Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong, seeing that Lin Yuan continually refused to reveal the identity of the mysterious alchemist, became even more curious.

Since Lin Yuan was convinced that the person should be able to win first place in the Pharmacist competition, they must not be a nobody.

However, Chen Zihan and Cheng Beibei just couldn’t think of anyone in Divine Sword City whose alchemy skills surpassed Chen Zihan’s.

Not to mention surpassing Chen Zihan, there was no one in Divine Sword City on par with her.

The skies gradually darkened.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the two Four Symbols Spirit Pills he had just refined and shook his head.

In the end, it was a near success; the two Four Symbols Spirit Pills were still of peak quality but had not reached the supreme grade.

Previously, he had thought that after successfully refining the supreme grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir, he should also be able to refine the supreme grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill. Now he realized his former thoughts were a big mistake.

Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian was not disheartened.

He was now close to supreme grade, and refining it was only a matter of time.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian got up early and went to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to exchange for another Innate Martial Arts technique, the Dragon Blood Fist Manual.

The Dragon Blood Fist was exceedingly difficult to cultivate.

It was one of the hardest to learn among the Innate Top Martial Techniques.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian exchange for the Dragon Blood Fist Manual, Lu Zelin this time didn’t say anything, but his gaze was very strange.

Ever since yesterday, when Yang Xiaotian displayed his Summit Mastery in the Tiger King Fist, Four Seasons Sword Technique, and Sword Thirteen, Lu Zelin always felt odd when he saw Yang Xiaotian again.

After exchanging for the Dragon Blood Fist Manual, Yang Xiaotian left the Book Pavilion and happened upon Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan seemed to know that he was coming to exchange a secret tome and had specifically come to wait for him.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian come out, Chen Yuan approached with a smile and said to Yang Xiaotian, “I heard you come here every day to exchange for martial arts secret tomes, so I came to have a look.”

He glanced at the Dragon Blood Fist in Yang Xiaotian’s hand and asked, “May I know which martial art you’ve exchanged for this time?”

Yang Xiaotian didn’t hide it and handed over the Dragon Blood Fist Manual to Chen Yuan.

Upon receipt and seeing that it was the Dragon Blood Fist, one of the hardest Innate Top Martial Techniques to learn, Chen Yuan frowned and earnestly said to Yang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, do you know that the Dragon Blood Fist is the hardest of the Innate Top Martial Techniques to cultivate?”

“I know,” Yang Xiaotian nodded.

“You know and yet you still want to practice it?” Chen Yuan said in annoyance, “Acquired martial artists simply can’t successfully cultivate Innate Martial Arts. If you keep cultivating like this, you’ll surely suffer cultivation deviation!”

He just couldn’t bear to see a martial arts prodigy stray from the right path.

Principal Lin Yong had also asked him to come and have a serious talk with Yang Xiaotian yesterday.

Seeing Chen Yuan’s earnestness, Yang Xiaotian knew he meant well and wasn’t angry, smiling he said, “I understand, if I find something amiss during cultivation, I’ll stop.”

“Thank you, Vice Principal Chen.”

At these words, Chen Yuan’s expression softened slightly, and he said, “What you need to do now is to focus on cultivating your technique and strive to elevate your realm.”

“If you work hard, you might have a chance to break through to the seventh tier within a year.”

Yang Xiaotian smiled, “I will practice diligently and try to break through to the seventh tier within a year.” Then he added, “If Vice Principal Chen has nothing else, I will be going back.”

Then, taking back the Dragon Blood Fist, he left under Chen Yuan’s gaze.

Chen Yuan watched Yang Xiaotian walk away, shaking his head and sighing heavily.

After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian began to practice the Dragon Blood Fist.

Although the Dragon Blood Fist was one of the most difficult Innate Top Martial Techniques to master, Yang Xiaotian had comprehended all its variations after just one read-through.

In the days that followed, Yang Xiaotian practiced an Innate Top Martial Technique every morning, refined Four Symbols Spirit Pills in the afternoon, and cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art at night.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

That afternoon.

“`

Yang Xiaotian looked at the crystal-clear, impurity-free, enchanting Four Symbols Spirit Pill in front of him with surprise and delight.

After ten days of effort, he had finally refined a top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

Yang Xiaotian cradled the top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill in his palm, barely containing his excitement. With this pill, his strength would be able to increase rapidly.

He sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, eagerly swallowing the top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

Immediately, he felt the surging power of the elixir that he had missed for so long.

The next day, after Yang Xiaotian had completely assimilated the power of the top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he barely made a breakthrough to the late peak of the Innate Quadruple Level!

Seeing himself break through to the late peak of the Innate Quadruple Level, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.

The top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill was indeed extraordinary.

Otherwise, with normal cultivation, he would have had to endure a month of arduous practice.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian didn’t go to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to exchange for secret tomes but continued to refine top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.

After several hours of tireless effort, he finally refined three more top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.

Yang Xiaotian called Luo Qing, Ate, and Ali over.

As soon as Luo Qing entered Yang Xiaotian’s yard, he smelled the enchanting fragrance of the pills.

“These are top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills!” Luo Qing saw the elixirs in Yang Xiaotian’s hand, trembled all over, and blurted out.

As a sect master, he was familiar with elixirs, so he recognized the pills in Yang Xiaotian’s hand at a glance.

Exactly because he recognized them, he was shocked.

Even in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, there were not many alchemists who could refine top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills, let alone in the Divine Sea Country, where surely only the four great alchemists might be able to refine top-quality Innate Spirit Pills.

But now, Yang Xiaotian had refined them.

He knew that Yang Xiaotian had been alchemizing every afternoon recently, but he had not expected Yang Xiaotian’s alchemy level to be so high.

Though Ate and Ali were not well versed in elixirs, they had heard of the Four Symbols Spirit Pills and similarly knew how difficult top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills were to refine.

Therefore, they were no less astonished than Luo Qing.

Yang Xiaotian smiled at the three of them and said, “Correct, these are top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills. Take them and use them for your cultivation.” After speaking, he handed out the three top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills to the three of them each.

The three of them froze.

“Master, you’re giving these to us for our cultivation?” Ate couldn’t believe it.

Yang Xiaotian waved his hand dismissively: “I took one last night; you guys go ahead and take them. If I need more, I’ll just refine them again.”

Seeing Yang Xiaotian speak so casually, Luo Qing and the others were at a loss for words for a moment.

You should know that one top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill was worth at least twenty thousand gold.

And that was at the very least.

“Thank you, Young Master.” Luo Qing took a deep breath and thanked Yang Xiaotian.

Looking at Yang Xiaotian in front of him, he felt increasingly fortunate to have met him.

Afterward, Luo Qing and the others took the pills and each went back to their yards to consume them and cultivate.

At this time, the sun was setting.

Yang Xiaotian took the Dragon Blood Fist Manual back to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to exchange for secret tomes.

However, once he arrived at the Divine Sword Academy, Yang Xiaotian heard many students discussing the event where the freshmen from the Divine Sea Academy would come to the Divine Sword Academy the next day for friendly contests and exchanges.

The Divine Sea Academy was one of the four major academies of the Divine Sea Country and second only to the Divine Sword Academy, generally enrolling the children of royal and noble families.

Monarchs of the Divine Sea Country throughout history had all graduated from the Divine Sea Academy.

It was an annual tradition for the freshmen of the Divine Sea Academy and the Divine Sword Academy to engage in friendly contests.

“Tomorrow, huh.” Yang Xiaotian was puzzled. In past years, the freshmen contests between the Divine Sea Academy and the Divine Sword Academy were usually mid-term. He wondered why the Divine Sea Academy had come so early this year.
