Xiao Ze opened two Red Treasure Chests, and the rewards immediately appeared on the system panel.
[The host opened two Red Treasure Chests and drew rewards from them.] [Critical-hit reward obtained: Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.] [Alchemist rank increased. The host has reached Tier 4.]
Xiao Ze looked at the system panel.
The rewards he had just received were the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, ranked twenty-second among the Heavenly Flames.
As well as an increase in his Alchemist rank.
He had now reached the level of a Tier 4 Alchemist.
"Not bad. I didn't expect the rewards this time to be quite decent."
Xiao Ze looked at the panel rewards and muttered to himself.
Xiao Xun'er, standing before him, wore an astonished expression. She had not expected Xiao Ze to reach the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Shi in such a short time.
She was indeed greatly taken aback.
So she immediately said,
"Brother Xiao Ze, I never expected your strength to become even greater than before."
"But Xun'er won't admit defeat so easily. Even if Brother Xiao Ze is very strong, Xun'er still won't give up so easily."
"Otherwise, Brother Xiao Ze will laugh at Xun'er."
Xiao Xun'er activated the Dou Qi within her body.
Then she launched an attack. She was extremely fast, even though she only possessed the strength of a Dou Zhe.
But Xun'er cultivated many techniques, Dou Skills, and other abilities and methods.
Moreover, she was undeniably a little rich girl.
Xiao Ze could not help sighing. Having such a wealthy little girlfriend was truly wonderful.
That old bastard Gu Yuan, after Xiao Xuan severely injured Hun Tiandi,
had not launched an attack on the Soul Clan and wiped out its forces in one stroke.
Instead, he found a woman and had a daughter.
Xiao Xuan next door, at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm, was striving to break through to Dou Di.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuan, also at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm, was busy making babies.
Even though Hun Tiandi was already half-crippled, Gu Yuan still hid behind the scenes like a turtle, waiting to reap the benefits.
He even coveted the Xiao Family's Tou She Ancient God Jade.
Unable to lower his pride himself, he placed his daughter in the Xiao Family, waiting for a chance to steal it.
That old bastard was truly shameless.
Xiao Ze had no favorable impression of Gu Yuan whatsoever.
No wonder Gu Yuan's online rating was even lower than Yun Shan's.
Xiao Xun'er attacked, and Xiao Ze immediately responded.
But with just one move, Xiao Xun'er was forced back in defeat.
At the same time, Xiao Xun'er knew very well that Xiao Ze possessed the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Shi.
Compared to him, the gap between them was simply too great.
If he truly wanted to attack and used his full strength, she definitely would not be his match.
"Brother Xiao Ze, thank you for going easy on me just now. Otherwise, I definitely would have been seriously injured," Xiao Xun'er said.
Xiao Ze replied with a smile.
"It was only a sparring match. Besides, how could I bear to watch you get hurt, Xun'er?"
After hearing Xiao Ze's words, a blush flashed across Xiao Xun'er's face.
Then she said, "Brother Xiao Ze, why are you looking at me like that...?"
Two hours later, the sparring match between Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er came to an end.
Xun'er left the Xiao Family's Back Mountain.
After returning, she became even more determined in her thoughts and plans.
"I must improve my strength and break through to the Dou Shi realm as soon as possible."
"I can't fall too far behind Brother Xiao Ze and make him think that my talent and strength are too poor, that the gap between us is too great."
"I hope that, in Brother Xiao Ze's heart, I am someone worthy of him."
Xiao Xun'er muttered to herself inwardly.
At this time, Xiao Ze was still in the Back Mountain.
Last time, Medicine Elder had helped him refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
At that time, he had only been a Tier 3 Alchemist.
He had not possessed the ability to refine this Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill.
But things were different now. Through the reward obtained from the Red Treasure Chest just now,
he had become a Tier 4 Alchemist, enough to refine it.
Thus, Xiao Ze gathered another set of ingredients for the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
He took out the pill furnace from his Storage Ring and began refining the pill.
As he refined the pill, Yao Chen emerged from the Storage Ring in surprise.
Seeing Xiao Ze actually refining the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, Yao Chen was astonished.
He knew Xiao Ze's ability. At present, he should only have been able to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills.
Thus, Yao Chen immediately said,
"Xiao Ze, your teacher knows that you are eager to raise your Alchemist rank, but the art of alchemy cannot be improved overnight. It always takes time..."
Before Yao Chen could finish speaking, he noticed that a ball of crimson flame suddenly appeared in Xiao Ze's hand.
This flame was not the flame formed from his fire-attributed Dou Qi.
It was a Heavenly Flame.
Although it was far inferior to Yao Chen's Bone Chilling Flame,
it was still a Heavenly Flame. From the looks of it, it should be the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Yao Chen's expression was full of shock.
He had not expected his disciple to possess such a method and trump card.
"Little fellow, I never expected you to subdue the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, ranked twenty-second. Although it is second from the bottom on the Heavenly Flame Ranking and naturally far inferior to the Heavenly Flames ranked above it,"
"with your current strength, being able to subdue a Heavenly Flame is already an extremely difficult feat."
Yao Chen said in great shock.
Xiao Ze smiled but said nothing.
At that moment, several lines of text appeared on the system panel.
[Current mission: Refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill and make Yao Chen view you in a new light.] [Reward: One-Star Da Dou Shi realm.] [Accept mission?]
Without any hesitation, Xiao Ze immediately chose to accept the mission.
As long as he successfully refined a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill later
and made Yao Chen see his alchemy talent in a new light,
he would be able to raise his Dou Qi level, directly crossing the Dou Shi realm and entering the Da Dou Shi realm.
Xiao Ze activated the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame within his body and began refining the pill.
After about an hour, a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, shot out.
Xiao Ze looked at the purple pill in his hand.
He smiled in great satisfaction.
"The Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill has finally been successfully refined."
Upon seeing this scene, Yao Chen was so shocked that he was completely speechless.
Yao Chen had not expected that, in his lifetime, he would encounter a disciple with such astonishing alchemy talent.
Compared to that traitorous disciple Han Feng, Xiao Ze's talent was hundreds, even tens of thousands of times greater.
Yao Chen exclaimed, "Little fellow, I never expected you to have reached the rank of a Tier 4 Alchemist?"
"You can actually refine Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills?"
"Ha ha ha! As expected of my, Yao Chen's, disciple. Truly astounding! Even your teacher feels inferior!"
