Physical Examination

Xiao Yan is not stupid. He went to college in his previous life. He is not like a certain reckless man named Lin who mistook three characters for five characters. This President Fa Ma wanted the Xiao family to owe him a favor. He didn't like the compensation given by the Xiao family when they asked him to treat his illness before. Now that the Xiao family has a Xiao Ling, he wants to get close to them.

"I see. With your cousin Xiao Ling examining you, there's no need for Guild Master Fa Ma to take action. My great-grandfather told me that Master Xiao Ling's alchemy skills are even higher than Gu He's. Maybe he can cure you in time." Yaoyue replied, touching his chin.

"But since you appear in front of this princess, I would like to see what your strange physique is like. After all, I am the most talented alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire besides Master Xiao Ling. I was able to refine third-grade pills when I was twelve years old. Maybe I can find some clues about your body." As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Yue appeared in front of Xiao Yan and looked him up and down with curious eyes.

Xiao Yan's cultivation was only at the third level of Dou Qi at the moment, so he naturally couldn't react in time. When he saw Yao Yue suddenly appear, he was so scared that he took a step back.

Hearing that Yao Yue wanted to help him check his body, Xiao Yan didn't really believe that Yao Yue had this ability. Even her teacher couldn't find the abnormality in his physique, so how could Yao Yue, as a student, detect it? However, considering that she was a little princess of the royal family, Xiao Yan still planned to cooperate with her request, so he asked: "Then may I ask Your Highness, how can I cooperate with you?"

Hearing that Xiao Yan agreed to her proposal, Yao Yue nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the grass beside her, and said in an impatient tone: "Sit on the grass and adjust your body to the best condition. I will check your physical condition."

After hearing Yao Yue's arrangement, Xiao Yan did not refute and sat on the grass.

Yao Yue released her soul power and began to look Xiao Yan's physical condition up and down.

Feeling a strange feeling spreading throughout his body, Xiao Yan felt as if he was naked and seen by everyone, and his old face couldn't help but blush.

However, seeing Yao Yue's serious look, Xiao Yan stopped his wild thoughts and quickly calmed down.

After a while, Yao Yue at the side shook her head and said helplessly: "I carefully checked your physical condition and found that not only are you not sick, but your tendons and veins are as strong as those of ordinary Dou Zhe. I think it's because you have broken through to the Dou Zhe level before. If you can restore your cultivation talent, the time it takes to cultivate to the Dou Zhe level will definitely be much faster than your previous cultivation. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any pills that can assist cultivation with Dou Qi, otherwise you can quickly recover to your previous level by taking pills."

Xiao Yan scratched his head. He didn't expect to get such good news. Although Master Qie Mi Er said that there was nothing wrong with his body, he didn't mention anything about the condition of his tendons and veins. He didn't know whether he didn't notice it or was just too lazy to mention it.

Maybe Xiao Ling's cousin has some pills that can be used in the Dou Qi stage. If he can take the pills to restore his cultivation, it would be much easier than simply practicing.

After a short pause, Yao Yue said again: "You start practicing now and let me check how your Dou Qi disappears."

Nodding, Xiao Yan formed a hand seal for cultivation, and the Dou Qi in his body began to circulate.

Strands of pale white air flowed from the air into Xiao Yan's body, entered his tendons and veins, and began to circulate according to the method of cultivating Dou Qi.

Just when those pale white air currents were about to circulate in Xiao Yan's body, the black ancient ring on the finger suddenly flashed a white light without Xiao Yan and Yao Yue noticing, and the Dou Qi that was about to be absorbed disappeared.  

Feeling the familiar situation happening to him, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. He looked at Yao Yue who was stroking her chin in thought and asked curiously, "Princess, do you notice anything wrong?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Yue did not answer directly, but said: "You continue to practice, I was not concentrating just now."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only continue to do as he was told. He didn't have any friends in the Xiao family anyway, and he couldn't practice now. It would be nice to chat with the little princess.

Making the cultivation hand seal once again, Xiao Yan began to absorb the pale white gas in the air again, attempting to refine it in his body.

However, whenever those pale white things were about to be refined by Xiao Yan, they seemed to disappear out of thin air and no trace was left.

"No, no, I was distracted just now. Try again."

"It's only a little bit off this time. I'll find the problem soon. Try it again."

"I was a little tired this time. I will definitely find it next time. Let's try again..."

...

In the neat and tidy room, the scarlet medicine cauldron was slowly spinning in midair, with golden flames violently swirling in it. As the scarlet cauldron was spinning, the space around it was constantly emitting waves of continuous tiny energy ripples. These energy ripples were centered in a circle, gradually spreading out in all directions, and when they were about to touch the wall, they quietly disappeared...

Inside the cauldron with billowing flames, a thumb-sized pale purple pill prototype was slowly taking shape as the flame burned it. At a certain moment, a deep purple pill fragrance suddenly emanated from the cauldron, filling the room and lingering for a long time.

The fragrance of pill wafts through the air, which is basically a sign that a high-level pill is about to take shape. As long as it isn't long, this sixth-grade Breaking Adversity Pill will be successfully refined.

Xiao Ling did not leave a backup plan in the Pill like Xiao Yan in the original novel. First, this was a transaction, and as an Alchemist, Xiao Ling did not intend to violate professional ethics. Second, even if Hai Bodong recovered his Dou Huang combat power and wanted to snatch the half of the incomplete map, Xiao Ling was confident that he could subdue him. Xiao Yan was only a Dou Shi at the time, and if Yao Chen took action, it would consume a lot of soul power.

With a wave of his hand, red-gold flames suddenly surged up from within the medicine cauldron. In a flash, it completely enveloped the purple pill prototype and began the final round of fierce burning.

The red-gold flame only rose for the blink of an eye before it quickly extinguished. As the flame extinguished, a thumb-sized, light purple, round pill emitting a faint luster spun around and appeared in the medicine cauldron.
