In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 49 The Four Things That Cannot Be Controlled, the First

Inside the city of Utan.

The back mountain of the Xiao family.

"Hahaha! I've finally reached the fourth level of Battle Qi! At this rate, I'll definitely surpass Brother Ran!"

Xiao Yan laughed wildly.

The old doctor beside him smiled and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan's talent may not be the best, his spirit of working hard day and night to cultivate over the past few days has deeply moved Yao Lao.

Although he knew in his heart that his disciple had always been pursuing Xiao Ran.

Even though Yao Lao had high hopes for Xiao Yan, he didn't believe that Xiao Yan could ultimately surpass him.

However, he did not say these words aloud.

People always need to have a goal to pursue.

It's like a donkey. If you want it to run forward according to your plan, the best way is to hang a carrot in front of it that it wants to eat but can't reach.

Only in this way will it strive forward.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan found the carrot himself without Yao Lao's help!

The old man stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

After laughing, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao with some concern.

"Teacher, I've heard that some people use special methods to enhance their strength, but this weakens their fighting spirit and affects their future potential."

"I wonder if I have the same worries?"

The old doctor smiled and shook his head, saying,

"No way!"

"Hmm, although this breakthrough didn't take long, it's partly because you've been stuck at the third level of Battle Qi for many years, making your Battle Qi incredibly condensed!"

"Now that you've already broken through to the Dou Zhe level, there are naturally no obstacles to returning to your old path."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

"Teacher, I understand!"

"Good that you understand!"

The old master nodded with satisfaction. He thought his disciple was quite good; he grasped many things about cultivation very quickly.

Unlike his sworn brother, who understood everything without being told.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan frowned, then looked at Yao Lao with a hint of hope.

"Teacher, can others prepare this Foundation Establishment Elixir?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Lao immediately straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and raised his head, looking every bit the seasoned master.

"Hehe, Little Yanzi, this isn't just me bragging."

Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue helplessly.

Because he knew that whenever someone said that, what they were about to say was probably just bragging.

Yao Lao, oblivious to Xiao Yan's reaction, continued speaking with considerable pride.

"On the Dou Qi Continent, there are countless medicinal herbs. Concocting pills with different effects from these countless materials is a complex matter. If you just randomly assemble them, destroying the furnace and ruining the pills is a minor issue; what if there's a backlash? Hehe..."

At this point, the old medicine master said with considerable pride, "This Foundation Establishment Elixir is a formula I refined after several years of experimentation. Perhaps others might accidentally come up with such a formula, but the chances are..."

"It's like you getting a million gold coins for free from your sworn brother."

"Wow?! That's amazing!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Hmph! What do you think?" Old Yao proudly stroked his beard.

Looking at Yao Lao's proud expression, Xiao Yan subconsciously licked his lips.

"Teacher, I have an idea!"

The old medicine master: "Hmm?"

………………

Around noon.

Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.

I stretched.

"Mmm! The air in Qingshan Town is so nice, it's so comfortable to sleep in!"

[Ding! Host has voluntarily chosen to cultivate while lying down, Battle Qi +1...]

Xiao Ran shook his head. This little bit of fighting spirit wasn't even as much as what he gained from completing a mission.

Immediately,

Xiao Ran was looking forward to the rewards from this system mission.

He then carefully examined Little Fairy Doctor's bedroom.

Little Fairy Doctor's bedroom is not large.

But it was clean and tidy, and very cozy.

On the windowsill, there were also several pots of medicinal herbs that looked quite nice.

However, what intrigued Xiao Ran was...

Where is Little Fairy Doctor now?

Logically speaking, she had already lost her job at Wan Yao Zhai yesterday, so why would she go out to collect herbs?

Although Xiao Ran was lying in the room, his powerful soul force had been secretly watching Little Fairy Doctor, which is why he knew all this.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, the door opened.

Little Fairy Doctor came in carrying two bowls, and said irritably.

"You're finally awake?"

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work, Little Fairy Doctor! Thank you for cooking for me."

Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran, annoyed.

"I'm afraid you'll starve to death in my room. I won't dare sleep here anymore."

"Who's like you, sleeping all day long!"

Then he turned his head towards the door.

"Go to the kitchen and bring those two dishes in for me, then we can eat!"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback.

Good heavens, this guy really doesn't treat himself like an outsider, ordering people around at will!

However, the two had already engaged in such intimate actions.

Although the unspoken understanding hasn't been revealed yet, their feelings for each other are already clear.

They just haven't found an opportunity yet; it's still an unspoken understanding at the moment.

Xiao Ran nodded and was about to leave.

But then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't finished his system task.

With only half an hour left, the task should be completed.

If we leave now,

Wouldn't all that time spent lying down have been for nothing?

He turned around awkwardly to look at Little Fairy Doctor, and suddenly saw the food that Little Fairy Doctor had served on the table.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately stepped forward, exclaiming in surprise.

"Wow! What's this? A red umbrella with a white pole?"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and said,

"This is a type of mushroom I found."

Then, with a slightly mocking yet smug look, she looked at Xiao Ran.

"If an ordinary magical beast ate it, it would be poisoned to death."

"However, after I mixed in some ingredients, it's barely edible."

Xiao Ran's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Little Fairy Doctor.

"Sort of? Barely? Let's not force it, okay? Have you ever eaten this before?"

"no."

Little Fairy Doctor blinked and shook her head honestly.

Xiao Ran: "..."

"So you're using me as a guinea pig for your dishes?!"

"I'm not doing it! And you can take the rest of the food yourself; I'm only eating white rice!"

Little Fairy Doctor pouted unhappily.

"Hmph! You despicable fellow, I was just trying to show off my cooking skills, take it or leave it!"

After saying that, Little Fairy Doctor tossed her hair and turned to leave.

Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's not that I don't care about you or don't want to cook for you, it's just that this is my duty, I can't help it!"

In the end, Little Fairy Doctor still sat down at the table with her bowl in hand.

Looking at the person opposite him with dissatisfaction, Xiao Ran picked up a handful of rice while using his chopsticks to pick up a lot of mushrooms with each bite.

"They eat and sleep like pigs! Their table manners are awful!"

Little Fairy Doctor muttered a disdainful remark.

However, judging from Xiao Ran's eating habits, Xiao Yi Xian felt that Xiao Ran liked the food she had made, and she felt indescribably satisfied and happy.

I must say, this feeling is really great.
