20: Copy Plan

Xiao Lei was not worried that Otto would be unable to collect poison-attribute Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills; with the Alchemist Guild's channels, the latter could easily acquire them.

It just depended on whether he was willing to spend the time.

However, it seemed Otto was very motivated for Xiao Lei to serve as an honorary Elder.

That's right!

As for why he didn't seek out the Mittel Family, it was mainly because Ya Fei's status in the Family was not high at this time, and her usefulness was definitely far inferior to that of the Alchemist Guild.

After leaving the Alchemist Guild, it was already afternoon. Xiao Lei planned to first meet up with Xiao Yi Xian, and then find a suitable place to stay.

Blackrock City was very large, but Xiao Lei's Soul Strength was not weak, and he quickly found Xiao Yi Xian's location.

She was currently haggling with a vendor at a stall.

"This is a Tier 2 Demonic Beast core! It's worth at least several thousand gold coins. My asking price of three thousand is already very low. Little girl, if you bargain any further, I won't make any profit!"

The vendor saw that Xiao Yi Xian seemed to like it and figured he had her hooked.

Xiao Yi Xian was born with the Calamity Poison Body, and poison attributes held a natural attraction for her, so as soon as she saw this poison-attribute Demonic Beast core, she wanted to swallow it.

But she didn't have that much money. Although being a physician was also a lucrative profession, Xiao Yi Xian always treated people for free, so... "This Demonic Beast core of yours is clearly smaller than ordinary Demonic Beast cores; how can it sell for the same price?"

"You can't say that. They are all Tier 2 Demonic Beast cores. What's the difference? Haven't you heard that concentrated things are all Essence (essence)?"

The vendor was not in a hurry, and immediately spouted a bunch of crooked reasoning.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Demonic Beast core of yours should be from a Demonic Swamp Lizard!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yi Xian quickly turned her head and saw Xiao Lei, dressed in an alchemist robe, slowly walking over.

"Xiao Lei, did you pass the assessment?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Lei's luxurious robe and guessed.

"Alchemist, sir!"

Upon seeing Xiao Lei, the vendor, who had just been wearing a cunning expression, immediately changed his face and smiled fawningly at Xiao Lei.

The surrounding crowd also looked over upon seeing Xiao Lei's attire. Although Blackrock City was not as lacking in Alchemists as Wutan City, a Tier 2 Alchemist was still considered rare, and most were of noble status and difficult to encounter.

Moreover, to be able to meet him on this street and even observe him was quite something.

"Your Wisdom Eye is keen, sir. This is indeed a Demonic Swamp Lizard's Demonic Beast core, it's just..."

When it came to understanding Demonic Beast cores, Alchemists were naturally the most knowledgeable. The vendor, who had been extremely confident when facing Xiao Yi Xian, suddenly lost his nerve when facing Xiao Lei.

"The Demonic Swamp Lizard is small in size and much weaker than ordinary Tier 2 Demonic Beasts. Its Demonic Beast core is worth at most around 1,800 gold coins, wouldn't you say so, vendor!"

The value of a Demonic Beast core is not solely determined by its tier. Otherwise, could a Tier 2 ant's Demonic Beast core be compared to a Tier 2 rhinoceros's Demonic Beast core?

Upon hearing this, the vendor immediately stopped arguing. In his eyes, arguing with Xiao Lei, an Alchemist, in front of so many people would be an insult to him.

This vendor didn't have the guts to offend an Alchemist.

"What you say is absolutely correct, sir. If you wish to have it, I will sell it to you for 1,800!"

The status of an Alchemist is so useful!

Xiao Lei couldn't help but sigh. One's cultivation level usually isn't displayed, and as long as the difference isn't too great, people don't really care. But Alchemists are different.

Even Great Dou Masters like Gale Bi didn't dare to treat Liu Xi, a Tier 1 Alchemist, casually!

"Check out!"

Xiao Lei tossed out an purple spirit crystal card and bought the Demonic Beast core decisively.

After raiding the cave in Qingshan Town and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, his current wealth was quite substantial.

"Why are you trying to sneak a bite again! Haven't we set a limit for your poison intake recently!"

Although he said that, Xiao Lei still directly handed the purchased Demonic Beast core to Xiao Yi Xian.

This little glutton consumed poison like ordinary people ate food, and she had a big appetite.

"I think my poison intake can still be increased. Haven't we been testing the appropriate poison dosage recently? I felt like I hadn't reached my limit when I took that amount of poison before!"

Xiao Yi Xian stuck out her tongue in embarrassment!

"But this alchemist robe of yours is really handsome!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the alchemist robe on Xiao Lei, full of envy. This was her dream!

Xiao Lei had no choice but to respond to Xiao Yi Xian's behavior. He did have some ideas that might allow Xiao Yi Xian to have the ability to refine medicine, but not now!

"Is it possible that it's because it's worn on me, a handsome Alchemist!"

To prevent Xiao Yi Xian from getting sad, Xiao Lei could only be forced to joke. It definitely wasn't because he was vain!

"Hmph, conceited!"

...Leaving the street, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yi Xian casually found a suitable inn and settled down.

Then Xiao Lei began his daily routine of feeding medicine to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Come, open your mouth!"

Xiao Lei conjured Poison Vine Fire in his hand, then used his Soul Strength to draw out the surrounding poisonous Qi and send it towards Xiao Yi Xian.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian circulated her Dou Qi while opening her mouth, swallowing all the poisonous Qi sent by Xiao Lei.

The Tier 2 Demonic Beast core bought today had long since entered Xiao Yi Xian's mouth.

"The Dou Practitioner stage is the fastest progressing among all Realms. The Dou Qi stage is actually slower than the Dou Practitioner stage. For this week, you should stay in this inn and properly digest the poisonous Qi."

"After all this, you should be able to reach the high-level Dou Practitioner stage, and by then, the poison-attribute Cultivation Technique you need should also be obtainable!"

Xiao Lei saying he would leave in a week was not just to give Otto a sense of urgency. He had been out for some time, and Jia Nan Academy's enrollment was probably about to begin.

Xiao Lei wasn't interested in Jia Nan Academy's cultivation environment, but rather because Jia Nan Academy had Su Qian, the most suitable Dou Zong (Battle Ancestor) replication target.

Just imagine, even if the other party was constantly stared at by an outstanding student from his own academy, he wouldn't attack him. Xiao Lei only needed to raise his cultivation as much as possible before then to reduce the replication time.

In addition, Jia Nan Academy also had Hu Gan, a Peak Dou Huang (Battle Emperor), as a target. If Xiao Lei's replication plan in the Jia Ma Empire was unsuccessful, he could keep him as an alternative.

After all, the Peak Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) in the Jia Ma Empire was Jia Xingtian, and he had no relation to him. He had no doubt that if he kept staring at the other party, it would provoke him to attack.

As for the Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) cultivation, there would be an excellent opportunity in the Magical Beast Mountain Range after a while. Yun Yun would have several days of weakness after her Peak battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

At that time, Xiao Lei only needed to find an opportunity to snatch Yun Yun before Xiao Yan.

Then, while Yun Yun was unconscious and unable to use Dou Qi, Xiao Lei could do whatever he wanted... *cough! cough!*

Ptooey! Ptooey!

He could replicate as many times as he wanted!

He could even pluck Yun Yun bald!

At this moment, atop a mountain in the Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Yun was listening to Gu He opposite her describe the Medicinal Pills he had recently refined for Nalan Yanran.

"purple spirit crystal! It seems I have to make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range!"

Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King was also a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor), Yun Yun showed no sign of retreat. For her precious disciple, she was willing to take this risk!
