. Yao Lao said, "The energy of this Companion Amethyst Source is beyond my imagination. You only need to take one-tenth of it. Any more and you won't be able to refine it."
Xiao Jue took the jade bottle Yao Lao handed him and stored it in his storage ring. Then he watched Xiao Yan swallow the Companion Amethyst Source.
Even with only one-tenth of the Companion Amethyst Source, Xiao Yan couldn't absorb it directly. Yao Lao used his soul power to help him refine the violent factor within, and only then did Xiao Yan begin to absorb it.
Xiao Jue stared at them intently. The last time Xiao Yan refined the Peach Blossom Fire, he failed to evolve the Burning Technique, but this time he would definitely be able to evolve the Burning Technique to the intermediate level of the Yellow Rank.
However, the moment Xiao Yan's strength reached the level of a Nine-Star Dou Zhe, Yao Lao instantly suppressed the sub-fire within Xiao Yan's Dou Qi.
"That's it for now," Yao Lao said. "The energy of the accompanying purple crystal source is indeed powerful, but the power it contains is too overbearing. I have already refined it once, but if you allow the purple fire to enhance your strength, the cyclone in your body will eventually be broken."
"The reason why the purple crystal winged lion king can directly advance a whole level is because their bodies are strong and they don't have to worry about being attacked by the purple fire. If you rely on the purple fire to advance to the Fighting Master level, I am afraid it will be immediately devoured by the purple fire and reduced to ashes."
Yao Lao pondered for a moment, then said: "Within this month, you need to stay in the Magic Beast Mountain Range again, and you must hunt at least five first-level magic beasts every day. Only fighting can make the impetuous fighting spirit in your body become as stable as before. Otherwise, when you encounter the strange fire in the future, you will not be qualified to devour it."
"After a month, you can consume the Condensation Pill to break through to the Fighting Master level, and then use the Burning Technique to devour the purple fire."
"Xiao Jue, Xiao Yan is in your care. I'll go and refine two seventh-grade elixirs for you." Yao Lao sighed and drifted away.
Besides the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Pill, Yao Lao also needed to help Xiao Jue refine another seventh-grade elixir, which Xiao Jue claimed was related to the strange fire of the Tagor Desert.
Then there was the Blood Lotus Pill, which Xiao Yan would need to devour the sub-fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.
"Xiao Jue, do you have any physical combat skills?" Xiao Yan rubbed his hands and looked at Xiao Jue, asking, "Teach me two high-level Xuan-level physical combat skills."
"Do you think this is a treasure trove?" Xiao Jue was immediately amused and said, "You have the Purple Cloud Wings now, so ordinary physical combat skills won't be of much use to you. Before you break through to the Dou Ling realm, I can get you a low-level Earth-level physical combat skill."
"Earth-level!?" Xiao Yan immediately became excited and happily left the valley with Xiao Jue, heading to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to hunt first-level magic beasts and hone his skills.
…
A month later, Xiao Yan exhausted all his strength to kill the last first-level monster. At Xiao Jue's request, he faced five first-level monsters at the same time, carrying the Xuanzhong ruler on his back.
If it weren't for the dark energy of Bajipeng, which could kill a first-level monster with a single punch, Xiao Yan would have been torn to pieces by those monsters.
Sitting on the ground, panting, Xiao Yan said excitedly: "I have become a lot stronger in this month. At the beginning, I was no match for two first-level monsters at the same time, but now I can kill five first-level monsters."
"Yao Lao has high expectations of you," Xiao Jue said. "If it were normal training, he would not let you take elixirs or consume natural treasures to improve your strength. Even if it is the companion purple crystal source, he would extract the sub-fire from it for you to consume." "
But you have to face Nalan Yanran, so you must improve your strength as much as possible."
"Let's go."
Xiao Yan followed Xiao Jue silently. He suddenly frowned and asked: "Shouldn't we go back to the small valley?"
"You can defeat monsters, but can you defeat humans?" Xiao Jue said playfully. "There's a Wolf Head Mercenary Group in Qingshan Town. Their leader is a two-star Dou Shi. Only by destroying them can you qualify to break through to Dou Shi."
Xiao Yan's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? I'm only a nine-star Dou Zhe, practicing the low-level Yellow-rank Burning Technique. How can I possibly defeat a Dou Shi?"
"Are you carrying that Xuan Zhong Ruler? You should have mastered the low-level Earth-rank technique that Yao Lao taught you."
"The ones who surrounded Xiao Yixian earlier were from the Wolf Head Mercenaries. We can't just let them go."
...
Two days later, Xiao Yan, through various means, completely wiped out the Wolf Head Mercenaries and followed Xiao Jue back to the small valley. During this time, Xiao Jue gave him a scroll of a high-level Xuan-rank Dou Ji as a reward.
This sonic Dou Ji, called "Crazy Lion's Chant," was stored in three treasure chests in the cave Xiao Yixian had discovered. Xiao Jue obtained it after killing Mu Li.
Back in the valley, Xiao Yan took the Condensation Pill and broke through to the Dou Shi level. Then, under Yao Lao's guidance, he refined the second-grade elixirs, the Vein Protection Pill and the Ice Heart Pill. He successfully refined the Purple Flame using these pills.
His strength broke through to the level of a two-star Dou Shi, and his Burning Technique, just as Xiao Jue and Yao Lao had predicted, successfully evolved to the intermediate level of the Yellow Rank.
"I feel like I'm at least twice as strong as before."
Xiao Yan clenched his fists excitedly. Yao Lao beside him smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, your good days have just begun."
"Now you two need to improve your alchemy skills, and then you can go to the Tagor Desert."
Xiao Jue said, "Yao Lao, you can first teach Xiao Yan the alchemy skills, and then let him go directly to the Tagor Desert. I plan to go to Black Rock City first to take the alchemist assessment there. Then we will meet again in Stone Desert City, where my cousins Xiao Ding and Xiao Li have established a mercenary group."
"I will also get you a copy of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring directly."
"Okay." Yao Lao nodded, took out two wooden boxes and threw them to Xiao Jue, saying, "Inside are the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Pill and the Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill. See you in Stone Desert City in two months."
"Practice well." Xiao Jue glanced at Xiao Yan with a playful expression and said, "Give your two cousins a little shock when the time comes."
After the dragon wings appeared behind Xiao Jue and he became a fourth-tier magical beast, he was still a young Phantom Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast, but his wingspan was already seven or eight meters.
Flapping his wings, Xiao Jue left the small valley. Xiao Yan watched him go and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is Xiao Jue now capable of fighting sixth-tier magical beasts?"
"You overestimate him, and underestimate him at the same time," Yao Lao sighed. "Xiao Jue's Yin and Yang dual flames are extremely powerful. He is currently a one-star Dou Ling, but using his Earth-tier Dou Jing, he was able to sneak attack and instantly kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King while the Dou Huang was holding him back."
"But in a head-on battle, Xiao Jue would hardly be a match for the Dou Huang. However, with his sneak attack from behind, only a Dou Zong could possibly withstand Xiao Jue's Earth-tier Dou Jing."
