When Xiao Yan enters Qingshan Town, it means that the map of Qingshan Town is lit up, and the system mechanism enters the trigger phase.
However, Chen Yang did not expect that he could trigger the relevant mechanism in this small town of Qingshan.
[The strongest weapon in Green Mountain Town has been detected as Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Ruler. The host has obtained the Rainbow Sword!]
The system's triggering mechanism did not end there; even the Xuanzhong Ruler that Xiao Yan was carrying was taken into account.
"It seems that the Xuanzhong Ruler was also passed down to Xiao Yan by Yao Lao."
"But these Nine Yang Divine Body and Rainbow Sword sound a bit familiar!"
Chen Yang looked up at the sky, feeling the changes that were gradually occurring within his body.
First, his affinity for fire-attribute battle qi has greatly increased. The energy that fills the world under the blazing sun seems to be frantically drilling into his body as if he were seeing a beautiful woman. His two-star battle spirit cultivation, which had not changed for a year and a half, has actually begun to loosen.
"If you cultivate step by step, you can advance to the three-star Dou Ling level within three days?"
Chen Yang was suddenly startled by this unexpected feeling. Was the Nine Yang Divine Body really that terrifying?
However, upon careful consideration, Chen Yang realized that Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, in the original story, allowed her to become a Dou Zong powerhouse in about five years. If a physique stronger than Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body could not break through one star in three days, then it truly could not be considered stronger!
"And this Rainbow Sword!"
Chen Yang reached out and touched his storage ring. Instantly, a sword somewhat similar to Rainbow Cat's Rainbow Sword from "Rainbow Blue" appeared in his hand.
The sword was extremely heavy in his hand; even as a two-star Dou Ling, he felt it was a bit too heavy.
Chen Yang reached for his sword, but was unable to pull it from its sheath.
"Hey?"
"Is this sword something that can only be drawn by someone you have a special love for?"
Chen Yang chuckled and then put it into his storage ring. This sword was undoubtedly a good one. Xiao Yan used the Xuanzhong Ruler even when he reached the Dou Sheng level, and he was not at a disadvantage at all. This Changhong Sword was even stronger than the Xuanzhong Ruler. In theory, it could be used at least until the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level, or even the Dou Di level.
"What a fine treasure!"
Chen Yang sighed, feeling a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).
In fact, in the early stages of Battle Through the Heavens, Chen Yang was far ahead of Xiao Yan in terms of strength, except for scanning the entire map. In other aspects, Xiao Yan could only surpass him by scanning Xiao Yang.
Before Xiao Yan entered the Ancient Clan Ancient Realm, Chen Yang was able to scan many things that Xiao Yan was far ahead of this map. These included the previous "Eight Extremes Collapse", the current Xuan Heavy Ruler, the "Flame Dividing Wave Ruler" after entering the Monster Mountain Range, and the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.
Only when Xiao Yan enters the Ancient Clan and he scans Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame will he be able to completely surpass Xiao Yan in terms of Strange Flames. After all, even if he has fused many kinds of Strange Flames, he still cannot compare with the third-ranked person on the Strange Flame Ranking.
Therefore, Chen Yang was not interested in the map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame at all. When Xiao Yan obtained the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, he was already a Dou Di. Where in the Dou Qi Continent could he not go?
While pondering, Xiao Yan walked into the Wan Yao Zhai under the scorching sun, carrying a huge black ruler on his back.
After obtaining the Blood Lotus Essence, Xiao Yan went straight out and found an inn to stay at.
For Xiao Yan, the purpose of this trip was to go deeper into the Magical Beast Mountain Range and visit the pharmacy in Qingshan Town. It was just out of curiosity for him as an alchemist. Of course, the Little Fairy Doctor in the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall was also quite pretty.
However, Xiao Yan had a feeling that he should never offend Little Fairy Doctor. Moreover, he heard that behind the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall stood a Great Dou Master, and Little Fairy Doctor was also his woman, so Xiao Yan stayed even further away.
Back at the inn, Xiao Yan happily put away the Blood Lotus Essence. Chen Yang also reported that he had obtained a Blood Lotus Marrow, which was even more effective than the Blood Lotus Essence.
"Teacher, the outside world is indeed full of hidden talents. Even in this small town of Qingshan, there are Great Dou Masters." Lying on the bed in the inn, Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao while sitting cross-legged to recover his Dou Qi.
Although the Xuanzhong Ruler can only exert moderate pressure on him now, its effect in suppressing battle qi is outrageous.
"Perhaps so..."
The old doctor chuckled, becoming even more interested in Chen Yang.
Xiao Yan didn't know who was behind Wan Yao Zhai, and most people in Qingshan Town didn't know either. However, with his Heavenly Realm soul power, Yao Lao could easily sense Chen Yang in the backyard of Wan Yao Zhai with a casual sweep, and Chen Yang himself didn't even realize that Yao Lao had discovered him.
However, Yao Lao didn't tell Xiao Yan about this. Chen Yang might have his own purpose in coming to Qingshan Town, and he and Chen Yang didn't have much interaction. The relationship between Xiao Yan and Chen Yang was something they needed to manage themselves. As an old man with no bones left, he shouldn't interfere!
Xiao Yan was already used to Yao Lao's cryptic behavior.
Tomorrow they will enter the Monster Mountain Range. At this moment, Xiao Yan no longer felt the sadness of leaving home for the first time, but was full of anticipation for the adventure that was about to begin.
The three-year agreement is becoming less and less of a constraint on him. His goals have evolved from washing away his shame through the coming-of-age ceremony to being qualified to stand by Xun'er's side, and now to pursuing the unattainable dream of becoming a Dou Di.
"A true Dou Shi is one who aspires to become a Dou Di!"
"Hmm... go to sleep!"
After taking a famous quote from that great emperor on Earth and messing it up, Xiao Yan fell into a deep sleep.
...
Inside the Wan Yao Zhai, Chen Yang triggered another system reward, but he didn't pay it any mind. He didn't need the Blood Lotus Marrow right now, as there was nothing in the fourth-grade pill formula that required it.
After learning that Xiao Yan had arrived, Chen Yang summoned Little Fairy Doctor.
"Chen Yang!"
Relying on his status as an alchemist and a "Grand Master," Chen Yang has been "forcing" Little Fairy Doctor to change her address from "Grand Master" to simply calling him Chen Yang.
The two were not particularly close, but they had also lost some of the distance they had when they first met.
In particular, the meals Chen Yang had been eating these past few days were all prepared by Little Fairy Doctor herself, which added a subtle, almost imperceptible, feeling between the two of them.
"Pack your things, we'll set off for the Monster Mountain Range tomorrow!"
Chen Yang looked at Little Fairy Doctor and gave her some advice with a smile.
"Okay! Got it!"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded, her little face showing little expression.
The girl was ultimately wary of Chen Yang.
Chen Yang didn't mind. Trust is something that's hard to build, and the women he was going to choose weren't particularly trustworthy.
Yafei grew up in the Mittel family and was accustomed to the deceit and treachery between the family and the business world.
Little Fairy Doctor has experienced the destruction of her family and the loss of her loved ones. If you could fully trust him, he wouldn't be Little Fairy Doctor.
While good modeling is one thing, winning a girl's heart requires spending time with her.
...
In the evening, Chen Yang ate the food prepared by Little Fairy Doctor as usual. Naturally, it was not as good as the professional chefs at the Mittel Auction House, but it contained some ingredients unique to the area near the Monster Mountain Range. Chen Yang, who had just graduated from high school not long ago, was not too picky about what he ate.
The next day, Chen Yang and Little Fairy Doctor embarked on a journey to the Monster Mountain Range to search for treasure.
As the forest grew denser and the town of Qingshan behind him shrank, Chen Yang heard the system notification again:
[Ding!]
[The strongest creature detected in the eastern region of the Monster Mountain Range is the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King, a sixth-tier magical beast, roughly equivalent to a four- or five-star Dou Huang. The host's strength has increased to a seven-star Dou Huang!]
"Buzz..."
The changes that only Chen Yang could sense suddenly occurred within his body. The original sea urchin-shaped battle crystal had transformed into a round battle crystal, and the immense battle energy made him feel as if he could destroy half a city at any moment.
The feeling of being able to fly at any moment made Chen Yang truly realize that he was now a true Dou Huang powerhouse...
