused his eyes and found that the six people were all Inner Academy students, and two of them were in the top ten of the Strong Ranking List.
Lin Xiuya, ranked second, and Yan Hao, ranked fifth, and the rest were all strong individuals in the top twenty of the Inner Academy.
Xiao Yan also recognized the only woman among them. It was Han Yue, whom he had met when he first entered the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower. After more than half a year of cultivation, Han Yue had now reached the strength of a seven-star Dou Ling. Although her improvement was not as good as Xiao Yan's, it was not slow compared to other students.
Watching the crowd below fighting the Snow Demon Sky Ape from the air, Xiao Yan stroked his chin and thought, "Where there are powerful Magical Beasts, there are mostly natural treasures. Moreover, this place is not too far from the Inner Academy. With Zi Yan's treasure-hunting talent, she should have discovered this place long ago."
Looking at the six people below who were evenly matched with the Snow Demon Sky Ape, Xiao Yan revealed a strange expression.
Because according to Xiao Yan's understanding of Zi Yan, either the natural treasure here was not suitable for her, so she did not come to snatch it, or she could not beat it.
Several times, Zi Yan ran to provoke Sixth Order Magical Beasts and came back with a bruised nose and swollen face, and Xiao Yan had to use the Yin-Yang Dual Flame to heal her.
"Stupid humans, don't even think about taking the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk. Retreat now, and I may spare you!" The Snow Demon Sky Ape raised its huge head, its blood-red eyes staring fixedly at the few people. After a moment of silence, a low, violent voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and even he was shocked.
Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, this is a treasure! It has the magical effect of washing marrow and refining bones. Moreover, because of the extremely pure and vast power of the earth, it even has a very small chance of helping some people who have reached the peak of their level to break through the barrier between advancement.
"If it's Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, there's no reason for Zi Yan to not want it. That means the Snow Demon Sky Ape's strength is something that even Zi Yan can't beat one-on-one, so she gave up."
As expected, when the two sides fought to the limit, the Snow Demon Sky Ape suddenly erupted with the power of its bloodline, and its eyes instantly turned scarlet.
An extremely blurred red light flashed out. This speed was terrifyingly astonishing, and everyone was stunned for a moment under this terrifying speed. Then, their faces changed drastically. Without anyone calling out, each of them fled in a hurry like rabbits.
"Han Yue, run!" Seeing that the Snow Demon Sky Ape's target was Han Yue, Yan Hao and the others were stunned, and then hurriedly shouted.
Among so many people, Han Yue's strength was the weakest. It was estimated that she provided the information here.
Roar!! After the Snow Demon Sky Ape erupted with its berserk Blood Qi, its strength soared to Advanced Dou Wang. No wonder that Zi Yan girl was unwilling to fight it desperately.
In this flash of lightning, Han Yue did not panic and lose her composure. Instead, she tried her best to seek that tiny chance of survival in desperation.
In an instant, Dou Qi solidified, and an ice shield blocked her in front.
Just when everyone thought that this beautiful white rose would wither mercilessly, a ray of fire flew from the sky.
With a bang, Xiao Yan used the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler to blast the Snow Demon Sky Ape's body away a little, and that fatal punch barely brushed past Han Yue's side. But even if it just brushed past, a gust of wind still blew Han Yue away.
With a snap, Han Yue suddenly felt her body lighten. When she took a closer look, she realized that Xiao Yan was holding her steadily.
Xiao Yan looked down at the beautiful face in his arms, which was originally cold and beautiful, but now looked pitiful. Although it was extremely comfortable to hold that soft and slender waist, under the gaze of those eyes not far away, he could only straighten her up and said with a light smile, "Senior Han Yue, are you okay?"
"You are Xiao Yan?" Han Yue's unbelievable voice came from her red lips.
Xiao Yan just smiled and said nothing. Instead, he turned his head to look at the giant ape that was red all over and emitting heat.
"Although the berserk Blood Qi can overdraft the physical strength to the limit, it also means that it will lose its mind. Everyone, I will control it for a while. Whether you can successfully obtain the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk depends on your strength!" Xiao Yan took a step forward and said using Soul Transmission.
The six people looked at each other and nodded secretly. They thought they would return empty-handed, but they didn't expect Xiao Yan to appear in the end.
Roar, thump thump thump! The Snow Demon Sky Ape beat its chest, making thump thump thump sounds. Its whole body's Blood Qi erupted, and it immediately locked onto Xiao Yan, who had ruined its good deeds.
It turned into a red shadow and rushed over at an extremely fast speed, wanting to smash Xiao Yan into meat paste with one punch.
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame in Xiao Yan's body erupted, and the Dragon Qi in his body was activated and strengthened. Immediately, after taking a deep breath, he let out a deafening dragon roar at the Snow Demon Sky Ape that was rushing towards him.
Woooo!!!!!!!!! Boom boom boom!!! The terrifying dragon roar slammed into the Snow Demon Sky Ape like a shock wave.
The Ancient Dragon's Roar, which originally had Dragon Qi and was activated by the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, was completely like the roar of a real Void Ancient Dragon.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape, whose eyes were scarlet and had lost its mind, actually showed horror in its eyes at this time, covering its ears in pain.
"Azure Whirlwind Slash!"
"Iceberg Fall!"
Seeing Xiao Yan roar and stop the Snow Demon Sky Ape in its berserk state, the other six also knew that the opportunity could not be missed, and they all exhausted all their Dou Qi to unleash their most powerful Dou Techniques.
After all, they were all top experts in the Inner Academy, and they had obtained very rich resources. Even Lin Xiuya's Dou Technique faintly had the power of Earth Rank.
"Eight Extremities Collapse!"
Xiao Yan took a step forward and punched the Snow Demon Sky Ape's heart, directly establishing the victory!
Seeing the giant ape fall to the ground, even Lin Xiuya, who had reached the strength of a Half-Step Dou Wang, couldn't help but cheer.
"Good!"
"You kid are really amazing. No wonder you can lead the entire Medicine Gang."
All the Strong Ranking List experts looked at Xiao Yan one after another. They didn't expect that in just half a year, Xiao Yan's cultivation had reached such a level. It seemed that there would be another strong opponent in the Strong Ranking Tournament more than a month later.
Han Yue sighed and stared at Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes, saying, "Half a year ago, you were still a freshman. I didn't expect that your strength is now even stronger than mine."
She still remembered that half a year ago, Xiao Yan didn't even know how to get down to the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower. Now, his strength had undoubtedly surpassed her.
Han Yue used the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower to advance one star in half a year, while Xiao Yan was not only amazing in Alchemy, but his cultivation had also increased from Three-Star Dou Ling to Seven-Star Dou Ling, four times faster than her!
Facing the beautiful woman in front of him, whose beauty was famous throughout the Inner Academy, Xiao Yan just smiled faintly.
"Don't say so much, it's time to harvest."
