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

Chapter 290 Undercurrents

(I can't write anymore, I'll just stick to three updates a day.)

With Xiao Yan and Wang Ming completing their alchemy, this year's Pill Gathering concluded with their Pill Lightning!

Who could have imagined that this year's Pill Tower would be so powerful, with so many Grade 8 pills appearing! From two-colored pill lightning to eight-colored pill lightning, everything imaginable is available!

Xuan Kongzi looked down at Mu Gu, who lay there like a dead dog, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"At this point, I will not say anything more. The pill lightning has dissipated, so please, all participants, take out the pills you have refined."

As soon as Xuan Kongzi said this, all the contestants standing on the stone platform took out their pills and held them in their hands!

This alchemy gathering is full of experts, and there are more than ten, nearly twenty, seventh-grade pills alone.

But compared to these seventh-grade pills, the audience focused their attention on the eight eighth-grade pills!

Eight Grade 8 pills—this year's Pill Gathering is truly a fierce competition! Many viewers still remember the last Pill Gathering; the Yin-Yang Saint, now renowned throughout the Central Plains, was a participant in that year's event.

However, only three participants in the previous Alchemy Competition were able to refine Grade 8 pills, while this year there are eight!

"The most precious elixir of this alchemy competition has been created, and its owner is none other than the ultimate champion of this competition, Wang Ming!"

Wang Ming stood with his hands behind his back, enjoying the cheers from the crowd.

Xiao Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air and muttered to himself, "I have already performed beyond my normal capacity. The highest I could summon in the Starfall Pavilion was six-colored pill lightning. Grandpa Wang was able to summon eight-colored pill lightning, almost nine colors."

As expected of Second Master's teacher, his alchemy skills are truly extraordinary! However, I heard from my teacher that Grandpa Wang was once instructed by him for a period of time. Would that make him my senior brother? Second Master is Grandpa Wang's disciple, so would he be my junior nephew?

"Huh! What am I thinking? If Second Master finds out, he'll rip my tongue out."

Next, Xuan Kongzi announced that Wang Ming would become one of the candidates for future giants of the Pill Tower, and gave the champion Wang Ming a scroll of soul cultivation technique as a prize.

o。。。。。

At night, in a room of the Pill Tower, many powerful figures had gathered, including Yao Chen, Old Monster Lin, Tian Yinzi, the three giants of the Pill Tower, Old Ancestor Huoyun, Xiao Yan, Wang Ming, Tang Zhen, Su Wanyin, Hua Yu, and Fairy Qing.

"Next up is the battle for the Three Thousand Burning Flames. The Soul Palace and the Styx Alliance are definitely going to bare their fangs. I just don't know if we have enough people."

The old doctor crossed his hands in deep thought.

Old Ancestor Huoyun slumped in his chair, sitting there utterly bored, toying with two fireballs in his hands.

Old Monster Lin stroked his beard and said seriously, "Their target is the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Why don't we set up traps and ambush them in the star field beforehand?"

"Can!"

"feasible!"

"Who should go?"

Old Monster Lin sat up straight and said calmly, "I will personally lead the team there. After all, our Dan Tower has just joined the alliance, so we should at least offer a token of our loyalty, right?"

Tianyinzi smiled and said, "Let me accompany Elder Lin."

The old doctor nodded. The alliance is currently in a phase of integration, and everyone should cooperate more.

"What if! I mean, what if! The Lord of the Soul Palace comes?" Su Wanyin suddenly asked.

The powerful figures were taken aback, and Yao Lao frowned deeply: "Although we were very strong before, we were still no match for Hun Miesheng. The only person capable of resisting Hun Miesheng is not here. Please wait a moment, I will contact him."

The old doctor took out a special jade mirror and infused it with his soul power.

. . . . .

On Ancient Dragon Island, in the Void Thunder Pool, he was utterly exhausted.

A purple figure on Xiao Li's body kept snuggling up to him, saying coquettishly, "Mmm~ No~ Xiao Li, you smell so good! It was definitely the right choice for me to share my dragon-phoenix essence blood with you. You can practically be considered half a dragon-phoenix now, hehe~ You smell so good~"

Buzz—

The special jade mirror beside Xiao Li suddenly lit up, and Xiao Li reached out and took it.

"Alright, Ziyan, stop fooling around, something's up."

Zi Yan slowly stood up from Xiao Li, twisted her waist, and put on her clothes.

"Why are there so many things happening? You've only been with me for a short time!"

Xiao Li stood up, used his fighting spirit to quickly clean himself up, put on his clothes, and injected his soul power into the spatial jade slip.

The next moment, the phantom of Yao Lao's soul appeared, while on Yao Lao's side, the phantom of Xiao Li's soul appeared.

This is a special jade mirror used for two-way communication, enabling long-distance communication and exchange of spiritual power.

The old doctor spoke first, asking, "Have you resolved things on your end?"

"Resolved."

The old medicine master breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "That's good. Why don't you come to the Pill Tower? The Star Domain will open in a few days, and we're worried that Hun Miesheng might come then, so..."

"So you want me to come back, right? It's no big deal. Don't worry! I'll be back." Xiao Li immediately agreed. He wanted to escape Zi Yan's clutches; Zi Yan was too terrifying.

"That's good. Huh? Where are you now? I see lightning raging behind you." Yao Lao suddenly asked.

"I am currently in a void lightning pool, with black demonic lightning all around me."

"Heavens! A void thunder pool! Such a wondrous place exists!"

The situation on Yao Lao's side immediately erupted, with many powerful figures crowding over to inquire about the location of the Void Thunder Pool.

Burning Flame Valley is particularly interested in the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, which possesses some characteristics of thunder. The lightning energy in the Void Thunder Pool is a great tonic for the Nine Dragons Thunderfire!

Xiao Li looked at the chaotic scene and cut off the signal. Then, he stroked his chin and pondered, "Soul Extinction? Will he come? Probably not. Apart from Soul Extinction, all the others in the Soul Palace are trash!"

Could there be some other unexpected event this time? Those above the Five-Star Dou Sheng level are not allowed to leave the mountain, but if someone were to use such cultivation to suppress the Central Plains, the imperial clans would probably turn a blind eye, so they would still have to go.

Just as Xiao Li was talking to himself, a delicate body embraced him: "Finished talking? Shall we continue?"

Zi Yan's voice was alluring, causing Xiao Li to feel a sudden ache in his lower back.

"Next time, next time. This time I'm going back to Zhongzhou," Xiao Li said with a laugh.

Zi Yan pouted, "Too fast! We've only been playing for ten days, and now something's come up again? Oh well, go ahead!"

Xiao Li's eyes immediately lit up.

"But I'm going too!"

These words brought Xiao Li back to reality. He had originally planned to give the kidneys a break, but it seems that won't be possible now!

The Ancient Dragon of the Void—no! The Dragon-Phoenix is ​​too ferocious; Xiao Li can't handle it!

"Are you sure you can leave Dragon Island? What if something happens to Dragon Island?" Xiao Li asked, after all, Dragon Island had just been unified and there were still many things to consider.

"It's not a big problem. The elders will handle it. Because of my strength, there's no one in the clan who's dissatisfied. Now it just needs time to adjust. I happen to need to visit my father, so I'll accompany you on the way."
