Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 153 Xiao Yan, Immersed in Life Abroad

In the Luoyan Empire, within a city called Golden Eagle City...

A dozen or so figures stood on a high platform, surrounded by a dense crowd, the noise and cheers deafening.

"I never expected that our Golden Goose City would have so many alchemists. It seems that this alchemist competition will be quite exciting."

"The battle at the front is fierce, and the Mulan Empire has been completely destroyed. The empire urgently needs some grand events to soothe the fear in the hearts of its people. The Alchemist Conference in Golden Eagle City has come at just the right time!"

"Hiss, look at that medicine cauldron. It's thick and heavy, made of bronze with a bluish tinge. That should be a fourth-tier medicine cauldron, a bronze and wood cauldron, right?"

"Look at that medicine cauldron, it's extraordinary too. Its aura is fiery red and intense, bursting with power. It must be at least a fourth-tier or higher medicine cauldron."

"Hey, what kind of medicine cauldron is that kid holding?"

The chattering sounds rose and fell, and countless eyes followed the sound, landing on a corner of the high platform, where a young man wrapped in a black robe took out a rather dilapidated dark red medicine cauldron from his storage ring.

Whether in appearance or energy reaction, this cauldron was inferior to the surrounding people. As soon as it was taken out, many disdainful voices immediately arose from all around.

"Elder, I clearly have the Black Demon Cauldron, which is ranked eighth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, why won't you let me use it?"

Feeling the gazes around him, Xiao Yan said in a low voice, "With my alchemy skills, without the help of the Black Demon Cauldron, I'm afraid I might not be able to compare with them."

In the world of alchemy, a good cauldron is of great help to alchemists. It can significantly increase the success rate when refining pills. Moreover, some low-quality cauldrons cannot withstand high temperatures, which may cause them to suddenly explode during the alchemy process.

Therefore, medicine cauldrons are also divided into quite detailed levels, from the first to the eighth level, from low to high. Above the eighth level, one can be considered to have entered the "Heavenly Cauldron Ranking". It seems that there are only thirteen medicine cauldrons of this level in the world. This shows how precious they are.

At this moment, the dark red cauldron that Xiao Yan took out, even if it broke through the sky, had only just reached the second level and had basically no effect.

"How did I end up with such a foolish little fellow? This isn't the Gama Empire you're familiar with. Being in a foreign land, you should at least keep your wealth out of sight."

The will of the giant sun snorted and said, "Besides, didn't you hear what these guys were saying? The Fallen Goose Empire has just been defeated. You're fine if you're rich, and you're fine if you're young and rich, but if you're young and rich, and you're from the enemy forces of these defeated ones, then you might be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled and gave an awkward yet polite smile.

He certainly understood what the will of the giant sun was saying. Along the way, Xiao Yan had been training all the way from the Jia Ma Empire, no, it should now be called the Yunlan Empire.

He traveled all the way from the Yunlan Empire to the Luoyan Empire. Wherever he went, the people of the Luoyan Empire hated the people of the Yunlan Empire to the bone!

Putting everything else aside, if his identity were discovered, the people in the audience who were cheering him on just a moment ago would skin him alive and tear him apart the next!

"But without the help of the Black Demon Cauldron, my alchemy skills..."

"You seem to have forgotten your true trump card," the Giant Sun said calmly.

"Elder, do you mean to say...?"

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Without saying much, he flicked his finger, and a large amount of materials appeared on the stone platform. There were probably more than fifty kinds of materials. This was the first time Xiao Yan had ever made a pill from so many materials in all the years he had learned alchemy.

Upon seeing so many medicinal herbs, the people around gasped in surprise, some quite shocked.

It's important to understand that while the quantity of medicinal herbs doesn't determine the grade of a pill, higher-grade pills often require more auxiliary materials.

For example, the auxiliary materials used in the eighth-grade pills refined by Lin Ran can be as many as hundreds or even thousands!

"With so many medicinal herbs, what level of pill is this guy going to refine?"

"Heh, such a young age, wearing a black robe to put on airs. I think he's just afraid of failing at alchemy, so he's preparing extra pills."

"Don't be overly concerned with righteousness. Those who have made it to this final round of alchemy are no ordinary people. Don't underestimate them."

"This kid's only in his teens or twenties, what's there to be afraid of... Holy crap, green flames?!"

Suddenly, an incredulous exclamation drew the attention of countless people.

Xiao Yan raised his head with some confusion, then turned around and was immediately stunned. He saw a middle-aged alchemist standing to the side with a dark green flame rising from his palm. Around the flame, strange dark waves rippled, making it look extremely eerie.

"What... what kind of flame is this?" Staring blankly at the eerie green flame, Xiao Yan was somewhat bewildered. Then, a thought struck him: "Could this be a strange flame?!"

"What strange fire? It's just a wisp of beast fire, nothing special." The Giant Sun's will said calmly, "Where in this world would there be so many strange fires? For someone your age to have even one is already a rare find."

"That's true, that's true..."

Xiao Yan was secretly delighted, but shortly after someone summoned the ghostly green flame, two more waves of exclamations came from the audience. It turned out that someone else had unexpectedly summoned a light brown flame and a pitch-black flame.

The three unique flames attracted the attention of countless people, and the audience was quite excited. It seemed that today's competition would become even more exciting.

"Each flame is quite nice, isn't it?"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xiao Yan grinned, slowly raised his hand, flicked his fingers, and the drifting blood-red flames suddenly burst forth, instantly raising the temperature on the square.

At this moment, the various flames that had been leaping and cheering in everyone's hands began to wilt quietly for some unknown reason.

A gentle breeze suddenly swept across the plaza, causing the strangely colored flames to tilt slightly. What was even more surprising was that these flames tilted so that they all pointed towards Xiao Yan, who was in the corner... or more precisely, towards the ethereal crimson flames floating in his palm.

This strange sight is like... a courtier paying homage to a king!

"Kid, I already told you, bring out your strongest weapon. Are you still worried about this medicine cauldron?"

The will of the giant sun laughed loudly in Xiao Yan's mind: "With the appearance of the strange fire, all other fires submit. With your strange fire and the power of your true self, these guys probably won't even be able to refine pills properly. How can you possibly lose?!"

The strange scene that suddenly appeared in the square naturally attracted the attention of countless people, and for a moment, all eyes fell on Xiao Yan.

Feeling the astonished gazes directed at him, Xiao Yan was greatly shaken. His expression was filled with undisguised pride. With a flick of his hand, the blood-red flame in his palm was thrown into the medicine cauldron. Only then did the flames in the hands of the other contestants return to normal.

"A strange flame has appeared, and all other flames submit to it! This guy actually possesses a strange flame?!"

"Who is this kid? He actually possesses a strange fire!"

"Hmph, what good is fire if you can't control it? In the end, you'll only end up burning yourself!"

In the square, as the strange scene disappeared, the contestants gradually returned their attention to the test they were about to face. They poured the flames in their hands into the medicine cauldron, then took out the medicinal materials from their storage rings and began the first step in refining pills: extraction!

Xiao Yan did the same, his eyes fixed on the medicine cauldron. Occasionally, he would wave his hand and throw one or two medicinal herbs from the stone platform into the cauldron. Then, he controlled the temperature of the flames and slowly extracted the essence needed for making the pills according to the information recorded in the prescription.

This earnest look made the Giant Sun Will in Xiao Yan's mind smile even more.

Immerse yourself in this journey of growth and experience, and make the most of the opportunities that come with being the protagonist!

After Xiao Yan met Xiao Li, and under Lin Ran's deliberate arrangement, the Giant Sun Will successfully became Xiao Yan's new guide.

Guided by the will of the giant sun, Xiao Yan left the Yunlan Empire and came outside the empire to train. Little did he know that the journey he took would be just as exciting as his time inside the Yunlan Empire.

The story involves discovering precious medicinal herbs while exploring the Monster Mountain Range, being provoked by mercenaries in a small town, and being chased and ambushed...

The most outrageous thing is that after entering Golden Eagle City, they actually encountered the city's alchemist conference!

Okay, I missed the Alchemist Conference in the capital, but I'm making up for it now!

It can be said that Xiao Yan's journey was just as exciting as it was back in the Yunlan Empire.

The will of the giant sun was terrified, but it also made him more certain of his conjecture and his choice.

He wasn't wrong. With Xiao Yan's help, he'll definitely be able to acquire even more treasures!

Moreover, the further Xiao Yan went, the less time he spent with Xun'er... hehehe.

……

The matter between the Snake-Man Empire and the Cloud Mist Empire still needs to be dealt with gradually, after all, the Snake-Man Empire is an empire established by the Snake-Man.

In today's human-dominated society, such a nation is undoubtedly a thorn in the side, attracting the attention of countless people. However, with the Yunlan Empire and the Holy Rain Sect looking out for it, there shouldn't be too many problems.

In fact, Lin Ran won't be gone for long, at most less than a month.

After all, Lin Ran needed to warm Xun'er's meridians every month, and this was something Lin Ran had to do and couldn't refuse.

After all, no matter where Lin Ran is or what he is doing, as long as the time comes, Lin Ran will be forcibly brought back to Canaan Academy by Gu Yuan's power.

The power of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng is something Lin Ran simply cannot contend with. In other words, apart from those creatures deep within the underground magma of Canaan Academy, there is nothing in this world that can rival it!

After spending some time with the two women, Lin Ran did not stay in the Holy Rain Sect for long. Instead, he returned to Canaan Academy, leaving several jade slips for Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin. Afterward, Lin Ran left Canaan Academy to prepare to return to Zhongzhou.

High in the sky, Lin Ran floated in mid-air, a faint light shield emanating from his body, completely blocking the oncoming gale.

Lin Ran gazed at the Black Corner Region behind him, his expression filled with emotion.

He had been away for more than two years, but everything that happened in those two years was more exciting than the more than ten years he had spent in Zhongzhou.

Interact with the original characters, participate in the plot, and change the plot.

He refined the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill to perfect his Pure Yang Body and built the Holy Rain Sect to assemble his own team.

Breakthrough to Dou Zun!

Breakthrough to Rank 8 Alchemist!

They also encountered Cai Lin, Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin... and of course, Xun Er.

The wonders Lin Ran has witnessed in the past two years far surpass those of the past ten years in Zhongzhou!

"I do qualify to go back and report to my teachers," Lin Ran murmured, activating his battle qi and merging it into the space.

Although he was a Dou Zun, the Northwest Continent was far from the Central State. If he relied on his own flight, even with his pure Yang body and inexhaustible Dou Qi, it would still take him at least ten days to half a month to fly.

Therefore, Lin Ran's journey this time was to first arrive at Tianya City, and then use the space wormhole in the city to travel to Zhongzhou again.

A spatial wormhole is a connection between two points in space created by a Dou Zun powerhouse using spatial power. The distance between the Black Corner Region and the Central Continent would take at least half a year for even a Dou Zong powerhouse to cross, but if one travels through a spatial wormhole, it would only take a month.

However, constructing a space wormhole is quite difficult. Although a Dou Zun expert can make one, if there is only one Dou Zun expert, then at least a high-level Dou Zun is required, and it also takes a lot of time.

Moreover, after construction is completed, it must be maintained frequently, and the strength of the maintenance personnel must be at least at the Dou Zong level. Therefore, apart from places like Zhongzhou, space wormholes are almost never seen in other regions.

And the space wormhole in Tianya City is the only city within a thousand miles that has a space wormhole leading to Zhongzhou!

However, although building this spatial wormhole is troublesome, its value is extremely high.

As the saying goes, to get rich, build roads first. With space wormholes, people can travel countless distances to develop in foreign lands and seek resources.

Moreover, this kind of place can be opened to the public and rent can be charged.

Don't underestimate this fortune. Any power or family that possesses a spatial wormhole is incredibly wealthy. For example, Tianya City, which Lin Ran is going to, is so rich because it has a spatial wormhole!

For an ordinary person to travel from the Black Corner Region to Tianya City in the Tianqing Mountains would take at least half a month, but Lin Ran, being a Dou Zun powerhouse, was able to reach his destination in just half a day after identifying his goal, thanks to his speed in traversing space.

Space distorted, and after a few breaths, Lin Ran's figure appeared.

Looking down at the endless Tianqing Mountain Range, Lin Ran's gaze instantly locked onto the city hidden within the mountains.

Tianya City!
