Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 137 Let's see if the development is normal (Part 2, please subscribe)

In the following two weeks,

The entire Canaan Academy was still immersed in the shock brought by that earth-shattering battle, and the invading forces in the Black Corner Region were also stirred up by the purge by Canaan Academy.

However, amidst the swirling rumors and speculations, Xiao Yue, who was involved in the incident, disappeared without a trace after killing Han Feng that day.

at this time,

In a secret room within the inner courtyard pavilion,

Xiao Yue is currently in seclusion recovering her energy. Although the burden of opening the divine gates is much less than before after she reached the unity of heaven and man, she has still opened seven divine gates in succession, and it is inevitable that her energy will be damaged afterwards.

Fortunately, she had prepared a special medicine specifically for the damage to her vital energy beforehand. After taking it, she would only need to rest and seclude herself for about half a month to fully recover.

in the secret room,
After nearly half a month of recuperation, Xiao Yue slowly opened her eyes and took out a deep blue storage ring in her hand. This was Han Feng's Nether Sea Storage Ring.

Such high-grade storage rings are quite rare, requiring top-grade spatial storage stones to craft. Even with the materials, it would take a master craftsman half a year to successfully forge one.

Over the years, Han Feng has amassed countless treasures in the Black Corner Region. He possesses a considerable amount of medicinal herbs that are extremely rare in the outside world. Moreover, various pill formulas, cultivation techniques, and combat skill scrolls are casually displayed. Clearly, these are the items exchanged by those who come to him requesting pills to be refined.

This was the richest storage ring she had ever seen. As a near-seventh-grade alchemist, Han Feng's collection was indeed abundant, even richer than the storage rings of those Soul Palace protectors.

After all, the Soul Hall people's storage rings were full of strange weapons such as skulls and ghost banners, chains, scythes, and corpse puppets, as well as a whole bunch of evil techniques and fighting skills. There was really nothing normal in them.

"A seventh-grade pill formula—the Yin-Yang Dragon Profound Pill. This must be the pill formula that Old Man Yao deduced back then, right?"

Xiao Yue glanced at the seventh-grade pill formula in the Youhai storage ring and raised an eyebrow.

This pill formula was the old medicine master's masterpiece. She had heard him mention it more than once. When it was completed, the celestial phenomenon was that two dragon souls, one yin and one yang, shot straight into the sky from the pill furnace, intertwined with each other, and finally condensed into the pill body.

The greatest effect of this pill is to allow people to break through and rebuild, giving Dou Zong powerhouses a chance to step into the Dou Zun realm!

It's no wonder that the old man had boasted about this pill formula to her many times. After all, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, there are definitely no more than five pills that can increase the chances of breaking through to Dou Zun, and the Yin Yang Dragon Profound Pill is one of them. This pill formula took the old man a lot of effort.

"They initially tried to lure me into becoming their apprentice, fearing I would steal their knowledge. I doubt the old man ever imagined that the pill formula would end up in my hands."

Xiao Yue chuckled softly.
She then unceremoniously pocketed the scroll of pill formulas. She had always enjoyed collecting these high-level pill formulas; it was a small hobby, and they were of great significance whether used for reference or for collection.

However, Han Feng didn't have many precious items like seventh-grade pill formulas. He only had four or five in his storage ring. He only had the more advanced eighth-grade pill formulas. As the Medicine King of the Black Corner Region, Han Feng didn't have a single one.

That's normal.

After all, each volume of high-level pill formulas represents years, or even decades, of painstaking work by alchemists. How could they possibly be obtained so easily? Even when high-level alchemists exchange their insights, genuine high-level pill formulas only circulate within a small circle of advanced alchemists.

"Oh!"

A red alchemy furnace appeared.
Its body is covered with all sorts of strange patterns, and lifelike images of ferocious beasts are carved on the cauldron. When their ferocious mouths are wide open, if you listen closely, you can faintly hear some roars of beasts coming from the cauldron. All these strange phenomena show that this crimson cauldron is extraordinary.

Xiao Yue flicked her finger slightly, and the medicine furnace immediately emitted a crisp sound of metal clashing, with the faint roar of ten thousand beasts echoing in the secret chamber.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, ranked thirteenth in the Heavenly Cauldrons, seems to have been living quite well as the local tyrant of the Black Corner Region all these years..." A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes.

With both a different kind of fire and a Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, it would be incredibly lucky for an ordinary alchemist to obtain either one. Han Feng, however, possesses top-tier configurations in both his fire and his alchemy furnace. These two top-tier configurations alone are enough to surpass countless alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent.

...

"Sea Heart Flame, a magical and extraordinary fire born from the depths of the ocean."

As Xiao Yue gazed at the strange fire that had been stripped from the depths of Han Feng's soul, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

This deep blue flame looks quite mysterious. As the flame rises, it spreads slowly like clear seawater, with faint ripples, like waves. Holding it in your hand feels like holding a small ocean.

This world also has oceans. For example, there are several coastal empires in the Northwest Continent. Yun Yun's inner armor is made of metal materials from a sixth-tier three-tailed blue whale, and like the Sea Heart Flame, it is a product of the ocean.

"If I have the chance, I can go to the 'Wanghaiyu' and see the ocean of this world..." Xiao Yue thought to herself.

The Wanghai Region is a general term for the coastal areas of the Northwest Continent. It is a complex region with many powerful factions, similar to the Black Corner Region, but not as chaotic.

in fact,

Xiao Yue was still very curious about this so-called Dou Qi Continent. Was it flat and round, or was it a giant celestial body like Earth in her previous life?

If the sky is round and the earth is square, then where do these oceans come from... and what do they connect to on the other side?

If it's a planet, then that's quite intriguing. Perhaps... she's still in her original universe, but has simply traveled to another vast planet separated by countless galaxies and light-years? After all, the universe is defined as boundless, infinite, and limitless.

Perhaps one day, when she transforms into a martial immortal capable of plucking the sun, moon, and stars from the heavens, and descends into the vast and boundless universe, looking back at this tiny continent, she might then know the answer to all of this.

of course,

Such wild thoughts are too far-fetched. The road ahead is long, and it's still unknown whether she can even reach that point.

……

After sorting through the rich spoils in Han Feng's Nether Sea Storage Ring, Xiao Yue took out a jade slip.

This was entrusted to Han Yue by Xiao Xun'er and given to her; she hadn't had time to look at it recently.

Looking at the exquisite jade slip inlaid with gold patterns in front of her, Xiao Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and the elegant and lotus-like figure of the young girl appeared in her mind.

As soon as the jade slip was opened, a golden light entered Xiao Yue's consciousness.

"Sister Xiao Yue, by the time you open this jade slip and hear my message, Xun'er should have already left. It's a pity I couldn't say goodbye before she left." A melodious and familiar girl's voice echoed in my mind.

“I know that Sister Xiao Yue likes to study and collect various high-level pill formulas. In this jade slip, there are high-level pill formulas that I asked Master Ling to find in the Hui tribe, as well as some ancient alchemy techniques. In addition to these, I have also collected some cultivation methods that were first created by countless ancient sages in the barbaric era. I hope they can be of some help to Sister’s martial arts system.”

"And... Sister Xiao Yue, Xun'er missed you terribly during these months of your seclusion. You must come to the Ancient Clan to find Xun'er in the future. When you do, please don't neglect Xun'er on purpose anymore." The girl's gentle voice echoed slowly in Xiao Yue's mind, and then gradually faded away.

Xiao Yue's heart was also slightly stirred by the girl's last words.

She gently stroked the exquisite gold-patterned jade slip, and could tell that the girl had already guessed that she might not be able to say goodbye in person when she went into seclusion, so this jade slip was probably something she had spent a long time organizing on her own.

This made Xiao Yue fall silent for a moment. At that time, because she was about to break through, she failed to notice Xiao Xun'er's forced smile when she was about to leave, and subconsciously ignored the girl's deep emotions hidden in her eyes.

Most importantly, she deliberately ignored the girl for a while when she was about to leave, but in the end... the girl turned around and made a jade slip to repay her, which made Xiao Yue feel a little uncomfortable.

Although she doesn't want to admit it, she is sometimes too blindly arrogant, which causes her to ignore many things around her.

One should not live too comfortably, always in a state of complete control. Sooner or later, one will become blinded by the situation and it will be too late when things get out of control. This kind of mentality is not advisable.

He glanced at the catalog of pill formulas and cultivation techniques in the jade slip with his divine sense. There were many kinds of pill formulas, just as Xiao Xun'er said. They were all high-level pill formulas, as well as ancient alchemy techniques and cultivation techniques. There were even a few volumes of eighth-grade pill formulas.

Xiao Yue carefully kept the exquisite gold-patterned jade slip close to her body, intending to read it all at a later time.

...

...

Opening the door to the secret room that had been dark for half a month,

Xiao Yue slowly stepped into the spacious courtyard of the pavilion, bathed in the warm sunlight and feeling the gentle breeze on her face. She closed her eyes slightly, and her mind became much calmer.

"Teacher, you've emerged from seclusion."

Han Yue was currently plucking the guzheng on the rooftop. She was practicing a musical combat technique taught by Xiao Yue. This guzheng combat technique was very rare. Xiao Yue had obtained it by chance during her travels and taught it to Han Yue when she had nothing else to do.

Where is Queen Medusa?

Xiao Yue asked.

Since Her Majesty the Queen awoke from her months-long slumber during that battle, she no longer needed to maintain the form of the seven-colored snake. After all, she no longer needed to fight with Little Rainbow for control of her body.

"Her Majesty the Queen and Zi Yan have gone to the Canaan Mountains."

Han Yue said with a somewhat strange expression.

These days, Her Majesty the Queen has been appearing in human form. Although she is cold and beautiful, everyone knows that she is the infamous Snake-People Queen, and now her strength is extremely terrifying. Even Elder Su Qian would probably have to avoid her.

That day, her methods were extremely bloody and cruel, causing no one at Canaan Academy to dare to talk to her. However, to everyone's surprise, the Queen and Zi Yan had an unusually good relationship, and the two often went to the mountains together to find various rare herbs.

Xiao Yue nodded upon hearing this, showing no surprise.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. After all, only a clueless and silly little girl like Zi Yan would dare to skip around and talk to Queen Medusa. Everyone else would avoid her like the plague.

but,

Zi Yan, that little girl, has a natural talent for sensing rare and precious materials with rich energy, while Queen Medusa has the strength to rival a seventh-tier magical beast. If these two were to enter the mountains, it would be disastrous; they would probably turn the Canaan Mountains into a complete mess.

It turns out that

Xiao Yue's prediction was absolutely correct. During the two weeks she was in seclusion, the Canaan Mountains, which had been somewhat quiet, were now filled with roars and boundless vitality almost every day.

……

evening,

The little girl in the purple dress returned excitedly, carrying a pile of rare and precious herbs. Her little tiger tooth gleamed adorably in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, look what I found!" Zi Yan skipped and hopped to Xiao Yue, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement.

She placed all the medicinal herbs she was holding on the table, displaying them all at once. The colorful herbs, exuding a fragrant aroma, all appeared to be quite rare varieties.

Although she didn't have the main ingredient, the Transformation Grass, she had collected all the other ingredients for the Transformation Pill, and in three or four portions at that, which shows how badly they had messed up the mountain.

Xiao Yue was speechless upon seeing this.

She then slowly reached out and pulled the little girl aside, her gaze falling on the tall, elegant, and alluring figure behind the girl. Her Majesty the Queen was as aloof and noble as ever.

"You eat this."

Xiao Yue slowly took out a pill.

"What is this?" Queen Medusa frowned, her expression showing some resistance.

"After you merge with the soul, your body will experience some aftereffects. These pills are helping you recover," Xiao Yue said calmly, though it was actually a Grade 5 Spirit Ginseng Pregnancy Protection Pill that she had developed.

Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. She had indeed been feeling unwell these days, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

That's it!

"I've already taken enough medicine, so one more won't make a difference," Her Majesty thought before swallowing Xiao Yue's pill.

Seeing how readily she took it this time, Xiao Yue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. Is this what they call "pregnancy makes you stupid for three years"? She used to question it, but now she doesn't even hesitate.

"Sit over there, let me check you out and see how you're recovering," Xiao Yue said, pointing to the chair next to her.

This is a lie.

Actually, she just wanted to check if the fetus was developing normally.

Queen Medusa was immediately convinced by Xiao Yue's calm and serious tone, so she subconsciously walked over and sat down, then obediently extended her wrist.

Xiao Yue sat to the side, gently placing her slender fingers on Queen Medusa's wrist. Her long, silvery-white hair, reaching her waist like a cascading river, and her calm demeanor reassured Her Majesty, making her think that this person wasn't so bad after all…

Soon,

Xiao Yue frowned slightly. The gestation period of snake-people was different from that of ordinary snake-people. The gestation period of snake-people was generally around fourteen months, only half a year longer than that of humans. She wondered if it was because of the bloodline of Queen Medusa, but the other party's pregnancy was at least three years.

"what happened?"

Seeing her furrow her brows, Queen Medusa asked him somewhat nervously and cautiously.

"It's nothing, just a minor problem. These few doses of medicine, one every two weeks, will allow you to have a smooth pregnancy in three years... and be in good health," Xiao Yue said, as she took out a bunch of pre-prepared medicine packets.

Queen Medusa's forehead immediately creased with annoyance. So many medications, and she'd have to take them for three years! You call this a minor problem?

Seeing that she began to question, Xiao Yue also started to deceive her. In the end, under her coaxing and deception, Queen Medusa, who had limited medical knowledge, accepted the medicine.
