Xiao Jin touched the Dou Qi Armor on his body and moved his limbs. Although he was covered in a heavy suit of Dou Qi Armor, it did not hinder his movements.

"Linglong, open the System Panel." Xiao Jin stopped circulating his Dou Qi, and the Dou Qi Armor on his body gradually dissipated.

Host: Xiao Jin, Cultivation: newly advanced Da Dou Shi, Second-grade Alchemist, Breakthrough Points: , Technique: Blazing Flames Burning Heaven (Heavenly Rank High-grade), Dou Technique: Tablet Splitting Hand (Yellow Rank Mid-grade), Items: Mid-grade Magic Core, weapon Fire Glazed Sword

"Linglong, what are the system lottery and enhancement functions for?" Xiao Jin asked curiously.

"Host, the system lottery function was unlocked when the host advanced to Dou Master. Its purpose is to draw prizes." Xiao Jin was speechless. "Isn't that obvious? I mean, what good things are in the prize pool? How many Breakthrough Points does one draw cost?" Xiao Jin felt that his system was a little slow.

"Oh, please check for yourself, Host." As soon as Linglong finished speaking, a massive roulette wheel appeared before Xiao Jin. It was filled with a dazzling assortment of items—Heavenly Rank Techniques, Heavenly Flames, Alchemist Inheritances, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques, all kinds of medicinal pills, and puppets of varying strengths.

Looking at all the treasures on the wheel, Xiao Jin nearly drooled. But when he saw that three-fifths of the wheel was occupied by "Thank You for Participating," his excitement gradually cooled.

"Linglong, how many Breakthrough Points does one draw cost?"

"Host, you only need 1,000 Breakthrough Points for one draw." Xiao Jin froze. He felt that as his strength increased, the system seemed to be becoming more and more humanlike. Could it be that his previous strength had been insufficient to unlock more humanized services?

Xiao Jin fell silent. He was considering whether to go all in at once. The first draw had a high chance of yielding something good. After all, the system wanted him to spend more Breakthrough Points on future draws, so the first one could not possibly be too shabby.

Damn it, I'm doing it. "Linglong, give me twenty-seven draws in a row." Xiao Jin shouted.

"Ding. The roulette has started. Please place your hand on the roulette wheel. Lowering your hand signifies the start of the draw." The roulette wheel before Xiao Jin slowly began to spin. Xiao Jin placed his hand on it, and the wheel began spinning wildly, leaving him dizzy. He slowly lowered his hand, and the wheel gradually came to a stop.

Something good has to come out. Xiao Jin screamed madly in his heart.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained an Earth Rank Peak Demon Puppet." Xiao Jin was overjoyed. As expected, the first draw had produced something good. This Earth Rank Peak Demon Puppet was equivalent to a peak Dou Zong expert. Even if every remaining draw was "Thank You for Participating," he had already made an enormous profit.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained two Earth Rank Dou Technique Proficiency Cards." Xiao Jin was even more delighted this time. He had two Earth Rank Dou Techniques that he had not begun cultivating due to a lack of Breakthrough Points. With these two Earth Rank Dou Technique Proficiency Cards, he could master both techniques, and his strength would surely soar by a huge margin.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Sixth-grade Alchemist Inheritance." Xiao Jin was not overly excited this time. Perhaps he had become numb, or perhaps the Sixth-grade Alchemist Inheritance was simply a little inferior to the things he had drawn earlier.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a medicinal cauldron from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, the Myriad Auspicious Cauldron." Xiao Jin was still wondering what the Myriad Auspicious Cauldron was when—

A brilliant golden light appeared on the roulette wheel before him. "Wow, a golden legend!" Xiao Jin was ecstatic. "Ding. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Nascent Emperor Flame."

Xiao Jin froze. The Nascent Emperor Flame? What did that mean?

"The lottery has ended. All items have been placed in the System Space."

All the remaining results were "Thank You for Participating," but that was already enough. If he had bought the rewards from this lottery with Breakthrough Points in the shop, the amount required would likely have exceeded his imagination. "The first draw really does have a bonus." Xiao Jin said smugly.

"Linglong, I know what all the other rewards are, but what the hell is the Nascent Emperor Flame?"

Of course, he knew about the Imperial Flame. It was a flame formed from the fusion of twenty-three Heavenly Flames, the absolute ruler among all Heavenly Flames. Heavenly Flames themselves were nurtured by Heaven and Earth over countless years, and each possessed power capable of destroying the world. Every one of the top three on the Heavenly Flame Ranking could transform into a fire spirit and was an apex expert of this continent.

Each possessed strength of at least a Five-star Dou Sheng. Of course, there could only be one such strange flame born from Heaven and Earth on the entire continent. Only after the destruction of the previous top-three Heavenly Flame could another possibly be born.

"Host, the Nascent Emperor Flame is the earliest form of the Imperial Flame. It possesses the characteristics of all Heavenly Flames, such as the devouring power of the Nihility Devouring Flame or the purification power of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. Its strength will continuously unlock as the Host's strength rises."

So that was it. Xiao Jin took the Imperial Flame out of the System Space. A dazzling seven-colored flame floated quietly in the air. The surrounding temperature did not rise at all, as though it was not a flame but a seven-colored cloud.

"Linglong, can my current strength fuse with the Nascent Emperor Flame?" Xiao Jin lacked confidence.

"Rest assured, Host. The system will help the Host complete the refinement and guarantee a painless process."

"Fine, then. System, refine the Nascent Emperor Flame."

As soon as Xiao Jin spoke, the Seven-Colored Flame before him flew toward him and directly entered his Dantian. Xiao Jin did not feel anything at all.

At that moment, after entering his Dantian, the Nascent Emperor Flame began transforming the quality of Xiao Jin's Dou Qi. The Dou Qi within him rapidly shrank until only one-quarter remained. That remaining quarter of Dou Qi, along with the diamond-shaped crystal inside his body, turned seven-colored.

Xiao Jin felt a wave of emptiness and hurriedly circulated his technique. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy surged toward him and was refined by the Nascent Emperor Flame within his body, turning into streams of pure, colorful Dou Qi. Xiao Jin frantically circulated his technique, and the hollow feeling inside him gradually faded. Only after ten minutes did it completely vanish, and the Nascent Emperor Flame within him finally settled down.

"Congratulations, Host, on successfully refining the Nascent Emperor Flame." The system's voice rang in Xiao Jin's mind.

Xiao Jin clenched his fist and felt the changes within his body. "Other than the improved quality of my Dou Qi, nothing seems particularly special." Xiao Jin said indifferently.

"Forget it. At least I have a Heavenly Flame now. I won't have to waste time refining pills because my flames are too weak in the future."

"Linglong, accept the Sixth-grade Alchemist Inheritance."

"Ding. The Host's Sixth-grade Alchemist Inheritance will come with a vast amount of memories and Soul Power. The Host may be unable to endure it and fall unconscious for a day. Does the Host wish to continue?"

"Continue!" Xiao Jin gritted his teeth. It was night anyway. If he fell unconscious, he could just treat it as sleep.

As soon as Xiao Jin spoke, segment after segment of memories surged into his mind like a tidal wave, accompanied by pure Soul Power that forcibly elevated his Soul Power to the level of a Sixth-grade Alchemist. Unable to withstand the massive flood of memories, Xiao Jin fainted.
