Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Technique

"Boss, what are your plans now?"

Seeing Yao Wanqian lost in thought, the black-clothed leader quickly spoke up and pulled him back to reality.

"Where have that brat and the little girl gone?"

Yao Wanqian wanted to know where Ye Tian had gone. He had to find a way to eliminate this potential threat. No matter how much of a prodigy that little fellow was, he was still weak for now.

"They flew into the mountains. This subordinate does not know where they are headed," the black-clothed leader said, shaking his head.

"How about this? Secretly spread the word that Ye Tian possesses an Earth-tier cultivation technique. Once the news spreads, that brat will become the target of countless assassins."

"Ye Tian is indeed a genius, but only a genius who grows up can truly be called a genius."

After pondering for a moment, Yao Wanqian decided to use the mercenaries against Ye Tian. Once word spread that the brat possessed a high-grade cultivation technique, the countless mercenaries of Qingshan Town would surely swarm after him. Since he had completely offended Ye Tian, he might as well crush the brat in the cradle.

"This subordinate will make the arrangements immediately."

The black-clothed leader promptly left the Myriad Medicine Shop and had people spread the news that Ye Tian had encountered a great opportunity.

"What? Ye Tian obtained an Earth-tier cultivation technique in the Monster Mountain Range?"

"Go! Let's take it from him..."

Very soon, the mercenaries of Qingshan Town were stunned by the great opportunity on Ye Tian's person. They began searching for him frantically, and even those mercenaries who knew Ye Tian were eager to make a move.

Qingshan Town was merely a small place. The cultivation methods people practiced were generally Yellow-tier, and even Black-tier cultivation methods were rare, let alone Earth-tier cultivation techniques. No one was willing to miss such a great opportunity.

Just as the mercenaries of Qingshan Town searched frantically for Ye Tian, he had already brought Xiao Yi Xian deep into the mountains dozens of miles away.

Ye Tian was still completely unaware that the Myriad Medicine Shop owner had schemed against him. If he knew, he would surely have cursed, Damn, he's trying to kill me!

"Xiao Tian, let's rest for a while! I'm exhausted."

Seeing that they were already far from Qingshan Town, Xiao Yi Xian finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright!"

"Take a Qi Recovery Pill first and recover your strength."

Ye Tian took out a Top-grade Qi Recovery Pill from his Ring of Holding and placed it in Xiao Yi Xian's mouth. She was only a Dou Zhe now, and using a Flying Dou Technique was truly too much for her.

"Xiao Tian, thank you for everything you've done for me."

After swallowing the Qi Recovery Pill, Xiao Yi Xian's strength began to recover. Then she felt utterly useless, relying on Ye Tian for everything.

"You silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?"

Ye Tian rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's head, telling her not to take these things to heart.

"I'll cultivate my divine techniques first and improve my strength."

Xiao Yi Xian revealed a sweet smile, then took the Myriad Poisons Primordial True Art, Carefree Travel Body Method, and Hundred Meridians Body Forging Art out of her Space Ring. She planned to start cultivating them. She had to become stronger, or she would become Ye Tian's burden.

"I currently have two Xuan Tier High-Grade Dou Techniques and one Di Tier Dou Technique. I wonder if you can cultivate them?"

Ye Tian also wanted Xiao Yi Xian to learn one or two Dou Techniques as quickly as possible. That way, she would have some ability to protect herself.

"Ah! Xiao Tian, let me see them!"

Hearing that Ye Tian had three high-grade Dou Techniques, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes immediately lit up. If she could learn even one of them, she would not hold him back if they ran into trouble in the future.

"The first Dou Technique is called Wind Sweeping Clouds. It's Xuan-tier High Grade."

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Ye Tian activated his Dou Qi, and the powerful energy swept toward several trees ahead like a tornado.

"Crack..."

In an instant, several tree trunks as thick as bowls were snapped apart.

"This move is incredible!"

Seeing Ye Tian use such a powerful Dou Technique, Xiao Yi Xian jumped up excitedly.

"The second Xuan-tier High Grade Dou Technique is called Blade of Flames."

Using the Chaos Heavenly Flame within his body as a catalyst, Ye Tian unleashed another Dou Technique.

"Swish..."

"Bang..."

The Dou Qi in Ye Tian's hand transformed into a saber more than ten meters long and slashed toward a Giant Stone ahead, splitting it cleanly in two.

"This Blade of Flames seems even more powerful than Wind Sweeping Clouds. Xiao Tian, you're amazing."

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian looked like an infatuated fan, little stars practically shining from her eyes.

"Amazing, my ass."

"The Di Tier Dou Technique is called Thousand Leaves Dance. My strength is too low right now, and using it would drain all my Dou Qi."

"So I won't demonstrate it for you yet."

Ye Tian was only a lowly Dou Master at present. He simply could not bring out the full power of those two Xuan Tier High-Grade Dou Techniques.

"Alright! Then there's no need to use it."

Through the past few days of cultivation, Xiao Yi Xian had also come to understand that the higher a Dou Technique's grade, the more strength it demanded from its user.

"The little girl's Dou Qi is poison-attributed. You can directly teach her to comprehend Dou Techniques of her own."

At that moment, Jin Yan's voice rang out in Ye Tian's mind.

"Senior, can that work?"

Hearing Jin Yan's words, Ye Tian was stunned. Xiao Yi Xian was only a One-star Dou Practitioner. It was far too difficult for her to figure out a Dou Technique by herself.

"Of course it can. Follow my instructions and alter some of the details in Wind Sweeping Clouds and Blade of Flames."

"Once the little girl cultivates them, she can simply activate them with poison-attributed Dou Qi."

Jin Yan directly explained her idea to Ye Tian. Since the little girl would be Ye Tian's capable assistant in the future, she had to help her out.

"That's brilliant, Senior. Thank you."

At Jin Yan's reminder, Ye Tian immediately came to a realization.

"Xiao Tian, why are you spacing out?"

Xiao Yi Xian had been about to ask which Dou Technique suited her best when she saw Ye Tian suddenly freeze, and she grew curious.

"Little Xian'er, I'll teach you to cultivate these two Dou Techniques."

Ye Tian came back to his senses and immediately began teaching Xiao Yi Xian the Dou Techniques according to Senior Jin's method.

"Oh! Alright."

Xiao Yi Xian trusted Ye Tian completely. Whatever he arranged, she would do.

"Swish..."

"Bang..."

Three days later, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yi Xian's hand formed into a purple saber that slashed forward.

"Xiao Tian, I succeeded."

After learning this Dou Technique, Xiao Yi Xian jumped up in excitement.

"Mm! Not bad. The Dou Technique you've unleashed carries deadly poison, so let's call it Purple Nether Blade!"

"This can be considered a Dou Technique you created yourself."

Seeing that the Dou Technique Xiao Yi Xian had unleashed had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to his Blade of Flames, Ye Tian directly gave her Dou Technique a new name.

"Purple Nether Blade? What a good name."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled sweetly. She had originally wanted to call it Poisonous Blade, but Purple Nether Blade sounded much better.

"Keep going. You still need to cultivate another Dou Technique. Start by circulating your Dou Qi like this..."

Following Elder Pagoda's method again, Ye Tian continued teaching Xiao Yi Xian a Dou Technique based on Wind Sweeping Clouds.

"Alright!"

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, then focused intently as she began cultivating the next Dou Technique according to Ye Tian's instructions.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Two days later, Xiao Yi Xian waved both hands. In an instant, purple mist shot out and blanketed a patch of grass ahead, causing it to wither immediately.

"Xiao Tian, this move is different from the Wind Sweeping Clouds you use. What should it be called?"

Seeing that she had successfully cultivated another Dou Technique, Xiao Yi Xian was overjoyed.

"Let's call it Nether Mist!"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian directly gave Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Technique an elegant name.

"Nether Mist? That name sounds so nice."

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Yi Xian also found it very fitting.

"Xiao Tian, I need to cultivate the Carefree Travel Footwork and Hundred Meridians Body Forging Art to the beginner level."

Now that she possessed two Xuan Tier High-Grade Dou Techniques, Xiao Yi Xian planned to continue improving her strength.

"No problem. We'll wander around the mountains for a while, improve our strength, and then head to Wutan City."

Ye Tian nodded. Then he took out the Universe Cauldron and began refining pills. The Pill Dao Sacred Canon contained a Third-grade Pill called the Spirit Gathering Pill, which was exactly what he and Xiao Yi Xian needed.

The Spirit Gathering Pill required Wind-attribute Demonic Cores, Spirit Gathering Grass, and other ingredients. Ye Tian had hunted some Magic Beasts in the Monster Mountain Range some time ago and happened to obtain several Wind-attribute Demonic Cores, which were perfect for practicing pill refining.

Half a month later, Xiao Yi Xian successfully cultivated the Myriad Poisons Primordial True Art, Carefree Dragon Step, and Hundred Meridians Body Forging Art to the beginner level. Her cultivation had also reached the One-Star Dou Zhe Peak.

"Swish, swish..."

"Xiao Tian, what do you think of my movement technique?"

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian ran rapidly through the wilderness with excitement. Afterimages trailed behind her, dazzling the eye and making it difficult to tell where her Main Body was.

"Pretty good."

"Come over and take this Spirit Gathering Pill. It's time for you to break through to Two-Star Dou Zhe."

Ye Tian waved at Xiao Yi Xian in the distance, telling her to stop at once. The little girl was now like a girl made of wind, utterly adorable.

"Swish..."

"Spirit Gathering Pill? Did you refine this over the past few days?"

Xiao Yi Xian flashed directly before Ye Tian. During this time, she had been focused solely on cultivating the Carefree Dragon Step and Hundred Meridians Body Forging Art, and she had not properly watched Ye Tian's pill refining process. She felt a little regretful about that.

"That's right!"

Ye Tian nodded and flicked a golden pill toward Xiao Yi Xian.

"Xiao Tian, what pill is this?"

Xiao Yi Xian caught the glittering golden pill, her curiosity piqued.

"It's the Third-grade Pill, the Spirit Gathering Pill. After taking it, it accelerates the absorption of Heaven and Earth Energy and forms an Energy Vortex around the user for two minutes. It works best for Dou Zhe realm cultivators. Those below the Dou Zhe realm can only take it if their Dou Qi has reached at least the Seventh Stage. After all, people with cultivation that is too low may not be able to withstand such powerful energy."

Ye Tian explained the marvelous effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill to Xiao Yi Xian.

"It's that miraculous?"

Xiao Yi Xian immediately opened her little mouth and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

"Bzz..."

"The energy is so powerful!"

The pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth, transforming into powerful energy that surged through Xiao Yi Xian's limbs and bones. Immediately afterward, her Dou Qi formed a vortex around her body, drawing in Heaven and Earth Energy from all directions and pouring it into her body.

"Bzz..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian immediately sat cross-legged and circulated the Myriad Poisons Primordial True Art, charging toward the next minor realm.

Ye Tian also swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, intending to break through to Two-Star Dou Master in one go.

"Swish..."

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Tian was the first to break through to Two-Star Dou Master. Soon after, Xiao Yi Xian directly broke through to Three-Star Dou Zhe. It was truly a double celebration.

"Xiao Tian, cultivating with you feels so easy."

Thinking back to how she had cultivated for less than a month yet advanced from Nine-stage Dou Qi to Three-Star Dou Zhe, Xiao Yi Xian felt as though she were dreaming.

"Don't celebrate too early. We're still very weak. When facing true experts, we're nothing but weaklings."

Ye Tian reminded Xiao Yi Xian not to become arrogant. This was a world where the strong ruled, and only prodigies who could grow up were worthy of being called prodigies.

"I understand."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Her path to becoming strong had only just begun, and the road ahead was still long. But as long as she could accompany the young man before her along the way, that was enough.

"Let's go. It's time for us to head to Wutan City."

"Alright!"

Ye Tian then composed himself and hurried toward Wutan City with Xiao Yi Xian.
