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

Chapter 23 The Birth of the Seven Illusions and Azure Spirit

"Good little brother, why do you always like to leave your sister hanging?"

Ya Fei looked at Xiao Jue with a resentful expression, then threw herself into his arms. A jade bottle appeared in Xiao Jue's hand. Ya Fei was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "You didn't just put the Spirit-Boosting Pill in a jade bottle like that, did you?"

She had seen sixth-grade pills before. When Pill King Gu He broke through to the sixth grade, the first sixth-grade pill he produced was auctioned at the Mittel Auction House.

It was originally placed in a wooden box made of high-grade medicinal herbs, but now Xiao Jue only uses a jade bottle to hold it.

Xiao Jue nodded, handed the jade bottle containing the Douling Pill to Ya Fei, and carried her into the office cubicle, where there was a bed.

After it was over, Ya Fei said breathlessly, "The headquarters sent the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Birthday Gift. It is said to be sent by the family of your cousin's fiancée. The Lionheart Marshal of the Empire, Grandfather Nalan Jie, personally said that it was a gift for you. He also hopes that Xiao Yan can forgive past grievances and not hold Nalan Yanran's ignorance against him. At the same time, he would like to invite your teacher to the capital."

"A few years ago, the patriarch of the Nalan family fought against a highly venomous fifth-tier magical beast, the Branding Poison Python, in order to harvest this Seven Illusion Green Spirit. Although he eventually killed it, he was unfortunately injected with a terrifying toxin called Branding Poison into Nalan Jie's body."

"You are skilled in alchemy, so you should know the power of this poison. Records show that there are many sixth-order magical beasts that have been killed by the Branding Iron Poison Mark. If it weren't for the fact that their numbers are so few that they are negligible, I'm afraid many powerful people on the continent would be horrified by this poison."

"Over the years, thanks to his powerful fighting spirit, Old Master Nalan has been suppressing the toxins. However, as he gets older, the rebound of the toxins is becoming stronger and stronger. It is estimated that in less than two years, the caustic toxins hidden in his body will completely erupt."

"Once the branding poison erupts, even the powerful Nalan, who is at the Dou Wang level, will completely collapse. Gu He and President Fa Ma have also gone to see him, and there is no way to remove the branding poison. That kind of poison is just like its name, deeply branded into your bones and even bone marrow. No pill can remove it."

"Although Dan Wang Guhe did not remove the toxins, he did suggest a feasible method: to control the flames to enter Old Master Nalan's body and then use high temperatures to expel the branding toxins. Unfortunately, this has a crucial prerequisite: the flames must be of a different kind."

"After all, what happened with your cousin Xiao Yan back then didn't have much to do with Old Master Nalan. In fact, he even angrily kicked Nalan Yanran out of the house several times afterward, although it wasn't permanent..."

Xiao Jue wasn't particularly concerned about the love-hate relationship between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, but Xiao Yan was extremely persistent about it, and Xiao Jue didn't want to make a move before the three-year agreement.

Moreover, he didn't have a real teacher and was unwilling to go directly to the capital. If he were detained by Guhe, it would be very dangerous.

Xiao Jue said, "My teacher left not long ago after refining the Dou Ling Pill. He said that he would arrive in the capital two years later, before Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's three-year agreement begins, and that's when I will be able to see my teacher."

Ya Fei took out a jade flowerpot containing a plant.

As soon as the plant appeared, the entire room was filled with a faint, calming fragrance.

Smelling the exotic fragrance, Xiao Jue's gaze instantly stopped on the plant in her hand. The plant was entirely green, and looked like it was carved from a piece of fine jade.

At the top of the plant, a flower with seven colors was slowly blooming. As the flower unfolded, Xiao Jue was somewhat surprised to find that the seven colors were also gradually changing, looking extremely gorgeous.

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Grandpa Nalan said that although this Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva can be stored in a storage ring, you must let it bask in the sun for an hour every day, otherwise it will wither on its own. You must remember that."

"Am I the alchemist or are you?" Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow, put the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill into his Yin-Yang Ring, and then asked, "When did you take it out to sunbathe?"

Ya Fei covered her mouth and laughed, "A little over two hours ago."

"You still dare to laugh? Looks like I'll have to punish you properly."

Having received the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Birth, Xiao Jue was in high spirits. After filling Ya Fei's cup again, he took the medicinal herbs that the Mittel family had collected recently from her before leaving.

"Clang!"

Xiao Yan, who was cultivating, sighed helplessly and asked, "Xiao Jue, could you please stop kicking my door?"

"What's the big deal?" Xiao Jue rolled his eyes and said, "I'll return a strange fire to you later, okay?"

"You said it yourself." Xiao Yan immediately beamed with joy and stopped worrying about his door.

If he could obtain a strange flame in exchange, he wouldn't mind Xiao Jue kicking his door down.

"Master Yao, we've obtained the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Elixir, but we haven't gathered all the remaining medicinal herbs." Xiao Jue asked, "Could we first refine the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Elixir into a medicinal liquid and store it in a jade bottle?"

"Alright." The old apothecary nodded, then exclaimed in surprise, "This is a rare elixir that can enhance soul power. Don't you want to refine and consume it directly? It could raise your soul power to the late stage of the mortal realm."

"That would be too wasteful." Xiao Jue rolled his eyes. "The difference between advancing from the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm to the late-stage of the Mortal Realm and advancing from the late-stage of the Mortal Realm to the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm is still quite large."

The old apothecary chuckled, then used the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to refine the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Birth, put it into a jade bottle, and returned it to Xiao Jue.

The latest novel is first published here!

This Seven Illusion Azure Spirit Blossom is no less effective than a Grade 5 Soul Nourishing Blossom, but as Xiao Jue said, using it directly would be too wasteful.

When Xiao Jue returned home, he saw Xiao Yu lying on his bed. Her fair back, pert buttocks, and long, sexy legs created an extremely alluring curve.

Looking at those perfect curves, Xiao Jue walked forward, raised his palm, and without hesitation slapped her pert, delicate buttocks hard.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound, tinged with a hint of ambiguity, drifted slowly through the room.

"Ugh~" Xiao Yu buried her head in the pillow and made a sound. Xiao Jue walked over with a mischievous smile.

……

With tears welling in her eyes, Xiao Yu said aggrievedly, "You're not allowed to go in from there next time."

"Your opinion doesn't count." Xiao Jue handed Xiao Yu a scroll and said, "This is a low-level Earth-rank Dou Technique called 'Myriad Waves Annihilation.' If a Dou Wang expert were to use it, it could instantly engulf Wutan City."

Earth-rank combat skills were something Xiao Yu, who grew up in Wutan City, had only heard of at Canaan Academy, and this was the first time he had ever seen one.
