Cultivating the technique was not difficult, especially since the Elemental Scripture was perfectly compatible with Lu Yunxiao's physique. This made cultivation even simpler.

In just two hours, Lu Yunxiao had converted all the Dou Qi in his body into the Elemental Scripture's exclusive Dou Qi.

After successfully cultivating the Elemental Scripture, Lu Yunxiao absorbed Dou Qi and cultivated even faster. The reserves of Dou Qi within his body became more abundant, and even his control over the Innate Geng Metal Dou Qi within him became far more effortless.

"Sure enough, cultivation techniques are of vital importance to Dou Zhe."

Lu Yunxiao sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes flickered as he recalled what he had seen during his internal inspection just now. Lu Yunxiao could not help asking, "System, I just discovered that deep within my body, aside from the golden Innate Geng Metal Dou Qi, there seems to be an extremely tiny mass of multicolored Dou Qi. What is that?"

"That is Dou Qi of other attributes within the Host's body. The seals of the Innate Elemental Physique are essentially a whole. Since the seal on the Gold Element has been lifted, the seals on the other elements were also disturbed, allowing a trace of origin Dou Qi to leak out. However, that Dou Qi is far too minute to be cultivated."

"If the Host wishes to cultivate that Dou Qi, you must still lift the corresponding seals."

The system spoke indifferently.

Lu Yunxiao raised his brows. His expression shifted for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Then if one day I unseal the Fire Element but not the Wood Element, could I become an alchemist with the tiny trace of Wood-attribute Dou Qi that leaks out?"

"That is possible. The requirement for becoming an alchemist has always been a Fire Element affinity mixed with a trace of Wood Element affinity. If the Host unseals the Fire Element, you can become an alchemist."

"However, whether the Host will have such good luck as to unseal the Fire Element is another matter. After all, the system's mission rewards are activated at random. Based on my understanding of the Host, you are not a Lucky King."

The system spoke in a perfectly serious tone.

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

"Couldn't you put it a little more tactfully?" Lu Yunxiao rolled his eyes, then continued, "Besides relying on the system to lift the seals, are there any other ways to break them?"

"Of course. Aside from having the system lift the seals, there are two other methods."

"First, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects and treasures corresponding to the relevant attribute. If the Host can obtain such spiritual objects or treasures, you can use their energy to break through the seals within your body."

"For example, Heavenly Flames?"

"Yes, for example, Heavenly Flames. If the Host wishes to unseal the Fire Element, you can absolutely rely on Exotic Flame Power."

"Approaching Heavenly Flames without a Fire Element affinity is practically gambling with my life." Lu Yunxiao curled his lips.

"If you want gains, how can you avoid paying a price?" the system's calm voice rang out.

"That's true." Lu Yunxiao fell silent for a moment, then asked again, "What about the remaining method?"

"The third method is insight into laws. If the Host's comprehension of a certain element reaches a sufficiently high level, you can use it to connect with your own physique and forcibly break the seal." The system spoke warmly.

"This third method is even less reliable. To connect with my physique through elemental comprehension, how deep would that understanding have to be? If I had such profound insight, my strength would already have reached a certain level. With that kind of strength, wouldn't it be much easier to seek out all kinds of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects? At the very least, it would be much faster than painstakingly comprehending elements."

Lu Yunxiao could not help complaining.

"Of course this system knows what the Host said, but that is simply the situation. There is nothing this system can do about it." The system replied rather bluntly.

Hearing this, the corner of Lu Yunxiao's mouth twitched. This system really was...

"Looks like, aside from system rewards, the only somewhat reliable way to activate the corresponding physique is the second path."

Lu Yunxiao sighed softly.

"So the Host has already made up your mind, right?" the system asked quietly.

"What do you think? To grow strong as quickly as possible, there are things that must be done. Xiao Yan from the Original Work dared to risk devouring Heavenly Flames. My resolve is naturally no weaker than his."

Lu Yunxiao spoke with a serious expression.

"That is the Host I know." The system laughed.

Lu Yunxiao shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "System, display my system panel. It's been ages since I last looked at this thing."

"Alright!" The system responded and began operating.

"Ding, the Host information panel is as follows."

Host: Lu Yunxiao (Gu Xiao) Age: Fourteen Cultivation: Four-Star Dou Practitioner Soul: Mortal Realm Middle Fate: Destiny Nihilist Physique: Innate Elemental Physique (Sealed, unsealed: Gold) Talent: Detection Perception Cultivation Technique: "Elemental Scripture · Upper" Mysterious-tier Mid-grade Dou Skills: Sword Separating Worlds Earth-tier Low-grade, Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens High Profound-tier, Tide-Watching Fist High Profound-tier, Windwalk Steps Low Profound-tier Weapon: Flying Rainbow Sword, Fourth-Grade Initial Items: Yin-Yang Profound Heart Pendant · Yang Pendant Ninth-Grade Treasure, Basic Storage Ring, Qi Gathering Powder

Looking at the system panel that appeared before him, Lu Yunxiao could not help curling his lips into a slight smile.

His current stats were quite good.

First was his cultivation. Although he had only just broken through to the Dou Practitioner level, and despite desperately suppressing it, the deep foundation accumulated through five years of recuperation and refinement had still rapidly pushed him to the realm of a Four-Star Dou Practitioner.

Moreover, although he had reached the Four-Star Dou Practitioner level, his Dou Qi remained as solid as refined iron. He could still perfectly control the Dou Qi in his body, and his foundation had not suffered the slightest negative impact. After all, this was a natural response rather than a forced increase in strength. Everything had happened naturally.

Next was his soul. Having lived two lives had granted him a soul strength far beyond that of ordinary people. The soul realm of an average Dou Practitioner was only at Mortal Realm Initial, while only exceptionally talented individuals could reach the Mortal Realm Initial Peak, such as Xiao Yan.

His soul realm was clearly even higher, having reached Mortal Realm Middle. Generally speaking, only alchemists of the fourth grade or above possessed such Soul Power.

In the alchemy world, most who possessed a Mortal Realm Middle soul were Tier 5 Alchemists.

Now, Lu Yunxiao had only just become a Dou Practitioner, yet he already possessed Soul Power comparable to that of an ordinary Tier 5 Alchemist. One could imagine just how powerful his Soul Power was.

It could be said that once he unsealed the Fire Element, Lu Yunxiao would become a true alchemy prodigy.

Aside from that, Lu Yunxiao's combination of cultivation technique and Dou Skills was also exceedingly impressive. At the Dou Practitioner stage, his set of techniques and skills was already enough to tower over countless others.

"After breaking through, I really do feel like moving around after being still for so long." Lu Yunxiao blinked, unable to suppress the eagerness rising in his heart. He truly wanted to test just how much of his real strength he could now wield.
