Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master.

"Then come on!"

Xiao Li gave the order, and the Yin-Yang Heart Flame transformed into a giant fire dragon, swallowing the milky white bead in Xiao Li's hand in one gulp.

click-

The bead shattered, and then milky white flames began to engulf the Yin-Yang Heart Flame. Sensing hostility, the split flames of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame immediately launched a counterattack! The Yin-Yang Heart Flame trembled all over from the onslaught of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Xiao Li and others were also affected by the attack of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

"As expected of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame! Even its divided flames are so powerful! But don't underestimate my bond with Yin and Yang!"

Xiao Li's fighting spirit began to be transmitted to the Yin-Yang Heart Flame. Sensing its master's power, the Yin-Yang Heart Flame immediately began to fight back, constantly plundering and devouring the energy of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

This wisp of Pure Lotus Demon Flame had little intelligence, only instinct. Under the combined attack of Yin Yang Heart Flame and Xiao Li, it could do nothing but passively defend itself.

To put it bluntly, it was just a wisp of flame without any intelligence, only its energy and level were astonishing, but in the end it was no match for Xiao Li!

I don’t know how long it took,

Xiao Li was as still as an old monk in meditation, while a black and white fire dragon coiled around his body!

The black and white fire dragon exuded an astonishing aura!

Chapter 219 Yin Yang Sacred Flame

hum-

Suddenly Xiao Li opened his eyes, and then the Yin Yang Heart Flame also opened its eyes and roared at the surroundings!

Roar--

An extremely powerful aura emanated from Yin Yang Heart Flame, appearing to possess the power of a half-saint!

"It's done!"

Xiao Li summoned the Yin-Yang Heart Flame, and he felt that its power had increased by a level! Originally, the Yin-Yang Heart Flame was only close to that of a half-saint, but now it was a genuine half-saint level strange fire!

In Xiao Li's opinion, the energy of the Yin-Yang Heart Flame at this moment is equivalent to that of a high-level semi-saint.

"Not bad, not bad. Calling it Yin Yang Heart Flame now would be a step below. In that case, you shall be called Yin Yang Holy Flame from now on. Half-saint is still saint, a saint-level strange fire!"

Xiao Li smiled. He could clearly feel that the power of the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame had increased significantly. Not only had the original Yin-Yang Twin Flames' abilities improved, but the abilities of the Fallen Heart Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flames that it had devoured had also improved.

Now it has also gained the purifying power of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!

Looking at the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame, Xiao Li realized that its current level was probably no less than that of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. If Xiao Li's cultivation level were to improve further in the future, the power of the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame would likely surpass that of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

Xiao Li stood up. Although his cultivation level had not improved significantly, his combat strength had increased considerably. The improvement of his natal flame naturally greatly enhanced Xiao Li's abilities!

Whether for fighting or alchemy, this Yin-Yang Sacred Flame is of the highest quality!

Xiao Li walked out of the secluded cultivation room and saw two old men playing chess.

"Ancestor, Elder Su, what's going on? Wait, Elder Su, you refined that precious pill?" Xiao Li asked in surprise.

When Tianyin Elder saw Xiao Li, he immediately beamed with joy: "Hahaha, thanks to your Grade Nine Treasure Pill, I am probably the first Dou Sheng among the current batch of Dou Sheng powerhouses in Zhongzhou to take a Grade Nine Treasure Pill."

Xiao Li immediately teleported to Elder Tianyin's side and asked, "Elder Su, how much has your cultivation improved? I didn't even know how much this Grade Nine Treasure Pill could improve your cultivation."

The old man Tianyin stroked his beard and said, "I have improved my cultivation by nearly one star. I can only say that it is worthy of being a grade nine treasure pill! I am now at the early stage of a two-star Dou Sheng, very close to the middle stage. I will probably be able to break through to the middle stage of a two-star Dou Sheng in less than three years."

You should know that at the Dou Sheng level, it's normal for someone to be stuck at a minor level for ten or even several decades. I roughly estimated that it would take at least thirty years to cultivate from the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng to the early stage of a two-star Dou Sheng!

"And you used up a Grade 9 precious pill in less than half a year! Truly worthy of being a Grade 9 pill."

Hearing Elder Tianyin's reflections, Xiao Li gained a clearer understanding of the Ninth-Grade Precious Pill.

"Understood, hehe, Elder Su, there will be plenty of Grade 9 precious pills in the future. You can mobilize the alliance and the power of Yin Valley to collect medicinal materials, and by the way, tell Ancestor Huoyun and the two immortals Qinghua that I can refine Grade 9 precious pills."

"If they want to improve their cultivation, they should collect pills, and I will refine them for them. Just don't cower in the back when facing the Styx Alliance and the Soul Palace in the future," Xiao Li said with a smile.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll go and talk to them myself. By the way, where do you plan to go next? Back to the Xiao family?” Elder Tianyin asked.

"Yes, I'm going home to visit. After all, I've been away from home for a while, and I have children to take care of," Xiao Li nodded.

"it is good."

. . . . . .

Northwest Continent, Gama Empire

Wutan City, Xiao Family

At this moment, Xiao Yan was lying on the back mountain, a blade of grass in his mouth, looking quite content. But in reality, he had given up and given up!

Two years after his fighting spirit mysteriously disappeared, Xiao Yan did not give up immediately, but continued to cultivate diligently. However, after cultivating diligently for so long, there was still no effect.

Too much Foundation Building Elixir was wasted, and even the usually amiable elders gradually turned pale.

Xiao Yan felt completely useless!

He raised his somewhat pale hand to shield his eyes, peering through the gaps between his fingers at the enormous silver moon in the sky.

"Ah~"

Recalling the test a few days ago, the results were: "Battle Aura, Level 3! Low-level!"

Xiao Yan sighed softly, lazily withdrew his hand, rested his hands behind his head, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and murmured:

"Ten years have passed, and I'll be eleven soon!"

Xiao Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable. He spat out the blade of grass, then pointed at the sky with a ferocious expression and cursed, "You brought me into this world just to treat me like trash? Damn it!"

After roaring and cursing a few times, Xiao Yan felt his frustration dissipate a bit, and then lay down again: "Since I'm crippled, then so be it. I'm still a young master, and I can live a life of wealth and honor! It's a pity about Yanran. Do I, such a useless person, deserve her?"

Quite a few rumors have already reached her ears, and my presence might really be causing her inconvenience.

Not far away, a girl was gripping the trunk of a tree tightly.

The tree bark creaked as she gripped it, and the girl took a deep breath.

"Xiao Yan, you are the man I have set my sights on. Why are you giving up? What makes you think you can give up? Are you really going to be defeated like this?"

Can mere rumors really affect me? Fine, fine, if that's how it is, then don't blame me!

This girl is Nalan Yanran. Now ten years old, she has the resources of the Xiao family due to her status. She has already reached the level of a three-star Dou Zhe, which is quite good. Among the younger generation of the Xiao family, she is considered to be among the top.

After Yun Yun took her as her disciple, she obtained many good things from Xiao Li to help Nalan Yanran build her foundation. Nalan Yanran's talent was already quite good, and with the addition of Dou Sheng bone marrow and the One Beginning Pill to build her foundation, her talent became even more outstanding!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a favored daughter of heaven, but even so, Nalan Yanran, though still proud, still got along well with Xiao Yan.

Perhaps because the two had known each other since childhood and had grown up together, which was a special friendship in itself, and because they were engaged, Nalan Yanran did not dislike Xiao Yan. In particular, when Xiao Yan showed his talent, Nalan Yanran was very envious.

After Xiao Yan became a cripple overnight, Nalan Yanran did not mock or ridicule him. Instead, she showed him through her actions that she would not look down on him.

It can be said that during Xiao Yan's period of being a "useless" person, his fiancée Nalan Yanran brought him a ray of hope! At that time, Xiao Yan was so eager to serve Nalan Yanran that he felt he was truly lucky to have married such a good wife.

However, as time went by, Xiao Yan's talent did not improve and he remained at the third level of Dou Qi. Some rumors reached Xiao Yan's ears, and Xiao Yan felt that he was no longer worthy of Nalan Yanran, so he hid in the back mountain alone.

Little did he know, Nalan Yanran had been watching his every move.

Behind Nalan Yanran, another girl was hiding. This girl had a cool and indifferent temperament, like a lotus just beginning to bloom. At such a young age, she already had a refined and otherworldly air. It was hard to imagine that if she grew up, she would become a peerless beauty who could topple kingdoms.

At this moment, the girl grabbed a flower and rubbed it vigorously: "Nalan Yanran, Nalan Yanran, Nalan Yanran, why are you everywhere! Why doesn't Brother Xiao Yan even glance at me?"

"I was here first! You stinky Xiao Yan brother! You mean Nalan Yanran! You're all bad!"

The young girl was muttering to herself, unaware that a huge change was about to occur that would alter the situation!

Chapter 220 Meeting with Elder Yao

(Third update, same as always, sigh, I'm exhausted)

Late at night, in Xiao Yan's room,

At this time, Xiao Yan was still working hard to cultivate Dou Qi. Although he had given up on the surface, he actually cultivated diligently every night.

hum-

Suddenly, a soul fluctuation came, and Xiao Yan collapsed, lying on the bed in a very "peaceful" manner.

whoosh-

The next instant, Xiao Li appeared in Xiao Yan's room, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Master Medicine, won't you come out and greet me?" Xiao Li said calmly.

"Ah~ I knew it. Your Xiao family's higher-ups all know of my existence." An aged voice rang out.

A wisp of white smoke emerged from the Bone Flame Ring, eventually coalescing into a slightly transparent, aged figure.

"Venerable Medicine Master, I have long admired your name. During my travels across the continent, quite a few busybodies have compared you to me," Xiao Li said with a smile.

Yao Zun Zhe, Yao Chen, Yao Lao are legendary figures. Yao Lao was an indispensable key to Xiao Yan becoming the Flame Emperor!

Xiao Yan without Yao Lao is soulless! The anti-inflammatory combination is essential.

"Hehe, this saint is too modest. My reputation is only due to the hype from my friends on the mainland. In my previous life, I was just a soul at the peak of the Spirit Realm. Now that I have died once, I have gained some insights."

"But compared to you, a soul of the Heavenly Realm, I am still far inferior!" Elder Yao was also very modest.

"Venerable Yao, your current soul state is not bad. You have about the strength of a three or four-star Dou Zong. In this Jia Ma Empire, as long as you don't provoke those few Dou Zong experts, you can walk sideways without any problem." Xiao Li looked Yao Chen up and down.

After all, he had previously given Elder Yao two Spirit Fusion Pills, enough to restore some of Elder Yao's soul.

"Hehe, I have to thank you for the Spirit Fusion Pill. Let's cut to the chase. A powerhouse like you, whose alchemy skills are even superior to mine, why have you kept me here until now?"

The old apothecary got straight to the point. He didn't understand why this half-saint powerhouse, who might be a ninth-grade alchemist, was being so polite to him. Having spent so much time in the Central Plains, the old apothecary naturally knew what was most attractive about him.

But the half-saint powerhouse named Xiao Li in front of him was clearly superior to him in alchemy. What was his purpose? It's no wonder that the old apothecary thought this way. After all, he had already been betrayed by Han Feng once. Having been betrayed by someone close to him, the old apothecary would never trust anyone again.

Even if it were Xiao Yan, Yao Lao had ulterior motives. He wanted to trick Xiao Yan into cultivating the strange "Burning Technique" at a suitable opportunity and then help him be resurrected!

"My purpose, of course, is to need the help of you, the number one alchemist on the continent. Of course, I'm also itching to have a match with you, the number one alchemist on the continent," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

The old alchemist suddenly sneered: "The number one alchemist on the continent? Do you believe that title? At your level, you must know at least some secrets."

"Of course I know. We are both descendants of the imperial family, so what can't we know? It's just that the Medicine Clan is truly blind. How could they not invite you back, a peak Ninth-Rank Dou Zun and an Eighth-Rank peak alchemist in your lifetime?"

"Hehe, in my opinion, the Medicine Clan is nothing but withered bones in a tomb, utterly useless," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Your Excellency, isn't it a bit much to speak of my Medicine Clan in this way? After all, the Medicine Clan are descendants of the Medicine Emperor. Although this generation is not very good, isn't such verbal humiliation a bit excessive?"

The old man frowned and said, "Although he was an outcast of the Yao clan and had a bad relationship with the Yao clan, he was still a member of the Yao clan. Naturally, he could not tolerate others insulting his family."

"That's a bit much, but can't we even criticize them for being blind? Alright, let's talk about the conditions. I hope you'll take Xiao Yanzi as your disciple. As for the purpose, well, there's no grand purpose."

As for the reward, hmph, I possess a method of resurrection. I will personally resurrect the Venerable One, and perhaps even help him take that step to become a Medicine Saint.”

Xiao Li smiled lightly.

Xiao Li's reward was very generous. Even though Yao Lao knew there was a catch, he couldn't refuse. After all, he really wanted to be resurrected. He still had too many regrets to fulfill and couldn't die like this!

"Alright, I agree." After pondering for a moment, the old man finally agreed, as he still had too many regrets to fulfill.

"A wise choice. Let me show you the reward first." Xiao Li took out a corpse.

"This is! The remains of a Battle Saint! He doesn't look like he's been dead for long!" Yao Lao exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right! This is the skeleton of a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage. With your current Tianjing soul potential, you can cover this skeleton. With the help of this skeleton’s abilities, you should be able to break through to Dou Sheng.” Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

As Yao Lao looked at the remains, his eyes were filled with fervor. Back then, he had already cultivated to the peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun, just half a step away from the Saint Realm, but he had never been able to find the right feeling.

Yao Lao was confident that if he had broken through again back then, even if he were a half-saint, the Soul Palace would have to think twice before making a move against him.

Although Yao Lao was killed by the Soul Palace and Han Feng, he did not come away empty-handed. His soul underwent a transformation due to his death, and although it is now weak, it is still a Heavenly Realm soul!

If he could be resurrected, even in the body of a Dou Zong, he was confident that he could take that crucial step forward with the help of his soul power!

Now that a ready-made Dou Sheng skeleton is right in front of him, it would be impossible for Yao Lao not to be tempted.

"How about it, Venerable Medicine? Are you tempted? Help me nurture Xiao Yanzi properly, and I will personally revive you and help you become a Dou Sheng expert in one step. With your talent and alchemy skills, you can refine ninth-grade pills after reaching the Dou Sheng level, right?"

As for the Black Demon Lightning and such, don't be afraid, there will be a solution. By the way, Yao Wangui of the Medicine Clan is only a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, and his soul power is only at the late stage of the Heavenly Realm. He's really a piece of trash.

"Does the Medicine Venerable not want to trample him underfoot?" Xiao Li grinned.

"Yao! Wan! Gui!" Old Yao was immediately enraged, then looked at Xiao Li: "Fine! I'll do it! As long as I can beat Yao Wan Gui to a pulp, I'll serve you without any complaints!"

"That's all. By the way, Elder Yao, do you still have an old flame looking for you? The Green Fairy of the Flower Sect still can't forget you, can she? When she talked to her, she even asked me to find your whereabouts!" Xiao Li said with a grin.

Yao Chen blushed slightly; he had indeed been quite the ladies' man in his youth. "Ahem, those were just some romantic entanglements from my younger days. By the way, could you tell me about your method of resurrection? I also have a method of resurrection; could you compare our methods?"

“Of course, my method is to use the Yin-Yang Reversal Pill, the remains, and the essence blood of the demonic beast, and use my strange fire, the Yang fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, to calcine them. By using the vitality of the Yang fire, the soul and the body can be fused together. It takes a long time, but it is safe,” Xiao Li said slowly.
