The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

"The Medicine Alliance?!" Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yu Bohao's mind, and he was shocked. "Brother Xiao, could you be that newly promoted expert in the inner court who has the titles of 'God of Dog Food' and 'Strongest Cannon King'?"

"Uh, I guess so," Xiao Xuanyuan said with a dark expression, but he still nodded with difficulty. Now he was famous in the inner academy, and there was no student who didn't know him. In particular, there were nicknames given to him, such as "Strongest Cannon King," which implied that his skills in that area were so good that he even managed to win over his master, and "Dog Food God of War," which meant that his strength in the inner academy was very strong and almost unmatched.

There is a ranking list in the inner courtyard, with fifty people. Most people don't know who is the number one on the list, but everyone recognizes the second to tenth place, namely Lin Xiuya, Baqiang Liuqing and others. The strongest of these students is only a peak Dou Ling expert. However, Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Yan used the ability of Dou Qi to transform into wings in their first battle. This is a skill that only Dou Wang level experts have.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan's current title of "God of Dog Food" is well-deserved!

"Disrespect, disrespect!"

After learning Xiao Xuanyuan's true identity, Yu Bohao became even more respectful. After exchanging a few polite words, he revealed his small group, "Brother Xiao, our team is called Earth Star. If you need anything, just come to us! We can't promise anything else, but if it's something we can help you with, we'll do anything, even die for it."

Seeing the other party's attempt to win him over, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded without saying anything more. What a joke! With his current status as a sixth-grade alchemist, he could go anywhere without being overly influential. Even Dou Zong-level experts would treat him with utmost respect. The old scoundrel Zhang Cangwu was a prime example.

"Who are you?" Just then, a group of seventy or eighty people forcefully pushed their way in from outside, walked up to the Medicine Alliance, and stared at the Medicine Alliance members with sinister expressions and ill intentions.

Hearing someone speaking behind him, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around, and Yu Bohao, whom he had just met, stepped forward and blocked his way. "Liu Qing, this is Brother Xiao, an ally of our Earth Star. We hope you will give Earth Star some face and clear this territory for the Medicine Alliance."

"Brother Xiao, who is this? Don't you recognize him? Face? Heh heh, why should I give you face? I'm telling you, are you from Earth courting death? You dare to mess with the tiger's head? You're tired of living!" A young man in his twenties with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes stepped out from the group of seventy or eighty people. He had an explosive and fierce aura about him, and his figure was as upright as a domineering javelin. He exuded a sharp aura like a sword being drawn from its sheath.

"What nonsense are you spouting? If you've got the guts, let's have a go!" The young man named Liu Qing was extremely domineering. With a wave of his hand, the seventy or eighty people behind him dispersed and surrounded the two teams from the Medicine Alliance and Earth Star.

Seeing Liu Qing and the Fierce Eagle team members behind him acting so domineeringly, Yu Bohao's face turned pale with anger. It was undeniable that Liu Qing was very strong, otherwise he wouldn't be ranked third on the inner court's strength list. His ranking on the strength list showed his status in the inner court, and almost no one dared to provoke him.

Although Earth Star has become a first-class power because it has three Dou Ling, its strength is worlds apart from that of the Fierce Eagle. Liu Qing alone can crush the three strongest fighters on their side. However, Yu Bohao thought again that Brother Xiao is a sixth-grade alchemist. In order to curry favor with him, it would be worth offending Liu Qing!

With gritted teeth, Yu Bohao said defiantly, "Liu Qing, I admit you are very strong, but there are always people stronger than you, and there is always a higher level to reach. Today, Brother Xiao is occupying this area, and no matter what, we on Earth will stand on his side."

"Since you Earthlings are courting death, don't blame us, the Fierce Eagles, for bullying you." With a wave of his hand, Liu Qing summoned a long spear with a deep, dark black hue. This spear was forged entirely from deep-sea black iron, with extraterrestrial black iron and other materials added during its forging to increase its hardness and toughness. It was indestructible, and Liu Qing had used it to subdue countless opponents.

Seeing that their leader had taken out his weapon, the members of the Fierce Eagles team also took out their weapons, ready to take action as soon as Liu Qing gave the order.

"Liu Qing, is it? Looks like you've got guts!"

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, neither willing to yield, an untimely voice rang out casually. Xiao Xuanyuan strolled out from behind the crowd at a leisurely pace. His calm and composed demeanor made it seem as if he were simply taking a stroll in a back garden if the atmosphere had been tense and both sides had drawn their weapons.

---Aside---

Our pretentious male lead, Xiao Xuanyuan, is back again.

Chapter Six: The Terrified Iron Pillar

The members of the Medicine Alliance are all alchemists from the Medicine Refining Valley. They spend most of their time either refining medicine or on their way to refine medicine. They study and tinker with medicinal materials every day, which is why their alchemy skills are constantly improving. However, they lack combat talent and practical experience, which is their weakness.

This time, Xiao Xuanyuan brought them out of the Alchemy Valley with the aim of comprehensively improving their strength and making up for their shortcomings. However, when faced with the siege of Liu Qing's Fierce Eagle team, although they also took out their weapons, most of the alchemists couldn't help but sweat and turn pale when faced with the terrifying aura of these students who were used to fighting and tearing each other apart.

Xiao Xuanyuan glanced back and shook his head slightly. These idiots must lack exercise, otherwise why would they be so cowardly?

Especially that tall and burly guy named Tiezhu, his crotch was wet, and the damp, warm water seemed to be dripping down his trouser legs onto the ground.

Damn it, this is so embarrassing!

Xiao Xuanyuan slapped his forehead, turned away, and couldn't help but think about how to find an excuse to kick him out of the Medicine Alliance after the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower came out. If this kind of guy was still in the team, the entire Medicine Alliance would lose face.

Liu Qing was initially curious about Xiao Xuanyuan's leisurely stroll, wondering who dared to be so calm in front of him, especially a young man he had never met before. He was temporarily puzzled and was quite taken aback.

A moment later, one of the sharp-eyed members of the Fierce Eagles team spotted Tie Zhu's cowardly appearance and pointed at him in astonishment, exclaiming, "Did he pee his pants?" The teammates next to him also looked in the direction he was pointing, and when they saw Tie Zhu's "miserable state," the tall, burly man, who was 1.89 meters tall, was so frightened that he had wet himself!

"Haha, how did you Earthlings end up with a team like this? You were scared to death! Are you trying to make us laugh?! Haha!"

Some of the Fiery Eagles burst into laughter, and then countless eyes turned to Tie Zhu. After seeing his miserable state, they couldn't help but laugh. Even the Earth Star members who had just been allied with the Medicine Alliance looked at Tie Zhu with disgust and disdain, keeping their distance and leaving him standing there all alone. A cool breeze blew by, making the scene even more awkward and desolate.

Xiao Xuanyuan had just managed to step forward and calm the situation, but because of this clown Tie Zhu, the Medicine Alliance instantly became a laughingstock, ridiculed and mocked by all the members of the Fierce Eagle Alliance. They lost all face, and even their allies from Earth Star avoided them, their faces dark with displeasure. Yu Bohao's previously righteous indignation instantly crumbled. His face twitched uncontrollably as he looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with a dark expression, "Brother Xiao, is this a member of your Medicine Alliance?"

Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes twitched wildly. He had already cursed Tie Zhu's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. His face was as black as charcoal. He waved his hand with difficulty to the Medicine Alliance members, "Which shameless person has infiltrated our Medicine Alliance team? Lu Mu, find a few people to throw him out for me."

"Yes!"

All the members of the Medicine Alliance wore sour faces, their eyes filled with malice, disgust, or contempt as they looked at Tie Zhu, keeping their distance. But after Xiao Xuanyuan gave the order, Lu Mu directed several members to pinch their noses and rush forward, grabbing Tie Zhu's burly body and throwing him out amidst his cries of pain and pleas for mercy. Even the Fierce Eagle team members cooperated by making way for Tie Zhu, allowing the Medicine Alliance to throw him out smoothly.

"Leader, please spare me! I didn't mean to! There were just too many of them, I was terrified, my body went out of control, I had no choice."

Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan remained unmoved with a dark expression throughout, Tie Zhu finally let out a heart-wrenching scream, struggling violently as he screamed, "Alliance Leader, I know you're retaliating against me, retaliating against me for publicly scorning you and Elder Nangong for showing off your love, but you stole my goddess, and I just can't accept it! You're a bad person! You stole Elder Nangong, and you even showed off your love in public, hurting my heart!"

As Tie Zhu screamed and roared in agony, Xiao Xuanyuan's face, which was already as black as charcoal, grew even darker, becoming as black as ink, pure, deep, and losing all its original color. In his mind, Xiao Xuanyuan was already cursing Tie Zhu's ancestors for eighteen generations. Damn it, this is too shameful, utterly shameful!

"Damn it! You still have the nerve to say that! You're not ashamed, but we are! It's so embarrassing!" The members of the Medicine Alliance who were holding onto Tie Zhu's struggling limbs couldn't stand it anymore. With a fierce palm strike, they knocked Tie Zhu unconscious.

The world is finally quiet!

The members of the Medicine Alliance couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Having such a "troublesome teammate" by their side was like a time bomb, and they didn't know when it would explode, causing their teammates to suffer terribly!

"I didn't expect your team to have such an oddball. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really hilarious, I can't help but burst out laughing." Liu Qing swept his fierce gaze over Xiao Xuanyuan and sneered.

"Is that so? Then this Alliance Leader would like to see what you, the third on the Strong Ranking, are capable of!" Yu Bohao had just told him about the other party's identity, so Xiao Xuanyuan naturally knew the origin of this domineering young man in front of him.

"Then let's settle this with our fists," Liu Qing was about to continue his threats and prepare to fight when suddenly, someone poked him from behind. "Who the hell is that? Looking for death?"

Liu Fei pointed to the badge on Xiao Xuanyuan's left chest, her face showing some grievance, and said, "Cousin, that looks like an alchemist's badge! It's not the same badge as our team!"

"Hmm?" Hearing his pretty cousin's soft muttering, Liu Qing turned his head to look at the badge on Xiao Xuanyuan's left chest. It was a medicine cauldron with six golden wavy fish patterns below. After seeing the design, Liu Qing wondered if he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes hard to make them clear. Wow, it really was an alchemist's badge! And a genuine, top-tier sixth-grade alchemist's badge at that! Damn it, he'd kicked a hornet's nest!

For a moment, Liu Qing's heart was filled with mixed emotions, a jumble of feelings, and he was filled with anxiety and trepidation! Alchemists were the most sought-after profession on the Dou Qi Continent. He had once witnessed this in his family, where his father treated a fifth-grade alchemist with utmost respect, as if he were an honored guest. His father did not dare to neglect him in the slightest, treating him with the highest and most solemn etiquette, and even going so far as to offer precious gifts such as spiritual herbs to curry favor with him.

Offending an alchemist is easy, but pleasing one is difficult. What's more, he has now offended a sixth-grade alchemist who is even higher than the fifth-grade alchemist whom his father treats with great care. If his father finds out, he will surely be expelled from the family.

"Qing'er, let me tell you, if you ever encounter a high-level alchemist, try your best to win them over, even if it means offering them a large sum of money or precious treasures. But if you can't win them over, never offend them, because you'll never know how powerful their connections and resources are."

His father's words seemed to still be vivid in his mind. Liu Qing's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva.

A sixth-grade alchemist, and such a young sixth-grade alchemist at that—he couldn't afford to offend him!

Chapter Seven: The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower Opens

"Well, Brother Xiao, perhaps this is all a misunderstanding!"

"Yes, it's all a misunderstanding!! A misunderstanding!! Haha!" At first, Liu Qing found it difficult to speak. As the third strongest on the ranking list, when had he ever been so humiliated in the inner courtyard? He was forced by circumstances and had no choice but to speak. Towards the end, he could only try to ease the atmosphere with an awkward laugh.

"Misunderstanding?! Heh." Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward and slapped Liu Qing twice, one on each cheek. Before Liu Qing could even react, red five-finger marks appeared on his cheeks!

"Is this still a misunderstanding?" Xiao Xuanyuan stared coldly at the other party, unable to suppress a sneer. He had naturally seen the conversation between Liu Qing and his cousin Liu Fei just now, and knew that the two of them were wary of his identity. So there was nothing more to say. He would just teach them a lesson so that they would not always be so arrogant and domineering and would not know how to keep their tails between their legs.

Seeing this, the members of the Fierce Eagles were stunned. Some even fiddled with their weapons, almost ready to fight.

Enraged by the blow, Liu Qing immediately rose to his feet, brandishing his black iron spear, but Liu Fei reached out and grabbed his arm tightly. "Cousin, the opponent is a sixth-grade alchemist. We can't afford to offend him. Please bear with it, please bear with it!"

Liu Qing was furious. "He slapped me twice in public! I can't stand it! Otherwise, how can I face the brothers of Fierce Eagle in the future?" Although Liu Qing said this, this tall guy of 1.8 meters was being held back by his cousin Liu Fei and couldn't move. His long gun seemed to be stuck in his hand and he couldn't draw it.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan understood that this guy was just putting on a show. He was actually quite afraid to fight him, since his status as a sixth-grade alchemist had a huge deterrent effect.

"I won't bully you. See you in three days on the inner courtyard arena. We'll settle this with our skills," Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Liu Qing, his face full of disdain. "But there are rules to every fight. It's not good to leave no room for negotiation. If you lose, then..."

Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Liu Qing from head to toe. His Heavenly Punishment Purple Eyes activated automatically, taking in Liu Qing's entire body. He couldn't help but click his tongue and shake his head slightly. "You don't have anything good on you. I don't even care about your cultivation techniques or fighting skills. I don't know what the point of fighting you is."

Liu Qing's eyes were practically spitting fire, but he dared not speak out. Faced with the powerful background and resources behind a sixth-grade alchemist, he was truly uncertain.

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was about to give up on this pointless struggle, he caught a glimpse of a slender and graceful figure out of the corner of his eye. "If you lose, then send this little beauty beside you over to serve me, to bring me tea and water, or even to be my maid. However..."

Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Liu Fei beside Liu Qing a few more times, then changed the subject and said, "If you're too scared and want to be a coward, then forget it."

Today, Liu Fei was wearing a light pink, form-fitting outfit that accentuated her graceful figure. Her curves were perfectly proportioned, with a fair complexion and delicate features. She was a rare beauty, but her beauty was not on the same level as that of a fairy like Nangong Wan. It was like comparing a class beauty to a top international model; there was no comparison.

"Okay, I promise you!" Liu Qing's teeth were almost grinding to powder, but when he looked back at his cousin Liu Fei and saw her shaking her head slightly, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

"You said it yourself. If you don't show up in three days, I'll take it as a conceding defeat. Everyone can be my witness, including the members of your Fierce Eagle team." Xiao Xuanyuan chuckled as he publicized the bet between the two of them.

"What if I win?!" Liu Qing's lips curled into a smug smile as he stared with interest at the alchemist level badge on Xiao Xuanyuan's left chest.

"Then tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, his face full of confidence.

"All I ask for is your apology and for you to refine pills for us for a year free of charge, without any compensation. You can't refuse any pill I ask you to refine!" Liu Qing naturally coveted his pill-refining skills and wanted a tool who could provide him with pill-refining services long-term.

"A year? Hmm, that's a bit long, but forget it. I'll work for you for a year instead of your cousin. It's not a great deal, but I'll take the loss!" Xiao Xuanyuan said with a smile. He was thinking to himself that this guy must be out of his mind, kicked by a donkey, or had his head caught in a door. He was at the height of his fame in the inner courtyard, and yet someone still dared to come and accept the challenge.

Liu Qing also had a smile on his face, even a hint of smugness. A sixth-grade alchemist! As long as he wins in three days, he can produce countless fifth and sixth-grade pills as long as he provides the medicinal materials. He can also cooperate with other forces and exploit their labor force, making them work for Lie Ying to refine medicine every day until they are exhausted.

Once the terms were agreed upon, the tense atmosphere that had just been building up immediately dissipated, and both sides put away their weapons.

"Cousin, you shouldn't have agreed to him!" Liu Fei looked at Liu Qing with a resentful expression.

Liu Qing waved his hand and gently comforted him, "I'm confident I can defeat him. I just used a secret technique to see his strength. He's only at the level of a one-star Dou Ling. Your cousin can completely overwhelm him. But thinking about it, it makes sense. A pharmacist who spends all his time in the pharmacy tinkering with alchemy, and at only fifteen or sixteen years old, it's already extremely rare for him to have such high alchemy skills. In comparison, the strength of alchemists is all superficial. They all rely on consuming pills to advance. I've encountered them before, and they're all empty shells, nothing to fear."

Hearing Liu Qing say this, Liu Fei felt more at ease, realizing that her cousin might be right.

"winter!"

Not long after, the ancient sound of bells suddenly resounded throughout the area, and with the deafening sound of the bells, all the surrounding noise came to an abrupt halt.

"Open the tower!"

After a bell rang, an aged voice came from inside the tower. Then, the tightly closed, pitch-black door, revealing the top of the tower, slowly opened amidst a continuous rumbling of steel. A scorching heat rushed out from inside, causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly, making it unbearably hot.

"This is the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower?!" Xiao Xuanyuan stared blankly at it for a few moments, then called out to the Medicine Alliance members behind him, "Follow me into the tower later. If you fall behind, take care of it yourselves. I don't have that much time to take care of you."

---Aside---

Next, it's time to subdue the Fallen Heartflame. Ugh, this scorching weather is unbearably hot! The whole world is hot!

Chapter Eight: Thanks a lot, brother, for the shoes!

As soon as Xiao Xuanyuan led the Medicine Alliance into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, he sensed that something out of nowhere was being created within his body—a colorless and formless energy. This energy was distorted and elusive, and it also possessed the characteristics of flames. It began to burn and damage the meridians and internal organs within his body.

"Is this the Fallen Heart Flame that Elder Yao mentioned? It's quite strange." After briefly experiencing the twisting and tingling pain of burning his meridians, Xiao Xuanyuan directly enveloped it with his fire battle qi and sank it into his dantian. Then, he began to mobilize countless streams of fire battle qi to pass through this small, invisible, and colorless flame.

Each time his own fire fighting energy passed through, it was as if it had gone through a compressor or a forging machine. Each stream of fire fighting energy was tempered and hardened, and its size was also reduced considerably.

How can this be described? It's like a piece of steel that has been reforged to remove impurities and compress it before finally coming out of the furnace. In this process, the steel is not small in volume but has less mass. However, this reforged steel is harder than the unforged steel!

The fire fighting spirit in Xiao Xuanyuan's body is just like that. A small stream of fire fighting spirit has been forged by the Fallen Heart Flame, removing impurities and becoming more condensed. Its volume has also decreased, but the intensity and explosive power it generates are stronger than before!

"Hmm, not bad!" Xiao Xuanyuan immediately told the Medicine Alliance members behind him about the method he had tested. However, when he turned around, he was speechless. He saw a large group of Medicine Alliance members lying on the ground, their faces contorted in pain, their faces as red as a monkey's bottom, as if they had just been constipated and couldn't poop.

Only a small minority are able to remain seated cross-legged in this painful state, struggling to resist this invisible and colorless inner fire.

Beside them, an old man was constantly creating vortexes of white flames to draw out the invisible and colorless heart fire from the bodies of the many members of the Medicine Alliance. As he did this, he instructed everyone, "Don't resist this heart fire. Just keep using your internal battle qi to pass through the invisible and colorless heart fire, and you can resist and weaken its power."

"You're a fucking disgrace to me!"
