Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 231 Heavenly Profound Ice Nether Pill

Months later, the Tagor Desert

Midnight,

"Achoo~ Is it really necessary for Teacher to be refining pills in this desolate and cold place so late at night?"

Xiao Yan was shirtless at this moment, his whole body shivering from the cold.

As for why Xiao Yan wasn't wearing a shirt, his shirt was draped over Xiao Yi Xian's shoulders, while Xiao Yi Xian covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched the trembling Xiao Yan.

"Hey, you don't understand this, do you? The Heavenly Profound Ice Nether Pill must be refined when the Yin energy is at its strongest throughout the day, while the Yang energy is strongest during the day in the Tagor Desert."

As the saying goes, "Yin arises from Yang," and at night, the Yin energy in the Tagor Desert far outweighs the Yang energy. The place I have chosen is precisely a cold and Yin-dominant location. I must begin refining the elixir at midnight and finish it before dawn.

The old doctor's soul sat upright on the ground, with a black medicine cauldron in front of him. The cauldron was quite robust, and a calm aura lingered around it. On the surface of the cauldron, there were lifelike flame totems. As the cauldron slowly rotated, these flame totems were as if they were real objects.

The old alchemist closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to get himself into the best possible state. Now that he only had a soul body left, he could only rely on his experience to refine pills. Fortunately, he could now unleash the power of a Dou Zong.

Otherwise, he might fail even if he tried to refine a sixth-grade pill.

Little Fairy Doctor stared intently at Old Man Medicine. Her biggest dream was to become an alchemist, but fate played a cruel joke on her, and she could only become a poison master.

These days, Little Fairy Doctor has been training alongside Xiao Yan. At first, she couldn't control her power, but as time went by, she gradually mastered her poisonous fighting spirit. In addition, by taking some poison, Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation level has increased rapidly over the past few months!

Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation has now surpassed Xiao Yan's, reaching the peak of Dou Shi. In just a few months, she has jumped from a little girl who wasn't even a Dou Zhe to the peak of Dou Shi. Xiao Yan was speechless when he saw this.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Suddenly, the old apothecary opened his eyes, threw the medicinal herbs into the Black Demon Cauldron, and then a pale white flame appeared in his hand. The flame entered the cauldron and began to refine the medicinal herbs.

Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor watched Yao Lao's technique intently.

"As expected of the teacher, your technique in refining medicinal herbs is far beyond my reach."

The old alchemist only had less than two hours to refine the Heavenly Profound Ice Nether Pill, so he only had one chance and had to increase the power of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to speed up the refining process.

If this process is not handled carefully, the pills will be ruined. Only a veteran alchemist like Yao Lao would dare to do this. Or rather, Yao Lao can now freely expend his soul power without worrying about excessive consumption of his soul power and falling into a deep sleep again.

Nearly two hours later,

The somewhat irregularly shaped, purplish-black pill gradually became rounder, and the next moment, a dazzling light emanated from the pill!

The moment the pill burst forth with dazzling light, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor were slightly astonished to discover that rings of energy ripples, almost tangible, surged outwards from the cauldron in all directions, creating a spectacular and continuous display.

A sixth-grade pill was formed, a celestial phenomenon!

"You all need to back off quickly, something even bigger is yet to come!"

At the same time, a pair of wings popped out from behind Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor. Xiao Yan's wings were orange-red, while Little Fairy Doctor's wings were purple-black. The two of them were using flying combat techniques!

Xiao Yan's orange-red wings were the Crimson Flame Wings that Xiao Li first used, while Little Fairy Doctor's wings were the Purple Cloud Wings that she obtained while exploring a mountain cave.

Seeing that the two had retreated, the old apothecary suddenly changed the hand seals and uttered a low shout. Instantly, the eerie white flames inside the medicine cauldron surged, almost filling the entire cauldron. Amidst the eerie white color, a dazzling purplish-black light spot became even more eye-catching.

boom--

A burst of purple light erupted from the medicine cauldron, and a thunderous explosion resounded through the sky. Immediately afterwards, a purplish-black beam of light, about two zhang thick, shot out from the medicine cauldron into the sky!

It made this dark and quiet place much brighter!

hum-

Suddenly, a rapid spatial fluctuation came from the sky, instantly sealing off the extraordinary phenomenon of the birth of the sixth-grade pill.

The old doctor's figure was now much more ethereal than before. He looked at the pillar of light, grabbed a stream of purplish-black light, and it finally hovered above his palm.

As the light gradually faded, its true form was revealed: a purplish-black pill the size of a longan. The pill's surface was perfectly round, yet it emanated a chilling aura.

Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor have already flown back: "This is the Heavenly Profound Ice Nether Pill? The chilling aura is astonishing! Teacher, are you alright? You seem much more ethereal than before."

The old doctor nodded: "It really wore me out. Refining a sixth-grade pill with my soul body in such a short time is too taxing."

If I had the physical body, why would I need to go to such lengths to refine a mere sixth-grade pill? Alas, time waits for no one.

"Don't worry, teacher. After I refine the Netherworld Poison Fire and gain Second Master's approval, I can officially cultivate the Burning Technique. Second Master said that there is a strange fire in the Tagor Desert. At that time, I will be able to combine it with the Fallen Heart Flame from Canaan Academy."

"Then I will begin to try to create a body to house your soul. When it is successfully created, you will be able to be reborn again," Xiao Yan comforted him with a smile.

"Hehe, there's no rush. Refining a body to contain a soul isn't that simple. Get ready. When the desert's yang energy is at its peak at noon, start refining the Netherworld Poison Fire. Is everything ready?" Yao Lao said wearily.

"Everything is ready: Heavenly Profound Ice Nether Pill, Spirit Absorption Pill, and the Spirit Cleansing Powder I got from my aunt. That should be enough." Xiao Yan nodded; he had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

"Let's find a safe place first, and then wait until noon."

"it is good."

. . . . . .

A continuous range of hills in the desert,

In a mountain cave,

Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged in the cave, regulating his breathing. There was a large hole above his head, like a skylight, where the sunlight shone in, marking the time of day when the yang energy was at its peak!

"Xiao Yan, are you ready?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with some concern.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a smile on his face: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. The Burning Blade Technique is the foundation of my rise. I must succeed! I must succeed!"

Although I don't know where Second Master's pressure comes from, I've heard snippets of rumors over the years. Even someone as powerful as my teacher can fall. I must become stronger so I can protect those I care about! So I must fight!

The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled. He had made a good choice in his disciple; at least he hadn't been blind this time!

"Little Yanzi, it's almost time, let's get ready to begin."

"good!"

Above the void,

Xiao Li crossed his arms. He was also very concerned about whether Xiao Yan could refine the Netherworld Poison Fire. As long as he succeeded on the first try, there would be no problem afterward.

Xiao Li cared a lot about Xiao Yan's mentality. He naturally knew that life required trials and tribulations. The reason why Xiao Yan was able to succeed in the original work was because of his competitive nature. He did not want to lose to Nalan Yanran.

The three-year agreement put too much pressure on Xiao Yan, almost suffocating him. Pressure can be a driving force, but Xiao Yan doesn't feel that pressure now, and Xiao Li isn't sure if Xiao Yan can succeed.

"It all depends on human effort."
