Xiao Yixian stood on tiptoe, kissed Xiao Jue gently on the lips, and said, "I want to go to the Chuyun Empire."
"That's the land of poison masters. There, my Hell Poison Body can quickly strengthen, and then I can help you."
Xiao Jue didn't deny Xiao Yixian. If she went to the Chuyun Empire, she could indeed become stronger quickly, reaching Dou Zong in just a few years.
Although the Hell Poison Body was extremely threatening, with the potential for an outbreak starting at the Dou Zong level, it could be sealed, and after concentrating a poison pill, she could directly break through to Dou Zun.
At that time, Xiao Jue and Xiao Yixian practiced the Yin-Yang Art, and the benefits of their combined yin and yang were even greater.
Xiao Jue said, "In the Chuyun Empire, your physique will allow you to avoid all danger. If you encounter any trouble, come to me in the Jia Ma Empire. If I'm not there, go to Canaan Academy. I won't go anywhere else."
"Okay," Xiao Yixian nodded.
Giving Xiao Jue a deep look, Xiao Yixian turned and walked out of the hut. A blue eagle's cry echoed through her. By the time Xiao Jue left, Xiao Yixian had already departed, perched on its back.
Xiao Jue and Xiao Yixian didn't exchange much, but the combination of his lifesaving grace and his recognition of her captivated her, and she would return to him again.
"You're truly remarkable,"
Yao Lao's spirit form appeared beside Xiao Jue, sighing, "You killed the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a female Dou Huang, and even battled the Evil Poison Body, and now you're an Eight-Star Grand Dou Master."
Xiao Jue smiled, "If I take the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and the Qi Gathering Pill, I can break through to the Dou Ling realm."
Yao Lao chuckled, "That's a breakthrough to the fourth-tier Magical Beast realm."
Xiao Jue remained noncommittal. When he obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, they would all be filled with envy.
Xiao Jue asked, "How's Xiao Yan doing?"
Yao Lao smiled and said, "He took a Qi-boosting pill, and with the training he's received during this period, he's already a seven-star fighter."
"Then, has Yao Lao done any research on the Companion Purple Crystal Source?" Xiao Jue said, "I've obtained a Companion Purple Crystal Source. Yao Lao can try to deduce a pill formula."
Yao Lao immediately laughed and said, "I'm the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou, not the number one alchemist on the continent. Do you really think I'm Yao Dan? I can just research a pill formula for you."
"But the Companion Purple Crystal Source... do you have the magic core and corpse of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?" Yao Lao raised an eyebrow and asked, "The Companion Purple Crystal Source is a fire-attributed spiritual liquid. If you can have the magic core and essence of a sixth-level Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, combined with the corresponding medicinal herbs to neutralize it, there's a high probability that you can refine a top-level sixth-grade pill, with a small chance of refining a seventh-grade pill."
"Yes." Xiao Jue nodded and said happily, "Then what other medicinal herbs does Yao Lao need?"
"Divine Fire Ganoderma, Thousand Origin Fruit, Earth Life Fruit, Bailing Grass..."
Yao Lao rattled off the names of over fifty herbs. Xiao Jue carefully checked his ring and discovered that three were missing.
"Then replace them with..."
Xiao Jue found the replacement herbs and handed them to Yao Lao. He also took out the remains of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, its magic core, and the orb containing the accompanying Amethyst Origin.
"Alright, leave the rest to me."
Yao Lao, clutching the Companion Purple Crystal Source, couldn't help but sigh, "I once ventured into the caves of eight Purple Crystal Winged Lion Kings, but couldn't find this thing. I never thought you'd find it."
Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Yao Lao. I'll go refine the Qi-Gathering Pill."
Having broken through to the level of an Eight-Star Great Fighter, Xiao Jue also wanted to try refining a fifth-grade elixir. He was currently practicing low-level Earth-grade techniques, and his soul power was in the late Mortal Realm, comparable to a sixth-grade alchemist. The probability of success was not low.
Yao Lao weighed the sphere in his hand and said, "I'll give Xiao Yan one-fifth of the Companion Purple Crystal Source. Is that okay? If he takes it directly, it should be enough for Xiao Yan to form the Beast Fire of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King."
"No problem," Xiao Jue nodded. After all, it wouldn't affect Yao Lao's ability to refine the elixir for him.
Xiao Jue suddenly asked, "Yao Lao, I'm now a Phantom Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast. Is it okay for me to consume the Companion Purple Crystal Source?"
Yao Lao scoffed, "You can even consume a Rank Six Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and his magic core raw, let alone elixirs made with the Companion Purple Crystal Source. You should treat yourself like a magical beast."
Xiao Jue gave an awkward smile and nodded. He then returned to the hut, retrieved the Yin-Yang Cauldron, and prepared to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.
This was Xiao Jue's first attempt at refining a fifth-grade elixir. Thanks to Yun Yun's help, Xiao Jue achieved a four-star breakthrough within two weeks. Otherwise, his Dou Qi wouldn't have been sufficient to refine a fifth-grade elixir.
As two days passed, a fragrant aroma wafted from the Yin-Yang Cauldron. Xiao Jue removed the jade bottle to store the Qi Gathering Pill. After taking a Qi Restoring Pill to restore his Dou Qi, he took the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and began his breakthrough.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xiao Jue's Dou Qi (Battle Qi) constantly shifted. Soon, with a physique comparable to a fifth-tier magical beast, he easily absorbed the power of the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, achieving a breakthrough to the
rank of Nine-Star Grand Dou Master. Xiao Jue then took the Qi-Nailing Pill, quickly achieving a breakthrough to the rank of One-Star Dou Ling, essentially becoming a fourth-tier magical beast!
At that moment, Xiao Jue keenly sensed dark clouds gathering in the sky. Streaks of silvery-white lightning descended upon the valley, only to be dispelled by the wave of a phantom, elderly figure.
Xiao Jue's eyes lit up. "He truly refined a seventh-grade elixir!"
He had no doubt that Yao Lao's current abilities were capable of refining a seventh-grade elixir. This old man could probably even create an eighth-grade elixir. He simply created a recipe on the spot and refined a seventh-grade elixir, truly worthy of being called a Medicine Venerable.
If it weren't for Han Feng's entrapment, even if Yao Lao hadn't reached Dou Sheng, he would have already become a ninth-grade alchemist over the years.
As the calamity clouds dissipated, Yao Lao descended from the sky. With a flick of his finger, Xiao Jue grasped a purple pill.
Yao Lao proudly declared, "This is a seventh-grade, high-level pill. I've named it the Purple Crystal Pill. Its effects are unclear at this time, but it's suitable for those with Fire-attributed Dou Qi, at least Dou Wang cultivation."
"Furthermore, I suspect that a sixth-grade Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could directly break through to the seventh rank if he took the Purple Crystal Pill. It's best if you take this pill at the peak of Dou Huang, breaking through the bottleneck and becoming a Dou Zong."
"Thank you, Yao Lao," Xiao Jue said with a bow. "Then, Yao Lao, when can I refine my Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Yao Lao said, feeling both amused and helpless. "Wait a little longer. Even if you have the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill now, you can't consume it. I'll definitely refine it for you before we leave the Warcraft Mountain Range."
