Eight Extremes Collapse

Looking at the jade bottle filled with green spirit liquid before him, Xiao Yang knew what it was without Xiao Yan needing to explain.

After all, it could be said to be the first elixir to appear in the original story.

As Xiao Yang focused on the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid, its information appeared before him.

[Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid: Second-Grade Elixir. After use during the Dou Qi stage, the experience gained through self-cultivation for two months will be five times the original amount. During the Dou Zhe stage, experience gained through self-cultivation for one month will be doubled.]

Before Xiao Yang could speak, Xiao Yan continued.

"I got lucky and was accepted as a disciple by an alchemist."

"This was given to me by my teacher."

At that, Xiao Yan seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly added,

"I already have enough for myself. This bottle is extra, so Brother Yang should use it."

Looking at the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid before him and Xiao Yan's sincere expression, Xiao Yang did not refuse and directly accepted the bottle.

"Since that's the case, I'll accept it."

"This bottle of Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid must be worth a lot, right?"

"Since I'm accepting this bottle, you don't need to repay the money you borrowed from me."

Xiao Yan was just about to say something when Xiao Yang continued.

"All right, it's settled."

"Otherwise, I won't accept this bottle of Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid."

Seeing how resolute Xiao Yang was, Xiao Yan could only agree helplessly.

"If you don't have enough money later, you can come find me. I may not have much else, but I do have plenty of gold coins."

To Xiao Yang, gold coins were not especially important. What he cared about more were Universal Experience and shop points.

If he could use gold coins to buy experience and shop points, Xiao Yang would consider that an absolute steal.

"Okay, Brother Yang."

Xiao Yan agreed on the surface, but that was not what he was thinking.

Xiao Yang had given him quite a bit of money, enough to buy the ingredients for three or four portions of Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid.

Just like in the original story, he planned to auction off one bottle of Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid, then use the proceeds to buy ingredients.

After chatting for a while longer, Xiao Yan reached into his pocket and took out a black scroll.

"Brother Yang, this is a battle technique I obtained by chance. I've seen that you've always been cultivating the Mountain-Splitting Fist. In the future, you can replace it with this."

"I found this battle technique inside a piece of iron at the market. I copied it onto this scroll."

"This battle technique is called Eight Extremes Collapse. It's a Black Tier High-Grade Battle Technique!"

Xiao Yan handed the scroll to Xiao Yang.

In order to let Xiao Yang accept the battle technique without feeling burdened, he did not mention Medicine Elder's existence. He only said that he had obtained it himself, rather than that it had been given to him by his teacher.

Looking at the information on the black scroll before him, Xiao Yang could not help falling silent.

[Eight Extremes Collapse: Black Tier High-Grade Battle Technique. At mastery, it rivals an Earth Tier battle technique!

Base Enhancement: +320%

Shop Points Required to Upgrade: 3,500,000]

Well, damn. He had only just obtained Snow-Treading Without a Trace from Xun'er, and now Xiao Yan was giving him the Eight Extremes Collapse that even the Flame Emperor would use in the future.

Shouldn't he, the transmigrator, have been the one playing nanny?

How had he become the one living off others instead?!

Although Xiao Yang was full of question marks, he still accepted the battle technique.

What he lacked most right now was a good offensive battle technique.

He had originally been considering upgrading the Mountain-Splitting Fist to Low Black Tier later, but Xiao Yan had unexpectedly brought out Eight Extremes Collapse instead.

This directly saved Xiao Yang one hundred thousand points.

"We're family, so I won't stand on ceremony."

"If you need anything in the future, come find me anytime!"

Xiao Yang silently remembered this matter.

Xiao Yan was giving him a battle technique now, so Xiao Yang planned to repay him with a Heavenly Flame someday!

Seeing Xiao Yang accept the battle technique, Xiao Yan also let out a sigh of relief.

As though he were afraid Xiao Yang might change his mind, he immediately bade him farewell.

"I mainly came to see Brother Yang for these two matters. Now that they're done, I'll head back and cultivate first."

After saying that, Xiao Yan got up and left without waiting for Xiao Yang to ask him to stay.

Watching Xiao Yan's departing back, Xiao Yang could not help feeling both amused and helpless.

He shook his head, closed the door, and returned to his room.

Xiao Yang took out the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid Xiao Yan had just given him and selected Use.

The next moment, he discovered an extra line of small text after his cultivation level on the panel.

[Cultivation: Dou Qi, Ninth Stage (5+/1000) (Cultivation Efficiency +400%, 59:23:59:58)]

The timer was still continuously counting down.

Not wanting to waste any time, Xiao Yang hurriedly began cultivating.

After Xiao Yan returned to his small courtyard, he shut his room door.

Only after confirming that no one was nearby did he softly speak to his ring.

"Teacher, are you sure there's no problem with Brother Yang's cultivation rising so much all at once?"

A figure flew out of the Bone Flame Ring. It was Medicine Elder.

Medicine Elder's face was also full of confusion at that moment.

"I'm certain that his foundation has absolutely no problems."

As he spoke, Medicine Elder's expression turned strange.

"In fact, I feel that his foundation is even more stable than yours, even though you've rebuilt your cultivation!"

He could not understand why Xiao Yang could improve so quickly while keeping such a stable foundation.

It was as if he had cultivated at the ninth stage of Dou Qi for hundreds or even thousands of years!

Xiao Yan looked at Medicine Elder in confusion.

"Could Brother Yang have taken some kind of elixir that can be used during the Dou Qi stage?"

"But didn't you say that elixirs that increase cultivation can't be used during the Dou Qi stage?"

"Especially ones taken orally!"

Medicine Elder was also somewhat hesitant.

Because he did not know what other method could allow someone to rise two minor realms in a single day during the Dou Qi stage without using elixirs.

"I can't be sure either. Maybe some ninth-grade alchemist developed such a heaven-defying elixir, and that kid happened to obtain it by accident."

As he spoke, Medicine Elder suddenly thought of the young girl who had always been by Xiao Yang's side, and another guess immediately arose in his heart.

However, he did not voice his speculation.

"Forget it. As long as we've confirmed that Brother Yang's foundation is fine."

Since he had not gotten an answer, Xiao Yan could not be bothered to think further.

He stopped discussing the matter, took out the wooden tub and water he had prepared earlier, dripped the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid into it, and began cultivating.

Watching Xiao Yan cultivate, Medicine Elder returned to the Bone Flame Ring and began trying to deduce an elixir that could directly increase cultivation during the Dou Qi stage.

Xiao Yang did not know about the conversation between master and disciple. Otherwise, he might have said,

"Other people raise their cultivation through their own hard work, leaving it flimsy and unstable!"

"But I use the system to add points, improving step by step!"

"The difference is obvious!"

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

For the past half month, Xiao Yang had remained in his room cultivating.

After all, with the effects of the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid, his cultivation speed was five times faster than before!

In just over half a month, he had pushed his experience bar forward by one-fifth!

[Cultivation: Dou Qi, Ninth Stage (217+/1000) (Cultivation Efficiency +400%, 40:13:39:18)]
