Cultivating the Flame Mantra

Xiao Jie came back to his senses. He had now become a Dou Zhe and could begin cultivating the Flame Mantra.

With that thought, he sat cross-legged beside the hot spring pool, and the cultivation methods of the Flame Mantra surfaced in his mind.

Although this technique was currently only a low-tier Yellow Rank technique, it could evolve by devouring Heavenly Flames. Moreover, among techniques of the same rank, no technique in this world could compare to it.

Time flew by. Half a day later, Xiao Jie opened his eyes, a flicker of red light appearing within them. He spread his right hand and struck out with his palm. A large tree beside him crashed to the ground. Though he had not used a Dou Technique, the power was still considerable.

The power is fairly decent. This technique greatly boosts fire-element power, but aside from my cultivation and the Flame Mantra I just learned, I don't know a single Dou Technique.

Thinking this, Xiao Jie felt rather awkward. He had looked down on Yellow Rank Dou Techniques and had not wanted to learn them, while Mystic Rank Dou Techniques were unsuitable for those below the Dou Zhe level. Thus, he had focused solely on raising his cultivation, which was why he had advanced to Dou Zhe in just three short years.

Although the Simulator was excellent, it would not directly raise his cultivation. It was more like an advanced support tool that kept him from lacking resources. During his simulations over the past three years, he had obtained several medicinal pills that could raise cultivation, but none were suitable for someone below the Dou Zhe level. Only two packets of Qi Gathering Powder had been usable, and he had already used one.

Now that Xiao Jie was a Dou Zhe and had cultivated the Flame Mantra, he could begin making plans for the future.

First, he needed to cultivate Dou Techniques and arm himself. Second, he could begin preparing to refine medicinal pills and raise his alchemist rank.

Over the past three years, aside from cultivation, Xiao Jie had studied alchemy. He had read the Tier 4 Alchemist Insights obtained from the Simulator until he knew them inside out. All he lacked was practical experience.

Xiao Jie had also obtained quite a few medicinal ingredients and gold coins from the Simulator. Though most of the ingredients were precious, he had over three million gold coins, more than enough to purchase materials for practice.

With that in mind, Xiao Jie rose and headed toward the medicinal shop. He no longer had the mood to soak in the hot spring.

Before long, Xiao Jie arrived at the largest medicinal shop in Wutan City.

"Shopkeeper, prepare ten sets of the medicinal ingredients on this list."

Xiao Jie said to the shopkeeper.

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Jie. I will prepare them immediately. Please wait a moment."

"Why haven't you served Young Master Xiao Jie some tea yet?"

The shopkeeper said to a maidservant.

"Yes."

After Xiao Jie sat down, the maidservant came over to refill his tea. Ever since Xiao Jie had revealed his talent more than a year ago, all of Wutan City had learned that the Xiao Clan had produced another genius. Although Xiao Jie kept a low profile, the major forces of Wutan City had still remembered his appearance.

The shopkeeper of Wutan City's largest medicinal shop was naturally no exception. The maidservant might not know him, but as the manager of a shop, he naturally had to recognize certain important figures.

Before long, the shopkeeper emerged from inside. The ingredients were not particularly precious; they were merely materials for refining Tier 1 Rejuvenation Pills and Tier 1 Qi Recovery Pills, so they were not difficult to find.

"Young Master Xiao Jie, all the medicinal ingredients you requested are in this Storage Ring. The total is forty-seven thousand eight hundred gold coins. Forty-seven thousand will do."

"Mm. The goods are good."

Xiao Jie said after inspecting the ingredients. He then handed his card to the shopkeeper and stored the ingredients in his own Storage Ring. The shopkeeper quickly settled the payment.

"Young Master Xiao Jie, this is your gold card. Please keep it safe. If you need anything next time, you may simply send a servant to inform us. I will have someone deliver the medicinal ingredients directly to your residence."

"Mm. I'll come again once I've used them up."

With that, Xiao Jie turned and left.

Watching Xiao Jie's departing figure, the shopkeeper thought to himself:

What is he buying so many medicinal ingredients for? Could the Xiao Clan have an alchemist? I heard Xiao Jie has fire-element Dou Qi. Could he be planning to become an alchemist?

At this thought, he decided that no matter what, he could not offend this person. Leaving aside Xiao Jie's terrifying cultivation talent, he might now even become an alchemist. It was even more impossible to make an enemy of him.
