16: Chapter 16 Great Dou Master

Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face flushed with surprise, and she quickly fled from Xiao Yan, her face turning beet red.

"See that? Everything here belongs to me. Are you trying to steal my things?" Xiao Yan watched Xiao Yi Xian, whose steps were slightly unsteady, and chuckled softly.

The look Mu Li shot at Xiao Yan was suddenly filled with murderous intent, as if Xiao Yan had just struck his own wife.

"You brat, you're courting death! Don't waste words with him, take him down!"

"Heh heh..."

Xiao Yan extended his right hand toward Mu Li, and a powerful suction force emerged. Facing this immense suction, Mu Li was completely unable to resist. With wide eyes, he could only fly straight toward Xiao Yan.

"Slap!" Mu Li, who was right in front of Xiao Yan, was sent flying into the stone wall to the side with a single slap, losing consciousness.

"Get lost!" Xiao Yan revealed his pale yellow Dou Qi Gauze and shouted loudly.

Seeing Mu Li get knocked unconscious with a single slap in such a bizarre manner, the crowd already had thoughts of retreating. Now, seeing Xiao Yan reveal the Dou Qi Gauze that only a Dou Master could possess, they were even more terrified.

They immediately grabbed Mu Li and, without a word, fled in a disheveled manner.

"Eh, is your name Xiao Yi Xian? Did I tell you to leave?" Xiao Yan asked with a mischievous smile.

"Bastard, what do you want?" Xiao Yi Xian gritted her teeth and said. She understood that she had been toyed with by the youth before her, but given his power as a Dou Master, she was completely unable to resist.

pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger—to think there was actually such a young Dou Master. How detestable! How despicable!

"I offered to give you things honestly before, but you didn't want them. Are you happy now? Hand over all the medicinal herbs on your person, and I will spare your life." Xiao Yan said with a look of regret.

Xiao Yi Xian bit her silver teeth in fury, but still took out the medicinal herbs from her storage ring, then turned and left.

"Wait." Xiao Yan called out to stop Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian turned around stiffly and asked, "What else is there?"

"What about my Ice Spirit Flame Grass?"

"Oh, oh, I almost forgot." Xiao Yi Xian was flustered, immediately took out the Ice Spirit Flame Grass from her storage ring, and fled the scene as if flying.

Watching the fleeing Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't care about the two scrolls Xiao Yi Xian had tried to keep for herself; they would just gather dust anyway. It was better to just go with the flow, making it easier to meet next time.

As for Xiao Yi Xian's safety? This woman possessed the Calamity Poison Body!

Xiao Yan collected the medicinal herbs Xiao Yi Xian had dropped on the ground one by one, then harvested the unprocessed herbs planted in the stone chamber. He looked around, suddenly unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings, and flew out rapidly.

The night was cool, and the mountains were dim, with only the faint moonlight to see the path ahead. Clearly, traveling at night was not a good choice, but that stone chamber had already been discovered, and continuing to stay there was an even worse option.

This was the outer perimeter of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where there were almost no powerful Demonic Beasts. As the "whooshing" night wind blew against him, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth curled into an arc. This feeling of free flight was unprecedented; it felt great!

After having his fill of fun, Xiao Yan casually found a huge tree, searched the surroundings, sprinkled some medicinal powder to ward off wild beasts, and then drifted into a light sleep on a tree branch.

...

"Whoosh!" The towering waterfall swooped down like an eagle, crashing against the stubborn rocks and emitting a deafening sound.

The splashing water droplets were like dust, permeating the air and scattering into a misty haze, draping the surrounding mountain streams and trees in a thin, light veil.

A strong youth stood motionless in the waterfall, allowing the water to batter him.

Suddenly, the youth lifted a piece of black iron shaped like a giant sword from his back, his body suddenly rotated 180°, and he swung the giant sword from bottom to top.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"

The youth was like a dragon awakening, unleashing a powerful red radiance toward the massive waterfall!

"Boom!" The red radiance was unstoppable, smashing through the entire waterfall like lightning. For an instant, time seemed to stand still; the waterfall stopped flowing, leaving only air in its place.

"Hoo!" The youth exhaled a breath, tapped his feet lightly, leaped to the shore, and quietly watched the scene he had created.

Behind him, Yao Chen nodded in approval. This power was enough to deal with a Dou Ling expert!

"Splash!" As if the waterfall had only just reacted, the water flow continued to crash down, slapping against the water surface and the stubborn rocks.

The youth was none other than Xiao Yan. After obtaining the Purple Cloud Wings and the fragment of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, he had come to this waterfall specifically to Cultivate the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler.

Of course, there was also the matter of waiting for Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King to go to war, so he could scavenge the corpse and reap the benefits.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting quietly in meditation, suddenly changed expression. A massive amount of Dou Qi suddenly surged toward him, continuously battering Xiao Yan's body.

"This is? A Breakthrough!" Xiao Yan was overjoyed. After months of accumulation, he had finally reached the Bottleneck today and begun his Breakthrough!

The Dou Qi vortex inside his body spun rapidly. With the infusion of the heaven and earth energy, the already viscous liquid Dou Qi began to gradually expand and undergo Fusion.

Gaseous energy could be compressed into Advanced liquid Dou Qi, and Advanced liquid Dou Qi could also be compressed into an even higher level of solid energy.

During such a Breakthrough, every Dou Master would instinctively compress their liquid Dou Qi; this was a move proven by countless predecessors.

And this type of Dou Qi was precisely the reason why a Great Dou Master could summon a tangible Dou Qi Armor.

Xiao Yan changed his hand seals, beginning to compress the liquid Dou Qi with all his might. As the hand seals changed, the vortex inside his body suddenly fluctuated violently. As time passed, it actually began to boil like boiling water!

Bubbling yellow waves emerged from within the vortex, spinning along with the continuously accelerating Dou Qi vortex, to the point where circles of yellow arcs appeared around the vortex.

The "woo woo" sound emitted by the rotation seemed to contain some kind of magical power, passing through his Meridians and bones, merging into his cells, and finally reaching beyond his skin, transmitting into the Dou Qi Gauze constantly twisting outside Xiao Yan's body.

When the sound transmitted into the gauze, the twisting of the Dou Qi Gauze slowly stopped. Then, yellow light flashed suddenly, merging with each other and becoming more tangible, turning into pieces of yellow Dou Qi Armor.

The massive amount of Dou Qi continued to pour into his body, being refined and absorbed by Xiao Yan, lasting for a full quarter of an hour before gradually slowing down.

And those liquefied Dou Qi finally transformed into Dou Qi crystals, floating in the center of the Dou Zhi Qi vortex.

When this crystal appeared, a feeling of exhilaration arose spontaneously. This crystal was the key item to becoming a Great Dou Master, commonly known as: "Dou Crystal!"

This little thing was the crystallization of all a person's Dou Qi, containing energy that left people in awe. Therefore, in the eyes of many experts, only those who possessed a Dou Crystal could be considered to have stepped into the great hall of Dou Qi cultivation.

"Congratulations, you have taken a step further in your Dou Qi cultivation and become a Great Dou Master expert!" Yao Chen smiled from behind Xiao Yan. The moment he sensed Xiao Yan's Breakthrough, Yao Chen had come out to guard Xiao Yan and prevent him from being disturbed.

"If it weren't for Teacher's meticulous guidance, I wouldn't have stepped into the Great Dou Master realm so quickly." Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. With Yao Chen there, he had indeed avoided many detours.

Yao Chen laughed and said, "Don't be humble. Everything you possess now comes from your own efforts!"

Yao Chen couldn't help but smile again. This brat's talent was too terrifying. Even now, only using a Yellow Rank low-grade Cultivation Technique, he had already cultivated so rapidly. If it were a Profound Rank or even an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, how terrifying would that be?

Thinking of this, Yao Chen felt some worry. Was the Burning Technique, given to such an outstanding youth, perhaps still too much of a gamble...

However, after just a moment, Yao Chen corrected his mindset. In any case, Little Yan had already learned the Burning Technique.

If he really couldn't find any Heavenly Flame, he could just dissipate his cultivation and switch techniques. In any case, this little guy's talent was so high that wasting a few more years wouldn't have any impact.

Thus, Yao Chen thought for a while and said, "Starting from tomorrow, learn to refine a fourth-grade Medicinal Pill, the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill!"

"More Alchemy?!"

Xiao Yan's face instantly turned bitter. Under Master Yao's guidance, Alchemy was even more tedious and dull than Cultivation.
