Little Seven's Mutation

The sudden turn of events startled Mo Tang, who thought he was about to lose his Origin Qi.

To his surprise, when he looked over anxiously, he found that the gray cloud of gas was still there, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Their gazes turned to the culprit, the mischievous and lively Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which was tilting its head in confusion as it looked at the Origin Qi ball on Mo Tang's finger, seemingly puzzled as to why it couldn't swallow it.

"Little one, you really startled me! This isn't for you to eat..."

Mo Tang playfully tapped the other's head with his finger.

Looking at the Origin Qi on his finger, Mo Tang had a guess in his mind.

Although I can extract this bit of Origin Qi from the system, the Origin Qi is still essentially under the control of the system. Apart from myself, the master, no one else should be able to touch it.

This put Mo Tang at ease.

However, there is one thing to be careful about: this Origin Qi will definitely have a special attraction to people or Demonic Beast in this world, so it's best not to show it off too often, lest you cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Mo Tang quickly put the Origin Qi back into the system.

Sensing that the thing that had been tempting him to the deepest part of his heart had disappeared, the Heaven Swallowing Python's originally lively but bewildered eyes suddenly flashed with a purple light, and it reflexively narrowed its eyes.

Mo Tang was unaware of all this. When he looked at the Heaven Swallowing Python again, it had already returned to its previous innocent and carefree state, curled up on Mo Tang's lap and playing by itself.

Seeing this, Mo Tang smiled slightly, patted the other's little head again, and then, amidst the Heaven Swallowing Python's coquettish "na na" sounds, he refocused his attention on his System Panel.

"Well, as for cultivation level, it's best not to increase it too much at once. That would be too shocking and might scare others... Let's increase it by one star first."

After all, he was still in the Misty Cloud Sect, where there were many people stronger than him who could easily see through his strength changes, so it was better for him to keep a low profile for now.

Five-Star Dou Ling, and Five-Star Dou Ling who is not even twenty-five years old, even with normal cultivation, he will definitely be able to break through to Dou Emperor. He is a powerful figure in the entire Jia Ma Empire, and his deterrent power is much greater than that of Mo Cheng back then.

"At this stage, this level of strength is just right..."

During his time in the Jia Ma Empire, Mo Tang did not plan to improve himself any further.

Just as Mo Tang was hiding and absorbing and transforming his Energy Points, a young figure dressed in a black robe, his face completely covered by a hood, walked into the Imperial Capital.

"Teacher, do I really have to participate in this so-called Alchemist Convention?"

Xiao Yan asked in a somewhat hesitant tone.

Because he hasn't obtained the Heavenly Flames, his strength and alchemist level are no match for his contemporaries in his previous life.

Although with the help of the former Grandmaster Alchemist, Yao Old Yao, his strength was still raised to the level of Six-star Dou Master, it was not so easy to improve his alchemy level.

Because of his cultivation technique, Xiao Yan's biggest weakness at this moment is the concentration of Dou Qi in his body, which is simply not enough to support him in refining pills of grade two or higher, even with the help of the Purple Flame.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Old Yao's voice immediately rang in his ears, saying, "Little guy, don't worry, it's just the Alchemist Convention of the Jia Ma Empire, it's nothing compared to a place like Central Plains..."

Here, even a mere Fourth-grade Alchemist could easily crush all the other contestants!

Hearing what Old Yao said, Xiao Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Listen to this...

Is this human language?

That's Fourth-grade Alchemist, that's already incredibly terrifying!

The Old Yao naturally knew what Xiao Yan was worried about. After a moment's thought, he said, "There are still a few days until the Alchemist Convention..."

You are already Second-Rank Alchemist, and with your naturally powerful soul and the aid of the Purple Flame, it is not impossible for you to refine third-grade pills.

Next, go buy some medicinal herbs, then practice your skills and refine some Grade 2 Qi Recovery Pill. You can use them yourself and also earn some money. Then try refining Grade 3 pills..."

Although Xiao Yan didn't think he was qualified to win the championship even if he refined a third-grade pill, he still obediently followed Old Yao's instructions.

Unfortunately, after having several opportunities snatched away by Mo Tang, Xiao Yan is now in a really bad situation. The only way to quickly improve his strength is to rely on his identity as an alchemist.

Even if he can't win the Alchemist Convention, it will still be enough for him to make a name for himself.

At that time, many people and powerful individuals will surely come to him asking him to refine medicine, which will allow him to accumulate more cultivation resources and strive to improve his cultivation level as much as possible before the three-year period ends!

"Misty Cloud Sect... Nalan Yanran, just wait, the good-for-nothing from back then has arrived as promised!!"

His eyes flashed with intense hatred, and Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly.

Clearly, the humiliation and hatred of the past have become his greatest motivation. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as he thinks of the shame of being jilted at his door, Xiao Yan can rekindle the flames of revenge in his heart.

The Old Yao inside the ring could only sigh deeply. Old Yao didn't know whether to be happy or worried that Xiao Yan had such a deep hatred in his heart that constantly spurred him on.

Meanwhile, news of Xiao Yan's arrival in the Imperial Capital the Jia Ma Empire had already traversed thousands of miles and was rapidly transmitted to the Black Corner Region and Jia Nan Academy via a special secret method...

On a secluded mountain peak, beside a cliff, a young girl dressed in a light blue dress stood gracefully. A gentle breeze blew her long, flowing black hair that reached her hips, and as the hem of her dress fluttered, the perfect curves of her figure were faintly revealed.

The girl gazed calmly at the distant eastern sky, silent, like a pure lotus flower untouched by the world.

Xiao Xun'er, or perhaps she should be called Gu Xun'er, is the main female protagonist in the original novel and the little princess of the Gu Clan, one of the two most powerful forces on the Dou Qi Continent.

If Xiao Yan hadn't met Old Yao and hadn't obtained the Flame Mantra, the story might have turned into something like "Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King" or "The Strongest Son-in-Law"...

"It's been over a year, Brother Xiao Yan has finally made it there..."

It has been more than a year since Xiao Yan left the Xiao Clan and Xiao Xun'er went to the Jia Nan Academy.

However, for more than a year, Xiao Yan's whereabouts were always under Xiao Xun'er's watchful eye.

Actually, it's kind of scary to think about...

"Given Brother Xiao Yan's current strength, he might be in danger after going up Misty Cloud Mountain. Tell Ling Ying to make sure Brother Xiao Yan is safe!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, a green figure emerged from the shadows, knelt down on one knee and agreed, before quickly disappearing back into the mountains.
