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

134: Chapter 134 Yun Yun declares herself a victim of injustice”So there’s already information on a Heavenly Flame? As expected of Brother Xiao Ting.”

In the Xiao Family, Xun’er sat on her bed practicing the Burning Technique, rapidly increasing her strength. She had already reached the level of a nine-star Dou Practitioner.

By the time she reported to Jia Nan Academy, she expected to raise her strength to around a three-star Dou Master, and within four months, reach the Great Dou Master level. This way, she could participate in the Jia Nan Academy’s next Inner Academy assessment and reunite with Xiao Ting in the Inner Academy.

She wasn’t the only one thinking this; Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had similar ideas. With the dominance of the Calamity Poison Body and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, they could definitely achieve it as long as they had enough resources.

Not to mention that Xun’er would provide them with resources, even the benefits brought by the Plane Blessing were enough for them to profit from.

[When I get out, I can teach the Di Tier Low-grade portion of this Dou Technique to Yun Yun and Yun Shan.]

[If the two of them perform well and sincerely cooperate with the Xiao Family, I can give them the Di Tier Mid-grade or even High-grade portions.]

[However, it will be difficult for them to cultivate to the second style. Without fire-attribute Dou Qi cultivation talent, sensing the power of the fire attribute requires paying a significant price, and cultivation might not even succeed. The best way is to obtain a Heavenly Flame.]

[But that is not within the scope of what I need to consider.]

Xiao Ting wrote the Diary up to this point, then separated a sliver of soul power to communicate with the altar beneath him, thereby conversing with the several people located on the fifth floor of the Gate of Life and Death.

”Everyone, I have fortunately obtained a Dou Technique inheritance from Senior Yun Potian, as well as a wind-attribute Heaven-Breaking Sword Intent he gifted me. Next, I need to go into seclusion on the eighth floor of the Gate of Life and Death for a period of time. You don’t need to wait for me on the fifth floor.”

”The matters regarding the Gate of Life and Death have been verified. On behalf of the Xiao Family, I agree to cooperate with the Cloud Mist Sect to jointly oppose the Hall of Souls.”

”Brother Yan, after you return home, help me ask Instructor Ruo Lin for leave. Tell her I will arrive at the academy before the entrance examination.”

Xiao Ting spoke with some reservation about the situation and made the decision to cooperate.

Upon receiving the confirmation, Xiao Yan immediately looked at Yao Lao. The latter said to Yun Shan, ”In that case, have your people collect the natural treasures required to refine the soul clearing pill. In a moment, I will tell you the medicinal ingredients needed. When the time comes, send the collected spiritual herbs to Jia Nan Academy. After I finish refining it, I’ll have Yun Yun bring it back for you to consume.”

”Many thanks, Venerable Yao.” Yun Shan cupped his hands in a respectful greeting. ”From today onward, my Cloud Mist Sect and the Xiao Family are in an alliance.”

”Until I obtain the pill and resolve the means Protector Wu left in my soul, please forgive me for not being able to announce this publicly.”

”However, I will personally inform the trustworthy people within the Cloud Mist Sect one by one and establish contact with Hai Bodong.”

”Doing so is correct.” Yao Chen quite agreed with Yun Shan’s decision. ”If you were to announce the cooperation between the Cloud Mist Sect and the Xiao Family now, I’m afraid the Xiao Family would be immediately exposed to Protector Wu. At that time, both you and the Xiao Family would have to pay a price.”

”Cooperate in the shadows first. Once I help you resolve the hidden danger in your soul and you break through to Dou Zong, we will settle the score with the people from the Hall of Souls.”

Thus, with Xiao Ting’s facilitation, the two sides established a preliminary cooperative relationship.

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan followed Yun Shan to the Sect Master’s Great Hall to write down the medicinal ingredients needed for refining the soul clearing pill. A sixth-grade pill formula itself was a resource of no small value; Yao Chen naturally wouldn’t give it out directly.

After completing this task, Xiao Yan prepared to leave, but encountered the person he currently least wanted to see in front of the Sect Master’s Great Hall.

”Xiao Yan, why are you here!?” Nalan Yanran’s expression became very unpleasant as she asked in a displeased tone.

”Heh, where I go is none of your business.” A layer of hostility rose in Xiao Yan’s heart, but then he remembered that the Cloud Mist Sect and the Xiao Family had already reached a cooperation. Earlier, Yun Shan and Yun Yun had even personally apologized to him for that matter and proposed compensation for the Xiao Family.

Now, the grudge of the broken engagement had been downgraded to a private grievance between him and Nalan Yanran.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan summoned his Dou Qi wings with a thought, and his body soared directly into the air: ”Nalan Yanran, in two years at the Nalan Family house, we will completely resolve the matter of our engagement through victory or defeat. Don’t let your performance disappoint me.”

Nalan Yanran: !

Dou Qi wings... Xiao Yan is a Dou Wang!?

”That is a Flying Dou Technique.” Her teacher’s familiar voice came from beside her, bringing Nalan Yanran back to her senses.

”Teacher.” Nalan Yanran immediately went to meet her, asking in confusion: ”Aren’t Flying Dou Techniques very precious? How could that fellow Xiao Yan have one, and why would he come to my Cloud Mist Sect?”

”As for the specific reason, until you break through to Dou Wang, I cannot tell you for the time being. It concerns the core secrets of my Cloud Mist Sect.” Yun Yun’s mood was complex. Thinking of how Xiao Ting mentioned in the Diary that Nalan Yanran eventually left the Cloud Mist Sect to return to the Jia Ma Empire and rebuild it, she smiled and said: ”Your Grandmaster has come out of seclusion.”

”I will be going to undergo a trial next. If successful, my strength will increase greatly. Your Grandmaster will teach you in my stead.”

”In two years, I will do my best to help you win.”

Since things had already happened, looking forward was better than regret.

There was a high probability that Nalan Yanran could not defeat Xiao Yan, but she could strive not to lose too miserably.

Time flies like an arrow, and the years pass like a weaver’s shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

On the eighth floor of the Gate of Life and Death, Xiao Ting suddenly opened his eyes. A long sword was levitating in front of him.

This was the result of his control enhanced by the wind-attribute Heaven-Breaking Sword Intent. It was also because his soul realm, after continuous tempering on this eighth floor, had finally reached the Mortal Realm Perfection.

And his cultivation had smoothly risen to the peak of Dou Ling, just one step away from Dou Wang. Regarding this, he chose to make a final push in one go.

This Gate of Life and Death, created by Yun Potian with his lifelong cultivation and soul, was an excellent high-pressure training ground.

”Yun Yun, get me a Nirvana Pill or a Void Clarity Powder. If those aren’t possible, a fourth-grade Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill will also do. Surely the Cloud Mist Sect doesn’t lack stock?” Xiao Ting sent a voice transmission to Yun Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in cultivation by the altar on the fifth floor of the Gate of Life and Death, waiting for him.

”You’re asking me for medicinal pills?” Yun Yun opened her eyes, revealing a speechless expression.

My Cloud Mist Sect is cooperating with your Xiao Family, not merging into your Xiao Family.

”Do you know how much Senior Yao Lao’s fee is for refining a single pill?” Xiao Ting suddenly asked.

”How much?” Yun Yun asked instinctively.

”Based on proficiency and reputation, you first have to prepare two to three sets of medicinal ingredients. Another one or two sets of equivalent ingredients for other pills are also acceptable. And that’s just the fee for him to take action; it must be given regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, and it doesn’t count as the final reward.”

”Senior Yao Lao’s fees are naturally even higher. He doesn’t even deign to refine pills below the seventh grade. If one wants to ask Senior Yao Lao to refine seventh or Eighth Grade Pills, following the rules, the reward afterward depends on what Senior Yao Lao wants, which would at least need to be something of equivalent value to the refined pill.”

”But before that, there’s a key point: you must have the ability to invite Senior Yao Lao to act. The favor must be acknowledged.”

”Regarding these rules of Alchemists, given Pill King Gu He’s relationship with the Cloud Mist Sect, you should be clear about them.”

”So, what do you think the Cloud Mist Sect should pay for Senior Yao Lao to refine the sixth-grade soul clearing pill for your teacher, for which you don’t even have the formula?”

Yun Yun: ”...”

I might as well have just agreed from the start.
