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

Chapter 62 Angel Investors

"A strange fire!?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan became excited and drew the Xuan Heavy Ruler from his back, shouting, "Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!"

With a flick of his ruler, Xiao Yan sent Xiao Li flying. He then slung the Xuan Heavy Ruler back over his shoulder and jumped down, excitedly asking, "Can I devour the strange fire now?"

"Good lad, you were just letting your second brother win." Xiao Ding patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with a wry smile and said, "Looks like even your eldest brother isn't a match for you anymore."

"Luckily...cough cough!" Xiao Yan touched his nose, his eyes fixed on Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue looked at Xiao Ding and said, "Xiao Yan and I will leave first. You two can spar."

"Alright." Xiao Ding nodded, knowing they had important matters to attend to, and did not insist that they stay to participate in the next competition.

After the two left, they arrived at a spacious courtyard. Xiao Yan excitedly asked, "When do we start absorbing the different flames? Should we absorb the secondary flames of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames first, or the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame you found for me?"

"What does the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame look like? Can I take a look first?"

"Calm down." Yao Lao slowly appeared and scolded Xiao Yan, "Look at you now, how are you any different from Han Feng? You act like you've gone mad just from hearing about strange fire."

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and awkwardly touched his nose. He seemed to have gone a little crazy. He had previously devoured three beast fires, one of which was a sub-fire of a ninth-order beast fire. Each time he devoured a beast fire, it could increase his strength.

Devouring strange flames would inevitably increase one's strength, and by experiencing pain, one could enhance one's power—Xiao Yan was truly addicted to it.

"When you become a fifth-grade alchemist, I will let you devour the complete Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. For now, prepare to devour the sub-flames of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames."

After reprimanding Xiao Yan, Yao Lao said in a gentle tone, "It's not good for you to devour too many flames in a short period of time. Although Xiao Jue's Yin-Yang Twin Flames are ranked twenty-first, they have been elevated to a level comparable to the top ten flames on the Strange Flame Ranking. After that, you can devour the sub-flames of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."

"If you can devour the sub-flames of these two strange flames and fuse them together, their power will definitely be no weaker than the real strange flames, and your strength will also increase significantly."

"Before your three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran is fulfilled, I am confident that I can raise your strength to the level of Great Dou Master."

"I understand." Xiao Yan nodded seriously. "I was indeed a bit impatient. If it weren't for your guidance, teacher, I might still be obsessed with absorbing flames to become stronger."

"Becoming stronger by absorbing flames isn't necessarily a bad thing," Yao Lao shook his head. "The main problem is that with Xiao Jue around, you can practically keep absorbing flames to become stronger, and that's what's really bad for you."

"Every time you become stronger, you have to go through the tempering of real combat in order to solidify your fighting spirit and make your foundation solid."

"If it weren't for your three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran, I wouldn't have let you take pills to increase your strength. Enough said, prepare to devour the strange fire."

Yao Lao chuckled. With his soul power now comparable to a Dou Zun, he could easily help Xiao Yan restrain the power of the strange fire, allowing him to devour the strange fire within this room without affecting anything outside.

Xiao Jue handed over the Crystal Lotus Throne and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to Yao Lao, and then began to separate the sub-flames of the Yin and Yang Twin Flames.

After the sub-fire separated, Xiao Jue immediately took a Grade 5 Injury Recovery Pill made by Yao Lao to recover.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan sat on the crystal lotus seat, which absorbed the icy spring water. Xiao Yan was almost frozen into an ice block in an instant, and then he began to refine the sub-flames of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

After consuming the Naling and Blood Lotus Pills and drinking half a bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Xiao Yan successfully refined the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, frantically compressing the Dou Qi within his body. His strength increased from a five-star Dou Shi to a seven-star Dou Shi, and the Burning Technique evolved to the low-level Xuan rank.

"Let's stop here for now." The old apothecary put away the remaining Ice Spirit Cold Spring and Crystal Lotus Seat, and said, "To alleviate the conflict between the two different flames, we need to use the sixth-grade pill, Cold Marrow Pill, to suppress the power of one of the flames. Once I have refined this pill, you can devour the sub-flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."

"Xiao Jue, please take care of Xiao Yan during this time," Yao Lao said with a light laugh. "There are still more than half a year until his three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran. Give him a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill to help Xiao Yan break through to the Great Dou Master level, and then let him undergo practical combat training."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded, took out the ingredients for the Earth Spirit Pill and handed them to the old doctor, thanking Gu Yuan once again, who was practically an angel investor!

Soul Emperor: Siege of Xiao Xuan! A Millennium Situation! The Gate of Deathly Silence! The Living Corpse Battle Saint! Void Devouring Flame! Exterminating the Clan and Seizing the Jade! The Gate to the Secret Realm! The Divine Technique of Core Formation! Devouring the Central Plains! Soul Devouring and Life-Severing! The Blood Emperor's Body! Slaying the Emperor's Ghost Blood! The Entire Clan Sacrifice!

Gu Yuan: Slacking off, having babies. Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest!

If it weren't for Gu Yuan providing so many medicinal herbs, being his angel investor, and having his daughter Xun'er, Xiao Jue's opinion of him would definitely be that of a withered bone in a tomb.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Jue asked, "Elder Yao, can you now refine an eighth-grade pill to withstand the pill lightning of an eighth-grade pill?"

"It's a bit difficult." The old doctor chuckled. "I only have my soul left. I can use my soul power instead of battle qi to refine pills, but resisting pill lightning is a big problem. At most, I can only refine rank 8 pills with six-colored pill lightning."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue's eyes lit up. He took out four jade bottles and a large amount of medicinal herbs and handed them to the old doctor. Among the medicinal herbs that Gu Yuan had given him, he could only gather enough for four portions of the seventh-grade pill, the Earth Core Pill.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Then Elder Yao, please refine four Earth Core Pills for me. One of them will be perfect for Xiao Yan to absorb the sub-flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."

The old apothecary chuckled thoughtfully as he accepted the medicinal herbs Xiao Jue gave him, saying, "Give me the Yin-Yang Cauldron. I'll find a place to refine pills. The pill lightning used to refine seventh-grade pills is too noisy and not suitable for refining in Stone Desert City."

The old doctor then left with the Yin-Yang Cauldron. Xiao Jue looked at Xiao Yan, who was staring at him expectantly, and tossed him a jade bottle, saying irritably, "This contains the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. Hurry up and take it to break through to the Great Dou Master level."

When Xiao Yan broke through to become a Dou Zhe, Xiao Jue was already a Da Dou Shi. When Xiao Jue broke through to become a one-star Dou Ling, Xiao Yan was only a seven-star Dou Zhe. Now that Xiao Yan is about to become a Da Dou Shi, Xiao Jue is still only a one-star Dou Ling.

It must be said that the Burning Technique is truly a unique and advantageous cultivation method. After cultivating it, as long as one can obtain a different kind of fire, one can become a Dou Di without any obstacles.

However, there was also a reason why Xiao Jue was not in a hurry to break through. Otherwise, if Xiao Jue had taken the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, he could at least have broken through to the Three-Star Dou Ling level by now, and could have continued to break through by taking other pills.

Watching Xiao Yan begin to take the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill to break through, Xiao Jue placed his hand on the seven-colored snake and stroked it. If he could obtain Queen Medusa, his strength would definitely increase dramatically.
