BTTH 53

In the scorching small forest, streams of energy like white threads of Dou Qi flowed through the air, continuously being absorbed by Xiao Yan's body as he slept.

Looking at the energy-absorbing Xiao Yan, Xun Er felt surprised. He watched closely what was going on before his eyes then thought and stood up to guard the area. If Xiao Yan was awakened from the mediation state of his training, he would lose the chance to breakthrough up the level.

The success of Xiao Yan's breakthrough could be said to have definitely succeeded.

With the amount of Dou Qi absorbed, the facial features that had been exhausted slowly faded. His face was warm and glowing.

For an hour after, this situation continued inside the small forest until it finally arrived in time for a breakthrough. Then, when the last wisps of Dou Qi entered Xiao Yan's body, the small forest regained its composure, the scorching sunlight still continuing to shine with its heat.

Even though Xiao Yan's eyes were still closed, his heartbeat and sighing were still regular and steady. Xun Er saw this sigh of relief, relaxed and smiled with a soft whisper:

“He finally reached the 9th Duan Qi. Perhaps in half a year, Xiao Yan ge-ge will be able to make another breakthrough and become a ranker Dou Zhe.”

With still a light smile Xun Er jumped onto the nearby limestone and sat in a cross-legged position. Elbows were placed on his knees with palms propping up his chin while his fingers were stretched out on his cheeks, he was waiting for Xiao Yan to wake up.

The daylight gradually turned into dusk when Xiao Yan finally rose from his deep sleep. Opening and blinking his eyes in confusion, Xiao Yan stared blankly ahead recalling what happened. Raising his head, his gaze stopped on the figure that was emitting a golden radiance from the reflection of the twilight sunlight. Bright and clear dazzling, a pair of eyes met his gaze then smiled at each other.

“Is Xiao Yan ge-ge finally awake?” Xun Er smiled loosely as she asked a question to Xiao Yan who had just woken up.

Smiling with a nod of his head, Xiao Yan got up. Twisting his numb neck, he lazily bowed.

“Kreteek.krekk”.

a bone-chilling sound rang out from the body that had just absorbed Duan Qi. Confused by the feeling that had made the breakthrough, Xiao Yan clenched his hand then opened it again, his jaw slightly opened and tilted his head with wrinkled eyes as if in disbelief he uttered:

“What...Looks like I have already reached the 9th Duan Qi?”

Xun Er nodded and laughed at Xiao Yan's mannerisms.

Upon seeing Xun Er nod, Xiao Yan's lips curled upwards into a smile. His heart was shocked, even though he still did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was only this time that he made a breakthrough while he was sleeping. The way of breakthrough this time was a bit strange according to him.

Eagerly punching through the air several times quickly and sensing a stronger Dou Qi from a few hours ago, Xiao Yan could not help but laugh.

After getting all the pleasant surprises, Xiao Yan finally realized the color of the sky that was starting to darken. Giving an apologetic smile to Xun Er, she knew that Xun Er had been waiting for her all along. While taking back his clothes, he started teasing Xun Er

“Don't want to go? Today is a good day so why don't you let this gege treat you with good food in Wu Tang City"

“Really? I want to eat the most expensive one then ..”

He replied with a light laugh. Tiptoeing on the limestone then he carefully leaped next to Xiao Yan

Extending his still excited legs to his room, Xiao Yan flopped down onto the bed and hugged his pillow. With a gentle murmur to himself he said

“Finally, once again my breakthrough will finally be a Dou Zhe"

“Hey, the breakthrough that just happened was because of that little girl.” From the middle of the room, the old man's laughter suddenly sounded.

Looking towards the direction of the voice, Xiao Yan stared at Yao Lao and asked

“What does Xun Er have to do with this?”

“He has his share, otherwise you will need at most one week to make a breakthrough.” Yao Lao's transparent body sat on the chair, his casual tone heard throughout the room.

Reluctantly shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yan stretched his body back

“Now that I am already at the 9th Duan Qi, if I want a breakthrough to become a Dou Zhe, I guess it will take another half a year"

After saying that, he momentarily stopped and threw his pillow. His previously calm face became gloomy, his voice now showed a cold tone

“One year has passed and I still haven't reached a 1-star Dou Zhe. If the development is still like this, I fear that I will not be able to catch up to Nalan Yanran within three years. ”

After hearing this, Yao Lao looked and saw it but still remained silent.

“Nalan Yanran is being trained to become the next Misty Cloud Faction leader. His talent could not be said to be low at all and the Misty Cloud Faction was also extremely powerful. They even had the great alchemist Pill King Gu He there. If he were to help Nalan Yanran, his training speed would be terrifying. Definitely not going to be the same from my training speed.” Xiao Yan thought hard to himself.

Yao Lao tilted his head to Xiao Yan and looked at Xiao Yan's bright eyes as if focusing on him. Yao Lao laughed but still did not comment.

Looking at Yao Lao's face, Xiao Yan could only squint his eyes. I hope he says something.

“Heh..”.

After being silent for a while, Yao Lao slowly sighed. Standing up then walking towards Xiao Yan, his lips began to curl up into a smile:

“Gu He it's just a 6th level Alchemist there's nothing to worry about. Is it worth calling him the King of Pills? Other than refining pills, what else could he do?”

Hearing Yao Lao speak in this manner, Xiao Yan's face suddenly smiled brightly. At this moment, he knew it was time for his mysterious teacher to finally intervene.

“Tomorrow, go buy some ingredients. Qi Gathering Powder, I will make it like candy, I can't even believe if this Nalan will be treated like this!“

With both hands behind his back, Yao Lao grinned proudly.
