Marrow Cleansing Pill

Just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Xiao Yan's small courtyard.

The youth in the wooden basin slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

"Teacher, I've broken through to the Dou Qi Fourth Stage!"

As soon as he spoke, a phantom appeared beside Xiao Yan.

Yao Lao looked at the much lighter-colored cyan spirit liquid, surprise flashing through his eyes.

"I didn't expect the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid to work so well!"

"It seems you may reach the Dou Qi Seventh Stage in less than a year."

"It's just that the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid is being used up a little too quickly."

"At your rate, it may be completely used up in less than a month and a half."

As he spoke, Yao Lao used his soul power to sense the energy concentration within the cyan spirit liquid.

Xiao Yan sighed as well.

"Sigh, pills really cost a fortune."

"This was personally refined by Teacher, so it only cost the price of the materials."

"If we bought it directly, we might spend tens of thousands of gold coins in a month and a half."

Hearing this, Yao Lao spoke with a smug expression.

"Of course. Who do you think your teacher is?"

"I'm the only one who has an auxiliary spirit liquid suitable for use during the Dou Qi stage!"

Xiao Yan had already grown accustomed to Yao Lao's narcissism.

He changed the subject and asked.

"Teacher, how do you think Brother Yang is doing now?"

For the past half month, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yang had both remained in their rooms cultivating.

As a result, the two had not seen each other during that time.

Yao Lao sighed upon hearing that.

"Sigh, Xiao Yang's talent is not as good as yours, and you are also recultivating, so your progress will naturally be faster than his."

"Although the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid is even more effective than I expected, he likely could not have improved much in only half a month."

To be honest, taking Xiao Yang as a disciple had merely been incidental for Yao Lao.

That was only because Xiao Yang himself was a good person.

Otherwise, with his talent, Yao Lao would not have accepted him as a disciple so easily.

Xiao Yan could not help falling silent.

"Teacher, are there any pills that can improve one's aptitude?"

Yao Lao answered without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes, but they are at least sixth-grade pills."

"I can refine one, and I am willing to refine one for Xiao Yang, but we have no medicinal ingredients right now!"

As he said this, helplessness flashed across Yao Lao's face.

He possessed formidable alchemy skills, but he could not conjure pills out of thin air.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up at once.

"If that's the case, then let's hurry and tell Brother Yang about this."

"We may not have medicinal ingredients here, but we can ask Brother Yang to have the Mittel Auction House keep an eye out for them!"

Yao Lao's eyes also lit up upon hearing Xiao Yan's words.

"That will work. Come on, let's go find Xiao Yang now."

Since he had accepted Xiao Yang as his disciple, Yao Lao would do his best to help and teach him.

The earlier one took this kind of pill that improved potential, the better.

Of course, it would be best if one could take it while still in the womb.

Otherwise, it was best to take it during the Dou Qi stage.

After all, the Dou Qi stage was when one laid one's foundation.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Brother Yang, it's me! Open the door!"

Hearing the knocking and the shout from outside, Xiao Yang slowly opened his eyes.

"Wait a moment, I need to put on some clothes!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yang rose and stepped out of the wooden tub, casually wiping the water droplets from his body.

Then, with a thought, the wooden tub before him suddenly vanished, replaced by another tub filled with Foundation Building Spirit Liquid.

Moreover, the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid inside had been diluted a second time.

After finishing all this, he left the room, walked to the entrance of the courtyard, and opened the gate.

"What is it? Your Foundation Building Spirit Liquid shouldn't have run out so quickly, should it?"

Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Yan before him with some curiosity.

Xiao Yan impatiently pulled Xiao Yang into the residence.

After entering, he casually shut the gate behind them.

"Come on, Brother Yang. Let's talk inside."

Once they entered the residence, Xiao Yan did not hide anything and directly explained why he had come.

"Brother Yang, Teacher said there's a sixth-grade pill called the Marrow Cleansing Pill that can improve a cultivator's aptitude."

"I think you can ask the Mittal Trading Firm to keep an eye out for the medicinal ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"If we can find the ingredients and have Teacher refine it for you, you'll be able to improve your talent as well!"

Xiao Yang's gaze shifted upon hearing that.

Improve one's talent?

In truth, after cultivating these past few days, Xiao Yang had also felt the Foundation Building Divine Liquid improving his aptitude.

Though it was not by much, his meridians were now slightly wider than before!

And that was only after half a month!

He estimated that once he used up all this Foundation Building Divine Liquid, his cultivation speed could probably increase by around thirty percent compared to before!

That was already extremely good!

But how could Xiao Yang possibly think there was too much of something that improved one's aptitude?

Moreover, he could amplify it!

Even if he had to use one Unlimited Amplification Opportunity on it, he would be willing!

Unlimited Amplification Opportunities not only had no restriction on an item's grade, but could amplify items for free!

Thinking of this, excitement flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

"What medicinal ingredients are needed? I'll have the Mittel Auction House help me gather them."

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Yao Lao appeared beside them.

"The Marrow Cleansing Pill requires quite a few medicinal ingredients, and they are all rather precious."

"It requires one Tier 6 Magic Core, three Golden Sun Flower petals..."

Yao Lao proceeded to list nearly twenty kinds of medicinal ingredients.

Xiao Yang memorized every ingredient one by one.

After looking them over, he realized that he did not even recognize many of the ingredients!

The few he did recognize were all extremely expensive.

Setting everything else aside, the Tier 6 Magic Core alone was exceptionally difficult to obtain.

However difficult it was, Xiao Yang still had to try.

"I understand, Teacher. I'll have the Mittel Auction House keep an eye out for them."

Looking at the materials, Xiao Yang felt somewhat troubled.

With his current wealth, he might not even be able to afford half of the medicinal ingredients.

Over the past few years, Xiao Yang had earned quite a bit and was even wealthier than the Xiao Clan.

But he only had less than two million gold coins.

Among those materials, the Tier 6 Magic Core alone cost more than a million gold coins!

And it was very difficult to purchase!

After all, on the Northwest Continent, a Tier 6 Magic Core was an extremely precious item to every faction.

Even money could not buy it!

He just did not know whether directly amplifying a magic core would work.

However, Xiao Yang did not have many Origin Points at the moment, so he could not casually experiment.

Just then, Yao Lao spoke.

"If you don't have enough money, you can buy some medicinal ingredients for me. I'll refine them into pills, and you can sell them."

"Very few alchemists are truly short on money!"

Xiao Yang's eyes immediately lit up.

"Alright, Teacher. If necessary, I'll come find you."

Xiao Yang went to the small house beside the residence, found his maid, and asked her to deliver a letter to Ya Fei listing the medicinal ingredients he needed.
