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

Chapter 60 Magic Crystal Bullet

Reaching for the damp undergarment beside the bathtub, Little Fairy Doctor tied the strap behind her neck before saying, "Aren't you going to find your teacher?"

Xiao Yan shrugged: "I was just lying to those two disrespectful old men. Even if I found my teacher, he wouldn't bother with something so trivial."

"Then what about the things you need? I heard from that old man that Gutt is not an easy person to talk to," Little Fairy Doctor said nervously.

"I'll have to figure it out myself. You stay here and cultivate well. If you get hungry, ask for some food. I need to prepare for tomorrow's exchange, otherwise I'll have to sell myself as a live-in son-in-law." Xiao Yan smiled and shrugged.

Watching Xiao Yan's retreating figure, Little Fairy Doctor pursed her jade lips. Xiao Yan was good in every other way, but he was just too playful.

Back in his room, Yao Lao stared intently at Xiao Yan, a strange, human-like smile playing on the face of his puppet bird.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?"

The old doctor chuckled: "You'd better be careful, kid. If you mess things up later, none of these girls will be easy to deal with."

Xiao Yan sat down at the table, tapped his fingers on his storage ring, and took out three second-tier magic cores.

"Is this all you're going to use for this trade?" The old apothecary glanced at the items on the table. "Even if this magic core can unleash extraordinary power after you've refined it, it's still far inferior to the value of a rare treasure like the Ice Spirit Cold Spring."

"Of course there can't be just this much." Xiao Yan took out three small iron puppets from his storage ring and arranged them neatly.

"That's it?" The old apothecary glanced at it. "I remember this is a toy from when I was a kid. If you can fool me with this, then it's truly a miracle."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly: "When trading with someone like Gutt, it's not about the intrinsic value of the item, but rather how much it's worth in his eyes. Since Gutt is so fond of collecting, we naturally have to give him something different."

"I hope you're right." The old apothecary had no experience with this; back then, it was always others who begged him to accept rare and precious herbs.

Holding a second-tier fire-attribute magic core, Xiao Yan focused his mind to draw runes on it and refine a fireball.

After crafting a fireball, Xiao Yan sat quietly on the table, not making any other movements for a moment, and began to think deeply.

After a long while...

[Through your experience in crafting fireballs and using magic cores, you've had an epiphany; you've grasped the method for creating magic crystal bullets.]

The Magic Crystal Bullet is made by using battle aura to communicate with the energy within the magic core, drawing runes, and guiding the raging energy of the magic core. Creating a Magic Crystal Bullet requires extremely high levels of soul power and battle aura quality; otherwise, the user will be harmed before the enemy is even attacked.

Once crafted, the magic crystal bullet, when activated, will produce different effects depending on its attributes.

[Note: Crafting magic cores of the same attribute as yourself is much easier.]

After slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Xiao Yan began the next stage of the production process.

Originally, with his abilities, he could only utilize fire-attribute magic cores.

However, he can now use magic cores to create puppets that can be used in battle, and his level of magic core utilization has greatly improved.

After a little serious thought, the method for refining magic cores of other attributes naturally became a smooth and successful enlightenment.

The next morning, Xiao Yan put the things he had prepared into his storage ring and immediately went to the Alchemist Guild to find Otto, explaining that he was ready to trade with Gutt.

After navigating through a dozen or so streets in Blackrock City that made one's head spin, they finally stopped in front of a strange building in a secluded corner of the south of the city.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose. This place would be really hard to find without someone to guide you.

"Little one, I must remind you again, this Gu Te is the elder brother of Dan Wang Gu He. That's why he has so many coveted treasures and is still safe and sound. So, be prepared to bleed a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. On the way here, Otto had already introduced a lot of information about Gutt.

Otto waved to Xiao Yan, took two steps forward, and pushed open the door.

However, before anyone could get close, a fierce burst of energy, carrying a cloud of black powder, erupted from inside the room.

Otto was prepared. With a sudden flick of his sleeve, an even more ferocious force appeared out of thin air, sending all the black powder flying back.

Otto glanced at the dirty and messy room and clapped his hands: "That old guy always likes to play these pranks. Although that black powder wasn't enough to poison you, it would make your skin itch terribly if it got on it."

After overcoming numerous obstacles along the way, the two finally reached the top floor of the building and stopped in front of a wooden door.

Otto vented all his anger on the wooden door, kicking it away.

With a loud bang, the wooden door shattered into several pieces.

"You old bastard, you don't study proper medicine making, you just play around with these shady things."

"My door!" A disheveled old man jogged out angrily.

"You old rascal, you... you brought other people with you!" Gutt's cursing face suddenly turned cautious.

Upon entering Gu Te's room, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a look at the rare and precious herbs displayed there.

"Fireheart Horse Chestnut! Judging by its age, it's at least a hundred years old."

"Hey kid, what are you looking at!" Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Gu Te hurriedly jumped over and said fiercely, "Don't even think about messing with my treasure."

"A treasure?" Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "They're just a bunch of inanimate objects, not worthy of being called a real treasure."

"What?!" Gu Te was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring. Even Dan Wang Gu He would be envious of any one of his items, and this kid actually said it wasn't a treasure!

"Xiao Yan is right. Even the best things are just decorations in your hands, old man. Stop treasuring them like that." Otto rolled his eyes and asked directly, "Do you have any Ice Spirit Cold Spring here?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Te was taken aback. He had only recently acquired a small bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and given his personality, he would never speak carelessly without playing with it for two or three years.

How did that old bastard Otto find us so quickly by smelling the scent?

After only a moment of surprise, Gu Te shook his head repeatedly: "What do you take this for? The Ice Spirit Cold Spring is extremely rare. Even if an ordinary person were lucky enough to see it, without proper preservation methods, they could only stare helplessly."

"You brought this arrogant brat here, do you perhaps have some rare treasure to sell to me?" Gu Te's eyes gleamed slightly as he looked at Xiao Yan's alchemist robes.

A young second-grade alchemist, his talent seems to be even stronger than that of the Pill King Gu He.

For a moment, Gu Te did not underestimate Xiao Yan.

"If you can come up with something better, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said."
