Now, he had successfully advanced to Dou Ling, and at the same time, his Cultivation Technique had also achieved a Breakthrough.
Xiao Yi's objective for this trip had already been accomplished.
"Then it's time to leave this place..."
Xiao Yi murmured, then got up and left.
However, as soon as Xiao Yi stepped out of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, he saw many people gathered outside the plaza.
Xiao Yi merely glanced, and among the crowd, he saw a familiar figure: Fu Ao of the White Gang.
"White Gang, how interesting..."
"Are they preparing to seek revenge?"
Xiao Yi murmured in a low voice.
At this moment, Fu Ao also saw Xiao Yi walking out of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.
He immediately shouted, "Boss, it's this kid!"
Bai Cheng, the leader of the White Gang, heard this and looked at Xiao Yi, then spoke in a deep voice:
"Kid, stop!"
As Bai Cheng finished speaking, a long spear shot out instantly, heading straight for Xiao Yi.
However, Xiao Yi's footsteps did not stop, and he didn't even look at Bai Cheng.
He merely raised his hand casually, and with two fingers, easily clamped the long spear, then with a slight force, he flung the long spear back into Bai Cheng's hand.
"One-star Dou Ling!?"
"Didn't you say this kid was only a Six-star Great Dou Master?"
Bai Cheng felt the Dou Qi within Xiao Yi's body, and couldn't help but let out a low growl, turning his head to glare at Fu Ao behind him.
However, Fu Ao was also quite shocked; he remembered that when he had fought Xiao Yi before, Xiao Yi had just advanced to a Six-star Great Dou Master.
Why, in just over ten days, had he advanced to Dou Ling?
This speed, even Cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, was perhaps a bit too terrifying.
So, Fu Ao was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer Bai Cheng.
"A mere one-star Dou Ling, yet so arrogant!"
Bai Cheng at this moment was a true Four-star Dou Ling, so naturally, he looked down on Xiao Yi's one-star Dou Ling strength.
Bai Cheng's figure flashed, and the long spear in his hand once again charged towards Xiao Yi.
"Kid, didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"
Xiao Yi's hand glowed, a Dragon roar sounded, and then the dragon abyss formation breaking spear already appeared in his hand.
"Clang..."
The two long spears collided instantly.
Powerful Dou Qi covered both long spears, but a golden stripe flashed on Xiao Yi's arm.
He exerted force, directly snapping Bai Cheng's long spear!
At the same time, Bai Cheng was also sent flying by the powerful impact!
"This kid is indeed not simple!"
"Such domineering power, no wonder Fu Ao lost to him..."
Bai Cheng couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
However, as a Four-star Dou Ling, he naturally couldn't accept defeat.
He immediately activated his Dou Qi, making a comeback.
At this moment, Xiao Yi finally slowly turned to look at Bai Cheng, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Does the White Gang really enjoy bullying the weak so much?"
However, Bai Cheng's lips curled slightly upwards, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Kid! Don't say I'm suppressing you with my Realm!"
"This world is just like this, strength is respected! The weak should submit to the strong!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi actually agreed.
On the Fighting Qi Continent, the strong are indeed respected!
It's just that the stronger of the two at this moment was probably not Bai Cheng... The next second, Xiao Yi's body was enveloped in Dou Qi, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in his hand once again emitted golden light.
However, just as Xiao Yi was about to make a move, a purple light swiftly flew from a distance.
It directly struck Bai Cheng, who was moving quickly in the air, knocking him down.
A moment later, a pigtail-wearing loli slowly appeared.
When the surrounding people saw her, they all respectfully bowed and greeted her:
"Greetings, Senior Sister Zi Yan..."
However, Zi Yan paid no attention, walking straight towards Xiao Yi.
Her big, watery eyes blinked as she sized up Xiao Yi:
"Elder said you're Xiao Yi, the one who refined that Qi Gathering Powder?"
Xiao Yi nodded at this, "That's right..."
Hearing Xiao Yi's affirmative answer, a hint of excitement instantly appeared on Zi Yan's face:
"Great! I finally found you!"
"Hurry, hurry, go refine Medicinal Pills for me!"
"The Medicinal Pills those old guys usually refine are too unpalatable..."
"That Qi Gathering Powder you refined was the best Medicinal Pill I've ever eaten, and I haven't had enough!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Go refine Medicinal Pills for me now!"
After Zi Yan finished speaking, she immediately pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve, preparing to leave.
Facing the sudden appearance of Zi Yan, not only the people of the White Gang but even Xiao Yi was slightly surprised.
Before Zi Yan left, she still looked at Bai Cheng and the others, warning them:
"Hey, all of you listen up..."
"From now on, Xiao Yi is under my protection. If any of you still dare to trouble him, you're troubling me!"
"Did you hear me?!"
The people of the White Gang, who had just been ferocious, immediately nodded their heads upon hearing Zi Yan's words, all speaking in unison:
"Understood!"
"Senior Sister Zi Yan!"
At this moment, Bai Cheng slowly got up, looking rather disheveled, and watched Zi Yan and Xiao Yi's receding figures, gnashing his teeth in hatred.
But at this time, there was indeed nothing he could do, after all, Zi Yan was the number one on the strong ranking list.
In this Inner Academy, few people could afford to provoke her!
"Xiao Yi, you just wait..."
"When this year's Strong Ranking Competition comes, I will definitely make you pay the price for offending the White Gang!"
...At this moment, Zi Yan, still pulling Xiao Yi's sleeve, had already arrived in the Alchemy room of the Alchemy Department in the Inner Academy.
Zi Yan spoke somewhat impatiently: "Quick, start..."
"Delicious Medicinal Pills!"
Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yi with an expectant face.
And Xiao Yi also showed a bit of awkwardness: "So, what Medicinal Pill do I need to refine..."
Zi Yan blinked her eyes, then said: "It doesn't matter..."
"As long as it's a Medicinal Pill..."
"Hmm, for example, the Qi Gathering Powder you refined before would be fine, it was really delicious!"
Xiao Yi gave a slightly awkward but polite smile.
It was indeed just like in the original work, this Girl Zi Yan completely treated Medicinal Pills as snacks!
It was only because Zi Yan was a legitimate royal member of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan; if it were a human, eating Medicinal Pills so casually would probably lead to disability if not death.
Seeing Xiao Yi slightly dazed, Zi Yan was already a bit impatient and urged him:
"Hey! Xiao Yi, don't space out!"
"Hurry up and refine the Medicinal Pills, I'm practically drooling. The Medicinal Pills others refine aren't as tasty as yours!"
Xiao Yi came back to his senses and responded twice: "Okay, okay..."
In the Alchemy Department, the medicinal ingredients for refining Qi Gathering Powder were quite common.
Moreover, now that Xiao Yi's Cultivation Technique had successfully broken through, and his strength had reached Dou Ling.
Refining a common fourth-grade pill like Qi Gathering Powder again was even more skillful and smooth.
The speed was also much faster than before.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Yi had successfully refined three Qi Gathering Powder that were perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
Looking at the lustrous Medicinal Pills in front of her, Zi Yan couldn't control herself, and immediately waved her small hand.
She snatched them all and put them into her mouth in one go.
"Delicious, delicious!"
"I have to say, your craftsmanship is the best..."
"From now on, as long as you refine Medicinal Pills for me, if anyone in this Inner Academy troubles you, I'll beat them up for you!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile slightly at Zi Yan's appearance.
It had to be said, this Girl was truly genuine!
