The Hidden Spirit Pill was a 4th-tier medial pill. Not only could it allow a 9-star Dou Master to break through to the Dou Grandmaster realm, but it could also suppress the unstable Dou Qi, solidify one's foundation, and heal all the hidden injuries from previous breakthroughs, ying the groundwork for the advao the Dou Spirit realm.

  A gentle medial power spread out in Xiao Yan's body as the Hidden Spirit Pill desded into his throat. Having endured so much pain, to suddenly feel the soothing effect of the medial pill almost brought tears to his eyes.

  Medial pills were truly the best things in the world!

  The blood-red fmes gradually receded, and the solid i the underground cave had all beeed by the Ten Thousa Fme.

  Xiao Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, his eyelids trembling faintly. After a moment, he slowly opehem.

  Faint blood-red fmes lingered in the depths of his ink-bck eyes. After a moment, the fme surged violently and covered his pupils entirely. His eyes had actually turned into red, beast-like pupils, emitting a faint demonic aura.

  However, upon closer iion, one would discover a hint of bck hidden deep within the red.

  Xiao Yan ched his fists tightly. He could truly feel the terrifying power tained within this body. Thanks to the medial strength of the Hidden Spirit Pill, he had broken through to the Dou Grandmaster realm. Moreover, being from the Ten Thousa Fme, his physical body was now equivalent to a Rank 3 magical beast even in its normal state.

  His body alone could withstand the attacks of other Dou Grandmasters when his Dou Qi Armor was activated!

  Xiao Yan twisted his neck slightly, and the sound of his bones crag resonated smoothly and clearly. He took a deep breath, his face full of fort and intoxication as he listeo the clear sound.

  "The feeling of being a Dou Grandmaster is simply amazing."

  L his head, Xiao Yan g his fair skin and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. The healthy, wheat-colored skin he had worked so hard to obtain had now reverted back.

  Looking at his bare body, he gave an embarrassed ugh and hurriedly took out some clothes from his ste ring to put on.

  ~o(=∩ω∩=)Meow!!

  Mao Wu emerged from the void and appeared in front of Xiao Yan, a glistening drop of blood floating on its pitch-bck paw.

  "Why did y me a drop of blood? Where did it e from?" Xiao Yan looked at the blood on Mao Wu's paw and se was no ordinary.

  Meow! Meow~~

  "You're saying you devoured Yao Li's corpse aracted this from it?" Xiao Yan had a look of disgust. What are you extrag corpse oil for?!

  He took out a pill bottle, collected the drop of blood, and tossed the bottle into his ste ring. Just this single drop wasn't even enough to refine a pill.

  Xiao Yan stroked Mao Wu's warm fur. What was inally just a little kitten had now started growing fur. He could clearly feel that the temperature of the bck fmes resembling fur had bee increasingly terrifying.

  "You've gotten stronger, but fortunately you haven't gone bald."

  ··*Meow~

  …

  'Barely reached the High Xuan Css.' Xiao Yan circuted his Dou Qi and firmed that the Fme Mantra had evolved once again. However, what left him unsatisfied was that after refining the plete Ten Thousa Fme, it had only advanced from the Low Xuan Css to the High Xuan Css.

  The difficulty of this evolution was truly not ordinary. He had gohrough great lengths to refihe Ten Thousa Fme, yet it couldn't even reach the Di Css.

  On the Dou Qi ti, Qi Methods were undoubtedly the most crucial aspect of cultivation, as their strength directly affected both bat and cultivation efficy.

  If two individuals were at the same cultivation level, but one cultivated a Huang Css Qi Method and the other a Xuan Css Qi Method, then the one cultivating the Xuan Css Qi Method would definitely have far greater bat endurance.

  Moreover, there would be a signifit differen the quality of their Dou Qi. For instance, If the one cultivating the Xuan Css Qi Method o expend one portion of Dou Qi, then the one practig the Huang Css Qi Method would o expeimes as much, or even more, to possibly achieve the same result.

  Of course, the most important factor was the cultivation speed. Back when Xiao Yan had reached the Dou Practitioner realm while practig the Fme Mantra, he had made a very determined decision.

  The Fme Mantra without dev Heavenly Fmes was simply the trashiest Qi Method Xiao Yan had ever seen. With his talent and diligen cultivation, a oar progress in one year was nothing short of a disgrace.

  The fact that he was still able to advance by oar per year while cultivating the Fme Mantra was simply a testament to his exceptional talent.

  But there was nothing he could do about it. The Fme Mantra came with the promise of the Bone Chilling Fme. If it weren't for the Bone Chilling Fme withie ring, he would never have chosen to cultivate the Fme Mantra.

  Now, he had finally ehrough the most difficult beginning. Once he reached the 5th-tier alchemist level and successfully refihe Blood Lotus Essence Pill, the Bone Chilling Fme would undoubtedly allow the Fme Mantra to evolve further!

  Xiao Yan believed that in the end, the Fme Mantra would definitely surpass the Di Css and perhaps eveian Css!

  "I want to know why the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger ultimately chose you. What exactly did you say back then?"

  The voice of the Amethyst Winged Lion King came from not far away. It had taken half a day for it to use its Amethyst Beast Fme to melt the ice created by the Bone Chilling Fme.

  That cold energy that peed deep into the soul had even shocked the fire-attribute Amethyst Winged Lion King. It was now pletely vihat Xiao Yan had the support of a major power behind him.

  But what it couldn't uand was why the remnant soul of the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger had giveen Thousa Fme to Xiao Yan and eveowed all of its remaining strength to him.

  It was the Beast Emperor of the Magic Beast Mountain Range! A fire-attribute Rank 6 magical beast. The Amethyst Winged Lion King simply couldn't prehend it!

  Why not choose it instead?!

  Xiao Yan looked at the solemn-faced Amethyst Winged Lion King and merely smiled faintly. "Lion King, there are some things that are better left unclear. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. All you o know is that I'm on the side of yic Beast Mountain Range."

  What the Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't know was that when Xiao Yan had followed it inside and saw the Ten Thousa Fme, learning about the entire sequence of events, he had already formed his own pns.

  The moment Xiao Yan had intimidated Yao Li and prevehe 7-star Dou Emperor Mu Long from taking a, he was already destio have the st ugh.

  He had refiwo Soul Guard Pills. He ed one himself and had Mao Wu bring the other into the Ten Thousa Fme to awake remnants of the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger's Spiritual Strength.

  The Nihility Dev Fme possessed the ability to devour anything, but Xiao Yan didn't have Mao Wu gnaw at Yao Ao's soul body. Instead, he had it erase the soul impri by Yao Ao, returning trol of the Ten Thousa Fme back to the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger.

  What Xiao Yan had said to the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger back then was very cise: If I obtaien Thousa Fme, the Magic Beast Mountain Range will forever be my friend.

  These words sounded like a promise on the surface, but in the circumstances of the time, they were also a veiled threat.

  If I 't obtaien Thousa Fme, I will bee the bane of the Magic Beast Mountain Range iure!

  The Amethyst Winged Lion King simply didn't uand this. It thought that even if it obtaihe Ten Thousa Fme, Xiao Yan would still help it deal with Yao Ao. Little did it know that if the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger had chosen it, Xiao Yan would have turned around and fled.

  The Amethyst Winged Lion King, possessing the power of the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger and the Ten Thousa Fme, would no longer o care about the promise of the Body Transformation Pill. Moreover, Xiao Yan as the weakest party definitely wouldn't be able to help it deal with Yao Ao and Mu Long.

  Regardless of whether Yao Ao lived or died in the end, it had nothing to do with Xiao Yan. After all, there was no real enmity between them without the Ten Thousa Fme in his hands.

  Three hundred years ago, the Magic Beast Mountain Range couldn't even withstand a sih-tier alchemist. Xiao Yan would have waited until he reached the 7th-tier alchemist before returning to take the Ten Thousa Fme.

  Thus, giving the Ten Thousa Fme to the Amethyst Winged Lion King would have been a dead end!

  Although the Eight-Winged Fme Demon Tiger seemed to have many choices, iy, there was only ohat was to give the Ten Thousa Fme to Xiao Yan and help him eliminate Yao Ao.

  Once Xiao Yan had figured everything out, the Ten Thousa Fme was already in his pocket. He had been gambling not for the Ten Thousa Fme, but for the soul body of a high-grade 7th-tier alchemist.

  He was betting that his hidden trump card, the Bone Chilling Fme, would be able to freeze Yao Ao's soul body!

  Xiao Yan was very greedy. He would be going to the Imperial Capital in half a year. If he had the soul body of a 7th-tier alchemist, he could exge it for some good items from the Hall of Souls.

  What he wanted was an attack-type Di Css Soul Skill!

  In the end, his greed paid off and his gamble succeeded.

  "Let's head back. Little Fairy Doctor has been waiting for a long time."
