The Formula for a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill!

Two days later, Xiao Ze concluded his daily cultivation, left the back mountain of the clan, and returned to the inner courtyard of the Xiao Family.

Just as he arrived in the inner courtyard, he saw Xiao Xun'er walking toward him.

The moment Xiao Xun'er caught sight of Xiao Ze, a smile immediately blossomed on her face. From a distance, she called out, "Brother Xiao Ze."

She then quickened her pace, walking toward him.

As Xiao Xun'er approached, Xiao Ze noticed that his System Panel was displaying a new task.

[New Task: Accept the gift of the Ancient Clan's cultivation technique from Xiao Xun'er. Select to accept.]

[Reward: Gain 30 points of favorability from Xiao Xun'er.]

Xiao Ze glanced at the two tasks just released by the System Panel; they were not difficult. He accepted them both, knowing he would receive rewards upon completion.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Ze and said, "Brother Xiao Ze, I heard that you have already advanced to the strength of a Dou Ling. Is this true?"

Xiao Xun'er was extremely surprised. Xiao Ze's rate of improvement was truly too fast, making it even harder for her to keep up.

However, since Xiao Ze was already at the Dou Ling level, he was now qualified to access many high-threshold Dou Techniques and cultivation methods.

With that, Xiao Xun'er took two scrolls out of her Storage Ring—one red and one black.

These two scrolls were a Dou Technique and a cultivation method respectively. "Brother Xiao Ze, these two scrolls—one is a high-tier Earth-grade cultivation method, and the other is an Earth-grade Dou Technique called the God Seal Art."

"However, to practice this Dou Technique, one needs at least the strength of a Dou Wang."

"Xun'er is giving this technique to you, but Brother Xiao Ze, you must promise me not to practice it until you reach the Dou Wang level. Otherwise, I fear it will harm you and cause a backlash," Xiao Xun'er cautioned.

Xiao Ze certainly would not refuse the Dou Technique and cultivation method gifted by Xiao Xun'er.

He accepted them, not only because of the system tasks but also because that old geezer Gu Yuan had likely embezzled countless Xiao Clan techniques ever since Xiao Xuan fell.

Furthermore, the quota for the Xiao Clan to enter the Heavenly Tomb had also been monopolized by the Ancient Clan.

Taking a mere God Seal Art was something Xiao Ze felt perfectly justified in doing. Once he accepted it, the system rewards appeared before his eyes.

[Host has completed the task: Accepted the Dou Technique and cultivation method gifted by Xiao Xun'er. Received a random reward: one chance for a lucky draw.]

[After the draw, the Host has received a reward: +45 Agility attribute.]

After claiming the system reward, the corners of his mouth curled upward. Next was the second task: gaining 30 points of favorability from Xiao Xun'er. This task was also not difficult and would be easy to complete.

"Xun'er, I've been busy with cultivation lately and haven't had the time to keep you company. Since I'm free today, why don't I take you to the market in Wutan City?"

"Perhaps we'll stumble upon something good," Xiao Ze said.

"Okay, that's wonderful!" Xiao Xun'er nodded. As long as it was an invitation from Xiao Ze, she would feel happy regardless of what they did.

Even as the young lady of an ancient clan who lacked for nothing, Xiao Xun'er would never refuse an invitation from Xiao Ze; in fact, she felt quite excited and joyful.

After leaving the estate, Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er departed the Xiao Family.

They went to the market and saw an entire street lined with stalls. Xiao Xun'er looked around, but she had little interest in the items being sold.

It wasn't until she saw a bracelet that looked rather pretty that she paused for a moment, seemingly interested.

Xiao Ze did not hesitate and immediately said to the stall owner, "I'll take this bracelet."

"Alright, little brother, you certainly have a good eye!" the stall owner said instinctively. But when he looked up and saw Xiao Ze's face, his expression turned to one of shock.

The man immediately said, "Aren't you the Fourth Young Master of the Xiao Family, Xiao Ze? Your reputation in our Wutan City, and even the entire Gama Empire, has been incredibly resounding lately."

"Since Young Master Xiao Ze has taken a liking to it, I'll just give this bracelet to you. Why be so formal?" The man was tactful; once he recognized Xiao Ze, he had no intention of taking money and offered it as a gift instead.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er left the stall. Walking down the road, Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and giggled. "Brother Xiao Ze, your reputation in our Wutan City is truly resounding now."

"Even the shopkeepers at the market have heard of your great name," Xiao Xun'er said with a smile.

"Xun'er, are you teasing me?" As Xiao Ze spoke, he immediately reached out and ruffled her hair.

He then gave her the bracelet he had just acquired and fastened it onto her wrist. A moment later, Xiao Ze's focus shifted to the System Panel.

He began waiting for the reward results, feeling quite expectant about what he might receive.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ze. I really like this bracelet," Xiao Xun'er replied.

After leaving that area, they wandered around other places. Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er spent the entire day together, only returning to the Xiao Family at dusk.

After having dinner outside, they returned together. Once they parted ways, Xiao Ze went back to his room.

He looked at the system task reward, which displayed: [Host has gained 30 points of favorability from Xiao Xun'er. Task completed. Received an Orange Treasure Chest.]

[Would you like to open the chest? Please select.]

"Open the chest." Having made his choice, Xiao Ze kept his eyes on the System Panel before him.

[Host has opened an Orange Treasure Chest and performed a lucky draw. Received reward: one random recipe for a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill.]

Xiao Ze looked at the pill recipe he had just obtained. It was for a medicine called the Heavenly Spirit Powder, which could help cultivators at the Dou Zhe level achieve the maximum possible improvement in their physical constitution.

Once enhanced, their rate of improvement at the Dou Zhe stage would be significantly increased and accelerated.

Although the grade was not particularly high, the effect was still extremely significant.

As for the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Heavenly Spirit Powder, Xiao Ze lacked the time and energy to search for them.

Therefore, he went to the Mittel Auction House, intending to ask Ya Fei of the Mittel Auction House to help him gather the ingredients.

Ya Fei ran the auction house there, and with the backing of the Mittel Family, combined with her own methods and connections, finding these herbs should not be a difficult task.

"Alright, Young Master Xiao Ze, rest assured. I will gather the herbs for this Fourth-Grade Heavenly Spirit Powder as quickly as possible and have them delivered to the Xiao Family estate," Ya Fei said with a faint smile, though she felt quite puzzled in her heart.
