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

Chapter 297 Shennong the Elder, the Pill Tower Collection

"Heh, old monster, is this the young man you so highly praise? Tsk tsk tsk, quite impressive! At such a young age, he has already reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, the peak of a four-star Dou Sheng!"

A voice filled with the vicissitudes of life slowly echoed through the hall, accompanied by an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.

Then everyone saw a flash of green light before their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, an old man dressed in ordinary hemp clothes stood next to the Dan Tower Ancestor. In his hand, the old man was leaning on a cane that looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs. Many jade bottles were hanging on the cane, which made a tinkling sound when shaken.

The old herbalist was startled: "Elder Shennong, I never expected that you, my senior, would show yourself!"

"Huh? You're Yao Chen? That kid abandoned by the Yao Clan? Late-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng, nearing the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, such strength wouldn't be weak even in the Yao Clan. Has that old bastard Yao Dan gone blind? Hahaha."

Shennong the Elder looked at Yao Chen with slight surprise, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. He and Yao Dan were old rivals. Although Yao Dan's alchemy skills were superb, his judgment was really bad.

"Huh? Another surprise? Let me see: Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Nine Dragons Thunderfire, Volcanic Stone Flame, and Yin-Yang Twin Flames? But why do these Yin-Yang Twin Flames look so powerful?"

Shennong, the old man, never expected that the Tianfu Alliance would have such a surprising existence. Could it be that there are so many strange flames to be found?

"Senior Shennong." Xiao Li clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man Shennong.

"No need for formalities, no need for such formalities. Your name is Xiao Li, right? You look a lot like Xiao Xuan. My surname is Jiang, you can just call me Old Man Jiang." Shennong said with a smile.

"Old Jiang."

The old man Shennong nodded with a smile: "Hmm. Your Heavenly Mansion Alliance is doing quite well. I wonder if I could rest here for a while? You should have an alchemy hall here, right? How about I become the head of the alchemy hall?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Who was Shennong the Elder? He was a living fossil in the world of alchemists, an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. More importantly, Shennong the Elder was an alchemist who could refine ninth-grade Xuan Dan!

"Alright! No problem! Elder Jiang, I also have some knowledge of alchemy and would like to learn from you, how about it?" Xiao Li rubbed his hands together and said.

Xiao Li's success rate in refining Grade 9 Precious Pills is extremely high, but it's not so good for Grade 9 Profound Pills. Now that there's a master of Grade 9 Profound Pills, he must learn from him.

"Oh? Good! I've been itching to try my hand at alchemy, let's see how good your skills are." Shennong laughed heartily.

The old apothecary followed along. It was a rare opportunity; he wanted to go up and take a look, and perhaps his alchemy skills would improve once again.

Old Monster Lin then approached the Pill Tower Ancestor and asked, "Ancestor, how did you manage to invite this Senior Shennong?"

The old patriarch of Danta smiled wryly and said, "I already knew about the alliance, but you little guys are too dependent on me. I have no choice but to let my friend Xiao Li put you through some hardship."

As it turns out, you all joined the alliance directly, saving a lot of trouble. As an elder of the alliance, I naturally have to play a role. It took me half a year and a lot of persuasion to convince the old man Shennong.

I'll be staying in the Alliance for a while now. Staying in Danta used to pose a danger to you, but not anymore. My gaming life can be postponed for a while.

"By the way, old monster! It's a rare opportunity for me to visit your Pill Tower. Let me take a look at the treasures of your Pill Tower." The old man Shennong returned after leaving.

"Senior, let me lead the way." Old Monster Lin took the initiative to lead the way.

Soon, the group arrived at the Pill Tower Scripture Pavilion, the true place of inheritance for the Pill Tower, where a series of extremely expensive pill formulas are kept.

Xiao Li looked left and right, and could only say that it was indeed the Pill Tower. He had collected so many ninth-grade pill formulas over the years, and there were so many here!

"Huh? The Holy Longevity Pill, a Grade Nine Treasure Pill, can extend life by two hundred years. It can be taken multiple times, but the maximum number of pills taken is five. Five Holy Longevity Pills can extend life by about four hundred years!"

What a treasure! Ancestor Xiao Kong's lifespan is running out. Although that place restored Ancestor Xiao Kong to his peak combat power, it also consumed a large amount of his lifespan.

The old ancestor probably only has less than thirty years left to live. If he fights with someone, his lifespan will be shortened!

We need to refine some of this!

Xiao Li continued to look at these pill formulas. There were more than a dozen formulas for the ninth-grade Xuan Pill. Among them, Xiao Li even found the pills that belonged to the Pill Tower Ancestor himself.

The Fusion Heaven Pill, a ninth-grade Profound Pill, has the effect of greatly enhancing one's battle qi cultivation and soul power after consumption. If the user's soul power is at the late stage of the Heaven Realm, this pill can allow their soul power to reach the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm!

"The Heaven-Melting Pill... I wonder if it can help me break through to the Emperor Realm Soul stage?"

Xiao Li pondered. His soul power had already reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm. He was grateful to the Thousand Demon Saint, otherwise the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm would have been a hurdle for him.

Having reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm for many years now, and with the improvement of his cultivation, his soul power is also increasing, but he is still in the Heavenly Realm. Reaching the Emperor Realm is really quite difficult.

"If all else fails, should I go to the Heavenly Tomb? The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb can indeed help me reach the Emperor Realm, but that's an opportunity belonging to Xiao Yan. It feels a bit unsettling for a grandfather to steal his grandson's opportunity to become stronger. This is tricky; I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too. Oh well, I'll see."

Xiao Li continued reading and discovered many Xuan Dan recipes, a significant portion of which were for healing. Even the most severe injuries could be treated, and even a drop in cultivation level could be recovered.

"What is this? The Creation Golden Pill!" Xiao Li saw a golden pill formula, and Shennong Elder and Yao Lao also looked over.

"Wow! A recipe for a ninth-grade golden pill! You old monster, your Pill Tower is truly amazing! No wonder the Soul Clan schemed against your Pill Tower back then! Uh, I spoke too quickly, sorry, sorry." Shennong the Elder exclaimed in surprise, then realized his slip of the tongue and immediately apologized.

Xiao Li frowned. The Soul Clan's scheming against the Pill Tower must be related to the incident where Soul Void Child killed the Little Pill Tower Master. Could there be some hidden story behind it?

The Creation Golden Pill, a ninth-grade golden pill, possesses the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth. Once swallowed, one's fate is in one's own hands, not in the hands of heaven! The Creation Golden Pill can greatly enhance the cultivation of high-level Dou Sheng! Even a powerhouse at the early stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng can directly break through to the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng by consuming the Creation Golden Pill!

If one's soul realm is at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, the Creation Golden Pill can help their soul reach the Emperor Realm! This greatly shortens the time required to cultivate the soul, and if the opportunity arises, it can even directly elevate the soul realm to the Emperor Realm!

As expected of the Ninth Grade Golden Elixir, which is known as the "Creation Elixir," it is a pity that the Ninth Grade Golden Elixir requires a lot of materials, and after the elixir is formed, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder must be introduced into the elixir to transform it into a Golden Elixir. This process is too dangerous.

Moreover, taking a Grade Nine Golden Elixir requires at least two specific Grade Nine Profound Elixirs for assistance in refining it; otherwise, the medicinal power of the Golden Elixir will harm the body.
