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

Chapter 137 Black Robe

"Hmm... about half a month," Yao Lao said. "Seven days have passed since Tian Huo set off, so there's about a week left. Xuan Yi should arrive here soon."

"Teacher, when can I absorb the Fallen Heart Flame?" Xiao Yan asked anxiously. "I'm almost a Dou Wang now. If I don't absorb the strange fire soon, my Burning Flame Technique level will fall behind."

The old doctor laughed and scolded, "Then devour it now. I previously refined a sixth-grade Earth Spirit Pill for you, which can help you devour the Fallen Heart Flame. When you devour the Fallen Heart Flame, your strength will be able to rise to the Dou Wang level, and the Burning Technique can probably evolve to the middle level of the Earth Rank."

"Then I'll head back now," Xiao Jue said with a smile. "Xiao Yan's attempt to devour the strange fire is now guaranteed to succeed."

"I'm afraid you can't resist practicing the Yin-Yang Technique again," Xiao Yan said with a mischievous grin. "Be careful, if Xun'er finds out, she'll cut you off."

Even if I cut it in half, it would still be bigger than you.

Xiao Yan's face stiffened. Wasn't he now powerless? Otherwise, he could easily refine a pill and grow stronger again.

……

After returning to the inner courtyard, Xiao Jue hosted a grand feast at home.

Now that Xiao Jue has broken through to the Dou Zong realm, the benefits they have gained are quite obvious.

Zi Yan has made up her mind, except when taking the pills.

In just one day, Xiao Jue sensed a powerful soul force suddenly erupting within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

This prompted Xiao Yu, who was waiting nearby, to curse, "Xiao Jue, you bastard!"

……

"What happened?"

After arriving at the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Jue looked at Yao Lao with an anxious expression and asked, "How could Xiao Yan be attacked by the strange fire?"

The old doctor said bitterly, "I don't know either. After taking the Earth Spirit Pill and absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, everything was normal at first, but Xiao Yan suddenly suffered a backlash from the strange fire."

"The battle crystal was completely burned, and its meridians were severed!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Jue took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, preparing to pour it out and feed it to Xiao Yan. The Creation Pill, an eighth-grade pill from the Nine-Colored Thunder Pill, was enough to help Xiao Yan recover.

"Wait a minute," said Yao Lao. "Xiao Yan has taken the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill; perhaps he can undergo a transformation through it."

Xiao Jue frowned, handed the jade bottle to the old doctor, and also took out the last Dragon Phoenix Pill and gave it to the old doctor, saying, "If Xiao Yan does not improve, give him this."

"Hmm." The old apothecary accepted it without hesitation, saying, "You can go back now. I'll stay here and watch over things."

He gently waved his hand, using spatial power to open a small space on the mountainside, and put Xiao Yan inside. Now all he could do was wait and see if Xiao Yan could pull through on his own.

If he survives, the medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill will be activated, allowing him to undergo a transformation. If he doesn't survive, the Dragon Phoenix Pill and Creation Pill can help him recover.

"That's all we can do." Xiao Jue nodded, and after confirming that Xiao Yan was not in any danger, or at least not so worried, he went back again.

Xiao Jue released all the pressure in his heart, and apart from Zi Yan escaping, the remaining six women all benefited greatly.

For six consecutive days, Xiao Jue did not stop, and they could take turns to fight, so none of them backed down. On average, each of them improved their strength every day.

After leaving them with cultivation pills, Xiao Jue set off for the Monster Mountain Range. According to Yao Lao's prediction, Xuan Yi should be arriving soon.

When Xiao Jue arrived at the Monster Mountain Range, he saw Venerable Tianhuo outside the valley. He said to Xiao Jue, "Guild Leader Xuanyi has arrived and is catching up with Venerable Yao inside."

"Hmm." Xiao Jue nodded and stepped inside.

The old doctor was talking to a beautiful woman in a cheongsam. The woman in black looked to be around thirty years old, with a calm expression and a hint of the wisdom that comes with age.

Wearing a purple cheongsam, she exuded charm, revealing her fair collarbone and long, slender legs, which immediately caught Xiao Jue's attention.

However, Xiao Jue quickly looked away and stepped forward to bow.

The man in black said softly, "You must be Xiao Jue. Call me..."

The old doctor interrupted, "Just call her Aunt Xuan."

"Aunt Xuan." Xiao Jue bowed respectfully, then lowered his head and pretended to be mute.

Xuan Yi bit her red lips, looking aggrieved, and said, "After all these years, you still can't accept me?"

"Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi are also giants of the Pill Tower, yet you only sent me here. Isn't that...?"

The old apothecary looked pained and said, "Han Shanshan died trying to save me."

The latest novel is first published here!

"She..." Xuan Yi was speechless for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Fine, I'll help you refine the Heavenly Fate Pill."

She turned around and said, "Xiao Jue, give me the medicinal herbs."

Xiao Jue hurriedly took out the last batch of ingredients for the Heavenly Fate Pill and handed it to Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi took the ingredients and smiled gently, saying, "Yao Chen just told me that you didn't become his disciple. He only gave you some pointers on alchemy. Would you like to become my disciple?"

"I'm afraid that won't work," the old apothecary interrupted. "I didn't teach Xiao Jue much, but I watched him grow up, so I consider him my disciple."

Xiao Jue's lips twitched involuntarily. It was likely that Yao Lao hadn't witnessed his growth process, since the Yin and Yang should never be observed by others during the Yin-Yang Harmony.

"You say so, so it is?" Xuan Yi said with dissatisfaction, "Now I'm giving you two choices: either let Xiao Jue become my disciple, and with Xiao Jue's talent, he might become the tower master of the Little Pill Tower in the future, or you can stay with me after you are resurrected."

The old apothecary immediately hid to the side and stopped talking. He could no longer afford to offend Xuan Yi. He could hide from him before, but now he couldn't even run away.

Xiao Jue smiled wryly and said, "Senior, my alchemy skills are already at the peak of the eighth rank, so I am really not suitable to become your disciple."

Xuan Yi smiled and said, "Then I also have cultivation techniques and fighting skills. You are only a one-star Dou Zong now, while I am a nine-turn Dou Zun. Don't look at Yao Chen just because he is the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou. I am a giant in the Pill Tower, and my collection is definitely more abundant than his."

The old doctor said from a distance, "Xiao Jue has the inheritance of a Dou Sheng, and he is currently cultivating a Heaven-rank technique."

"Shut up!" Xuan Yi shouted, and Yao Lao immediately hid obediently in the corner, not daring to speak.
