All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

The old doctor's expression changed drastically in an instant.
Burning Technique?!
This was his deepest secret, and apart from his unworthy disciple Han Feng, no one else should have known about it!

In an instant, the atmosphere became silent and strange. Yao Lao was making countless plans in his mind, while Wang Gan remained calm and composed, not afraid that Yao Lao would not agree to his conditions.

Xiao Yan, however, stared wide-eyed, completely unaware of what the two were talking about.

"How did you learn about the Burning Technique?"

After a long silence, the old apothecary finally spoke.
"You believe the Burning Technique is unique to you, but it wasn't created by you. In fact, traces of this technique have already been left on the Dou Qi Continent..."

Wang Gan said calmly.
"The ancient emperor Tuoshe practiced this Burning Technique, which enabled him to become the last Dou Di of the Dou Qi Continent."

The old doctor took a deep breath.

"So that's how it is. It's related to the legendary Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. No wonder this Burning Technique is so mysterious and extraordinary."

"Then I will give you the Burning Technique. What will I get in return?"

The old doctor knew that he didn't have many options left, after all, he was in a bad state, with only a remnant soul left, and was almost at the mercy of others.

"If you insist on forcibly searching my soul, I would rather destroy myself than leave you the Burning Technique!"

The old apothecary looked resolute, his eyes fixed intently on the young man opposite him.

"Didn't I say I could resurrect you?"

"You should know that with my qualifications and strength, it wouldn't be difficult for me to reshape your physical body, and I could even help you advance further."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile, his tone composed.

"Moreover, I can help you take revenge in advance. Elder Yao, you wouldn't want your good disciple Han Feng to live like this, would you?"

"Of course, besides that, I also need your Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

After a moment of silence, the old doctor finally nodded.

Although he has the ability to destroy everything in the process, at his peak his cultivation reached the peak of Dou Zun, and his soul strength even reached the Heavenly Realm. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and he is more than capable of destroying everything in the process.

Wang Gan is an extremely mysterious person, and whether the transaction has been completed is still unknown.

But if one is willing to live, who would want to die?

With a flick of his finger, the old doctor transmitted a divine thought, and a flash of inspiration struck Wang Gan, bringing to mind an extremely profound cultivation technique.

Burn Jue!

With maximum growth potential, this technique is almost capable of defying fate. Not only can it continuously improve one's own technique level with virtually no upper limit, but each time one absorbs a different kind of fire, it can also defy fate, granting the user different fire supernatural powers and allowing for rapid breakthroughs in cultivation realms!
This is arguably the biggest power-up the author gave to the protagonist, Xiao Yan, without exception!

Wang Gan also believes that the Burning Technique is one of the most precious opportunities in the Dou Qi Continent, comparable to the Emperor Scripture of Shrouding the Heavens. In some ways, if combined with the effect of a different kind of fire, it is even stronger than the Emperor Scripture in the early stages!

"However, the Burning Technique can only be used as an initial technique. For those who already possess battle qi, they must completely abolish their original battle qi in order to learn the Burning Technique."

The old doctor's expression held a hint of curiosity.
"Are you planning to cripple your cultivation?"

Wang Gan smiled mysteriously.
"That's not your concern, old man."

"Now that the Burning Technique has been handed over to me, it's just a transaction between you and me. There's one more thing."

"How do you plan to pay for my apprentice's emotional distress?"

The old doctor stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"what?!"

"I'm responsible for this too?" How can someone be so shameless?!

Wang Gan chuckled and casually tossed the black ring back into Xiao Yan's hand.

"However, before you reshape your physical body, since there's nowhere else to go, I'm not interested in spending all my time with an old man."

"Stay here with Xiao Yan until you are resurrected. You can also take care of his cultivation problem while you're at it!"

Wang Gan would naturally not act as Xiao Yan's babysitter, and the Shrouding the Heavens system and the Dou Qi system are completely different things. It's better to let the original author guide Xiao Yan.

"This"

Even the old doctor hesitated.

Judging from Xiao Yan's attitude, he probably won't be very respectful, and things might not be easy for him in the future.

Moreover, the old doctor suddenly realized something.
So, this guy got the Burning Technique for free, and even his disciples need his help to train them. Isn't that a complete freebie?

Xiao Yan frowned as well, truly unwilling for the culprit who had absorbed his Dou Qi to stay by his side.
"But I won't let you suffer a loss."

Wang Gan thought about it and realized that he had already taken advantage of someone else's opportunity and taken them as his apprentice, so he shouldn't just take it for free.

"Take this; it's a small token of my appreciation."

Wang Gan took out two pieces of pure source from his spatial ring and gave each of them a fist-sized piece of pure source, which was the share of the candidate holy sons of Yao Guang Holy Land.

"This is."

Xiao Yan stared wide-eyed at the solid crystal in his hand. It had a pure and holy appearance, and a warm and comfortable feeling when touched. Inside, it contained pure life essence and emitted specks of rosy light and colorful mist.

Just holding it in his hand, Xiao Yan felt a longing, a longing that came from the depths of his body and soul. This thing would surely benefit him immensely!

"Such pure life essence!?"

"Even purer than fifth or sixth grade pills!?"

The old doctor was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. In the Dou Qi Continent, a world where even the Emperor Source had disappeared, he had never eaten such fine chaff.

If we were to quantify it, the Emperor Source of the Dou Qi Continent would at most be considered a Divine Source in the world of "Covering the Sky"—precious, but nothing special.

Pure Source is a pure energy body second only to Emperor Source. It can not only help low-level cultivators break through their realm quickly, but also repair injuries and restore mana.

The benefits to Yao Lao are self-evident; they are enough to stabilize his soul and even restore him to a near-peak Heavenly Realm soul state!
The way the old apothecary looked at Wang Gan was completely different now.

Who exactly is this guy? How can he casually produce such rare and precious materials?!
Wang Gan smiled calmly.
Although the world of Shrouding the Heavens has gone through countless eras and its resources are far less than before, it is still much stronger than the Dou Qi Continent, a small place that can't even produce a Dou Di.

"Why is that old man's bigger than mine?"

Xiao Yan was a little unconvinced when he saw that the Pure Source in Yao Lao's hand was a size larger than his own.

"Even this small amount of life crystal is enough for you to cultivate to the Great Dou Master realm!"

The old apothecary sighed, lamenting the young man's lack of discernment.

His eyes burned as he looked at the Pure Source in Xiao Yan's hand; he even wished he could possess it for himself!

"Besides, weren't you delayed for several years because your battle qi was absorbed by me? With the foundation and experience you've accumulated over the years, and with this life crystal, you'll soon be able to recover to your original level, and even break through to the Dou Zhe realm!"

"Even before you reach the Great Dou Master realm, you won't need any external aids like pills. The life essence within is purer and more powerful than any medicinal pill!" (End of Chapter)
