A Sixth-grade Alchemist, and a Dou Zong expert!
Either one alone was enough to leave Teng Shan, Hai Bodong, and everyone else in the Mittel Family utterly shaken.
Who would have thought that Mr. Yao was a Sixth-grade Alchemist and a Dou Zong expert?
Teng Shan had already made up his mind. No matter the cost, the Mittel Family had to win over this Dou Zong expert and Sixth-grade Alchemist.
It would bring endless benefits to the future of the Mittel Family.
Hai Bodong's expression had grown grave as well.
Many years ago, before he fought Medusa and had his Dou Emperor strength sealed away,
he had been a famous figure in the Jia Ma Empire, the Ice Emperor, a Dou Emperor.
Back then, Hai Bodong had been proud and utterly invincible.
But a Dou Zong expert was still beyond anything he had ever dared imagine!
It was a realm he had never thought he might one day reach!
Meanwhile, in Wutan City, Yao Chen spent the next few days watching Xiao Yan cultivate and helping him raise his Dou Qi level.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan finally broke through the Ninth Stage Dou Qi, successfully condensed a Dou Qi Vortex, and advanced to the strength of a Dou Zhe.
In the back mountains of the Xiao Clan,
Xiao Yan felt his strength surge. He had finally reached the Dou Zhe realm.
Overjoyed, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen's spiritual body and said,
"Teacher, I never imagined my cultivation would improve so quickly with your help."
"Since I became your disciple, not much time has passed at all."
"And yet I've already reached the strength of a Dou Zhe. I owe it all to your help, Teacher!"
Xiao Yan spoke with excitement and firm resolve.
"Teacher, I'll make sure to refine a body for you someday and bring you back to life."
"Also, whoever did this to you, I'll make them pay. I'll see that justice is done for you, Teacher."
Yao Chen looked at the system panel. There were two Revival Coins in his inventory.
But to come back to life, he needed a hundred Revival Coins to escape his spiritual-body state and reconstruct his physical body.
And obtaining Revival Coins was no easy matter.
They could be randomly drawn from treasure chests, but the odds were low.
Still, the higher the grade of the treasure chest, the better the chance of drawing a Revival Coin.
Yao Chen studied the system panel.
Just then, the system's mission-reward panel appeared before him.
[Current Mission: Help your disciple, Xiao Yan, reach the strength of a Dou Zhe.]
[Mission complete. Since the mission was completed well and Xiao Yan is extremely satisfied with his host, a critical bonus reward has been triggered: 150 Alchemy Proficiency, 30 points, and a 100-point increase in Flame Control.]
Although he had gained 150 Alchemy Proficiency,
he was still a long way from reaching the Ninth-grade Alchemist rank.
Yao Chen also reviewed the other rewards on the system's status panel.
Then he closed the panel and focused on the reality before him.
Several hours passed.
Xiao Yan stopped cultivating and decided to rest for a while. Yao Chen took the opportunity to look over the missions the system had issued earlier, which he had yet to complete.
[Current Mission: Reveal your Dou Zong strength and make Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's leader, admire you.]
[Current Mission: Sell a Rank 6 pill.]
[Current Mission Progress: Incomplete.]
The Misty Cloud Sect's leader, Yun Yun, and Nalan Yanran had already left the sect.
They had now arrived in Wutan City.
After entering the city, Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun and asked, "Teacher, what do you plan to do when we meet Mr. Yao?"
"A Dou Zong expert like him, who's also a Sixth-grade Alchemist, is probably extremely arrogant in both temperament and manner."
"Though he certainly has the strength and the right to be arrogant."
Yun Yun's expression was grave.
She said nothing, offering no answer to Nalan Yanran's question.
All Yun Yun could think was that a Dou Zong expert and Sixth-grade Alchemist had appeared in the Jia Ma Empire. As the Misty Cloud Sect's leader, she had to do everything she could to build a good relationship with Mr. Yao.
Their sect's future depended on it.
Winning the favor of a Dou Zong expert
would be worth far more than acquiring any number of high-grade Dou Techniques or cultivation manuals!
Besides Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, Pill King Gu He was also eager to seek Mr. Yao's advice on alchemy and find out how his own skills compared.
As an honorary elder of the Misty Cloud Sect and a Sixth-grade Alchemist, he also wanted to pay Yao Chen a visit.
So he came to the Miteer Auction House in Wutan City with Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran.
Ya Fei stood before them in a red qipao.
Before Yun Yun could speak, Nalan Yanran earnestly introduced her.
"Sister Ya Fei, this is my teacher, the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and a Dou Emperor expert," Nalan Yanran explained.
Ya Fei naturally knew of Yun Yun.
After all, she was one of the Ten Great Experts of the Jia Ma Empire and the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Yun Yun held an extraordinary position in the Jia Ma Empire.
What Ya Fei hadn't expected was that their little Wutan City would draw not only Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's leader, but also Pill King Gu He, a Sixth-grade Alchemist.
Even before they said a word, Ya Fei knew exactly what they wanted.
They had almost certainly come for Mr. Yao and wanted to meet him.
"All I can say is that I'll do my best to arrange it," Ya Fei replied. "If Mr. Yao doesn't want to see you, then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
"I've just obtained quite a few ingredients for Rank 6 pills from the family. I'm going to deliver them to Mr. Yao."
"Excuse me for a moment."
After speaking, Ya Fei greeted Yun Yun and the others.
Then she left to see Yao Chen.
Half an hour later, Ya Fei met Yao Chen at the agreed-upon place and handed him a Storage Ring.
"Mr. Yao, the ingredients you need are stored in this ring."
"Even for the Miteer Auction House, gathering all these ingredients was no easy task."
"Fortunately, we had the support of the Mittel Family. Otherwise, with only my own efforts, who knows how long it would have taken me to gather them all."
After taking the ingredients, Yao Chen went somewhere quiet.
Then he began refining the Sixth-Grade Sect-Breaking Pill.
As its name suggested, the Sect-Breaking Pill could help a nine-star peak Dou Emperor break through the bottleneck and reach the Dou Zong realm.
Once the pill went on sale, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire.
