He could clearly feel every organ, every cell being filled, while the space within his Five Qi Palaces gradually expanded.
And best of all, it didn't hurt at all.
When Xiao Jian finally came to his senses from this blissful feeling, he realized he had broken through!
"I wonder which senior devised such a miraculous method. Although it consumes a lot of resources, the cultivation speed is truly astonishing!"
Feeling the improved quality and quantity of Dou Qi within his Five Qi Palaces, Xiao Jian murmured to himself.
In just eight months, he had gone from having no Dou Qi to becoming a Dou Zhe. Such terrifying speed of cultivation would be hard for anyone to believe.
However, there was one troubling problem:
What about his cultivation method?
Although having five Qi Palaces allowed him to practice five different attributes, the Xiao family's best techniques were still limited.....only the Family Leader Xiao Zhan's "Raging Lion Strike," a mid-level Profound-tier skill.
And it seemed to be Wind Attribute.
With only three months until the coming-of-age ceremony, there would soon be an evaluation. This was meant to eliminate those whose Dou Qi failed to reach the standard.
Clan members above the seventh Duan would qualify to enter the Dou Qi Pavilion and select a cultivation technique after the ceremony.
In Xiao Jian's view, if he found a skill matching his Dou Qi attribute within two months, it might boost his strength by several Duan!
So, there was only one option.
Mittler Auction House, Yafei's Office
Seeing Xiao Jian had truly ascended to Dou Zhe before year's end, Yafei's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open in surprise.
Eight months… Dou Zhe.
Yafei's feelings were complex. She should have been happy for Xiao Jian, and she was.
Yet, she couldn't help feeling a little envious.
Her own talent wasn't great. Though she had started cultivation young, she was nearly twenty and still just a Dou Zhe.
With her duties keeping her busy, she rarely trained, leaving her combat power far below Xiao Jian's.
However, that feeling passed quickly.
After all, the Mittler family was a commercial clan. With her skills in business, she could still rise to control the family.
Plus, thanks to the ideas Xiao Jian had given her, her reputation within the Mittler family had improved. Upon returning to the Imperial Capital, she would likely enter the family's management.
The future looked promising.
"Yafei?"
Xiao Jian smiled, waving his hand in front of her.
Snapping back, Yafei chuckled and shook her head.
"Though I always believed in you, seeing this in person is still unbelievable."
"Since Yafei trusts me, I can't let her down!" Xiao Jian said with a bright smile.
"You came here for Dou Skills, right?"
Yafei snorted softly, then asked.
"Yes, but if there's a matching technique, even better. The family's skills are low-level; I can only rely on your help."
Xiao Jian nodded earnestly, eyes gleaming.
Yafei nodded seriously. "Then what is your Dou Qi attribute?"
Just as Xiao Jian was about to answer, his Soul Scroll vibrated, drawing his attention.
The scroll displayed the materials required to ascend to Dou Shi and some information that completely overturned his understanding.
Seeing it, Xiao Jian smirked with a hint of mischief:
"Ice Attribute."
Spent countless moments checking information…
Ice attribute? That's a rare type of battle qi!"
Hearing this, Ya Fei's face also revealed a hint of surprise.
"Right? As far as I know, the family only has yellow-rank ice attribute cultivation methods....actually, no, I don't think we even have a proper technique for this attribute at all."
Xiao Jian nodded, smiling bitterly as he spoke.
"Mm, I'll report this news to the Grand Elder."
Ya Fei nodded seriously.
Although ice-attribute cultivation methods and battle skills weren't common, for the Mittel family, they weren't completely unheard of.
Ya Fei vaguely remembered that the clan had once collected quite a number of ice-attribute techniques and skills.
As for why, she wasn't too sure....she only knew it was something from decades ago.
"Then I'll trouble Sister Ya Fei with this matter!"
Xiao Jian nodded solemnly.
"Oh, and I need another batch of medicinal ingredients."
With that, Xiao Jian quickly wrote out a new list.
"So many herbs again? You're not actually planning to become an alchemist, are you?"
Ya Fei glanced at the paper in doubt.
Naturally, I have other uses for them."
Xiao Jian replied vaguely.
"Well, fine."
Ya Fei tilted her head. She was indeed curious, but since Xiao Jian didn't want to say, she had no intention of prying into his secrets.
A moment later, noticing that Xiao Jian had no intention of leaving, Ya Fei asked curiously, "What is it? Is there something else you want to say?"
Xiao Jian's eyes curved into a smile. In a gentle tone, he said, "These past days I've been busy cultivating. Now that I've broken through to Fighter, it's finally time to rest a little. Today, I won't go anywhere—I'll just stay here and keep Sister Ya Fei company."
Ya Fei, caught off guard by such tender words, felt her pretty face flush slightly. After calming her heart, she gave a charming smile. "All right."
After spending the whole day helping Ya Fei with her work, Xiao Jian returned to the Xiao clan.
