Before long, a month and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yang sat cross-legged inside a wooden tub, the green spirit liquid within it trembling faintly.
A great amount of green energy swirled around him.
The streams of energy continuously entered his body through his pores.
Xiao Yang's somewhat youthful face also shone with a luster like warm jade.
Just then, the young man's body trembled slightly, and the energy of heaven and earth around him gathered toward this place.
After an unknown amount of time, the corner of Xiao Yang's mouth curved upward slightly.
His eyelashes fluttered faintly, and moments later, his dark eyes slowly opened.
Within those black pupils, a faint white gleam tinged with pale green flashed by.
"Huff!"
Xiao Yang exhaled a breath of turbid air, which drifted two or three meters away.
Then he stood up and stretched, letting the droplets slide down his body.
Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within him, a trace of intoxication flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.
Just then, a long-unheard voice rang out in his mind.
"Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to the Dou Qi Seventh Stage. Reward: 10 Origin Points!"
Xiao Yang was not surprised by this.
After all, he had previously seen in the system's description that one way to obtain Origin Points was through breakthroughs in cultivation realms.
For major realm breakthroughs, from becoming a Dou Zhe to becoming a Saint of Fighting, one could receive between 100 and 900 Origin Points.
For minor realm breakthroughs, the Origin Points gained were only one-tenth of those from major realm breakthroughs.
As for the Dou Qi stages, each stage breakthrough granted ten Origin Points.
After two months of cultivation, Xiao Yang's cultivation had successfully reached the Dou Qi Seventh Stage!
This was even faster than he had expected!
Because during his cultivation, Xiao Yang's meridians had expanded quite a bit.
Not only that, his physique had also improved.
Although the increase was not very great, these were all additional effects of the Foundation Building Divine Liquid.
This delighted Xiao Yang immensely!
However, because Xiao Yang had barely rested at all, he had consumed the Foundation Building Divine Liquid very quickly.
He estimated that his portion of Foundation Building Divine Liquid would be used up in another two months!
That was because he had already consumed nearly half of it.
He planned to enhance a bottle of Foundation Building Spirit Liquid after he finished using it all, just to see what would happen.
Xiao Yang stepped out of the wooden tub, picked up the towel beside him, and dried the water from his body.
Then he got dressed and headed toward Xiao Yan's small courtyard.
Yao Lao had once instructed him to visit him after breaking through to the Dou Qi Seventh Stage.
Before long, Xiao Yang arrived at Xiao Yan's small courtyard.
The moment he knocked, the courtyard gate opened on its own.
Yao Lao's voice reached his ears.
"Come in. Don't make any noise. Xiao Yan is breaking through."
Xiao Yang's expression tightened, and he hurriedly shut his mouth, which had just opened.
He entered the courtyard and carefully closed the gate behind him.
Then he tiptoed over to Xiao Yan's room.
Just then, Yao Lao floated straight through the door and emerged from inside.
Xiao Yang was startled as well.
Yao Lao really did look like a ghost like this!
"How did you... Hmm? You actually broke through to the Dou Qi Seventh Stage so quickly?!"
There was a trace of shock in Yao Lao's eyes as he looked at Xiao Yang.
Although the effects of the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid had far exceeded his expectations, he had never thought Xiao Yang could break through to the Dou Qi Seventh Stage this quickly.
"Hehe, I just broke through today. Pure luck, pure luck."
Xiao Yang rubbed his nose and spoke softly.
After rolling his eyes at Xiao Yang, Yao Lao transmitted his voice to him.
"Perfect. Wait here with me."
"After Xiao Yan breaks through, the two of you can begin together."
Hearing this, Xiao Yang said nothing more and quietly waited by the door.
Not long after, Xiao Yan's somewhat excited voice came from within the room.
"Teacher, Teacher, I broke through to the Fifth Stage of Dou Qi!"
Yao Lao did not stand on ceremony and directly opened the door.
Looking at Xiao Yan inside, a playful look flashed across Xiao Yang's face.
"Oh? I didn't know you enjoyed letting it all hang out."
Xiao Yan froze when he saw Xiao Yang at the door.
Upon hearing his words, his face immediately reddened. He quickly turned around and hurriedly found some clothes to put on.
Yao Lao chuckled from the side and floated into the room as well.
"Good. You've also broken through to the Fifth Stage of Dou Qi."
"With your current physiques, you can begin cultivating Fighting Skills."
Now that Xiao Yan was dressed, he had no time to care about Xiao Yang's earlier teasing.
"Teacher, what Fighting Skills do you have?"
"With your status, you should have plenty of Heaven Tier Fighting Skills, right?"
Upon hearing that, Yao Lao immediately glared and said.
"Heaven Tier Fighting Skills? Why don't you just keep dreaming?!"
"And with your current cultivation, you want to cultivate Heaven Tier Fighting Skills?"
"Even an Earth Tier Fighting Skill could drain you into a dried-up corpse!"
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan said awkwardly.
"Then what level of Fighting Skill is it?"
"With your current cultivation, you cannot cultivate some of the more powerful Xuan Tier Fighting Skills either."
"Especially those that require fire-attribute Dou Qi."
"So I'll teach you a Xuan Tier Fighting Skill renowned for its offensive power."
"With your current cultivation, you should be able to display a little of its might."
Xiao Yan's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Yao Lao's words.
"A Xuan Tier Fighting Skill?!"
"What grade is it?"
One had to know that the Xiao Clan's strongest Fighting Skill was merely a single Xuan Tier technique.
And only the clan head was allowed to cultivate it.
All the others were Huang Tier Fighting Skills.
Xiao Yang vaguely guessed what Fighting Skill Yao Lao was about to give them.
Could it be Eight Extremes Collapse?
This was a Fighting Skill that could be used from the Dou Qi stage all the way to Saint of Fighting!
It was practically like the Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger from that neighboring Three-Character Martial Arts.
"It should be high Xuan Tier. I think someone once begged me in tears to accept it."
"But I wasn't very interested back then. If he hadn't been so annoying, I wouldn't have agreed to refine pills for him."
Yao Lao spoke casually.
His nonchalant manner made it sound as though he were talking about common weeds growing everywhere.
"A Xuan Tier Fighting Skill? He begged you in tears to accept it?"
Several black lines appeared across Xiao Yan's face.
Just then, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Yao Lao.
"Why can I cultivate it at the Fifth Stage of Dou Qi, while Brother Yang had to reach the Dou Qi Seventh Stage before he could?"
Yao Lao did not hide anything and said directly.
"You once broke through to become a Dou Zhe, so your physique is better than Xiao Yang's."
"This Fighting Skill has some requirements for one's physique. Xiao Yang's physique was originally inferior to yours, so I told him to come only after reaching the Dou Qi Seventh Stage."
"Alright, both of you close your eyes and focus your minds. I'll pass the Fighting Skill on to you."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly sat down cross-legged and obediently closed his eyes.
Xiao Yang did the same.
Yao Lao extended both hands and lightly touched their foreheads with his fingers.
The next moment, Xiao Yang felt a huge amount of information flood into his mind, making his head swell painfully.
"Eight Extremes Collapse, a high Xuan Tier Fighting Skill!"
