An hour later, a droplet of translucent emerald-green liquid hovered above Yao Lao's palm.
Foundation Building Divine Liquid .... complete!
He flicked his wrist, and the glowing drop fell into a wooden basin Xiao Yan had prepared in advance.
As soon as it touched the water, the entire basin turned a vivid jade-green.
"From this moment on," Xiao Yan murmured softly, "I begin my cultivation anew."
Gazing at the basin, nostalgia flickered in his eyes. In his previous life, it had been from a basin of this very same liquid that he began his rise....one step at a time, until he stood at the peak of the world.
"Teacher, please refine the remaining sets of herbs as well.
For the last two, just make the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid version—that will suffice."
He stripped off his clothes and jumped into the basin.
The Divine Liquid was something he himself had invented in his past life, used to help young disciples lay a perfect foundation. It was far superior to the original Spirit Liquid....naturally, the cost reflected that.
After his improvements, it not only tempered the body and nourished the meridians, but also strengthened energy flow and even slightly enhanced talent.
Though technically a third-grade pill, its level of fire control alone could stump most sixth-grade alchemists.
That was why Xiao Yan had no intention of selling it....it would draw far too much attention.
As for earning money? For him and Yao Lao, that would be easy enough once his strength reached the Dou Wang or Dou Huang level.
"You brat," Yao Lao muttered with a helpless smile. "You really don't care how much you make this old man work, do you?"
Still, he didn't complain further.
Refining at this level was nothing difficult for a true master.
In the quiet little room, the pale flame flickered softly.
Under its glow, the old man and the boy worked together in silence....both immersed in the thought of the long road ahead.
Sitting cross-legged in the wooden basin, the young boy's chest rose and fell slightly. With every breath, faint streams of air moved in and out through his nose.
At the same time, gentle waves of energy from the medicinal liquid slowly seeped into Xiao Yan's body, transforming within and gradually condensing into threads of Dou Qi.
"With the experience of my previous life, my cultivation speed this time will be far faster than before."
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, he could now control his body with absolute precision.
How to breathe, how to adjust his state for the best training effect...these were things his past self could never perfectly grasp.
As a result, in this lifetime, even in the Dou Qi stage, his cultivation speed was already more than twice as fast as before.
"At this rate, I might be able to break through to the Dou Zhe realm within half a year."
Xiao Yan was rather satisfied. The Dou Qi stage was the slowest to advance through.
Once he stepped into the rank of Dou Zhe, his speed would soar again.
"In my previous life, it took me twenty-two years to become a Dou Di....excluding special places like the Sky Tomb. I wonder how long it will take me this time…"
He stopped thinking about it, calming his heart instead.
While his body absorbed the medicine's essence, his mind began to visualize a vast, majestic lotus of flame.
Physical cultivation could not be neglected, but soul cultivation had to keep up as well.
In his previous life, he didn't even obtain a proper soul-refining method until he joined the Pill Tower.
This time, however, he already possessed one of the finest soul-cultivating arts in the entire Great Thousand World....his own creation: the Emperor Flame Soul Refining Technique.
As its name implied, it was a method that tempered the soul through the might of the Emperor Flame, purifying and strengthening it.
For now, Xiao Yan had no Emperor Flame...he didn't even possess a beast flame.
Fortunately, the first layer of the technique required only visualization.
After all, this wasn't a secret art exclusive to him.
Many top experts across the Great Thousand World practiced their divine souls through this method.
