Moreover, Xiao Yi could perceive it!
The five-colored pill thunder was originally extremely pure lightning energy, yet after being refined and tempered by that Cultivation Technique! It was actually able to merge into the originally fire-attributed Dou Qi within Xiao Yi's body.
This allowed the Dou Qi possessed by Xiao Yi, besides the fire-attributed Dou Qi suitable for refining Medicinal Pills which contained a trace of wood attribute, to also possess lightning-attributed Dou Qi!
Furthermore, the lightning-attributed Dou Qi did not conflict with his previous Dou Qi. That is to say, the lightning-attributed Dou Qi brought by the five-colored pill thunder would not affect Xiao Yi's alchemy!
Feeling the tremendous change in the Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh:
"Is this the Cultivation Technique personally created by the Dou Emperor Old Ancestor!"
"It truly is terrifying!"
However, at this moment, Xuan Kongzi and the others saw that Xiao Yi, who had been rapidly descending in mid-air, had suddenly stabilized his figure again.
They couldn't help but exclaim:
"This kid, is his Physical Body so terrifying!"
"He can actually absorb the five-colored pill thunder!"
"Our Pill Tower has truly picked up a treasure today!"
At this moment, among the crowd, everyone except Song Qing, who wore a look of discomfort, was filled with joy.
However, Xiao Yi could clearly sense that the power within his body was truly abundant!
It could be said that he had completely broken through the Bottleneck, and if he didn't immediately attempt a Breakthrough on the spot, there might be danger!
Therefore, Xiao Yi did not think much, and immediately sat down cross-legged in the Void Realm!
A Breakthrough on the spot!
And Xuan Kongzi saw Xiao Yi's actions in the Void Realm, and sensed the extremely unstable aura within Xiao Yi's body!
He instantly understood that Xiao Yi was about to achieve a Breakthrough!
In just the span of a single breath, Xuan Kongzi made a decision!
He immediately ordered everyone irrelevant present to retreat!
And he personally constructed a Small World, enveloping both Xiao Yi and the bone-regenerating blood-melting pill he had just refined beneath his feet!
He was protecting the Dao for Xiao Yi's Breakthrough!
After all, a Genius of Xiao Yi's age would inevitably attract jealousy from those with impure intentions!
And the Breakthrough process was the most vulnerable time, so he had to be carefully guarded!
After all, according to the previous agreement, successfully refining the Medicinal Pill and becoming an Grade 8 Alchemist meant he belonged to the Pill Tower!
As one of the Dan Ta Three Giants on the surface, and the president of the Alchemist Association, Xuan Kongzi naturally would not allow any accident to happen to Xiao Yi at this moment!
And at this moment, Xiao Yi possessed the Dou Emperor's pure bloodline within him!
Coupled with the Cultivation Technique he Cultivated, which was already the Emperor-level Cultivation Technique personally inherited from Emperor Xiao!
A Dou Zun level Breakthrough was just a piece of cake for Xiao Yi...
Therefore, Xiao Yi very quickly absorbed the extremely unstable energy within his body and stabilized his aura!
... After an unknown amount of time, a majestic aura erupted from the Void Realm Small World constructed by Xuan Kongzi, directly shattering the space!
Xiao Yi slowly stepped out from within!
His aura was no longer that of a Two-Star Dou Zun, but a Four-Star Dou Zun!
Compared to before, because the Emperor-level Cultivation Technique helped Xiao Yi absorb the five-colored pill thunder, Xiao Yi also possessed lightning-attributed Dou Qi within his body!
Therefore, although Xiao Yi was only a Four-Star Dou Zun at this moment, the aura he displayed was even more powerful and domineering!
But that aura merely flashed before being hidden by the qiankun storage ring on his finger...
Xuan Kongzi, watching from afar, nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Xiao Yi successfully achieve a Breakthrough.
"Four-Star Dou Zun..."
"This Little Fellow is quite remarkable... He actually jumped two levels..."
"But why did his aura disappear so quickly? Even I can't sense it..."
Although Xuan Kongzi was puzzled, he did not delve into it.
He simply smiled slightly, gently raised his hand, and guided the bone-regenerating blood-melting pill in front of Xiao Yi, speaking softly:
"Congratulations, Alias Little Fellow, on successfully passing the assessment to become an Grade 8 Alchemist..."
"Starting today, certified by the Pill Tower, Alias is an Grade 8 Alchemist!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi flashed and appeared before Xuan Kongzi, cupping his hands and saying: "Thank you, Senior..."
Xuan Kongzi waved his hand and said: "It's nothing..."
"This assessment was passed entirely based on your own strength..."
"According to the previous agreement, you used your own strength to refine this Medicinal Pill and pass the assessment..."
"Thus, this Medicinal Pill naturally belongs to you..."
After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he placed the bone-regenerating blood-melting pill into a brocade box capable of hiding the pill's fragrance, and handed it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi did not stand on ceremony, accepting the brocade box with both hands and placing it into his storage ring.
After all, this bone-regenerating blood-melting pill was essential for the current Xiao Yi!
After all, there were too many Souls around Xiao Yi that needed this Medicinal Pill to be resurrected...
"Thank you, Senior..."
"Not only for gifting the Medicinal Pill, but also for sincerely protecting the Dao during this Junior's Breakthrough, this kindness, this Junior will engrave in his heart..."
Xiao Yi bowed and cupped his hands again in gratitude.
Xuan Kongzi slowly stepped forward, helped Xiao Yi up, and said with a smile:
"Alias Little Fellow, there is no need to be so polite..."
"According to the previous agreement, the Medicinal Pill is yours, and you are also willing to join the Pill Tower..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi showed a hint of difficulty.
After all, he had only agreed to this arrangement before in order to obtain medicinal ingredients and refine the Medicinal Pill!
Although joining the Pill Tower was the dream of countless Alchemists, for Xiao Yi, this might become a restriction...
"Senior..."
"This Junior is naturally willing to join the Pill Tower, but this Junior has one presumptuous request..."
After a moment of thought, Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice.
Xuan Kongzi nodded: "Just say it."
Xiao Yi: "This Junior is willing to join the Pill Tower, but I hope Senior can grant this Junior three years..."
"After three years, this Junior will definitely report to the Pill Tower!"
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi's brow moved slightly:
"Three years?"
Xuan Kongzi also looked very seriously at the extremely rare Genius before him, and his appreciation for talent was stirred:
"Very well..."
"Your talent is truly heaven-defying! This Venerable will grant you three years..."
"However, today, this Venerable extends an invitation to you here, hoping that you can first serve as an Honorary Elder of my Pill Tower!"
"But, Alias Little Fellow, rest assured, this is merely a title and will not restrict your freedom..."
"Furthermore, with this status, you can mobilize the Alchemist Guilds across the rest of the continent, which might be helpful to you during these three years..."
"Three years from now, I hope to still see you at the Pill Tower..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned!
He had thought his request would be somewhat difficult.
But he never expected that Xuan Kongzi would not only agree but also grant him such an honor!
Xiao Yi's expression was deeply moved, and he said softly:
"Junior thanks Senior here!"
"Three years from now, this Junior will certainly report to the Pill Tower!"
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi's face was also full of smiles.
Immediately, Xuan Kongzi gave a gentle wave, and an exclusive robe for an Grade 8 Alchemist, an Grade 8 Alchemist badge, and a token for an Honorary Elder of the Pill Tower appeared before Xiao Yi.
"With this token, you can move unimpeded throughout Holy Pill City, and even the Pill Tower..." Xuan Kongzi smiled slightly, looking at Xiao Yi as he spoke softly.
Xiao Yi collected the items into his storage ring and thanked Xuan Kongzi again.
After the two exchanged simple pleasantries, Xiao Yi retreated to rest...
And Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yi's departing figure and couldn't help but murmur softly: "Yao Chen..."
"After all these years, I have once again encountered a world-shaking Alchemist Genius..."
"If you were still here, perhaps only you would be qualified to take him as a disciple..."
... And with that Grade 8 Alchemist badge, even without the Honorary Elder token, Xiao Yi, simply by wearing the Alchemist robe... was already an existence revered by everyone in Holy Pill City...
However, just as Xiao Yi was strolling through Holy Pill City... he suddenly sensed a much stronger Soul calling out to him not far outside Holy Pill City...
Perceiving that the Soul calling him held no killing intent, nor was it as eerie as the Souls of the Hun Clan...
Xiao Yi flashed and rushed toward that location...
However, when Xiao Yi stepped out of the Void Realm, he saw a child riding a green ox, smiling as he looked at Xiao Yi...
Yet, Xiao Yi could clearly sense that the terrifying Soul was emanating from this child...
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi was shocked...
Ancestor of the Pill Tower?
