Even a second-tier Thick-Winged Bird, a flying magical beast, needed a full three days to reach the distant Imperial Capital.
During the journey, Xiao Han summoned Old Man Yao, then gave him and Xiao Yan each a copy of the Magic Formula for cultivating Spiritual Sense that he had obtained from A Chinese Ghost Story.
On the Douqi Continent, where soul-cultivation formulas were scarce, even this one formula for strengthening Soul Power was enough to drive high-ranking alchemists into a frenzy.
Xiao Han also stopped hiding his cultivation from the two of them. Under Old Man Yao and Xiao Yan's ghost-struck stares, Xiao Han dropped his Concealment Technique, and his cultivation surged from Nine Star Dou Practitioner to Nine Star Dou Master, crossing an entire Major Level!
Old Man Yao and Xiao Yan were both curious about how Xiao Han's cultivation had skyrocketed and how he had suddenly acquired so many powerful Dou Techniques.
But seeing Xiao Han stammer and wear an expression like he was constipated, they decided not to ask. After all, everyone had their own opportunities and secrets.
Without hesitation, they let the subject drop, and Old Man Yao began studying the method of cultivating Spiritual Sense from A Chinese Ghost Story with Xiao Yan.
Old Man Yao truly lived up to his reputation as the former Number One Alchemist of the Continent. When it came to Soul Power, he was far beyond a novice like Xiao Han. He learned the method Xiao Han had given him with ease, then began steadily strengthening his Spiritual Sense.
Meanwhile, Xiao Han was tinkering with something in his room.
Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei.
Xiao Han exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, then abruptly opened his eyes. His hands formed seals in quick succession, and he slapped the floor hard.
