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

"Add the auxiliary medicine!"

Xiao Li reached out and grabbed the previously refined medicinal powder and liquid, throwing them into the Yin-Yang Cauldron!

As several medicinal liquids and powders were mixed, a mass of liquid about one-third the size of a head was finally formed. The color was still mainly black and white, but other colors could be faintly seen in the liquid.

Suddenly, a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from the medicine cauldron, causing the surrounding space to ripple slowly.

"Next comes the core formation process."

Seven days later,

boom!

A deep, resounding boom suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth, and an extremely powerful energy fluctuation abruptly spread out. Immediately afterward, the clouds above the sky condensed like lightning.

"The pill lightning has been triggered! This means that the alchemy was successful. This is the characteristic of the Yin-Yang Cauldron. Apart from the alchemist himself, no one else can see the situation inside the cauldron."

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Cauldron's unique feature is its ability to seal the medicinal power, and through the balance of Yin and Yang, it can stabilize the conflicts between medicinal ingredients. It truly deserves its sixth-ranked position among the Heavenly Cauldrons!

The old man Tianyin stroked his beard and said that he had seen Wang Ming refine the eighth-grade pills several times. He had also studied how Wang Ming used the Yin-Yang Cauldron. In any case, the cauldron was kept in the Sound Realm, and unless Xiao Li and Wang Ming had enough strength, they could not take it out at will.

When refining pills outside, that eighth-order medicine cauldron will suffice. This Yin-Yang Cauldron is enough to drive many alchemists crazy; it's a heavenly cauldron!

Xiao Li looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, where, after several churnings, the thunderclouds finally, unsurprisingly, revealed a rainbow of colors.

"It's time for your spirit to ascend, teacher!" Xiao Li whispered.

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Ming drew the Spirit Ascension Fruit and Spirit Nurturing Powder into his hand, and then volcanic flames burst forth, quickly refining the Spirit Ascension Fruit and Spirit Nurturing Powder into a highly spiritual medicinal liquid.

Seeing that the time was right, Wang Ming sent the medicinal liquid into the Yin-Yang Cauldron!

Boom——

The lightning in the sky seemed to have been stimulated by something and changed again, and then the seven-colored lightning turned into eight-colored lightning.

"Eight-Colored Pill Lightning! I never expected that the two of them would refine such a pill into an eighth-grade, eight-colored pill on their first attempt! They are truly amazing."

"Their alchemy skills are among the best in Zhongzhou," said the Heavenly Sound Elder with a smile.

"Open!" Xiao Li shouted, then slammed his hand on the Yin-Yang Cauldron. A black and white fire dragon flew out of the cauldron, followed by two black and white pills that were carried out by the fire dragon.

As soon as the pill was produced, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, invigorating everyone who smelled it.

Xiao Li looked at the two pills in the sky, and soon the two pills turned into a black and white dragon, trying to escape from here.

"It's turned into a pill beast! Where do you think you're going!" Wang Ming stomped his foot and flew into the air. Suddenly, two cold jade boxes appeared in his hands, and he put both pills inside.

"What does Dan Lei have to say next? Does he need my help, or will he use your puppet?" Tianyin Elder asked with a smile as he approached Xiao Li.

Xiao Li's eyes darted around, and he licked his lips: "I'd like to trouble Elder Su to seal and subdue this eight-colored pill lightning. This kind of pill lightning should be able to be used to refine a good quality lightning tribulation pill! At the very least, it can summon a six-colored pill lightning."

"Alright! I will take this pill lightning for you!" The Heavenly Sound Elder went directly to the space and used his spatial power to freeze the eight-colored pill lightning in the dark clouds. Then he used his spatial power to compress it into an eight-colored sphere about half a foot in size.

For this first time refining a pill of this grade, grade eight and eight colors are enough. In the original work, when Yao Lao was a high-level half-saint with a Heavenly Realm soul, he only attracted eight-colored pill lightning when refining the Bodhi Pill. I think that grade eight and eight colors are enough for this Yin Yang Reversal Pill!

Chapter 141 Recovery

The Heavenly Sound Elder used his great power to absorb the terrifying pill lightning, and then handed it to Xiao Li.

"I've taken this Dan Lei; the spatial seal on it can last for three years."

Xiao Li took the eight-colored sphere and placed it on the stone platform to the side.

"Rest for a while, then refine the Thunder Tribulation Pill."

Xiao Li stretched and then leaned against the stone platform for a short nap.

The Thunder Tribulation Pill is a rather peculiar pill, so its main ingredient is not an ordinary thing, but rather Thunder Tribulation Pill…

The pills made by refining pills with Dan Lei, and then supplemented with various medicinal herbs and demonic cores, are indeed extraordinary.

Thunder Tribulation Pills also come in different grades, including Grade 8 pills, Grade 9 treasure pills, and Grade 9 profound pills. The quality of the final Thunder Tribulation Pill depends mainly on the difference in the main ingredients.

Using eight-colored pill lightning as the main ingredient, one should be able to refine at least a grade eight six-colored pill.

Wang Ming approached Tian Yinzi with two jade boxes in his hands and handed one of them to her.

Wang Ming: "Brother, you should take this Yin-Yang Reversal Pill as soon as possible and heal your injuries."

Tianyinzi took the cold jade box and nodded: "Understood, I'm going into seclusion."

Tianyinzi's figure vanished instantly.

The old man stroked his beard as he watched his eldest son leave, and another worry in his heart was finally resolved.

One month later,

A deep, resounding boom echoed through the heavens and earth once more, and an extremely powerful energy fluctuation suddenly spread out. Immediately afterward, the clouds in the sky condensed like lightning, and then, after several churnings, the thunderclouds in the sky formed a seven-colored pattern.

"Your Thunder Tribulation Pill can actually summon seven-colored pill lightning. With your current strength, you can refine an eighth-grade seven-colored pill. You are truly amazing."

Wang Ming came to Xiao Li's side and said with a smile.

"After all, my soul power has improved. With my soul now at the peak of the Spirit Realm, achieving the seventh rank of the eighth grade is no problem. If I don't even have that ability, then I will truly have failed my teacher's teachings."

Xiao Li stretched and said that although the eighth-grade seven-color technique was a bit tiring for him, it was just that. He could continue refining it after a rest.

Wang Ming: "Hey, take what you're saying as a compliment. Your alchemy skills are already far superior to mine, especially your fire control technique, which has benefited me greatly."

Xiao Li chuckled and then looked at the Yin-Yang Cauldron: "With the Yin-Yang Cauldron and my Yin-Yang Twin Flames, the success rate of refining pills is quite high. When my cultivation level is higher, the quality of the pills can be even higher."

boom--

Just as Xiao Li was talking to Wang Ming, a powerful aura suddenly came, and a streak of light rushed over.

"Ok?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw that it was Tianyinzi, who had previously taken the Yin-Yang Reversal Pill and gone into seclusion.

"Yi'er's injuries have healed, and he has even made further progress." The old man Tianyin, who had been sitting to the side drinking tea, stood up at this moment, feeling the powerful aura emanating from his eldest son.

whoosh-

Tianyinzi's figure appeared in front of everyone in an instant. He looked a few years younger than before, and his originally pale and bloodless face had become exceptionally rosy.

"Big brother, you're fully recovered?" Su Wanyin said excitedly.

"Hmm." Tianyinzi smiled and patted Su Wanyin's head, then looked at Wang Ming and Xiao Li.

"I have to thank my brother-in-law and Xiao Li. Not only have my injuries healed, but my cultivation has also improved. All these years of hard work have paid off. Now, with the power of accumulated experience, my current cultivation level is the peak of the Ninth Rank Dou Zun."

Furthermore, I have gained some insights into the Sacred Realm, and within a few years, I will be able to take a crucial step and become a Half-Saint.

At this moment, Tianyinzi regained her previous high spirits.

"Good, good, good!" Tianyin the Elder patted his eldest son's shoulder and said "good" several times. From this, it can be seen that Tianyin the Elder placed high hopes on his eldest son.

"Reporting to the Valley Master, Venerable Yunyun has returned."

Just as everyone was rejoicing at Tianyinzi's recovery, an elder came to Su Wanyin's side and reported.

"Oh? Yun'er is back? I'll go see her." Xiao Li tore open the void and headed towards the entrance to the Sound Realm.

. . . . . .

On the other side, at the entrance to the realm of sound,

The woman was dressed in white, with her jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall to her slender waist. Her stunningly beautiful face made her seem like a fairy who had never been bothered by the mortal world.

However, this fairy-like woman exuded a sharp aura. Her eyes were extremely sharp, and although she was standing, she was more like a sharp sword, ready to be drawn at any moment.

"Yun'er. Hmm? Are you really Yun'er?" Xiao Li emerged from the void, but Yun Yun's aura was completely different from before.

The original Yun Yun was quiet, gentle, and beautiful, like a clear spring in a secluded mountain. Now, Yun Yun gives Xiao Li the feeling of a sharp sword.

"Leave!"

Upon seeing Xiao Li, Yun Yun hugged him without saying a word.

"So direct?"

Xiao Li felt that Yun Yun's personality seemed to have changed. She used to be the kind of person who would say no but her body would tell a different story.

Yunyun nowadays is very direct and straightforward.

"Hmph!" Yun Yun glared at Xiao Li, but Xiao Li felt as if he had been pierced by a sharp sword.

"So sharp now, Yun'er?"

Xiao Li looked Yun Yun up and down. Her aura hadn't changed, but it seemed even more intense, and her whole body exuded a sharp sword intent.

“Li, I think.” Yun Yun looked directly into Xiao Li’s eyes.

"Huh?" Xiao Li asked, puzzled.

I said I wanted to.

Xiao Li felt like the sun had risen from the middle? He actually heard Yun Yun speak so directly?

Without saying a word, Yun Yun pulled Xiao Li towards their room.

"What's going on? They've made me an introvert."

. . . . . .

After a night of passion,

Holding Yun Yun's delicate body, Xiao Li asked, "Yun'er, what happened to you? This isn't like you. You've been so proactive, and you even..."

Xiao Li hesitated, then looked at the ceiling. The ceiling looked like it had been scratched by something sharp, but upon closer inspection, the crack in the ceiling was damp.

'Wow, that's really sharp! Even this thing can be this sharp?'

"Can't I just be direct? Don't you want me to be more outgoing and playful? You put me in all sorts of positions before, and I didn't say a word, did I? Why are you being so introverted today?"

Yun Yun glanced at Xiao Li with her beautiful eyes, thinking that Xiao Li had really become more introverted.

'Didn't I just ask you to try touching your shoulder with your knee? Was it really that big of a deal?'

"Yun'er, what opportunities have you gained these days? I heard that you defeated the Sword Venerable of the Myriad Swords Pavilion, and the aura on your body has even reached the level of a five-star Dou Zun!"

Xiao Li, with his current soul level, could naturally sense Yun Yun's aura. Her battle qi was incredibly solid, and her entire body exuded a sharp sword intent.

"Didn't I go to Ten Thousand Swords Mountain according to the records of Ancestor Yun Potian? Ten Thousand Swords Mountain can be said to be a place that sword cultivators must go to."

Legend has it that the Heavenly Crippled Sword Saint attained enlightenment at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain ten thousand years ago, becoming one of the strongest beings on the continent at that time. As for when this mountain existed, I do not know.

Some people say it's related to a certain Dou Di from ancient times, but these are just hearsay and irrelevant. The main thing is that I gained some kind of inheritance at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

Yunyun told Xiaoli about her experience.

Chapter 142 Return to Jiama

(The third update is a little late. I've been very busy these past few days, and I've only been able to write this in my spare time. The quality might not be the best, as it's difficult to write in a noisy environment. Please forgive me, everyone.)

"inherited?"

Yun Yun nodded, resting her head on Xiao Li's chest, her index finger tracing Xiao Li's skin.

"The inheritance of Wanjian Mountain is different from other inheritances. People who enter there will not obtain any cultivation techniques or fighting skills, but will comprehend the sword intent."

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow: "Sword intent? So you've comprehended sword intent?"

Yun Yun nodded: "Although it's only a little bit, I have indeed grasped it. The sharp sword intent on my body now is the sword intent I have grasped, but unfortunately I haven't mastered it yet."

Once I fully control this sword intent, I can internalize it. Releasing sword intent outwards is too amateurish for a sword cultivator.

"Alright, I'll have to rely on Yun'er for protection from now on," Xiao Li said with a grin.

Yun Yun rolled her eyes at Xiao Li: "You still need me to protect you? Two and a half years ago, when you first entered Zhongzhou, you killed a one-star Dou Zun with your peak Dou Zong cultivation. Did you need me to protect you then?"

"Now that you're a two-star Dou Zun, even though I'm a five-star Dou Zun, I still feel I'm not as powerful as you, especially with your sealing Dou Technique, which directly caused that one-star Dou Zun's cultivation to drop to a six-star Dou Zong."

Xiao Li shrugged: "I'm just an alchemist, I don't have that much power, I can only rely on these opportunistic skills to protect myself."

"What about your Heavenly Fire Three Transformations? And your Flame Demon Transformation? With these two powerful amplification techniques combined, your cultivation level could probably soar to a four-star Dou Zun."

(The Heavenly Fire Three Transformations originated from Xiao Kong, but is incomplete; the Flame Demon Transformation is Xiao Li's body-refining fighting technique.)

Yun Yun felt that Xiao Li was a liar; despite being very strong, he was unusually cautious.

Moreover, after entering Zhongzhou, Xiao Li basically didn't let the Heavenly Demon Puppet or the Earthly Demon Puppet take action. Except for the Pill-Touching Lightning, these demon puppets were all hidden by Xiao Li.
