Ding, Obtained Bone Chilling Flame (Incomplete)

Beside them, Xiao Yan watched as Xiao Yu and Medicine Elder finalized Xiao Yu's decision to travel abroad. He could not hide the disappointment on his face.

Over the past year, he and his senior brother had spent every day together, practicing Dou Techniques with one another. His senior brother had also always looked out for him and yielded to him. Xiao Yan's gratitude toward Xiao Yu went without saying.

So, knowing that they had no idea when they would meet again after this, he could not help feeling somewhat downcast.

Xiao Yu naturally noticed Xiao Yan's disappointment as well.

He punched Xiao Yan on the shoulder and smiled. "Junior Brother, don't be like this."

"A real man's future lies in reaching for the moon beyond the heavens and sailing the sea of stars. A brief parting will only lead to our reunion in the near future."

"When that time comes, the two of us can have a proper fight again. Don't disappoint your senior brother."

"Besides, when the time comes for the Three-Year Agreement, your senior brother will definitely go to the Misty Cloud Sect to back you up. I also believe that by then, my junior brother will shine far brighter than some mere Nalan Yanran."

Medicine Elder watched the two of them with a smile, then waved for them to quiet down. "Yu'er, since you have already made up your mind to leave, your master also has something to give you."

With that, he gestured for Xiao Yu to step forward.

Medicine Elder looked at Xiao Yu before him and gave a mysterious smile. Then, he reached out and placed a hand on Xiao Yu's head.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to say something, he suddenly felt a pure spiritual force slowly flow into his mind.

"Relax. This contains your master's lifelong conclusions on alchemy, as well as some cultivation insights regarding Dou Techniques and cultivation methods. How much you can accept depends on yourself."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

After a long while, Xiao Yu opened his eyes to see Medicine Elder looking extremely weak. His figure had become even more ethereal. He had never imagined that Medicine Elder would perform an empowerment for him, passing all of his experience, along with certain prescriptions and Dou Techniques, to him.

In his soul-body state, injecting so much soul power had left him even weaker.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yu knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Medicine Elder three times. His gratitude was beyond words.

Medicine Elder looked at Xiao Yu kneeling before him, his eyes full of affection. "Yu'er, you must be more careful on the road ahead, now that you will be alone. Your master has sealed the memories in your mind. Only when your realm reaches the required level will they be unsealed. Otherwise, injecting so many memories at once would have a harmful effect on your soul."

"You need not worry about your master either. Though I am somewhat weakened, I am not seriously harmed."

As he spoke, he took a Storage Ring from his robes and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"It contains some of my collections, including a cauldron and medicinal ingredients for alchemy, as well as some healing pills."

Xiao Yu accepted the Storage Ring Medicine Elder handed him, then respectfully bowed to him again. He exchanged a smile with Xiao Yan, slowly turned around, and walked toward the outskirts of the Xiao Clan.

Within a forest outside Wutan City, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, staring blankly at the system panel.

Xiao Yu looked at the items on the panel and noticed an additional item called Pure Soul Experience. Thinking of a possibility, he immediately asked the system, "Century Egg, what does Pure Soul Experience mean?"

"Pure Soul Experience means that the host can perfectly absorb the soul power within it and comprehend the soul fragments it contains," the system's voice replied.

Upon hearing the system's answer, Xiao Yu said excitedly, "Does that mean I can absorb all the soul power Medicine Elder left behind and completely learn the understanding of alchemy contained within it?"

One had to know that these were Medicine Elder's lifelong insights into alchemy. Medicine Elder had once stood at the peak of an eighth-rank alchemist. If he could absorb it all, would that not mean he could directly reach Medicine Elder's peak level and become a peak eighth-rank alchemist?

Just as Xiao Yu was indulging in this fantasy, the system suddenly said, "That is theoretically correct, but the host's current soul cannot absorb all of the soul power. Otherwise, the host's soul will be burst apart."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu gradually calmed down. Indeed, if he could become an eighth-rank alchemist so easily, then this journey through Battle Through the Heavens would be far too easy.

He slowly exhaled, suppressing the excitement in his heart. Only then did Xiao Yu open the quest to leave Wutan City and choose to claim the reward.

"Ding, the host has moved beyond Xiao Yan's range of influence and left Wutan City. Obtained one Soul Tempering."

"Ding, obtained reward: Bone Chilling Flame (Incomplete)."

"Ding, obtained Experience +100."

"Ding, obtained Dou Qi Experience +200."

"Ding, obtained Dou Qi Experience +200."

The moment he heard Soul Tempering, Xiao Yu was overjoyed. The system had already granted him the talent of an alchemist, and Medicine Elder had also imparted his alchemical insights to him. If his soul power could be improved, it would certainly help him better absorb the soul power Medicine Elder had left behind.

What surprised him even more was that he had obtained the incomplete Bone Chilling Flame. Though it was incomplete, it was still a Heavenly Flame—the Bone Chilling Flame ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yu chose to begin receiving Soul Tempering.

However, before Xiao Yu could react, he felt a pure soul force continuously pour into his mind.

As the pure soul power elevated Xiao Yu's soul, the Dou Qi rewarded by the system was also improving his body.

His strength as a one-star Dou Zhe gradually rose, and his aura rapidly grew stronger.

Before long, the aura around Xiao Yu slowly settled.

Xiao Yu, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. A sharp gleam flashed through their depths.

As he examined his current body and carefully sensed the abundant Dou Qi within him, Xiao Yu was immediately thrilled.

Others might not know how long it would take to break through a single rank, but with the system's help, every breakthrough came easily to him. As long as he followed the quests, he would certainly reach even higher realms.

This also filled Xiao Yu with greater confidence for the ten-year deadline.
