Chapter 118: Consuming the Dou Ling Dan, Reaching Nine-Star Dou Wang!
Upon hearing Xiao Ze's affirmative response, all the elders showed great joy. Compared to the temperamental Huo Laotou of the alchemy department, Xiao Ze's willingness to make pills was a huge relief for them.
"Of course, Xiao Ze, do your best," said the thin elder, forcing a stiff smile. Normally, he had a severe expression, so his attempt to smile looked strained.
"In that case, elders, please take your ingredients back. I will prioritize making pills for Elder Lin and the others first," said Xiao Ze, bowing to the elders before returning to his training room.
The elders looked at each other, puzzled.
"Is Xiao Ze going to seclude himself again?"
"With that level of dedication and talent, it's no wonder he has achieved such accomplishments."
"Xiao Ze is terrifyingly impressive. His future won't be limited to this northwest continent."
The elders sighed, impressed by Xiao Ze's fervor for training.
After their comments, all eyes focused on Elder Lin, who held a Dou Ling Dan made by Xiao Ze.
"Old Lin, take out that Dou Ling Dan and let us see it," said one of the elders. Lin didn't hesitate, opening the bottle and letting a pearly, shining Dou Ling Dan drop out. The aroma of the pill filled the air around the elders, who inhaled deeply, feeling rejuvenated.
Additionally, the Dou Ling Dan emitted a faint pulse of energy.
"This quality is excellent!"
"I can't believe Xiao Ze's pill-making skills have reached this level!"
"It's clear that making the Dou Ling Dan wasn't a matter of luck; he truly has the talent!"
The elders looked at Lin with envy. Even those who had helped Xiao Ze felt the same, regretting not speaking to him first, thinking that Dou Ling Dan could have been theirs.
Lin, noticing the envious glances around him, smiled and placed the pill back in the bottle. "How lucky I am! I'm going to break through my years-long stagnation," he said, shaking the bottle in a showy gesture before leaving.
"If we had known Xiao Ze earlier, we wouldn't have to see Lin being so boastful."
"Xiao Ze is truly admirable. Despite his age and being at the Dou Wang level, he is not arrogant at all, but kind and respectful."
"And the most incredible thing is that, being an alchemist, he doesn't have that typical arrogance of others."
The elders continued to praise Xiao Ze, not intending to flatter him since they were sure he couldn't hear them from his closed room. They were simply impressed by what they had witnessed.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ze, content, was reviewing the ingredients he had received. "I definitely couldn't have gathered so many ingredients on my own. The accumulation of ingredients by the Inner Academy over the years is incredible. Probably, the elders collected them on their own, hoping to find a capable alchemist."
With this confirmation, Xiao Ze decided to make the most of it and not disappoint the elders. "I will prioritize making the Dou Ling Dan for the elders who have helped me. With my success rate, I will need ten batches of ingredients for five pills."
Thus, Xiao Ze continued his routine of training and pill-making. Time seemed to fly as he immersed himself in his work.
The constant practice with high-level pills accelerated his progress, as such opportunities were rare. "Finally, I finished the Dou Ling Dan for the elders."
After delivering the pills, Xiao Ze returned to his training room, taking out the best Dou Ling Dan he had made. "The best things should be kept for oneself."
He headed to his training platform, not rushing to consume the pill, and concentrated on his spiritual space. The Source Tree was growing strong, already reaching eighty meters, absorbing energy from the space.
He knew that his training speed was astonishing, rivaling that of Xiao Yan after obtaining the Fallen Heart Flame. He thought about the possibility that, as he advanced in levels, his spiritual space would expand even more, improving his cultivation speed.
Determined, Xiao Ze consumed the Dou Ling Dan. The powerful energy of the pill flowed into his spiritual space, nourishing the Source Tree and making it grow even more. Soon, his aura intensified, and the Source Tree reached ninety meters.
"Nine-Star Dou Wang... now I must prepare to reach the Dou Huang level!"
He reflected on his time at the academy and decided it was time to return to the Xiao family.
"After so much time, I must return and visit the Xiao family."
