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

Chapter 29 Even Han Feng, one in a million, is not as good as this one.

Seeing Xiao Yi's rather shocked expression, Yao Lao nodded without saying a word.

Xiao Xuan glared at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice, "What, you're backing down over a mere fourth-grade pill?"

"Although I am not a professional alchemist, I can still concoct low-grade pills like fourth-grade pills by hand!"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Xuan, who was suspended in the air, and smiled helplessly: "Ancestor, what level are you and what level am I?"

"How could a mere boy possibly compare to you?"

Xiao Yi immediately turned to Yao Lao and said, "Venerable Yao, I haven't been learning alchemy from you for very long, and now you're asking me to refine a fourth-grade pill? I'm afraid these medicinal herbs will be wasted—"

"These medicinal herbs aren't cheap—"

But the old apothecary simply waved his hand and said, "It's alright, practice with confidence!"

"Just a few medicinal herbs—"

Immediately, Yao Lao noticed the slightly expectant look in Xiao Yan's eyes and said softly, "If Xiao Yan weren't still a Dou Zhe, these two Meridian Opening Spirit Pills should actually be given to you two for practice—"

"Alright—let me demonstrate first—"

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, a black alchemy furnace appeared out of thin air.

The Black Demon Cauldron is ranked eighth on the Heavenly Cauldron List!

Upon seeing the Black Demon Cauldron, Xiao Xuan nodded: "As expected of the Medicine Venerable, this alchemy furnace is no ordinary vessel—"

Upon hearing this, the old physician smiled slightly: "Senior, you flatter me. This cauldron is called the Heavenly Demon Cauldron. I obtained it by chance when I was traveling across the continent."

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, he lightly tapped his fingertip.

As if summoned, the meridian vine slowly rose and entered the Black Demon Cauldron.

Then, the old doctor flicked his fingertips again, and a pale white flame flowed from his fingertips.

The next second, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame meandered along the lines on the old doctor's fingertips, eventually probing into the bottom of the furnace.

Driven by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the emerald green medicinal juice of the [Meridian-Opening Vine] was forced to seep out in strands, and under the special properties of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, it condensed into strands of tough, thread-like medicinal energy.

"This is the first step. The most important aspect of the Meridian Opening Spirit Pill is opening the meridians, and the first step is to condense the medicinal essence of the Meridian Opening Vine—"

"The next step is to add purple salvia miltiorrhiza to soften the medicinal power of the 'Tongmai Teng' (a type of herb)."

While refining the pills, the old apothecary also patiently explained the process to Xiao Yi and his companion.

The purple ginseng was refined instantly upon entering the medicine cauldron, merging with the medicinal energy condensed from the meridian-opening vine.

This step is also the most crucial step in refining the Qi-clearing and Spirit-infused Pill.

"The final step: a flower formed from a century-old medicinal herb, a second-tier beast core!"

"Integrate these two elements—"

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, the condensed flower and beast core slowly flew away, heading towards the alchemy furnace.

Especially when that flower, which has been gathered for a hundred years, bursts open, it leaves a faint fragrance in the air.

The moment the two entered the alchemy furnace, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire suddenly changed, transforming from a fierce burning to a gentle enveloping sensation.

The condensed flower and the beast core flower are slowly refined in the heart of the fire.

The golden petals slowly melted in the emerald flames, turning into a wisp of golden mist that intertwined with the medicinal energy of the meridian-opening vine, creating a sense of mutual nourishment.

"The way to control fire lies in combining firmness and gentleness."

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan out of the corner of his eye, his hand turning slightly.

The Bone Spirit Cold Fire contracted, twisting the mixed medicinal energy into a spiral shape.

The furnace body began to vibrate slightly, the ancient cinnabar patterns on the surface glowed faintly, and a faint crackling sound could be heard.

"This is a sign that the medicinal power is becoming more concentrated after being quenched by cold fire."

Suddenly, the old apothecary gave a low shout, bringing his two fingers together and pointing forward: "Condense!"

The Bone Spirit Cold Fire surged violently, then subsided in an instant. The medicinal energy inside the furnace seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand, instantly coalescing into a round pill.

The pill is pale blue with a thin layer of golden halo on its surface. Upon closer inspection, fine veins can be seen slowly wriggling within it. Each wriggling seems to be drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy, which is the unique spiritual energy of the Meridian Opening Spiritual Energy Pill.

The furnace lid popped open on its own, and a pill carrying a wisp of cold air leaped out. The old apothecary flicked his finger, and the pill gently jumped into his palm.

"Although the Meridian Opening Spirit Pill is a fourth-grade pill, its refining process is actually quite simple—"

"The only thing to be careful about is controlling the heat when finally fusing and condensing the flower and the beast core—"

As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, the pill in his hand slowly came into Xiao Yi's hand under the control of his soul power.

Feeling the fragrance emanating from the fourth-grade pill in his palm, Xiao Yi couldn't resist wanting to eat it right now.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to speak, an invisible force took the pill out of his palm.

"Don't be in such a hurry, kid!"

"You still have a mission! Here are some medicinal herbs, start refining the pills! You have pills now, but Xiao Yan doesn't even have one yet."

'

Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi and said softly.

Xiao Yi clicked his tongue and said, "Ancestor, Xiao Yan hasn't reached the Dou Zhe level yet. It's not too late to refine it for him when he does."

Xiao Xuan: "It's always better to prepare the pills in advance—"

Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "Ancestor, you need a cauldron to refine medicine, and I don't have one either—"

As Xiao Yi finished speaking, the old apothecary slowly tossed out a bronze medicine cauldron and said in a deep voice, "Here you go. A medicine cauldron isn't that important in the process of refining medicine. Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you won't even need one!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yi still tried to refuse: "Where's the fire? I don't have any strange fire—"

Xiao Xuan glared fiercely at Xiao Yi: "Was your fire-attribute battle qi wasted? Of all those alchemists, how many possess a different kind of fire?"

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Yao Lao slowly said in a deep voice, "When alchemists first learned to refine medicine, they used battle qi transformed into flames. Moreover, I see that you have a heart fire condensed deep within your soul, which is also used for refining medicine—"

Looking at the two floating souls beside him, Xiao Yi knew very well that he had to practice this medicine today.

Left with no other option, Xiao Yi had to sit cross-legged on the spot, just as Yao Lao had demonstrated.

The first step is to condense the medicinal energy from the Tongmai Teng (通脉藤).

As soon as Xiao Yi threw the Meridian Opening Vine into the bronze cauldron, he immediately activated his internal fighting spirit, turning it into flames that continuously burned the Meridian Opening Vine.

Because Xiao Yi's flames contained the heart fire condensed from the technique [Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique], they were more powerful than flames condensed from ordinary battle qi.

Although his speed was not as fast as Yao Lao's, Xiao Yi still managed to condense it into wisps of medicinal energy.

Seeing this, both Xiao Xuan and Yao Lao nodded in agreement.

The old doctor, in particular, was shocked.

Seeing Xiao Yi's talent, Yao Lao couldn't help but think of his "good disciple" whom he regarded as his own son.

Han Feng!

In the eyes of the old medicine master, Han Feng's talent for alchemy was one in a million.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi's talent was even more terrifying than Han Feng's!
