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

"An eighth-grade pill... no, that's not right!"

Upon hearing about the eighth-grade pill, Xiong Zhan's face instantly lit up with wild joy, but the next moment he froze in place, what did that mean... refining bloodline?!

"Fool, of course you'd choose the latter. You know, Xiao Yan's fire control technique is unmatched on the continent. Besides, he helped the pet bird of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan revert to its ancestral form just a few days ago." Zi Yan chuckled and gave Xiong Zhan a hint.

Before coming to Shengdan City, she went to Taiqing Gate first.

Naturally, I am aware of what has been happening on the mainland these days.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Even the rough-looking man's face turned red.

Only now did it finally understand why Zi Yan had said that Xiao Yan's alchemy skills were in a league of their own...

An eighth-grade alchemy master, coupled with his miraculous refining techniques, would likely be one of the top figures even within the Pill Tower.

"Please, my lord, help me refine my bloodline. I am willing to serve you for eternity," Xiong Zhan said sincerely, kneeling on the ground.

Xiao Yan smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"Since you are willing to refine it, let's begin."

Xiong Zhan let out a low roar, a sound that was both dragon-like and bear-like, shaking the mountains and forests. His body swelled up inch by inch, his fur covered his entire body, and his vertical pupils were tinged with scarlet.

An eighth-tier magical beast, a powerful being at the Dou Zun realm, indeed possesses considerable power.

A terrifying flame surged from Xiao Yan's body, the three flames combined to spew out a fire dragon, which heavily surrounded Xiong Zhan's body. Under the scorching heat of the flames, the latter's originally thick, needle-like hair was softened and eventually fell off, turning grayish-black. This caused Xiong Zhan to look pained, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

There are too many hurdles for them to overcome in Warcraft.

The slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin. Compared to those adventures with no reward in sight, this visible increase in pain is nothing.

"Ahhhhh!!! That feels so good!"

Xiong Zhan howled and roared in the flames.

Its skin was scorched and peeled away, but its physical body received a terrifying boost, and its bloodline was actually refined...

Originally, the bloodline was impure and turbid. After the impurities were removed, it gradually became pure. Many times, it was not that the bloodline in the body was insufficient, but that the bloodline was mixed with too many miscellaneous things. In ancient times, after thousands of years of changes, countless bloodlines merged, naturally resulting in a hodgepodge.

"Ooh~!!"

Within a few hours.

Inside the cave, another roar erupted, shaking the entire mountain range.

Xiao Yan looked down.

Suddenly, a pair of jet-black dragon wings sprouted from Xiong Zhan's back. The bloodline of the ancient dragon bear was activated to its limit, and his cultivation level surged several times over. He advanced directly from his initial cultivation level of around one-star Dou Zun to five-star Dou Zun. Furthermore, due to the activation of his bloodline, he was even able to fight against opponents of higher levels...

"Xiong Zhan is willing to follow you to the death, sir!"

Xiong Zhan's eyes turned red, and his enormous, ferocious beast body knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily, causing the entire giant mountain to shake violently.

Countless magical beasts were bewildered and trembling, not knowing what had happened.

"Oh?"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.

"I don't just take in any guy..."

"I am willing to entrust my soul to you for safekeeping, sir." Xiong Zhan tore off a wisp of his soul and carefully handed it to Xiao Yan.

It's clinging to this powerful figure, it'll never let go, even if it means death.

"Ancient Dragon Bear, not bad..."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

After kneading the rather ferocious soul in his palm and putting it into his pocket, the enormous body slowly shrank back to its previous burly form.

On his exposed chest, the eight silver lines were beginning to vaguely outline the shape of the ninth.

If it can truly advance to the ninth level, it will become the Supreme Dragon Bear, a terrifying ferocious beast at the ninth-tier magical beast level of the Battle Saint realm.

Although the Ancient Dragon Bear and the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast both derive their bloodline power from the Ancient Void Dragon, the former has a terrifying upper limit and even produced a Battle Saint in ancient times, while the latter is quite exhausted.

"In that case, you shall be called Big Bear..."

Xiao Yan pondered for a while, then revealed a warm smile.

"Well……"

Xiong Zhan's eyes twitched, and it looked at Zi Yan with a pleading expression. This girl could speak up for Xiao Yan, and it was willing to submit to her, but her name was a bit too "casual".

"Why are you looking at me like that? Since you've joined him, you've severed all ties with my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Why don't you kneel down and thank him?" Zi Yan sat on Xiao Yan's shoulder, swinging her short legs. She held the last pill that had been poured out of the gourd in her hand and put it in her mouth. Her tone was indifferent, and she clearly had no intention of speaking up for him.

She was already at someone else's mercy, scheming how to squeeze some more pills out of Xiao Yan's pocket, so how could she possibly make a move at this time?

"Yes, thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Your Excellency."

Xiong Da, with a mournful face, kowtowed once.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and the others were quite envious. Having an eighth-order magical beast with ancient bloodlines under one's command was a charm that made people bow down in admiration. It was truly enviable, after all, even a ninth-grade alchemist might not have such a great reputation.

Not to mention... this little girl with a mysterious background.

"Junior Uncle, could you help us search for medicinal herbs as well?"

Cao Ying leaned in and said in a coquettish tone.

"Go find it yourselves. If you leave everything to me, then I, as your elder, might as well take the Pill Gathering in your place. Don't blame me for not reminding you, there are less than ten days left until the end of the assessment. If you are eliminated because of this, I will not bail you out..." Xiao Yan glanced at the demoness and waved his hand.

The three then left with no other choice.

"You actually took on a disciple?" Zi Yan asked, her purple eyes flashing with slight surprise.

"You have good talent."

Xiao Yan smiled and looked into the distance.

"Is it because of her talent, or..." Zi Yan hummed, then swallowed the rest of her words when she saw someone approaching from afar.

As the space ahead was suddenly torn open, a figure riding a giant black tortoise slowly emerged. The old man in white robes nodded slightly to Xiao Yan, his usually calm face now showing a hint of solemnity and anger: "Elder Xiao guessed correctly. Those beasts from the Soul Hall have indeed mixed in with the crowd, and have even gathered some Dou Zong realm reinforcements. If a real battle breaks out, I'm afraid that less than one in ten of those pampered alchemists will survive..."

This person is truly enraged.

It's important to know that the entry requirements for the Pill Domain during the Pill Gathering aren't particularly stringent. For example, the two Xuanming Sect elders at the peak of the Dou Zong realm that Chen Chen brought with him weren't too strict even for the trials. After all, if the precious talents of various families were thrown into the Pill Domain without any reservations, it would be troublesome if something went wrong. Too lazy to argue, the Pill Tower simply turned a blind eye, letting things go as long as they didn't go too far.

After all, the focus of the Pill Gathering is still the final alchemist competition.

Even if you gather all the medicinal herbs and pass the trials, if you fail when it comes to the final showdown, then you fail.

Few dare to cheat under the watchful eyes of countless alchemists and the three giants of the Pill Tower.

Of course... the Soul Palace is an exception.

As the previous hall before the Tower of the Continent, the two have a deep-seated grudge. The Soul Hall's favorite prey is the soul of an alchemist, so the two are an irreconcilable feud.

The Soul Hall has now become so blatant. What is the purpose of sending those dozens of Dou Zong Soul Hall experts? Is it to protect Elder Mu Gu, who suppressed his Dou Zun realm cultivation to enter the Pill Domain?

joke!

That leaves only one possibility...

There must be a bigger plan behind this.

The Xuan Turtle Venerable looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. They were all colleagues, but this time he had truly owed Xiao Yan a favor. If such a big mess had happened in his area of ​​responsibility, he would have been held accountable by the giants afterward.

Besides, how many people would he offend in the outside world?

Having been reminded by Xiao Yan and having these beasts exposed ahead of time, he was both furious and relieved. He had already reported to the leaders and was also coming to find Xiao Yan as a response to his warning...

"The people of the Soul Palace deserve to die!!"

Venerable Xuan Turtle spoke in a cold voice.

"Hehe, the three giants already knew about the Soul Palace's infiltration, and my entry into the Pill Domain was also due to this..." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

However, they refused to say a word about why Mu Gu had come.

"Thank you very much, Elder Xiao." Venerable Xuan Turtle bowed slightly, his tone sincere.

"We're colleagues, no need for formalities," Xiao Yan said with a warm smile. "By the way, where are the people from the Soul Hall?"

"Om..."

Without wasting words, Venerable Xuan Turtle clenched his palm slightly, as if he were holding the entire Pill Domain in his palm. Then he turned it over and opened it, and a miniature three-dimensional map of the Pill Domain appeared on it.

"They are gathering near the core of the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range. Something's not right... They're about to make their move, and they're doing it so fast!" Venerable Xuan Turtle pointed to the map, where several dark black dots formed an encirclement, subtly approaching the other dots. The most dazzling one at the head was several times larger than the others.

"This is……"

Zi Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked in surprise, "Is this the spirit of the Pill Realm?"

Once any small world is created, it will develop intelligence. Although the Pill Domain was only created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse, it has also developed intelligence. With this intelligence, one can control all matters in the Pill Domain.

This control was obtained by Venerable Xuan Gui from Xuan Kong Zi.

The latter made no attempt to conceal it and simply took it out.
