Seeking Help

The reason a Dou Zhe could not cultivate a Heaven-Tier Cultivation Technique was nothing more than insufficient Dou Qi. They could not complete a full cycle of the technique, forming a circulating flow of Dou Qi energy.

Thus, the solution provided by the system was simple: consume a portion of Amethyst Accompanying Source!

However, to obtain Amethyst Accompanying Source, he would have to deal with a Rank 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King—a magical beast at the Dou Emperor level.

With the Xiao Family's handful of weaklings, wouldn't they just be delivering themselves as a snack?

Of course, it was not as though Xiao Yang had no solution. All he had to do was act cute in front of Xun Er.

Back when he was still an infant, Xun Er had often held him and played with him.

Their relationship was truly special. So long as Xiao Yang asked, Xun Er would certainly grant his request.

In short, there was familial affection between Xiao Yang and Xun Er, but nothing romantic.

Xiao Yang was a man who believed in loving many women, but given Xun Er's background and status, she truly was not suitable.

But the most crucial issue was this: acting cute... Did Xiao Yang not have any pride?

Early the next morning, Xiao Yang carried breakfast over and knocked on Xun Er's door.

"Huh? Little Yang? Why did you have time to visit your sister today? How rare! You even brought Steamed Soup Dumplings."

Xun Er blinked her lovely large eyes. "Go on, then! What do you need your sister's help with?"

"Cough..." Xiao Yang could not help letting out a dry laugh. "Was I really that obvious?"

"You..." Xun Er shook her head helplessly. "Ever since we were little, you only ever personally made food and brought it over when you needed to ask someone for a favor. Go on. What do you want this time?"

Xiao Yang set down the Steamed Soup Dumplings, then pulled several thick sheets of paper from his robes. They were covered in writing and illustrated with diagrams of movements.

Xun Er took them and slowly read through them. "Eight Section Brocade? This is... a cultivation technique that can assist cultivation during the Dou Qi stage?!"

Xun Er froze. For tens of thousands of years on the Douqi Continent, there had never been a specific cultivation technique for the Dou Qi stage. One could only rely entirely on one's own talent.

That was because the Dou Qi stage was simply too weak. Such thin Dou Qi was fundamentally insufficient to complete a full circulation through one's meridians.

Naturally, few top experts would devote the effort to developing any cultivation technique for the Dou Qi stage.

The Eight Section Brocade Xiao Yang had produced was actually nothing more than a Daoist health-preserving exercise from his previous life.

It was simply that in the Douqi Continent's environment, which was rich in spiritual energy, it had produced effects far beyond his expectations.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become a Dou Zhe at the age of nine.

As the foremost academy on the Douqi Continent, Jia Nan Academy, founded by members of the Lei Clan, required applicants to reach the eighth stage of Dou Qi by the age of eighteen.

By ordinary standards, beginning cultivation at four and reaching the ninth stage of Dou Qi by fifteen was already considered exceptionally talented.

A nine-year-old Dou Zhe like Xiao Yang could only be described as unprecedented and shocking!

Therefore, Xiao Yang also needed an explanation to make his talent seem less monstrous.

However, even without the Eight Section Brocade, Xiao Yang was confident that, with his talent, becoming a Dou Zhe at ten would not have been difficult.

The reason Xiao Yang had not handed the Eight Section Brocade to Xiao Zhan was also simple. With the Xiao Family's strongest member merely being a Da Dou Shi, they could not possibly keep such a technique safe.

This was not the same as Yao Lao's Foundation Establishment Liquid.

Xun Er put away the Eight Section Brocade and looked at Xiao Yang. "Tell me, Little Yang. What exactly do you want? So long as it is not excessive, your sister will get it for you!"

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King's Magic Core, as well as Amethyst Accompanying Source and Amethyst Spirit Crystal," Xiao Yang said solemnly.

"Alright!" Xun Er nodded without the slightest hesitation.

After breakfast, Xiao Yang returned to his own small courtyard.

Watching Xiao Yang leave, Xun Er called softly, "Old Ling!"

As soon as her voice fell, a patch of shadow behind her suddenly writhed. An aged figure then emerged. The old man bowed respectfully to Xun Er and smiled. "Miss."

"Old Ling, make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range as soon as possible and retrieve the things Little Yang wants!"

"Miss, but..." Ling Ying hesitated somewhat.

A disdainful smile appeared on Xun Er's lips. "The strongest people in Wutan City are only a few Da Dou Shi. There is not even a Dou Ling among them. What is there for you to worry about, Old Ling?"

Ling Ying could not help but pause at those words, remembering the pile of treasures their clan leader had stuffed into his young miss's possession.

To say nothing else, she had over a hundred Earth Core Lightning Beads alone.

Even a Dou Zun expert, if struck head-on by one of those, would be lucky to survive without being stripped of a layer of flesh.

And what level were the strongest experts in the Jia Ma Empire?

His worries truly seemed unnecessary.

Ling Ying nodded, and his figure slowly faded away.

Ling Ying was highly efficient. In just two days, he successfully obtained the items Xiao Yang had requested.

The instant the items reached his hands, the system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind once more: "Changed the Magical Beast Mountain Range storyline. Reward: Avici Dao Three Blades."

A smile tugged at Xiao Yang's lips. Sure enough, he had guessed right—the condition for triggering the system was causing trouble.

This time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had been taken out ahead of schedule. Naturally, Yun Yun would no longer be able to visit the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and Nalan Yanran would be unable to obtain the Amethyst Spirit Crystal.

When the time came for the Three-Year Agreement, Nalan Yanran might not even be able to break through to Da Dou Shi, losing even more miserably than in the original story...

Tsk! Just thinking about it was delightful!

But what mattered now was using the immense energy of the Amethyst Accompanying Source to officially begin cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Art!

Starting with a Heaven-Tier Cultivation Technique—just thinking about it filled him with anticipation!

At noon, on a stone platform atop a cliff in the Xiao Family's Back Mountain.

As its name suggested, the Great Sun Glazed Art was naturally best cultivated at noon, when the sun stood at its zenith beneath the blazing radiance of the great sun.

Sitting cross-legged atop the stone platform, Xiao Yang let every word and sentence of the Great Sun Glazed Art flow through his mind. With a thought, he slowly mobilized the milky-white Dou Qi within his body, guiding it through his meridians according to the cultivation route of the technique.

As the technique began to circulate, the milky-white Dou Qi in his dantian gradually started transforming into the unique golden Dou Qi of the Great Sun Glazed Art.

However, before he had even completed a tenth of a circulation, all the Dou Qi in the vortex within his body had been completely drained.

Without a continued supply of Dou Qi, the result would be a failed conversion of cultivation technique Dou Qi, followed by backlash and the dissipation of his cultivation. In serious cases, he could die on the spot.

Just then, Xiao Yang tilted his head back. The Amethyst Accompanying Source stored in the jade vial held in his mouth immediately poured down his throat, transforming into immense energy that surged into his body!
