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

Chapter 26 Xun'er Leaves

Xiao Jue gave an awkward smile and said, "Senior, you don't need to worry about these details. Anyway, once I break through to the Dou Zun level, I'll definitely have a way to get you the remains of a Dou Sheng."

After putting away the Emperor Seal Technique, Xiao Jue put on the storage ring that Gu Yuan had given him. It was also a high-level storage ring. When he saw what was inside, Xiao Jue's eyes widened.

"Oh My God!"

The medicinal herbs inside were piled up like a mountain, probably more than an ordinary eighth-grade alchemist's life savings. There was also a letter in the storage ring.

But there was nothing else, nor were there any of the Xiao clan's old techniques or fighting skills.

Xiao Jue let out a long breath, took out the other medicinal materials needed to refine the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill, and handed them to Yao Chen along with the medicinal liquid extracted from the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill, saying, "Elder Yao, I will have to trouble you to refine the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill for me in the future."

The old apothecary rolled his eyes, put away the medicinal herbs, and said irritably, "I thought you were simple-minded before, but I didn't expect you to even fool me."

Xiao Jue took out the letter, opened it, and began to read it.

"Brother Xiao Jue, it's like seeing you in person. Xun'er is leaving, and I hope you can tell Brother Xiao Yan that Xun'er doesn't want to leave, but she can't stay in the Xiao family forever."

Xun'er still remembers Brother Xiao Jue...

Xun'er will always be waiting for you in the ancient tribe, and I hope you will always remember Xun'er.

The letter didn't contain much information, only some things that Xun'er had experienced with Xiao Jue and Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Jue didn't expect that Xun'er had such a deep impression of him, even more so than Xiao Yan.

Xiao Jue handed the letter to Xiao Yan, who read it, nodded silently, and returned it to Xiao Jue.

Xiao Yan raised his hand, and a faint yellow light gradually appeared on his fair palm. The light looked like the embers of a candle, thin and dim.

Pale yellow is the symbolic color of low-level fire-attribute techniques of the yellow rank. The higher the level of the fighting spirit technique, the darker the color.

Looking at the faint yellow light on his palm, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, raised his face to look at Yao Lao, and said with a wry smile, "Before the Burning Technique has evolved, my fighting spirit technique is lower than most people's. Let alone challenging opponents of higher levels, if I encounter an opponent of the same level who has cultivated a Xuan-level technique, it is questionable whether I can win."

"Although the Burning Technique is only a low-level Yellow Rank technique now, its power is no weaker than a mid-level Yellow Rank technique. Besides, even though the technique is weaker, you still have combat skills, right? Three Profound Rank combat skills are enough to make up for the gap caused by the technique."

The old doctor smiled and comforted him, then immediately admonished, "Your fighting spirit technique is inferior to others, which means you are not as good as them in terms of endurance and strength. Therefore, in future battles, you must be decisive and swift. If you don't move, you don't move at all; but if you do, you must go all out! Defeat them quickly!"

Xiao Yan nodded, his face still showing signs of frustration.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Yao Lao, who knew his personality very well, shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to say, "I'll give you a new fighting technique after you've completely digested the three fighting techniques you already have. Otherwise, you'll bite off more than you can chew. Don't you know that?"

"What level?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up as he asked cautiously.

Amused by Xiao Yan's cautious demeanor, Yao Lao stroked his beard and sneered, "It won't be lower than the Eight Extremes Collapse level, will it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face immediately lit up with joy. Eight Extremes Collapse was a high-level Xuan-rank fighting technique. Something even higher? What level was that?

Earthly Rank!

Although there is only one level difference between Earth Rank and Advanced Profound Rank, the distance between the two is like a chasm. Advanced Profound Rank techniques can occasionally be obtained from high-level auctions if one has abundant wealth and some luck.

However, as for Earth-rank cultivation techniques, they are truly priceless and unavailable. It is said that in the black market of the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Earth-rank cultivation techniques have been speculated to a sky-high price of nearly ten million, which is equivalent to the entire tax revenue of the Jia Ma Empire for a whole year, yet still, they have not been able to obtain them.

Despite being only one level apart, their prices differ by hundreds of times, demonstrating that the Profound Rank and the Earth Rank are fundamentally two different concepts.

Thinking that this was almost a legendary level, Xiao Yan's heart was burning with excitement, and he wished he could force Yao Lao to teach him right now. However, after weighing the status of both parties, he obediently gave up this ridiculous idea.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Jue and said smugly, "Do you have an Earth-rank Dou Technique?"

Xiao Jue said calmly, "The Yin-Yang Saint's inheritance contains Heaven-rank combat techniques, as well as combat techniques given to us by Uncle Gu Yuan, which are high-level Earth-rank techniques."

"There's one more thing. I'm already a fourth-grade alchemist, but you're just an alchemist apprentice."

Xiao Yan's face fell, and he looked at Yao Lao, asking, "Teacher, when will you teach me alchemy?"

"The art of alchemy cannot be learned in a small family like this." The old alchemist shook his head and smiled. "Moreover, you and Nalan Yanran have a three-year bet, and almost half of that time has passed. Staying in Wutan City will slow down your cultivation progress. In addition, some of my training methods cannot be used due to the complex visibility and other reasons here. Therefore, I want to take you out to cultivate and gain experience. This cultivation will take a long time, perhaps more than a year."

"More than a year?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but remembering the arrogant woman, he could only nod firmly: "Alright, more than a year it is. When do we set off?"

"Wait two more months," the old medicine doctor said with a smile.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Why wait so long?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

"Because Canaan Academy's enrollment period is in January, you need to register," the old apothecary said with a smile.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan said with a wry smile, "What would I do there? I have plenty of cultivation techniques and fighting skills, what else could they possibly teach me?"

"It's not like I'm asking you to learn anything." Yao Lao rolled his eyes at him, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You're going to Canaan Academy to find a kind of strange fire. I've received information before that Canaan Academy should have a strange fire called the Fallen Heart Flame, which ranks fourteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking! If you can obtain this strange fire, then the Burning Technique might be able to evolve."

"Fallen Heartflame?"

Xiao Yan's eyes slowly lit up as he murmured this strange name softly.

Xiao Jue smiled and handed a low-grade storage ring to Xiao Yan, saying, "There are some medicinal herbs in here. You should learn alchemy from Elder Yao for a while. As for the strange fire, there are other strange fires near the Jia Ma Empire."

Yao Lao and Xiao Yan asked in unison, "Where can we find any more strange flames?"

"The Tagor Desert is home to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the list of extraordinary flames."
