Chapter 180 Cultivation Techniques
With ready-made elixirs as a reference, Han Yue chose to cooperate with Xiao Yuan without any hesitation.

After some discussion, Han Yue's faction, Yue Ling, also became the first customers of the Lionheart Club. They ordered a batch of pills from Xiao Yan, the Lionheart Club's top alchemist, and paid 30% of the fire energy as a deposit.

This wave of events actually allowed the Lionheart Society to make a small profit.

Xiao Yan was naturally quite satisfied with this method of exchanging gold coins for fire energy.

He stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials for refining Qi-recovering pills and body-restoring pills. After all, when traveling away from home, the importance of these two kinds of pills is self-evident.

However, Bingqing Pill and Qingling Pill do require fire energy to exchange for medicinal materials, but at that price, a lot of money can be made. Although it is not as high as the price sold in the Black Horn Region before, it is enough to attract many people in Canaan College!

After all, within the academy, students at the Grand Fighter level account for about 65% of the total number of students, which is a huge market!

Not only that, this Qingling Pill can also be taken at the Douling level. After taking it, although the success rate is not high, there is still a chance of improving strength. To improve the strength of the Douling level by one star, it is more difficult than improving the strength of a great Dou Shi. There will always be some people who need such pills for some reasons.

And for Dou Ling, fifty days of fire energy is not enough for them to practice for a long time, but it is not impossible to try their luck in getting a Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill!

After this incident, A Tai was ordered by Xiao Yuan to purchase medicinal materials, while Xiao Yan first used the stock in his hands to refine the pills needed by Han Yue.

In addition, Xiao Yan also has to refine some elixirs to assist in his cultivation, and strive to cultivate to the Dou Ling level as quickly as possible.

Xun'er also went off to practice alone. As the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, resources had never been a problem for her.

As for Xiao Yuan?
He is studying his new fighting skills.

The most powerful earth-level advanced martial arts technique currently possessed by Xiao Yuan, the Demonic Thunder Mirror, was left by the dean of Canaan College, Mang Tianchi.

This Demonic Thunder Mirror comes with an advanced Earth-grade fighting skill, but this thing requires a Fighting King level to practice, and even the Fighting Spirits cannot figure out what this fighting skill is.

There is also an intermediate earth-grade body movement fighting skill, but it also requires the Fighting King level to practice. To be precise, this body movement fighting skill seems to complement the advanced earth-grade fighting skill.

The only skill that can be practiced is a low-level earth-grade spear technique, the Nine Tribulations Demonic Thunder Spear.

However, practicing this thing makes a lot of noise, and it is definitely impossible to practice it in the inner courtyard.

If you want to go to the back mountain, that's fine, but you'll be vulnerable to sneak attacks by monsters.

Moreover, the prerequisite for practicing the Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Spear is to practice the Demon Thunder Mirror, which is the foundation of everything.

After many twists and turns, Xiao Yuan still has to practice his skills first!
But it just so happened that Xiao Yu also needed to switch to practicing the low-level earth-level technique with water attribute, Green Water Condensing Waves.

So, on the days when Xiao Yan was refining medicine, Xiao Yuan took Xiao Yu with him to practice the new technique together.

It is more difficult to change the practice method than to practice a new one.

Xiao Yu's talent for cultivation is quite good, and with Xiao Yuan's guidance, his progress is quite encouraging.

But Xiao Yuan, who has always had an amazing talent in cultivation, encountered a little trouble.

To practice the Demonic Thunder Mirror, one actually needs the Black Demonic Thunder!

You must know that the Black Demon Thunder is the one that will appear when refining a ninth-grade elixir. Even a Dou Zun will be wiped out by the Black Demon Thunder. If you want to introduce the Black Demon Thunder into your body to practice the Demon Thunder Mirror, isn't that simply courting death?

Xiao Yuan felt a very tiny black magic lightning sealed in between his eyebrows by the Mang Tian Ruler, and he also felt a headache.

This old man is just teasing him!
That's the Black Demonic Thunder! It's sealed between the eyebrows!
I had never seen the black magic thunder before, and I didn't know what it was. I just thought that the black thunder looked pretty cool. But, when I opened the Magic Thunder Mirror, I realized that it was pretty cool, but it was easy to kill yourself with it!
Even if Xiao Yuan possessed the strange fire, he could not guarantee that he could directly control this black magic thunder. No matter how weak this thing was, it was not something that a Dou Ling like him would dare to touch easily.

What's more, this thing is right between the eyebrows. If you're not careful, it might blow your head off.

By then, Xiao Yuan would be the first person to be shot in the head while practicing martial arts!
Too abstract!

But after a day of careful consideration, Xiao Yuan decided to take the risk.

Although the Black Magic Thunder is powerful, if the person who uses the Strange Fire is strong enough, the Strange Fire can actually defeat the Black Magic Thunder.

This was in Xiao Yuan's body. If a small black magic thunder frightened him, what would he do when he faced a stronger enemy in the future? Run for his life?
No, he wanted to become strong! So strong that he would have the strength to fight any enemy he encountered!

To this end, it is normal and worthwhile to take some risks!
So, the next day, Xiao Yuan began to practice according to the established plan.

First, use the strange fire as the thread to weave a net.

The black magic thunder in the seal was sealed inside.

Next, it is time to transfer the black magic thunder.

Transfer the black magic thunder to the lower abdomen, where the Na Ling exists.

It is also the place where the strange fire gushes out. It will be safer to refine it here.

Ordinary people would not dare to do this.

This is because their lower abdomen is where the Dou Crystal that stores Dou Qi is located. If they are injured there accidentally, they will instantly become a disabled person.

Of course, such a thing would not happen to those who were stronger than Dou Wang.

In fact, the old man Mang Tianchi really planned to let Xiao Yuan become a Dou Wang before continuing his cultivation.

At that time, the toughness of his meridians will also increase, and he will be better able to withstand the attack of the black magic thunder. However, Xiao Yuan knows very well how advantageous the advanced skills will be in the process of practicing fighting spirit.

Including when fighting, with advanced techniques, the quantity and quality of the fighting spirit cultivated will be more and better.

Generally speaking, even a Dou Zun strongman may not see a heavenly-level technique once in his lifetime.

Therefore, for Xiao Yuan, this advanced earth-level martial art is probably the most advanced martial art for a long time to come!
Therefore, Xiao Yuan is still very concerned about this matter.

As long as the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan are not destroyed, his pressure will not decrease. After all, no one knows whether the Soul Palace will suddenly go crazy one day in the future and send a big boss over to kill him, Xiao Yuan.

Therefore, after introducing the black magic thunder to the side of the Na Ling in his lower abdomen, Xiao Yuan condensed the net-like strange fire into a fire cauldron and began to refine the black magic thunder in it.

This process is much more difficult than imagined.

Although it was just a small arc of black magic lightning, the destructive energy contained in it was no less than the Yin and Yang double flames that Xiao Yuan was unleashing at this moment.

If Xiao Yuan did not have a profound foundation and was not able to continuously draw Dou Qi from the five Qi Palaces in turn to maintain the fire cauldron for refining, he would probably be exhausted of Dou Qi in less than half a day and unable to maintain the refining of the strange fire, causing the black magic thunder to explode in his body, directly cutting off all his life.

But even so, Xiao Yuan still practiced for a full week before he was finally able to refine the black magic thunder and initially mastered the Magic Thunder Mirror.

After succeeding, Xiao Yuan was quite surprised to find that this Demonic Thunder Mirror was not an ordinary earth-level high-level technique, but a body-refining technique!
People who practice the Demonic Thunder Mirror can absorb ordinary thunder at the beginning to strengthen themselves, and in the later stages, they can absorb colored thunder, black demon thunder, and even Nine Profound Golden Thunder!

However, if one really reaches the level of absorbing the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, this Demonic Thunder Mirror will be able to be reborn and become a heavenly-level martial art!

But at present, Xiao Yuan is not considering the Nine Profound Golden Thunder. That thing is the elixir thunder that will appear when the ninth-grade golden elixir is refined. Even a five-star Douluo will be exhausted or even die on the spot if he encounters it.

This Nine Profound Golden Thunder can also be used to refine the Ninth Grade Profound Pill and the Thunder Tribulation Pill to improve one's own strength.

However, at present, it seems that no one in the Douqi Continent can refine elixirs of that level.

Could it be that in order to practice the technique, I have to refine the ninth-grade golden elixir first?

This is really too much suffering!
Let’s spur Xiao Yan on!

After his thoughts wandered for a while, Xiao Yuan came back to his senses and began to study the low-level earth-grade fighting skill, the Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Spear.

To be honest, Xiao Yuan is quite skilled in using the spear, and the Nine Tribulations Demonic Thunder Spear is quite to his liking.

However, the difficulty of cultivation is also not small.

A week was enough time for Xiao Yan to refine the pills. After delivering them, he went into the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower and began his retreat and cultivation.

Xiao Yuan devoted himself to practicing fighting skills. You know, at present, his most powerful fighting skill is still the Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring.

But even if it is Xuanbing Longxiang, if he wants to exert his greatest power, he must at least be promoted to the level of Dou Wang or even Dou Huang. With the strength of a Dou Ling, relying on his own Dou Qi to condense an ice dragon is not only laborious, but also cannot maximize its power.

Only by reaching a realm above Dou Wang can one use the energy of heaven and earth to condense an ice dragon. By then, not only will casting spells be easier, but the power will also be even stronger!

Therefore, this Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Spear, as a low-level earth-level spear fighting skill, was like a pillow sent to someone when he was sleepy, and it really helped Xiao Yuan a lot!

Because Earth-level fighting skills can actively absorb the energy of heaven and earth!
At this level, the power of fighting skills can be said to be able to split mountains and seas!
Thus, time passed by little by little during cultivation.

A full month had passed since he defeated Bai Cheng in front of everyone. During this month, Xiao Yuan almost never left the house and stayed in the Lion Heart Club. One reason was to practice fighting skills, and the other was because he had defeated Bai Cheng and became a master on the "Strong List".

According to the rules, in the "Strong List" of the inner courtyard, as long as someone can defeat the person on it, the winner will be able to replace the loser's ranking on the "Strong List". Bai Cheng ranked thirty-fourth on the "Strong List", so now that Xiao Yuan defeated him, he not only became a master of the "Strong List", but also occupied this position.

Thirty-fourth place, although this result does not seem to be very high, but in this inner courtyard full of geniuses, it is enough to represent the excellence of the holder of this rank. On the strong list, almost every improvement in rank will involve extremely difficult struggles!

However, although it is quite difficult to be among the top masters in the strong list, once you are on it, the rich treatment is enough to make many people jealous and envious. You know, as the 34th on the strong list, he can receive 200 days of fire energy from the inner courtyard every month. Although Xiao Yuan has not entered the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower for training and has snatched a lot of fire energy from his seniors, he has no shortage of fire energy to squander for the time being, but in the eyes of others, this is an extremely generous bonus.

In the Strong List, as long as you move up a little bit, the treatment you get will be much more generous. Therefore, after Xiao Yuan defeated Bai Cheng and took the 34th place on the "Strong List", people started to appear one after another, and challenge letters were sent to the Lion Heart Club in piles. Although Xiao Yan's strength in the battle that day was extremely powerful, no matter what, in the eyes of many people, his strength is just that of a great fighting master!

Therefore, many people subconsciously believe that it may not be difficult to defeat Xiao Yuan. After all, he has been staying at home all the time. It seems that he is unable to continue fighting due to the damage he has done in his body after using secret techniques, so he dare not let others find him!
But Xiao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to them. It was already good enough that he didn't go out to cause trouble for the top 30. Why would he want to waste his time on people who even Bai Cheng couldn't beat?

Therefore, Xiao Yuan did as they wished and asked A Tai to spread the word that he was recuperating from his injuries and invited some to fight!
This could only make those who wanted to use Xiao Yuan as a stepping stone to improve their status stare helplessly. After all, there were also rules in the inner courtyard. The injured had the right to refuse challenges from others without any burden.

However, soon, another incident diverted everyone's attention away from Xiao Yuan!
With Han Yue's deliberate promotion, the Lionheart Society's elixirs became popular throughout the inner courtyard within just one month!
As the drug monopoly force in the inner courtyard, the Medicine Gang was in an uproar!
In the huge and spacious and luxurious room, more than a dozen people were sitting inside. The atmosphere was a little depressing, with some dark waves flowing faintly.

At the head of the large table in the room, Han Xian, dressed in an alchemist's robe, was leaning against a chair. On his chest, there was a picture of an ancient medicine cauldron. Four silver ripples flashed on the surface of the cauldron. The dazzling light made the other dozen people in the room dare not look directly at it.

"Who can tell me when an alchemist will appear in this Lionheart Club?" The silence lasted for a long time, and Han Xian finally spoke slowly. His voice was low and contained a hint of anger. At this moment, in front of him, there were three pills. They were the three kinds of pills sold by the Lionheart Club.

"It is said that it was made by their vice president, Xiao Yan, the younger brother of Xiao Yuan."

Someone below replied in a low voice.

"It's this Xiao Yuan again!" Han Xian said with gritted teeth, his face gloomy and a little painful.

"These three kinds of elixirs are better and cheaper than any other kind we sell." Han Xian stared at the elixirs in front of him and said coldly, "Add to that Han Yue's propaganda, I'm afraid our monopoly on elixirs sales won't last long!"

After a moment of silence, Han Xian still couldn't swallow this anger, and said sinisterly: "Investigate the medicinal materials they bought. We will buy them all at double the price. My medicine gang doesn't have much, but it has a lot of fire energy!"

"Yes!" Hearing Han Xian speak, the people below immediately responded in unison.
