Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 91 Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Time flies by, and the three-month period is fast approaching.

In a side hall of the Serpent Clan's temple, Xiao Bai was intently focused on the ebony cauldron in front of him, where several medicinal herbs were floating and sinking, and a fourth-grade pill—the Green Spirit Blood-Building Pill—was being refined.

This elixir requires the Earth Demon Root, Heavenly Jade Tree Branch, and a fourth-order Earth-type Demon Core to be refined. It can improve the physical strength of the user and is effective for those in the Battle Spirit stage.

After arriving in the Snake-People tribe, the old apothecary gave him a pharmacopoeia, which contained detailed explanations of the medicinal properties of various herbs from the continent, as well as his alchemy experience over the years.

There are also hundreds of pill formulas of various grades, including those that Xiao Bai is very familiar with, such as the Fighting Spirit Pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill, and the Breaking Sect Pill.

Xiao Bai only had the idea of ​​trading medicinal herbs with Medusa after he got his hands on them.

Medusa was a trustworthy person, and the next day she sent her bodyguard, Flower Snake, to deliver some medicinal herbs to her, although these herbs and magic cores were mostly of the fire and earth elements.

Because of their cold constitution, the Serpent People don't have many alchemists. They trade the medicinal herbs and magic cores they obtain with traveling merchants who frequently visit the desert, exchanging them for scarce items like pills and food. They can't keep much on hand.

Therefore, the amount of medicinal herbs and magic cores delivered was not much, but this amount was only relative to the amount provided by a single force. For Xiao Bai, it was more than enough for practice.

The proud woman seemed a little embarrassed by this and asked Hua She'er to tell Xiao Bai that he could ask for anything else he needed, but Xiao Bai politely declined.

There was no other way but to refuse! This queen was too poor; Xiao Bai even felt a little embarrassed to rob her!

According to Hua She'er, some of these magic core medicinal herbs were obtained by them overnight in the city.

"Xiao Bai, be careful, the medicinal properties are almost fully combined!" The old doctor reminded him, noticing that he was a little distracted.

He had been staying with Xiao Bai during this time and witnessed his unique alchemy methods firsthand, which shattered his worldview!

Since meeting Xiao Yi and Xiao Bing, although I had some guesses about how Xiao Bai concocted medicine, none of them were as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes.

With these two types of lightning, why would we need fire or wood attributes, or fire seeds? In Xiao Bai's words, alchemy is not such an inconvenient thing!

The old doctor, who was initially shocked, was about to nod when he thought about it again and felt an urge to hit someone.

Damn it, your thing is even rarer than those two items, okay? There are few alchemy apprentices, but there are quite a few on the continent. However, yours is completely unique.

"The Earth Demon Root is Yin, the Heavenly Jade Tree Branch is Yang. Seize the opportunity, add the essence of the Earth-type Magic Core to harmonize it. Yes... yes... that's it!"

The old doctor was filled with satisfaction, feeling that guiding such a student was incredibly easy; he grasped everything at a glance and could even apply what he learned to other situations.

The gaze he gave Xiao Bai grew increasingly appreciative. This kid was truly a gem; it would be a shame if he didn't become a student!

Although Xiao Bai's alchemy techniques were somewhat unique, his countless years of experience, coupled with his occasional flashes of inspiration, sparked some novel ideas that improved his alchemy skills.

Moreover, Xiao Bai's thunder and fire alchemy method seems to produce purer and more effective medicines compared to simple fire alchemy!

"It's done!" Xiao Bai exclaimed in delight, and with a wave of his hand, a perfectly round cyan pill appeared in his palm.

"Not bad. Judging from the energy fluctuations, it's already a top-grade fourth-rank pill. Congratulations, Xiao Bai, you're now a fourth-rank alchemist!"

The old doctor took the pill, examined it for a moment, and said with a smile.

"Haha, not at all. I should thank you, Master Yao, for your guidance over this period. It has greatly solidified my foundation as someone who doesn't know the proper methods!"

"You don't need to be modest, kid. With your soul power and talent, once you make up for your basic weaknesses during this time, reaching the seventh rank is hard to say in a short time, but sixth-rank pills will be a piece of cake for you!"

This isn't an exaggeration from the old alchemist. Other alchemists might be limited by their cultivation level and unable to refine high-grade pills at a lower level because their battle qi consumption can't keep up, but Xiao Bai doesn't have any problems.

This kid possesses those two strange lightning powers, so apart from his soul power, he hardly expends any energy when refining pills.

"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure! Elder Yao, I'm almost reluctant to hand you back to Xiao Yanzi!" Xiao Bai stood up, stretched, and joked.

Having spent this time together, he was really reluctant to part with the old man. Yao Lao was a good person, both as a friend and as a teacher.

It's a bit of a pity!

Xiao Bai could sense that the old man had become much more cautious in his dealings with others because of Han Feng's matter. If it were the original Yao Lao, it might be even more interesting!

"Forget it! You're just a restless fellow. This old man can't keep up with your antics. Xiao Yan is much more obedient; he doesn't understand anything, so I can have some peace and quiet!"

The old doctor stroked his beard, a smile in his eyes, and shook his head in refusal.

"Hehe~!" Xiao Bai chuckled noncommittally. Following that kid around and having a good time? Are you kidding me?

The old man will soon realize that the kid is much more troublesome than him!

Looking at the completely dark sky outside, Xiao Bai walked out of the side hall, leaped onto the roof, and felt the cool evening breeze.

For nearly three months, he hardly stepped out of the palace gates. He was either reading the inheritance given by the old master or refining pills. He paid almost no attention to the outside world, and no one came to disturb him.

Xiao Bai took out a flask of old wine from his storage ring, sipped it slowly, and looked at the highest temple in the center.

"Judging by the time, tomorrow should be the day she evolves!"

Xiao Bai was actually a little unsure about Medusa's evolution. He didn't know if changing the original timeline would still be as successful as in the original story.

Lost in thought, Xiao Bai suddenly felt a faint spatial fluctuation, and a beautiful figure in red appeared beside him.

Turning his head, he saw the alluring face, the curvaceous figure, and the dignified, cold expression—she was still the same as before. Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time!"

Medusa glanced at him and nodded slightly. She smelled the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from him and wondered if this guy was an alchemist.

However, she quickly dismissed her doubts. This human was mysterious and had many powerful figures following him, both openly and secretly. It was not surprising that he was a bit strange!

"Are you ready?"

"Um!"

Xiao Bai was speechless. This woman was truly sparing with her words. The atmosphere seemed to have returned to that night three months ago. Neither of them spoke, and they quietly looked down at the city below.

About half an hour later, the red-clad figure beside him disappeared silently again, and a few words drifted on the wind.

"Tomorrow will be troublesome!"

Xiao Bai felt the lingering fragrance beside him and shook his head. This woman never says what she wants to say directly! It always drifts in on the wind.
