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

196: Chapter 196 Cao Ying: Teacher, you care about me, but Xuan Yi is here.”Easy enough.”

Xiao Ting did not refuse.

As long as The Two Elders Qian Bai could provide the materials, he would not require payment, only a service fee to help refine them.

Two Heaven Venerate Pills meant he could earn the refining materials for at least four Heaven Venerate Pills, or other items of equivalent value.

Upon receiving a positive reply, The Two Elders Qian Bai were overjoyed and did not linger at the scene.

Huo Zhi, who had secretly prepared to intervene but failed to do so, felt unwilling to let it go. She appeared in mid-air and said, ”Xiao Ting, you actually broke through to the Dou Zun level!”

”Yeah, why am I so amazing?” Xiao Ting chuckled. ”Miss Huo Zhi, are you completely convinced now?”

”I was always willing to accept the loss. As long as you come to the Yan Clan, the lost bet will be yours.” Huo Zhi crossed her arms, a hint of stubbornness on her face beneath her veil.

”I naturally trust Miss Huo Zhi’s reputation.” Xiao Ting bowed solemnly to thank Huo Zhi. ”Besides, I know that even if I hadn’t been lucky enough to break through to Dou Zun this time, Miss Huo Zhi is beautiful and kind-hearted, so she would have definitely stepped in to protect Zixiao City.”

”Hmph, don’t think too highly of me. I was hoping you’d hit a wall; I wouldn’t have done anything unnecessary.” Huo Zhi turned her head away, her ears slightly flushed. She felt that all her little thoughts had been seen through by Xiao Ting.

”Cough, cough, cough!” Xiao Yan regained control of his body and coughed. ”Fourth Brother, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

He had rushed over in such a hurry, only to watch Xiao Ting show off and then get fed a wave of dog food?

”This is Miss Huo Zhi, a good friend of Xun’er.” Xiao Ting introduced her to Xiao Yan. ”She is from the Dou Di family, the Yan Clan.”

Xiao Yan: ”Little Brother, you...”

Xiao Yan was no longer the same person he used to be.

He already knew about the factions in the Central Plains, the seven Dou Di families, the three great magical beast clans, and so on.

He even knew that the Xiao Family used to be one of the Dou Di families, but had since declined, and maintained a good relationship with the Gu Clan where Xun’er resided.

Xiao Ting’s speed of making friends was truly fast; he had risen to the level of a prodigy from a Dou Di family in an instant.

”Fourth Brother, go back to the academy and tell First Elder Su Qian that I’m preparing to take you down to the Lava World.” Xiao Ting was telling Xiao Yan not to stand there like a third wheel.

Upon hearing that he was going for an ”adventure,” Xiao Yan readily agreed and used a Flying Dou Technique to leave.

”Miss Huo Zhi, as a token of gratitude, and also because I want to be good friends with you, would you be willing to cooperate with me?” Xiao Ting extended an invitation to Huo Zhi.

Having a Dou Zun expert participate would help him speed things up.

As for sharing some resources, it was not worth worrying about at all.

”What could I possibly cooperate with you on?” Huo Zhi’s heart trembled violently.

Was this stinky man going to tell her a method to rapidly increase her strength?

It involved the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor; surely their relationship hadn’t reached that point yet, right?

”I discovered a special race. They possess fire beads within their bodies that are similar to magic cores, but can be evolved with Heavenly Flame and then swallowed to directly increase the strength of fire-attribute cultivators.”

Xiao Ting, of course, would not mention the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor; it was enough to expose the existence of the Flame Lizardman.

Huo Zhi immediately showed an expression of being intrigued and signaled for Xiao Ting to continue.

But Xiao Ting played coy, saying he needed to discuss it with Xun’er first.

”This City Lord has now ascended to the Dou Zun level and is a Grade 8 Alchemist. If you wish to be on good terms with Zixiao City, you are all welcome.”

”But if anyone harbors malicious intentions, the fate of Venerable Chilian and the Hall of Souls will be yours.”

Before returning to Zixiao City, Xiao Ting suddenly glanced at the sky.

As he spoke, black clouds suddenly gathered in the sky for a hundred miles, with purple lightning continuously gathering and compressing within them.

”Heavenly Thunder Attraction, destroy the Hall of Souls.”

Xiao Ting pointed forward.

The purple heavenly lightning spanned across space, arrived above the branch of the Hall of Souls, and after falling, completely obliterated it.

After doing all this, Xiao Ting finally returned to Zixiao City.

He caught up with Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Xun’er, Yun Yun, and Cai Li.

They spent three or four days together, and only when Huo Zhi was about to lose her patience did he prepare to get down to business.

[The Fire Lizard Clan was born because of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. The fire beads in their bodies contain the power that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor returned to the world after breaking through to Dou Di.]

[Using Heavenly Flame can remove the violent power within the fire beads for direct absorption. A Dou Wang level fire bead can increase the cultivation of a Dou Huang cultivator practicing Earth-rank techniques by the amount gained from three to five days of hard work.]

[If consumed by a cultivator from a Dou Di family, it can also enhance the special Dou Di level power contained within their bloodline, achieving the effect of raising their grade.]

[If Huo Zhi obtains the fire beads, she should be able to use them to transform her Dou Di Bloodline grade. Raising it from grade four to grade six is absolutely no problem. She could be bestowed with a clan tattoo, and combined with her Red Lotus Karma Fire body, her cultivation speed would be faster, not slower, than a possessor of a grade nine bloodline.]

[By then, she will have to thank me deeply!]

Huo Zhi: !

It wasn’t just about rapidly increasing cultivation; it could also raise the bloodline grade.

Generous, too generous. I would even be willing to offer myself to him in the future.

[Yao Ling]: I’m envious. I’ll bring my brother over to search for them right now.

[Xun’er]: Come then. Brother Xiao Ting is already a Dou Zun; no matter what happens, he won’t suspect anything, and will instead think it was caused by himself.

[Feng Qing’er]: Then I’ll come too. I’ll commission Zixiao City to search for the dried corpse of an 8th-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix to find a way to get in touch with you all.

[Zi Yan]: I thought of a way. We can just have a fight, right? It’s completely normal for a Heavenly Demon Phoenix and me to be at odds.

[Feng Qing’er]: So it can be done like that!

[Cai Li]: You attack Zi Yan, I step in and take you down, you reveal your identity as a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and I tell Xiao Ting the news. It’s reasonable and logical.

[Feng Qing’er]: Good idea, let’s do that.

[Tang Huo’er]: Then what about me? I also want to use the fire beads to directly increase my cultivation.

[Cao Ying]: Get in line. I am the teacher’s future cutest and most obedient disciple, and even I don’t have this benefit.

At this moment, Xiao Ting’s Diary continued to update.

[It is better to absorb fire beads of the same or higher realm as oneself.]

[Some that aren’t needed can be kept; I can use them for Cao Ying later.]

[Not just Cao Ying, if Dan Chen and Ye Xinlan are obedient, they can also be developed into Alchemists for my Xiao Family.]

[Cao Ying]: Great.

[Cao Ying]: Oh no!

[Ye Xinlan]: What’s wrong, Sister Cao Ying?

[Cao Ying]: I refined a 5th-rank intermediate pill a few days ago.

[Yao Ling]: That’s a good thing.

[Cao Ying]: The clan elders reported it to the Pill Tower, and someone from the Little Pill Tower came to take me as an apprentice. How should I refuse?

The women: ”...”

This was indeed a big problem.

If Cao Ying became an apprentice of the Pill Tower now, she couldn’t become an apprentice of Xiao Ting.

[Yao Ling]: Pfft.

[Cao Ying]: You laughed.

[Yao Ling]: I did not. I am from a Dou Di family, and I have had the highest level of upbringing since I was young. I don’t laugh easily, unless I can’t help it. (Pfft)

[Cao Ying]: You clearly laughed; you are gloating.

[Yao Ling]: No, I just thought of a simple method to refine a seventh-grade pill.

[Cao Ying]: So annoying. I’ve decided to find an excuse. I’ll just say I don’t take male masters. Although the one who wants to take me as an apprentice is Xuan Kongzi, a refusal is still a refusal.

[Cao Ying]: Wuwuwu, Xuan Yi is here. How should I refuse?

The women: ”...”

Hahaha.

That is indeed quite funny.
