Although Xiao Yan had obtained the Qi Gathering Pill, he did not directly consume it. Instead, he let out a long sigh as he forcefully suppressed his impatience and made himself climb onto the bed to rest.
Xiao Yan knew that if he started the process to become a Dou Zhe in his current state, the chances of his failure were over 70%. Although Yao Lao could easily create another Qi Gathering Pill, Xiao Yan did not wish to take any unnecessary risks that could be easily avoided.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was able to resist the temptation to immediately break through the Dou Zhe level, Yao Lao nodded his head in satisfaction. With a satisfied expression on his face, his body shone as he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the ring.
……
After completing the Qi Gathering Pill, Xiao Yan's training speed gradually slowed to a steady rhythm. Every day, he conducted an hour of Dou Qi training before going to the mountains behind the Xiao Clan to train his Dou Skills. If he had the time, Xiao Yan would accompany Xun Er on a walk around Wu Tang City. Overall, a very satisfying relaxing life.
When these five days of leisurely life had passed, Xiao Yan finally felt that he was at peak condition. Now is the best time to try to become a Dou Zhe.
……
In the mountains behind the Xiao Clan's estate, there was a hidden cave under the cliff. This cave was about one meter wide and had been specially chosen by Xiao Yan as its training ground. On the other side of the cliff there was a misty cloud while further under the fog was the Demon Beast Mountain Range, filled with many ferocious beasts. Under the cliff there was a ravine so deep that you could not see its depth. The only entrance to the cave was a narrow path that Xiao Yan had hidden using branches and stones. So Xiao Yan was very confident that if he chose this place to make a breakthrough, he would not be bothered by anyone.
Slowly taking a breath, Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle. Tilting the bottle, the bluish green pill slid.
Gazing at the shiny and smooth Qi Gathering Pill, a small smile formed on Xiao Yan's face. He once again inhaled a scent that would calm one's heart. Licking his lips, Xiao Yan unhesitatingly inserted the pill into his mouth.
The moment the Qi Gathering Pill entered his mouth, an ice-cold sensation could be felt spreading from his mouth. A split second later, Luke's warm pure energy essence began to transfer from his mouth into his body, giving rise to a loud jolt from Xiao Yan's body.
With a calm face, Xiao Yan used both of his hands to immediately form a hand seal that absorbed Dou Qi. His breathing continued to subside as the Dou Qi within his body responded to his thoughts and began to quickly tangle with the powerful and pure essence of the pill to refine it quickly.
Inside the small cave, the originally calm air suddenly rose as white lines of Dou Zi Qi gathered from the air and surged continuously into Xiao Yan's body.
Biting his lips in pain, two energies collided within his body and caused waves of pain emanating from channels all over his body. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's channel was much harder than that of an ordinary person's and therefore although it was painful, it would not cause too much damage to him.
Within his body, Dou Qi surrounded the pure green energy essence, rapidly refining it. The green energy was constantly being transformed into white Dou Qi and with the newly formed Dou Qi to drive the process, it was, The Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body quickly expanded to the point where he could be seen growing with the naked eye.
Although the pure essence of the pill was refined endlessly, the essence continued to flow nonstop. Every time a Dou Qi managed to purify a certain amount of essence, a new and larger batch of green energy would flow forward.
With both Dou Qi refined within his body and absorbed from the outside, the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body gradually filled most of his body's channels.
As before, the purification process continues. When the essence of the pill finally started to diminish, Xiao Yan who was drunk due to the rapid growth of his strength suddenly realized that the Dou Qi in his body had swelled to a critical point and could no longer be increased.
“Quick! Solidify the Dou Qi typhoon! Before exploding! ” Yao Lao's shout was like thunder, exploding in Xiao Yan's heart.
Breathing in a deep cold air, Xiao Yan's hand seal suddenly changed in a flash of understanding. Touching his thumb and middle finger in the same place, the ten fingers on his hand formed a strange hand seal.
Xiao Yan had taken this step many years before and therefore when he used it once again, it flowed like water, smooth and unaffected.
After the change of the hand seal, the surging Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body suddenly flooded down under the wild and ferocious sucking force of the stomach.
When all the Dou Qi gathered in the abdominal area, the white Dou Qi started to turn into a milky white color.
“Quick compress Dou Qi! Use your soul perception to compress it, if the Dou Qi fails to solidify into a typhoon, you will once again descend to 8 Duan Qi! ” Yao Lao's shout echoed once again in Xiao Yan's heart.
Slightly nodding his head, Xiao Yan focused his mind on the task. In an instant, the perception of his incredible soul overpowered the Dou Qi. Compression quickly begins ……
The milky white Dou Zi Qi rejected the soul perception guidance, violently swirling around.
Although the resistance was not at all weak, the perception of Xiao Yan's soul had shocked even Yao Lao. So the Dou Qi resistance was similar to that of the praying mantis trying to block the car, only slightly resisting before reluctantly pulling back.
When the Dou Qi was compressed to the size of a palm, it froze and stopped moving.
“Compress again!” Yao Lao shouted.
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yan closed his eyes. The spiritual perception surrounding the white Dou Qi suddenly culminated in strength before suppressing viciously!
“Bang!”
A light muffled voice quietly sounded within Xiao Yan's body ……
After this, the resistance of the Dou Qi finally disappeared, leaving the drained Xiao Yan.
******* weight came out when Xiao Yan helplessly fell to the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly due to exhaustion.
As he lay on the cold cave floor, Xiao Yan once again experienced the abundant energy he had not felt for four years. A smile floated on his lips, getting wider and wider until it finally became a small laugh, a warm laugh, a howling laugh ……
