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

After muttering a few words to himself, Xiao Yan calmly said, "Sure, five hundred Heavenly Fire Energy, as long as you take it out, I can give you the pills directly."

The number five hundred made Lin Yan's face twitch slightly. He was one of the few loners in the inner courtyard, and his fire energy was barely enough for his own cultivation. Let alone five hundred, he couldn't even produce one hundred fire energy right now.

For a moment, silence fell over the arena.

"Five hundred fire energy? I'm afraid even selling Lin Yan wouldn't be worth that much," Lin Xiuya laughed as he looked at Lin Yan's embarrassed state on the stage, then lowered his voice, "However, this guy Lin Yan actually dared to go up after seeing the Brute Force King... It seems that the fire poison is about to become uncontrollable."

“…I don’t have much fire energy left.” After a brief silence, Liu Qing spoke.

"I only have a few dozen points left," Yan Hao said, shrugging.

"I'm about the same," Lin Xiuya nodded.

Then, all three of them turned their gazes to Han Yue. Although they all had their own forces, not only were their forces small, but the amount of fire energy they possessed was definitely not enough, and they couldn't possibly gather enough even if they tried.

But Han Yue is different. Among them, she has the most power and carries the most fire energy...

"You just know how to fleece me..." Han Yue's lips twitched slightly. "Let's make this clear first, the three of you need to talk to Lin Yan about this 500 Fire Coins. Consider it a loan from me, and you'll have to pay it back later!"

"I know, I know," Yan Hao smiled.

However, before they could even gather their strength, a new change occurred on the stage—

After a moment of silence, Lin Yan suddenly took out an item from his storage ring. It was a half-foot-long withered vine, its body a vibrant green, like a piece of fine jade, with faint, natural patterns outlined on it, winding and twisting like a series of green snakes.

Moreover, just by taking it out of his storage ring, Xiao Yan smelled a strange and refreshing scent.

'Aoki Immortal Vine! '

In just a moment, Xiao Yan recognized the name of the herb. After all, it was a necessary ingredient for refining the Earth Spirit Pill, and it was also the last herb he had never seen before!

Although he was overjoyed, Xiao Yan showed no emotion on his face, as if he knew nothing about this medicinal herb.

Lin Yan was slightly disappointed not to see any surprise on Xiao Yan's face, but he quickly shook off the disappointment and said calmly, "Although I don't know what this wooden vine is, when I saw it, it was being fought to the death by two Dou Wang-level magical beasts. In order to get it, I almost died under the claws of those Dou Wang-level magical beasts..."

You won't lose out by exchanging it for your Ice Marrow Pill!

'I might even make a profit...' Xiao Yan muttered to himself. If it weren't for its unique effect on clearing fire poison, the Ice Marrow Pill wouldn't even qualify as a fourth-grade pill. If Lin Yan really traded the Green Wood Immortal Vine for it, Xiao Yan would definitely make a profit.

“But…” Xiao Yan put on a troubled look, preparing to make excuses first, and then directly agree to the conditions proposed by Lin Yan.

"Hehe, if you think what Lin Yan offered isn't valuable enough, how about we exchange it for 500 fire energy, just like you said before?"

However, before Xiao Yan could finish his sentence, a laugh suddenly rang out, and then several figures flashed down from the high platform and finally appeared in the arena.

"Lin Xiuya? Yan Hao? Liu Qing?"

"What's going on in the arena today? All these guys who usually only know how to cultivate in seclusion have suddenly appeared together?"

As several figures appeared, whispers immediately arose in the surrounding stands. However, everyone's attention was focused on the top ten experts on the ranking list, and Han Yue, who was also an expert on the ranking list, was completely ignored by them.

What do you want?

Although Lin Xiuya's first words after coming down were to speak up for him, Lin Yan frowned as he looked at the people in front of him and said rather unhappily, "If there's nothing else, can you please move aside?"

Those who knew Lin Yan's temper rolled their eyes, assuming that Lin Yan's brain had been damaged by the fire poison, and didn't bother with him.

"Five hundred fire energy, is that the condition you proposed, junior?" Lin Xiuya looked at Xiao Yan and asked with a smile, "You're not planning to change the price, are you?"

“…No, but compared to five hundred fire energy, the Azure Wood Immortal Vine is more to my liking.” The deal was interrupted by a bunch of people, which made Xiao Yan scratch his head helplessly. “The Ice Marrow Pill is not worthy of being compared with the Azure Wood Immortal Vine. Besides the Ice Marrow Pill, is there any other pill you want?”

Looking at Lin Yan, Xiao Yan helplessly told the truth.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Lin Yan remained silent for a moment, then let out a long breath, "As long as the Ice Marrow Pill can really completely clear the fire poison from my body, this Green Wood Immortal Vine is yours!" He looked at Xiao Yan seriously.

"...For the vast majority of fire poisons, the Ice Marrow Pill is sufficient."

While Lin Yan was speaking, Xiao Yan also used his soul power to scan Lin Yan's entire body. Therefore, after Lin Yan finished speaking, Xiao Yan said, "But your condition is a bit serious... Your fighting spirit and fire poison are completely intertwined. While the Ice Marrow Pill is clearing the fire poison from your body, it will also take away a lot of your fighting spirit."

Once the fire poison is cleared, your level will drop by about one star.

Lin Yan didn't react much to Xiao Yan's words. After all, he knew his own situation very well. He had known for a long time that the fire poison and fighting spirit were intertwined. Moreover, based on Xiao Yan's words, he was quite certain that Xiao Yan had a way to resolve the fire poison in his body.

"This is the Marrow Cleansing Cold Spirit Liquid." Xiao Yan said, taking out a jade bottle from his Awakening Flame Ring and casually tossing it to Lin Yan.

"Pour a drop into a large basin filled with clean water, then sit quietly and cultivate in it for half an hour, once a day, until it's all used up," Xiao Yan continued after Lin Yan hurriedly caught the jade bottle. "It can cleanse the fire poison in your fighting spirit. After you've used it up, take the Ice Marrow Pill to completely cleanse the fire poison in your body."

Furthermore, for the next few years, even if you spend every day inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, you will not be troubled by the fire poison.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, then threw the Azure Wood Vine in his hand to Xiao Yan, "Once the fire poison in my body is completely expelled, I'll treat you to a drink!"

After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and left the arena, also driving away all the students who had gathered around it.

"Let's skip the drinking," Xiao Yan said casually, then his gaze fell on Lin Xiuya and the others. "I think you gentlemen didn't come here specifically to witness the deal between Lin Yan and me, did you?"

After exchanging glances for a few moments, Lin Xiuya and the other two looked at Han Yue at the same time.

After cursing under her breath, Han Yue took two steps forward, looked at Xiao Yan, and asked softly, "I wonder if Junior Brother has ever heard of... Earth Core Tempering Milk?"

Chapter 221 Earth Core Tempering Milk

Earth Core Tempering Milk, born beneath the earth, is originally pure earth energy. After being compressed over the years, it turns into mist after a hundred years, known as Earth Core Mist, which has the miraculous effect of solidification. After a thousand years of condensation, it becomes liquid, and the higher quality is called Earth Core Tempering Milk, which has the miraculous effect of cleansing marrow and refining bones. Moreover, its extremely pure and vast earth energy can even help some people who have reached the peak of their class to break through the barriers between classes!

Because the formation of the Earth Core Tempering Milk has extremely demanding conditions, and it is even consumed by the surrounding magical beasts shortly after it is formed, even Xiao Yan has never seen the Earth Core Tempering Milk in person. He only occasionally covets the marrow-cleansing and bone-refining effects of the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

Therefore, when Xiao Yan heard the name "Earth Core Tempering Milk" from Han Yue, even though he was used to seeing all kinds of high-grade medicinal materials, his heart skipped a beat.

"Are you planning to exchange the Earth Core Tempering Milk for the Ice Marrow Pill, Senior?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

“If I had the Earth Core Tempering Milk, I wouldn’t be asking you, junior,” Han Yue said with a slight smile. “However, this is the arena after all. If you are interested in the Earth Core Tempering Milk, you can come to Yue Ling to find me tomorrow morning.”

As she said this, Han Yue glanced cautiously at Zi Yan behind Xiao Yan. After all, it was Zi Yan who told her about the 'Earth Core Tempering Milk'. Although Zi Yan had also mentioned that she couldn't defeat the guardian beasts there, what if...?

To be honest, after discovering that Zi Yan and Xiao Yan had an unusually close relationship, Han Yue originally didn't plan to come to see Xiao Yan anymore. However, Lin Xiuya and the others insisted that they couldn't find common ground with Xiao Yan without using the Earth Core Tempering Milk as an excuse, so she came down.

After the results came out, these guys actually asked her to talk about the Earth Core Tempering Milk...

Therefore, after leaving a message, Han Yue glared fiercely at Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and Liu Qing behind her, then decisively turned around and left. She was also prepared that Xiao Yan would not be there tomorrow, and that the Earth Core Tempering Milk had disappeared.

"Are the three of you also helpers that Senior Sister Han Yue found?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, looking at Lin Xiuya and the other two, noticing Han Yue's actions.

“That thing would be of great benefit even to the few of us,” Lin Xiuya chuckled. “Moreover, the Strong Ranking Competition is just around the corner, so it would be best to get it before the competition starts.”

"Hey, don't let his nonchalant talk fool you, he's aiming for an academy elder position before graduation," Yan Hao chuckled. "The Earth Core Tempering Milk will help him achieve this goal even faster!"

The elder seats in the inner courtyard?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan carefully examined Lin Xiuya. At that moment, Xiao Yan realized that Lin Xiuya was not far from becoming a Dou Wang. Even without any auxiliary pills, he would be able to officially become a Dou Wang in less than a year at most. The Earth Core Tempering Milk could undoubtedly shorten this time considerably.

Besides Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing and Yan Hao were also close to stepping into the Dou Wang level, but they were slightly weaker than Lin Xiuya.

"But why did they come looking for me?" Xiao Yan asked curiously. After all, he had only been in the inner courtyard for less than two days, and he presented himself to the outside world as an ordinary Dou Ling.

“A fourth-grade pill that can cure fire poison is not a common item,” Liu Qing said. “If I hadn’t heard about the effects of the Ice Marrow Pill yesterday, I wouldn’t be here today.”

“We’re about the same,” Lin Xiuya said with a smile. “But it’s fortunate that we came today, otherwise we might have really overlooked you in the future Strong Ranking Competition.”

"So, it seems I shouldn't have revealed the effects of the Ice Marrow Pill yesterday?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

"Maybe?" Lin Xiuya shrugged. "Alright, let's leave now. If you're interested in the Earth Core Tempering Milk, go to Han Yue's Moon Spirit tomorrow!"

"I hope to see you at Yue Ling tomorrow!" Yan Hao nodded to Xiao Yan.

"See you tomorrow." Compared to Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao's gentle words, Liu Qing was much more straightforward, almost as if he clearly believed that Xiao Yan would definitely be attracted to the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

"Earth Core Tempering Milk? Is Brother Xiao Yan interested in that?"

After Lin Xiuya and the others left, Xun'er and Zi Yan gathered around, asking, "That thing isn't very useful to Brother Xiao Yan anymore, is it?"

On the way out of the arena with Xiao Yan, Xun'er asked a question that seemed rather strange.

"It still has some effect on body tempering," Xiao Yan said with a smile, "but the most crucial marrow cleansing has no effect on me anymore."

The devouring power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Netherworld Poison Flame had already cleaned all the impurities from Xiao Yan's limbs and bones. Even if there were any impurities that weren't completely cleaned, they were beyond the reach of the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

“For body tempering, I know of other medicinal herbs that are even more effective!” Zi Yan raised her hand high.

"Besides, I was the one who told that silver-haired woman the location of the Earth Core Tempering Milk. I can't even beat the big monkey over there. Even if you, Xiao Yan, go with them, you won't get any benefits."

"A big monkey?"

Compared to the fact that Zi Yan told Han Yue about the Earth Core Tempering Milk, the 'big monkey' that Zi Yan mentioned was more eye-catching. Therefore, Xiao Yan and Xun'er looked at Zi Yan almost simultaneously.

"A big white monkey, it seems to be ice-type," Zi Yan muttered. "After smelling it, I was thinking of just going over and stealing some, but that monkey spotted me, and I couldn't beat it..."

With these three keywords—monkey, white, and ice—Xiao Yan quickly pinpointed the true form of the giant monkey Zi Yan had mentioned.

"A fifth-tier Snow Demon Sky Ape? It's almost an adult..." Xiao Yan muttered softly. "Since it's already an adult, its berserk bloodline should be fully awakened, right?"

"Brother Xiao Yan is tempted?" Xun'er blinked and asked softly after hearing Xiao Yan's mutterings. "However, since Brother Xiao Yan has heard about the Snow Demon Sky Ape's berserk bloodline, he should also understand how terrifying the Snow Demon Sky Ape is after activating its berserk bloodline, right?"

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan with some worry, and prepared herself to have Ling Ying work overtime to find the Snow Demon Ape in the Sea of ​​Trees and take away the Earth Core Tempering Milk that it was guarding, as long as Xiao Yan said, "Even so, I still want the Earth Core Tempering Milk!"

"Only at the level of a five-star Dou Wang," Xiao Yan chuckled. "Even if I were alone, a mere five-star Dou Wang would be a piece of cake! Moreover, I might even be able to take advantage of the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape's strength and invincibility... and monopolize all the Earth Core Tempering Milk!"

"Do you need my help?" Zi Yan perked up instantly. She had her eye on the Earth Core Tempering Milk for a long time. If she weren't unable to defeat the Snow Demon Sky Ape, she would have drunk it all long ago...

'Perhaps some will remain...' Zi Yan muttered to herself after secretly glancing at Xiao Yan.

"If you, Ziyan, go too, it might end up with Lin Xiuya and the others ganging up on you!" Hearing Ziyan's words, Xiao Yan chuckled and rubbed her head.

"Anyway, they can't beat me..." Zi Yan muttered, but she understood that Xiao Yan said this because he didn't want her to go with him. "Then you must leave some for me!" She looked up at Xiao Yan pitifully.

"I know, I know!" Xiao Yan chuckled and patted Zi Yan's head, then looked at Xun'er, who seemed to be deep in thought, "Xun'er, do you need Earth Core Tempering Milk?"

"Hmm?" Xun'er, who was about to summon Ling Ying to find the Snow Demon Ape, blinked in confusion after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

"Does Xun'er want some too?" Xiao Yan nodded. "In that case... although it might be a bit unfair to my seniors, I guess I'll have to buy all of this Earth Core Tempering Milk by myself..."

"Father, eldest brother, second brother, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei..."

Seeing Xiao Yan seemingly counting the number of people who needed the Earth Core Tempering Milk, Xun'er blinked and decided to give Ling Ying a break, just like in the Jia Ma Empire, as long as Xiao Yan wouldn't get hurt.

When Ling Ying learned about this new mission, she was completely stunned.

"How can you guarantee that Young Master Xiao Yan won't get hurt?"

Recalling how Xiao Yan had casually killed a Soul Hall protector at the Yunlan Sect, Ling Ying muttered to herself, "Was it really necessary?"

*

The next day at noon, Xiao Yan and Lin Xiuya's group set off from Han Yue's Moon Spirit and arrived at a small valley outside a sea of ​​trees after about an hour.

This is a small valley near the mountain. The entrance to the valley is gourd-shaped, narrow at the top and wide inside. The valley is lush and green, but the rock walls are incredibly smooth, clearly indicating the presence of intelligent life.

"Is it right there?" Lin Xiuya raised an eyebrow as he looked at the valley. "So, Han Yue, how did you find this place?" He looked at Han Yue with a strange expression.
