Chapter 437: Inheriting Heaven-Rank Dou Technique

Chapter 437: Inheriting Heaven-Rank Dou Technique

In Tianhuang City, on the top floor of the most luxurious restaurant, Xiao Ze and his group booked a private room. The restaurant was tower-shaped, with only six rooms on the top floor, and renting one was extremely expensive. However, Xiao Ze didn't care about the cost. His wealth was beyond imagination; even calling him wealthy was an understatement. The Sacred Heart Glazed Pill he recently refined alone was worth tens of billions of gold coins.

In the original story, the starting price for auctioning a heaven-rank Dou technique was 3 billion gold coins. As a ninth-rank pill comparable to a heaven-rank Dou technique, especially one that could enhance a practitioner's aptitude, the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill was highly sought after. If it were put up for auction, it might even sell for over 10 billion gold coins.

Xiao Ze's casual possession of a pill could pay for the room for decades. The private room had all the amenities, and the large table was filled with a sumptuous feast of magical beasts. Xiao Ze even spotted a dish made from the paw of a fifth-rank magical beast, the Ice Bear—a delicacy comparable to a Dou King-level human.

Since they were among friends, the women didn't hold back, taking whatever they wanted to eat. The walls of the room sparkled with Dou Qi light, blocking sound from escaping while also transmitting discussions from the main hall below, despite the restaurant being nearly a hundred meters tall. The bustling Middle State continent showcased its prosperity, with Dou Qi being used in all aspects of life.

Listening to the commotion below, Xiao Ze focused on the chatter about the recently discovered Dou Saint relic in the southern region. The relic had already been explored by them. It seemed Xiao Ze's early exploration and breaking of the seal had accelerated its activation, making it accessible sooner than originally expected.

"Have you heard? There's a big problem with the Dou Saint relic in the south!"

"Powerful factions were eager to claim prime spots near the relic, willing to fight for them! But when they entered, they found the relic had already been visited!"

Gasps filled the hall below, making Xiao Yixian and the others in the private room burst into laughter.

"Didn't we leave some things behind?" Xiao Yixian recalled, having followed Xiao Ze throughout the exploration, with other areas covered by Xiao Ze's thunder clones.

"Mostly. I didn't take everything, only the items worth taking," Xiao Ze nodded. "Still, having the whole relic to ourselves yielded great rewards."

"We ate the meat, and they drank the soup?" Qing Lin said, her mouth full of meatballs, her voice muffled.

Medusa smiled, remembering the time spent collecting herbs in the ancient forest of the relic. Biting into the Ice Bear paw, she smiled even more. The coolness spread through her mouth as she chewed the tender meat. Though it was insignificant compared to her current level, it was a rare treat that could enhance Dou Qi, unlike expensive pills.

Xun'er listened with a smile, well aware of the relic's details through the golden tree. For Xiao Ze, aside from the Dragon Phoenix Essence Fruit and the heaven-rank Dou technique, the ancient forest with its many treasures was the most rewarding.

The discussion about the relic in the hall below grew lively, with many feeling schadenfreude toward the major factions returning empty-handed. The relic, after all, was only relevant to those factions; seeing them empty-handed was a source of joy for many.

People speculated on who could have entered the relic early and taken so many treasures. Envy and jealousy colored their tones, some suspecting the Alchemist Association, which hadn't participated in the relic exploration, might have taken everything first.

Xiao Ze chuckled at the notion, given his role as the Alchemist Association's vice president, making the speculation partially true. Yet, without solid evidence, no one could pinpoint which faction was responsible. Most didn't suspect an individual, as looting an entire Dou Saint relic seemed beyond a single person's capability.

After the meal, Xiao Ze took out several bottles of golden, luminous liquid—Golden Spirit Dew. This was the concoction he needed for practicing the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Only by tempering his hands with the Golden Spirit Dew could they withstand the technique's power.

"Golden Spirit Dew, as I mentioned before, is a tempering liquid. Each of you gets one bottle." Xun'er and the others had already received Xiao Ze's heaven-rank Dou technique inheritance. Dou techniques on the Dou Qi continent were typically passed on through soul force, sharing substantial information directly.

The women planned to undergo the tempering process in the private room, confident in its robust defenses and Xiao Ze's protection. Xiao Ze watched them, curious. "I wonder who will successfully master it first."
