Xiao Ze focused his gaze on the System Panel. At this moment, after opening the purple treasure chest and drawing a prize, he had obtained a purple-grade reward.
The System Panel displayed the reward: Three Thousand Lightning Movement, an earth-tier movement Dou Technique.
Xiao Ze was very satisfied with the reward. As expected of something drawn from a purple treasure chest—it truly was extraordinary!
As the Imperial Extreme Pill went up for auction, many influential figures of the Jia Ma Empire began a frenzied bidding war.
After roughly two hours, the Imperial Extreme Pill finally fell into the hands of Jia Xingtian, guardian of the Gama Empire Royal Family.
He was a peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor. Now that he had the Imperial Extreme Pill, while he could not claim with absolute certainty that he would break through to the Dou Zong realm—
there was at least a great deal of hope.
After winning the Imperial Extreme Pill, Jia Xingtian was immensely satisfied and excited!
He could hardly wait. He only wanted to find a quiet place as soon as possible, consume the Imperial Extreme Pill, and begin cultivating.
He wanted to see whether he could break through the final barrier of the Dou Emperor realm and enter the Dou Zong realm!
If he could, that would be wonderful. As the guardian of the Gama Empire Royal Family,
he would no longer have to suffer headaches and feel helpless over maintaining the balance between the royal family and the major sects!
If he advanced into the Dou Zong realm, he would no longer need to worry about any of that.
A Dou Zong was a one-of-a-kind existence within the Jia Ma Empire. Jia Xingtian was filled with anticipation and excitement!
After leaving the Mittel Auction House, Jia Xingtian manifested his Douqi wings and found a quiet place.
In a mountain range, after consuming the Imperial Extreme Pill, he began cultivating and absorbing its medicinal power!
Several hours later, Jia Xingtian slowly opened his eyes. At that instant, the Douqi around him surged explosively.
Fama, Pill King Gu He, and Mittel Tengshan, who were in Wutan City, exchanged glances.
They had just been discussing this. "That old monster Jia Xingtian became a Nine-Star Dou Emperor many years ago, and he is even a peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor."
"Now that he has won the Imperial Extreme Pill, if it truly allows him to break through into the Dou Zong realm, that would be a huge problem!"
"The power of the Gama Empire Royal Family will rise sharply from then on. The Misty Cloud Sect and the other sects will no longer carry any weight."
"Isn't that exactly what that old fellow Jia Xingtian has wanted to see all these years?"
"What he least wants to see is the sects steadily growing stronger while the Gama Empire Royal Family gradually declines. As one rises and the other falls, that is a tremendous threat to the royal family."
"As the guardian of the Gama Empire Royal Family, that old fellow naturally does not want to see such a situation."
"If he really manages to break through into the Dou Zong realm, then that truly would be..." Before they could finish speaking, the three of them sensed an immensely powerful energy erupting from the nearby mountain range!
"What terrifying energy." All three exclaimed, then manifested their Douqi wings and headed toward the nearby mountains to investigate.
Could that old fellow Jia Xingtian really have used the Imperial Extreme Pill's power to advance into the Dou Zong realm?
After arriving, they saw Jia Xingtian's Douqi surge wildly. Without even manifesting his Douqi wings, he was able to walk through the air.
Clearly, this was the sign of someone advancing into the Dou Zong realm.
"That old fellow really did advance into the Dou Zong realm." The three of them sighed. It seemed that the Top Ten Experts of the Gama Empire would exist in name only from now on.
That old fellow Jia Xingtian would become the strongest Douqi practitioner in the Jia Ma Empire, without question.
Jia Xingtian himself was astonished. He had never expected that he would break through into the Dou Zong realm this time.
He had not expected the Imperial Extreme Pill brought by that little fellow Xiao Ze to possess such incredible medicinal efficacy. It was simply unbelievable.
Although he had advanced into the Dou Zong realm and was now someone no one in the Jia Ma Empire could compare to,
there was one person he absolutely could not ignore: Xiao Ze, the fourth young master of the Xiao Family in Wutan City.
After all, his breakthrough into the Dou Zong realm had relied entirely on the Imperial Extreme Pill Xiao Ze had brought.
In a small place like Wutan City, with no significant family background, how had he managed to produce such a high-grade Tier 6 Medicinal Pill with such potent effects?
Jia Xingtian's heart was filled with countless doubts. He found it truly difficult to understand.
At that moment, Jia Xingtian turned his attention to the people before him and saw that Fama, Pill King Gu He, and Mittel Tengshan had all arrived.
Jia Xingtian said, "The three of you are here. As you can see, after consuming Xiao Ze's Imperial Extreme Pill, I have finally broken through the Dou Emperor bottleneck that had trapped me for years and entered the Dou Zong realm."
"So this is the strength of a Dou Zong? What terrifying energy." The three of them marveled, and without exception, all were shocked by Xiao Ze.
Before Xiao Ze left the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei handed him a Purple Gold Card.
It held eighty million gold coins, along with a Storage Ring containing several high-grade profound-tier Dou Techniques and cultivation methods.
These were all the items Jia Xingtian had paid to auction the Imperial Extreme Pill.
After Xiao Ze returned to the Back Mountain of his family, he looked at the Purple Gold Card in his hand. Eighty million gold coins were stored inside—enough to last him for quite some time.
He could not help but sigh. Alchemists truly were a profession that never lacked money. A single medicinal pill had earned him eighty million gold coins.
Moreover, there were quite a few high-grade profound-tier Dou Techniques and cultivation methods, all from the Gama Empire Royal Family.
Xiao Ze was very satisfied. At that moment, his attention fell upon the System Panel before him.
[Current mission: After returning to the family's Back Mountain, cultivate for one hour!] [Mission reward: Four-Star Grand Dou Shi strength]
Xiao Ze immediately sat cross-legged and began meditating. As long as he cultivated for one hour, his Douqi strength would increase, allowing him to enter the Four-Star Grand Dou Shi realm.
Very quickly, in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
When Xiao Ze opened his eyes again, an hour had already gone by.
After an hour of cultivation, the mission that had just been issued by the System Panel had been completed by Xiao Ze.
[Host has completed the mission and gained an increase in strength. Current realm: Four-Star Grand Dou Shi]
Xiao Ze looked at the System Backpack and immediately turned his attention to the earth-tier movement Dou Technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, intending to cultivate it.
After leaving the family's Back Mountain, Xiao Ze had just returned to the family hall.
He heard fierce arguing within the Xiao Family, though he did not know what they were arguing about.
But the moment Xiao Ze entered, the hall fell silent!
