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

Chapter 298 An Incomprehensible Technique: Xiao Yan Emerges from Seclusion

"Do you have a medicinal herb garden? How about letting this old man take a look at your medicinal herb garden?" Shennong asked.

"Of course there is, what's wrong?" Ancestor Danta asked.

"Hehe, let me show you a treasure!" Shennong chuckled, and then a wisp of liquid-like green flame appeared on his fingertip. A burst of vitality then erupted, attracting everyone present!

"This is! This is the Flame of Life! The Flame of Life, ranked fifth on the Strange Flame Ranking!"

Everyone present was astonished. Seeing the green flame and feeling its intense life force, it was obvious what kind of flame it was.

The Flame of Life, ranked fifth on the list of strange flames, is extremely peculiar. While most strange flames, though different in form, are all filled with destructive power, the Flame of Life does not exhibit strong destructive power. What makes it famous is the life force it is filled with.

It is said that this strange fire spreads out, and as long as the seeds of medicinal herbs are put into it, the seeds will quickly germinate and grow. In other words, with this strange fire, there is basically no need to worry about searching for medicinal herbs. As long as you have enough seeds, you can obtain the medicinal herbs you want in a continuous stream. It is truly amazing.

Moreover, this Flame of Life is also known as the Flame of Longevity. Those who obtain it will have a lifespan comparable to that of magical beasts famous for their longevity. However, its only drawback is that this flame is not good at combat, and its ability to enhance combat power is not very strong.

"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you? I was just lucky. I stumbled upon it by chance during a search for medicinal herbs."

Shennong the Elder laughed, saying that this was his treasure, which he had kept hidden for a long time. Now that he had decided to join the Tianfu Alliance, it would be exposed sooner or later, so he might as well take it out now. He still believed in the character of the Pill Tower Ancestor, well, the quality of the pill.

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower smiled and said, "With this Flame of Life, we can have as many medicinal herbs as we need, without worrying about their consumption. This will greatly enhance the overall strength of our Heavenly Mansion Alliance."

That's true. Xiao Li, Yao Lao, and Lin Laoguai are all masters of refining ninth-grade precious pills. They can refine ninth-grade precious pills, but they are limited by the medicinal materials they can produce. Moreover, refining ninth-grade precious pills is not 100% successful, and there will always be some consumption!

Last time, Xiao Li and Yao Lao used the medicinal herbs collected by the entire Nine Netherworld Python clan to refine pills, but they only managed to refine twenty-four Grade Nine Treasure Pills, most of which were Thunder Tribulation Pills.

It's fortunate that Xiao Li came up with a way to exploit the lightning tribulation; the black demon lightning has been put to good use, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough pills.

Xiao Li suddenly thought of something and asked Elder Lin, "Elder Lin, Elder Han, Elder Cheng, and Elder Lü, can they refine ninth-grade treasure pills? If not individually, what about working together?"

Old Monster Lin replied, "Of the three of them, only Old Han could probably refine a Grade Nine Treasure Pill by himself, but he couldn't withstand the Black Demon Lightning. If the three of them joined forces, plus me to withstand the Black Demon Lightning, the chances of success would be very high."

"In that case, let's first promote these three senior alchemists to the Dou Sheng level. This will make it easier to refine ninth-grade precious pills. And don't worry about the Black Demon Lightning; it's an excellent resource!"

"I'm feeling a bit itchy right now and want to refine a Grade Nine Precious Pill. Would you all do me the honor?"

Xiao Li smiled faintly, and everyone around him, except for Yao Lao, became interested.

After all, Xiao Li's cultivation level is so high, and his soul power has reached the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm. He should have no problem refining a Grade 9 precious pill. In particular, the alchemists of the Pill Tower lineage, led by Old Monster Lin, are eager to learn. This is a learning opportunity, and their alchemy bottlenecks may be broken through.

The next morning, Xiao Li set up an altar to refine pills in the square where the Pill Gathering was held!

It's unclear who leaked the news, but the scene was packed with people, just like a pill-making gathering, all there to watch the Yin-Yang Saint Xiao Li refine a ninth-grade pill.

Xiao Li sat cross-legged on the high platform, regulating his breathing and meditating to calm his mind. After a few breaths, Xiao Li opened his eyes, looked at the Yin-Yang Cauldron in front of him, and then waved his hand, causing countless medicinal herbs to float in mid-air.

"Fire!"

The Yin-Yang Sacred Flame appeared in Xiao Li's hand, and then it transformed into two fire dragons, one black and one white, which swept up the medicinal herbs in mid-air.

"How can he refine pills like this? He doesn't even use a cauldron, he just uses a strange fire to refine pills directly? Has he become that strong now?" The eighth-grade alchemists present were all shocked. They didn't expect that pills could be refined like this.

The old alchemist stroked his beard and observed. Among the alchemists present, he was perhaps the only one who truly understood Xiao Li's alchemy skills. Even the old alchemist had to comment that they were terrifyingly powerful!

"Yao Chen, why is Alliance Leader Xiao Li refining pills like this? And why is he taking out the Yin-Yang Cauldron from the Heavenly Cauldron?" Old Monster Lin asked.

The powerful figures present who joined the Tianfu Alliance unanimously agreed that Xiao Li was the leader of the alliance. Firstly, Xiao Li was extremely strong; secondly, he had an eight-star Dou Sheng wife, two high-level Dou Sheng ancestors, and he was a ninth-grade treasure pill refining master. Moreover, it was reasonable for him to be the leader of the alliance at such a young age!

The old apothecary slowly said, "This is Xiao Li's self-created fire control technique and alchemy technique that does not rely on the medicine cauldron to purify medicinal materials. It is called Yin Yang Fusion Pill Technique. The name is a bit hasty because he is terrible at naming things."

But his alchemy skills are amazing, even to me. This is his unique alchemy technique. He can even purify medicinal materials and condense pills directly through this fire dragon without using a cauldron or fire to gather the ingredients.

As for why he released the Yin-Yang Cauldron, it was probably to show off. After all, he possessed the Yin-Yang Cauldron, one of the top items on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, and even if he didn't use it, he still wanted to take it out and show it off.

"Forehead..."

Fire Cloud Ancestor then said, "Goodness, even I, this old ancestor, cannot match his fire control technique. Amazing!"

The old man Shennong stroked his beard and said, "This lad is impressive, but it's a pity his battle qi cultivation is still a bit lacking. Otherwise, he could try refining a ninth-grade profound pill. Watching this lad refine pills, I'm getting a little itchy to try it myself."

Xiao Li manipulated the two fire dragons to purify the pills, and then threw the fire dragons carrying the medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron. Xiao Li suddenly remembered that others might not be able to learn his technique, so he would use the old method. Otherwise, those who watched the pill refining would probably gain nothing.

Xiao Li changed his fire control technique, using some simple and easy-to-understand methods so that the viewers could understand it.

"So that's how it is!"

"Is that even possible? I've learned something new."

Seven days passed, and on the seventh day, the Black Demon Lightning descended as promised. After Xiao Li put away the refined pills, he began to collect the Black Demon Lightning. This Black Demon Lightning was a scarce resource. If he refined another Grade 9 Treasure Pill, the Black Demon Lightning summoned would be enough to refine another Grade 9 Treasure Pill-level Thunder Tribulation Pill.

"Black Demon Lightning can be used like this?" The alchemists of Lin Laoguai's lineage were dumbfounded. The Black Demon Lightning, which they avoided like the plague, could actually be collected and used as an ingredient for alchemy?

The old apothecary chuckled awkwardly: "Heh, that's just how he is. He never leaves empty-handed, making use of every available resource around him. To him, the Black Demon Lightning is a top-quality resource."

"I'm completely convinced."

Shennong smiled and said, "This lad is an unconventional alchemist. He's quite interesting."

Six months later, the gate to the star field was opened.

A gaunt young man dressed in a black robe walked out, followed by three stunningly beautiful women.

Xiao Yan, peak six-star Dou Zun!
