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

Chapter 340 Pharmacopoeia

"Father! What's wrong with you?"

The scene changes to the house where Gu Yuan is resting. Gu Xun'er is immediately anxious when she sees Gu Yuan in this state. How could her invincible father have become like this?

"Xun'er? Good! Early stage of five-star Dou Sheng, such great progress. It's just a pity that she was snatched up by some rascal." Gu Yuan said, patting Gu Xun'er's head.

"Senior Gu," Xiao Yan greeted Gu Yuan with clasped hands.

"Since Xun'er has already decided on you, there's no need to call me senior anymore, just call me uncle."

Gu Yuan said with a smile, although he was somewhat unconvinced, but the die was cast and he had nothing to say.

"Uncle Gu."

At this time, Gu Yuan's temples had turned gray, and he looked much older. After all, he had suffered a great blow and was somewhat depressed.

"What happened to Father? Why are you here? Could it be?!"

Gu Yuan sighed, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't left the Ancient Realm, the Ancient Clan wouldn't have suffered this calamity. But thankfully, with Xun'er here, our Ancient Clan still has a chance!"

Outside, in the pavilion, Xiao Yan asked, "Second Master, what happened to the Ancient Clan? Even Uncle Gu is like this? Could it be the Soul Clan?"

Xiao Li nodded: "That's right, it's the Soul Clan! But I don't quite understand how they managed to beat Gu Yuan like this. The Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan are very close in strength, it's hard to tell who will win!"

From what I understand, the Soul Emperor should have had no help and defeated Gu Yuan alone, while the other nine-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan, Void Devouring Flame, was in the Ancient Realm.

The two of them didn't join forces, so only Gu Yuan knows how Soul Emperor won. I'll ask him later, just to be prepared, since the other Ancient Emperor Jade is with me.”

Xiao Li had some guesses, but he wasn't very sure. The Soul Emperor definitely had a trump card, but the price of that trump card was probably very high!

"Second Master, what should I do next?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Going to the Pharmacopoeia is my chance to make my move. The Ancient Emperor Jade of the Three Clans Alliance will also be seized by the Soul Clan at this time! Next, the Soul Emperor's target will be me."

. . . . .

Xiao Li sighed.

"Second Master, do you want to give away the Ancient Emperor Jade? But you don't have a suitable reason?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.

"Oh? How did you know?" Xiao Li raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Yan looked as if he had known this all along: "Second Master, you should know where the Ancient Emperor's Cave is. You must have already made many arrangements, but the Ancient Emperor's Jade of the Spirit Clan has disrupted your plans!"

How about this: you hand over the Ancient Emperor Jade to me. I'll be attending the Pharmacopoeia anyway, and the Ancient Emperor Jade will just fall out during the battle with the Soul Clan's experts, right?

"The Soul Clan will definitely chase after the Ancient Emperor Jade. I'll just make a show of trying to snatch it up. Although it's a bit deliberate, the Soul Emperor shouldn't refuse the temptation of the Ancient Emperor's Cave!"

Xiao Li re-evaluated Xiao Yan: "I didn't realize you, a brute who only knows nuclear explosions, could show such wisdom? Fine, take it!"

Xiao Li tossed the Ancient Emperor Jade to Xiao Yan, and then gave him a spatial jade mirror.

"This is a specially made spatial jade mirror. In the Soul Clan's war of annihilation, the entire small world was usually enveloped by the Void Devouring Flame, isolating it from the outside world. But my specially made spatial jade mirror can communicate with the outside world."

Even with the Void Devouring Flame, I can still come in. But I'll try to figure out if I can deal with it and let you subdue it!

Xiao Yan nodded and whispered, "The Void Devouring Flame, the second-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. By the way, what is the first-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, Second Master?"

Xiao Yan asked a very insightful question.

"The number one ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking is the Fusion Strange Flame, the Emperor Flame! The fusion of twenty-two Strange Flames is the number one ranked Strange Flame. Previously, the number one ranked one was this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. His true form was a special Strange Flame. He devoured twenty-two Strange Flames and became a Dou Di."

Upon hearing Xiao Li's answer, Xiao Yan was also taken aback; it was actually him!

Seven days later, Xiao Yan, Yao Chen, and Shennong Elder went to the Medicine Clan to participate in the Pharmacopoeia.

Xiao Li watched the group leave and nodded slightly. The final battle was about to begin.

"Cai Lin, go down and make arrangements, integrate the resources. Next is the decisive battle with the Soul Clan," Xiao Li instructed the alluring woman beside him.

Xiao Yan's wife, Cai Lin, obtained the inheritance of the ancient Devouring Python in the Nine Netherworld and evolved into the Nine-Colored Devouring Python. With the help of the pills that Xiao Yan had previously obtained for her, her cultivation level reached the early stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng.

Among the strong individuals in the entire Tianfu Alliance, Cai Lin is considered one of the best. Moreover, she is very skilled in governing the alliance. She is a natural-born female powerhouse. In comparison, the four members of the Xiao Li family seem rather lazy.

"Yes, Second Grandfather." Cai Lin bowed slightly and went to prepare.

Xiao Li looked into the distance, his gaze falling upon the backs of Xiao Yan and the other two.

Xiao Yan, mid-stage Six-Star Dou Sheng.

Yao Chen, a peak five-star Dou Sheng.

Shennong the Elder, early stage of the Seven Stars Divine Saint.

All three of them have significantly improved their strength, and all three can refine ninth-grade Xuan pills. However, the success rate is uncertain, except for Shennong Elder.

Although Yao Chen can refine ninth-grade Xuan Dan, his success rate is really low, and he has never succeeded even once.

Xiao Yan had theory but no practice. He had only refined ninth-grade treasure pills before, and had never refined a profound pill. Ninth-grade profound pills were extremely unfamiliar to him.

However, in this pharmacopoeia, refining pills is one thing, but resisting the Soul Clan is the key.

"I should go and tell my uncle to prepare." Xiao Li's figure then disappeared.

. . . . . .

The Medicine Clan resides in the Shennong Mountains in the far south of the Central Plains. This area is rich in the energy of heaven and earth, making it suitable for the growth of many rare and precious materials. The old man Shennong also lived in seclusion here before.

"Who goes there! Trespassing is strictly forbidden in the Medicine Clan's sacred territory!"

The guards of the Medicine Clan spotted the group and stepped forward to stop them!

"The Heavenly Alliance's Vice Leader Yao Chen and Supreme Elder Shennong have been invited to the Medicine Clan to participate in the Pharmacopoeia!"

Xiao Yan slowly walked forward, exuding an astonishing aura that forced the guards to retreat.

"It's the Tianfu Alliance? I didn't expect them all to come. It's a pity that Alliance Leader Xiao isn't here. If he were, the first place in this pharmacopoeia competition would probably be his."

"Who can argue with that? I once witnessed Alliance Leader Xiao refining pills from afar, and it was truly astonishing. It's said that he's already a senior ninth-grade alchemist, and he can most likely refine ninth-grade Xuan pills, which are ninth-grade golden pills..."

"The Golden Core is unlikely; it hasn't appeared for thousands of years."

"Aren't you curious? Even if Alliance Leader Xiao didn't come, the three people in front of us are not simple. Yao Chen, the Medicine Saint, is a veteran alchemist and a senior master of refining ninth-grade precious pills."

That Shennong elder is even more extraordinary, a living fossil of the alchemist world. Even the Flame Saint Xiao Yan is an extremely powerful alchemist. This pharmacopoeia competition is truly a battle of dragons and tigers!
