Chapter 5: Rewards Are Exploding Again

Chapter 5: Rewards Are Exploding Again

The crowd parted, and a pale young man in luxurious clothes walked out, looking at Xiao Xun'er with a fiery gaze.

"Ah!"

Just as the young man wanted to speak again, a jade stick appeared in front of him, and he screamed as he was sent flying. His lackeys quickly ran out to catch him but failed.

"Hey, isn't this Master Jia Lie Ao? Aren't you also a Dou Zhe? How come you can't even take a blow from my dog-beating stick? Is it because you spent all your Dou Qi on a woman's belly, and it has become soft?" Xiao Tian said, walking to Xiao Xun'er with a smile as he looked down at Jia Lie Ao, who was lying on the ground.

"Xiao Tian, don't think you can be arrogant just because you've become a Dou Zhe. Be careful, or you will end up like your brother—his Dou Qi will start to disappear after he becomes a Dou Zhe!" Jia Lie Ao got up from the ground and pointed angrily at Xiao Tian.

"You don't have to worry about that. You should worry about yourself now!" Xiao Tian said as he twirled the dog-beating stick in his hand.

After hearing Xiao Tian's words, Jia Lie Ao's fists creaked as he stared at him with a gloomy expression. Seeing their master's ugly face, the subordinates behind him cleverly dispersed and surrounded Xiao Tian and Xiao Xun'er, their intentions ill.

Looking at Jia Lie Ao's subordinates surrounding him, Xiao Tian said to Xiao Xun'er, "Protect yourself!"

Xiao Tian directly attached lightning to the dog-beating stick and used it to bless his feet, creating phantoms.

After a while, Xiao Tian stopped, stuck the dog-beating stick into the ground, clapped his hands, and said, "No one can fight."

Jia Lie Ao and his men lay on the ground, howling, obviously due to being electrocuted. Even Jia Lie Ao, a one-star Dou Zhe, was knocked down by Xiao Tian's abnormal strength.

At this moment, a shout came from the crowd: "Who dares to cause trouble in Xiao Family's Market?"

Uncle Payne rushed over quickly with a large group of guards. Seeing Xiao Tian and a group of people lying on the ground howling, he approached and asked, "Third Young Master, what happened?"

"Nothing happened. It's just that someone wanted to cause trouble in the Xiao Family's Market and molest a decent girl. I beat him up. Uncle Payne, please arrange for someone to 'send' them back to the Jia Lie family's territory so as not to affect everyone's business here," Xiao Tian answered with a smile.

After Payne responded, he arranged for several of his men to carry Jia Lie Ao and throw him out of the imitation city. When they were lifting Jia Lie Ao, Xiao Tian remembered that he had a bracelet with a first-level magic core, so he searched for the bracelet and took it in his hand before putting it back into the system space.

After seeing Payne take care of these matters, Xiao Tian threw the dog-beating stick and a bag of gold coins to Payne, saying, "If Jia Lie Ao causes trouble again in the future, use this dog-beating stick to hit him hard. As for the 100 gold coins, I will treat everyone to drinks and meals."

After watching Payne take the purse and the jade stick, Xiao Tian took Xiao Xun'er's hand and prepared to leave. However, when he noticed a handsome young man in the distance, whose eyes occasionally revealed a hint of obscenity, he watched as the young man's hand reached into the clothes of the maid next to him without any regard for the people around. Xiao Tian took a closer look at this person—wasn't this the alchemist Liu Xi who plotted against Xun'er in the original book? Why did he appear now?

Xiao Xun'er saw Xiao Tian staring at a certain spot and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xiao Tian?"

"Nothing, just a casual look," Xiao Tian replied, thinking that it might be a butterfly effect, but he decided it didn't matter. He could find a time to get rid of him.

After this interruption, having already shopped for a long time, the two of them felt no desire to continue shopping, so they went straight back to the Xiao family. When they returned to Xun'er's yard, Xiao Tian looked at the woman's bracelet in his hand—the one rewarded by the system. Xiao Xun'er was stunned when she saw the bracelet Xiao Tian took out. He raised the bracelet to her, and she suddenly seemed dazed, so he said, "Do you want it? If not, I will take it back."

Xiao Xun'er immediately reached out and grabbed the bracelet when she heard it. After getting it, her face turned red as she remembered that she had seemed too eager just now. After adjusting her breathing, Xiao Xun'er put it on her white wrist and said delicately, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Tian."

Xiao Tian pinched the girl's slightly red cheek and said, "This bracelet has a calming effect. Wearing it at ordinary times is beneficial for cultivation. Okay, you go back first, practice well, and strive to break through to a Dou Zhe as soon as possible."

The girl, startled by the boy's intimate behavior, ran away like a startled rabbit, saying in a broken tone, "Then I... will go back first."

Watching the girl walk away, he passed by Xiao Yan's courtyard and found that he had returned. He should be practicing at this time, intending to wait until night when no one was around to start refining the foundation-building spirit liquid. Xiao Tian didn't think much of it and headed toward the back mountain, ready to continue practicing and familiarizing himself with Dou skills, as well as to check in at the back mountain. His intuition told him that since it was the birthplace of Xiao Yan's rise, he would receive very good rewards by checking in there.

When he reached the top of the back mountain and sensed the surroundings, confirming that no one was around, he said, "System, check-in."

—

[Ding, location: the top of the mountain behind the Xiao family, successfully checked in to get rewards: Fire and Wood attributes, Kirin Burning Sky Flame, Elixir Record, Heavenly Thunder Halberd, Thunder Origin *1.]

—

Xiao Tian took a look at the marked introductions and understood that the Fire and Wood attributes were weak attributes and could not be used as the main attributes. The Kirin Burning Sky Flame is rumored to be the flame formed after the horn of the Fire Kirin was cut off and fell. The flame is bright red, and there is a faint roar of a Fire Kirin within. The Elixir Record is a book that records the recipes of elixirs, containing various detailed recipes, each marked very carefully.

To become a distinguished alchemist in the Douqi Continent, one must meet two hard requirements: a fire attribute with a hint of wood, and soul perception. Both conditions are indispensable. Xiao Tian has been a human in two lifetimes, and his soul conditions are sufficient. The only thing he lacked was attributes, which the system has now made up for.

Alchemists are the most distinguished profession in the entire continent. Not only is the profession high in status and never short of money, but joining the Alchemist Guild also allows access to medicinal materials and resources more easily than ordinary practitioners. This is more conducive to cultivation.

The Heavenly Thunder Halberd can transform one's thunder attribute power and spiritual thunder into the weapon Heavenly Thunder Halberd for fighting. It is extremely powerful and sharp. With this, Xiao Tian wouldn't have to worry about future weapons. Many people in the Douqi Continent fight bare-handed using fighting skills, but Xiao Tian prefers to use weapons.

The Thunder Origin can speed up the condensation of spiritual thunder.

Seeing these rewards, Xiao Tian smiled broadly, hardly able to contain his joy. This would directly allow him to become a pharmacist. The alchemy book would be of the greatest help, as it contained detailed records of various medicinal materials, pictures of their appearances, detailed introductions of the pill formulas and alchemy procedures, as well as visually appealing alchemy scenes and precautions.

After checking in, Xiao Tian extracted the strange fire. Looking at the bright red flame in the air and feeling its explosive energy, Xiao Tian swallowed and asked the system, "System, how should I refine it?"
