Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking...

With a flick of the finger, three streaks of light suddenly appeared at the fingertip and disappeared into the grass on the edge of the cliff.

"Use your soul perception to track their movements and see how powerful your soul perception is now."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

With eyes half-closed, her hair moved without any wind.

Within moments, the light beneath the three dragon blood grasses on the right shone first.

Immediately afterwards, a faint light appeared in the thicket of thorns a hundred meters away.

"Found it!"

Xiao Yi took the lead and used his soul power to find the three beams of light released by Yao Lao.

Although Xiao Yan was a bit slower, he still accurately detected the light.

Seeing this, the old apothecary nodded in satisfaction.

Judging from Yao Lao's reaction, it is clear that Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan's soul perception abilities meet the requirements for alchemy.

The next second, three Star Spirit Grasses slid out from Yao Lao's sleeve.

The pearly white leaves shimmered with a pearly luster in the twilight.

"Now, tell me which plant absorbed the moonlight."

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking...

Xiao Yan was the first to approach, his nose almost touching the grass blades, but apart from a faint, bitter smell, he found nothing else.

The moment Xiao Yi closed his eyes, his soul power seeped into the herbs like spider silk, and he suddenly discovered silver light spots flowing between the veins of one of the Star Spirit Grasses.

"This one."

Xiao Yi lightly tapped his fingertip, and the Star Spirit Grass suddenly trembled violently, the dewdrops condensed on its leaves splashing into a fine rain of light.

Yao Chen paused slightly as he stroked his beard, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

A soul that can resonate with medicinal herbs!

He had not seen it for hundreds of years.

Add to that the perfectly balanced fire and wood battle qi, and isn't he a pure genius at alchemy?

Sensing the old doctor's shocked expression, Xiao Xuan, who was inside Xiao Yi's storage ring, reappeared.

He nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of the descendant I chose, this soul talent is comparable to mine back then!"

The old apothecary smiled broadly: "Senior, this child's future is truly limitless!"

Xiao Xuan nodded, then looked at Yao Lao and said:

"Master Medicine, do you possess any elixirs that can improve a cultivator's physical strength during cultivation...?"

"Although this kid has good talent, he hasn't received the nourishment of elixirs since childhood, so his physique is somewhat lacking..."

Upon hearing this, the old doctor nodded quickly.

"Perfect timing! I have a fourth-grade pill formula that can help improve the physique and meridians of cultivators at the Dou Zhe level..."

Immediately, a scroll flew out from the old doctor's sleeve.

"A fourth-grade elixir!?"

Upon hearing the words "fourth rank," both Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes.

After all, they grew up in the Xiao family, a small place like Wutan City. For them, a fourth-grade pill was considered a high-grade pill.

Xiao Xuan nodded: "Fourth rank, that's just right..."

After all, the highest grade of pills that a fighter can take is only grade four. Otherwise, if the medicinal power is too great, there is a high possibility that the body will not be able to absorb it and will explode.

"A fourth-grade elixir: the Meridian Opening Spirit Pill!"

"This is the prescription. As long as the medicinal materials are gathered, I can refine it at any time..."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the prescription slid into Xiao Yi's hand.

The text above it reads:

[Meridian-Opening Spirit Pill, Mid-Grade 4.]

[Medicinal herbs: Purple Salvia miltiorrhiza, Meridian-Clearing Vine, Condensing Flower (over 100 years old), Tier 2 Magical Beast Core]

Looking at the ingredients on the pill formula, both Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan unconsciously swallowed.

Because the medicinal herbs on this list are not simple or cheap, it would be quite difficult for the two of them to obtain them.

In fact, compared to that, the second-tier beast cores are actually a simple material.

As long as he goes to the Monster Mountain Range, with Xiao Xuan's strength, he can get the beast core with just a breath.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yi put the pill formula away.

Xiao Xuan then said in a deep voice:

"Kid, remember to gather all the medicinal herbs as soon as possible!"

Having said that, he slightly turned his head to look at the old medicine master and said:

"Then I'll have to trouble Venerable Medicine..."

The old apothecary bowed slightly: "Senior, you flatter me. It was nothing at all..."

Xiao Xuan reappeared and looked at Xiao Yi, saying:

"Little one, don't forget to collect two portions when you're gathering medicinal herbs!"

"Xiao Yan's situation is similar to yours; he will also need this pill when he reaches the Dou Zhe stage..."

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xiao Xuan, as expected of someone who has served as a clan leader, knows how to treat everyone fairly.

……

March flies by, and more than half of it has already passed.

There is only a month and a half left until the coming-of-age ceremony.

During this period, Xiao Yi spent his days learning medicine-making techniques from Yao Lao, and his nights practicing martial arts and familiarizing himself with combat skills under Xiao Xuan's guidance.

I was so busy that I couldn't find the time, so the matter of collecting medicinal herbs was temporarily put on hold.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony, the Xiao family had another assessment.

Only those with a strength of at least the seventh level of Dou Qi can enter the Dou Qi Pavilion to select cultivation techniques for further study after their coming-of-age ceremony.

Those below the seventh level of Dou Qi lose their cultivation qualifications after coming-of-age ceremony and can only engage in business in the Xiao family's industries.

Xiao Yi planned to gather all the medicinal herbs on the day of the assessment.

Today is the assessment day.

"Brother Xiao Yi, are you there?"

Xun'er's clear voice rang out outside Xiao Yi's house.

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, tidied up briefly, and then opened the door.

"Xun'er, so early?"

Xiao Yi stretched and said softly.

Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly: "Today is the last assessment before the coming-of-age ceremony, so of course I have to get up early..."

Xiao Yi looked Xiao Xun'er up and down, then gently patted her head and said, "Now that you've advanced to the Dou Zhe level, are you still worried about failing this assessment?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er adorably shrugged: "Xun'er just fought..."

"But Brother Xiao Yi has grown from the first stage of Dou Qi to his current strength in less than a year!"

"Such terrifying cultivation talent, I'm afraid no one in the entire Wutan City can compare to it..."

Xiao Yi smiled slightly and nodded.

"Let's go, Nizi..."

"Xiao Yan is already waiting for us at the training ground..."

Xiao Xun'er: "How is Brother Xiao Yan doing now? I haven't seen him for so long..."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, that kid's talent isn't bad either... passing this assessment shouldn't be a problem..."

……

The huge bluestone training ground was where almost all of the younger generation of the Xiao family gathered.

Among the crowd, Xiao Yan stood out.

Xiao Yan's eyes were cold and stern as he stared intently at the testing stone tablet in the center of the training ground.

I wonder what he's thinking.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Xun'er walked slowly over.

He spotted Xiao Yan in the crowd at a glance.

"That kid, he's really early!"

Xiao Yi murmured something and then led Xun'er toward Xiao Yan.

When Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yi and the other person, his previously extremely serious expression softened into a smile.

"Brother Yi, you've finally arrived!"

Xiao Yi patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, you'll prove everyone wrong today!"
