Yang Xiaotian rifled through the belongings of Qiu Haiqiu and his two companions.

At last, he found a book of alchemical insights on Qiu Haiqiu's body.

Similarly, in the possessions of Li Guang and Lin Chengxin, he found a copy of the Spirit Snake Sword Technique and a beginner's manual on artifact forging.

Yang Xiaotian threw the three bodies onto the mountain path and cleaned up the scene before taking the Golden Armored Beast back to the cave dwelling in the valley.

With external injury spiritual medicines available in the valley, Yang Xiaotian applied some to the wounds of the Golden Armored Beast.

To his surprise, the Golden Armored Beast had an extremely strong ability to recover; within just a few hours, its wounds had rapidly healed.

Yang Xiaotian took all the books and all the spiritual medicines from the cave dwelling in the valley.

As he was not sure when he would return to Divine Sword City this time, he deemed these items useless if left behind, so he decided to take them all with him.

He even took the Cold Jade Bed with him.

Cultivating on the Cold Jade Bed could improve the speed of channeling energy, which would enhance his strength even faster over the years.

However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, the Golden Armored Beast bit onto the hem of his trousers, refusing to let go.

"Do you want to come with me?" Yang Xiaotian understood the Golden Armored Beast's intentions.

The Golden Armored Beast hastily nodded.

"But your size is too large; it's not convenient to follow me," Yang Xiaotian hesitated, then said.

His trip to Divine Sword Academy would be somewhat hindered by the presence of a Spirit Beast.

But then, the Golden Armored Beast's body emitted a luminous fluctuation as it began to shrink continuously, until it was the size of a palm.

Yang Xiaotian did not expect the Golden Armored Beast to be capable of altering its size and was greatly surprised and astounded.

Golden Armored Beasts don't have such a skill, do they?

Could it be, as Qiu Haiqiu said, that this Golden Armored Beast possibly had the potential to return to its ancestral form?

Yang Xiaotian glanced back at the valley and then left with the Golden Armored Beast.

When he returned to Xingyue City, it was still not yet dawn.

But the entire Xingyue City was on alert, with soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion patrolling and inspecting everywhere.

It seemed that the death of Qiu Haiqiu and his companions had already alarmed the City Lord's Mansion of Xingyue City.

Yang Xiaotian's expression remained unchanged as he returned to his courtyard and continued to forge the second Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

The remaining ingredients from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were enough to forge one more.

Having had the experience of making the Four Symbols Spirit Pill once before, Yang Xiaotian was now much more proficient, and with the breakthrough to the third level of the Innate, his True Qi was more vigorous than before, making the pill forging not as strenuous as previously.

In just two short hours, Yang Xiaotian managed to forge the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

By that time, the sky was completely bright.

He put away the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

An hour later, Chen Yuan embarked on his return journey to Divine Sword Academy.

On the way through Xingyue City, he picked up Yang Xiaotian.

At the time of parting, the little girl Yang Ling'er's eyes were red from crying.

"Big brother, when you come back next time, you have to bring me lots of delicious food," Yang Ling'er said, wiping away tears.

Yang Xiaotian was speechless.

This little girl.

He said with a wry smile, "Okay, when big brother comes back next time, I will definitely pass the pharmacist's examination and then I'll earn lots and lots of money, enough to buy you a mountain's worth of delicious food."

In Divine Sword City, there was a Pharmacists' Hall where one could undergo the pharmacist assessment.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Ling'er's tears turned to laughter.

Princess Cheng Beibei, listening to Yang Xiaotian's commitment to pass the pharmacist's examination, let out a laugh, "A level two Martial Soul dreaming of becoming a pharmacist? That's quite a grand daydream."

Yang Zhong also laughed, "Yang Xiaotian, if even you can become a pharmacist, then in this world, nearly everyone would be able to become a pharmacist."

Yang Chao and Huang Ying saw their son boasting again and felt embarrassed.

Under the watchful eyes of Yang Chao and the other two, the figure of Xiaotian and his party eventually disappeared at the end of the street.

What Yang Chao and Huang Ying didn't know was that before long, the name Xiaotian would resound throughout Divine Sea Country.

On the road, Cheng Beibei was thinking about Xiaotian's claim to pass the alchemist examination and still felt uncomfortable. She said, "Xiaotian, do you think becoming an alchemist is something you can just pass on a whim?"

Then she laughed and asked, "Can you sense the Heaven and Earth Fire?"

"You probably won't have the chance to see the Heaven and Earth Fire in your lifetime!"

Indeed, many people never had the chance to see an alchemist refining pills in their entire lives, so of course, they would never get to see the Heaven and Earth Fire.

Hearing Cheng Beibei asking if he could sense the Heaven and Earth Fire, Xiaotian thought of the first time he sensed the Heaven and Earth Fire within a hundred meters range and said, "I can sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters."

Cheng Beibei and others like Yang Zhong burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Even Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile.

"Fifty meters? Why don't you say you can sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within a hundred meters?" Liao Chengfei, Cheng Beibei's guard, mocked him with a laugh.

Everyone laughed.

Cheng Beibei spoke up, "Xiaotian, you probably don't understand what fifty meters signifies. Even the four great alchemy grandmasters of Divine Sea Country can only sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters."

Then she turned to Chen Yuan and asked, "Master, I'm not wrong, am I?"

Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, "Correct. Even with the strong souls of the four great alchemy grandmasters of Divine Sea Country, we can only sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters." Then he looked at Xiaotian, "For someone as young as you to be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters, that's impossible."

His implication was undoubtedly that Xiaotian was lying.

Xiaotian's expression remained calm, and he didn't argue or explain himself.

Afterward, Cheng Beibei and the others brought up the death of Qiu Haiqiu.

"I don't know who killed Qiu Haiqiu," Cheng Beibei said. "Now, the Pharmacists' Guild of Divine Sea Country has already sent people to Xingyue City to thoroughly investigate the matter."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know if this person is reckless or ignorant. Feng Old Monster only had Qiu Haiqiu as a disciple, and now that he has been killed, wouldn't he go mad?"

Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "Feng Old Monster?"

Cheng Beibei gave Xiaotian a look, "Feng Old Monster is Qiu Haiqiu's master and also one of the strongest alchemists among the four greats of Divine Sea Country. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Xiaotian couldn't help but think of Qiu Haiqiu's final moments, no wonder he kept mentioning his master.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

Even if Feng Old Monster turned Divine Sea Country upside down, it would be impossible for him to be suspected.

After two days of swift travel, the group finally arrived at Divine Sword City.

"Divine Sword City," Xiaotian looked at the towering walls of the enormous Divine Sword City in front of him, feeling the invisible Sword Qi permeating the city, and was profoundly moved.

Divine Sword City was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in Divine Sea Country.

It was also the place all martial artists in Divine Sea Country yearned for.

His father also had his adventures in Divine Sword City years ago.

"Let's enter the city," Chen Yuan gestured, and they all entered Divine Sword City.

The gate guards of Divine Sword City, upon seeing Chen Yuan and Cheng Beibei's group, hurriedly saluted them.

Inside the city, it was even busier than Xiaotian had imagined.

Convoys of various colors, masters from different races and sects were a constant stream.

Xiaotian also saw members of the Dwarf Clan.

The Dwarf Clan was recognized as the clan of artifact refiners, with half of the top ten artifact refiners in the Martial Soul World coming from their ranks.

Besides the Dwarf Clan, there were also the Half-Beast People, the Elf Clan, and others.

After crossing several bustling streets, the group finally arrived at the Divine Sword Academy.
