Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 137 Successive Seclusion

"Bang bang bang"

On the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, a black figure wielding a huge black ruler clashed fiercely with a wild boar monster exuding a ferocious aura. Each collision between the two produced a tremendous sound.

In an unknown corner, a spirit was stroking its beard, watching the scene unfold with admiration.

"Not bad, not bad. Little Yanzi really needs to be trained hard. In just half a month, he has actually been able to fight against a first-level peak magical beast with the strength of a six-star Dou Zhe."

Looking back on the past two weeks, Yao Chen was quite moved by his young apprentice, remarking, "This boy is just like me!"

Back when he was driven out of his tribe, wasn't he the same way, striving with all his might to become stronger and not letting go of the slightest opportunity?

"Fire-Absorbing Palm!"

Xiao Yan below dared not be careless. Taking advantage of the wild boar's lack of attention, he unleashed a powerful "Fire Absorption Palm" and then used the Xuan Heavy Ruler to slash repeatedly at the wound.

"Prepare to die!"

Sensing that the wild boar was about to launch a final attack before it died, Xiao Yan leaped high into the air and swung his sword at the spot on the boar's body that was spurting blood, almost cleaving it in two.

After landing with a "whoosh," Xiao Yan turned around gracefully, skillfully pulled out a small knife, tore open the wild boar's brain, and searched for something. After a while, he got up regretfully.

"What a pity, yet another magical beast without a magic core!"

"Alright, Xiao Yanzi, the probability of a Tier 1 magical beast producing a magic core is already low. If you want a magic core, wait until you advance to the Dou Shi level, then Tier 2 magical beasts are guaranteed to produce magic cores." Seeing that the battle was over, Yao Chen appeared again from nowhere.

"How does it feel after absorbing several third-tier beast flames with this Burning Technique?"

Hearing Yao Lao's question, Xiao Yan composed himself; he was simply feeling regretful.

"Teacher, since absorbing the beast fire obtained in exchange, the Burning Technique has advanced to the mid-level of the Yellow Rank. According to your description, its endurance is even comparable to the high-level Yellow Rank!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Yao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his spirits lifted again.

"Little Yanzi, next we need to start preparing to collect the spiritual items needed to absorb the strange fire. I do know Lin Feng, but unfortunately, if he weren't also an alchemist, I could have easily captured him this time!"

"Old man, you actually know that imperial prodigy?" Xiao Yan was also surprised to hear his unorthodox master's words.

"You little brat, you're a master when you need something, but an old man when you don't! Let me teach you what respect for your teacher is all about today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen conjured a long soul whip in his hand and gently lashed it towards Xiao Yan.

"Master, please spare me! I will never dare to do it again!"

After a period of chaos, the two finally calmed down.

"However," Yao Chen said with a serious expression, "Little Yanzi, you'll have to work hard from now on. You must strive to reach at least the intermediate level of a Battle Master in this Monster Mountain Range."

"Absorbing a strange fire is no easy task; the slightest mistake can lead to annihilation!"

"yes!"

Seeing his disciple's serious expression, Yao Chen turned his gaze to a newly built city at the foot of the Monster Mountain Range.

"Could Lin Feng have discovered that strange fire? Perhaps his alchemy skills have improved so rapidly, even to the point of being able to refine the Breakthrough Pill, because of the help of the strange fire."

Yao Chen had a vague premonition that perhaps the strange fire he had sensed years ago had been taken away by Lin Feng. He glanced at his disciple, who seemed completely clueless, and seeing his bewildered expression, Yao Chen made up his mind.

"Even without that strange fire, I will obtain enough high-level beast fire for you to support the evolution of the Burning Technique. Even the Bone Spirit Cold Fire is an option."

While the master and apprentice continued their efforts in the Monster Mountain Range, far away in the mountains outside Canaan Academy, beneath a rushing waterfall, two figures were chatting idly.

"Sister Cailin, Lin Feng and Sister Xian'er have been inside for a month now, why haven't we heard any signs of trouble? Are they alright?"

A month passed, and there was still no news. Even the usually fearless Zi Yan was starting to worry. She had been there when Lin Feng refined the strange fire, but he finished refining it in just a few days.

"Ziyan, you have to believe in them, everything will be alright." Although Cailin was also a little worried, as the backbone of the two, she could not show any concern at this moment.

"Click."

After a sound, the boulder at the entrance of the cave slowly moved aside, and a figure slowly appeared.

"That's right, Ziyan, you have to have faith in us."

"Lin Feng, you're out." Seeing the familiar figure, Zi Yan was first pleasantly surprised, then puzzled. "Huh, Lin Feng, why are you alone? Where's Sister Xian'er?"

Not only Zi Yan, but Cai Lin also felt strange and looked at Lin Feng, waiting for an answer.

"Xian'er has completely refined the strange fire," Lin Feng recalled the scene at the time, "but perhaps this Netherworld Poison Fire is naturally paired with the Calamity Poison Body. The two produced a strange reaction when they met."

Lin Feng recalled, "After Xian'er finished refining the poisonous fire, she was about to leave seclusion when a purple light suddenly appeared on her body, repelling me. Even with my super strong soul power, I couldn't sense what was going on inside."

"Following Xian'er's telepathic message that this was her destiny, after observing her for a few days and finding that Xian'er's aura was steadily improving and there were no major problems, I came out of seclusion."

Seeing the two who suddenly realized what was happening, Lin Feng continued, "I have a feeling that Xian'er will undergo tremendous changes after she comes out of seclusion. We must work hard so that she doesn't surpass us too much."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zi Yan and the other girl felt a surge of pressure. Although they also hoped that Little Fairy Doctor could improve, everyone's talent was exceptional, and if they were suddenly surpassed, they would feel a sense of loss.

Before Lin Feng could say anything more, Cai Lin waved her hand and opened up another cave next to the original one, then disappeared in a flash.

Zi Yan, however, stood still, gazing expectantly at Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, I'm out of pills. Could you make me some more?"

With a flick of his wrist, a large jade bottle appeared in his palm. "Ziyan, the pills inside are all made using spiritual materials capable of refining rank six pills. I hope you can make great progress this time."

"Hehe, Lin Feng, just you wait. When I emerge from seclusion this time, I will definitely make great progress and find you even more spiritual treasures."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a purple light and disappeared from the spot.

After the two disappeared, Lin Feng stood there stunned for a moment. Why was everyone gone so soon after he came out of seclusion? He pondered for a while. Lin Feng shook his head slightly. Being alone was a bit boring. With a wave of his hand, he carved out another cave in the rock wall, and in a flash, he entered it and began his seclusion.

"With the remnants of that Scorpion-Biyan, this is the perfect opportunity to cultivate to the peak of the Six-Star Dou Huang realm and consume that Emperor-level pill!"
