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

Chapter 138 Becoming an Apprentice

Xuan Yi said, "That's just a Dou Sheng inheritance. You need to think this through. I'm a giant in the Pill Tower, a Nine-Turn Dou Zun."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue could only look to the old doctor for help. The old doctor glanced at Xiao Jue apologetically, then closed his eyes, as he had no other options.

Xiao Jue smiled wryly and said, "Aunt Xuan, is there really no other choice?"

"Where would you get so many choices?" Xuan Yi snorted lightly and said, "You'd better think it over before you answer."

Xiao Jue asked in a low voice, "What are the consequences of refusing?"

Aunt Xuan sneered, "Then you and Yao Chen can both die."

Xiao Jue immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then I refuse."

Xuan Yi asked in surprise, "You guessed it?"

"I just killed Han Feng not long ago."

The old apothecary floated over unsteadily, a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Xuanyi, Xiao Jue is different from Han Feng. He has a pure heart and doesn't have as much greed."

"Is that so?" Xuan Yi nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Then he still has to be my disciple."

"Ah?" Yao Lao and Xiao Jue exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Xuan Yi said, "Today, this kid can either call you 'Teacher' or 'Teacher's Wife.' You can choose one."

"Xiao Jue." The old apothecary didn't dare to try to persuade Xuan Yi, and could only look at Xiao Jue with a wry smile, "How about you just consider it helping me out?"

"Anyway, Xuan Yi is already several hundred years old and is a Nine-Turn Dou Zun, with a prominent status. It wouldn't be a loss for you to become her disciple."

"Do you want to die?" Xuan Yi looked at Yao Chen with a smile. "Who are you calling hundreds of years old?"

Xiao Jue hurriedly said, "Ahem, that's right. Aunt Xuan is young and beautiful, unlike you, a dead old man."

"And don't say I'm bullying you." Xuan Yi sat on the stone platform to the side, her legs crossed because she was wearing a cheongsam, her fair and tender legs swaying back and forth.

"Yao Chen's identity means that he cannot appear openly on the Dou Qi Continent, otherwise the Lord of the Soul Palace would definitely send someone to kill him."

"By then, it won't be a nobody like Mu Gu who makes a move; it will definitely be a Half-Saint, though it's uncertain whether it will be the Second or Third Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace."

"Even after Yao Chen is resurrected, his strength will not be restored. Since he left the Pill Tower back then, the Pill Tower cannot protect him according to the rules. But you are different."

Xuan Yi exclaimed, "A one-star Dou Zong who is not even eighteen years old, and a peak eighth-grade alchemist. Such talent is truly unheard of. If I had met you when I was young, I might not have even looked down on a blind fool like Yao Chen, who was killed by his own disciple in collusion with outsiders."

"If you join the Pill Tower, I can hold a meeting inside the Small Pill Tower to make you the successor of the Small Pill Tower, the future master of the Small Pill Tower. Once you become a ninth-grade alchemist, you will be the master of the Pill Tower and can do whatever you want."

The old apothecary did not speak. Although he and Xiao Jue had the de facto master-disciple relationship, they were not true master and disciple. Moreover, he hoped that Xiao Jue could join the Pill Tower, which would also benefit him.

If Xiao Jue doesn't become someone else's disciple, then he is considered Yao Chen's disciple. He both hopes that Xiao Jue will join the Xuan Yi sect and that Xiao Jue will refuse Xuan Yi.

"I have one condition," Xiao Jue said. "If you want me to become your disciple, I want the corpse of a Dou Sheng."

"To revive Yao Chen?" Xuan Yi said, "Aside from some ancient relics left by Dou Sheng, it's almost impossible to obtain the corpse of a Dou Sheng."

"After reaching the Dou Sheng realm, life-or-death battles rarely break out. Most of them die of old age, and their clansmen will not hand over their bodies to others. The bodies of those Dou Sheng experts who are killed are almost all refined, after all, Dou Sheng essence blood and bone marrow are rare treasures."

"Let's change the terms."

Xiao Jue said, "I know a place where the remains of a Dou Sheng are kept. Aunt Xuan, please go and retrieve them for me, and I will become your disciple."

Xuan Yi said, "If it was snatched from a Dou Sheng, then you shouldn't say anything more."

"I know the approximate location of an ancient Battle Saint's ruins. With your strength, you will not be in any danger entering it."

Xuan Yi nodded. "Then let's become disciples. I just refined a pill a few days ago, so I'll give it to you as your discipleship gift."

The old apothecary suppressed his bitterness and looked at Xuan Yi with a half-smile. Pills? What eighth-grade pill could compare to the two Bodhi Pills in Xiao Jue's storage ring?

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

Xiao Jue bowed respectfully, and Xuan Yi nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Since we have the location of the Dou Sheng's remains, there's no need to refine the Heavenly Fate Pill for you. Let's just find the Dou Sheng's remains and revive you."

"Very well." Yao Lao nodded, and the thought of his imminent resurrection and the chance to become a Dou Sheng made him smile.

Xuan Yi took out a jade box and handed it to Xiao Jue, saying, "Open it and take a look. I have sealed the spiritual energy of this pill, so there will be no danger."

"Thank you, teacher."

When Xiao Jue opened it, he saw that inside was a blood-red pill with nine pill patterns on it, which looked quite mysterious.

The Nine-Turn Phoenix Spirit Pill, an eighth-grade pill made of nine-colored pill lightning, can instantly allow a nine-star Dou Zun to complete the nine-turn process of Dou Zun and reach the peak of Dou Zun. It is already close to a ninth-grade treasure pill.

The old alchemist exclaimed in admiration, "It's actually the Nine-Turn Phoenix Spirit Pill! Your alchemy skills have improved greatly!"

Xuan Yi scoffed, "At least you're not like some of the top alchemists in Zhongzhou who can't even refine a Heavenly Fate Pill with seven-colored pill lightning."

Xiao Jue said from the side, "The eighth-grade pill of Seven-Colored Pill Lightning is still too difficult for the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou. After all, it is something that even the best alchemist would fail to refine."

"Failed to refine the Battle Spirit Pill?"

Xuan Yi was quite surprised and couldn't connect the failure of the Battle Spirit Pill with Yao Chen.

The old doctor smiled wryly, "When Xiao Jue broke through to the Great Dou Master level, he didn't condense a Dou Crystal in his body, but rather a Demon Core. At that time, I was refining a Dou Spirit Pill..."

Xuan Yi scoffed, "That's because your alchemy skills aren't up to par yet."

The old doctor had told her about Xiao Jue's situation before, and she was aware that Xiao Jue had the bloodline of a magical beast.

Xiao Jue put away the Nine-Turn Phoenix Spirit Pill, and also took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xuan Yi, saying, "This is a pill left behind by the Yin-Yang Saint. Its quality is almost the same as the Nine-Turn Phoenix Spirit Pill of my teacher. I offer it to my teacher."

Xuan Yi waved his hand and said, "Keep the eighth-grade pill for yourself; it's of no use to me."

The old doctor smiled and said, "This is the Bodhi Pill."

"Bodhi Pill!?" Xuan Yi was speechless for a moment, then smiled gently. "Then thank you, my good disciple. Your teacher will accept it."

"I'm glad I can help the teacher."

The old doctor said, "Give her one of the Nine-Colored Thunder Tribulation Pills as well. After taking the Thunder Tribulation Pill, her condition can be improved to perfection. If she then takes the Bodhi Pill, her chances of breaking through will be even higher."
