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

Chapter 237 Xiao Yan Picked Up a Living Father for Himself

(P.S.: I can't finish writing, so today's update will be much later.)

A cave,

Xiao Yan was bandaging the wounds of this beautiful and mysterious snake-woman. He learned from Yao Lao that she was a snake-woman expert whose cultivation had reached the peak of Dou Huang.

Xiao Yan also gasped in surprise. His cultivation level was much higher than his father's. His father was only a three-star Dou Huang at this time, and that was only because of his second grandfather's pills.

Xiao Yan knew that his father's talent was not good; at best, he could only reach the Dou Ling realm. If it weren't for his second grandfather's large amount of pills, he would never have been able to reach the Dou Huang realm in his lifetime.

However, according to his second grandfather, he had the ability to pull Xiao Zhan to the Dou Zong level, but there was nothing he could do after that. The Dou Zun level was a huge threshold that was too difficult to break through, and Xiao Zhan did not have that talent.

"Hey, who exactly is this powerful figure? A snake-man? A powerful figure? Could it be the Medusa Queen, whose fearsome reputation is as well as her beauty?" Xiao Yan glanced at the face that was half covered by gauze, leaving only a pair of fiery red lips visible.

Xiao Yan swallowed hard. He really didn't dare to look at this unbelievably beautiful snake woman. He felt that if he looked any longer, he would make a mistake. In order to avoid making a serious mistake, Xiao Yan picked up a traditional skill again, which made Yao Lao laugh at him.

Actually, even Yao Lao didn't expect that Xiao Yan would do something like this when the Ice Heart Pill could solve the problem.

"Teacher, what kind of powerful expert do you think could have beaten this peak Dou Huang expert to this state? If it weren't for the Snake-People's tenacious vitality, she might have died." Xiao Yan applied medicine to Queen Medusa's wounds.

"I noticed a slight burning sensation on her wounds, and I'm sure you sensed it too, right? It must be a strange fire! I suspect it's from that traitorous disciple," the old apothecary said slowly.

"What kind of strange fire is this? I feel it's more powerful than the Netherworld Poison Fire. Teacher, didn't you say that his Burning Technique was incomplete? He already has a strange fire, so why is he collecting the Wind Fury Dragon Flame?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Back when he was still my disciple, he stole the Burning Technique when I wasn't paying attention. However, I discovered it while he was practicing it. Therefore, in that haste, he could only obtain a small part of the Burning Technique's cultivation path, so it was an incomplete Burning Technique."

You should remember me saying that that beast's talent in alchemy is no less than yours. After so many years of exploration, I think he has probably figured something out, otherwise he wouldn't be interested in the second kind of strange fire.

However, what's incomplete is still incomplete. Even if this strange fire is alright, the third strange fire will definitely cause trouble in the future. Let's leave the strange fire with him for now, and you can take it back when you become stronger!

The old doctor stroked his beard, though his hand trembled slightly.

"Leave the matter of cleaning up the house to me, teacher. By the way, teacher, can you tell what kind of strange fire he possesses?" Xiao Yan asked, clenching his fist.

"Your second uncle seems to have said it's the Sea Heart Flame. I can't tell just by looking at the wound. This strange fire must have been obtained after he backstabbed me. Hehe, he's really lucky. Plus this Wind Fury Dragon Flame, I wonder how far he can grow with these two strange fires," Yao Lao sighed.

"Hmm~" A soft hum came, and the beautiful figure next to Xiao Yan suddenly moved.

Medusa gradually woke up and quickly sensed the man's presence. In an instant, she launched an attack, grabbing Xiao Yan by the neck.

"Human! Die!" Medusa was about to retaliate when she felt a sharp pain in her wounds.

"Ugh~ You repay kindness with enmity!" Medusa's speed and force were too great, and Xiao Yan's face almost turned purple, and his speech began to become slurred.

Queen Medusa discovered that her clothes had been burned by her previous enemies, and that she had many bandages on her body, which must have been applied by the human boy in front of her.

Queen Medusa threw Xiao Yan aside and then sat down to regulate her breathing.

"Cough cough~ What an ingrate! The farmer and the snake!" Xiao Yan felt the pain in his neck; he had almost been strangled to death by this crazy woman.

"Teacher, why didn't you save me just now?" Xiao Yan touched his neck, and he could feel a red mark on it.

"I was just about to make a move when this woman let go of my hand," came the old apothecary's voice.

Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, Xiao Yan no longer felt the same admiration he had before.

"Humans, if you don't want your eyes anymore, then keep looking!" Queen Medusa's voice still came out without her eyes opening.

"Hmph! I must have been blind to save you! I shouldn't have saved you if I knew you were Queen Medusa! You didn't even say thank you, and now you want my life. I've never seen such a cold-blooded person!" Xiao Yan mocked.

"Insolence!" Queen Medusa's eyes instantly turned crimson, and an extremely powerful pressure pressed down on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was instantly knocked off balance, but he had a temper and immediately released the Netherworld Poison Fire to protect himself.

Queen Medusa paused for a moment upon seeing the Netherworld Poison Flame beside Xiao Yan.

"A strange fire?"

"Hmph! This is the Netherworld Poisonous Flame, ranked twentieth on the Strange Flame Ranking. You're covered in wounds now; if even a trace of this Netherworld Poisonous Flame touches your wounds, you'll die!"

Xiao Yan held the pale purple strange fire in his hand and said fiercely.

Queen Medusa's mood was unpredictable at this moment. She wanted to use the strange fire to evolve her bloodline, so she naturally had a deep understanding of strange fires. She had also heard of this Netherworld Poison Fire, which was the only strange fire she did not want to encounter.

This strange fire will not only be of no benefit to her, but will also poison her to death. The strange fire that Queen Medusa desires most is the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. This strange fire is perfect for her, a snake-person who possesses magical beasts, and is most suitable for her evolution. She can even completely refine the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire during the evolution process.

"Hmph! You're the first brat to dare threaten me, the king's man?"

Queen Medusa wasn't confident she could defeat Xiao Yan. Just as Xiao Yan said, she had many wounds on her body. If she were to be touched by even a little bit of the Netherworld Poison Fire, its deadly poison would instantly corrode her body. In her current state, she wouldn't be able to expel the toxins.

"Try it and you'll know!" Xiao Yan exuded a pale white aura, and in an instant, he rose from the Dou Shi level to the Dou Huang level.

"Hmm! A strange fire! You actually have a strange fire!" Queen Medusa was also delighted, never expecting that she would encounter a strange fire.

But then Queen Medusa stared at Xiao Yan. This young man was definitely no more than twenty years old, but he possessed the strength of a Dou Huang. Queen Medusa was currently seriously injured, and her strength was less than 30% of her peak. It would be difficult for her to defeat Xiao Yan.

"Human, how about making a deal with me?" Queen Medusa said haughtily.

"A deal? What's there to trade with you? You'd even betray your savior, who knows what you're really up to!" Xiao Yan sneered.

Queen Medusa clenched her fist, but then relaxed it, stood up and bowed slightly to Xiao Yan: "I was wrong just now, I apologize to you."

Her attitude was extremely perfunctory, perhaps due to Queen Medusa's personality.

Although Xiao Yan felt that the other party was being perfunctory, he didn't say anything. After all, as long as they could speak properly, that was fine.
