Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 39 Alchemy, Begin!

The old doctor was shocked. Even if Xiao Yan had extraordinary talent and his cultivation speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, he could turn the ordinary into the extraordinary even when cultivating ordinary techniques.

But at this rate of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, it must be at least at the Xuan level!

A peach blossom flame could reach this level, or...?

Upon seeing Xiao Yan open his eyes, Yao Lao could no longer suppress his doubts and shock, and grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist.

Upon sensing the vast Dou Qi vortex that Xiao Yan now possessed, Yao Lao immediately determined the level of Xiao Yan's cultivation technique: "Profound Rank! It's Profound Rank! A low-level Profound Rank Burning Technique!"

Immediately afterward, Elder Yao exclaimed in astonishment, "Isn't it the fusion of the Xuanhuang Flame formed from that battle qi, and the fusion of a fifth-tier beast fire that allows the Burning Technique to evolve to the Xuan tier?"

The old doctor couldn't help but wonder if the predecessor who created the Burning Technique was playing a joke on his descendants? In fact, this magical Burning Technique only requires devouring beast fire to rapidly advance in rank?

But thinking about it, that doesn't make sense. What kind of energy does ordinary beast fire have to evolve?

"Teacher, I've already said this, this is already a new Burning Technique." Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly, stretched out his right palm, and with the flow of Dou Qi, a cluster of deep, mysterious yellow flames suddenly appeared. "Could the initial Burning Technique possibly cultivate into my Mysterious Yellow Flame?"

Yao Lao nodded slightly and released Xiao Yan's wrist. The Burning Technique had indeed undergone a great change in the hands of this little guy Xiao Yan.

"So, what is the advancement level of your cultivation technique?" Even as an eighth-grade alchemist, Yao Lao was completely baffled at this moment.

Xiao Yan got up and stretched lazily, his bones cracking and popping all over his body.

Feeling an indescribable energy and fulfillment coursing through his body, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Naturally, it has been improved again."

"The Burning Technique can fuse with different flames to advance, which is indeed very strange. However, the predecessor who created the Burning Technique may have reached the end of his life, and the Burning Technique he created is somewhat incongruous."

The old doctor agreed wholeheartedly, but it was almost impossible for someone at the low Yellow Rank to cultivate such a technique and withstand the pain of fusing with a strange fire.

Geniuses who have the potential to succeed in cultivation will find no shortage of advanced cultivation techniques to learn, and who would risk their life?

Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose: "If we can raise the initial level of the Burning Technique to the advanced Heaven Rank, and retain the effect of fusing with different flames to advance, breaking through the peak of the cultivation level in the Dou Qi Continent, I believe that such a cultivation technique would be a complete form of the Burning Technique."

"Since condensing the Xuanhuang Flame, this Burning Technique has become quite different from before. After three days of cultivation, I have gained profound insights and made some further changes. Now, the initial level of the Great Burning Technique is around the advanced Yellow Rank. It is reasonable to advance to the Profound Rank by fusing with a beast fire."

The old medicine doctor: "..."

What kind of heaven-defying cultivation technique and comprehension is this?

Even the wondrous Burning Technique has been significantly modified!

"So that's how it is." Although the old doctor's heart was in turmoil, he nodded calmly.

The real main event is the subsequent alchemy.

Having a powerful flame, if not properly controlled, can only be a disaster for alchemy.

Xiao Yan naturally knew that Yao Lao was faking it.

This teacher was somewhat old-fashioned and didn't want to lose face in front of his students.

The old apothecary said in a deep voice, "Take out the medicine cauldron and begin preparing to refine the medicine."

He tapped his finger on the storage ring, and the light on the pale red ring flickered slightly. Then, a red medicine cauldron about half a meter tall appeared out of thin air in the cave.

This medicine cauldron originally belonged to the Mittel family auction house in the city of Tran, but due to the limited number of alchemists, it has been sitting there for several months.

For the Mittel family, who prioritize profit above all else, not selling meant a loss.

Upon hearing that Wutan City had a need, they immediately escorted the goods over that very night.

The medicine cauldron is dark red in color, with a slight shimmer on it. At the bottom of the cauldron, there are two ferocious snake heads with wide-open mouths, forming two interconnected fire holes.

The hollows are winding and continuous, and the deeper you go, the smaller the diameter becomes, vaguely revealing what mysteries they hold.

At the top of the medicine cauldron, a giant snake coiled into the dark red lid. On the lid, there was a special hole, which was the place to put in the medicinal herbs.

The lid of the cauldron is dotted with fine holes made of ice silver, which serve to dissipate heat and prevent the furnace from exploding due to high temperatures.

In the middle of the medicine cauldron, there is a transparent mirror made of ice essence, from which one can clearly see everything happening inside while the medicine is being refined.

The surface of the medicine cauldron is painted with exquisite and lifelike carvings of mythical beasts, as if they were alive.

"Two cauldrons are not bad for a novice like you," the old medicine master said calmly, glancing at the snake mouth on the dark red cauldron.

His gaze shifted to Xiao Yan's face, and Yao Lao said seriously, "Since you have already obtained two kinds of flames, you have already surpassed the vast majority of alchemists from the very beginning."

It should be noted that only alchemists of the fourth rank or higher can summon substantial flames directly, bypassing the step of transformation using a cauldron.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly. With this medicine cauldron and the two types of flames he now controlled, his equipment had been greatly improved. Things that were previously impossible to achieve with the help of physicians could now be gradually made.

Yao Lao immediately poured cold water on Xiao Yan, saying, "Don't be too happy yet. Having a tangible flame ahead of time isn't necessarily a good thing."

"How so?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion. He had only been exposed to medical techniques and had not yet come into contact with actual information on alchemy. He was still a novice in alchemy.

The old medicine master explained, "To directly use substantial flames to refine medicine, you need to control a trace of wood attribute within your body to neutralize the violent factors of the flames."

The actual flames are far more violent than the flames transformed by the medicine cauldron, and without the assistance of the medicine cauldron, you will find it very difficult to find even a trace of the wood power within your body.

Simply put, your current approach to alchemy is like a child trying to swing a sledgehammer—not only will you not get anything done, but you might also hurt yourself.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, "So that's how it is."

The old man of medicine reached out and touched Xiao Yan's forehead, and a piece of information was transmitted into the latter's mind.

"This is a self-prepared healing medicine recipe. Try to refine it yourself. I will remind you to control the temperature of the flame and the extraction of medicinal ingredients."

After absorbing the extra information in his mind, Xiao Yan finally understood the intricate and complex nature of the alchemist's prescriptions.

"Blood-clotting powder, one blood-clotting herb, one vitality fruit, two poppy flowers..."

After memorizing the quantity of medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan's soul perception gradually invaded the medicine cauldron. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of pink flame was sent into the cauldron.
