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

"So, is it useful?" Lin Dong asked.

'Let me think about it...' Even Little Marten wasn't entirely sure if it would work for the time being.

the other side.

"You're still thinking about creating the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire?" After Xiao Yan said that, Yao Lao understood his thoughts. Xiao Yan thought helplessly, "Even if it were a real Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, it wouldn't offer much improvement to you or the Burning Flame Technique now, would it?"

'I mainly want to give it a try...' Xiao Yan muttered. 'The Blood Demon Flame is such a successful example right in front of us. Although it can't compare to the Strange Flame, we still have to give it a try... right?'

Moreover, the Burning Technique is currently only at the mid-Earth Rank. Even if it absorbs the Fallen Heart Flame, it certainly won't reach the Heaven Rank. But what if adding an artificial Myriad Beast Spirit Flame would make it successful?

After hearing Xiao Yan's little scheme, Yao Lao was both amused and exasperated, but he had to admit that Xiao Yan's words made some sense. However, the only problem remained—

Even if you successfully ripen it, how will you transform the Myriad Beast Fruit into Myriad Beast Spirit Fire?

When asked the question again, Xiao Yan gave the same answer as before: "There's always a way out... I guess so."

Chapter 235 Spirit-Nourishing Futon

The Ancient Sword Sect, the most powerful human force in the Ancient Abandoned Valley region, was therefore aware of the existence of ferocious beasts like the Ancient Dragon Ape within it.

"Third Elder, the Ancient Dragon Ape hasn't left the valley for more than ten days," a protector from the Ancient Sword Sect whispered to a gray-haired elder more than ten days later. "Moreover, according to the disciples at the front, its roar hasn't been heard in the vicinity of that valley for more than ten days."

Upon hearing this, the gray-haired elder narrowed his eyes. Everyone in the Great Wilderness Prefecture knew how terrifying the Ancient Dragon Ape was. Even if outsiders entered the Great Wilderness Prefecture, they would not recklessly enter the territory of a ferocious beast at the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm. Yet, they had not heard any news of the Ancient Dragon Ape for almost half a month...

This seems to indicate that the ferocious beast that constantly threatened the Ancient Sword Sect has met with misfortune.

"Have the disciples at the front prepare," the gray-haired elder instructed. "My two senior brothers and I will be heading to the Ancient Abandoned Ravine in a short while."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the guardian rushed towards the direction of the ancient abandoned ravine.

After organizing his thoughts, the gray-haired elder strode into the headquarters of the Ancient Sword Sect. If the Ancient Dragon Ape was truly dead, the Ancient Sword Sect's control area outside the Ancient Wasteland could be pushed inward once more. Even if the ferocious beast was unharmed, with his two senior brothers there, the three of them could return safely.

An ancient abandoned ravine, the site of the ancient dragon-ape's lair.

After more than ten days of waiting, the power that Xiao Yan had poured into the blood essence of the thousands of demonic beasts in the blood pool had been completely exhausted. The two Myriad Beast Fruits, which were originally one large and one small, had also swelled to the same size. Furthermore, the shape that resembled the limbs of various demonic beasts pieced together had gradually become rounder.

"This is somewhat unexpected..." Little Marten said with a strange expression, observing the Beast Fruit gradually rounding up above the blood pool. "The Beast Fruit actually has this shape?"

If the properties of the power contained in the Myriad Beast Fruit had not changed, and even if the total amount of energy within it had greatly increased, he would almost have thought that the nearly completed Myriad Beast Fruit had been ruined after adding the essence blood of the magical beasts provided by Xiao Yan.

"There are things you haven't seen before?" Lin Dong raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with amusement.

"I don't need any Beast Fruit to enhance or evolve my bloodline," Little Marten pouted. "However, it's a bit of a pity. If there were more Beast Fruits and Stupid Tiger's bloodline was slightly stronger, we wouldn't need such a troublesome bone-changing procedure."

"Sigh..." Lin Dong sighed helplessly upon hearing Xiao Diao's words.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" As soon as Xiao Yan entered from outside the valley, he heard Lin Dong sigh and immediately assumed that something had gone wrong with the Myriad Beast Fruit.

"No, there's nothing wrong with the Beast Fruit. It's several times better than the one refined by the Ancient Dragon Ape," Lin Dong shrugged and said with a smile. "It's just that looking at this Beast Fruit, which is several times more powerful, I'm a little hesitant about whether to let Xiao Yan eat it."

"Eat it directly? That's such a waste," Xiao Yan moved closer to Lin Dong and patted him on the shoulder. "With a master alchemist like me here, thinking of just taking the herbs directly is underestimating me."

"Didn't you say there wasn't a suitable pill formula?" Lin Dong looked at Xiao Yan, puzzled.

"That was ten days ago," Xiao Yan said with a smug smile. "After more than ten days of searching and research, I've almost figured out how to perfectly bring out the effects of the Myriad Beast Fruit. All I need to do is find some medicinal herbs later..."

The Myriad Beast Fruit can evolve an ancient dragon ape at the minor completion of the Creation Realm to a level comparable to the Nirvana Realm. Xiao Yan believes that with his refinement and catalysis, there is a high probability that Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan will evolve on their original basis. Although they will not reach the Nirvana Realm, at the level of the major completion of the Creation Realm, they should still have no problem defeating one or two Nirvana Realm cultivators who have not passed the Nirvana Tribulation.

As for the refinement of the physical body...

There aren't too many seventh-grade pills with similar effects. You can perfectly achieve this by replacing a few main ingredients with Beast Fruit and then replacing the rest with herbs that have similar medicinal properties. Although the quality of the pills refined after this modification may not be as good as the original version, as long as the level of the herbs used in the later stages is not too low, it is still possible to reach the level of a low-grade seventh grade pill.

"One furnace yields four pills... that's a bit challenging." Looking at the Myriad Beast Fruit above the blood pool, Xiao Yan revealed a somewhat subtle expression.

Making four pills in one batch is not a difficult task. The only problem is that there are only two Myriad Beast Fruits as the main ingredients, one of which is intended to be used to make a pseudo Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. In other words, Xiao Yan has no room for trial and error when refining pills.

'Fortunately, my level isn't too high...'

"Sect Leader, there's something ahead..."

As Xiao Yan was lost in thought, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out. Turning around, he saw several elderly men dressed in the robes of the Ancient Sword Sect. Judging from their Qi Creation Realm cultivation, they were likely elders of the Ancient Sword Sect. Behind them were dozens of disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect.

"Who are you two?!"

When Xiao Yan saw them, the gray-haired old man who had spoken earlier also noticed Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, and saw the two blood-red Beast Fruits above the blood pool.

Lin Dong, who already had no goodwill towards the Ancient Sword Sect, stepped forward upon hearing the man's shout and yelled, "Get lost!"

The cultivator's Yuan Power, at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm, was unabashedly crushed towards the people from the Ancient Sword Sect. Apart from the one at the Great Perfection of the Qi Creation Realm, who seemed to be the sect leader of the Ancient Sword Sect and was barely able to stand, everyone else was directly blown away by this force.

"The Creation Realm... Great... Success?"

Looking at Lin Dong's youthful face, the Ancient Sword Sect Master managed to utter five words with great difficulty.

"What is the status of your Ancient Sword Sect in the Great Wilderness Prefecture?" Before Lin Dong could use his spiritual power, Xiao Yan stopped him and asked, looking at the sect leader of the Ancient Sword Sect who was struggling to resist Lin Dong's aura.

"...barely able to make it into the top 100." After hesitating for a moment, and seeing that Lin Dong did not continue to make a move, the sect leader of the Ancient Sword Sect hurriedly spoke up.

"Spread the word for me," Xiao Yan said after a moment's thought, "I can exchange Creation-level cultivation techniques and martial arts for Demon Butterfly Flowers, Silver Dew Grass, Spirit Phoenix Grass, and Earth Spirit Flowers that are over 500 years old."

"A creation-level cultivation technique?" Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the head of the Ancient Sword Sect's eyes turned red.

“Yes, Creation-level,” Xiao Yan nodded. “As long as these four medicinal herbs are over five hundred years old, I can exchange them for Creation-level cultivation techniques. If they can reach the thousand-year level… Spiritual martial arts will not be a problem either.”

"Of course, we could try to snatch it. After all, the two of us are only at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm, aren't we? If dozens of equally powerful experts joined forces, we might still be defeated."

Dozens of equally powerful individuals working together?

The Ancient Sword Sect Leader's lips twitched slightly. Even in the Great Wilderness County, which ranks among the top counties in the Great Yan Dynasty, no force could deploy dozens of experts at the Great Perfection of Creation Realm at once. In other words, unless the top ten forces in the Great Wilderness County joined forces, they would be able to take down the two of you.

Although it was unclear whether these two "evil stars" who claimed to have destroyed the ancient dragon ape were exaggerating, the leader of the Ancient Sword Sect accepted the mission to save his own life and then left.

"Those medicinal herbs... are they needed to refine the Myriad Beast Fruit?" Lin Dong asked curiously after the others left.

“That’s right, but the age requirement is a bit high. There are only some less than a hundred years old in this ancient abandoned ravine, so even if we collect them, it’s useless,” Xiao Yan said with a casual smile. “The fact that the Creation Martial Stele has a chance to provide Creation-level martial arts or cultivation techniques is enough to attract so many people to come and see. After the Ancient Sword Sect leader spreads my words, most of the forces in the Great Wilderness County will go crazy for these four medicinal herbs. Even the top forces might bring out the most suitable medicinal herbs that are over a thousand years old.”

"But there's also the possibility that some people might not want to find medicinal herbs, but just want to cause trouble," Lin Dong complained.

"Then let's just wipe them out," Xiao Yan shrugged. "Anyway, there aren't any powerful figures in this Great Wilderness County that will give us any trouble."

Lin Dong smiled as well.

A few days later, after the Myriad Beast Fruit had fully ripened, the two of them refined the essence blood of the Ancient Dragon Ape and completed the cultivation of the Demonic Ape Transformation. Afterwards, they headed deeper into the Great Wilderness County.

Thanks to the sect leader of the Ancient Sword Sect, the two encountered many powerful individuals who recognized them on their journey. However, none of those individuals possessed the four medicinal herbs that Xiao Yan needed. The only one that appeared was of slightly different age and had suffered significant loss of medicinal properties due to issues with the harvesting method.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan decided to follow the example of the man who spent a fortune to buy a horse's bones. He exchanged the inherited cultivation technique of the Liu family of Dayang County with that person and hired a few people to spread the word, hoping that someone would come to him with medicinal herbs of sufficient age as soon as possible.

Although this matter caused a great stir, the first people Xiao Yan encountered were not those with medicinal herbs of sufficient age, but rather some daring thieves who either didn't believe that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong had the strength to reach the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm.

Without a doubt, these people were all extremely unlucky. One of them was even a Qi Creation Realm elder of the Yin Puppet Sect. However, in front of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, he was no different from an ordinary person, and they easily sent him to his death.

Since then, Xiao Yan and his companion have had a much easier time. At least, they haven't encountered any mentally challenged people on their way to Da Kui City.

The Great Puppet City is located deep within the Great Wilderness County, only about two days' journey from the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele. Furthermore, according to what Xiao Yan and Lin Dong learned along the way, the Great Puppet City will soon host the largest auction in the entire Great Wilderness County.

With the thought, "Perhaps we can find the medicinal herbs we need?" in mind, the two stepped into this huge city, which ranks among the top five in the Great Wilderness County.

Although the sect leader of the Ancient Sword Sect was weak and lacked strength, he was at least somewhat useful in terms of propaganda. Of course, this might also be due to the fact that the two of them had ruthlessly killed the elders of the Yin Puppet Sect some time ago. In any case, when Xiao Yan and Lin Dong entered the Great Puppet City, most of the passersby seemed to recognize them, and the two did not encounter any people blocking their way.

Soon, the two arrived at the auction held by the Martial Alliance in the Great Puppet City. After paying the Pure Yuan Pill, they successfully entered the inner area. After finding a spot slightly close to the auction stage, they closed their eyes in unison and waited for the auction to begin.

The two, completely different from the group of people around them wearing black straw hats, naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, after learning their identities... and mainly their strength at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm, all the gazes that had been fixed on them were withdrawn.

Two cultivators at the peak of the Creation Realm—only the three most powerful forces in the entire Great Wilderness Prefecture could handle them simultaneously, and the younger generation of those three forces…

Some of the more well-informed individuals glanced discreetly at the VIP section, where a woman in a black dress sat calmly, surrounded by a pale-faced man offering her his services.

As the VIP seats gradually filled, the auction finally began. Xiao Yan and Lin Dong opened their eyes, waiting for each item to be auctioned.

As time went on, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's faces grew increasingly helpless. Although the auction items were all of considerable value and rare treasures for most people in the Great Wilderness County, none of them could attract their attention. Even the best medicinal herb was only grade four.

"The next item we're going to bid on should also be a magical treasure, but it doesn't seem to be an offensive or defensive magical treasure; it can only be considered a support type of magical treasure."

On the auction stage, the host smiled and lifted the brocade cloth in front of him, revealing an ancient yellow futon. On the futon, there seemed to be many mysterious runes, and faintly, a strange power was permeating out.

"According to the appraisal of our Martial Alliance appraisers, this futon has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit. Although it does not help much with the cultivation of Yuan Power, it should be considered a good item for a talisman master..."

Upon hearing this, some people who had little experience in cultivating mental power shook their heads in disappointment, clearly uninterested.

The expressions on Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's faces became strange—

"My mental energy was repelled," Xiao Yan said softly, looking at Lin Dong.

"Me too," Lin Dong replied softly.

In an instant, the two realized that this time... they seemed to have gotten a great deal. A futon that could repel the spiritual power of a talisman master was, even if it only had the effect of nourishing the spirit, as the host said, it was still an incredible treasure!

"This Spirit-Nourishing Futon, auction price: 40,000 Pure Yuan Pills!"

"Forty-one thousand!"

"Forty-three thousand!"

"Forty-five thousand!"

……

There are quite a few powerful cultivators in the Great Wilderness County who cultivate spiritual power, and no one has noticed the special features of this futon. Therefore, although some people participated in the auction, no one raised the price to tens of thousands in one go.

Amidst the rising and falling bids, the price of the Spirit Nourishing Futon gradually increased to around 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills. After that, the bidders became much more cautious.

"Sixty thousand Pure Yuan Pills."

After the bidding subsided, a slightly feminine voice suddenly rang out, immediately silencing those who were eager to compete for the item. Following the sound, they saw that the person who had called out the bid was none other than Hua Zong of the Yin Kui Sect, who was at the very front.

Seeing this wealthy man make his move, many people shook their heads helplessly, clearly unable to compete with him. Therefore, after Hua Zong made his bid, the room fell silent for a while.

However, just when everyone thought Hua Zong was about to successfully acquire the item, a sudden voice interrupted—

"Seventy thousand Pure Yuan Pills."

Chapter 236 The Power of Fusion

The moment that voice rang out, the entire hall erupted in an uproar. Surprised gazes followed the sound, and the one who had spoken was Hua Zong of the Yin Kui Sect. The only people present whose status could rival his were Mu Qianqian, who was also in the VIP section, and Wu Ci of the Martial Alliance…

Then, everyone who looked in that direction saw Xiao Yan and Lin Dong sitting near the auction stage.

After seeing the two men's appearances, many people turned their attention back to Hua Zong, since the news that the Yin Kui Sect's elders had been killed by these two "outsiders" had already spread throughout the entire Great Wilderness Prefecture.

Upon seeing the person raising the price, Hua Zong's expression froze. However, after noticing that Mu Qianqian was also looking at him, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Eighty thousand."

"One hundred thousand!"
