Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 587 Yao Chen: Have you grown too big for your britches? Xiao Yan: I'm more than just big for your britches.
"Okay! Let's go!" Seeing that Xiao Yixian did not refuse, Gu Xun'er's face lit up with joy, and she pulled up the corner of Xiao Yixian's clothes, ready to take Xiao Yixian out.

In the past two months, both Xiao Yan and Jiang Lin had been missing. After practicing for so long, Gu Xun'er wanted to find someone to talk to. However, there weren't many people in Canaan Academy who could speak with her.

Hu Jia was asked by her grandfather to practice hard and could not compare with people like Gu Xun'er. Moreover, Hu Jia was also... Gu Xun'er did not like to play alone with Hu Jia.
Within Canaan Academy, there existed a "monster circle" comprised entirely of young people like Jiang Lin, with Gu Xun'er naturally a member. Xiao Yixian, Xiao Lan, and Zi Yan were all considered members of this circle.

Due to the common interests, it is actually very difficult for other people from the outside world to integrate into this circle.

After all, at this stage, Jiang Lin’s life weapon is not going to be exposed, and Gu Xun’er and other small circles are naturally different from others.

"Sister Zi Yan, come out quickly. Let's go out and participate in the Black Seal Auction." Not far from the Little Medical Fairy's cave, Gu Xun'er called out softly to other places. Then the surrounding space rippled slightly, and a tall girl in a purple cheongsam walked out.

"Black Seal Auction House? Any new goodies?" Zi Yan looked curiously at Gu Xun'er and Little Medical Fairy the moment she appeared. Yao Tianhuo had already returned to a soul storage ring that Little Medical Fairy carried with her.

"There are indeed some rare treasures," Gu Xun'er nodded. The Black Seal Auction House has been selling quite a lot of good stuff lately. Even an eighth-grade spiritual medicine appeared once, but it was auctioned off by Medicine King Han Feng. Canaan Academy had originally wanted to bid, but after all, it had begun to deviate from the norm, and demand for spiritual medicines, once so valuable, was low.

If either Xiao Yan or Jiang Lin were willing to come forward, then many of the things at the Black Seal Auction House would not be available for anyone else to take away.

Han Feng just happened to win some good stuff in the auction when Jiang Lin and others were away.

"There are quite a few good items at the Black Seal Auction recently." A hint of surprise flashed across Zi Yan's face. "I just came back from Black Seal City not long ago."

"The Black Horn Region is now showing signs of becoming the center of the continent's western region. It's only natural that more and more good things are appearing." Gu Xun'er nodded, indicating that this was a very normal phenomenon. If Zi Yan and the others went to Zhongzhou, they would realize just how incredible the wealth of natural resources there is.

Treasures that are usually extremely rare in the other four regions of Douqi Continent are now plentiful in Zhongzhou, if not everywhere, but can at least be seen frequently at auction houses. Treasures from almost every region of Douqi Continent are converging on Zhongzhou, transforming it into a sacred place for cultivation.

"Okay, let's go and take a look together. However, Xiaolan is trying to break through a bottleneck recently and can't come with us." Since he didn't have anything important to do, he decided to go with Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yixian.

"Yes, thank you very much, Sister Zi Yan." Gu Xun'er smiled. Zi Yan might be older in age, but her mental age was very young. She always gave them the feeling of a wild girl next door, so Gu Xun'er would call Zi Yan "Sister Zi Yan".

Xiao Yixian was about the same age as Xiao Yan, a little older than Gu Xun'er, so Gu Xun'er called her sister according to normal relationship.

However, Xiao Yixiang, Zi Yan and others didn't care much about this.

"Yeah, it's okay, let's go." Zi Yan nodded slightly, then spread her fighting spirit wings, grabbed Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yixian's arms, and soared into the sky.

In terms of flying speed, Zi Yan was extremely fast. Although she was only at the Dou Huang realm, she was already able to use the power of space to assist her movement. This was one of the reasons why Gu Xun'er and the others wanted to bring Zi Yan along.

Zi Yan also understood that Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yixian suspected that they were using her as a 'transportation tool', but she was carefree and didn't care. As long as they could get good things, there was no problem.

After Zi Yan and the other two left, some time passed before the stable energy environment of the Canaan Academy's Qi Gathering Matrix suddenly flickered, and the fire energy suddenly surged, but then quickly disappeared.

Just when the teachers and students inside Canaan College were feeling a little confused, Xiao Yan, who was far away in a huge fireball in the underground magma world of Canaan College, opened his eyes instantly with a blazing light in his eyes. He felt as if he had a dream.
"Teacher, I seem to have had a dream." The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, his gaze was dull for a moment, and then he began to call out to his soul grandfather deep in his heart.

"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Yao Chen's voice sounded faintly in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Can I not listen to anything?" Xiao Yan's eyes began to regain their color, and then his face became conflicted.

"Then you should listen to that kid first." Yao Chen said calmly.

"But why didn't you stop me, teacher?" Xiao Yan said with a bitter expression.

"It has been stopped. Otherwise, you, brat, would have caused even greater disaster." Yao Chen said calmly.

Xiao Yan: "."

Xiao Yan had a dream in which an enchanting figure appeared and helped him absorb the raging fire energy in his body.
Finally, after preparing himself mentally, Xiao Yan slowly lowered his head and took a look at the colorful snake pattern surrounding his chest. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, Yao Chen stopped him and prevented him from making a more serious mistake. Otherwise, he would not know how to treat Cai Lin now.

"We'll have to wait until she breaks through to Dou Zong to see what happens." Yao Chen reminded Xiao Yan to be more open-minded. It's just kissing, hugging and lifting up. It's no big deal.

Furthermore, with Xiao Yan's strength, it would have been extremely difficult to defeat Cai Lin, whose strength had almost fully recovered. Xiao Yan had simply taken advantage of Cai Lin's inattention while fusing the strange fire, and had been subdued by her on the spot. Cai Lin's soul had recovered very well, so there was no chance she would be defeated by Xiao Yan.

"Alright." Xiao Yan felt his scalp tingle. He didn't know how to explain to Cai Lin that he was just possessed by a ghost and didn't do it intentionally. (A tribute to the anime, suppressing Xiao Xiao's birth, at least it wouldn't happen now, and of course, it wouldn't be given to Xiao Ding (dog head saves his life))
"Let's see how things go first. Don't let a woman's affairs affect your career," Yao Chen advised, speaking with the air of someone who'd been through it all. But Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "...Has Teacher ever had a woman he liked?"

Yaochen: "."

After a moment of silence, Yao Chen's expression suddenly turned exasperated: "You little brat! What nonsense are you asking? Now that you've grown wings, you're teasing Master?"

"Uh" Xiao Yan felt a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to reply that it wasn't just his wings that were hard, but he felt it was a bit weird to say this to Yao Chen. In the end, he could only silently endure Yao Chen's anger.

While enduring Yao Chen's nagging, Xiao Yan looked inward at the situation within his body. Finally, after Yao Chen's inexplicable anger subsided a little, Xiao Yan shared with Yao Chen: "Master's wife and so on are all clouds and smoke. Teacher, please stop nagging. Come and see the improvement of your precious disciple."

"You are just a piece of shit!" Yao Chen was immediately dissatisfied. What a shitty disciple! He wants a master's wife!

"Hehe." Xiao Yan chuckled, then quickly said: "Teacher, after I absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame, my cultivation reached the Nine-Star Dou King. I even rose four stars. This is because I suppressed it. Otherwise, I might have directly broken through to the Dou Huang."

Compared to others, Xiao Yan's physique is incredibly strong, greatly aiding him in absorbing the strange fire. Xiao Yan's physical condition often appears weak because he's surrounded by monsters, whether it's Zi Yan or Jiang Lin, all of whom are monsters, not comparable to humans. However, Xiao Yan doesn't compare himself to Gu Xun'er and the others, which gives him the illusion of being frail.

After all, even if you are a man of iron, you will immediately become weak as soon as you stand next to Jiang Lin!

Didn’t you see that Zi Yan, who was as hard as iron, seemed to have a much gentler style because of the comparison with Jiang Lin?

"Moreover, most of the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame has not been absorbed yet. It has all been stored in the Soul Gathering Space. It is expected that it will be able to assist me in rapid cultivation in the future until I reach the Dou Zong level." Xiao Yan explained.

The energy of the mature Fallen Heart Flame was approaching Dou Zun's, far more powerful than the original Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. Even if Xiao Yan would experience some damage while absorbing and digesting it, the Fallen Heart Flame's energy was immense enough to assist Xiao Yan in his rapid cultivation to Dou Zong without any problems.

"Well, it's quite rational for him not to be blinded by the power." Yao Chen nodded, expressing his approval of Xiao Yan's behavior of not being bewitched by the power and recklessly striving to reach a higher realm.

The realm gap between Dou Huang and Dou Wang is too large. If Xiao Yan wants to consolidate his foundation and break through to a higher realm, he must suppress himself at the Nine-Star Dou Wang realm. After absorbing and mastering all the power of the Nine-Star Dou Wang, he can break through to the Dou Huang realm and have a higher qualification limit.

As the saying goes, polish your qualifications, polish your qualifications, qualifications are polished bit by bit.

"That's natural." Xiao Yan gradually realized the importance of "foundation" from Jiang Lin. For example, Jiang Lin's foundation was too solid, so even when he used amplification techniques, his Dou Qi realm didn't fluctuate, but his actual combat power was soaring.

What does this mean? Others use their amplification secrets by raising their own realms and then using their realms to overwhelm others. But Jiang Lin has reached a new level. By broadening the upper limit of his realm, he can even cross realms and beat others without breaking through.

At first, Xiao Yan didn't quite understand Jiang Lin's approach, because the results of the two amplification techniques didn't change. But later, when Xiao Yan was discussing this with Yao Chen, Yao Chen said something that really resonated with Xiao Yan: "The higher the realm, the less effective the amplification techniques are. But Jiang Lin's foundation is so solid that it's no wonder."

Yes! The higher the realm, the more useless the secret method of temporarily raising the realm becomes. For example, can a Nine-Star Dou Zun use a secret method to temporarily raise his cultivation to Dou Sheng? Can a Nine-Star Dou Sheng temporarily raise his realm to Dou Di? No!

Therefore, the stronger a person is at a higher level, the secret method he uses to improve his strength will definitely not be to directly improve his level, but to directly provide himself with the energy of heaven and earth to expand the upper limit of his level!
Jiang Lin is now able to achieve this step, which also means that Jiang Lin’s current secret amplification method "Fighting Qi Furnace" can allow Jiang Lin to use it until he becomes a Fighting Saint.

Even Xiao Yan was inspired by it and came up with an idea of ​​a special secret method that could use the amplification secret technique to test the solidity of his own foundation. When the time is right, he can create this special secret method to test the foundation strength of Dou Qi cultivators.

After all, Xiao Yan has been following Jiang Lin, a technical master, for so long, so naturally he has to show some technical achievements of his own.

"I feel like if I work harder, I might be able to catch up with Brother Lin." Xiao Yan felt a little excited.

Finally, he was going to catch up with that wall-hanger in terms of cultivation level!

Of course, Xiao Yan also understood that his Dou Huang realm was not the same as Jiang Lin's. Jiang Lin's Dou Huang realm was the realm where he activated the super secret Dou Qi furnace. Jiang Lin's Dou Qi realm did not need to be touched! This meant that Jiang Lin's foundation was so solid that he could beat Dou Zong from the Dou Huang realm!

"Tsk tsk. If it weren't for the strange fire, you still want to catch up with that kid." Yao Chen felt a little sad in his heart, because he didn't know how Jiang Lin cultivated, but he had a solid foundation and his cultivation speed was abnormally fast.
Moreover, as Yao Chen, who had reached the level of Nine-Star Dou Zun before him, he understood Jiang Lin's current terrifying foundation, which would help Jiang Lin avoid many detours in cultivation in the future.

"Also, unless you have more exotic fire to devour and absorb, you really don't guarantee you'll surpass them before reaching the Dou Sheng realm." Yao Chen had a high opinion of Xiao Yan and the others. As long as Xiao Yan could continue to cultivate the Burning Art, then a Dou Sheng breakthrough wouldn't be impossible. And Jiang Lin, that kid, would definitely be able to break through to the Dou Sheng realm.

"Even if you are ahead in the Dou Zong Dou Zun realm, you still need to go through the two special stages of Nine Transformations and Semi-Saint in the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm." Yao Chen's vision allowed him to look at the "realm race" between Xiao Yan and Jiang Lin from a higher perspective.

"Given that kid's amazing foundation, he probably won't even have to go through the Nine Transformations, or even the Semi-Saint realm." Yao Chen had only heard of top-level geniuses who could jump realms in legends.
The gap between the human race's Dou Sheng and the beast race's Dou Sheng was all made up in the two "temporary realms" created in later generations, Dou Zun Jiuzhuan and Half Saint.

The human race's fighting spirit system is indeed very suitable for the human race, but it is not necessarily suitable for all humans. Therefore, in the actual practice process, the descendants of the human race whose qualifications are not as good as the human race's ancestor, the Great Emperor, began to reduce the difficulty of cultivation by expanding the number of realms.
