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

Besides the various auxiliary ingredients and five core magic cores, the most important ingredients in this pill are the Yin-attribute Netherworld Pearl and the Yang-attribute Crimson Sun Flower. However, the Crimson Sun Flower is of a lower grade, so in order to match the Netherworld Pearl, Xiao Yan has put all the Crimson Sun Flowers he has into it.

Xiao Yan originally planned to go to the Blazing Roaring Tiger's hometown to fleece some more, but the Blazing Roaring Tiger family, which was Xiao Yan's target for fleecing, was wiped out by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Although Xiao Yan avenged them, the Crimson Sun Flower Field was completely gone.

Before coming here, Xiao Yan had considered whether to look for other Blazing Roaring Tigers, since there were likely yang-attribute herbs near the Blazing Roaring Tiger's lair. However, in order to save time, Xiao Yan had to put this matter aside for the time being. Of course, Xiao Yan was also unsure whether this kind of pill would be effective for Lin Dong.

After Xiao Yan explained why he couldn't refine the next pill, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't seriously injured while refining pills, everything would be fine. However—

"Medicinal herbs with Yang attributes... are not easy to find either." Lin Dong was also a bit overwhelmed.

He spent several months searching for the medicinal herbs needed to break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm. Although he was partly unable to defeat powerful soul beasts at the time, it still took a considerable amount of time. Now, he needs to find a large quantity of herbs of the same quality as the Crimson Sun Flower, or a small quantity of herbs of the same quality as the Netherworld Pearl…

The thought of this gave Lin Dong a headache.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Just take your time looking. I'll help you look anyway," Xiao Yan patted Lin Dong's shoulder, comforting him.

"really."

Lin Dong nodded. He was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm. After taking this pill, he estimated that he would reach the middle stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, which would be around level 40. With the condition of obtaining a soul ring, he could stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for several weeks or even one or two months. That would be enough time for him to find suitable herbs.

"Take the pill now while no one is around, and I'll protect you."

Now that it was confirmed that the pill would be effective for Lin Dong, Xiao Yan began to urge him on. After all, in his plan, he would only stay in Canghui City for less than half a day before heading to Chihuo Academy. If he was late, the hot-tempered Liu Erlong might arrive at Shrek Academy before him. If Yu Xiaogang cared too much about Tang San, he might ignore him and leave Soto City directly.

Although he could find them, Xiao Yan disliked doing things that allowed him to seek out people he disliked, but without the need to kill them.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Although his internal energy wasn't at its best because he had been trying to refine pills, Lin Dong could sense that the energy in this pill wasn't violent. So, after hearing Xiao Yan's words, he immediately responded, sat cross-legged on the bed, opened the jade bottle, and put the pill into his mouth.

Just as Lin Dong had expected, the energy in this pill was pure but not violent, and even very gentle. After he swallowed the pill, the yin and yang energies it transformed into gradually flowed into his dantian as he circulated his cultivation technique.

Under this infusion, Lin Dong could clearly feel that the Yuan energy cluster within his dantian was growing at an extremely impressive rate.

'What a powerful pill…'

Even though this wasn't the first time Lin Dong had experienced the direct feeling of his Yuan Power growing stronger, an overwhelming joy still welled up in his heart. After all, this time was different from the time at the Pill Immortal Pool. He didn't need to share or compete with others; this pure energy belonged entirely to him!

If there was any shortcoming this time, it was that the amount of energy was slightly less. With Lin Dong fully circulating his Yuan Power, the medicinal power of the pill quickly became somewhat diluted. After the medicinal power completely disappeared, Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes.

Mid-stage Heavenly Origin Realm!

Feeling the abundant Yuan energy within his limbs and bones, Lin Dong's face showed a hint of surprise. This pill saved him several weeks of hard training. He even felt that if he took three more of these pills, no, five or six more, he could push him to the Yuan Dan realm.

"Xiao..."

Lin Dong naturally intended to share this good news with Xiao Yan as soon as possible, but after looking around, he couldn't see Xiao Yan anywhere, so he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After confirming that you were in a stable state of absorbing the pill, he left.

While Lin Dong was somewhat surprised, Little Marten spoke up to explain.

"I see..." Lin Dong nodded, then picked up a scroll from the table where the soul bones had been piled up.

The scattered scrolls gave him a strong sense of déjà vu. If he remembered correctly, when they parted ways in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had given Xiao Yan a similar pile of various books and materials...

"Oh, right, while you were absorbing the elixir, I remembered hearing the name 'Ghost General' somewhere before."

Before Lin Dong could even open the scroll in his hand that read "Like a Dragon," Little Marten continued, "However, there's one thing Xiao Yan is mistaken about. The true form of that Ghost General shouldn't be at the level of a Great Talisman Master."

"Not the Great Talisman Sect?"

"If she were the Ghost King, she would be a Grand Talisman Master, but she is only a Ghost General, which means that even at her peak, she was only equivalent to a Revolving Mirror."

"What difference does it make to me now?" Lin Dong, who had thought he was about to hear some good news, couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Whether it's the Great Talisman Sect or the Reincarnation Mirror, I wouldn't survive even if they just glanced at me, right?"

'Hehe, that's true...'

Little Marten chuckled a few times and didn't bother Lin Dong any longer as he was looking through the Dragon's Decree.

'But is there really only one Demon General beneath that Yin-Yang Pool? Even the Dark Sacred Tiger of the Revolving Mirror could completely annihilate a Demon General.' However, although Little Marten stopped speaking, she still found it difficult to suppress her emotions.

'It requires a life to seal it... Could there be dozens or even hundreds of otherworldly demon generals below?'

"Little Marten, come and take a look at this Dragon's Decree." Lin Dong's voice interrupted Little Marten's thoughts.

"What are you looking at? What's so interesting..." Little Marten muttered as it crawled out of the stone talisman and landed in front of Lin Dong, carefully reading the Dragon-like Technique.

"hiss!"

Having only seen half of it, Little Marten couldn't help but gasp. "With this, your spiritual power would probably increase several times faster than your elemental power!"

"The prerequisite is finding high-grade materials."

"Oh, right."

Lin Dong's words brought Xiao Diao to his senses.

"Damn it, we're going to the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest in a few days!" The little sable gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Even if it's just to find you an initial soul weapon, we have to dig out everything inside!"

"The very center of the Star Dou Great Forest? What's inside?"

"I don't know!" Little Marten said righteously, "But I can sense that there must be several Nirvana Realm dragons in the very center of that forest, although I don't know if they are purebloods..."

The second half of the sentence was spoken a little softer, but he quickly cheered up again.

"But that dragon must have something good! Maybe it has materials that can be refined into a pure elemental treasure!"

"Are you sure you want to snatch something from a dragon in the Nirvana Realm?" Lin Dong stared at the little mink with the look of someone looking at an idiot.

"What do you mean by 'steal'? I'm just giving it a way out!" The little sable put its hands on its hips. "I'm a dignified Heavenly Demon Sable, how could I possibly be interested in a treasure from this backward world, one that might not even be purebred!"

"Don't overdo it, or we'll both get blasted out by that dragon." Lin Dong rolled his eyes.

"What's there to be afraid of? They're just a few Nirvana Realm cultivators!" Little Marten was quite confident and arrogant.

"I hope so."

"The first book is such a heavyweight, why don't you hurry up and look at the others?" Little Mink urged.

"Do you need to tell me?"

After setting the Dragon's Decree aside, Lin Dong opened the next scroll.

The two discussed what they would do next, tacitly ignoring the fact that Rulong Jue could forge weapons into soul artifacts, implying that Xiao Yan's martial soul was likely not innate, as if they had completely forgotten about it.

Chapter 77 Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference

Canghui City was not far from Chihuo City, where Chihuo Academy was located, and Xiao Yan arrived early the next morning.

Having learned the "rules" between advanced soul master academies from Zi Yue, Xiao Yan went straight to register his identity when the gates of Blazing Fire Academy opened.

"Lord Yanxiao, this is your Soul Master certificate and one-day pass."

After registration, the gatekeeper respectfully handed Xiao Yan the Soul Master certificate and a pass that Xiao Yan had previously submitted.

"A one-day pass?" After storing his Soul Master certificate in his Awakening Flame Ring, Xiao Yan looked at the pass with some surprise. "Isn't there any notification or anything? The pass has been issued already?"

The passage was obtained so smoothly that Xiao Yan even suspected that something was wrong.

"Chief Huo Wushuang instructed that if anyone named Yan Xiao or Xiao Yan comes to visit, a pass can be issued directly," the gatekeeper said respectfully. "He also specifically instructed that if you have any requests, you can let us take you to him directly."

'It was quite a grand affair...'

"In that case, please take me to him," Xiao Yan said with a smile after thinking to himself.

The security guard told the others what was going on, and then led the way.

The only thing that surprised Xiao Yan was that, even though it was early in the morning, the direction the gatekeeper led him to was neither the teaching building nor the dormitory building, but a building that looked somewhat like the Soul Arena he had seen in Soto City.

"The first winner of the second day of the Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference is Lei Tian from Thunder Academy!"

"Next, please have someone from Blazing Fire Academy come up!"

Upon entering the building, one hears the host's enthusiastic voice, followed by a room filled with boys and girls in brightly colored school uniforms.

"Chief Huo Wushuang is located in the very front row of the Blazing Fire Academy."

The guard's job of guiding the way ended there. After pointing out Huo Wushuang's location to Xiao Yan, the guard left immediately.

"Xiao Yan?"

As he approached the students of Blazing Fire Academy, he heard someone call his name. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw the two brothers, Fire Cloud and Fire Rain, whose hands and feet were covered in bandages.

"Are you done with your work?" Although the two people sitting in the last row couldn't move easily, they still greeted Xiao Yan warmly.

"I guess so. Blazing Fire Academy is quite lively today."

Seeing Huo Wushuang walk onto the stage, Xiao Yan simply sat down next to Huo Yun and asked, "What kind of competition is this?"

At the host's command, Huo Wushuang and the boy named Lei Tian on the other side began their battle.

"The Five Elements Academy's exchange meeting is held on average every two to three months to stimulate the passion for cultivation among students in each academy, and also to distribute prizes to outstanding students in each academy." Huo Yun shrugged.

"We were originally considered the main force of this exchange meeting, but unfortunately..." Huo Yu raised her hands, which were wrapped in bandages. However, although she said it was a pity, the expression on her face betrayed their true thoughts.

"Well, you can't blame us for not liking these kinds of exchange meetings."

Noticing the strange expression on Xiao Yan's face, Huo Yun coughed and said, "This kind of arena is not suitable for agility-type soul masters like us. Every time we go up, it's just a one-for-one exchange with the opponent. Not to mention that we're tired of seeing it at class reunions, we even despise ourselves."

"That's true, agility-based attacks aren't really suited for this kind of pure arena combat..."

As they were talking, Lei Tian, ​​the contestant on the stage, raised his hand to concede defeat, seemingly because he had exhausted his soul power and did not intend to continue fighting. After he left the stage, a boy from Shenfeng Academy took his place.

"Is this still a series of battles?" Xiao Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, a series of challenges. How about you try it out?" Huo Yu asked.

“I’m not even a student of your Blazing Fire Academy, so let’s forget about it,” Xiao Yan said with a smile, shaking his head. “By the way, when I came in, the gatekeeper said Huo Wushuang was some kind of… chief?”

"The chief is the person in charge of each grade. In addition to the unified lectures, the teachers will tell the chief the most of the cultivation tasks and requirements, and the chief will make the specific arrangements. Huo Wushuang is the chief of the third grade," Huo Yun explained.

"Then... if I want to go to the library of your Blazing Fire Academy, would it be helpful to find Huo Wushuang?" After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan asked a question that surprised Huo Yun and Huo Yu.

"The library? What would you be doing in a place like that?"

After exchanging a glance, Huo Yun asked.

“I always felt that there was something wrong with my martial soul,” Xiao Yan said with a shrug. “Isn’t your Blazing Fire Academy the one that knows the most about fire martial souls? I was thinking that your academy’s library should have some books that can help me answer this question.”

"Indeed, although it has only been around for about a hundred years, our academy must have the most knowledge about fire-attribute martial souls."

Clearly, both brothers agreed with Xiao Yan's reasoning.

“However, if we want to go to the library, we don’t have to wait for Huo Wushuang to step down,” Huo Yu said, glancing at the stage and thinking that Huo Wushuang’s soul power should still be able to take down two or three more people. “Let’s go find Huo Wu. She’s in the first row. She and Huo Wushuang are siblings and both are the dean’s children. With Huo Wu’s introduction, going to the library shouldn’t be a problem.”

Following Huo Yu's gaze, Xiao Yan saw Huo Wu in the first row of the Blazing Fire Academy.
