Sixth-Rank Alchemist Token!

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Yun greeted Xiao Zhan, then left the hall together with Xun Er.

As soon as they stepped outside, Xun Er slowed down and turned to glance at Xiao Yun beside her.

"Brother Xiao Yun, you don't need to take Xiao Ning's words to heart."

Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised to hear Xun Er say that. He had not expected her to go out of her way to comfort him.

"I know."

"And I believe Brother Xiao Yun would never do something like that," Xun Er added softly.

Hearing those words stirred something within him. No matter what, Xun Er had indeed helped him today.

So he said, "Thank you for what happened today. If you hadn't stepped in when you did, those elders probably wouldn't have let the matter go so easily."

Xun Er shook her head slightly. "It was only a small matter. Brother Xiao Yun, there's no need to be so polite."

After saying that, a faint blush appeared on Xun Er's cheeks.

However, she did not say anything else. She merely nodded lightly, then turned and headed toward her residence.

Watching Xun Er's departing figure, Xiao Yun had to admit that her looks and beauty were truly exquisite.

But in the original story, she had been utterly devoted to Xiao Yan and had always been indifferent toward the other Xiao Clan members. Her attitude toward him now was rather difficult for him to understand.

Still, Xiao Yun did not dwell on it. He had only just transmigrated here, after all, and there were still many things he had yet to figure out.

Just as he was about to head back, the corner of his eye caught sight of a figure standing behind a large tree in the distance, glaring fixedly in this direction.

It was Xiao Ning.

At that moment, a flash of hatred appeared in Xiao Ning's eyes. Looking in the direction Xiao Yun had just left, he was practically bursting with rage.

Although Xiao Yun noticed his gaze, he did not take it too seriously.

After all, he was now a Five-Star Da Dou Shi. Xiao Ning was merely trash who had not even become a Dou Zhe, hardly worth his attention.

Still, he understood quite well why Xiao Ning was so angry.

After all, Xiao Ning's feelings for Xun Er were no secret within the Xiao Clan. Everyone knew, though no one openly spoke of it.

Moreover, with Xun Er's beauty and temperament, she was a rare sight not merely in Wu Tan City, but throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Yet Xun Er had always been extremely cold toward Xiao Ning, never showing him any special favor.

But today, Xun Er had testified on his behalf in front of so many people, then walked out with him while chatting and laughing. How could Xiao Ning possibly not be furious after seeing that?

Thinking about this, Xiao Yun could not help but smile.

After all, he was only a piece of trash with Two-Stage Dou Qi. What gave him the right to receive such special treatment from Xun'er, with her protecting him at every turn?

That was probably what Xiao Ning was thinking.

However, Xiao Yun had no intention of holding anything against him. He turned and headed toward his residence.

As he walked, the system's light screen suddenly lit up before him once more.

[Daily copy attempts have been reset. This token will be drawn at random. Confirm draw?]

Xiao Yun froze for a moment. A random draw?

What he was curious about was what kind of token the system could draw. It would not be some trash token, would it?

"Confirm draw."

Xiao Yun silently muttered the words in his heart, and the light screen before him immediately began to flicker.

[Randomly drawing token... Drawing... Draw successful!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully copied: Pill King Gu He, Sixth-Rank Alchemist Token!]

Seeing the notification on the system panel, he was instantly ecstatic.

Pill King Gu He?

Sixth-Rank Alchemist?

That was the top Alchemist in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

In the original story, Gu He had been the Jia Ma Empire's great master of alchemy. A Sixth-Rank Alchemist of his caliber ranked among the best even across the entire continent. Even a power like the Misty Cloud Sect had to treat Gu He with courtesy.

Not long afterward, he felt a powerful surge of soul force pour into his mind.

The principles behind medicinal pills, the identification of medicinal ingredients, refinement techniques, control of flame intensity... all of it flooded into his head at once, leaving him dazed.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

The memories and experience of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist were far more valuable than even the strength of a Dou Emperor.

After all, while the strength of a Dou Emperor was certainly formidable, an Alchemist's value went far beyond martial power.

With the identity of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, he could refine whatever medicinal pills he wanted. With the aid of pills, raising his strength and breaking through realms would be as easy as turning his hand.

Moreover, Alchemists held an extremely high status throughout the Dou Qi Continent. Even if one's strength was inferior to another's, as long as one was an Alchemist, the major powers and sects would show a measure of respect.

At that thought, Xiao Yun could not help sighing inwardly. This system was pretty good.

It had just given him the strength of a Five-Star Da Dou Shi, granting him the means to establish himself, and now it had immediately drawn a Sixth-Rank Alchemist Token.

Several hours gradually passed, and Xiao Yun returned to his residence.

It was on the eastern side of the Xiao Clan's rear courtyard, a room that was not particularly large and furnished rather simply.

After closing the door, Xiao Yun sat down, closed his eyes, and began to digest the alchemy knowledge in his mind.

The experience and memories of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist were immense, and it took him quite a while to sort through them.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, already having a plan in mind.

The next thing he needed to do was raise his strength as quickly as possible. Although a Five-Star Da Dou Shi counted as an expert in Wu Tan City, it was not nearly enough when placed in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

And without a doubt, the fastest way to increase one's strength was through refining medicinal pills.

With his current memories and experience as a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, refining some pills that could raise his strength would be effortless.

However, refining pills required medicinal ingredients, and the better the pill, the more precious the ingredients it required.

Xiao Yun calculated the wealth he had on hand and could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.

Even if he gathered everything he had, he probably could not scrape together a few gold coins, much less afford the medicinal ingredients needed for alchemy.

"This is going to be troublesome," Xiao Yun muttered to himself.

He could not exactly run to Xiao Zhan and say that he wanted to buy medicinal ingredients to refine pills. Setting aside whether Xiao Zhan would believe him, merely explaining how someone with Two-Stage Dou Qi had suddenly learned alchemy would be troublesome enough.

The more Xiao Yun thought about it, the more his head began to ache.

But he quickly thought of a solution.

Although the Xiao Clan was not some great clan, it did have a medicinal workshop where medicinal ingredients and pills were stored for clan members' use.

However, that workshop had always been managed by people from the First Elder's branch. It would probably not be easy for him to obtain medicinal ingredients there.

But he could go find Xun'er. She was definitely a little rich girl!
