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

"From this day forward, I shall be the Lord of the Dan Tower."

Xiao Jue stood in mid-air, saying indifferently, "From now on, the five major families of the Pill Tower are: Cao Ying of the Cao family, Dan Chen of the Dan family, Bai Wei of the Bai family, Ye Xinlan of the Ye family, and the Qiu family..."

Xiao Jue looked at Xuan Yi and transmitted his voice, "Teacher, quickly choose a grand-disciple for you from the Qiu family, a beautiful young genius alchemist."

These four people left a deep impression on Xiao Jue, except for the Qiu family. However, they were all among the five great families of the Pill Tower, so he couldn't show favoritism.

The man in black transmitted his voice, "The Qiu family was wiped out by the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array half a year ago."

"These four can become my disciples. In six months, I will refine a ninth-grade golden pill outside the Pill Tower. All alchemists from the Dou Qi Continent are welcome to come and watch and learn."

Xiao Jue's voice rang in everyone's ears. Afterwards, they would spread the news, so that the Medicine Clan would also hear about it.

Xiao Jue is declaring war on the alchemy industry, aiming to determine the true number one alchemist on the continent outside the Pill Tower, and the one recognized by everyone.

Afterwards, Xiao Jue left with Xuan Yi, along with nine other Supreme Elders of the Pill Tower, former members of the Grand Elder Council, whose worst alchemy skills were all at the peak of the eighth rank.

At the same time, Yao Lao also followed. Although he was not a member of the Pill Tower, no one was so foolish as to want to drive him away.

Arriving at the former council hall of the Pill Tower, Xiao Jue said, "I will be leaving for a while to enter the Demon Flame Space and devour the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. I will need to trouble you, Teacher, to help manage the affairs of the Pill Tower."

"Also, send an invitation to the Medicine Clan, with my name on it, inviting Yao Dan. That old fellow won't dare refuse."

Then, Xiao Jue glanced at Yao Lao, paused for a moment, and then tossed out three wooden boxes, saying, "Inside are a ninth-grade treasure pill, a thunder tribulation pill, a ninth-grade profound pill, a holy profound pill, and a divine fire nine-profound pill. After refining them all, it will be enough for you, Yao Lao, to break through to the six-star Dou Sheng realm."

These pills were naturally refined by Long Yan. With six times the time in the Heavenly Tomb, Long Yan had become nothing more than a tool for alchemy.

In particular, he also possesses the Flame of Life, so he doesn't need to deliberately search for medicinal herbs. Every time he uses the Flame of Life to cultivate a seed into a medicinal herb, that herb will also have more seeds.

"However, even after taking the Thunder Tribulation Pill, it will only allow you to break through to the mid-stage of the four-star Dou Sheng. With such strength, it is still a bit dangerous to take the ninth-grade Xuan Dan alone. We can use formations and other pills to help you refine the ninth-grade Xuan Dan."

Xiao Jue smiled slightly and said, "Six months from now, I may be able to defeat Yao Dan, but when it comes to the Yao Clan's Pharmacopoeia, I would prefer that Elder Yao personally go to the Yao Clan and refine the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill."

"If the entire Medicine Clan is only confident in refining a Grade Nine Profound Pill, then Yao Dan will never personally participate in the Medicine Compendium."

"Then I will shamelessly accept it."

The old apothecary smiled and accepted the three wooden boxes, then said with a smile, "However, I also brought you a gift this time I came to the Pill Tower."

With a wave of his hand, two balls of fire flew toward Xiao Jue, one milky white and the other deep blue, namely the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame.

Xiao Jue stood there stunned. Yao Lao chuckled and said, "Now, most of the strange flames on the Dou Qi Continent are on you. Xiao Yan has also given up cultivating the Burning Technique. He has the Azure Lotus Fire Spirit Body, so the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is more suitable for him."

"Besides, I couldn't give the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to Xiao Yan to devour, so I had him switch to cultivating other techniques. With his talent in alchemy, plus the support of you and me, even without the Burning Technique, Xiao Yan can still break through to Dou Sheng in the future."

Xiao Jue opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Then he chuckled and tossed a jade box to Yao Lao.

"The Nine-Colored Thunder Pill, an eighth-grade elixir, the Holy Spirit Pill, can also be refined by you, but consider it a token of my appreciation to Xiao Yan."

Xiao Jue thought of the pain Xiao Yan felt when he devoured the strange fire. Now, because of him, Xiao Yan had given up cultivating the Burning Technique. Although Xiao Jue felt deeply moved, he didn't say anything more.

Because those strange flames were on his body, he couldn't really give them to Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan continued to cultivate the Burning Flame Technique, he wouldn't be able to obtain more strange flames.

Xiao Jue seemed lost in thought, wondering, "Is destiny upon me?"

The old doctor laughed and said, "Then I will accept this pill on behalf of Xiao Yan. However, when he breaks through to the Half-Saint level, I will need you to refine a Heavenly Soul Pill for him. Don't put anything random in it."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi pretended not to hear, and Xiao Jue smiled and agreed. To him, there was no difference between a Heavenly Soul Pill and a Qi Gathering Powder.

These were all pills he casually refined. Only when refining a ninth-grade Xuan pill could Xiao Jue get serious. Even Xiao Jue had to be cautious when refining a ninth-grade Jin pill.

Then, Xiao Jue revealed his most important purpose in becoming the tower master of the Pill Tower.

"Gentlemen, may I have a look at the pill formulas that the Pill Tower has accumulated over the years?"

The Pill Tower contains genuine Emperor-grade pill formulas. A thousand years ago, the master of the small Pill Tower attempted to refine Emperor-grade pills, but due to a lack of Origin Qi, he failed and the cauldron exploded, killing him in the process…

"You are now the tower master of the Pill Tower, the number one alchemist on the continent, and the main force that wiped out the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan. Whatever pill formula you want, as long as the Pill Tower has it, you can have it."

Xuan Kongzi teased, "Your master-disciple relationship isn't working out, is it? All the ninth-grade pill formulas from the Pill Tower are with Xuan Yi now, including the ninth-grade Golden Core formula. Didn't she tell you?"

When he was young, he and Xuan Yi were both disciples of the Little Pill Tower. Later, they became the three giants of the Pill Tower and have been friends for many years. So, he didn't need to consider Xuan Yi's status and strength when he spoke.

"You're not even a ninth-grade alchemist, so you'd better shut up."

Xuan Yi glared at Xuan Kongzi, then said to Xiao Jue, "Once I go back and refine the Divine Fire Nine Profound Pill, I can give you the pill formula."

"That's fine then." Xiao Jue agreed with a smile, "It just means we'll be going to the Demon Flame Space a few days later."

The meeting naturally came to an end, and everyone left one after another. Xiao Jue directly devoured the seeds of the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame, swallowing them like candy.

Leaving the small Pill Tower they once knew, they arrived at the top of the Pill Tower. That small world had many entrances, and the top of the Pill Tower was just one of them.

Xiao Jue and Xuan Yi entered the secret chamber and resumed their mutual assistance as master and disciple. With the help of Xiao Jue, a late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng, and the advanced Yin-Yang Technique of the Heaven Rank, Xuan Yi refined the ninth-grade Xuan Dan in three days, successfully breaking through to the early stage of the six-star Dou Sheng.

"I want a different kind of flame."

After handing over all the ninth-grade pill formulas from the Pill Tower to Xiao Jue, Xuan Yi reached out and drew a circle on Xiao Jue's chest, stating his request.
