Chapter 49: Greatly Improved Aptitude! Hu Jia!

At the back mountain, a slightly desolate peak.

The three of them came to this sunny place specifically for Xiao Xuner's breakthrough.

The fire element was quite active here.

Xiao Ze and Little Doctor Fairy stood by, encouraging Xiao Xuner.

Xiao Xuner opened the jade bottle and poured out a fiery red pill.

A strong scent of medicine permeated the surroundings, and faint red energy ripples formed around the pill.

Manifesting the dignity of a fifth-grade pill!

Xiao Xuner glanced at Xiao Ze, who smiled and nodded. She then gently opened her mouth and swallowed the fiery red pill.

She immediately closed her eyes and began to concentrate on refining it.

The medicinal power of a fifth-grade pill was extraordinary!

Even a pill focused on improving aptitude could elevate one's cultivation to another level!

Moreover, during advancement, there was also the effect of refining the physique. With both effects combined, the efficacy might be even stronger.

Xiao Xuner felt as if she had swallowed a ball of fire, and the raging medicinal power seemed to be rampaging in her body.

But before the medicinal power could erupt, a more terrifying force suddenly surged within her!

She easily subdued this force, which carried a burning sensation.

A faint red light emanated from Xiao Xuner's skin as she underwent the improvement from the fifth-grade pill.

At the same time, Xiao Ze keenly sensed the changes in the surrounding energy.

It gradually began to converge towards Xiao Xuner.

"Is she about to break through..."

The red light gradually dimmed, replaced by an extremely dignified golden light.

Accompanied by the golden light radiating from Xiao Xuner's fair skin.

The energy of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn towards her.

It began to converge madly, forming a faint energy vortex around Xiao Xuner's body.

"Xuner should be able to break through."

Little Doctor Fairy said with some concern. Cultivation to the Dou Zhe level was never an easy task.

Many times, once the breakthrough failed, it was very likely to fall in rank.

"Don't worry, with Xuner's aptitude, coupled with the residual power from the fifth-grade pill, breaking through to Dou Shi should be a breeze."

Xiao Ze was full of confidence in Xiao Xuner. All they had to do now was wait patiently.

Sure enough, as time passed, Xiao Xuner's momentum became even more powerful and vigorous.

The golden light emitted from her body became even more dazzling.

Boom!

Accompanied by a faint circle of golden energy waves emanating from Xiao Xuner's body, a system prompt flashed before Xiao Ze's eyes.

[Ding! Xiao Xuner has consumed the fifth-grade pill, Body Sculpting Flame Pill, and her aptitude has slightly improved. Her strength has reached the Dou Shi level. Congratulations to the host for receiving tenfold feedback!]

[Congratulations to the host for greatly improving your aptitude!]

Seeing the system prompt, Xiao Ze was delighted.

Indeed, this was maximizing the effect of the pill!

If he took it himself, others wouldn't benefit much, and his improvement would be minimal.

But if Xiao Xuner took it, not only would she benefit from the improved aptitude, but Xiao Ze would also gain tremendous benefits!

Xiao Ze temporarily put the reward aside and didn't rush to claim it.

He had just broken through to the six-star Dou Shi level a few days ago. If he accumulated a few more days, he could claim all the rewards he had saved up and possibly directly break through to the seven-star Dou Shi level.

That way, he would have reached a high level within the Dou Shi level.

"Xiao Ze, Xiao Doctor Fairy, I've successfully broken through to Dou Shi!"

Xiao Xuner opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Ze and Little Doctor Fairy, saying joyfully.

Finally reaching the Dou Shi level, she hoped she wouldn't be left too far behind by Xiao Ze.

"Congratulations, Xuner!"

"Congratulations, little sister Xuner."

Xiao Xuner shared her breakthrough insights and the feeling of taking the fifth-grade pill.

"To celebrate Xuner's breakthrough to Dou Shi, didn't we find a nest of Ice Spirit Rabbits a few days ago? Let's catch a few to eat."

Xiao Ze's suggestion immediately brightened Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy's eyes, making them unconsciously salivate.

"I'll go catch the Ice Spirit Rabbits!"

"I'll go find some firewood!"

The two quickly divided their tasks and disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Ze took out a complete set of kitchen utensils from his storage ring.

The three of them almost stayed at the back mountain every day, so they had to learn to be self-sufficient in terms of food and clothing.

Ice Spirit Rabbits were second-order magic beasts, equivalent to practitioners at the Dou Shi level, and their ice attribute made them quite tricky.

Even ordinary magic beasts didn't include them in their recipes because magic beasts preferred to eat them alive.

The meat of Ice Spirit Rabbits contained a large amount of ice attribute Dou Qi, which was difficult to digest when eaten raw and could even cause diarrhea.

Those magic beasts stayed away from Ice Spirit Rabbits as much as possible.

Even if they could defeat Ice Spirit Rabbits, they still rejected them from their recipes!

However, once Ice Spirit Rabbits were properly processed to remove the influence of ice attribute Dou Qi, they became rare delicacies!

After tasting it once, the two of them couldn't forget about Ice Spirit Rabbits.

They even marked the nest they found a few days ago for later consumption.

When they wanted to eat them, they would go catch a few.

Soon, Xiao Xuner returned with three Ice Spirit Rabbits whose necks had been twisted.

Little Doctor Fairy also came back with a full harvest, taking out some special firewood from her storage ring.

Before long, the peak was filled with a tantalizing aroma.

Different from the previous medicinal scent, this fragrance could more effectively stimulate the primitive appetite of living beings, making people unable to help but salivate!

After each person finished enjoying an Ice Spirit Rabbit, the three of them immersed themselves in cultivation once again.

Cultivation was like sailing against the current; if you didn't advance, you would retreat.

Boring cultivation was inevitable.

The only thing they could do was find some fun for themselves during the process.

The delicious Ice Spirit Rabbits they had just enjoyed became the fun they chose.

...

The next day, Xiao Ze rarely returned to the academy to attend cultivation classes.

He was warmly welcomed by many classmates.

In the eyes of his classmates, Xiao Ze was a treasure trove. Just sparring with him would undoubtedly be of great benefit!

After the academy ranking, Xiao Ze deliberately kept a low profile and rarely showed himself.

After all, people always sought novelty, and if you didn't appear for a long time, the enthusiasm would be consumed.

So when he returned today, apart from the warm welcome from his classmates, there were no other incidents.

"Xiao Ze, please enlighten me."

A pretty girl with long black hair and a slightly shy expression said to Xiao Ze.

"Hello, you should be the last one to spar with me in our class, right?"

"Aren't Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy still here?"

The girl couldn't help but ask.

"They practice with me every day, so you don't need to worry about them."

Xiao Ze smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the girl could start.

"That's nice..."

A look of envy flashed in the girl's eyes, then she attacked Xiao Ze seriously.

Actually, the cultivation class had already ended at this time, and Xiao Ze just wanted to finish sparring with the last student.

The other students were scattered around, learning from Xiao Ze.

At this moment, a red figure flashed at the door.

Xiao Ze glanced over and chuckled inwardly, paying no attention.

The red figure walked straight to Xiao Xuner's side.

The words she spoke stunned everyone around.

It was a shocking confession!

"Xiao Xuner, I like you. Would you like to be in a relationship with me?"

Xiao Xuner looked at the sudden appearance, her mouth slightly agape.

There was only astonishment in her heart!

Because the figure in front of her was a very beautiful girl!

The girl was wearing a red dress and had a brightly colored flower in her mouth.

The confession that leaked from her teeth left Xiao Xuner somewhat dumbfounded.
