A Little Genius Alchemist Shock for Jia Xingtian

Imperial Capital, Jia Ma Imperial Family, Imperial Garden.

Jia Xingtian circled around Xiao Yuan, looking him up and down with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Yao Ye, who was standing to the side, was also staring intently at Xiao Yuan, a boy who was a few years younger than her but was now a super strong person whom even her great-grandfather had to treat with respect.

"You kid, how did your strength suddenly surge to the peak of Four Star Dou Huang?"

Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yuan with complete incomprehension. When Xiao Yuan dealt with Yun Shan before, he was only at the Peak Dou Wang. How could his strength have increased so much in just a few days? Fa Ma, who was standing to the side, finally realized what was happening. He looked at Xiao Yuan carefully and his eyes were filled with a bit of numbness.

There's nothing strange about it. In just over a year, this kid's alchemy skills reached the sixth rank. It wouldn't be impossible for him to advance four ranks in just a few days!

When did cultivation become so easy?

Fa Ma felt that he had wasted so many years of his life.

It was just luck.

Xiao Yuan couldn't very well say that he had gone out and killed a Dou Zong expert, and had also taken the expert's life-long Dou Qi and turned it into his own power, so he could only vaguely say that.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes: even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat this kid, and today they would make sure he knew why the flowers were so red.

Back then, they spent countless hours trying to advance to the first star level, but Xiao Yuan's advancement was like taking off in a flash, leaving these old guys both envious and jealous.

"Tell me, Fa Lao, what exactly do you want with the young friend Xiao Yuan brought to my Imperial Family?"

Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, Jia Xingtian asked calmly.

"Naturally, I've come for your Imperial Family's Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast."

Upon hearing this, Fa Ma smiled and said.

Xiao Yuan calmly took out Sixth Grade Alchemist Robe from his Storage Ring and draped it over his shoulders.

Fa Ma meant that he should come dressed in it.

However, there were quite a few people along the way. Although the title of Sixth Grade Alchemist was impressive, walking on the street would definitely make him look like a rare species. So Xiao Yuan put his robe away in advance.

Now that it's time to show off in front of others, it's only natural to put it on.

Sixth Grade Alchemist!?

Even with Jia Xingtian's composure, he couldn't help but shout out loud at this moment, and his voice even cracked.

Yao Ye to the side, also stared wide-eyed, her red lips slightly parted, her face filled with disbelief.

"Fa Lao, young friend Xiao Yuan, you're not here to make fun of me, are you?"

After a moment, Jia Xingtian shook his head, still unable to believe that Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills were so powerful.

"Hehe, Old Man Jia, do you think I would use something like this to amuse you?" Fa Ma chuckled, then continued, "Young friend Xiao Yuan's soul power is even stronger than mine, and his alchemy skills are also quite remarkable. He can refine the Imperial Zenith Pill in one go, so refining the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill you need will not be difficult!"

"I remember you didn't seem to know alchemy before, and you didn't have fire-attribute Dou Qi, right?"

Jia Xingtian frowned and asked, puzzled.

"No need to worry too much about Jia Lao. Just know that I can refine this pill. I will refine the pill here in a while, and I will trouble Jia Lao to protect me."

Xiao Yuan wouldn't explain much to Jia Xingtian. He came to give face to the Imperial Family for two reasons: first, for the Medicinal Herbs; and second, to ensure that the Imperial Family would take good care of the Xiao Clan after he left.

Although the Xiao Clan now has the support of Hai Bodong and the Mittel Family, and even Yun Yun secretly takes care of them, if they were to receive the care of the Imperial Family, the nominal ruling class of the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Clan development would undoubtedly become even faster.

"Yao Ye, go and find the Medicinal Herbs for Mr. Xiao Yuan. Bring five portions over first."

With Jia Xingtian his hand, Yao Ye sent Yao Ye away to carry out his orders.

Immediately afterward, Jia Xingtian seemed to notice that Xiao Yuan's expression was somewhat strange, and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't trust Mr. Xiao Yuan. Regardless of how many Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill Mr. Xiao Yuan can refine from these five Medicinal Herbs, the Imperial Family will only take one. The remaining Medicinal Herbs will be considered as part of the thank-you gift."

"Jia Lao. I'll keep two of these pills for you. In addition, I would like to purchase some rare Medicinal Herbs from the Imperial Family. I hope you can do Jia Lao a favor."

Xiao Yuan didn't expose Jia Xingtian, and said confidently.

"No problem. If Mr. Xiao Yuan is really willing to leave two pills for my Imperial Family, you can choose any of the Medicinal Herbs that the Imperial Family has been treasuring over the years. You don't need to pay anything. Consider it my investment in your genius."

Jia Xingtian waved his hand and said with a cheerful expression.

Over the past year, the Xiao Clan has developed rapidly, but there is no sign of them dominating the Jia Ma Empire. Instead, they continue to allocate a large portion of their businesses along Wutan City. They have always maintained an equal attitude towards the Imperial Family, neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud nor impatient. Originally, the Imperial Family had some complaints about this, but after seeing Xiao Yuan defeat two Dou Zong by himself, no one had any objections.

As long as the Xiao Clan does not intend to overthrow the Jia Ma Empire, the Imperial Family will only strongly support the Xiao Clan's development.

Under Xiao Yuan's influence, the Mittel Family has also begun to expand its influence, but not within the Jia Ma Empire. Instead, it is trying to extend its industries to the surrounding empires.

Apart from the Chuyun Empire, which has a large number of Poison Master, making it difficult to develop its industries, the other surrounding empires now generally have industries owned by the Mittel Family that are developing steadily.

The Imperial Family was naturally happy to see this situation, as long as the two families didn't try to take advantage of them, everyone could make money peacefully.

"Then I thank you for your generosity Jia Lao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

A moment later, Yao Ye returned and handed a Storage Ring to Xiao Yuan.

Nodding to Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and Yao Ye, Xiao Yuan waved his hand, summoning the Black Demon Cauldron. With a flick of his finger, Cyan-Brown Flame flashed out and finally entered the cauldron.

As the Cyan-Brown Flame rose, the temperature here gradually increased, quickly causing Yao Ye, the weakest of the three, to be drenched in sweat.

Whoosh! Xiao Yuan waved his hand again, and a set of Medicinal Herbs flew out from his Storage Ring and landed in the Black Demon Cauldron.

On the way here, Xiao Yuan had already studied the formula for the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill. It was quite difficult, but Xiao Yuan was also quite confident in his ability to do it.

Watching Xiao Yuan's smooth and efficient alchemy process, Fa Ma nodded frequently. Although Xiao Yuan's technique showed that he was not a veteran who had been immersed in the craft for decades, he was very decisive and efficient, without any hesitation. His talent was so strong that it was obvious to the naked eye.

Before the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yuan's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the nascent pill slowly rotating in the Cyan-Brown Flame inside the cauldron. His powerful soul force controlled the temperature fluctuations, always keeping it stable at a constant temperature.

After about half an hour of slow, gentle steaming, a rich medicinal aroma gradually rose from the cauldron. Subtle energy fluctuations emanated from the cauldron, finally striking the inner wall with a deep, resonant sound. Smelling the increasingly intense aroma, Xiao Yuan's expression hardened after a while. The cauldron lid automatically detached, and a perfectly round, cyan pill flew out, landing precisely in Xiao Yuan's hand.

Feeling the faint warmth lingering from the pill in his hand, Xiao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill wasn't considered a top-grade Sixth Grade Pill, it was still a genuine Sixth Grade Pill. Even with the help of a Xiao Yuan Heavenly Flames, there was still a chance of failure when refining a pill of this rank. Fortunately, with the guidance of the Yao Lao master, he managed to refine the pill successfully on his first try without any major incidents.

But that wasn't all. He casually put the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill into a jade bottle and tossed it to Jia Xingtian, earning a few eye rolls in return. Then, Xiao Yuan stretched, shook his body, and started refining pills again.

Over the next day, Xiao Yuan used up all five remaining Medicinal Herbs and refined four Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill.

This success rate amazed Fa Ma, who exclaimed that Xiao Yuan's talent was truly monstrous.

Jia Xingtian finally understood just how terrifying Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills were now, and his heart became even more solemn.

Xiao Yuan could not be won over into the Imperial Family, but at least he had to become a lifelong friend of the Imperial Family!

Even if Xiao Yuan had concealed something in the past, having started learning alchemy from the womb, the fact that he could become Sixth Grade Alchemist at such a young age is already enough to make him a figure worthy of the Imperial Family's best efforts to befriend.

Previously, we hadn't realized how terrifying Xiao Yuan was; the Imperial Family family had fallen far behind the Mittel Family.

Now that this has been discovered, the Imperial Family must at least become the power in the Jia Ma Empire with the best relationship with Xiao Yuan, apart from the Mittel Family!

"This kind of pill is too potent, so only those with a magical beast physique can take it. Moreover, it requires a special alchemist to activate it in order to maximize its potency. Jia Lao, you'll have to take me there."

Xiao Yuan stood up, stretched for a bit, and then said with a smile.

Whoosh! The space rippled, and a purple figure appeared out of nowhere, landing beside Xiao Yuan.

"Finally found you, you've come all this way."

Zi Yan's voice followed immediately.

Who is this?

Jia Xingtian Fa Ma's pupils shrank as they looked at Zi Yan, who had appeared beside Xiao Yuan without any prior warning, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes.

They seemed to sense fluctuations in Space Power emanating from the little girl.

"Our senior sister, Zi Yan."

Xiao Yuan explained with a smile.

"So this is a top student from the Jia Nan Academy. No wonder he has the strength of Dou Wang at such a young age."

Upon hearing this, Fa Ma nodded and slowly spoke.

In fact, he vaguely sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Zi Yan.

"How much longer are you going to stay here? Sister Ya Fei told me to keep an eye on you and not let you fool around outside."

Zi Yan's words were quite blunt, making Xiao Yuan a little embarrassed.

"I'll head back soon; I have some things to take care of."

Xiao Yuan rubbed Zi Yan's head and said with a smile.

"Jia Lao, let's get going."

Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked at Jia Xingtian.

"Okay, come with me."

Jia Xingtian Yao Ye nodded, waved his hand, and led Xiao Yuan and the others towards the Back Mountain of the Imperial Palace. Finally, they landed outside a huge lake on the mountaintop.

As soon as he landed, Xiao Yuan's gaze swept over the huge lake. Here, he could faintly sense a powerful aura hidden in the deep bottom of the lake.

"Huh, there's a big snake in this lake, and it seems quite powerful," Zi Yan, who was beside Xiao Yuan, suddenly exclaimed in surprise as Xiao Yuan sensed it.

Upon hearing Zi Yan speak, both Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye were startled. They then looked at the exquisitely beautiful little girl with astonishment. It was already quite difficult to sense the hidden aura across such a deep lake, but they never expected that this extremely cute little girl could actually describe the shape of the thing hidden within. How could they not be surprised?

Xiao Yuan, standing to the side, wasn't surprised by Zi Yan's performance. Her true form was the supreme demon beast, the Ancient Void Dragon, so it wasn't surprising that she could sense the demon beast hidden in the lake.

"Summon that Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast, Jia Lao."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded hurriedly, and in a flash, he appeared on the lake. His feet landed on the water, and then his hands plunged into the water, and his powerful Dou Qi surged in. As the Dou Qi surged in, the calm lake surface immediately seemed to boil, and countless bubbles appeared.

As the lake surface boiled, Xiao Yuan on the shore could clearly feel a powerful aura gradually surging up from the bottom of the lake.

"Bang!"

Just as the lake surface was boiling even more, suddenly, a huge column of water shot up from the lake, eventually turning into a shower of water droplets that fell down. "Roar!"

A column of water shot into the sky, and a deep, strange roar suddenly erupted from the lake. Its enormous size instantly filled half of the lake.

The magical beast that appeared before Xiao Yuan was no less impressive in size than the Heaven Swallowing Python in its battle form. Its massive, undulating body was covered with deep blue scales that reflected a chilling light under the sunlight. On its enormous head was a single blue spiral horn and a pair of enormous, lantern-like pupils that looked quite terrifying.

As soon as this beast appeared, the air around it became much more humid. Clearly, this giant beast must be the mysterious guardian beast of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast!

"Old Man Jia, what has awakened me this time? Didn't I tell you, my condition is greatly reduced and I can't be of much help?" As soon as the giant beast appeared, its thunderous voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, resounded across the lake.

Standing on the lake, Jia Xingtian looked up at the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast and smiled, saying, "Old man, I'm not bothering you. Look, what's this?"

As he spoke, Jia Xingtian waved his hand, and the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill broke through the jade bottle and floated in front of him, shimmering with faint light.

As soon as the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance enveloped the lake. Upon smelling this fragrance, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast was taken aback, and then a barely concealed ecstasy appeared in its roar:

"The Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill? You got it so quickly?"

Jia Xingtian smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan on the shore and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao Yuan, I'll leave the rest to you."
