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

Xiao Yan nodded, then ran down the mountain in a flash, heading straight for Mittel.

……

At this moment, Chen Yang was teaching Gu Ni how to refine Body Tempering Pills.

Compared to the Foundation Establishment Elixir, the formula for the Body Tempering Pill is not particularly remarkable, as there are many affordable alternatives on the Dou Qi Continent. The main difference lies in the cheapness of the raw materials for the Body Tempering Pill.

For at least the next six months, Body Tempering Pills will be a huge resource for both Xiao Lingya and Xiao Yan.

Training Gu Ni to refine pills would make his life easier.

As for the Foundation Establishment Divine Elixir, he might teach the formula to his daughter in the future, or he could deduce it himself when Xiao Yan becomes the Lord of the Endless Fire Domain!

"Teacher, I did it!"

Gu Ni looked at Chen Yang and said happily.

"Ok!"

"Next, you must produce at least eighty Body Tempering Pills within a month, is that alright?"

Chen Yang looked at Gu Ni and said with a smile.

"No problem, I can make a batch of second-grade pills in half an hour now!"

"Ignoring the success rate, I should be able to refine five pills a day without any problem!"

Gu Ni spoke respectfully to Chen Yang.

"Well, let's go!"

Chen Yang nodded, indicating that Gu Ni should go about her business.

As a result, less than ten minutes after Gu Ni left home, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The door opened, and Xiao Yan, dressed in a black outfit, walked in.

"Not bad, you've broken through to the fourth level of Dou Qi in just five days!"

Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yan, and he immediately understood Xiao Yan's condition.

"Brother Yang, I've run out of Body Tempering Pills, but I still have some Foundation Establishment Elixir. I've come today to buy another batch of Body Tempering Pills!"

Xiao Yan bowed respectfully and said.

His ability to break through to the fourth level of Dou Qi in five days was entirely due to Chen Yang's kindness. It can only be said that Chen Yang's kindness is still inexhaustible!

"Give!"

"I refined this in my spare time these past few days. Next month, you can just go to Gu Ni to buy it. I've already taught him how to refine the Body Tempering Pill!"

Chen Yang waved his hand and threw five bottles of Body Tempering Pills onto the table. There were thirty Body Tempering Pills inside.

"Thank you, Brother Yang, here's 600,000 gold coins!" With that, Xiao Yan took out a card from his storage ring and placed it in front of Chen Yang.

"Hmm, how's the collection of medicinal herbs I asked you to do?" Chen Yang casually put away the gold card, stuffed it into his storage ring without even looking at it, and then asked Xiao Yan.

"Father is ordering the family to collect..." Mentioning medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan immediately recalled the old doctor's sigh when he saw the list of medicinal herbs.

At that time, the old doctor said that he had never seen a pill that could reliably raise a Great Dou Master's cultivation to the third level in his life. He asked the old doctor if he could refine it with the list of medicinal materials. The old doctor shook his head and said that apart from the fifty-year-old Wind Spirit Grass, which could be seen to be specifically for wind attribute Dou Qi, the other medicinal materials looked very ordinary. The exquisite ones might be in the alchemy technique.

"Collect it as soon as possible!" Chen Yang instructed, as this was related to what it felt like to experience the cultivation of Dou Ling, otherwise he would have to wait a year to become a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded, bowed respectfully, and left Chen Yang's courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Yan first went to Ya Fei to buy a batch of medicinal materials for third-grade pills. Actually, Xiao Yan wanted to choose Qi Gathering Powder, but Mittel had released five Qi Gathering Powders at the auction in the past two days, which were obviously Chen Yang's masterpiece.

Xiao Yan had no intention of competing with Chen Yang for business, so he chose two kinds of third-grade pills, both of which could save lives in critical moments. These should be very necessary for mercenaries and heads of various families.

In these five days, besides Xiao Yan, Xiao Ling, Xiao Yong, and Ya Fei's cultivation has also made some progress.

However, Ya Fei's talent was still too poor; the amount of Dou Qi she gained in five days was not as much as Xiao Yan gained when he was beaten.

And the ingredients for the Yi Jing Xi Sui Dan are said to be on their way, and will be delivered from the capital to Wu Tan City in about half a month!

……

The next day, Xiao Yan originally planned to continue training while getting beaten up, but Xun'er was already waiting at the door.

The girl, dressed in a green dress today, almost stunned Xiao Yan.

Upon learning that Xiao Yan had broken through to the fourth level of Dou Qi, Xun'er insisted that Xiao Yan accompany her to stroll around the market, where she successfully obtained an iron piece inscribed with the Palm Absorption Technique.

After returning, Xiao Yan resumed his arduous training. After another half month of being beaten up, Yao Lao saw that Xiao Yan's physique was gradually becoming stronger. In addition, Xiao Yan had acquired some Yellow-rank fighting techniques that he considered to be utterly worthless. Therefore, he took out the Xuan-rank high-level fighting technique "Eight Extremes Collapse" and prepared to teach it to Xiao Yan.

That day, Chen Yang was watching Ya Fei auction items in the Mittel No. 1 auction hall when he suddenly heard a system notification:

【Ding! 】

[Detected: The highest-level fighting skill in Wutan City is the Xuan-rank high-level fighting skill "Eight Extremes Collapse" cultivated by Xiao Yan. The host has obtained the Di-rank low-level fighting skill "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms".]

Chapter 16: The Benefits of Ya Fei Breaking Through to the Dou Zhe Level!

"???"

The sudden system notification startled Chen Yang, but he quickly recovered.

"Low-level Earth Rank combat skill?"

"It seems that the cultivation process after taking the Body Tempering Pill has given Xiao Yan the conditions to learn the Eight Extremes Collapse ahead of time."

In the original story, although Yao Lao took out the "Eight Extremes Collapse" about half a month after the annulment of the engagement, it would probably take Xiao Yan more than a month of beatings to truly master it. According to the original story, Xiao Yan used the "Eight Extremes Collapse" for the first time when he was already at the sixth level of Dou Qi, which was three months after he learned the "Eight Extremes Collapse".

Xiao Yan should have quickly mastered the "Eight Extremes Collapse" technique, which is why the system reward was triggered.

However, this low-level Earth-rank fighting technique is called "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms". Hajitong, are you serious?

Because it was instilled by the system, Chen Yang was essentially the creator of the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms," able to control it with ease. When all eighteen palms were used at once, it was comparable to a mid-level Earth-rank fighting technique!

"Well... I haven't even used my 'Sunset Sword Technique' yet, and it's already become useless!" Chen Yang chuckled, got up, and left the auction hall.

……

At this moment, on the back mountain of the Xiao family, just as Chen Yang had expected, Xiao Yan, after watching the Eight Extremes Collapse and making a rough attempt, unleashed three bursts of hidden force.

"Tsk tsk..."

"I never expected you to have such talent in combat skills."

The old apothecary stroked his non-existent beard, marveling at it.

"I, your humble servant, was able to break through to the Dou Zhe level at the age of 11. My talent is unparalleled in the Dou Qi Continent!" Xiao Yan was naturally not that arrogant; he was just trying to provoke Yao Lao.

"Hmph... I've seen plenty of geniuses. To name just one, your brother Yang is only eighteen years old and he's already a nine-star Grand Dou Master. Who knows, he might advance to Dou Ling within a month or two!"

"As for you, you'd be lucky to become a Great Battle Master by the time you're eighteen!"

"Not to mention, he's at least a fourth-grade alchemist!"

Lately, for some reason, Yao Lao has been enjoying bickering with Xiao Yan.

"That's my brother Yang, how can I compare to him?"

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, having no intention of comparing himself to Chen Yang.

He knows his own limitations very well, and he just needs to take one step at a time and move forward steadily.

Moreover, before meeting Chen Yang, he never dared to imagine that he could break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi within half a year!

……

On this day, Chen Yang personally refined several batches of Body Tempering Pills, as well as some other pills to aid cultivation.

Feeling utterly bored, Chen Yang decided to go out for a walk and deliver the pills to Xiao Yong.

As a result, he saw Ya Fei rushing over in a fluster as soon as he stepped out the door, and she almost tripped and fell because she was a little flustered when she entered!

"Miss Yafei, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry in broad daylight?"

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, smelling the fragrance of Ya Fei's hair, and put his hand on her shoulder to support her, asking with a smile.

"what……"

Ya Fei looked down at her toes, feeling a little embarrassed, but found she couldn't see them at all. She hurriedly bumped into Chen Yang's arms, which was indeed very impolite.

"that……"

"The medicinal herbs you asked me to find have been transported from the capital today!"

"I came to find you as soon as I got it!"

Ya Fei took a deep breath, suppressing her shyness, and said to Chen Yang.

"Oh?"

"This is a good thing!"

"Put the medicinal herbs away carefully. When I return from the Xiao family, I'll start refining pills for you!"

Chen Yang patted Ya Fei on the shoulder, turned around and left gracefully, without staying in the courtyard any longer.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Ya Fei would become incredibly famous.

"Then...I'll wait for you to come back..."

Watching Chen Yang's departing figure, Ya Fei, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.

"Ya Fei, Ya Fei, why don't you watch where you're going!"

Thinking about how she had fallen into Chen Yang's arms, Ya Fei's blush, which hadn't faded, turned even redder. However, considering the gap between herself and Chen Yang, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh……"

A long sigh quietly echoed in the courtyard, while the two maids who were responsible for serving Chen Yang hid away and dared not look at Consort Ya in the courtyard, pretending to be mute and deaf!

……

At the Xiao family, Chen Yang successfully found Xiao Yong.

Nearly a month has passed, and Xiao Yong has already reached the eight-star Dou Zhe level, and is striving to become a nine-star Dou Zhe.

Actually, if the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn't only applicable to those in the Dou Qi stage and those with a bone age under thirty, Chen Yang would have also wanted to get one for Xiao Yong.

However, Chen Yang estimated that as his alchemist level improved, he would eventually obtain pills that could enhance the talents of adults.
