Xiao Jiu searched the skinny and short guy's body repeatedly until he found eighty silver coins. This guy really didn't have a single item on him.

Looking at the pitiful eighty silver coins in his hands, Xiao Jiu felt his balls ache. Now that he had officially started his training, the first thing he did was to train his body. There were many ways to do that, but he would need to use some special medicinal liquid to soak his body.

Xiao Chen did a simple calculation. If he wanted to raise his physical strength to the point where he was satisfied, he would need at least three hundred thousand silver coins. The annual income of the Xiao Clan was only a few hundred thousand silver coins.

Relying on the clan would definitely be impossible. Even if the clan could take it out, those old fellows of the clan would definitely not agree.

Looking at the silver coin in his hand, Xiao Jiu sighed and put it away. He did not expect that the former number one assassin in the world would be worried about money.

How to get three hundred thousand silver coins was a problem. He could only hope that his luck would be better and that he would be able to reap some benefits from Blazing Mountain.

After making sure that the skinny little man didn't have any belongings on him, Xiao Jiu left. After returning to the place where he had rested, he carried the huge boulder on his back and continued to walk towards the depths of the Blazing Mountain.

After about another two hours of walking, Xiao Chen arrived at a valley. This valley was not very deep, and at the bottom was a lake; the lake water was crystal clear, and there was a mountain spring seeping into the surface of the lake. The lake water should have been formed like this.

Overall, the environment here was pretty good.

Right at this moment, Xiao Jiu did not put down the huge boulder on his body. Instead, he walked to the surface of the lake and leaped up. Under the effects of the huge boulder, his entire body quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.

After a day of hard work, Xiao Jiu's body was covered in sticky sweat. His entire body was hot and stuffy. Furthermore, this kind of hot and stuffy feeling was coming from his heart to his body.

The instant he came into contact with the ice-cold lake water, Xiao Chen felt a comfortable sensation spread throughout his body.

A comfortable feeling spread throughout his body. After sinking his body into the bottom of the lake, Xiao Chen undid the huge boulder on his body and took out the jade bottle from which a drop of fiery red liquid had emerged.

What was strange was that the drop of liquid did not merge with the lake water at this moment. Under the guidance of Xiao Jiu's mystical Qi, it entered Xiao Jiu's mouth.

After Xiao Chen consumed the fiery red droplet, he felt his entire body heating up. When that fiery red droplet reached his throat, a fiery red energy could be seen spreading through his limbs and bones.

Feeling the changes in his body, Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes and relaxed his body, letting the violent fiery red energy wreak havoc in his body. His body was like a red-hot iron that had been thrown into water.

Just as Xiao Jiu was enjoying this process, the temperature of the lake began to rise with him as the center. In just half an hour, the entire lake began to boil as if it were boiling, emitting steam.

Xiao Chen could clearly feel some of the impurities being excreted from his body. At the same time, his originally thin and shriveled body began to fill up under the impact of the berserk ability.

After more than four hours had passed, more than half of the boiling water had evaporated, but the boiling energy had been greatly reduced. In the end, the entire lake surface had regained its tranquility.

It was already late at night with the bright moon in the sky.

He extended his body slightly and swam back to the shore, conveniently washing himself. The spirit liquid condensed by the ancient Heaven Punisher Sword had the function of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the body.

Moreover, this type of medicinal liquid wasn't something that ordinary medicinal materials that could temper the body and the soul could compare to.

After cleaning his body, Xiao Jiu changed into a set of clean white clothes.

Right now, Xiao Jiu was no longer as skinny as he had been before. One could tell that his body had grown stronger by quite a bit, and on his chest, there were some obvious weaknesses. His entire being's essence energy was not something that could be compared with before.

With a clench of his fist, a ball of Xuan Qi appeared in Xiao Jiu's hand.

"First level of Qi Refining!" "My body has finally returned to normal. I can finally train like a normal person!"

He was the number one assassin in the world, an existence that had once dominated the world. Cultivation was a common occurrence, but now that he had experienced it again, he felt some uncontrollable joy in his heart.

Following which, a scroll appeared in Xiao Jiu's other hand. This was the Dragon Tiger's Soul Art that he had borrowed from his father.

In the eyes of others, such a high-grade Qi Method would require at least the Core Formation Stage to cultivate, but for Xiao Jiu, it was different.

After consuming the elixir, he was already at the first level of Qi Refinement. To him, the first level of Qi Refinement had 10 Duan Qi and 10 Duan Qi, which was more than enough for him to cultivate the Dragon Tiger Ice Spirit Art.

Ordinary people would only be able to practice single-attribute cultivation techniques or martial arts for their entire lives, but Xiao Jiu was different. His physique was rather special, and he could practice cultivation techniques of all attributes.

Even though he had been in a 'trash' state the entire time, he still had a good understanding of his own body's condition.

"The Dragon Tiger Ice Spirit Art was originally not called the Dragon Tiger Ice Spirit Art, and it is also not a middle tier Mysterious rank cultivation technique." I can't believe this martial art that once dominated the entire world is letting me meet it again. Maybe this is fate! "

Xiao Jiu looked thoughtfully at the scroll floating in front of him.

"A thousand years ago, I broke into that place and found another incomplete book. Unfortunately, because I was in my soul state back then, I was unable to bring it out. "Since my strength is still too weak now, I won't be able to take it out. I might as well start training with this incomplete book first!"

A light flashed through Xiao Jiu's eyes as he muttered to himself. The complete Dragon Tiger Ice Spirit Art was not actually called the Dragon Tiger Ice Spirit Art, but the Four Spirits Ice Spirit Art.

When the Four Spirits Ice Soul Art was cultivated to its peak, it could condense the four spirits of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird. Its might was boundless.

With a wave of his hand, he could freeze a thousand kilometers. Once the four spirits appeared, no one could stop them!

Although the Dragon Tiger's Soul Art in his hand was only a remnant and was only a part of the Four Spirits Soul Art, it was still worth for Xiao Chen to cultivate it.

As Xiao Chen thought of this, he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the essence of the scroll. After a few hours, a light blue halo finally appeared around Xiao Jiu. An icy cold aura began to spread in all directions with Xiao Chen as the center.

Before long, the entire surface of the lake was frozen by the cold Qi emitted by Xiao Jiu. The surrounding trees were also covered by a layer of frost and snow.

Another two hours passed. It was as if there was a fierce tiger surging on Xiao Jiu's body. His eyes were tightly shut, but he let out a deep tiger roar. It was deep and powerful.

"Roar …"

An even louder tiger roar sounded out, shaking the entire forest. The Night Crows in the forest were frightened, frantically charging into the pitch-black night sky.

His originally black pupils had now turned an azure blue color, and a chilling aura burst forth from his entire body. A wave of light blue colored profound energy soared into the sky from Xiao Jiu's body, forming a snow-white pillar of light. In the next moment, the image of a huge tiger, which had been baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, appeared in the sky above Xiao Jiu's head.

A loud tiger roar resounded in the distance, shaking the entire Blazing Mountain.

"What's going on?"

When he rushed out of the tent, he saw that in the distance, near the boundary of the Blazing Mountain, a gigantic white tiger phantom appeared. This white tiger phantom had an enormous power and covered the sky, but it also illuminated the entire night sky.

"There's an expert cultivating over there!"

Shi Zhi Yuan looked at the distant image of the white tiger with a serious expression.

"This is the White Tiger Phenomenon. I heard that the Xiao Clan's highest cultivation technique can produce the White Tiger Phenomenon. Don't tell me this is someone from the Xiao Clan?"

Shi Minghao's gaze slightly sank as he spoke. Who didn't know that the Xiao Clan Head cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Ice Spirit Art? And it was said that when the Dragon and Tiger Ice Spirit Art was cultivated to the extreme, one could cultivate the Dragon and Tiger Phenomenon? Now that such a scene appeared in midair, he couldn't help but suspect that Xiao Jiu's people had entered the Burning Flame Mountain.

"Impossible! Unless it was Xiao Qian who came by himself, no one else in the Xiao Clan would be able to use his family's inheritance cultivation technique to such an extent!"

Shi Zhi Yuan had heard of the 'Dragon Tiger's Soul Art' of the Xiao family. The scene in front of him was similar to the legendary 'Dragon Tiger's Soul Art'. However, aside from Xiao Qian, there seemed to be no one else in the Xiao family that could reach this level.

Moreover, Xiao Qian had always been cautious. How could he display his cultivation in this place? This definitely wasn't Xiao Qian.

At the other end of Blazing Mountain, another group of people was also boiling with excitement.

"Look, what's going on?"

"Isn't this the Dragon and Tiger phenomenon that the Patriarch displayed the other day? It's exactly the same! "

"Could it be that the Patriarch also came to Blazing Mountain?"

"Impossible, before we set off, didn't the Patriarch say that he would go into seclusion to cultivate? How could it appear here? "

When the Xiao family's disciples saw the image of the white tiger in the night sky, they broke out into a flurry of discussion and were completely shocked. How could they not know that this was the effect of cultivating the highest cultivation technique of the Xiao family?

"What's going on? If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing out here? "

At this moment, Fifth Elder Xiao Qinghe walked out. His brows were knitted tightly as he berated. However, when he saw the image of the white tiger appear in mid-air, he suddenly froze for a moment.

"Elder, do you see the Dragon and Tiger Phenomenon that the Patriarch condensed?"

A good family disciple asked. Who would have thought that he would see such a scene so late in the night? And this scene was exactly the same as the one they saw in the hall of the family head. Furthermore, this White Tiger's body was even larger than what Xiao Qian had condensed. It looked even more real.

"This …"

Xiao Qinghe looked in that direction and was actually speechless and completely stunned for a moment.
