While the player is in Battle Through the Heavens, the system is in The Great Ruler.

Chapter 155 Zi Yan's identity is exposed, and Feng Qing'er is shocked!

"The Five Visceral Spiritual Canon combines the power of the five elements to forge a body of extraordinary fire, which can be formed and dispersed without form, and can cultivate all kinds of techniques..."

Lu Yu looked at the final simulation results, his eyes filled with deep thought.

As the original body, he naturally knew what he was thinking in the simulator. Although he was cultivating the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, he could not cultivate the Burning Technique at the same time. He possessed five kinds of strange fire, but he had a treasure mountain but could not use it all.

After all, the Floating Pagoda can only contain all kinds of fire, but it does not have the ability to fuse all kinds of fire. The five different fires that he now controls, the Floating Pagoda Fire, has increased in power to the Dou Zun level as the Floating Pagoda has advanced to the top-grade spiritual weapon level. It can be regarded as the number one different fire under his command.

The Netherworld Heart Demon Fire originates from the Netherworld Heart Demon Lightning, and its original quality is extremely high. It also devoured the half-step eighth-grade pill lightning, making it a strange fire at the peak of the Dou Zong level.

Secondly, there are the high-level Dou Zong-level Ice Soul Frost Flame and the low-level Dou Zong-level Fallen Heart Flame.

As for the Earth Core Flame, its power was originally similar to the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. After devouring the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, it is now probably only about the same as the Sea Core Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. It is considered a strange flame at the peak of the Dou Huang level, and has touched the threshold of Dou Zong.

Of course, this is only the power of the fire itself. If one uses their own powerful battle qi to activate it, its power can naturally be multiplied.

However, no matter how much they are activated, apart from the Floating Pagoda Fire and the Netherworld Heart Demon Fire, the other three types of strange fires will probably not significantly increase combat power after reaching the Dou Zun level.

After all, at the Dou Zun level, the gap has already begun to widen. Unless it is a top ten Strange Fire, it is probably difficult to fight across levels by simply relying on those Strange Fires ranked lower on the Strange Fire Ranking.

"But the Five Treasures Spiritual Manual, as a supreme earth-level cultivation technique, would be an emperor-level body-refining technique in the Dou Qi Continent. To cultivate it to perfection and forge a body of strange fire, it would take forever..."

Lu Yu sighed. He knew his own situation best. He hadn't even broken through to the Spirit Realm with the Soul-Slaying Sword Scripture, he hadn't even mastered the Two Elements Returning to Origin Sword Technique, and the Dragon Soaring Technique was only a quasi-Heaven-rank movement and combat skill...

These three combat techniques have already consumed a great deal of his time. If he were to cultivate another body-refining technique...

"Breaking through to the Dou Zun realm is uncertain; ultimately, cultivation level is fundamental. Now that we know the derivation method of this technique, we might be able to deduce it again through simulation..."

"Moreover, I also have the high-level Earth-rank Burning Sky Glazed Body. For now, cultivating this will be enough until I reach the Dou Sheng level."

Lu Yu rubbed his temples. Although he had decided to give up the Five Treasures Spiritual Scripture, he still felt a little reluctant.

Without a doubt, this technique was perfect for him; it was tailor-made for him.

Transforming into a different kind of fire, one can fuse with all kinds of fire, possessing the strengths of both the Great Floating Pagoda Technique and the Burning Technique. It is not impossible that one could become the second Tuoshe Ancient Emperor in a short period of time, and even use this to cultivate other techniques, truly integrating the strengths of all schools, creating one's own path, and perhaps even reaching the Heavenly Supreme...

"pity……"

Lu Yu shook his head, his eyes regaining their clarity. The Great Floating Pagoda Technique was already a path to heaven; there was no need to be greedy. There were still many simulation attempts available, and he might encounter even better opportunities.

"The Supreme Hand Bone and the Supreme Pill. With my current resources, as long as I start with an academy-style setup and there are no unexpected situations along the way, I can at least get the Supreme Pill in the simulation."

"But that supreme ruin isn't something you can encounter every time..."

"But this thing doesn't seem that rare. Once the simulation time is over, I can just cut myself down and get a piece..."

Lu Yu stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

He then shook his head and said, "Even simulations might not bring up this option. It's not worth cutting yourself every time just for a bone, especially if it crowds out other better options..."

"In the end, these two options are actually about the same value, but I don't need the Supreme Pill right now, while the Supreme Hand Bone can be used by Senior Tianhuo when he's shaping his physical body..."

"When Xiao Yan sculpted Yao Lao's physical body, he used an eighth-grade five-colored bone-regenerating and blood-fusion pill, a four-star Dou Zun's body, the essence blood of an eighth-order magical beast, and a Dou Sheng's arm, creating Yao Lao, who was at the half-saint realm..."

"What I currently possess is the corpse of the Earth Demon Old Ghost, a Seven-Star Dou Zong, the essence blood of the Seventh-Rank Peak Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill which I haven't yet refined, plus a Dou Sheng hand bone, although it's far inferior to..."

"But restoring Senior Tianhuo to his peak shouldn't be too difficult, right? If we're lucky, his strength might even increase significantly, helping him break through several realms..."

"At that time, my Lingbao Pavilion will have a Dou Zun in charge, and we can then advance into the Central Plains!"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim with delight.

Although he is currently strong enough to contend with a Dou Zun, having a Dou Zun and not having one are two different concepts in the eyes of outsiders. Once a Dou Zun expert is in charge, he can confidently become a hands-off manager and focus on cultivation.

"Just choose it."

With a thought, Lu Yu saw a pure white jade box appear out of thin air in his hand. The box was icy cold, and its surface was engraved with ancient sealing patterns.

Through the jade box, one could vaguely see a piece of crystal-clear hand bone, like a work of art, lying quietly inside, its distinct joints radiating a faint aura of power.

Carefully storing the jade box in his storage ring, Lu Yu then secluded himself in his quiet room for several days, restoring himself to peak condition. One day, he suddenly opened his eyes, a fleeting glint of light flashing within them.

"it's time."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yu dispelled the barrier around the meditation room and strolled out. The illusory figure of Venerable Heavenly Fire had been waiting outside for a long time. Upon seeing him emerge, it nodded slightly: "Sect Master, your aura has become even more solid during this seclusion."

"You flatter me, senior."

Lu Yu smiled, turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan who were sparring not far away, and reminded them, "Get ready, we're going to the East Pavilion Treasury."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan immediately stopped her attack, her purple eyes flashing with excitement as she exclaimed, "Finally, we're going treasure hunting!"

"I wonder what treasures the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is hiding. When the time comes, I'll definitely choose the best one!"

Little Fairy Doctor remained as serene as ever, though a hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes.

Before long, the three arrived at the main hall of the East Pavilion. Feng Qing'er seemed to have already received the news and was standing quietly in front of the hall waiting.

Upon seeing the arrival of the group, she gracefully bowed and respectfully said, "Master Lu, my master has already instructed Qing'er to take you to the treasure vault."

Her purplish-brown eyes lingered on Lu Yu for a moment, as if trying to see through this mysterious alchemist who possessed two flames. But she quickly looked away and turned to lead the way: "Please follow me."

……

After a while,

Led by Feng Qing'er, Lu Yu and the others passed through several deep, dark passages and arrived at a massive bronze gate. Feng Qing'er gathered lightning at her fingertips and tapped three times on a hidden rune on the gate. The heavy bronze gate slowly opened, revealing a dazzling treasure within.

"This is the treasure vault of the East Pavilion of my Fenglei Pavilion."

Feng Qing'er's voice was cold, yet tinged with pride, "It is divided into three levels. The first level collects treasures below the seventh rank, the second level collects treasures from the seventh to the eighth rank, and the third level contains the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, the supreme martial art of my Fenglei Pavilion."

"Master has decreed that, apart from the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies, you may choose any three treasures from the treasure vault."

As the group entered, they saw that the first floor was filled with a dazzling array of treasures, all displayed on stone platforms and protected by semi-transparent energy shields.

Feng Qing'er gently raised her jade hand, a wisp of lightning gathering at her fingertips, and lightly touched the nearest stone platform.

A ripple appeared on the semi-transparent energy shield, revealing a longsword crackling with purple lightning: "Master, please look, this is the Purple Lightning Frost Sword, a sixth-tier magic core weapon..." Lu Yu's gaze swept across the displayed treasures with lightning speed. Each stone platform was meticulously carved into the shape of a lotus flower, and fine runes flowed across the energy shield, making the treasures within even more dazzling.

"Do you have any eighth-tier fire-attribute ore?"

Lu Yu suddenly interrupted her introduction and asked directly.

Feng Qing'er's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she asked with a hint of surprise, "An eighth-grade fire attribute ore?"

She shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Master. You used up all the high-grade fire and lightning attribute ores when you were refining the Thunder Dragon Cauldron."

She hesitated for a moment, then lightly touched her lips with her jade-like finger: "The second level does contain a piece of eighth-grade Xuanming Cold Iron..."

At this point, her tone carried a hint of apology: "Besides that, the highest quality fire-attribute ore is only sixth tier."

Lu Yu nodded thoughtfully, his gaze shifting between the stone platforms displaying the ores. He could clearly sense that the fire-attribute energy emanating from these ores was far from meeting his requirements.

"Let's go check out the second floor."

Lu Yu turned to Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan and said, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Upon ascending the steps to the second floor, the number of artifacts was noticeably smaller, but each piece radiated an astonishing energy fluctuation. The moment Little Fairy Doctor stepped onto the second floor, her steps involuntarily halted before a jade display stand.

The display stand was crystal clear, with a three-inch-tall emerald green herb suspended inside. The herb had seven leaves that unfurled, each with a golden vein flowing along its veins, and on the central leaf, an eighth golden vein could be faintly seen slowly taking shape.

"This is……"

Without realizing it, Little Fairy Doctor took two steps forward, her delicate hand gently stroking the barrier on the surface of the display stand. Sensing the touch, the barrier immediately rippled, gently pushing her away.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qing'er's eyes flashed with surprise. She slowly stepped forward and explained, "This is the Seven-Patterned Jade Spirit Grass, which grows deep within the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp. It only grows one more golden pattern every hundred years. This one has already nurtured seven and a half golden patterns, and its toxicity is approaching the eighth level..."

She paused, her tone tinged with admiration: "Young lady, you have such discerning eyes. This Seven-Patterned Jade Spirit Grass is one of the highest-grade medicinal herbs in the second tier, but it has been neglected for so long because of its potent toxicity."

"We want it."

Lu Yu said decisively, his gaze sweeping between the herb and Little Fairy Doctor. He could tell that this herb held a tremendous attraction for Fairy Doctor's afflicted poisonous body.

He then pressed on, asking, "Are there any other poisonous medicinal herbs of similar quality in the treasure vault?"

Feng Qing'er pondered for a moment, lightly tapping her chin with her jade finger, and said thoughtfully, "Our Fenglei Pavilion mainly cultivates wind and thunder attribute battle qi, and our stock of poison attribute medicinal herbs is really not much..."

She turned and pointed to a black jade display stand on the other side, "There is also a seventh-tier Nine Nether Devouring Heart Vine over there, but its quality is much lower, it has just entered the seventh tier."

Lu Yu frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the answer. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Zi Yan's rapid breathing behind him.

He turned around and saw Zi Yan squatting in front of a black display stand, her purple eyes fixed on a small, completely black plant, her breathing becoming rapid.

Lu Yu quietly walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile, "What, you've got your eye on someone?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, a look of longing flashing in her eyes. She nodded heavily and said, "Lu Yu, I can feel that this thing has a strong attraction to my bloodline! I want this!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu turned to look at the black herb, his eyes narrowing slightly. Even with his knowledge, he couldn't recognize what kind of herb it was for a moment.

Just then, Feng Qing'er returned. Seeing the two people gathered in front of the black display stand, she paused noticeably, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"That is... Phoenix Blood Grass."

Feng Qing'er's voice unconsciously softened a few degrees, "It was a gift I presented to my master when I became his disciple."

She stepped forward slowly, lightly touching the surface of the display stand with her fingertips, and continued to explain: "This herb only grows in the place where the Heavenly Phoenix Clan fell. It can only be nurtured by absorbing the essence and blood of the strong members of our clan, and it is of great benefit to the advancement of magical beasts."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and asked with feigned surprise, "My clan? Miss Qing'er, could you perhaps be a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

Feng Qing'er's body stiffened visibly for a moment before she nodded slightly: "...Not bad."

"If that's the case, why doesn't Miss Qing'er cultivate within the clan, but instead takes Venerable Lei as her master and cultivates in the Northern Region of Central Continent..."

"I've heard that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is one of the three overlords of the magical beast world, and even has a ninth-tier magical beast guarding it..."

The air suddenly froze.

Feng Qing'er pursed her lips, and after a long while, she managed to force a smile: "This matter... is a long story."

Her gaze drifted into the distance, clearly unwilling to continue the topic. Seeing this, Lu Yu didn't ask any further questions, but simply gave her a thoughtful look.

In his opinion, Feng Qing'er's bloodline might not be as good as Zi Yan's, but it wasn't bad either. At least she had a chance to reach the peak of Dou Zun. With such talent, she should be considered a little genius in the Tian Yao Huang clan.

He had initially thought that she had chosen this path herself, but now it seemed there was more to the story...

Soon after,

"In that case, we'll take both the Seven-Patterned Jade Spirit Grass and this Phoenix Blood Grass..."

"There's one more item..."

Lu Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's choose that piece of eighth-grade Xuanming Cold Iron."

Although this item is useless to him, it's perfect for Cai Lin to forge his natal sword. Since he can choose three items, he should naturally pick the most valuable one.

Feng Qing'er nodded slightly, then turned and took out the three treasures one by one. With graceful movements, she placed the Jade Spirit Grass and Phoenix Blood Grass into two exquisite jade boxes, and then sealed the dark blue Xuanming Cold Iron in a specially made cold jade box.

"Please take a look, Master." She handed over the three containers with both hands.

Lu Yu took the jade boxes, first storing the Xuanming Cold Iron in his storage ring, and then handing the two jade boxes to Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan respectively.

Zi Yan eagerly opened the jade box, only to find the jet-black Phoenix Blood Grass lying quietly inside, its leaves still shimmering with dark golden light. Her purple eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed the Phoenix Blood Grass and stuffed it into her mouth!
"Wait..." Feng Qing'er exclaimed, but it was too late.

In an instant, a powerful dragon's might erupted from Zi Yan's body!

Her purple hair moved without wind, and a faint dragon-shaped phantom appeared around her. The phantom was a crystal-clear purple-gold color. Although it was small in size, it had an astonishing aura. Its dragon scales were as clear as gemstones, and its eyes shone with a noble purple light.

"Ancient Void Dragon?!"

Feng Qing'er's expression changed drastically, and she staggered back several steps, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and horror. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Ancient Void Dragon were sworn enemies; she never imagined that this seemingly harmless purple-haired girl was actually a member of the Ancient Void Dragon's clan!
