Nine-Star Dou King (Part 2)

The surging aura continued to emanate from Lin Ming, causing Lin Ming clothes to flutter and billow even though there was no wind blowing them.

As his cultivation level continued to soar, Lin Ming's cultivation advanced from the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou King to the middle stage of the Eight-Star Dou King, and is now moving towards the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou King.

After a while, this Eight-Star Dou King's cultivation level also reached its peak from the late stage. At this point, the upward trend of his cultivation level began to show signs of slowing down and fatigue.

Sensing the subtle blockage, Lin Ming knew it was time to unleash the pent-up emotion he had been suppressing.

Then, Lin Ming clenched his fists tightly, leaped up, and let out a long, cathartic roar.

The clear whistle, like the cry of a crane, pierced through the clouds and mist in an instant, resounding throughout the space and lingering for a long time.

The whistling sound was extremely long, as if it were a breath held to its limit, and Lin Ming's face turned red as a result, with veins bulging on his face like earthworms, making him look somewhat ferocious.

"Break!"

With his fists clenched, the stone slab beneath his feet cracked instantly.

Amidst the cracked stone slabs, a faint, almost imperceptible sound of breaking came from within Lin Ming's body.

"Click!"

As this seemingly nonexistent sound rang out, it was as if a non-existent membrane had been pierced. Lin Ming's aura, which was about to stop rising, instantly surged again.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ming's cultivation level rose from Eight-Star Dou King to Nine-Star Dou King.

After breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou King, the remaining Dou Qi propelled Lin Ming's cultivation forward a little further before finally being exhausted.

After sensing that his cultivation had stabilized at the Nine-Star Dou King, Lin Ming could no longer hide the joy in his eyes. After all, from now on, he was only one star away from the Dou Emperor level.

Although reaching the first star level is extremely difficult for many people, for Lin Ming, once he reaches the peak of the Nine-Star Dou King, he can start working on breaking through.

He twisted his body, and his bones cracked and popped. A feeling of comfort emanating from deep within his body immediately surged through him, causing Lin Ming to groan involuntarily.

"So this is what it feels like to be Nine-Star Dou King... He's definitely much stronger!"

Clenching his fist, Lin Ming suddenly threw a punch, causing the space in front of him to ripple and a sharp sonic boom to form on his fist. This extremely powerful force was several times stronger than it had been a few days ago.

"Now that the advancement is complete, it's time to leave. And judging by the time, it's about time to go."

As Lin Ming finished speaking, the door opened.

Upon seeing the door open, revealing Lin Ming inside, Zi Yan and Miao Miao immediately exclaimed.

"Lin Ming!"

"Young Master!"

"Zi Yan, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Ming looked at Zi Yan with gentle eyes and thanked her with a smile.

Although Lin Ming had focused all his energy on breaking through, how could Lin Ming not sense the enormous commotion caused by the Heaven and Earth Energy outside?

Lin Ming knew that Zi Yan had set up a barrier to conceal the fluctuating Heaven and Earth Energy, and that she had been keeping watch here for the past few days without letting her guard down for a moment. So after coming out, Lin Ming spoke to Zi Yan about it.

"No... it wasn't hard work." Seeing Lin Ming say this with such a smile, Zi Yan blushed slightly, lowered her head, and stammered out the reply in a low voice.

"Xiao Yi Xian hasn't made a move yet?" Lin Ming then asked Miao Miao.

"Yes, young master!" Miao Miao replied immediately in response to Lin Ming's question.

"Alright then! We'll just have to wait until I get back to see each other again." Lin Ming already knew the general outcome before even meeting Xiao Yi Xian. So, after Miao Miao finished speaking, Lin Ming didn't express too much disappointment.

After finishing his sentence, Lin Ming continued to speak to Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, you probably already know why we've come here—it's for Xiao Yi Xian. Because of some matters, Zi Yan and I have to take care of things, so you'll have to keep a Miao Miao on Xiao Yi Xian here."

"Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Xiao Yi Xian." Miao Miao replied immediately after Lin Ming finished speaking.

"After spending this time together, I know your character well, Miao Miao. So I feel at ease entrusting Xiao Yi Xian to you. I'm not stingy with my own people. Giving you this is part of fulfilling the promise I made to you back then!" As Lin Ming finished speaking, Lin Ming tossed a Jade Bottle to Miao Miao.

"Young master, what is this?" Miao Miao asked in confusion as she took the Jade Bottle from Lin Ming.

"Just open it and you'll see." Lin Ming replied calmly to Miao Miao's question.

Upon receiving Lin Ming's reply, Miao Miao immediately removed the stopper from the Jade Bottle, and a Miao Miao Medicinal Fragrance wafted out.

Upon smelling the Medicinal Fragrance of the pill, Miao Miao immediately felt a surge of fighting Dou Qi, and her entire body instantly felt boundless.

If the Medicinal Fragrance has such an effect, how extraordinary must the pills inside be? Miao Miao immediately poured out the pills.

"Fighting Spirit Pill! Spirit Dou Pill!" Miao Miao's high-pitched voice immediately rang out upon seeing the full appearance of the pill.

Although Miao Miao cultivates Poison Dou Qi, as a Dou Wang), Miao Miao naturally recognizes a famous pill like the Spirit Dou Pill).

It's safe to say that there isn't a single Dou Wang who doesn't recognize the Spirit Dou Pill, a pill that can enhance a Dou Wang's Dou Qi cultivation by One-Star Dou King.

Miao Miao was well aware of the immense value of a pill capable of raising Dou King Expert's cultivation by one star. Although she desperately wanted it, Miao Miao still put the Spirit Dou Pill back into the Jade Bottle and said, "Young Master, this is unacceptable; the Spirit Dou Pill is far too precious."

When Miao Miao hesitated, Lin Ming replied, "Take it! With your higher strength, you can better protect Xiao Yi Xian."

"But..." Miao Miao spoke up again after hearing Lin Ming's words.

"Alright, no buts. You should know my character; once it's given away, there's no reason to take it back. You also know I'm an Alchemist. Although the Spirit Dou Pill is precious on the market, it's not difficult for me to obtain it. So, Miao Miao, you shouldn't be thinking about how to return it to me, but rather how to use it well and make the most of the Spirit Dou Pill I gave you." Seeing that Miao Miao still wanted to say something, Lin Ming interrupted her.

"Young Master, then Miao Miao will not refuse. Also, rest assured, as long as Miao Miao has a breath left, Xiao Yi Xian will absolutely be fine." Miao Miao said immediately after Lin Ming finished speaking.

"Yes! I believe you." Lin Ming nodded and replied. Then, looking at the sky, Lin Ming said again, "Let's rest for a bit, and officially set off tomorrow!"
