When Xiao Yan heard that the medicine could enhance mental strength and restore his teacher's soul power, he understood how precious it was. So he looked at the latter, his questioning gaze obvious.

The old doctor didn't dwell on it too much, but he was quite satisfied with Xiao Wujiu and waved his hand to signal Xiao Yan to accept it.

"You're very thoughtful. If you have any questions about alchemy in the future, you can come and ask me."

As he spoke, the Bone Flame Ring in Xiao Yan's hand trembled slightly, and then a delicate jade slip and a large number of scrolls flew over to Xiao Wujiu, hovering in front of him.

"This jade slip contains what you've been looking for. I also hope you'll make good use of these pill formulas. I look forward to the moment you reach the eighth rank."

Yao Chen smiled gently, then put away the jade box and flew back into Xiao Yan's Bone Flame Ring, leaving the time to Xiao Wujiu and Xiao Yan.

The latter scratched his head, watched Xiao Wujiu pack up his things, and gave him a wry smile: "Cousin Wujiu, please keep this a secret, after all..."

“Of course,” he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. “I understand what Elder Yao means. I will definitely be there to support you for the three-year agreement. Our Xiao family cannot afford to lose. I will bring a group of strong people with me. I want to see if the Yunlan Sect dares to make any moves!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded heavily.

'Nalan Yanran, just wait! The three-year promise will be fulfilled! I, Xiao Yan, will definitely wash away the shame of that day!'

----------

Back in his courtyard, seeing that it was still early, Xiao Wujiu simply returned to his own courtyard and began preparing to improve his strength.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the damage caused by his last breakthrough to the Dou Ling realm had been completely repaired.

He took out a purplish-black source material. Its aura was not particularly strong, but it revealed a mysterious quality. This was the source material of the Eight Spider Lances!

"Then let me see if you really are that amazing."

Looking at the source in his hand, he no longer hesitated, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the energy.

In his perception, this energy flowed along his meridians, then gathered on his back, connecting from the spine to the ribs, where the two slowly merged.

Pfft!

As the sound of tearing cloth rang out, he felt several "bones" growing out of his back, which then began to stretch and gradually developed joints.

The excruciating pain pierced Xiao Wujiu's bones, continuously and intensely stimulating his nerves. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, soaking the bed completely, yet he gritted his teeth and remained completely silent!

As the eight spider spears fully emerged, the pain disappeared and stopped, and the purplish-black spider legs appeared before his eyes.

In the pitch-black room, Xiao Wujiu's heavy breathing echoed in the darkness, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"The external soul bone is complete!"

With his powerful mental strength, Xiao Wujiu began to manipulate the eight spider legs. As for the so-called influence of malevolent energy? What a joke! He was, after all, a soul power at the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm. Would he be affected by something that had died?

Supported by the eight spider spears behind him, he began to stand up. He looked at the eight spider spears that were extended in front of him. They were purplish-black in color and looked like they were full of poison. The spider legs were also extremely sharp and could play an auxiliary role in the battle.

"The only problem is that the Eight Spider Lances aren't quite as tough as I am yet..."

Xiao Wujiu felt the Eight Spider Spears. After all, it was just a soul bone produced by a thousand-year-old soul beast, so its starting point was not high. However, its growth potential made it full of potential.

After familiarizing himself with it, he put away the eight spider spears, and the eight spider legs, each over three meters long, behind him were slowly retracted. Apart from a few large holes in his clothes, he looked no different from usual.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the sixth-order magic core he had obtained from Ya Fei. The power of the rules of the Douluo world surged into his hand through the portal, gradually covering the magic core.

The magic core began to "melt," transforming into a blood-red soul ring that floated in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wujiu immediately summoned the Creation Cauldron and went to meet it, forming hand seals to begin absorbing the soul ring.

As the spirit ring was placed on the Creation Cauldron, Xiao Wujiu's eyes narrowed. He directly manipulated the Creation Cauldron to envelop the spirit ring and began refining it with all his might!

"Wait for me to absorb it? Why go through all that trouble? Give me the Creation Cauldron to refine it!"

Xiao Wujiu devoted all his efforts to refining the soul ring, and the energy within it began to flow through his meridians and into his dantian.

Chapter 26 Nine-Star Battle Spirit, Complete!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wujiu's cultivation level also began to rise, and his bottleneck began to loosen.

As the crystal sea urchin within his body began to vibrate, the original eight spikes started to decrease steadily—seven, six, five…

His cultivation level also continued to improve as the spikes on his battle qi crystal decreased!

This magic core has more energy than the sixth-tier magic core he obtained from the inheritance.

Normally, the energy of a sixth-tier magic core will inevitably be lost during its use. The factors that determine this include the method of use, the conversion rate, and the level of the cultivation technique, among others.

But what's amazing about spirit rings is that their energy can be directly absorbed and utilized!

Six-star Dou Ling, seven-star Dou Ling... eight-star Dou Ling!

Feeling the momentum of his impending breakthrough to the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm, Xiao Wujiu hardened his heart, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. He took out a large bottle of "red soup" from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and poured it directly into his mouth.

As the place where the Dragon King fell, and having accumulated the energy of heaven and earth for countless years, the energy within is exceptionally abundant. However, he doesn't feel bad about drinking it; he has plenty of this stuff!

As another burst of scorching fire-attribute energy erupted, the violent energy immediately surged and crashed through Xiao Wujiu's body!

"It's just some energy. I am the master of this body. Once you're inside me, behave yourself and let me absorb it!"

"Give me the town!"

With a low shout, Xiao Wujiu unleashed his soul power at the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm, forcefully suppressing the energy in his meridians. Then, following the path of the cultivation technique, he continuously digested the energy and finally channeled it into his dantian.

The last spike in the battle qi crystal slowly retracted into the crystal as this energy continued to flow in!

Nine Stars Fighting Spirit, complete!

Xiao Wujiu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his aura suddenly exploded!

Instantly, a powerful pressure radiated outwards from Xiao Wujiu's courtyard, but it abruptly stopped at the edge of the courtyard!

On the Creation Cauldron in his hand, a pile of gems representing 100,000-year soul rings had appeared. However, after symmetry, the two gems seemed to be a little closer to the Creation Cauldron.

However, he did not investigate further and put away the Creation Cauldron.

"Phew~" He let out a deep breath. "Fortunately, my control over battle qi has not decreased despite the significant increase in strength. I just need to solidify it further."

He jumped directly from Dou Zhe to the peak of the ninth star of Da Dou Shi, skipping two major realms. Now he is only breaking through to the ninth star Dou Ling, which is not a big problem.

He dispelled the pressure of the Nine Stars Battle Spirit, looked out the window, and found that it was already as bright as day. So he got up, tidied up and washed up, and then returned to the room.

He didn't rush to start refining medicine to consolidate his battle qi. Instead, he took out the jade slip that Yao Chen had given him and sat down cross-legged.

He pressed the jade slip to his brow and began to immerse himself in it with his soul power, starting to accept this vast inheritance.

An hour later, he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, filled with emotion.

"The Medicine Master truly lives up to his name. From the most basic identification of medicinal herbs and analysis of their properties, to various techniques for controlling fire and insights into refining and condensing pills, he is meticulous in every detail, and his knowledge will definitely greatly improve my alchemy skills!"

Looking at the quiet room and feeling the surging battle qi within his body, Xiao Wujiu felt a little itchy to fight.

"Let's refine the pills in the next few days."

----------

In the daily process of refining medicine, Xiao Wujiu's alchemy skills were constantly improving, and he was also constantly refining his battle qi, making his battle qi more condensed and his foundation more solid.

Until one time when he was refining medicine, Xiao Yan's knocking sounded on the door...

Knock knock knock—

"Cousin Wujiu, the family coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin!"

"Please come in first."

Upon hearing Xiao Wujiu's voice, Xiao Yan pushed open the door and entered, where he saw Xiao Wujiu condensing his core.

"Cousin Wujiu, are you refining medicine? What grade is it?"

Xiao Yan approached with curiosity, and seeing that he still had the leisure to reply, he inquired about the grade of the pill.

"The fourth-grade elixir, Purple Ganoderma Pill."

At this moment, he had already completed the process of forming the pills. As the five pills, which were round and purple with some gold mixed in, flew out, Xiao Yan could clearly see the pill patterns inside.

"Fourth, fourth rank?"

"It seems this kid has a high talent for alchemy; he digested those insights so quickly."

While Xiao Yan was still shocked by how easily Xiao Wujiu had refined a fourth-grade pill, he was admiring the pill-forming technique the other party had used. This simple and effective pill-forming technique was the one he had passed down to the other party.

He put away the pills he had refined using Purple Lingzhi as the main ingredient, put away the Creation Cauldron, and then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Yan glanced curiously at the medicine cauldron from before, feeling a bit strange and puzzled about its origin. However, he also knew that one should not casually inquire about a pharmacist's medicine cauldron.

So he nodded and went to the square with Xiao Wujiu.

Soon, a huge square came into view, with a huge platform in the center.

Upon arriving, Xiao Wujiu looked around and saw Ya Fei on a high platform not far away. He immediately bid farewell to Xiao Yan and walked towards Ya Fei.

Xiao Yan: "?"

He followed the direction Xiao Wujiu had left and watched him walk to the side of a charming woman in a red dress. The woman, whose every smile and frown was captivating, was none other than Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House!

Then he saw his cousin Wujiu very naturally put his arm around her waist, which was as slender as a water snake, while Yafei rolled her eyes at him but did not struggle.

Xiao Yan: "Not a buddy? Huh?"

Xiao Yan felt he didn't quite understand. Why was his brother eating so well?

When did this happen? He didn't even know that his cousin Wujiu and Yafei were together. He's keeping it from his brother, isn't he?

Looking at the beautiful woman with mature charm, he gasped and couldn't help but secretly give Xiao Wujiu a thumbs up in his heart. Cousin Wujiu is simply a role model for us!

"Brother Xiao Yan, is it good?"

At that moment, a girl's voice rang out behind him, accompanied by a faint fragrance, and he saw Xun'er's pretty face with a half-smile.

"No, no, I was just surprised that Cousin Wujiu was with Yafei, that's all." With that, she pulled Xun'er to go somewhere else.

Before leaving, she glanced at Ya Fei, who was with Xiao Wujiu. She could sense that the woman's strength seemed to have improved a lot.

But Xiao Yan had already led her away, so she stopped thinking about it and prepared to turn around and start chatting and laughing with him.

……

"Is he the Xiao Yan you mentioned, and his rather complicated little girlfriend?"

As Ya Fei watched Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er walk away, she asked Xiao Wujiu beside her.
