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

"Kid, look at your hands! You've been hit and you don't even care!" The old doctor said to his disciple with a helpless expression.

"What?" Xiao Yan hurriedly looked at his right fist and saw a gray energy rushing towards his wrist.

"This toxin won't endanger your life, but it will slow down your battle qi circulation. If you try to suppress it with your battle qi, it will overwhelm you. Brother Xiao Yan, be careful!"

Little Fairy Doctor chuckled, then drew her sword and charged straight at Xiao Yan.

"This poisonous fighting spirit is really troublesome..."

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth. Little Fairy Doctor was Yang Ge's confidante, so her cultivation technique must be extraordinary. His own "Burning Technique" was only at the high-level Yellow Rank, still a step away from the Profound Rank, let alone the Earth Rank.

Therefore... we must finish this quickly!

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and transferred the purple fire in his body to his right hand, which turned out to be surprisingly effective.

"Great! It seems that fire-attribute battle qi is indeed the nemesis of poison-attribute battle qi!"

Xiao Yan thought to himself as he wielded the Xuan Heavy Ruler and clashed with Little Fairy Doctor's longsword. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of blows.

Gradually, Xiao Yan realized that Little Fairy Doctor's combat experience was really terrible, far inferior to his own.

Glancing at Chen Yang, who was faintly visible inside the room, Xiao Yan slightly reduced his strength and began to train Little Fairy Doctor.

After conserving his Dou Qi, Xiao Yan's endurance increased, and Little Fairy Doctor also adapted to the battle at the Great Dou Master level, gradually becoming more and more adept at it.

"What an amazing talent for learning!"

Xiao Yan gradually began to struggle. After all, the Burning Technique was only at the advanced Yellow Rank, which was no match for the endurance of an advanced Earth Rank technique. If it weren't for his physical condition being comparable to that of a third-rank magical beast, he would have collapsed long ago.

"Brother Xiao Yan, this is the final blow!"

"Mr. Yao, please help us protect them!"

Little Fairy Doctor took two steps back and decided to try out the low-level Earth-rank combat skill she currently possessed!

"Teacher, thank you for your help!" Xiao Yan also gripped the Xuanzhong Ruler tightly, intending to unleash the "Flame Dividing Wave Ruler".

"Alas, these old bones of mine!" Old Yao shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Xiao Yan, this move of mine is a low-level Earth-rank fighting technique called 'Heavenly Poison Palm,' so be careful!" Little Fairy Doctor sheathed her sword and looked at Xiao Yan, saying.

"Sister-in-law, this move of mine is also a low-level Earth-rank fighting technique called 'Flame Dividing Wave Ruler,' so be careful!" Xiao Yan said.

"Alright, let's go!" Little Fairy Doctor nodded, and as her fighting spirit swirled, a large gray hand suddenly swung out towards Xiao Yan. Instantly, the surrounding area was filled with poisonous miasma, and Xiao Yan felt his breathing become somewhat sluggish.

"Well done, Flame Dividing Wave Ruler!!!" Xiao Yan shouted, and strange patterns flashed on the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand. Then, a red light over ten feet long rushed straight towards Little Fairy Doctor.

"boom!"

Intense energy exploded between the two, and just as the terrifying aftershocks were about to blast them away, Yao Lao waved his hand, and his terrifying soul power instantly dissipated the aftershocks of their battle.

"How was it, teacher..."

Xiao Yan, leaning on the Xuanzhong Ruler and panting heavily, looked at Yao Lao and asked.

"If it's a friendly sparring match, you have a slight edge!"

The old doctor looked at Little Fairy Doctor, who was in much better condition than Xiao Yan, and said to Xiao Yan with some helplessness.

"But if it were a life-or-death struggle, you would be dead by now!"

As Yao Lao spoke, he pointed to Xiao Yan's right hand, where the gray poisonous fighting qi had already covered his wrist.

Xiao Yan gave a helpless bitter smile. He also saw that Xiao Yixian was in excellent condition. If it were really a life-or-death struggle, his fighting spirit would be almost exhausted, while Xiao Yixian had hardly consumed any energy.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and glanced at Xiao Yan. With a gentle wave of her hand, the poisonous fighting spirit in Xiao Yan's right hand flew into the air and disappeared.

"Thank you for your mercy, sister-in-law..." Xiao Yan was saying when suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from inside the room.

The old man was startled and was about to carry the two away when the energy inside the room suddenly contracted.

"What's wrong... Teacher?" Xiao Yan looked into the room with concern.

"Your Yang brother is truly talented! If I'm not mistaken, he just broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Huang realm!" Yao Lao said, stroking his beard with admiration.

"No? Wasn't he only an eight-star Dou Huang recently? How did he become a nine-star?" Xiao Yan was dumbfounded. Could a Dou Huang level really achieve a one-star upgrade every two months?

Chapter 46 The Old Man of Medicine's Reflection: Chen Yang probably has the inheritance of a ninth-grade alchemist!

Chen Yang's aura as he broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Huang realm was naturally undeniable, even with the presence of two powerful figures, Yao Lao and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, in the courtyard.

Seeing that his momentum was unstoppable, Yao Lao entered Xiao Yan's body and temporarily took control of his body to prevent any unforeseen events from happening later.

As Chen Yang's powerful breakthrough aura spread out, a figure dressed in a magnificent purple robe spread out wings of battle aura and flew over, landing outside the courtyard. (The protagonist's own breakthrough aura will leak out, but the system-enhanced aura will not.)

"Where is this... Oh... Is that you?" Linfei's father, Linli, was about to ask when he saw Little Fairy Doctor standing in the courtyard.

Although Little Fairy Doctor had changed into a green dress, Lin Li still remembered the charm of Chen Yang and Little Fairy Doctor that day.

"Lord City Lord, please wait a moment. My husband is consolidating his cultivation. Please take a seat in the courtyard!"

The Fairy Doctor gracefully led Linli to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard and poured her another pot of tea.

Linli was naturally terrified, but when he saw the mess in the courtyard, he was puzzled. Had a battle taken place in the courtyard just now?

However, judging from the strength of the remaining battle qi, it should only be at the level of high-level Great Battle Master to Battle Spirit.

Knowing that the person who had broken through in the room was the same Dou Huang powerhouse he had met a few days ago, Lin Li obediently sat on the stone bench and drank tea. He was even more shocked when he discovered that a young man in a black alchemist's robe had appeared opposite him.

He's already a third-grade alchemist at such a young age, while his daughter just passed the first-grade alchemist exam yesterday.

Are all of these people top geniuses from some major sect?

"Young brother, I am Lin Li, the city lord of Black Rock City. May I ask your name?" Lin Li didn't dare to talk to Little Fairy Doctor. Sitting quietly was really boring, so he went to find Xiao Yan.

"You're too kind, City Lord. My name is Xiao Yan!" Xiao Yan replied, bowing to Lin Li.

"Hehehe... Brother Xiao Yan, there's no need to be so polite. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Big Brother." Lin Li is so cunning. He clearly saw that Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor had a good relationship, so he was trying to curry favor with the Dou Huang powerhouse.

"I am humbled." Xiao Yan smiled slightly and politely declined. He did not believe that a third-grade alchemist could befriend a Dou Wang expert on equal terms. It was obvious that the other party wanted to befriend Brother Yang.

Linli smiled when she heard this, but in her heart she was cursing. This kid looks young, but he's incredibly adept at social skills.

“Hehe… I have a daughter who is the same age as Brother Xiao Yan. She just passed the first-grade alchemist assessment yesterday and is in the Alchemist Guild in our Black Rock City. I wonder if you know her?” Lin Li continued to negotiate.

"You just passed the first-grade assessment yesterday?" Xiao Yan looked at Lin Li with a strange expression. If they both have the surname Lin, then the city lord's daughter, could it be the charming Lin Fei?

"Your Excellency is referring to Lin Fei, right? We met yesterday and even had dinner with Master Frank and the others..." Although Xiao Yan didn't want to befriend Lin Li through Chen Yang's connections, it wouldn't hurt to have another Dou Wang level expert as a friend.

So he started chatting with Lin Li...

Time passed quickly, and the sun soon climbed directly overhead to Blackrock City. The three people and two beasts in the courtyard were all powerful Great Battle Masters, so they were naturally not afraid of the scorching sun.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor poured Linli another cup of tea, a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly wafted into the room, and Linli immediately stood up.

"This...this fragrance is..."

A fervent glint flashed in Linli's eyes.

Xiao Yan instantly became alert, communicating with Yao Lao to possess him, and placed his hand on the Xuanzhong Ruler leaning against the stone table.

Little Fairy Doctor secretly gathered poisonous fighting energy. If Lin Li dared to make even the slightest unnecessary movement, the deadly poison of the Calamity Poison Body would immediately explode in the tea that Lin Li was drinking.

The two magical beasts that had been dozing under the eaves silently stood up. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's size quietly increased, and its lion eyes stared intently at Lin Li.

In an instant, Linli felt as if she were being watched by some great terror, her whole body turned cold and her back broke out in a sweat.

"Lord City Lord!"

"My brother Yang is refining a fifth-grade pill. Does the city lord intend to... take advantage of his misfortune?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Li with a cold expression.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li's scalp tingled instantly, and she quickly waved her hands: "Brother Xiao Yan, what are you saying? I... I was just attracted by the fragrance of the medicine, I had absolutely no such thoughts!"

Linli had no such thoughts; standing up was merely a subconscious physical reaction. She never expected to feel the threat of death emanating from these two young people, who were even younger than her daughter.

"That's good!"

Xiao Yan chuckled, but did not remove his hand from the Xuan Heavy Ruler. Little Fairy Doctor smiled and poured Lin Li another cup of tea, but this time, she added more ingredients to the tea.

Linli nervously finished the bowl of tea, just as the door opened.

"Haha, thank you for waiting, Lord City Lord!"

Hearing Chen Yang's hearty laughter, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his extreme tension, he had overlooked the fact that there was also a Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the courtyard, who was comparable to a five-star Dou Huang.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Linli congratulates Master on your advanced cultivation and the successful refinement of a superior-grade elixir!" Linli waved her hand, stood up, and bowed to Chen Yang.

"I'm sorry to have caused trouble for the city lord." Chen Yang chuckled, walked to the stone table and sat down, then handed the two jade bottles to Xiao Yan.

Linli didn't dare to look at it at all.

Xiao Yan took the jade bottle, glanced at Lin Li, and then opened each one to take a look...

"Brother Yang, there are actually ten pills in this bottle???"

"You...you refined ten portions of medicinal herbs at the same time???"

Xiao Yan was shocked. He was a third-grade alchemist and could only refine the ingredients for two first-grade pills at the same time. He never expected that Chen Yang, a fifth-grade alchemist, could refine ten fifth-grade pills at the same time.

“Twenty portions!” Chen Yang pointed to another jade bottle, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly opened another jade bottle to take a look, and indeed found ten more pills inside, which were the Yin-Yang Creation Pills.

"It seems I misjudged him. This kid has probably inherited the legacy of a ninth-grade alchemist. Refining two pills in one cauldron, tsk tsk. Even at my peak, I needed the Black Demon Cauldron to do that. This kid can do it at the fifth grade. Inheritance is one thing, but talent is another!"

The old man's sigh echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Brother Yang is still awesome!" Xiao Yan muttered to himself, then put away the two kinds of pills.

These two bottles of pills are enough for him to cultivate for a month.

Seeing this, Lin Li wanted to ask Chen Yang to refine pills, but he didn't know how to bring it up. Just as he was hesitating, Chen Yang took the initiative to speak to him.

"I have been bothering Blackrock City lately. If the City Lord has any pills of grade five or below that need to be refined, please follow the rules for alchemists."

"However, I can't stay in Blackrock City for more than a few days. I can probably only refine one batch of pills for the city lord."

Chen Yang looked at Lin Li's hesitant expression and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Although Lin Li is the city lord of Black Rock City, there are only two alchemists of the fifth rank or above in the Jia Ma Empire. Fama is a Dou Huang powerhouse, and Gu He is backed by the Yunlan Sect. If he wants to ask these two to refine pills, the conditions he has to pay may be more than ten times higher.
