As Venerable Yao finished speaking.
He flicked his fingers, and three streaks of light suddenly appeared at his fingertips, sinking into the grass by the cliff edge.
"Use your Soul perception to track their trajectories and see how strong your current Soul Power is."
Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
He half-closed his eyes, his hair moving without wind.
In just a few breaths, the light beneath the three Dragon Blood Grass plants on the right side lit up first.
Immediately afterward, a faint glow also appeared in the thicket of thorns a hundred meters away.
"Found them!"
Xiao Yi was the first to use his Soul Power to locate the three streaks of light released by Venerable Yao.
Although Xiao Yan was a bit slower, he also accurately and unerringly located the light.
Seeing this, Venerable Yao nodded in satisfaction.
Judging from Venerable Yao's reaction, it was clear that the Soul perception of both Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan met the requirements for alchemy.
The next second, three Star Spirit Grass plants slid out of Venerable Yao's sleeve.
The pure white leaves gleamed with a pearly luster in the twilight.
"Now, tell me which one has absorbed moonlight."
As Venerable Yao finished speaking.
Xiao Yan immediately moved closer, his nose almost touching the grass blade, but aside from a faint bitter scent, he found nothing else.
The moment Xiao Yan closed his eyes, his Soul Power seeped into the medicinal plant like spider silk, and he suddenly discovered silver specks of light circulating between the veins of one of the Star Spirit Grass plants.
"This one."
Xiao Yi lightly tapped his fingertip, and the Star Spirit Grass suddenly trembled violently, the dew condensed on its leaves splashing into a fine rain of light.
Yao Chen's hand, which was stroking his beard, paused slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
A Soul capable of resonating with medicinal Materials!
He had not seen this for nearly several hundred years.
Coupled with that perfectly matched Fire and Wood Dou Zhi Qi, wasn't this a pure alchemy Genius!
Sensing Venerable Yao's astonishment, Xiao Xuan, who was inside Xiao Yi's storage ring, reappeared.
He nodded with great satisfaction: "As expected of the descendant I favor. This Soul talent is comparable to mine back in the day!"
Venerable Yao was also beaming: "Senior, this child's future prospects are bound to be limitless!"
Xiao Xuan nodded, then looked at Venerable Yao and said.
"Venerable Yao, I wonder if you have a Medicinal Pill that can improve a Dou Practitioner's physical constitution for Cultivation..."
"Although this Little Fellow has good talent, he hasn't been nourished by medicinal liquid since childhood, so his physical constitution is a bit lacking..."
Hearing this, Venerable Yao quickly nodded.
"Coincidentally, I have a Pill Formula for a fourth-grade pill that can help improve the physical constitution and Meridians of a Dou Practitioner-level cultivator..."
Immediately, a scroll flew out from Venerable Yao's sleeve.
"A fourth-grade pill!?"
Hearing the words "fourth-grade," a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan.
After all, growing up in small places like the Xiao Family and Wutan City, a fourth-grade pill was considered a high-grade Medicinal Pill to them.
Xiao Xuan, however, nodded: "A fourth-grade, that's just right..."
After all, the maximum grade of Medicinal Pill a Dou Practitioner could consume was only fourth-grade. Otherwise, the medicinal effect would be too strong, and there was a high possibility of being unable to absorb it, leading to the body exploding.
"The fourth-grade pill: meridian-opening spirit rhyme pill!"
"This is the Pill Formula. As long as the Materials are gathered, this Junior can refine it at any time..."
Venerable Yao waved lightly, and the Pill Formula immediately slid into Xiao Yi's hand.
It was written on the scroll:
[meridian-opening spirit rhyme pill, mid-tier fourth-grade.]
[Materials: purple ginseng, meridian unveiling vine, Condensing Flower (over a hundred years old), and a second-tier Demonic Beast beast core.]
Looking at the Materials listed on the Pill Formula, both Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan unconsciously swallowed.
Because the medicinal Materials listed were not simple and not cheap. For the two of them, acquiring these Materials would be somewhat strenuous.
One might even say difficult. In comparison, the second-tier beast core actually became the simplest Material.
As long as they went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, with Xiao Xuan's strength, he could simply blow a breath and the beast core would be obtained.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then put away the Pill Formula.
Xiao Xuan then said in a deep voice.
"Little Fellow, remember to gather the Materials as quickly as possible!"
After speaking, he slightly turned his head and looked at Venerable Yao.
"I will trouble Venerable Yao then..."
Venerable Yao bowed slightly: "Senior, you exaggerate. It is merely a small effort..."
Xiao Xuan appeared again and looked at Xiao Yi.
"Little Fellow, don't forget to gather two sets of Materials!"
"Xiao Yan's situation is similar to yours. He will also need this Medicinal Pill when he reaches the Dou Practitioner level..."
Hearing Xiao Xuan say this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.
Xiao Xuan truly deserved to have been a Clan Chief; he knew how to treat everyone equally...
Three months flew by quickly, and most of the time had already passed.
Only a month and a half remained until the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
During this period, Xiao Yi followed Venerable Yao during the day to learn alchemy, and at night, he Cultivated his Cultivation Technique and familiarized himself with Dou Techniques under Xiao Xuan's guidance.
He was so busy that he couldn't spare any time, so the matter of gathering the medicinal Materials was temporarily put aside.
Because before the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, the Xiao Family had one more assessment.
Only those whose strength was above the seventh stage of Dou Zhi Qi could enter the Dou Zhi Qi Pavilion after the Coming-of-Age Ceremony to select a Cultivation Technique and continue their Cultivation and studies.
Those below the seventh stage of Dou Zhi Qi would lose their qualification to Cultivate after the Coming-of-Age Ceremony and could only enter the businesses under the Xiao Family's banner.
Xiao Yi planned to gather all the medicinal Materials on the day of the assessment.
And today was the day of the assessment.
"Brother Xiao Yi, are you there?"
Xun'er's clear voice rang out outside Xiao Yi's room.
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, tidied up briefly, and then opened the door.
"Xun'er, so early?"
Xiao Yi stretched and said softly.
Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly: "Today is the last assessment before the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, so of course I had to get up early..."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Xun'er, gently patted her head, and said: "You've already advanced to a Dou Practitioner now, are you still worried about failing this assessment?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er shrugged cutely: "Xun'er is only a Dou Practitioner right now..."
"But Brother Xiao Yi went from the First Stage of Dou Qi to his current strength in less than a year!"
"With such terrifying Cultivation talent, I doubt anyone in the entire Wutan City can compare..."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly and nodded.
"Let's go, Girl..."
"Xiao Yan is already waiting for us at the training ground..."
Xiao Xun'er: "How is Brother Xiao Yan doing now? I haven't seen him for such a long time..."
Xiao Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, that Little Fellow's talent is not bad either... Passing this assessment shouldn't be a problem..."
...At the huge bluestone training ground, almost all of the younger generation of the Xiao Family had gathered.
Amidst the crowd, Xiao Yan stood out noticeably.
Xiao Yan's eyes were stern as he stared intently at the testing stone tablet in the center of the training ground.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Xun'er slowly walked over.
They spotted Xiao Yan in the crowd right away.
"This Little Fellow, he really arrived early!"
Xiao Yi muttered softly, then led Xun'er toward Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yi and the other, the extremely serious expression he had moments ago softened into a smile.
"Brother Yi, you're finally here!"
Xiao Yi patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said: "Don't be nervous. Today, you will slap everyone in the face!"
