Practicing together again
"Qing Lin! I'm here." Xiao Yan appeared silently and called out to Qing Lin.
Qing Lin wore a light black cultivation robe, but the simple black perfectly outlined her Qing Lin waist, shapely hips, and proud breasts. Dou Sheng-level Dou Qi constantly circulated around Qing Lin's body, making her a stunningly beautiful war goddess!
"Young Master, Yao Lao finished with his work?" Qing Lin asked, not without a hint of teasing.
"It's alright, I'll talk to them again next time I have the chance."
Xiao Yan nodded with a smile. After he finished refining the Ninth-Grade Mystic Pill, he was dragged away by the group of Huo Zhen -Ninth-grade Alchemist. They skipped over Xiao Yan's original summary of experience and steps, and asked him about everything in great detail, including why he started refining, what his initial goal was, and what changes occurred in the flame, temperature, soul, cauldron, and pill during the refining process. They asked about everything without missing a beat.
Xiao Yan naturally understood their intentions; they all wanted to take advantage of this momentum to see if they could find an opportunity to break through to become Ninth-Grade Mystic Pill Alchemist.
So Xiao Yan also revealed all his experience. After he finished speaking, all the Alchemist in the Origin Return Manor, except for Yao Lao, were both envious and jealous of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan wasn't due to any significant advantage he had over them in the core area of alchemy. What truly set him apart was his own strength, the Heavenly Flames he possessed, and his Soul Power.
Because these three aspects are so strong, they are enough to make him surpass all current Alchemist. Even Yao Dan, the Yao Clan Chief, who is also Ninth-Grade Mystic Pill Alchemist, does not have Xiao Yan's conditions. Xiao Yan even said at the time that if he could advance to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he would have the opportunity to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill Core. If he were Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, he would be almost certain that he could refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill.
Upon hearing this news, everyone unreasonably kicked Xiao Yan out.
In their words, Xiao Yan was really talking without understanding the difficulties. After all, for them, alchemy was easy to talk about, but personal strength was a real painstaking process that required slow and steady progress. It was common for them to not be able to advance for hundreds of years.
Of course, Xiao Yan himself was well aware of the predicament of Alchemist. Being like him was certainly a good thing, but only he knew what he had sacrificed along the way. Every major advancement in strength, every extraordinary opportunity, was accompanied by the danger to his life. His great progress in strength was not only due to his own initiative; to a considerable extent, Xiao Yan was passive in the process.
However, Xiao Yan quickly put these thoughts aside; now was the time for him to practice his Dou Technique.
"Qing Lin, I must thank you. I am truly very satisfied with the power of the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath!"
The Dou Technique that Xiao Yan used to shatter all the Black Demon Lightning was the core signature ability of the Yellow Springs Three Absolutes — Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath.
"Young Master, this ability is truly a perfect match for you. Qing Lin has cultivated for so long, yet he has only barely reached the Great Completion stage. Ultimately, it still requires Emperor Realm Soul; otherwise, I think it would be very difficult for you to successfully learn it in just one month."
Xiao Yan nodded, knowing that Qing Lin was right. Qing Lin felt that this Dou Technique was very suitable for her, so after absorbing the essence of the Huang Quan and realizing that she could not use it to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Qing Lin also specially learned the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath. Finally, after mastering it, Qing Lin, relying on her familiarity with it, copied it again for Xiao Yan.
After obtaining it, Xiao Yan didn't hold back. He cultivated on his own while also seeking guidance from Qing Lin at crucial junctures. Relying on the unfathomable depths of his Emperor Realm Soul, Xiao Yan mastered the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath within a month. In fact, Xiao Yan's progress in just one month surpassed that of Qing Lin. Qing Lin wasn't worried at all; instead, she was happy for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan then said, "The Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath is fine, and I hope the Great Hua Sun-Moon Rotation will also be fine."
"Young Master, I had some thoughts about this ability while I was in the Nine Netherworld Yellow Spring. Please take a look before we practice together."
After speaking, Qing Lin directly presented a jade slip. Xiao Yan looked at Qing Lin with some guilt. He was focused on improving his own strength, while Qing Lin was quietly doing these things all by herself. It was true that he benefited, but doing so would definitely affect Qing Lin's own progress in strength.
Qing Lin immediately guessed what Xiao Yan Xiao Yan going to say from his gaze, and nudged his arm. "Alright, young master, hurry up, time waits for no one."
Faced with Qing Lin's attempt to deceive him, Xiao Yan had no choice but to focus his mind. With his current control over his Emperor Realm Soul, he could imprint all the contents of the jade slip into his mind in just a few breaths.
Qing Lin's conception of this Combined Attack Technique was very comprehensive. Due to her insufficient strength, there were some things Qing Lin couldn't accurately judge, so she hypothesized all possible scenarios. She even recorded a comparison of Xiao Yan and herself at different strength levels. Xiao Yan was quite moved by this; this small jade slip was equivalent to Qing Lin practicing this Combined Attack Technique countless times on her own. Now the theory was quite complete; all that was needed was for Xiao Yan and Qing Lin to cooperate.
"I originally thought I would take the lead so that the young master could have an easier time, but it seems that the young master's improvement speed has far exceeded my expectations."
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Now that I possess Emperor Realm Soul, I'll take care of spatial control. Qing Lin, you just need to release your power at your own comfortable pace!"
At this moment, Qing Lin didn't stand on ceremony. She simply stood there, focused, and told Xiao Yan that she was ready.
Xiao Yan chuckled and muttered to himself, "Alright, let me see the true power of this Combined Attack Technique!"
Ming Mei's Combined Attack Technique looks complex, but it's essentially no different from ordinary mid-level or High Heaven Class Dou Qi. The biggest difference is that this ability is designed to fuse two completely different forces, Yin and Yang, in an attack. Ensuring that the two are in harmony and do not interfere with each other is the most important challenge. After all, releasing Dou Qi is incredibly smooth for one person, but there are many more things to consider when two people are doing it together.
Ming Mei herself never truly succeeded in unleashing this Dou Technique in her entire life because, although she was able to occupy the Yin position, she did not have a sufficiently powerful pure Yang opponent to oppose her.
