Immediately, Xiao Yi lowered his head to look at the Medicinal Pill inside the brocade box and spoke softly:
"Ancestor, since this Medicinal Pill can help you recover Soul Power..."
"Why don't you take it now?"
"Or are you afraid that Gu Yuan might have tampered with this Medicinal Pill as well?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan simply smiled slightly:
"You brat, you've learned to be so cautious now..."
"Don't worry, although that old fellow Gu Yuan did wrong by the Xiao Clan, our relationship isn't so poor that he would resort to such despicable means..."
"I just checked this Medicinal Pill; there are no problems..."
Hearing Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yi immediately took out the Medicinal Pill, handed it to Xiao Xuan, and said:
"Since that's the case, Ancestor, quickly take it! This is an Eighth Grade Pill!"
"I'm sure it will have a miraculous effect on recovering your Soul Power..."
Xiao Xuan nodded, and immediately saw the Medicinal Pill slowly float up into the air.
It arrived in Xiao Xuan's hand.
Xiao Xuan glanced at the Medicinal Pill once more, then consumed it.
The Hongqi Soul Origin Pill, an Eighth Grade Pill!
It can repair the damaged Soul Origin of the user and rapidly restore consumed Soul Power.
For a Soul body like Xiao Xuan, whose Soul is damaged, it was extremely nourishing!
As Xiao Xuan consumed the Medicinal Pill, a layer of red light rippled around his body.
At the same time, his originally semi-transparent body actually solidified somewhat.
Simultaneously, Xiao Yi could clearly sense that Xiao Xuan's Soul Power seemed to have grown stronger.
"That old fellow Gu Yuan still has some conscience..."
"Although this Medicinal Pill is only an Eighth Grade Pill, the ingredients aren't simple; that old fellow certainly invested some capital!"
Judging from Xiao Xuan's reaction, he was quite satisfied with the Medicinal Pill.
After all, for a Soul body like Xiao Xuan, nothing was more precious than something that could restore Soul Power.
Seeing Xiao Xuan look much more refreshed, Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask:
"Ancestor, after taking this Medicinal Pill, your Soul Power seems to have recovered somewhat..."
"I wonder what Realm his strength has recovered to now..."
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, then said softly:
"As I am now, I might be able to exert twenty to thirty percent of my Peak strength..."
"Perhaps around the Four-Star Dou Sheng level..."
"But in the end, I am only a Soul body without a Physical Body..."
"Four-Star Dou Sheng should be the limit. If I want to advance further, I must reconstruct my Physical Body..."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he looked down slightly at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi instantly understood.
"Ancestor, rest assured, leave the matter of your Physical Body to me!"
"I will definitely reconstruct a Physical Body that can perfectly accommodate your Soul!"
Looking at Xiao Yi, Xiao Xuan did not speak further, but smiled and nodded.
"Reaching the Dou King Realm in half a year!"
"I will definitely be able to do it!"
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he didn't leave.
He immediately sat down cross-legged again and began to Cultivate!
Because Xiao Yi only had one thought now: quickly increase his strength, reach the Dou Ling Realm, and gain an exception entry into the Inner Academy!
Only upon reaching the Inner Academy would true practice begin.
Xiao Yi tightly clenched the Heavenly Venomous Scorpion Dragon condensing crystal in his hand, which could aid his Cultivation, and closed his eyes tightly.
As the Cultivation Technique was activated in his mind, the energy from the surrounding world continuously gathered toward Xiao Yi.
Seeing Xiao Yi's serious demeanor, a smile hung on Xiao Xuan's lips.
He felt deeply comforted.
"For the Xiao Clan to have such a descendant, it is truly the Xiao Clan's fortune..."
...Xiao Yi continued to Cultivate within the Jia Nan Academy for a full month.
While Cultivating, his Alchemist skills did not stagnate.
Xiao Yi still occasionally used the Pill Formula given by Yao Lao before setting off to refine some Medicinal Pills below the fourth-grade to aid his Cultivation.
Although Xiao Xuan was not a professional Alchemist, a fourth-grade pill was no problem for him to handle.
Therefore, when Xiao Yi refined Medicinal Pills, Xiao Xuan was able to give him some guidance.
Just like this, over the course of a month, with the help of the condensing crystal and Medicinal Pills,
Xiao Yi also fully immersed himself in Cultivation, and his Realm had already reached the Peak of Nine-star Dou Master, with half a foot stepping into the Great Dou Master Realm.
A flower is a time, a leaf is a Bodhi.
Xiao Yi remained seated cross-legged beneath the dead tree, quietly Cultivating.
If one couldn't see streams of energy gathering around Xiao Yi, they might have thought he was detached from the world.
The Breakthrough from Dou Master to Great Dou Master, a promotion between major Realms, was originally one of the most difficult steps in the Cultivation process.
However, with the help of the condensing crystal, Xiao Yi quickly touched that barrier!
A red light shone from the condensing crystal in Xiao Yi's hand, and immediately, the flow of aura around Xiao Yi accelerated.
At the same time, a faint armor, condensed from Dou Qi, appeared on Xiao Yi's arms.
Dou Qi Armor Manifestation!
This was the most obvious characteristic of a Great Dou Master.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xuan also nodded with satisfaction: "Advancing from Dou Master to Great Dou Master in one month..."
"Excluding the ancient Families, this speed is extremely fast..."
Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, feeling the thick, abundant Dou Qi flowing freely within his body.
His eyes were filled with excitement.
"Ancestor, I have successfully advanced to Great Dou Master!"
"Is this the feeling of Dou Qi Armor Manifestation... it truly is a bit mysterious..."
Xiao Yi lowered his head to look at the patches of red armor formed by Dou Qi on his body, unable to hide his excitement.
Xiao Xuan also smiled slightly: "Not bad, not bad..."
"With your current strength, if you returned to the current Xiao Family, you would be qualified to run for Clan Chief, wouldn't you..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi looked up and gave an awkward smile.
Xiao Zhan, with the strength of a Five-Star Great Dou Shi, was the Clan Chief, and Xiao Yi had reached Great Dou Master at such a young age.
Judging by his potential for development, Xiao Yi was indeed qualified to take the position of Clan Chief.
"Ancestor, I have been Cultivating here for a full month..."
"It seems it's time for the elite class assessment. If I don't go now, others might think something happened to me..."
Xiao Yi said softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan nodded, and with a flash of his figure, he returned to Xiao Yi's storage ring.
Xiao Yi simply adjusted his breathing and walked toward the designated gathering square.
Without any surprise, Xiao Yi perfectly displayed his characteristic of arriving just in time.
He appeared in the square right at the very last moment.
"Brother Xiao Yi..."
Seeing Xiao Yi appear, Xiao Xun'er, with her signature smile, quickly walked up to greet him.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "How is it? I'm not late, right..."
Xiao Xun'er smiled slightly: "Of course not... the Headmaster hasn't even arrived yet!"
However, just as Xun'er finished speaking, a flash of light rapidly approached from a distance.
Outer Court Head also arrived right on time.
"Everyone, how has your Cultivation progressed over the past month..."
After Outer Court Head spoke, his gaze began to examine the four members of the elite class.
"Hu Jia, One-Star Dou Shi, not bad..."
"Wu Hao is still at the Peak of Nine-Star Dou Zhe... no progress this month, huh..."
Hearing this, Wu Hao looked embarrassed and scratched his head.
Immediately, when Outer Court Head placed his attention on Xiao Yi and Xun'er.
He was instantly dumbfounded... "One-Star Dou Shi..."
"And one-star... Great... Dou Master...?"
