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

Chapter 50 The Puppet Body of the Old Man of Medicine, Sudden Enlightenment of the Three Thousand Burning Flames

His combat skills training had just begun when, despite his extraordinary comprehension, it came to an abrupt halt.

Having completed Yao Lao's training task with the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler, Xiao Yan began his own cultivation.

After transforming the cave into a comfortable cultivation space, Xiao Yan took out the materials he had purchased from the Mittel Auction House from his storage ring.

The old apothecary asked in confusion, "Why are you making so many lumps of iron?"

"Teacher, you don't think I've been making low-level things like blood-clotting powder for the Mittel Auction House for a long time, do you? I'm planning to make some puppets to do this kind of low-level, repetitive work."

Xiao Yan released his Xuanhuang Flame Dou Qi, burning the materials in his hand while simultaneously drawing runes.

At this moment, Yao Lao remembered some iron puppet figures that Xiao Yan had made when he was a child.

"From those tiny things the size of a palm to a large puppet for refining pills, that's quite a leap, isn't it?"

"If any puppet could be used to refine pills, then alchemists would be worthless."

Xiao Yan shrugged: "The refining of Blood Clotting Powder is roughly divided into two steps: first, calcining the medicinal materials to temper their medicinal power, and second, fusing the medicinal power. The whole process does not need to be done in one go."

"It is indeed difficult for one puppet to complete this alchemy process, but if there are more puppets, it will be much simpler."

Glancing at Yao Lao floating in mid-air, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Teacher, why don't I do one too? It's kind of creepy to always be floating around like a ghost."

"Is that how you talk to your teacher?" Yao Lao said with a laugh, and then said leisurely, "Don't look down on me just because I'm only a soul now and my strength is less than two or three tenths of what it was at its peak. I can still walk around freely in the Jia Ma Empire without any problem."

"Keep that lump of iron in your hand for making those alchemy puppets," Yao Lao shook his head.

As an eighth-grade alchemist, he refused to believe that the art of alchemy could be controlled by a puppet.

If it's just refining low-level blood-clotting powder, that's fine. But if they keep improving and the quality of the pills they refine gets higher and higher, then how will alchemists survive?

Xiao Yan's dark eyes focused intently on smelting the ore, drawing runes, and then he began assembling it, completing the entire process in one go.

It took more than two days for Xiao Yan's alchemy puppet team to be fully assembled.

The team has a total of five puppets.

One of them was responsible for collecting the refined medicinal liquid and the successfully made blood-clotting powder, another was responsible for fusing the medicinal liquid, and the other three were responsible for calcining the medicinal materials.

They look extremely similar.

It is over a meter tall, with fire and wood attribute magic cores mounted on its chest.

The fire-attribute magic core is of the second tier, while the wood-attribute magic core is only of the first tier, resembling a pure iron man with numerous engravings on its surface.

Upon seeing the finished product, the old medicine master was greatly surprised and said with great interest, "Let's try refining a batch of Blood Clotting Powder."

"Teacher, if I succeed, you'll have to accept a puppet body," Xiao Yan chuckled.

Looking at the puppet, which resembled a black skeleton, Yao Lao shook his head: "Your puppet is too ugly. It would be more appealing if it were crafted to be more beautiful."

"What's prepared for the teacher is naturally completely different from these alchemy puppets, guaranteed to be exquisite." Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together.

The old apothecary sensed a conspiracy and changed the subject, saying, "That will only happen if you successfully create this medicine-refining puppet."

"Just you wait and see."

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers and immediately took out a medicine cauldron, a dose of blood-clotting powder ingredients, and dozens of jade bottles, then clasped his hands together.

"Alchemy Puppet, activate!"

The demon core suddenly flashed, and the energy contained within it began to flow along the runes engraved on its body, instantly activating the five puppets.

After scanning the cave and detecting the medicinal herbs and the medicine cauldron, they immediately began their orderly work.

As the puppet was being refined with the red light flowing around it, Yao Lao's eyes narrowed suddenly as the Blood Coagulation Powder was about to be fully fused.

"By using runes of different wavelengths to create flames of different temperatures, as long as the energy follows the flow of the runes, everything they refine will be of perfect quality every time."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. Low-level alchemy is really just a matter of running a program.

The reason why alchemists of Liu Xi's rank could barely supply the needs of the previous market was because...

It's precisely because once you master it, it's incredibly easy.

As the blood-clotting powder was poured into the jade bottle, Yao Lao had no choice but to admit that Xiao Yan had succeeded again.

These alchemy puppets work in an orderly manner, and the blood-clotting powder they produce is perfect. They are simply god-level money-making machines!

Taking out the blood-clotting powder ingredients given by the Mittel Auction House, and letting the alchemy puppet continue working, Xiao Yan got up, stretched, and took off the Bone Flame Ring from his hand.

"Teacher, you have to honor your bet. I'll get you a puppet body first."

"Make it more refined." The old apothecary returned to the Bone Inflammation Ring, maintaining his last bit of stubbornness.

Xiao Yan tapped the storage ring in his hand, took out an exquisite puppet, and with a flick of his finger, put the Bone Flame Ring into the puppet's stomach.

"Teacher, try releasing your soul power."

The puppet trembled slightly, its eyes releasing a chilling white light. The old man moved his new body a little.

"I didn't expect your puppetry skills to be so good. It feels just like a real body."

The old doctor nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterward, the old apothecary paused, puzzled, and said, "But why does something feel a little off?"

In the blink of an eye, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame instantly condensed into a mirror in front of him.

Looking at the exquisite hummingbird puppet in the mirror, Yao Lao was completely stunned.

A moment later, Yao Lao flew into the air and pecked at Xiao Yan fiercely: "This is the puppet body you prepared for your teacher?!"

"Didn't you want something exquisite? Every feather on this puppet was carefully crafted by me. It's definitely the most exquisite puppet I've ever made," Xiao Yan said, rubbing his head with a laugh.

Yao Lao gently placed his hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder and sighed, "Alright, let's leave it at that. If he really had a human body now, it might be a bit too conspicuous."

"You rest well in the cave, I need to go out for some fresh air." With a flap of his wings, Yao Lao flew out of the cave.

Looking at the starry sky, Xiao Yan rubbed his temples. Creating puppets was no easy task.

Fortunately, he is now quite powerful, otherwise he might have actually died suddenly.

At this moment, Xiao Yan blinked and suddenly looked up at the starry sky.

"Power of the Stars, Three Thousand Blazing Flames, Undying Body!"

A sudden flash of inspiration caused Xiao Yan's thoughts to flow like a spring.

Due to various limitations, the alchemy puppets had to complete the process in stages when refining low-level substances like blood-clotting powder.

Shouldn't there be a transitional process in such a huge undertaking as enlightenment about a different kind of fire?

Replicating Xuanhuangyan's enlightenment is somewhat difficult.

Not every strange fire has the effect of promoting gentle cultivation.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, bathed in the light of the starry sky, and began to comprehend.

Starting with Burning Technique 2.0, the cultivation of Burning Technique has become completely different.

The biggest difference is that Xiao Yan's fire-attribute fighting spirit needs to evolve to the level of a different kind of fire.

Moreover, through continuous growth, it reaches the level of Emperor Flame, and eventually surpasses the level of Emperor Flame.

The Ranking of Strange Flames contains twenty-two different flames, each with its own unique abilities. It would be a waste to fuse them into the Emperor Flame.

Xiao Yan himself was destined to become Emperor Flame, preserving twenty-two different flames.

Secondly, the advancement of cultivation techniques has become more diverse.

Besides fusing beast fire and strange fire to upgrade techniques, one's own enlightenment about techniques and the creation of new techniques are also ways to upgrade.

Finally, Xiao Yan had one more idea regarding the twenty-two different kinds of flames that had been preserved—

Twenty-two different flames began cultivation, giving birth to fire spirits, each starting to grow.

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was originally just a weak strange fire. He cultivated the Burning Technique and became a generation of Dou Di.

Xiao Yan had absolute confidence in his extraordinary comprehension.

With a unique fire combined with a suitable cultivation technique, one's achievements will be no less than those of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

However, there has been no breakthrough yet.

After flying out of the cave, given Yao Lao's temperament, he naturally wouldn't allow himself to breathe.

Using his spatial powers, Yao Lao's figure vanished from the valley and returned to the Xiao family in an instant.

After discerning his location, and relying on his exquisite physique, Yao Lao easily slipped through a hole in a rockery, his body continuing to plunge downwards until he arrived at a secret cultivation spot known to very few members of the Xiao family.

After his brush with death, Xiao Lin completely abandoned the idea of ​​leading his family to rise again.

He stayed in his ancestral homeland of Utan and didn't go anywhere else.

Because he wanted to survive as long as possible, to become the Xiao family's last trump card, and to ensure the future growth of his genius grandson.

Eight years later, Xiao Lin, who already had good aptitude, made great progress in his cultivation and became a three-star Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Who!" Like a lion just awakened, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and azure battle qi condensed on his cheeks, forming a ferocious lion's head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your perception isn't bad, it's just that the cultivation method you're using is holding you back," the old doctor pondered.

Upon seeing the talking bird, Xiao Lin was initially taken aback, but then suddenly realized the difference between them and politely asked, "Who are you, senior?"

"You have a good grandson, and your luck isn't too bad either." The old man patted his wings, and three beams of light landed in front of Xiao Lin.

Upon seeing the three objects in front of him, Xiao Lin gasped.

"High-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, Heavenly Gang Wind Rift Technique, High-level Earth-rank combat skill, Stormy Dimension; Dou Huang cultivation and breakthrough experience."

Any one of these three items would be a treasure that countless powerful individuals would fight tooth and nail to acquire, not just in the Gama Empire, but throughout the entire Northwest region!

"Is the old gentleman Yan'er's teacher?" Xiao Lin did not touch the three items, but respectfully stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

The old doctor smiled and said, "Your daughter-in-law must have told you. Your Xiao family has certainly raised a fine disciple for me."

"She has good aptitude and a suitable cultivation method, which puts her far ahead of you. Even in the entire Jia Ma Empire, it would be difficult to find anyone who can rival her."

Xiao Lin nodded with a hint of shame. In fact, the position of the head of the Xiao family had been reassigned several years ago.

However, the Xiao family is very low-key these days, and not many people know about them.

The old doctor said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yan cannot stay in this small border town forever. Sooner or later, he will leave the Jia Ma Empire. The situation on the continent is changing rapidly. Becoming my disciple means that he is destined to face many powerful enemies."

There's still a long period of peace ahead. If you cultivate diligently, you can become an asset to him in the future. I believe that with your talent and my help, you'll be able to break through to become a Dou Zong powerhouse within the next three or four years.

Xiao Lin said solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Xiao Lin did not complain or hate Yao Lao for bringing great trouble to the Xiao family. Instead, he seriously studied the cultivation technique.

Xiao Lin was well aware that his grandson was exceptionally talented, and while the Xiao family could protect him in the Jia Ma Empire, they would never provide him with rare cultivation resources.

The appearance of the old doctor perfectly filled this gap.

Seeing Xiao Lin's focused expression, Yao Lao slowly nodded, turned around and flew out of the underground cultivation room, his mood slightly heavy.

If Xiao Yan were just an ordinary genius, even if he were to be nourished with Dou Qi for another three years, his soul power would not recover much.

There are many things that, even if he wanted to do them, he simply didn't have the ability to.

However, Xiao Yan was exceptionally gifted, and the continuous nourishment of pure Dou Qi over seven years allowed his soul power to recover to its peak level.

Before returning to Zhongzhou, he will inevitably cultivate a certain amount of power.

Even a three-year-old child in Zhongzhou knows the division of power in Zhongzhou: one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions.

Compared to the Soul Palace, the Starfall Pavilion is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

Relying on Feng Xian and that old fellow can only hold out for a while. Only by giving Xiao Yan as much cultivation time as possible can we protect the Starfall Pavilion and defeat the Soul Palace.

Under the glow of the stars, Xiao Yan gradually became aware of the special nature of the starlight.

[With your years of cultivation experience and extraordinary soul perception, you have had an epiphany; you have comprehended the secret technique, the "Three Thousand Stars Technique."]

[Three Thousand Stars Technique: Absorb the power of stars to nourish the body, and finally condense the Three Thousand Blazing Flames within the battle vortex.]

Xiao Yan originally thought that his second enlightenment would be the Yin-Yang Twin Flames or the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, but unexpectedly, a sudden flash of inspiration led him to realize the secret technique to enhance the Xuanhuang Flame Battle Qi with the effect of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan changed his hand seals, and after his body trembled slightly, wisps of silver light condensed from the air and flowed into his body.

These silver specks are the concentrated power of the stars, which seeped into Xiao Yan's body through his pores.

When Xiao Yan first absorbed the power of the stars, he felt an energy that was even gentler than the fighting spirit.

The power of the stars flowed through his meridians, and the fatigue from forging the puppet for many days was almost completely swept away after the power of the stars, along with the secret technique, circulated for a full cycle.

No wonder fusing with the Three Thousand Burning Flames grants one an 'immortal body'!!!
