Chapter 174 Two-Star Dou Zun
Half a month later!
After half a month, Xu Haoyu successfully refined more than 120 fire beads, and his strength was successfully improved from the peak of one-star Dou Zun to the peak of two-star Dou Zun, which was definitely a significant improvement.
The feeling of rapid improvement in strength was wonderful. If the fire beads had not been exhausted, he would have wanted to continue.
This is how fighting spirit cultivation works. In addition to talent, resources are also important. As long as the resources can keep up, the level of cultivation will increase rapidly.
For example, Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, had only average talent, and he could only be a great Dou Shi through his own training. But after being captured by the Soul Clan, he refused to reveal the secret of the ancient jade even after being tortured. In order to prevent him from dying, the Soul Clan fed him a large amount of elixirs and forcibly promoted him to the Dou Huang level.
Logically speaking, the Soul Clan is more kind-hearted than the Ancient Clan. The Soul Clan captured Xiao Zhan, and when they returned him, Xiao Zhan had already become a Dou Huang. But for the Ancient Clan, Xiao Xuan entrusted the Xiao Clan to Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan divided up the Xiao Clan's resources. This is understandable, as they had to take some compensation, but they didn't even leave any money behind, which led to the rapid decline of the Xiao Clan. This is somewhat unfair.
Just kidding, let’s get back to Xu Haoyu.
When Xu Haoyu walked out of the room, he first saw Zi Yan, and then Su Qian.
Zi Yan asked curiously:
"How's your strength improvement?"
Xu Haoyu smiled and replied:
"I have increased my strength by one star, and have broken through from the peak of one-star Dou Zun to the peak of two-star Dou Zun."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Qian said with a look of emotion and envy:
"I knew you had good talents, but I didn't expect them to be so good. It's only been a few years, and the two little guys have now surpassed me. It's embarrassing to talk about it."
Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan smiled at each other, and then Xu Haoyu said to Su Qian:
"Great Elder, I am not just here to help you improve your fighting spirit. If you need any elixir, tell me now and I will help you refine it to improve your strength and that of the academy. This time, I will not charge any compensation just to give back to the academy for its training."
Su Qian was surprised. He knew Xu Haoyu's talent in alchemy. Since he said so, his alchemy skills must have improved. Now he was willing to refine some pills for the academy for free. This was definitely a great thing.
But then, he asked curiously:
"Haoyu, let me ask you, what level have you reached in your alchemy skills?"
Xu Haoyu said calmly:
"Certified by Danta, an eighth-grade alchemist."
Su Qian's eyes widened immediately, and he took a deep breath. What kind of concept was this? An eighth-grade alchemist would be treated as a guest of honor by the top forces on the continent.
Now Xu Haoyu has actually become such an eighth-grade alchemist.
Su Qian turned around and called all the elders from the inner and outer courtyards, counted the pills everyone needed, and then took out all the medicinal materials.
This is a godsend for the academy. Su Qian must make adequate preparations to ensure that the academy's strength is further improved.
Soon, like a bolt of thunder from the blue, the news spread rapidly throughout the academy and was known by all elders above the Dou Wang level.
But to be honest, these people in the academy don’t need eighth-grade elixirs at all. At most, they just want some seventh-grade elixirs. However, there are a lot of people who want to watch the fun.
A day later, outside a certain building in the inner courtyard, the place was already surrounded by students in three layers.
The members of Longyuan were maintaining order, and they all held their heads high. Although there were no first-generation Longyuan members among them, and no one among them had ever seen Xu Haoyu, they still felt proud. Closer to the inside were the many elders of the academy, led by Su Qian and Hu Qian. Hu Qian had now broken through to the Dou Zong realm with the help of the Po Zong Dan, but he was only a one-star Dou Zong.
In addition, in secret, two old men had also arrived. They were Bailie and Qianmu, the two guardians of the academy. They had never appeared before when Han Feng led his men into the inner courtyard. Now they came quietly.
Among the pills that Xu Haoyu was going to refine, there were two Grandmaster Pills, which were reserved by these two guardians. At their level, it was very difficult to improve their fighting spirit. Apart from years of practice, they could only rely on pills.
Therefore, the two guardians came to the door with smiles on their faces, hoping to obtain the two Grandmaster Pills.
Among the crowd, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this spectacular scene, and secretly asked his teacher:
"Teacher, Master Xu said that he is already an eighth-grade alchemist. How do you think he compares to you?"
Yao Chen's voice then reached Xiao Yan's ears:
“I have never seen him refine an eighth-grade elixir, so it is hard to judge. But this young man is not a liar. He said he is an eighth-grade alchemist, so he must be an eighth-grade alchemist. Even if he is not as good as me, I am afraid he is not far away. It is really... the young are to be feared..."
Yao Chen's heart was slightly moved. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for his disciple to be in the same era with such a genius, but at least now he had a goal to pursue.
Then, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and he said with longing:
"Teacher, if I can become an eighth-grade alchemist, will the family behind Xun'er look at me differently?"
Yao Chen paused after hearing this, and then said hesitantly:
"I think so. However, the girl's family must be of a high status. I don't dare to jump to conclusions about whether an eighth-grade alchemist can impress her family..."
For the following period of time, the strange phenomena in heaven and earth caused by Xu Haoyu's alchemy never disappeared. The terrifying thunderclouds and the alchemy thunder that fell from the sky made everyone exclaim in amazement.
Ten days later, Xu Haoyu gave all the pills he had refined to Su Qian and asked him to distribute them to other people.
In Canaan College, Xu Haoyu obtained a lot of things, including martial arts, strange fire, Zi Yan... Now that he is revisiting the old place, he feels happy to give back a little.
At this time, Zi Yan came to Xu Haoyu and said:
"Now that the elixir has been refined and such a long time has passed, should we go under the lava for a few more rounds, hunt lizardmen, and obtain their fire beads?"
Xu Haoyu thought about it, nodded and shook his head, and said with a smile:
"We must continue to hunt lizardmen, but it would be a waste of our time to spend all our time hunting lizardmen. It's a rare opportunity to come back to the Northwest Continent, so we must visit our friends. Let's go to the Sky Serpent Empire in the next period of time."
Zi Yan understood immediately and said in surprise:
"Yes, we can go visit Qinglin. I wonder if she is doing well in the Heavenly Snake Mansion."
This is what Xu Haoyu meant. Afterwards, he left his clone behind and asked the clone to fight monsters under the lava, while he took Zi Yan and left the academy to visit his other sister.
Qinglin, the seeds that were planted back then, even if they haven’t grown into towering trees yet, they should at least break through the ground.
