"A low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique!"
"It seems Xiao Zhan has successfully switched to cultivation!"
Chen Yang silently recited the instructions, letting the system automatically convert his battle qi, while Ya Fei acted on her own.
The fully automatic operation made Chen Yang extremely happy.
"Little brother...you...is something making you happy?"
Ya Fei, who had her eyes closed, sensed a change. She opened her eyes and saw Chen Yang smiling. Curious, she asked.
"With a woman as beautiful as Sister Ya Fei, shouldn't I be happy?" Chen Yang crossed his hands under his head so he could see Ya Fei's face better.
"You little rascal, you're so good at making your sister happy!" Ya Fei rode her bike even harder!
...
After obtaining the low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, the original high-level Profound-rank cultivation technique, "Crimson Flame Technique," did not disappear directly. Chen Yang still clearly remembered the contents of this technique.
"Hmm... a little improvement is the right thing to do!"
"In this way, the cultivation technique we acquire can serve as a valuable asset for our family!"
The most traditional Chinese belief is that one should carry on the family line.
Moreover, he is a member of the Chen family, and he carries the bloodline of the Li family on his mother's side.
If you marry multiple wives and have multiple sons and daughters, you need to have a suitable cultivation method to pass it down, right?
The cultivation techniques rewarded by the system are the best among those of the same level. Even the "Burning Technique" that has evolved to the relevant level cannot match the cultivation techniques rewarded by the system in terms of pure combat endurance.
The previous "Crimson Flame Technique" and the current "Blazing Sun True Technique" will become the foundation of the Chen clan in the future!
"It's because after this cultivation technique was upgraded to the Earth Rank, the original Grade 3 medicine cauldron couldn't withstand the scorching flames!"
Chen Yang looked at the medicine cauldron that already had some cracks, and went out to find Gu Ni!
"Teacher, you've arrived?"
Gu Ni looked at Chen Yang and bowed respectfully.
"Are you still using the same medicine cauldron as before?"
Chen Yang asked.
"Yes, teacher, this medicine cauldron was left behind by my deceased mentor."
Gu Ni spoke cautiously, afraid that Chen Yang would think he wasn't loyal enough to Chen Yang.
"It's good to be filial, but this second-grade medicine cauldron is still a bit lacking in the ability to refine third-grade pills!"
"You should get a better one, preferably one of rank four or higher!"
Chen Yang said to Gu Ni.
"Understood, teacher. I will have my family send over a fourth-grade medicine cauldron right away!"
There are only two alchemists of the fifth rank or above in the entire Gama Empire. There is no market for fifth-rank medicine cauldrons in the Gama Empire, and even if there were, they would be very expensive. With Gu Ni's wealth after just being promoted to the third rank alchemist, he is still a bit strapped for cash.
"Um!"
Chen Yang nodded, then turned and left.
...
A few days later, Chen Yang was flipping through a book of low-level Xuan-rank movement techniques and combat skills.
This is the inventory of the Mittel Auction House, which was originally intended to be auctioned off for events such as the 20th anniversary of the auction house, but now it has ended up with Chen Yang.
"Brother Yang!"
Just then, a figure walked in from the front yard, saw the gate open and Chen Yang sitting in the central hall, and waved to greet him.
"Not bad, you've already reached the sixth level of Dou Qi!"
"I suppose the Foundation Establishment Elixir and Body Tempering Pills should be almost used up by now?"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and nodded in satisfaction.
"Without Brother Yang, I wouldn't have been able to break through three levels of Dou Qi in just one and a half months!"
Xiao Yan bowed respectfully, and Chen Yang accepted it without hesitation.
"Here you go, these are ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir for this month!"
"That should be enough for you for a month!"
The rate at which the Foundation Establishment Elixir is consumed will gradually increase as Xiao Yan's strength improves.
Next month, we'll probably need more than fifteen bottles of Foundation Building Elixir!
The speed of advancing to the next level has been reduced by half?
Is the foundation incredibly solid and stable?
That was built with resources!
However, the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Domain era would never have imagined that the user of this Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid would actually have to worry about money.
Xiao Yan paid 500,000 gold coins with a miserable expression.
Fortunately, his teacher had told him to find a way to make money, and he did just that.
Otherwise, after six months of cultivation, let alone two million gold coins, even if Nalan Yanran promised him five million, it wouldn't be enough for him.
"By the way, Yang-ge!"
"The medicinal herbs you instructed me to prepare are ready!"
"I brought them all with me when I came today!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out several portions of medicinal herbs from his storage ring and placed them in front of Chen Yang.
"Um!"
Chen Yang glanced at it and nodded.
This Three-Whirling Breeze Pill is a fourth-grade pill with a simple and direct effect: it can directly raise the cultivation level of a Grand Master of Wind-attribute Battle Qi by three stars.
It was created by an alchemist from an ancient Dou Di family that cultivated wind-attribute Dou Qi.
Products from the Dou Di family are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.
This pill has no side effects. Compared to the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, it is more targeted, but it is more stable. Moreover, the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill has randomness and requires three different special flames to refine.
Chen Yang currently doesn't have any special flames, and the pills he refines are just ordinary Azure Spirit Pills. Using this Three-Whirlwind Breeze Pill would be more suitable!
"You go first..."
Just as Chen Yang was about to tell Xiao Yan to go back first, the system notification sounded in his mind again.
[Ding!]
[The highest-level medicine cauldron detected in Wutan City is a Grade 4 cauldron belonging to Gu Ni. The host has obtained a Grade 5 medicine cauldron!]
In fact, the highest-level medicine cauldron in Wutan City is currently the Black Demon Cauldron of the Medicine Elder.
However, Yao Lao was an outsider, and he didn't pass on the medicine cauldron to Xiao Yan.
If Chen Yang wants to obtain a medicine cauldron of a higher level than the Black Demon Cauldron, he either has to wait for Yao Lao to pass it on to Xiao Yan, or he has to go to the Starfall Pavilion.
Having obtained the new medicine cauldron, Chen Yang did not allow Xiao Yan to return.
"Come with me first. I will refine the pill, and you can take it back to your father!"
Chen Yang then said this.
"Thank you, Brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan nodded emphatically; his father was about to become a nine-star Great Dou Master.
Once I reach the Nine-Star Grand Dou Master level, I can ask my teacher to refine pills that increase the chances of breaking through to Dou Ling. At that time, there will be hope that my father will become a Dou Ling powerhouse!
Xiao Yan followed Chen Yang into the house. Chen Yang instructed two maids to guard the entrance of the courtyard, then waved his hand to take out a new medicine cauldron and began refining pills.
A fifth-grade medicine cauldron?
"Junk!"
Through Xiao Yan's vision, Yao Lao saw the medicine cauldron that Chen Yang had taken out and looked disgusted.
"Keep bragging! I bet you don't even have a medicine cauldron for alchemy, yet you're complaining about my brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan pursed his lips.
"Oh!"
"You wait, when we get back I'll show you what a truly good medicine cauldron is!"
Provoked by Xiao Yan, Yao Lao immediately felt the urge to show off.
He refused to believe that his own resources as a dignified Medicine Venerable and a peak eighth-grade alchemist were inferior to those of a fourth-grade alchemist.
As Chen Yang began refining pills, Xiao Yan watched from the sidelines.
During the alchemy process, Yao Lao would occasionally let out sounds of surprise and doubt, which annoyed Xiao Yan.
If he weren't afraid of disturbing Chen Yang, he really wanted to slap Yao Lao twice across the face.
Although he couldn't draw the soul body, he was no match for Yao Lao!
"This kid has some skill in alchemy; his foundation is very solid!"
"I'm afraid it's not just a fourth-grade alchemist!"
"Old Yao sighed."
"The fifth-grade medicine cauldron that Brother Yang is using must belong to a fifth-grade alchemist!"
Xiao Yan said.
"It's unlikely to be a fifth-grade pill. He's only a Great Dou Master, and I don't think he has any special flames. Refining a fifth-grade pill requires a lot of Dou Qi energy, which would be a huge test of his endurance!"
"unless..."
The old doctor first denied some points, and then mentioned a special condition.
"Unless what?"
Xiao Yan played the straight man at the right moment.
"Unless, he is cultivating an Earth-rank cultivation technique!"
"That's what the old doctor said."
"hiss..."
"Earth Rank!"
Xiao Yan gasped, then thought that Chen Yang was very likely cultivating an Earth-rank technique. After all, how could a young genius like Chen Yang be cultivated if the power did not possess an Earth-rank technique?
Soon, an hour and a half had passed.
"Bang!"
Chen Yang gently tapped the medicine cauldron, and the pill was produced. He put it into a jade bottle and tossed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan hurriedly caught it, looking at Chen Yang with admiration.
"Brother Yang, your alchemy skills are truly amazing!"
Xiao Yan gave a thumbs up.
"Once you become a Fighter, if you want to learn alchemy, I can teach you!"
Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Ah... Brother Yang, I... I already have a teacher!"
Xiao Yan scratched his head. Although he and Yao Lao often bickered, he respected Yao Lao very much.
"All right!"
Chen Yang was just saying it casually; he naturally knew that Xiao Yan had a teacher.
"This pill is called the Three-Whirlwind Pill. Its effect is to directly raise the cultivation level of a Grand Master of Wind-attribute Battle Qi by three stars!"
"When you get back, have your father take it as soon as possible!"
"As for the price of this pill, consider it a favor you owe me!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and said!
"Xiao Yan understands!"
"Thank you, Brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan nodded, his heart also greatly shocked. If this pill were to spread, it would likely cause a huge uproar. If his family had a powerful descendant who was a Great Dou Master with the Wind Attribute, they would probably wear down the threshold of Chen Yang's family.
After thanking Chen Yang again, Xiao Yan first went to Gu Ni to get a month's supply of Body Tempering Pills, and then went back to give the Three-Whirlwind Pills to Xiao Zhan.
Upon hearing that the pill was for him, Xiao Zhan immediately bowed in the direction of the Mittel family.
"Father, you should take it as soon as possible, lest things get complicated!" Xiao Yan urged Xiao Zhan.
"Understood, Father will take it now!" Xiao Zhan nodded.
...
Three hours later, Chen Yang was having dinner in the courtyard when a system notification sounded in his mind!
[Ding!]
[Detected that the strongest person in Wutan City is Xiao Zhan, a nine-star Great Dou Master. Host's strength has increased to two-star Dou Ling!]
"Phew... I'm finally fighting spirits!"
Chen Yang smiled slightly, looked inward at the sea urchin-shaped crystal inside his body, and nodded in satisfaction.
At this point, his schemes in Wutan City had reached their climax!
Among the fourth-grade pills, there are none that can guarantee a person's advancement to the Dou Ling level. Those pills that help increase the chances of advancing to the Dou Ling level require Xiao Zhan to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Great Dou Shi level.
Moreover, this two-star Dou Ling cultivation level is sufficient for now!
In the days that followed, Chen Yang either practiced movement techniques and combat skills or sparred with Ya Fei on riding techniques. Sometimes he would also go to the Xiao family to guide Xiao Ling's cultivation. This little girl had water-attribute fighting qi, and Chen Yang had managed to obtain a mid-level Xuan-rank water-attribute cultivation technique from her.
As for Xiao Yan, the things Nalan Yanran promised didn't arrive until two months later, presumably after she had a fight with her family.
Soon, half a year had passed since Chen Yang arrived on the Dou Qi Continent.
That day, at the Xiao family residence.
After being thoroughly beaten by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan easily broke through to the Dou Zhe level while soaking in the Foundation Establishment Elixir, without even needing to use the Qi Gathering Powder...
