Ya Fei

Day 2,150: You successfully refined a Sixth-grade Break-Obstacle Pill. Hai Bodong was overjoyed and became even more respectful toward you.

Day 2,160: You took Qing Lin and Hai Bodong to the Black-Corner Region.

Day 2,520: With peak Dou Wang cultivation and the reputation of a Sixth-grade Alchemist, you gained a firm foothold in the Black-Corner Region. Numerous factions wanted to invite you to join them, but you rejected them all.

Day 2,722: A secret realm opened somewhere in the Black-Corner Region. You entered it with Hai Bodong and Qing Lin, obtaining the Snake Soul Fruit, Water Spirit Lotus, Seven-Leaf Danshen, Dou Spirit Flower, Break-Emperor Grass, Emperor-Extreme Fruit... and many other precious medicinal ingredients.

Day 2,723: In a building within the secret realm, you fought a Dou Emperor expert over the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques inside. Shocked by your strength and wary of Hai Bodong at your side, that Dou Emperor escaped. Within the building, you obtained the high Earth-tier cultivation method Thunder Suppression Art, the low Earth-tier Dou Technique Thunder Burst, the mid Earth-tier Dou Technique Thunder Suppression Palm, and the mid Earth-tier movement Dou Technique Lightning Flash Thunder Sound.

Day 2,725: Sensing that the secret realm's space was unstable, you decisively left with Hai Bodong and Qing Lin. Outside the secret realm, you encountered the Dou Emperor you had driven away. Two more Dou Emperors stood beside him. They wanted you to hand over the treasures you had acquired within the secret realm, but you could not agree, so you fought one of them.

Day 2,728: You and Hai Bodong were outnumbered and forced to fight while fleeing, all the way back to the Black-Corner Region. You paid an Emperor-Extreme Pill to enlist a Dou Emperor. In the three-against-three battle, they could gain no advantage and retreated.

Day 3,132: You prepared to break through and become a Dou Emperor when Han Feng suddenly attacked with five Dou Emperors and one Dou Zong. It turned out that your Heavenly Flames had been exposed and discovered by him. You and Hai Bodong could not escape and ultimately died in battle.

Ding. This simulation has ended.

Selectable items from this simulation: Break-Obstacle Pill, Dou Spirit Flower, Thunder Suppression Art.

Please choose.

Xiao Jie took a deep breath. He had not expected that in this simulation, he would be on the verge of breaking through to Dou Emperor within ten years. It seemed he still needed to venture out.

In the end, he had died under Han Feng and the others' siege. It seemed his Heavenly Flames had been exposed at some point, which was why they had struck at the critical moment of his breakthrough to Dou Emperor. He had not expected Han Feng to be so cautious, even inviting a Dou Zong just to deal with him and Hai Bodong.

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Jie looked at the three options before him. Having already made up his mind, he said,

"I choose the Break-Obstacle Pill."

He could obtain the Dou Spirit Flower and Thunder Suppression Art from the secret realm, but the ingredients for the Break-Obstacle Pill required a deal with Medusa, a peak Dou Emperor. As a mere Dou Wang, that was still far too dangerous, so the Break-Obstacle Pill was the best choice.

Xiao Jie casually stored the pill bottle containing the Break-Obstacle Pill in his Storage Ring, then entered a state of cultivation.

Three days later, inside the Mittel Auction House.

"Young Master Xiao Jie, you're here? Please, have a seat. Are you here to purchase medicinal ingredients this time, or...?" the manager of the Mittel Auction House asked.

"I'm here to buy medicinal ingredients this time, and also to sell some pills I refined. These are first-grade Qi Recovery Pills, first-grade Rejuvenation Pills, and second-grade Bone-Growing Pills that I refined. Take a look and give me a price." Xiao Jie took the pills from his Storage Ring as he spoke.

The manager stared at the pill bottles before him in shock. It had only been a little over a month since Xiao Jie had bought his pill furnace, yet he was already able to refine second-grade pills. The manager had clearly heard Xiao Jie say that these second-grade Bone-Growing Pills were personally refined by him, and his respect for Xiao Jie deepened further.

"Young Master Xiao Jie, please wait a moment. The pills need to be examined by a professional appraiser. It is not that we doubt you, but simply the rules. Please forgive us, Young Master Xiao Jie."

"Mm, that's only proper. I'll wait here. In the meantime, have someone prepare the medicinal ingredients I want first."

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Jie. I'll arrange for someone to prepare them at once."

The manager left with the pills. A quarter of an hour later, he returned with two people. One of them was Ya Fei, while the other was an arrogant-looking second-grade alchemist in his forties or fifties.
