People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

101: Chapter 101 I, Feng Qing’er, am not a fool! It’s all thanks to your lucky brother!”After all, this is the dragon phoenix origin fruit.”

For the dragon phoenix origin fruit, even if it meant offending Gu Xun’er, the daughter of the Gu Clan’s patriarch, Feng Qing’er felt it was worth it.

This wasn’t because she was stupid or foolish, but because this dragon phoenix origin fruit was worth it.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Beast Region had three great magical beast clans: the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan.

But those within knew the truth; the only one that could rival the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan. The bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan she belonged to had already degenerated.

Although it was truly hurtful, in the words of the Void Ancient Dragons, they were just a group of mixed-feathered birds with an unauthentic taste.

As for the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, due to their indiscriminate breeding, their bloodline was even thinner than that of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and was not worth mentioning.

As for the dragon phoenix origin fruit, it required absorbing the vitality of a Void Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix to have a less than ten percent chance of appearing. Only descendants of the Void Ancient Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodlines could refine it. Upon success, one would possess the strengths of both clans and all their abilities, becoming the true sovereign magical beast, the Dragon Phoenix.

Once one became a Dragon Phoenix, stepping into the Dou Sheng level was only natural. Becoming a Nine-Star Dou Sheng was just a matter of time, and the chance of reaching the Dou Di level would be higher than that of other Nine-Star Dou Shengs.

For this fruit, offending Gu Xun’er was fine. After all, she couldn’t speak of the matters in the Diary, nor could she persuade the Gu Clan to take action against the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

With the personality and attitude of the Gu Clan’s higher-ups, if Xun’er asked them to attack the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan just to snatch Xiao Ting, they would only wish for Xiao Ting to die sooner.

By the time Xun’er grew powerful, Feng Qing’er, having refined the dragon phoenix origin fruit, would have no fear at all. It was a gamble worth taking.

Unfortunately, constrained by the Diary, she could not do anything to harm Xiao Ting.

”If I can’t harm him, then I must please him.”

”I must become his friend as soon as possible and gain his approval.”

”Only descendants of the Void Ancient Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix can refine the dragon phoenix origin fruit. It’s useless to him, but if I become his friend, he will definitely consider giving it to me. After all, if I become a Dragon Phoenix at the Dou Sheng level, I would be a great help to him.”

At this moment, Feng Qing’er’s desire to befriend Xiao Ting, to know him deeply, and to become his best friend was stronger than ever.

As for women like Cao Ying, Tang Huo’er, Huo Zhi, and Yao Ling, they were amazed and also wanted to befriend Xiao Ting.

After all, since they couldn’t harm him, even without considering the Plane Blessing, being friends with someone who knew about countless opportunities on the Fighting Qi Continent only had benefits. His sudden mention of a Dou Sheng Relic was proof enough.

Who knows, he might even know about more Dou Di inheritances or Nine-Star Dou Sheng relics and inheritances.

---

The night passed in silence, and the next day arrived.

Xiao Ting went to find Xun’er for breakfast as usual, mentioning all the girls in the Diary along the way.

These women were approaching him even at the risk of exposure, especially Medusa, who couldn’t wait to make her presence felt every day. It wasn’t hard for him to guess some things.

After finishing these tasks, he went to find Yao Lao to continue learning alchemy.

When Xiao Yan’s strength reached the Dou Ling level, he could already refine fifth-grade pills.

In other words, with his current Dou Qi cultivation and strong soul power, he only lacked experience to refine fifth-grade pills.

”Your control over Dou Qi is becoming more and more proficient. These first-grade pills are of the highest quality. Mastering one grade allows you to understand the rest,” Yao Lao said, examining the pills Xiao Ting had refined with a satisfied smile. ”Next, you can try refining second-grade pills.”

”Starting on second-grade pills already?” Xiao Yan’s voice drifted over, sounding a bit gloomy.

Comparison is the thief of joy; he was utterly crushed by the talent Xiao Ting displayed.

”Little Yanzi, don’t be discouraged. You’ve actually done very well,” Yao Lao comforted him earnestly. ”Your rate of progress is no worse than mine was back then. You’d be considered a genius even in the Central Plains. Just keep it up.”

”Ting is a genius once in a thousand years; there’s no need to compare yourself to him.”

The first part sounded normal, but the latter part made Xiao Yan’s mouth twitch again.

Just then, as if remembering something, Yao Lao asked Xiao Ting, ”Your mastery of Dou Qi has reached the level of external manifestation. You wouldn’t have already broken through to Dou Ling, would you?”

”Yeah.” Xiao Ting nodded calmly and spoke unhurriedly, ”Yesterday...”

”You broke through by fluke, right!” Xiao Yan interrupted, his face full of disdain. ”I’m totally done with you. This should be something happy and exciting, but hearing it now just makes me want to hit you. Don’t say such pretentious things anymore.”

Congratulations to Brother Fluke; he’s even learned to anticipate the answers.

As for being pretentious, Xiao Ting didn’t agree; he had learned it all from Xiao Yan.

”I’ll try.” Xiao Ting sighed helplessly and shrugged. ”But it really was by fluke.”

He wasn’t lying this time. If the Plane Blessing hadn’t been the infusion of natural energy, he might have needed to accumulate for a while longer to break through.

”Enough!” Xiao Yan held up a hand. ”Don’t say another word. I just want to be alone (Jingjing).”

”Who is Jingjing?” Xiao Ting frowned with a strange tone. ”Brother Yan, did you find a girlfriend?”

Xiao Yan: ”...”

Heavens, Earth, please take this brat away.

You are my hell.

Time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

With the help of the Plane Blessing, Xiao Ting’s progress in all aspects was pleasing.

His cultivation touched the Two-Star Dou Ling level, he mastered his cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, and his success rate in refining second-grade pills was extremely high.

He thought today would be another ordinary day of cultivation, but a servant came with a message: ”Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, the Clan Leader and the elders are looking for you. Please go to the Assembly Hall.”

”We’ll head over right now.” The two brothers were puzzled. They shared a look, agreed, and immediately went to the Assembly Hall.

”Clan Leader, we can’t endure this any longer! Let’s fight the Jia Lie Family. In just five days, our Xiao Family’s profits have dropped by at least fifty percent.”

”Yes, if this continues, all our marketplaces will have to close down.”

”The Jia Lie Family is coming at us aggressively this time; we can’t just sit and wait for death.”

Inside the Assembly Hall, the elders had fierce looks in their eyes.

The reason was that the Jia Lie Family, one of the three major families in Wutan City, had somehow gotten lucky enough to hire a First-Grade Alchemist. Every day, he could refine a considerable number of various first-grade pills for them.

With this backing, the Jia Lie Family lowered their prices and soon attracted most of the customers with a larger quantity of better-priced first-grade pills. This caused the business in the Xiao Family’s marketplaces to plummet, and the situation was now very dire.

At this moment, many high-ranking clan members were gathered in the hall to discuss the matter.

”This matter indeed cannot be delayed any further.” The always steady First Elder narrowed his eyes and spoke, ”If it weren’t for Grandmaster Gu Ni of the Mittel Auction House refining hundreds of bottles of healing medicine for the family, we wouldn’t have even lasted these few days. But this is only treating the symptoms, not the cause. The Jia Lie Family has a First-Grade Alchemist. Unless we can also hire one, the situation will only get worse as time goes on.”

”Yes, if Grandmaster Gu Ni were willing to help with all his might, it would be the Jia Lie Family who should worry. But he belongs to the Mittel Auction House, and they won’t intervene in the struggles between local families.”

Xiao Zhan listened to the elders’ discussion, a fierce light in his eyes. ”It seems we really must burn our bridges.”

Watching this, Xiao Ning felt a heavy heart and asked Xiao Yu, ”Sister, is it just one First-Grade Alchemist that has brought our Xiao Family to this state?”

”That’s right, Alchemists are just that terrifying.” Xiao Yu sighed deeply. ”In terms of strength, a First-Grade Alchemist is only at the level of a Dou Practitioner and can’t reach the level of a Dou Master. Any elder in the clan could kill one easily. But they can refine medicine, especially the various healing medicines that low-level cultivators lack.”

”Because of this ability, Alchemists have extremely high status and wide networks. A powerful Alchemist can easily call upon a bunch of helpers. Just imagine a Tier 3 Alchemist calling a group of Great Dou Masters to attack the Xiao Family.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ning subconsciously shuddered, followed by a face full of envy. ”If only I could...”

”Don’t daydream. The conditions to become an Alchemist are so harsh that it’s no different from a meat pie falling from the sky and hitting you.” Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at her brother and dampened his spirits.

”So, our Xiao Family really doesn’t have the fortune to produce an Alchemist.” Xiao Ning muttered softly.

”Of course not...” Xiao Yu wanted to say the family didn’t have that kind of luck.

But just then, two tall and upright figures walked through the door.

The exceptionally handsome one among them yawned and greeted Xiao Zhan and the others with a lazy expression.

To this, Xiao Zhan and the others actually softened their anxious expressions and responded warmly, making the other younger generation members feel like they were seeing ghosts.

”Uncle, I heard the gist of it outside just now.” Xiao Ting didn’t even bother to find a seat. He had known this day would come. ”Isn’t it just a mere First-Grade Alchemist? It’s not like the Xiao Family doesn’t have one. Let’s just teach him a lesson directly.”

Everyone: ”...”

Do you even hear what you’re saying?

That’s a freaking Alchemist! Even if he’s only first-grade, he’s not someone the Xiao Family can mess with.

”Xiao Ting, you’ll talk nonsense.” Xiao Yu spoke up to warn him, but it was entirely out of good intentions.

She had received a message from Instructor Ruo Lin that the Jia Nan Academy recruitment team would arrive in Wutan City in a few days.

With Xiao Ting’s talent, he would definitely pass the assessment, but compared to the true geniuses in the academy, there was still some gap.

If he was too arrogant, he would easily stumble. She didn’t want the Xiao Family’s genius to suffer for it.

”Cousin Xiao Yu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m telling the truth.” Xiao Ting could feel that Xiao Yu meant well. He gave her a smile and looked at Xiao Yan. ”Brother Yan, come and give our cousin a little shock.”

”You’re something else, using me to show off.” Xiao Yan’s mouth was full of disdain, but his movements were not slow as he waved his hand forward.

The next moment, hundreds of bottles of healing medicine and other first-grade pills appeared on the ground.

Every clan member in the room: !?

Xiao Zhan was the first to react. He stood up abruptly and asked excitedly, ”Yan’er, you—you’ve become a First-Grade Alchemist?”

Xiao Yan rubbed his nose. ”By fluke, I have the talent. By fluke, I was taken as a disciple. By fluke, I recently became a First-Grade Alchemist and accumulated some practice pieces.”

Xiao Ting: ?

As expected, it still has to be you, Brother Fluke!
