Looking at the magnificent system panel, Xiao Yang's eyes were filled with emotion.

In just over two years, who could have imagined that a kid with a Dou Qi level of seven would directly reach the Dou Zong level!

Even Xiao Yang, who had just obtained the system, couldn't imagine it.

At first, he thought the system's functions were just so-so.

Even a little bit of proficiency requires countless battles to achieve.

However, as the snowball effect continued, Xiao Yang's talent became increasingly powerful.

He is now improving his proficiency at an exceptionally fast pace.

In reality, even if you rely on the system's proficiency tasks to slowly practice a few hundred or a few thousand times to improve your proficiency, that's already quite good.

Especially for those high-level fighting techniques, this kind of training can improve your proficiency, making it very cost-effective.

You should know that many people can't even get started!

The higher the level of a fighting technique, the harder it is to get started.

Xiao Yanggang's initial comprehension was such that even after hundreds of training sessions, he couldn't improve his proficiency in Yellow-Rank fighting techniques by even a little bit.

Let alone beginner-level fighting skills.

Even if it's a low-level fighting technique, he himself might not understand it.

But now, he can master the Heavenly Rank fighting techniques after just one look.

Watching it several times and reflecting on it carefully can even improve your proficiency.

His comprehension had long since reached a terrifying level.

The same applies to elixirs.

It took several attempts to finally succeed.

However, nowadays, Xiao Yang rarely fails when refining elixirs.

He can even refine more than a dozen Grade 6 pills at the same time without failing even one!

Moreover, what is produced is at least of superior quality.

Among them are many pills of perfect quality.

Even Yao Lao, who was once known as the number one alchemist on the mainland, could not match Xiao Yang's growth rate.

Now, Xiao Yang can even start trying to refine eighth-grade pills!

After breaking through to the Dou Zong level, Xiao Yang's cultivation was sufficient to support him in attempting to refine eighth-grade pills.

He plans to try it out in the meantime to see if he can make it.

Xiao Yang already had a target before this.

That is the Zongying Pill, a three-colored pill among the eighth-grade pills.

The Zongying Pill's effect is very simple: it increases a Dou Zong's cultivation level to the first star.

This is also the only pill that Xiao Yang currently knows of that can enhance the cultivation level of a Dou Zong.

Even in the original work, this kind of elixir never appeared.

He had never heard of it before.

He guessed that this must have been created by some alchemist and then not passed on to others.

Or perhaps it's an ancient, lost elixir formula.

He had previously asked Elder Yao if there were any pills that could improve the cultivation level of a Dou Zong.

He received a negative answer at the time.

This was exactly what Xiao Yang had expected.

Because, in the original story, Xiao Yan did not take any pills to enhance his cultivation during his Dou Zong period.

Therefore, Xiao Yang guessed that Yao Lao probably didn't know about the pills that could enhance the cultivation level of a Dou Zong.

Judging from Xiao Yan's situation in the original work.

Before Yao Lao was arrested, he should have already handed over most of the pill formulas he knew to Xiao Yan.

Even with the treasures of the old master, there is no such elixir.

I've never even heard of it.

This is enough to show that the Zong Yingdan technique is very likely lost.

After all, Elder Yao comes from the ancient imperial clan known for its alchemy—the Yao Clan.

Even if Yao Lao was expelled, it's not like he had never heard of the clan's elixirs.

Therefore, Zongying Dan should be a lost elixir.

If this formula becomes known to the outside world, Xiao Yang will also face a lot of trouble.

Dou Zong is considered a mainstay among all factions.

If they knew the effects of Zong Yingdan, many forces would definitely want to take action against Xiao Yang.

Chapter 321 Zong Ying Dan

Basically, all the major forces in Zhongzhou have quite a few fighting masters.

The eight ancient clans also possessed a large number of powerful Dou Zong cultivators.

After reaching the Dou Zong level, it becomes extremely difficult to advance even one star.

Even if it can be improved, it will take a lot of time.

The Dou Qi of a Dou Zong is too strong, requiring a lot of accumulation between each star.

Moreover, once you reach the Dou Zong level, apart from a few top geniuses, you're generally quite old.

In the path of cultivation, the speed of cultivation gradually decreases with age.

The golden period for self-cultivation is before the age of thirty.

Only top geniuses can break through to the Dou Zong level within this period of time.

Such geniuses are extremely rare, even in the Central Plains, a region known for its abundance of geniuses.

In reality, anyone who can break through to the Dou Zong level can be considered a genius.

In some cities of the Central Plains, the Dou Zong might be the strongest.

Even a Dou Zong could become a local tyrant in some small places, living a carefree and leisurely life.

Even in some cities in Zhongzhou, Dou Zong is considered a figure of ancestor level.

After all, there are only a handful of people in Zhongzhou who openly possess strength above the Dou Zong level.

They are a pagoda, a hall, two temples, three valleys, and four pavilions.

Few people know about the eight ancient tribes.

After all, the eight ancient tribes basically lived in their own little worlds.

Moreover, the Xiao tribe has now fallen to the Gama Empire in the northwest continent, becoming a small family in Wutan City.

In the original work, if it weren't for Xiao Yan's rise to power, how could the Xiao clan still be called an ancient imperial clan?

While other ancient imperial clans had their own Saints who had been released from prison, the strongest member of the Xiao clan, or rather the Xiao family, was only Xiao Zhan, a Grand Master.

Under such circumstances, how could anyone possibly believe that the Xiao family could be ranked alongside other imperial families?

These seven ancient imperial clans usually live in the small world created by their ancestor, Emperor Dou, and rarely come to the outside world.

Therefore, relatively few people in Zhongzhou know about it.

Even the ancient imperial clans were not as famous as this so-called "One Tower, One Hall, Two Ancestral Temples, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions".

One Pagoda, One Hall, Two Temples, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions are the abbreviations for the eleven largest forces in Zhongzhou.

The tower and the hall represent the two most powerful forces on the surface: the Pill Tower and the Soul Hall.

Both of these forces have Fighting Saints!

The two sects are the Heavenly Nether Sect and the Flower Sect. These two forces are second only to the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace, and both possess the strength of a half-saint.

Next are the three valleys: Sound Valley, Burning Flame Valley, and Glacier Valley.

What's particularly special about Burning Flame Valley is that it has a Supreme Elder—Fire Cloud Ancestor.

The opponent is also a Fighting Saint!

As for the Sound Valley and the Ice River Valley, the strongest among them is only a Dou Zun.
