Chapter 151 Alchemist Talent Too Prodigious

"Such a familiar feeling."

"Is he humblebragging like my little brother?"

On a mountain peak in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Huo Zhi, who was sitting in the Void Realm recovering from her injuries, opened her eyes and looked at the scene unfolding in the valley below. She had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Suddenly, the power of Red Lotus Karma Fire surged within her, transforming into a beautiful red lotus that enveloped her body. Her Soul, which had reached the Spiritual Realm, sensed a peculiar fluctuation.

"Auntie!" Huo Zhi softly called out in her mind.

"Xiao Zhier, Auntie knew you were fine." An ethereal voice emanated from the Red Lotus Karma Fire: "Why did you suddenly disappear before the Ancient Realm?"

"It was the Soul Clan!" Huo Zhi's voice turned cold, contrasting with the high temperature of the flames around her: "Hun Ya of the Soul Clan had a black flame appear within him, sealing the space and ambushing me, but I discovered it in time and blocked it. He wasn't my match, but the strange flame within him suppressed my Red Lotus Karma Fire, trying to devour it."

"As expected, it's those scoundrels hiding in the shadows." A coldness was hidden in the ethereal voice: "Our Clan should not have stood by with the Lei Clan back then, but rather cooperated with the Gu Clan and Xiao Clan to annihilate them."

"The strange flame that suppressed and tried to devour you should be the Void Swallowing Flame's sub-flame. It's comparable to a half-Dou Sheng, so it's normal that you couldn't defeat it."

"What method did you use to escape in the end?"

"I activated the Lotus Heart Spatial Pearl you gave me, Auntie." Huo Zhi's apologetic voice rang out.

This Lotus Heart Spatial Pearl was no ordinary item. It was something Auntie Huo Ling obtained when she traveled the Dou Qi Continent. Due to certain circumstances, she helped Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan refine a strange flame and asked for this item in return.

Back then, once this Lotus Heart Spatial Pearl was crushed, even a Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert couldn't interfere. They could only watch as the other party was teleported to Xiao Xuan's side. Who would dare to kill someone in front of Xiao Xuan?

After a thousand years of change, the power within the Lotus Heart Spatial Pearl had dissipated. Now, it could only withstand the attack of a One-Star Dou Sheng and could no longer teleport to Xiao Xuan's side, only randomly teleporting.

But it was still an invaluable treasure.

"As expected, you don't need to mind." Huo Ling's laughter rang out: "Back then, I used the Red Lotus Karma Fire to help Xiao Xuan evolve a special Qinglian Earth Core Flame, and he owed me a favor for it, so he gave me this item."

"After a thousand years, with Auntie's current strength, this item is completely useless. If it can help you, it's not a waste."

"Do you know your current location? I'll come personally to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi hesitated slightly before saying: "Auntie, I don't know my current location yet. I'll send you a message once I figure it out."

"Next, I want to experience some solo training for a while. You can just send an Elder to protect me then. Let someone else visit the Gu Clan."

"Oh, and don't forget to bring my little brother back to the Clan. He's always been playful. If he's left alone, who knows when he'll reach the Dou Zong or Dou Zun level."

This answer surprised Huo Ling, but she agreed without much thought: "Alright, then Auntie will wait for your message."

"Oh, and when you have time, carefully explore the location you were teleported to."

"Back then, Xiao Xuan used a trace of the Qinglian Earth Core Flame's power to locate the space when he created this spatial pearl."

"Now that he is no longer here, the Yin Yang Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was also detonated and destroyed during his great battle with the Soul Clan."

"There might be a newborn Qinglian Earth Core Flame in the place you were teleported to now."

These words made Chu Xiao's face appear in Huo Zhi's mind.

When she saw this man just now, she had a strange sensation.

Now it seemed that he also had a strange flame within him, which should be the Qinglian Earth Core Flame that Auntie mentioned.

"Okay, Auntie." Huo Zhi didn't say much, obediently responding.

Huo Ling no longer spoke from billions of miles away, and the Dou Sheng power within the Red Lotus Karma Fire's Origin settled back down.

Huo Zhi seized this opportunity to quickly recover from her injuries.

Chu Xiao was unaware of any of this.

After Xiao Yan said "just luck," he received a speechless look from Yao Lao.

It was as if he was accusing: "Look at what you've taught."

Chu Xiao: "..."

I'm the one who's learning, alright?

"Xiao Yanzi, congratulations on learning to answer correctly."

Chu Xiao gave a thumbs-up, then said: "Familiarize yourself with the contents of the scroll and prepare to learn this Flying Dou Technique. You can fly even at the Dou Disciple level."

"Cousin, love you~" Xiao Yan made a heart gesture with his hands.

Chu Xiao waved his hand with a look of disdain: "Xun Er only went back to the Family temporarily, she's not gone forever. You'd best watch your words and actions."

"If she teaches you a lesson then, I won't protect you."

"I'm not afraid. By the time she comes back, Cousin, you and Queen Medusa might even have children." Xiao Yan said with an indifferent expression: "Then she'll be teaching you a lesson, or Queen Medusa."

Medusa: "..."

Chu Xiao didn't want to talk more about this topic and decisively looked at Yao Lao: "Senior Yao Lao, according to our agreement, it's time for you to teach me alchemy."

"While Xiao Yanzi is mastering the Flying Dou Technique, I can just get started."

"This old man naturally keeps his word." Yao Lao stroked his beard and nodded, then took out a notebook.

"Although you are not this old man's Disciple, since you are learning alchemy from me, I will demand the same strictness as I would from a Disciple."

"Please be very strict." Chu Xiao didn't mind Yao Lao's words.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

"Awakening Pill, complete!"

Within a valley in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

The energy of heaven and earth gathered faintly into a ball of black flame.

A Medicinal Pill emitting a refreshing medicinal scent completely formed, steadily landing in Chu Xiao's fair palm.

The Awakening Pill was a third-grade Medicinal Pill. After consumption, it could increase a Cultivator's perception of the external heaven and earth energy during Cultivation, slightly improving energy absorption and conversion speed.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Huo Zhi: "..."

Yao Lao: "..."

Another success, and the quality was excellent.

According to the Alchemist Guild's evaluation standards, Chu Xiao was already a third-grade Alchemist.

"Little Chu, you're not going to tell this old man that was just luck, are you?" Yao Lao asked expressionlessly.

Xiao Yan also stared at Chu Xiao, with an expression that said, if you dare to nod, I'll fight you to the death.

First grade on the first day, second grade on the second day, reaching third grade on the fourth day.

This terrifying Alchemist talent, Yao Lao didn't know what words to use to describe it for a moment.

"Of course this isn't luck." Chu Xiao casually tossed the Medicinal Pill to Xiao Yan and smiled calmly: "This is due to talent!"

He already had the first-grade Alchemist experience and knowledge from the notebook Legacy. He might even be stronger than Yao Lao at refining first-grade Medicinal Pills.

Coupled with the Comprehension Ability boosted by the firmament chart, his Soul Power was on the verge of Breaking Through to the Late Stage of the Mortal Realm, and his strange flame possessed both fire and lightning attributes from the Thunderous Gang Imperial Flame, further enhanced by the characteristics of the Yin Yang Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.

This speed of reaching third grade in four days was already him playing it safe.

However, fourth-grade alchemy was a hurdle, as it began to involve the energy of heaven and earth.

Seventh grade was another hurdle, which would attract Pill Lightning, and after that, each grade was a step up.

It would be difficult to maintain this speed after that.

"If I focus solely on learning, I think I can stably refine fourth-grade Medicinal Pills within about a week." Chu Xiao speculated, as he still needed to digest the nine additional Pill Formulas in his mind, some of which didn't even exist on the Dou Qi Continent, and their effects were also good.

Yao Lao "..."

He was almost going to shut himself off, but at the same time, he had a different sense of accomplishment.

In his lifetime, he could actually Cultivate such a Genius Alchemist.

Even if he couldn't be resurrected in the end, he would have no regrets!

"If those from the Medicine Clan knew of his talent, they would probably be ashamed."

Within the Void Realm, Huo Zhi watched Chu Xiao spend four days going from a beginner to a third-grade Alchemist, secretly sighing with emotion.

People of the Medicine Clan, because most of them were proficient in alchemy, usually looked down on others.

And the Flame Clan, because they possessed many strange flames, made the Medicine Clan envious.

Over time, the relationship between the two Clans was just average.

"This person is quite special."

Huo Zhi's curiosity grew stronger.

Her "training" that she told her Auntie about was actually observing Chu Xiao.

Initially, she was curious because she discovered that Chu Xiao seemed to have the Qinglian Earth Core Flame, as well as the existence of Yao Lao's Soul body.

And these past few days, she had figured out that she was in a remote corner of the Northwest Continent, in a bottom-tier country. And Chu Xiao, being so young yet possessing the strength of a Dou King, although not comparable to the descendants of Imperial Clans, was still a top Genius even in the Central Plains.

She couldn't help but develop a desire to investigate.

"He definitely has a secret."

I saw many comments in the comment section about the Xuan Yi setting.

The little author originally wanted to be as perfect as possible and cater to everyone's reading experience.

But it's even more important to accept everyone's opinions, so modifications have been made now.

Those who have read it, Dadas, can re-cache and read it.

Grateful for the encounter.

The little author will work hard to write better.
