Xiao Yi Xian Breaks Through, the Third Trait
"Master Frank?"
"Is it you?"
Qin Yu and Frank spoke at the same time.
"I never expected to meet you two here."
Frank smiled, his gaze falling on Qin Yu as he looked him up and down.
"Hiss..."
He remembered that the last time he saw this young man was more than a month ago, when the young man was still Nine-Star Battle Master.
He advanced to the Da Dou Shi level in just over a month?
And this girl, her cultivation level actually soared to Nine-Star Dou Practitioner in just over a month?!
What kind of monster is this?!
"Hey? Young man, why do I feel like there's something familiar about you?"
Just then, the golden retriever next to Frank came over, his small eyes narrowed into slits as he observed Qin Yu.
"Oh, this is Master Otto, my colleague."
Frank then remembered to introduce the man's identity to Qin Yu and the other man.
Hmm, this "Bishop"... is rather short.
"Well, it's probably because I bought that Green Wood Mysterious Spirit Pill."
"Did you buy it?"
Frank and Otto spoke at the same time.
They both came to the Imperial Capital, one for their annual work report and the other to make a little extra money on the side.
The Green Wood Mysterious Spirit Pill fetched a high price of 900,000 gold coins, making Otto extremely happy.
According to his estimate, this grade-four pill would sell for about 700,000 gold coins.
"Hmm, it's somewhat useful to me."
Qin Yu nodded. Frank and Otto were even more confused. How effective could the Green Wood Mysterious Spirit Pill be for a cultivator of Earth-Attribute Battle Qi?
"Gentlemen, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
The group parted ways, but Frank and Otto remained silent, gazing at Qin Yu's retreating figure.
"Could it be that he broke through because of that pill I used?"
After a long while, Otto swallowed hard and guessed.
"Possibly."
"... What a freak! He actually managed to break through using my Wood Attribute pills to cultivate Earth-Attribute Battle Qi."
Frank glanced at him and dropped another bombshell:
"Not only is he a freak, but that girl is no ordinary person either. In just over a month, she has soared from Five-Star Dou Practitioner to Nine-Star Dou Practitioner."
"Stealing the young master?!"
Seeing Otto's dumbfounded expression, Frank chuckled:
"Didn't you recently take on a disciple with 'exceptionally talented' abilities? What's the big deal?"
Frank emphasized the words "exceptionally talented," a victorious smile spreading across his face.
"I accept disciples to teach them Alchemy, not to assess their talent for cultivation."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
The two men, whose combined age was nearly a hundred, walked along like sworn enemies, constantly badmouthing each other.
"Qin Yu! This is delicious!"
The night market in the Imperial Capital had only been open for a short time when Xiao Yi Xian transformed into a gluttonous girl, plunging headlong into it and starting to devour the food like crazy, occasionally turning back to urge Qin Yu to hurry up.
Qin Yu walked behind, carrying several oil paper packets in her hands. There was just enough of each kind left, just enough for her to eat a few bites before moving on to the next stall.
He looked down at his hands, which were covered in a mess, and felt both amused and exasperated.
At the trade fair a few days ago, Xiao Yi Xian exchanged some of the medicinal herbs she had collected for quite a few things, and now her purse is bulging.
After turning two corners, the lights ahead gradually thinned out, and Xiao Yi Xian's steps suddenly froze on the spot.
"What, you want to go back?"
As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, her body stiffened abruptly, and the Dou Qi within her body seemed to be stirred by something, beginning to flow uncontrollably at an accelerated pace.
She had never felt this way before, but her instincts told her that this was not Poison Body reaction.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yu realized something and was about to speak when Xiao Yi Xian Qin Yu grabbed his wrist and turned to run wildly towards the hotel.
Qin Yu was dragged along by her for a couple of steps. He scanned her body with his senses and instantly understood.
This girl, of all people, decided to push her boundaries while shopping.
When she returned to the hotel, Xiao Yi Xian's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and the Dou Qi within her body was surging more and more violently, like a wild beast locked in a cage, desperately trying to break free of its restraints.
She kicked open the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and looked up to meet Qin Yu's gaze.
Qin Yu instantly understood her meaning, placed a hand on her back, and channeled the wood energy through his palm, seeping into her body.
However, this wood energy wasn't meant to suppress her Poison Body. After all, with her current strength in Poison Dou Qi, forcibly suppressing it would only hinder the breakthrough process.
However, if the toxins become agitated during her breakthrough, the wood energy can block the most intense wave and alleviate some of her pain.
Xiao Yi Xian felt the warmth and wood energy of the hand behind her, her tense shoulders relaxed slightly, she closed her eyes, and began her breakthrough.
As Qin Yu watched the fluctuations of Dou Qi within Xiao Yi Xian's body gradually rise, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Just over two months ago, Xiao Yi Xian was only a Two-Star Fighter, but now she's about to break through to Battle Master.
Even with controlled poison intake, the cultivation speed of the Woeful Poison Body is indeed extremely abnormal.
In terms of talent in cultivation, compared to someone with a naturally gifted physique like Xiao Yi Xian, he certainly can't be considered a genius.
However, on the other hand, cultivation is never just about talent.
Qin Yu calmed himself down, summoned the system panel that hadn't been used in a long time, and extracted his third entry.
[Current draw probability: Gold affix 72% (after comparison, it was found that the previous typo was found and has been corrected), other affixes 28%]
[If you obtain a gold-tier affix this time, the chance of obtaining a gold-tier affix increases by 6% for each subsequent star breakthrough; otherwise, the chance remains the same.]
A familiar blue light screen unfolded in my mind, with three differently colored entries floating in the void, slowly rotating.
[Golden Kidney Warrior (?): You really don't want it? You really want it, don't you? You'll take this one!]
[Your Peach Blossom Eyes (blue): Your eyes and brows possess an innate allure. From a naive young girl to a sophisticated lady, no one can resist your gaze. However, be careful; too much romantic luck can sometimes be a source of trouble.]
[Innate Treasure-Seeking Body (Gold): Possesses an extremely strong ability to sense all kinds of Heavenly Treasures and spiritual treasures. Can intuitively pinpoint the approximate location of treasures. The stronger the soul power, the wider the range of perception.]
They've arrived.
Qin Yu's gaze lingered on the [Golden Kidney Warrior] for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings; this was the third time this phrase had appeared, and his perseverance was truly admirable.
If you don't get a suitable keyword next time, it's your turn!
Qin Yu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and gently tapped the third entry in the void.
If there are gold-level attributes, then gold-level attributes should be the priority.
Moreover, this is Innate Treasure-Seeking Body! The first two attributes are not bad, but...
Let's choose again when we have another chance.
The next moment, a warm power quietly took root deep in his soul, as if an invisible antenna had been erected.
