Ya Fei's Benefits After Breaking Through to Dou Zhe!

"???"

The System Prompt that suddenly rang in his ears gave Chen Yang a fright, but he quickly recovered.

"Low-level Earth Tier Dou Technique?"

"Looks like the cultivation process after taking the Body Tempering Pill allowed Xiao Yan to meet the conditions for learning Eight Extremes Collapse ahead of time."

In the original story, although Medicine Elder had also brought out Eight Extremes Collapse around half a month after the engagement break, Xiao Yan would probably have needed to take beatings for over a month before truly mastering it. According to the original story, the first time Xiao Yan used Eight Extremes Collapse, he had already reached Seven-stage Dou Qi, and that was three months after he began learning it.

Now, Xiao Yan had probably grasped the basics of Eight Extremes Collapse very quickly, which was why he triggered the system reward.

But this Low-level Earth Tier Dou Technique was called Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms? Hakitong, are you serious?

Because it had been instilled by the system, Chen Yang was practically the creator of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, able to wield it as easily as his own limbs. When all eighteen palms were unleashed together, they could rival an Earth Tier Intermediate Dou Technique!

"Well... before I even got to use my Setting Sun Swordplay, it's already been cast aside!" Chen Yang chuckled, rose to his feet, and strode straight out of the Auction House!

At that moment, on the Xiao Family Back Mountain, just as Chen Yang had expected, after Xiao Yan finished reading Eight Extremes Collapse and gave it a rough attempt, he struck out with Three Hidden Forces.

"Tsk, tsk..."

"I didn't expect you brat to have such talent when it comes to Dou Techniques?"

Medicine Elder stroked his nonexistent beard and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"I was someone who could break through to Dou Zhe at eleven years old. My talent is unmatched on the Dou Qi Continent!" Naturally, Xiao Yan was not actually that arrogant; he was merely trying to argue with Medicine Elder.

"Hmph... I've seen plenty of geniuses. Forget those far away—let's talk about someone close by. Your Brother Yang is only eighteen, yet he's already a Nine-star Great Dou Shi. He might advance to Dou Ling within a month or two!"

"And you? You'll be doing well if you can become a Da Dou Shi by eighteen!"

"Not to mention, he's at least a Fourth-grade Alchemist!"

For some reason, Medicine Elder had recently taken a liking to bickering with Xiao Yan.

"That's my Brother Yang. How could I compare myself to him?"

Xiao Yan curled his lips, having no intention of placing himself on the same level as Chen Yang.

He knew exactly what he was capable of. He only needed to move forward steadily, one step at a time.

Besides, before meeting Chen Yang, he had never dared imagine that he could break through to Nine-stage Dou Qi within half a year!

That day, Chen Yang personally refined several batches of Body Tempering Pills, along with some other medicinal pills that could assist cultivation.

Bored out of his mind, Chen Yang planned to take a walk and deliver those medicinal pills to Xiao Yong while he was at it.

However, the moment he stepped outside, he saw Ya Fei hurrying over in a flurry. She was not even watching where she was going, and Chen Yang simply stood in her path, waiting to see what this woman would do.

The result...

"Bang!"

Ya Fei crashed hard into Chen Yang's embrace, making the foolish woman see stars.

"Sister Ya Fei, what has you in such a rush in broad daylight?"

Chen Yang helplessly shook his head. Catching the sweet fragrance in Ya Fei's hair, he placed a hand on her shoulder to steady her and asked with a smile.

"Ah..."

Ya Fei awkwardly lowered her head to look at her toes, only to discover that she could not see them at all. Crashing into Chen Yang's arms in such a panic was indeed terribly improper.

"Um..."

"The medicinal materials you asked me to find arrived from the Imperial Capital today!"

"The moment I got them, I hurried over to find you!"

Ya Fei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shyness in her heart as she spoke to Chen Yang.

"Oh?"

"That's good news!"

"Put the medicinal materials away. Once I return from the Xiao Family, I'll perform Open Furnace Alchemy for you!"

Chen Yang patted Ya Fei's shoulder, turned, and left with an easy stride, not lingering in the courtyard any longer.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Ya Fei would blush herself to pieces.

"Then... I'll wait for you to come back..."

Watching Chen Yang's departing figure, Ya Fei walked to the Stone Stool in the courtyard and sat down in embarrassed annoyance.

"Ya Fei, Ya Fei, why couldn't you watch where you were going?"

Thinking about how she had just thrown herself into Chen Yang's arms, the blush that had yet to fade from Ya Fei's face deepened further. Yet when she thought of the gap between herself and Chen Yang, she could not help but sigh.

"Ah..."

A long sigh quietly echoed through the Small Courtyard. Meanwhile, the two Maidservants responsible for serving Chen Yang hid away and did not dare look at Ya Fei in the courtyard, pretending to be both mute and deaf!

At the Xiao Family, Chen Yang found Xiao Yong without any trouble.

Nearly a month had passed, and Xiao Yong was already an Eight-star Dou Zhe, currently charging toward Nine-star Dou Zhe.

If not for the fact that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was only suitable for people in the Dou Qi stage who were under thirty in bone age, Chen Yang would have wanted to get one for Xiao Yong as well.

However, Chen Yang figured that as his Alchemist rank improved, he would sooner or later obtain medicinal pills capable of improving an adult's talent.

"Little Brother, why did you come personally today?"

Xiao Yong had originally called Chen Yang "Master" alongside Xiao Zhan, but Chen Yang had forcibly corrected him.

Before him, a fourteen-year-old little girl with two braids shyly watched him.

After half a month, the little girl was also close to breaking through to Seven-stage Dou Qi. Her talent was not as good as Xiao Yan's, but with all these resources piled onto her, reaching Nine-stage Dou Qi within half a year would not be a problem.

"I had nothing to do, so I came to sit with Big Brother Xiao Yong!"

The two casually chatted. Xiao Yong also shared some interesting stories from the clan, and Chen Yang listened with great interest.

Xiao Ling curiously studied Chen Yang. Having lost her mother at a young age, she was more mature than others her age.

She was also one of the few people in the Xiao Family, aside from Xun Er, who had not joined Xiao Ning and the others in mocking Xiao Yan.

Of course, because she was from a collateral branch and had been much younger when Xiao Yan first became famous, she had never had the chance to grow close to him. Naturally, there was no question of estrangement.

After sitting for a while, Chen Yang rose to take his leave and returned to Mittel.

When he returned to the Small Courtyard, Ya Fei was still sitting on the Stone Stool, lost in thought.

"Hey!"

"Come back to yourself, Sister Ya Fei!"

Chen Yang walked up to her and waved a hand in front of her face. Only then did she react.

"Ah... y-you're back?"

"Have you eaten?"

"Are you hungry?"

Ya Fei asked in a fluster.

"Alright, give me the medicinal materials. Come collect the pills at dinner tonight!"

Chen Yang looked up at the sky and spoke helplessly to Ya Fei!

"Oh!"

Only then did Ya Fei realize that it was not mealtime yet.

Thus, she left the medicinal materials behind and fled as though she were escaping.

Watching Ya Fei leave, Chen Yang smiled again. Then he instructed the two Maidservants to watch the door before turning and entering the room, taking out the Medicine Cauldron and beginning Open Furnace Alchemy!

Looking at the Third-Grade Medicine Cauldron before him, Chen Yang scratched his ear. Guni had not upgraded his equipment, so he was still using this trashy Third-Grade Medicine Cauldron.

Still, third grade was third grade. There had been no problem when refining Qi Gathering Powder before. What it tested was merely an Alchemist's technique, and technique was what he lacked the least!

"Boom!"

As a stream of Real Flame entered the Medicine Cauldron, Chen Yang tossed in the medicinal materials for the Marrow Cleansing Pill one after another.

Two hours later, Chen Yang lightly slapped the cauldron, and a round, lustrous medicinal pill flew out, landing steadily in his hand.

"Done!"

After putting away the Medicine Cauldron, Chen Yang stepped outside and happened to see Ya Fei arriving at his door.

During the meal, Ya Fei was curious about the effects of the medicinal pill Chen Yang had refined for her, but she hesitated and said nothing.

After Meal, Chen Yang handed the medicinal pill to Ya Fei and instructed her, "This pill can improve your cultivation talent. Um... if used together with Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid, the effects will be best!"

"You're currently at Nine-stage Dou Qi. After Taking it, you should be able to use Qi Gathering Powder to break through to Dou Zhe within three days!" Chen Yang placed the medicinal pill in Ya Fei's hand and said with a smile.

"Ah!!!"

Ya Fei froze upon hearing that. Th-this medicinal pill could actually improve her talent???

"Go on. I'll have Guni handle the Auction House matters for the next few days. Focus on taking the medicine and making your breakthrough!"

Chen Yang said.

"Chen Yang, Younger Brother... Sister, I..."

Ya Fei was so Moved that she was momentarily speechless. Her Phoenix Eyes shimmered with tears, as though she were about to cry.

"Whatever you want to say, wait until after you break through to Dou Zhe, alright?"

Chen Yang reached out and patted Ya Fei's arm, speaking softly.

"Mm!"

Ya Fei nodded heavily, silently making a decision in her heart!

Three days later, near dusk, Chen Yang was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard when Ya Fei suddenly pushed open the gate and entered.

Chen Yang stored his sword in his Storage Ring and looked Ya Fei over from head to toe. Seeing her rosy complexion and spirited appearance, he knew that she had already broken through to the Dou Zhe level.

"Congratulations, Sister Ya Fei!" Chen Yang cupped his fists.

"Chen Yang, Younger Brother, thank you. Really, really thank you..." Ya Fei looked at Chen Yang with deep gratitude in her eyes, along with a trace of affection she could not conceal no matter how hard she tried.

"If you want to thank me, then treat me to a meal. By the way, do you still have any of that wine from last time?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"I do. There's plenty of wine..." Ya Fei gave him a radiant smile, then instructed the Maidservant to prepare food while she took out wine from her Storage Ring.

Soon, night fell, and Ya Fei's gaze gradually became hazy.

She propped her chin up with her left hand and gazed lovingly at Chen Yang. Her cloying voice slipped from her red lips:

"Chen Yang, Younger Brother, Sister knows that with my status and aptitude, I'm simply not worthy of you!"

"But Sister truly doesn't know how to thank you."

At that, Ya Fei lightly bit her red lip with her pearly teeth, then slowly stood and moved close to Chen Yang before sitting in his lap.

"Sister has only this humble self to offer. I only hope Younger Brother will cherish Sister..."

Faced with Ya Fei's initiative in throwing herself into his arms, Chen Yang naturally would not refuse. He could also tell that Ya Fei's feelings had reached their peak, and she was using the alcohol to express her affection for him.

In response, Chen Yang said nothing. He swept Ya Fei up in his arms and strode into the room. Then, with a surge of vast Dou Qi, the courtyard gate and room door slammed tightly shut...
