Xiao Yan knelt on the ground, his face filled with excitement as he gazed at Shui Wuya, gratitude overflowing from his expression.

"Thank you, Master!" He bowed deeply several times, his voice filled with boundless admiration.

Shui Wuya smiled lightly, his hand waving gently.

"This is just a small matter."

His voice was calm as water, yet the power it contained was enough to make one's heart race.

Seeing this scene, the Alchemist felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart.

Yet more than that, he felt a sense of helplessness and admiration.

He understood just how vast the gap was between himself and Shui Wuya.

While he could offer guidance on the difficulties Xiao Yan had previously faced, the rapid advancements demonstrated by Shui Wuya were a realm he could not reach.

The earlier scenario, the Alchemist understood intuitively.

Shui Wuya's intervention was not merely simple guidance; it allowed Xiao Yan to break through his bottleneck through comprehension.

This level of mastery was far beyond what the Alchemist could achieve.

The respect the Alchemist felt for Shui Wuya grew ever stronger.

This senior was unfathomable; each action left him in awe.

"The accomplishments of this senior are truly astonishing," the Alchemist silently marveled, his admiration for Shui Wuya deepening.

Xiao Yan stood up, determination shining in his eyes.

"Master, you have shown me the secrets of cultivation. I will definitely work harder!" he said with heartfelt gratitude.

Shui Wuyi nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as lightning, penetrating the sky.

"Work hard; you have boundless potential."

His voice resonated, deep and mysterious.

The Alchemist, unwilling to be outdone, stood beside Xiao Yan, his expression grave as he said, "Disciple, you must be cautious when you go to the treasures of the two great families.

The foundational spirit liquid you encountered before was just the beginning. I have now decided to teach you how to refine even more powerful pills."

Upon hearing this, excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but it quickly turned into a hint of disappointment.

"Alchemist, at my current level, will I be able to succeed in refining them?" He was somewhat worried about his abilities.

The Alchemist shook his head, a smile appearing on his face.

"Right now, you certainly cannot. But with me here, you need not worry. I will merge with you, and together we will refine the pill."

His tone was resolute.

Xiao Yan felt joy swelling in his heart, replying excitedly, "Alchemist, I will follow your lead."

Then, the Alchemist took a deep breath, gazing intently at Xiao Yan, a mysterious aura emanating from him.

His ethereal form merged into Xiao Yan's body, the two gradually becoming one.

With the Alchemist's presence, Xiao Yan's eyes sparkled with vigor, and the fighting spirit within him seemed to be infused with new life.

The Alchemist's lips moved as he began to chant the incantation for pill refining, wisps of faint spiritual energy swirling around them.

Xiao Yan stared anxiously at the pill furnace in front of him, excitement coursing through him.

He looked forward to mastering stronger pills to become even more powerful.

The Alchemist focused intently on controlling the flames, occasionally infusing his fighting spirit into the furnace, causing the materials inside to gradually transform into a bright orange-red liquid.

"Xiao Yan, pay close attention," the Alchemist announced loudly, then placed a hand on the furnace.

Steam billowed from within, and a crystal-clear pill slowly took shape, radiating a dazzling glow.

"This is the Explosive Spirit Pill."

The Alchemist pointed at the pill and explained, "Consuming it will allow a Great Dou Master to unleash the power of a peak Great Dou Master for a period of time, but it also comes with the side effect of weakness."

Xiao Yan received the pill, excitedly exclaiming, "Alchemist, you are truly amazing!"

The Alchemist shook his head, somewhat smugly, and sighed, "Hmph, that's only because you're so poor.

If only you had better materials, I could help your father break through to Dou Ling in a day; that wouldn't be a problem."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan's resolve strengthened even more. He vowed to work twice as hard to obtain better materials and enhance his strength.

Time flew by, and a night passed.

The Next Day.

The morning sunlight poured into Xiao Zhan's study, illuminating the broad desk and casting a tranquil, serene atmosphere.

Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door shattered the stillness.

Xiao Zhan looked up and was momentarily taken aback to see Xiao Yan standing at the door. "What's the matter?" he asked.

Xiao Yan gazed at his father with a serious expression and slowly said, "Father, there's something I haven't told you."

Xiao Zhan nodded with curiosity. "Go ahead, what is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan continued, "Actually, the reason I was able to quickly break through to the fourth stage of Dou Qi isn't just because I worked hard; it's also because my injuries have healed. It was my master who cured me."

Xiao Zhan's face registered shock as he quickly rose to his feet, anxiously asking, "Healed? Who is your master? Tell me!"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, his gaze firm as he replied, "He's a senior who prefers to remain unnamed."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan could not hide his disappointment but resolutely said, "Regardless, I must thank that master; he saved you! Where is he? I must express my gratitude!"

Xiao Yan shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Father, that senior doesn't wish to reveal himself, and I couldn't persuade him otherwise."

Xiao Zhan sighed deeply, his disappointment gradually fading, replaced by resignation. "I understand; such high-level individuals need not adhere to formalities. It's fine if we cannot meet him; his ability to save you is already a blessing for our Xiao family."

Facing Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan spoke with determination and anticipation. "Moreover, Father, my master has given me a task. I need to infiltrate the treasure vaults of the Ouba and Jialie families tonight and take what we can."

Xiao Zhan's expression turned to one of surprise as he exclaimed, "That's impossible! It's too dangerous! Don't say it's you; even I would struggle to handle that situation."

Xiao Yan, however, replied earnestly, "Father, you can go with me.

My master has bestowed a power upon me that can allow you to unleash the strength of a Great Dou Master; together, we can succeed."

Xiao Zhan hesitated, looking deeply into Xiao Yan's eyes with a tone filled with concern. "Child, don't let that so-called high-level individual use you. I know that person healed you, but you must be cautious. Don't become a pawn."

Just then, the consciousness of Shui Wuya awakened within the ring.

Sensing the moment, he transformed a thread of his will into a powerful aura that surged toward Xiao Yan.

This aura crashed in like a massive wave, causing Xiao Yan's body to tremble slightly as if under the impact of some mysterious force.

The ensuing change made Xiao Zhan's eyes widen, fixated on his son.

Xiao Yan's previously calm aura began to shift, and the air around him seemed to ripple with his newfound energy.

His figure appeared even more upright in the night, as if containing an unparalleled strength.

Xiao Zhan felt the transformation emanating from Xiao Yan, his heart filled with astonishment.

He couldn't help but wonder, could this be the power of that mysterious high-level individual?

The mysterious aura surrounding Xiao Yan exuded an indescribable sense of enigma, as if it held boundless secrets.
