Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

Her beautiful eyes filled with even greater admiration.

After all, this kind of knowledge is not just an overview of ordinary martial arts techniques and fighting skills by family elders; it talks about the most fundamental parts of the human body.

After class.

"Master is also a figure who can establish a sect and become a legendary patriarch," Ye Xinlan said with a smile.

"Yes, Master... is very strong."

Dan Chen swung her legs and said with a bright, lively look in her eyes.

Her complexion has improved considerably. In just half a month, with the cultivation techniques taught by her master and the help of the jade pendant to suppress the powerful soul force within her body, she has now achieved a preliminary balance.

The more you understand it, the more you feel its mystery and awe.

She, too, is a frog in a well.

"Oh, you two are both here?"

A soft, charming female voice rang out.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and to the astonishment of the two, Cao Ying, dressed in a black dress, made her exposed skin appear even more fair and delicate. Her slender and graceful figure, coupled with her long, white legs, made Dan Chen and Ye Xinlan feel a little envious, or even jealous.

"Where is Junior Uncle? Where did he go?"

As soon as Cao Ying entered the door, she looked around the courtyard but did not see Xiao Yan. She smiled and asked him.

"Hmph, if Miss Cao has nothing else to do, please leave. You know how busy Master is, and he has to prepare for the upcoming Pill Gathering." Ye Xinlan was rather sarcastic.

"What's there to be busy about at the Pill Refining Conference? At worst, Dan Chen and I won't participate and will just step aside. Besides... with Junior Uncle's alchemy skills, even if we both become eighth-grade alchemists, we'd be nothing more than children playing around in front of him." Cao Ying said with a grin, then cupped Dan Chen's pretty face in her hands: "Girl, where is Junior Uncle?"

"In, in the inner room..."

Dan Chen couldn't stand the scene of her sweet breath and blushed as she whispered.

"Don't worry, if I get to eat meat, I'll definitely share some soup with you. As for Xinlan, well, that's another story." Cao Ying teased Dan Chen playfully, but the girl's face turned even redder.

"Alright, come in..."

A helpless voice came from the inner room.

……

Regarding Dan Chen's rapidly improving alchemy skills.

Although Cao Ying was somewhat envious, she did not regret becoming Xuan Yi's disciple. She could only occasionally go to the inner region of the Pill Tower to talk to Xiao Yan or audit his classes. When Xiao Yan was teaching, she would secretly tease him from behind. If she went too far, Xiao Yan would spank her, but she still enjoyed it.

Dan Chen, on the other hand, was soft-spoken and gentle, never arguing or fighting.

Ye Xinlan, as the "senior sister," also harbors a slight resentment towards Xiao Yan, which is why she often bickers with Cao Ying.

Xiao Yan didn't care and simply took it in stride.

The two monks had no water to drink, but he got to relax.

The reason Cao Ying was allowed to come was precisely for this reason; otherwise…

Instead of thinking about how to improve his cultivation, he only thinks about how to devour him, as if he were the flesh of Tang Sanzang.

……

The next chapter will be updated at 1:30 AM.

Chapter 208 Nine Venerables: Don't make a move; Mu Gu: Understood, I will kill him!

"Our teacher said that the purpose of this Pill Gathering is to obtain the Three Thousand Blazing Flames. Whoever can subdue it will have rendered a great service to the Pill Tower. Of course, this is on the condition that it is not the Soul Hall, or..."

Cao Ying fiddled with her hair, looking utterly bored.

"Three Thousand Blazing Flames?"

The Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, her slender white hand, which had been playing with the dark green flame in her hand, suddenly clenched and blew it out. "Why do I seem to have some kind of special obsession with flames?"

"Who knows, you might be the most suitable person to absorb it?" Cao Ying lazily and unrestrainedly displayed the abundant fruit. There were only women around, so she didn't care. However, Ye Xinlan gritted her teeth and Dan Chen felt ashamed of herself.

The aloof and haughty enchantress from the outside world is actually so unrestrained.

“But you’re not suited for it…” Cao Ying then shook her head, rejecting the guess: “After all, you’re not an alchemist, and the only Netherworld Poison Fire you control was given to you by Xiao Yan. You are good with poison, that’s true, but not with fire.”

Just as the four women were chatting, Xiao Yan took a step forward.

He was still dressed in a magnificent dark black robe, with pale gold patterns carved on the edges. Combined with his handsome appearance and otherworldly temperament, he had quite a unique charm.

Upon their appearance, they drew admiring glances from the girls.

"Today is the day we enter the Pill Domain. You should all prepare yourselves," Xiao Yan said calmly.

"I will obey Master's decree."

Ye Xinlan said to Dan Chen.

Xiao Yan: "..."

He glanced at Cao Ying with annoyance. This girl only knows how to teach haphazardly, making a mess of things every day, and now she can't be corrected.

"Hehe, how are your preparations going, Junior Uncle? My junior sister Dan Chen and I are really looking forward to seeing you show your skills at the Pill Gathering." Cao Ying said with a smile, showing no fear at all.

"You've also advanced to the Spirit Realm?" Xiao Yan glanced at Cao Ying and nodded slightly. It seemed that this girl hadn't just barely managed to advance by obtaining rare and precious materials in the Pill Domain; it was a natural progression for her.

Cao Ying hugged Xiao Yan's arm, swayed it slightly, and said obediently, "We have to thank Junior Uncle for his excellent guidance."

"If Elder Xuanyi hears this, hmph..." Xiao Yan said irritably, ignoring the girl's flattery.

His gaze immediately fell upon the rather respectful Dan Chen, whose soul amplification was rather exaggerated...

Dan Chen had entered the Spirit Realm a month ago, making her a level above Cao Ying. Now, after cultivating the Pure and Tranquil Scripture and with the jade pendant "enchanted" by Laozi, she has restored the Three Elements to their original state, gradually replenishing the deficiencies in her body, and her face has become visibly rosy.

I reckon my alchemy skills are good enough to summon four-colored thunderclouds.

Danxuan visited once in between, and was quite excited to see Danchen. He brought a truly meaningful gift for Danchen's apprenticeship.

A recipe for a high-grade eighth-rank elixir, treasured by the Dan family.

It is said that if successfully refined, it would attract eight-colored or even nine-colored pill lightning, because this pill was supposedly once a ninth-grade pill, but was later downgraded to the peak of the eighth grade due to various reasons. The pill family also provided all kinds of medicinal materials and eighth-order magical beast cores, which made Xiao Yan, who originally planned to ask Xuan Kongzi for it, quite satisfied. After all, his "foundation" was shallow, and he didn't have the formula for a high-grade eighth-grade pill, or even a ninth-grade pill. He would either have to ask his teacher for it, but unfortunately...

After teaching Danchen, the teacher disappeared again.

And the Dan family's apprenticeship ceremony was a heartfelt gesture.

"May I ask, Junior Uncle, has your alchemy skill improved again?" Cao Ying blinked her eyes, quite curious.

"So-so..."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said.

He only reached the peak of the Spirit Realm. With the simple iron piece he had a few days ago, which produced some spiritual dust, absorbing it could enhance his soul power. In addition, his Eight-Nine Arcane Technique had also improved, so the increase in his soul power was gratifying. As for his cultivation, he also successfully broke through to the Dou Zun Realm.

They can manipulate space, tear through the void, and traverse across it with their physical bodies.

Only after fully entering the void did he truly experience the charm of wielding the power of heaven and earth, and the earth-shattering, sea-overturning might.

He used to be able to beat up a Dou Zun powerhouse, but he had never experienced it. Now that he has fully stepped into it, he feels the vastness of the world in a single thought.

"Let's go, let's set off."

Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the four of them headed towards the Pill Tower.

……

Saint Dan City.

The crowd was vast and boundless, like a surging sea. This year's champion and the top few were qualified to attempt to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, making the already popular Pill Gathering even more extravagant than in previous years.

"Any alchemist of the fifth rank or above can participate in the Pill Gathering, but anyone below the seventh rank is just there to make up the numbers," Cao Ying said with a smile, stretching to herself.

"Moreover, the Pill Gathering has no age limit. For the sake of the Three Thousand Flames, some well-known old guys have all come. It's really..."

Her long, narrow eyes swept across the crowd, and she pursed her lips.

"Anyway, with you and Dan Chen in this year's competition, they have no chance of winning first place."

Xuan Kongzi and his companions appeared and explained that the champion of this competition would not only have the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, but also obtain an ancient secret method for nurturing soul power, causing a stir among the audience. Finally, they opened the stone tablet gate and entered the Pill Realm to begin the first test.

Xiao Yan's identity has also attracted a lot of attention.

An eighth-grade alchemist is one of the strongest contenders in this competition, and the fact that he was able to become an elder in the Pill Tower already speaks volumes. After all, even Cao Ying and Dan Chen never held a position in the Pill Tower.

"Hehehe, that's Xiao Yan..."

In a dark corner.

A cold, hoarse voice rang out.

The old man Mu Gu loosened a corner of his black hood, revealing a smug smile on his face, like a mantis stalking a cicada. He had been lying in wait here for more than a month, and finally he had caught this guy.

They actually dare to be so presumptuous and arrogant, truly unaware of the saying that "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."

"Since you wish to die, then I will grant your wish..."

"We will capture you and bring you back to the Soul Clan, thus achieving a great feat."

He rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat drooling.

"Drip..."

The next instant, a token suddenly flashed. He was somewhat taken aback as he channeled his battle qi, and only then did a broken voice come through.
