Cultivating Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, his eyes closed.

He slowly breathed, adjusting himself to the best possible state.

Xiao Yan had started learning alchemy at the age of ten. Although it took him more than three years to refine a Rank-1 pill, and he hadn't refined a Rank-2 pill in the year since, this time, Xiao Yan was confident that he could refine a Rank-2 pill within two or three months.

Now, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi already contained a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which greatly increased his speed of purifying medicinal herbs.

Xiao Yan constantly recalled the scene of Hun Xuzi refining pills last night in his mind. Although it was only a few seconds, those few seconds were what Xiao Yan had gambled his life to get.

The benefit of having a strong Soul was that he possessed a powerful memory, allowing him to observe subtle things more clearly.

Especially when observing alchemy, since alchemy itself relied on Soul power.

Those few seconds were constantly repeated and slowed down by Xiao Yan, like watching a movie in slow motion, not willing to miss even the slightest detail.

"Let's try."

Xiao Yan placed his hands in front of the Pill Furnace, condensing a ball of Dou Qi flame and throwing it into the Pill Furnace, controlling the strength of the Dou Qi flame through his Soul power.

Different medicinal herbs required different temperatures for purification. Most pills needed to be fused immediately after the herbs were purified, without any mistakes.

Boom! The temperature was too high, and the medicinal herbs were destroyed.

"Again."

Boom! During purification, he didn't control the position of the herbs well, and they fused prematurely, causing the furnace to explode.

"Again!"

Boom! His Soul power weakened, and he didn't control the flame well, causing it to overflow and explode the furnace, and his Soul power was exhausted.

"Damn it, I... I'll try again tomorrow!"

Without a teacher to guide him, Xiao Yan could only use the most foolish method to cultivate.

Day after day, week after week, month after month. In this hidden cave, a young man cultivated here every day, learning alchemy on his own.

Three months passed in a flash.

"*Eight Extremities Collapse!*"

Xiao Yan aimed his right fist at the rock layer at the innermost part of the cave, rotated his body, and gathered all his strength to deliver a punch.

Boom, boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom! The solid rock layer was dented eight times! Eightfold force, the Eight Extremities Collapse was mastered! The Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique was actually cultivated to mastery!

This was completely unbelievable!

Although Xiao Yan had already reached the Four-Star Dou Zhe, he was still just a Dou Zhe. His father, Xiao Zhan's, Mystic Low-Rank Dou Technique, Lion Mountain Split, had only barely reached mastery! "Sigh, it took eleven years to reach mastery, am I too bad?" If others heard this, they would probably vomit blood.

Originally, Mystic High-Rank Dou Techniques were not meant for Dou Zhes to cultivate. Xiao Yan was completely cultivating beyond his level. If it weren't for the special nature of the Eight Extremities Collapse, which required physical strength rather than Dou Qi, Xiao Yan wouldn't even be able to get started.

Xiao Yan swept away the gloom, flicked his finger, and took out a huge black ruler from his Storage Ring—the Mystic Heavy Ruler, and a Dou Technique manual.

On the surface of the black ruler, there were some blurred, strange patterns, which extended to the hilt, almost covering all parts of the sword body. Coupled with the simple and unadorned black color, it looked quite mysterious.

"Now I can finally cultivate the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler."

Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique—Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, Xiao Yan had been coveting it for a long time.

When mastered, it could split mountains and break waves with every move, sweeping away thousands of troops! In the beginning, Xiao Yan actually wanted to cultivate the Earth Rank Low-Level Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler more than the Eight Extremities Collapse, because the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, like the Eight Extremities Collapse, didn't require cultivation level for entry, but physical body.

The Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler was a Dou Technique where Dou Qi and the physical body complemented each other.

Moreover, cultivating the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler required pairing it with the Mystic Heavy Ruler, which could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But the problem was that with Xiao Yan's strength and physical strength at the age of four, he couldn't even lift the Mystic Heavy Ruler, let alone cultivate it, so he chose to practice the Eight Extremities Collapse first.

The moment Xiao Yan gripped the Mystic Heavy Ruler with both hands, a powerful suppression spread throughout his body. This Mystic Heavy Ruler was not only extremely heavy, but it could also seal Dou Qi.

When a Dou Zhe wanted to lift heavy objects, they would generally fill their entire body's cells with Dou Qi to make their strength stronger. But this Mystic Heavy Ruler suppressed Dou Qi and was also extremely heavy.

Xiao Yan, who was already a Four-Star Dou Zhe, was forcibly suppressed to a One-Star Dou Zhe.

"Lift!"

Whoosh! The huge Mystic Heavy Ruler was like a giant black iron sword. Xiao Yan burst out with all his strength and circulated his Dou Qi, lifting it up with a sudden jerk, and a gust of wind stirred up the surrounding gravel.

"It's really heavy, no wonder it's a matching weapon for an Earth Rank Dou Technique. Just lifting it is incredibly difficult."

He didn't expect that this seemingly unremarkable thing would be so terrifying. Not only did it suppress the Dou Qi flowing rapidly within him to a snail's pace, but its own freakish weight almost made Xiao Yan unable to lift it even when he was fully circulating his Dou Qi.

"Good thing I've mastered the Mystic High-Rank Eight Extremities Collapse, or I really wouldn't be able to handle this thing."

The rank of a Dou Technique not only represents its power but also the difficulty of mastering it. Mystic High-Rank Dou Techniques can still be bought at the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City for around four to five hundred thousand gold coins. But Earth Rank Dou Techniques have never appeared there.

Earth Rank Dou Techniques only appear at the Gama Empire's annual auction, and they cost tens of millions of gold coins, or even require bartering.

"1."

"2."

Huff! Xiao Yan swung the Mystic Heavy Ruler. The entry requirement for the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler is being able to freely wield the Mystic Heavy Ruler. If you can't even wield it freely, there's no point in talking about further training.

Xiao Yan is now like running with tires tied to him. He not only has to move but also has to run fast. Not only does his body have to be strong enough, but he also has to consume Dou Qi to withstand the suppression of the Mystic Heavy Ruler, which consumes several times more Dou Qi than usual.

With a boom, on the fiftieth swing, Xiao Yan's hands trembled, and he lost his grip, dropping it to the ground. Looking at his constantly shaking hands, he knew that his limit was fifty swings.

Each swing is accompanied by a huge consumption of Dou Qi, and fifty swings actually exhausted his Dou Qi.

Xiao Yan smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "It seems I can't practice this Dou Technique anymore today. I'll cultivate to recover my Dou Qi and then refine pills."

Xiao Yan doesn't want to go home until he has exhausted all his Dou Qi, Soul power, and physical strength!

Xiao Yan put down the Mystic Heavy Ruler, released the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and sat beside it, slowly circulating the Burning Jue. Xiao Yan's daily practice is to use the Burning Jue to absorb the heat waves emitted by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Now Xiao Yan can get within one meter of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to absorb it.

"Huh? Why is the circulation of Dou Qi so much faster!"

Xiao Yan remembered something and looked at the Mystic Heavy Ruler stuck in the ground.

In a state of extreme fatigue, Xiao Yan could clearly perceive that the almost sore and numb muscles and Qi cyclones in his body were greedily absorbing the heat energy released by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Xiao Yan seemed to have a feeling that the explosive power contained in his muscles and cells seemed to be slightly strengthened compared to before, and he felt that he could get a little closer to the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

"It's a pity, if I could refine a Rank 3 Qi Recovery Pill and use it together, it would be even better."

Xiao Yan took out a Rank 2 Small Return Pill and Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Although the effect is not as strong as a Rank 3 Qi Recovery Pill, it can help Xiao Yan recover his Dou Qi, and the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid can soothe his muscles, so that Xiao Yan doesn't have muscle soreness and can continue to suffer tomorrow.

Suffering and enjoying it.

Xiao Yan licked his lips, his eyes burning as he looked at the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. No pill can compare to this Strange Flame. If he could use the Burning Jue to devour this Strange Flame, his strength would definitely increase rapidly.
