Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

Xiao Yan stared in disbelief at everything before him.

Chapter 30 Beginner's Guide to Alchemy

No, buddy, I gave you this, didn't I?

We practiced for about the same amount of time, and I also had a teacher to guide me.

What makes you think you possess such terrifying power?

Let's shut it down, it's pointless.

"This...this...Brother Yang, you..."

Looking at the broken tree in front of him and the wood chips around him, Xiao Yan stammered.

Xiao Yang touched his nose and said.

"Cough cough, I recently broke through to the Dou Zhe level by luck, and I can now unleash the fifth level of Dark Force in the Eight Extremes Collapse."

Upon hearing that Xiao Yang had broken through to the Dou Zhe level, Xiao Yan's expression crumbled once again.

No, it's really open!

"Brother Yang, you...you've broken through to the Dou Zhe level?!"

Xiao Yan's voice unconsciously rose several pitches, and his voice became somewhat distorted.

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Xiao Yang said with a smile.

For some reason, Xiao Yan felt that Xiao Yang's words sounded somewhat familiar at this moment.

He had some doubts: Could Xiao Yang also have a soul body?

"Brother Yang, how did you do that?"

He hesitated for a moment, then asked anyway.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I recently became an apprentice of an alchemist."

"However, the other party doesn't like to show their face, so I didn't tell anyone about it."

"I came to the back mountain today to find a quiet cave to start learning how to make medicine."

"My teacher gave me some things and then left."

The more Xiao Yan listened, the more familiar the script seemed.

"You...I...Congratulations, Brother Yang, on becoming an apprentice of an alchemist."

"So, Yang-ge, will you become an alchemist later on?"

Xiao Yang nodded.

"Yes, my teacher has prepared some beginner alchemy materials for me so I can practice on my own."

Then, he had a sudden inspiration and said...

"Once you break through to the Dou Zhe level, if your attributes are suitable, I can also give you something to try becoming an alchemist."

He suddenly remembered that he also had a fourth-grade alchemist's alchemy manual.

If I give it to Xiao Yan, I should be able to get some rewards in return.

Xiao Yan didn't seem to care much when he heard this.

After all, with the existence of the Medicine Master, he could also become an alchemist.

What he's more curious about now is how Xiao Yang quickly cultivated the Eight Extremes Collapse to the point of possessing five levels of hidden strength.

He himself knew how difficult it was to cultivate the Eight Extremes Collapse.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

"By the way, Yang-ge, how did you cultivate the Eight Extremes Collapse?"

"I've cultivated for so long, and I'm only barely able to use it now."

Although Yao Lao is powerful and has a high level of insight, he can guide Xiao Yan in cultivating the Eight Extremes Collapse.

However, in reality, even the old master himself had never practiced the Eight Extremes Collapse.

After all, what level was Yao Lao at back then?

He didn't think much of the Xuan-level combat skill, Eight Extremes Collapse.

Therefore, when Yao Lao gives guidance to Xiao Yan now, it is only from the perspective of a peak Dou Zun expert.

In terms of familiarity with the Eight Extremes Collapse, he might not even be as familiar as Xiao Yang.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang attempted to create a task.

[Task: Instruct Xiao Yan on the Eight Extremes Collapse technique and impart your experience in cultivating it. Reward: Luck +1, Comprehension +1, Eight Extremes Collapse Proficiency +1]

His eyes lit up when he saw the mission reward.

Great, this is much easier than completing the proficiency tasks.

In addition, there are attribute rewards for luck and comprehension.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang told Xiao Yan all his insights about the Eight Extremes Collapse.

Xiao Yan also benefited greatly.

After all, although Yao Lao had a high standard, he had never actually cultivated the Eight Extremes Collapse.

He would occasionally demonstrate it to Xiao Yan.

At the same time, it will also point out some of Xiao Yan's mistakes.

Xiao Yang, whose mastery of the Eight Extremes Collapse technique has reached its peak, could easily give him some pointers.

He then spent a full half hour instructing Xiao Yan before it ended.

"Alright, these are my insights. I'm going to find a cave to try refining medicine."

He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Instruct Xiao Yan on the Eight Extremes Collapse technique, imparting to him your experience in cultivating it. Reward: Luck +1, Comprehension +1, Eight Extremes Collapse Proficiency +1. Completed. Claim reward?]

"Thank you, Brother Yang. I know there's a cave in the back mountain that's perfect for you to refine medicine."

Because he frequently visited the back mountain, Xiao Yan was very familiar with the place.

He directly told Xiao Yang the location of a cave.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang bid him farewell and headed towards the cave.

"Tsk tsk, this little guy has quite a talent. Not only is his soul power strong, but he also has the fire and wood attributes."

"Moreover, being able to cultivate five levels of internal strength in such a short time shows that one has good comprehension."

"He might actually be able to become an alchemist in a short period of time."

"I just don't know what rank his teacher is."

Sensing Xiao Yang's departure, Yao Lao no longer concealed his intentions.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Teacher, when do you think I'll be able to break through to the Dou Zhe level and start trying to refine medicine?"

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan.

"you?"

"You should focus on cultivating your battle qi for now. Once you reach the ninth level of battle qi, I will refine a Qi Gathering Powder for you."

"Even with the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it might still take more than half a year."

Xiao Yan did not feel disappointed upon hearing this.

At this moment, his eyes were full of fighting spirit. He was determined to break through to the Dou Zhe level as soon as possible and learn alchemy!

……

Soon, Xiao Yang arrived at the cave that Xiao Yan had mentioned.

The entire cave was very clean, suggesting that Xiao Yan frequented it.

There's also a huge rock at the entrance; we can pull it over to block the cave.

After lighting the oil lamp left by Xiao Yan in the cave, they blocked the cave entrance with a boulder.

He immediately claimed the reward for the task he had just completed.

Then, he took out a red medicine cauldron and several herbs from his storage ring.

The medicine cauldron is about half a meter tall, with two exquisitely carved dragon heads at the bottom.

The top of the medicine cauldron has a lid and a special hole for putting in medicinal herbs.

In addition, there are small holes made of a special material on the lid of the cauldron, which are used for heat dissipation.

In the center of the medicine cauldron is a transparent mirror made of a special material, from which he can see the condition of the medicinal materials inside.

Xiao Yang did not immediately begin attempting to refine medicine, but instead first established a mission.

After all, his biggest advantage is the system, so he definitely needs to make good use of it.

[Task: Refine ten medicinal herbs; Reward: Fire Control Proficiency +1]

[Task: Test the medicinal properties of ten herbs; Reward: Pharmacology Proficiency +1]

[Task: Refine a portion of Blood Coagulation Powder. Reward: Grade 1 Pill Proficiency +1, one Blood Crystal Bamboo stalk]

[Task: Become a first-grade alchemist. Reward: Basic alchemy talent +1, "Spiritual Plant Techniques"]

Just as Xiao Yang was staring blankly at the reward, the system panel began to show some changes.

Soon, Xiao Yang, who was looking at the task list rewards, also noticed the changes in the system panel.
