After handing the Gathering Qi Pill to Xiao Yan, Su Yun took back the other set of medicinal materials.
Seeing Su Yun's actions, the three elders felt as if their hearts were bleeding.
All of that was bought with the family's money!
The elders felt aggrieved for a moment but dared not say anything.
Such was the rule for alchemists: if the refinement failed, the alchemist was not responsible. If the refinement succeeded and there were leftover medicinal materials, those materials belonged to the alchemist.
After Su Yun and Luo Qianchen left the Xiao Family, Su Yun went straight back home.
In these past few days, Xiao Yan would probably be able to break through to become a Fighter with the help of the Gathering Qi Pill.
And after a period of precipitation, Su Yun could now also attempt to break through to the Grand Fighter realm.
Back at home, after resting and restoring his Qi to its peak state, Su Yun once again took out the medicine cauldron.
The pill he was going to refine this time was called the Profound Elemental Mirror Breaking Pill, a fourth-grade pill specifically designed to help Fighters break through to the Grand Fighter realm.
As for the medicinal materials, he had already prepared them.
While Xiao Zhan needed to mobilize family assets for two sets of medicinal materials, all Su Yun had to do was mention it, and the middle-aged steward from the Mithril Auction House would eagerly deliver them.
That was the difference.
Half an hour later, Su Yun put away the medicine cauldron, without intending to break through immediately.
Cultivation was not child's play. Today, after refining two fourth-grade pills, even though Qi could be quickly replenished with the help of pills, mental fatigue could not be eliminated. It was better to rest tonight and attempt the breakthrough tomorrow.
...
At the Xiao Family, Xiao Yan was recuperating in his room.
He had been preparing for this breakthrough to become a Fighter for quite some time, and with the help of the Gathering Qi Pill, he was going to break through tonight!
After an unknown amount of time, a firm determination flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he ingested the Gathering Qi Pill and began the breakthrough!
Outside Xiao Yan's room, Xiao Zhan stood guard at the door, not allowing anyone to disturb Xiao Yan.
In Xiao Xun'er's courtyard, a figure suddenly flashed by.
"Ling Lao, how is Brother Xiao Yan doing now?"
Seeing Ling Lao's figure, Xiao Xun'er asked anxiously.
"Miss, Brother Xiao Yan just took the Gathering Qi Pill and is currently undergoing the breakthrough."
"Good."
As the time for a pot of tea passed, Xiao Yan's room door was pushed open from the inside, and Xiao Yan rushed out of the room, emitting an aura.
Fighter! Without a doubt, Xiao Yan had successfully broken through.
"Father, I succeeded in my breakthrough!"
Xiao Zhan excitedly hugged Xiao Yan. Truly, he was his son.
My son Xiao Yan has the qualifications of a Grand Fighter!
"Miss, Xiao Yan has successfully broken through."
On the other side, Ling Lao's figure returned to Xiao Xun'er's courtyard.
"No wonder he's Xiao Yan."
Xiao Xun'er's eyes flashed with admiration.
Later, the news of Xiao Yan, at the age of eleven, breaking through to become a Fighter spread throughout Wutan City.
Various forces were shocked by this. An eleven-year-old Fighter was like a true dragon in shallow waters in Wutan City.
On the other hand, after a day of rest, Su Yun swallowed the Profound Elemental Mirror Breaking Pill and also broke through to the Grand Fighter realm.
Xiao Xun'er stayed in her room, quietly waiting for news from Su Yun, her eyes filled with worry.
Breaking through realms often involved risks. If luck was bad, not only could the breakthrough fail, but it could also leave hidden injuries on the body.
Fortunately, her worries did not come true. In less than a moment, a powerful aura emanated from Su Yun's room.
Grand Fighter!
This realm that Xiao Yan achieved at the age of eighteen, Su Yun reached at the age of twelve.
Feeling the surge of Qi in his body, Su Yun's face showed a satisfied expression.
The Grand Fighter realm was already quite good. Even the strongest of the three major families in Wutan City were only at this level.
In the Agma Empire, a Grand Fighter belonged to the middle-upper class.
Su Yun walked out of the room and saw Xiao Xun'er standing at the door.
Obviously, when there was movement in his room, Xiao Xun'er rushed over.
She just didn't want to disturb him, so she didn't barge in.
"Su Yun, how did it go?"
Xiao Xun'er asked expectantly.
Su Yun gently flicked Xiao Xun'er's nose with his finger.
"It went well."
Su Yun said with a smile on his face.
"As expected of Brother, Brother is really amazing."
Xiao Xun'er looked at Su Yun with admiration.
Afterward, the two of them briefly celebrated, without making any announcements.
He was a pragmatist, not a hot-blooded protagonist; making a fortune in silence was his intention.
With the breakthrough to the Grand Fighter realm, there were more things he could do, such as condensing Qi armor and supporting prolonged flight with the Purple Cloud Wings.
There was also one more thing: the range scanned by the system expanded again.
Previously, when he was at the Qi Cultivator stage, his scanning range was within a meter.
As a Fighter, it was two meters.
As a Grand Fighter, it was three meters.
And now, at the Grand Fighter realm, his scanning range had expanded to four meters.
The range he could come out of the system space was also the range scanned by the system, which had expanded to four meters.
Feeling the changes in himself, Su Yun felt even more pleased.
The stronger his cultivation, the greater the chance he would have to obtain the Qinglian Heart Flame.
Three years.
According to the description of Qinglian by Qinglin when Xiao Yan arrived at the Tagore Great Desert, Medusa took away the Qinglian Fire a year before Xiao Yan arrived in the desert.
In other words, it was right at the beginning of the story when Xiao Yan had just recovered his talent.
To be on the safe side, he had to take the Qinglian Fire two years from now. After all, who knew when Medusa took it within that year.
As for taking the Qinglian Heart Flame while Medusa was evolving, he hadn't considered it.
That would be much more difficult, facing not only the Serpent-People tribe but also the Medicine Elder, Gu River, and other forces!
In other words, there were still two years for him to grow.
Su Yun calculated the time.
In two years, how much could he grow?
Su Yun was also unsure. Cultivation became more difficult the further he progressed.
He didn't have any helpers now; Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er were both potential assets for the future, but they hadn't grown up yet.
As for Haibodong in the Tagore Great Desert, he was not bad, but his Qi was sealed by Medusa. Once he entered the desert, Medusa would sense it.
Su Yun sighed and didn't slack off.
He immersed himself in cultivation once again.
Two months later, at
the beginning of the month, Su Yun came to the Xiao Family to deliver the medicine for the month.
As usual, Su Yun was received by Xiao Zhan and the three elders of the Xiao Family.
This time, Su Yun clearly felt that Xiao Zhan's mood was not quite right.
Su Yun understood why.
Although there had been no rumors about Xiao Yan's Qi disappearing during this time, Su Yun naturally knew that it was happening around this time.
Originally, after Xiao Yan broke through to become a Fighter, his Qi would immediately be absorbed by the Medicine Elder.
But because of his Gathering Qi Pill, Xiao Yan's breakthrough to becoming a Fighter happened earlier.
Naturally, it allowed Xiao Yan to enjoy the glory of being a genius for a while longer.
