When Xiao Zhan advanced to a Six-Star Great Dou Shi, it didn't trigger the System mechanism. Chen Yang estimated that he would only advance to Dou Ling once Xiao Zhan became an eight or nine-star Great Dou Master.
In reality, Chen Yang could completely lie flat and wait for a year or half a year until Xiao Yan set off for the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
At that time, when the System scanned the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he would directly become a Dou Huang.
When Xiao Yan reached Blackrock City, he could directly level up to a Fifth-Grade Alchemist.
Quietly following behind Xiao Yan and doing nothing, waiting for Xiao Yan to set foot in the Ancient World of the Gu Clan, he would be able to reach the heavens in a single bound and directly become a Dou Di powerhouse. At that time, he would be truly unrivaled on this Fighting Qi Continent.
Even if Xiao Yan became the Flame Emperor, he still wouldn't be able to defeat him.
However, playing it this way would be completely boring. What's the point of lying flat?
Utilizing the System's mechanics within a map to Cultivate even more powerful beings and thereby enhance his own strength—the power gained this way gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
An eighteen-year-old youth is at the age where his blood boils with passion. He fell into the original novel's trap because of the battle through the heavens anime. He could only say that after reading the original novel after watching the anime, he immediately felt that the yearly series was a pile of shit.
Coming to this world, he had to influence something, do something, and leave his footprints on every map.
"Teacher!"
Just as Chen Yang was thinking about what to do next, Gu Ni stood up holding the Medicinal Pill and knelt before Chen Yang with a thud.
"Alright, get up!"
"You're at such an age, what does it look like kneeling to me?"
Chen Yang chuckled and spoke to Gu Ni with a smile.
"Teacher!"
"Gu Ni knows his Aptitude is mediocre and cannot help Teacher too much!"
"But in the future, as long as Teacher needs Gu Ni, even if separated by ten thousand miles, Gu Ni will definitely be at Teacher's disposal!"
After Gu Ni stood up, he gave a deep bow, his voice trembling to the point of sobbing.
"Alright, alright, come, let me tell you more..."
Chen Yang smiled and explained some of the deficiencies in Gu Ni's recent alchemy process again.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ni suddenly realized his mistakes. Although his Aptitude was average, his long accumulation of experience allowed him to understand the issues Chen Yang pointed out.
"After you go back, practice more, and you'll be able to go for the AlchemistRank assessment!"
Chen Yang waved his hand at Gu Ni, indicating that he could leave first.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Gu Ni stood up and nodded, looking back every three steps, reluctantly watching Chen Yang as he left.
"This old man..."
Watching Gu Ni leave, Chen Yang shook his head and turned to look at the sky outside, finding that it had long since turned dark. Only then did Chen Yang remember that he had just guided Gu Ni through several rounds of refining Medicinal Pills.
"Time to eat..."
Chen Yang walked toward the door with his hands behind his back, preparing to find something to eat.
Just as he reached the door, there was a knock.
"Creak..." Chen Yang opened the door in confusion, only to find Ya Fei standing there prettily.
Today, Ya Fei was still wearing the same red dress from their first meeting, with a trace of fatigue on her face. It seemed she had just come down from the Auction House.
"Miss Ya Fei, have you eaten yet?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.
"No, I just finished working. Those two third-grade qi recovery pills you gave me were contested by many Great Dou Master powerhouses. I've been busy all night!" Ya Fei rubbed her waist, her lazy voice sounding like it would make one want to pull her into their arms.
"Then let's eat together." Chen Yang ignored Ya Fei's complaints and instead sat down with her at the stone table in the courtyard.
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A few lanterns hung in the courtyard. Although it wasn't as bright as day, in the eyes of two people who had both Cultivated Qi, this bit of darkness was naturally nothing.
The two chatted casually. Chen Yang told Ya Fei about Gu Ni refining a third-grade pill. Ya Fei was quite shocked, thanking him on Gu Ni's behalf and serving tea to Chen Yang.
"Miss Ya Fei!"
"After dinner, send over five more sets of medicinal ingredients for the foundation establishment divine liquid and body tempering pill!"
"By the way, I'll write another Pill Formula. See if you can collect the ingredients. If you can..."
"It can be considered your own stroke of good fortune!"
After Chen Yang advanced to a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, many fourth-grade pill recipes appeared in his mind. Among these fourth-grade recipes, Chen Yang discovered a Medicinal Pill that could improve Aptitude—the bone and marrow cleansing pill!
This Medicinal Pill was also created by the Flame Emperor, the master of the Endless Fire Territory in the Major Thousand Worlds. Chen Yang estimated that this pill was likely created by Xiao Yan for Ya Fei in the first place. After all, Ya Fei's Aptitude was obvious to all—she was on the same level as Xiao Zhan in that regard.
However, the original version certainly wasn't just a mere fourth-grade; it was likely Emperor-grade or even Heavenly Supreme level.
This fourth-grade one was probably modified and simplified by Xiao Yan later. After all, he still had a Fighting Qi Continent in his hands.
"Then thank you, Great MasterChen Yang!"
Although Ya Fei didn't know the effects of the Medicinal Pills Chen Yang had refined that afternoon, if they were something she could use, they must be excellent.
Thinking this, Ya Fei's gaze toward Chen Yang gradually became somewhat blurred.
Although she had known Chen Yang for less than three days, she was becoming more and more fond of this young man before her.
She knew she likely had the thought of a woman admiring the strong, but on the Fighting Qi Continent, which woman didn't like a strong and handsome man?
It was just that her Aptitude probably wouldn't catch his eye. Even if this young man agreed, his Sect probably wouldn't.
"Great Master, Young Miss, please enjoy!"
Just as Ya Fei was staring intently at Chen Yang, a maid brought the food, breaking Ya Fei's wandering thoughts.
"Come, let's eat!"
Chen Yang looked at Ya Fei with a smile, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
"Ah... oh, okay!"
Ya Fei's pretty face turned red, feeling that she had really lost her composure just now.
Throughout the meal, Ya Fei felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, yet she didn't dare to leave.
After they finished eating, Chen Yang wrote down the required medicinal ingredients for her, and she left as if escaping.
"This girl..."
Chen Yang shook his head. Watching Ya Fei's swaying figure depart, he sat at the dining table, looking up at the starry sky with a bit of boredom.
That night, Ya Fei sent someone to deliver fifteen sets of medicinal ingredients for the foundation establishment divine liquid and body tempering pill.
As for the ingredients for the bone and marrow cleansing pill, the person Ya Fei sent said they were not in stock in the warehouse and needed to be transferred from the headquarters.
Chen Yang understood upon hearing this. Although the bone and marrow cleansing pill was a fourth-grade pill, some of the ingredients were not commonly used, so it was normal for the Mittel Auction House not to keep them in stock.
After advancing to the fourth grade, Chen Yang became even more proficient at refining second-grade pills.
Chen Yang threw all five sets of ingredients into the Medicine Cauldron at once. Each took an hour, and both types of Medicinal Pills were completely finished. Chen Yang then went to bed... The next day, Ya Fei visited again, no longer as awkward as the previous night.
"Miss Ya Fei, take these Medicinal Pills first. For now, use this liquid for a daily bath. Before bathing, add one drop, and before bathing, take one body tempering pill!" Chen Yang took out a bottle of body tempering pills and five bottles of foundation establishment divine liquid, placed them on the table, and said to Ya Fei.
"Thank you, Great MasterChen Yang. How much are these pills? I'll pay you!" As she spoke, Ya Fei took out a gold card from her storage ring, preparing to pay Chen Yang.
"These Medicinal Pills are not something gold coins can pay for..." Chen Yang looked Ya Fei up and down and said with a light smile.
Ya Fei's pretty face felt a bit hot from Chen Yang's gaze, and she hurriedly raised her hand to fan herself to hide it.
"Please send this batch of Medicinal Pills to the Xiao Family and hand them personally to Xiao Zhan or Xiao Yong. I've written the instructions for using the pills on them!"
Chen Yang smiled and said no more, instead taking out several more bottles of Medicinal Pills, also foundation establishment divine liquid and body tempering pills, as well as a few thick earth pills.
"Understood!" Ya Fei nodded and went to handle the matter with the pills.
A few minutes after Ya Fei left, Gu Ni ran over to pay his respects. After doing so, Gu Ni asked some more questions about alchemy.
After Gu Ni finished asking, Chen Yang wrote another list of medicinal ingredients, which was the famous Qi Gathering Powder on the Fighting Qi Continent, and handed it to Gu Ni.
"Try to prepare as many as possible. I'll stock up some for the Wutan CityMittel branch!" Chen Yang handed it to Gu Ni and said calmly.
"This..." Gu Ni took the list and glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrinking. "Teacher, this... this is the medicinal ingredients required for refining Qi Gathering Powder???"
Chen Yang nodded, not wasting words with Gu Ni, and waved his hand, saying, "Go and prepare!"
Gu Ni nodded somewhat blankly, not knowing how he walked out of Chen Yang's small courtyard.
It wasn't until Gu Ni had completely left that he reacted: "Teacher... Teacher is actually a Fourth-Grade Alchemist?"
