Rewards Exploded Again

A path opened through the crowd, and a pale-faced young man in luxurious clothes walked out, his heated gaze fixed on Xiao Xun'er.

"Ah!"

Just as the young man was about to speak again, a jade-like staff appeared in front of him, and he let out a miserable scream as he was sent flying. The young man's lackeys hurriedly ran over to catch him, but none of them managed it.

"Well, well, isn't this Young Master Galeo? Aren't you a Dou Zhe too? How come you can't even take one strike from my Dog Beating Stick? Did you spend all your Dou Qi on women's bellies and go soft?" Xiao Tian walked to Xiao Xun'er's side and said with a smile to Galeo, who was sprawled on the ground.

"Xiao Tian, don't think you can act arrogant just because you've become a Dou Zhe. Be careful, or you'll end up like your younger brother—after becoming a Dou Zhe, your Dou Qi will start disappearing!" Galeo climbed up from the ground, flushed with anger, and pointed at Xiao Tian.

"No need for you to worry about that. You should worry about yourself right now!" Xiao Tian said, spinning the Dog Beating Stick in his hand.

After hearing Xiao Tian's words, Galeo clenched his fists until they cracked, staring at Xiao Tian with a gloomy face. Seeing their master's ugly expression, the group of subordinates behind him very quick-wittedly spread out and surrounded Xiao Tian and Xiao Xun'er, their faces full of ill intent.

Seeing Galeo's subordinates closing in, Xiao Tian said to Xiao Xun'er, "Protect yourself!"

Xiao Tian directly attached Thunder to the Dog Beating Stick, then used Thunder to empower his feet, transforming into a string of afterimages.

A moment later, Xiao Tian stopped, planted the Dog Beating Stick into the ground, then clapped his hands and said, "Not a single one of you can fight."

Galeo and all his subordinates were already lying on the ground, howling nonstop. It was obvious they had been shocked. Even Galeo, a One Star Dou Zhe, was the kind of trash who went down in one strike before Xiao Tian's freakish strength.

Just then, a shout came from the crowd. "Who dares cause trouble in the Xiao Family Market?"

Uncle Pein led a large group of Guards and quickly ran over. Seeing that it was Xiao Tian and a group of people lying on the ground howling, he could not help but come to Xiao Tian's side and ask, "Third Young Master, did something happen?"

"Nothing much. Just someone trying to cause trouble in the Xiao Family Market and harass a decent young lady, so I beat him up. Uncle Pein, arrange for someone to 'send' them back to the Gale Family's territory so they don't affect everyone's business here," Xiao Tian answered Pein with a smile.

Pein acknowledged him, then arranged for several subordinates to lift the men up and throw them out of the Imitation Market. When they lifted Galeo, Xiao Tian remembered that he had a Bracelet with a first-rank Magical Core on him, so he searched it out from Galeo's body, took it in his hand, and put it away into the System Space.

Seeing that Pein had dealt with everything, Xiao Tian tossed the Dog Beating Stick and a bag of Gold Coins to him, saying, "If Galeo comes to cause trouble again in the future, use this Dog Beating Stick to hit that dog hard. As for these one hundred Gold Coins, they're for me to treat everyone to drinks and a meal."

After watching Pein catch the money pouch and jade staff, Xiao Tian took Xiao Xun'er's hand and prepared to leave. But when his gaze landed on a rather handsome young man in the distance, whose eyes occasionally flashed with a trace of obscenity, and whose hand was shoved into the clothes of the Maid beside him, completely disregarding the people around him, Xiao Tian looked more closely at him. Wasn't this Liu Xi, the Alchemist who had designs on Xun'er in the Original Work? Why had he appeared now?

Seeing Xiao Tian staring at one spot, Xiao Xun'er asked, "What is it, Xiao Tian Gege?"

"Nothing. I was just looking around." Xiao Tian thought for a moment. It was probably because of the Butterfly Effect, but it did not matter. He would just find a time to scatter him to the wind.

After this interruption, and since they had already been shopping for a long time, neither of them felt like continuing, so they went straight back to the Xiao Family. When they returned to the front of Xun'er's courtyard, a women's Bracelet appeared in Xiao Tian's hand. It was precisely the one rewarded by the system. Xiao Xun'er could not help freezing when she saw the Bracelet Xiao Tian took out. Xiao Tian waved the Bracelet at the suddenly dazed young girl and said, "Do you still want it? If not, I'll take it back."

When Xiao Xun'er heard that, she immediately reached out and grabbed the Bracelet. After taking it, her face could not help turning slightly red as she realized she seemed to have been too eager just now. After deeply adjusting her breathing, Xiao Xun'er gracefully put it on her fair, slender wrist and said sweetly, "Thank you, Xiao Tian Gege."

Xiao Tian pinched the girl's slightly red cheek and said, "This Bracelet has the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit. Wearing it normally will benefit your cultivation. All right, you should go back first. Cultivate properly and strive to break through to Dou Zhe soon."

The young girl was so startled by the young man's intimate gesture that she fled like a frightened rabbit, saying haltingly, "Then I'll... go back first."

Watching the girl's departing figure, Xiao Tian passed by Xiao Yan's small courtyard and found that he had already returned. At this time, he was probably cultivating, then waiting until no one was around at night to begin refining the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid. Xiao Tian did not think too much about it and headed toward the back mountain, preparing to continue cultivating there and familiarize himself with Dou Techniques, as well as check in at the back mountain. His intuition told him that since the back mountain was the origin point of Xiao Yan's rise, checking in there would give him a very good reward.

Arriving at the mountain peak of the back mountain, he sensed his surroundings. After confirming there was no one there, he said, "System Check-in."

[Ding, Location: Xiao Family Back Mountain Peak. Check-in successful. Reward obtained: Fire and Wood Attributes, Qilin Burning Sky Flame, Pill Book, Heavenly Lightning Halberd, Thunder Origin*1]

Xiao Tian glanced at the marked introductions and understood. The Fire and Wood Attributes were weak attributes and could not be used as main cultivation attributes. The Qilin Burning Sky Flame was said to be a flame formed after a Fire Qilin's horn was severed and fell away. The flame was bright red, and within it, a Fire Qilin could be faintly seen roaring. The Pill Book was a book that recorded pill formulas, containing all kinds of pill formulas, with every aspect of each formula marked in great detail.

On the Dou Qi Continent, if one wanted to become a noble Alchemist, two strict conditions had to be met: Fire Attribute with a trace of Wood Qi, and Soul Perception. Neither could be lacking. Xiao Tian had lived two lives, so his soul condition was up to standard. The only thing he lacked was the attributes, and now the system had made up for it.

Alchemist was the noblest profession on the entire continent. Not only did it have lofty status, it was also a profession that would never lack money. Moreover, after joining the Alchemist Guild, one could obtain Medicinal Herbs and resources more easily than ordinary cultivators, which was even more beneficial for cultivation.

Heavenly Lightning Halberd could transform one's own Thunder Attribute power and Spirit Thunder into a Fang Tian Hua Ji to fight with. Its power was tremendous and its edge incomparable. Seeing this, Xiao Tian no longer needed to worry about future weapons. Although many people on the Dou Qi Continent fought barehanded with Dou Techniques, Xiao Tian preferred using weapons.

Thunder Origin could speed up the condensation of Spirit Thunder.

Seeing these rewards, Xiao Tian almost could not control the smile on his face. This had directly allowed him to become an Alchemist. The Pill Book's help to him was perhaps the greatest, because it contained detailed records of all kinds of Medicinal Herbs, complete with images of their appearances, as well as detailed introductions to pill formulas and alchemy, along with alchemy scenes like an animation and related points of attention.

After finishing the check-in, Xiao Tian extracted the Heavenly Flame. Looking at the bright red flame in the air and feeling that explosive Aura, Xiao Tian swallowed and asked the system, "System, how should I refine it?"
