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

Chapter 270 Encountering Cai Lin

"What! Ziyan, you've already returned to Dragon Island?" Xiao Li asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have. Donglong Island is my father's loyalist, or more accurately, the legitimate loyalist of the Dragon Emperor. However, I did not advocate for it because the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit within me has not yet been resolved."

Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor's Seal can suppress the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit without wasting its medicinal power; otherwise, there would be even more trouble. I told the elders that my next return will be the day I unify Dragon Island!

Zi Yan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Unifying Dragon Island and executing those Dragon Kings who had split the island were Zi Yan's primary goals.

Zi Yan is now a mid-stage three-star Dou Sheng. After taking Xiao Li's Myriad Manifestations Saint Yuan Pill, she has broken through her realm one after another. Unfortunately, she still has little chance of winning against the three-headed dragon king. Zi Yan is not afraid of one-on-one combat, but she is afraid of three against one!

"What are your plans next?" Xiao Li asked.

"I plan to go to my father. Only he knows how to consume the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Because the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is of great significance, I didn't say anything about it on Dragon Island." Zi Yan possesses the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, and it would be best to refine this treasure as soon as possible.

"Alright! In that case, I still have some things to do. I'll come see you after I've finished them. Take these Grade 9 pills with you. I suggest you take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit after you've reached the Four-Star Dou Sheng level."

Xiao Li directly gave Zi Yan five Grade 9 precious pills: one Heaven-Mending Supreme Essence Pill, one Heavenly Star Sacred Qi Pill, one Four Symbols Sacred Essence Pill, and two Thunder Tribulation Pills.

Zi Yan's cultivation level required for advancement was too high due to the immense energy required for the Ancient Dragon of the Void. The Myriad Manifestations Saint Yuan Pill that Zi Yan had previously consumed only raised her cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Three-Star Dou Sheng realm.

The Heaven-Mending Supreme Essence Pill can raise the cultivation level of a powerhouse below the fourth-star Dou Sheng by nearly one star. However, Zi Yan is a Taixu Ancient Dragon, and the energy required to raise her level by one star is much greater than that of an ordinary Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Li gave Zi Yan five Grade 9 precious pills.

"Alright, I'm leaving!" Zi Yan transformed into a streak of purple light and vanished into the void. The spatial talent of the Ancient Void Dragon was truly formidable.

"Old Xiao, what do we do next? How do we use these pills?" The old medicine master didn't know how to use these grade nine precious pills.

Xiao Li glanced at Yao Lao speechlessly and said, "Of course we should take it first! We should try to raise our cultivation level as much as possible. Who cares if our battle qi is weak or not? Even a weak five-star Dou Sheng like me can kill a two-star Dou Sheng with one slap. Moreover, if a ninth-grade precious pill can cause weak battle qi, then it doesn't deserve to be called ninth-grade. Besides, what kind of Dou Sheng has weak battle qi?"

The old doctor nodded. Indeed, the ninth-grade treasure pill was extraordinary. It was a treasure pill specially made for Dou Sheng experts. One pill could save a Dou Sheng expert dozens or even hundreds of years of hard cultivation!

Besides, at the Dou Sheng level, how could there be anything like floating Dou Qi? Could someone with floating Dou Qi even advance to the Dou Sheng level?

"By the way, what did the Danta say? With our current strength, the Danta's Grand Elder is probably no match for us. We should try to get Danta to join the alliance."

At this moment, Yao Lao was in high spirits. He was a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, a Tian Jing in the late stage, a master of refining ninth-grade precious pills, and had three Tian-rank Dou skills. With this configuration, Yao Lao was confident that he could make the entire Zhongzhou tremble with a stomp of his foot.

Xiao Li nodded: "Indeed, it's possible. I've already gained the approval of that Pill Tower patriarch. We can go and copy—no, I mean, we can form an alliance with the Pill Tower. Let me finish what I'm currently busy with."

It's estimated that the Pill Tower is still complacent. It would be best if some powerful force stepped in to give them a warning and teach them a lesson.

Xiao Li didn't interact much with the people from the Pill Tower, but based on the evaluations of Elder Tianyin, Ancestor Huoyun, and the Flower Sect, the people of the Pill Tower can be summarized as having several characteristics: pedantic, stingy, arrogant, and looking down on others.

In fact, most alchemists are like this. Alchemists like Yao Lao, Wang Ming, and Venerable Tianhe are relatively easy-going and are rare. Alchemists like Xiao Li, who have a gangster background, are the best of the best!

"I am quite familiar with the Dan Tower. They invited me to join the Little Dan Tower back then, but I refused. Now I can only rely on you."

Yao Lao had once studied at the Pill Tower, where he met an important person, but he never found her. After advancing to the Dou Sheng realm, Yao Lao only felt that the Bone Spirit Cold Flame seemed somewhat different...

Xiao Li continued, "We must win over the Pill Tower, but not now. Once we win over the Pill Tower, our Heavenly Mansion Alliance will be exposed. Perhaps the Heavenly Mansion Alliance has already been exposed, but only a few scattered forces know about it, such as the Soul Palace."

The fact that the Soul Palace hasn't revealed anything means they're not up to anything. Our main goal right now is to accumulate strength. After that, I'll try to be a bit more flamboyant and draw the attention of the entire continent to me.

You will distribute the pills to improve the cultivation of those powerful individuals. However, I'm sure Elder Yao knows how to distribute them. Although we've formed an alliance, they haven't yet made any contributions, so don't give them too many benefits.

However, your old flame, Fairy Qing, would be a good match; after all, the way she looks at you is practically drooling. Hehe~ "3

The old apothecary's face twitched: "Hey, you bastard, you're teasing me again. I just have a few more female confidantes, so what? Did I eat your rice?"

Xiao Li's meaning was simple: he wanted to give the alliance members some benefits, but not too much at once. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed to be targeting only Old Ancestor Huoyun.

After all, Yin Valley is Xiao Li's faction, Qing Xianzi of Hua Sect has a relationship with Yao Lao, and Xingyun Pavilion is Yao Lao's own faction. All things considered, it seems that only Fenyan Valley is an outsider.

(Fire Cloud Ancestor: There's more to this than meets the eye! Speak up for me!)

Xiao Li calculated with his fingers: "There are less than five years until the Pill Gathering. Little Yanzi, you'd better hurry. Elder Yao, you may not know, but I participated in the last Pill Gathering and won second place."

The old alchemist chuckled: "Second? I was number one back in the day! I admit my alchemy skills aren't as good as yours, but I still managed to beat you by a little."

Xiao Li's lips twitched: "In my year, there was a veteran Dou Zun powerhouse and a veteran Rank 8 alchemist. It's already quite an achievement that I came in second. And don't interrupt me!"

In addition to the soul cultivation technique, the rewards for my year's Alchemy Gathering also included the reward of subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flames! Many people probably covet the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

I suspect there might be many changes at this year's Alchemy Conference, so I need to make some arrangements. I'll leave Xiao Yanzi's alchemy skills to you."

The old doctor nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

The two had only been chatting for a short time when they entered the Central Plains. Xiao Li habitually used his soul power to shroud his surroundings, and suddenly he spotted a familiar face.

"Huh? Is that Cai Lin? What's she doing here? She looks injured! And there are quite a few people chasing her!"

Xiao Li accidentally discovered Cai Lin when he released his soul power, and he was also injured!

"What's going on?" The old apothecary also used his soul power and discovered the colorful scales.

At this moment, Cai Lin was hugging her arm with one hand, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, looking exceptionally alluring. She had several wounds on her body and was weak.

"Men! Seize that vixen! After I've had my fill, I'll give you a little something!"

A lewd laugh rang out behind Cai Lin.
