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

"I don't know. The success rate of blindly absorbing a different kind of fire is almost zero. Xiao Yan has made so many preparations, plus the foundation he laid in his childhood. The success rate is probably a little over 20%," Xiao Li said slowly.

"Huh? Less than 30%? That's too exaggerated!" Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed in surprise.

"Girl, do you think it's so easy to fuse different flames? Xiao Yan's success rate is already quite high," Xiao Li sighed.

Looking down at Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor felt a sense of helplessness, but then looked at Xiao Li with a determined gaze: "Grandpa, I want to go to the Chuyun Empire."

"Go to the Izumo Empire? Why? That place is much more chaotic than the Gama Empire," Xiao Li said, frowning.

"I want to become stronger. I possess the Calamity Poison Body, and there are many poison masters in the Chuyun Empire. I can grow rapidly there, and I want to protect Xiao Yan," Little Fairy Doctor said firmly.

"Is it absolutely necessary to go? Even in the Xiao family, you can continue to grow stronger. The Calamity Poison Body only requires taking poison; there are no bottlenecks." Xiao Li asked.

"I absolutely have to go, Grandpa. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore. Strong people can't be raised in a greenhouse. Thank you, Grandpa, for giving me a family again. If I ever truly lose my mind in the future, please..."

Little Fairy Doctor was about to say something discouraging when Xiao Li interrupted her.

"No need to say such discouraging things. Even the Dou Zong level Calamity Poison Body that Elder Yao mentioned is nothing but child's play in front of me. I can deal with a mere poison body outbreak in no time."

Don't overthink it. If you want to cultivate, then go ahead. Take this space jade piece with you. If you encounter any fatal danger, crush it. I'll be there in a few breaths.

"Not just anyone can bully my granddaughter. You probably don't know how famous your grandfather is on the continent." Xiao Li patted Little Fairy Doctor's head, letting her feel the warmth of family love once again.

"By the way, I'll come find you in a while. You'll have to put on a show for me. You don't need to say anything. Just dress yourself up in rags, like someone has defeated or captured you. The more miserable, the better."

Then just pretend to be unconscious, and don't worry about anything else. If you're worried about not being able to hold back your laughter, just make your own sleeping potion and knock yourself out," Xiao Li said with a smile.

Little Fairy Doctor sensed that Xiao Li's smile was a little mischievous: "Grandpa, your smile looks like that of a bad guy, Fairy knows."

Xiao Li nodded and then looked down: "Wow, Little Yanzi is pretty good. He has already survived the pain of being tempered by the Netherworld Poison Fire! Now it's time to completely tame the Netherworld Poison Fire."

Little Fairy Doctor also took a look and found that Xiao Yan's skin had completely returned to its normal color.

Inside the cave,

"Success!"

Looking at Xiao Yan, whose skin color had returned to normal, Yao Lao breathed a heavy sigh of relief. His face was filled with a gratified smile. He nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and the little Na Ling on the ground turned into a gray light and shot straight into Xiao Yan's body.

As the spirit entered Xiao Yan's body, in an instant, a purple flame shield suddenly emerged from within Xiao Yan's body, finally enveloping him. The purple flames swirled on it, isolating everything except Xiao Yan from the outside.

Next came Xiao Yan's metamorphosis. After completely subduing the Netherworld Poison Fire, Xiao Yan gained an immune body to all poisons, rendering the Izumo Poison Master useless in his presence.

Chapter 233 Evolution

Inside the cave, the purple light barrier emitted a scorching and highly poisonous aura.

Both Yao Lao and Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yan had overcome the most difficult step, and his success rate was already over 70%. If there were no unexpected events, as long as Xiao Yan could store the Netherworld Poison Fire into his Soul Storage, he would be considered to have succeeded completely.

As time went by, the meridians in Xiao Yan's body that were originally destroyed by the Netherworld Poison Fire were now rebuilt by the Netherworld Poison Fire and were stronger than before. They were even no longer afraid of poison and high temperatures.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan woke up again, this time with a smile on his face, and then moved his body a little.

"You brat, do you enjoy running around naked in front of this old man? Little Fairy Doctor isn't here, what use is it for you to show yourself to me?" The old man's voice came.

Xiao Yan felt a chill on his body. It turned out that his clothes had been burned. Xiao Yan immediately took out a new set of clothes from his storage ring.

"Huh? Your cultivation level? Can refining a strange fire increase one's cultivation level?" Yao Lao asked, looking at Xiao Yan's aura with a puzzled expression.

"Is it not possible? Last time I refined a wisp of Netherworld Poison Fire and improved my cultivation level, didn't I?" Xiao Yan was equally puzzled.

"How can you improve like that? You went straight from a two-star Dou Shi to a seven-star Dou Shi! Even taking pills wouldn't be this fast!"

Xiao Yan then realized that his cultivation level had actually increased by five stars!

At a cultivation level of five stars, it would take Xiao Yan at least a year to achieve that. How could he have improved so much so quickly? And his foundation doesn't feel weak at all.

"Teacher, isn't this just automatically leveling up by refining a different kind of fire?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and asked.

"Are you dreaming? The benefits of refining strange flames are long-lasting and implicit. In the years to come, the more proficient you become in controlling them, the greater the benefits will be."

In other words, during the initial period after refining, one's strength will not experience any supernatural surge due to absorbing the strange fire. I've never encountered such a thing, and I'm sure your second uncle hasn't either.

Therefore, in the short term, the strange fire won't directly boost your strength. Your situation is extremely lucky, but it's a pity. If your current strength were at the Dou Ling or Dou Wang level, and you were to surge a few more stars, that would be a real windfall.

Yao Lao stroked his beard and then looked at Xiao Yan. Comparison is the thief of joy. Why wasn't he so lucky when he refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame? Moreover, Yao Lao always felt that he had lost something important when he refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!

"Hehe, I was just lucky. Fortunately, Second Master helped me build my foundation from a young age, which made my body resilient enough to increase my cultivation by five stars in one go. I could barely control it. If it went any higher, I wouldn't be able to."

"I still prefer to cultivate step by step. I always feel like I'll suddenly fall if I try to climb too high all at once," Xiao Yan said, rubbing his nose.

"The little fellow knows when to stop, not bad. Let me see your Netherworld Poison Fire!" the old medicine master stroked his beard and said.

"Alright, Netherworld Poison Fire, appear!"

As Xiao Yan roared, his right palm trembled slightly, and then a surge of pale purple flames instantly burst forth, quickly enveloping his palm.

Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed on the pale purple flame in his palm. The corners of his mouth kept turning up, and after a while, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears. A soft laugh came from his throat. After a while, the soft laugh finally turned into a loud and complete maniacal laugh.

"Hahahaha, I, Xiao Yan, have finally obtained a different kind of fire! Second Master, did you see that I, Xiao Yan, have a different kind of fire? I have completed your test!"

"I see them." A voice came from behind Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan turned around and saw Xiao Li and Little Fairy Doctor standing behind him.

"Second Grandfather, look!" Xiao Yan excitedly waved his right hand, the flames on it particularly eye-catching.

"Hahaha, I saw it, I saw it! Congratulations, Xiao Yanzi." Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder.

"Congratulations, Xiao Yan," Little Fairy Doctor also offered her blessings.

Xiao Yan touched his nose smugly.

"Alright, let me see how the Burning Technique devours and evolves from different flames," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Well, how about letting Xiao Yanzi rest for a day? After all, he just refined the strange fire, and his mental state isn't very good," Yao Lao suggested.

"also!"

. . . . . .

one day later,

"Let's begin." Xiao Yan opened his eyes. He had already evolved the Burning Technique twice. The first time, he absorbed a sixth-order beast fire and upgraded the Burning Technique to the middle level of the Yellow Rank. The second time, he refined a wisp of Netherworld Poison Fire and upgraded the Burning Technique to the high level of the Yellow Rank.

Now that it's the complete Netherworld Poison Fire, I wonder what kind of evolution the Burning Technique will take!

"You are the number one person to cultivate the Burning Flame Technique, but I don't know if the Burning Flame Technique can truly evolve," Yao Lao said uncertainly.

"It can evolve! I'm sure it can. Your 'disciple' seems to have also cultivated the Burning Technique. He's currently in the Black Corner Region, refining a Sea Heart Flame and other artificial strange flames. His cultivation technique is equivalent to the low-level Earth Rank."

Xiao Li crossed his arms and said.

At this moment, Yao Lao was somewhat agitated, and his soul power was somewhat unstable. Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan, who were standing to the side, looked at Yao Lao with some fear.

Finally, Xiao Yan mustered his courage and asked, "Teacher, who is the outstanding disciple that Second Master mentioned? Do you have any other disciples, like my senior brother?"

The old doctor shook his head: "That's a beast! I'm in this state because of him! I won't tell you any more! I'll tell you later."

"Hehe, teacher, don't worry, I will definitely clean house for you in the future! Even if this evolution technique fails, I think I still won't give up on it. You said it's a necessity for me to reach the peak of power!"

Furthermore, Master, your body still needs the flames produced after evolving the Burning Technique to be tempered. Giving up cultivating the Burning Technique is tantamount to giving up your hope of resurrection. I am unwilling and will not comply with giving up cultivating the Burning Technique!

With a smile on his face, Xiao Yan began to absorb the Netherworld Poison Fire to evolve his cultivation technique.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao wiped the corner of his eye with his hand, only to find no tears: "Hehe, at least I didn't go blind again. Since you insist, then go. My good disciple, even if the Burning Technique cannot evolve, I will do everything in my power to make you a strong person!"

. . . . . .

As time passed, Xiao Yan indeed encountered a problem when trying to devour the strange fire. The energy of the Netherworld Poison Fire was too immense, and Xiao Yan, being only a Dou Shi, was unable to successfully devour it.

"Damn it, how could this happen! Xiao Yan, give up that damned Burning Flame Technique, okay? Let's stop practicing it!" Yao Lao picked up Xiao Yan.

"No, I can still hold on!" Xiao Yan said through gritted teeth.

Looking at Xiao Yan's condition, Yao Lao knew that the only thing he could mobilize at the moment was the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and its intervention would only add fuel to the fire.

Just as Yao Lao was in a state of panic, Xiao Li made a move, pointing his finger and stabilizing Xiao Yan's condition.

Yao Lao was too worried and forgot that Xiao Li was right there. A true half-saint powerhouse wouldn't cause any trouble here.

"So that's how it is. The energy of the Netherworld Poison Fire is too immense, and Little Flame can't absorb it. In that case, let's expel some of the energy. Xian'er, take a few steps forward," Xiao Li said calmly.

"Yes!" Little Fairy Doctor took a few steps forward. Then Xiao Li separated a lot of the Netherworld Poison Fire energy from Xiao Yan's body, but did not separate its source, only the toxins of the Netherworld Poison Fire!

After the toxin entered Little Fairy Doctor's body, her cultivation level continued to rise. Xiao Li then touched Little Fairy Doctor's body again, and a white light entered her body, causing her cultivation level to drop again.

Little Fairy Doctor felt her body swelling and then looked at Xiao Li.

“Girl, the energy of this Netherworld Poison Fire is quite great. It's not good for you to absorb it all at once. I've set up a seal within your body so you can absorb it slowly,” Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

Subsequently, Xiao Yan's situation stabilized, and he successfully absorbed the Netherworld Poison Flame and incorporated it into his Burning Technique!

Chapter 234 Green Scales

In the mountains and forests,

Xiao Yan slowly woke up. At this moment, he felt as if his body was moving rapidly. He felt his body leaning against something soft and smelled a faint fragrance.

"Xiao Yan, you're awake?" A clear and gentle female voice rang out.

"Where am I?" Xiao Yan murmured. "Has the Burning Technique successfully evolved?"

"Hey~ I was carrying you on my back, and when you woke up, instead of asking if I was tired, you were concerned about that deadly cultivation technique. Humph! You deserve to be burned like that!" Little Fairy Doctor's face puffed up with anger.

At this moment, Xiao Yan realized that he was on Little Fairy Doctor's back. Little Fairy Doctor was carrying him and running quickly. Xiao Yan looked up and vaguely saw a city.

"Teacher, teacher?" Xiao Yan called out to Yao Lao.

"Stop shouting! Grandpa took Yao Lao away. He said he had important business to attend to. It's all because of you. Yao Lao's soul power has been greatly depleted, and his strength is about to drop from the Dou Zong level to the Dou Huang level!" Little Fairy Doctor said speechlessly.

"Teacher, how could I, as your disciple, act like this? Sigh~ Little Fairy Doctor, please put me down. I can walk now," Xiao Yan said.

"Let's forget about it. You just refined the Netherworld Poison Fire, take a rest. Thanks to you, I'm a Great Battle Master now, I have plenty of strength," Little Fairy Doctor laughed.

"A Great Dou Master? So fast? Did you take poison again?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's all because of you! You recklessly cultivated that Burning Technique, which made you too weak to withstand the energy of the Netherworld Poison Fire when you tried to absorb it."

"If Grandpa hadn't been there, he would have directly injected a large amount of the Netherworld Poison Fire's energy into my body. Luckily, I have the Calamity Poison Body, which can withstand the energy of the Netherworld Poison Fire. Otherwise, you would be finished."

Little Fairy Doctor said angrily.

"Thank you, Little Fairy Doctor," Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

"Thank me? Is that all you're going to do to thank me? Can't you do something more substantial?" Little Fairy Doctor raised the corner of her mouth.

"Huh? How do you want me to thank you? I'm engaged, so it's impossible for me to repay you with my body," Xiao Yan said righteously.

"Oh? A marriage contract? Then why are you leaning against my back? And hugging me so tightly?" Little Fairy Doctor chuckled.

"Forehead."

"Alright, stop pretending to be serious. I found out about your engagement from Grandpa. Not only do you have a fiancée, but you also have a childhood sweetheart."

"Young man, let me tell you, I'm not someone you can easily seduce. I'm a poisonous woman, so watch out or I'll poison you!"

This style is completely different from the Little Fairy Doctor in Qingshan Town before. Perhaps it's because she has family, new ties, and a haven in her heart, which has made her heart more free.

"Hey! I have completely refined the Netherworld Poison Flame and am now immune to all poisons. Your poison is useless against me!" Xiao Yan was also getting "tempered" and insisted on competing with Little Fairy Doctor!

After exchanging a few words, the two arrived at the city in front of them, the Stone Desert City.

Stone Desert City is a city in the desert. Compared with the cities inside the empire, it has a more simple and profound feel. Perhaps because it is close to the Tagor Desert, its defenses are much stricter than those inside the empire. Fully armed soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere in the city.

Due to the influence of the Gama Empire's royal family, several years ago, the Gama Empire announced its intention to expand outwards! At the same time, it declared war on neighboring countries such as the Izumo Empire, the Mulan Empire, the Golden Goose Empire, and the Snake-People Empire!

Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the Gama royal family, has also personally gone to the border many times to fight against the strongmen of other countries. The most famous thing in Shimo City is that Jia Xingtian defeated the infamous Queen Medusa with a single palm strike, which greatly weakened the Snake People Empire.

Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor walked into Stone Desert City and suddenly heard some noises.

A man was pulling a little girl's hair, and the little girl was screaming in pain.

"It's all your fault, you jinx! You've caused me to have no business at all. Don't hang around in front of me unless you have to, you know?"

The man was dressed quite well, clearly a businessman, while the little girl looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a tattered cloth dress, and kept apologizing to the man.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!"

The man shoved the little girl to the ground and then tried to kick her again. The little girl was so frightened that she used her arms to protect herself.

The pain didn't come. The little girl slowly raised her arm, only to find a man and a woman blocking her way. The boy easily grabbed the man's foot.

"What kind of skill is it for a grown man to bully a little girl? Do you want to fight me?" Xiao Yan shouted coldly, and a light purple gauze robe suddenly materialized around his body.

"A warrior in a veil of Dou Qi, a Dou Shi expert! I'm so sorry, I've offended you, sir!"
