"Yes, young master."
Uncle Zhang glanced at Liu Xi and replied with a smile.
He felt that the young master was acting strangely today.
He wasn't as frivolous as before, nor did he clamor for them to find him women for entertainment.
It was so quiet, it almost felt unreal.
However, considering that the young master had just suffered a setback at the city lord's house and probably hadn't recovered yet, I didn't dwell on the matter.
Soon, the Jia Lie family arrived.
"Hehe, welcome, welcome. This must be Master Liu Xi, the esteemed disciple of Master Xuan Hao."
"Master Liu, please come in. We have prepared a banquet in your residence to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey!"
Galebi's face was practically splitting open with laughter.
Unexpectedly, the Jialie family would encounter such good fortune.
They want to bring a top-tier alchemist into their family.
Although he was only staying there for a short period of time, he could already imagine that his family, the Jia Lie family, was about to rise to prominence.
Liu Xi sized up this cannon fodder family that had appeared in Wutan City.
Speaking of which, the Jia Lie family and the Oba family have had a pretty miserable time.
Their entire clan was wiped out by Xiao Yan simply because of a business dispute.
However, Liu Xi had no intention of sympathizing with them.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty reign supreme, the extermination of an entire race is nothing out of the ordinary.
Fortunately, the Yunlan Sect was a reputable and righteous sect, and they didn't bother with the powerless and furious Xiao Huohuo.
Otherwise, based on his rants and ravings about "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river...", he would have been wiped out long ago.
Although Xiao Xun'er is there, it's not certain that they can successfully kill her.
But the losses were heavy, so it was necessary.
It can only be said that before Yunshan turned to the dark side, the Yunlan Sect was still quite upright and magnanimous in its conduct.
Under the warm welcome of the Jialiebi family, Liu Xi was able to fully experience the unique cuisine of the Dou Qi Continent.
I ate my fill and felt great.
And she was accompanied by a beautiful girl from the Jia Lie family.
It has to be said that alchemists are incredibly sought-after.
In the evening, Jialiebi arranged for two beautiful women to accompany Liu Xi.
Is Liu Xi that kind of person?
He is!
However, for the sake of his own survival, Liu Xi still righteously refused.
...
In the room, Liu Xi sat cross-legged, recalling the memory of repairing the last Liu Xi.
Mysterious Fire Technique, a low-level Mysterious Rank cultivation technique with fire attribute.
Mystic Fire Fist, a low-level Mystic-rank combat skill with fire attribute.
Mystic Fire Step, a low-level Mystic-rank movement technique with fire attribute.
Fiery Palm, a mid-level Xuan-rank fire-attribute combat skill.
It must be said that Liu Xi's adoptive master was really good to his disciple.
Profound-level cultivation techniques and combat skills are rare even in the entire Jia Ma Empire.
The three items together are worth as much as a mid-level Xuan-rank item.
Unfortunately, Liu Xi was too frivolous and lustful, wasting his precious time.
Otherwise, he might already be at the level of a Battle Master.
"Whether it works or not depends on this!"
Liu Xi gritted his teeth and began to comprehend the fire-attribute battle qi in the world according to the chain repair method he remembered.
boom!
The next second, the air churned, and a hurricane suddenly swept through Liu Xi's room.
"Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Liu Xi suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"What's going on? Isn't this guy's memory supposed to be like fire-attribute battle aura in the air, lifeless and devoid of vitality, like a thin veil of mist? Why is what I see so clear and so vibrant!?"
Liu Xi was afraid that he had misread it.
He quickly closed his eyes and continued to use his soul power to sense.
At the same time, the Mysterious Fire Technique also started operating unconsciously.
boom!
This time, he felt it very clearly.
The fire-attribute battle energy in the world seemed to come alive, rushing into his body in a frenzy.
"Holy crap, this is incredible! Has my soul mutated?!"
Liu Xi was overjoyed at the sight, but his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He forcibly suppressed his restless heart and focused on repairing the chain.
Buzz!
A hurricane swept through the room.
A large patch of pale yellow, scorching substance emerged from the air and surged toward the willow mat in the center of the room.
At the same time, within Liu Xi's body, the location containing the Dou Qi vortex was also undergoing a change.
"Hey, what's going on? Why is my Battle Qi Cyclone starting to shrink?!"
"No way! I'm a six-star fighter, don't shrink me away like that!"
"Holy crap!"
Not long after the chain was repaired, a roar suddenly erupted from Liu Xi's heart.
Click!
The outermost ring of the willow mat's fighting energy vortex collapsed.
Click!
He collapsed on the second lap as well.
Click!
Click!
He collapsed on the third and fourth laps as well.
"Damn it, my cultivation level has dropped! I'm doomed! I'm going to become the next Xiao Yan!"
Click!
Click!
Liu Xi saw the Dou Qi vortex in his dantian area shrinking continuously.
Finally, it shrank to a tiny circle, and everyone was numb.
Whoosh!
Liu Xi opened her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
It's over.
Not only is there no system, but how come my cultivation level has regressed after trying to cultivate the system?
Seriously, when you're down on your luck, even drinking water can cause problems!
"Wait, something's not right!"
"Why do I feel like my power has actually increased!"
Suddenly, Liu Xi let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
Liu Xi was still aware of Liu Xi's physical condition.
Because the previous willow mat was too absurd.
Therefore, my body was completely drained.
I couldn't muster any strength at all.
But now, Liu Xi clearly felt that his limbs and bones were full of energy.
Liu Xi was puzzled and fell into deep thought.
Unbeknownst to Liu Xi, a faint golden hue flashed across his forehead the instant he finished his practice.
...
"One good news, one bad news!"
Liu Xi quickly figured out part of the situation.
"The good news is that I seem to actually have fire attributes."
"Moreover, my soul power seems to be very strong, and I've seen a lot of fire-attribute battle qi!"
"It seems my soul talent is quite good, probably even better than that of the original Liu Xi!"
"But I'm not sure yet whether my soul attributes are suitable for alchemy."
"The bad news is that my battle qi level is regressing every time I repair the chain."
"Although it seems that I absorbed a lot of fire-attribute battle qi, it did not increase my battle qi level; on the contrary, it caused my battle qi level to regress!"
Liu Xi was now filled with doubt and uncertainty; he didn't know what was going on.
Could it be that there's an old man inside my body?!
That's outrageous!
In the end, Liu Xi decided to put aside his doubts and continue repairing the chain.
"I don't believe you'll keep regressing. What if there really is an old man inside me..."
Full of anticipation, Liu Xi quickly entered a deep repair phase.
However, the old man did not, but a faint, yet dazzling, golden hue appeared between Liu Xi's eyebrows.
The gold color resembled a small pattern, much like the legendary bloodline emblem.
If you look closely, you'll see that this faint gold hue actually has three inconspicuous little lines.
Upon closer inspection, these three small lines actually resemble the small claws of some kind of bird...
