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

"Sister Xiao Yue, where do we go next?"

After watching the girl and the ancient clan members leave, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but look at Xiao Yue, who was not far away.

"No rush. The Blazing Sun Ancient Altar is still of some use to me. Moreover, your poison body has just been perfected. I can refine an eighth-grade pill here, which will be of great use to you in the future when you completely refine the Netherworld Poison Butterfly."

"Moreover... it seems the Ye family still has some unresolved troubles." Xiao Yue smiled and raised her slender hand to stroke the delicate girl's snow-white silk stockings that danced in the wind, teasingly saying.

Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback, then immediately understood what she meant.

"Does Sister mean to help people to the end?" Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head and asked curiously.

Xiao Yue nodded. Although she had only been in Zhongzhou for a few months, she had already caused quite a bit of trouble. The Blood Pool of Tianmu Mountain, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the Ice River Valley, the Black Sun Sect, and so on, she had made many enemies with each of them, not to mention her old friends, the Soul Palace group.

Although the Ye family in the Central Region is not particularly strong overall, they have some connection with the Pill Tower. She remembered that Yao Chen seemed to have a past with the Pill Tower, so it would be good to take this opportunity to establish contact with the Pill Tower and gain another potential ally.

The Pill Tower is regarded as a "holy land" by all alchemists in this world, on par with the Soul Palace. Its status is such that even the imperial families of the Central Continent treat it with respect. Moreover, as the alchemist's stronghold, it has unparalleled influence.

What Xiao Yue values ​​most is that, as the most powerful alchemist force on the continent, the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace are inherently at odds!
After all... alchemists have a unique advantage: their innate soul essence is incredibly powerful, and the main source of souls captured by the Soul Palace is alchemists!
For thousands of years, the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace have been as incompatible as water and fire!

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Xiao Yue quite agrees with this statement.

……

……

……

The Ye family was naturally delighted that Xiao Yue wanted to stay at the Ye residence for a while. After all, they all knew just how powerful Xiao Yue was. Being able to get on the good side of such a person was like winning the lottery for the Ye family. They were even more enthusiastic when they learned that Xiao Yue was also a high-ranking alchemist.

For the next few days, Xiao Yue stayed indoors, focusing on refining pills in front of the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar.

The Ye family's Blazing Sun Ancient Altar is an excellent place for refining elixirs. It can not only enhance her strength, but also play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

Inside the ancient altar, as precious medicinal herbs were transformed into medicinal liquids in Xiao Yue's hands, and after a complex refining process, they finally condensed into a crystal-clear nascent pill.

The moment the elixir embryo took shape, the entire Ye residence seemed to be enveloped in a rich medicinal fragrance.

This medicinal fragrance is not only refreshing, but also possesses an indescribable magical power, making people irresistibly want to approach the vicinity of the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar.

However, whenever members of the Ye family tried to approach, they were ruthlessly driven away by the elders of the Ye family. Nevertheless, the news that Xiao Yue had refined an eighth-grade pill still spread throughout the Ye family.

"It really is an eighth-grade pill!"

The eldest elder of the Ye family gasped.

He was a peak seventh-grade alchemist who had been stuck at this level for a hundred years, so he naturally knew the gap between them.

The prerequisite for advancing to the eighth-grade alchemist is to reach the Spirit Realm in soul cultivation. There are very few people in the entire Central Continent who can meet this requirement!

After all, the so-called three giants of the Pill Tower, and even Yao Chen, who once claimed to be the number one on the continent, were only at the peak of the eighth grade. The reason why Yao Chen was hailed as the number one was because he once refined a ninth-grade pill with his peak eighth-grade soul. It was this heaven-defying act that made Yao Chen the number one!
After all, not everyone is like Xiao Yue, whose soul origin is naturally at the Spirit Realm level.

The Ye family has long since fallen into decline, retaining only the title of one of the five great alchemy families. Their position in the Pill Tower is precarious, so it's no wonder they were bullied by a small sect like the Black Sun Sect!
Even the Ye family's eldest elder, who possesses the highest level of alchemy skills, is only a peak seventh-grade alchemist. Without an eighth-grade alchemist presiding over them, the five great alchemy families of Zhongzhou are not worthy of their name!

"An eighth-grade elixir..."

A hint of confusion and bewilderment flashed in Feng Qing'er's eyes.

Grade eight pills—a grade so prestigious it sends shivers down one's spine—are extremely rare, even in the vast and prosperous Central Continent. And alchemists capable of refining grade eight pills are among the very elite, even within the Pill Tower.
This grade of pill is already considered to be among the top of all pills, enough to make some of the old monsters of the Dou Zun level in her clan fight for it.

Outside the ancient altar.

The Little Fairy Doctor stood suspended in mid-air, her long, snow-white hair casually tied with a purple ribbon. A gentle breeze blew, and her ethereal beauty caused some of the Ye family members walking around the Ye residence to slow their pace unconsciously, and their eyes gleamed with a hint of admiration.

The Ye family members didn't know much about this delicate, snow-haired girl. All they knew was that this seemingly aloof and beautiful girl had always been by the side of the silver-haired woman. And most importantly, this girl, who didn't look much older than them, was a Dou Zun powerhouse even stronger than the Ye family's eldest elder!
This caused many so-called geniuses to pale in comparison to her almost monstrous talent for cultivation. However, this did not prevent the girl from becoming the object of many Ye family members' dreams during this period.

Of course, such thoughts can only remain in one's mind.

"Boom!"

Just then, a bell suddenly rang out at the Ye residence.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and asked Ye Xinlan in the distance.

At this moment, Xiao Yue was at a crucial stage in refining an eighth-grade pill. The young girl did not want anyone to disturb her. After all, even people who did not understand alchemy knew that disturbing an alchemist was a major taboo!

"Trouble is brewing..."

A bitter look flashed in Ye Xinlan's eyes. She sighed inwardly, knowing that this time things might not end well.

"Trouble? At this hour, someone is actually trying to cause trouble for the Ye family? Wasn't the deterrence we gave them a while ago enough?" Little Fairy Doctor frowned.

She glanced around and noticed that all the Ye family guards who had been there had been evacuated. Clearly, this trouble was no ordinary matter.

However, what puzzled Little Fairy Doctor was that after the last time she wiped out two eight-star Dou Zong elders of the Black Sun Sect, very few people dared to provoke the Ye family anymore.

Who are these people who have come this time?

Heavenly Demon Phoenix? Soul Palace?

"This time, no ordinary force has come." Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's expression, Ye Xinlan seemed to know what she was thinking and sighed, "The Cao family, one of the five great families of the Pill Tower."

"Cao family?"

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly. She had naturally heard of the five major families in the Pill Domain, and the Cao family was one of them.

Of course, this family is not comparable to the declining Ye family. This family has always produced a continuous stream of alchemy talents, which has made the Cao family's reputation stronger and stronger. Among the five major families, apart from the most low-key Dan family, the Cao family is probably the strongest.

The clan alone has several Rank 8 alchemists! Moreover, the Cao family is considered a high-ranking member of the Pill Tower. Not to mention anything else, those few Rank 8 alchemist elders alone are enough to make them run rampant in the Central Continent!

And it is precisely because of this that the Cao family has been at its zenith in recent years, with its influence in the Pill Domain growing ever stronger. Compared to the declining Ye family, they are worlds apart.

"But is it because of your marriage?"

Little Fairy Doctor pondered for a moment.

Ye Xinlan nodded. When the Ye family was desperate, they planned to marry her off to the Cao family. In that case, the Cao family would be able to help the Ye family pass the test, but the Ye family would inevitably be gradually swallowed up by the Cao family.

So when Xiao Yue appeared, the Ye family gave up on the marriage. Now that the Cao family has suddenly arrived, everyone knows what they're up to.

"Let's go, I want to see what's so special about the Cao family..." the snow-haired girl said softly.

She didn't care about the conflict between the Ye and Cao families; she just didn't want anyone to disturb her sister's alchemy. Besides, she had a good impression of Ye Xinlan these past few days, so she didn't mind lending a hand.

……

Ye Family Front Yard

The large courtyard was now crowded with people, creating an atmosphere of extreme tension.

The two camps were clearly divided, with the Ye family and others naturally forming one side.

On the other side of the front courtyard of the hall, there were nearly a hundred figures dressed in light red robes. These people stood straight and had a rather arrogant aura. The way they looked at the Ye family and others opposite them also had a sense of superiority. Of course, given the current status of the Cao family in the Pill Domain, the Ye family was indeed incomparable to them.

At the forefront of the Cao family group were two elderly men in red robes. The two men had indifferent expressions and exuded a powerful aura. Their hands were tucked into their sleeves, and they were clearly not ordinary people. However, what attracted the most attention was not these two men, but an elderly man in gray robes and a man in purple alchemist robes standing in front of them.

The gray-robed old man appeared quite old, his face covered with deep wrinkles, as if he were on his deathbed. However, the fact that he stood at the very front indicated that he was no ordinary person. Moreover, anyone with a modicum of strength could sense that while his aura wasn't as powerful as the two red-robed old men behind him, the dangerous aura he exuded was far superior to theirs.
This is the gray-robed old man, a Dou Zun powerhouse!
As for the man in the purple alchemist's robe behind the gray-robed old man, he was quite young and handsome. However, beneath that handsomeness, he could not hide a hint of arrogance. Of course, given the badge on his chest, no one would say anything about this arrogance, because he had the right to be arrogant.

The badge is light blue, with a faint resemblance to flames swirling around it. Within the flames is a tower-shaped structure, upon which seven dazzling purple-gold stars shimmer, making it extremely eye-catching.

A seventh-grade alchemist!
Moreover, it was an alchemist badge issued by the Pill Tower! This young man, who looked to be only in his early twenties, was actually a seventh-grade alchemist!

“Young Master Cao Dan, it is indeed wrong of my Ye family to withdraw our original agreement. However, the Cao family did not have any objection to this matter beforehand. Why are you coming here in such a grand manner today? What is your intention?” The eldest elder of the Ye family looked at the group of people who came with ill intentions in front of him with a slightly ugly expression and said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Elder Ye, you jest. Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly. Since your Ye family initially proposed it, and now you're suddenly withdrawing it, how is my Cao family supposed to explain this to the outside world?" The young man in the purple alchemist's robe smiled faintly, his hand lightly clenched, a wisp of flame dancing at his fingertips, before glancing at Ye Zhong:
"Could it be that Elder Ye is deliberately making fun of my Cao family?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong's expression changed slightly.

“Young Master Cao Dan, this marriage was only a preliminary consideration by both parties and has not yet been officially decided. Therefore, my Ye family has the right to withdraw it.” Ye Zhong’s face darkened and he said, “Xinlan will not marry into the Cao family. This marriage will be treated as if it never happened. I hope Young Master Cao Dan will not continue to dwell on this matter.”

Upon hearing Ye Zhong's words, Cao Dan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly, "Hehe, the Ye family is really capable now. Elder Ye Zhong, do you really think that after the last great battle in Ye City, your Ye family can regain its former glory?"

Towards the end, the handsome young man's words became noticeably more sinister.

At the same time, the gray-robed elder beside him also slowly took a step forward. As he took this step, a terrifying aura suddenly filled the hall, as if a giant mountain had risen out of thin air, causing some Ye family members with weaker strength to turn pale on the spot.

"The Cao family...how powerful they are."

As the words fell, a graceful figure in white drifted in from afar. It was Little Fairy Doctor. She stood in mid-air, her snow-white hair flowing, and her clear, watery eyes held a serene and unapproachable quality.

The purple ribbons behind her fluttered in the wind, as if a mysterious power was flowing within them.

Upon seeing this, the Cao family members' expressions all changed. The gray-robed elder's eyes flashed with a sharp light, clearly recognizing Little Fairy Doctor's identity. He was secretly astonished that this Calamity Poison Body had actually broken through to the Dou Zun level, just as rumored.

Cao Dan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had naturally heard of Little Fairy Doctor's reputation and the waves she had recently stirred up in Zhongzhou. The terrifying power of her Calamity Poison Body made even him feel a chill.

but,

This was not enough to make the Cao family retreat. After all, as one of the five great families of alchemy in Zhongzhou, their influence and appeal were far beyond what the so-called Ice River Valley and Wind and Thunder Pavilion could compare to!
“Young lady, the affairs between my Cao family and the Ye family are none of your business. I hope you will not interfere, otherwise…” Cao Dan slowly began to speak in a deep voice.

"What else?"

Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head and slowly reached out her hand, as if she didn't want to waste any more words.

At this moment, the girl suddenly stopped, because she heard her sister Xiao Yue's voice in her ear:

"It is not advisable to start a war with the Pill Tower. Let Xiao Yan gamble with him on pills and resolve this matter peacefully. If he still does not know his place, it will not be too late to kill him."

Little Fairy Doctor was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Before she could react, she saw the space above the Ye residence suddenly tear apart as if the sky were turning upside down.

You hear their voice before you see them!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I want to go home!"

"Aaaaaah! Sis! Help!"

"This spatial storm is terrible!"

A series of loud shouts and cries, like those of someone slaughtering a donkey, came from the sky!

Immediately afterwards, a black-clad youth carrying a Xuan ruler fell out of a spatial rift amidst the spatial storm.
"Oh!"

Cao Dan looked up in a daze, and suddenly felt a grayness before his eyes. Before he could react, he fainted on the spot.

Because he was carrying the heavy ruler, the black-clad youth smashed it directly onto the head of the unfortunate Cao Dan, creating a crater about ten feet wide in the ground...

Thank goodness, he wasn't killed.

“ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh, am I okay?”

"This seat cushion is quite soft!"

The black-clad youth, who had fallen from the spatial storm, climbed up from Cao Dan's head. Feeling a bit shaken, he touched his entire body and, finding no injuries, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became smug.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone fell into silence.
