.
Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow slightly; it seemed his luck was quite good this time.
He focused his attention on the several items that had appeared in the system's warehouse and began to review the system descriptions.
["Heavenly Nether Poison Scripture": A primary level, poison-attributed, Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, created by the Heavenly Nether Poison Saint a thousand years ago.]
With a thought, a purple scroll fell into his hand. It faintly emanated a poison. From Xiao Ling's perception, anyone without the strength of a Grand Battle Master would instantly be poisoned and die.
Seeing the author's name, Xiao Ling was somewhat surprised. "A Heavenly Rank cultivation technique with poison-attributes seems quite suitable for Little Medical Immortal. This Heavenly Nether Poison Saint seems to be the creator of the "Heavenly Nether Poison Codex" from the Space Trade Fair in the original novel. That "Heavenly Nether Poison Codex" was eventually obtained by Little Medical Immortal. It seems I have a connection with this Heavenly Nether Poison Saint."
After placing the "Heavenly Nether Poison Scripture" into his storage ring, Xiao Ling continued to review the descriptions of the other items.
[Spirit Clan Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade: One of the keys to the Ancient Emperor's Cave, guarded by the Spirit Clan for generations.]
"The Spirit Clan, presumably, is the ancient race first annihilated by the Soul Palace in the original novel. They're strong, as they boast a Dou Sheng master. Weak, aside from the Xiao Clan, they're the weakest of the eight ancient clans. The entire clan was refined by Void Devouring Flame alone."
Xiao Ling didn't dare remove the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the system space. After all, no one knew if it had any restrictions placed on it. A Dou Sheng's methods were beyond Xiao Ling's reach. If the Spirit Clan discovered it the moment he took it out, Xiao Ling could simply reopen the system. Anyway, as long as the Soul Clan wiped out the Spirit Clan, no one would know the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade's whereabouts.
[Companion Amethyst Source: A fourth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King, upon consuming it, instantly transforms into a fifth-tier demonic beast. The purple fire within it will also be more ferocious than that of other Amethyst Winged Lions that haven't consumed the Companion Amethyst Source.
With a thought, a purple spherical object, roughly the size of Xiao Ling's head, fell into his hand.
"This thing isn't of much use to me right now, but it can be used as a drink for Zi Yan." A
flash of white light appeared in his hand, and Xiao Ling stored the accompanying purple crystal source into his storage ring.
[The Thunder Emperor Sutra: A high-level, heavenly-grade cultivation technique, created by the ancient Thunder Emperor, and the clan-protecting cultivation method of the Thunder Clan
, one of the eight ancient clans.] Xiao Ling's mouth twitched. He had no use for this object, and he didn't dare take it out. He didn't even think about it. It was undoubtedly enshrined in restrictions left by a powerful Thunder Clan Dou Sheng. If he took it out, the Jia Ma Empire would be annihilated in an instant.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ling left the room and headed towards Xiao Yixian's room.
He knocked gently on the door and said, "Xiao Yixian, are you free now? I've prepared two cultivation techniques for you."
At Xiao Ling's knock, Xiao Yixian, who was reading about pharmacology, closed her book and approached with lotus steps.
As they walked, Xiao Yixian said, "I'll be right there."
Moments later, the door opened, and Xiao Ling's delicate face appeared.
A faint smile crossed his face. He pulled two scrolls from his storage ring and handed them to Xiao Yixian. "I prepared these two techniques for you. One is the 'Heavenly Poison Sutra,' a celestial-grade technique with poison attributes, and the other is the 'Taiyi Soul Technique,' a soul-cultivating technique."
Xiao Yixian was now considered one of his own, so Xiao Ling felt it wouldn't be a big deal to hand these things over to her.
As for the 'Taiyi Soul Technique,' Xiao Ling had already given them to Zi Yan and Qing Lin to practice. He had only known Xiao Yixian for a short time, and upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, he had already begun his retreat to achieve a Dou Huang breakthrough.
Accepting the scrolls, Xiao Yixian was somewhat surprised. Celestial-grade techniques and soul-cultivating techniques were priceless treasures on the continent.

Pointing at the "Heavenly Poison Sutra", Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yixian and added, "With your current cultivation level, you are not able to practice the "Heavenly Poison Sutra" for the time being. When your cultivation level is improved, you will be able to switch to practicing this technique. As for the "Taiyi Soul Art", it can improve your soul power. The sooner you practice it, the better. If you are lucky in the future and encounter a strange fire that suits you, you can also become an alchemist after taming it."
Nodding, Xiao Yixian put the two scrolls into the storage ring, and looked at Xiao Ling with gratitude in her eyes, "Thank you, Xiao Ling. If it weren't for you, I really can't imagine what I would become now."
Smiling faintly, Xiao Ling teased, "If you were a man, I wouldn't be so nice to you."
Rolling Xiao Ling's eyes, Xiao Yixian said unhappily, "I knew you had bad intentions..."
The two chatted for a while, and then Xiao Ling left Xiao Yixian's room and gave the companion purple crystal source to Zi Yan.
Sitting in the courtyard pavilion, Xiao Ling took out the alchemy notes Yao Chen had given him and began to peruse them carefully.
In order to reach Dou Huang quickly, Xiao Ling hadn't yet thoroughly read the notes Yao Chen had given him.
Now that Xiao Ling had reached Dou Huang Four Star, his days had become more relaxed.
He perused the notes, absorbing the profound knowledge with rapt attention.
He couldn't help but marvel at Yao Chen's extraordinary mastery of alchemy, even as a peak eighth-grade alchemist.
Xiao Ling felt like a beginner compared to Yao Chen. Only by learning more could he realize his own shortcomings.
Just then, Yao Chen appeared before Xiao Ling, stroking his beard. Yao Chen smiled and said, "I'm free right now. Would you like me to teach you some alchemy?"
"That would be great!" Xiao Ling said excitedly, a glint of anticipation in his eyes. Since reaching the sixth rank of alchemist, Xiao Ling has devoted himself to studying alchemy. Now, with the guidance of Yao Chen, the continent's foremost alchemist, his skills are sure to rapidly improve.
Yao Chen smiled and nodded, leading Xiao Ling to a quiet training room. The room was filled with precious medicinal herbs and alchemy instruments. This was probably the room Yao Chen used when he was refining elixirs at the Xiao family.
Over the next few hours, Yao Chen meticulously shared his experience and techniques, while Xiao Ling listened intently, constantly asking questions and experimenting.
Over time, Xiao Ling's alchemy skills gradually improved, his understanding of medicinal properties deepened, his control of the strange fire became more proficient, and Yao Chen even pointed out some previously unnoticed bad habits.
Time slipped by quietly, and before he knew it, several hours had passed.
"That's all for today. You should understand it well," Yao Chen said, looking at Xiao Ling and smiling.
After retrieving the strange fire from the medicine cauldron, Xiao Ling bowed respectfully to Yao Chen, "Thank you, Master Yao, for your guidance."
The two chatted for a while longer before Xiao Ling left the training room and headed for his own room.
Looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, Xiao Ling muttered, "I wonder what the difference is between the moon on this Dou Qi Continent and the one in my past life. When I'm strong enough, I'll definitely go up and take a look."
