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

Chapter 80 Like teacher, like student

"I've found you a sub-flame of a strange fire. You can't refine the real strange fire yet, but the sub-flame is fine. The sub-flame that devours the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame will further temper and improve the quality of your battle qi. Taking pills to break through won't have much of an impact."

"The sub-flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"

Yao Yue looked delighted and jumped off the bed, her fair little feet landing on the ground. She was about to pounce on Xiao Jue when she remembered that Xiao Jue was still refining pills. She stood there, looking at Xiao Jue with longing eyes.

"Sit on the bed obediently, the pill will be ready soon." Xiao Jue said without turning his head. He had already successfully extracted all the medicinal materials and was now condensing the pill.

"Okay." Yaoyue nodded obediently, walked back and sat on the bed, her little feet swinging, her eyes always fixed on Xiao Jue.

A moment later, the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill was successfully refined. Xiao Jue waved his hand gently, and the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill flew towards Yao Yue and landed in her hand. Xiao Jue then took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Yao Yue.

"Just consume and refine them directly," Xiao Jue said. "First, take the Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill, and then take the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill."

"Thank you, teacher!" Yaoyue threw herself into Xiao Jue's arms. Xiao Jue sat cross-legged in front of the Yin-Yang Cauldron, and she sat facing him in his lap.

Looking at her teacher so close to her, Yaoyue's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she lowered her head shyly, lost in thought.

"Go and take the pills quickly," Xiao Jue said gently. "I'll refine a Blood Lotus Pill for you. Once you take the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill to break through to the fourth-star Great Dou Master level, you'll be able to devour the sub-flame of the Strange Flame."

"Okay~" Yaoyue got up, took her little feet back to the bed, adjusted her breathing, and swallowed the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.

After Xiao Jue circulated his cultivation technique and restored his fighting spirit, he took out the ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill. After taking a deep breath, Xiao Jue began to refine the pill.

……

Next came the sub-flame that helped Yaoyue refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. With Queen Medusa's crystal lotus throne and a large amount of icy spring water, Yaoyue easily devoured the sub-flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

However, perhaps because she had not cultivated the Burning Technique, or perhaps because the fire seed was relatively weak and its energy was very weak, Yao Yue's strength did not increase much after absorbing the sub-fire, and she remained at the level of a four-star Great Dou Master.

However, having previously taken the Earth Core Pill to establish her foundation, and possessing the Different Flame Sub-Flame, Yao Yue's fighting spirit had also been tempered to a very strong level. Xiao Jue picked and chose in his storage ring, took out a red scroll, and handed it to Yao Yue.

"This is the Azure Flame Technique, a low-level Earth-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique. It is perfectly compatible with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. If you possess the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, this technique can even rival a mid-level Earth-rank technique. Since you have the sub-flame of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, you can also achieve this."

"Earth-rank cultivation technique!" Yao Yue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly, hugging Xiao Jue tightly and tiptoeing closer to him.

*Smack!*

Seeing the little princess shyly turn away after taking the cultivation manual, Xiao Jue chuckled and said to her, "Go back to your room and practice your cultivation manual first. I'm going out for a bit. When I come back, I can teach you how to refine a fourth-grade alchemist."

"Moon knows."

Yao Yue responded without turning her head, and her steps as she walked back to her room looked like she was fleeing in a panic.

Xiao Jue put away the remaining Ice Spirit Cold Spring and Crystal Lotus Platform, then spread his dragon wings and flew directly to Xiao Yan's side.

Young Master Xiao is currently refining pills under the guidance of Elder Yao, accompanied by a reprimand: "When you arrive in Zhongzhou, don't even mention that you are my disciple. It's one thing if you can't even compare to Xiao Jue, but how come you're not even as good as that bastard Han Feng?"

"With two kinds of different flames and three beast flames, they still can't refine a mere fourth-grade pill. When Xiao Jue and Han Feng broke through to the Great Dou Master level, they were able to refine fourth-grade pills at will."

Seeing Xiao Yan touching his nose and smiling bitterly, Xiao Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You're really in a bad situation, Elder Yao. Lower your expectations of Xiao Yan. He's only a Great Dou Master."

"Han Feng and I are special cases after all. Han Feng has been learning alchemy since childhood, while Xiao Yan has only been learning alchemy for a little over two years. Moreover, I have just become a Great Dou Master and have only refined Qi Gathering Powder, Beast Power Pill, and Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill. I have never refined the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill."

Hearing Xiao Jue say this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but roll his eyes. He almost really thought he was inferior to Han Feng, but now it seems that he was only inferior to Xiao Jue, and not even that much worse than Xiao Jue.

"Hmph." The old medicine master snorted lightly and asked, "Did your little apprentice successfully devour the sub-fire?"

"Mm." Xiao Jue nodded and handed the remaining Ice Spirit Cold Spring and Crystal Lotus Platform to Yao Lao.

"Start with the simpler ones," Xiao Jue said to Xiao Yan. "Qi Gathering Powder, Beast Power Pill, Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill... there's no need to refine the most difficult Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill."

Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "It's not like I'll stop giving you the Strange Flame just because you can't win the Alchemist Tournament."

Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose, and Yao Lao also gave a wry smile, "I've also fallen into demonic possession, just like this kid Xiao Yan. When I hear about strange fire, I always think about sparing no effort and wanting to fight with all my might."

A look of sadness appeared on Yao Lao's face. He had scolded Xiao Yan for acting like he was possessed by a demon when he heard about the strange fire, but wasn't it also because of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that his teacher lost his life?

The latest novel is first published here!

"You should refine the Qi Gathering Powder first, Elder Yao. I have something to tell you." Xiao Jue gave Xiao Yan three portions of the Qi Gathering Powder ingredients and then left the room.

When Yao Lao and Xiao Jue arrived in the courtyard, Yao Lao asked, "What do you want to say to me?"

"I would like to ask Elder Yao to help me kill someone," Xiao Jue said. "The Protector Wu of the Soul Palace. He was hiding in the Yunlan Sect and helped the previous sect leader, Yun Shan, break through to the Dou Zong realm, but he tampered with his soul."

Xiao Jue looked embarrassed. "I have some entanglements with Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, and Nalan Yanran, so I want to help Yunlan Sect."

Yao Lao said with a playful tone, "Is it really just some entanglement? You'll probably have to explain to Xiao Yan."

"Xiao Yan won't care about these things." Xiao Jue laughed freely. "Besides these, after the three-year agreement ends, we can go back to the Xiao family and then head to Canaan Academy. In the Black Corner Region, I'd like to ask Elder Yao to help me kill a few people."

"Also, there's the Heavenly Rank Battle Skill, Ghost Possession. Afterwards, I'll spar with Guild Master Fa Ma on alchemy. I want to borrow Elder Yao's power to refine the Imperial Extreme Pill."

"What ghost possession? You little rascal!" Yao Lao laughed and scolded, "Just come find me when the time comes, and you can borrow my soul power as you please."

Seeing that Xiao Jue was still looking at him awkwardly, Yao Lao asked, "Is there anything else you need to trouble me with? Please tell me all at once."

"I would like to ask Elder Yao to help me refine ten Grade Six pills." Xiao Jue grinned and handed the formula for the Hunyuan Bone-Shaping Pill and Yao Chen to Elder Yao.
