Yellow Tier High-level

Feeling the Dou Qi within him, far stronger than before, Xiao Yang smiled faintly.

He had only fused a few Yellow Tier Cultivation Techniques so far. How powerful would he become if he fused Mysterious Tier, Earth Tier, or even Heaven Tier Techniques?

At the thought, anticipation flickered in Xiao Yang's eyes.

I need to fuse more high-tier techniques in the future.

After assessing the strength of his Dou Qi, he began trying out the Myriad Laws Incantation's other functions.

The jade-colored Dou Qi within his body began to shift.

Red Fire Attribute Dou Qi, green Wood Attribute Dou Qi, golden Gold Attribute Dou Qi, blue Water Attribute Dou Qi...

His Dou Qi could freely transform into the attribute of any technique he had cultivated.

He discovered that the characteristics of his Dou Qi also changed along with its attribute.

The explosive force of Fire Attribute, the ferocity of Lightning Attribute, the sharpness of Gold Attribute...

As he experienced the distinct traits of the different attributes, delight flashed across Xiao Yang's face.

It can do that too!

For now, because the technique was only Yellow Tier High-level, the conversion speed was rather slow.

However, if the technique's tier increased, the speed at which he could switch attributes would increase as well.

Xiao Yang would then be able to freely alter his Dou Qi attribute in battle, changing it into one that countered his enemy.

Having tested some of the Myriad Laws Incantation's functions, Xiao Yang was thoroughly satisfied. As expected of a technique rewarded by the system, it truly defied the heavens!

There was still one more thing to do.

"System, claim the rewards!"

Xiao Yang silently said in his mind.

His trip to the Dou Qi Pavilion had yielded far more than just these techniques.

He still had plenty of system rewards waiting to be claimed.

The next moment, a flood of information appeared in his mind.

It was information regarding the rewards he had obtained this time.

There was one Demon Hunter Sword, two bottles of Second-grade Pills, and four bottles of Grade 3 Pills.

After all, even a single First-order pill could cost several thousand Gold Coins.

Second-grade and Grade 3 Pills could easily cost over ten thousand Gold Coins!

Xiao Yang began sorting through his gains one by one.

First was the weapon, the Demon Hunter Sword. It had a Second-order Gold Attribute Magical Core embedded in it, making the sword exceptionally sharp.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yang rarely used weapons.

He intended to sell it and buy some Medicinal Materials and an Alchemy Cauldron.

Yes, now that Xiao Yang had broken through to Dou Zhe, he could begin attempting alchemy.

The Second-grade Pills were the Rejuvenation Pill and Body Tempering Fluid.

As its name suggested, Body Tempering Fluid was used to strengthen the body.

The Rejuvenation Pill, meanwhile, was used to heal injuries.

The Grade 3 Pills were the Swiftness Pill, Explosive Flame Pill, Earth Armor Pill, and Qi Recovery Pill.

The Swiftness Pill worked on those below the Dou Ling realm. After taking it, one's speed would double; the lower one's cultivation, the longer it lasted, with a minimum duration of fifteen minutes.

The Explosive Flame Pill was useful only to Fire Attribute Cultivators.

After taking it, the power of Fire Attribute Dou Skills increased by at least fifty percent. It likewise only worked on those below the Dou Ling realm.

Furthermore, the lower the user's realm, the greater the boost to their Dou Skills.

If Xiao Yang took one now, the power of his Fire Attribute Dou Skills would increase twofold!

However, the Explosive Flame Pill also had a certain side effect: after taking it, he would be weakened for an hour.

As for the Earth Armor Pill, after taking it, a layer of armor would appear on the body that could withstand three attacks from a Da Dou Shi.

The Qi Recovery Pill was used to restore Dou Qi.

These pills were all extremely precious. Xiao Yang did not take them out, instead storing them in the System Space.

In any case, he could retrieve them with a mere thought.

After sorting out his gains, Xiao Yang began considering what he should sell this time.

With his current wealth, buying an Alchemy Cauldron and Medicinal Materials was far beyond his means.

Even the poorest Alchemy Cauldron would cost tens of thousands of Gold Coins!

Including the Medicinal Materials, even if Xiao Yang bought ingredients for First-order pills, several dozen sets would still cost several thousand Gold Coins.

In other words, he needed at least fifty thousand Gold Coins before he could begin learning alchemy.

Perhaps even more than that.

That estimate of fifty thousand Gold Coins assumed that he could refine pills in a Short Time and start making money.

Otherwise, he would have to keep pouring money into Medicinal Materials for practice.

Alchemists truly earned a great deal.

But in the early stages, it was also an extremely costly profession.

That was why there were so few Alchemists.

How could ordinary people possibly have the money to learn alchemy?

After all, fifty thousand Gold Coins amounted to more than half a year's profit for the Xiao Clan.

Of course, that was profit after all expenses had been deducted, including resources and monthly allowances for clan members.

(If calculated otherwise, the Original Work's claim that two hundred thousand was over two years of the Xiao Clan's profit would be rather absurd. Their income and expenses might not even balance out.)

No matter what, the Xiao Clan was one of Wutan City's three great clans.

More than half a year's profits could only barely support the initial expenses of an Alchemist.

If an Alchemist had poorer talent, even if the Xiao Clan wanted to devote all its resources to cultivating one, it might prove difficult.

Thus, Xiao Yang was now troubled over how to get the money.

Borrowing it from Xiao Zhan was impossible.

A few hundred or a few thousand Gold Coins might be feasible.

But fifty thousand Gold Coins? Even though Xiao Zhan was the Patriarch, he could not mobilize such a sum without a legitimate reason.

I can't exactly borrow it from Xun'er, can I?

That was the last resort.

It was only fifty thousand Gold Coins. The little princess of the Ancient Clan could produce that much with her eyes closed.

Even adding two more zeroes might not be a problem.

Still, it was best not to.

After all, even the Xiao Clan's few people in power did not truly know Xun'er's identity.

Therefore, Xiao Yang should not reveal that he knew about Xun'er's background.

Under normal circumstances, he should not know anything about Xun'er's background. Even if he knew she was extraordinary, he would never assume she could casually lend someone fifty thousand Gold Coins.

So unless he reached the end of his rope, he would not consider asking Xun'er.

Moreover, Xun'er only maintained contact with him mainly because of Xiao Yan.

At most, they could be considered ordinary friends.

After thinking it over, Xiao Yang decided to sell something he had on him.

As for what to sell...

After some thought, he decided to sell the Blazing Mountain Fist.

The Blazing Mountain Fist was a Mysterious Tier Mid-grade Battle Skill. Though it was not as valuable as a cultivation technique, selling it for over a hundred thousand Gold Coins would not be a problem.

Most importantly, Dou Skills could be copied.

In other words, he could simply make a copy and sell that.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yang retrieved a new scroll and began transcribing it.

Before long, after copying the scroll, Xiao Yang headed straight for the Miter Auction House.

The Miter Auction House was Wutan City's largest auction house. It belonged to the Mite'er Family, the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire.

The Mite'er Family was one of the Jia Ma Empire's three great families and had close ties with the imperial family.

The family even had a Dou King Expert.

The Miter Auction House had branches throughout most of the Jia Ma Empire.

It would also be more convenient for Xiao Yang to purchase things there.

He casually bought a black cloak, a mask, and a pair of gloves from a roadside stall before arriving at the entrance to the Miter Auction House.
