Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

Chapter 3 Famous Scenes of the Annulment of the Engagement

The Fighting Spirit stage is different from the other stages.

This is during the foundational stage.

At this time, the body's meridians are still relatively fragile.

Therefore, it cannot contain the powerful medicinal properties of the elixir.

This is why one cannot use external forces such as pills during the Battle Qi stage.

However, the Foundation Building Elixir is different.

Foundation Building Elixir is a pill, or rather a medicinal liquid, invented by the Elder of Medicine.

Foundation Building Elixir can be used during the Battle Qi stage.

This is not a traditional elixir that acts directly on the human body.

Foundation Building Elixir is a second-grade elixir. The method of use is to drip it into water and then soak the person in the elixir to cultivate.

The principle is to make the energy in the medicine easier for the human body to absorb.

Cultivators who cultivate in a medicinal liquid infused with Foundation Building Elixir can easily absorb the energy within and transform it into their own fighting spirit.

In short, the main principle of Foundation Building Elixir is to surround the cultivator with easily absorbed and transformed energy.

This is why Foundation Building Elixir can be used even by those at the Battle Qi stage.

The Foundation Building Elixir is perfect for Xiao Yang's current use.

As for breaking through to the eighth level of Dou Qi, it is not difficult for Xiao Yang now.

He estimated that in another month or two, he should be able to break through to the eighth level of Dou Qi.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and sat cross-legged, preparing to begin his practice.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Yang got up and opened the door, only to find Xiao Zhan standing outside.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

"Please come in quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan didn't stand on ceremony and strode directly into Xiao Yang's courtyard.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Xiao Zhan said, feigning anger.

Xiao Yang chuckled.

"Hehe, no, you're welcome to come over anytime, Uncle."

"Alright, I've come here today because I have something to do."

"You performed well today, your fighting spirit has reached the seventh level."

"Maybe I'll have a chance to reach the ninth dan by my coming-of-age ceremony next year."

"With such talent, your parents in heaven should be very pleased."

As he spoke, a hint of emotion appeared on Xiao Zhan's face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang remained silent.

To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for his parents in this life.

Not only was he an adult, but his parents died shortly after he was born.

Therefore, he naturally had no feelings for his deceased parents.

Just then, Xiao Zhan took out a small money pouch.

"The family doesn't provide you with many resources. Even if you are talented, you only get a resource allocation of thirty gold coins and a pocket allowance of thirty gold coins per month."

"Here is a thousand gold coins. Use this time of year to buy more herbs and monster meat."

"I aim to reach the ninth level of fighting spirit by the time I come of age next year."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang couldn't help but show a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Over the years, Xiao Zhan has truly been incredibly devoted to him.

They would often give Xiao Yang some gold coins or resources like this.

She treats him like her own son.

Although Xiao Zhan may not be a competent clan leader, he is a competent elder.

Therefore, Xiao Yang also respected Xiao Zhan.

"Alright, take it if I give it to you."

"Remember to cultivate diligently. I'm leaving."

After stuffing the somewhat heavy bag into Xiao Yang's arms, Xiao Zhan left immediately.

Looking at the heavy gold coins in his arms, Xiao Yang felt a warmth in his heart.

He didn't have the chance to change the development of the original plot before.

However, now that he has the system, he has the ability.

He must do everything in his power to change this time.

At the very least, let's not let Xiao Zhan be captured by the Soul Clan like in the original story.

After carefully placing the gold coins, Xiao Yang began to sit cross-legged on the bed to cultivate his fighting spirit.

……

The night passed quickly.

Xiao Yang directly replaced sleep with cultivation.

However, this did not affect his energy in the slightest.

Although he didn't sleep all night, he is still very energetic.

Xiao Yang guessed that the fighting spirit should have the effect of restoring mental strength.

Otherwise, Yao Lao wouldn't have absorbed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit.

Even if it's a test, it doesn't need to take three years to absorb the information.

After having breakfast, Xiao Yang continued practicing the Mountain-Opening Fist.

When he finished his training at noon and was on his way to lunch, he suddenly heard people around him saying that a distinguished guest had arrived at his home.

Xiao Yang had a sudden thought.

Distinguished guest?

Could it be...?

He suddenly remembered that the day after the story began was the day Nalan Yanran arrived!

He hurried to the family reception room.

Even if he couldn't stop the engagement from being called off, he could try to get Xiao Zhan to ask everyone else to leave first, so that Nalan Yanran could cancel the engagement privately.

In fact, Xiao Yang felt that Nalan Yanran was not entirely wrong in announcing the engagement.

It's just that the method was wrong.

Nalan Yanran could have chosen to let both sets of parents discuss annulment of the engagement privately.

Or, simply don't mention it at all.

The Xiao family has now fallen so low that they can only stay in a place like Wutan City.

Therefore, as long as the Nalan family doesn't bring up this matter, the Xiao family won't dare to bring it up either.

After all, the Xiao family now is not the fighting family it used to be.

Alternatively, Nalan Yanran could have Yunyun talk to the Nalan family about this matter and then discuss it privately to compensate the Xiao family.

There's no need to annul the engagement; just pretend it never happened.

It's fair to say that there are countless ways to avoid a marriage alliance with Xiao Yan.

However, Nalan Yanran chose the dumbest option.

It's not just a slap in the face to the Xiao family, but also to the Nalan family.

This matter was decided by Master Nalan and Master Xiao.

A younger person breaking off an engagement without permission is essentially slapping their own father in the face.

Not only that, but it also earned the Yunlan Sect a bad reputation for abusing its power.

Soon, Xiao Yang arrived at the entrance of the reception room.

Just as he arrived, a somewhat immature yet firm voice came from the reception room.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang knew what was going to happen next.

"Alas, it's too late."

He knew that Nalan Yanran had already proposed annulment, and the matter was now irreversible.

Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Yan came out of the reception room.

There was still some blood on his left hand.

“Brother Yang…”

At this moment, a trace of anger still lingered in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Besides that, there's also a bit of confusion.

Although he made a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran.

However, Xiao Yan currently lacks confidence in fulfilling this three-year agreement.

Those who are family know their own situation.

Xiao Yan's fighting spirit would mysteriously disappear every time he cultivated it.

Not to mention, even during my practice today, the situation remained the same.

Even if it recovers.

Given his previous cultivation speed, it's uncertain whether he could break through to the Dou Zhe level in three years.

Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said firmly.

"I believe in you, you can do it!"

Chapter 4 Rejuvenating Elixir

“Brother Yang…”

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yang with deep emotion.

Even after he lost his talent, Yang Ge treated him the same as before.

This touched Hsiao Yen, who had experienced being looked down upon by others.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes were full of determination.

Not everyone is pessimistic about themselves.

There are still people who believe in themselves!

"Brother Yang, I'm going to cultivate now!"

He needs to hurry up and cultivate.

Although the fighting spirit cultivated would inexplicably disappear.
