Btth: The Rise of Qingshan

"Three-Star Dou Master, this strength is quite acceptable."

Yan Qingshan retracted the Peach Blossom Flame and checked his stats. The absorption of the Peach Blossom Flame had a significant impact on him, especially in terms of attributes and resistances.

"The Peach Blossom Flame has enhanced my fire resistance, so I won't be targeted and countered when facing fire-attribute experts in the future.

Moreover, because it's the origin Flame seed from the wood-attribute Kui Wood Beast, it not only didn't mix my true Qi but made it even purer..."

Yan Qingshan sensed the changes in his body and stood up. His own attributes had made significant progress in this round of transformation.

Several days of hard cultivation, coupled with a Peach Essence Fruit containing the Peach Blossom Flame, allowed him to become a Three-Star Dou Master in one fell swoop.

"Although the Peach Blossom Flame gave me a fire attribute, it's still too weak. I must find a way to strengthen it. Right now, absorbing the Green Lotus Core Flame is still too risky..."

Yan Qingshan was very calm. Although the Peach Blossom Flame had allowed him to complete a transformation, it wasn't enough to give him the confidence to take risks.

Yan Qingshan pondered these questions as he walked out of the valley. Just then, a blue eagle circled in the sky, Xiao Yi Xian's Xiao Bang-won eagle, sending a signal.

This signal was a pre-arranged agreement with the outside world, indicating that the things he needed had arrived.

A glint flashed in Yan Qingshan's eyes, and he spread his purple wings behind him, soaring into the sky.

This valley on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range wasn't too far from Qingshan Town.

At least, Yan Qingshan, as a Dou Master, could quickly travel back and forth with his Purple Cloud Wings at full speed. Before long, the outline of Qingshan Town appeared in his eyes.

Yan Qingshan landed on a hillside not far from Qingshan Town, and then his figure turned into a stream of light, quickly heading towards the Thousand Medicines House in the center of the town.

…

Inside the Thousand Medicines House, Ya Fei from the Miteer family, dressed in a red dress, sat quietly. The usually cunning Mister Yao appeared extremely restrained in front of her, sweat dripping from his forehead. He never expected this seemingly young woman to be so formidable.

Ya Fei lightly bit her red lips and smiled, "Mister Yao, I wonder how much longer it will be before Young Master Yan arrives. I'm getting a little impatient!"

"Hehe, hehe..."

Mister Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled apologetically, "Soon, soon, Miss Ya Fei, please be patient. Qingshan is always punctual. I've already sent someone to notify him, and he'll be here soon..."

Ya Fei's eyes flickered, and just as she was about to probe further, a gust of wind suddenly came from the door. Alchemist Gu Ni, who had accompanied her, looked towards the door and saw a figure steadily entering, calmly surveying everyone in the room.

Yan Qingshan walked to Mister Yao's right and sat down, meeting Ya Fei's gaze on the left, and said, "Have you brought the things?"

Ya Fei covered her small mouth and said with a hint of grievance, "To handle matters for Young Master Yan, Ya Fei has been running around these days, not eating or sleeping well. I feel like I've lost weight. Yet, as soon as Young Master Yan arrives, he asks me for things. I feel... very bad!"

"Don't use that act on me!"

Yan Qingshan's gaze towards Ya Fei didn't change. He simply said again, "I'm asking you, have you brought the things? Completing this deal will be of greater benefit to you. I think that would make you happier, right?"

"You humorless brat!"

Ya Fei snorted, a little displeased. She had her ways of dealing with men, but these skills had backfired on her more than once with Yan Qingshan, which naturally made her quite unhappy.

However, despite her dissatisfaction, Ya Fei was a qualified merchant. After giving Yan Qingshan a charming glare, she waved her wrist and took out five scrolls from the ring on her finger.

"These three are the Xuan-rank high-level Dou Qi Methods you wanted, all with matching Xuan-rank Dou Qi Skills."

Ya Fei said with a curious look, "I can understand the wind-attribute technique, but the poison masters from the Chu Yun Empire have always been despised in the Jia Ma Empire.

If you want to secretly cultivate poison Dou Qi, it's best not to let anyone know. But what are you going to do with the snake-people's Dou Qi Method?

Humans can't cultivate this at all. If it weren't for the Miteer family's deep foundation, with seniors who had ventured into the Tager Desert and made such gains, other families probably wouldn't have this."

Yan Qingshan gave a faint warning and then looked at the other two scrolls in Ya Fei's hand, "It's best if you have less curiosity! The other two scrolls, are they the things I asked for in the beginning?"

"Who are you trying to scare with all this mystery?"

Ya Fei rolled her eyes and gave both scrolls to Yan Qingshan, introducing them as he unfolded them,

"Di-rank wood-attribute Dou Qi Skills are extremely rare in the entire empire. Most of them are collected by the Mu family, including the two scrolls in your hand, which we obtained from the Mu family through an exchange.

Because you were in a hurry, we could only use this method. These two Dou Qi Skills also have some problems. They are very difficult to cultivate, and one of them isn't even a pure wood-attribute Dou Qi Skill.

Di-rank Dou Qi Skill, Mystic Wood Heavenly Thunder Slash, a low-level Di-rank Dou Qi Skill. It uses thunder-struck wood to absorb thunder wood Qi and condense the Thunder Wood True Seed, which can absorb the thunder of ten thousand jun for its own use.

After condensing the Thunder Wood True Seed, you can cultivate the method of using wood to attract thunder, drawing down heavenly thunder to infuse the sword. When you strike, the sky and earth shake, and the wind and clouds change color, with unparalleled power.

However, this Dou Qi Skill is extremely difficult to cultivate. Absorbing and condensing the Thunder Wood True Seed requires attracting thunder into the body and enduring the calamity of thunder striking.

The power of heavenly thunder is unimaginable, and many people give up after trying this stage.

Even if you pass this stage, because you aren't a true thunder-attribute expert, the power of the heavenly thunder you draw down is often unsatisfactory, and heavenly thunder is difficult to control, easily injuring yourself.

The Mu family has had this scroll for hundreds of years, but no one has ever truly mastered it. Now, most people only cultivate the first part, attracting thunder into the body to temper their physique.

The other scroll, although not as painful to cultivate as the Mystic Wood Heavenly Thunder Slash, is even more difficult. No one in the Mu family has been able to master it for many years.

Di-rank Dou Qi Skill, Emerald Light Sun Flame. This is a scroll from the Tager Desert. On the edge of the Tager Desert, there's a plant called the Sunflower, which can condense the light of the sun to form fierce sun flames to injure enemies.

A Dou Zong expert once drew inspiration from this and created this peerless Dou Skill. Although it's a low-level Di-rank Dou Qi Skill, its power under the light of the sun is unparalleled, far surpassing ordinary Earth-rank Dou Skills.

However, since this Dou Qi Skill was created, no one except that Dou Ancestor expert has mastered it. It has been in the Mu family for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to master it."
