Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 25: Gathering Qi

"Alas! It's a pity that I still haven't reached the level of Fighter!" Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

Xiao Yan just sighed when he was hit on the head. Then Yao Lao's speechless voice came: "You jumped from the third stage of Dou Qi to the ninth stage of Dou Qi in one year, and you are not satisfied. Looking at the entire Dou Qi Continent, there are not many people who can achieve this! And with your current physical strength, even ordinary Dou masters are not your opponent, what else do you want?"

"Don't I want to reach the fighter's cultivation method as soon as possible? And it has been two months since I entered the ninth level of fighting spirit. Isn't this a bit anxious?" Xiao Yan explained in a low voice.

"Well, that's true! If you just practice honestly for at least half a year, you won't be able to reach the level of a fighter." Yao Lao said calmly.

"Right! But has the teacher prepared any skills for me? What level is it?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

"As for martial arts! What grade of martial arts do you want?" Yao Lao said jokingly.

"Of course the higher the level the better, preferably heavenly level." Xiao Yan said casually.

"Heavenly Rank? Do you think Heavenly Rank techniques are easy to come by? But I have a technique that surpasses Heavenly Rank. Are you interested?" Yao Lao stared at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

"Of course I have, show it to me." Xiao Yan knew that Yao Lao was talking about the Burning Art, and said hurriedly. He had long wanted to see this mysterious Burning Art, but he was afraid of being suspected by Yao Lao, so he had been holding back.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Train to become a fighter first." Yao Lao deliberately left Xiao Yan alone.

"Oh, that means we have to wait another half a year! Tomorrow is the family's annual test." Xiao Yan said anxiously.

"Hehe! It's not difficult to break through to the Fighter level. There should be a lot of gold coins left from the three auctions! Go buy four fifty-year-old black-leaf lotuses, two ripe snake saliva fruits, a twenty-year-old spirit gathering grass, and a second-level water magic core. I will help you refine a Qi Gathering Powder, and I guarantee that you will break through to the Fighter level immediately." Yao Lao said with a chuckle.

"Ha! Ha! I'll go right now, right now!" Xiao Yan jumped up when he heard that Yao Lao was willing to refine the Qi Gathering Powder for him. Although Xiao Yan had hinted several times in the past two months, Yao Lao just pretended not to hear and played it by the nose. Now that he was finally willing to help refine it, Xiao Yan was naturally very happy. As for the money needed for the Qi Gathering Powder, it was nothing! Now he could announce to the public that he, Xiao Yan, was a millionaire.

Xiao Yan quickly put on his clothes, took a long step forward, and quickly went down the mountain and headed straight for the Miter Auction House.

Just as they reached the middle of the mountain, Xiao Yan hurriedly stopped the car and said to Yao Lao: "Teacher, can I start refining medicine after I enter the Fighter level?"

Facing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Lao was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Why are you so impatient?"

"Of course, that means becoming an alchemist! Alchemist is such a sacred profession, how can I not be anxious?" Xiao Yan said with a pout.

"Then you can buy an extra medicine cauldron as a preparation in advance. As for the pills for practicing... they are nothing more than these few simple pill recipes. I will tell you directly now!" After Yao Lao finished speaking, he lightly touched Xiao Yan's brow with his finger and passed the pill recipe to Xiao Yan.

After receiving the recipe, Xiao Yan took a quick look at it and then quickly ran down the mountain again.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered the auction house, he was warmly received. How could he not be warm? Xiao Yan was now their big sponsor. The three auctions not only enhanced the reputation of the Miter Auction House, but also earned a large amount of gold coins.

Xiao Yan only waited for a short while before Ya Fei hurried over. She was sweating a little and looked even more attractive. "Are you here to auction today, old man? Or are you buying herbs?" Ya Fei asked softly.

"Haha, this time I came here mainly to buy some medicinal herbs." Yao Lao said with a chuckle.

"Please tell me, old sir. I'll have someone prepare it right away." Yafei responded hurriedly.

"I need four fifty-year-old black-leaf lotuses, two ripe snake saliva fruits, a twenty-year-old spirit gathering grass, and a second-level water-attributed magic core. I need them today." Yao Lao said softly.

"Okay, I'll take someone to the warehouse to see if there are any of these herbs. If there are, I'll bring them directly to the old man." Ya Fei chuckled and turned around and walked out. Facing this old man, Ya Fei did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. He had seen how powerful this old man was.

After the second auction, the news that the Miter Auction House in Wutan City was holding an auction of the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid was also known to other cities. For a time, there was a lot of commotion, and major forces from other cities also rushed to inquire whether there was any more Foundation Building Spirit Liquid to be auctioned.

Ya Fei was so annoyed by the questions from those people that her ears were callused, but she didn't dare to offend them at all and could only greet them with a smile. She also wanted to know when the old man would appear again, but the old man was elusive and could not be found at all. Although she wanted to find out about the old man, she stopped herself abruptly. After seeing the terrifying nature of the alchemist, she was even more afraid to offend the mysterious old man.

It was not until more than a month later that Xiao Yan came to the auction house again with ten bottles of foundation-building spirit liquid. Ya Fei was almost crying. If it were not for the old man's identity, she would have gone up to hug him.

When they heard that it could improve the speed of practicing Dou Qi, the major families in other cities naturally couldn't sit still. Wutan City could only be considered a second-rate city in the entire Jiama Empire. There were many forces stronger than the three major families in Wutan City, so the auction price would naturally be higher. Compared with money, they would rather their descendants be far ahead, so they started to roll up their sleeves.

Ten bottles of foundation-building spirit liquid were sold at sky-high prices, with each bottle selling for more than 150,000 gold coins. With the proceeds from the auction, plus the gold coins Xiao Yan already had, Xiao Yan now had more than two million gold coins.

After the auction, everyone asked Ya Fei about the source of the foundation-building spirit liquid, but Ya Fei kept silent. If the mysterious old man was offended and he made some pills for the big forces, not only would the Mitel Auction House suffer, but even the Mitel family would probably be affected.

When Ya Fei went out to help Yao Lao prepare the herbs, Gu Ni followed him out. Ya Fei turned to look at Gu Ni, who looked a little serious, and asked softly, "Master Gu Ni, what's wrong?"

"Do you know what kind of elixir the old gentleman just asked for with the medicinal herbs?" Gu Ni asked in a deep voice.

"Oh? What kind of elixir are you refining?" Ya Fei asked doubtfully. She knew nine out of ten things about refining medicine, but she knew nothing about it.

"It is the material for refining the fourth-grade elixir, the Qi Gathering Powder." Gu Ni replied softly.

"Doesn't that mean..." Yafei was slightly surprised.

"He is at least a fourth-rank alchemist, or even higher. But how could these alchemists appear in a small place like Wutan City?" Gu Ni was a little confused.

"Fortunately, I didn't offend him! Let's quickly prepare the medicinal materials for this old gentleman!" Ya Fei said with lingering fear.
