Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

At the main gate of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yong on the shoulder: "Brother Yong, from today onwards, you will temporarily enter the Xiao family's Martial Arts Hall. Once you break through to the Martial Master level, you will become the Fourth Elder of my Xiao family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yong shook his head in fear: "Clan leader... I... I'm afraid I'm not up to the task of being an elder!"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Yong, to put it bluntly, the Xiao family was able to gain the friendship of an alchemist master entirely because of your unintentional act the other day. I believe in you. A person with a kind nature is absolutely capable of fulfilling the duties of an elder. With Master Chen Yang's help, you have a good chance of becoming a Great Dou Master in the future!"

Even after Xiao Yong returned home, he was still in a daze. Xiao Ling, with two ponytails and a few freckles on her face, clung to Xiao Yong's arm and asked timidly, "Father, will Uncle Chen Yang really refine pills for us?"

Xiao Yong reached out and picked up his daughter: "Don't worry, Ling'er, your Uncle Chen Yang is different from other alchemists we know..."

……

"So, that kid named Chen Yang is actually a kind person who knows how to repay kindness?" In Xiao Yan's room, Yao Lao floated in front of Xiao Yan, stroking his beard and saying with a strange expression.

“Teacher, I don’t know much more about Brother Chen Yang than you do, but judging from his attitude towards the Xiao family and Uncle Xiao Yong, Brother Chen Yang is definitely a good person!” Xiao Yan said earnestly.

"Heh... On this Dou Qi Continent, how many people appear to be good, but secretly engage in illicit activities like theft and prostitution? Good people? The ones who die the fastest are always the good people!" Elder Yao said with a disdainful look.

"Say what you will..." Xiao Yan pursed his lips, then looked at Yao Lao, "Teacher, Brother Chen Yang asked me to go to the Mittel Auction House tomorrow. Do you think he might have any pills that can be used even by those at the Dou Qi stage?"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary scoffed, "Heh... I'm not bragging, but on this Dou Qi Continent, there are definitely people whose alchemy skills are better than mine, but when it comes to foundational pills for the Dou Qi stage..."

Although the old man hadn't finished speaking, Xiao Yan could sense his confidence.

"Then let's go find Brother Chen Yang first tomorrow. If he doesn't have it, or if Teacher Yao sees that the efficacy of the medicine is not as good as the spiritual liquid you refined, then we'll go buy the medicinal materials!" Xiao Yan thought for a moment and decided to do both.

"Hmm!" Yao Lao nodded upon hearing this and floated into the ring.

……

Meanwhile, in Xun'er's room, Ling Ying stood respectfully in front of Xun'er.

"I never expected that Chen Yang would actually cure Brother Xiao Yan's problem of losing his fighting spirit!" Xun'er's brows relaxed, and she said happily.

"Today, Young Master Xiao Yan was about to lose his temper in the hall, but Chen Yang sent him some telepathic messages, which prompted him to take the next step!" Ling Ying said.

"This Chen Yang acted this way for the slightest favor from Uncle Xiao Yong. If he doesn't have any other motives, his character is absolutely impeccable!"

"Moreover, he also cured Brother Xiao Yan..."

"Elder Ling, if Chen Yang encounters any trouble in the future, please help him as much as you can. It will be a way of repaying this debt of gratitude to Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er said this.

“Miss, please forgive my boldness, but Young Master Xiao Yan and Mr. Chen Yang are of similar age. It would be better if they handled their own affairs!”

Ling Ying suggested.

"Hmm...you're right. But if he runs into trouble, Elder Ling should help as much as he can, as it would be a good deed!"

Xun'er nodded.

"Yes!"

……

After Chen Yang returned to Mittel, he had Ya Fei prepare a batch of medicinal herbs.

"Foundation Building Divine Liquid, a second-grade spiritual liquid, improved by Emperor Yan, the Lord of the Endless Fire Domain of the Great Thousand Worlds. Its effects are more than ten times that of ordinary Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!"

"Body Tempering Pill, a second-grade pill, was also improved by Emperor Yan. It is suitable for those at the Dou Zhe level and below to train their bodies. It will have miraculous effects when used in conjunction with Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid!"

"Thick Earth Pill, a second-grade pill, created by an ancient Dou Emperor. When taken by an earth-attribute Dou practitioner, it can instantly increase their cultivation level by one star. Continued use can also accelerate cultivation speed and gradually improve their perception of earth-attribute Dou Qi!"

Let's refine these three for now!

These three pills were the ones Chen Yang found from the pill formulas in his mind. These three pills were either from the future or from ancient times.

"Using Emperor Yan's elixir to nurture Emperor Yan will definitely result in an Emperor Yan...hehe..."

Chen Yang chuckled and instructed Ya Fei to summon Gu Ni so that he could observe from the side, while he directly started refining pills.

For Chen Yang, refining second-grade pills was very simple. In just one afternoon, he successfully refined ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid, twenty Body Tempering Pills, and ten Thick Earth Pills.

"Gu Ni, would you like to try refining a third-grade pill?" Chen Yang put the last Thick Earth Pill into a jade bottle, turned to look at Gu Ni, and asked with a smile.

"Teacher, I am willing to give it a try!" Gu Ni pondered for a moment, recalling Chen Yang's alchemy techniques, and decided to give it a shot.

"Alright, while the cauldron is still warm, you try refining the Qi-restoring pill. I'll watch from the side!" Chen Yang said, standing up to make room for Gu Ni.

Gu Ni nodded, took a deep breath, sat down next to the medicine cauldron, took out a portion of Qi-restoring pill ingredients, took a few more deep breaths, and then placed his hand on the mouth of the cauldron.

Half an hour later!

"boom!"

A muffled thud came from the medicine cauldron, clearly indicating that the first attempt had failed.

"Good, I see your general problem. This time, follow my instructions carefully, but be careful about the intensity of your soul power. Don't be too aggressive, but don't be too afraid either. If you're afraid, these violent liquids will take advantage of you. Come on, try again..."

An hour later, another "bang" came from the medicine cauldron.

"Idiot, fire! Fire! Didn't I tell you to fill the entire cauldron with fire? Is your soul power useless? Control the flames! Control the flames, do you hear me?"

Chen Yang finally understood why his teacher had scolded him back then.

When this student gets stupid, he really is stupid!

"Recover your fighting spirit and soul power. We'll continue in half an hour!"

Chen Yang glared at Gu Ni, who shrank back and sat cross-legged to recover his soul power and battle qi.

Half an hour later, it started again.

This time, Gu Ni proceeded with extreme caution. After an hour and a half of refining, he finally succeeded in completing the embryonic pill. Gu Ni then carefully used a gentle fire to slowly heat it until the surface of the pill became smooth. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew... Teacher, I did it! I did it!"

Gu Ni looked at Chen Yang excitedly.

"I understand, I understand!"

Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, not only because Gu Ni had advanced, but also because—

【Ding! 】

[Detected that Gu Ni, the highest-ranking alchemist in Wutan City, has advanced to a Rank 3 alchemist. Host's alchemist rank has increased to Rank 4!]

"Phew... I've reached the fourth rank!"

"Then we can start preparing to turn Xiao Zhan into an eight- or nine-star Great Dou Master!"

"Tsk...life is getting more and more promising..."

Chapter 13 The Marrow Cleansing Elixir of the I Ching!

When Xiao Zhan advanced to a six-star Great Dou Master, the system mechanism was not triggered. Chen Yang estimated that he would only advance to Dou Ling when Xiao Zhan became an eight- or nine-star Great Dou Master.

In fact, Chen Yang could have simply stayed put and waited a year or two before Xiao Yan set off for the Monster Mountain Range.

When the system scans the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the Monster Mountain Range, the user will directly become a Battle Emperor.

Once Xiao Yan arrives in Black Rock City, he will be able to directly advance to the fifth-grade alchemist level.

He would quietly follow behind Xiao Yan, doing nothing, until Xiao Yan set foot in the ancient realm of the ancient clans. Then he could ascend to the heavens in one step and directly become a Dou Di powerhouse. At that time, he would stop eating beef on this Dou Qi Continent.

Even if Xiao Yan becomes the Flame Emperor, he still can't beat himself.

But if you play like that, it's completely pointless. What's the point of just lying down?

Within a map, by utilizing the system's mechanics, one can cultivate a more powerful being, thereby enhancing their own strength. The power gained in this way will give them a strange sense of accomplishment.

Eighteen-year-olds are at the peak of their youthful passion. He got hooked on the original novel because of the anime adaptation of Battle Through the Heavens. All I can say is that after watching the anime and then reading the original novel, he suddenly felt that the long-running series was just a pile of crap.

When we come into this world, we should always make an impact, do something, and leave our footprints on every map.

"teacher!"

Just as Chen Yang was thinking about what to do next, Gu Ni got up, holding the pills, and knelt down in front of Chen Yang with a thud.

"Alright, get up!"

"At your age, what kind of appearance would it make to kneel before me?"

Chen Yang smiled and said to Gu Ni.

"teacher!"

"Gu Ni knows he's mediocre and can't help the teacher much!"

"But in the future, whenever the teacher needs Gu Ni, Gu Ni will be at the teacher's beck and call, even if we are thousands of miles apart!"

After standing up, Gu Ni bowed deeply, his voice trembling so much that he choked up.

"Alright, alright, come here, let me tell you something else..."

Chen Yang smiled and then pointed out some shortcomings in Gu Ni's alchemy process.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ni suddenly realized that although his aptitude was average, his long-term accumulation of knowledge and experience had enabled him to understand the questions Chen Yang was asking.

"After we get back, we'll practice more and then we'll be able to take the alchemist level exam!"

Chen Yang waved to Gu Ni, indicating that he could leave first.

"Yes, teacher!"

Gu Ni stood up and nodded, turning back every few steps to watch Chen Yang leave with reluctance.

"This old man..."

Watching Gu Ni leave, Chen Yang shook his head, then looked at the sky outside and realized it was already dark. Only then did Chen Yang remember that he had already guided Gu Ni in refining pills several times.

"Let's go eat..."

Chen Yang walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, intending to find something to eat.

As soon as they reached the door, there was a knock.

"Creak..." Chen Yang reached out and opened the door in confusion, only to find Ya Fei standing prettily in the doorway.

Today, Ya Fei is still wearing the same red dress she wore when we first met, and there is a hint of fatigue on her face, so she must have just come from the auction.

"Miss Yafei, have you eaten yet?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"No, I just finished. Those two Grade 3 Qi-restoring pills you gave me were fought over by quite a few Great Dou Masters. I was really busy tonight!" Ya Fei rubbed her waist, her lazy voice making one want to hug her.

"Let's eat together then." Chen Yang ignored Ya Fei's complaints and sat down with her at the stone table in the courtyard.
