Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 5 Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid
After the storm, Xiao Yan returned to his room, closed the door, and placed the herbs on the table.

Yao Lao floated out of the ring at this time and said jokingly: "Are you back from shopping with your girlfriend?"

"What little girlfriend? Xun'er is so young!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"Hehe, fourteen years old is not young anymore, it's the age when one starts to fall in love. I see that girl has fallen in love with you, you are so lucky!" Yao Lao said with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just treat her as my sister." Because of the influence of later generations, Xiao Yan has always treated Xun'er as a minor. At her age, she would have just graduated from junior high school in our place.

"Really?" Yao Lao asked with a smile.

"Of course it's true." Xiao Yan said firmly.

Seeing that Xiao Yan refused to admit it, Yao Lao just said lightly: "It's not easy to get her, even if she is willing. Her family..." After mentioning the family, Yao Lao stopped talking.

Although Yao Lao didn't finish what he said, how could Xiao Yan not know it? Even Dou Huang was just a soldier in the eyes of those people! Dou Zun and Dou Sheng were almost the same. As for whether he really had feelings for Xiao Xun'er? He didn't know it yet, but he knew that if Xun'er was hugged by someone else one day, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Yao Lao no longer paid attention to Xiao Yan who was in a daze. He picked up the herbs on the table and ordered Xiao Yan, "Go and prepare a large basin of water first." Seeing that Yao Lao seemed to be about to start refining the medicine, Xiao Yan happily went to prepare it.

In the quiet room, Yao Lao picked up the Purple Night Orchid with his left hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a white flame appeared on his left palm again, swallowing the Purple Night Orchid... The flame was surging, and the Purple Night Orchid turned into a ball of green liquid almost instantly...

When all three purple night orchids have been refined into green liquid, continue to use the hot flame to calcine the impurities contained in them until all the impurities are calcined away.

Next, Yao Lao threw two more bone-cleansing plants into the flames, burned them with the flames, and then melted them into the green liquid...

Finally, it was time to refine the magic core. The magic core was the most difficult of the three herbs to refine. It took more than an hour to burn in the fire before the magic core was burned into a ball of light green liquid. This ball of light green liquid was melted into the green liquid that had just been refined, and the two gradually merged.

The white flame in the palm of his hand disappeared, and a drop of liquid the color of emerald green was suspended in the palm of Yao Lao's hand.

Looking at the drop of emerald liquid, Xiao Yan was secretly amazed. He didn't expect that the magic core with such violent energy would become unusually gentle after being neutralized by the two materials.

"Haha, the so-called medicine refining, in fact, the core material is still the magic core. The process of refining medicine is to continuously use medicinal materials of other properties to neutralize the magic core until it becomes a pill that can be taken."

Yao Lao casually took out a small jade bottle and poured the foundation-building spiritual liquid into it.

“Teacher’s alchemy skills are truly astonishing! Alchemy is as easy as drinking water! Even the sixth-rank alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire, Dan Wang Gu He, is nothing compared to you!” Xiao Yan rubbed his hands and said with a smile on his face.

"Stop flattering me! Although what you said is true! A sixth-grade alchemist is really nothing in my eyes." Although Yao Laobiao said not to flatter me, he was actually quite happy in his heart. With a flick of his finger, a small drop of emerald liquid fell from the bottle into the basin of clear water in the room. Suddenly, the basin of clear water turned green.

"From now on, you will practice in it. With your natural talent, it is not a problem to improve your fighting spirit by several levels a year." Yao Lao said with a smile.

"Teacher, with this foundation-building spirit liquid, can I reach the level of a fighter within a year?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the green liquid in the wooden basin. "With the help of the foundation-building spirit liquid, it will be no problem for you to reach the seventh level of fighting spirit within a year, but it will be a bit difficult to reach the level of a fighter. Why are you so anxious to become a fighter? You don't seem to be that impatient! Besides, there are still two years before the family's coming-of-age ceremony." Yao Lao said with some doubt.

"This... I have my own reasons." Xiao Yan said with a wry smile. Should he tell Yao Lao that Nalan Yanran will come to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement in a year? If he can't reach the level of a fighter within a year, he will just let her insult him without any power to fight back. He will have to wait three years to avenge his previous humiliation. He is not Xiao Yan in the original novel. He can't wait that long. He practiced in advance and kept trying hard. Isn't it because he wants to say to Nalan Yanran when she comes: "Want to cancel the engagement? That's the Xiao family canceling the engagement with the Nalan family."

Seeing that Xiao Yan was unwilling to speak, Yao Lao did not ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own little secrets, right? He stroked his beard and said calmly, "If you want to quickly improve your fighting spirit, there is a way, but you have to suffer a little."

"What's the big deal about suffering? As long as I can quickly improve my strength, that's fine." Xiao Yan said indifferently. Suffering? Didn't he suffer enough before crossing over? Suffering is nothing.

Seeing that Xiao Yan agreed so readily, Yao Lao didn't say anything more.

"If you want to quickly increase your fighting spirit, you have to increase the absorption speed, and the function of fighting spirit is to increase the strength of the flesh and bones. So if you want to increase the efficiency of fighting spirit absorption, the only way is to 'get beaten'. The harder you get beaten, the better the effect.

"Okay! It's just a beating." Xiao Yan nodded in agreement again.

"Well then! It's already late today, you should practice first, and we'll start training tomorrow." Seeing Xiao Yan's firm attitude, Yao Lao gave him an instruction and turned into a ray of white light and drilled into the ring.

Xiao Yan took off his clothes, sitting naked in the wooden basin, with his hands clasped together, making a strange seal in front of him, slowly closing his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady. As Xiao Yan's chest rose and fell slightly, the green liquid in the wooden basin gradually emitted a light airflow, which was slightly green and slowly climbed up, and finally went along Xiao Yan's mouth and nose and entered his body.

Sensing the rapid increase of Dou Qi in his body, Xiao Yan smiled happily. He sighed in his heart: "The foundation-building spirit liquid is indeed extraordinary. The speed of absorbing Dou Qi is much faster."

After tasting the sweetness, Xiao Yan practiced even harder, greedily absorbing the gentle energy from the green liquid.

The green liquid trickled down Xiao Yan's skin pores and into his body, warming his bones and tendons. As he kept taking it, more and more air flowed out of the basin. In the end, it even enveloped his entire body.

The practice continued until the next day, when the sun shone through the window. Feeling the warmth of the sun, Xiao Yan knew that the day had dawned, and he slowly inhaled the last wisp of air in the wooden basin into his body. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment, his dark eyes suddenly opened.

The white light flashed in the black pupils as usual, but this time it was slightly tinged with light blue.

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, blinked his eyes, and slowly stood up. The cold water dripped down his body, and he stretched lazily. Feeling the fighting spirit filling his body, he said intoxicatedly, "It feels so good!"

"Feel great, right? If you feel great, let's start training!" An old voice suddenly sounded in my heart.

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, then picked up the dry towel beside him and wiped himself briefly. After getting dressed and eating something, he headed straight to the family's back mountain...

After Xiao Yan left, Xun'er, who came to deliver meals every day, came over. She knocked on the door, and when there was no response, she gently pushed the door open. After entering, she found that Xiao Yan was not there, and there was a fragrance in the air. The knowledgeable Xun'er immediately realized that this was something that could help people quickly improve their fighting spirit. She looked at the wooden basin in the corner of the room and murmured with a chuckle, "It seems that Brother Xiao Yan really has a lot of secrets!"
