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

The old physician stroked his beard and smiled: "Teaching a few disciples is still teaching, but to be able to teach the only person in the Dou Qi Continent with the Calamity Poison Body how to refine medicine is an honor for this old man!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded and gave Old Medicine Master a graceful bow.

……

In the following days, Xiao Yan assisted Chen Yang, and the two of them refined most of the remaining forty-odd acres of poisonous flowers and herbs into poison pills. Only the last three acres remained. Those three acres of poisonous flowers were all medicinal materials for refining eighth-grade poison pills. Although Chen Yang could try with his current alchemy skills and soul power, he felt that he might not be able to withstand the pill lightning of an eighth-grade pill, so he gave up.

Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor also made rapid progress, successfully refining a first-grade pill in just a few days. Of course, this was related to Little Fairy Doctor's strength of a one-star Dou Huang and her soul power in the late mortal realm. In addition, she had been influenced by Chen Yang's pill refining, so her progress in learning pill refining was naturally rapid.

"With your soul power, Little Fairy Doctor, you might be able to reach the seventh-grade alchemist level in the future!" the old doctor said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind words!" Little Fairy Doctor chuckled.

……

With the poison pills now complete, it was time for the group to part ways.

Chen Yang was planning to go to the Black Corner Region to retrieve the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, and Xiao Yan also had to rush back to Canaan Academy, so time was still very tight.

After Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin exchanged some intimate words, Qinglin blushed and held Chen Yang's hand, standing in the air looking at Little Fairy Doctor waving to them.

"My husband, Brother Yan, Elder Yao, please take good care of yourselves!"

"Qinglin, don't forget what your sister told you!"

Little Fairy Doctor waved and shouted at the group.

"Xian'er, please be careful when you cultivate!" Chen Yang instructed.

"Little Fairy Doctor, here are some common medicinal herbs I've collected. You can use them to practice!" Xiao Yan also offered his gift.

"Little fairy, this is a handbook I wrote for alchemists below the fifth rank. Study it carefully!" The old alchemist also gave her a gift.

Looking at the people who were so kind to her, Little Fairy Doctor felt a warmth in her heart and became even more determined to improve her strength.

"Don't worry, my husband, I will definitely come to find you, I definitely will!" Little Fairy Doctor said with a determined look.

"Hmm... My husband has always believed in you. Goodbye..."

"goodbye……"

Chapter 103 Xiao Yan: As long as Brother Yang isn't doing this for me...

Above the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, Chen Yang looked at the thick poisonous miasma before him, his reluctance even stronger than before. The greatest pain of parting is not at the moment of parting, but shortly afterward.

Xiao Yan and Qing Lin stood silently to his left and right, waiting for more than twenty minutes before Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go. With this poisonous miasma covering the area, Xian'er's safety is assured!"

Reluctant as we are, we must continue on the road ahead. Little Fairy Doctor has exceptional talent, and if we keep her by our side and let her miss her best development period, she may not be able to reach the pinnacle in the future.

What he has always wanted is to reach the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds, and even break through the shackles of the Heavenly Ranking and jump out of the river of time.

At the height of his extraordinary achievements, he did not want any of the people around him to disappear.

Therefore, Chen Yang would not let go of any opportunity that would allow them to become stronger.

……

The journey from the Izumo Empire to the Black Corner Region is farther than the flight from the Gama Empire to the Izumo Empire.

It took Chen Yang and his two companions a full day to finally arrive at Black Seal City in the Black Corner Region. After paying a hefty entrance fee, the three entered the city.

Black Seal City gave Chen Yang only one impression: chaos. After entering the city, fights and killings were everywhere. Some inconspicuous guys even coveted Chen Yang's group of three, two young men with a beautiful young woman.

Xiao Yan had nothing to say to these ignorant bastards; regardless of their strength, he would simply raise his hand and kill them with a single punch.

After killing seven groups of people and killing a two-star Dou Ling with a single punch, Chen Yang and his two companions finally became feared by others.

Although the people in the Black Corner are all villains, they are rarely idiots.

If the black-robed man who looked like a lackey could kill a two-star Dou Ling with a single punch, what kind of strength must the green-robed young master who didn't lift a finger throughout the whole thing possess?

Or, to put it another way, can you guarantee that there might be an even stronger force hidden among the three of them on the surface?

"This Black Corner Region is too chaotic. And this is still in the city. I really don't know what it's like outside." Xiao Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, looked at the crowd around him who were looking at them with apprehension, and shook his head helplessly.

"With the strength of Canaan Academy, dealing with these trash would be a piece of cake. The only reason we keep them around is to prevent the students from living too comfortably."

"True strength cannot be learned in school."

Chen Yang glanced at the criminals around him, smiled disdainfully, and said to Xiao Yan and Qing Lin.

The dean of Canaan Academy, Mang Tianchi, is a genuine half-saint powerhouse. Not to mention that Canaan Academy also has more than two peak Dou Zong powerhouses. If all these people were to come out, wiping out the Black Corner Region would be an easy task.

The reason for leaving these people to cause trouble is simply to allow the Black Corner Region to develop in a more chaotic direction, which would also benefit the growth of the students of Canaan Academy.

"That dean of Canaan Academy is quite a remarkable person!" Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears.

"Who is stronger, him or the teacher?" Xiao Yan knew that Yao Lao was once a Dou Zun powerhouse, and he also knew that the dean of Canaan Academy was a Dou Zun, so he asked.

"Well, before I was killed, I was definitely stronger than him, but now..." Yao Lao shook his head in the bone ring, then said, "Perhaps after I am resurrected, if I take another step forward, my strength will surpass his."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was immediately filled with fighting spirit: "Don't worry, teacher. I already have the remains of a Dou Zong, and we've basically met, or even exceeded, the conditions for the three different flames. Now, all that's left is the seventh-grade Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, and the essence and bloodline of a seventh-order magical beast. Brother Yang is already a seventh-grade alchemist. As long as we collect the ingredients for the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, Brother Yang can help us refine it. As for the essence and bloodline of the seventh-order magical beast, we should be able to find it if we have the chance!"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary stroked his beard and smiled: "It's good that you have the intention, but... the ingredients for the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, as well as the essence and bloodline of a seventh-order magical beast, are not easy to find at all. At the very least, it's almost impossible to find them all in the Northwest Continent. Perhaps it will be easier once you go to the Central Continent Grand Stage!"

Yao Lao didn't want to put too much pressure on Xiao Yan, nor did he want Xiao Yan to ruin his friendship with Chen Yang because of his own reasons.

"Well... then I'll work hard to cultivate and strive to be qualified to go to the Central Plains for training as soon as possible. Maybe by then I'll be able to possess three different flames and become a seventh-grade alchemist!" Xiao Yan was somewhat disappointed, but not particularly disappointed.

His experiences along the way have greatly changed his perspective and attitude towards things, so when facing difficulties, he maintains a positive and optimistic attitude.

"What are you and Yao Lao talking about? Aren't you watching where you're going?" Just then, Chen Yang suddenly grabbed Xiao Yan to prevent him from bumping into a thief. After casually severing the thief's hands as punishment, Chen Yang pulled Xiao Yan forward.

"Hiss... In this Black Corner Region, you really can't be distracted for even a moment!" Xiao Yan gasped. He had a lot of savings on him now, with hundreds of storage rings alone. If they were stolen, he would have nowhere to cry.

Pulling himself together, Xiao Yan briefly recounted his conversation with Yao Lao to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded upon hearing this, and after a brief moment's thought, replied, "Resurrecting Yao Lao is certainly important, but it's too far off for you right now. Besides, are you really satisfied with just a skeleton from Yunshan? Why don't you consider what would happen if you could find the skeleton of a half-saint or even a Dou Sheng powerhouse, obtain the essence of an eighth or even ninth-grade magical beast with ancient bloodlines, and supplement it with some even more powerful rare and precious materials to refine a body for Yao Lao..."

The more Chen Yang spoke, the more excited Xiao Yan became. At first, he only wanted to revive his teacher, but after Chen Yang said this, he suddenly realized that the few things Yao Lao mentioned were just the most basic conditions. Reviving Yao Lao was not the only option, but there were better options.

"If Elder Yao is resurrected and directly steps into the Dou Sheng realm... tsk tsk, Little Yan, you might not be able to walk sideways in this Dou Qi Continent, but at least when you go out and say 'I am Xiao Yan, the young sect master of Xingyun Pavilion,' no one in the Dou Qi Continent will not give you face." Chen Yang's words made Xiao Yan's blood boil, and at the same time, he also learned that Elder Yao was actually the sect master of that Xingyun Pavilion.

"Tsk tsk... Just thinking about it is quite exciting!" Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Slap!" Just as Xiao Yan was at his most excited, Chen Yang reached out and slapped him on the back of the neck.

Seeing the boy's somewhat aggrieved look, Chen Yang patted him on the shoulder again: "Kid, those things are still too far away for you right now. Your priority right now is to work hard to improve your strength."

"To allow the Xiao family to stand tall again in the Jia Ma Empire, the strength of a Dou Wang is certainly sufficient, but if you want to find the things that resurrected your teacher, even a Dou Zong is not enough, not to mention, there is also the Soul Palace watching from behind."

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this. He was excited, but not to the point of being carried away.

“I overheard some things when you killed someone. There will be a large-scale auction in Black Seal City tomorrow night. You’ve recently made a fortune, so you might be able to get some good stuff.”

"Also, there should be a pharmacy in Black Seal City. Besides the herbs you need to devour the strange fire, go and buy a batch of other herbs. Here is a list of herbs!" Chen Yang said, handing Xiao Yan a piece of paper filled with the names of herbs.

"This..." Xiao Yan looked at the medicinal herbs on the list, some of which he recognized and some he didn't, and looked up at Chen Yang. "Brother Yang, there are some main ingredients for refining sixth-grade pills here. Do you want to refine a sixth-grade pill?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "Not only that, the last seven ingredients are auxiliary ingredients for the seventh-grade pill, Earth Core Tempering Pill. However, the Earth Core Tempering Emulsion is not here. We need to obtain it later before we can refine it for you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan responded with an "oh," then suddenly realized, "Refine it for me? For me?"

Chen Yang nodded: "What else did you think? You've amassed so much wealth, shouldn't I congratulate you on your fortune?"

"Besides paying for these medicinal herbs, once the pills are refined, you'll have to bring out even more good stuff!"

"Wow, so much money! I really need to think about how to spend it!"

Chen Yang chuckled, then took Qing Lin's hand and walked towards a nearby inn. He had just scanned the inn with his soul power and found that the strongest person there was a Seven-Star Dou Ling. Even if he couldn't protect the guests, at least they wouldn't have to worry about the inn suddenly exploding while they slept at night.

Xiao Yan watched Chen Yang enter the inn, and after a moment of distraction, he hurriedly followed. Chen Yang booked a suite of the highest tier, while Xiao Yan booked a single room next to Chen Yang's. After checking in, Chen Yang instructed the waiter to bring some food. After flying for a whole day and night, he could finally rest.

……

Next door, after Xiao Yan entered, he carefully checked the room's layout and, after confirming that there was nothing strange or unusual, Yao Lao slowly floated out.

"Teacher, these medicinal herbs..." Xiao Yan handed the list of medicinal herbs to Yao Lao. Yao Lao stroked his beard and looked at it for a moment, then sighed, "I say, Xiao Yan, did you save the Dou Qi Continent in your past life? How come you've encountered such a benefactor in this life?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback: "Teacher, are you saying that the pills Brother Yang refined for me this time are incredibly effective?"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary sighed, "Even I, your teacher, am not sure what kind of pills can be made from these medicinal herbs. However, the first six should be a type of recovery pill, which also has the effect of body tempering. The last one, if combined with the Earth Core Tempering Milk, should be used to temper the internal organs and strengthen the foundation."

After examining it carefully for a moment, Yao Lao sighed again, "Little Yanzi, if you obtain these two kinds of pills, your already solid foundation will become even more solid. You won't even experience any weakness in your battle qi when you reach the Dou Zong realm. Do you know what that means?"

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"This means that if you devour the Fallen Heart Flame, you can use its energy to level up without any worries. If you're lucky, it's not impossible for you to advance to the Dou Huang realm in one go!" Yao Lao exclaimed.

"Hiss!" Xiao Yan gasped.

But at the same time, he was also heartbroken about the hundreds of storage rings he had and the resources inside. Chen Yang was obviously after all his wealth by taking out such good stuff.

"Also, there's something I must remind you of. Young Chen should know about the special features of the cultivation technique you're practicing. As for the specifics, you can decide for yourself. I won't interfere with your decision!" After saying that, Yao Lao floated back into the bone ring.

Xiao Yan, who was left behind, was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that before Chen Yang gave him the list of medicinal herbs, he had also told him to collect the medicinal herbs needed to devour the strange fire...

After a full two and a half minutes of silence, Xiao Yan chuckled. He reached out and stroked the bone ring on his finger, and said softly, "Teacher, I rose from humble beginnings. It can be said that without Brother Yang, there would be no Xiao Yan today. He has been no less kind to me than you are, but for a long time, all he has asked me for are some mundane things like gold coins!"

At this point, Xiao Yan lay back on the bed, gazing at the ridge above the bed, and murmured again, "No matter why Brother Yang helped me so much along the way, as long as it wasn't for my butt, I... Ouch, Brother Yang, I was wrong, I'll go buy the medicinal herbs right now... Aren't you next door? Why are you eavesdropping on me? You wouldn't really... Hiss hiss hiss, I won't say anymore, I'll go right now, I'll go right now..."

With Chen Yang's strength at the Dou Zong level, even if he didn't intentionally eavesdrop on Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's conversation, a mere wall wouldn't be enough to block his ears, let alone the fact that he went to listen on purpose this time.

Chen Yang had initially been quite moved by Xiao Yan's words, but the kid's ramblings quickly veered off course, forcing Chen Yang to intervene and loosen the kid's muscles, helping him get his thoughts back on track.

Clutching the back of his neck, Xiao Yan slunk out of the inn, the sound of Yao Lao's hearty laughter ringing in his ears. The old man had deliberately projected his voice into Xiao Yan's mind, leaving Xiao Yan speechless.

"Old man, it's all your fault, damn it..." Xiao Yan cursed and asked around all the way to the Thousand Medicine Shop in Black Seal City, then took out a list of medicinal herbs and began to buy them.

Unfortunately, even at Qianyaofang, the largest pharmacy in Black Seal City, Xiao Yan only managed to buy half of the medicinal herbs on the list, and he didn't get any of the ingredients for the Earth Spirit Pill that could devour strange fire.

"Fortunately, Brother Yang said that this crucial Earth Core Tempering Milk isn't available here either. We'll check the auction tomorrow night. If that doesn't work, we'll try looking at Canaan Academy. It's such a big academy; they should have an alchemy department, right?" Xiao Yan looked at the medicinal herbs in his storage ring, shook his head helplessly, and then bought some more herbs he needed for alchemy before leaving Qianyaofang.

As for those few petty thieves who were following us?

Xiao Yan found a corner and dealt with them one by one.

Those followers who were generally at the Dou Shi level almost knelt down and called him "Grandpa" when they realized that the person they wanted to rob was actually a Dou Wang. Unfortunately, although Xiao Yan was not a bad person, he was not a saint either. If you wanted to take his things, you had to pay the price with your life first.

……

Just as Chen Yang and his group arrived in Black Seal City to attend the auction, at Canaan Academy, Xun'er, dressed in a green dress, was approached by her instructor, Ruolin, who looked at her with a face full of reproach towards the student she was so proud of...
