NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26: The Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill
Chapter 26: The Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill
Not to mention a fifth-grade alchemist, if it weren't for the ancestral blessings and Su Yun's assistance, the Xiao family wouldn't even be able to afford a fourth-grade alchemist.
While Su Yun and Xiao Zhan were discussing how to help Xiao Yan recover, Xiao Yan himself was running towards the back mountain of the Xiao family. He looked up at the sky, his expression numb, resembling a walking corpse.
Suddenly, Xiao Xun Er's worried voice came from a distance. She had instructed Ling Ying to secretly monitor their situation, and as soon as Xiao Yan ran out, she received the message.
"Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong? Are you troubled about something?"
Xiao Xun Er, pretending to be unaware, approached Xiao Yan, speaking in a soft and gentle tone.
Xiao Yan's face was stiff, and he didn't respond. Panic flashed in his eyes. He didn't want Xiao Xun Er to see him like this and forced himself to appear calm.
Xiao Xun Er, full of concern for Xiao Yan, reached out her delicate hand, attempting to comfort him. Her hand was slender and soft, like warm white jade, but the moment she touched Xiao Yan, it was like igniting a powder keg.
Xiao Yan pushed Xiao Xun Er to the ground and ran towards the deeper parts of the back mountain.
"Brother Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Xun Er got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and looked worriedly in the direction Xiao Yan had run. However, she also knew that this was not the right time to follow him, as Xiao Yan was like a startled horse, bolting at the sight of people.
"Old Ling, follow him, don't let anything happen to Brother Xiao Yan."
"Yes."
A dark figure moved swiftly in the direction Xiao Yan had gone, like a beam of light.
Xiao Xun Er was filled with worry but had no solution. She couldn't use her family's power to help Xiao Yan, as her purpose in the Xiao family was not simple...
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Yun and Xiao Zhan finished their consultation and returned home.
There was nothing more they could do to help. However, this was an opportunity for Xiao Yan to feel even more grateful towards them.
Generally, one should not take pills during the Dou Qi stage. However, some alchemists, with their talent, could create specific pills suitable for those in the Dou Qi stage.
For example, Yao Lao's Foundation Building Spirit Liquid.
Pure Lotus Demon Saint, needless to say, also had a fire attribute. Perhaps for this reason, this Half-Emperor was quite interested in medicinal formulas. In his remnant soul, there were several pill formulas suitable for those in the Dou Qi stage.
This pill, like the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, was not a formed pill but a kind of spirit liquid that could be diluted in clear water. It was used for medicinal baths, and long-term use could enhance one's aptitude and physical strength.
Exchanging a small amount of resources for long-term benefits was something he was willing to do.
The term "Heavenly Chosen One" was something he never doubted the value of. It was just a small investment, the cost was almost negligible. He only needed to refine and deliver this pill at the beginning of each month.
With his refining speed and wealth, it wouldn't cost him much effort.
After a month, delivering the pill naturally earned the gratitude of both Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan.
Over the month, the news of Xiao Yan's loss of Dou Qi had spread throughout Wutan City.
During this time, Xiao Yan lived each day like a year, enduring the behind-the-back criticisms from almost everyone in the family. Eventually, they even stopped pretending and discussed his loss of Dou Qi openly in front of him.
Having to endure the mockery and sarcasm from those who once bowed and scraped before him, Xiao Yan was mentally exhausted and tormented.
Su Yun didn't stay long in the Xiao family before leaving. He planned to visit the Miteer Auction House. Of course, this was not to respond to the middle-aged manager's attempts to win him over.
However, his intention was to ask the auction house to purchase some medicinal ingredients and other items for him.
Upon arriving at the Miteer Auction House, as expected, he was invited into the VIP room by the middle-aged manager.
"This time, I'm looking to buy some medicinal ingredients," Su Yun stated straightforwardly.
Having interacted over time, they were familiar with each other, and formalities were unnecessary.
"Alright," the middle-aged man nodded, not surprised. Su Yun's visits to the Miteer Auction House were typically for two reasons: buying medicinal ingredients or selling pills.
"By the way, I also want to purchase two types of Beast Flames."
"Beast Flames?" The middle-aged man was a bit puzzled, but then he understood. Many alchemists were greatly interested in various types of flames. Some, who loved collecting Beast Flames, even had dozens of different kinds in their possession. In his view, Master Han, as Su Yun was known, was just suddenly taking an interest in them as a hobby.
"Do you have any specific requirements for these Beast Flames?" the middle-aged man asked.
Su Yun pondered for a moment. "The type of Beast Flame is not important. The higher the quality, the better. Of course, it's fine if you don't have high-quality ones."
The middle-aged man nodded, showing he understood.
"Have you heard of the Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill?" Su Yun asked, looking quite relaxed as if he was leisurely fishing.
"The Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill!" The middle-aged man's expression sharpened.
"Does the master intend to refine the Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill?" He looked somewhat envious.
The Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill was a pinnacle fourth-grade medicinal pill, comparable to a fifth-grade pill. This pill could enhance the strength of Dou Grandmasters and even help one break through from Dou Grandmaster to Dou Spirit.
The reason the middle-aged man, Miteer Kuang Teng, was so keen was that this pill could even help a Dou Grandmaster break through to Dou Spirit!
Like Luo Qiandust, he was a nine-star Dou Grandmaster. He had been stuck at this stage for three years and, barring any surprises, would need another three years to have a chance to break through to Dou Spirit, albeit with low confidence.
A Dou Spirit! A Dou Spirit level fighter was a pillar of strength in the Jia Ma Empire.
In a year, there would be a reshuffling of positions within the family. Competition in large families was fierce, and without any unexpected developments, his most likely outcome in a year's time would be to remain in Wutan City.
At best, he might be transferred to a city with a slightly better ranking than Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire.
But if he could break through to Dou Spirit, everything would change! This world, after all, still valued strength. If he had the strength of a Dou Spirit, then in the next position reshuffle, he might be assigned to a more prosperous city or even be called back to the imperial capital to be closer to the center of power.
Miteer Kuang Teng's reaction did not escape Su Yun's notice.
Taking a list of medicinal ingredients from his storage ring, Su Yun smiled and said, "These ingredients, along with two Beast Flames, as payment, I'll offer one Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill. What do you think?"
Su Yun, through his system's scanning capability, knew of Miteer Kuang Teng's nine-star Dou Grandmaster cultivation level. This was his way of repaying him.
During his time in Wutan City, Kuang Teng had opened many doors for him, using family influence and his own connections to procure many rare medicinal ingredients. A Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill was a suitable recompense.
