Breaking Through to Dou Zhe

Time flies, spring and autumn come and go. Before they knew it, more than half a year had passed since Xiao Yan enrolled in the Jia Nan Academy.

Even though more than half a year has passed, Xiao Yan still vividly remembers his enrollment and subsequent entry into the Jia Nan Academy.

After all, his and Xun'er's talents were truly astonishing.

Even now, countless students from the Outer Academy Jia Nan Academy still look at them with curiosity and envy.

The gap between people is truly outrageous. What they cultivated for over ten years to reach, others achieved in just a few years.

This is truly a case of comparing yourself to others and feeling utterly miserable.

After a flood of memories washed over Xiao Yan, he wiped the ancient ring that contained the soul of Medicine Elder for some time, and put it on the index finger of his right hand.

After glancing at it briefly, Xiao Yan smiled inwardly, raised his hand and tapped the Storage Ring on his left hand, taking out a rather exquisite Ancient Jade box.

I remember during the second simulation, there were very few people in the Xiao Clan who possessed Storage Ring; only Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder each had one.

However, when Xiao Yan left the Xiao Clan, he received a Storage Ring to hold the things he needed to take with him.

Although it would be somewhat difficult to use due to the lack of breakthrough to the Dou Zhe, it still demonstrates the tremendous changes in the Xiao Clan.

"It's time to use this." Xiao Yan murmured, pouring out a longan-sized pill that was emerald green with a light blue tinge from the jade bottle.

It is Tier 4 Pill that can help those who possess Dou Qi to condense Dou Qi Whirl to a 100% degree, Qi Gathering Powder.

However, this was not provided by the Xiao Clan, but was a gift from Great Elder Su Qian of the Jia Nan Academy.

Because Xiao Yan and his group were all somewhat special, especially Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's extraordinary talents, they not only met Hu Gan in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, but also met Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Inner Academy, not long after arriving.

After being amazed for a long time, Su Qian gave Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er each a Tier 4 Pill Qi Gathering Powder.

Not only can it save a considerable amount of training time, but it can also ensure that the Dou Qi Whirl is 100% condensed.

One Qi Gathering Powder is already quite valuable, but Su Qian offered two, which is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, showing his extreme generosity.

Not only in terms of elixirs, Jia Nan Academy also offers excellent benefits in other aspects.

Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and Lin Shuiyao lived in a secluded pavilion in the Outer Academy, which was much better than the one they lived in at the Xiao Clan.

The reason it's called the Outer Academy isn't because the Jia Nan Academy's leadership is stubborn and corrupt.

However, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er are still young and have many basic things to learn.

If one focuses solely on cultivation and becomes a dull, unproductive person who only knows how to cultivate, that would be undesirable.

From the simulation, Xiao Yan also learned that Jia Nan Academy was far more than just good; it was practically a "Canaan Benevolent Hall" and a "Canaan Sacred Academy."

Without any prior agreement with the Jia Nan Academy, he successfully fused with the Fallen Heart Flame that maintained the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower's effects, yet he faced no punishment or accountability from the Jia Nan Academy afterward.

Xiao Yan now knows that with the strength of the Jia Nan Academy, killing him with a single slap and then putting the Fallen Heart Flame back to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower would be an easy thing to do.

But no, it didn't.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan learned in the latest simulation that deep within the Magma World at the bottom of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, there is a nascent Fallen Heart Flame.

The Jia Nan Academy will be able to cultivate this nascent Fallen Heart Flame and establish a close relationship with it, which is much safer than keeping the mature and terrifying Great Fallen Heart Flame inside.

However, that Magma World is extremely strange, inhabited by a group of powerful Flame Lizardman. To obtain that small Heavenly Flames, one must possess great strength.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan put the Qi Gathering Powder into his mouth, his dark and determined eyes slowly closing. "Breakthrough, Dou Zhe!"

Because they were both in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, they spent much more time together. Xiao Xun'er had taken the Qi Gathering Powder much earlier than him and became a Dou Zhe.

Although Xiao Yan changed his cultivation strategy, no longer focusing solely on physical fitness but instead concentrating on cultivating Dou Qi and maximizing his speed, he still couldn't win.

As soon as the Qi Gathering Powder entered Xiao Yan's mouth, a faint coolness spread through his mouth. A moment later, a warm, pure energy rushed directly into his body from his mouth.

The sheer magnitude of this energy far surpasses that of the crudely crafted Spirit-Gathering Grass Pills Xiao Yan produced, but for the Medicine Spirit Sacred Body, it was merely the last drop of water to fill a water tank.

Xiao Yan's face remained calm as he refined the bursts of pure green energy surging from his body, just as he always did.

Using the Three-Origin Circulation Method, which is far more advanced than ordinary methods of cultivating Dou Qi, and with Xiao Yan's Medicine Spirit Sacred Body, he absorbed the medicinal power extremely quickly. After a short while, Xiao Yan discovered that the Dou Qi in his body had expanded to a critical point where it could not be increased any further.

Following the method of condensing Dou Qi Whirl that he had learned, Xiao Yan suddenly changed his hand seals, instantly compressing the vast Dou Qi within his body towards his lower abdomen.

With the Medicine Spirit Sacred Body, the medicinal power of the Primordial Origin Pill within Xiao Yan's body has been fully unleashed.

Now, he is not only extremely suited for cultivation, with resilient meridians, but his soul power is also incredibly strong.

With a thought, Xiao Yan's soul power was also mobilized, frantically compressing his Dou Qi.

Despite some resistance, the difference between the two was too great. After a brief contact, the immense Dou Qi was compressed to the size of a palm.

Xiao Yan was not satisfied with that. He compressed it again, and with a hissing sound, the palm-sized ball of milky-white Dou Qi continued to shrink...

Soon, a milky-white vortex, resembling a nebula, appeared inside Xiao Yan's lower abdomen and began to rotate slowly.

The moment Xiao Yan became Dou Zhe, the ancient black ring on his hand glowed eerily.

In an instant, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi Whirl deflated rapidly, like a punctured balloon...

Xiao Yan's Dou Qi Whirl condensed very smoothly and disappeared very quickly.

Sensing the dissipation of the Dou Qi Whirl within his body, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, got up, and walked out of the room.

In the living room, Lin Shuiyao, who had been waiting for some time, was delighted to see Xiao Yan come out so quickly. She said, "Becoming Dou Zhe means you can start cultivating techniques. Hu Gan gave me a Low Earth Tier fire-attribute technique for you to cultivate."

As she spoke, a crimson scroll appeared in Lin Shuiyao's hand.

Now, she is extremely satisfied with the Jia Nan Academy.

Not only did he acquire some decent Dou Technique, but his son is now able to cultivate advanced techniques.

A cultivation technique at the Earth Tier is worth at least several million gold coins.

Moreover, acquiring a cultivation technique with suitable attributes is something that cannot be done in a short time, even with money.

Just then, Lin Shuiyao carefully examined Xiao Yan, her expression suddenly changing. "Hmm? Your aura..."
