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

Chapter 22 The First Medicine Master of Central Plains

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Jue couldn't help but tease, "Is this the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou? Even if Elder Mu Gu were to refine the Dou Ling Pill, Han Feng wouldn't fail, would he?"

"Ahem, this was an accident."

The old doctor smiled awkwardly, not minding the teasing in Xiao Jue's words, even though Xiao Jue had just mentioned Elder Mu Gu and Han Feng.

The old medicine master asked in confusion, "Aren't you human? How could you...?"

Xiao Jue fell silent, unsure of what to say. He asked with a puzzled look, "After I broke through to the Great Dou Master level, it seems... I can also transform into a magical beast."

"Huh?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened. His cousin wasn't human, but a hybrid of a magical beast?

"Perhaps it was the essence of the magical beasts you refined that changed your bloodline, making you closer to the magical beasts."

The old doctor sighed and said, "Xiao Yan, you should go back first. You've seen enough of my alchemy technique. The rest of the pill-condensing process isn't important."

"Alright." Xiao Yan nodded and said with a wry smile, "Before you finish refining the pills, I will try my best to break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi."

Xiao Jue asked, "How many days have passed since we arrived at the back mountain?"

Xiao Yan said, "It's been a week already."

Xiao Jue nodded, sat down cross-legged, and took a Grade 3 Rejuvenation Pill to recover from the effects of the explosion caused by the failed alchemy attempt by the old alchemist.

Next, Yao Lao refined pills again, probably wanting to prove himself. He refined one sixth-grade Dou Ling Pill in three days and two more in six days, which he then handed over to Xiao Jue.

The old doctor said arrogantly, "Han Feng and Mu Gu, those two wicked children who betrayed their master and ancestors, are not worthy of being compared with me."

Xiao Jue smiled and said, "The title of the number one alchemist in Central China, Venerable Medicine, is well-deserved."

"Of course." The old doctor chuckled and said, "You should refine pills. It just so happens that you want to refine fourth-grade pills. I'll guide you."

"it is good."

Xiao Jue took out the Yin-Yang Cauldron and the ingredients for the Qi Gathering Powder. Since both Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning needed the Qi Gathering Powder, he decided to refine it.

However, the smile on Yao Lao's face quickly disappeared, and he nodded expressionlessly, "Keep working hard. Becoming a fourth-grade alchemist is just the beginning."

"Hahahahaha!"

Xiao Jue couldn't help but burst out laughing. The old apothecary had stayed behind to take advantage of Xiao Jue's failure to refine a fourth-grade pill, and then lecture him, repaying Xiao Jue for mocking his failure to refine the Dou Ling Pill.

However, Xiao Jue successfully refined the Qi Gathering Powder, thwarting Yao Lao's plans.

Xiao Jue's alchemy skills were far inferior to Yao Lao's. It took him a whole day to successfully refine a fourth-grade pill. Only after refining two Qi Gathering Powders did Xiao Jue leave the cave.

With a thought, he suddenly transformed into a giant golden dragon. Although it resembled a lizard and had a scorpion tail, its body was covered with dragon scales, and it had huge dragon wings on its back.

"Is that the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast?" Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow, transformed back into human form, and walked down the mountain.

When he reached the outside of his courtyard, he ran into Xiao Yu. She snorted and blocked Xiao Jue's path, questioning, "Are you scared? You've been hiding for almost half a month."

"Are you trying to rebel?" Xiao Jue picked up Xiao Yu and carried her back home, throwing her onto the bed.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Yu began to cry and beg for mercy. Xiao Jue was determined to teach her a lesson, so he sped up his movements again, causing Xiao Yu to faint.

But it wasn't over yet. He only stopped enduring the pain after Xiao Yu woke up.

Xiao Jue handed Xiao Yu a jade bottle and said, "Give this to Xiao Ning when we get back. He's my brother-in-law, after all. How could he fail to condense his Dou Qi vortex?"

Xiao Yu let out a long breath and said weakly, "What brother-in-law? Xiao Ning is your cousin."

Xiao Jue reached out and grabbed Xiao Yu's ankle, startling her so much that she hurriedly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I'll make Xiao Ning call you brother-in-law when we get back."

"If you dare to be disrespectful again, the punishment will be doubled next time." Xiao Jue said, giving Xiao Yu's shapely buttocks a light pat. "Go back and wash up tonight, and I'll refine you a fourth-grade pill, the Profound Water Pill."

"The Profound Water Pill that can accelerate the cultivation speed of water-attribute battle qi cultivators?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, but he snorted and said, "What do you take me for? You think you can trample on my dignity with a mere fourth-grade pill?"

Two.

"Xiao Jue, you are humiliating me." Xiao Yu had a rather defiant attitude.

Three.

"I'll say it one last time, Xiao Jue, don't test my limits."

"Five Profound Water Pills, plus a low-level Earth-rank water-attribute fighting skill."

Xiao Jue looked at Xiao Yu with amusement. Xiao Yu suddenly sat up in bed and kissed Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue didn't mind and let Xiao Yu kiss him.

The latest novel is first published here!

"My bottom line is for you," Xiao Yu said happily. "I'll find a place to wash up in a bit, and then I'll come keep you company tonight."

Xiao Jue asked jokingly, "What's your bottom line?"

Xiao Yu blushed and tentatively asked, "Then I'd like another Rank 5 pill."

"That place will belong to me from now on." With a light pat on Xiao Yu's shapely buttocks, Xiao Jue walked out, leaving Xiao Yu alone.

"Shameless, Xiao Yu!" Xiao Yu patted her cheeks and sighed, "Who told Xiao Jue to give me so much? A Earth-rank combat skill, that's practically legendary, isn't it?"

After leaving home, Xiao Jue did not immediately go to the Mitel Auction House to give the Dou Ling Pill to Ya Fei. Of the two Dou Ling Pills, he would only give one to Ya Fei and have her pass it on to Teng Shan of Mitel.

The two Qi Gathering Powders had just been refined, and they definitely needed to be put to good use. Xiao Jue planned to find Xiao Mei and use her Yin Essence to help him consolidate his cultivation.

"Cousin Xiao Jue, it's been so long since you've come to see Mei'er."

As the Foundation Establishment Elixir was dripped into the wooden tub, Xiao Mei stared longingly at Xiao Jue, unsure whether she was waiting for Xiao Jue or Qi Gathering Powder, though today she had both.

"Your cousin will help you break through to the Dou Zhe level."

Xiao Jue leaned closer and whispered in Xiao Mei's ear, "I just don't know if you want to break through to the Dou Zhe level?"

"Mei'er wants to break through to the Dou Zhe level~"

Xiao Mei wrapped her arms around Xiao Jue's neck as he lifted her out of the wooden tub and placed her on the bed.

It has to be said that Xiao Mei's name was really well chosen; she's much better at pleasing people than Xiao Yu.

During the process of Yin and Yang working together, although the girl fell into a coma, Xiao Jue still fed Xiao Mei the Qi Gathering Powder under these circumstances, using the Yin-Yang Technique to circulate the fighting qi in her body and help Xiao Mei condense the fighting qi vortex.

After Xiao Mei woke up, Xiao Jue left her a Qi-boosting pill, which would allow her to break through to the next level in the Dou Zhe stage.
