367. Heavenly Thunder Forging Spirit
The sheer volume and weight of the information caused a sharp pain in Xiao Yan's brain, but within moments, he gradually began to react and absorb the information flooding into his mind.
"Heavenly Thunder Forges Spirit!"
"In the Dou Qi Continent, people have two methods of advancement: absorbing Dou Qi and strengthening their souls. It is absurd and unbelievable that people in this world distinguish between them by soul skills and fighting skills."
"If one only knows how to absorb battle qi, even if one reaches the Dou Sheng realm, one will miss the greatest treasure within the human body—the soul! If an alchemist spends all day honing their soul power, their own strength will be weak, and they will have gone astray, never able to glimpse the true vastness of the alchemist's realm! Within a year, I simultaneously broke through to the ninth-grade alchemist and Dou Sheng realms, deeply feeling the complementary and synergistic effect of battle qi and the soul. Therefore, I condensed my insights into a battle soul cultivation technique—Heavenly Thunder Forging Spirit!"
"Cultivating this technique allows one to harness the power of heavenly lightning to temper the body and forge the soul! It unleashes the power of thunder to refine the physical body and soul, cleansing them of impurities! If a fortunate descendant can break the sealing runes on the cauldron, they will find this masterpiece of mine. This technique is the culmination of my painstaking efforts; anyone can cultivate it without affecting their own cultivation method. The heavenly lightning power required for this technique is extraordinary. If someone with a weak will and a lowly destiny finds it, they will only invite undeserved disaster. It is better to abandon it early. Only this one cultivation method remains in the world. If the person who obtains this technique achieves anything through it, it is merely the luck of future generations; there is no need to dwell on it for long!"
After sorting through the information in his mind, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable joy! The ability to simultaneously temper both body and soul—wasn't this the ability he craved most? Currently, he was stuck at the bottleneck of the Spirit Realm Soul, unable to progress. The appearance of this technique was definitely an excellent opportunity for him to break through that bottleneck!
Xiao Yan also looked towards room number three and smiled, thinking: If that white-robed youth knew that his provocative act had brought him such a great gift, I wonder what kind of interesting expression he would have.
"How is Young Master?" Qinglin asked as soon as she arrived in front of Xiao Yan. Although Mingmei's records stated that the sealing mark she had just broken was a way for ancient people to seal their inheritance, and that breaking it would grant them the inheritance left by their predecessors, she was worried that it would have a negative impact on Xiao Yan since it was her first time using it.
Xiao Yan then scolded, "You brat, why didn't you absorb it yourself?"
Ultimately, if it weren't for Qinglin's insight, the three of them would never have discovered the ancient cauldron's value. Not to mention that it was Qinglin who broke the seal single-handedly; it would have been perfectly normal for her to absorb the light in the end. Although Qinglin isn't an alchemist, this technique would definitely benefit her!
Qing Lin smiled, her eyes showing a hint of pride in having helped Xiao Yan: "It's good that it's useful to Young Master. Besides, Grandma said that I'm not allowed to learn anything recklessly before I reach the Five-Star Dou Sheng level. Just follow her arrangements."
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, realizing that Qing Lin's words made things much easier. After all, what others considered priceless treasures might be worthless in Mingmei's eyes, which was why he didn't want Qing Lin to take any wrong turns. Little Fairy Doctor and Mu Qingluan looked at Qing Lin with extreme surprise; he had already shocked them enough. To become a six-star Dou Zun at such a young age, to summon the previously seen Devouring Python, and to see through the immense value hidden within this ancient cauldron—this was something no ordinary person could achieve.
Judging from Qing Lin's tone just now, her grandmother seemed to have assured her that she would definitely advance to become a five-star Dou Sheng? Countless brilliant geniuses are stuck between the formidable chasm of Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, struggling their entire lives without ever finding a chance to break through. But Qing Lin's tone made it seem like breaking through to Dou Sheng was an easy, certain thing? Even the prodigies of the ancient clans shouldn't have such confidence!
However, in their usual interactions, Qinglin was always the most obedient and gentle one, without the slightest hint of arrogance stemming from her strength. While Little Fairy Doctor and Mu Qingluan were curious, they wouldn't actively inquire about Qinglin's background. Everyone has their own secrets, and as companions, there's no need to be wary of one's own people!
After the auction of the Spirit-Nourishing Powder concluded, the Cliff Gang had sold everything it needed to auction. Lin Xiuya made some polite remarks at the end. Meanwhile, the Cliff Gang members were finalizing things with the buyers, as it was a barter transaction and many items required final verification. During this time, Xiao Yan was naturally in high spirits. The auction had brought together the medicinal herbs needed to revive Yao Lao, and he had also acquired a cultivation technique for the soul. With careful study, advancing to the Spirit Realm soul realm seemed within reach. If he could advance to the eighth-grade alchemist, he would be a rare talent across the entire continent!
Back then, even winning the Pill Gathering wouldn't have been too difficult. After winning the Pill Gathering, there was the Three Thousand Burning Flames, ranked ninth on the Strange Flame Ranking! Even Xiao Yan couldn't suppress his burning excitement in the face of such temptation! Back then, the Burning Technique he cultivated was only at the low Yellow Rank, but now it seemed that as long as he got his hands on the Three Thousand Burning Flames, the Burning Technique could evolve to the Heaven Rank. This was just a fantasy he had ten years ago!
The atmosphere at the scene didn't dampen at all after all the Cliff Gang's items were sold, because everyone present knew: the show was only half over! The auction items, after all, were provided by the forces behind the Cliff Gang, so there was a basic limit. But when it came to the private transactions, it all depended on the preparedness of those present. Anyone who could be there was definitely not an ordinary entity, and with a bit of luck, some truly extraordinary items might be revealed!
Inside the most prominent room, number two, stood an elderly man with red hair, dressed in hemp clothing. His aura was restrained, yet a faint pressure of battle qi emanated from him. The old man looked weary, his eyes filled with self-reproach and anxiety. While waiting, he murmured softly, "Fire, no matter the cost, Father will ensure your safety!"
