Chapter 57: Closed-door Cultivation! Medicine Elder Recovers!
The Azure Sea Shockwave could summon tremendously powerful waves to attack enemies, leaving behind a large amount of water source!
This compensated for the slow condensation of the Azure Sea Vortex.
With the water source, he could accelerate the condensation of the Azure Sea Vortex.
Could these two be a set of combat techniques?
Seeing such a combination of two combat techniques, Xiao Ze couldn't help but speculate like this.
But the specifics would have to be tried out to know for sure!
Xiao Ze walked briskly on the road of the Canaan Academy, and along the way, the students he encountered all showed him admiring looks.
This time, Xiao Ze learned his lesson.
His usual effective smile, which could effectively appease people, was no longer effective.
But that was fine. He didn't need to maintain the smile and quickly walked away from them.
On the way, Xiao Ze overheard their whispered conversations.
Like being the top student of the outer courtyard, the first in the inner courtyard selection, a Dou Spirit powerhouse.
Since Hu Qian mentioned that Xiao Ze's team submitted a fourth-tier magical core, many outer courtyard students had already assumed that Xiao Ze possessed the strength of a Dou Spirit.
Many even speculated that Xiao Ze might already be a Dou Spirit powerhouse at this moment.
In this year's inner courtyard selection competition, Xiao Ze might directly secure the first place!
There was no suspense at all!
...
Back at the waterfall in the rear mountain, Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Xuner were already waiting.
Each of them took the combat techniques suitable for themselves.
Xiao Ze handed all six auxiliary cultivation elixirs to Xiao Xuner.
"Xiao Ze, all of these for me?"
Xiao Xuner was a bit at a loss, looked at Xiao Ze, and then glanced somewhat anxiously at Xiao Yixuan.
Xiao Yixuan comforted her, "Xuner, don't worry, I don't feel unfair. The volume of Earth-grade techniques Xiao Ze gave me is invaluable!"
"If it weren't for the fact that it's inconsistent with reality, I would have thought I was the childhood sweetheart growing up with Xiao Ze."
Xiao Yixuan made a joke, dissipating much of the unease on Xiao Xuner's face.
"Xuner, all you need to do is to take all these elixirs and eat them without any pressure."
Xiao Ze also patted Xiao Xuner's head and then said to the two of them.
"I've decided that if you two cannot enter the inner courtyard in the next inner courtyard selection competition, I'd rather give up the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard!"
"Huh?"
"Why?"
Both Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Xuner were shocked and didn't understand why Xiao Ze would make such a decision.
"Of course, it's because I can't bear to leave you two alone and go to the inner courtyard by myself. It would be so boring."
Xiao Ze explained with a smile.
"Besides, I'm not at ease with you two in the outer courtyard. What if someone bullies you?"
"But..."
Xiao Xuner opened her mouth, wanting to continue persuading Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze had already raised his hand, his expression firm.
"I've made up my mind. There's no need to persuade me anymore."
"What you need to do now is to practice hard. We'll go through the inner courtyard selection competition together and enter the inner courtyard for cultivation!"
Seeing Xiao Ze's serious expression, Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Xuner could only give up and throw themselves into cultivation wholeheartedly.
If the two of them couldn't enter the inner courtyard, then it didn't matter whether they went to the inner courtyard or not!
Xiao Ze was very clear that his greatest reliance was the feedback system!
By guarding Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Xuner and helping them in their cultivation, he could gain the greatest benefits for himself!
As for the inner courtyard? How many times was the feedback multiplied?
In the following time, Xiao Ze's group disappeared again.
However, this time, discussions about Xiao Ze in the academy did not gradually cease because of Xiao Ze's disappearance.
On the contrary, they intensified!
Because after the magical beast hunting competition, the next academy-wide event would be the inner courtyard selection competition!
Xiao Ze, as an absolute hot favorite in the inner courtyard selection competition.
Received the most attention and discussion!
The discussions outside had nothing to do with Xiao Ze.
Since Xiao Xuner took the Plastic Inflammation Pill before, Xiao Ze deeply understood.
Taking pills himself? Not very useful!
Xiao Xuner taking pills? Many benefits!
That's why he exchanged all six pills rewarded from the magical beast hunting competition for ones suitable for Xiao Xuner's attribute.
At the same time, using his own pill quota, he exchanged a large number of pills beneficial for Xiao Xuner's cultivation from the alchemy department!
Looking at the crystal card in his hand, Xiao Ze's quota for pills was reset to zero again, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Even if it's a doubled pill quota, it's still not enough. Pills are really expensive!"
"Alchemists are indeed superior beings!"
"Third Brother, hurry up and become an alchemist. I also want to become a superior being!"
...
While Xiao Ze and his group were working hard in cultivation and preparing for the inner courtyard selection competition.
In the distant Utan City, at the Xiao family.
Xiao Yan, at this moment, had calmed his anger and looked at the figure in front of him, saying, "Can you really make me catch up to my fourth brother?"
"Hehe, of course! I didn't suck in all that Dou Qi from you for nothing. With your talent combined with my methods, catching up to your fourth brother should be no problem."
The transparent figure said with a smile, "Speaking of which, during the few days I've been awake, I often heard you mentioning your fourth brother. Can you tell me about his specific situation?"
At the words, Xiao Yan was annoyed by Medicine Elder's words.
"So you don't even know anything about my fourth brother and dare to boast about being able to make me catch up to him!"
Xiao Yan said somewhat disappointedly, immediately deciding to ignore Medicine Elder.
"How would I know if you don't tell me? Besides, before, you couldn't even compare to your fourth brother. Now you've fallen behind for some time. Wanting to catch up to him again is as difficult as reaching the sky!"
Medicine Elder, seeing Xiao Yan ignoring him, wasn't angry either, but continued.
"...Well, what are your means then?"
Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment. Indeed, under normal circumstances, he couldn't possibly catch up to his fourth brother's cultivation progress.
"I can make you become an alchemist! You'll be able to possess countless precious pills that countless people on the Dou Qi Continent long for! You can even refine them yourself!"
Medicine Elder said confidently, showing the confidence he had as a former Medicine Sovereign.
"An alchemist!!" Xiao Yan stood up in shock, his heart burning with excitement.
He was well aware of how precious alchemists were, and they were highly sought after on the Dou Qi Continent!
The pills they refined were incredibly useful!
Xiao Yan's throat was a bit dry. He didn't expect this old man to still have the identity of an alchemist.
He couldn't help but ask, "What rank alchemist are you then?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you that for now. Just know that I'm several hundred times more powerful than the most powerful alchemist in the Empire."
Medicine Elder made Xiao Yan speechless with his boast.
Knowing that this little guy was trying to play tricks on him, trying to get him to say what he wanted to hear.
He casually said, "Alchemist King? He's nothing in front of me!"
"Alright, tell me quickly, what's the situation with your fourth brother?"
Xiao Yan looked at the transparent figure firmly and said through gritted teeth, "I hope you can really help me!"
"My fourth brother broke through to a Great Fighter just before going to the Canaan Academy. He was only twelve years old!"
Medicine Elder: "Ah???"
