Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

"Don't get close to humans? Then how do you and I fit in?" Xiao Yan smiled casually.

"..." Lin Dong was speechless for a moment. He was impersonating the Heavenly Demon Sable, but Xiao Yan was in a difficult position. Neither of them had any means to conceal Xiao Yan's identity.

After a moment of silence, the burly man in red and the three-eyed golden lion arrived.

The burly man in red first looked at Xiao Yan, scrutinizing him from head to toe. His brows furrowed undisguisedly. He then turned to Lin Dong, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Lord Lin Dong, may I ask who this gentleman is...?"

"You can call me Xiao Yan," Xiao Yan said slowly before Lin Dong could speak.

Then, before the burly man in red could react, an extremely domineering aura pressed down on him like Mount Tai, and in an instant, the burly man in red's legs sank into the mud.

'The aura of the dragon clan... it's completely different from the dragon soul in that valley. Your brother's luck is a bit too good to be true.' Little Marten's voice rang in Lin Dong's mind.

"Indeed," Lin Dong thought, "if it weren't for his good attitude and decent luck, he might even be a little jealous right now. Speaking of which, Little Mink, you didn't deliberately leave me out of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thing, did you?"

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, the aura emanating from Lin Dong was that of the Heavenly Demon Sable, the true form of the little sable. His purpose was to drive away the low-level soul beasts in the surrounding area and, incidentally, to notify the beast kings in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest of his arrival.

Although he didn't know how the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a treasure of the Star Dou Great Forest, appeared in the outer area, it was thanks to this unexpected event that Lin Dong remembered the importance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as the crucial information that it could not come into contact with humans.

"No, I simply forgot." Little Marten felt a little aggrieved. His clan didn't have any treasures that represented such luck, and even if they did, they couldn't possibly be only at the Earthly Realm!

"Dragon Clan?" A female voice came from the mouth of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. At this moment, it paid no attention to the Crimson King, whose body was half buried in the ground, but instead approached Xiao Yan with a curious expression. "Do you know Uncle Di Tian?"

"Di Tian?" Glancing at the obediently punished Queen Chi, who dared not utter a sound, Xiao Yan withdrew his dragon energy. "Never heard of him."

"The patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan, an 800,000-year-old soul beast, and the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest," Lin Dong said at the opportune moment, introducing the identity of the black dragon to Xiao Yan.

"Black dragon? Isn't it the silver dragon that needs treatment?"

Although they hadn't planned it beforehand, Lin Dong's cooperation still thrilled Xiao Yan, who felt as if the two were telepathically connected.

Upon hearing the words "Silver Dragon?", the Crimson King, who had just crawled out of the ground, instinctively shrank back.

Through the brief conversation between Lin Dong and Xiao Yan, the Crimson King understood that this senior from the Dragon Clan must be the 'person' the Heavenly Demon Sable Senior had mentioned before, the one who could heal the "Master's" injuries. At this moment, he desperately hoped that this senior would be magnanimous and overlook his previous rudeness, otherwise...

The thought of what would happen to him if Di Tian and the others found out that his lord's injuries had not healed quickly because of his rudeness made the Crimson King shudder.

The three-eyed golden lion standing to the side had no idea what the Crimson King was thinking. At this moment, she only felt that the scent of this dragon senior who claimed to be Xiao Yan was very pleasant. In fact, she felt that if she stayed by his side, she could cultivate normally just by smelling his scent, without having to rely on time to grind it out.

"So, Uncle Xiao Yan, are you here to heal the Lord? Do you need me to lead the way?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Xiao Yan nervously, afraid that its 'meal ticket' would slip away.

Lin Dong, who had just "explained" the relationship between the Black Dragon and the Silver Dragon to Xiao Yan, looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had volunteered, with some curiosity. Weren't his and Xiao Yan's soul beast auras just imitations? Why was this Three-Eyed Golden Lion so close to Xiao Yan?

"Then I'll trouble you," Xiao Yan chuckled, then glanced at the Crimson King, "Lead the way."

"Yes!"

After discovering that the dragon elder was not angry, the Crimson King breathed a sigh of relief. Although clearing the way ahead seemed like treating him like a dog, it didn't matter much, since he was the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound after all!

With the Crimson King leading the way, the journey was smooth and they soon arrived at the core area.

Ignoring the Azure Bull Python guarding the gate, the Titan Giant Ape, and the rabbit hiding to the side, the two, led by the Crimson King, passed through a mist and entered the true core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

"senior……"

Before Xiao Yan could take a closer look at the scenery of this core area, the Crimson King walked awkwardly to Xiao Yan's side.

"Go call them, I have plenty of time." Xiao Yan waved his hand casually, his gaze falling on the trees in front of him, whose canopies were about a hundred meters in diameter.

"Yes!" The Crimson King replied respectfully, then walked to the lake shore and jumped into the water.

"Uncle Xiao Yan, I heard from Lord Lin Dong that you are an alchemist?" The three-eyed golden lion wagged its tail and approached Xiao Yan. "What is an alchemist?"

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion expressed interest in the profession of 'alchemist', its breathing unconsciously quickened after it moved closer to Xiao Yan. For a moment, Xiao Yan even suspected that the golden lion was interested in his 'scent'.

“An alchemist…” Xiao Yan rubbed his nose. “Lin Dong, what did you say before?” His gaze fell on Lin Dong, who was standing to the side.

"What did I say before?" Lin Dong hesitated for a moment when his name was suddenly called. "It was basically about using flames to process various medicinal herbs, and then..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was clearly not interested in the profession of alchemist, but as Lin Dong and Xiao Yan continued to explain, she would occasionally show an expression of interest, especially after hearing about a pill called the Transformation Pill, which could allow soul beasts to transform into human form and cultivate at the same speed as humans. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes almost lit up.

"Uncle Xiao Yan, transform into human form..."

Just as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was about to learn more about the Transformation Pill that Xiao Yan had mentioned, footsteps sounded nearby. When Xiao Yan turned around, two figures had already appeared beside him and Lin Dong.

On the left is the Red King who went to call for help earlier, and on the right is a man in black with golden eyes.

"Uncle Di Tian." Upon seeing the visitor, the three-eyed golden lion raised its head, completely withdrawing its interest in the Transformation Pill.

"You're Di Tian? That black dragon?" Xiao Yan sized up the black-clad, golden-eyed man with interest. "Eight hundred thousand years? That's nothing special~"

Di Tian wanted to retort, but after feeling the intensity of the spiritual energy falling on him, he swallowed back all the words that were about to come out. "I heard from the Crimson King that you are also a member of the Dragon Clan? Which clan are you descended from?"

"Their treatment is much better than mine..." Little Mink complained to Lin Dong. "If I hadn't stood up for them, we might both have been kicked out."

Lin Dong could only smile helplessly. After all, Xiao Yan had entered under their guidance, while the two of them had only been discovered by the Crimson King and the others after beating up the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"Which clan are you from?" Xiao Yan drawled.

"Water dragon or fire dragon, I guess?" Xiao Yan's pupils changed color, one red and one blue. "After all, I devoured the souls of those two old geezers."

The instant Xiao Yan's pupils changed color, Di Tian's brain buzzed, and subconsciously, his soul power surged out, shattering the tranquil scenery of the small island in the lake in an instant.

"You... completely killed them!" Di Tian said in a low voice, the anger in his words was clear even to the naive Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Otherwise what? Let those two kill me?" Xiao Yan grinned, fully mobilizing his spiritual power to contend with Di Tian, ​​who was roughly equivalent to a top-tier fifth-order magical beast. "How about you offer yourself to that silver dragon? With your magic core, the pills to heal that silver dragon might be of better quality."

Di Tian did not reply, his golden pupils fixed on Xiao Yan.

Watching the two locked in a standoff, Lin Dong silently stood behind Xiao Yan, his eyes fixed on the Crimson King standing beside Di Tian, ​​as for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion…

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, both Xiao Yan and Di Tian controlled their auras to prevent the Three-Eyed Golden Lion from being affected by them. As for the Crimson King... he could only tremble under the auras of the two, no, the three.

"Di Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

As they confronted each other, four figures appeared nearby. It was the woman with long, emerald-green hair among them who spoke. If this were not the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, and if Xiao Yan did not use his mental power, he might have thought that this gentle woman was an ordinary human, rather than an emerald swan.

"Are they enemies?"

The one who spoke was the only one of the four figures who maintained his beast form—a giant bear. Xiao Yan was very familiar with this appearance; it was the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that Xiao Yan had killed several of a year ago.

"Lord Lin Dong is here too? So, is this just a simple sparring match?"

The one who said this was a 'middle-aged man' whose whole body was radiating an eerie green light. Besides the green light, the most peculiar thing about him was his green hair, which was more than ten meters long.

The last one silently watched the two facing off, without speaking or making any move, but his gaze on Xiao Yan was filled with surprise.

"...This is Xiao Yan, the patriarch of both the Fire Dragon and Water Dragon clans."

Di Tian slowly withdrew his eyes, which had been fixed on Xiao Yan, and at the same time, he also withdrew his overwhelming aura. "He was also invited by Lin Dong to treat the master's alchemy."

If possible, Di Tian would like to revive the two dragon kings, but putting aside the fact that the person in front of him is no weaker than himself, the mere fact that he might be able to heal his lord is enough to make Di Tian give up the idea of ​​saving the two dragon souls.

"I am Xiao Yan, you can just call me by my name. As for the positions of the patriarchs of the Fire Dragon and Water Dragon clans..." Xiao Yan shrugged, "I've just assumed those positions, so it's fine to ignore them if you want."

No one answered.

"Let's go see our master first," Di Tian said calmly to Xiao Yan, showing no intention of mediating.

"What about the medicinal herbs?" Xiao Yan remained unmoved. "Even though you just appointed me as the clan leader, the compensation was agreed upon a long time ago."

"...They're all down below. We don't have any soul tools that humans use." Di Tian replied calmly after a moment of silence.

“Down there—” Xiao Yan’s lips curled up slightly. “I’m fine with it, but if it’s just the two of us going down, then if you’re really comfortable with that, then you should go.”

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Di Tian, ​​with a dark expression, waved his hand, causing the lake surface to sink and the surrounding air to distort slightly. From a distance, it appeared as if a round bubble had appeared on the water's surface.

"Little Three-Eyed, this is for you. Eat it as a snack." Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle from his soul tool, poured out the fiery red pill inside, and stuffed it into the mouth of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside him.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan followed Di Tian to clean up the mess and stood on the invisible bubble.

Silently, the bubble carrying Xiao Yan and Di Tian slowly sank into the water.

"Auspicious Beast, what did he give you?" After Di Tian and Xiao Yan disappeared, the Crimson King looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a nervous expression, whose eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.

"do not know."

The pill melted the moment it entered its mouth, and before it could even complain, "What kind of snack is this?", the Three-Eyed Golden Lion closed its mouth due to the medicinal power of the pill.

“But…” the Three-Eyed Golden Lion murmured, “But, my fire and light attributes seem… to have become much stronger…”

Of course, most importantly, she could feel that her strength, which was originally only able to grow slowly over time, was now slowly increasing under the influence of that fiery red pill!

"Have the fire and light attributes become stronger?"

Everyone, including Lin Dong, stared at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in disbelief. In terms of the strength of these two attributes alone, there were few in the entire Star Dou Great Forest that could surpass the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Yet, this very Three-Eyed Golden Lion had said that these two attributes had been enhanced by a single pill.

"Lord Lin Dong, that Lord Xiao Yan's spiritual power..." After a brief silence, the 'middle-aged man' whose true form was the Demon Eye Tree looked at Lin Dong.

“Better than me,” Lin Dong glanced at him, “not to mention you.”

"Of course," the Demon King said with an awkward smile.

Chapter 131 Silver Dragon King

"What did you feed the mythical beast?"

About half a minute later, the rapidly descending bubbles slowed down, and at the same time, a sentence entered Xiao Yan's ears.

“I thought you would remain silent forever,” Xiao Yan glanced at Di Tianhou, then turned his gaze back to the dark, icy lake.

"The Bright Fire Pill's main ingredients are half a finger bone from the Fire Dragon King and all the most yang herbs that can be found. Its effect is to enhance the user's fire attribute, and perhaps also the light attribute."

The Bright Flame Pill was the first batch of pills Xiao Yan refined to purify Ma Hongjun's flames. However, after refining it, he discovered that the fire attribute energy contained within it was slightly too violent.

Even Xiao Yan himself could only take it when he was fully activating the Burning Technique, thus making it one of the eliminated pills. However, this level of ferocity was just right for fire-attribute soul beasts, at most a little spicy.

It enhances the user's fire attribute.

Di Tian nodded silently. As the emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion naturally did not need to fight. However, it was always a good thing to strengthen her. Moreover, such strengthening might allow her to have some illusions. At least for a period of time in the future, she could be seen cultivating peacefully.

"Transformation Pill... No matter how much the auspicious beast begs you later, I hope you will not give her this pill."

"why?"

Di Tian's words puzzled Xiao Yan. When he was chatting with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before, Lin Dong also told Xiao Yan about the significance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the Star Dou Great Forest. Even Yao Lao did not understand why such a soul beast that could gather the fortune of a clan would only have a few thousand years of cultivation and could not even cultivate normally. However, the Transformation Pill could definitely solve the problem of cultivation. Therefore, Xiao Yan had mentioned the Transformation Pill intentionally or unintentionally before.

The goal was to get the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and other spirit beasts to help collect the ingredients for the Transformation Pill.

As for the Transformation Pill, it is a seventh-grade pill, and Xiao Yan has absolutely no chance of successfully refining it now. Even if he did succeed, he wouldn't be able to withstand something as trivial as pill lightning. As long as Xiao Yan doesn't say it out loud, naturally no one can expose him.

"The auspicious beast is a sacred beast of our Star Dou Great Forest. Can you guarantee that after consuming the Transformation Pill, the auspicious beast will still embody the fortune of our Soul Beast race?" Di Tian asked calmly, "Even if the essence of the auspicious beast remains unchanged at that time."

This is a question that Xiao Yan has come up with.

Indeed, the Transformation Pill is a coveted elixir for all magical beasts, as it allows them to maintain their original lifespan while also possessing human cultivation talents. However, since there are no magical beasts on the Dou Qi Continent like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that can gather fortune, Xiao Yan cannot guarantee whether the Transformation Pill will affect the fortune of a soul beast.
