Obtaining Dou Sheng Cultivation

Yao Chen looked at the white blind box, which had already been deposited into the system's inventory and, per his command, had been opened.

He was quite curious about what kind of reward he could draw from this white blind box.

However, according to the system's introduction, it should be the lowest tier of rewards; to obtain higher-tier rewards, one would need to trigger orange, red, or gold treasure chests to receive heaven-defying prizes.

Still, he understood the principle that something was better than nothing.

[Opened a white blind box and obtained the reward: Flame Palm Dou Technique.]

Although Flame Palm could not be considered a profound Dou Technique, it was the most suitable for Xiao Yan to practice at his current level.

Yao Chen looked at the system panel and asked, "System, is there a beginner's gift pack for obtaining the system?"

[The beginner's gift pack has been delivered to the host's inventory. Please check it yourself.]

Yao Chen opened the system's inventory, saw the beginner's gift pack as expected, and immediately chose to open it.

"System, open the beginner's gift pack immediately." Yao Chen was eager to know what kind of rewards he could get from this beginner's pack.

[The host has opened the beginner's gift pack and obtained the cultivation of a Dou Sheng.]

Yao Chen was stunned; he had not expected that he would now possess the strength of a Dou Sheng.

Although he was currently in a soul state and could not fully unleash the complete power of a Dou Sheng, at the very least, he was a genuine Dou Sheng.

Yao Chen was thrilled to have the strength of a Dou Sheng right from the start.

But then again, before his death, Yao Chen had already been at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun level.

One step further would have been a Ban Sheng, pushing right toward the Dou Sheng level.

The system's gift pack was certainly impressive.

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen and said, "Teacher, since I am your student now, why don't you just give me a Heaven-tier cultivation method to practice?"

"Nonsense, do you think Heaven-tier cultivation methods are wild potatoes growing on the ground?"

"Old man, you've been absorbing my Dou Qi for three years, after all. If you don't give me something genuine as compensation, that would be a bit unreasonable, wouldn't it?"

"Since you've been hiding in my storage ring, you naturally know how much mockery and humiliation I've suffered over the past three years."

Yao Chen looked at the Xiao Yan before him and said, "Since you have taken me as your master, I will naturally teach you cultivation methods."

"These two cultivation methods are both Yellow-tier low-grade, but there is also a Di-tier low-grade method. You may choose for yourself."

Yao Chen had not yet had the chance to reveal that the Yellow-tier low-grade cultivation method in his hand, the Burning Mantra, possessed the ability to evolve.

Xiao Yan assumed it was truly just an ordinary Yellow-tier cultivation method.

Thus, he immediately said, "Teacher, do you take me for a fool? One is a Yellow-tier method, and the other is a Di-tier method; even a fool would know how to choose, right?"

Without a second thought, Xiao Yan decisively chose the other one, the fire-attribute Di-tier cultivation method.

However, regardless of anything else, since he had possessed Yao Chen's body, he naturally had to seek revenge, especially against his traitorous disciple, Han Feng!

That guy was not only wicked but also incredibly stupid.

He had backstabbed the man who raised him—a peak Nine-Star Dou Zun and the continent's number one alchemist, Yao Chen.

In the end, he only had the strength of a Dou Huang and hid in the Black-Corner Region, worrying every day about being hunted down by Venerable Feng. It was truly pathetic.

After Xiao Yan took the scroll of the Di-tier cultivation method, he couldn't wait to start reading it.

But soon, with a light flick of Yao Chen's hand, the scroll was taken back.

Yao Chen said, "Xiao Yan, you are currently only at the third stage of Dou Qi. As for practicing cultivation methods, wait until you have advanced to a Dou Zhe."

"Don't forget, you have a three-year agreement with that girl, Nalan Yanran."

"Three years pass by in the blink of an eye."

"You must put in more effort than Nalan Yanran if you want to have a chance to defeat her."

"As for the Cloud Mist Sect behind Nalan Yanran, you don't need to worry. To this master, the Cloud Mist Sect and the Pill King Gu He are not even worth a fart," Yao Chen said.

Now that he possessed the cultivation of a Dou Sheng, if he wished, he could completely possess Xiao Yan and flatten the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Wasn't a mere Cloud Mist Sect not worth a fart?

However, after Yao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Yan was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

What kind of background did his teacher have? The Jia Ma Empire's massive power, the super sect, the Cloud Mist Sect!

In his teacher's eyes... it wasn't even worth a fart?

Especially Gu He, who was known as the Pill King in the Jia Ma Empire!

He was also not worth a fart?

While Xiao Yan was shocked, he was naturally curious about Yao Chen's strength before his death, but although he was curious, Yao Chen did not intend to tell him.

Otherwise, it would surely terrify the current Xiao Yan—the cultivation of a Dou Sheng!

It was already the pinnacle beneath the Dou Di.

It was a realm that practitioners living in a small place like the Jia Ma Empire could never even imagine.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's surprised expression and said, "You only need to know that the Dou Qi Continent is vast, and there are many people stronger than Gu He and the Cloud Mist Sect!"

"Once you reach the Dou Zhe stage, I will officially teach you cultivation techniques, Dou Skills, and the art of alchemy, helping you become one of the continent's top powerhouses."

Xiao Yan asked in surprise, "What? Alchemy? Teacher, were you an alchemist when you were alive?"

"Indeed!"

"What rank?"

Yao Chen did not continue, instead saying, "What rank? I can't remember; I've forgotten."

Xiao Yan curled his lip. He always felt that this teacher had quite a few secrets.

But it did not matter. Since he had taken him as his master, Xiao Yan would naturally keep his word and honor him as a father for the rest of his life.

No matter where he went in the future, he would carry his teacher with him.

Although his three years of dissipating Dou Qi and his stagnant strength were all because of his teacher, if he could help him recover his strength and defeat Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan would be absolutely grateful!

"Teacher, what should I do now?" Xiao Yan asked with a serious expression.

[Current Task: Help Xiao Yan improve his strength and achieve his first breakthrough.]

[Task Reward: One White Treasure Chest.]

[Accept task? Please choose.]

Regarding the task that had just been released on the system panel, Yao Chen accepted it immediately.

In other words, as long as he helped Xiao Yan reach the fourth stage of Dou Qi, he would receive a White Treasure Chest as a reward.

Thus, Yao Chen accepted the task.

He looked at the Xiao Yan before him and said, "I can help you refine a medicinal liquid called Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. You must find the medicinal herbs yourself. It will help you improve your strength and achieve a faster cultivation speed than ordinary people."

Yao Chen immediately explained the medicinal herbs required for refining the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid to Xiao Yan.

It took a day or two for Xiao Yan to finish collecting the herbs, for which he even had to borrow money from Xiao Xun'er.

"Teacher, I have finished collecting the herbs you need. Here they are."

Xiao Yan was also very eager to witness how an alchemist actually refined pills.

Just how capable was this teacher of his?
