"Senior Sister Zi Yan…"
"I have just finished my Cultivation in the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, and my body and mind are somewhat tired…"
"How about I refine Medicinal Pills for you after I've rested?"
Xiao Yi said softly.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan waved her hand and said indifferently:
"No need to call me Senior Sister…"
"With your excellent pill refining skills, you'll be my friend from now on. Just call me Zi Yan."
Zi Yan was still savoring the taste of the three Qi Gathering Powder from earlier. Xiao Yi smiled slightly at her reaction and nodded:
"Alright…"
"We are friends."
Zi Yan then looked up at Xiao Yi, speaking with some reluctance:
"Okay, then go and rest quickly…"
"When you're well-rested, you absolutely must continue refining Medicinal Pills for me!"
Xiao Yi looked at Zi Yan's constantly blinking eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Don't worry, we are friends…"
"You certainly won't be short of Medicinal Pills…"
Upon receiving Xiao Yi's promise, a hint of excitement flashed in Zi Yan's eyes. She immediately patted her chest and guaranteed:
"In that case!"
"Then you can also rest assured. As long as there are enough Medicinal Pills, I will take you to a good place, allowing you to perform well in the upcoming Strong Ranking Competition!"
Xiao Yi nodded lightly, then turned and left.
However, Xiao Yi did not go back to rest as Zi Yan had suggested.
Instead, he went directly to a secluded spot in the Inner Academy's back mountain.
Because Xiao Yi knew that he had already advanced to Dou Ling.
Although his strength had greatly improved.
However, with the Strong Ranking Competition approaching, the strength of a One-Star Dou Ling was still somewhat insufficient in the eyes of these monsters in the Inner Academy!
So Xiao Yi still needed to make ample preparations!
The Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique [Eternal Treasure Convergence Finger] he found in the Dou Zun Relic Site earlier could be Cultivated once he reached Dou Ling.
Now that Xiao Yi had reached Dou Ling, the first thing he needed to do was Cultivate his second set of Dou Technique.
A flash of light appeared in Xiao Yi's palm, and the familiar black scroll immediately appeared in his hand.
At the same time, Xiao Xuan's figure slowly emerged.
"You Little Fellow, you're as impatient as ever…"
"You just Broke through to Dou Ling, and you're already so eager to learn this Dou Technique?"
Xiao Xuan spoke with a slight smile, looking at Xiao Yi with a deep voice.
Xiao Yi also smiled slightly: "Ancestor, this is also a helpless move…"
"You see, although I am now in the Dou Ling Realm, I have too few combat methods at my disposal…"
"I only have the Dragon Abyss Sky-breaking Art, a Dou Technique you taught me, and that Dou Technique also needs to be used in conjunction with the dragon abyss formation breaking spear…"
"Now that I have such a Dou Technique that can be activated without a weapon, there's no reason not to practice it…"
What Xiao Yi said was indeed true.
After all, in battle, if one encounters an opponent of the same level.
What is often competed is the Dou Technique they master. The number of Dou Technique, and the level of its grade, are the key to determining victory.
Although Xiao Yi now possessed the Di-rank Dou Technique, Dragon Abyss Sky-breaking Art, he only had this one Dou Technique after all.
Now that he had finally advanced to Dou Ling, how could he resist Cultivating the Eternal Treasure Convergence Finger?
Xiao Xuan also understood this principle and did not retort.
He just gently waved his fingertip, slowly unrolling the black scroll to personally examine whether the Dou Technique had been tampered with.
After ensuring its safety, he then softly said:
"Little Fellow…"
"Practice it. Although this Dou Technique is Earth Rank Mid-level, it doesn't seem too difficult to Cultivate. You only need to follow the instructions recorded on the Dou Technique scroll to master it…"
Xiao Yi nodded slightly.
He then sat cross-legged, spreading the black scroll in front of him.
When Xiao Yi activated the Soul Power within his body, the black scroll suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.
Directly absorbing Xiao Yi's Soul Power into another Small World.
[Eternal Treasure Convergence Finger]
[Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique, one finger shakes mountains and rivers, one finger breaks the universe]
Xiao Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, following the scroll's guidance.
He held his fingertip suspended in front of him, his breathing gradually deepening like an ancient well.
The surrounding stray Dou Qi seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, transforming into strands of red fire lines, swirling around Xiao Yi's knuckles.
The next second, Xiao Yi felt the surrounding heaven and earth energy swirling around his fingertip.
This was the profound mystery of the "Eternal Treasure Convergence Finger"—not relying on one's own Dou Qi for a direct clash, but drawing upon the scattered energy of heaven and earth for one's own use.
The Eternal Treasure Convergence Finger was, after all, an Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique.
And it required mobilizing the surrounding heaven and earth energy, so it was not as easy to learn as imagined.
Every time Xiao Yi's fingertip just managed to gather a trace of heaven and earth energy, it would quickly dissipate again.
It was extremely difficult to keep it at his fingertip for long.
Before long, Xiao Yi's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
However, Xiao Yi did not stop there, but continued to try.
As time passed, Xiao Yi's fingertip became smoother in its pulling motion.
The scattered Dou Qi no longer dispersed, but followed the trajectory drawn by Xiao Yi's fingertip.
Converging into streams, swirling and intertwining, forming a constantly rotating energy vortex in front of Xiao Yi.
Within the vortex, in addition to Xiao Yi's own Dou Qi, there was also a lot of heaven and earth energy.
This was precisely the Eternal Treasure!
It could attract scattered energies of different attributes from heaven and earth, converging them into one finger.
When the vortex spun to its extreme, almost solidifying, Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and his suspended fingertip suddenly pointed forward!
Buzz—
The vortex containing myriad mixed energies suddenly contracted, transforming into an incomparably condensed finger glow that broke through the air.
Where the finger glow passed, the air was torn, emitting a sharp whistle, and the space it passed through was actually ploughed out with a fine, shallow mark by an invisible Qi force.
At the end of the finger glow, a small hilltop directly collapsed with a roar.
Xiao Yi slowly withdrew his hand, a faint tingling sensation lingering at his fingertips. Although his internal Dou Qi was not consumed much, his Mental Energy was slightly fatigued due to the precise control.
"As expected of an Earth-rank Mid-level Dou Technique…"
"This power is truly overbearing!"
Xiao Yi murmured, still savoring the power contained in that single finger just now.
Looking at the collapsed hilltop in the distance, his eyes were very satisfied.
After all, now that he had learned this powerful Dou Technique, for Xiao Yi, it was another means to protect himself!
Giving Xiao Yi a few more points of confidence in the Strong Ranking Competition.
And Xiao Xuan, seeing this scene, also nodded with satisfaction:
"I didn't expect that the Dou Technique treasured by that Eight-Star Dou Zun was quite good. For you now, it can completely crush those in the same Realm…"
Xiao Yi slowly stood up, a mischievous smile on his face:
"Ancestor, I actually feel that this Eternal Treasure Convergence Finger is more powerful than the Dou Technique you taught me right now!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yi:
"You kid!"
"Just a mere Di-rank Dou Technique has bewitched your mind?"
"When you advance to Dou Zong and your internal Dou Qi is sufficient, I will show you what a true Heaven Rank Dou Skill is!"
No sooner had Xiao Xuan finished speaking than several roars of Demonic Beast suddenly came from the direction of the hilltop Xiao Yi had just collapsed…
