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

"May I ask, Miss Yafei, Master Gu Ni, did this pill come from the capital?"

Xiao Zhan put away the pills and cautiously asked the two of them.

"No!"

"I know that Clan Chief Xiao has been troubled by the issue of your young master's talent. When Consort Ya returns, she will put in a word for Clan Chief Xiao!"

"If that master is interested, I will inform Clan Chief Xiao!"

Ya Fei smiled and said to Xiao Zhan.

"Understood, understood!"

"Xiao Zhan looked unwell when he came to visit today, please forgive him!"

"In fact, during today's testing ceremony, my son Xiao Yan is still stuck at the third level of Dou Qi!"

"Ugh……"

Xiao Zhan sighed, then said:

"If that master has a way to solve my son's talent problem, Xiao Zhan is willing to pay any price. Please, both of you, help me spread the word!"

"Xiao Zhan will take his leave now!"

After saying that, Xiao Zhan turned and left.

After a moment of silence, Ya Fei and Gu Ni also sighed.

They also knew about Xiao Yan from the Xiao family.

When Ya Fei first arrived in Wutan City, Xiao Yan's talent was still intact. At the age of eleven, he was a Dou Zhe, and in the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even the entire Northwest region, he was one of the top geniuses.

But now...

"We should talk to the teacher about this; what if he's interested?"

Gu Ni said to Ya Fei.

"Alright..."

Chapter 7 Guhe, that's nothing but a fart!

When Ya Fei and Gu Ni arrived at Chen Yang's courtyard, Chen Yang had just finished refining pills.

"Master Chen Yang!"

"teacher!"

Chen Yang stretched, nodded to the two of them, and slowly walked to the stone table under the jade willow tree in the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ni hurriedly stepped forward, wiped the table and chairs clean with his sleeve, and stood respectfully behind Chen Yang, performing the disciple's salute.

"Please sit down, please sit down!"

Chen Yang waved his hand, and Gu Ni and Ya Fei sat down next to him.

"The two Wind Spirit Pills sold for a total of 17 gold coins. After deducting the cost of the six medicinal herbs, we still have a little over 15 gold coins left. Here is your 11 gold coins, Master!"

Ya Fei settled the bill first.

"Ok!"

Chen Yang accepted the gold card and immediately put it into his storage ring. Then, he tossed out two jade bottles.

"There are two Qi-restoring pills in this bottle. They can be put up for auction in a couple of days."

"These three are Wind Spirit Pills. You should send them to other cities in the Jia Ma Empire!"

Chen Yang said softly.

"This……"

"Teacher, all of this... all of this you made in just half a day?"

Gu Ni was shocked when he took the jade bottles. One of the bottles was still warm to the touch, clearly indicating that it had just been made.

"It was just luck; I was fortunate that five portions of medicinal herbs yielded five pills!"

Chen Yang smiled. The alchemy skill rewarded by the system was truly amazing, with virtually no failure rate.

It should be noted that even Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable, with the strength of an eighth-grade alchemist, still has a chance of failure when refining sixth-grade pills on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Teacher is truly amazing!" Gu Ni exclaimed in admiration. Chen Yang's alchemy skills, not to mention his peers, would probably be far ahead even among those old-timers.

"Mr. Chen Yang, I'm afraid you'll be able to reach the sixth rank and become someone comparable to Pill King Gu He, right?" Ya Fei stared at Chen Yang's face with her beautiful eyes and praised him softly.

"Danwang Ancient River?"

"That's nothing but a fart!"

"This fellow wouldn't even be qualified to be a junior alchemist in my sect!"

To show off, you have to act all smooth and round.

"Sixth rank? Can't even become a disciple in alchemy?"

Although Ya Fei and Gu Ni did not know what a "medicine-refining boy" was, they could still understand the word "boy".

"That's right, the elder mentioned Gu He when he sent me to the Jia Ma Empire. He's so old and he's only a sixth-grade alchemist!"

"However, there are no high-grade alchemist lineages in this Gama Empire. The fact that he has managed to reach the sixth grade shows that he has some talent!"

Although Guhe is not very good, it must be admitted that Guhe is a talented player.

"Um……"

Both Gu Ni and Ya Fei nodded, acknowledging Chen Yang's statement.

However, the two of them still couldn't calm down. Chen Yang's background was indeed terrifying. He didn't even put a sixth-grade alchemist in his eyes. This time, they had really latched onto a powerful patron.

"By the way, Master Chen Yang, there's something I need to tell you..."

After regaining her senses, Ya Fei recounted Xiao Zhan's request and Xiao Yan's situation.

"An eleven-year-old fighter?"

"This talent is genius even in Central China!"

"Tsk tsk, I never expected to encounter such a genius in the Northwest region!"

Chen Yang put on an act again.

"Master Chen Yang, are you interested in this Xiao Yan?"

Ya Fei poured Chen Yang a cup of tea and asked softly.

"I want to see why this kid suddenly lost his Dou Qi vortex and stopped at the third level of Dou Qi after three years!"

"By the way, you just said that Xiao Zhan mentioned that the Xiao family conducted another test today?"

Chen Yang nodded, admitting his interest in Xiao Yan, and then suddenly asked another question.

"Yes, if we count the days, Xiao Yan of the Xiao family is fifteen years old this year!"

"Ya Fei said softly."

"Um……"

Chen Yang nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and roughly understood.

So it turns out I just happened to be there right at the beginning of the story.

So tomorrow, will it be a classic scene from Battle of the Three Kingdoms: the annulment of the engagement?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang smiled slightly, put down his teacup, and looked at Ya Fei: "Miss Ya Fei, please send someone to inform Xiao Zhan that we're going to the Xiao family tomorrow morning to join in the fun."

Ya Fei nodded. The reason she was able to manage an auction house in a city despite being a woman and having no cultivation level whatsoever was because she was ten times smarter than others.

Since Chen Yang didn't explain the reason, she naturally wouldn't ask; she would simply obediently carry it out.

From the moment Gu Ni addressed Chen Yang as her teacher, it meant that the entire Mittel Auction House in Wutan City was, in effect, Chen Yang's, which naturally included Ya Fei as well!

Ya Fei turned and went to handle the matter, while Gu Ni humbly sought instruction in alchemy.

Chen Yang naturally spoke frankly and without reservation, which made Gu Ni quite satisfied.

For so many years, he had never thirsted for knowledge as much as he did today.

……

At this moment, after returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan briefly instructed everyone not to disturb him, and then closed the door to prepare to swallow the pill.

"With my talent, this one pill probably won't be enough for me to break through!"

"But what if..."

Xiao Zhan was quite looking forward to becoming a six-star Great Dou Master after tonight, and it would be even better if he could save up a third-grade pill as a family foundation!

After thinking it over, Xiao Zhan adjusted his state, put the pill in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Half an hour later, a surge of powerful energy suddenly erupted from the location of the Xiao family patriarch, followed by Xiao Zhan's hearty laughter.

"Hahaha!"

The laughter attracted the attention of the guards outside the door, who turned to look at each other with puzzled expressions.

Today, Young Master Xiao Yan's test result is still stuck at the third level of Dou Qi. Shouldn't the clan leader be sad? Why is he laughing so happily?

"Squeak!"

The main gate of the house suddenly opened, and the guards, their eyes locked, immediately stood at attention.

"Report, Chieftain, the people from the Mittel Auction House have arrived!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to go to the back mountain to tell Xiao Yan the good news of his breakthrough, a guard suddenly stepped forward to report.

"Quickly, lead the way!"

Xiao Zhan was overjoyed. Ya Fei's people had arrived. Could it be that the mysterious alchemist had agreed to his request?

"Yes!"

Upon arriving at the reception hall, a middle-aged woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, whose strength was at the Seven-Star Dou Shi level, looked at Xiao Zhan and bowed respectfully: "Clan Chief Xiao, Miss Ya Fei asked me to convey a message that a certain esteemed person will come to the Xiao family tomorrow morning to examine Young Master Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Zhan was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Your Excellency, and thank you, Miss Ya Fei!"
