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

Xiao Li: "Five."

Su Qian:

Su Qian didn't know what to say. He knew that Zi Yan had a sweet tooth. Ever since Xiao Li left the academy, Zi Yan had run out of pills and had been wasting a lot of pills from the alchemy department.

If she can't take pills, she'll get medicinal herbs to eat, but there's no other way. Zi Yan needs to improve her cultivation by consuming large amounts of high-energy pills or rare and precious herbs.

Su Qian looked at Xiao Li: "What are you doing back here, kid? You've reached the Dou Huang level now, that's really impressive."

"The dean told me to participate in the Pill Gathering, saying that if I won a prize, he would beat me up. I had no choice but to go. It just so happens that my alchemy skills have reached the seventh rank, so I can refine mid-grade seventh-rank pills."

So I've come to you to ask for some medicinal herbs to refine the Zongyuan Pill.

Xiao Li shrugged and said.

"Oh? You're already a seventh-grade alchemist? You're quite the young man! Would you like me to bring some people to help you catch the pill lightning?"

It was within Su Qian's expectations that Xiao Li would become a seventh-grade alchemist. After all, Xiao Li was able to refine a sixth-grade peak Breakthrough Pill before, and now his cultivation has reached the fifth-star Dou Huang level, so it is reasonable for him to refine seventh-grade pills.

"No need, the dean gave me something good, it's excellent for resisting Dan Lei," Xiao Li said with a smile.

. . . . . .

Half a day later,

Central location of the inner courtyard

Xiao Li was about to begin refining seventh-grade pills here. Most of the elders from Canaan Academy had come. Being able to witness the birth of a seventh-grade pill was a worthwhile experience.

"Elder Xiao is getting more and more powerful. What do you think, Elder Huo?" An elder looked at Elder Huo.

"That's genius. How dare we mediocre people talk about others?" Elder Huo said calmly.

Elder Huo has now broken through to the Douhuang level. With the improvement of his cultivation, his alchemy skills have also improved, and the success rate of refining fifth-grade pills has greatly increased.

"So, what kind of pills is Elder Xiao planning to refine this time?"

"I've heard it's the Zongyuan Pill."

"Zongyuan Pill? Old man Huo, I don't know much about pills. Could you explain it to me?"

Elder Huo: "Zongyuan Pill, a mid-grade seventh-rank pill, has similar effects to Douling Pill and Huangji Pill, and can enhance one's cultivation level to Douzong one star."

After raising one star in cultivation, the remaining medicinal power will further enhance the spatial perception of a Dou Zong. Everyone knows that at the Dou Zong realm, one can initially comprehend the power of space.

To break through to the Dou Zun level, one must have a deep understanding of spatial power. Many Dou Zong peak experts lack this understanding.

It can be said that this Yuan Dan will have some effect on breaking through to Dou Zun in the future; sometimes, this insight can be of great use!

After listening to Elder Huo's explanation, the several Douhuang elders present who had taken the Huangji Pill felt deeply moved. The body-strengthening effect provided by the Huangji Pill was excellent for them.

This spatial insight gained from the Yuan Dan technique is probably even more valuable to a Dou Zong!

Xiao Li stood on the high platform and slowly opened his eyes. Canaan Academy had prepared six sets of materials for Zongyuan Pills. It was indeed good to be a powerful force; you didn't need to find the medicinal materials yourself, you could just refine the pills directly.

Little did they know that the medicinal herbs Xiao Li needed for this alchemy session had almost emptied the Scripture Pavilion. All the medicinal herbs that Canaan Academy had collected over the years since its founding were almost squandered.

However, these medicinal herbs can be used to refine pills, which is a huge profit. After all, you can find more medicinal herbs if you run out, but improving your cultivation level is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Duang——

Xiao Li's Fiery Cloud Cauldron emerged, its ancient fiery cloud patterns symbolizing its history.

Xiao Li grabbed the ingredients for the Zongyuan Pill and threw them into the medicine cauldron. Then, a jet-black flame appeared in his hand and was thrown into the cauldron to calcine the ingredients.

"Huh? What kind of flame is this? Didn't Elder Xiao use the Fallen Heart Flame? How did it turn into a black flame?"

"Could it be beast fire?"

"Impossible! Beast fire definitely doesn't have such a powerful aura."

"Black flames? There are only a few types of black flames on the Strange Flame Ranking. Which one is this?"

"Let's see how it goes."

Ignoring the elders' doubts, Xiao Li entered a state of alchemy, his mind extremely focused, with only the processes of controlling the fire, refining the medicinal materials, and condensing the pill in his mind.

The Yin Fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames is destructive; anyone who touches it will instantly turn to ashes.

In the process of refining medicinal herbs, if the heat is not controlled, the herbs can easily be burned to ashes.

However, precisely because the Yin Fire is extremely powerful, Xiao Li can refine medicinal herbs much faster as long as he controls its power!

In just half an hour, the Yin Fire had refined the medicinal herbs into a medicinal liquid. Afterward, Xiao Li changed the flame, putting away the dark and dangerous flame and using a gentle, life-giving white flame instead.

"This is Yin-Yang Twin Flames! One flame displays two colors, possessing both the power of life and death!" Su Qian exclaimed in surprise.

Although the Yin-Yang Twin Flames are ranked twenty-first on the list of strange flames, they are extremely rare. In terms of rarity, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames are definitely among the top in the entire list of strange flames.

Mang Tianchi sat in the distance, looking at the Yin-Yang Twin Flames in Xiao Li's hand and said with a faint smile, "Bai Lie is right. This kid is really lucky. He devoured the Yin-Yang Twin Flames of the Fallen Heart Flame."

Your Yin-Yang Twin Flames will one day become a symbol, just like that old fellow Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

"Congeal!"

Xiao Li began to condense the pill by manipulating the Yang Fire. After obtaining the Yin and Yang dual flames, Xiao Li made some changes to his pill refining techniques.

He refines pills by changing the flame, using yin fire to extract medicinal materials and yang fire to condense pills. This not only saves on the consumption of battle qi and soul power, but also has a very high success rate in condensing pills with yang fire, making it very easy to refine top-grade pills.

This is a fire control technique created by Xiao Li, which he named "Yin Yang Fire Control Technique." Since it is still in its early stages, the name is somewhat simplified and will be further refined in the future.

Boom——

Chapter 68 Demon Puppet's Top Core Thunder

Boom——

Dan Lei arrived as scheduled, and the two elders, Qianbai, who were in seclusion, came out upon sensing Dan Lei's aura.

Qianmu glanced at the person on the high platform: "This kid is here? He came to the academy and immediately started refining seventh-grade pills? Impressive."

Bai Lie: "Of course! I personally witnessed him refine two Rank 7 pills, one of which was even a mid-Rank 7 pill! This kid's future achievements are limitless."

Chiki nodded: "Let's go, let's go and deal with the little guy's Dan Lei."

Bai Lie: "Mm."

The two elders flew over, intending to help Xiao Li withstand the pill lightning.

"Elder Qian, Elder Bai, wait a moment, I'll take care of this Dan Lei!"

Xiao Li had finished the alchemy process and was holding an orange-gold pill in his hand. He looked up, preparing to have the Earth Demon Puppet deal with the pill lightning, when the two elders, Qianbai and Erlao, arrived.

"Xiao Li, are you sure?" Bai Lie asked doubtfully.

Xiao Li nodded: "I'm sure! Leave it to me!"

The two elders withdrew, but did not go far away. They kept an eye on Xiao Li, so that they would have a chance to intervene if Xiao Li messed up.

Boom——

Dark clouds filled the sky, and silver lightning flashed everywhere. Occasionally, when they collided, they would burst into a huge thunderclap. The power of the heavens made people tremble with fear.

Xiao Li carefully put away the Zongyuan Pill, and a red and silver longsword appeared in his hand, with a crimson demon core embedded in it.

laugh!

At this moment, a black flame appeared on Xiao Li's right hand, and then the black flame spread and directly attached itself to the Heavenly Blaze Sword.

"Heavenly Fierce Slash!"

Screech—

A giant black fiery crescent slash was unleashed!

boom--

The silver lightning bolt arrived with a thunderous roar, carrying the might of heaven and earth, and slammed fiercely into the black flame slash. Instantly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The black flame slash slammed into the silver lightning, splitting it in two.

"Hiss—he actually split the Dan Lei in one strike, this kid is terrifying." Su Qian gasped.

"Hmm." Standing next to Su Qian was an old man who looked even older than Su Qian. This was Elder Xu, who had successfully advanced to the Dou Zong realm with the help of the Breakthrough Pill refined by Xiao Li.

The Canaan Academy students thought Xiao Li was going to continue using his fighting techniques to deal with Dan Lei, but Xiao Li put away Tian Lie instead.

"Go, Earth Demon Puppet!"

A silver figure appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Li, then clenched his fist and threw a punch without any fancy moves!

The fist strikes, shattering the thunder!

This scene left everyone from Canaan Academy completely dumbfounded. What kind of fighting style was this? Shattering Dan Lei with a single punch?

To shatter such a powerful Dan Lei with a single punch is something that even an ordinary Dou Zong expert would find difficult to accomplish, right?

"A puppet?" Su Qian and the two elders quickly noticed the difference in the silver figure.

Bai Lie exclaimed in amazement, "This puppet's aura is no less than ours, it has actually reached the level of a nine-star Dou Zong. No wonder this kid doesn't need our help."

Qianmu nodded: "Yes, with such a helper, why would this kid need us to take action? But it's good, after all, we can't follow him all the time. Having this puppet to protect him is very good!"

boom--

Just as the two elders were exchanging words, the clouds in the sky began to churn again, and a deafening rumble of thunder resounded.

"Is it coming again? Then let's continue!" Xiao Li felt the immense power of thunder rapidly gathering within the clouds.

"Ugh! Attack, Earth Demon Puppet!"

Xiao Li gave the order, and the Earth Demon Puppet rushed forward to face the lightning, receiving the baptism of the great power of heaven and earth!

Boom boom boom!

The lightning bolts kept striking the Earth Demon Puppet, but the Earth Demon Puppet remained motionless, as if it were absorbing the lightning.

Just then, the Earth Demon Puppet emitted a silver light all over its body. Under this silver light, there seemed to be faint flashes of electricity. This silver light was quite pure.

The silver color on the Earth Demon Puppet's body became increasingly translucent, and some mottled impurities on its body were gradually removed under the effect of the pill lightning.

"As expected, the Earth Demon Puppet can absorb the energy of the Pill Lightning to advance. Judging from its appearance, this Earth Demon Puppet was probably made with difficulty. The craftsman's skills are poor, making such a thing out of a Dou Zun's remains."

"Once Dan Lei refines the Earth Demon Puppet, it should be able to become a Dou Zun-level Earth Demon Puppet in one step. If it advances to a Heavenly Demon Puppet, it would probably be equivalent to a five or six-star Dou Zun."

Xiao Li murmured that Mang Tian Chi had given him a great gift. Dan Lei had always been a headache for Xiao Li, but this Earth Demon Puppet had solved his problem.

"I didn't expect that the energy of Dan Lei could improve the quality of the Earth Demon Puppet. No wonder he was able to withstand my thunder palm strike. This kid is quite lucky." Mang Tianchi muttered to himself, and then he left. There was nothing more to see.

boom! boom! boom!

Above the sky, the sounds of thunderous explosions echoed continuously, while the silver figure, under the astonished gazes of many, emitted an increasingly dazzling silver light.

This head-on confrontation lasted for about half an hour. Finally, the power of thunder within the dark clouds in the sky diminished considerably. Then, the dark clouds gradually stopped churning, and their color slowly faded.

Clearly, this time Danlei has come to an end.

After dealing with Dan Lei, the Earth Demon Puppet returned to Xiao Li's side. This time, the Earth Demon Puppet shone brightly with silver light, no longer the dark silver color it had been before, but a bright silver color.

Xiao Li was quite satisfied with the Earth Demon Puppet, as it greatly increased the safety factor. Xiao Li planned to refine more pills at Canaan Academy and use the pill lightning to enhance the Earth Demon Puppet's strength to the level of Dou Zun!

Attending the Pill Gathering will be much safer then, since there are always some brainless guys in the Central Continent's forces. Xiao Li himself is just a minor Dou Huang, and he would be guaranteed to die if he encountered a Dou Zong expert on his own.

This earth demon puppet is the trump card. Who would have thought that an ordinary Dou Huang would have a Dou Zun-level puppet in his hands? This punch could probably kill several Dou Zong.

Jie Jie Jie!

Xiao Li snapped out of his thoughts and immediately went to Elder Su Qian's side.

"Elder, it's time to fulfill the promise I made about the Zongyuan Pill." Xiao Li handed the Zongyuan Pill to Su Qian.

After all, since Xiao Li entered the inner courtyard, Su Qian had always taken good care of him, and the medicinal materials needed for refining pills were all obtained by Su Qian on Xiao Li's behalf.

It's just a single Zongyuan Pill. Elder Su Qian deserves it!

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be so fast. I will accept it and take it when I have the opportunity in the future. It is too early to take it now."

"If Xiao Li needs my help in anything, I'll come immediately." Su Qian accepted the pills with a smile.

Does Xiao Li need to be polite with him? What kind of behavior is this, being all coy and hesitant?

"Haha, no problem! Elder Xu, please wait a moment, I will also refine a Zongyuan Pill for you." Xiao Li said with a smile to Elder Xu beside him.

Elder Xu clasped his hands in thanks: “Thank you, Master Xiao. You not only helped this old man, who is almost buried, break through to the Dou Zong realm, but also refined the Zong Yuan Pill for me.”

"If anything happens in the future, I, Xu Mo, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
