Draw
After walking for more than ten minutes, the two returned to the dormitory area. After giving Zi Yan a bottle of pills, Xiao Ling returned to his room alone.
Lying on the soft bed, Xiao Ling stretched lazily. With a thought, he summoned the system panel.
"System, open my personal panel."

Compared to five years ago, Xiao Ling's personal panel had changed considerably.
His cultivation had risen from a Four-star Great Dou Master to a Three-star Dou Wang, while his Soul Power had advanced from the Mortal Realm Mid-stage to the Spirit Realm Early-stage.
As for the improvement in his Soul Power, part of it was thanks to the Taiyi Soul Art he had cultivated since childhood to temper his soul. On the other hand, his innate Soul Power had been several times greater than that of ordinary people. As his body continued to develop, his Soul Power had grown further as well, allowing it to improve so quickly.
The most crucial factor was that when Xiao Ling had been at the Dou Ling Peak, his soul realm had already reached the Great Perfection of Mortal Realm. Because of a previous academy assessment mission, Xiao Ling had earned an opportunity to use the source of the Fallen Heart Flame alone to temper his body. Unlike the time he had used the source together with the top ten of the Strong Ranking, this time he had used it by himself. If not for his extraordinary physical constitution, his special self-healing ability, and his own firm insistence, the academy would never have dared let him take such a risk.
As expected, the process of tempering his body with the source of the Heavenly Flame had been exceedingly difficult. At the time, Xiao Ling had felt as though every inch of his body was being scorched. A moment of carelessness could have caused him to pass out. Fortunately, the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Torso Bone possessed astonishing restorative effects, preventing any mishaps. In the end, through sheer determination, Xiao Ling endured the agony of the Heavenly Flame burning through his body.
Although the process had been grueling and painful, the rewards had been plentiful. Not long after the source Heart Flame body tempering ended, Xiao Ling suddenly sensed that the energy of heaven and earth around him seemed to have been stirred by something strange. Amid the disturbance, faint yet incredibly spiritual currents quietly seeped from the surrounding space before surging toward his brow in an overwhelming torrent.
Xiao Ling immediately understood that his chance to break through into the Spirit Realm Soul had arrived. He promptly sat cross-legged and began cultivating the Taiyi Soul Art, using those spiritual currents to temper his soul. Just as those currents were about to dissipate, Xiao Ling finally managed to enter the Spirit Realm Soul.
Unless one used high-quality heavenly treasures related to the soul, opportunities to break through a major soul realm were exceedingly rare and appeared at unpredictable times. Some people spent their entire lives without ever grasping that fleeting moment of enlightenment, while others might simply drink a cup of tea in a pavilion and naturally break through into the Spirit Realm.
Xiao Ling had seized that opportunity because the Fallen Heart Flame had a special effect on the soul, and the source Heart Flame body tempering had allowed him to suddenly catch that moment. Whenever Xiao Ling recalled it, he could only sigh and say, "Just luck."
With his current Soul Power and Dou Qi cultivation, refining peak sixth-grade pills was now effortless for Xiao Ling, with a success rate of around ninety percent. If he could obtain a medicinal cauldron from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking or another Heavenly Flame, then barring accidents, he could refine any pill below the seventh grade with ease.
No longer thinking about anything else, Xiao Ling turned his attention to his remaining draws. Stroking his chin, he muttered softly, "I still have twenty draws left. We're heading out for training tomorrow, so let's do a ten-draw pull."
With a thought, Xiao Ling used ten draw opportunities.
"System, use ten draw opportunities."
[Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one hundred thousand gold coins] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one hundred thousand gold coins] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one hundred thousand gold coins] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one hundred thousand gold coins] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one hundred thousand gold coins] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one Sect Breaking Pill] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the Heavenly Snake Manual from the Heavenly Snake Mansion treasury] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Mind Splitting Control Method from Douluo Continent] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one Sect Breaking Pill] [Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have drawn one Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill]
With another thought, he stored the gold coins and the pills he had drawn before into his Storage Ring. He then took out the newly acquired items and began examining their descriptions.
[Heavenly Snake Manual: Created by the First Generation Heavenly Snake Mansion Master. It contains cultivation methods and Dou Techniques suitable for those with Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, including the Earth Grade Advanced cultivation method Jade Snake Three Flower Art, as well as its creator's own development experience and cultivation insights regarding the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.]
With a wave of his hand, a green book fell into Xiao Ling's palm. Looking closely, he saw four large green characters written on it: "Heavenly Snake Manual." After casually flipping through its contents, Xiao Ling could not help but praise it. "The First Generation Heavenly Snake Mansion Master truly was extraordinarily gifted. His development of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was simply masterful. With this, Qing Lin won't have to worry about cultivation methods and Dou Techniques in the future. We can also draw on Revered Jade Snake's cultivation insights, which will surely save her many detours." After storing the book in the System Space, Xiao Ling turned to the description of the next item.
[Mind Splitting Control Method: A secret inherited technique of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect of Douluo Continent. Cultivating this secret technique allows one to focus on multiple tasks at once. Its realms are the Two-Aperture Heart Division, Three Aperture Heart Control, Four-Aperture Constant Heart, Five-Aperture Scattered Heart, Six-Aperture Wishful Heart, and Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.]
Picking up a scroll covered in writing, Xiao Ling examined it with great interest. Stroking his chin, he was quite satisfied. "Once I cultivate the Mind Splitting Control Method, I'll be able to improve my efficiency when refining less difficult pills. It can also catch opponents off guard in battle. It's quite a good secret technique." After storing it in his Storage Ring, Xiao Ling focused on the final pill's description.
[Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill: An eighth-grade pill, said to be capable of saving a person as long as they still have a single breath left.]
Staring at the pill, Xiao Ling merely caught a whiff of its fragrance leaking through the gap in the bottle's stopper, yet his entire body relaxed and his fatigue vanished instantly. After examining it carefully, Xiao Ling was somewhat astonished. "This Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill is actually an eighth-grade pill that triggered Nine-Colored Pill Lightning. If it hadn't been sealed in this porcelain bottle, it would have run off the moment it came out. That would've been a huge loss for me." Xiao Ling did not dare inspect it any further and hastily stored it in the System Space.
Seeing that the sky outside was about to grow dark, Xiao Ling rose to his feet and headed for the neighboring dormitory. He intended to chat with Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er for a while. After all, they would be parting temporarily after tomorrow, so he needed to say a proper farewell tonight.
