As Xiao Feng finished speaking, everyone in the hall was shocked and somewhat intimidated. Although they had already heard about Xiao Feng's strength through the reports brought back by the clan members who had traveled with him, hearing about it and witnessing it in person were two entirely different things.
The aura around Xiao Feng was calm yet profound, making the elders clearly realize how powerful he had become.
Within the Xiao Family, only Xiao Zhan, who had reached Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster, could be considered equal to Xiao Feng in terms of cultivation. However, if Xiao Feng's identity as a Fourth-Grade Alchemist was taken into account, then his prestige within the Xiao Family was already even higher than Xiao Zhan's.
After patiently answering the questions from the Clan Chief and the elders, Xiao Feng remained calm and respectful while explaining various matters about cultivation and the outside world.
After some time, Xiao Feng slowly stood up.
Under the curious gazes of everyone in the hall, he waved his hand and took out several items from his storage ring.
"These are some cultivation resources I brought back for the family," Xiao Feng said calmly.
On the large table before them appeared several cultivation manuals and scrolls. Among them were Profound High-Level Cultivation Techniques, along with their corresponding Dou Fighting Techniques.
In addition to these, there were also numerous Yellow Rank and Profound Rank Dou Techniques suitable for various attributes—Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning, Ice, and Wood. These techniques ranged from Yellow Low-Level to Profound High-Level, ensuring that almost every member of the Xiao Family could find a technique suitable for their own attribute and cultivation path.
Beside the scrolls, Xiao Feng also placed many small jade bottles containing medicinal pills ranging from First-Rank to Fourth-Rank, neatly arranged across the table.
The moment these items appeared, the entire hall fell completely silent.
Even the elders, who had seen many things in their lives, could not hide the shock on their faces. Such valuable cultivation techniques and medicinal pills were treasures that the Xiao Family might not obtain even after decades of effort.
Yet Xiao Feng's expression remained calm, as if these rare resources were merely ordinary items to him.
At that moment, Xiao Zhan and the elders finally understood something clearly that Xiao Feng going to Canaan academy is right choice.
Later, after placing the cultivation techniques and medicinal pills on the table in the Xiao Family's main hall, Xiao Feng paused for a moment.
He then reached into his storage ring and slowly took out a rolled parchment made from animal skin. The surface of the parchment was slightly yellowed with age, and faint medicinal diagrams could be seen drawn across it.
Walking forward, Xiao Feng handed the parchment to Xiao Zhan.
"Uncle, this is a Second-Rank medicinal formula," Xiao Feng said calmly.
Xiao Zhan carefully accepted the parchment, curiosity flashing in his eyes as he slowly opened it. The elders nearby leaned forward slightly, trying to glimpse its contents.
Before they could ask anything, Xiao Feng continued explaining.
It's name is "Azure Body Tempering Liquid". we needed to take one to two drops of this liquid in a tub of water and cultivate it . it will boost the speed of training by 30 to 40 percent.
"Although it is classified as a Second-Rank formula, the final product is not a pill, but rather a medicinal liquid," he said. "It is refined into a liquid state and used to temper the body and strengthen the meridians."
Hearing this, the elders were even more surprised.
Most alchemists on the continent refined medicines in pill form, since pills were easier to store and transport. A medicinal formula specifically designed to produce a liquid cultivation resource was relatively rare.
"This medicinal liquid is something I developed after studying certain medicinal principles used in body-nourishing formulas," Xiao Feng continued calmly. "Although its effect is not very high, it can still help young cultivators strengthen their bodies and slightly improve the circulation of Dou Qi."
Xiao Zhan slowly nodded while studying the parchment.
Even if its effects were not extremely powerful, a complete Second-Rank medicinal formula was still extremely valuable for a small clan like the Xiao Family.
The elders exchanged glances, excitement clearly visible on their faces.
With the cultivation techniques, Dou Fighting Techniques, medicinal pills, and now even a medicinal formula, Xiao Feng had practically brought back enough resources to greatly strengthen the entire clan.
Xiao Zhan looked up at Xiao Feng, pride shining clearly in his eyes.
"Feng'er," he said in a deep voice, "you have truly done a great service for the Xiao Family."
Around the hall, the elders nodded repeatedly in agreement, their gazes toward Xiao Feng now filled with even greater respect.
Seeing the jade bottle he think again that it is was a nightmare when developing this as
After gathering the required medicinal ingredients—Snake Saliva Fruit, Bone Cleansing Flower, and Azure Spirit Grass—Xiao Feng attempted to refine a body-tempering medicinal liquid known as the Body Tempering Medicinal Paste.
This medicinal liquid was designed to strengthen the body, cleanse the bones and meridians, and accelerate the absorption of Dou Qi, making it especially useful for cultivators in the early stages of training. However, refining it was far from easy.
Xiao Feng's first few attempts ended in failure. Because the heat from the ordinary wood fire was unstable, the mixture turned into a useless black-red liquid. Instead of giving up, he carefully studied the formula again and thought deeply about the refining process.
During this time, Xiao Feng recalled a powerful body-nourishing medicinal liquid used by a mysterious old alchemist who had not yet awakened. He knew that when the time came and that person appeared, he would be able to ask him for guidance and perhaps learn the true formula.
However, Xiao Feng also knew that there was still plenty of time before that moment arrived.
So he thought to himself: "If I cannot obtain the real formula now, why not try creating something similar based on the same principles?"
Even if the result was far weaker, it could still help strengthen the bodies of the younger generation of the Xiao Family.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Feng began experimenting with a simpler medicinal formula that could imitate a small portion of those effects.
After careful analysis, he realized that the failure of his earlier attempt was caused by unstable flame temperature, which prevented the medicinal properties of the ingredients from fully activating.
To solve this problem, he modified the refining method by replacing ordinary firewood with charcoal, creating a stronger and more stable heat source. With this improvement, the medicinal ingredients finally fused properly, producing a blue Body Tempering Medicinal Paste.
Although the result did not reach the perfect jade-green quality mentioned in the formula, it was still a successful refinement.
The Body Tempering Medicinal Paste works by allowing the cultivator to soak their body in the medicinal liquid, where its energy stimulates the muscles, bones, and meridians, forcing the body to absorb Dou Qi more efficiently. The process is extremely painful, as the medicinal power tempers the body from the outside inward, but the results significantly improve physical endurance and strengthen the cultivation foundation.
Compared to those rare high-grade body-nourishing liquids created by powerful alchemists, Xiao Feng's Body Tempering Medicinal Paste is far less effective. Its overall effect is only about thirty to forty percent of those superior medicinal liquids.
However, it still provides noticeable benefits in a much shorter time.
While the higher-grade liquids nourish the body slowly and steadily over a long period, this medicinal paste works in short but intense body-tempering sessions, stimulating the body and slightly improving Dou Qi circulation.
Although the process is harsher and more painful, Xiao Feng believed it was still worth it.
After all, even if it was only a rough imitation, it could at least help the younger members of the Xiao Family strengthen their bodies and improve their cultivation foundations until better resources became available in the future.
Here is the proofread and expanded version in the same style as the previous passage:
Although the process of soaking in the medicinal liquid is extremely painful, it also carries another important effect.
As the medicinal energy seeps into the body, it does not merely stimulate the meridians and accelerate Dou Qi circulation. The powerful medicinal properties continuously temper the muscles, bones, and internal organs, gradually strengthening the body itself.
Through repeated use, this body-tempering effect can significantly increase the user's physical toughness. In fact, with proper use over time, the body can be strengthened to a level comparable to that of a first-tier magical beast in terms of physical durability.
Of course, this improvement does not happen instantly. The cultivator must endure the intense pain of the tempering process and continue using the medicinal liquid consistently for the body to adapt and grow stronger.
Even so, Xiao Feng believed the benefits far outweighed the hardship.
After all, most human cultivators possessed far weaker bodies compared to magical beasts. By using this medicinal liquid to strengthen the physical body, the younger members of the Xiao Family would gain a much stronger foundation for future cultivation and combat.
Although the medicinal paste was only a rough imitation of higher-grade body-nourishing liquids and its effectiveness was limited, its body-tempering ability made it extremely valuable for early-stage cultivators, especially for those who lacked access to rare cultivation resources.
Upon hearing this, even Xun'er showed a hint of surprise.
Although she had always known that Xiao Feng possessed extraordinary talent, she had not expected his alchemy abilities to reach such a level. Being able to study a few medicinal principles and then independently create a medicinal liquid capable of tempering the body was not something an ordinary alchemist could accomplish.
Her calm eyes briefly glanced at Xiao Feng, a trace of admiration appearing within them.
After all, modifying medicinal formulas and successfully refining them required not only knowledge but also exceptional control, insight, and talent in alchemy.
Even for many trained alchemists, such a task would not be easy.
Yet Xiao Feng had managed to do it through his own experimentation and understanding, which naturally made Xun'er somewhat surprised by the depth of his talent.
