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

"What's the point of comparing such a lowly realm? If you were to achieve the realm of dominating this world and its planes, you might be able to fight my boy a few times," Laozi said calmly.

Xiao Yan: "..."

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

What kind of bullshit demon is this? We'll just invite one of our senior brothers over and scatter its bones with a single halberd strike.

Muttering to himself, he noticed the burning envy in Otto and Frank's eyes and felt a pang of emotion. Sometimes, the gap between people is bigger than that between dogs.

……

"You passed the test?"

A hint of envy flashed in Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes. She gently wiped the three gold stars on Xiao Yan's chest with her delicate hand, being careful not to scratch them.

This is a third-grade alchemist.

In this vast Gama Empire, these three golden stars are like walking treasures. Any power that sees them for the first time will treat them with utmost respect and courtesy. Even high-level auctions that would otherwise be met with a cold shoulder by ordinary people will open up to them with special convenience.

This is an industry that countless people admire, a prestigious one that inspires envy.

She could foresee that once this guy participated in a certain alchemist competition, young women throughout the entire Gama Empire would probably be eager to throw themselves at him.

Xiao Xun'er's words came to mind.

"How about we form an alliance..."

"An alliance, huh?"

Little Fairy Doctor murmured softly.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go!" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow as he saw the girl bending over, her beautiful eyes fixed on the three gold stars on his chest.

"Oh...should I summon Blue Treasure?" Little Fairy Doctor came back to her senses, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she stammered. She naturally knew what the alliance meant.

Who knows, this guy might even want her and Xun'er together then.

She unconsciously started thinking about that shivering side.

"No need, let's take the Thick-Winged Bird. There's a transit station in Blackrock City." Xiao Yan glanced at the girl suspiciously, seemingly lost in thought, then swept her up to her slender waist. The pale golden wings on his back took flight, heading towards the city center.

"Where...where are you going?"

The maid selling tickets stammered.

Nonsense, who wouldn't panic upon seeing a third-grade alchemist at the "Battle King" level? In this Black Rock City, even a first-grade alchemist is someone her status can't afford to offend.

"Any random city in the eastern part of the empire, near the Tagor Desert." Xiao Yan casually tossed out a few gold coins.

"You are an alchemist, so all flights within the empire are free..." The maid glanced enviously at Little Fairy Doctor, who was lying in Xiao Yan's arms, her soft waist being held by him, her face covered by a light veil.

To be favored by such a powerful figure, what a lucky woman...

He quickly processed the pass and handed it to Xiao Yan with both hands.

He watched the two leave.

Chapter 33 Hai Bodong: I won't argue! They're after me?

A woman draped in a light veil swayed her ample hips and slender waist, leading Xiao Yan to the back of a thick-winged bird. There was a wooden house built there, which was divided into several compartments.

The inhabitants were all alchemists. When they first caught a glimpse of Xiao Yan's young and innocent face, they were somewhat amused. However, when their gazes fell on the three golden stars on his chest, they turned into shocked ducks with their throats choked.

"My lord, if you feel lonely on your journey, you may ring the bell and call us to come and serve you..." the woman said with a smile.

Before she could finish speaking, Little Fairy Doctor blocked Xiao Yan's path, glaring fiercely at the maid with her purple eyes.

"Well, then this servant will take her leave." The maid glanced at Little Fairy Doctor with a strange look, the envy in her eyes growing stronger. As a servant, to receive such favor was truly...

Little Fairy Doctor had no idea what the other party was thinking about her, nor did she know that she had suddenly become Xiao Yan's slave. She simply put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

However, compared to the surging waves on the other side, my little dried fruit is rather... insignificant.

"Hey, hey, I haven't finished talking yet. What are you talking about serving?" Xiao Yan clicked his tongue, still wanting more.

"You rascal, do you really not understand or are you just pretending?" Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan, then gracefully sat down on a stool in the room and began fiddling with the poisonous herbs she had previously purchased in Black Rock City.

Although she no longer needs to feed on poison thanks to Xiao Yan's Netherworld Poison Fire, it is still her means of attack and her trump card, which cannot be discarded.

Xiao Yan plopped down on the bed, leaning back. The environment was indeed nice, and there were even expensive Qingxin Grasses, which sold for 10,000 gold coins a plant outside, but here there were a dozen or so casually planted, showing a lot of wealth and extravagance.

So what's next...?

These are the eldest and second eldest brothers.

His memory of his two older brothers was rather vague. He only remembered that his second brother always had a bright smile and was carefree and unserious, while his eldest brother had a gentle smile and deep, profound eyes.

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well refine some pills..."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, summoned his furnace, and amidst the raging fire serpents, one after another, Grade 3 Spirit Rhinoceros Meridian Opening Pills were produced. The fragrance of the pills filled the air, shocking the alchemists in the surrounding wooden houses as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Alchemy is an extremely physically demanding profession. Even when they refine a first or second-grade pill, they need to rest for half a day. Anyone who dares to refine pills without rest or sleep like Xiao Yan would be asking for death.

"Om..."

Another day.

Xiao Yan put the refined Spirit Rhinoceros Meridian Opening Pill into the jade bottle, exhaled a deep breath, and broke through again.

Seven Star Fighter.

He felt the subtle currents flowing through his meridians, constantly nourishing them. As the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique advanced to the second stage, his physical body seemed to be being refined time and again, becoming increasingly resilient.

Now, his physical body alone has two layers of protection.

The first is the Vajra Technique, which focuses on external matters.

Secondly, there was the protective aura inherent in the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. Those wisps of white energy were invisible and different from the fighting spirit, yet they nourished his physical body. He estimated that this might be the secret to achieving physical sainthood.

A glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

He relied on the Vajra Technique to get through the early stages, and once the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts became powerful, his physical body would be truly invincible.

Once he reaches the third stage, he can refine himself into a "god" and begin to cultivate his soul perception, which is the most important part of an alchemist. You should know that he has not cultivated it at all yet, and is purely relying on the "technique" of controlling fire to refine pills.

Once there is a breakthrough in spiritual awareness, the level of alchemy will inevitably increase dramatically again.

This is why he wasn't in a hurry to ask Laozi about the method of cultivating soul perception; he already had all the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts covered.

Sure enough, the more I practiced, the more I felt the profound mystery of this technique.

It encompasses everything in heaven and earth; one can obtain all methods by cultivating one method.

Also in the future, they will use supernatural powers such as the Law of Heaven and Earth and the Seventy-Two Transformations to solidify their foundation.

"woke up?"

Little Fairy Doctor lay on the table, staring listlessly at Xiao Yan. When she saw that he had finally stopped, a hint of heat flashed in her light purple eyes, and she quickly came closer. "These past few days, I don't know how much effort I've put into protecting you. Those guys around here are really envious when they see you refining third-grade pills. If I hadn't stopped them, they probably would have rushed into this room long ago."

"Don't bother me."

Xiao Yan tossed out a jade bottle, his tone indifferent.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad!" Little Fairy Doctor revealed her tiger teeth with a bright smile. She carefully opened the box as if it were a precious treasure, pinching one of the light purple pills between her jade fingers. Her throat bobbed, and her eyes were almost glued to the pill.

She glanced back at Xiao Yan and gave a rather arrogant snort.

You're smart to know what's good for you!

This pill was made from poisonous herbs and tempered with Netherworld Poison Fire. Compared to the pure toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Fire, it was milder for her, and it had a suppressive effect. Moreover, it tasted sweeter and more delicious.

"This woman..."

Xiao Yan's expression was strange. Where was my ice-cold beauty, Little Fairy Doctor?

This guy is starting to look more and more like Zi Yan.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, when she met Little Fairy Doctor again in the original story, she was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, which is considered mature and older. She had also struggled in the Poison Sect and almost lost her life. Now, she is only sixteen years old and has not experienced much. Her mind is not yet mature.

"Whoo~"

A gentle breeze was blowing outside, and the entire wooden house gradually tilted, clearly about to land.

"Let's go, I can't be bothered with those guys."

Xiao Yan put away the alchemy furnace, grabbed Little Fairy Doctor by the back of her neck, stepped out of the house, and amidst the stunned gazes of several alchemists around him, a pair of pale golden wings on his back trembled, and he transformed into a streak of light, rapidly descending towards the land.

……

I spotted a quaint, old-fashioned shop.

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids slightly, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. Besides the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, there was also our Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

A third-grade alchemist?

Inside the shop, an elderly man with white hair, wearing a monocle and carefully studying the blueprints in his hand, slowly raised his head, a look of surprise and astonishment flashing in his eyes.

And judging by his age... he's not even twenty.

Even he found it hard to believe. When did the Jia Ma Empire produce such a prodigy? Or was it... a prodigy from some top power outside the Jia Ma Empire who came out to gain experience?

In short, you shouldn't offend them easily.

Hai Bodong's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

He didn't believe anyone would be foolish enough to casually use the identity of a third-grade alchemist to swindle people, and besides, the black gauze material didn't seem fake.
