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

So, what's your choice?

"Should I use soul bones to temporarily store toxins until I can no longer store them and die from the explosion, or should I refine poison pills and live until I die of old age?"

After explaining the main and auxiliary medicines, Xiao Yan immediately asked this question.

One option is to resolve the poisoning immediately, while the other is to wait an unknown amount of time. At least, the poison in his body cannot be resolved until he finds a poison-attribute soul beast of sufficient age and Xiao Yan refines a pill to neutralize the poison...

Faced with these two choices, Dugu Bo was momentarily at a loss. Both methods were extremely tempting to him, regardless of which one he chose to give up—

"Can I choose both?"

While struggling with his thoughts and hesitation, Dugu Bo "accidentally" blurted out his true feelings.

Should I choose both?

Xiao Yan was taken aback, then looked at Dugu Bo with some suspicion, "It's possible... but you're not actually after that external soul-attached bone, are you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Dugu Bo's expression became slightly unnatural.

“If you want an external soul bone, I can give it to you directly,” Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. “But you’d better wait until the Poison Pill technique is successful before absorbing it. Although it’s not a precious thing, if it’s been corroded by your toxins, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.”

"Moreover, the Poison Pill technique will at least push your soul power to level 95 or higher. When you absorb the external soul bone at that time, it might push it up another level or so."

"The Poison Pill technique can make me a Super Douluo?!" Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“Of course,” Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. “The pill I gave you last night was only a fourth-grade healing medicine. If nothing unexpected happens, the pill made from this flower will be a fifth-grade pill, and it will also have the effect of increasing strength. What’s wrong with raising you to Super Douluo?”

"Okay, then let's do as you say!"

Despite being a "prisoner," Dugu Bo felt like he had made a huge profit!

·

"This is the final place..."

Outside Dugu Bo's poison array, Lin Dong, dressed in a green robe, looked at the high mountain in front of him with a sense of loss. "If I still can't find it... I guess I'll just have to go find Xiao Yan like this."

It took Lin Dong three months to search almost every forest on the entire continent where Yin-Yang attribute herbs might exist. As for the harvest...

"These herbs should be enough to refine a Five Elements Yin Yang Pill, right?" Lin Dong felt a headache coming on as he recalled the herbs he had stored in his storage ring.

This continent is great in every way, except that the quantity and quality of medicinal herbs are too low. Not to mention herbs of the same level as the Netherworld Pearl that Xiao Yan took out, there are hardly any herbs of the same level or quantity as the Crimson Sun Flower. The ones he had were barely gathered after robbing the overlords of various Soul Beast Forests.

"Hopefully, I'll gain something." With a sigh, Lin Dong lifted his leg and stepped into the poison array.

The poison array set up by Dugu Bo was somewhat effective, but for Lin Dong, whose second soul ring brought a special "space" natal spirit talisman, the poison array was basically just for show. Its only use was to make Lin Dong stop and put on a spatially displaced "shell".

After passing through the poison array, Lin Dong casually canceled the spatial displacement. Then, in the next instant, just like Xiao Yan who was breaking through the poison array for the first time, Lin Dong's eyes also lit up instantly—

"Little Mink!"

“Hmm, I can feel it, a very strong Yin and Yang energy,” Little Marten’s voice rang out. “It should be in the center of this mountain, but I don’t know if it’s the center of the valley or the center of the mountain range.”

"Never mind that, let's get to the top of the mountain first!"

Lin Dong was incredibly excited. After discovering that a poison array had been set up outside the mountain range, he had prepared himself for the interior to be empty and devoid of anything. Who would have thought that he would feel such a rich Yin and Yang energy as soon as he entered?

Lin Dong felt that as long as he found a spiritual object that emitted such Yin and Yang energies, he could directly break through to the Yuan Dan realm with that spiritual object!

In order to save time, Lin Dong used spatial teleportation as a means of travel. Although it consumed a lot of Yuan energy, he arrived at the mountaintop in just a few breaths. Then, he noticed the strange, inverted cone-shaped valley and the Yin and Yang energies emanating from it that made him feel refreshed.

"Come on, hurry down, I smell something nice!" Little Mink urged.

"A pleasant smell?"

"The dragon's scent and bloodline concentration are similar to that of the mother dragon... but it should be slightly weaker," the little ferret explained excitedly. "However, that mother dragon is alive, but this dragon down below doesn't look alive at all!"

The only dragon that Little Mink keeps mentioning is the silver dragon in the mysterious space beneath the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon receiving this news, Lin Dong jumped into the clouds and mist in the valley without hesitation.

·

'Hmm? Lin Dong?'

Although he hadn't unleashed his spiritual power, Xiao Yan still managed to sense the obvious changes in the clouds above.

Then, Xiao Yan discovered Lin Dong in free fall.

When Xiao Yan's spiritual power made contact with Lin Dong, Lin Dong also sensed that Xiao Yan was below him. He immediately activated his Yuan Power and used spatial teleportation to appear beside Xiao Yan.

"You appeared just as I was about to start refining the pills. You're quite lucky."

Xiao Yan was not surprised at all that Lin Dong had appeared beside him in an instant, and greeted him casually.

"What kind of good luck is this?" Lin Dong said helplessly. "I've traveled all over the continent for three months and haven't found many Yin-Yang attribute herbs. The total number of them is less than what's in this valley."

As they spoke, Lin Dong's gaze swept across the valley. The various herbs beside the red and white springs ignited his interest, and the red and white spring water itself thrilled him. As for Dugu Bo standing to one side and the Lu sisters further away...

Lin Dong simply ignored it.

"Uh, who is this...?"

Although being ignored by Lin Dong was a bit upsetting, Lin Dong was clearly Xiao Yan's friend, so Dugu Bo didn't dare to say anything more. He gave an awkward laugh and then asked.

“My friend’s name is Lin Dong,” Xiao Yan smiled. “He is Dugu Bo, the famous Bi Lin Douluo in the Soul Master world. This herb garden was his just half an hour ago.”

Half an hour ago?

Lin Dong understood immediately and extended his hand to Dugu Bo, "Hello, you can just call me Lin Dong."

"Hello."

"Alright, since you're here too, let's refine the Five Elements Yin Yang Pill first," Xiao Yan stretched, "Dugu Bo also wants to see my pill refining methods..."

"Actually, we don't need to refine the Five Elements Yin-Yang Pill anymore," Lin Dong interrupted Xiao Yan. "The Yin and Yang energies in this spring are extremely concentrated. As long as we absorb it..."

"The yin and yang energies inside come from two giant dragons that have been dead for a long time."

Xiao Yan naturally knew the concentration of Yin and Yang energies in the spring water. However, since the spring water originated from the two giant dragons, if a large amount of it were lost in a short period of time, the spring water might quickly lose its spirituality.

"If we have enough auxiliary ingredients, we can definitely make three pills from one batch. The materials in this herb garden are enough to refine six pills. Just for advancing the level, that should be enough, right?"

After expressing his concerns, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Dong helplessly.

"I still have some materials here, perhaps enough for one batch of medicinal herbs." After a brief hesitation, Lin Dong nodded. As for the dragon soul that Little Marten wanted...

Let's talk about it later!

Chapter 101 Peak of Fifth Rank?

After selecting a few items from the materials provided by Lin Dong, Xiao Yan turned around and walked towards two plants standing in the center of the pure white and vermilion pool.

"That...isn't it highly poisonous?"

Noticing that Xiao Yan took out a dagger from his soul tool, seemingly preparing to pluck the large octagonal flower in the center of the pure white pool, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.

Although Dugu Bo was not clear about the medicinal properties of this plant, the chill he felt when he got close to it was enough for him to be certain that it contained an extremely terrifying cold poison.

"Highly poisonous? Perhaps."

Dugu Bo's words did not interrupt Xiao Yan's actions. After the dagger casually slashed, the eight-pointed flower fell to the ground and was sent by Xiao Yan's spiritual power to the herbs on the shore. In an instant, a chill spread out and a layer of light white frost covered the surrounding herbs.

“All medicinal herbs, without special refining, can be considered highly poisonous,” Xiao Yan said, as he approached the cabbage-like plant in the vermilion pool.

"Although we don't know the extraction methods for these two herbs, we don't need to know too much about them this time. After all, their medicinal properties are opposite yet equivalent, so extracting them together is the best method."

The stem of the fiery red plant was severed by a slender jade ruler and fell into Xiao Yan's hand.

Feeling the warmth of the cabbage in his hand, Xiao Yan's eyes twitched slightly. He considered himself the most familiar with flames in this place, yet he could feel the warmth on it. If he placed it directly next to the medicinal herbs, wouldn't it ignite the other herbs?

"Teacher, may I borrow the Bone Spirit Cold Flame?"

After speaking to Yao Lao in his heart, Xiao Yan took out dozens of high-quality jade bottles from the Awakening Flame Ring while summoning Yao Lao's dark white flame.

Looking at the pale white flames swirling in Xiao Yan's hand, Lin Dong's lips twitched slightly. He had seen Xiao Yan's flames, which originated from the Ice Flame Wolf, before, but compared to the pale white flames... those Ice Flame Wolf flames were like trash.

'This thing...'

The voice of Little Marten, who had hidden behind the stone talisman after seeing Xiao Yan, rang out.

'Why does it feel like the flames summoned by the wielder of the Flame Ancestral Symbol are even stronger? He's clearly only at the Yuan Dan level, isn't he?'

The little sable who had once seen the flames summoned by the Flame Ancestral Symbol holder in the Chaotic Demon Sea had a toothache. There were countless realms between the Yuan Dan Realm and the Reincarnation Realm, yet he actually thought that this white flame was stronger than the flames summoned by that person.

While Lin Dong and Xiao Diao were struggling with their decision, Xiao Yan had already manipulated the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to melt and solidify the jade bottles into a sizable jade basin. The jade basin, with all impurities removed, looked crystal clear, like a blue lotus.

After placing the fiery red medicinal herbs in the jade basin and covering it with a lid, Xiao Yan felt reassured and placed it in the center of the pile of herbs.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He flicked his finger, and a pure black medicine cauldron, large enough to hold Xiao Yan's entire body, suddenly appeared and landed on the shore.

The black medicine cauldron was quite robust, exuding a calm and composed aura. Lifelike flame totems were painted on its surface, and faint flame energy gathered around it.

"What a fine cauldron!"

Looking at the imposing black medicine cauldron, Lin Dong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The bronze cauldron he had refined himself was of a decent grade, barely qualifying as a high-level spiritual treasure, but compared to this black medicine cauldron, it seemed extremely shabby.

Dugu Bo looked at the medicine cauldron with some surprise and uncertainty. It seemed to be his imagination, but he felt that the aura of this medicine cauldron was stronger than the true form of all the weapon spirits he had ever seen.

'Is it just my imagination?' Dugu Bo muttered to himself.

"This cauldron is called the Black Demon. There are probably only twelve other cauldrons on the entire continent that can compare to it."

Xiao Yan chuckled. As for the "entire continent" he mentioned, it naturally referred to the Dou Qi Continent. Apart from the Black Demon, the twelve "Heavenly Cauldrons" were also his targets for collection.

"Black Demon? Truly imposing." Lin Dong clicked his tongue in amazement.

Seeing Lin Dong's envious expression, Xiao Yan smiled. Without explaining the origin of the Black Demon Cauldron, he took a deep breath and moved his palm slightly. Deep purple flames quickly appeared, but before placing his palm close to the diamond-shaped fire mouth of the cauldron, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment.

The next moment, the deep purple flames quickly receded. After the flames disappeared completely, a ball of red and blue flames appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. He flicked his finger, and the two-colored flames swirled inside the cauldron.

'Oh no, my dragon soul!'

Before Lin Dong could examine the flames rising from the cauldron closely, the little sable's mournful cry came from the stone talisman.

'Your dragon soul?' A somewhat surprised voice echoed in Lin Dong's mind. 'What do you mean?'

"The flames in his hands...the dragon soul beneath the pool is within those flames!" Little Marten wailed. "I've been craving them for so long, just wanting a taste! How could he have gotten there first?"

The little sable wailed. As a renowned Heavenly Demon Sable, he had eaten almost anything. He had even tasted several demon beasts with dragon bloodlines, and he still remembered that taste. He thought he would have a great feast this time, but he was too late. The dragon soul had already become someone else's possession.

"You mean the word 'greedy'?" Lin Dong's eyes twitched slightly. He had even planned to help Little Marten find that dragon soul.

You didn't hear anything.

After saying that, Little Marten declined to see any more guests.
