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

Chapter 145 Yan Di: It's so good! (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

"Hey—!"

On the mountaintop surrounded by spiritual energy, five-colored flames burned fiercely in a ten-foot-tall alchemy furnace.

Refining a peak seventh-grade pill is a rather slow and tedious process. According to Xiao Yue's calculations, it would take her at least a week.

"I never expected that she could use five different flames at the same time to refine pills. Her technique is simply divine." Yao Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Xiao Yue refining pills.

Hearing his evaluation, Xiao Yan nodded in deep agreement. The young man took a deep breath, and the look of shock in his eyes slowly disappeared. Although he felt a little bitter, he still chose to watch and learn silently.

And this observation lasted for a full six days.

Days passed, and the silver-haired figure on the mountain continued her alchemy process, while the people below seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, unwilling to leave.

During this period, the crowds gathered around the mountain peaks not only did not disperse, but their numbers increased. A new seventh-grade elixir was about to be born here. Such a grand event, which was rare to see in a hundred years, naturally attracted people to flock to it!
In particular, when the alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire received the news, they flocked to the capital city as if on a pilgrimage. Even some reclusive alchemy masters from neighboring countries traveled thousands of miles to come here, all just to witness the birth of the legendary seventh-grade peak pill!

As a result, the area at the foot of the mountain was completely surrounded by people, some standing and some sitting, a large crowd.

"So many alchemists gathered here; the Gama Empire hasn't seen such a magnificent scene in a long time," Gu He, the chief alchemist of the Gama Empire, couldn't help but exclaim.

The alchemists who came from all directions were very quiet. They didn't even need anyone to maintain order. They spontaneously formed small circles and found a place to sit cross-legged at the foot of the mountain.

They sat cross-legged in small groups, some observing intently, others contemplating with their eyes closed, each seemingly trying to understand something in their own way.

After all, if a seventh-grade alchemist were to publicly demonstrate alchemy, even a rudimentary understanding of it would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime.

No one dares to cause trouble here now, because there are too many big shots gathered here. If anyone dares to make a fuss, even without Yun Yun and the others taking action, the alchemists below will personally tear those troublemakers apart!
Everyone knows that alchemists are the most dangerous group on the continent, because their ability to recruit people is enough to make any power feel hopeless.

With so many alchemists gathered here, if they were to cause trouble and anger them, the consequences would be dire. No force would want to provoke the wrath of these alchemists, as the consequences would be severe!
"Even some old-timers from the international alchemy world have come!" exclaimed Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire.

He gazed intently at the alchemy furnace where five-colored flames intertwined, and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.

What we are witnessing today is not only the birth of a top-grade seventh-rank pill, but also the largest alchemist gathering in the Jia Ma Empire in hundreds of years!

It should be noted that in the entire Northwest Continent, it is already a remarkable thing for any country to produce a sixth-grade alchemist. For example, in the Black Corner Region, there is only one peak sixth-grade alchemist, Han Feng, who can hold up the prestige.

Furthermore, even among the neighboring empires such as the Gama Empire and the nearby Izumo Empire and Mulan Empire, the only known sixth-grade alchemist is Gu He! This gives an idea of ​​how prestigious a seventh-grade alchemist is.

Six days,

Almost everyone was used to the scene on the stone platform. They didn't know how long Xiao Yue's alchemy would take, but after witnessing her alchemy skills, which were almost like the Dao, they immediately felt that the trip was worthwhile, and even if they failed in the end, they would have no regrets.

As time went by, the five-colored flames on the mountaintop grew more and more intense, as if five giant dragons were soaring in the alchemy furnace, each leap accompanied by a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy.

The ripples spread out, bathing the entire mountain peak in a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

And below the mountain peak,

The emotions of the alchemists fluctuated with the progress of the pill refining process. Almost everyone subconsciously held their breath and clenched their fists nervously, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"boom--!"

On the seventh day at dawn, as the first rays of sunlight fell upon the mountain peak, the alchemy furnace finally erupted with a deafening roar.

Then,

Five-colored flames shot into the sky, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that soared straight into the clouds, painting half the sky like the aurora borealis!

Just then, the sky suddenly changed dramatically! The clouds high in the sky quickly darkened, and heavy dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky. Within the dark clouds, some silver lightning could be seen, moving around like silver snakes.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded, shaking the mountains!

Dark clouds surged like a tide, the wind howled like a dragon, and flashes of lightning transformed into silver snakes that danced wildly across the sky.

Everyone stared blankly at the superimposed celestial phenomena in the sky.

In the dark sky above the mountain peaks, it seems as if an invisible giant hand is stirring up the wind and clouds, rolling up layers of forest waves, and bending towering trees!

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, looking as if they were about to press down on the ground, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling!

"Is a seventh-grade elixir about to be produced?!"

"This is a brand new Grade 7 pill! If it is successfully refined, it means that there will be another Grade 7 pill formula on the continent!" Someone said excitedly, their face flushed.

The emergence of a seventh-grade pill and the emergence of a seventh-grade pill formula are two completely different concepts! Every high-level pill formula on the continent is extremely rare, and each time they appear, they represent a step forward for the entire alchemy world!
Being able to refine seventh-grade pills does not mean one can deduce the formula for seventh-grade pills! The difference in difficulty is more than ten thousand times greater.

To put it bluntly, sometimes it takes more than ten years for a single Grade 7 pill formula to appear on the mainland. Whenever a Grade 7 pill formula appears, it can cause a sensation even in the Central Plains. The Pill Tower will lower its status and send people to invite it as an honored guest.

"God help us, we must succeed!"

"If I could truly witness the birth of a brand-new seventh-grade pill formula, my life would have been worthwhile!" An elderly fourth-grade alchemist blushed, his hands trembling with excitement.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!

It's clear that he's truly passionate about alchemy, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited right now!
Having dedicated so many years to this path of study, this old man's obsession with alchemy is akin to that of a devout believer! If he didn't love it, how could he possibly bury himself in research day and night, pondering the various combinations and proportions of medicinal herbs?
Those bizarre and wonderful prescriptions seem simple at first glance.
But behind every pill formula lies the countless efforts of the alchemist. Even the lowest and most useless first-grade pill formula has many untold stories behind its creation.

It is because of the tireless efforts of countless people that the great profession of alchemist has been created!
Most of the alchemists below, like the old man before them, raised their heads and looked at the silver-haired figure on the mountain peak as if on a pilgrimage. A trembling excitement quietly arose in their hearts!

Many alchemists resonated with this moment!

This group of alchemists seemed to want that seventh-grade pill to appear more than anyone else.

The boy in black was also infected by this emotion, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, feeling extremely excited.

This strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the sky
This also alarmed a group of powerful Dou Huang and Dou Zong experts, including Yun Yun, Yun Shan, Jia Xingtian, and the two elders Qianbai. Immediately, the sound of wind breaking resounded in the sky, and figures flashed out from below, finally hovering in the sky, looking at the dark clouds spreading in the sky with solemn expressions.

Under the might of heaven and earth, even these powerful Dou Huang and Dou Zong cultivators felt a slight sense of unease!
The most excited of them all was undoubtedly the beautiful woman in the black dress with her icy demeanor; she was so excited that she was almost trembling.

Yao Chen and Venerable Tianhuo were also suspended in the sky, both looking solemnly at the lightning that moved around like silver snakes in the dark clouds.

"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation of a seventh-grade pill? It's truly terrifying!" Xiao Yan exclaimed in shock.

He looked up at the thick, dark clouds and couldn't help but gasp. The thunder rumbling within them seemed to explode right next to his ears, causing a buzzing sensation in his eardrums.

The boy in black had never seen such a scene before. He was completely terrified by what he saw.

"Boom--!"

Countless silver lightning bolts darted about within the heavy dark clouds, occasionally colliding to unleash deafening thunder. The sheer power of the heavens was enough to send shivers down one's spine. Xiao Yue glanced up at the lightning, which moved like silver snakes within the clouds, sensing the immense power of heaven and earth contained within it. A look of surprise and thoughtful contemplation flashed in her eyes.

This was the second time she had witnessed this so-called heavenly tribulation. The last time was when Queen Medusa defied the heavens and used a strange fire to evolve into the bloodline of the Devouring Python, which triggered the heavenly lightning.

Xiao Yue had always been very curious about... what the principle behind this thing was? If possible, she wanted to capture a lightning tribulation to study it.

Unfortunately, she was at a crucial moment in the process of condensing her core, and she couldn't spare the time to capture the majestic power of the heavens.

"I would like to trouble you all to take action to ward off this heavenly lightning."

Xiao Yue addressed the two elders and the others.

"Hehe, young friend, rest assured, this little matter is naturally no problem." The two elders exchanged a smile and nodded.

Then, with a swift movement, they flashed out and finally hovered on the left and right sides of the alchemy furnace.

In the sky, the dark clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the thunder became increasingly violent. Occasionally, a silver lightning bolt would strike down, carving a deep trench in the ground, a sight that was truly shocking.

The roar continued, and the five-colored flames in the furnace became even more turbulent, with a sense of grandeur rising up from them.

Inside that towering alchemy furnace, a perfectly round pill with black and white swirling on its surface, resembling a tai chi symbol, was slowly taking shape!

As the pill gradually took shape, the five-colored flames on the furnace became increasingly violent, each surge seemingly threatening to overturn the furnace.

"Crack!"

Just as the elixir was about to be fully formed, a massive silver lightning bolt, hundreds of meters long, suddenly struck down from the thick dark clouds above the sky. This lightning bolt almost occupied half of the sky, its silver light dazzling, and the violent power it contained caused the expressions of everyone below to change.

"It's finally here..."

Xiao Yue let out a soft breath, her gaze fixed intently on the alchemy furnace, without the slightest relaxation.

"boom--!"

After the silver lightning streaked across the sky, it resembled a giant silver dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it furiously slashed down at the alchemy furnace atop the mountain!

The two elders and the others snorted coldly and immediately attacked in unison. Thick streams of battle qi tore through the sky and clashed fiercely with the silver dragon!
"Boom--!"

A metallic clang resounded as the stream of battle aura collided with the silver dragon, unleashing a blinding light and powerful energy ripples.

However, the silver dragon was exceptionally powerful. Even when two peak Dou Zong experts joined forces to attack, it only caused the dragon to pause briefly before continuing its furious slash down, aiming straight for the alchemy furnace!

"hold head high--!"

The silver dragon roared, and with its massive jaws wide open, an even larger bolt of silver lightning shot out, blasting the mountain below into a cave-in and revealing the dark rocks beneath.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed. This Heavenly Tribulation of Pill Lightning was indeed terrifying!

"This is a peak seventh-grade pill lightning. To be on the safe side, let's all attack together, lest something unexpected happen!" Su Qian said at this moment.

Seeing this, the others stopped watching. Yunshan, Haibodong, Jiaxingtian and others also unleashed their full power, and countless powerful streams of battle qi once again blasted towards the silver dragon!

Being able to protect a seventh-grade alchemist is a favor in itself, and countless people across the continent would be vying for it! At this moment, it's natural to perform as diligently as possible.

"boom--!"

This time, the bombardment was even more powerful, changing the color of the sky and earth. The silver dragon also became illusory at this moment, clearly having been severely injured by the combined attack of everyone.

After several unsuccessful attempts to strike, the silver dragon exploded, turning into countless tiny bolts of lightning that stained the surrounding space silver.

With everyone working together, they defeated the lightning tribulation without taking any damage!
"Om-!"

Amidst these sparks of electricity, the yin-yang shaped pill suddenly trembled, and then a powerful aura quietly emanated from it.

"It's done..."

Sensing this aura, Xiao Yue murmured softly, then sealed the pill into a jade box.

"call--!"

As the elixir took shape, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, revealing a clear sky and bright sunshine.

"Congratulations on your successful alchemy!"

Upon seeing this, the two elders and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then cupped their hands and smiled at Xiao Yue.

The other party has already proven to them that she indeed has the ability to refine seventh-grade pills! From now on, regarding the Yin-Yang Dragon Profound Pill, they only need to collect and prepare the materials themselves!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Yue turned her gaze to Bei Ming Xiaomeng and said with a smile, "There's no need to rush to take this pill. I'll take you to a quiet place later to help you fuse with your body."

The woman in the black dress nodded, her previously cold eyes now revealing an indescribable excitement.

……

after that,

This alchemy competition has come to a perfect end.

However, the large number of alchemists gathered here seemed to still be immersed in that alchemy event. Their emotions were still running high, and they were all sitting cross-legged at the foot of the alchemy peak, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the effect she wanted, to create momentum for recruiting these alchemists in the future!

"Xiao Yan, come here."

Xiao Yue waved to the boy in black.

Xiao Yan, who was in the distance, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Then, Xiao Yue tossed the Fallen Heart Flame to him and said, "Your cultivation level is too low right now. This strange fire is known as a cheat code for cultivation. Cultivate well. You can't get fat in one bite. I'll give you a second strange fire when you break through to the Dou Wang realm."

The young man in black was initially taken aback by what he heard, but then he was overjoyed. He rubbed his hands together, and said somewhat awkwardly, "How could I possibly accept this..."

He then swiftly reached out and caught the ball of Fallen Heart Flame, his eyes practically overflowing with excitement.

As expected, the food provided by one's own older sister is the best!
The Fallen Heart Flame felt a wave of disgust and looked up at Xiao Yue with innocent eyes.

“Following him wouldn’t be a disgrace to you. I can let him retain your intelligence and witness the birth of the strongest flame in the future,” Xiao Yue said.

No one knows what the final form of the Burning Technique will be, but Xiao Yue is quite curious about it.
