Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 17: Restrictions in Wutan City

A full month had passed since Xiao Yan started using the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid to practice.

During this period, with the assistance of Yao Lao's foundation-building spiritual liquid and Hun Ruoruo's pure water fighting spirit, Xiao Yan's cultivation progress can't even be described as rapid.

At this time, his cultivation had even reached the bottleneck of the fifth stage of fighting spirit!

You know, the purpose of the Dou Qi stage is to strengthen the body and lay a solid foundation. Generally speaking, the speed of cultivation is extremely slow. Even if it is only one level of improvement per year, it can be regarded as a seed-level figure in the Xiao family. However, Xiao Yan has only used one month to break through two levels of Dou Qi in a row. You can imagine how exaggerated it is.

Although the two have made great contributions, in the final analysis, it is because of Xiao Yan's strong desire to improve his strength. The ridicule he has received in the past three years has made him clearly realize how important strength is in this Douqi Continent.
For this reason, he lived in seclusion and rarely went out, except for some miscellaneous trivial matters. He almost never appeared in front of other people in the Xiao family. His unintentional actions gradually cast a shadow over his image in everyone's mind.

The boy who often sat alone somewhere in the training ground seemed to have undergone some changes that they were not aware of.
Outside Wutan City, in the mountains and forests
A young girl in a black dress was sitting upright on a cushion with her eyes closed. Her aura was concentrated and undispersed, and only circles of light purple light were constantly expanding outwards, like ripples on the surface of a lake.

However, when the lavender halo gradually expanded to a certain extent, it seemed to touch an invisible barrier and instantly merged with it, then gradually faded and dissipated.

After several hours, the girl slowly stood up and restrained her aura. The light purple halo that had been spreading from her ears also shrank back to the center of her eyebrows. The flickering purple light actually made her pure and delicate face look a bit more charming.

"The only Douhuang powerhouse of the ancient clan, you have really caused Ruoruo so much trouble." The girl's voice was lazy and soft, but it seemed to contain a lot of sarcasm.

This tone of voice naturally belongs to Hun Ruoruo without a doubt.

While helping Xiao Yan to continuously improve his cultivation, she naturally would not give up her own cultivation progress.

Because practicing soul fighting skills would produce special fluctuations, Hun Ruoruo chose to build a small wooden house for her living in the mountains far away from Wutan City, and set up several barriers to isolate the breath.

This move was not to guard against Yao Lao, but to target Ling Ying, the Dou Huang of the ancient clan who was hiding in Wutan City and using his perception to protect his young lady from time to time.

Even though Ling Ying's soul power might be just at the weak level of someone who has just entered the mortal realm, years of fearful life in the Soul Realm have made Hun Ruoruo's style of doing things extremely vigilant and cautious, and she would nibble out any possible risks in advance.

Putting away her playful attitude, the girl immersed her consciousness into the soul world, quietly feeling the subtle changes in her soul power after practicing.

"Sure enough, it's impossible to improve soul power in Wutan City as before." Hun Ruoruo sighed, not looking surprised.

"Since I can't become an alchemist, it seems I can only rely on using soul skills to continuously improve my soul power."

Alchemist is the most prestigious profession in the entire Douqi Continent, and the conditions for becoming one are extremely harsh.

First, the soul power must be different from that of ordinary people.

Second, you must possess the special fighting spirit attribute of fire and wood.

These two things weren't just multiple-choice questions where you could just choose one and be qualified; you had to possess both to qualify as an alchemist. Therefore, even though Hun Ruoruo, who possessed pure water Dou Qi, had a soul power far superior to that of an ordinary person, she no longer had the possibility of becoming an alchemist.

If you are not an alchemist, you will not be able to enhance your soul power by refining medicinal materials, so the best way is to constantly use soul skills to squeeze your potential, so that your soul power can be gradually improved and a breakthrough can be achieved.

But in Wutan City, there was clearly no place where she could fully activate her spirit skills.
There was no one around, and Hun Ruoruo was too lazy to maintain her image. She simply lay on the ground leaning against the futon, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and her voice was long and drawn out.
"Soul devouring is still the fastest way to improve. I wonder if there are any edible people in Wutan City. I almost forgot, those minions probably can't even gather a trace of soul power, so it would be useless to eat them."

The girl pouted with some regret and muttered, "Forget it, let's leave those minions to the protagonist to improve his soul power. There will be plenty of opportunities to devour souls after leaving Wutan City."

Apart from the protagonists, in Hun Ruoruo's eyes, everyone else is nothing more than a supplement to improve strength, and there is nothing to pay too much attention to.

Only the protagonist and Yao Lao are worthy of her investment of energy, slow planning, and waiting for the joy of the final harvest.

Perhaps the girl herself hadn't realized that in this respect, her actions seemed no different from those of the Soul Palace.
Xiao family, Xiao Mansion

After finishing his training, Xiao Yan climbed out of the wooden barrel, moving carefully and cautiously, for fear of spilling the spiritual liquid in the barrel.

He looked back at the extremely light blue liquid. After only one month, the medicinal power of the foundation-building spiritual liquid had been almost completely absorbed by him. Not to mention using it for another month, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to last for another two or three days.

Although the foundation-building spirit liquid can be refined at any time and there is no need to worry about money, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shiver and felt a little uncomfortable all over when he thought about going to Hun Ruoruo to "buy" the bone-washing flower again.

"Forget it, it's better to use it one day at a time." Xiao Yan muttered to himself with a sad look on his face.

The reason why he said "use it every day" was mainly because he was scared by Hun Ruoruo's teasing. Previously, the younger generation of the Xiao family had spread rumors that Xiao Yan was crazy about gains and losses, and it has not been dispelled until now.
Although he was quite unhappy, Xiao Yan did not hate this mysterious and eccentric girl Ruoruo at all. After all, apart from teasing and embarrassing him, she had never done anything excessive.

In fact, he was able to make these progress now, thanks to the other party's resources and assistance, so he was actually grateful in his heart -

Even if Xiao Yan wanted to hate a girl who didn't despise him at all and even tried her best to help him when he was most helpless and down and out, he was afraid that he couldn't even have such an idea.

As for having any plans, he didn't care at all. How could such a good thing happen so easily?
Doesn’t Yao Lao also have some plans?
Helping is helping. As long as the other party's intentions do not threaten himself and his family, Xiao Yan will not care at all.

The breeze outside blew through the gaps in the window lattice onto the boy's skin, which was stained with spiritual fluid, bringing a slight coolness and interrupting his thoughts.

"Haha, I've just made some progress, why am I already thinking about the future?" Xiao Yan touched his nose, feeling a little overwhelmed.

After three years, the feeling of having his body filled with fighting spirit again really made him intoxicated, and he couldn't help but look forward to the future.

Watching the sunlight outside the window gradually weakening and the room becoming a little cooler unknowingly, the boy took a deep breath, clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest.

Right now, all the decadence and unwillingness have been frozen in the past, and what Xiao Yan has to do is to continue to practice hard without sleep or food, until the reputation of the former genius of the Xiao family will resound again!
