Seven-Star Dou Practitioner and the Dou Practitioner Pill

Xiao Yang knew that reaching the rank of a third-grade alchemist in a short time would still be quite difficult.

That required a hundred thousand experience points!

So, for the time being, he did not plan to invest his experience in alchemy.

Xiao Yang looked at his game panel, considered it for a moment, then invested all six thousand experience points into his cultivation at once.

The next moment, the energy of heaven and earth around him instantly surged into Xiao Yang's body.

Countless streams of energy flowed through his meridians and into his dantian.

His Dou Qi vortex began spinning madly.

After countless amounts of heaven and earth energy poured in, the Dou Qi vortex transformed it all into red Dou Qi.

Xiao Yang's aura gradually rose as well.

Two-Star Fighter...

Three-Star Fighter...

Four-Star Fighter...

Just like that, Xiao Yang's cultivation rose all the way to the Seven-Star Dou Practitioner level before the surrounding heaven and earth energy slowly dispersed.

Fortunately, Xiao Yang lived in a relatively secluded place, with practically no one around him.

Otherwise, anyone nearby who witnessed that scene would have been utterly shocked.

After all, that was the amount of heaven and earth energy required to break through six stars of cultivation in one go.

Even breaking through to Dou Master might not have caused such a huge commotion.

Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yang's eyes were filled with joy.

With a thought, Dou Qi flowed freely through his body without the slightest hint of unfamiliarity.

Sure enough, how could Dou Qi gained through arduous cultivation compare to points added by the system?

Xiao Yang did not feel that his foundation was unstable in the slightest. Instead, he felt that it was exceptionally solid.

He could wield this Dou Qi as easily as his own limbs, with remarkable proficiency.

He looked at his battle skills and immediately began adding points.

He invested 1,100 universal experience points into both Snow-Treading Without a Trace and Eight Extremes Collapse.

In an instant, a vast amount of insight flooded into Xiao Yang's mind.

Xiao Yang felt as if he had practiced Eight Extremes Collapse and Snow-Treading Without a Trace countless times.

Who knew how long passed before he completely absorbed all those insights.

Now, when he used Eight Extremes Collapse, he could already unleash eight bursts of hidden force!

Xiao Yang did not feel that this was a waste at all.

After all, he had read the game instructions, so he knew that even if he upgraded Eight Extremes Collapse into a Low Earth-Tier Battle Skill, the experience it had accumulated would be inherited by the new battle skill.

Therefore, he did not feel it was much of a waste.

Besides, these Profound-Tier Battle Skills were crucial for him to kill enemies above his level!

If he wanted to gain more experience, killing enemies above his level was the best method.

Xiao Yang had no intention of staying in the Xiao Household forever.

If he remained in the Xiao Household, his progress would be very slow.

If he wanted to grow quickly, he needed to go to places like the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the Black-Corner Region to fight people and magical beasts.

He had already planned to head for the Magical Beast Mountain Range once he reached a certain level.

Of course, for the time being, he would definitely operate only around the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

In the outer region alone, even Fighters could hunt magical beasts.

Just like the mercenaries of Qingshan Town, the strongest among them were merely low-star Dou Masters, yet they could still hunt magical beasts in the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Yang naturally had even less to worry about.

If it came down to it, he could raise his cultivation to the Dou Master realm in one go.

Of course, before that, he needed to make some preparations.

He opened the game store and began browsing.

Xiao Yang opened the section related to medicinal pills.

He could now refine all first-grade pills, but he still needed pill formulas.

Before long, he found several first-grade pill formulas.

Some of them even included poisons.

Xiao Yang had no moral qualms about that. In this world, survival was the most important thing; he did not care what methods he used.

A first-grade pill formula generally cost anywhere from several thousand to ten thousand points.

Xiao Yang bought several first-grade pill formulas in one go.

The most expensive one cost only ten thousand points.

Aside from that, he spent fifty thousand points to purchase a formula for a second-grade medicinal pill!

The pill recorded in that formula was called the Dou Practitioner Pill!

This was a formula that did not exist on the Dou Qi Continent and could only be found in the store.

In fact, many of the pill formulas in the store did not exist on the Dou Qi Continent, or had already been lost.

The effect of the Dou Practitioner Pill was simple: it could raise a Dou Practitioner's cultivation by one star.

One person could take at most two of them!

The reason Xiao Yang had not directly raised his cultivation to the Nine-Star Dou Practitioner level was because he wanted to save some experience and use medicinal pills to improve instead.

If he bought Dou Practitioner Pills directly, they cost sixty thousand points each in the store. Xiao Yang felt it would be better to refine them himself.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Seven-Star Dou Practitioner level, he could barely refine second-grade medicinal pills as well.

In any case, if he did not have enough Dou Qi, he could simply spend a little experience to instantly recover to his peak state.

Once he finished making his purchases, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind the next moment.

Before long, Xiao Yang had fully absorbed all that information.

He memorized the medicinal ingredients he needed, got up, and left for the Mittel Auction House.

Mittel Auction House.

When Xiao Yang arrived at the entrance, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

The other party saw Xiao Yang as well.

The instant he saw Xiao Yang, a flash of venom and hatred appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Yang naturally noticed the hatred in the man's eyes, but he did not care in the slightest.

"Well, if it isn't Young Master Galeo?"

"Long time no see. Has your face healed?"

Xiao Yang looked at Galeo before him and spoke with a teasing expression.

"You!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Galeo nearly rushed forward to attack him.

However, when he remembered that this was the Mittel Auction House, Galeo hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart.

The Jia Lie Clan did not dare offend the Mittel Auction House.

Perhaps the strongest person at the Mittel Auction House in Wu Tan City was only a Dou Master.

But the Mittel Family behind it had Dou King experts!

"Hmph!"

Galeo snorted coldly, ignored Xiao Yang, and headed straight into the Mittel Auction House.

After moving away from Xiao Yang, he quietly said to a guard beside him.

"Go keep watch at the entrance of the Mittel Auction House. The moment Xiao Yang leaves, come notify me."

Seeing Galeo leave, Xiao Yang did not follow him.

He walked directly toward a room inside the Mittel Auction House.

When he reached the door of a room, he knocked.

"Come in!"

A pleasant voice came from within.

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony and pushed the door open.

Inside the room was a woman wearing a red cheongsam, her figure exceptionally voluptuous.

"Isn't this Young Master Xiao Yang?"

"How were the medicinal ingredients and pill cauldron Young Master Xiao Yang bought previously?"

The woman looked at Xiao Yang, her eyes carrying a hint of deeper meaning.

This woman was Ya Fei, famed throughout Wu Tan City.

After learning of Xiao Yang's talent at the coming-of-age ceremony, she had personally received him when he came to purchase a pill cauldron and medicinal ingredients.

She knew very well that only alchemists would buy such things.
