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

Chapter 157 Thunder Clan Princess

"Alright," the old apothecary laughed. "When we get to Zhongzhou, I'll find you a few beauties and give them to you then."

"Stop meddling in other people's business, you old codger." Xiao Jue rolled his eyes. Yao Lao chuckled at Xiao Jue's attitude. Anyway, he had been scolded by Xiao Jue so many times. It wasn't like he couldn't scold him after breaking through to Dou Sheng.

After all, he was the number one alchemist on the continent who could fail even when refining a sixth-grade pill!

The old man took out the Myriad Beasts Cauldron from the Nether Sea Storage Ring, separated a seed of the Sea Heart Flame, and also separated a seed of his own Bone Spirit Cold Flame, giving both seeded flames to Xiao Jue.

These two flames don't contain much energy. The Sea Heart Flame is barely at the Dou Zong level, while the Bone Spirit Cold Flame is at the Dou Zun level. If Xiao Yan absorbs them step by step in the future, he can refine their energy.

"Goodbye."

The old man left a spatial jade slip for Xiao Jue, and then took Xiao Yan and tore through space to leave Canaan Academy.

Looking at the two small flames in front of him, Xiao Jue immediately summoned the Yin-Yang Twin Flames to devour them. After the two small flames were devoured, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames in his body were strengthened, but Xiao Jue's fighting spirit did not increase much, after all, the energy in the flame seeds was still too little.

But enhancing the Yin-Yang Twin Flames is enough, since Xiao Jue has too many pills to spare if he wants to improve his strength.

"Oh, is this the young man my father found for me?"

A crisp sound rang out, and Xiao Jue looked up to see a beautiful blonde girl standing in front of him. She was petite and delicate with fair skin, wearing a white short dress, her small and cute feet hovering in the air, and her smile was very sweet.

Lei Xi reached out and pinched Xiao Jue's cheek, saying, "You're good-looking and talented enough, but your current strength is still too weak. Here's what we'll do: I'll give you a chance."

"The Pill Gathering at the Central Plains Pill Tower is still eight years away. If you can refine a Grade 9 Treasure Pill at the gathering, I'll accept you as my little man."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared, leaving behind only a dark blue storage ring, which ended up in Xiao Jue's hand.

Xiao Jue looked at Mang Tianchi and asked, "This is...?"

"This is Lei Xi." Mang Tianchi chuckled. "How about it? Beautiful, right? This is the Lei Clan princess, and she's very strong. She was already a four-star Dou Sheng more than ten years ago, and might even be a five-star Dou Sheng now. How about this gigolo position?"

Xiao Jue channeled his soul power into the deep blue storage ring, and his eyes lit up. "She'd make me lick her feet now, she's practically living off her husband, what does she care about saving face?"

The storage ring contained the Heavenly Demon Puppet Tianxuan, who had broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, as well as two spatial jade slips. One had the golden character "Xi" on it, and the other had the black character "Ying" on it. These were likely spatial jade slips made by Lei Xi and Lei Ying.

In addition, there were a large amount of medicinal materials, which could not be described as piled up like mountains. Xiao Jue swept his soul power over them and found that these medicinal materials could be used to refine at least a dozen grade nine precious pills and nearly a thousand grade eight pills.

There was even a jade bottle containing a wisp of primordial soul essence, with its origin recorded beside it.

When Lei Ying returned to the Lei Clan, he took the opportunity to destroy two branch halls of the Soul Palace and the Earthly Fiend Hall, seizing the soul essence stored there, which was enough for Xiao Jue to raise his soul power to the Heavenly Realm.

It was written next to it that after Xiao Jue broke through to the Dou Sheng realm, Lei Ying would destroy the Heaven, Earth, and Man Palaces of the Soul Palace and seize all the soul essence there to help Xiao Jue break through to the Soul Power realm.

It has to be said that Lei Ying's choice of father-in-law was truly worthwhile, and it was only natural that Gu Yuan dropped to second place on the list.

Xiao Jue also found a volume of recipes for Grade 9 Profound Elixir and eleven volumes of recipes for Grade 9 Precious Elixir, as well as more than seventy volumes of recipes for Grade 8 Elixir.

In addition, there are two volumes of fighting techniques inside: the low-level Heaven-rank Thunder Tribulation Palm and the mid-level Heaven-rank Demonic Thunder Meteor.

Is this the Lei Clan's dowry? Xiao Jue now announces that Gu Yuan has dropped from first to second place on the list. It's fortunate that the Yin Yang Saint has gone offline, otherwise Gu Yuan could have directly become third on the list.

Lei Xi, who was hiding in the shadows, was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and said, "You said it yourself."

With a gentle wave of her hand, a black lightning dragon flew out from the spatial interlayer and arrived in front of Xiao Jue.

Her clear and melodious voice rang in Xiao Jue's ears, "I heard what you said. I'm quite looking forward to having a ninth-grade alchemist lick my feet in a few years."

"This is a sub-fire of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in the Thunder Clan's Demon Thunder Pool, and it has energy comparable to that of a one-star Dou Zong."

Xiao Jue looked embarrassed. Lei Xi had overheard what he said earlier, but it didn't matter. He could just keep his promise later.

Looking at the Nine Dragons Thunderfire before him, Xiao Jue's eyes gleamed with excitement. Normally, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire would be in the shape of nine silver thunder dragons, but the one before him was a black thunder dragon.

This Nine Dragons Thunderfire of the Thunder Clan once devoured more than a dozen Nine Dragons Thunderfires and also absorbed the Black Demon Thunder, mutating its power to reach the level of a two-star Dou Sheng.

Mang Tianchi exclaimed in surprise, "This is the child fire of the Demon Dragon?"

He explained for Xiao Jue, "The Nine Dragons Thunderfire of the Thunder Clan already possesses a fire spirit. After all, it is a two-star Dou Sheng, and its soul power is at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. Its name is Demon Dragon."

"Hmm." Xiao Jue nodded and summoned the Yin-Yang Twin Flames to devour the sub-flames of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Although it contained a trace of Black Demon Thunder, it was still a sub-flame. Even if the sub-flames of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire were comparable to the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames, they could not contend with the Yin-Yang Twin Flames in Xiao Jue's body.

After absorbing this small flame, Xiao Jue's Dou Qi directly increased to three-star Dou Zong.

The latest novel is first published here!

The Heavenly Fire Venerable stood to the side, his eyes filled with envy. He had once possessed two different flames, but now... those were things he couldn't bear to recall. After taking the Flame Demon Purifying Pill, his fire-attribute battle qi could also mutate, its power no less than when he possessed the different flames.

After breaking through to the three-star Dou Zong level, Xiao Jue let out a long breath and asked, "Dean, is there any other rank eight pill you would like? I'll refine one for you now as a dowry for the Lei Clan."

"An eighth-grade pill can't be considered a betrothal gift," Mang Tianchi laughed. "My Lei Clan's princess said that she would ask you for a ninth-grade treasure pill and a ninth-grade profound pill from the clan leader. That's your betrothal gift to the Lei Clan. What I have is just an extra."

Xiao Jue asked, "So, to sum it up in one sentence, do you want me to refine an eighth-grade pill with nine-colored lightning?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mang Tianchi hurriedly agreed, but then said awkwardly, "Do you have any pill formulas? Let me take a look. I don't know what pills I need right now."

"How about I give you a Thunder Tribulation Pill instead?" Xiao Jue tossed a jade bottle to Mang Tianchi; it was a pill left behind by the Yin-Yang Saint.

Xiao Jue still had two nine-colored lightning pills and four four-colored lightning pills left in his hand.

Now, one Mangtian Ruler has been given, and one Xuanyi was given before. As for the Four-Colored Thunder Tribulation Pill, Queen Medusa took one, and Xiao Jue gave four more to Venerable Tianhuo.

"Thunder Tribulation Pills?" Mang Tianchi's eyes lit up with excitement as he asked, "Do you have any more Thunder Tribulation Pills? Give me any that are made with Black Demon Lightning, and I'll trade you the ingredients for a Grade Nine Treasure Pill."

"I need two more." Xiao Jue nodded and asked, "But where did you get the ingredients for this Grade Nine Precious Pill?"

Mang Tianchi chuckled, "The people of the Thunder Clan all possess Thunder-attribute Battle Qi. This Thunder Tribulation Pill, refined by the Black Demon Thunder, only needs to be consumed in the Demon Thunder Pool to have an effect close to that of a Grade 9 Treasure Pill."

"For example, when I took two Divine Aperture Pills to break through to the advanced Half-Saint level, I could directly break through to the Battle Saint level by taking one Thunder Tribulation Pill in the Demon Thunder Pool."
