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

Now that the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King has successfully broken through to the fifth-tier magical beast level, the only use for this thing is feeding the pet snake.

"Ha...hiss hiss hiss..." After drinking half a bottle of the companion amethyst source, the Devouring Python let out a comfortable hiss, twisted its body and climbed onto Chen Yang's shoulder, rubbing its little head against Chen Yang's face again and again.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was also filled with affection, so he scooped up the Devouring Python and kissed it directly.

Just as Chen Yang's gaping maw was about to kiss the Devouring Python, a strong red light suddenly shone from its body. Chen Yang was slightly startled, and then he felt a soft touch on his lips. When the light faded, the small snake in his hands transformed into a naked, delicate body. The only difference was that this body had a pale purple tail below its abdomen. (Please don't argue, this is from the original novel.)

Looking at the head of black hair before him, Chen Yang moved his lips away from Medusa's forehead and then looked at the beautiful snake woman in his arms.

Meanwhile, Medusa looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression. Through sharing the memories of the Devouring Python, she knew very well everything Chen Yang had done in the Snake-People tribe, and she also knew what Chen Yang had taken her through during this time.

"It seems Her Majesty's soul power has recovered quite well!" Chen Yang said with a smile, feeling the softness in his hand and looking Medusa up and down with an aggressive gaze.

"Medusa is aware of everything you have done to the Snake People. Thank you for sparing my four elders." Medusa spoke slowly in a voice ten times more alluring than Ya Fei's, her words filled with gratitude.

“There’s a saying from my hometown: ‘Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.’ The snake people are not enemies to me. Since they are not enemies, there’s no need to make things too tense. What do you say, Your Majesty?” Chen Yang shifted his gaze to Medusa’s face, looking at her phoenix eyes, and said with a smile.

“This old gentleman from your hometown is a wise man!” Medusa nodded and praised.

“He prefers to be seen as a teacher.” Chen Yang smiled, a touch of nostalgia in his heart.

“A person who can say such things must have countless students…” Medusa said.

"Him..." Chen Yang smiled. His disciples were indeed all over the world.

Seeing Chen Yang's nostalgic expression, Medusa quietly broke free from his embrace. With a flick of her pale purple snake tail, she moved to Chen Yang's bedside and pulled the blanket over her body.

Chen Yang smiled, waved to put away the medicine cauldron, got up and walked to the table opposite the bed to sit down: "It seems that Your Majesty will need some time to fully take control of your new body, right?"

Medusa frowned slightly upon hearing this: "What you say is true. Moreover, it seems that the Devouring Python has given birth to a new soul. The flame that you devoured for her has a great suppressive effect on me. If the Devouring Python's body grows to the seventh level, I may cease to exist!"

Medusa didn't know what Chen Yang was thinking. Whether he needed an obedient Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python or an obedient Medusa was very important to her.

Chen Yang poured himself a cup of tea, and with his fighting spirit, he flew to Medusa's side, dragging the bottom of the cup with him. After watching Medusa take the cup, Chen Yang slowly said, "This matter is not difficult to resolve. I have now advanced to the sixth-grade alchemist, and I have a pill called the Spirit Fusion Pill. This pill can not only restore Her Majesty's soul power to its original state, but also allow you to perfectly control this body, and even preserve the soul of the Devouring Python."

Medusa's breath hitched, and as her body trembled, the blankets around her chest slipped down slightly, immediately catching Chen Yang's attention.

It has to be said that compared to full illumination, this half-hidden and half-revealed appearance is much more attractive.

"Medusa, what price must be paid to persuade you to refine this elixir?" Medusa seemed oblivious to the slipping bedding, asking with a hopeful expression.

"You!" Chen Yang stared intently at Medusa, his words concise and to the point.

"..." Medusa looked at Chen Yang, and after a long silence, another light flashed across her body, transforming her back into the Devouring Python.

The giant python, trapped under the blanket, whimpered and whimpered. Then, a ball of seven-colored flame flew out and burned a hole in the blanket. The python then flew to Chen Yang and rubbed its little head against his face.

"You little rascal..." Chen Yang reached out and placed the Devouring Python on his shoulder, then got up and walked out of the room. As for Queen Medusa... there's plenty of time for that!

After leaving the house, Little Fairy Doctor and Consort Ya were sparring in the courtyard, with Qing Lin attending to them. As for Yun Yun, she had left the capital yesterday and returned to Yunlan Mountain.

Now, both Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian are at the level of a nine-star Grand Dou Master. When Xiao Yi Xian doesn't use poison, her combat experience is about the same as Ya Fei's. The two novices fighting each other has a unique charm.

As for Qing Lin, her strength has not improved quickly, and she is only a seven-star Dou Zhe now. The two-headed fire spirit snake is too powerful for her, and the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is quite difficult for her to digest.

In a few days, Xiao Yan will go to the Monster Mountain Range with the newly upgraded Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to capture some snake-like monsters. Green Barbarian will then send over the resources and cultivation techniques from the Heavenly Serpent Palace, which will speed up Qing Lin's strength improvement.

"Young Master!"

"Oh, the Devouring Python has awakened too!"

When Qinglin saw Chen Yang, she called out happily. Then, seeing the Devouring Python on Chen Yang's shoulder, she smiled and greeted it.

However, when the Devouring Python saw Qing Lin, it suddenly darted behind Chen Yang. Even the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, a serpentine magical beast, had an innate fear of the Azure Serpent with Three-Flower Pupils.

"Ugh..." Qinglin pouted unhappily when she saw the Devouring Python hiding from her.

"Silly girl, your Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is a natural counter to snake-type magical beasts, so naturally Xiao Cai is afraid of you!" Chen Yang reached out and patted Qing Lin's head to comfort her.

"I'm sorry, young master..." Qinglin looked up at Chen Yang, a glistening tear in her eye.

"Why are you apologizing? Once you get stronger, Xiao Cai will get stronger too!" Chen Yang smiled, comforting the little girl's somewhat fragile heart.

"I...I will definitely work hard to become stronger and try to control my eyes!" Qinglin said earnestly.

"come on!"

……

Chen Yang was in a great mood, and Xiao Yan was also in a very good mood.

Today is the last day of treatment for Nalan Jie, and Xiao Yan also took some time yesterday to go to the Alchemist Guild in the capital and get the badge of a fourth-grade alchemist.

Now, dressed in a fourth-grade alchemist's robe and wearing a fourth-grade alchemist's badge, Xiao Yan walked on the streets of Jia Ma Holy City, attracting frequent glances from those around him, who were all discussing where this young fourth-grade alchemist came from.

In fact, Xiao Yan also encountered Fa Ma's recruitment when he went to take the test, but when Fa Ma learned that Xiao Yan came from the Mittel family, he immediately changed to a sycophantic face.

A powerful Dou Huang and a peak fifth-grade alchemist fawned over Xiao Yan when he saw him.

The old man Yao Lao inside Xiao Yan's body also recognized Fa Ma—the old man who had once given him a few pointers, but was now almost being overtaken by his little disciple.

As Xiao Yan stepped through the gate of the Nalan family's residence, Yao Lao's voice echoed in his mind: "Xiao Yan, haven't you always been quite low-key? Why are you being so flamboyant now that you've arrived in the capital?"

Xiao Yan chuckled upon hearing this: "Teacher, now that I'm in the capital, I don't represent my own face, nor yours, the Medicine Venerable who's been dead for so many years, but my brother Yang's face."

Yao Lao's face immediately darkened, while Xiao Yan continued, "I don't know why Brother Yang would help me so much. Uncle Yong helped Brother Yang when he was down on his luck, but that doesn't mean Brother Yang would extend his love to everything related to him. Perhaps I have something that Brother Yang needs, or perhaps the Xiao family has something that Brother Yang needs. The mysterious Xun'er and the mysterious Brother Yang, their appearance in Wutan City may not be a coincidence."

Looking at Xiao Yan, who still had a smile on his face, from inside the ring, Yao Lao felt a pang of heartache for his disciple. This child seemed to have few worries, but he actually knew everything!

“Teacher, everyone comes into this world for their own purpose. You absorbed my fighting spirit for three years, then took me as your disciple and passed on the Burning Technique to me. You have the idea of ​​passing on your mantle, but you also have the reason that I can help you revive by mastering the Burning Technique. I understand all of this!” Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao in his heart as he looked at Nalan Yanran standing under the eaves.

"Child, I..."

"Teacher, whether it's you, Xun'er, or Yang-ge, whatever your purpose or reason may be, none of that matters to me. What matters is that you've all been very good to me!"

"When I, Xiao Yan, came into this world, there were many people who were very, very good to me: my father, mother, eldest brother, and second brother. They were the people who were the best to me from the beginning."

"Later, I lost my talent. After my mother passed away, only my father, my eldest brother, my second brother, and Xun'er remained. At that time, I almost lost faith in the world."

"Until you and Yang-ge appeared..."

"Today, I have the power I have now, and the hope of standing in front of Xun'er's family, all thanks to you, Teacher and Brother Yang. As long as you don't let me down, I, Xiao Yan, will repay you a thousandfold!"

“Brother Yang is currently in the capital, and as the only younger brother under him, my words and actions represent his reputation.”

"Yang-ge might not care about these things, but I do!"

"A fourth-grade alchemist who's not even eighteen years old, tsk tsk, didn't you see the look in Fa Ma's eyes? He might have just been afraid of Brother Yang at first, but after I passed the test, his eyes were full of admiration..."

"Teacher, when I create a body for you and help you revive, I can become your pride and bring you honor!"

Xiao Yan said this.

"You child, talking such nonsense is really..."

Inside the ring, Yao Lao's voice trembled as he complained to Xiao Yan. He looked up, wanting to shed tears, but found that as a soul, he had lost this ability.

"hey-hey……"

Xiao Yan chuckled and stepped in front of Nalan Yanran.

At this moment, when Nalan Yanran saw the fourth-grade alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, a bitter expression once again appeared on her face.

'Teacher... what should I do if I regret it?'

Nalan Yanran gazed towards the direction of Yunlan Sect, a single tear sliding down her cheek and scattering with the wind...

Chapter 77 Chen Yang: Xiao Yan, congratulations on making a fortune again!

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The black alchemist's robe adorned with purple patterns on the young man's body made a subtle sound as it rubbed against the air, resonating with every chord in Nalan Yanran's heart.

"Miss Nalan!" Xiao Yan walked up to Nalan Yanran and greeted her with a smile.

"Cough...I'm here!" Nalan Yanran coughed lightly as if something was stuck in her throat, forcing a smile.

"Let's go, today is the last day to detoxify Old Master Nalan!" After saying that, Xiao Yan ignored Nalan Yanran and walked directly towards Nalan Jie's courtyard in the backyard.

"..." Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Nalan Yanran hesitated for two and a half seconds, forced herself to put on a smile, exclaimed "Sigh", and chased after him!

……

After a long hour, Xiao Yan withdrew the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from Nalan Jie's body. He then carefully examined Nalan Jie's spine with his soul power to confirm that there was no trace of the branding poison left. After confirming that there was no longer any trace of it, he withdrew his right hand from Nalan Jie's back and jumped off the bed.

"Nephew Xiao Yan!"

"Has the old man's poison really been completely removed?"

Upon seeing this, Nalan Su stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"I have fulfilled my mission!"

Xiao Yan cupped his hands and smiled, in an excellent mood. He had gained a great deal from this trip to remove the poison from Nalan Jie.

Besides the conditions agreed to by the Nalan family, his fire control ability had improved several times compared to seven days ago. Moreover, the existence of the branding poison had also brought him good fortune, as his battle qi cultivation had also improved.

As for the branding poison that had invaded his body, it was extracted by Little Fairy Doctor. Although Xiao Yan could also use this, this plot hole was not filled even in the Great Thousand World in the original work. After thinking about it, Xiao Yan simply gave it all to Little Fairy Doctor.

Fortunately, this branding poison was also extremely beneficial to the Calamity Poison Body, so Chen Yang praised Xiao Yan again.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about Nalan Jie's well-being. Nalan Jie, who had finally escaped the ravages of the branding poison, was in an excellent mood and, unusually, did not scold Nalan Yanran.

"Young Yan, I'm here. Thank you!" Nalan Jie got off the bed, stretched his limbs, clenched his fist, and bowed deeply to Xiao Yan.

"Old Master Nalan, you're too kind. This is a fair transaction; there's no need for such formalities." Xiao Yan waved his hand, his meaning clear: the illness was cured, and it was time to pay the medical bills, old man.

"A deal is a deal, but Yan boy, you've freed me from the suffering of these past few years. It's like a second life for me." Nalan Jie waved for Nalan Su to fetch the items, then sat down in the chair next to Xiao Yan. "These past few years, the pain of the branding poison flaring up... tsk..."

Nalan Jie shook his head, then waved for Xiao Yan to sit down as well. Xiao Yan sat down on the chair next to Nalan Jie, while Nalan Yanran hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea.

"Sigh! Let's not talk about those messy things. Anyway, I will remember your great kindness, Yan boy. If you ever need anything in the future, I and the Nalan family will do our best!" Nalan Jie made a vague and empty promise.

Xiao Yan chuckled, not taking Nalan Jie's promise to heart. Over the years, he had long since learned to judge people by their actions.

Of all the major powers in the capital, apart from the Mu family, which he has not yet come into contact with, only the Mittel family makes him feel that he can trust them.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Hai Bodong risked his life to stop the female Douhuang of the Snake Mansion a few days ago is enough to make him feel at ease entrusting his back to Hai Bodong.

As for the others... I will not comment on them for now.

Nalan Jie was very talkative today. He discussed Xiao Yan's family, his cultivation journey, and subtly inquired about Xiao Yan's teachers, etc. Xiao Yan evaded all of these questions, neither being too close nor too distant.

As I said before, although he and Nalan Yanran could never be husband and wife in this life, for the sake of Yun Yun and Brother Yang, they were still friends, so there was no need to really fight to the death with the Nalan family.

The two chatted for about ten minutes before Nalan Su walked in, clutching two storage rings.
