Chapter 11 Six Months Later

After Xiao Jue refined several batches of Condensation Pills, Yao Lao went straight back. He was afraid that if he stayed to continue watching, he might suffer a qi deviation. Such talent was too enviable.

After refining several batches of Condensing Liquid Pills, Xiao Jue stopped and went out of his house. Continuing to refine third-grade pills would not be of much help to him, so he did not take any Condensing Liquid Pills to break through. He planned to take them when he reached the eighth-star Dou Shi level.

He arrived at the Grand Elder's residence, found Xiao Ning who was cultivating, and asked, "Xiao Ning, did Xun'er refuse your gift?"

Xiao Ning opened her eyes, looked at Xiao Jue with a deep gaze, and pointed to the necklace on the bedside table, which had obviously been returned.

"Here, these are your second-grade pills." Xiao Jue handed two jade bottles to Xiao Ning and said, "This is called Foundation Establishment Elixir. It can help increase the cultivation speed during the Battle Qi stage. Just add a few drops to a bucket of water and then cultivate in the medicinal bath."

"Really?" Xiao Ning asked in surprise, "Aren't you supposed to avoid taking any pills to enhance your strength during the Dou Qi stage?"

"I already told you it's a medicinal bath." Xiao Jue rolled her eyes in annoyance. "This dose of Foundation Establishment Elixir should last about two months. I'm leaving now."

"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Jue."

Xiao Ning's voice of gratitude came from behind. Xiao Jue waved his hand with his back to him. They were all family, no need to thank him. From now on, he would call Xiao Ning his cousin, and Xiao Ning would call him his brother-in-law. They would treat each other as they were.

Xiao Jue eventually found Xun'er. Because of Xiao Yan, he and Xun'er had a good relationship. In Xun'er's eyes, he was second only to Xiao Yan.

"Cousin Xiao Jue, what do you want to see Xun'er about?" The girl tilted her head and muttered, "Brother Xiao Yan doesn't know what's wrong, he hasn't come to see Xun'er lately, and neither have you, Cousin Xiao Jue."

The girl was dressed in a purple dress, with a cool and indifferent temperament, like a lotus flower in the mortal world. Her slender waist was as thin as a willow leaf, and she could be easily grasped with one hand. Her long black hair was casually tied with a piece of light purple ribbon, which flowed smoothly down to her waist along her beautiful curves. Two small green bells hung on her fair wrists, making her look like a figure in a painting.

Xiao Jue smiled and handed her three jade bottles. "These are two portions of second-grade Foundation Establishment Elixir. A drop of this in water can sustain cultivation for two months. It's a medicine to accelerate cultivation during the Battle Qi stage, with no side effects. There's also a Qi Gathering Powder, which I'm giving Xun'er as an early gift for her breakthrough to Battle Zhe."

"Then Xun'er will accept it." Xun'er smiled and accepted it, saying playfully, "Thank you, Cousin Xiao Jue. Xun'er will break through to the Dou Zhe level as soon as possible."

After chatting with Xun'er for a few minutes, Xiao Jue left and went to the back mountain of the Xiao family.

He has recently mastered alchemy and now plans to start practicing combat techniques. After filtering through the combat techniques left behind by the Yin-Yang Sage, he finally chose three.

Mid-level Earth-rank combat skill: Yin Yang Annihilation!

Advanced Xuan-rank combat skill: Minor Void Step!

Advanced Xuan-rank combat skill: Yin-Yang Finger!

These three fighting techniques are all related to Yin-Yang Twin Flames. Yin-Yang Twin Flames are born in the void of the universe. The two colors of flame, one black and one white, are intertwined, just like the Yin-Yang twin fish swimming together.

Yin and Yang are the laws of nature, the origin that gives birth to all things in the world. The Yin and Yang flames, which are born from this origin, are one of the flame forms that are transformed from this origin. They are full of the dual power of life and death. Yang fire saves people and brings life endlessly, while Yin fire kills people and leaves no trace of their bodies.

Besides the dual power of life and death, there is also the power of the void. Among them, the intermediate-level Earth-rank fighting skill Yin Yang Annihilation is something Xiao Jue learns as a trump card. With his current fighting spirit, he estimates that he would exhaust his fighting spirit after using it once.

The Xuan-rank advanced movement technique, Small Void Step, is a weakened version of the Di-rank advanced movement technique, Void Step. It also relies on the void power of Yin-Yang Twin Flames. After being mastered, it can borrow a trace of spatial power.

The final Yin-Yang Finger is the simplest Yin-Yang dual flame ability, where the power of life and death intertwine, possessing extremely strong destructive power.

For the next five months, apart from going to the Mittel Auction House once a week to make Ya Fei beg for mercy in tears, Xiao Jue spent his time practicing these three fighting techniques.

The cost of going to the Mittel auction house was not low. In addition to the earliest Yuan Yang and Qi Gathering Powder, Xiao Jue also paid one second-grade pill, the Qi Enhancement Pill, and ten Golden Light Pills.

Ya Fei takes one Golden Radiance Pill every month. Therefore, after Xiao Jue asked the old herbalist to refine the ten portions of Golden Radiance Pill ingredients she had collected and gave them to her, Ya Fei said that she would let Xiao Jue use them for free for the time being.

However, because she couldn't handle it, Xiao Jue could only go once a week. But that one time, Xiao Jue would save up for a whole week, and each time he almost broke Ya Fei.

At the same time, Ya Fei also helped Xiao Jue collect a lot of medicinal herbs, and returned the sixth-grade alchemist badge from the Pill Tower to Xiao Jue.

This badge was previously sent to headquarters by Ya Fei and given to Elder Tengshan of the Mittel family for inspection. That is why so many medicinal herbs were able to be delivered to Wutan City.

Of the medicinal herbs that Consort Ya gave to Xiao Jue over the past five months, apart from the two portions of herbs for Nourishing Soul Pill and the ten portions for Golden Light Pill, which were given to the old medicine master for refining, the rest were kept by Xiao Jue, who planned to try refining the pills himself later.

Incidentally, Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei had also run out of Foundation Establishment Elixir. Xiao Jue gave the remaining four bottles to the two of them, but not to Xun'er, because she had Qi Gathering Powder and broke through to the Dou Zhe level in the fourth month.

Xiao Jue currently possesses a large quantity of ingredients for fourth-grade pills, but he has not refined any of them during this period, instead focusing on practicing combat techniques.

The latest novel is first published here!

Xiao Jue could only say that he had a basic grasp of Yin Yang Annihilation and Small Void Step, but he could already use Yin Yang Finger at will.

"A breakthrough should be imminent."

After successfully learning the three fighting techniques he had chosen, Xiao Jue's training in fighting techniques came to an end, and he began refining pills again.

In one month, Xiao Jue successfully refined the remaining ninety-odd portions of ingredients for the Condensation Liquid Pill without a single failure. He also refined over one hundred Grade 3 Qi-Returning Pills.

With his fighting spirit repeatedly depleted and replenished, coupled with the nearly one hundred instances of mutual support between him and Ya Fei over the past twenty days, Xiao Jue successfully broke through to the level of a five-star Dou Shi.

It's only because Ya Fei's strength and talent are too poor that she didn't help Xiao Jue much. If it were Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, even if it was just the Yang-Yang synergy, Xiao Jue would have at least broken through to the fourth or fifth star level by now.

After completing all of this, Xiao Jue went to find the old apothecary and, under his guidance, attempted to refine a fourth-grade elixir.

The refining of the fourth-grade pill gradually warmed Xiao Jue's blood. He failed eleven times in a row, which made the old medicine master beside him relax a lot.
