Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"You, you, can you even concoct such elixirs? You're just a Seventh Rank Alchemist, so why... As far as I know, even a Seventh Rank Alchemist shouldn't be this terrifying."

Yun Yun was completely dumbfounded, her heartbeat racing to the extreme, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.

She simply couldn't imagine.

The Dou Huang Dan was already powerful enough, but the Breakthrough Sect Pill...

Xu Ran is a Seventh Rank Alchemist, isn't he? Why can he concoct such a terrifying pill?

Normal Seventh Rank Alchemists probably can't even concoct the Dou Huang Dan, or else the world would go mad. If every Seventh Rank Alchemist could concoct the Dou Huang Dan, the status of an alchemist would become even more exalted, soaring to an unimaginable level.

The Breakthrough Sect Pill was even more unimaginable.

Even in Zhongzhou, a Dou Zong Expert might not be the pinnacle of masters but would certainly be considered a mainstay. But...

"These elixirs are all my own creations. Only I can concoct them. The Breakthrough Sect Pills that I concoct are different from the ones concocted by other alchemists on the continent. As long as one has the 'Cultivation Level' of a Dou Huang, after taking it, they would be able to break through to a Dou Zong," Xu Ran said leisurely, and the sight of Yun Yun's blushing face and heaving chest made Xu Ran even more enchanted by this national comic goddess. The Breakthrough Sect Pill of the Fighting Spirit Continent normally only increases the chance for those at the Dou Huang Pinnacle to break through to Dou Zong, but the effects are naturally different when concocted by Xu Ran.

"Created yourself?"

Yun Yun's cheeks twitched, somewhat in disbelief.

But the reality was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe.

What reason would Xu Ran have to lie to her? With such a heaven-defying strength, he had no need to deceive her at all.

Although she was the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, in Xu Ran's eyes, she was perhaps nothing. At least, her strength certainly wouldn't be regarded by Xu Ran.

"Also, who told you I'm just a Seventh Grade Alchemist?" Xu Ran's indifferent voice echoed in Yun Yun's ears.

"You're not a Seventh Grade Alchemist? Then how did you concoct the Dou Huang Dan? And the pill that allows one to ascend to a Dou Zong can't possibly be a Sixth-Grade Elixir, right?" Yun Yun had been so startled by Xu Ran time and again that her mind was already muddled.

"Are you a bimbo with nothing but looks?" Xu Ran quirked his lips, but his gaze couldn't help glancing towards a certain place, just briefly, of course.

"You're the bimbo with nothing but looks."

Yun Yun covered her chest and glared at Xu Ran with indignation.

How could Xu Ran, that scoundrel, speak about her like that? As the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, did she seem like a mindless person? Moreover, Xu Ran had the audacity to tease her about her body!

"If I'm not a Seventh Grade Alchemist, must I be below the Sixth Grade?"

"You mean... you are...?"

Yun Yun paused for a moment, then her beautiful eyes became vacant, completely frozen. Her body also stopped moving and remained still for quite a while.

She was utterly flabbergasted.

Xu Ran meant that he wasn't just a Seventh Grade Alchemist?

Oh my God!

Could it be that Xu Ran is an Eighth-grade Pharmacist?

This, this, this...

If a Seventh-grade Alchemist was an extremely rare existence throughout the entire Northwest Continent, then an Eighth-grade Alchemist was truly unique. Perhaps there were some, but as the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, she had yet to hear of any Eighth-grade Alchemist on the Northwest Continent. Even if there were, they would be exceedingly scarce.

Eighth-grade Alchemist!

Even if the Jia Ma Empire had not produced any well-known strong individuals, just having an Eighth-grade Alchemist was enough to make the other nations and forces of the Northwest Continent look up to them.

"You're not fooling me, are you? Why do I feel like you're a big liar?" Yun Yun's face blushed as she stared at Xu Ran. In her eyes, let alone an Eighth-grade Alchemist, even a Seventh-grade Alchemist should have been a person of almost transcendent character. Those individuals would have let go of everything else, devoting their hearts to studying elixirs, and that was why they could achieve such accomplishments.

Yet Xu Ran was nothing like that.

Xu Ran was also too young, completely different from the Great Alchemist Masters in her eyes.

Moreover, Xu Ran was such a philanderer; how could he possibly concentrate on alchemy? Then how had he become such a powerful alchemist? If one said that cultivation could depend on talent and the support of a powerful backing, alchemy required intelligence and diligence.

"Do I look like a swindler? When have I ever deceived you?" Xu Ran was speechless. Why did everyone look at him and see a big bad wolf? His demeanor was clearly very gentle and kind-hearted, so what was the reason for this belief?

"I don't know either. I just feel that you don't seem like an Eighth-grade Alchemist," Yun Yun said somewhat sheepishly. However, the fact that Xu Ran could produce elixirs had already convinced her.

But her pride wouldn't allow such a huge gap between her and Xu Ran.

The arrival of Xu Ran had completely shattered all her former pride.

Before Xu Ran's arrival, she had also thought herself strong, with few in the Jia Ma Empire who could match her. But the gap between her and Xu Ran was so vast, so insurmountable, that she felt she could never catch up in her lifetime.

And with Xu Ran's support, aside from Ya Fei, the others around him would also surpass her very soon.

Especially her disciple, Nalan Yanran.

Given Yanran's great relationship with Xu Ran, she would likely soon obtain a Fighting Emperor Pill and become a Douhuang. By then, Yanran's strength might even surpass hers. How could she, who had always been so proud and haughty, accept that? If her own disciple far exceeded her in "Cultivation Level," she would be devastated.

Even though she wished well for Yanran, being surpassed would still hurt.

"Won't we know in the future?"

"What now, are you still refusing me? Such a good opportunity, under the heavens, only you could have this chance. This is only because I considered your relationship with Yanran that I decided to grant you this favor."

"It's said that Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe is also attempting to reach Dou Zong. What if I bring out a Breakthrough Sect Pill, I wonder what would happen then?" A thought struck Xu Ran—wouldn't that mean he could see the lofty Queen Medusa bowing her head before him?

Maybe she would even kneel before him... of course, that would be when it was just the two of them alone.

Hehe...

Just thinking about it felt quite wonderful.

"Truly shameless," Yun Yun bit her lip, wishing she could fiercely kick Xu Ran.

Would this fellow resort to such means to bully Queen Medusa then? Suddenly, Yun Yun felt a sense of camaraderie with Medusa. One was the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, and the other was the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, both high and mighty figures, yet in front of Xu Ran...

After a moment of deep contemplation, Yun Yun made up her mind.

Xu Ran was offering too much...

And if it didn't involve selling her body, she didn't care about the rest. What did it matter if she served as a maid to Xu Ran for a few days? Xu Ran was an Eighth-grade Pharmacist and had once saved her life; she could consider it repaying the life-saving grace she owed him.
