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

Chapter 116 Yao Yue Wants to Give It Away for Free

The old apothecary looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Xiao Yan's strength has been breaking through continuously. I plan to have him enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to cultivate and settle his unstable Dou Qi. I'll also teach him alchemy while I'm at it. What about you?"

"I'll head back first," Xiao Jue said with a smile. "Now that I've broken through to the fourth-star Dou Huang level and am cultivating the high-level Earth-rank Yin Yang Technique, I'll go back first to give the Azure Nether Spirit Pill and the One Beginning Pill to Hu Jia and Yao Yue, and then come back to try refining eighth-grade pills."

"Very well." The old apothecary nodded, returned the Yin-Yang Cauldron he had used to refine pills to Xiao Jue, and went back into the Bone Flame Ring.

After returning to the inner courtyard, Xiao Yan went back to the Xiao Clan's residence. He had obtained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, his strength had reached the Seven-Star Dou Ling level, and he possessed the Azure Lotus Fire Spirit Body. He wanted to use fire energy to upgrade his Fire Crystal Card and enter the seventh or even eighth level of cultivation.

When Xiao Jue returned to the pavilion, he found that only Yao Yue and Xue Ni were at home. Yao Yue was refining pills on the second floor, while Xue Ni was looking through scrolls in her room. The scrolls contained the low-level Earth-rank fighting technique, Ten Thousand Waves Slaughter, which Xiao Yu had previously obtained by exchanging a back door with Xiao Jue.

"Where did the others go?" Xiao Jue suddenly appeared in Xue Ni's room, his hand unconsciously sliding into Xue Ni's chest.

"Xiao Jue?" Xue Ni was startled at first, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Xiao Jue. She said, "The four of them went to cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Yao Yue and I only came back from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower yesterday."

"Hmm." Xiao Jue nodded, and with a slight increase in pressure, Xue Ni swallowed hard, her body went limp, and she leaned against Xiao Jue.

……

After knocking Xue Ni down, Xiao Jue went up to the second floor. Yao Yue didn't refine pills in her room because Hu Jia had also moved to the fourth floor, where no one would make noise. So Yao Yue refined pills in the hall on the second floor.

"Not bad." Xiao Jue nodded and said, "You're already a Seven-Star Great Dou Master."

"Teacher?" Yao Yue was pleasantly surprised, but still focused her attention on the medicine cauldron in front of her. Xiao Jue had a rule that if a pill was failed to be refined, then ten identical pills would be refined in a row before resting.

After Yaoyue successfully refined a Grade 3 Qi-restoring Pill, she put the pill into a jade bottle and excitedly jumped into Xiao Jue's arms, rubbing her little head against his chest.

"Teacher, isn't Yue'er pretty?" She looked up at Xiao Jue with a pitiful expression.

"How could that be? Yue'er is so cute." Xiao Jue picked up Yao Yue and sat her on the sofa, letting her sit in his lap.

"Then why doesn't the teacher talk to Yue'er..."

Yao Yue bit her lip, staring intently at Xiao Jue, her meaning already very clear.

"You're so greedy." Xiao Jue gently tapped Yao Yue's brow and said, "I have an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning here. It can shape your physique and enhance your potential. Take it when you get back to your room."

"After you wake up, your teacher will take you to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to satisfy your desires."

"Okay..." Yaoyue happily agreed, shyly lowering her head. She was happy to offer herself up to Xiao Jue, but shyness was inevitable.

Xiao Jue took out the jade bottle, opened it, and fed Yao Yue the First Pill. She quickly fell asleep in Xiao Jue's arms. Xiao Jue carried her back to the room and placed Yao Yue on the bed.

"Tsk, they're all cultivating inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower." Xiao Jue shook his head, then vanished in a flash. He'd come back later; if the others hadn't returned by then, he'd take Yao Yue directly to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

……

"Dean, it's really difficult to get an audience with you!"

Su Qian looked at Xiao Jue with a sigh and said, "I have gathered six sets of Zongyuan Pill ingredients here, which belong to me, Hu Qian, Wu Tianlang, and Old Man Huo. I would like to ask Dean to refine four Zongyuan Pills. I would like to use other ingredients to replace the six missing ingredients."

Su Qian handed Xiao Jue a storage ring. After taking it, Xiao Jue scanned it with his soul power and found that in addition to the ingredients for the six portions of Zongyuan Pill, there were also thousands of high-grade medicinal herbs, whose value was no less than that of the ingredients for the six portions of Zongyuan Pill.

It's estimated that in order to refine pills for the four of them, they probably gave all the medicinal herbs from Canaan Academy to Xiao Jue.

"No wonder all the medicinal herbs in the academy have disappeared; it turns out it was you, old man, who stole them!"

At this moment, a little girl with purple hair appeared, glaring angrily at Su Qian. She was only about Xiao Jue's waist tall and seemed to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Her long, light purple hair reached her waist, and her face was extremely fair and delicate, with a beautiful, sculpted appearance. Her pair of large, dark, and bright eyes were staring at Su Qian.

The moment she appeared, Xiao Jue felt a sense of awe from his bloodline and a greed from the depths of his soul. If he could obtain her, he could obtain the pure bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon, or even the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor!

Zi Yan tilted her head and looked at Xiao Jue, asking, "You're the new dean of Canaan Academy. What happened to the previous dean? Did he die of old age?"

"And are you a seventh-grade alchemist? Can you refine a Transformation Pill? If you can refine a Transformation Pill for me so I can grow up, I can help you beat people up. I'll do whatever you say."

"Zi Yan, show some respect to the Dean." Su Qian's face darkened as he said, "Xiao Jue is the honorary dean, and the dean is still alive."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Tch." Zi Yan curled her lip in disdain and said, "Old man, I've caught you stealing from your post. Give me a hundred medicinal herbs right now, or I'll tell everyone you stole from your post and ruin your reputation in your old age."

Xiao Jue said quietly, "Elder, is this the Brute Force King, who is ranked first on the Inner Court's Strongest Ranking? I seem to know what her true form is."

"Huh!?" Su Qian and Zi Yan's eyes widened simultaneously. Zi Yan even rushed in front of Xiao Jue, revealing a cute expression, and asked, "Dean, do you know what my true form is?"

Su Qian sighed, "Zi Yan has lived alone in the deep mountains since she became conscious. According to her, when she was a child, she was bullied by other guys and could only run away in shame. It wasn't until later, after she ate the Transformation Grass, that I met her and brought her to the inner courtyard, where she stayed."

"Because she consumed the Transformation Grass, and because Zi Yan's strength hasn't reached the Dou Huang level, she has been unable to grow up and has maintained the appearance of a little girl. In reality, she is older than you."

Zi Yan lowered her head, curled up her legs, hugged her knees with both hands, bit her lip tightly with her white and neat teeth, and her dark eyes were slightly watery.

"She's definitely older than me." Xiao Jue's lips twitched involuntarily, but it depended on whether Zi Yan's age was counted from when she was in the dragon egg or after she hatched.

If we start counting from when she was born from the dragon egg, then Zi Yan's age is not only older than Xiao Jue's, but also older than Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor.
