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

If Xiao Yan hadn't known the method of using poison pills, perhaps he wouldn't have felt so uneasy upon regaining consciousness and seeing Little Fairy Doctor sitting on him.

Little Fairy Doctor gave up her most precious thing to save him, but he never mentioned to her that there was actually a possibility of resolving the Calamity Poison Body.

"..." Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor wanted to say that she didn't care, but she swallowed the words back. "Then... consider this my contribution to the solution for the Calamity Poison Body you mentioned..."

"No, I won't allow it!"

Although Xiao Yan didn't understand women, his intuition told him that if Xiao Yixian were to finish saying those words, it might really be the end between him and Xiao Yixian. So, without hesitation, Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Yixian into his arms.

"I just woke up and my mind isn't fully clear yet, so just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Although she had already had close contact with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian's face still turned bright red instantly when she was suddenly pulled into his arms. As for what Xiao Yan said afterward...

The somewhat dazed Little Fairy Doctor barely heard what was being said.

The vitality of the Izumo Poison Swamp far exceeded Xiao Yan's imagination. Not long after he regained consciousness, the toxins spread again in this death zone. However, unlike the death zone under Li Zong's control, this time, the concentration of toxins was very uniform in the death zone, danger zone, and even the outermost edge. It can be said that the Izumo Poison Swamp will be a complete no-go zone from now on.

However, thanks to this, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's cohabitation in the innermost part of the Chuyun Poison Swamp was undisturbed by anyone.

Of course, it was just a simple cohabitation. After all, after the detoxification, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian had no overly intimate contact. One was studying the Poison Classic and the other was working hard on medicine refining. It can be said that apart from meals, the two had no communication at all, as if what had happened before was just a dream.

After spending some time carefully studying the formula for the seventh-grade pill, Xiao Yan began to try it. However, due to the lack of medicinal materials, Xiao Yan had to occasionally travel to the major cities of the Chuyun Empire to sell the pills he had in exchange for the medicinal materials he needed.

On one of his departures, Xiao Yan made a detour to the Town of Suffering, where he resolved the blood poisoning in the still-living guide's body. He also informed Zhou Ze that Li Zong had died at his hands, but no high-level cultivation techniques had been found. If all went well, they should still be in the storage ring of Zhou Ze's ancestor, the stone statues in the Poison Swamp.

That day, Zhou Ze stared at the stone statues for a long time at the edge of the Chuyun Poison Swamp. In the end, he left the town of Suffering alone. Xiao Yan had told him that he could go to the Jia Ma Empire, but no one knew what his final choice would be.

More than five months later, dark clouds filled the sky above the deepest part of the Izumo Poison Swamp.

scoff!

Suddenly, a silver beam as thick as an arm shot out from the dark clouds, its dazzling light illuminating the gloomy world.

Xiao Yan looked up, his eyes burning with fervor as he watched the silver light crash down.

"Flame Divide, Wave Devouring Ruler!"

With a sudden swing of his hand holding the Xuanzhong Ruler, a long-accumulated crescent-shaped beam of light shot out from the ruler, shattering the falling silver light and then continuing its momentum into the air.

The crescent moon's rays effortlessly pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, but only for a moment before the clouds gathered again, obscuring the sunlight that had been falling. At the same time, another silver ray fell.

"So it really didn't work?"

After a helpless laugh, Xiao Yan condensed his fighting spirit in his hand, and a talisman mixed with fighting spirit and soul power appeared on his palm.

"break!"

As the talisman left his hand, the falling silver light shattered once more with Xiao Yan's soft shout.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After Xiao Yan shattered two of the silver rays in succession, the dark cloud seemed extremely angry. Countless silver rays flashed, and bolts of lightning, like silver pythons, broke through the cloud's restraints and slammed into Xiao Yan on the stone platform one after another.

"That's enough..."

Looking at the densely packed silver lightning bolts falling, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, and cyan and emerald flames appeared on his hands.

"Hehe, how about giving this a try!"

After shattering several bolts of lightning with a punch, a verdant lotus flower left Xiao Yan's control and flew into the air.

Chapter 170 Seventh Grade

"So, in the end you used the Buddha's Wrath Lotus to completely destroy the Dan Lei?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan, who was sitting opposite her and looked somewhat disheveled, and asked him with a strange expression.

"I guess so," Xiao Yan said with a bright smile after wringing out the towel from his hands and wiping the dust off his face. "Although I looked a bit disheveled, the effect was surprisingly good!"

Having spent five or six fire lotuses to completely clear away the pill lightning baptism that should have lasted for more than half an hour, Xiao Yan felt quite good at the moment.

"But, according to Elder Yao, it should only take half an hour to withstand the baptism of the pill lightning, right?" Little Fairy Doctor sighed. "With your current strength, you shouldn't have any problem enduring the pill lightning for half an hour, should you?"

"Moreover, that way it wouldn't consume too much of your battle qi, and you wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Although less than half a year has passed, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi has reached the level of a nine-star Dou Ling, and his soul power has also improved. It is estimated that Xiao Yan's soul power is now infinitely close to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. Under these conditions, after performing the fusion, his strength is infinitely close to a one-star Dou Zun. Although he would definitely not be able to defeat a true Dou Zun, he can still easily block the pill lightning of a seventh-grade pill.

“That’s true…” Xiao Yan grinned, “but it feels too ordinary. After all, this is the first time I’ve successfully refined a seventh-grade pill, so it should have some sense of ceremony.”

"A sense of ritual?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan strangely. "Your soul power has long been at the Spirit Realm, but you haven't refined a seventh-grade pill because you can't handle the pill lightning, right? Is it really necessary to insist on any sense of ritual for something you already know you'll succeed at?"

During the five months she spent with Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor learned most of what he was like from him, including but not limited to: Xiao Yan was already capable of refining sixth-grade pills, but because he couldn't deal with the pill lightning, he hadn't tried refining seventh-grade pills; Xiao Yan had two kinds of strange fire, one was the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and the other was the Netherworld Poison Fire.

"Hmph, if it were just an ordinary seventh-grade pill, I wouldn't care so much!" Xiao Yan snorted twice.

"So, is it a high-grade seventh-rank pill like the Transformation Pill?" Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously.

"No, if I had to say, perhaps in terms of grade, this pill is just at the seventh rank... right?" Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment.

"Perhaps?" Little Fairy Doctor blinked, and in that instant, she seemed to understand something. "This pill is your own creation?"

"...How did you guess that?" Xiao Yan's expression instantly fell apart as he was about to reveal the truth and show off a little.

"You said 'maybe,' which means you don't actually know the actual grade of the pills you refined, does it?" Looking at Xiao Yan's crumbling expression, Little Fairy Doctor laughed instead. "Besides, the smug look you had just made clearly didn't look like someone who had refined pills by following the instructions. It was just like those few fifth and sixth grade pills."

Over the past five months, Little Fairy Doctor occasionally saw Xiao Yan looking smug, and it was always after he had refined a pill that he 'couldn't tell her.' This time, Xiao Yan's expression was so similar to before that when Xiao Yan denied that the pill he had refined was not a high-grade seventh-rank pill, the first thing Little Fairy Doctor thought of was the same as before: a pill that Xiao Yan had created that he 'couldn't tell her.'

At first I thought it would go wrong, but to my surprise it actually worked out by accident.

"Is it really that similar?" After hearing Little Fairy Doctor's explanation, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly with a bitter face. "Fine, since you've already guessed it, Little Fairy Doctor, I won't hide it from you anymore..."

"That's right, the pill I refined this time is a substitute for the poison pill, made using the same method as the poison pill!"

Seeing the stunned expression on Little Fairy Doctor's face after his words, Xiao Yan continued, "Of course, it's not exactly the same as the method of using poison pills. After all, the Izumo Empire... no, perhaps the entire Northwest Continent, cannot find the Bodhi Transformation Body. What I can do is use similar medicinal materials as a lower-grade substitute..."

In fact, back in Douluo Continent, Xiao Yan had already refined a pill with the effect of poison pills. At that time, he specifically sought out medicinal materials that could exert a similar effect to the Bodhi Transformation Body. However, Dugu Bo at that time was only at the Dou Ling level and was not yet at the Calamity Poison Body level, so the fourth-grade pill he refined could perfectly control the toxins in his body.

Therefore, what Xiao Yan did this time was actually just a continuation of the previous push, the only difference being that Xiao Yi Xian's current strength was less than Dou Ling, and she had the Calamity Poison Body.

The materials needed to refine poison pills can be roughly divided into three types: first, three kinds of strange fire; second, the magic core of a seventh-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast; and third, the Bodhi Transformation Extension.

Including Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan can be said to possess three kinds of strange flames. However, he does not possess the other two. In order for the poison pills he refines to truly play a role... at least until Little Fairy Doctor becomes a Dou Zong, Xiao Yan repeatedly calculates the refining process for new poison pills.

After five months of effort, today, Xiao Yan finally managed to refine the poison pill he had taken into a seventh-grade pill using the magic core of a seventh-order Heavenly Demon Scorpion. This is also the first seventh-grade pill that Xiao Yan has refined in his more than ten years of alchemy career!

After Xiao Yan said those words, Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head and remained silent. Xiao Yan, afraid that he might say something that would cause Xiao Yi Xian to misunderstand, didn't dare to breathe loudly. For a moment, the two seemed to be competing to see who could hold their breath longer, both remaining completely silent.

Finally, Little Fairy Doctor raised her head, her slightly reddened pupils looking at Xiao Yan with dissatisfaction: "You really don't dare to say a word?"

"Say...say what?" Xiao Yan asked awkwardly after chuckling.

"How am I supposed to know what you should say?" Little Fairy Doctor raised her hand, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said with a wry smile, "This poison pill that you created is a gift for me... You should at least say something like that, right?"

"I'm just afraid you're overthinking it..." Xiao Yan chuckled dryly.

"What are you overthinking?" Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I'm not some delicate young lady, how could I overthink something just because of a few words?"

Looking at Little Fairy Doctor throwing a tantrum, Xiao Yan chuckled dryly. At this moment, no matter what Little Fairy Doctor said, he dared not mention her expression five months ago, when she seemed heartbroken.

For the next month, Xiao Yan spent most of his time refining pills. He refined a large number of pills that could be used for cultivation, and he also completed two Transformation Pills that he had promised to make.

However, as Xiao Yan refined more and more cultivation-aiding pills, Little Fairy Doctor gradually realized—

Xiao, who has a three-year agreement with a family in the holy capital of the Gama Empire, is perhaps preparing to leave.

Even though she already knew that Xiao Yan couldn't stay here with her for long, the fact that the day of parting was approaching still made Little Fairy Doctor a little sad.

So, one late night, Little Fairy Doctor coincidentally contracted a poison, a poison that only Xiao Yan could cure...

One month later, deep in the Tagor Desert.

Sensing the aura of powerful figures in the distance... After sensing the aura of a Snake-Man Clan Dou King and several human powerhouses in the distance, Xiao Yan blinked.

'What's going on? Five Dou Ling, three Dou Wang, and one Dou Huang... Are they going to wipe out this snake-man tribe?'

After exclaiming in surprise, Xiao Yan released his soul power without hesitation. Having just returned from the Chuyun Empire, he was preparing to go to the Holy City of the Snake People to see if Queen Medusa, who was searching for the Strange Fire and attempting to evolve using its energy, had found the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, which might exist. However, he had only been in the desert for a short time when he encountered such a good show. Xiao Yan felt that his luck seemed to be quite good... probably.

Xiao Yan's soul power quickly detected the soul auras of the nine people in the distance.

Just as Xiao Yan sensed, there was a male snake-man Dou Wang here, and opposite him were five Dou Ling, three Dou Wang, and one Dou Huang.

'Hmm? Yunyun?'

The only Dou Huang guard was beside the middle-aged Dou Wang. Although the man was shrouded in a black robe, Xiao Yan immediately recognized him as a Dou Huang based on the familiar Dou Qi attribute.

As for the middle-aged man's identity, Xiao Yan quickly figured it out.

'This level of soul power…is it that Pill King Gu He?' After blinking, Xiao Yan completely concealed himself in the air and moved towards that direction. 'Is he seeking help from the Snake-People clan?'

"Hehe, I didn't expect to encounter a Dou Wang level expert so soon after arriving in the Great Desert. You must be one of the leaders of one of the eight tribes of the Snake People, right?"

As Xiao Yan approached, Gu He, protected by everyone, slowly stepped forward, looked at the Snake-Man Clan's Dou Wang Mobas in the distance, and said with a smile.

"Who are you? Why have you come to the heart of my tribe in the dead of night? Don't you know that this place is off-limits to humans?"

Looking at the nine powerful figures in the distance, Mobas's face was full of solemnity. Although he had always looked down on humans, believing that humans were only able to suppress the snake people because they occupied a good geographical location, the terrifying lineup opposite him did not allow him to be careless in the slightest.

“Hehe, we have some keys to the Tagor Desert. I wonder if you could lead us deep into the desert to meet the noble queen?” Guhe said with a smile.

"Want to see Her Majesty the Queen?" Upon hearing this, Mobas sneered, "Our snake people have been enemies with you humans for many years, and our hands are stained with each other's blood. What is there to talk about?"

'Indeed, what could the powerful figures of the Gama Empire possibly have to discuss with the snake people?'

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who had already infiltrated the vicinity of the group, chuckled. 'It's already a miracle they didn't immediately engage in a fight…or rather, is this Gu He actually thinking of negotiating with an enemy who hasn't been defeated?'

While Xiao Yan was lost in thought, the Snake-Man Clan's Dou Wang and the two Dou Wangs beside Gu He started fighting because of a verbal disagreement.

However, judging from Gu He's silent demeanor, it seemed that he had tacitly agreed that the two Dou Wangs had taken down Mobas.

After several rounds of fighting, Mobas suddenly unleashed two giant energy snakes, forcing the two Battle Kings to retreat.

The three men's gazes met in mid-air, none of them concealing their murderous intent.

Xiao Yan glanced across the battlefield and was absolutely certain that the snake-man Dou Wang wouldn't last much longer, unless he decided to continue fighting the two Dou Wangs head-on.

"Shameless humans, I am indeed no match for you alone..." Mobas sneered as he looked at the two Dou Wang opposite him, "But, if I want to leave, can you stop me?" After making a sarcastic remark, he began to quickly form several hand seals in front of him.

"Stop him!"

Upon seeing the surging battle aura emanating from Mobas, both Battle Kings were startled and then suddenly shot towards Mobas.

"The Serpent's Technique: Divide!"

Looking at the two Battle Kings charging towards him, Mobas sneered, his body trembled violently, and then exploded suddenly in the astonished gazes of everyone.

In the explosion, there was no blood or flesh flying everywhere. Instead, countless giant black energy snakes surged out from the blast site. As soon as these snakes appeared, they swept away in all directions, covering the sky.
