Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

From that day on, Xiao Yanzi hid in his own house and devoted himself to arduous cultivation day and night, which allowed Xiao Yao's life to become peaceful. However, before he could have a few days of peace, a certain little girl secretly watched Xiao Yao refine medicine and cultivate at the gate of the courtyard.

One day, when Xiao Yao had just finished refining a batch of pills, he turned his head and looked at a corner of the courtyard gate. There was a girl wearing a bright green dress and with long, thick, straight black hair. Her body was hidden by the wall, and only her small head was showing. She would occasionally shrink back, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

When she realized that Xiao Yao had turned his head towards where she was hiding after finishing refining the medicine, she was so frightened that she quickly pulled her head back. In her panic, she simply changed her hiding place.

In Xiao Yao's view, her lower body was still exposed and not covered by the wall.

Xiao Yao laughed and said, "Girl, don't hide. I've seen everything. Come on, look if you want, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Xun'er walked over with small, quick steps. Her rosy cheeks seemed to still be reeling from what had just happened. She said sweetly, "Brother Xiao Yao, how did you find out? I remember hiding perfectly well and you didn't notice me. Okay?"

Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yao couldn't help but laugh, "Girl, your hiding skills still need some practice. I've known for a few days now, but I couldn't bear to expose you." Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yao clutched his stomach and laughed.

Upon seeing this, Xun'er looked furious. She put her hands on her hips, stomped her little feet on the ground, and looked at Xiao Yao, saying, "Xun'er, is it that funny? Since you knew, why didn't you invite me in? I was outside thinking that Brother Xiao Yao hadn't found out. Humph~"

Xiao Yao looked at Xun'er with a smile, pointed to the stone bench next to the stone table, and said, "Xun'er, sit down."

Xun'er walked over and sat down next to him.

"Brother Xiao Yao, you'd better explain yourself. Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you did this, or I'll let you taste my little fists."

After saying that, she grinned and moved closer to Xiao Yao, clenching her pink little fists at him.

Xiao Yao stopped smiling and forced himself to remain calm, looking at her with a determined gaze: "Girl, tell me, who hides by sticking half their body out and shaking themselves as if they're afraid no one will notice? Isn't that person's behavior funny?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yao couldn't help but laugh.

Xun'er blushed slightly after hearing Xiao Yao's words. She recalled how she had looked when she hid earlier, which was indeed a bit funny. She looked at Xiao Yao and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Yao, could you please not tell anyone about this? Let's just keep it as a little secret between the two of us."

Looking at Xun'er's adorable appearance, Xiao Yao couldn't help but laugh again. He reached out and gently ruffled Xun'er's hair, saying, "Silly girl, you're always so cute. Okay, don't be angry anymore."

Looking at Xiao Yao's doting gaze, Xun'er said sweetly, "Brother Xiao Yao, don't touch my head, you've messed up my hair."

Seeing that Xun'er was just talking but didn't stop him, Xiao Yao said, "Alright, I'll go back to refining medicine. You can watch me refine medicine here, or do whatever you want. You don't need to restrain yourself."

So Xiao Yao stood up, walked to the alchemy area, sat down, crossed his legs, and watched as the medicinal herbs began a new round of alchemy.

As Xun'er watched Xiao Yao's posture while refining pills, and saw how focused and absorbed he was in the process, she murmured to herself, "Brother Xiao Yao, what kind of person are you? How many secrets do you have that no one knows about? I'm really curious."

Little did she know that the closer she got to Xiao Yao and the more she tried to understand him, the deeper she fell into his arms. By the time she realized it, she was already unable to leave him.

Another period of time passed, and Xiao Yao found that there were very few empty jade bottles left in his storage ring. He turned to look at the shelves in the alchemy room and found that they were piled up with jade bottles. He sighed that he had refined so many medicines, more than a dozen of which were grade two, and the rest were grade one.

It was time to go to my father's place, give him some pills, and pick up some materials as well. So I used my soul storage ring to put away the jade bottle on the shelf, pushed open the door, walked out of the courtyard, and headed towards Xiao Zhan's residence.

Just as they were about to arrive, Xiao Yao saw Xiao Zhan approaching and said, "Father, I have something to give you, but it's not convenient to take it out here."

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yao and said calmly, "Let's go back to my room."

The two entered the house and closed the door. Xiao Yao waved his right hand, and neatly arranged jade bottles appeared on the ground.

Xiao Zhan was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Yao's actions, but then he was overjoyed. He quickly picked up one of the jade bottles and opened the wooden stopper. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise, "This, the quality of this first-grade pill is definitely top-notch." He then picked up another bottle, smelled it, and confirmed that this bottle was of the same quality.

"Hiss~, Yao'er, you made all of these."

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "These are all the herbs I've refined over the past six months. Although I wasted some herbs in the process, the success rate is still quite high."

Xiao Zhan looked at the jade bottles on the ground and said, "Yao'er, tell me honestly whether your cultivation has reached the level of Dou Zhe. I remember that every alchemist on the continent must have a cultivation level of at least Dou Zhe to successfully refine pills."

At this moment, Xiao Yao used his own Dou Qi. Xiao Zhan watched as his whole body emitted a golden aura, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yao's dantian, staring at the golden vortex in his body. He said loudly, "Good, my Yao'er is indeed my Qilin child. He has such talent in both martial arts and alchemy, and his cultivation has reached the level of a one-star Dou Zhe. You will definitely be able to reach the level of a Dou Huang in the future, and you may even have the opportunity to reach the level of a Dou Zong."

Xiao Yao thought to himself that he was fortunate to have used the Concealing Breath Technique to suppress his cultivation to the first star of Dou Zhe, and even his alchemist realm could reach the second rank. However, he could not reveal too many of his trump cards to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

The system's voice suddenly appeared in my mind: "Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the achievement 'Affirmation from the Old Father'. The reward is the attack-type low-level Heaven-rank fighting skill Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger (Note: To cultivate this fighting skill, the cultivation level of the first two fingers must reach the level of Fighting King, and the cultivation level of the last three fingers must reach the level of Fighting Ancestor). The reward will be automatically sent to the system space."

Xiao Yao rubbed his hands together with a grin and said, "Father, could you please not tell anyone else about this, especially about my cultivation reaching the Dou Zhe level? Also, could you give me some more medicinal herbs of grades one to three? Any kind of medicinal herb will do, the more the better, hehe."

Looking at Xiao Yao's expectant face, Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Yao'er, you're right. I didn't think it through. You're so young and you can already refine first-grade pills. We should tell others when you're seven. As for medicinal herbs, first and second-grade herbs are easy to find, but third-grade herbs might be a bit expensive. Moreover, some third-grade herbs are very rare in small places like Wutan City. However, with the pills you gave me, I'll have more funds to send people to Mittel to buy them. I should be able to get some of the medicinal herbs you need."

"Alright, Father, then it's decided. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Xiao Yao said, then turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Just as Xiao Yao stepped out of the room, a voice came, "Yao'er, take care of your health. You are still young, you don't need to cultivate so actively."

A lazy voice came from in front of Xiao Zhan: "Ha~, Father, don't worry, I will take care of my health. I'm going back to sleep now."
