"Ancestor, but the first step in Cultivating requires a Heavenly Flame or Extreme Yang Fire as a foundation, and I still don't possess either..." Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan merely smiled slightly: "The Heart Fire condensed by the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique is the Extreme Yang Fire!"
"As long as you remain a virgin and keep your pure body, you can use it to burn your Soul Power and refine the Soul Fire..."
"Of course, using a Heavenly Flame would yield even better results..."
Hearing what Xiao Xuan said, Xiao Yi immediately waved his hand: "A pure body? That won't do!"
"If I have to maintain a pure body just to practice a Cultivation Technique, I'd rather you just kill me now..."
Xiao Xuan was not surprised by Xiao Yi's reaction. After all, it was indeed difficult for someone of Xiao Yi's vigorous age to maintain a pure body.
Moreover, this boy had a beautiful Young Miss of the Gu Clan by his side.
"You brat, judging by your reaction, you haven't lost your virginity already, have you..."
"I think that Girl from Gu Yuan's side is quite smitten with you..."
"If you can win her over, then losing your virginity is fine. Such a good Bloodline paired with a descendant of my Xiao Clan is not bad..."
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi with a mischievous smile and teased him.
Immediately, without waiting for Xiao Yi to speak, Xiao Xuan paused and continued:
"That old fellow Gu Yuan certainly has guts. He sends his talented daughter to the Xiao Family but doesn't even send Dou Sheng-level bodyguards, just letting a small Dou Huang follow her..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be startled. It seemed the Ancestor had already detected Ling Ying's presence.
"A Dou Huang is fine, otherwise, it wouldn't give you brat an Opportunity..."
Xiao Yi heard this and said, "Ancestor, please don't speak nonsense! I am still a virgin!"
Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said, "I know, you are now, but that doesn't mean you will be in the future, right..."
"But brat, I must remind you first. If you impulsively try to lose your virginity in the future, you need to be careful. That Girl has some kind of forbidden curse placed on her by Gu Yuan. If you force yourself on her, it might directly cripple you!"
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi with a mischievous smile. Although someone of his status shouldn't interfere with these matters.
But since Xiao Yi was his descendant, Xiao Xuan was afraid that the boy might not be able to restrain himself one day and end up harming himself by forcing the issue.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi spread his hands helplessly and said:
"Ancestor, this matter is still early, you don't need to tell me about it yet..."
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi with an unusual gaze: "You brat, do you really think I don't know the little schemes in your heart? You're just being stubborn..."
Xiao Xuan paused: "Since you are not planning to remain a virgin, if you want to Cultivate this set of Soul Cultivation Technique, you must find a Heavenly Flame!"
"These things are born of heaven and earth, and finding one is not easy; it all depends on Opportunity..."
But Xiao Yi merely smiled slightly: "Ancestor, don't worry. Opportunity has always been nothing more than a reward for the courageous..."
After all, finding a Heavenly Flame might be extremely difficult for others, but for Xiao Yi.
Weren't they just map quests?
The Green Lotus Core Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, the Three Thousand Burning Flame... Weren't these all clearly marked on the map...
Once the Xiao Family's Coming-of-Age Ceremony was over, it would be time to venture out for experience and leave this starter village...
Time flew by, and a month and a half had passed.
Because he needed to find a Heavenly Flame as the foundation for Cultivating his Soul Cultivation Technique, Xiao Yi did not start Cultivating his Soul Power during this time.
He merely spent his days Cultivating the Earth-rank Cultivation Method, the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique, refining his Battle Qi.
Furthermore, because he had consumed the fourth-grade pill, the meridian-opening spirit rhyme pill, Xiao Yi's Meridians and Cultivation Physique had been greatly improved.
Coupled with the enhancement of the Earth-rank Cultivation Method, the nourishment from the medicinal liquid refined by Elder Yao himself during the day, and most importantly, under the personal guidance of Xiao Xuan.
Within this short month and a half, Xiao Yi achieved consecutive Breakthroughs, advancing from a Five-Star Dou Zhe to the Peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zhe, just one step away from entering the Dou Master Realm.
However, such terrifying leveling speed was still considered a bit slow in Xiao Xuan's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony had arrived.
Early in the morning, Xiao Xun'er still arrived outside Xiao Yi's room early and gently called out to Brother Xiao Yi.
And this time, Xiao Yan did not go ahead either, waiting outside the room with Xiao Xun'er for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi opened the door and saw the two waiting outside.
Looking at Xiao Yan's refreshed appearance, Xiao Yi couldn't help but tease him: "You brat, your condition looks excellent..."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.
Xun'er jumped one step closer to Brother Xiao Yi: "Brother Xiao Yi, I think your condition is great too!"
"And the Battle Qi inside you seems even more vigorous!"
"It looks like you'll be the focus of the entire Clan again today!"
Only then did Xiao Yi look at Xiao Xun'er.
It had to be said that Girls at this rapidly developing age truly changed every day.
It had only been a month since he last saw Xun'er, and she seemed to have developed quite a bit more.
Looking at Xun'er before him, Xiao Yi was now somewhat curious.
Just how powerful was the forbidden curse that Xiao Xuan mentioned Gu Yuan had placed on Xun'er.
But Xiao Yi only dared to guess at the moment; he didn't have the strength to try it out.
After all, Gu Yuan was a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and the forbidden curse he placed down really might cripple him.
"It's getting late, we need to hurry up..."
Xiao Yi spoke lightly, leading the two towards the venue.
At this time, Wutan City, after the Jia Lie Family and the Oba Family were annihilated by Xiao Xuan's actions.
There was only the Xiao Family left as a major Family, so all the resources in Wutan City naturally belonged entirely to the Xiao Family.
The Xiao Family in Wutan City could now be described as flourishing.
As the Clan Chief, the smile on Xiao Zhan's face had never disappeared since he learned that the two Families had withdrawn from Wutan City.
Therefore, this Coming-of-Age Ceremony was the largest in the history of the Xiao Family.
The three of them, including Xiao Yi, looked at the square ahead, which was already packed shoulder-to-shoulder, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"The Xiao Family's Coming-of-Age Ceremony has probably never been this lively before..."
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, his eyes scanning the area before finally settling on Xiao Zhan on the high platform, and Ya Fei beside him.
Xun'er also noticed Xiao Yi's gaze and immediately spoke: "That's right! Ever since the Jia Lie Family and the Oba Family withdrew from Wutan City, the Xiao Family has soared instantly. Even the Mittel Family, which usually maintains neutrality, took the initiative to attend the Xiao Family's Coming-of-Age Ceremony today!"
Xiao Yi nodded.
After all, since Wutan City only had the Xiao Family now, the Mittel Family naturally had to side with the Xiao Family.
The time was nearly right, and the Coming-of-Age Ceremony officially began!
Although the ultimate goal of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony was to test the Battle Qi Rank, the process was quite complicated.
First was the Clan Chief's speech, then the Elder's speech, and so on.
Finally, after all the rituals were over, Xiao Zhan slowly stood up, smiled at all the Xiao Family disciples, and announced loudly:
"Ceremonial retesting!"
"Begin!"
