Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 136 Xiao Yan's Recent Situation

Inside the newly opened cave, Lin Feng and Little Fairy Doctor entered one after the other. Lin Feng took out the lotus seat of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from his storage ring and gestured to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Xian'er, this is where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was born. Although it is a different kind of strange flame, it has a suppressive effect to some extent."

After Little Fairy Doctor sat down, Lin Feng took out many pills he had prepared over the past six months from his storage ring. These were all upgraded versions of the pills he had used to refine the strange fire. For example, the Blood Lotus Pill was originally only a fifth-grade pill, but with Lin Feng's peak sixth-grade alchemy skills, plus his relentless efforts to improve it, he managed to upgrade it to the level of a sixth-grade pill.

Moreover, based on Cai Lin's experience using the different flames to temper her body, Lin Feng prepared several portions of each type of protective pill. He had also long ago taught Xiao Yi Xian the True Dragon Body Tempering Technique; through long-term cultivation, even though Xiao Yi Xian rarely fought, her physical strength far surpassed that of a Dou Huang of the same level.

"Bang!"

After everything was prepared, Lin Feng took out the Netherworld Poison Fire, which had been sealed for a long time, from a storage ring.

"Xian'er, you must be careful from now on. The process of subduing the strange fire is accompanied by great pain. You need to quickly find the original fire of the Netherworld Poison Fire and then refine it into the Soul Absorbing Vessel."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin Feng, Xian'er will definitely succeed!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently. The usually serene girl was now incredibly resolute. Her brother Lin Feng had always silently sacrificed for her, while she had always been left standing behind him. It was like the Chuyun Empire itself; only she needed protection. She didn't want that. She wanted to sacrifice for her brother Lin Feng.

After exchanging a glance, Little Fairy Doctor no longer hesitated and swallowed the pills prepared by Lin Feng one by one. Then, she swallowed the Netherworld Poison Fire in one go.

Just as Lin Feng and the others were refining the Netherworld Poison Flame, a minor but significant event recently occurred in the Jia Ma Empire. The genius who had perished in Wutan City three years ago, the third young master of the Xiao family, had recovered, and his talent was even greater than before.

In just half a year, he went from the third level of Dou Qi to the eighth level. In addition, the three-year agreement made with the young sect master of Yunlan Sect some time ago made everything seem a little complicated.

Many forces in the Jia Ma Empire were waiting to see Yunlan Sect make a fool of itself. As for the Xiao family, after their Dou Wang ancestor fell and withdrew from the capital, they had long lost the right to be watched by many powerful forces.

Of course, if the third young master of the Xiao family grows up, then it will be a completely different story.

Meanwhile, the third young master of the Xiao family, who had displayed such prowess at his coming-of-age ceremony, was currently diligently practicing his alchemy skills in a cave behind the Xiao family's mountain. Indeed, Xiao Yan had already advanced to the level of a five-star Dou Zhe during his six-month journey through the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

After three years of honing his skills, this once impetuous young master had long since learned the lesson that "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind," and thus only displayed his eighth-level Dou Qi cultivation to the outside world. Even so, it still shocked everyone.

Even if it's a rebuilding process, such a rapid pace indicates that this person is at least at the level of a Dou Huang!

In fact, if Xiao Zhan hadn't been slightly stronger than Jia Liebi and the others, they would have already planned to kill Xiao Yan when he was weaker.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan, who was refining pills, took out a pill from his storage ring and swallowed it instantly.

"Form a first-grade healing pill, condense it for me!"

Xiao Yan's hand gestures changed rapidly, his soul power keeping a close eye on the situation inside the medicine cauldron, without the slightest carelessness.

"Buzz"

After a strange fluctuation, a pill slowly rose and fell inside the two medicine cauldrons in front of Xiao Yan.

Yao Chen, who had been watching from the sidelines, reached out and levitated it in his palm, then began to examine it closely.

"Hmm, not bad, Little Yanzi. The pill is perfectly round and has a rich aroma. Among alchemists of the same level, your skill in refining this grade of healing pill is considered above average!"

After offering a small compliment as encouragement, Yao Chen changed the subject and began to point out shortcomings.

"However, you were too nervous when you collected the pill, and there were brief interruptions during the refining process. Otherwise, this pill might have had the potential to condense pill patterns."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who told you, old man, to fool me and make me cultivate such a bizarre technique?" Xiao Yan pouted, seemingly recalling Yao Chen's expression back then.

"Now I have to swallow pills to maintain my battle qi even after refining a few pills. The endurance of this low-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique is so poor that it would probably make my fellow alchemists furious."

"Ahem," Yao Chen coughed awkwardly upon hearing Xiao Yan's complaint, then changed the subject. "Don't worry, Xiao Yan. When I was traveling in the Northwest Continent in my early years, I sensed the aura of a strange fire in the Natagor Desert."

"Next, you just need to follow my plan step by step to cultivate, and I will definitely retrieve this strange fire for you."

After Yao Chen finished speaking, he thought his silly disciple would jump up with joy, but to his surprise, the disciple was listless and seemed not to have heard him at all.

"Hey Xiaoyanzi, what's wrong with you? Did you break up with your boyfriend?"

"What are you saying, you shameless old man? I was just thinking that you said you were already a Dou Zong when you refined the Strange Flame, and you still faced a near-death experience. As for me, a mere Dou Zhe, how long will it take for me to advance to Dou Zong? Besides, with the 'help' of this low-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique, can I really advance to Dou Zong?"

When Xiao Yan spoke of helping, he emphasized it, as if he were hinting at something. Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Yao Chen was somewhat troubled.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yanzi. After you register for Canaan Academy tomorrow, I will personally refine some pills and exchange them for some beast fire from the Mittel Auction House."

"Even though this beast fire is incomparable to the strange fire, as long as there is enough of it, it is enough to raise the level of the Burning Technique."

At this point, Yao Chen thought to himself, "If it turns out that this Burning Technique really can't improve your level, I have a stable path paved for you. However, in that case, you and your little girlfriend will have no hope of being together!"

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. After enrolling in Canaan Academy, Xiao Yan, just like in the original story, took a long leave of absence for a year. However, a small accident occurred during this time. Just when Xiao Yan was about to show off, he encountered an enhanced version of his mentor, Ruolin.

Because of the care that Instructor Ruolin had given to Little Fairy Doctor, Lin Feng, who was already a sixth-grade alchemist, was able to raise her to the Dou Ling realm with just a little effort.

If it weren't for Yao Chen's secret intervention, Xiao Yan's family would probably be in dire straits.

After saying goodbye to his father and his girlfriend, Xiao Yan once again shouldered the enormous Xuan Heavy Ruler and embarked on the road to the Monster Mountain Range.

"Father, Xun'er, wait for me. When I return next time, I will be even stronger!"
