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

Chapter 20 Breakthrough to Great Dou Master

Xiao Jue asked doubtfully, "What is the Purple Flame Pill?"

The old doctor laughed and said, "It is also a pill formula I created myself, an upgraded version of the Azure Flame Pill, a grade three pill."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded.

After Xiao Yan changed his clothes, Yao Lao returned to the Bone Flame Ring. The two then went to the back mountain and found a hidden cave, where they decided to refine pills.

The old apothecary appeared and said, "Xiao Jue, first separate the sub-flames of the Illusionary Gold Flame, and I will refine the Extreme Fire Pill for you. After that, while I refine the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, you can take the Condensation Liquid Pill to break through to the Seven-Star Dou Master."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to use his battle qi to separate the seeds of the Illusory Golden Flame within his body.

The Golden Flame is highly dependent on and compatible with Xiao Jue. Perhaps it is because it was once the natal beast flame of the Yin-Yang Saint. Xiao Jue fused with the essence and blood of the Yin-Yang Saint, so it is equivalent to Xiao Jue's natal beast flame.

The Golden Flame realized that Xiao Jue was going to separate its flames, so it began to resist. However, with the Yin and Yang Twin Flames present, the Golden Flame's resistance seemed somewhat powerless.

Having successfully separated a wisp of golden flame, the old man waved his hand to collect it, then tossed a red pill to Xiao Jue, who swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing that Xiao Jue took the pill he had refined without any hesitation, Yao Lao couldn't help but smile. After all, such a pure young man seemed to have no guile.

After separating a wisp of the Illusionary Golden Flame, Xiao Jue was somewhat weak. After taking the Extreme Fire Pill, he recovered a little. After all, the energy of the Illusionary Golden Flame had been sealed by the Yin-Yang Saint, so separating a wisp of the flame had little impact on Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue then swallowed the Condensation Pill and began his breakthrough to the Seven-Star Dou Shi level.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, was filled with envy. Xiao Jue was a year younger than him and was about to become a Great Dou Master, while he was only at the eighth level of Dou Qi and had not even broken through to the ninth level.

When Xiao Jue opened his eyes, a powerful aura burst forth from his body. Yao Lao had already successfully refined the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. With his soul power greatly restored, it wouldn't take him long to refine a fifth-grade pill.

However, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the ground watching, was caught in the crossfire and was knocked over by this aura, falling flat on his back.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Yan rubbed his buttocks and said speechlessly, "You're really a monster, a seven-star Dou Shi at fifteen years old."

Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "He should be a fifteen-year-old Grand Dou Master."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, secretly thinking about what Yao Lao had told him: his strength would increase dramatically after refining the strange fire, and he would eventually have a chance to surpass Xiao Jue.

We must teach him a lesson he won't forget, and make Xiao Jue repair the door twenty times a day for three days straight!

"Take the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill to break through," Yao Lao said with a smile. "I'm going to refine the Dou Ling Pill now. You break through first. Xiao Yan can watch me refine the first Dou Ling Pill. When he goes back, you can watch me refine the second one."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded.

The alchemist's refining of pills would not affect Xiao Jue's cultivation and breakthrough, because with the Black Demon Cauldron, the Heavenly Cauldron was not just a name. As long as the alchemist was willing, not a single bit of energy would leak out and affect Xiao Jue.

He opened the jade bottle, poured out a cyan pill with three red patterns around its body, and held it between two fingers.

His eyes slowly closed, his hands formed the hand seals for cultivation, and the rise and fall of his chest became increasingly steady.

Shortly after Xiao Jue closed his eyes, the tranquil space around him began to ripple, as if a stone had been thrown into a still lake.

Strands of visible energy flowed out from the void, then transformed into thousands of energy threads, surging towards Xiao Jue and entering his body along with his breath.

Once these energies entered his body, they were easily controlled by Xiao Jue's mind. They circulated along the cultivation path, and the impurities within were completely purified, leaving only a small amount of pure energy, which was then infused into the vortex.

Slowly absorbing the energy from the outside world, after a while, when everything was back to normal, Xiao Jue suddenly flicked his fingers lightly on the three-patterned Azure Spirit Pill between his two fingers, and with a clever force, he flicked it into his slightly open mouth.

The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Before Xiao Jue could even react, it rapidly transformed into three streams of pure energy, each stronger than the last, flowing down his throat like a rushing river, roaring as it poured into his meridians.

The moment the three streams of energy entered his meridians, Xiao Jue's hand, which was in the cultivation hand seal, trembled violently. He discovered that at that moment, two of the three streams of energy suddenly released a heat comparable to that of flames.

The other white energy suddenly became as cold as ice, and a thin layer of frost appeared on the meridian walls wherever the cold air passed.

The sudden change in temperature caught Xiao Jue off guard, almost pulling him out of his cultivation state. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, calmed himself down, and gritted his teeth to endure the strange pain.

The latest novel is first published here!

As he sensed the three energies of different temperatures, he vaguely understood that these three energy patterns were the three flames that Yao Lao used when refining pills.

"Could this so-called Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill absorb the power of flames and then imitate the energy it contains?"

Slightly enlightened, Xiao Jue quickly focused his mind into his body. With a thought, surging black and white battle qi surged out from his meridians, finally colliding fiercely with the energy of the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill at a certain point in his meridians.

"Bang!"

Hearing the soft thud coming from within his body, Xiao Jue let out a low groan, his face flushed, his hand seals changed, and his mind began to guide the three energies, whose sharpness had been somewhat diminished by the battle qi, to circulate rapidly along the path of the cultivation technique.

As it operates, the three energies—one cold and two hot—intertwine and blend together harmoniously, occasionally releasing different temperatures.

Although the previous proactive attack of the fighting spirit had slightly reduced the medicinal power of the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, the three energies, as they circulated along the cultivation path, perfectly merged again into a single energy with three colors.

As they merged, the volume of the energy suddenly increased dramatically. The energy, which was originally somewhat illusory, has now been completely transformed into a three-colored liquid.

The volume surged, and Xiao Jue could even vaguely hear the excited roar emanating from the energy. However, before he could react, the three-colored energy in his meridians began to circulate wildly within them, like a speeding train.
