After browsing the third floor, Xiao Li bought several good medicinal Materials and a few Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques to enrich his Family's foundation.
Xiao Li felt he had bought everything he needed, so he left and returned to the Music Academy.
Upon arriving at the Music Academy, Xiao Li was pulled by Mang Tianchi into a room.
"Kid, take out that copper piece," Mang Tianchi said with a grin.
"Dean, what is this thing? Why are you so persistent?" Xiao Li couldn't understand the Dean's reasoning.
"Heh, you brat, do you think I'm just looking for trouble? I'm telling you, this is a good thing! If I miss it, I won't be able to sleep well!" Mang Tianchi snorted coldly.
Xiao Li said, "What good thing? I can't tell."
"If the secrets on it were so easy for you to uncover, do you think it would be your turn to enjoy the benefits?" Mang Tianchi said, crossing his arms.
"Alright, old man, just tell me, don't make me guess," Xiao Li said with a bitter face.
"So impatient. Fine, I'll show you." Mang Tianchi grabbed the copper piece with both hands and forcefully broke it. Then, extremely tiny, pale yellow dust particles fell out of the copper piece, twinkling like spirits, giving off an intense sense of spirituality.
"Spirit Nurturing Dust!" Su Wanyin exclaimed in shock.
Spirit Nurturing Dust was a valuable item from ancient times, well-known because it was not only a necessary material for refining Eighth Grade Pills and above, but also, if integrated into the Soul, it could nurture the Soul, gradually enhance the Spiritual Qi within the Soul, and thus reach the so-called Spirit Realm.
In ancient times, Alchemists who had touched the Spirit Realm would do their utmost to acquire this Spirit Nurturing Dust.
This item was like a magnet that attracted spirituality. If integrated into the Soul, it could make the Spiritual Qi within the Soul increasingly abundant without one realizing it, and it also had an excellent catalytic effect on certain states of comprehension.
As the contents of the copper piece were completely poured out, a total of twelve pale yellow dust particles appeared in the three people's sight.
Mang Tianchi smiled slightly: "It's indeed a good thing. We've hit the jackpot, completely hit the jackpot! Chi Yi would surely die of anger if he knew, hahahahaha!"
Su Wanyin also nodded: "Lier has indeed hit the jackpot. There are twelve Spirit Nurturing Dust particles, which I didn't expect. Elder Mang, how did you know about this?"
"Although your cultivation and Aptitude are both very good, your experience is still too lacking. Ancient powerhouses, whether they were idle or not, liked to leave behind their Legacy in various ways.
This copper piece is an example. The outside is made of hard-wearing Materials, with the most precious things placed inside the copper piece. Some others would treat good things as copper rust clinging to the copper piece, making it appear dilapidated."
Mang Tianchi said indifferently. He truly had nothing to say about these ancient powerhouses who were so idle. He had been tricked by such things many times, so this kind of thing couldn't fool him.
Mang Tianchi looked at the twelve Spirit Nurturing Dust particles, stroking his chin, and said, "Twelve is just right. There are three of us, so four particles each will do."
Su Wanyin folded her hands: "Thank you, Elder Mang."
"Thanks, Dean."
Xiao Li looked at the Spirit Nurturing Dust and began to ponder: should he absorb all of it to enhance his Soul Realm, or add the Spirit Nurturing Dust to the Elixir in the final competition to elevate it to an Eighth Grade Pill?
Xiao Li had two options for the Elixir he wanted to refine this time: one was the xuanpu foundation establishment pill, and the other was the Primordial Barrier Breaking Pill.
These two Elixirs were the ones Xiao Li desired most. The xuanpu foundation establishment pill was a top-grade Elixir used for a child's Foundation Establishment, second only to the yi shi pill among the Pill Formulas Xiao Li possessed.
The xuanpu foundation establishment pill was said to be able to bestow the Aptitude of a Dou Zong. Xiao Li's eldest nephew, Xiao Zhan, had a son named Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li thought that the birth of Xiao Yan was drawing much closer.
Xiao Li planned to give the younger generation of the Xiao Family the xuanpu foundation establishment pill collectively. If his Alchemy reached eighth-grade, they would all receive the yi shi pill! He would give the Soul Clan a taste of power! Our Xiao Family members shouldn't let Xiao Yan be the only one showing off!
Even if the current Xiao Clan did not possess the Dou Di Bloodline, Xiao Li believed that with his Alchemy, he could lead the Family to rise. Moreover, did the Xiao Clan's first Dou Di possess the Dou Di Bloodline at birth?
The Dou Di Bloodline was merely a Legacy of the Dou Di. If talent were only judged by Bloodline, even the most powerful Dou Di Family would decline.
As for the other Primordial Barrier Breaking Pill, it was also a seventh-grade Peak Elixir, used to increase the success rate of a Dou Zong Peak's Breakthrough to Dou Zun by 20%. If it failed, it would stabilize their cultivation, preventing their cultivation from falling.
This Primordial Barrier Breaking Pill could be refined into an Eighth Grade Pill. The higher the spirituality refined, the more Pill Lightning it would attract, and the higher the success rate of breaking through to Dou Zun.
This Primordial Barrier Breaking Pill could allow The Two Elders Qian Bai to break through to Dou Zun. If the Two Elders truly managed to break through to Dou Zun, it would be an immense gain for Xiao Li – a great favor from a Dou Zun Expert, which was extraordinary.
Whether it was the xuanpu foundation establishment pill or the Primordial Barrier Breaking Pill, both were very appealing to Xiao Li at this time, and he was struggling to decide which one to refine.
There was still one month until the start of the Pill Gathering, and Xiao Li planned to use this time to further improve himself.
Xiao Li then took the four Spirit Nurturing Dust particles and went into seclusion.
A single Spirit Nurturing Dust particle slowly floated before Xiao Li.
Xiao Li's gaze was fixed on this Spirit Nurturing Dust particle. Then, a suction force suddenly emerged. Under this suction, the pale yellow, shimmering dust instantly transformed into a tiny stream of light, shooting directly into Xiao Li's glabella and disappearing.
As this Spirit Nurturing Dust particle integrated into Xiao Li's head, his body immediately trembled violently, and his face instantly twisted, his head experiencing an intense stinging pain!
That Spirit Nurturing Dust particle was like a lightning bolt, fiercely striking his Soul and then penetrating into it. Fortunately, this pain did not last long.
After the Soul pain gradually dissipated, wisps of extremely faint Spiritual Qi suddenly permeated the surrounding world, seeping out amidst spatial fluctuations, and finally slowly entering Xiao Li's glabella.
"Spiritual Qi!"
With the Spiritual Qi entering his body, Xiao Li was instantly overjoyed and quickly seized this opportunity to Cultivate his Soul!
"The extreme of Soul, guiding stars into orifices, gathering stars to form spirit, absorbing spirit to forge Soul..."
Xiao Li silently recited this incantation. Although he didn't know which powerhouse had given it to him, it wouldn't be too late to repay him later. First, Cultivate!
Xiao Li began to Cultivate his Soul Power with the help of the Spirit Nurturing Dust. His own Soul Power was also slowly increasing, moving towards the direction of transforming from mortal to spirit!
In the Void Realm directly above the Music Academy, an old man dressed in simple hemp robes was hidden in the Void Realm, observing Xiao Li's state.
"Good, good. This child is truly lucky to have obtained the Spirit Nurturing Dust. His Soul is already not far from the Spirit Realm.
If he can refine an Eighth Grade Pill at this Pill Gathering, then I shall give him a reward. It has been a long time since I encountered such a young man with good Aptitude and a calm state of mind."
The old man smiled and muttered to himself. If Xiao Li could see this old man, he would be greatly surprised, for this was none other than the old 'Dou Practitioner' he had bumped into that day!
