Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 46 Zhongli, brother, I'll pass on a few doses of medicine to you.

On the tranquil back mountain of the Xiao family, atop a giant rock, Xiao Yan was immersed in cultivating the "Burning Technique".

Little Fairy Doctor, like a cheerful elf, darts lightly around Xiao Yan, sometimes playfully extending her slender jade fingers to gently poke his face, as if she were playing with a rare treasure.

Yao Chen sat to the side, his gaze focused and cautious, holding the three poison-attribute combat skill manuals that Zhong Li had brought back, studying them carefully.

He nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "These three manuals are all top-level combat techniques. Whether it's a life-saving trick or an offensive power, they are priceless treasures."

Zhongli leisurely put down his teacup. As the aroma of tea wafted through the air, he slowly said, "In the next few days, I will have to trouble Brother Yaochen to take good care of Xian'er and give her more guidance in learning these three fighting techniques."

"Oh? So what are your plans?" Yao Chen asked, raising his eyes.

"I need to go to the nearby Monster Forest to hunt two monsters that meet the requirements of the Purple Cloud Wings for these two children." Zhong Li's gaze was firm, and his tone was calm and unquestionable.

"Oh? Does Mr. Zhongli also think that the third-tier Flamewing Cloud Sparrow is not high enough?"

"Clan Chief Xiao's speculation is far too optimistic. You must know that only a Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle that has reached the fifth rank can have a body and soul that meet the standards of the advanced Xuan rank. After my careful examination just now, I found that the pair of flying wings made of the materials of the Flame Winged Cloud Sparrow can only be considered to be at most the advanced Huang rank, which is really too low for those two little guys."

After speaking, Zhong Li slowly turned around, and the "Wings of Battle Qi" behind him fully unfolded, assuming a posture as if he was about to leave.

"Wait!" Yao Chen suddenly called out from behind.

"What is it?" Zhongli turned his head slightly, looking puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Chen carefully took out the bronze piece he had previously acquired at the Mittel auction house from his storage ring.

"I would like to trouble Brother Zhongli to use your Thousand Sun Flames of Burning Radiance to help me smelt this bronze piece." As Yao Chen spoke, he waved his hand, and the ancient green rust that was originally attached to the bronze piece instantly fell off. Under Yao Chen's exquisite control, a clump of rust floated leisurely in the air.

"My soul power is still weak. If I forcibly use the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to forge this bronze rust, it will inevitably greatly deplete my soul power. Therefore, I hope Brother Zhongli can lend a helping hand."

"It's nothing."

Zhong Li slightly raised his hand, and in an instant, the dazzling Thousand Sun Flames of Burning Radiance enveloped the object covered in verdigris.

Under the gentle "touch" of the Burning Thousand Sun Flame, the dense, tiny verdigris instantly condensed into ten shimmering specks of dust.

"Ah!! I knew I wasn't mistaken." Yao Chen's eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement. "This is indeed Spirit-Nourishing Powder, which is undoubtedly a highly precious tonic for me right now."

"Yes, this Spirit-Nourishing Powder is very likely to help Brother Yao Chen's soul strength leap from the Dou Huang realm to the seven or eight-star Dou Zong level. However, it is still not advisable to rush things. In Brother Yao Chen's current state, it may be a bit beyond his strength to absorb all ten Spirit-Nourishing Powders at once."

"Yes, I will proceed steadily and step by step. Once Xiao Yan finishes cultivating the Burning Blade Technique, I will begin absorbing it."

"Um."

"Master, I also want to go hunting monsters with you." Little Fairy Doctor walked briskly to Zhongli's side.

Zhong Li smiled and gently stroked Little Fairy Doctor's face, saying softly, "Fairy, be good. Let Master Yao teach you those three fighting techniques. I'll be back in a few days."

Little Fairy Doctor pouted slightly and said coquettishly, "I don't want to! I only have one master! He's not my master!"

"Hmph! You little brat, what? I was once a peak Nine-Rank Dou Zun expert, am I not worthy to teach you?"

"Hehehe..." Little Fairy Doctor playfully stuck out her tongue at Yao Chen, then hugged Zhong Li tightly.

For Little Fairy Doctor, she didn't care about the strength of a peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun; she only cared about her "Dou Huang" master.

Zhongli sighed softly, his eyes filled with a mixture of doting and helplessness, and gently said to Yao Chen, "Brother Yao Chen, don't take it to heart, it was just a child's unintentional jest."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen's face showed a faint look of helplessness. He was not the kind of person to hold grudges, and besides, the other party was just an innocent and carefree little girl, so how could he possibly take this to heart?

"Xian'er, be a good girl and listen to me. When your master returns, I will definitely find you a fifth-tier Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle. At that time, you will be able to soar freely through the sky like 'Wings of Battle Qi'."

"o(>﹏<)o No."

"My dear Xian'er, Master Yao Chen is an alchemist, and his skills are truly remarkable. Didn't you always say that your dream was to become an alchemist?"

"But my battle qi attribute is what it is, it doesn't allow me to go down the path of alchemy at all. If I really had to choose, I'd be more like a poison master." Little Fairy Doctor still pouted, her face full of reluctance.

"Actually, medicine and poison are from the same source and there is no clear boundary. If you thoroughly learn all of Professor Yao's pharmacological knowledge, you will naturally be able to apply it to toxicology as well, and you will find similar principles."

"Hmph, I don't care. When it comes to poisoning, that old man might not even be as good as me."

"Oh my! How dare you talk like that?!" Yao Chen was dragged into this again for no reason.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Alright, alright, Xian'er, be good. Think about it. In the future, your senior brother will have to search for a different kind of fire, and you'll have to find a different kind of lightning to cultivate the 'Eternal Thunder Technique' and then imprint your second soul meridian. This will require a lot of travel and time. If you both possess a high-level Xuan-rank flying combat skill, wouldn't the time spent on the journey be greatly reduced?"

At this point, Little Fairy Doctor's resolve wavered slightly: "Then... Master, if you promise me one thing, I'll let you go!"

"Alright, tell me what it is."

"That's right, that's right, you're not allowed to bring back a mistress this time you go out!" Little Fairy Doctor put her hands on her hips, feigning anger.

"...Okay, okay~ Master promises you, I won't look for a mistress, I'll never look for a mistress in this lifetime, okay?"

"Okay... Oh no!" Little Fairy Doctor's face went from cloudy to sunny, and then back to cloudy again.

"Hmm?" Zhong Li was also a little confused by Little Fairy Doctor's unpredictable reaction.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen's lips unconsciously curled into a strange smile.

He floated lightly to Zhongli's side, and then slowly took out more than a dozen small medicine bottles from the mysterious storage ring.

"Brother Zhongli, as you know, it's not easy for us to cook meat properly when we're traveling. I have a few jars of seasonings here, which I'll give to you to add some flavor to your cooking."

Zhongli casually examined a few of the medicine bottles, finding them to be just ordinary cooking ingredients, and didn't think much of it. In an instant, the Lock of the Mortal World flashed, and the small medicines were directly collected into it.
