The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Inside Xiao Yan's room.

The rising sun shone through the cracks in the window into the tidy room.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed alone, his eyes closed, his breathing rhythmic.

A moment's work.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes.

Then he looked at the Qi Refining Pill on the table.

This is a pill taken during the Qi Refining stage of cultivation; it can accelerate the cultivation process.

It's sold in Danfangqun Mall.

Moreover, it was relatively cheap. As an eighth-grade alchemist, Yao Lao learned it after only watching it once.

Although the two systems of power are different, the principles of alchemy are largely the same.

They all extract the energy from herbs, combining and integrating it to create a higher and purer form of energy.

After swallowing two Qi Refining Pills, Xiao Yan continued his cultivation.

He was still holding two spirit stones in his hand.

Spirit stones are a unique product of the cultivation world.

When the spiritual energy of a mountain range is particularly rich, spirit stone mines will form within the mountain range.

Spirit stones can be obtained by mining spirit stone mines. Spirit stones contain rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones is obviously much faster than absorbing the spiritual energy from the air. Moreover, the spiritual energy in spirit stones is particularly pure and easier to refine and absorb.

A whole morning has passed.

Xiao Yan completely digested and absorbed the two Qi Refining Pills and the two spirit stones in his hand. After the spirit stones had absorbed all their spiritual energy, they shattered into a pile of powder.

"call!"

Xiao Yan exhaled softly, his body crackling with energy as his power surged even more.

After staying up for two consecutive nights, I finally broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Fourth level of Qi Refining.

This speed is already considered very fast.

As expected of Long Aotian, plus cheat codes, plus an old man.

At this moment, Yao Chen floated out of the ring and looked at Xiao Yan with satisfaction.

"Xiao Yanzi, your temperament is truly remarkable."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed after breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, as he could feel that the spiritual power within his body had essentially doubled.

If he were to face a Dou Zhe level opponent, he could exchange a few blows. Keep in mind that Xiao Yan has only been cultivating for a little over half a month.

In Utan City, it would take at least 20 years for a talented individual to become a Fighter.

Half a month of arduous training is equivalent to 20 years of the other party's training.

Comparing people to each other is so annoying!

After reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, Xiao Yan set his sights on alchemy.

Not only do they need to refine pills to make money, but they also need to refine pills to make themselves consume better elixirs.

The extremely fast pace of cultivation can be addictive.

Xiao Yan was already addicted, and he wanted to cultivate even more diligently and as hard as possible.

"Teacher, I want to learn alchemy."

Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said.

Yao Chen was not surprised at all.

"The path of alchemy is not easy. Many people spend countless years without taking the first step, and some cannot even become a first-grade alchemist."

Yao Chen slowly began to speak, saying that in this Dou Qi Continent, becoming an alchemist requires not only talent, but also aptitude and soul power.

A strong soul is a prerequisite for becoming an alchemist.

This small threshold has isolated 80% of the people in the Dou Qi Continent.

In Wutan City, a first-grade alchemist is even more sought-after than a Grand Master.

Many people on the Dou Qi Continent are engaged in businesses that involve risking their lives, and they desperately need the pills and healing items made by alchemists.

Some large families would even worship alchemists to concoct medicines for them.

However, alchemists are extremely rare; even among the many members of the Xiao family, not a single one has emerged.

They can't even afford to make offerings to a first-grade alchemist.

Xiao Yan made up his mind and said very seriously.

"I am ready, teacher, please advise me."

"Alright, alright, but the path of alchemy must be taken one step at a time. First, we need to understand the most basic pharmacology of alchemy."

Yao Chen was like an excellent teacher, explaining the knowledge he understood.

……

……

Jiang Nan found it boring. Ever since Xiao Yan was provoked, he had been staying in his room every day, cultivating diligently and staying up all night to practice immortality.

They've all stopped caring about him being the group admin.

I quickly ran out of things to do in Utan City; it was completely uninteresting.

Jiang Nan said she wanted to go out and have fun.

The Dou Qi Continent is very large.

There must be many fun places, such as Medusa's snake-people tribe, where Xiao Yan's future wife is located.

Or perhaps they were one of the eight ancient tribes.

However, before Jiang Nan decided to go out for a stroll, he should first let Xiao Yan know, otherwise what would happen if Xiao Yan couldn't find him?

You don't actually think you're going to destroy the world, do you?!

Xiao Yan's room.

As soon as Jiang Nan arrived, he smelled a burning odor, followed by a huge explosion.

It's quite normal for a novice alchemist to explode their furnace.

Just keep frying them until they're done.

Fortunately, the courtyard where Xiao Yan was located was relatively remote.

The impact of the fryer is not significant.

A few seconds later.

Xiao Yan emerged from the room with an afro and his face covered in ash.

"Cough cough cough, teacher, what's going on? The oven keeps exploding!"

"You idiot, I told you to concentrate, concentrate! You've been staying up too late these past few days! How dare you get distracted while refining the magic core? You're the one who's going to get burned!"

Xiao Yan has become a night owl these past few days, which has caused him to be in a bit of a daze.

Just as he was refining the medicine, he suddenly became distracted.

This directly led to the failure of the medicine refining process and the furnace exploding.

"Cough cough cough, I know I was wrong, teacher."

"Failure is inevitable, that's normal. As a beginner, you've already done a great job. You should know that many people never get to embark on this path in their entire lives."

Yao Chen didn't feel there was anything wrong with Xiao Yan's failure.

Failure is the mother of success.

Xiao Yan has successfully refined medicine several times in the past few days.

This can be considered as stepping into the entry level of a first-grade alchemist.

This is progress from zero to one.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, those dark circles under your eyes, did you do something naughty tonight?"

Jiang Nan waved his hand with a pleasant smile on his face and said loudly.

"Hey group owner, what brings you here? Sorry! I've been staying up all night cultivating immortality and refining elixirs these past few days, so I haven't had time to play with you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to tell you that I'm going to travel somewhere else and won't be back for a few days."

Jiang Nan then revealed his purpose.

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then nodded. He really didn't have time to spend with Jiang Nan right now.

Chapter 222, Monster Mountain Range

Jiang Nan left Wutan City.

The outside world is vast, and he wants to go and see it. The world is big, and causing trouble is the biggest goal.

Jiang Nan's first place to cause trouble was the Monster Mountain Range.

The Monster Mountain Range of the Gama Empire stretches across the entire empire.

There are many terrifying magical beasts inside, such as the sixth-tier magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

This Douhuang-level magical beast left a deep impression and was considered one of Xiao Yan's important bosses in the early stages of the story.

She is also one of the key figures who facilitated the relationship between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun.

In the novel *Battle Through the Heavens*, perhaps only Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, truly loved Xiao Yan. She didn't care how strong he was, what his identity was, or even his name.

It's a pity that the two didn't end up together.
