Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 102 Life-Devouring Pill

"you!"

Hu Qian pointed at his granddaughter, so angry that he could hardly breathe. He had just recommended his granddaughter to Xiao Jue, and now she had caused this scene.

Xiao Jue asked curiously, "Are you close to them?"

"Who are you?" Hu Jia frowned and said, "Of course, three stunning beauties. It's just that you haven't seen them before. Otherwise, with Xiao Yu's legs, Xue Ni's breasts, and Xiao Mei's delicate temperament, plus Yao Yue who just arrived at Canaan Academy, her petite and adorable appearance would definitely... oh my!"

"What are you doing, old man?" Hu Jia glared at Hu Qian, holding her head. Why did he suddenly come over and pat her on the head?

Hu Qian said irritably, "Show some respect to Dean Xiao Jue. He is Yao Yue's teacher and a seventh-grade alchemist."

Hu Jia exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! How could the dean look like this? He's more beautiful than a woman! Shouldn't he be a decrepit old man?"

"Hu Gan, it's alright." Xiao Jue waved his hand with a smile and said, "I plan to take them directly to the inner academy. If you don't have to participate in the inner academy selection competition, I can take you along too."

Hu Jia's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Can I live with them?"

"They're going to live with me," Xiao Jue chuckled. "If you'd like, you can come along too."

Hu Jia frowned. She knew that Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and Xue Ni had all been won over by the same jerk, but there weren't many girls as pretty as Xiao Jue at Canaan Academy. It seemed that Xiao Jue was the one.

However, thinking of Yaoyue, she is Xiao Jue's disciple, so it's impossible for anything else to happen. Isn't this leaving me with a chance?

Hu Jia said, "No problem, but I want to share a room with Yao Yue."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded, looked at Hu Qian who looked helpless, and smiled, "I'll go find Xiao Yan first. If they arrive, have them wait here for me."

In order to show off his prowess in front of others, Xiao Jue directly used the Lesser Void Step. With the blessing of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, his figure flashed and appeared outside the window. He then spread his dragon wings and flew away.

……

There were no classes in the outer courtyard at the moment, and Xiao Yan was at the alchemy department. As an alchemist, he was quite interested in the alchemy department, but he was also full of helplessness towards this Elder Huo.

"Uncle-Master, just tell me what you need. As long as it's a medicinal herb I can get, I'll give it to you."

Seeing the white-haired Elder Huo patting his chest and calling him his senior uncle, Xiao Yan really didn't know where Xiao Jue had gotten such an outstanding disciple.

Seeing this, Xiao Jue's lips twitched, and he descended from the sky to stand in front of them.

"Master!" Elder Huo bowed respectfully and handed a scroll to Xiao Jue. "This is a gift from your disciple to express my gratitude for your master's acceptance of me as your disciple."

Xiao Jue looked slightly surprised, nodded, and said, "Then I'll accept it."

This scroll contains an eighth-grade pill formula, probably from some pill sect. Mang Qianchi gave it to Elder Huo, but he had no use for it, so he offered it to Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue didn't have the recipe for this pill either. After all, the Dou Qi Continent was incredibly vast, and it was impossible for a ninth-grade alchemist to collect all the recipes.

The old apothecary's voice rang in the ears of the Xiao family, "This pill formula should have been lost by the Medicine Clan. The Hundred Flower Pill... is an extremely profound pill formula."

Xiao Jue said to Elder Huo, "Come to the inner courtyard in half a month, and I will guide you in alchemy then."

"Disciple bows in gratitude to revered master!"

Xiao Jue sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Luckily, he didn't have the habit of touching his nose, otherwise, if he spent more time with Elder Huo, his nose would be as shiny and oily as Xiao Yan's.

"Just call me Dean from now on."

"Your disciple obeys."

Xiao Jue transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan, telling him that he had taken Xiao Yu and the others directly to the inner courtyard, and asked him to bring Xiao Ning with him. He then tossed the Bone Flame Ring to Xiao Yan.

With Elder Huo here, Xiao Jue didn't plan to say anything more to Xiao Yan. Anyway, the Three Thousand Thunderbolts, Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, and Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill that he planned to give to Xiao Yan were all stored in the Bone Flame Ring, and he could just have Elder Yao give them to him later.

After waving to Xiao Yan and sending him a telepathic message asking him to take care of Xiao Ning, Xiao Jue left.

……

Back in Hu Qian's office, Xiao Jue saw Hu Jia embracing Yao Yue rather inappropriately. When he saw him, Hu Jia smiled brightly and took his hand off Yao Yue's waist.

"Xiao Jue!"

With a gasp, Xiao Yu threw herself into Xiao Jue's arms. Xiao Mei and Xue Ni, who had just lifted their feet, put them down again, looking at Xiao Yu with envy in their eyes.

Xue Ni pouted. What's the big deal about hugging for a while now? Tonight, no matter who it's their turn, they'll eventually be unable to take it and will need help from others.

The latest novel is first published here!

"How enviable!" Hu Jia's eyes almost popped out. Although Xiao Jue was only holding Xiao Yu, Hu Jia could completely imagine Xiao Yu's beautiful legs being carried by Xiao Jue that night.

"I hope he'll be gentle with Xiao Yu tonight." Hu Jia bit her red lips, her eyes reddening with each glance, and she turned her head away.

"I'm back." After letting go of Xiao Yu, Xiao Jue smiled gently at the others. Except for Ruolin, who lowered her head shyly, Xiao Mei and Xue Ni both seemed very excited.

Yaoyue pouted jealously. How annoying! She could do that too...

"Vice Dean, we'll be leaving now."

Xiao Jue waved to Hu Qian and said with a smile, "I'll take Hu Jia to the inner courtyard as well."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Hu Qian sighed. He had really spoiled his granddaughter. Although Xiao Jue was promiscuous, at least he wasn't heartless. It would be nice to be by Xiao Jue's side.

Xiao Jue led Xiao Yu by the hand, while the others could only watch enviously as they followed behind. After finding the flying magical beast, they set off for the inner courtyard.

Sitting on the griffin's back, Xiao Jue said slowly, "I obtained a pill formula and two pills in a cave in the Monster Mountain Range on the very edge of the Jia Ma Empire. You four, discuss who will take them."

What Xiao Jue was referring to was that Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xue Ni, and Ruolin wanted to inject the life force of Yang Fire through the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, which required the Yin-Yang Harmony of the Yin-Yang Technique. Therefore, Yao Yue and Ruolin were not in a hurry.

"What kind of pill?" Xiao Yu asked curiously. "I heard from the vice dean that you're already a seventh-grade alchemist. Shouldn't you be able to refine them at will, given the medicinal herbs?"

"The ingredients for this elixir are hard to find, and the most precious main ingredient needs to be specially cultivated."

Xiao Jue said slowly, "That kind of pill is called the Life-Devouring Pill. Its function is to directly break through to become a Dou Wang. The price is that you only have three years of life left. However, by using the Yin-Yang Harmony and the Yang Fire with Yin-Yang Dual Flames, you can avoid the side effects and use the life force within the Yang Fire to replace your own life force."
