Chapter 30

Xiao Long returned to his home, immediately swallowed a Qi Gathering Powder, and began to break through to the realm of a Dou Zhe.

Only upon stepping into the realm of a Dou Zhe could one truly be considered to have begun cultivation!

As soon as the Qi Gathering Powder entered his mouth, a faint, cool sensation spread across his tongue. A moment later, a wave of warm, pure energy surged straight from his mouth into his body, causing Xiao Long's frame to shudder violently.

With a calm face, Xiao Long rapidly formed the hand seals for absorbing Dou Qi. His breathing gradually steadied, and the faint Dou Qi within his body moved in response to his will, swiftly entangling with that powerful, pure medicinal force before beginning a frenzied refinement.

Inside the room, the tranquil Dou Qi suddenly turned fiercely turbulent. Wisps of white Dou Qi seeped out from the air, then drilled endlessly into Xiao Long's body.

Biting hard on his lower lip, the collision of the two energies inside him caused waves of spasmodic pain to continuously ripple through Xiao Long's meridians. Fortunately, his pathways were much tougher than those of ordinary people, so although he felt pain, it had not yet caused any major damage. Within his body, the Dou Qi enveloped clusters of green, pure energy. As the frenzied refinement continued, green energy was steadily assimilated into milky-white Dou Qi, and backed by these reinforcements, the scale of the Dou Qi inside Xiao Long was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the pure medicinal force was constantly being refined, it seemed inexhaustible. Every time the Dou Qi refined one batch of medicine, an even larger mass of energy would rush over.

Under the refinement within his body and the continuous influx of external Dou Qi, the Dou Qi inside Xiao Long gradually filled most of his meridians.

The refinement continued. When the subsequent momentum of the pure medicinal force began to wane, Xiao Long, who had been intoxicated by the rapid growth of his power, suddenly realized that the Dou Qi in his body had expanded to a critical point where it could no longer increase.

The expansion of the Dou Qi directly caused Xiao Long's meridians to twitch gently, and a wave of intense pain made the corners of his mouth split open.

Yet Xiao Long knew that this moment was the most crucial time of all—the condensation of the Qi Vortex!

Only by condensing a Qi Vortex could one successfully break through to become a Dou Zhe!

Under Xiao Long's conscious control, the surging Dou Qi within his body suddenly contracted rapidly toward his lower abdomen, as if acted upon by a violent suction force. The pale-white Dou Qi in his various meridians all shrank back in unison, and when all the Dou Qi had retreated to the lower abdomen, the pale-white Dou Qi began to transform into a milky-white hue.

Then, Xiao Long used his own Soul Power to compress this Dou Qi.

Slowly, that cluster of Dou Qi residing in his lower abdomen began to shrink.

Finally, at the very end, no matter how hard Xiao Long tried, this mass of Dou Qi refused to change in the slightest.

Xiao Long knew that it had reached its extreme limit at this point.

Thus, this was the prime opportunity for him to break through to a Dou Zhe!

A soft, muffled groan rang out, signaling that from then on, Xiao Long was a true Dou Zhe.

At this moment, Xiao Long felt that the Dou Qi inside his body was completely different from when he was at Dou Disciple Nine Stages.

It was simply like heaven and earth.

Right now, Xiao Long could already be considered the top expert among the younger generation of the Xiao Family!

If Xiao Xun'er used only the strength of Dou Disciple Eight Stages, she would not be a match for Xiao Long either.

Having broken through his realm, Xiao Long was in a great mood and went to take a hot bath to relax.

Not long after, someone actively sought him out.

This time, it was not a beauty, but a man.

The visitor was Xiao Yan!

Yo, I wonder what wind blew cousin Xiao Yan over. Please come in, please come in!

Right now, Xiao Long had finally managed to change Xiao Xun'er's opinion of him, so when facing Xiao Yan, he dared not act too presumptuously.

Otherwise, a single sentence from Xiao Yan could cause him to be beaten right back to square one in front of Xiao Xun'er.

"No need. I'll just say a few words and leave. I won't go in."

Well, talk about a hot face pressed against a cold butt!

They said that nobody hits a smiling person, but this Xiao Yan clearly made a specialty of hitting smiling people.

Since Xiao Yan refused to give him face, the faint trace of enthusiasm Xiao Long had just displayed was instantly snuffed out.

"Oh? What is it? Speak!"

Xiao Long replied indifferently.

"It's this: I want to ask you, Xiao Long, where did that set of clothes you gave to Xun'er come from?"

Xiao Yan now suspected that Xiao Long was a transmigrator, so he had come to sound him out.

However, he could not expose the fact that he was also a transmigrator, so he did not reveal too much of himself and instead asked where those clothes had come from.

"Oh? What's wrong? Could it be that cousin Xiao Yan also wants to go buy a set and give it to Xun'er?"

Xiao Long roughly guessed Xiao Yan's thoughts at the moment, but he could not admit to being a transmigrator either, otherwise it would bring him trouble.

Therefore, he also started acting.

Sigh, isn't it just acting? Everyone has the potential to be an actor; it all comes down to acting skills!

Xiao Long reckoned his own acting skills were pretty decent, so he wasn't worried about being seen through by Xiao Yan.

"Don't change the subject. You just need to tell me how you got that set of clothes!"

Xiao Yan held no warm feelings for Xiao Long whatsoever and had no inclination to chatter with him, stating coldly.

What a joke. Xiao Yan was no Saint either; how could he possibly forget how Xiao Long had humiliated him?

As for why he later forgot his grievances with Xiao Ning and the others? It was merely because he and they were no longer people of the same world.

By the time he reached his later realm, Xiao Yan had long since viewed himself as a person above others, while Xiao Ning and the rest were merely struggling at the bottom.

You could say that a person at that stage would no longer bother to bicker over such minor grievances.
