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

"Just lucky, just lucky."

"I haven't been a member of Danta for very long."

"I just came to the Pill Tower a while ago to complete the eighth-grade alchemist assessment."

Upon hearing this, Wan Lingshan's face showed a hint of realization.

"No wonder I've never heard of Elder Xiao's name."

"I've been searching for medicinal herbs outside for a while, so I only just got back a couple of days ago."

As he spoke, Wanlingshan changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that."

"Is there anything here that Elder Xiao would like to see?"

Xiao Yang didn't stand on ceremony and directly pointed to the Soul Skill Illusion Spirit.

"What items does Elder Wan need in exchange for this scroll of soul skill?"

Wanlingshan looked at the Illusionary Spirit Scroll that Xiao Yang was pointing to and said with a smile.

"I obtained this scroll of soul skills by chance."

"If Elder Xiao wants it, he can exchange it for a Grade 8 Four-Colored Thunder Pill or medicinal herbs that can enhance soul power."

"Of course, if you have any main ingredients for eight- or nine-colored Dan Lei Grade 8 pills, you can use them for exchange."

"I know that this scroll of soul skills may not be as valuable as an eighth-grade pill with eight or nine colors of thunder."

"However, I have some treasured medicinal herbs and precious items that I can exchange for them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang thought for a moment and took out a refreshing herb.

This is the main ingredient of a four-colored, eight-grade elixir.

Although it is only the main ingredient of the fourth-grade Danlei pill, it can enhance soul power.

It has a significant effect even on eighth-grade alchemists.

Therefore, the value of the Awakening Grass is no less than that of the Four-Colored Thunder Eight-Grade Pill.

It might even be a little more precious.

The growing environment required for the awakening herb is very demanding.

It needs to be a place with abundant spiritual energy and a high concentration of natural energy.

Moreover, one needs to be exposed to sunlight for at least sixteen hours a day.

Furthermore, there are certain requirements regarding the land.

A single plant of the Awakening Herb takes three thousand years to grow from seed to maturity!

Xiao Yang had obtained a Spirit-Awakening Grass among the random medicinal herbs he had previously acquired.

He planted it by division and obtained many new Energizing Grass and seeds.

Xiao Yang now has seven Awakening Grass plants.

Moreover, the Awakening Grass was just one of the medicinal herbs he used to enhance his soul power.

Xiao Yang often uses intensive ripening methods on these medicinal herbs, so there are still quite a few left.

"Elder Wan, what do you think of this Awakening Grass?"

Xiao Yang opened the jade box, revealing the Awakening Grass inside.

When Wanlingshan saw the Awakening Grass inside the jade box, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"This 'Refreshing Herb' is perfectly intact; it looks as if it was just picked!"

"This scroll of Phantom Spirits is yours!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang handed the jade box to Wanling Mountain and, without any ceremony, took the Illusionary Spirit Scroll and stored it in his storage ring.

A system notification sounded in his mind.

After all, he's now used to creating tasks before buying things.

The reward for completing the quest is a medicinal herb that enhances soul power.

Xiao Yang's actions were no different from getting something for free.

The others around, especially the alchemists, looked at the jade box in Wan Lingshan's hand with a hint of longing in their eyes.

After all, such medicinal materials are extremely precious to alchemists.

In fact, some high-level seventh-grade alchemists with strong soul power might even break through to the Spirit Realm after consuming that Awakening Grass!

Unfortunately, they had nothing to exchange for this refreshing herb.

After putting the jade box away, Wan Lingshan looked at Xiao Yang with a burning gaze.

"Elder Xiao, do you see if there's anything here that you like?"

Xiao Yang had this plan all along.

He began to examine the items on the white jade platform.

The cultivation techniques and combat skills are all of the high-level Earth rank.

Xiao Yang isn't very interested in these things right now.

Then, he looked at the medicinal herbs on Wanling Mountain.

Because the time flow rate in the medicinal field space has now reached ten thousand times.

Therefore, Xiao Yang wasn't very interested in these medicinal herbs.

However, he did buy some of those special metals later on.

Anyway, it's very cheap; all you need are some seventh-grade pills.

Finally, Xiao Yang paused for a moment when he saw a seed.

The seed has a bright red surface.

It was just a single seed, yet it was as big as a baby's fist.

The seeds have some patterns on them, which look somewhat like scales.

Seeing Xiao Yang's gaze, Wan Lingshan smiled and said.

"Elder Xiao is interested in the seeds of the True Dragon Fruit?"

"This thing is a bit of a double-edged sword; it's tasteless but a pity to throw it away."

"If you want it, just give me a high-grade seventh-rank pill."

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang took out a high-grade seventh-rank pill.

"I want this dragon blood fruit seed!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yang created a task.

[Quest: Obtain one Dragon Blood Fruit seed. Reward: One portion of True Dragon Essence Blood.]

After Wanlingshan took the jade bottle containing the elixir, he handed the seed to Xiao Yang.

"This is yours."

Xiao Yang took the jade box containing the seeds and put it directly into his storage ring.

Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Obtain one Dragon Blood Fruit seed. Reward: One True Dragon Essence Blood. Completed. Claim reward?]

A hint of joy appeared in Xiao Yang's eyes.

He was very satisfied with the reward for this task.

However, he preferred the seeds of the dragon's blood fruit.

The seeds of the dragon's blood fruit are actually the kernels of the dragon's blood fruit.

Dragon blood fruit is a key ingredient in a grade nine elixir.

However, it is not a pill formula from the Dou Qi Continent, but a pill formula recorded in the Transformation Dragon Technique.

The Dragon Transformation Manual contains three elixir formulas used to complement the practice of the Dragon Transformation Manual.

Even the worst of the three pill formulas is a Grade Nine Precious Pill!

The strongest is the ninth-grade golden elixir.

Dragon's blood fruit is a top-grade medicinal herb.

However, in the eyes of some alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent, the Dragon Blood Fruit is merely the main ingredient of the Dragon Blood Pill, an eighth-grade pill made from nine-colored Dan Lei.

Dragon Blood Pill can improve the physical condition of the user.

The kernel, or seed, of the Dragon Blood Fruit can be used to refine an eighth-grade elixir of three-colored thunder.

Its function is also to improve physical fitness.

However, it probably won't be of much use to Xiao Yang.

After all, Xiao Yang's physique was too strong.

As for why dragon's blood fruit seeds are considered useless.

The reason is that the eighth-grade three-colored pills are not very effective in improving the physique of a Dou Zun.

However, it takes several thousand years to grow Dragon Blood Fruit!

Moreover, dragon blood fruit needs to be planted on land that has been soaked in dragon blood!

It can't be those ordinary dragon-type magical beasts; it has to be land stained with the blood of at least an eighth-tier dragon-type magical beast!

However, Xiao Yang knew one more thing.

That is, the effect of dragon's blood fruit is related to the dragon's blood that the soil is soaked in, as well as the age of the fruit.
