Chapter 8: Xiao Xuan Dan

  Ye Xuan nodded excitedly, let out a low growl, and threw a punch at Ye Zhenwu. Just as his fist was about to hit Ye Zhenwu's clothes, the latter's figure had already moved out of range. Ye Xuan swung his fist again, but each time he only managed to graze Ye Zhenwu's clothes. Only then did Ye Xuan truly experience the power of Quan Qing Bu.

  Two people finished their practice, Ye Zhenwu said: "Don't look at Guan Qing's low level, but as long as you master it and use it flexibly in battle, it can play a great role. In fact, all kinds of moves, even the lowest-level Xuanji, are more lethal in the hands of a strong person than your high-level Xuanji."

  Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, Father, I understand." Then he began to practice the Quan Qing step.

  Ye Zhenwu watched Ye Xuan practice the still somewhat stiff Quan Qing step, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

  In the woods behind Ye's house, a small stream came rushing from afar, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, sometimes galloping straightforwardly with a gurgling sound; sometimes licking the cliff wall quietly flowing, shy and reserved; sometimes rushing out of a whirlpool, spinning around several times, then stretching forward, looking so broad and expansive, relaxed and comfortable.

  By the side of a small stream, a handsome young man with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing a black monk's robe, sat cross-legged on a green stone, looking exceptionally elegant and refined. This young man was Ye Xuan.

  A wisp of vital energy revolved around Ye Xuan's body, and he began to use the Qi Release Technique. The vital energy in various parts of his body started to converge on the Mysterious Gate, causing it to vibrate. Ye Xuan felt a scorching sensation spreading throughout his body, and let out a loud roar. After the vibration subsided, seven shallow cracks appeared on the surface of the Mysterious Gate.

  Sevenfold Mysterious Energy!

  In just five days, Ye Xuan relied on this Qi Spirit Technique to break through to the Seventh Layer of Profound Qi!

  Ye Xuan was overjoyed and stood up, let out a low shout, jumped with both legs, and a set of familiar Clear Steps began to be performed on his body.

  Not far from where Ye Xuan was practicing, a figure stood there with an astonished expression on his face, staring straight at Ye Xuan. It just so happened that when Ye Xuan broke through, he saw it, and it was truly unbelievable. This figure was Ye Zhenwu.

  Ye Xuan finished his practice and saw Ye Zhenwu walking towards him, a smile spreading across his face.

  Ye Zhenwu came up close, without saying a word, and threw a straight punch at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan took a step back and dodged the punch with his Guanqing Step.

  Ye Zhenwu smiled and said, "Alright, you little stinker, breaking through to the Seventh Layer of Xuan Qi in just five days is even stronger than I was back then. And your use of the Clear Step isn't bad either. Your future achievements are truly boundless."

  Ye Xuan took the opportunity to propose learning an attacking Xuan skill, and Ye Zhenwu, seeing his proficient Guanqing step, gladly taught him another Xuan skill.

  Diamond Hand, Low-Rank Mystical Technique of the Wasteland Stage!

  This set of moves is like its name, when used, hands are like diamond, can defend and attack at the same time.

  As for the level of this Xuan skill, Ye Xuan was a bit disappointed, but Ye Zhenwu told him that as long as he practiced the Golden Fist well, even breaking through the mid-level Xuan skills in the Wilderness wouldn't be a problem.

  Ye Xuan thought of his Xuan Qi cultivation again and asked dissatisfied, "Besides using this Qi Shen technique to absorb the natural Xuan Qi, is there a faster way?"

  Ye Zhenwu heard this, took out a small Qiankun bag from his pocket and threw it to Ye Xuan, saying: "There are five small Xuan Dan inside. You already have the seventh layer of Xuan Qi. From now on, you can go to your uncle's place every month to receive five small Xuan Dan for cultivation."

  Xuandan, a kind of auxiliary dan medicine commonly used by cultivators. The master who made it is a special cultivator in the Jiuxuan Continent, an alchemist!

  Alchemists belong to a kind of auxiliary cultivation. Some people can learn some rare fire-control mind methods and mysterious skills due to various strange encounters or family inheritance, cultivate the mysterious air into the fire of the mysterious air, and refine the elixir from various spiritual herbs and roots. The elixir is the most common dan medicine, and there are also some special dan medicines that require not only the fire of the mysterious air but also the dan formula and materials.

  This continent has some sect families that are professional alchemy clans, such as the Shao Nan Prefecture in the central region of Tai Xuan Ancient Country. There is a San Qing Temple there, and the main cultivation within the temple is alchemy. Although their own innate spiritual energy is not strong, the huge profits brought by alchemy have allowed them to hire many powerful experts as sect guards, so their strength is not inferior to some large clans.

  As the Xuan Qi cultivation continued to thrive, the Xuan Qi had become closely tied to people's lives, so the Xuan Dan had become the most basic circulating currency on this continent. Cultivators used Xuan Dan for transactions and purchases of herbs, weapons, magical artifacts, and more.

  Xuandan also has its high and low grades, the lowest grade is small Xuandan, high-grade has big Xuandan, and rare Ling Xuandan, only large sects and big families will have it. In this small Xihé City, I'm afraid there isn't a single Ling Xuandan.

  Like in Xihuo City's Ye family, relying on the family business, Ye Xuan could only get a meager five small Xuan Dan every month.

  After Ye Zhenwu left, Ye Xuan couldn't wait to take a small xuan pill. Before leaving, Ye Zhenwu had instructed him that it would be best to use one small xuan pill every five days for refinement. For someone with seven layers of xuan energy, excessive use of the small xuan pills was not beneficial, as the endurance of their xuan gate was limited at this level.

  After taking the Xiao Xuan Dan, he felt a strong surge of Xuan energy spreading throughout his body. It seemed that this was due to the pure Xuan energy stored in the Xiao Xuan Dan. Ye Xuan immediately activated his Qi Shen technique to refine this pure Xuan energy. At this moment, the Xuan Gate began to tremble, and an elliptical virtual shadow appeared.

  This is Soft Stone Egg!

  Just as the Soft Stone Egg appeared, Ye Xuan felt a pure and refined aura brought by the Xiao Xuan Dan flowing through his body at an astonishing speed, finally gathering at the Mysterious Gate, where the light gray color of the gate began to deepen.

  An hour later, the pure Xuan Qi brought by Xiao Xuan Dan was gradually absorbed and refined. When Xiao Xuan Dan was fully refined, the illusory shadow of Soft Stone Egg slowly disappeared.

  After completing his cultivation, Ye Xuan felt increasingly strange. Why did the extremely pure Xuan Qi suddenly increase in refinement speed when the soft stone egg's virtual shadow appeared? It seemed that the color of the Xuan Gate deepened, which was a sign of rushing towards the Star Xuan Mirror.

  He couldn't figure it out, anyway he knew that the Soft Stone Egg was definitely a treasure. But the small Xuan Dan being refined so quickly, looking at the remaining four small Xuan Dans in his hand, he was considering whether to eat another one. In the end, he gritted his teeth and swallowed another one.

  He immediately felt a similar feeling arise, at which point he began to urge the Qi Spirit Technique. As the Xuanqi flowed through his body, the illusory image of the Soft Stone Egg gradually reappeared. Ye Xuan was extremely excited, and saw that the small Xuan Dan was rapidly absorbing and refining.

  The second Small Mystic Pill was finally refined by him, he felt that the refining time this time was a bit longer than the first time, but it was only half an hour, and his body had no discomfort.

  Ye Xuan made a bold decision, he decided to refine all the remaining three.
