Yao Lao didn't quibble over whether there were two or three portions of ingredients and directly took them, "After this poe pill is refined, I will have Xiao Yan give it to you."
After speaking, Yao Lao disappeared from the room.
Xiao Xue shrugged indifferently and yawned. She felt no waves in her heart; she even felt a bit bored.
On the other side, Yao Lao returned to the storage ring, still contemplating.
An eighth-grade peak Alchemist—even in the Pill Tower, there are only a few people.
And the only one who could possibly appear in the Northwest Continent, happen to meet Xiao Xue, and take her as a disciple is probably just one person.
"Did they find out about what happened when I fell back then..." A flash of Killing Intent crossed Yao Lao's eyes.
"Those ghosts who are neither human nor ghost, colluding with Han Feng to let that Rebellious Disciple ambush me from behind—otherwise, how would I have ended up like this!"
After a long while, Yao Lao sighed softly, "I hope this time, this move was not the wrong one..."
The next morning, Xiao Xue got up with the help of Qing Lin. She didn't Cultivate but instead wandered around the large Xiao Residence.
Cultivating all the time has no benefits. Xiao Xue planned to give herself a short vacation in the few days before heading to Jia Nan Academy.
It's shameful to say, but in the few days she's been back, she hasn't properly looked around the Xiao Residence.
Walking slowly through the Family grounds, looking at the crowded training grounds, Xiao Xue was quite satisfied.
In various areas, many young clansmen were sweating and working hard in their cultivation.
They were all hoping that in the last few days, they could pass the threshold and meet the enrollment qualifications for Jia Nan Academy.
Xiao Xue stood at the edge of the training ground, lazily glanced at the clansmen for a while, then turned and left, feeling slightly bored.
Even now, the younger generation of the Xiao Family had started to compete because of her Medicinal Pill reward policy, but it would be hard to see results in a short time.
Perhaps in a few years, there will be a more obvious change.
The admission threshold for Jia Nan Academy is not low; before the age of eighteen, one must reach the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi.
This somewhat harsh condition shattered many people's dreams.
Before the age of twenty, Eighth Stage of Dou Qi—it doesn't sound difficult.
However, in reality, ordinary people trapped in the Dou Zhi Qi stage who cannot break through to become a Dou Practitioner are everywhere.
If one has not reached the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi before the age of twenty, they generally won't be admitted by Jia Nan Academy.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
If you have some powerful forces backing you behind the scenes, Jia Nan Academy wouldn't mind having one more big spender in the academy who contributes a large amount of tuition fees every year.
Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.
In a world like the Fighting Qi Continent where strength is respected, first you compete in strength, second you compete in background.
If you are born into a good Family, you can surpass others' years of hard cultivation.
In the original work, Xiao Yan's daughter, Xiao Xiao, was born a Dou Zong, and in the Late Stages, her Dou Di Bloodline was activated, soaring directly to Eight Star Dou Sheng.
It's just a pity that the current Xiao Family has long since declined, and the strongest is actually herself, a Dou Ling—it is truly sigh-worthy.
From Xiao Xue's perspective, on the training ground right now, there are no more than two people who have the conditions to reach the admission threshold; only Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei have a chance.
Xiao Ning is already at the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi, and Xiao Mei is at the Late Stage of the Seventh Stage.
Although Xiao Mei hasn't reached the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi yet, her age is also younger, so she meets the conditions.
"Sister Xue'er!"
Xiao Xue turned her head, and a green silhouette appeared in her eyes.
Xiao Xun Er walked up and affectionately took Xiao Xue's arm.
Xiao Xue smiled helplessly, reached out to touch Xiao Xun Er's head, and played with her hair, "What's wrong, Xun'er?"
"Sister Xue'er, aren't you going to stay at Jia Nan Academy with Xun'er?" Xiao Xun Er let Xiao Xue play with her hair and asked softly.
"Hmm." Xiao Xue nodded, "I have my own things to do."
"When other matters are resolved, I will go to Jia Nan Academy to find you."
"Hmm..." Xun'er rested her head on Xiao Xue's shoulder, "Sister Xue'er, Xun'er will wait for you at Jia Nan Academy..."
