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

Chapter 66 The Mo Family of Yancheng

The old apothecary was speechless for a moment. He was still a kind-hearted man after all, but he couldn't compare to Xiao Jue's shamelessness. He waved his hand and threw three jade bottles at him.

"These are three Earth Core Pills. I'm keeping one to help Xiao Yan devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame later."

The so-called seventh-grade elixir, Earth Core Pill, is to some extent a weakened version of the eighth-grade elixir, Azure Lotus Pill. One is made using an Azure Lotus Platform, while the other is made using lotus seeds.

Both have the effect of improving physical condition and enhancing talent, and can also enhance fire attribute battle qi. However, taking the eighth-grade Azure Lotus Pill can obtain the Azure Lotus Fire Spirit Body, while taking the Earth Core Pill will only enhance fire attribute battle qi and at the same time enhance the affinity with Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

These two types of pills do not have any requirements on strength when taken, and are somewhat similar to pills for Foundation Establishment.

Xiao Jue asked, "Is the next step to have Xiao Yan devour the secondary flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"

"That's right." Yao Lao nodded. "Let Xiao Yan devour the sub-flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. By the time he reaches the three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan's strength should be able to rise to the level of a four-star Great Dou Master."

Xiao Jue nodded and smiled, "Then see you in the capital. After Xiao Yan absorbs the two sub-flames, you'll probably need to let him hone his skills for a while longer, and teach him alchemy as well. I'll go to the capital and wait for you."

"it is good."

The old doctor returned the Yin-Yang Cauldron to Xiao Jue. Afterwards, Xiao Jue found Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan, bid them farewell, and told Xiao Yan that after they reunited in the capital, he headed towards Yancheng.

The Mo family's secret technique allows one to transplant parts of a magical beast's body onto their own. Xiao Jue thought of Feng Qing'er in the future, who fused with the remains of an ancient celestial phoenix.

Xiao Jue was also a human who fused with the essence of a magical beast, but instead became a magical beast, possessing the bloodline and original form of the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast. Who knows if there are any flaws in what the Yin-Yang Saint left behind? Xiao Jue had a plan to prepare for the future and prepared to go to the Mo family to see their secret technique.

While the Yin-Yang Saint's legacy is certainly not weak, frankly speaking, it's nothing more than an ant that Xiao Xuan casually killed. What will help Xiao Jue stand at the top of the Dou Qi Continent in the future is definitely the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Therefore, the bloodline of the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast is extremely important to him.

……

A streak of light flashed across the night sky, and the silver moon gradually set high above.

Yancheng, located in the eastern province of the Jiama Empire, is a strategically important city with a wide road connecting the empire to the eastern province. As a result, this city, which is known as the largest city in the eastern province of the Jiama Empire, has been controlled by a large number of imperial troops for many years.

In Yancheng, apart from the power of the empire, the most powerful force is naturally the Mohist school, which is Xiao Jue's target on this trip!

Due to the Mo family's domineering monopoly, nearly 60% of the industries in Yancheng belonged to the Mo family. Even after deducting necessary taxes and a large amount of wealth used to cultivate relationships, the annual profits still made the Mo family increasingly wealthy.

Although a tall tree is prone to attracting the wind, with the behemoth Yunlan Sect as their backing, even the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire would not easily cause trouble for the Mo family.

Therefore, with such unbridled development, the Mo family's power has almost become the local overlord of Yancheng. If it weren't for the other three families in the eastern provinces keeping it in check, the Mo family would probably have expanded its territory to other major cities long ago.

Even so, in recent years, the Mo family, relying on its powerful backing, has steadily suppressed the three major families, appearing as a dominant force.

After a day of high-speed flight, Xiao Jue finally approached the area of ​​Yancheng. When the silver moon in the sky was replaced by the blazing sun, the outline of a huge city exuding a fierce aura finally appeared at the edge of the horizon.

Under the sunlight shining from the sky, the vast city in the distance looked like an ancient, ferocious beast lying prone on the ground.

Xiao Jue flew to the city and descended from the sky. At the city gate, dozens of fully armed soldiers stood on both sides of the city wall, their sharp eyes constantly scanning the passersby.

Upon seeing Xiao Jue, they all lowered their heads in unison, regarding him as a mysterious Dou Wang powerhouse. Some even went to their superiors to report the arrival of the mysterious Dou Wang.

"Sigh, what a grand display. The Mo family truly lives up to its reputation as the largest family in Yancheng."

Xiao Jue overheard several men dressed in mercenary uniforms whispering among themselves, perhaps out of boredom.

"Hehe, next week seems to be the birthday of Mo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Mo Clan, right? I heard that not only many forces in the eastern region are coming to celebrate, but even the Yunlan Sect has sent people over."

"Oh? The Yunlan Sect has sent people too? Mo Cheng has quite the influence."

A mercenary curled his lip in disdain and said, "Although the Mo family is powerful, what is it in the eyes of the Yunlan Sect? If it weren't for the enormous tribute the Mo family pays to the Yunlan Sect every year, would they, with their limited perspective, even bother to deal with the Mo family?"

"Hehe, that's true." Several mercenaries seemed to have little interest in the Mo family, and they all chuckled in agreement.

Xiao Jue couldn't help but curl up his lips. Mo Cheng, that idiot, had already died at his hands, yet the Mo family was still preparing a birthday banquet for him?

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far behind. Turning his head, he saw several men and women riding fine horses galloping towards him.

The dust kicked up along the way infuriated the people waiting in line, but when their angry gazes fell on the first figure on horseback, they forcibly swallowed their anger.

The first person to ride a horse was a young woman. She wore a tight-fitting red dress that accentuated her exquisite figure. Her face was quite pretty, and a small crystal pendant adorned her smooth forehead. As it swayed slightly, it added a touch of liveliness to her face, which held a hint of spoiled charm.

The woman in red did not linger on the inconvenience her horse caused to the people in line. After merely glancing at them, she raised her head high and said to Xiao Jue, "Get out of my way! How dare you block my path!"

Xiao Jue asked curiously, "What is your relationship with Mo Cheng?"

The woman in red couldn't help but frown. A young man beside her shouted, "Ling Lin is the second young lady of the Mo family. Boy, get out of the way right now, or don't blame us if you get run over by a horse."

"I heard that the head of the Mo family was bullied by Mo Cheng, so their relationship must not be very good." Xiao Jue said with a playful expression. With a wave of his hand, Mo Linglin flew down from her horse and was embraced by Xiao Jue.
